Portland Trail Blazers 2015-2016 News and Updates
2014-2015 Season
4/29/15 - Things are looking rough for the Portland Trail Blazers. They were unable to win the first three games of the playoffs. Even when they returned to their home court, they struggled. The Trail Blazers managed to get an impressive 109 points, but it was still not enough and the Memphis Grizzlies took the win with 115. Being only one loss away from elimination, Portland managed to rally in their next game and make an incredible comeback, with 31 points in the final quarter, closing a seven point gap and surpassing the Grizzlies by another seven points. With this win, the Trail Blazers still have hope at advancing to the next round. To do so, they will need to win all three of the upcoming games.

4/23/15 - In an usually turn of events, the Portland Trail Blazers are ranked immediately above the Memphis Grizzlies, who have more victories than the Trail Blazers. That small difference can really be felt by Portland, who have lost both of their matchups with the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. If they want to see the second round, the Trail Blazers need to make their move now. Between the two games, they have fallen 29 points behind. None of that will matter, however, if they are able to make a stand when the playoffs come to Portland's home court. You can attend to see if they are able to turn the tide of the postseason, with tickets starting at $56 for the April 25th game.
4/17/15 - The Portland Trailblazers have finished their final game for the regular season and they now sit in the number four seed in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Trail Blazers have lost their last four games, most recently against the Dallas Mavericks, who occupy the number seven seed. Fans would certainly be more confident if Portland could enter the postseason at the top of their game, but they cannot be counted out yet. While their first opponents, the Memphis Grizzlies, are ranked lower than them, in a strange turn of events, Portland actually has fewer wins than the Grizzlies. It looks like the Trail Blazers might be the underdogs in the April 19th matchup, so they will have to play hard to win it. Be sure to catch this exciting game.
4/8/15 - The Portland Trail Blazers were unable to turn their two wins into a three game winning streak when they lost 106-96 against the Nets on April 6th. This game was a makeup for a previously scheduled game postponed due to inclement weather in January. LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, and Chris Karman remained at home to rest some injuries to ensure they are healthy and ready for the game against Minnesota on Wednesday. Damian Lillard had 36 points, and Meyers Leonard added another 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. The Trail Blazers came back from a 22-point deficit in the fourth quarter, brining it to just six points before the Nets drew ahead once again. Tickets to the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday remain available, with prices starting at $34.
3/31/15 - With a 109-86 victory over the Suns, the Portland Trail Blazers have extended their current winning streak to four games. Although the first half ended with Portland ahead by just a few points, they came back and dominated the second half, building a 31 point lead that allowed them to easily take the victory. The win was a team effort, with twelve players adding points to the scoreboard. With this win, the Trail Blazers have secured a place in the playoffs, but the Trail Blazers have no plans to coast through the rest of the season and will be looking to add another win to their record on Wednesday, April 1, when they play the Clippers at home. Tickets are still available, with prices starting at $24.
3/27/15 - The Portland Trail Blazers have added a loss to their current slump. The 122-108 loss to the Warriors brought their losing streak to five games. LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum joined Wesley Matthews on the injured list, and Damian Lilliard stepped up to score 29 points. The Trail Blazers had an early lead, but the Warriors stayed close. A run by the Warriors in the third quarter gave them a significant lead, and the Trail Blazers were unable to catch up. Despite the losses, the Trail Blazers remain on the top of the Northwest Division with a five game lead over the second place Oklahoma City. The team will look to break their current downward trend when they face the Jazz on March 25th, with tickets starting at $13.
3/20/15 - The question on every Portland Trail Blazers fan's mind is whether they will be able to perform without Wesley Matthews, especially with the playoffs quickly approaching. After his injury, the Trail Blazers were able to win three consecutive games, all with over 100 points, but more recently Portland has been struggling on the court. First, they lost 97-105 against the Washington Wizards, then they came up short against the Miami Heat. It is still too early to say with certainty how Portland will cope in the playoffs, but any optimism will not be unfounded. We will get our first taste of playoff-level play on March 24th when they take on the top team in the league, the Golden State Warriors. Tickets for that promising game start at only $35.
3/12/15 - Despite picking up a decisive win over rival Dallas, the Portland Trail Blazers suffered a devastating setback on Thursday night, in the form of a season-ending injury to standout Wesley Matthews. The fifth-year shooting guard tore his Achilles tendon taking a quick step on an ordinary cut to the basket, collapsing near the three-point line as trainers rushed to his attention. His long-distance scoring was surely missed two nights later, as the Blazers came up short versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, 121-113 on the road. Portland will look for the recently-acquired Aaron Afflalo to step up in Matthews' absence as they enter into a tough week with games versus Houston and Detroit, plus Toronto on the road. Pistons vs. Blazers, Friday night at the Rose Garden—limited seats are available from $33!
3/6/15 - The playoff race in the Western Conference seems to get tighter each week, and the Portland Trail Blazers continue to fight to maintain their position among the top three. The Blazers have rattled off four straight wins over Western rivals, including a narrow victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. Trailing 85-75 with four minutes remaining, Portland rallied to force overtime, where Nic Batum took control for his team. The French-born forward assisted on three consecutive alley-oops before making a key block on J.J. Redick, capping off his overtime performance with a three-point dagger to seal the deal. The Trail Blazers take on Dallas on Thursday night before traveling to Minnesota to face Kevin Garnett and the Timberwolves on Saturday. Tickets for the Target Center are still available starting at $36!
2/27/15 - Wesley Matthews of the Portland Trail Blazers scored 31 points in the game against the San Antonio Spurs. LaMarcus Aldridge had 13 rebounds and Nicolas Batum had nine assists. The Trail Blazers took the win at 111-95, giving the Spurs their fourth straight loss. After two previous losses for the Trail Blazers, the win was a welcome change. The Trail Blazers face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday (2/27), and the Thunder are on fire. They'll be a tough team to beat. The Trail Blazers come back to the Moda Center at the Rose Garden on Thursday (3/5) to host the Dallas Mavericks. Tickets start at $19. Enjoy a great evening of fast paced fun and excitement with two great teams who are sure to make the playoffs.
2/20/15 - In the 2015 NBA trade deadline, the Portland Trail Blazers made quite a few changes to their roster. Thomas Robinson, Will Barton, and Victor Claver went to the Denver Nuggets, but the Trail Blazers picked up Arron Afflalo and Alonzo Gee, both excellent athletes. Afflalo offers play-off experience for the offense, and Gee is a great defensive player. With the Trail Blazers in play-off contention, they need the depth that Afflalo and Gee bring to their team. On Sunday (2/22), the Memphis Grizzlies come to town. Tickets start $36. Wednesday (2/25) brings the San Antonio Spurs to the Moda Center at the Rose Garden. You can get tickets starting at $21. If you need even more basketball action, get tickets to the Oklahoma City Thunder game on Friday (2/27).
2/12/15 - After struggling through their roughest month of the season, the Portland Trail Blazers appear to be righting the ship, winning three of their last four games. The Blazers' lone loss in February came on the road to a talented Dallas Mavericks team, 111-101 in overtime. However, Portland bounced back the very next night with an impressive victory over James Harden and the Rockets in Houston, 109-98. Even sweeter for Portland fans, point guard Damian Lillard was named as a member of the Western Conference All Stars, following Blake Griffin's withdrawal due to injury. Lillard and his Blazers will take on the Los Angeles Lakers at home on Wednesday night before the All Star break begins, and a select number of tickets are still available from $25!
2/4/15 - The last two weeks have been rough for the Portland Trail Blazers, who have not managed consecutive wins since having a four-game streak snapped on January 11th. LaMarcus Aldridge continues to play well despite sustaining a thumb injury two weeks ago, posting over 27 points and 9 rebounds per game over the Blazers' last ten. Meanwhile, Damian Lillard continues to register All Star-quality numbers, despite being passed over for the NBA's marquee game in New York this year. Portland will welcome the return of Robin Lopez this week, after missing nearly two months with a broken right hand. He should be back in action for Thursday's tilt with the Phoenix Suns at the Rose Garden, where a small handful of seats are still available starting at $19. They'll be gone soon, though, so don't delay!
1/27/15 - The Portland Trail Blazers have been struggling in the last two weeks, losing five of their last six games. Things were looking bleak with only a single recent win, which was only by four small points. Everyone was expecting another loss when they took on the Washington Wizards, who dominated the early season, on Jan. 24th. After falling way behind in the first two quarters, the Trail Blazers were able to pull together and achieve a last minute upset. Scoring nine and eight more points than their opponents in the third and final quarter respectively, they were able to edge out a slim seven-point victory. Their next game against the Brooklyn Nets was postponed, but they will play the Cleveland Cavaliers in an away game on Jan. 30th.
1/22/15 - After losing three straight games for the first time all season, the Portland Trail Blazers were ready to start winning again. Portland defeated the Sacramento Kings at home on Monday night, 98-94, improving their record to 31-11 for the year. Damian Lillard led the Blazers with 22 points, six rebounds, and five assists, as he led his team back from a 12-point fourth quarter deficit. Portland shot only 39 percent from the floor and were out-rebounded 53-35, but they committed eight fewer turnovers and grabbed 16 steals as a team to ultimately come away with the narrow victory. Next up, they will travel to Phoenix to face Goran Dragic and the Suns on Wednesday night. You can get in the game for as low as $19, but seats are going quickly, so don't wait!
1/15/15 - The Trail Blazers have rattled off four straight victories, winning eight of their last nine games, and 13 of their last 15, dating back to early December. Back-to-back wins over the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers have put the Blazers just a game behind the Golden State Warriors for first place overall in the NBA, although their competition in the week upcoming will be considerably tougher. After hosting Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers, Portland will take to the road for games versus fellow Western powers Memphis and San Antonio. Limited tickets for Wednesday night's game with the Clips are still available, with seats selling for as low as $19, so come on out to the Rose Garden and support your Portland Trail Blazers!
1/6/15 - They opened 2015 with a loss to the sizzling Atlanta Hawks, but the Portland Trail Blazers quickly bounced back with a win over the L.A. Lakers and will look to notch a few more victories as they close out a seven-game homestand at the Rose Garden. The Blazers remain a game and a half behind the Golden State Warriors for the lead in the super-tough Western Conference, but have built a small cushion over the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks by going 8-2 in their last ten games. They will host the NBA's two teams from Florida to finish out the week, starting with the Miami Heat on Thursday night. You can be a part of the action with Razorgator—a select number of tickets are still available from $28, so act now!
1/2/15 - There are few teams in the NBA as hot as the Portland Trail Blazers, who capped off 2014 with an overtime victory over the Eastern Conference-leading Toronto Raptors to push their active win streak to four games. LaMarcus Aldridge led the Blazers to the comeback victory, scoring seven of his 23 points in the fourth quarter to help erase a Toronto lead and force the extra session. Star point guard Damian Lillard finished with 26 points and nine assists in the win, including several key plays in overtime that helped seal the game for Portland. The Blazers will get four days of rest before resuming their seven-game homestand, as they host the surprising Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. Get in the game with Razorgator—a select number of seats are available starting at $48.
12/26/14 - The Portland Trailblazers continued their excellent start to the 2014-15 NBA season with a 115-111 overtime victory on the road versus the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, improving their record to 23-7 overall. The Blazers had a five-game winning streak snapped by the Houston Rockets on Monday, but bounced back to strengthen their hold on second-place in the brutal Western Conference. They remain one game ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies, and two behind the league-leading Golden State Warriors. LaMarcus Aldridge continues to pace Portland with nearly 23 points and 11 boards per game, as he and all-star guard Damian Lillard look to build on last year's surprising playoff run. The Trailblazers will finish out the year with three home games versus Eastern foes, starting with the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. Get in the game with Razorgator—limited seats are still available starting at $55, so act now!
12/18/14 - The Portland Trail Blazers captured a victory of 108-95 against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, but the win came at a cost. Robin Lopez, starting center, injured his right hand when he hit his hand on Boris Diaw's head. It was confirmed that his hand had been broken and Lopez would have to sit out a game for the first time in almost three years. Lopez averages at 7.3 rebounds and 9.8 points in 25 games, and played in every game for the Blazers last season. The Blazers currently stand at 19-6 in the West. The team hopes to take another victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night, even without the help of Lopez. The next game will be Friday night at their home court, Moda Center at the Rose Garden. Tickets start at just $19.
12/11/14 - The Portland Trail Blazers were shocked on Wednesday, as the team lost 82-90 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After falling behind early, the Blazers couldn't overcome a relentless Andrew Wiggins, who had 23 points and 10 rebounds in the outing. The Blazers' Damien Lillard also had 23 points, but LaMarcus Aldridge went scoreless in the first half and managed just 10 points in the second. Despite losing, the Blazers still lead their division and are third in the Western Conference. The Blazers will be on the road for their next two games, travelling to Chicago on Friday and to Indiana Saturday, but they will return home on Monday the 13th to host the 16-6 San Antonio Spurs. Tickets for this matchup of championship contenders are on sale now and start at just $19.
12/5/14 - The Portland Trail Blazers continue their strong season, with a record of 14-4 so far this season, providing them with a number 1 ranking in the Northwest Division. Their latest game ended in a win for them, as they barely nudged out the Denver Nuggets 105-103. The Trail Blazers started the game out strong, with a quick 9-3 lead over the Nuggets. However, the Nuggets soon caught up for a back and forth, with the Trail Blazers once again taking control in the 4th quarter. However, the final victory came down to the final seconds of the game. The winning shot came from Robin Lopez with only 1.3 seconds remaining. The Trail Blazers face the Indiana Pacers on Thursday, December 4 at home next. Tickets are available starting at $12.
11/24/14 - One of the better teams in the NBA right now is the Portland Trail Blazers. They sport an 8-3 record, and things went perfect for them in their last game, facing the New Orleans Pelicans. They got the win with a final score of 102-93. In their win, Damian Lillard had a terrific game, scoring 24 points with 7 assists. He found his teammates time and time again, and his distribution is a great asset that the Blazers will need to take advantage of for the rest of the season. They are hoping to do big things this year, and next up for them is a competitive game against the Celtics, which takes place this Sunday, November 23, 2014. Tickets can be bought right now for a low price of $16.
11/17/14 - The Portland Trail Blazers landed their fourth win in a row on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets. With a final score of 87-97, Portland was ahead every step of the way. This shining victory puts them at 7-3, where they are still firmly in the top position for their division. In fact, they are the only team in the Northwest Division with a positive win-loss ratio. On Sunday the 9th, however, Trail Blazers' small forward, Nicolas Batum injured his knee. He hasn't returned to the court yet, but many suspect he will make his big return on Monday the 17th in the home game against the New Orleans Pelicans. If you would like to potentially see Nicolas tear it up on the court again, tickets are available for only $15.
11/14/14 - On Saturday, the Portland Trail Blazers unfortunately lost against the Clippers, bringing their total to 3-3. The very next day, Portland was fighting to keep a positive win-loss ratio against the Denver Nuggets. They were able to build an early lead, ahead by nine points at the end of the first quarter. Then their strong defense was able to maintain the lead until the third and fourth quarters where they were able to expand their lead for a final score of 100-116. Unfortunately, however, Nicolas Batum was injured in the final minutes of the game. It's not yet known how this will affect his involvement in future games. The Trail Blazer's next game is on Tuesday against the Hornets and then they will face the Nuggets again on Wednesday.
11/7/14 - With just three games into the season, the Portland Trail Blazers are 1st in the Northwest Division. They won their opening game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, then lost the next 2. This coming weekend, they play the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday. The Trail Blazers come home on Sunday to meet the Denver Nuggets, and then on Tuesday the 11th, they play the Charlotte Hornets. The Trail Blazers have a lot of potential in their point guard Damian Lillard, who is shooting 47.3% in clutch situations, making him number 4th in the league. In his rookie year, the 2012-2013 season, LIllard was named Rookie of the Year, and he has trained with experts over the summer. He will be the one to watch.
10/27/14 - With a dynamic duo in LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard, the Portland Trail Blazers are ready for the NBA's new season. The Blazers won 54 games last season; can they improve on that record this season?
10/23/14 - He's locked in for two more seasons on his rookie contract. The Portland Trail Blazers announced that they picked up the fourth-year option on All-Star guard Damian Lillard's contract, ensuring he will be with the Blazers through 2016.
8/20/14 - The 2014-2015 Portland Trail Blazers schedule was just announced and it is lined with can't-miss bouts from wall to wall! Portland opens up regular season play at home on Oct. 29 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The early part of the season brings tons of rivalry games like the Golden State Warriors (Nov. 2), LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers (Nov. 4), Dallas Mavericks (Nov. 6), defending champion San Antonio Spurs (Dec 15), Houston Rockets (Dec. 22) and the Los Angeles Lakers (Jan. 5). Don't miss the same starting 5 that broke numerous franchise records last year and gave us NBA Playoff semifinals action for the first time since 2000 and lock down your Portland Trail Blazers tickets today!
The Portland Trail Blazers are coming off of a stellar season in which they finished 54-28 on the year, scored a return to the playoffs and upset Houston in the first round. The All-Star duo of Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge were spectacular, with LMA dropping 46 points and 18 rebounds in a single game against the Rockets. Portland exited the postseason in Round 2, dispatched by the title-winning San Antonio Spurs. Can the Blazers step it up in the 2014-2015 season and take it all the way to the top of the Wild Wild West and beyond?
Coming into the 2014-2015 season, Portland owed their two picks and could not add any players through the draft. Instead, they vied for talent via free agency and trades. The Blazers picked up Steve Blake for some veteran influence and a shot blocker in Chris Kaman, in a deal with the Lakers. See if Terry Stott's talented building blocks can create something great in the Western Conference this season with Portland Trail Blazers tickets!
2013-2014 Season
5/14/14 - They avoided the sweep, but the Portland Trail Blazers are still staring into a 3 games to 1 abyss in their second round series with San Antonio. The Blazers used a big push in the third and fourth quarters, leading by as many as 20 points, to prevent a Spurs sweep, with a 103-92 victory on May 12. Portland got strong performances from Damian Lillard, who recorded 25 points, five assists and four rebounds; LaMarcus Aldridge, who had 19 points; and Nicolas Batum, who picked up a double-double of 14 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists, a steal and a block in the win. Also making a key contribution off the bench was guard Will Barton, who added 17 points and six rebounds to the mix.
5/9/14 - As their second round series with West top seed San Antonio shifts to the Moda Center in Portland, the Portland Trail Blazers find themselves staring at a two games to none deficit, having lost Games 1 and 2 in San Antonio by a combined 41 points. In Game 2, despite losing 114-97, the Blazers got a top performance from small forward Nicolas Batum, who led the team with 21 points, along with nine rebounds, a pair of assists and a steal; Damian Lillard, who provided the series-clinching heroics last round, found himself held to 19 points, five boards and five assists in Game 2, and LaMarcus Aldridge collected a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds.
4/30/14 - In this series, it's been all Rip City. The Portland Trail Blazers have used outstanding performances (and a little luck) to dominate their series with fourth seed Houston, leading by three games to one going into Game 5. Standouts include LaMarcus Aldridge's 43-point/eight rebound/three block explosion in Game 2; Damian Lillard's 30 points in the lone loss (Game 3) for the Blazers; and most recently in Game 4, four Blazers – Aldridge (29 points), Nicolas Batum (25 points), Lillard (23 points) and Wesley Matthews (21 points) combining forces to put Houston in a two game hole. Still, the series has been closely fought, with three of the four games played through April 27 going into overtime. The Blazers will wear a jersey patch going forward to honor the memory of former coach Dr. Jack Ramsay, who led the Blazers to their lone NBA title in 1977.
4/17/14 - With an overtime victory against Golden State on April 13, the Portland Trail Blazers cleared some standings space between themselves and the Warriors, and set up a likely first-round playoff date with Houston. The Blazers relied heavily on their starting five in this game, as just three reserves saw court time – but one of those reserves, Mo Williams, came up in a big way with 18 points. LaMarcus Aldridge had a huge game for the Blazers, scoring 26 points, pulling down seven boards, with three steals and a pair of assists; Wesley Matthews poured in 24, with three rebounds, three assist and a steal. Nicolas Batum had a double-double of 18 points and a dozen rebounds, along with five assists; while Damian Lillard chipped in 13 points, five assists, three boards, a steal and a block.
4/9/14 - With their 100-94 win over visiting New Orleans on April 6, the Portland Trail Blazers booked their place in the NBA postseason; However, the Oregonian newspaper reports that the Blazers are "not satisfied," and describing the mood in the locker room as "more business-as-usual than celebratory." The Blazers got a number of standout performances in their clinching game, starting with LaMarcus Aldridge's 25 points, 18 rebounds, and four blocks; and Nicolas Batum, who added 16 points and 12 boards. Wesley Matthews, with 21 points, and Damian Lillard, with 20 (along with six rebounds, five assists and three steals) joined Aldridge at the 20-point plateau.
4/1/14 - The Portland Trail Blazers returned home to the Moda Center this past weekend, after a four games in five days road trip into the Eastern Conference. The Blazers split those four games, falling to Miami and Orlando, then bouncing back with road wins over Atlanta and Chicago before the weekend's home win over West playoff contender Memphis, 105-98, a win that the Portland Tribune newspaper described as "easier-than-it-sounds." LaMarcus Aldridge, whom USA Today recently said, "is exactly what the Trail Blazers needed," proved the newspaper's point with a strong 28-point offensive performance, and Mo Williams came off the bench to contribute 17 points; guards Wesley Matthews (15 points) and Damian Lillard (13 points) also provided key contributions. Robin Lopez was a force in the paint, pulling down five offensive boards, five defensive boards, and blocking three shots.
3/25/14 - Since hitting the road for contests against Eastern Conference teams from the Southeast and Central Divisions, the Portland Trail Blazers have dropped their first two, a 30 point blowout at the hands of Charlotte, then followed that up with a 93-91 squeaker at Miami. Against the defending world champs, LaMarcus Aldridge was out with a back contusion, but four starters ended up with scoring in double figures; Damian Lillard led those with 19 points, followed by Wesley Matthews' 15. Nicolas Batum contributed a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. As for Aldridge, team officials say he will get a practice in before returning to the lineup.
3/18/14 - As the season grows shorter, so do opportunities for the Portland Trail Blazers to put ground between themselves and the teams behind them in the playoff picture, and the Blazers squandered one such opportunity this past weekend, dropping a 113-112 heartbreaker to Golden State at the Moda Center. Blazers starters Damian Lillard and Nicolas Batum did their best to pull the Blazers through; Lillard collected 26 points and seven assists in the loss, while Batum had a double-double, garnering 23 points and 14 rebounds to go along with five assists, three steals and a block in the loss. Center Robin Lopez also added a double-double of his own with 14 points and 10 boards.
3/13/14 - Since heading on the road last week, the Portland Trail Blazers have dropped their first two contests on this swing through the Southwest Division, losing to Dallas 103-98 and then in overtime to Houston 118-113. The Blazers had no answer for the Rockets' smaller lineup, as guards James Harden, Jeremy Lin and Patrick Beverley proved to be the keys to Houston's victory. Still, a trio of Blazers – LaMarcus Aldridge (28), Wesley Matthews (26) and Damian Lillard (21) – each had over 20 points; while Aldridge (12), Nicolas Batum (12) and Robin Lopez (11) cleaned the glass effectively. Lopez added five blocked shots as well for the Blazers.
3/5/14 - Ouch. This one had to sting a little. The Portland Trail Blazers gave up a last second alley-oop play as time expired to fall to the cellar-dweller L.A. Lakers, 107-106. The Blazers had four of their five starters record double digit scoring efforts, including 21 from forward LaMarcus Aldridge and 20 from Damian Lillard; two other Blazers chalked up double-figure rebound counts – 16 (nine of them off the offensive glass) for center Robin Lopez, and 15 (including 10 defensive boards) for Nicolas Batum. The loss broke a five game winning streak for Portland.
2/26/14 - All Star representative Damian Lillard continued his hot scoring hand in the Portland Trail Blazers' dismantling of the Minnesota Timberwolves last weekend. Lillard hung a game high 32 points on the T'wolves, along with a pair of rebounds and five assists. Thomas Robinson came off the bench for the Blazers and cleared 18 rebounds – 11 defensive and seven offensive – along with a pair of blocks, while Nicholas Batum also had a good night defensively too, with 10 rebounds and three blocked shots.
2/21/14 - Portland's young star Damian Lillard had quite a busy weekend in New Orleans during last weekend's NBA All Star festivities. As a starter in the BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge, Lillard had 13 points and five boards in Team Hill's winning effort. On Saturday night, he highlighted the Skills Competition with Trey Burke for the win; he also participated in the three-point shooting competition and dunk contests. Finally, as a reserve in Sunday's All Star Game, Lillard hit for nine points in as many minutes of court time.
2/6/14 - Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard is set to take part in the NBA's dunk contest over All Star weekend in New Orleans. Lillard may also take part in the 3-point shooting contest as part of the contests on Saturday night, which would make him the first ever to take part in all five All Star events – the Rising Stars Challenge; the Skills Challenge; the 3-point and dunk contests; and the All Star Game itself, in which Lillard has been selected as a reserve.
1/31/14 - Highest scoring offense in the league? That may hold true for the Portland Trail Blazers, who sit tied with San Antonio for the second best win-loss record in the Western Conference, but don't tell that to the Memphis Grizzlies, who held the Blazers scoreless for the first two minutes and 20 seconds of a recent win at the Moda Center in Portland. The Blazers lead the NBA not only in points per game average (108.4), but rebounds per game (46.6) as well.
1/20/14 - The Portland Trail Blazers are looking great, sitting atop the Northwest Division with a 31-9 record as the highest scoring team in the league (fronted by
Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge
), and second in the Western Conference—just one game behind the
San Antonio Spurs
, who they beat last week 109-100. Portland is currently enjoying five consecutive victories, looking to extend their winning momentum tonight over the
Houston Rockets
and against the
OKC Thunder
this Tuesday. OKC is close to stealing the top spot in the division, so the match on Jan 21 is pivotal and you can score tickets for just $19! The Blazers will return home after a long four-game road trip to face the
Denver Nuggets
at the Rose Quarter. Portland tickets start at an affordable $19 on Jan 23, followed by fellow Northwest opponents, the
Minnesota Timberwolves
, Saturday Jan 25—get into this hot match for $47. Buy Portland Trail Blazers tickets now and join them on their road to playoffs this season!
The average price for Trail Blazers tickets at the newly renamed
Moda Center
this coming season is $98. After opening the season with two road games in Phoenix and Denver, the Blazers 11/2 home opener against the defending Western Conference Champion Spurs is averaging $118. The most expensive game at the former Rose Garden in 2013-14 is the 12/28 match-up against the NBA Champion
Miami Heat
, averaging $253. With an average price of $191, the 3/3 game against the Lakers is the second-most expensive. Rounding out the Blazers' five most expensive home games are the Clippers on 12/26, Nets on 2/26, and Thunder on $211.
The Portland Trail Blazers continue to rebuild around 2-time All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge and 2013 Rookie of the Year Damian Lillard. Second-year coach Terry Stotts looks to improve on the team's 2012-13 record of 33-40 and challenge for a playoff berth. With the additions of former top-5 pick Thomas Robinson and rookie 2013 first round draft pick CJ McCollum, the team managed to add young talent to its already promising core. Veteran free agent big-man Robin Lopez and sharpshooter Dorel Wright should also be important pieces this season. Amidst speculation surrounding Aldridge's discontent in Portland, the Blazers may need to show
improvement early in the season
to keep Aldridge happy and off the trading block.

If only the flowers were a little bigger!
Five brilliant pink petals emerge from an inconspicuous green calyx. Each vibrant blossom contains about 10-12 prominent stamens, each with a bright yellow anther. The style is divided at its summit into a number of branches, usually five or six, and these radiate outward, forming a sort of star-like pattern. This beautiful little flower is hard to miss when fully open, and that occurs on sunny days, as the blooms don't like cloudy or rainy weather. Once the flowers are open, though, the petals don't last long, and after about one day the petals and the rest of the flower sort of sag away into a little mess, this eventually drying up and basically disappearing. What's left would be a rounded capsule, plump and green, and only about half an inch long. The round capsule opens in an unusual way: instead of breaking open down the sides along lines (like most capsules), this has the top half separate cleanly, like a small, pointed lid. (Or like the pointy cap of a tiny garden elf.) There are plenty of really small, black seeds inside, and once the lid is off the capsule, the seeds sprinkle out quickly. These seeds are readily spread, being so small, and it is for this reason that the plants get around easily.
This species has a wide distribution in the United States, found commonly from Arizona to the Carolinas, and sneaking into Tennessee and Virginia. It's an annual, blooming all summer and into the fall, spreading by those little seeds, and could reasonably be expected to eventually end up almost everywhere in the warmer parts of the world. When it first spouts, it produces bright green leaves that are more or less flat. As the plants get bigger, the leaves produced are almost cylindrical, bright green, and a bit pointed at the tips. The stems may be flat on the ground, or somewhat elevated, thus forming patches.
This plant has about 10 close relatives in North America, and there are plenty of additional ones elsewhere in the world. Some have yellow flowers rather than pink ones. Some of them are popular as a food source, and the fresh leaves are frequently used raw and salads, or cooked in soups. You might notice a similarity between the flower pictured here, and with those of certain hanging-basket plants you can buy at a garden shop. This is no accident. Our little weed has several related cultivated varieties, but the cultivars always have bigger flowers. And more of them.
So, our beautiful little weed will have to be happy showing off its gorgeous flowers way down on the ground, several feet below most people's eye level. Most people would only pay attention to it while pulling it out of the garden and flinging it onto the compost. But the flowers really are pretty. You'll need a hand lens to see them closely, as this flower will never make it into a corsage. (Photo by Linda Lee.)

LAS VEGAS Johny Hendricks has a very simple plan for upsetting Georges St-Pierre and earning the UFC's welterweight title. The challenger plans on walking through the champ's vaunted jab before launching a counterattack he thinks will put "GSP" to sleep.
Hendricks (15-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and St-Pierre (24-2 MMA, 18-2 UFC) meet in the main event of UFC 167, which takes place Nov. 16 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena and airs on pay-per-view. It's a fight for which Hendricks has openly campaigned for years but wasn't absolutely sure he would get until Anderson Silva's knockout loss earlier this month ruled out the possibility of a Silva vs. St-Pierre superfight."I don't want to take 'GSP' down," Hendricks said at Monday's UFC World Tour 2013 stop in Las Vegas. "I want to lay him out. That's all I want to do. That's what the fans want to see, and I know I have the power in both hands to do it."
Just as Weidman was supremely confident heading into his upset win over Silva, so, too, does Hendricks seem to believe it's his destiny to win the belt. A four-time Division I All-American wrestler, Hendricks' wrestling skills would seem to be just what is needed against St-Pierre, who's mastered the art of wrestling in terms of MMA application. Additionally, Hendricks has been blessed with knockout power, as a 46-second win over Martin Kampmann and 12-second stoppage of Jon Fitch can certainly attest."I was a little nervous until the Anderson-Chris Weidman fight happened because you never know what's going to happen," Hendricks told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "If Anderson wins, does the superfight still happen? So he kind of helped me out, and now it's actually going to happen. I can't wait. I'm so excited."
While St-Pierre's jab is an incredible weapon, as well, Hendricks thinks it will pale in comparison to his power punches.
Like Weidman, who shocked the world with his knockout win over Silva, Hendricks believes his attitude will prove another strength. He respects St-Pierre, a man who is certain to be a UFC Hall of Famer and may very well be the greatest welterweight of all time. But "Bigg Rigg" has no fear of the French-Canadian champ."I will bite on my mouthpiece and eat a jab to land a right or a left hand on his jaw line," Hendricks said. "That's the difference. Punch me in the face, I'll punch you twice as hard.
"When I'm in there, my goal is to break someone's jaw. Let them forget who they are that night. Let them wake up the next morning and go, 'What the hell happened?' That's my goal every fight."
"Give 'em respect because they have the belt, but he's just a person," Hendricks said of St-Pierre. "I can beat anybody at any given time, and that's sort of the mentality that you've got to have when you're facing somebody with the belt.
"If he's going to sit there and do that jab, watch. I'll bite on the mouthpiece. I'll eat one to throw my left or right hand all day long."

I know people complain a lot about Directv CSRs. I have myself. But, on average, I think they've done the best job of any company I've ever had to call about responding to my concerns.
I agree. Have always had pleasant experiences. Called to activate my new HR34 the other day and there was zero hold time, and the guy who I spoke with in the Access Card department to do the activation was great and clearly knew what he was doing.

I'll agree for the most part, even though I'm no longer a DirecTV customer. I only had one clueless CSR in over four years. He had no idea what SonicTap was, so I just said Thank you and Goodbye, called again and got an answer to my question.

Second call was for broken hard drive on a DVR. I spent over an hour to prove the drive was bad and I needed a replacement DVR. I even read off the hard drive error code in the service menu. I hung up after an hour and found another CSR who replaced the DVR right away after reading the code off. The original CSR had me run through the tests in the service menu over and over.
Last call was for a 200 dollar charge for a non returned DVR. Even though using the tracking number showed they received and signed for the DVR less than 8 days after shipping the label to me. Since no one at direct TV has access to fedex.com I could not prove they signed for it. It took an hour to find a supervisor who believed me and gave me a 200 dollar credit. Even though he could not access fedex.com.

HAMBURG, NY – Hilbert College wasn't able to hold their lead in either of the AMCC base games today and dropped a 12-8 and 16-9 double header to D'Youville College. In both games, D'Youville rallied in the top of the seventh inning to improve to 5-7 AMCC, and 7-15 overall.
Prior to the night cap, seniors Chris Hoak, Ryan Ilardi and Garrett Pauly were honored for their years of service to the baseball program.
Hilbert opened the day with a 2-1 lead after three innings. D'Youville scored three quick runs in the top of the fourth and added one run the next two innings, while Hilbert progressively added runs those three innings to take a 8-6 lead into the top of the seventh inning. Three different Spartans hit doubles to push runners around the bags and pad their score by six runs. The Hawks finished the bottom of the inning with a single, a walk and three outs.
Cody Ashford, Paul Wujek and Justin Hulbert each finished with 2 hits and Garrett Pauly earned a double bagger. Tyler Shaw led the Hawks with 3 RBI.
In the nightcap, D'Youville jumped out to an 8-1 lead after two innings. Hilbert stormed back and Joe Pernick hit the team's first home run this year in the 4th. The Hawks added eight more runs by the bottom of the fourth to take a 9-8 lead. Neither team made it home in the 5th, but D'Youville snuck one more run on the board in the sixth to force a tie, 9-9. Brent Gibbs hit a three-run home run along with two other team mates striking for doubles to pad 7 runs to D'Youville's total. Hilbert came up empty in the bottom of the seventh falling 16-9.
Pernick and Tom Irish finished with three hits and Pernick led with 3 RBIs.
The Hawks have a few days off before they travel to Cazenovia College April 26th for a non-conference double header beginning at 2pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations.

Pounds: Fighting hungerWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | firstname.lastname@example.com
When Toledo Free Press and several partners — Columbia Gas of Ohio, Hollywood Casino Toledo, Wells Fargo Advisors, WNWO and 1370 WSPD — launched Free From Hunger 2013, we of course knew there was no imminent end to the problem. If anything, the agencies we have helped — Food For Thought, Feed Lucas County Children and Cherry Street Mission Ministries — are busier than ever. But in terms of raising awareness and much-needed funds, the year's campaign is a success.
In addition to the $15,000 cash that has been raised and distributed to these agencies through the Toledo Community Foundation, several events kept the spotlight on hunger in our hometown. Free From Hunger 2013 played a role in such fundraising events as the concert with "Bachelor" Bob Guiney, the tremendously successful Jam City peanut butter-and-jelly event, Food Fight 419, the Hunger Awareness Family Festival, the upcoming "Anchorman 2" reception with WTOL-11 anchor Jerry Anderson and others.
As we enter the holiday season, we will feature more about the Cherry Street Mission. As stated on its website, "Cherry Street provides a variety of services to roughly 400 people a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We serve any person in need of food, clothing, shelter, and supportive services who comes to our doors. No one is turned away."
That is a major responsibility that requires nonstop effort and action. As many of us prepare for the bounty and festivities of the holiday season, it is imperative that we help our neighbors. Cherry Street Mission does not receive any United Way or government funds for its programs. There are many ways you can help:
- Make a monetary donation.
- Mail in a donation form.
- Donate online.
- Become a Pillar of Hope monthly giver.
- Volunteer your time and talents.
- Donate items such as food and clothing.
- Donate specific items on the mission's wish list.
- Donate other items such as cash, stocks, bonds, automobiles, boats, real estate, collectibles, bequests, life insurance, charitable trusts and donor-advised funds.
We thank our partners in Free From Hunger 2013. And while we are pleased to have helped in some small way, we also recognize this is a long-term battle that will require many more movements, many more partners and many more understanding and giving hearts.
Thomas F. Pounds is president and publisher of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A 30-year-old Aiken man was detained on 12 sex charges against a child on Friday, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
Ralphael Lee Robertson, of Bent Arrow Road, was charged with eight counts of committing a lewd act upon a child and four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor. He was placed in the Aiken County detention center, where he remained on Monday afternoon.
According to a sheriff's report, the incident was originally reported to authorities on Nov. 23, 2011.
The complainant told officers she received information from a male witness as to the alleged crime. The female victim "confided in (the witness) that the listed subject has showed his private parts to the victim and that the subject had performed oral sex on the victim," the report stated.
The case has been forwarded to juvenile investigations, according to the report.
Robertson has multiple driving and drug violations on his record that goes back to 2003, as well as charges of forgery, resisting arrest, leaving the scene of an accident and providing false information, according to the detention center.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard. He is a graduate of Clemson University and hails from Williston.

I think I became a landscape architect—and now a farmer and florist—because my Dad grew peonies. He grew lots of other things in our yard, including apples trees, a pumpkin patch between our house and the golf course behind us, and raspberries on trellises, (none of which was appreciated by the stuffy neighborhood design committee). But what got my little girl heart beating were the big fluffy larger-than-life blooms of a flower that grows so easily here in the Pacific Northwest. Their scent practically follows you down the streets, so full are front yards here with peonies in June.
Now, in early July, you can often still get peonies in the continental United States. You might have to baby some buds from your own garden in the refrigerator, bringing them out to bloom during the hot days of July, or if you're a bride who absolutely must have peonies, you can have them shipped from Alaska and other colder climates where they bloom later in the season.
Marigold and Mint is an organic farm, a retail shop, and a studio.

1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Online Diploma Programs
Many U.S. colleges and vocational schools offer technical diplomas and certificates, which are shorter programs than college degrees. The definitions of "diploma" and "certificate" vary greatly among programs, schools, and accrediting bodies, but, in general, students need more credits in a specialized area of study to earn a diploma than to earn a certificate. Diplomas are usually offered in job-related fields such as computer science, automotive services, graphic design, construction, and office skills, rather than in academic fields.

CONCORD, N.C. – World Karting Association officials have nearly finalized the 2013 RLV Tuned Exhaust Products Gold Cup Series schedule of events. While one date has not yet been determined, the upcoming year's schedule is close enough to announce.
The Gold Cup will run a five-race national tour for the second consecutive year.
The series has returned to a 4-cycle-only tour. The X-30 TaG classes and Komet Sportsman have been removed from the 2013 class lineup. The 2-cycle classes' replacements are the Pro Gas divisions that were announced via WKA's Pit Board on November 7.
WKA is proud to announce that the California-based RLV Tuned Exhaust Products has re-signed as the series sponsor. The 2013 season will mark RLV's second straight year as the Gold Cup title sponsor.
The only event date that is not finalized is the 2013 season opener at the 103rd Street Sports Complex in Jacksonville, Florida. The series will kick off at Jacksonville in March for the third consecutive year. The weekend in March has not been determined; however, the event will most likely run the first or second weekend of March.
A Pit Board release will be posted once the Jacksonville date is finalized with North Florida Kart Club officials.
Round two will come Memorial Day weekend – May 24-26 – at Michiana Raceway Park near South Bend, Indiana. The Memorial Day weekend MRP show will mark the second straight year the Gold Cup has visited the South Bend facility.
The Gold Cup will return to Camden, Ohio's G&J Kartway for round three July 5-7. The national series makes its return to southwest Ohio after a year hiatus.
Round four will serve as the 2013 Gold Cup Grand Nationals August 23-25 at Pittsburgh International Race Complex in Wampum, Pennsylvania.
The fifth and final round of the series will see the Gold Cup make a return to Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway for the first time since 2004. The series will visit The Rock's historic infield sprint track October 4-6.

BURGAW, NC (WWAY) — A Burgaw Middle School teacher has been suspended. The Pender County Sheriff's Office says eighth grade teacher Megan Mantooth is charged with cyberstalking a student.
Mantooth was suspended with pay last week after the mother of one of her students came forward claiming Mantooth was trying to pick up her son.
Elizabeth Graham, the mother of the 13-year-old student, filed a report saying there were more than 200 inappropriate text messages sent to her son. Graham says the over-the-phone relationship between teacher and student began June 9.
The teen gave his phone to his parents. That's when they discovered the text messages.
One text Graham says is from Mantooth say, "When I do finally get to see you, I want you to wrap your arms around me and lift me up and spin me around…Will you do that?"
"She got to the point that she wanted to know… she said she couldn't go a day without seeing him and that she wanted to see him now. Her heart was beating five hundred times a minute. I think she was developing a relationship with him," Graham said.
Graham says other parents have also come forward about Mantooth having inappropriate conversations with their children.
The number that the text messages were sent from is the same number WWAY reached Mantooth on this afternoon.
Mantooth did answer and was offered a chance to give her side of the story. She said she would call back after talking with her husband, but she has not yet returned that call.

Hyperhidrosis (hi-pur-hi-DROE-sis) is excessive sweating that occurs even when the temperature isn't hot and you're not exercising. In some people who have hyperhidrosis, the sweat literally drips off their hands.
Hyperhidrosis usually affects the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and underarms. Besides disrupting normal daily activities, hyperhidrosis can cause social anxiety or embarrassment.
One of the first options for treatment involves using prescription-strength antiperspirants on the affected areas. In severe cases, your doctor may suggest surgery either to remove the sweat glands or to disconnect the nerves responsible for the overproduction of sweat.
Most people sweat when they exercise or exert themselves, are in a hot environment, or are nervous, anxious or under stress. The excessive sweating experienced with hyperhidrosis far exceeds such normal sweating.
Hyperhidrosis usually affects the hands, feet, underarms and sometimes the face. Rarely, the entire body is affected. The excessive sweat may soak through clothes or drip off your hands. Episodes usually occur at least once a week without an obvious reason.
See your doctor if:
Sweating is your body's mechanism to cool itself. Your nervous system automatically triggers your sweat glands when your body temperature rises. Sweating also normally occurs, especially on your palms, when you're nervous.
In hyperhidrosis, the nerves responsible for triggering your sweat glands become overactive and call for more perspiration even when it's not needed. The problem worsens if you're under stress or nervous.
The type of hyperhidrosis that occurs primarily in your palms and soles may have a genetic component, because it sometimes clusters in families. If you have excessive sweating all over your body, it may be caused by an underlying health factor, such as:
Complications of hyperhidrosis include:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor. He or she may refer you to a specialist in skin diseases (dermatologist). In some cases, doctors specializing in the treatment of conditions affecting the nervous system (neurologist) may be consulted.
Before your appointment, you might want to write a list that answers the following questions:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
During your appointment, your doctor will ask about your medical history and conduct a physical exam. If your symptoms are obvious, it may be relatively easy for your doctor to diagnose hyperhidrosis.
Your doctor may order blood or urine tests to determine if the excessive sweating is caused by another medical condition, such as an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
During this test, your skin is coated with a powder that changes color when it gets wet. The test begins in a room heated to a comfortable temperature, and then you enter a heating cabinet that brings your core temperature up to 100.4 F (38 C). Most people who have hyperhidrosis sweat enough to make the powder turn purple before they go into the heating cabinet.
Hyperhidrosis treatment varies, depending on the severity of the problem. In most cases, your doctor will want to try conservative treatments before suggesting more-invasive options such as surgery.
Other types of hyperhidrosis treatments may include:
In addition to over-the-counter antiperspirants, the following suggestions may help you reduce sweating and the associated body odor:
Hyperhidrosis can be distressing. You may have trouble working or enjoying recreational activities because of wet hands or feet or wet stains on clothing. You might feel embarrassed or anxious about your symptoms and become withdrawn or self-consciousness. You may be frustrated or upset by other people's reactions.
Besides talking to your doctor, you may want to talk to a counselor or medical social worker. Or you may find it helpful to talk to other people with hyperhidrosis. Go online to connect with other people living with the condition.

Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
Several treatment options are available for hyperhidrosis. Your doctor will work with you to find the least invasive treatment that relieves symptoms. Nonsurgical treatments for hyperhidrosis may include:
Surgery is generally reserved for severe cases of hyperhidrosis, when more-conservative treatments have failed. At Mayo Clinic, surgery is most successful in treating hand and underarm hyperhidrosis. If excessive sweating occurs just in your armpits, removing the sweat glands there may help. At Mayo Clinic, this can be accomplished via liposuction through very small incisions.
In severe cases of hand hyperhidrosis, your doctor might suggest a procedure that cuts, burns or clamps the nerves that control sweating in your hands. In some cases, this procedure triggers excessive sweating in other areas of your body. Mayo surgeons have developed surgical techniques that greatly reduce the occurrence of this bothersome side effect.
Many Mayo doctors perform hyperhidrosis nerve surgeries through just one small incision, typically measuring less than 1/2 inch (1 centimeter). This can shorten recovery time and reduce postoperative pain.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.

Creationism & Evolution in Jewish Thought
We Also Recommend
The scientific theory of evolution seems to contradict the biblical account of Creation. While the Bible claims that God created the world in six days, culminating with the creation of humanity, the theory of evolution asserts that humanity evolved over billions of years. How do Jews approach this contradiction? Like any seeming contradiction between science and Jewish tradition, there are several options.
Is It a Contradiction?
Some Jews, including many of the ultra-Orthodox, reject evolutionary theory. They see the Bible as embodying eternal truths. Thus, some of the ultra-Orthodox are unwilling to reinterpret it in order to reconcile it with a scientific theory that, in their view, may be disproved in another hundred years. Some even go so far as to ban Jewish books on evolution.
For example, in 2005, a few prominent ultra-Orthodox rabbis banned Natan Slifkin's books on science and the Torah, which seem to support evolutionary theory (Slifkin himself is also Orthodox). Those who ban Slifkin's books see his arguments as challenging Jewish religious authority and undermining Jewish faith.
Other Jews reject the biblical account of creation because it contradicts evolutionary theory. They see the Bible as an ancient human document that cannot provide a helpful description of the world's beginnings for a person living in the twentieth century. They look to modern science to explain the origin of the world and reject religious explanations.
For example, Steven Pinker, a prominent evolutionary psychologist and Jewish atheist, rejects religious explanations of the origins of the world. He argues that the theory of natural selection best explains the origins of complex life, and no God could possibly have created a world that has so many faults in its design.
A Variety of Approaches, Even among the Orthodox
Many Jews, however, reject the either/or approach and strive to integrate the biblical account with the findings of modern science. Some Orthodox Jewish scientists read evolutionary theory into the Bible, arguing that the Bible and modern scientific theory describe the same process using different language. Most famously, Gerald Schroeder, an Israeli physicist, uses Einstein's theory of relativity to explain how God's six 24-hour days of creation are equivalent to fifteen billion years of scientific evolution.

All around this is a really great and simple way to get a hearty healthy meal. I used a really good quality salsa and it was pretty tasty.
Beef & Bean Chile Verde
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Chile Verde, usually a slow-cooked stew of pork, jalapeños and tomatillos, becomes an easy weeknight meal with quick-cooking ground beef and store-bought green salsa. Make it a Meal: Serve with fresh cilantro, red onion and Monterey Jack. Add your favorite hot sauce.
93 Reviews for Beef & Bean Chile Verde
Followed the recipe exactly except added a half a cup of Bush's black beans with the full can of Pinto Beans. OMG ! Better double the recipe because after your family tastes this there will not be enough. 5 stars !
My husband and I love this recipe, we top it with a little reduced fat Mexican cheese and avocado, and add ghost pepper salsa for extra heat. It's so fast and easy, is perfect for a weeknight dinner, and is tasty left over as well.
I loved the sweet and spiciness the green salsa gave this dish. We added some of the Trader Joe's tomato-less corn salsa for a little extra texture and flavor. AMAZING!! I will be making this again and again.
This is a great recipe. It's so easy to change and make it your own. For example, I changed the amount of garlic to 3 cloves. I made it ahead of time and the flavors melded together beautifully. Did not have to spend time cooking when my guests arrived. Used Pace medium Salsa which is a perfect replacement for canned tomatoes that have a lot of sugar. Great for diabetics.
