Central Australian School Trip - a great success!
9 August 2017 | General Interest
We flew straight to the heart of Australia to touch down at Uluru airport and sighting the iconic rock in its magnificence out the window of the plane as we descended to land was awe inspiring and the contrast of the beginning and end of the day was noteworthy. The start of the day saw us in dismal, dark Victoria and at the end of the day we were watching the brilliant sun setting on Uluru; a truly remarkable image. Touring Uluru and Kata Juta occupied us the following day before we packed our tents to journey another 400kms to our next destination.
After our next 400km journey, we found ourselves at Watarrka (Kings Canyon), where all students walked the well-worn route up the very steep 100 metre track to the ridge of the canyon. Once reached, students were able to see the incredible view of the valley below. An excited but tired crew of 50 came back and we boarded the bus for the next 400kms to reach Alice Springs, pausing for a 5 minute camel ride which proved to be more than long enough for most people.
The sights of Alice Springs were on display for our two day stop, the Old Telegraph Station provided us with information on the early settlers, along with the life of the indigenous community. We visited the Flying Doctors Service and the School of the Air where we presented funds we had raised, a total of $500, which will assist the incredible team to provide a remarkable service to those in remote areas.
Rex the Snake Man came to visit our campsite with his variety of snakes and lizards, he also gave a presentation on how to survive in the bush when encountering a snake. The chance to hold a thorny devil and a huge python was an opportunity most people did not pass up.
We travelled for 12 hours on our next leg of the journey, to reach Daly Waters, 10 of which we sat in the coach. We had our first experience of sleeping under the stars which highlighted the spectacular night sky of the outback.
Katherine awaited us after a short journey and several stops along the way. Devils Marbles, Mataranka thermal pool and Cutta Cutta caves were enjoyed by all and broke the journey for us, even though it was minimal miles compared to the day prior. The colours of Mataranka waters and the lush foliage surrounding it were welcome after the red sand and small dusty shrubs of the centre. We had reached the start of the Top End and it was noticeable. The ant hills were gradually growing and the landscape was changing, becoming more tropical the further north we travelled.
Another night under the stars followed by a two hour boat cruise up the Katherine Gorge and then a leisurely day, leaving after the cruise and making our way to Kakadu-the township of Jabiru to be precise. We set up the tents, swam in the pool, had tea cooked for us and went to bed. What a life. The next day saw us visiting the world heritage rock art sites which included an image of a thylacine, finishing the day with a 4.30pm sunset cruise on the Yellow Waters river system, where we encountered the incredible crocodiles of Kakadu. Our guide Ryan imparted his vast knowledge of the area to us and allowed us to see a great many beautiful things.
Our journey back to civilization in the city of Darwin had a late start and gave us the chance for a town tour of Jabiru, all of which took approximately 5 minutes as the town is very small and due to become smaller once the mine closes down next year. A visit to the Mindil market to watch the sun set for our last time in the Northern Territory on the iconic beach of Mindil, before wandering through the stalls in search of last minute souvenirs and tasty morsels of kangaroo and camel for dinner.
Our time was up for this year however and we packed our bags and board our plane for the 3000 plus kilometres home. A big thank you to all involved, it was a memorable expereince and one we will cherish.

UAH neurosurgery program boosted by Gamma Knife
Hundreds of patients benefiting from scalpel-free brain surgery in Edmonton
EDMONTON – About 15 per cent of all patients requiring brain surgery at the University of Alberta Hospital (UAH) over the past year were able to undergo a painless, scalpel-free procedure in the facility's state-of-the-art Gamma Knife suite.
To date, about 250 patients from across Alberta and western and northern Canada have benefited from the Scott & Brown Families Advanced Imaging and Gamma Knife Centre, which opened last December. The $17.2-million suite – fully funded by community donors through the University Hospital Foundation (UHF) – enables the radiosurgery team to deliver a highly focused dose of radiation to treat a wide range of disorders, including certain tumours and lesions.
"The Gamma Knife has helped to provide better care for Albertans by reducing pain, reducing risk and improving patient outcomes," Health Minister Sarah Hoffman says. "This new innovative technology also ensures our health system remains cutting edge and poised for the future needs of Albertans."
Traditional neurosurgery can require extended hospital stays, including time in intensive care, and is still required to treat most tumours and lesions due to their size and type.
Gamma Knife neurosurgery replaces a scalpel with beams of gamma rays that are guided with surgical precision, minimizing the impact on normal brain tissues.
As such, Gamma Knife treatment is a gentler alternative to traditional brain surgery and whole brain radiation therapy for illnesses such as metastatic disease, a cancer that has travelled to the brain from elsewhere in the body. Approximately half of the referrals in the first year of Gamma Knife operation have been from the Cross Cancer Institute.
Gamma Knife treatment can also be beneficial for individuals with blood vessel malformations, severe facial pain and certain movement disorders.
"We have patients with lesions or malformations in the brain that may have previously required multiple surgeries and in-hospital stays – but now many patients are able to walk in for Gamma Knife treatment and be home the same day in time for dinner with their families," says Dr. Keith Aronyk,co-director of the Gamma Knife Unit at the UAH.
Mona Nashman received Gamma Knife treatment last December when the suite became operational. The 61-year-old St. Albert woman had a dime-sized brain tumour that was causing debilitating migraines on a weekly basis. She was resistant to have traditional brain surgery to remove it since its proximity to her facial nerve could result in nerve damage and hearing loss.
"I am so grateful this technology and expertise is available in Alberta," says Nashman. "It is incredible to think I had Gamma Knife brain surgery in the morning and was able to spend time with my grandkids the same evening. I haven't had a migraine since the treatment. For me, it is nothing short of a miracle."
Each Gamma Knife patient receives a tailored treatment plan developed by a team comprised of a neurosurgeon, a radiation oncologist, and a medical physicist. The plan is carried out with the support of radiologists, diagnostic imaging technologists, radiation therapists and nurses from the UAH and Cross Cancer Institute.
Treatment time can last between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the tumour or lesion being treated. Most patients return home the same day they receive the treatment and resume normal activities within one to two days. The virtual scalpel leaves no external wound, thereby preventing a risk of infection.
The UHF has raised more than $52 million in cash and pledges since launching the Brain Centre Campaign in 2011, and has recently committed an additional $12 million to support a new, future neuro intensive care unit at the UAH.
"Thanks to amazing community support, we've been able to make incredible investments in brain care. The Gamma Knife and the 3T MRI (which guides the gamma rays) are some of the most advanced pieces of equipment in the world," says Jim Brown, Chair of the University Hospital Foundation Board. Brown and Guy Scott are also co-chairs of the Brain Centre Campaign.
AHS President and CEO Dr. Verna Yiu says the Gamma Knife suite has made a tremendous impact on the neurosurgery program at the UAH.
"Thanks to the strong partnership with the University Hospital Foundation and site leadership at the UAH, Albertans are accessing the best available brain care in the world," Dr. Yiu says.
The University Hospital Foundation raises and manages funds to advance patient care, research and healthcare education at the University of Alberta Hospital, the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute and the Kaye Edmonton Clinic.
Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

All over the world craft brewers are producing excellent, bitter IPAs with both piney citrus subtleties and giant hammers of hops. The distinctive style has gone from a colonial British beer in the 19th century to almost disappearing, only to be revived by a loving cadre of beer geeks and shortly thereafter, becoming one of the most recognized styles in the world.
IPA stands for India Pale Ale, a extra bitter, 19th century evolution of older pale ale recipes from England. The key to these beers is the flavoring from a plant called hops, a vine closely related to hemp that joins it's highly aromatized oils to the wort during the brewing process giving the beers their distinctive flavor and aroma, while adding a natural preservative to the brew.
Beer has been with us for 10,000 years. It's been credited with the rise of agriculture and thus, human civilization itself. Mesopotamian and Egyptian cultures considered beer a holy drink and used it both for rituals and currency. The Romans brought it to northern Europe with their legions, while across the Atlantic, Native Americans brewed with corn, and to the East, the Chinese fermented rice into their own versions similar to Europe's barley-based drink.
In the early medieval period of Europe, the Church began to take over what was a traditionally a housewife's chore, that of brewing. Many of the monks and nuns were educated people (or perhaps just beer nuts like the sort you meet at microbreweries today) who experimented with various herbs, fruits, and flowers. Hops became popular for flavoring beer around 1000 CE, and in the early 16th century, Bavaria passed a law that regulated beer production to three ingredients only: water, malted barley, and hops. (Yeast wouldn't be discovered until 1857.) Hops had come into it's own.
And so had an island kingdom called England, which was already well known in Continental Europe for being a great brewer of ales. As the empire of Britain grew, it's soldiers and sailors and citizens abroad, like all expats, longed for a taste of home. In hot places, beer was difficult to brew, and as the sea voyages got longer, any beer shipped overseas spoiled and became undrinkable. India was not only hot, but a difficult 6 month voyage from the costs of Britain, utterly unsuitable for beer.
Entering onto the stage now is a little known English beer called October Ale. This was a massively hopped pale ale that was meant to be aged for 2 years before drinking. Bow Brewery, under the auspices of a man named Hodgson, sent this October beer off to India, where is was greeted with acclaim. Not long after his success, and with the collapse of England's beer trade with Russia, other breweries began to copy Hodgson's beer. The trial shipments in 1827 were a success, and regular cargoes of the strongly flavored beer flowed out of England to places like Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras.
By 1840, the style had gained the name India Pale Ale, with rising popularity all over Britain, however the IPAs fell out of favor when refrigeration made the need for hops as a preservative redundant. With the rise of craft breweries in the United States in the 1970's, brewers re-discovered this bitter, citrusy ale recipe and ran with it, creating a craze that would eventually spark an IPA revolution in it's own country of origin.
Walk into a bar and order an IPA today and the bartender will most likely hand you a list of options. You'll find American Pale Ales, wheat pale ales, Belgian-style pale ales, rye pale ales, and the very of-the-moment session pales, just to name a few. These new styles vary from that original beer through the use of different hops, grains, and alcohol content. The choices for pale ale outstrip all other ale styles. In April of 2015, Paste Magazine was able to get 116 American-made IPAs to taste, while here in HCMC, the new craft beer bar Rogue Saigon has 9 available- most of which are brewed here in Vietnam. So get out there and get drinking. Let us know what your favorite IPA, APA, or other pale ale is your favorite!

AF-Detroit: Should Detroiters get the COVID-19 Vaccine? (Virtual)
Sixty-one percent of Detroit residents say they are unlikely to take a government-approved COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available, according to a recent survey from the University of Michigan's Detroit Area Neighborhood Study.
Black residents are six times as likely as white residents to say they won't get the COVID-19 vaccine, and women are nearly twice as likely as men to say they won't get the vaccine, although higher levels of income and education increase the chances a resident will get the vaccine when available
Join AF-Detroit on Tuesday, January 26th for a virtual balanced discussion about the COVID-19 vaccine, whether Detroiters should get the vaccine, and the reliability of the testing and results. We are excited to host speakers representing both sides of the issue.

McCartney is the debut solo album by English rock musician Paul McCartney. It was issued on Apple Records in April 1970 after McCartney had resisted attempts by his Beatles bandmates to have the release delayed to allow for Apple's previously scheduled titles, notably the band's Let It Be album. McCartney recorded his album during a period of depression and confusion, following John Lennon's private announcement in September 1969 that he was leaving the Beatles, and the conflict over its release further estranged McCartney from his bandmates. A press release in the form of a self-interview, supplied with UK promotional copies of McCartney, led to the announcement of the group's break-up on 10 April 1970.
McCartney recorded the album in secrecy, mostly using basic home-recording equipment set up at his house in St John's Wood. Mixing and some later recording took place at professional studios in London, which McCartney booked under an alias to maintain anonymity. Apart from occasional contributions by his wife, Linda, he performed the entire album by himself, playing every instrument via overdubbing on four-track tape. In its preference for loosely arranged performance over polished production, McCartney eschewed the sophistication of the Beatles' work with George Martin in favour of a back-to-basics style that partly suggested McCartney's original concept for the Beatles' Let It Be project (then titled Get Back) in 1969.
On release, the album received an unfavourable response from the majority of music critics, partly as a result of McCartney's role in officially ending the Beatles' career. Many reviewers criticised the inclusion of half-finished songs and McCartney's reliance on instrumental pieces, although the love song ''Maybe I'm Amazed'' was consistently singled out for praise. Commercially, McCartney benefited from the publicity surrounding the break-up; it held the number 1 position for three weeks on the US chart compiled by Billboard magazine and peaked at number 2 in Britain. In June 2011, the album was reissued as part of the Paul McCartney Archive Collection. [wikipedia.org]

Basically, there are two things that rock bands do: they make an album and they go on tour. Since Paul McCartney fervently wanted to believe Wings was a real rock band, he had the group record an album or two and then took them on the road. In March of 1976 he released Wings at the Speed of Sound and launched a tour of America, following which he released Wings Over America, a triple-album set that re-created an entire concert from various venues. It was a massive set list, running over two hours and featuring 30 songs, and it was well received at the time, partially because he revived some Beatles tunes, partially because it wasn't the disaster some naysayers expected, and mostly because -- like the tour itself -- it was the first chance that millions of Beatles fans had to hear McCartney in concert properly (the Beatles had toured, to be sure, and had played before millions of people between 1963 and 1966, but as a result of the relatively primitive equipment they used and the frenzied, omnipresent screaming of the mid-'60s teen audiences at their shows, few of those present had actually "heard" the group). Wings were never a particularly gifted band, and nowhere is that more evident than on Wings Over America. Matters aren't really helped by the fact that the large set list gives McCartney full opportunity to show off his vast array of affected voices, from crooner to rocker to bluesman. Also, the repertory, in retrospect, is weighted too heavily toward the recent Wings albums Wings at the Speed of Sound and Band on the Run, which weren't really loaded with great tunes. (It's also hard to believe that there were two Denny Laine vocals so early in the program, or that the concert ended with the plodding rocker "Soily," which was never released on any other McCartney album.) In its defense, the album offers bracing renditions of "Maybe I'm Amazed" -- arguably the best of McCartney's post-Beatles songs and possibly his single greatest composition -- and "Band on the Run," as well as nicely distilling the harder side of his repertory, with a few breaks for softer songs such as "My Love" and "Silly Love Songs"; another highlight is the rippling bass sound, showing off that instrument in a manner closer in spirit to, say, a John Entwistle solo LP than to McCartney's more pop-focused studio work. The triple LP, issued two weeks before Christmas of 1976, was priced so low that it was offered by most stores as a "loss leader" to pull customers in; what's more, the Beatles mystique was still very much attached to record and artist alike -- at the time, John Lennon had seemingly burnt out a major chunk of his talent, George Harrison was losing his popular edge and had done a disastrous 1974 American tour, and no one was expecting great things from Ringo Starr -- and it seemed like McCartney represented the part of the group's legacy that came closest to living up to fans' expectations. Thus the album ended up selling in numbers, rivaling the likes of Frampton Comes Alive and other mega-hits of the period, and rode the charts for months. The double-CD reissue offers considerably improved sound, though the combination of workmanlike performances and relatively pedestrian songs diminishes the appeal of such small pleasures as the acoustic Beatles set or the storming "Hi Hi Hi." Wings Over America is most valuable as a souvenir for hardcore fans and also as a reminder of the excitement -- beyond the actual merits of the group's work -- that attended McCartney and Wings' work in the lingering afterglow of the Beatles.

London Town is the sixth studio album by Wings, released in 1978. The album had a long and tumultuous gestation which saw the loss of two band members, the birth of a baby and the release of the then best-selling single in British history.
After the commercial zenith of 1976 with Wings at the Speed of Sound and its well-received Wings Over the World tour, Wings' leader Paul McCartney planned on making 1977 a similar year. However, things did not quite work out as planned.
In February 1977, Wings began recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios, which continued until the end of March. Here, Wings recorded five songs: ''Girls' School'', ''Name and Address'', ''London Town'', ''Children, Children'' and Linda McCartney's ''B-Side to Seaside'', later issued as the flip-side of the Wings single ''Seaside Woman'' (issued under the name ''Suzy and the Red Stripes''). The initial plan of touring the US again was thwarted by Linda's discovery that she was pregnant with her and Paul's third child. (Mary had been born in 1969 and Stella in 1971). With the knowledge that they were not going to tour and had time at their disposal � and once again looking for different locales to record in � Wings found themselves moored on a yacht called ''Fair Carol'' in the Virgin Islands during the month of May where several new songs were recorded. Reflecting the nautical locale, the album's initial working title was Water Wings. As Linda's pregnancy progressed, the band halted the sessions for the album, save for the recording of a new track called ''Mull of Kintyre'' that August and the completion of the already begun ''Girls' School'', which would be released as a single � Wings' one and only release in 1977.
Before the single's release came two defections from Wings: drummer Joe English had become homesick for America and returned home, and lead guitarist Jimmy McCulloch left Wings to join the Small Faces that September. For the first time since 1973's Band on the Run, Wings were down to the core three of Paul, Linda and Denny Laine, reflected on the picture sleeve of the single, which showed the three remaining members.
In November, two months after the birth of son James, and shortly after sessions for London Town resumed, the Scottish tribute ''Mull of Kintyre'' was released to enormous commercial success, becoming the UK's biggest-selling single (outstripping The Beatles' largest seller ''She Loves You''). Although it would be topped in 1984 by Band Aid, ''Mull of Kintyre'' still ranks as the UK's fourth biggest selling single and the largest selling non-charity single.
After some final overdubbing in January 1978, London Town was completed and preceded by the US No. 1 ''With a Little Luck'' that March, while the album was released a week later. The album also features the song ''Girlfriend'' which was also recorded by American pop star Michael Jackson, who later featured it on his 1979 album Off the Wall. London Town generally fared well with the critics and in the charts, reaching No. 4 in the UK and No. 2 in the US where it sold over one million copies and went platinum. But after its strong start, it did not have the staying power of Wings' previous releases, with subsequent singles ''I've Had Enough'' and the title track becoming small hits. Although the advent of punk music (which sent the music industry into a period of change) would certainly have contributed to the slightly smaller sales of London Town, the album is now considered to mark the end of Wings' commercial peak and the beginning of a minor commercial slump for McCartney. On 14 May 1978, Paul and Linda McCartney were interviewed for BBC Radio's The Simon Bates Show to endorse the album and the single ''With a Little Luck''.
Paul McCartney was reportedly displeased with Capitol Records in the US, where ''Mull of Kintyre'' fared poorly (its B-Side, ''Girls School,'' did make a modest dent in the Top 40, reaching No. 33), and was further dismayed at what he viewed as lacklustre promotion for London Town. With his contract at an end, he signed up with Columbia Records for North America only (remaining with EMI worldwide) and would stay there until 1984, before returning to Capitol in the US.
In 1993, London Town was remastered and reissued on CD as part of ''The Paul McCartney Collection'' series with ''Mull of Kintyre'' and its B-side, ''Girls School'', as bonus tracks.
Wings band member Denny Laine recorded versions of ''Children Children'' and ''Deliver Your Children'' in 1996 on his album Wings at the Sound of Denny Laine. [wikipedia.org]

Reuniting with producer George Martin was a bit of a masterstroke on the part of Paul McCartney, since it guaranteed that Tug of War would receive a large, attentive audience. Martin does help McCartney focus, but it's hard to give all the credit to Tug of War, since McCartney was showing signs of creative rebirth on McCartney II, a homemade collection of synth-based tunes. This lush, ambitious, sprawling album couldn't be further from that record. That was deliberately experimental and intimate, while this is nothing less than a grand gesture, playing as McCartney's attempt to summarize everything he can do on one record. There's majestic balladry, folky guitars, unabashed whimsy, unashamed sentimentality, clever jokes, silliness, hints of reggae, a rockabilly duet with Carl Perkins, two collaborations with Stevie Wonder, and, of course, lots of great tunes. If anything, McCartney's trying a bit too hard here, and there are times that the music sags with its own ambition (or slightly dated production, as on the smash single "Ebony and Ivory"). But, at its best -- the surging title track, the giddy "Take It Away," the vaudevillian stomp "Ballroom Dancing," the Lennon tribute "Here Today," the wonderful "Wanderlust" -- it's as good as McCartney gets.

Perhaps it isn't surprising that McCartney's grip on the pop charts started to slip with Pipes of Peace, since it was released after his 40th birthday -- and most rockers do not mature particularly gracefully. Although it's rather fascinating that the album didn't reach the Top Ten, despite a blockbuster duet with Michael Jackson in "Say Say Say," Pipes of Peace bewilders in other ways, particularly in its allusions to Tug of War. It often seems as if this album was constructed as a deliberate mirror image of its predecessor; it is also produced by George Martin, also contains two duets with an African-American superstar (Jackson here, Stevie Wonder there), also acknowledges an old bandmate (a Lennon tribute there, a Ringo cameo here), and even contains "Tug of Peace," a deliberate answer song to its predecessor. If only it were nearly as adventurous as Tug of War! Instead of dabbling in all his myriad musical personas, McCartney settles back into a soft rock groove, tempered somewhat by a desire to be contemporary (which means a heavy reliance on drum machines and synthesizers). Instead of sounding modern, McCartney winds up sounding like an aging rocker desperately trying to keep up with the time, but that in turn means that Pipes of Peace can often reveal what the early '80s were like for aging rockers -- he does embrace technology, but he winds up with immaculate productions that are decidedly of their time. Still, at its best, Pipes of Peace is ingratiating soft rock. In particular, the first side is close to irresistible, with the title track being a mid-tempo mini-epic, "Say Say Say" being fine pop-funk, "So Bad" being so sickly sweet that it's alluring, "The Man" being an effervescent Jackson duet, and "The Other Me" scoring with its square dance beats and winning McCartney vocal. Not enough to add up to a latter-day triumph from McCartney, but it still contains better songs than its blockbuster mid-'70s counterparts, and even if it's a little lightweight, it has more flair in its craft and more style in its sound than other McCartney albums, which is enough to make it a minor musical success, despite its disappointing chart performance.

''Press'' is a song by Paul McCartney. It was released as the lead single from his sixth studio solo album, Press to Play, being McCartney's 37th single. The single features the non-album track, ''It's Not True'' as its B-side, which was later included as a bonus track on the CD reissue of the Press to Play album.
Though hitting the Top 30 in both the US (number 21, spending 8 weeks in the top 40) and the UK (#25), ''Press'' marked the beginning of a downturn of McCartney's fortunes on the singles charts, as it was the first time since Back to the Egg in 1979 that a lead single from a McCartney album failed to hit the Top 20 in the US/UK. This may have been because ''Press'' did not fit neatly into album-oriented rock or adult-contemporary radio formats popular at the time. [wikipedia.org]
Paul McCartney's Biography
Out of all the former Beatles, Paul McCartney by far had the most successful solo career, maintaining a constant presence in the British and American charts during the '70s and '80s. In America alone, he had nine number one singles and seven number one albums during the first 12 years of his solo career. Although he sold records, McCartney never attained much critical respect, especially when compared to his former partner, John Lennon. Then again, he pursued a different path than Lennon, deciding early on that he wanted to be in a rock band. Little more than a year after the Beatles' breakup, McCartney had formed Wings with his wife, Linda, and the group remained active for the next ten years, racarole_king up a string of hit albums, singles, and tours in the meantime. By the late '70s, many critics were taking potshots at McCartney's effortlessly melodic songcraft, but that didn't stop the public from buying his records. His sales didn't slow considerably until the late '80s, and he retaliated with his first full-scale tour since the '70s, which was a considerable success. During the '90s, McCartney recorded less frequently, concentrating on projects like his first classical recording, a techno album, and the Beatles' Anthology series. The 21st century saw a creative renewal, including studio albums with a variety of stylistic detours, from straight-ahead rock & roll to standards and more classical projects.
Like Lennon and George Harrison, McCartney began exploring creative avenues outside the Beatles during the late '60s, but where his bandmates released their own experimental records, McCartney confined himself to writing and production for other artists, with the exception of his 1966 soundtrack to The Family Way. Following his marriage to Linda Eastman on March 12, 1969, McCartney began working at his home studio on his first solo album. He released the record, McCartney, in April 1970, two weeks before the Beatles' Let It Be was scheduled to hit the stores. Prior to the album's release, he announced that the Beatles were breaking up, which was against the wishes of the other members. As a result, the tensions between him and the other three members, particularly Harrison and Lennon, increased and he earned the ill will of many critics. Nevertheless, McCartney became a hit, spending three weeks at the top of the American charts. Early in 1971, he returned with "Another Day," which became his first hit single as a solo artist. It was followed several months later by Ram, another homemade collection, this time featuring the contributions of his wife, Linda.
By the end of 1971, the McCartneys had formed Wings, which was intended to be a full-fledged recording and touring band. Former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine and drummer Denny Seiwell became the group's other members, and Wings released their first album, Wild Life, in December 1971. Wild Life was greeted with poor reviews and was a relative flop. McCartney and Wings, which now featured former Grease Band guitarist Henry McCullough, spent 1972 as a working band, releasing three singles -- the protest "Give Ireland Back to the Irish," the reggae-fied "Mary Had a Little Lamb," and the rocarole_king "Hi Hi Hi." Red Rose Speedway followed in the spring of 1973, and while it received weak reviews, it became his second American number one album. Later in 1973, Wings embarked on their first British tour, at the conclusion of which McCullough and Seiwell left the band. Prior to their departure, McCartney's theme to the James Bond movie Live and Let Die became a Top Ten hit in the U.S. and U.K. That summer, the remaining Wings proceeded to record a new album in Nigeria. Released late in 1973, Band on the Run was simultaneously McCartney's best-reviewed album and his most successful, spending four weeks at the top of the U.S. charts and eventually going triple platinum.
Following the success of Band on the Run, McCartney formed a new version of Wings with guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Geoff Britton. The new lineup was showcased on the 1974 British single "Junior's Farm" and the 1975 hit album Venus and Mars. At the Speed of Sound followed in 1976, and it was the first Wings record to feature songwriting contributions by the other bandmembers. Nevertheless, the album became a monster success on the basis of two McCartney songs, "Silly Love Songs" and "Let 'Em In." Wings supported the album with their first international tour, which broke many attendance records and was captured on the live triple album Wings Over America (1976). After the tour was completed, Wings rested a bit during 1977, as McCartney released an instrumental version of Ram under the name Thrillington and produced Denny Laine's solo album Holly Days. Later that year, Wings released "Mull of Kintyre," which became the biggest-selling British single of all time, selling over two million copies. Wings followed "Mull of Kintyre" with London Town in 1978, which became another platinum record. After its release, McCulloch left the band to join the re-formed Small Faces and Wings released Back to the Egg in 1979. Though the record went platinum, it failed to produce any big hits. Early in 1980, McCartney was arrested for marijuana possession at the beginning of a Japanese tour; he was imprisoned for ten days and then released, without any charges being pressed.
Wings effectively broke up in the wake of McCartney's Japanese bust, although its official dissolution was not announced until April 27, 1981, when Denny Laine left the band. Back in England, McCartney recorded McCartney II, which was a one-man band effort like his solo debut. Ironically, the hit single associated with the album was a live take of the song "Coming Up" that had been recorded in Glasgow with Wings in December 1979 and was intended to be the B-side of the 45, with the solo studio recording as the A-side. DJs preferred the live version, however, and it went on to hit number one. Later in 1980, McCartney entered the studio with Beatles' producer George Martin to make Tug of War.
Released in the spring of 1982, Tug of War received the best reviews of any McCartney record since Band on the Run and spawned the number one single with "Ebony and Ivory," a duet with Stevie Wonder that became McCartney's biggest American hit. In 1983, McCartney sang on "The Girl Is Mine," the first single from Michael Jackson's blockbuster album Thriller. In return, Jackson dueted with McCartney on "Say Say Say," the first single from McCartney's 1983 album Pipes of Peace and the last number one single of his career. The relationship between Jackson and McCartney soured considerably when Jackson bought the publishing rights to the Beatles' songs from underneath McCartney in 1985.
McCartney directed his first feature film in 1984 with Give My Regards to Broad Street. While the soundtrack, which featured new songs and re-recorded Beatles tunes, was a hit, generating the hit single "No More Lonely Nights," the film was a flop, earning terrible reviews. The following year, he had his last American Top Ten with the theme to the Chevy Chase/Dan Aykroyd comedy Spies Like Us. Press to Play (1986) received some strong reviews but the album was a flop. In 1988, he recorded a collection of rock & roll oldies called Choba B CCCP for release in the U.S.S.R.; it was given official release in the U.S. and U.K. in 1991. For 1989's Flowers in the Dirt, McCartney co-wrote several songs with Elvis Costello; the pair also wrote songs for Costello's Spike, including the hit "Veronica." Flowers in the Dirt received the strongest reviews of any McCartney release since Tug of War, and was supported by an extensive international tour, which was captured on the live double album Tripping the Live Fantastic (1990). For the tour, McCartney hired guitarist Robbie McIntosh and bassist Hamish Stuart, who would form the core of his band through the remainder of the '90s.
Early in 1991, McCartney released another live album in the form of Unplugged, which was taken from his appearance on MTV's acoustic concert program of the same name; it was the first Unplugged album to be released. Later that year, he unveiled Liverpool Oratorio, his first classical work. Another pop album, Off the Ground, followed in 1993, but the album failed to generate any big hits, despite McCartney's successful supporting tour. Following the completion of the New World tour, he released another live album, Paul Is Live, in December 1993. In 1994, he released an ambient techno album under the pseudonym the Fireman. McCartney premiered his second classical piece, The Leaf, early in 1995 and then began hosting a Westwood One radio series called Oobu Joobu. But his primary activity in 1995, as well as 1996, was the Beatles' Anthology, which encompassed a lengthy video documentary of the band and the multi-volume release of Beatles' outtakes and rarities. After Anthology was completed, he released Flaming Pie in summer 1997. A low-key, largely acoustic affair that had the some of the same charm of his debut, Flaming Pie was given the strongest reviews McCartney had received in years and was a modest commercial success, debuting at number two on the U.S. and U.K. charts; it was his highest American chart placing since he left the Beatles. Flaming Pie certainly benefited from the success of Anthology, as did McCartney himself -- only a few months before the release of the album in 1997, he received a Knighthood.
On April 17, 1998, Linda McCartney died after a three-year struggle with breast cancer. A grieving Paul kept a low profile in the months to follow, but finally returned in fall 1999 with Run Devil Run, a collection primarily including cover songs. The electronica-based Liverpool Sound Collage followed a year later, and the pop album Driving Rain -- a successor, of sorts, to Flaming Pie -- came a year after that. The live album Back in the U.S. appeared in America in 2002 with the slightly different international edition, Back in the World, following soon after. McCartney's next studio project included sessions with super-producer Nigel Godrich, the results of which appeared on the mellow Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard, released in late 2005. McCartney performed every instrument (not including the strings) on 2007's David Kahne-produced Memory Almost Full, a bold but whimsical collection of new songs, some of which were recorded before the Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard sessions. A live CD/DVD set, Good Evening New York City, appeared in 2009. The following year, McCartney kicked off an extensive reissue campaign with a box set of Band on the Run, and he supported the reissue with an American tour in the summer of 2011. That fall, McCartney released his first ballet, Ocean's Kingdom, and a collection of pre-WWII standards called Kisses on the Bottom in February of 2012.

Get a quick look inside your favorite Kansas Jayhawk programs each week with Rock Chalk Weekly's Inside Sports pages. Notable statistics, quick hits and the top social media posts get every Jayhawk fan up-to-speed and ready for another week of thrilling competition.
Number BY THE NUMBERS
The Jayhawks saw senior closer Stephen Villines break the Kansas all-time career saves mark on April 2 against Texas and go on to set the new bar at 40 saves – one shy of the Big 12 Conference record (41) set by current Major Leaguer Huston Street.

Notes QUICK HITS
After the 125th season in Kansas history, the Jayhawks hold an all-time record of 1,885-1,812-18 (.510).
For the ninth time in the 15-year tenure of head coach Ritch Price, Kansas eclipsed the 30-win mark finishing with a record of 30-28.
Price finished his 15th season at the helm of the program as KU's all-time winningest coach with a clip of 465-430-3 (.520), and counting.
When Kansas' season ended in the 2017 Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship, the Jayhawks had played the 14th-toughest schedule in the NCAA.
Thirty of KU's 58 games were played against top-50 RPI teams in the country with 25 of those contests against top-25 RPI opponents – the most in the nation.
The Jayhawks' 20 home wins marked the fourth-most in the Price era and the fourth time since 2003 that the squad posted 20-plus wins at Hoglund Ballpark.
In just a year's time with virtually the same pitching staff, KU improved its team ERA 1.84 points from 6.27 in 2016 to 4.43 in 2017, ranking the squad fifth in the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas won seven three-plus-game series on the season – four in Big 12 play – marking the most won in a season since 2014 when the Jayhawks claimed victories in eight series of three or more games.
Senior closer Stephen Villines was named to the All-Big 12 First Team, marking the fifth-straight year a Jayhawk earned that recognition dating back to 2013.
Villines finished his career one save away from tying the Big 12 career saves record held by Major Leaguer Huston Street (Texas, 2002-04) at 41 as he holds the top spot in the KU record books at 40.
Freshman second baseman James Cosentino picked up All-Big 12 Second Team honors and was named to the All-Big 12 Freshman Team.
In addition, Cosentino earned a nod on the Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-America Team.
Sophomores Jackson Goddard and Rudy Karre, and juniors Matt McLaughlin, Taylor Turski and Blake Weiman were named to the All-Big 12 Honorable Mention team.
Weiman (8th round – Pittsburgh), Villines (10th round – New York Mets) and McLaughlin (12th round – Colorado) were all selected in the 2017 MLB Draft held earlier in June.
With the draft out of the way, Kansas will return three of its four starting pitchers and seven of its eight position players who started 35-plus games in 2017.

TAMPA, Fla. (FOX 13) - Sen. Rick Scott isn't wasting time taking aim at his own colleagues, co-sponsoring a bill that would force lawmakers to forego their paychecks during a government shutdown.
Scott, a Florida Republican, and 11 other U.S. senators proposed the No Budget, No Pay Act. The legislation is an attempt by lawmakers to provide more incentive to agree on a new budget and avoid shutdowns, such as the current one, which is the longest over.
"If other people aren't getting paid -- Coast Guard is not getting paid or other federal workers are not getting paid, we're impacting our economy -- why would congress-men and women and senators get paid?" Scott asked during a news conference. "I think it's very important that we are subject to the same rules as everybody else and if you can't pass the budget, you shouldn't get paid."
There is a partner bill proposed in the House; both have bi-partisan support.
FOX 13 Political Editor Craig Patrick, however, said it's unlikely a bill like this would pass for several reasons.
The proposal does not appear to address what would happen if lawmakers were to pass a continuing resolution to extend the current budget, as is often the case, rather than pass a new one.
"What if the choice is a continuing resolution for what you currently have? So the choice is a continuing resolution at current spending levels or a budget that you think is terrible?" Craig asked. "You either keep things the same and not get paid or you pass a budget you think is terrible and get paid. It might give faulty incentives to federal lawmakers to pass something that they think is no good in their own personal interests."
Craig said it's no secret it's in the best interests of lawmakers to pay themselves.
Beyond that, Congress would also run the risk of putting Washington solely in the hands of wealthy men and women who can afford to go without pay for an extended period of time.
"You would put people in position of not getting paid. Who could afford then to serve in Congress?" Craig said. "You would take working-class people out of the mix and then effectively cede control of Congress fully to millionaires and billionaires."
Voters in the Tampa Bay area who spoke with FOX 13 overwhelmingly agreed with Scott's proposal.
"I think it's a great idea that the Senate and the House should be culpable as with everybody else that's affected," said Ed Chrzanowski. "It's frustrating and it's a shame that it's the working people that are getting impacted, not the people at the top who are pulling the strings."
"The principle of it is, if other people aren't getting paid and you're really the reason -- you're all fighting and can't get it together -- then yeah, you should not be getting paid," said Stacie Linton.
The No Budget, No Pay Act would also prevent back pay to lawmakers.
So far, more than 70 members of Congress have said they will voluntarily forego their paychecks during the partial government shutdown.
Pinellas sheriff suspends 2 deputies for 'humiliating' inmates
By Evan Axelbank, FOX 13 News
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office has issued suspensions for two deputies after a seven-month investigation into incidents involving inmates at the Pinellas County Jail back in January.
In two other, unrelated incidents that same month, deputies were fired for the way they treated prisoners. However, when asked if there would be procedural changes at the jail as a result of the string of misconduct, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said procedures were not the problem.
"We have the procedural safeguards in place. You can't address stupid," Gualtieri said.
