In this Article
How was PCR (polymerase chain reaction) discovered?
PCR was invented by Kary Mullis. At the time he thought up PCR in 1983, Mullis was working in Emeryville, California for Cetus, one of the first biotechnology companies. There, he was charged with making short chains of DNA for other scientists. Mullis has written that he conceived of PCR while cruising along the Pacific Coast Highway 128 one night on his motorcycle. He was playing in his mind with a new way of analyzing changes (mutations) in DNA when he realized that he had instead invented a method of amplifying any DNA region. Mullis has said that before his motorcycle trip was over, he was already savoring the prospects of a Nobel Prize. He shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry with Michael Smith in 1993.
As Mullis has written in the Scientific American: "Beginning with a single molecule of the genetic material DNA, the PCR can generate 100 billion similar molecules in an afternoon. The reaction is easy to execute. It requires no more than a test tube, a few simple reagents, and a source of heat."
What is RT PCR?
RT-PCR (Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) is a highly sensitive technique for the detection and quantitation of mRNA (messenger RNA). The technique consists of two parts:
RT-PCR has been used to measure viral load with HIV and may also be used with other RNA viruses such as measles and mumps.

Continuing our series shedding light on creatures in peril and how you can help, let's take a look at Bat Boxes from EarthLinks! You may already know that single- and double-chamber Bat Boxes are available for purchase in our Online Shop, but do you know why they are so important?
As anyone who has spent much time outdoors swatting at mosquitoes can tell you, bats are extremely beneficial to any ecosystem. Insectivorous bats are primary predators of night-flying insects, such as mosquitoes and various pests that harm crops and garden vegetables. For example, a single brown bat can eat more than 1,000 mosquito-sized insects in just one hour! By decreasing the mosquito population, it decreases the chances of spreading West Nile virus. Also, bat droppings (called guano) are valuable as a rich, natural fertilizer — good news for our friends with a garden!
Clearly, bats are important. So why should we worry about protecting them? One reason is that bats are presently in danger from a disease called white-nose syndrome, which began in New York state and is moving west. Thousands of bats have died from this disease already, and there is no known cause or cure. Experts agree that if white-nose syndrome reaches Colorado and its 21 native species of bats, we will be devastated. Rick Adams, a biologist at the University of Northern Colorado, stated in a recent Denver Post article that white nose syndrome in Colorado will mean that insect populations will multiply and local farmers will see a costly onslaught of pests.
One way we can help to protect bats is by providing safe, secure habitat. A single-chamber Bat Box from EarthLinks is capable of housing up to 50 bats. A double-chamber Bat Box not only doubles the number of bats it holds (up to 100!), it also offers a space for nursing bats to care for their young. Bat Boxes from EarthLinks are made from non-pressure-treated exterior plywood and cedar boards — both of which were chosen for their weather-proofing capacity. When possible, our Bat Boxes are made in large part from reclaimed wood.
To learn more about bats and the dangers they face, check out Bat Conservation International. And don't forget that Bat Boxes are available for purchase directly from EarthLinks in the Online Shop!

We would like to get the right kind of bat house for our area, and are not sure what type of bat or bats we have. We live in Penrose, Colorado.
We do have a bat (or more) in the entry way to our front door. We have not seen it, or them, but droppings are evident on the porch.
Please advise what type of bat house you can recommend for mounting on a pole. Warm regards, mary
Hi, Mary. Either of our styles of Bat Boxes — Single Chamber or Double Chamber — would work for your bats. If you put the bat box up, then install a one-way exit valve in whatever opening the bats are using to enter and exit your house, the bats won't be able to get back in and will search for shelter. With the bat box already installed, the bats should find it and move in. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Bully to Terrorize Xbox 360, WiiDeveloper and publisher Rockstar Games today announced Bully: Scholarship Edition for Xbox 360 and Wii. The game will be comprised of the original PlayStation 2 version of Bully, along with some additional unspecified content.
Bully is a third-person action adventure title that tells the story of a 15-year-old boy attending a fictional boarding school. Players take part in minigames and various challenges, as well as story-based missions that advance the surprisingly deep tale.
Developed by Rockstar Vancouver, the game was initially met with a spate of controversy due to the publisher's history of violent content and the then-recent Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Hot Coffee mod/fiasco. Bully was eventually rated T for Teen by the ESRB.
Rockstar expects Bully: Scholarship Edition to ship to stores this winter.

Faces of El Camino is a unique project idea merging art, journalism and two personal dreams into one journey walked both physically, spiritually and metaphorically – and all these together created a greater dream, to walk the famous pilgrimage route of El Camino de Santiago, and document the journey in the form of photography, with special interest in the people on The Way. Pilgrims, travelers, tourists, a priest from the church of a small village, a tavern keeper, a merchant along the road, or a shepherd passing by – they are the Faces of El Camino, the people who make this journey unique, powerful and alive.
For this project, which connects my plan of walking the Camino and my dream of becoming a professional photographer now has its own dedicated project page here in my website! Go check it out!

The Bahamas boast more than 700 islands, hospitable people, and year-round great weather. The only thing that was missing for Marcus Sands, Jr. was Northampton Community College. Last fall, when the opportunity to attend NCC literally fell into his lap, Sands voluntarily packed his bags and headed stateside – and hasn't looked back since.
"How I got to NCC is an interesting story," says Sands, who is studying hospitality management. "Former [retired] professor of psychology Craig Kilpatrick and his wife were vacationing at a home where I was working for a property management company. Through my connection with that rental property and its owner, I was introduced to the Kilpatricks, who talked to me a lot about the hospitality program here. I went to the website and started reading about NCC, and right away I saw that it was not an ordinary community college."
It's safe to say that nothing has been 'ordinary' for Sands since his academic journey here began. The Kilpatricks opened up their home to him for his first semester, he qualified for a scholarship to help with tuition, he joined several clubs, started a job on campus, and is already looking forward to eventually attending a university in New York City. The Big Apple beckons, but not before Sands has made his mark on the school that he says changed everything for him.
"It blew my mind that here, at a community college, there are so many things students can get involved with," says Sands, who is currently serving as the vice president of Phi Theta Kappa (Honor Society), as member of Student Senate, and as the president of the Hospitality Management Club. "Northampton is just the total experience of academics combined with experiences that prepare you for your career and for the world outside."
Sands is a people person by nature and thoroughly enjoys working in a field that will prepare him for a career in the hotel industry, which is what he was doing before his chance meeting with the Kilpatricks. He spent two years between high school and college getting experience under his belt, working not only for the property management firm but also for a Bahamian tourism office and in real estate. The course work here is allowing him to gain additional skills in event planning and in culinary, which he knows will allow him to provide a well-rounded customer service experience.
"One of the things that I really advocate is customer service. That's what really drew me to the industry," says Sands. "There are a lot of opportunities out there and overall it's just the right fit for me."
With travel being one of the perks of the field, Sands has a big dream of one day not only working for a cruise line, but eventually owning his own – one he can use to bring people to see the islands he still calls home. But for now, Sands is focused on continuing to find his path at NCC, and doesn't forget the lessons taught to him by everyone he's encountered on his journey here.
"My professors and peers have the same vision that I do. It's all about looking at the bigger picture – the entire school – and providing more opportunities for networking, for leadership, and giving the students what they want. Everyone I've come across here has helped me sharpen my skills but they've also made me a better individual."

When you feel your career isn't working for you anymore, many job experts say it's time for a change. But is going back to school an option? "Having my high school diploma only, I was really kind of in a box," Returning adult student Terri Thompson said. "And I was limited to what kind of job opportunities were available even with experience."That's why Thompson says she decided to go back to school. The single mother enrolled at Georgia Perimeter College, where she went on to graduate with an associate's degree. She says she expects to graduate from Georgia State University with a bachelor's degree in little more than a year."I'm studying computer information systems and finance," Thompson said. And she's not alone. According to Georgia State vice provost and chief enrollment officer Timothy Renick, more than 100,000 students who were enrolled at GSU this spring were over the age of 25.Georgia State University is one of several metro Atlanta universities that welcomes non-traditional students. The total number of adults going back to school has only increased in recent years as the employment outlook has taken a turn for the worse."The adults that return usually have a goal in mind," Renick said. "They either have a job-- in which case an advanced degree might give them a raise or give them the opportunity for a promotion-- or they're looking to switch careers."You almost feel like you've got that youth back again," Thompson said. "And, you're like, 'You know what? I can do this and on top of that I've got real-life experience.'"As Thompson left her career as a realtor, she says she felt hesitant to take the big plunge. But, she says it surprised her to find a variety of financial aid resources available to help pay for her classes and books. And she says being an example to her 17-year-old daughter Madison has been the greatest reward."Now she sees it and she can actually know that she can accomplish whatever is that she puts her mind to. And she can compete her Bachelors, Master's PhD--and that's very exciting for us," Thompson said.

DIFC Supports Dubai International Film Festival
Wed Dec 05,2007
Dubai, December 5, 2007: The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) today announced that the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the world's fastest growing financial centre, has become the festival's sole 'Supported By' sponsor.
His Excellency Dr Omar Bin Sulaiman, Governor of the DIFC commented: "Our ambition is for DIFC to highlight Dubai's reputation, not just as a hub for business and finance, but as a centre for excellence and innovation across the board. Whilst the DIFC is driving the growth of the region's financial sector, it is also stimulating Dubai's expansion into other areas, such as art and culture. By supporting DIFF, we are supporting the development of regional talent."
DIFF Chairman Abdulhamid Juma said: "We are pleased to enjoy the support of the Dubai International Financial Centre, which is far-sighted enough to see the importance of culture and the arts to Dubai's development as a true regional hub. Our areas of activity may seem far removed, but in fact are united in purpose: to raise Dubai's reputation globally and to continue to guide its development as a community with much to offer both residents and visitors alike."
DIFF 2007 will run from December 9 to 16, and will see top films and talent from the West, East and the Arab world gather in Dubai.

About DIFF:
The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) was launched in December 2004 under the theme: Bridging Cultures. Meeting Minds.
DIFF is held under the honorary Chairmanship of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum. DIFF is a not-for-profit cultural event, presented and organised by the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone Authority.

"Bridging Cultures. Meeting Minds," has been hailed by all as a unique and relevant theme to promote better understanding and mutual respect between different communities and countries.
Since its inception, DIFF has become an important meeting point for international and regional filmmakers and industry professionals setting the foundation for potential future collaborations.
The past three editions of DIFF have presented more than 250 films, documentaries and shorts from more than 48 countries.
In 2006 the festival took place at the magnificent Madinat Jumeirah resort. As a further commitment of DIFF's endeavours to facilitate greater opportunities for regional Arab talent, the Muhr Awards was launched. Another first for DIFF in 2006 was the setting up of the Industry Office, which was established with a view to exclusively assist the needs of all registered delegates.
The fourth edition of the Dubai International Film Festival will take place from December 9-16 and will present the best of Arab and international cinema in the feature film, shorts and documentary formats. Building on the success of last year, DIFF 2007 will also host the Muhr Awards and the Industry Office with new features.

They stayed up all night with Misha, trying to save her life.
Kendra Munden and four other people were there to help her took turns caring for the emaciated horse, wrapping her in blankets and sleeping bags to fend off the 2-degree winter night. After losing her job, Munden had dedicated her life to taking in horses and saving them, and she wasn't going to lose Misha if she didn't have to.
But she didn't make it.
"I take it hard," Munden said, standing in the middle of snowy pens filled with other horses. "I know it's not my fault, but I blame myself."
When the economy sank in 2009 and Munden lost her job selling construction supplies, her husband encouraged her to pursue a dream she'd had for a while: a horse rescue, where she could save and rehabilitate the animals the way other places save cats and dogs. Munden, a horse owner since she was 15, went with it. A few months later, she converted her 5-acre Herriman property, at 7300 W. 13496 South, into MadaresGold Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation Center.
Since they started, Munden's found new homes for about 100 horses — like Hero, who arrived beaten and bloody from head to toe two years ago — and have lost 20, like Misha. Other rescues might call that a bad ratio, Munden said, "but we take the worst of the worst. I don't want to put down other rescues, but I'm not going to turn away any horse."
The way she and her husband see it, if they can save them they'll try, and if the horse doesn't make it, at least they passed away with someone caring for them.
Every day, Munden tends to the horses. Sometimes her husband James can help, but he's gone much of the time at his electrician job in Davis County, and once in a while there's a volunteer or two to help feed the horses.
"But it mostly boils down to me," Munden said.
It's not obvious from the narrow road, but right behind Munden's one-story wooden house, 24 horses are spread out in pens and stalls. They come from all over northern Utah. Sometimes owners fall on hard times and don't have the means to take care of the animal, so they give them up to the rescue. That was the case for Krissi Roberts, who didn't know beforehand a horse she bought was blind, requiring more skill than Roberts has to ride. So she gave the horse up to Munden, who found it a new home. Roberts was so taken by the rescue, she's stayed involved as a volunteer ever since.
But most of the horses arrive starved, dehydrated or abused, given up by an owner or seized by a court. Some of them have only one eye from beatings they received from their previous owners.
And then they show up at MadaresGold. It seems they can tell right away they've arrived in a safe place, Munden said, where someone does have the love and means to care for them. Once they're rehabilitated, Munden finds them a new home.
Most of them hear of the rescue through word of mouth or, like Kelli McFadden of West Jordan, through social media. A horse owner her whole life, she'd never seen the dark side of it until she heard of the rescue on Facebook.
Eighteen of the rescue's current horses all came from one owner, a hoarder, who voluntarily gave up eight of them before the court forced her to give up the rest to the rescue two months ago. They were starved and beaten, and one needed surgery to remove a crushed eye. Because of ongoing legal proceedings, Munden declined to say where their previous home was, but they've never taken in so many horses from one place before.
"The most before was eight at one time from a previous owner," Munden's husband James said.
McFadden's heart broke for them. She and her husband, who already volunteer at the rescue and adopted one horse before, adopted one of the youngest from the hoarder — Vegas, a paint horse. Vegas' mother had also been seized from the property, and died not long after from damage to her hooves. But McFadden has high hopes for her baby at its new home.
"She has come a long way. She was really scared when she got there. She was only two or three months old. You could tell she had never been handled," McFadden said. "To see one horse come in and scared to death and have no energy, and afraid of everything, to coming around and seeing their personalities, it's like an adopted child [who was] abused and seeing them come around want to be around you…that's the rewarding part."
But it's a reward that comes at a cost for Munden.
She pays $2,000 a month on average just for hay, and then there is the dental work and veterinary bills. She feels lucky to have Lyle Barbour at South Mountain Equine as her veterinarian, who's been with her from the start, finding her discounts and understanding that sometimes the payments take time.
The rescue survives on donations, auctions and fundraisers. But they're not always enough to cover costs, and Munden makes up the difference herself. "It gets frustrating," she said, but she's hopeful for the annual fundraiser this summer that recently obtained Ken Garff West Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram as a sponsor.
Ideally, Munden would like enough money to hire two full-time employees and to build a heated barn. Munden's looking for a grant writer to help her find that funding. If she had such a barn for Misha, she would have survived the night.
Until then, she has a two-stall barn, a lot of pens, a few loyal volunteers and a love for horses.
"It's not a five-star hotel, but they're well taken care of," Munden said.

Film Screening and Panel Discussion
Nat Turner: A Troublesome Property analyzes Nat Turner's slave rebellion of 1831 and its aftermath in American memory. The film explores the many interpretations of the event, including William Styron's controversial 1967 Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Confessions of Nat Turner and the deep racial divisions that it exposed. What is the distinction between a freedom fighter and a terrorist? The debate over the meaning of Nat Turner has been at the heart of race relations in the United States for the past 178 years.
A Panel discussion will follow the screening featuring Charles Burnett, Frank Christopher, and Kenneth S. Greenberg.
CHARLES BURNETT is a MacArthur Award-winning American filmmaker. Major films include Killer of Sheep, The Glass Shield, To Sleep with Anger, NightJohn, The Wedding, The Annihilation of Fish, and Namibia: The Struggle for Liberation. He is co-writer and director of Nat Turner: A Troublesome Property.
FRANK CHRISTOPHER is an award-winning producer, director, writer, and editor whose major film credits include Fei Hu: The Story of the Flying Tigers, In the Name of the People, and the PBS series Remaking American Medicine. He is currently at work on a film about the explorer Samuel de Champlain. He co-wrote and co-produced Nat Turner: A Troublesome Property.
KENNETH S. GREENBERG, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Suffolk University and distinguished professor of history, has authored Honor and Slavery, as well as Masters and Statesmen. He is the editor of Nat Turner: A Slave Rebellion in History and Memory and of Thomas R. Gray's original The Confessions of Nat Turner. He co-wrote and co-produced Nat Turner: A Troublesome Property.
Reservations will be accepted starting February 4 at 617-720-7600.
This film is presented in conjunction with The Ford Hall Forum, a partner of Suffolk University and the nation's oldest free public lecture series.

Ryan Giggs scores for 23rd straight season!
You know the token "old guy" who shows up at your pick-up basketball games and still keeps up with everyone half his age? Soccer's "old guy" is Ryan Giggs, and he's not just playing pick-up, he's still competing in the top soccer league in the world!
At a shade over 39 years old, Ryan Giggs improved on his own record today by scoring his first Premier League goal of the season, marking the 23rd straight season in which he's scored at least once. It also makes Giggs the only player to have scored at least 1 goal in every single Premier League season since its inception in 1992-93.
There's just one word for this kind of feat: legendary.

NARRATOR: In 1918, O'Keeffe moved from Texas to New York, where she painted 59th St. Studio. The painting invites us to peer through a loosely-shaped doorframe between rooms. A soft light comes in through an elongated window—its oddly beautiful, glowing color suggesting an urban, street-lit dusk. The sharply pointed white and colored planes declare the painting's modernity, introducing a new cosmopolitan edge.O'Keeffe's starting point here is clearly architecture—not nature, as it has been in the works we have seen so far. Yet the overall form of the painting resembles ones we've seen earlier in this exhibition. Light and colored planes suggest a dynamic movement around the painting's edges, while the dark interior has a warm, enveloping quality. The painting doesn't tell us much about the physical place, but it gives us hints about her attitude towards that place.O'Keeffe lived and worked in this East 59th Street studio, which belonged to Alfred Stieglitz's niece. The gallerist gave O'Keeffe a year's financial assistance so that she could devote all of her energy to painting, without having to teach. During that year, their relationship deepened and Stieglitz moved into the studio. O'Keeffe and Stieglitz were married in 1924.

The freezing temps are frustrating enough for homeowners who lose plants. Imagine having an entire orange grove at risk. That's the grim reality for some farmers in the valley.
Row after row of oranges could be lost when all is said and done.
They're running water, hoping the steam will raise temps under the trees by just a few degrees. But just a few hours of freezing temps is enough to kill them all.
We talked to one worker today who said this could've been one of the best seasons in decades.
"The saddest thing about this, is up until this little cold spell, the oranges were in the most perfect shape I've ever seen in 21 years. They were absolutely beautiful, so then to get this, that's like getting attacked by the devil… this is really sad," said J.D. Cronk, Citrus Heights Farms.
In one orange, farmers found ice crystals had formed. Growers say they won't know the full extent of the damage until the oranges thaw.

Good news for fans of Young the Giant : frontman Sameer Gadhia has revealed that the band will soon be headed into the studio to begin recording the follow-up to their 2010 self-titled debut album.
"The album writing process is finished now," he tells ABC News Radio. "It was a long process and…at the end of it we were really satisfied with everything that we have. We're finally done with pre-production and we're getting into the studio in like two weeks so really, really excited to get it out there."
The singer adds that the new tracks will feature a fair amount of musical experimentation, with the guys adding some new instruments into the mix. "We've been starting to use a little bit more…keyboard and synth, but we're not a keyboard and synth band and we don't ever want to be," he explains. "For us, the most important thing is that we stick to what we do best and that's being a standard rock group. We're trying to push the boundaries of that but still incorporate some really, really subtle synthesizer stuff."
Gadhia notes that he expects the group's sophomore album to hit stores sometime around the beginning of 2014.

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
To be honest the one true reason I did not care for the Forwood goodbye scene was not even because I am invested in them anymore...I thought both Trevino and Candice did a horrible job with Trevino looking like this is just some meaningless thing happening and Candice's sobbing looked more like "sob sob sob, I am trying to get a tear out of my self" and it just looked like they both really did not care about putting in any effort..
Plus, last time since I ever teared up at any CW tv show was way back when this happened:
That was the goal but it failed since Tyler was focused on saving people we weren't invested in. You could admire him but still be bored with the story
Well,it felt like Caroline was his mummy in a way...the only thing that I might liked about him was that eventhough he was dump,he wasn't Elena's toy -soldier..Maybe because he was on his own hybrid planet..but still he was the only one who said that Elena's life wasn't more valuable than other people's lifes(4xo6)
Yeah. I felt really disconnected from the Forwood scenes at first. But now I'm noticing that Caroline and Tyler's goodbye really was very tearful, and as heartfelt as it was meant to be.
I'm also realizing that the Klaroline scenes were potentially a bit misleading. We know how Klaus feels, and we assume we know how Caroline feels, but do we really?

Nvidia's 2011 key developments
The graphics king began its serious push into mobile computing last year and showed ambitions of becoming much more than a graphics chip maker.
Our price estimate for Nvidia stands at $20.91, implying a premium of about 50% to the market price.
See our complete analysis for Nvidia
Nvidia's ambitions expanded beyond graphics
Nvidia is primarily known for its GPU technology, and its graphics cards are widely used in desktops and notebooks all over the world. However, with the announcement of Project Denver and the launch of the world's first dual-core mobile application processors Tegra 2 early in 2011, Nvidia made it clear that it has ambitions to expand well beyond graphics.
Project Denver refers to Nvidia's project under which it will build high-performance ARM architecture based CPU cores that will support regular desktop and notebook PCs as well as servers and super computers (see Can Project Denver Justify Nvidia's Stock Run?). These CPUs could be available around 2013.
Nvidia aimed Tegra 2 at the fast growing smartphone and tablet market and recently launched Tegra 3. This launch has accelerated Nvidia's growth in mobile computing chip revenues. In addition to this, Nvidia bought baseband processor maker Icera, in its quest of further expanding its product portfolio (see article Nvidia Acquires Icera as Baseband Chipset Market Heats Up).
Launch of APUs by Intel and AMD made Nvidia's integrated GPU business obsolete
Intel and AMD underwent a significant transformation in 2011 in their microprocessor business when they began offering Sandy Bridge and Llano APU processors respectively. These processors are a hybrid of a CPU and a GPU, and essentially make the requirement of integrated graphics chips and entry level graphics cards obsolete. As a result, Nvidia's integrated graphics business began to see rapid declines in 2011, and we expect this business to vanish in a year or two.
Initially there was some concern around whether these new APUs will affect Nvidia's discrete graphics business as well. However, from the company's statement in its quarterly earnings release, it was clear that the impact was not significant as discrete GPU attach rates didn't go down (see Nvidia Growth Looks Good Despite Sandy Bridge).
While the growth of Android has helped Nvidia in pushing out more of its smartphone chips to compete against Apple (AAPL), growth in tablets has been a different story. Tablets are cannibalizing PCs and Apple still dominates this segment with its own processors. In 2012, Nvidia will look to gain a greater share in tablet market to offset the potential loss of sales from PC sales slowdown, if it happens.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Jim Boylan era is starting well for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Brandon Jennings had 30 points and eight assists, Ersan Ilyasova added a season-high 27 points and 14 rebounds, and the Bucks beat the Portland Trail Blazers 110-104 Saturday night to win for the fifth time in seven games since Boylan was promoted to replace Scott Skiles as coach.
"I'm really proud of the guys," Boylan said. "They've really responded well to the coaching change. We've got our eyes on the future and that's where we are going."
Damian Lillard had 26 points and 10 assists for Portland, which has lost a season-high five straight games. LaMarcus Aldridge had 20 points and 14 rebounds, while Wesley Matthews added 21 points.
Mike Dunleavy had 14 points and Monta Ellis added 13 for Milwaukee. Ilyasova was 10 of 14 from the field, making all three of his 3-point attempts and all four of his free throws.
The Bucks went 3-1 while on a weeklong road trip. Milwaukee was coming off a historic victory of sorts, beating the Suns 115-107 Thursday night for their first win in Phoenix since the 1986-87 season, ending a stretch of 24 consecutive losses. The Bucks kicked off the trip by beating Toronto. They now head home to host Philadelphia.
Boylan, a longtime NBA assistant who was once interim head coach in Chicago, took over when the team parted ways with fifth-year coach Skiles on Jan. 8 amid talk that Skiles was unhappy with the personnel makeup of his team and looking to leave.
"He's done a really good job," Ilyasova said of Boylan. "When you look at our record from the point when he became head coach, we play more together, we share the ball well, we have a couple of new plays we execute well, and we're finally finding our rhythm."
Portland was one of the hottest teams in the NBA after winning 12 of 15 games between Dec. 10 and Jan. 10. But the Blazers struggled with closing out games of late, losing each of their last five by six points or less. Part of the problem has been a tendency to fall behind and dig too big of a hole.
"We definitely have had a trend of that lately," Aldridge said. "We have to figure out how to shake it. We always start a little slow and we always find a way to come back, but if we have better starts, then we won't have to fight so hard to come back."
The Bucks led by 16 with 3:45 remaining in the game, but the Blazers managed a 12-0 run to cut it to 104-100, with Lillard and Matthews hitting back-to-back 3-pointers. But Jennings and Ellis made six of eight free throws in the final minute for Milwaukee, while Lillard missed two 3-point tries.
Jennings and Ilyasova each had 15 points in the first half and Milwaukee led by 17 going into the break after opening up a big first-quarter lead with a 17-0 run.
The Bucks extended their lead to 22 points midway through the third quarter.
Portland briefly cut the lead to eight when Lillard beat the third-quarter buzzer with a 3, but the Bucks went on a 7-0 run to open up the fourth, with Beno Udrih feeding Ellis for a dunk and Dunleavy hitting a 3.
J.J. Hickson had 15 points and 12 rebounds for Portland. Nicolas Batum was just 2 of 9 for seven points after injuring his wrist in practice Friday. However, he had seven rebounds and five assists.
Notes: Milwaukee C Larry Sanders was ejected late in the third after picking up two technical fouls for arguing with official Danny Crawford. . Rookie C Meyers Leonard returned to practice Friday for Portland after missing 10 consecutive games with a sprained ankle sustained Dec. 29 against Philadelphia. He dressed but did not play. . The Blazers had 19 turnovers for the second straight game.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.
1. Andrew Wiggins - Cavaliers
8. Nik Stauskas - Kings
18. Tyler Ennis - Suns
45. Dwight Powell - Hornets

PLAYERS: Percy Harvin, Leslie Frazier, Bill Belichick
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots
The Percy Harvin saga continues with a new report suggesting that the wide receiver might be seeking a deal worth $12 million per year. Now Harvin is a talented player, but character and injury issues will likely prevent the receiver from landing a contract that he might desire. The number he reportedly is looking at is what Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson currently earn and they are worth it. Harvin is not. According to ESPN Minnesota, league officials believe Harvin wants at least $10 million but more towards the $12 million dollar figure. Harvin is in the last year of his contract and wants a new deal. He has threatened to hold out but after reportedly blowing up at head coach Leslie Frazier during the season, the receiver could be on the trade block. The $12 million dollar figure along with the fact that Harvin will likely require a high draft choice to pry away from the Vikings might give many teams pause about pulling the trigger on such a trade. Teams have to wonder also ...

There may only be one casino developer left in the race for a Western Mass casino but the process is far from over.
Just this week another Western Mass casino proposal was rejected by voters.
Now with Mohegan Sun and Hard Rock out of consideration, MGM remains the sole developer here in the area.
Never before has a state taken on a casino process quite like this.
"Trying to learn the subtleties and the nuances of an industry that we're new to and that Massachusetts is new to," said Chairman of the state Gaming Commission, Stephen Crosby.
CBS 3 caught up with Crosby in Boston.
"We've been spending months now and millions of dollars investigating all of these applicants," he said.
Each one of those applicants has come to public meetings. Everything from their past, to their present to their potential future in MA is under scrutiny by the commission.
"It is really detailed, it is really rigorous and I think it's what will protect, in the long run, the integrity of the process and the industry in the state," Crosby said.
The process has already weeded out two developers here in Western Mass.
"There is a tremendous amount of local control," Crosby said of the process.
That local control, the power of a vote, has left MGM as the sole gaming company left here in western Mass.
But to the commission and to MGM, that's no guarantee of a license.
"Ever since our successful referendum in July we've been hard at work daily, refining what is already a great project," said Mike Mathis, vice president of global gaming for MGM.
MGM must still pass a background check by the commission, which is anticipated in the coming weeks.
Crosby says each of the meetings, and each vote by a town brings them closer to the ultimate goal.
"Trying to figure out how to do what the legislature has asked us to do which is to protect the integrity of this industry, that was job one," Crosby said.
All casino applicants are facing a Dec. 31 deadline when all final applications are due.
It still remains to be seen what the final vote will be in Palmer, as Mohegan Sun has formally asked the town for a vote recount.
CBS 3 Springfield will continue to follow those developments and this process as the deadline approaches.
