BRUSSELS — Italy is now dragging its feet on the final plank of the EU’s flagship migration reform — after Germany agreed to a long-awaited compromise. During a meeting of EU interior ministers, Rome in an unexpected last-minute move placed a decision over the so-called crisis regulation on hold, crushing hopes of reaching a deal by the end of the day. Yet the EU home affairs chief Ylva Johansson guaranteed that EU ambassadors will sign off the agreement in the days to come. “We are very close to find the final decision in a few days,” Johansson said in a Brussels press conference after the meeting alongside Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska Gómez.The minister from Spain, which currently holds the rotating presidency for the Council of the EU, said that “points of details can be fine tuned,” echoing that, “We hope to finalize general approach over the coming days.” A breakthrough on this issue would pave the way for an agreement on reform ...Red Sox say Tim Wakefield is in treatment, asks for privacy after illness outed by Schilling

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox say announcer and former knuckleballer Tim Wakefield is undergoing treatment for a disease they did not specify and asked for fans to respect his privacy after his illness was outed without his consent by ex-teammate Curt Schilling.The team issued a statement on Thursday after Schilling said on a podcast that Wakefield had brain cancer, leading to an outpouring of support for Wakefield — and criticism of Schilling.“We are aware of the statements and inquiries about the health of Tim and Stacy Wakefield,” the Red Sox said. “Unfortunately, this information has been shared publicly without their permission. Their health is a deeply personal matter they intended to keep private as they navigate treatment and work to tackle this disease. Tim and Stacy are appreciative of the support and love that has always been extended to them and respectfully ask for privacy at this time.”Wakefield, 57, retired in 2012 with a 200-192 record and 4.41 ERA in more than 3,...Tim Wakefield, wife, both battling cancer after Schilling leaks sad news

In his new book, “Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shapes American Democracy,” Colin Dickey wastes no time getting to the point. “The United States was born in paranoia,” he writes in the book’s introduction. “It has been with this country from the very beginning, shadowing it ever since.”It’s a sobering reminder that conspiracy theories didn’t start with Pizzagate, QAnon or any of the other dangerous belief systems that have recently taken hold in American society — this has been going on since the 18th century. Related: Sign up for our free Book Pages newsletter about bestsellers, authors and moreDickey’s book takes a look at some of the more notable conspiracy theories that have, at one time or another, captured the nation’s imagination, including the Illuminati, Henry Ford’s infamous, anti-Semitic lies and the “Satanic panic” of the 1980s. Underscoring the book is a series of questions: Where do these theories come from, and why do people believe them?“Under ...This little Las Vegas claims a large presence in New Mexico’s history, landscape — and skies

Mary Ann Anderson | Tribune News Service (TNS)In the first chapter of Genesis, it is written, “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” Eons later, the Las Vegas City Council wrote, “Let there be dark: and there was dark.”In this remote corner of New Mexico, dark sky ordinances are in place to ensure stargazers, even if they’re standing in the middle of this small town with its population of 13,000, have little light pollution to better enjoy the exquisiteness of clear nights and constellations and galaxies sparkling in the night sky like silvered flakes of glitter.New Mexico is all about its storied light, whether from a starry night, violet sunrise or magnificent sunset. Las Vegas, perched at almost 7,000 feet in elevation, is wedged where the Great Plains and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains collide, so the luminescent landscape, a fusion of flatland and mountaintop, is light-washed and glimmering.The light isn’t the only reason to visit Las Vegas.

Tedeschi Trucks Band played its best set ever on Wednesday at the TD Garden.Don’t come at me with Orpheum 2022, or 2021, or 2016. Don’t tell me the band has a ten-way tie for best set (even if you are right). Wednesday was it. And here are a few dashes of why:The band vamped on Joe Cocker’s “Woman to Woman” for five minutes letting Susan Tedeschi saunter out, full rock star entrance to open the homecoming show. Later the Boston-born Tedeschi took the ecstatic crowd to Chicago in 1966 (and the Fillmore East in 1971) with “Just Won’t Burn” — her blazing blues leads shot from her mint green telecaster signed by BB King. The whole band somehow turned the Nola stroll of “Fall In” into a Radiohead-does-Southern-rock-on–acid crescendo.Oh, and Warren Haynes joined the band, and his fellow Allman Brothers alum Derek Trucks, for “Dreams” and “Blue Sky.”Wednesday’s show had so much more, but a little history might be helpful to contextualize TTB’s grandest B...Column: The Hollywood writers’ strike is over. What happens now?

By Nina Metz, Chicago TribuneNow that the strike by the Writers Guild of America, which began in May, appears to be over, what happens now?The WGA’s nearly 12,000 members have until Oct. 9 to ratify the contract. Here are some of the details, as outlined on the WGA website:Baseline minimum wages will go up 5% once the contract is ratified. They will go up an additional 4% in the spring of 2024 and 3.5% the following year.Artificial intelligence was a major sticking point and here’s what both sides agreed to: “AI can’t write or rewrite literary material, and AI-generated material will not be considered source material under the (contract), meaning that AI-generated material can’t be used to undermine a writer’s credit or separated rights.”There will be a new viewership-based streaming pay bonus applied to TV shows and movies “that are viewed by 20% or more of the service’s domestic subscribers in the first 90 days of release.”That also means streamers have agreed to provide to the WG...UMass senior DT Billy Wooden making his last season count

UMass coach Don Brown has dealt with a host of problem areas in the first half of the season but the interior defensive line isn’t one of them.Defensive tackle Billy Wooden has been a bulwark in the Minutemen’s front seven with the capacity to stop the run and get after the passer.Brown will be counting on Wooden again when the Minutemen (1-4) host Arkansas State (2-2, 1-0) of the Sun Belt Conference on Saturday (3:30) at McGuirk Stadium. ASU beat UMass 35-33 last season.Wooden held down one of the few positions that Brown wasn’t urgently looking to upgrade in the transfer portal during the off season. He appeared in nine games last season and recorded 16 solo tackles, 20 assisted tackles with 5.5 TFL’s and a forced fumble.“The good thing with Billy is that we are kind of finally getting the really healthy Billy Wooden,” said Brown. “Last year was a year removed off his ACL injury so obviously there was a period of time where you have to get comfortable, get your strength back and b...Latest news
