(AP) SYDNEY – An Australian rescue team is heading to Antarctica to evacuate an American expeditioner experiencing a medical emergency. The Australian Antarctic Division said Wednesday it is sending a specialist medical team to the U.S. McMurdo research station in Antarctica. The team will first stop in Christchurch, New Zealand, https://www.sguczsce5.online and wait until weather and light conditions on the frozen continent allow them to land safely. It is winter in Antarctica, and flights are usually only made during the summer. The Australian agency said they could not provide any more details on the nature of the emergency and directed all queries to the U.S. National Science Foundation. The foundation runs the research station and is coordinating the rescue. Officials there did not immediately return messages seeking...

LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson’s mom and four of his siblings announced plans Monday for a tribute concert later this year in Wales, but two of the late singer’s brothers say they oppose the timing of the show. The pop singer’s mother, Katherine Jackson, and siblings La Toya Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Jackie Jackson and Tito Jackson said the show is scheduled for Oct. 8 at Millennium Stadium but did not reveal any performers. Within hours of their announcement of “Michael Forever – The Tribute Concert” at a Beverly Hills hotel, brothers Jermaine Jackson and 청양출장업소 Randy Jackson released a statement that said they opposed the show because it will be held during the trial of a doctor charged in their brother’s death. “While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honors our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael’s death,” the brothers wrote in a statement posted on each of their Twitter accounts. Jury selection in the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray is scheduled to begin on Sept. 8, with opening statements later in the month. The case is expected to last four to six weeks. “There will come a time and place for an amazing and deserving tribute to Michael,” the brothers’ statement read. “But we feel that the most...

“We have nothing to do,” the talk-show host said. “The writers aren’t here.” To fill the time, he got a shave on the air. Johnny Carson, then host of “The Tonight Show,” was also at a loss. ”It is not fun to come to work when you see your friends who you’ve known for many years standing out on a picket line,” he said on air. “And it’s a weird picket line: The writers are out there holding up these signs and there’s nothing on them.” But the 1988 strike by the Writers Guild of America did not produce so many fresh jokes. For one thing, the airwaves were filled with reruns. And not too much was funny. The strike lasted 22 weeks, reportedly cost the industry $500 million, and caused hardship for individual strikers. “People lost their houses, they weren’t able to send their kids to college,” Dick Wolf, executive producer of Law and Order, told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2001, when a similar strike threatened (but didn’t materialize.) Some were forced to adjust in creative ways. Fran Drescher and her husband Peter Marc Jacobson (later co-creators of “The Nanny”) launched a good business, 포천출장업소 Loaf & Kisses Gourmet Croutons, which kept going. The strike also resulted in a changed cultural landscape. The fall television season was delayed, and several shows were permanently canceled. Much of the...
