Designing your home's interior— from the ground up
When building or remodeling a home, flooring materials are often chosen for function and general aesthetic, sometimes without regard to the space's other interior-design elements. This common mistake can lead to a decrease in your home's resale value. Be aware that choosing a flooring material and design is your opportunity to create a cohesive, amazing interior with a floor you'll be proud to show off. Whenever it's time for remodeling or designing the interior of your home, remember to start from the ground up and focus on flooring first.
"The floor of any room should be the visual base for the style and function of the room," says Sara Ann Busby, CKD, owner of Sara Busby Design and representative of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). "The floor 'grounds' the space, and should have the feeling of supporting the components of the room."
"You need to have a long-term design plan," says Elisabeth Stubbs, owner of Enhance Floors & More. "Without a design plan, you can end up limiting yourself."
Read on as flooring and interior-design experts weigh in on the latest trends and advice for creating designer floors in your home.
Component choices
The first decision to make when designing your home's floors is the material you will use. "Keep it simple," recommends Sarah Barnard, LEED AP and interior designer with Sarah Barnard Design. "Choose one amazing material and use a lot of it. Resist the temptation to mix materials over large areas to maintain an upscale and timeless appeal."
Be choosy
Don't be afraid to take your time. Flooring is the foundation of your interior-decorating needs. What kind of flooring would best suit your needs? Think about everyone who lives in your home—from cats to dogs to kids. "Take the time to sit down and discuss your situation with several flooring consultants. Make sure you are being listened to and not being sold the latest promotion," Stubbs says.
"Flooring is a blind purchase for most people because you only purchase flooring a few times in your life and won't know if a room of carpet costs $100 or $10,000," Stubbs says. "Make sure you are making a smart purchase—not spending too much, but also not buying low quality that will not perform well over time. If you don't get a quality installation, or the wrong product was recommended, or you hate the color, it doesn't matter how inexpensive it was. Many times, higher-priced goods and services pay for themselves over time because they last longer."
Walking the planks
With all the options available, it's no surprise that the wood-floor look is a major trend in homes today. Between all the options, two specific factors play a role in determining which wood-floor option to choose: budget and eco-friendliness.
When deciding a budget, remember you will get what you pay for. "Going with the cheapest flooring is not necessarily the most economic choice," says Laura Mireles-Anzures of Daniels Floors. "Hardwood flooring is economical because
it never needs to be replaced. With proper care, homeowners will not even need to refinish their floors for many years. Most hardwood-flooring companies install hardwood flooring in phases so that homeowners can create one area at a time. Unfinished wood can be installed and finished in the home for as little as $5 per square foot," Mireles-Anzures continues.
"Traditional wood floors are increasingly giving way to engineered products due to improved performance and reduced cost," says Carol Goodwin, co-owner of Goodwin Heart Pine Company, a manufacturer of reclaimed heart-pine and original-growth heart-cypress floors. "With some advanced processes, you can have an engineered-wood floor that truly looks and lasts like solid wood, and can be installed where solid wood is impractical."
Going green doesn't mean doing without hardwood flooring. In terms of the environmental impact a wood-flooring product has, several green options are available, including bamboo (a sustainable source of wood) and reclaimed hardwoods (a reused/recycled choice).
"A 100-percent reclaimed-wood floor not only lessens the need to harvest live trees, but it weaves pieces of American history into any room while also carrying the age-old character markings and strength that render it truly unique," says Tommy Sancic, founder and owner of Olde Wood Limited, a manufacturer of 100-percent reclaimed, antique hardwood-flooring products. "Another advantage is that this wood was originally harvested from old growth—virgin forests that produce some of the strongest, most beautiful and unique wood with the tightest grain." Barnard agrees, saying, "I often work with reclaimed wood. Reclaimed hardwoods have a charm and character that new boards can never achieve, not with any amount of distressing. There is a certain warmth and some kind of magic that historic hardwoods bring to a project."
"Ask your flooring company if the wood has been certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC), or another organization that certifies responsible production and consumption of forestry products. This ensures that each tree harvested is replaced by multiple seedlings," Mireles-Anzures suggests. Stubbs agrees, saying, "Looking for the FSC symbol on wood flooring ensures that you are buying from a manufacturer that is environmentally friendly."
Cork chic
Offering a unique texture, cork is a great option from both an aesthetic and functional standpoint. As an interior designer and LEED AP (the U.S. Green Building Council's program for certifying professionals for their eco-friendly knowledge and practices), Barnard is familiar with many green-flooring choices, and she lists cork as one of her favorite wood substitutes. "It is soft underfoot, available in tiles, planks, rolls and sheets, and has the visual warmth of wood," she says, adding that cork is available in many colors, but can also be stained in custom colors.
"Cork flooring creates a Craftsman look," Busby says. "It has a consistent small grain, and you can create various looks by the size and shape of the piece of material. Install larger pieces with a natural wavy edge that meets up to another floor material such as stone—it becomes very organic."
The industrial look
In recent years, finished concrete floors have become a rising star in residential flooring. Paige Rien, interior designer for HGTV's Hidden Potential TV show and principal of Rien With An Eye Design Consultancy, calls this trend the "industrial crossover."
"People are now choosing flooring options for their home—like epoxy—that have previously been used in commercial/industrial applications," she says. "I put polished concrete in this category, as well—it's expensive but durable with a multitude of options for color and texture."
The popularity in finished concrete is mainly due to its budget-friendly cost and ability to mimic the look of expensive stone or tile. "For a clean contemporary look, color the concrete and score it in 4-by-4-foot squares," Busby says. "For a traditional look, it can be finished to look like stone, a great Tuscan look."
Despite it's ability to mimic the look of other materials, Barnard advises homeowners to "avoid the urge to emboss any sort of faux-stone or other pattern into the concrete. The beauty of concrete is it's simplicity," she says.
Focus on flooring
There are several ways to design flooring to include a focal point for the room. Whichever method or material you choose for the focal point, it's important to first determine the placement and size of the focal point.
"Look first for any room elements you might want to emphasize," Goodwin says. "If your room has a special shape, the floor can follow that shape." She suggests considering a flooring focal point in the foyer, in front of a bar, in front of a doorway or threshold, around a fireplace or underneath a skylight.
"When the floor is the focal point, consider furniture placement on that floor and traffic patterns across it," Busby says. "It is important that those items do not interfere with the floor. Also, when the floor has a focal point, make sure the other architectural elements in the room complement it instead of taking away from it."
Wood-flooring focal points
Inlays are a great option to create a focal point in wood floors. "There are many wood inlays, such as a compass, that are available to lay into a floor," Busby says. "There are also wonderfully detailed laser-cut borders that could outline an island or a dining table for a focal point."
Rien and Goodwin also suggest adding visual interest to a wood floor by installing tile, metal inserts or borders. Another option is to add visually unique wood pieces to the floor. "For homeowners who want to centerpiece floors,
we encourage them to add instant eye appeal by installing wide planks, distressed boards, contrasting colors or reclaimed-wood elements," Sancic says.
"The fun really begins in areas of the home that should be highlighted like staircases, foyers, basements, a home office, study, master suite, kitchen and master bathroom," says Jason Seltzer of Great American Floors. "[You can get] different patterns such as herringbone, a Brazilian cherry border and/or borders in these areas when using hardwood floors."
Wood substitutes
"I am a fan of laminates," says Stubbs, who prefers laminates for her two 90-pound dogs. "Newer, higher-end laminates are extremely realistic and practical. And if you want an exotic look like merbau or mahogany, but don't want wood harvested from these vulnerable areas—or cannot afford their price—laminates are the way to go."
Would you rather have carpet? Mohawk offers two different eco-friendly carpets. SmartStrand with DuPont Sorona is made from corn sugar that requires 30-percent less energy to manufacture than traditional nylon carpet. This flooring is made of a new type of fiber called triexta, which features stain resistance woven into the fiber rather than applied.
Mohawk's other eco-friendly line, EverStrand carpet, is made from recycled plastic bottles. One out of every four plastic bottles recycled in North America becomes a Mohawk carpet. Most of the materials are used to create EverStrand carpets.
To create a focal point in a tile floor, Rien suggests setting the tiles in a certain pattern or layout. "A traditional square tile of any size laid in a grid pattern is boring and sort of recedes into the background," she says. "However, a layout on the diagonal creates a sense of movement. Also a mix of reflective and non-reflective tile can create a great dynamic of contrast, even if the color is the same."
Create with paint
Those who are partial to either a worn-in, rustic charm or a highly creative and unique floor should consider painting their existing wood or laminate floors. "Painted floors work best when they enhance existing flooring that is less than perfect," Sancic says. "Painted floors become a more effective part of a room's design when the technique of selective painting is used to add color, form and atmosphere."
On the design front, Barnard recommends painting existing floors for a specific style, color or image. "Painted floors always remind me of the country," Barnard says. "I have seen everything from a solid-red plywood kitchen floor to an old vinyl floor painted over with an abstract rendition of outer space, as well as cute white borders on wide-plank pine floors."
Lovely layers
When creating the design of your flooring, Rien says, "The key is to choose a flooring plan that is multilayered. So, for the entire floor of a home, I suggest a base that works room to room, and then choices for area rugs that can define space for rooms or spaces in an open-plan layout. This is the most basic approach. I try to encourage a strong investment in the base—and that it be reflective, so that light carries from room to room. Then, when it comes to area rugs: texture, texture, texture. The key is to choose something that will highly contrast with the base flooring. Contrast will create a focal point in the flooring."
Stubbs agrees. "The first thing you will say [after installing] hard-surface floors is 'I need some rugs' because the room will be loud and will echo," she says. Rugs help to absorb sound plus have insulating properties. They are like a piece of artwork on your floor."
Selecting the perfect rug can take just as long as choosing your flooring. According to Stuart Spencer from World of Rugs, the key things to consider are budget, look and style, palette, size and the use of the room where the rug will be. "The hot look in traditional rugs continues to be Peshawar, a faded, washed antique look. Another popular look is transitional rugs," Spencer says adding that the best part about rugs is the ability to combine the old with the new. "Traditional and transitional rugs are not locked into any singular types of furnishing," he says. This means you can pair traditional rugs with modern furnishing, or a transitional rug with traditional furnishing.
A big decision
Choosing your home's flooring is a decision that will affect the design of your space for years to come. "A well-designed floor can make a room feel larger, warm, inviting and interesting," says Jennifer Zilka, CEO of Grass Elements LLC, a member of the National Wood Flooring Association and manufacturer of bamboo-flooring products. "Selecting the appropriate floor for a room is not a decision to be taken lightly. Let your senses and feelings about a room guide your decision."
A Bounty of Bamboo
When it first became a popular flooring option, bamboo was a light-colored wood with distinct lines in the planks. Now, a number of options in bamboo exist, making it just as versatile as any other hardwood. Jennifer Zilka, CEO of Grass Elements LLC, a member of the National Wood Flooring Association and manufacturer of bamboo-flooring products, shares three popular options in bamboo:
Horizontal bamboo: This construction of bamboo lends itself to contemporary and Asian styles of design with clean lines and a calming appeal.
Vertical bamboo: Offering a more diverse style than horizontal bamboo, vertical bamboo has both uniformity to appeal to Asian-design enthusiasts, as well as orderly construction that provides a visual balance for a room that's classically designed.
Strand-woven bamboo: Rich in visual texture, this type of bamboo works well in traditional, rustic and tropical designs. Strand-woven bamboo is also just as hard, if not harder, than traditional oak-hardwood floors.
Remember, wood is only an economical choice if you take care of it. David Flesher, owner of Flesher's Hardwood Floors, suggests buying cleaning products specifically approved for hardwood floors. "An inexpensive home recipe for cleaning and sanitizing your hardwoods is to mix a white-vinegar-and-water solution (one part vinegar to four parts water). Be sure to only use a dampened mop when cleaning your floors," Flesher says.
In most cases, spot cleaning will do the job. Laura Mireles-Anzures warns, "Don't use a vineger and water solution on floors with a polyurethane finish, [only use it on] hardwoods with a tung-oil finish."
Mohawk's Hardwood and Laminate Floor Cleaner is an eco-friendly way to clean your hardwood floors. Made specifically for hardwood and/or laminates, it's also biodegradable. You can even use it on vinyl surfaces.
Inlay Information
Inlay flooring products are made of high-grade materials including exotic and regional hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, sapeli, yellow heart, maple, wenge, cherry and oak. The inlay design is created using industrial scroll saws, lasers and computer-controlled routing equipment.
The inlay is typically bonded to a cabinet-grade plywood substrate, which gives each medallion or border a stable base to match your floors and allows the inlay to be a lifelong object. The net effect of medallions and borders is to provide a focal point and a rich alternative to an otherwise plain floor—one that will last as long as your floor.
Medallions and borders can be installed in either new or existing floors and then finished with the floor. Inlay floor products have also been used frequently in pre-finished or engineered floors and therefore would be finished before they are installed. The process of installing the medallions and borders is comparatively easy. Installation manuals are available for both homeowners and professional installers.
—Kathy Andersen, Inlay Product World Inc.
"Flooring defines space and gives a room boundaries. It's also a major determining factor for how light is reflected and the mood that is created in the room. If the room is already dark, consider not only light-colored floors, but reflective materials, as well."
—Paige Rien, interior designer with HGTV's Hidden Potential, principal of Rien With An Eye Design Consultancy
"Use area rugs in front of entryways, in hallways, in front of the kitchen sink and in other high traffic areas where the floors will wear down."
—Laura Mireles-Anzures, Daniels Floors
"The installation has a great deal to do with how the finished product looks, how well it performs, and even if it will be covered by the manufacturer's warranty."
—Elisabeth Stubbs, owner, Enhance Floors and More
"Reclaimed hardwoods have a charm and character that new boards can never achieve, not with any amount of distressing. There is a certain warmth and some kind of magic that historic hardwoods bring to a project."
—Sarah Barnard, LEED AP and interior designer, Sarah Barnard Designs

It's that time of year to cozy up with a hot cup of tea and a delicious bowl of healthy rice pudding. Our vegan rice pudding recipe is made with brown rice, all-natural sweeteners, almond milk, and warm spices!
The leaves literally changed overnight here in Minneapolis. We left for Milwaukee on Friday and everything was green. We got home late Sunday and wabam…there are yellows and oranges and reds showing up everywhere. Guys this makes my heart so happy. Now, if only we could get the leaves to stay that way forever!
If you're a spicy lady like we are, feel free to add more spices. You could even mix things up a bit and add a bit of pumpkin pie spice or even chai spice. You'll notice that we did not use any refined sugars in this recipe and only used maple! This is not only better for you, but also keeps things 100% plant-based, which is oh-so-good for our environment.
Place brown rice, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a medium pot. Bring to a rolling boil.
Cover the pot with its lid and turn the heat down to low. Let simmer for 45 minutes then add 1 more cup of almond milk and mix. Let simmer for 15 more minutes.
Serve brown rice pudding hot with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and a splash of almond milk. If you're eating this recipe for breakfast, I suggest adding a nut butter like cashew butter or peanut butter and a handful of raisins or nuts.
Place 1 cup brown rice 3 cups of almond milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup in a medium pot.
Turn heat down to low and cover pot with lid. Let simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1 more cup of almond milk and let simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes or until rice is soft and chewy.
Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon and optional almond milk.
Option to use any kind of milk.
Option to sub honey for maple syrup (note: would not be vegan).

The 2013 Alberta Floods offer a good omen for the Calgary Flames
Yesterday, I offered my own flood story, so today I thought that I would focus on the Calgary Flames. Here's what I believe the flood will mean to the teams who play in the currently-submerged Scotiabank Saddledome.
The flood caused extensive damage to the Saddledome, which is the home of the Calgary Flames as well as the WHL's Calgary Hitmen and the Calgary Roughnecks lacrosse team.
The Flames' dressing room was submerged, irreplaceable records and memorabilia were destroyed, and the arena itself was flooded up to the 8th row. Here are some photos posted by the Flames.
On the bright side, Calgary has an opportunity to stage naval battles (as the Roman coliseum did in antiquity) as part of the Stampede festivities.
This scene makes the "Swamp of Sadness" from The Neverending Story seem like paradise.
The owners hope to have the Saddledome cleaned up soon for upcoming events, but right now the only show opening is the Elbow River's "debris derby."
The murky water hides the slimy sediment underneath the flood. Based on clips of Calgarians trying to salvage their property by cleaning up this sludge, I think that it's safe to say that this pictures don't fully capture how much of the arena and its contests are irredeemably damaged.
Even more frightening for the crew trying to drain the inundated Saddledome was the sight of Harvey the Hound's head bobbing up and down in the flood.
In case you're unfamiliar with the Flames' mascot, here's a replica of Harvey posing with his #1 fan (Heather).
If you think that I'm comfortable enough in my relationship not to feel threatened by an acrobatic, humanoid dog, then you probably didn't see my petition to rename this mascot, "Harvey the Home-wrecking Hound."
Eric Francis updated Flames fans on Harvey's status yesterday.
Eric Francis @EricFrancis3h
Harvey the Hound's head was found floating in the middle of the Saddledome today as crews pump out an estimated 300,000,000 gallons of water
If that tweet doesn't alarm you, this one should at least give you a start:
Flames say bulk of 300 million gallons of water now pumped out of Dome. Oh, and the rest of Harvey the Hound's body still missing
No one knows why Harvey, a former "first pound pick" by the Flames in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, was beheaded by the torrent. Some might see this event as nature finishing off what the Edmonton Oilers's GM Craig MacTavish began when (as the head coach of the Oilers) he ripped out Harvey's tongue during a game at the Saddledome.
I, however, see this event as a good omen.
In the history of superstitions, finding severed heads has a long track record of being a sign of good fortune. The Roman historian Pliny claims that a severed head was found during an excavation of the Temple of Jupiter in Rome. That temple was thereafter called Rome's "capital" (derived from the Latin word for "head"), and the shocking event was interpreted as a sign that Rome would lead the world.
During the English Civil War (1642-51), in which members of England's parliament took arms against King Charles I over his supposed tyranny, Oliver Cromwell and his supporters resolved that the captured king should be executed for treason.
To defend Cromwell's decision to behead Charles I, the poet and statesman Andrew Marvell wrote an ode that (by drawing on the story from Pliny) interpreted the king's execution as a favourable omen for England, which had been re-founded as a republic. Great nations, it seems, begin with grisly and unwanted incursions with severed heads.
Alas, poor Harvey. I knew him, Horatio. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath born the faintly flickering Flames on his back a thousand times. Here hung the tongue that wagged at many an opponent. Where be your gibes now? your shirt-gun? your drum? your daring walks along the ledge that made the crowds gasp and roar?
Being submerged is an unpleasantly ironic way for Harvey to spend his pearl anniversary as part of the Flames organization, but it does offer some hope. For those looking for a silver lining behind the discovery of Harvey's head, I recommend taking it as a sign that the Flames will soon establish an NHL dynasty that will dominate the league for a time somewhere between the duration of the Roman Empire and the shortly-lived Commonwealth of England (1649-1660).
Even if their dominance lasts for only a decade, it will still be the longest-tenured dynasty in NHL history. If the Hitmen and Roughnecks similarly establish dynasties in their leagues, then Calgary will emerge from this flood as a glorious city of champions.

Two diseases, one patient… By Carolyn Kavita Tauro
Tuberculosis (TB) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) – can we continue to tackle these separately? According to the Global TB Report (2012), in 2011, out of 8.7 million people who developed TB worldwide 1.1 million (13%) were HIV positive. An approximate of 0.4 million HIV-associated TB deaths took place in 2011 and TB is the most common opportunistic infection among people living with HIV (PLWH). HIV increases chances that latent TB infection can become active TB disease and also increases the risk of death due to this.
While all of us know the individual effect of each of these diseases and the challenges faced by the patient to get diagnosed, endure the treatment and side effects, it is difficult to even begin to realize the interactions of the drugs and the complexities of these two diseases that many a patient is in. Having HIV with TB, or TB with HIV then means too many drugs for a very long time and the need for constant monitoring and compliance. More the drugs, more the side effects and struggle to keep it going. While one takes these drugs to be alive despite all odds, damage is done to the liver and kidneys among other organs. Socially, the patient endures a double stigma: the taboo along with the isolation. If one thinks this is enough on the list for a lifetime, the list isn't finished yet.
A day in the life of TB-HIV patient involves travelling long distances to be seen by a doctor for a little more than 30 seconds, being pushed from one facility to another, from one long queue to another longer one in order to get a test done, a packet of drugs or the next bus home. Given their current body strength, they have to keep to this system of medical services to find out, very often with much delay, that they have managed to get two very big diseases. The delay is due to logistics, no co-ordination between doctors and their documentation, or defaulters. The individual loss of the day's work, energy, meals, coupled with an accompanying caretaker's loss of day's work only adds on to the overall situation. A woman who also needs to manage her home, children and job is left to wait for hours in a facility which, at the end of the day, will inevitably send her to another site for further management.
The potential threat of disease doesn't remain with the patient but spreads to society as these patients travel in crowded transportation from one place to the other. "There are 3 main measures that can be implemented", according to Dr Valerie Schwoebel, from the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union). "They are called "the three I's: Infection control, Intensified case-finding and Isoniazid preventive therapy. Infection control consists in taking precautions in order to reduce the transmission of the tubercle bacilli, which are disseminated in air by TB coughing patients. This includes diagnosing and treating TB early in the family and contacts of the HIV-infected person, implementing airborne infection control measures at health facilities. Intensified case-finding means that searching for TB should be always part of the medical follow-up of people living with HIV: health workers should always be on the alert for TB at all times and TB diagnostic and treatment services should be easily available and accessible. Isoniazid preventive therapy is a treatment that can prevent the development of active TB disease in PLWH already infected by the bacilli but not yet sick. The treatment lasts at least 6 months and must be delivered in settings where careful evaluation and follow-up of patients is organized.
Presently, we see divided management in both government and private health systems who have taken up TB or HIV management and care around the world. Vertical national TB and HIV programs, both recognize the need for early detection of diseases in their respective cohort. However, not much has been done so far to facilitate that. Many doctors still do not follow the mandatory testing of TB and HIV in respective diseases, but only test TB patients for HIV, when in doubt of the same. While some organisations focus on TB treatment close to areas of low socio economic populations, others focus on HIV in areas like targeted intervention among commercial sex workers, truck drivers, the MSM community and IV drug users.
While many programs are still weighing out and arguing the benefits of the same, some integration programs internationally and in India, have shown to be successful and possible to save many lives. Dr. Paula Fujiwara, Scientific Director at the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union) shares the organisation's extensive experience in this. She said to Citizen News Service – CNS in an exclusive interview: "Key issues required to scale up collaborative activities include: 1. Commitment and ownership at national level by BOTH the TB and HIV programs to integrate services. 2. At the level where services are provided, linking and integrating the needs of the dually-affected person."
Swaziland has one of the highest incidences of TB in the world and one of the highest prevalence of HIV. COMDIS, a research programme consortium that works to drive research and development to combat communicable diseases in low-income countries works here. COMDIS supported the rural hospital Good Shepherd Hospital to introduce HIV testing by TB nurses. They implemented the '3 Is' for people living with HIV/AIDS. The national program soon followed suit. International HIV/AIDS Alliance, in its projects, links TB and HIV by increasing awareness of TB/HIV and educating patients and counseling them on TB infection control measures. TB case detection among people with HIV and HIV testing of TB patients is carried out.
Adherence support for both TB and HIV patients is done. Closer to home, the state of Karnataka began integrative services following the model put forth by Samastha project funded by USAID and Karnataka State AIDS Prevention Society (KSAPS). This requires training of district project officer, nurses, and other caretakers to make sure that quality management is given to the patients. Although assessments done show that collaboration between the two programs is relatively inexpensive, the investments lie in reducing the gaps in knowledge and skills among health workers, laboratory diagnostics, staffing levels, medical supplies and infrastructure.
In order to combat these two public health problems there has to be a sustained effort in strengthening and integrate the health system to provide quality health care. In March 2012, World Health Organisation (WHO) made some recommendation towards TB-HIV collaborative activities. The recommendations included: A.) To establish and strengthen the mechanism for delivering and integrating TB and HIV services, B.) To reduce the burden of TB in people living with HIV and initiate early ART by the three Is. C.) Reduce the burden of HIV in patients with presumptive and diagnosed TB. The question remains, as Dr. Michel Sidibe, UNAIDS Executive Director asked at the Stop TB Partner's Forum in 2009, "When a virus (HIV) and a bacteria (TB) can work so well together, why can't we"?

We hand weave these sophisticated baskets from sustainably harvested water hyacinth reeds that clog the rivers and waterways of Thailand unless culled and dried into long sturdy strands. After weaving a "mat" of the material we fold it and form it into the baskets you see. Over time the reed will transform into a slightly more golden brown.

Rest easy, those of you who were denied Hall H privileges this morning!
The Warner Bros. panel brought it hard with their superhero roster—flying the whole Suicide Squad in for a cameo, and even showing a reel of concept art for a ton of forthcoming DC Cinematic Universe movies. But the jewel in their crown is obvious, and it's Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice. The Comic Con trailer is now online and it is way, way better than the first one. Jesse Eisenberg promised this movie would be emotionally grounded, and from what we've got in this SDCC-sized clip, Lex ain't just blowing smoke.
Broken Batman, embattled Superman, and even furious Wonder Woman here. And crumbling Wayne Towers? Color us ready.

You need not take the blame if you're unfamiliar with the origins of "exculpate," but there's a hint in this sentence. The word, which was adopted in the late 17th century from Medieval Latin exculpatus, traces back to the Latin noun culpa, meaning "blame." Some other descendants of "culpa" in English include "culpable" ("meriting condemnation or blame") and "inculpate" ("incriminate"), as well as the considerably rarer "culpatory" ("accusing") and "disculpate" (a synonym of "exculpate"). You may also be familiar with the borrowed Latin phrase mea culpa, which translates directly as "through my fault" and is used in English to mean "a formal acknowledgment of personal fault or error."

Q: JSON file modified with cat and jq ouputs differently when ran from function script I created a bash script that, amongst other things, modifies a json file with jq.
The line doing that is:
cat <<< $(jq '.eslintConfig.extends="@gbrachetta/eslint-config" | .+ {prettier: "@gbrachetta/prettier-config"}' package.json) > package.json

This works great, and running this bash script (MacOS) produces a perfectly formatted json file:
{
  "name": "test",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "next": "10.1.3",
    "prop-types": "^15.7.2",
    "react": "17.0.2",
    "react-dom": "17.0.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@gbrachetta/eslint-config": "1.3.0",
    "eslint": "^7.24.0",
    "eslint-config-airbnb": "^18.2.1",
    "eslint-config-prettier": "^8.2.0",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.22.1",
    "eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y": "^6.4.1",
    "eslint-plugin-prettier": "^3.4.0",
    "eslint-plugin-react": "^7.23.2",
    "eslint-plugin-react-hooks": "^4.2.0",
    "prettier": "^2.2.1"
  },
  "eslintConfig": {
    "extends": "@gbrachetta/eslint-config"
  },
  "prettier": "@gbrachetta/prettier-config"
}

I wanted to improve my script and created a bash script with functions.
The result is great, and the cat command modifies the json file as expected, but the resulting file isn't formatted and it's outputted in a single line.
This is what I get with my functional script:
{ "name": "test", "version": "0.1.0", "private": true, "scripts": { "dev": "next dev", "build": "next build", "start": "next start" }, "dependencies": { "next": "10.1.3", "prop-types": "^15.7.2", "react": "17.0.2", "react-dom": "17.0.2" }, "devDependencies": { "@gbrachetta/eslint-config": "1.3.0", "eslint": "^7.24.0", "eslint-config-airbnb": "^18.2.1", "eslint-config-prettier": "^8.2.0", "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.22.1", "eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y": "^6.4.1", "eslint-plugin-prettier": "^3.4.0", "eslint-plugin-react": "^7.23.2", "eslint-plugin-react-hooks": "^4.2.0", "prettier": "^2.2.1" }, "eslintConfig": { "extends": "@gbrachetta/eslint-config" }, "prettier": "@gbrachetta/prettier-config" }

The cat line is identical in both scripts, and the resulting json (except for the formatting) is the same in both cases, but I don't understand why running the cat command from a function outputs the file in one line.
I'm really curious to know what I could be doing wrong!

A: Simply use jq directly, without cat and without any indirections:
jq '.eslintConfig.extends="@gbrachetta/eslint-config" | . + {prettier: "@gbrachetta/prettier-config"}' package.json > package.json.tmp
mv package.json.tmp package.json

GNU sponge can help to simplify the script/avoid the second command.

Recently, a family friend has embarked on an inspiring journey to lead a healthier lifestyle to improve not only her health but also her quality of life. She posted a great quote via social media, where she has been chronicling her health and wellness journey, that read, "Be a work-in-progress and keep progressing," -author unknown.
It's powerful, inspiring and straightforward-- put forth the effort and keep at it. I know it made me stop in my tracks and think twice. You don't have to become an expert overnight, but in order to progress you need to help yourself succeed. Do what you can and watch the progression take place. YOU are the only obstacle standing in your way of a better quality of life. Kudos to my family friend and all who are trying to better themselves. It's not an easy task, but it's a worthy cause.
If you are seeking to lead a healthier lifestyle, take the first steps and change those unhealthy behaviors and habits in your lifestyle that tend to lead you astray. Grab a workout buddy and motivate each other to exercise more throughout the week, drink more water, incorporate more fresh foods and less processed junk, etc. It doesn't have to happen all at once, but taking the necessary steps to help you lead a fuller, healthier life starts with you. You have to be willing to try.


NEW YORK — Stephen Hawking is a romantic.
His favorite song is "Have I Told You Lately" by Rod Stewart. His favorite movie is "Jules et Jim," a famous 1962 French film about a love triangle.
Reddit published Hawking's responses to 11 questions on Thursday, a little over two months after the AMA began.
The thread received over 9,000 questions in the span of a week, making it the third-largest AMA in Reddit's history. Hawking worked with Reddit's moderators to gather questions and respond in his own time. He has suffered from the motor neuron disease ALS for the past forty years, and communicates through a computer.
The AMA's primary purpose was to debate the benefits and consequences of AI, or artificial intelligence.
When asked to clarify his view on AI — if he truly believed in a Skynet-like evil — Hawking said his view has been misrepresented.
It's clearly possible for something to acquire higher intelligence than its ancestors: We evolved to be smarter than our ape-like ancestors, and Einstein was smarter than his parents.
Don't trust anyone who claims to know for sure [how long it will take to build human-level AI].
When it eventually does occur, it's likely to be either the best or worst thing ever to happen to humanity, so there's huge value in getting it right. We should shift the goal of AI from creating pure undirected artificial intelligence to creating beneficial intelligence.
What is the risk of "technological unemployment" where machines take jobs?

Talking Hyperlocal with Alive in Libya's Bureau Chief
This morning, the Online Journalism Blog ran an interviewwith the creators of a UK-based hyperlocal news site, South Norwich News. While the model of hyperlocal journalism is controversial (is it needed? is it sustainable?), creator Claire Wood is confident that hyperlocal content is a worthy companion to larger media outlets:
We're very much in the news business but on a very small scale. We wanted to get away from deadlines and pressures that cause papers and news bulletins to churn out the same press releases across the day.
Some big stories we can't avoid covering along with the local paper or radio station, but we always try to find a different angle. There's little point covering the same stories that people can find elsewhere.
As we become more established, it becomes easier to set our own agenda. We aim to delve a little deeper into stories which matter to people locally which other news outlets might not be able to do in such detail.
At the same time, Knight Foundation unveiled the winners of their 2011 Knight News Challenge. While many of the prize recipients focused on the solving some of the complications with online mass media, a few of them were geared more toward smaller, more local journalism projects. This one in particular caught our eye:
Project: OpenBlock Rural Winner: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, N.C. Award: $275,000 Project lead: Ryan Thornburg Website: jomc.unc.eduTwitter: @rtburg
Rural news organizations often struggle to move into the digital age because they lack the staff to make public data digestible. OpenBlock Rural will work with local governments and community newspapers in North Carolina to collect, aggregate and publish government data, including crime and real estate reports, restaurant inspections and school ratings. In addition, the project aims to improve small local papers' technical expertise and provide a new way to generate revenue.
Small World News is especially interested in localized content, as one of the issues we've consistently grappled with throughout our many projects is getting content not only out of the country, but also to distribute content within the country itself. We're currently investing and exploring different options for offline digital distribution, such as bluetooth, USB drives, and CD/DVD's.
Alive in Libya has been quite successful at bringing the stories of Libyans to the outside world, especially Westerners, but it is still not reaching its full potential when it comes to providing news for citizens living in Libya.
This morning I sat down with
Seraj ElAlem
, Alive in Libya's Bureau Chief in Benghazi, to find out what he had to say about getting local content to the locals themselves.
First of all, why is it that more Libyans aren't watching Alive in Libya right now?
We've been getting a lot of positive feedback from Libyans abroad as well as Libyans here who have managed to get online and watch some videos, or got their hands on our material one way or another. Mainly now most Libyans can't watch because of the lack of internet access.
What kind of news are Libyans most interested in? Local stories or news from outside Libya?
I think there's an audience for each. Libyans have been deprived of active local media for years, they don't know how to feel when they see a report on Alive in Libya that's discussing some issue they're personally dealing with. TV has always been a Gaddafi glorifying instrument, not a way to report about Libyans' day-to-day problems and issues.
Are there ways for the content to reach Libyans without internet access?
As for now we have printed 100 CDs [pre-loaded with Alive in Libya content] to distribute. The more efficient way to get our material to a Libyan audience is to get them on the new Libya TV channels that have been appearing on satellite. We're currently in the process of discussing this matter with a few of these channels.
Are there any issues with these new TV outlets? Are they adequately serving the needs of Libyans?
The channels are very pro-revolution obviously, which sometimes diminishes their value as a news source. I personally do not trust the news I hear on them, they're usually modified to be pro-revolution.
One of the things that the new Libyan channels are suffering from is a common problem among all Arab channels: they just love "analysts" - people who generally tell you how you should view something or how you should feel or react towards it. The people on the streets don't get enough air time. And if they do, the interviewer's questions are usually loaded and end up guiding the person towards a specific answer.
Given an unlimited budget, how would you shape Alive in Libya to better serve citizens inside Libya?
I would put Alive in Libya bureaus in all the major cities [There is only one bureau currently in Benghazi, with one planned in Misrata]. I'd start a TV channel where the time slots are divided among these offices. They'd broadcast what's happening in their region, and their time slot would rotate so no one office gets prime time all the time.
Would you do anything with mobile phones or the internet? Or just bypass those for now until Libya has more access to the internet?
Sadly, Libya is a bit behind when it comes to telecommunication. So if I had unlimited funding, for the time being, I'd focus more on TV.
Of course the bureaus around Libya would still be producing for the Alive in Libya website. And the way mobile phones are changing now, soon you won't have "internet & mobiles" you'll just have internet.
I appreciate Seraj being able to take time away from his duties to speak with me. This is a conversation that I've had with folks at the Small World News headquarters many times before, and will continue to have into the future.
Figuring out how to make and adequately distribute content relevant to locals will continue to be one of the issues that concerns us, in Libya or any of the other host countries for Alive.In projects. Whether hyperlocal is an adequate model for this kind of journalism remains to be sorted out, but some solution must be devised in order to reach the local citizen themselves, beyond the foreign and western audience.
For more information on the Alive.In projects, visit Alive in Libya, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Results, Photos & Race Wrap Now Available!
Saturday, 5th May saw nearly 900 mountain bikers hit the trails around the normally sleepy hamlet of St Albans for another edition of the iconic Convict 100. New tales of triumph and achievement were carved into the history of the event as riders enjoyed the 100km, 68km and 44km courses.
Sandstone ridge lines, the infamous kayak bridge and the remnants of tracks originally carved out of the Australian bush by convicts many years ago were all conquered by the riders. All were bathed in glorious autumn sunshine as the normal quiet valley came alive for the event.
Congratulations to all the riders across all 3 distances, while the podium place getters enjoyed the benefit of some great prizes from event sponsor Ground Effect, cracking times were set across all categories. While the fastest riders were finished the rest of the field were up in the hills chasing their own goals, fueled by the Tailwind Nutrition available on course, many on a bike given a last minute tune up by the team from The Odd Spoke.
If the goal was to set a PB, beat their riding buddies or simply finish, all were challenged by the course and enjoyed the journey that is the Convict 100. This isn't an event of short loops around and around the same section of track, this is a journey, a trip into the unknown where the pain in the legs is dulled by the spectacular views and exciting riding.
As the morning passed and turned into the afternoon more and more happy riders streamed across the finish line, most heading straight to the beer tent to claim their free ice cold Wayward Brewing beer. Tales were told and new friends made as everyone you met shared the same passion, mountain biking!
The Convict will be back in 2019 so note down Saturday the 4th of May 2019 in your diary and start planning your next assault on this classic and challenging course.
Full race results and all the great images from Outer Image can be found via the links below.
Check out how you did against the competition here.

Flocking transition within the framework of Kuramoto paradigm for synchronization: Clustering and the role of the range of interaction
Daniel Escaff*, Rafael Delpiano
Grupo de Sistemas Complejos de Ingeniería
A Kuramoto-type approach to address flocking phenomena is presented. First, we analyze a simple generalization of the Kuramoto model for interacting active particles, which is able to show the flocking transition (the emergence of coordinated movements in a group of interacting self-propelled agents). In the case of all-to-all interaction, the proposed model reduces to the Kuramoto model for phase synchronization of identical motionless noisy oscillators. In general, the nature of this non-equilibrium phase transition depends on the range of interaction between the particles. Namely, for a small range of interaction, the transition is first order, while for a larger range of interaction, it is a second order transition. Moreover, for larger interaction ranges, the system exhibits the same features as in the case of all-to-all interaction, showing a spatially homogeneous flux when flocking phenomenon has emerged, while for lower interaction ranges, the flocking transition is characterized by cluster formation. We compute the phase diagram of the model, where we distinguish three phases as a function of the range of interaction and the effective coupling strength: a disordered phase, a spatially homogeneous flocking phase, and a cluster-flocking phase. Then, we present a general discussion about the applicability of this way of modeling to more realistic and general situations, ending with a brief presentation of a second example (a second model with a conservative interaction) where the flocking transition may be studied within the framework that we are proposing.

Open call: collaborative residency - F.C.F.
This is an open call for artists who work with socially engaged environmental issues and who are fundamentally committed to a collaborative approach. FCF is more interested in philosophy and methodology of the artists than the media they are using.
In order to understand what FCF is looking for please read our manifesto (click here) FCF will be a facilitating platform where participants will apply their unique contributions to generate a shared collective product. Each participant will share responsibility in guiding the creative process.
At this stage this open call is UK based. The way the process develops is dependent upon takes part, where they are based, what they want to do and how they work.
FCF has the experience of running collaborative experiments between artists, and between artists and other disciplines. Because FCF is committed to a collaborative approach we cannot entirely define what the outcome will be and how it will be presented. We expect this collaboration to be innovative in processes of generating artwork and how authentic collaborative research can produce profound creative outcomes. As a result of the collaborative nature of the process, collaborative outcomes will have a collaborative ownership.
During the submission stage any written contributions, ideas and visual material, etc will remain the property of the proposing artist.
Deadline for this open call is 15TH OF SEPTEMBER 2014, 5PM (we are happy to accept informal enquiries until that day) EXTENDED DEADLINE.
For submissions please email functionalcollaborativefutures@gmail.com with the subject line: collaborative residency proposal.


Before anyone answers, please know I'm not looking to be judged. In a nutshell, I want to be over this.
The problem is, I have been sincerely in love with my husband's brother for years. Every year it gets stronger. My husband and I started dating when we were 17 and his brother was only in 6 grade. We got married at 19- about 8 years ago. Around 6 years ago, I developed a personal relationship with my brother in law that was totally healthy and since then have always had a soft spot. I really can't remember when it started, at least 4 years ago, I began to fall in love with him. I know it's wrong. I don't need to be told that.
It's gotten to the point that when I'm around him I get depressed. I tried telling myself it's sick because he is basically my little brother but that doesn't work. I won't go on about what it is I love about him as to not justify my feelings. I tried severing any ties or chance of seeing- hearing about him but their family is close and it isn't really possible with out it seeming suspicious. My six year old son is extremely close to him and talks about him constantly. I can't get away from it. I go to bed thinking about him and wake up thinking about him. My marriage is a good one. We got married too young and are very different people.
Regardless, my husband and I love each other very much and are best friends. We have moved passed the gushy part on our relationship but are mature adults. I'm a black and white person and feel like there is no situation that would ever make being with my brother in law OK. But I can honestly say I have never loved anyone the way I love him, and it's love that has grown over years. How do I get over him? I know these feelings are not healthy for me my family or my husband's.


Not very inspiring ... but no throttling.
You're getting ~11Mbps download and ~6Mbps upload. That sounds throttled or bottlenecked to me considering your connection is 60/17.
... but I see no sign (yet) of the 1 hour suspensions reported elsewhere.
And maybe suspension only occurs for traffic coming via the API?
Specifically, the API mentions that the retry time can be as high as 3600 seconds (1 hour). And in testing with StableBit CloudDrive, yes, the retry times get high enough to be unusable (and rather quickly).
However, it is entirely possible (plausible) that Microsoft is using a different method/API for their client that isn't subject to the ridiculous retry and throttling limitations. Wouldn't even surprise me, in fact.
So about that Service Level Agreement for <a cloud storage provider>, what do we need?
Has CoveCube been considering these factors ... or is it 'whatever the <cloud storage provider> ... provides'?
OK, so I have 20Mbs upstream from home (call it 2MBs). I make that 0.17TB per day continuous throughput.
If I can get that 99% of the time as a consumer ... now or later in the day ... then I'm happy with the Office 365 subscription.
What are you offering with OneDrive Microsoft? 'Windows as a Service' was YOUR IDEA.
... and how about putting that in a document, not an EU(end user)LA, but a PLC - a Provider Level Commitment?
Yes, it's basically whatever the storage provider and your bandwidth can provide. We do plan on implementing throttling later (in part because it's not exactly straightforward).
We (Covecube/StableBit) don't provide the accounts, but just a way to use them. We've discussed offering (reselling) storage, but even if we were, it's not goign to be in the immediate future (we want to "finish" up with StableBit CloudDrive before doing anything else, really).
So it looks like I could do 10GB a day easily ... or 3.65 TB a year ... which is good enough for me.
Not horrible, but not great either.
Some movement yesterday from Microsoft on the OneDrive for Business front, I see.
I think the code word for MSFT's release strategy should be GLACIER.
Interesting the figure from the guy with fibre broadband!
Tried another upload test ... moved my 4GB video file 6 times in about 15 hours.
So 20GB a day up seems possible.
That's 6TB a year ... more than enough for me.
... I'm not looking at the problem of storage as 'I have a 5TB database which has crashed and my business will fold if it isn't back in 1 day'.
I have collections of separate images, music and video files ... not a monolith.
If in a home situation the worst case scenario is that I have to wait an hour to watch a video .. .then hey its me at home, not the end of my livelihood.
I only ever look at about 2% of my collection in a year anyways!
The other thing is that OneDrive storage is presumably on enterprise grade kit, in Windows clusters using ReFS, 72-bay Storage Spaces enclosures with high column counts: a tad more secure than my amateur efforts!!
I just discovered SB CloudDrive and started my Amazon Prime CloudDrive 3-month trial. SB CD is connected to my Amazon account. I currently use CrashPlan on my WSE12R2 box to backup critical data to the CP "cloud" from my home server.
However, I'd like to test SB CD as a secondard cloud backup similar to CrashPlan (may replace CP if it goes well even). I wasn't sure how others have gone about doing this with the SB CD app. Was going to create a 10 TB cloud drive. My Amazon CloudDrive account is unlimited. But wasn't sure how to properly enable the SB CD encryption and go about doing this.
My bandwidth is unlimited at 50/10 Mpbs. Business class ISP.
Amazon CloudDrive unlimited ... that would just be for photos, right?
No, it appears to be photos, videos and other data.
"Prime now includes free storage in Amazon Cloud Drive for your entire photo collection. Enjoy secure photo storage, automatic photo and video backup, and anywhere access with Cloud Drive."
2. Video just backed up (and made to look like it might be free by juxtaposition).
3. Other data - just accessible.
My plan is Amazon Cloud Drive Unlimited Everything.

Wichita State University is seeking companies interested in licensing a patent-pending accessory for wearable devices and its applications that achieve over 180 degree field of view.
Researchers and practitioners hope to use wearable devices, such as Google Glass, for their observational research, training, and communication. However, the built-in cameras in these wearable devices often have a limited field of view. For example, the Google Glass camera can only capture about 70 degrees, which restricts the application of these wearable devices. WSU researchers in the field of usability testing are conducting ongoing research using a WSU-developed accessory and application, uSee Glass, that allows users to remotely see through the camera of Google Glass. The uSee software is available for licensing from WSU. An expanded field of view for Google Glass will increase the effectiveness for use by researchers, healthcare workers and drivers with disabilities.
A complex lens array to achieve over 180 degree field of view.
The accessory lens can easily be attached to Google Glass.
It can help all researchers and practitioners who use Google Glass for image capture or video streaming.

Pemulwuy, né vers 1750 dans la région de Botany Bay et mort le , était une figure emblématique de la résistance aborigène à la colonisation britannique de l'Australie. Décrit comme le « premier dirigeant de la résistance aborigène », il était membre du peuple bidjigal.

En 1790, Pemulwuy et quatre autres Aborigènes tuèrent le colon John McIntyre, qu'ils accusaient d'avoir tué des Aborigènes. À partir de 1792, il mena des attaques répétées contre des colons. En 1797, il fut blessé et capturé lors d'un raid sur une ferme appartenant aux autorités coloniales. Il s'échappa de l'hôpital, blessé et en chaînes, et reprit ses assauts contre la colonie. La plupart des attaques qu'il mena furent en réponse à des crimes spécifiques commis par des colons, notamment des rapts d'enfants aborigènes. Il fut blessé par balles à plusieurs reprises, mais survécut, amenant un colon à remarquer que « son corps contient maintenant […] environ huit ou dix onces de plomb ».

Il fut finalement abattu vers la fin mai ou début juin 1802. Sa tête fut tranchée après sa mort, et envoyée à Londres accompagnée d'une lettre soulignant sa bravoure (écrite par le Gouverneur Philip King  ). Son crâne fut restitué à l'Australie dans les années 1950, mais fut ensuite perdu.

Une banlieue de Sydney porte aujourd'hui le nom de Pemulwuy, de même qu'un parc à Sydney.

Keon Ellis nails late trey to lift No. 19 Alabama past No. 14 Tennessee
Flipboard Share on Flipboard

Dec 29, 2021; Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA; Tennessee Volunteers forward Olivier Nkamhoua (13) controls the ball against Alabama Crimson Tide forward Noah Gurley (0) during the first half at Coleman Coliseum. Mandatory Credit: Marvin Gentry-USA TODAY Sports
Keon Ellis drilled a 3-pointer with 41.7 seconds left Wednesday night to give No. 19 Alabama the lead for good in its 73-68 win over 14th-ranked Tennessee in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The Volunteers (9-3, 0-1 SEC) led 68-67 following Oliver Nkamhoua's 3-pointer with 50 seconds remaining, but the Crimson Tide (10-3, 1-0) responded. Ellis made just 3 of 9 shots on the night, but hit the one that most mattered.
JD Davison and Noah Gurley combined to make three of four foul shots in the final 30 seconds to put the contest away. Gurley, a Furman transfer, came off the bench to post game-high totals of 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Jahvon Quinerly added 18 points and Jaden Shackelford scored 12, although he made only 5 of 17 shots. Alabama survived 7 of 31 shooting from the 3-point arc because it earned a 43-35 advantage on the boards and shored up its defense.
Tennessee made only 34.9 percent of its attempts from the field, including 7 of 29 on 3-pointers, and was only 9 of 31 in the second half. Nkamhoua scored 15 points to pace the short-handed Volunteers, who played without two starters. Santiago Vescovi added 13 before fouling out and Zakai Zeigler chipped in 11.
The pregame storyline concerned Tennessee's lineup changes. Forward John Fulkerson, who scored 24 points when the Volunteers handed Arizona its first loss on Dec. 22, and leading scorer Kennedy Chandler stayed home due to COVID-19 protocol.
But Tennessee still controlled most of the first half, even though Alabama took a 12-7 lead at the 12:38 mark when Quinerly stroked a 3-pointer. A 12-2 run put the Volunteers ahead 21-16 when Nkamhoua put back his own missed shot.
Brandon Huntley-Hatfield turned a Tide turnover into a layup with 3:23 left to give Tennessee a 33-23 advantage. However, Alabama had the last word, scoring the half's final 10 points and forging a tie at intermission when Shackelford drained a transition 3-pointer.
