LeBron James stands alone with sixth straight 30-point, 60%
 MIAMI — It’s not the type of streak that LeBron James ever thought about, this run of putting together at least 30 points and 60% shooting in six straight games. Still,belstaff gangster jacket, it’s something he’ll savour. He’s rolling right now, and so are the Miami Heat. James scored 30 points on 11-for-15 shooting to get into the NBA record books,belstaff gangster leather jacket, Chris Bosh scored 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds,Belstaff Waxed Cotton jacket review, and the Heat wound up beating the Portland Trail Blazers 117-104 in a wild, momentum-swinging game on Tuesday night. It was the 1,000th regular-season win in Heat history. But on this night, the only history anyone will remember was what James accomplished. “I’m at a loss for words,” James said in a televised post-game interview. “Like I say over and over, I know the history of the game. I know how many unbelievable players who came through the ranks, who paved the way for me and my teammates. And for me to be in the record books by myself with such a stat — any stat — it’s big-time.” Dwyane Wade added 24 points for Miami,belstaff mojave, which wasted a pair of 14-point leads — then put the game away with a 14-0 run in the final minutes. Ray Allen added 14 for Miami. Damian Lillard had a game-high 33 points for Portland, which got 29 from LaMarcus Aldridge and 20 from Wesley Matthews. Just like the Heat, the Blazers also saw a 14-point lead slip away in the game, and then simply got shut down late by a stretch of airtight Miami defence. “That was typical Miami Heat stuff,” Lillard said. “Transition, finishing strong around the rim,Canada Income Inequality StatsCan Cuts Will Harm Ability To Understand Wage Gap, Observers Fear, and LeBron picking defences apart.” James has made 66 of his past 92 shots, over the past six games — and is an absurd 60 for 80,Craig and Marc Kielburger Star Power The Last Canadian to Accept the Nobel Peace, or 75%, in his last 188 minutes of court time. According to the Heat, only Adrian Dantley and Moses Malone had done the 30-point, 60% streak in five straight outings before James joined their club. Now he stands alone. “That’s why he is who he is,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “The best player in the game.” Added Wade: “Obviously he is doing something that is amazing and special,harley davidson men's road warrior jacket.”  And on a night where the teams took turns putting together big runs, it was the Heat who had the last rally — ultimately, the last laugh as well. With the game tied at 99-all, James drove baseline on former Cleveland teammate Sasha Pavlovic for a two-handed slam that he punctuated with a long scream. The Heat immediately responded. Matthews made a three-pointer on the next Portland possession to give the Trail Blazers their last lead. Miami scored the next 14 points, and when James got loose for a dunk with 2:38 remaining,Bcpoli, history was his — the first stretch of six straight 30-point games on 60% or better shooting in each outing. “He played a very good basketball game,” Spoelstra deadpanned afterward. “That’s all you’re going to get out of me right now. He competes. He loves to compete. He loves close games. &#8230; And he’s leading us, not just with his talent.”

‘Every home is damaged’ Canadian troops begin ma
 A troop of sweating, pale-faced Canadian field engineers, axes, saws and shovels in hand, marched Sunday past homes and businesses that had been ripped apart near the north end of Panay Island when Super Typhoon Haiyan struck on Nov. 8. In the intense tropical heat of the Philippine winter, the work party, dispatched from New Brunswick’s 4 Engineer Support Regiment, were to build latrines for some of the tens of thousands of Filipinos left homeless by one of the largest storms to ever emerge from the typhoon-prone western Pacific. We have 40,000 people here and the power is out everywhere Panay did not see anything like the death and catastrophic destruction that occurred 300 kilometres to the east in places such as Tacloban when the super typhoon first made land fall on Samar and then Leyte. But it was still a Category 4 cyclone when it reached Pontevedra, with sustained winds of about 250 kilometres per hour. To get an idea of Haiyan’s punch, it may be worth recalling that when Hurricane Katrina walloped New Orleans eight years ago it came ashore as a Category 3 cyclone with sustained winds of about 205 km/h. And unlike most North American homes, which are fairly solid, Filipinos tend to live in flimsy, homemade shanties with walls and floors fashioned from bamboo and plywood, with roofs of corrugated tin or of matted palm leaves. “It sounded like five hours of hell, with intense pounding caused by the huge amounts of rain and the ripping of large sheets of metal caused by the wind,” said 40-year-old George Tediong, who rode out the tempest with 70 families in a small, half-open to the elements basketball stadium. A few kilometres up the road, in the barangay (village) of Panay, the local tourism director,Belstaff new Preston, Edel del Casmel, provided an impromptu briefing for 4 Engineer Support Regiment troop commander, Lt. James Morrison, of Toronto and CFB Gagetown, and his medic,Belstaff Mojave leather jacket, Cpl. Mike Gadway of North Bay and CFB Petawawa. “We have 40,000 people here and the power is out everywhere,” del Casmel explained. “According to our assessment, every home is damaged. But we were lucky to only have 11 casualties.” The official death count from the storm is now about 3,600, with as many two million Filipinos homeless. About 200 people were killed and more than half a million lost their homes in Canada’s area of responsibility,belstaff olivers mount leather, which covers the province of Capiz, where Pontevedra is situated,Belstaff Redford Jacket, and the northern half of the neighbouring province of Iloilo. Looking at some of the fairly basic gear the field engineers were using to clear a huge palm tree that was tangled with power lines and threatening to close the road, del Casmel admiringly added, “In our whole province we have nothing like your equipment.” While Morrison asked del Casmel about places in Panay where damage was interfering with power lines and traffic, Gadway quizzed him about the barangay’s limited medical facilities and how much,Hand That Man a Mop, Sister B, or rather, how little, safe drinking water was available. Meanwhile, across the street from these discussions, Sgt. Pascal Johanny, 32, of Shediac, N.B., and CFB Gagetown, directed half a dozen of his soldiers as they felled the tree. “I absolutely liked my combat tours in Afghanistan. Although this is completely different, I like this kind of work,J.J. McCullough Media Bites The Secret Not-So-Bori, too,” Johanny said. “It is a lot more rewarding to be helping people like this. As field engineers we have the heavy equipment, the brute strength and the technical know-how to make a difference.” On what was only the second day out-and-about for the first wave of 200 Canadians deploying with the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART), two groups of field engineers worked in Panay and Pontevedra, as did a medical team. “For me,Who Votes For a Mayor Like Ro, this is a dream come true. I joined to help in times of war and to provide humanitarian care,” said Capt. Stephanie Smith, 31, of Oromocto,Belstaff Maple prof Jacket, N.B. The nurse from CFB Gagetown spent part of the day treating at Dona Victoria Cortes Dais Memorial School, where 500 people who lost their homes now are living. Before returning to the Canadian encampment at a sports stadium in the city of Roxas, she amused a group of homeless children by blowing bubbles in the air. More help is on the way from Canada. A water purification plant that can produce 50,000 litres of potable water from almost any source of contaminated water, should arrive in the next 48 hours. So are three Griffon helicopters, whose dispatch from Canada was announced in Ottawa on Saturday. The flight crews will be from CFB Edmonton. The choppers, which were used during the last years of Canada’s war in Afghanistan, are to fly reconnaissance missions and land with food, water and technical and medical help at isolated hill communities and offshore islands that bore the brunt of the storm on Panay and have received little or no outside help yet. “Their (Filipino officials) big priority is to get the electrical grid back online,” Morrison said. “But that is going to take up to several months. The [Canadians] short-term goal is to start delivering water and to enable NGOs to start to bring in food and medical necessities. “What we have been doing today is help the local power authority to clear away trees that will cause more damage to the electrical grid and to clear routes to these small towns. It is going to be a very busy job. We are going to be out every day,” Morrison said.
