Kerry is an ex-international athlete who progressed from junior to senior level, and competed in both sprints and horizontal jumps. She was invited to elite training sessions with World 400m Record Holder Michael Johnson, and was selected as one of the faces of the online "Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games" campaign as a potential competitor at the games.
In 2007, when her international athletics career came to an end due to injury, she gained coaching qualifications to stay somewhat involved, but ultimately was driven to enhance her understanding of the body's capabilities and limitations, and studied a BSc Honours in Physiology in relation to Sport at Glasgow University. This in turn led her to further study both Swedish and Remedial & Sports Massage, (a therapy she had greatly relied upon as an athlete) at the accredited Scottish Massage Schools.
In attaining these qualifications, Kerry is now a registered member of the Scottish Massage Therapists Organisation (SMTO), and these diplomas have greatly helped in her understanding of the vast range of benefits this type of therapy aids in – from pain relief, to relaxation to bettering sporting performance.
Experience wise, Kerry has had the opportunity to work with the New Zealand All Blacks and was recommended to work with the Australian Wallabies. She was also given the opportunity to work with the Edinburgh Rugby Team which involved working with some of the Edinburgh-based 6 Nations players. Kerry has also worked with the Scotland 7s and South African 7s Rugby teams, the Scotland Woman's Rugby team, the Edinburgh Capitals Ice Hockey Team and some players from both Ayr RFC and Marr RFC.
In the last year, Kerry has worked with former professional footballers, Strictly Come Dancing stars, and various Olympians across a multitude of sports. She also worked at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games as a Sports Massage Practitioner in the Medical Team in the Athletes Village providing massage to the athletes across all of the competitive disciplines.
In amongst all of this work, Kerry became certified in Advanced Remedial Massage for the lumbar and cervical spine at the accredited Western School, became certified in Spinal Manipulation, as well as completing Levels 1 & 2 of the Kinesiology Taping course. Kerry continues to run her own clinic in Ayr, but is very much looking forward to being part of the friendly Achilles Heel Clinic Team!

SEE ALSO: Top 25 Rankings | Latest RPI | How They Fared
Mark: What has to happen to have Beavs or Cardinal top 8 seed?
Kendall Rogers: Personally, I think either the Cardinal or Beavers have to win the Pac 12 regular season crown, and I just don't see the pathway right now unless UCLA stinks it up the final weekend of the regular season. I would have teams like Texas Tech, ECU and even Oklahoma State ahead of those two teams in the pecking order. Not impossible, but difficult to get there, IMO.
Bob Pechtel: Does ECU have to win the AAC Tournament to get a Top 8 National Seed?
Kendall Rogers: Bob — I don't think ECU has to win the conference tournament to get in, but I do think if ECU wins the conference tourney, it makes it incredibly difficult for the committee not to give CG's club a Top 8 seed. Right now, I think it's ECU or Ga. Tech for that final Top 8 spot. It's razor thin at this point.
Jake: Have the Aggies nailed down a host spot? If not, what do they need to do this week? Is a national seed possible with an SEC tournament championship?
Kendall Rogers: Jake — I don't think the Aggies have nailed it down, but they've put themselves in a position of strength after that series win over Arkansas. The Aggies have solid metrics and have a strong RPI as well. I think a win over Florida puts them in very strong shape, while a loss would open the door for someone to swoop in and take the host. It's that close IMO.
Avent'sAgent: With the domination of UNC in Games 2 & 3 of the weekend series, does NC State have a hosting slot locked up?
Aaron Fitt: I'd stop just short of saying completely locked up, because there are a bunch of strong contenders for those last two spots, and if NC State goes 0-2 in Durham I could see the Wolfpack getting passed over, if somebody else jumps up and takes it. But I really like their chances.
Hooper: At 35-20 and 17-13 in the ACC, has FSU done enough to make a regional or do they need to win a game or two in the ACC tournament?
Kendall Rogers: Hooper — I would not want to go winless in the ACC tournament and leave my fate up the committee. I would say the bubble is extremely soft right now so FSU looks to be in solid shape, but I would leave no doubt and win a game or two in the tournament. Win two games in the ACC tourney and I think 11's boys are fine barring an insane rash of stolen bids.
Aaron Fitt: I'll take it a step further: if they win two games in Durham, they're in for sure, bank on it. If they win one game, I think they're in pretty good shape, given the state of the bubble. 0-2, and they'll be sweating for sure.
TCU17: Who is the favorite heading into Oklahoma City this weekend: Texas Tech or Oklahoma State? Chances TCU can make a run?
Aaron Fitt: I think Tech is clearly the favorite, but you have to like the way Oklahoma State has played down the stretch, and they'll have the fans behind them, so definitely a strong contender there. I don't expect TCU to make a run, but you never know.
Max G.: What is the latest with UCSB's bid for playing in Las Vegas if they host a regional?
Kendall Rogers: Max – Last I heard they had an agreement with Las Vegas and the contract was soon to be signed. I will check again this week but would be shocked if anything has changed in terms of where they'd host. Vegas it is!
Caleb: Hey guys, ECU has played great all year but how do you think they will do in the conference tourney? They play a good Wichita State team that they struggled against. If they win that game they have to play the winner of the Houston vs. UConn game. Two really good teams. Do you think this will be a tough challenge for the pirates?
Aaron Fitt: ECU is clearly the overwhelming favorite — I mean, they went 20-4 and won the league by seven games. That doesn't mean they can't get upset, but I'm certainly not betting on that to happen.
Jaysker: I hate what ifs but if Creighton sweeps through the Bigeast tournament is there still a shot they can host? I know it's a weak conference but if they end the season with an RPI in the 16-23 range is that enough? At least to be in the discussion?
Aaron Fitt: Yes, they'd definitely be right in the discussion if they can win the Big East tournament, coupled with their regular-season crown, good RPI and a respectable 6-2 record against the top 50. It would depend what the other host candidates do, though. Creighton can only control its own games, it has no control over what a Miami or a Texas A&M do, for instance. And those teams still have better resumés.
Rebel Swag: Ole Miss fans are disappointed and frustrated with this program, we'll see how things go down the stretch. I don't think this is likely, but would making it to Saturday or Sunday in the SEC tournament put the Rebs back into regional host discussion?
Kendall Rogers: Rebel — As crazy as it sounds, yes, the Rebels would be back into the discussion. They could have four wins in the tourney, which would greatly increase the RPI and put them at 20 wins in the SEC overall.
Devin: Should Razorback fans be concerned about the number of strikeouts from this past weekend and the way the starters looked outside of Campbell?
Kendall Rogers: Devin — I do have some concerns about the two young arms in the weekend rotation in the postseason, but I'm absolutely not thinking they lose a regional or super. I am just curious to see how they perform. As for the offense, we will see how they perform this week. The offense looked awesome in the series finale against the Aggies. The Aggies can really, really pitch, though.
Mark – Oklahoma: Have you ever seen a team with that finishes a season without a single RPI Q4 game? (150-299) resulting in an average RPI Win of 64th? Do you think Oklahoma State already has a regional host in stone? What do they need to do to secure a top 8 seed?
Aaron Fitt: That is very unusual — but they've played 25 Q2 games, so I guess that makes sense. They're a lock to host, no question about that. And with a No. 8 RPI, they're definitely in the top-eight seed mix if they can make a nice run in OKC. I think their best shot is for Georgia Tech and ECU to stumble in conference tournaments, because I don't see OK State jumping over Texas Tech or Louisville, teams that won their regular-season crowns, or any of the clear-cut top five (UCLA, Vandy, MSU, Arkansas and Georgia).
jimmy: Is Nebraska a lock for the tournament now that they won the Michigan series?
Kendall Rogers: Jimmy — You never want to go 0-2 in your conference tournament, but I tend to think Nebraska is in strong shape no matter what right now. Solid RPI, made a point to play (and win) games out of conference, finished strong in their league. A lot of things to like right now, IMO. Kudos to Coach Erstad and Co. for turning things around when their situation looked a little bleak.
HburgGator: I know you'll probably get this question from more than 1 person today, but what does Florida have to do? Impressive win at Missouri (hadn't lost a home SEC series this season) this weekend where pitching really showed the potential we all hoped. Is there any chance that they are in with a first round loss in Hoover? They need to win 1? Win 2? RPI and SOS are in their favor with series wins over FSU (sweep) and Miami. Thanks!
Aaron Fitt: Yeah, because the bubble is so soft, I think Florida is probably safe if it can win that play-in game vs. Texas A&M. Even if the Gators lose, they're not dead in the water, because there are a number of teams with worse resumés that we currently have projected to get in. But I would not feel good about their chances at 13-18 in the SEC…
Chuck Reeder: What round is Drake Fellows expected to be drafted next month?
Aaron Fitt: I'd say probably 4-6.
Manuel: In your opinion, are LSU and A&M fighting for the same hosting slot? Or do you believe the committee would allow both teams to host, resulting in the SEC getting six host sites (which seems a bit improbable to me)?
Aaron Fitt: I do think both of them can host, if they play well this week. Both finished with solid regular-season records in the SEC, they both have a ton of top 50 wins (that 19-14 top 50 mark for LSU is loud, although its 7-13 road record is a problem, and helps explain its more modest RPI). The SEC has gotten 7 hosts before, so I don't think 6 is too improbable.
Joe LeCates: Thank you for the chat, guys. It felt like a statement weekend from Garrett Mitchell who looked like a stone-cold star against Washington. He's a good player for sure, but do you guys see him as someone who steps up to the level of being say a top 5-10 college talent?
Aaron Fitt: Hey Joe — yes, very loud weekend for Mitchell, who has had a really outstanding season. I keep getting reports from people out West raving about how good he's become. He's always had the tools and the body, and now the results are there too. I definitely think he could be a top-10 pick next year.
Jordan: Which championship does the committee take into consideration more, a regular season or tournament championship?
Aaron Fitt: Definitely the regular season, as it should. One weekend should not overshadow a season-long body of work. Teams can still help or hurt their cases in the conference tournaments, but I think it's telling that the committee considers overall conference record including regular-season and conference tournament games. That shows you how they view the conference tournament: just an extension of the overall body of work, rather than a crucial championship of its own.
Bobbruinbear : Here's my final list for PAC 12 entrants to the 64: 1. UCLA 2. STANFORD 3.OREGON STATE 4. CALIFORNIA 5. ARIZONA STATE 6. OREGON (if they Win their final series with UCLA) Agree or disagree)
Aaron Fitt: Agree with the top 5… but even if Oregon takes 2 out of 3 from UCLA, I don't like their chances — they'd still be just 12-18 in the Pac. No way they get in with that conference record. They'd have to sweep the Bruins to have a shot. And that ain't happening. Five-bid league, with Arizona as the potential sixth team if it can sweep Washington State. But even then, I don't like Arizona's chances with a 3-16 record against the top 50…
Eric Simmons : Is Florida back in the at large discussion after that enormous road sweep of Missouri? I think they are!
Kendall Rogers: Eric — We would have Florida in right now. The Gators have OK metrics in the Top 100 range and possess a solid RPI. Obviously losing to A&M tomorrow would complicate things, but UF is likely in as of right now. Sully and the Gators will be sweating out those stolen bids throughout the week, though.;
Cody: Why is Tennessee still not ranked in the top 25? The resume screams top 25, and yet we hear they are a bubble team. RPI-11, SOS-5, and a record of 38-18.
Aaron Fitt: They're definitely not a bubble team anymore — that's an ironclad lock as a No. 2 seed in a regional. And they definitely have a Top 25 case too; probably No. 26 on our board right now. But it is still a losing SEC record, so we chose to reward a couple top-25 RPI teams that won their regular season championships instead.
Rusvegas: Louisiana Tech sitting at 53 in the RPI. What do they need to do to give themselves a chance short of winning conference tournament
Kendall Rogers: Louisiana Tech — Right now, the thing that holds La Tech back is the conference record and the distance behind FAU and Southern Miss in the conference standings. That's a crutch right now. However, La Tech has the ability to rectify that at the C-USA tournament. I do think Tech is one of those teams that'll rate well with the RAC.
Joe LeCates: Fittsy, more of a prospect q; in following that Cal/ASU series it made me wonder, do Torkelson and Vaughn essentially profile the exact same at the next level? Vaughn a little better hit tool, Torkelson a bit more raw power as the difference?
Aaron Fitt: That's a pretty good call, Joe. Although don't sell Vaughn's power short — he's got enormous juice too. I think the power is about a push, and Vaughn gets a tiny edge in the hit tool, and Vaughn is a better defender. But essentially it's the same profile, yes.
Corey: Do you feel that arkansas will still be a national seed after losing on the road at a&m, or does it need a couple of games in Hoover to solidify its seed?
Kendall Rogers: Corey — I think Arkansas could leave its equipment at home and still be a Top 8 seed next week. I would say the final spot in the Top 8 is down to teams like ECU/Georgia Tech/Oklahoma State with Tech/ECU ahead in the race.
Aaron Fitt: To clarify here, I think Kendall's talking about the last two spots. Right now I'd have Texas Tech and Georgia Tech as the last two teams, behind a top six of UCLA, Vandy, Miss State, Arkansas, Georgia and Louisville.
Kevin: Did USM just choke away their at large chances these last two weeks?
Kendall Rogers: Kevin — Southern Miss will need to do some serious damage in the C-USA tournament. The Golden Eagles don't have overly impressive metrics and the RPI is well into the 50s, which typically is a doomsday scenario for C-USA teams. USM just has very little meat on its resume.
seeingidawg: How do you see the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Tourney this week ? could 0-2 hurt the national seed? The bats are coming around…
Aaron Fitt: I think Georgia has a chance to make a real run. Their pitching is so good… they might have the three hardest-throwing starting pitchers in the entire SEC with Hancock, Locey and Wilcox. And it was very encouraging to see them bash Alabama the way they did this weekend, you're right about the bats getting hot at the right time (albeit against lesser pitching this weekend). I've always maintained that Georgia's lineup is better than people give it credit for — I really like the fact that they have a bunch of seasoned, gritty veterans who grind out quality at-bats up and down the lineup. Really think this Georgia team could win it all; might even put them in my top tier of contenders with UCLA, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. (even ahead of Arkansas, for me).
Adam: With the Canes splitting the last four games, did they do enough to get a Regional Host bid? Or do they have to at least either get to the semis or go 1-1 to cement their bid?
Aaron Fitt: I'd like to see them go 1-1 in Durham to lock it up, because there's a lot of competition for those last four hosting spots, and Miami's resumé has some warts (particularly that 5-10 mark against the top 50). It's not easy to separate those last 6-8 teams for the final four spots.
Eric Simmons : If Arizona sweeps Washington State are they in the NCAA Tournament? I think they are!
Kendall Rogers: Eric — The Wildcats are still short for us. Arizona has certainly improved its RPI and is hot. However, the Wildcats are just 3-16 vs. RPI Top 50 and 15-18 vs. RPI Top 100. Those just aren't regional worthy marks at the moment and a series against Washington State won't help that situation. There's a chance thy get in should there basically be no stolen bids, but that's tough to ask or expect.
JP: Does Pierce make staff changes after the last-place finish?
Kendall Rogers: JP — I do not think David Pierce will make any changes at the moment, but we have our ear to the ground on that one. I do think Texas will need to show some serious improvement next season, however. UT should be stout on the mound, but I still think the offense will be a concern unless some of the incoming players are big-time hitters. Bizarre and disappointing season for the Longhorns, that's for sure.
Billy G.: I don't understand how Arkansas stays above Georgia in the rankings given they have a weaker overall record, a weaker conference record, a weaker record in weekend series, and a weaker RPI?
Aaron Fitt: We value high-end series wins, and Arkansas has more of them. Georgia has a marquee series win over Vanderbilt, 2/3 vs. LSU, a sweep of suddenly bubble-dwelling Missouri, a sweep of bubble-dwelling Florida, and 2/3 vs. Auburn. Arkansas has a marquee sweep of Mississippi State, a sweep of Tennessee, a sweep of Missouri, 2/3 at Auburn and 2/3 vs. LSU. So the sweeps of MSU and Tennessee are the difference, helping to explain why Arkansas is 12-6 vs. the top 25, while Georgia is 11-10. We're splitting hairs here — they've both elite, and it doesn't really matter how you order them.
Bdevil Bob: What does Duke need to do in the ACC Tournament to make it into the field of 64?
Aaron Fitt: It depends on the size of the bubble — right now we have Duke in rather comfortably, not even one of our last five teams in, because the bubble is so weak. If that continues to be the case, I think a 1-1 showing in the ACC tourney will get the Devils in. But 0-2 would probably put them behind the 8-ball, considering they've lost 7 of their last 9 games, and that would make it 9 of their last 11. Momentum matters too.
Garth Brooks: Who is your SEC coach of the year?
Aaron Fitt: I think I have to go with Tony Vitello. Tennessee hasn't made a regional since 2005, and he's ending that drought this year. Just making the SEC tournament has been a major challenge for this program over the last decade. What he's done in short order with the Vols is very loud.
Jim: Does Texas State have to win the Sun Belt conference to qualify or have they've done enough to get in regardless?
Kendall Rogers: With the way the bubble is right now, I think Texas State would get in no matter what if the season ended today. However, the Bobcats need to avoid stinking it up at the Sun Belt tourney. Don't give the committee a reason to leave you out. I do think Texas State passes the eyeball test — that's a really solid team, IMO.
Matt-a-Dore: Kendall, Aaron, as always, love your coverage of the sport we love. This may just be self-indulgent, but even if my VandyBoys go 2-and-done in the SEC tourney, you think we still hold onto a 1 or 2 seed in NCAAs?
Aaron Fitt: Yeah, I think they'd be the 2 seed based on that 23-7 regular-season showing in the SEC. That's really hard to do — they won the overall regular-season race by two games, and that league is loaded. All the metrics are there for them, too. Lock 'em in as the 2.
Cy: Should Mississippi State be a lock for a top 8 seed no matter what happens in the SEC tournament?
Kendall Rogers: Yes. Put it on the board. Mississippi State is a slam dunk Top 8 right now. Those guys or Oklahoma State might be the hottest team in the country at the moment.
Rex in Raleigh: Thanks for the great work you guys produce. Does the committee seed the No. 2 seeds like they do the 1s 1-16? For instance, if NCSU is one of the last 1-2 hosts, would it be reasonable to expect a top-20 club like Ole Miss or A&M/LSU that just missed a host to be sent to Raleigh? Or is the seeding still more geographically based?
Kendall Rogers: Rex — I do think they try to do that at times, but for the most part, it's all about geography for the most part outside of the No. 1 seeds if there's a good fit.
Tech fan: Do you think GT has a actual chance to win the World Series.
Aaron Fitt: I'm skeptical that Tech has the arms to win the whole enchilada. But if those bats stay hot through the month of June, look out. They can definitely do some damage.
Jeffrey: Does DBU have a chance at hosting a regional?
Kendall Rogers: Jeffrey — the RPI is in striking distance at 24, and should the Patriots roll through the Missouri Valley tournament, along with teams like A&M/LSU/UCSB scuffling over the next week, that could open the door for a team like DBU. DBU has nine wins vs. RPI Top 50, which is a pretty solid mark for MVC clubs. I would say they aren't going to host right now, but there's potential there if a few things break their way.
FC: What is Tennessee's chances of hosting if they win a couple in Hoover?
Aaron Fitt: You really need to finish with a winning record in conference games just to have a shot to host. Which means even if they go 4-2, they'll still be just .500 in league (18-18). I don't think it's gonna happen unless they can win the SEC tournament.
Pete: Where does Ok State fall in the hosting picture right now? On the verge of top 8?
Kendall Rogers: Pete — Oklahoma State is a slam dunk to be a Top 16 host right now, IMO. Outstanding finish, good conference finish and record, strong RPI. All the pieces you want in your favor, the Pokes have right now. As for the Top 8, I do think OSU is clearly behind teams like Texas Tech/ECU and Georgia Tech, but go on a roll in OKC and things def could change.
Heel: After back to back bad weekends, is UNC destined to be the 2 seed in Greenville?
Aaron Fitt: I think they're destined to be a 2 seed somewhere, and Greenville is a possibility for sure. But it might also make sense for the committee to send one of the many SEC 2 seed candidates to Greenville, and give the Pirates an ACC 3 seed like a Duke or Virginia or Clemson. There are more SEC teams on the 2 line and more ACC teams on the 3 line, so that could keep UNC out of Greenville, potentially.
Eric Simmons : I think 4 Big Ten teams make the NCAA Tournament what do you think? My 4 teams are Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Nebraska
Kendall Rogers: Eric — That's the right four, though I would keep an eye on Michigan if it doesn't play well in the Big Ten tournament. Michigan might meet the eye test and have a solid league record, but it lacks meat on its resume.
Banti: Is UCSB still hosting in Vegas if they drop a game this weekend to Cal Poly?
Kendall Rogers: I would expect UCSB to still be a host early this week but things could certainly change later this week. UCSB has dominated its schedule, and we think, for now, the committee will reward that despite having no games against RPI Top 50 teams. We'll see if things change.
Jeff: With one week to go, is it time to consider where UCLA's regular season ranks among the best ever (if they finish with another series win)? A few other teams have had better records, like Oregon St. a couple years ago, but none did it against a top notch SOS and took down this many good teams.
Aaron Fitt: Glad you brought that up, Jeff — you are spot-on. The Beavers went 49-4 in the regular season in 2017, and that was probably the best regular season in a long time… but they were just 10-0 against the top 50, and 6-0 vs. the top 25. UCLA this year is 10-3 vs. the top 25, 17-6 vs. the top 50. That's a significant difference, considering UCLA also hasn't lost a weekend series or even a single midweek game. If the Bruins win that last series against Oregon, and especially if they sweep it, I think you can make a compelling case that this regular season has been better than OSU's 2017 campaign.
SoonerinAustin: If my Sooners go 2-1 in the Big12 championship do you have them in the postseason? I just cannot think that the Big12 would only be a 4 team league.
Kendall Rogers: Sooner — If the Sooners win two or three games in the Big 12 tournament, I do have a feeling they'll be in the field of 64. Oklahoma's resume is a little light right now, but winning some games in the league tourney likely would rectify that situation to an extent.
Darrell: 4 SEC teams with 20+ conference wins!?!? That's not supposed to happen. Is it just me, or is it top heavy this year in the SEC and around other conferences around the nation? There seems to be a huge gap between national seeds and everyone else
Aaron Fitt: I think the SEC is indeed top-heavy. People keep talking about this being the best SEC in years… I mean, those three teams at the bottom were pretty bad, and Florida was not very good, and Missouri had a solid year but at the end of the day is still just 13-16-1, and Ole Miss scuffled late, and LSU has been up and down… It's certainly the deepest conference in the country, but is it really any deeper than it is in an average year for the SEC? This league almost always has 10-11 regional-caliber teams, even though it usually gets 8-10 bids.
The One: Who is a dark horse to win the SoCon tournament in Greenville SC?
Aaron Fitt: I'll go with UNC Greensboro. Not nearly as explosive offensively as in past years but still have some nice pieces in the lineup, and Chad Sykes is an enormous difference maker at the back of the bullpen. But the smart money is still on Samford, of course.
Kendall Rogers: All right guys. I have to pack up and get ready to head to the airport for the SEC tournament. Remember, be sure to Subscribe to D1Baseball and use the promo code 2019Spring to get 25% off an annual subscription. — http://www.d1baseball.com/subscribe
Tiger4Life54: What are Clemson's chances of making the NCAA Tournament after this weekend? With a win against BC? And/or a win against Louisville? Thanks and Go Tigers!!!
Aaron Fitt: As soft as the bubble is, I think Clemson's in very good shape right now. Now that the RPI has jumped back up to No. 37, and they managed to finish 15-15 in the ACC, they're clearly ahead of other ACC bubble teams like FSU, Duke, Virginia and Wake Forest. Assuming they win at least one game in Durham, they're definitely safe, I think. And they could still get in with an 0-2 showing, given the weakness of this bubble.

History of Music Theory, Part One
I am not interested in the details of the hurly-burley of any particular era, but rather want to understand what is the essence of western art music's compositional heritage: I want to understand the gist of the tradition since I am ostensibly a part of it. Having already done study in this area on and off for over fifteen years, I already have a very good idea of the points I want to get across, so I won't be taking too much time with Riemann, but I will point out interesting tidbits as they come up and as they support the broader points I will be making.
Back to my study.

The parents of Aussie model Sinead McNamara, who was found dead on a superyacht docked in Kefalonia last week, are still in search of the exact causes of the 20-year-old's death. The blonde Instagram model was found hanging on the "Queen IV's" luxury yacht that belongs to Mexican billionaire Alberto Baillères.
According to a statement released by the attorney-at-law of the family, Mrs. Charalambos Triantafyllopoulos, the 20-year-old from Australia did not face any problems and had frequent contact with her family. The parents, however, are requesting via their legal representative to from the Greek authorities to learn what exactly happened in the yacht for those critical moments leading up to her death on Thursday last week.
In the statement released by their representative, the parents claim their daughter had, in fact, called them the fatal night before she died, complaining about an incident that had happened with another crew member.

What is the human condition? Humanity seems quite insane. What is the root of that insanity?
Our core problem is the fact that we feel separate. We are ego, but we are not only ego. We need to evolve into the realization that we are much more than that.
There are two parts to that evolution. The first part is the realization that we are identified with an ego, time based self, and that we can drop that identity. The second part is the practice of coming back to this moment (leaving ego) over and over again every time you realize you are lost, until it becomes normal. Every problem comes down to this, and is fixed once we realize and act on this.
Discussed lots of the old shows and mentioned briefly how they relate to this core condition.
Lastly, as we learn what our ego is, and that we can drop it, we realize that we can change the human condition. The fact that it is only a "condition" and not an absolute, or permanent, state of being is a wonderful thing.

Are you running "echo rgb off > /dev/input/ckb1/cmd" ? If you were writing to ckb0 or didn't use that exact path, the command won't do anything. If you run the ckb program with an animation (like "bin/ckb ripple white blue") does that work? If so, you should be able to turn it off with "bin/ckb solid black" as well.
Yes it works but the problem is, once i start the ripple effect i need to CTRL+C it to stop it and then i can change the colors.
but yeh i didnt know of the command "echo rgb off > /dev/input/ckb1/cmd", thanks that works now
Lovely program thanks
Still getting the strange issue where F keys seem to have weird mappings after i kill the daemon and restart it.
Maybe you have noticed this as well, but if you kill the daemon the keyboard still works fine. F key bindings are also correct.
But as soon as you restart the driver without unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in, the F keys are always messed up.
Certainly not a massive issue though.
Appreciate the work as always
You do have to stop ckb and restart it in order to change the animation, that's a limitation of the current version. I'm going to start work on a better utility very soon so you won't have to do that anymore.
Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to bind the M1,M2 and M3 keys to the different profiles stored on the keyboard?
Yes, but indirectly. I added an ability to generate a notification when a keypress occurs. My plan for it is to have a (much better) ckb utility store all the profiles/modes as user settings, including animations and other effects. So the ckb utility will tell the daemon to print a notification whenever an M-key is pressed, and then as soon as it receives that notification it switches modes. There are one or two things left that I need to implement in the daemon (mostly the ability to print out the RGB settings from the hardware) but I'll get started on the new user utility in the next 2-3 days.
Hi there,
great to see someone working on the Linux drivers! Did I understand it correctly, that this keyboard gets unresponsive on a vanilla Linux install, as soon as you press a special / macro key?
Also, for the Linux support, have you taken a look at hidraw (kernel module)? It passes raw HID events directly to userspace - they don't get processed in contrast to hiddev. You wouldn't need to de-attach the keyboard from the hid-generic kernel module, so general stuff can still be done using it. You can talk to the keyboard via HID feature requests.
Keep up the great work!
MSC, congratulations on writing this driver! It is working very good on my K70 and I very much appreciate it. If you have need for any K70 testing pm me.
So the last week little by little i have been writing a new lighting effect, and now that its complete i'd like show it to you guys and ask for oppinions. The effect is called Life and its based on a evloutionary cell game called Conways Game of Life.
The idea was to create an effect much like MSC-s random effect, that will always change the lighting to something different and interesting, but won't be too flashy so that it draws your attention off the screen. I have also made it interactive so that each key (cell) you press comes to life and then interacts with its environment (surrounding keys) and continues the cycle of life.
When the effect is run, life is generated randomly and lives on for 30-60 sec, and then it dies out (except for still life, wiki it). After that every live cell and any interactions between them are the direct result of your typing, so it is a interactive lighting effect with its own little game running with rules and so on. If youre interested read the wiki.
It is not very flashy and fabolous as most of the windows effects, but that was exactly the intention so that its pretty and interesting for everyday use and not showcasing 16m colours to friends.
The effect is only beta now. I have integrated it into MSCs ckb program as one of the available effect so that , if he doesnt mind, he can include it in his future releases. I have forked it so you can compile it and try out, and i would like to hear your opinions on it.
There is only one problem with the effect right now and that is the key press reader. Since MSC hasnt integrated a keypress reader API or smthing like it i have written a function that will read directly from the input files, on my ubuntu located on /dev/input/event0-9. The program probes these files if they are keyboard input files, and if they are starts reading from them. I have no idea how that will function on other linux systems, let alone mac, so feel fre to post your problems and lets hope that MSC will make a real system for this and not this junk that i use for reading.
EDIT: I just saw that you included some keypress notifications in the last release, i will check tomorrow if i can use them for keypres reports.
I added another video demonstrating two oscilators and two forms of still life, since the initial video is pretty boring.

Dude, that's brilliant. Love it!
I had an idea, once I write a better user-level utility, to have a setting where it can get the animation data by running a custom program. So it would write something to the program's stdin pipe every time it wants a frame (or could be configured to write on keypress), and it would get the RGB data from the stdout pipe, or something like that. Any thoughts on that? Should be a lot easier than reading the event device directly. I'd love to include this one if you don't mind.
Incidentally, OSX doesn't have this issue (in fact, I do make use of OSX's native HID driver), so it's definitely operating system specific. Even weirder is the fact that it's usually not enough just to detach the driver; the keyboard often requires 1-3 USB resets *after* claiming the device before normal communication can occur. It's not every time, though, just most of the time. It's a very strange firmware issue and, like I said, I don't think it's worth the time to debug. I'll definitely look into using hidraw if the firmware is ever fixed, though.
First, thank you so much for the work you have done with this! I know how to use the ckb application to change lighting and etc, but how do we work in reactive lighting? I would just like to accomplish something as simple as when you press a key, it goes white, then fades back to off or some other color. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks again!
Edit: I also just noticed that when I run ckb and have it set to a wave, then try to type fast (even just hitting the backspace key to delete a sentence or two) it drops keys like crazy and only sends keypresses at ~5 times a second even if I'm hitting the key at least twice that speed.
Last edited by CorpNewt; 11-14-2014 at 09:59 PM.
Reactive lighting is coming soon. I haven't experienced any issues with dropped keys. Is this happening on Linux or on OSX? Do you have the rate switch on your keyboard set to 1ms? If it's caused by animations, you might try starting ckb-daemon with "sudo bin/ckb-daemon --fps=30" to see if that fixes it. I don't think the animations can interfere with the input anymore, but there might be something happening at a hardware level too. I'll take another look at the code and see if there's anything else I can do to improve it.
I tried with the polling switch on both extremes to no avail. I will try with "sudo bin/ckb-daemon --fps=30" and see if that helps. The OS I'm running into issues on is OSX. I will post back when I have more info for you.
Hmm, alright. I haven't had any problems with the animations under OSX, but let me know what you find. One other question: have you plugged this keyboard into a Windows PC to do a firmware update? The keyboards don't ship with the latest firmware AFAIK. I'm considering adding a firmware update to ckb in case the older firmware has more bugs, but if you've already updated it then that wouldn't be the issue.
I just got back from work so I will try and switch the fps on the mac side. I dual boot windows and Mac OSX. I am running the latest firmware (1.15). I will let you know what I find out tonight. Thanks again for your help.
Edit: I just tried it with --fps=30 and that seems to have cleared up the issue.

Interesting, didn't realize that would cause problems. I'll make a note of that.
I finally got a Qt-based UI started. Build instructions are completely different now, so check the readme again. It's not much of an improvement over the old command-line utility, but it does offer the ability to adjust colors and framerate on the fly and it can run in the background without having to keep a terminal open. I'll make an install script for the daemon soon so that you won't have to run it separately.

A top Israeli military and energy official has questioned Israel and China's growing economic ties just as a Chinese company is set to begin operating Haifa Port as part of a major 25-year contract previously struck in 2015.
"When China acquires ports," Israeli Brigadier General Shaul Horev began in an interview this week with national news source, Arutz Sheva, "it does so under the guise of maintaining a trade route from the Indian Ocean via the Suez Canal to Europe, such as the port of Piraeus in Greece. Does an economic horizon like this have a security impact?"
Gen. Horev, who has also served as navy chief of staff and chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, continued to sound the alarm over a Chinese takeover, "We are not weighing that possibility sufficiently. One of the senior American figures at the conference raised the question of whether the U.S. Sixth Fleet can see Haifa as a home port. In light of the Chinese takeover, the question is no longer on the agenda."
He is calling for an Israeli security mechanism that that will review and scrutinize Chinese investments in Israel and the Mediterranean to ensure they don't harm the security interests of Israel or its partners, like the United States.
Chinese military ship at Haifa port in 2012.
The Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) will manage Israel's largest port at Haifa as part of a contract to be inagurated in 2021, which will run for 25 years. Meanwhile a separate Chinese firm was recently awarded a contract to construct a new port in the southern Israeli city of Ashdod.
According to various reports China has been spending roughly $150bn a year in the countries involved in its massive Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) which seeks to link Asia, Europe, and Africa in a vast Chinese-underwritten free trade infrastructure. Mediterranean outposts like Haifa are a key link in this corridor, a corridor which China hopes will be fully established as a "21st century Silk Road" by 2049.
But as we've noted recently, major multi-billion dollar infrastructural projects in host counties could come at a cost, namely it could open the door to Chinese spying and expanding influence of its security services.

Benthic Community Recovery from Small-Scale Damage on Marginal Caribbean Reefs: An Example from Panama
The frequency of small-scale physical damage to coral reefs is likely to increase as fishing and tourism pressures intensify. Predicting how reefs will respond to the effects of these types of damage requires empirical exploration, especially on reefs that are already heavily degraded. We replicated small-scale damage on four reefs that live close to their ecophysiological tolerance limits in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago of Caribbean Panama and quantified their recovery over 2 yrs. On each reef we cleared five replicate 1 × 1-m plots of all living benthos simulating physical damage by boat grounding, anchoring, or fishing practices. Recovery of the benthic community was quantitatively monitored and compared to adjacent non-cleared plots (treated as a control) every 6 mo. After 2 yrs, only one of the reefs exhibited evidence of recovery of the cleared plots. Poor recruitment of benthos appeared to slow down recovery of cleared plots on another reef. The other two reefs showed unequivocal shifts toward a macroalgae-dominated system, suggesting that small-scale disturbances could have lasting impacts on marginal reefs. We found no clear contemporary or historical environmental signal that could explain the differential dynamics of recovery amongst these reefs.

I have waited so much longer for this baby's arrival than I thought I would ever have to! We are in the final stretch of waiting, however… I thought I would sit down, open a vein and write about my thoughts and feelings at this point.
The Lord has given me a number of small encouraging words in the past couple of weeks, to help me through each day. Here are a few:
God has a wonderful plan for her birth, and He knows her birthday. I had really struggled with feeling like this birth experience, no matter how healthy, might be as traumatic as my first birth experience. So much labor, then a c-section anyway… or perhaps my body refusing to labor at all. There was something about this "word" which encouraged me to remember that God has planned good for me and my baby, not evil. This is not to say that bad can't happen, but more to say that he can use it for good, like so many other times in my life. I can stand on the truth of that and throw out those fears with much confidence.
She is worth it! So many times when I hit a rough spot in life, I throw up my hands and say "I just want to be done!" or "Why do we have to go through this?! I just want to be at home in heaven where there is no more pain, suffering, swollen feet, sore belly or body, or hormonal upheaval." I am learning to hold fast to that beautiful lyric "I am blessed beyond the curse" and claim that my daughter is worth it! My children and family are worth it. And, in doing that, I often find the grace that God talks about providing in these rough times.
One Day at a Time. I have to let go sometimes of the "what if" or "when" of this pregnancy. It's not so much a control issue as a worry issue. I really tend to fear too much and here God meets me in that and calls me out into trusting him and walking each moment… all on its own… am I in labor now? No? So why worry about it?
Those are just a couple. I have many more, but in the interest of not boring you with my ongoing emotional preggo crap which, quite honestly, bores me at times… I will just say that I am looking forward to being on the other side of this. Yes, and I am thankful that I can feel that feeling — so many times I have seen others walk through a storm which has no definite end in sight… and that takes even more grace and clinging to the truths that God provides us than I have had to do… I admire those "Job" hearts to no end.

Today started out as the perfect day for a new project. I've been toying around with something I spied online somewhere and wanted to look into it more today – as well as get the instructions for some other projects. The problem with everything being digital these days? When there is an internet outage (thanks, Comcast) I can't do anything I wanted to do. Grr. Obviously I managed and the internet is connected once again. However, a second problem presented itself. Yesterday we noticed a leak in one of our windows – there is so much snow and ice the water has no place to go when it does melt a bit, and it's coming inside. Today we've had awful (perfect-new-project) weather – a bit of snow, and a lot of freezing rain / sleet. So today I've had a constant drip drip drip soundtrack and pots to keep an eye on.
Not good for projects. I have switched these pots out actually for a big ol true value 5-gallon bucket (I think, it might be 10-gallon) and the new water-canner I got for Christmas. Hoping to cut down on the splatter. This is beyond infuriating.
So, some levity is needed. A cousin gave the Lorax a box of princess dress-up clothes. The Princesses. Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.
Another cousin gave her a microphone. Ladies and gentlemen, the princesses have landed.
We have spent the last week or so rotating among the costumes – she wears them constantly. The dialogue (mostly one-sided, from her.) "Mommy what does Snow White say?" Um… I think she says someday my prince will come. "Ok"…. "Mommy I want to be Cinderella" Ok. "Mommy, sing the song *Cinderelly! Cinderelly! Clean the dishes! Sweep the floors!"
I've shown her only a handful of minutes of you tube video clips of cinderella (the mice singing) – gotta try and track down the dvd. More to come on the princesses and the "Thank-goodness-I-have-a-WIP-with-a-hard-copy-pattern-already-printed-out" project that I did finish today.

Regular price
This beautiful, 28 page, full color, art book features 27 pieces of art from my traveling exhibit of the same name. The exhibit is currently on display at the Glore Psychiatric Museum in St. Joseph, MO. The book provides background information and the stories behind each of these works of art. It's a powerful exhibit that deals with topics of abuse, addiction, and mental illness. These works touch nearly everyone in some form or fashion. We ALL have stories and this exhibit connects to your heart! There are two versions available: Hardbound or Spiral BoundFamily Secrets - The Storytelling Art of Steve Head
About this exhibit:
Few would disagree, that life can be hard and this world can be cruel. Many of us bear inward scars, (and sometimes unhealed spiritual wounds), that can go a lifetime - unseen by the rest of the world. I believe we ALL have an untold story. This exhibit represents a few of those stories! Many come from my own family history and from my own personal experiences. I am hopeful, that my art can not only inspire conversations about hard to talk about issues, but give you permission to tell your own story as well.
My Artist Statement:
The essence of every human being is his or her inward spirit. I believe that who we are as a person, is the compilation of every thought, memory and human interaction we have ever experienced. My goal, as an artist, is to create visual expressions of those unseen places of the heart; of the child within; and of those shared experiences that connect our hearts to those around us.

How childhood trauma affects the brain
Beyond cognitive-behavioral therapy for fibromyalgia: addressing stress by emotional exposure, processing, and resolution
comment on the well-designed trial by Alda and colleagues reported in a recent issue of Arthritis Research and Therapy which demonstrated some benefits of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for fibromyalgia (FM). CBT in this and other studies provides statistically significant but rather modest benefits for FM. This may be because CBT does not directly address the high rates of victimization, post-traumatic stress disorder, and emotional avoidance experienced by a substantial number of patients with FM. Interventions that encourage emotional exposure, processing, and resolution of stressful or traumatic experiences and relationships hold potential for larger effects for many patients and need to be tested.

[Friday, 5:45pm]
Client (email): I have some questions about the contract that may require some changes — how late are you going to be at the office?
Me (email): I have to leave the office at 6:30pm, but I'll probably be back online around 7:30pm or so.
[Client calls at 6:00pm]
Client: Please do NOT feel like you need to stay late tonight to work on this. No reason to log in from home on a Friday night on my account! It's totally okay if you get this back to me tomorrow morning.
[We discuss the contract. Client pointedly notes my "value adds" on a couple of issues (suggesting that I added no value on the other issues — despite the fact that I restructured the whole document in a way that he didn't know was possible in order to achieve his desired result)]
Client: Thanks again for your help with this — have a GREAT weekend! I'll watch for the revised draft to come sometime before midday tomorrow.

Because, really, who cares if you have to work on Saturday as long as you get Friday night off? That's always been my definition of a "GREAT" weekend.

HCH is proud to partner with companies like Walton Construction for their dedication in ensuring they are hiring within the communities they serve. Here is Alex's Story…
Growing up in the heart of Los Angeles on Crenshaw Boulevard and 48th Street, a chance encounter would change the path of Alex's life forever.
"One day I happened to be walking to the store, I was about 19 years old and I saw a construction site and walked in."This moment of curiosity led Alex to a face to face meeting with the President of Walton Construction, Tom Gibson to ask for a job.
"I asked if I could work for him", to which Tom replied "possibly, it is your neighborhood." Fast track 19-20 years into the future, Alex has paid his dues. He is currently settled into the position as the Assistant Superintendent for Walton Construction.
"I started as a laborer, lifting, picking up, cleaning, I learned the ins and outs of the jobs, I was willing to learn." Expressing a debt of gratitude toward the man who "took him under his wing," there is no shortage of appreciation for the opportunity and guidance he received.
"I have never experienced a company like Walton , it's a unique design, it is a family, it's structured. If I have a problem, I can call Tom and have a conversation, I thank God when I look back, he was doing for a lot of us and you don't meet people like that too often."
Being a member of the Walton team has allowed Alex to contribute to his community in a big way, among one close to his heart, the Florence Mills Apartment complex, that will bring much needed affordable housing units to the neighborhood. "Anytime your community is being lifted up, it brings a sense of relief."
During Alex's life, he has always valued the importance of self reflection and pride in the evolution of his journey. "Living out here, it's all about survival, but life has changed, I have a new perspective in life, I have a new life. What's around you does not define you, it all comes from within."

USJ's theater program is both challenging and rewarding in its curriculum. Each year, Middle and Upper School students have the opportunity to perform in multiple productions. Whether a student is learning about the history of theater in the classroom or acting on stage, they will become well-rounded in all aspects of our program. As our students grow in their knowledge, they are then able to take advanced classes in which they are instructed on script analysis, scene study, and explore the relationship between visual elements such as design and directing.

New talents and state championship contenders for Indians track and field
What Indians track and field records will fall this time around!
Scappoose will see what 45 new runners, jumpers and throwers can do while its Class 4A state contenders go after the Tribe's next individual championship (the boys have won 17 and the girls have won three) at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon in Eugene.
Mychal Hortert, Matt Shoun, Justice Oman and Stephen Lowe were the latest Indians boys to win it all (in the 1,600-meter relay five years ago), and Charlie Davidson won the girls' 1,500 run the year before that.
"There's a lot of enthusiasm, which is great because the weather hasn't been great," said Dave Harley, Scappoose's coach of 22 years. "We set high, clear expectations, and as soon as the kids buy in, they do a really good job."
The Tribe boys are seven-time Cowapa League champions, and the boys and girls were both eighth at state in pursuit of their first team titles.
The girls came up second in the league to repeat Class 4A champion Astoria.
In the lead for the boys is John Kavulich, a junior who set the boys' school 1,500 run record of 4 minutes, 9.68 seconds last year and wrote the new 3,000 run record (8:44.60) on the way to second — by four hundredths of a second to new North Bend senior Michael Brown — at state.
Michael Gift and Jacob Munoz, a senior and junior, can help the 400 relay get back to state from fourth.
Sawyer Christopher, a junior, improved on his own school javelin record at 192 feet, 11 inches last year, and Nate Maller (171-7), also a junior, is second all-time.
Jake Haddon set the 110 hurdles record (22.94) as a freshman two years ago.
In the girls' circle, Linnaea Kavulich is back as a junior from third in the state 1,500 run, and set the girls' school 3,000 run record (10:26.53) on the way to fifth in Class 4A.
She and Alyssa Spang, a new senior who set the girls' school long jump record (16 feet, 5.75 inches) two years ago, went fourth in the state with the 1,600 relay.
Spang and Mackenzie Ela, a junior, helped set the school 400 relay record (50.61) last spring.
Georgia Benner (a junior), Emily Marquardt and Grace Rieman (seniors) helped to set the girls' school 3,200 relay record (10:41.07).
"[Kids] naturally gravitate toward what they want to do," Harley said. "You see their natural talent and give them a gentle steer, but usually they steer themselves. I always refer to [track and field] as a three-ring circus: Distance runners, sprinters and jumpers, and hurlers."
The Indians are scheduled to open the season against host St. Helens and Class 3A Rainier at 4 p.m. on March 22 at Doc Ackerson Stadium.
