NEW ORLEANS — A scruffy little fugitive is on the lam again in New Orleans, gaining fame as he outwits a tenacious band of citizens armed with night-vision binoculars, nets and a tranquilizer rifle. Scrim, a 17-pound mutt that's mostly terrier, has become a folk hero, inspiring tattoos, T-shirts and even a ballad as he eludes capture from the posse of volunteers. And like any antihero, Scrim has a backstory: Rescued from semi-feral life at a trailer park and adopted from a shelter, the dog broke loose in April and scurried around the city until he was cornered in October and brought to a new home. Weeks later, he'd had enough. Scrim leaped out of a second-story window, a desperate act recorded in a now-viral video. Since then, despite a stream of daily sightings, he's roamed free. People are also reading... The dog’s fans include Myra and Steve Foster, who wrote “Ode to Scrim” to the tune of Ricky Nelson’s 1961 hit, “I’m a Travelin’ Man.” Michelle Cheramie, founder of Zeus' Rescues, at her office in New Orleans on Dec. 9 with a whiteboard index of sheltered cats and dogs and a Scrim look-alike recuperating in the background. 'I'm a travelin' dog and I've made a lot of stops/All over this town...' Leading the recapture effort is Michelle Cheramie, a 55-year-old former information technology professional. She lost everything — home, car, possessions — in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and in the aftermath, found her calling rescuing pets. “I was like, ‘This is what I should be doing,’” Cheramie said. “I was born to rescue.” She launched Zeus’ Rescues, a nonprofit shelter that now averages 600 cat and dog adoptions a year and offers free pet food to anyone who needs it. She helped Scrim find the home he first escaped from. It was Cheramie's window Scrim leaped from in November. She's resumed her relentless mission since then, posting flyers on telephone poles and logging social media updates on his reported whereabouts. She's invested thousands of dollars on wildlife cameras, thermal sensors and other gear. She took a course offered by the San Diego Zoo on the finer points of tranquilizing animals. And she's developed a network of volunteers — the kind of neighbors who are willing to grid-search a city at 3 a.m. Scrim on Oct. 24 at the Metairie Small Animal Hospital in Metairie, La. '...And at every stop I own the heart, of at least one lovely...' People like writer David W. Brown, who manages a crowd-sourced Google Map of all known Scrim sightings. He says the search galvanized residents from all walks of life to come together. As they search for Scrim, they hand out supplies to people in need. “Being a member of the community is seeing problems and doing what you can to make life a little better for the people around here and the animals around you,” Brown said. Neighbor Tammy Murray had to close her furniture store and lost her father to Parkinson's disease. This search, she says, got her mojo back. “Literally, for months, I’ve done nothing but hunt this dog,” said Murray, 53. “I feel like Wile E. Coyote on a daily basis with him.” Murray drives the Zeus' Rescues van toward reported Scrim sightings. She also handles a tactical net launcher, which looks like an oversized flashlight and once misfired, shattering the van's window as Scrim sped away. After realizing Scrim came to recognize the sound of the van's diesel engine, Murray switched to a Vespa scooter for stealth. Michelle Cheramie, director of Zeus' Rescues, left, walks with Scrim on Oct. 24 at the Metairie Small Animal Hospital in Metairie, La. '...If you're ever in the 9th Ward stop and see/My cute little mini poodle...' Near-misses have been tantalizing. The search party spotted Scrim napping beneath an elevated house, and wrapped construction netting around the perimeter, but an over-eager volunteer broke ranks and dashed forward, leaving an opening Scrim slipped through. Scrim's repeated escapades prompted near-daily local media coverage and a devoted online following. Cheramie can relate. “We’re all running from something or to something," she said. "He's doing that, too.” Cheramie's team dreams of placing the pooch in a safe and loving environment. But a social media chorus growing under the hashtag #FreeScrim has other ideas — they say the runaway should be allowed a life of self-determination. The animal rescue volunteers consider that misguided. “The streets of New Orleans are not the place for a dog to be free,” Cheramie said. “It’s too dangerous.” Scrim rests in a kennel Oct. 24 at the Metairie Small Animal Hospital in Metairie, La. '...and my Shar-Pei doll down in old Treme/Waits for my return...' Scrim was a mess when Cheramie briefly recaptured him in October, with matted fur, missing teeth and a tattered ear. His trembling body was scraped and bruised, and punctured by projectiles. A vet removed one, but decided against operating to take out a possible bullet. The dog initially appeared content indoors, sitting in Cheramie's lap or napping beside her bed. Then while she was out one day, Scrim chewed through a mesh screen, dropped 13 feet to the ground and squeezed through a gap in the fence, trotting away. Murray said Cheramie's four cats probably spooked him. Cheramie thinks they may have gotten territorial. Devastated but undeterred, the pair is reassessing where Scrim might fit best — maybe a secure animal sanctuary with big outdoor spaces where other dogs can keep him company. Somewhere, Murray says, “where he can just breathe and be.” A fugitive gains fame in New Orleans eluding dart guns and nets Scrim sits in the arms of Zoey Ponder on Oct. 24 at Metairie Small Animal Hospital in Metairie.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A machinists strike. Another safety problem involving its troubled top-selling airliner. A plunging stock price. 2024 was already a dispiriting year for Boeing, the American aviation giant. But when one of the company's jets crash-landed in South Korea on Sunday, killing all but two of the 181 people on board, it brought to a close an especially unfortunate year for Boeing. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and aviation experts were quick to distinguish Sunday's incident from the company’s earlier safety problems. Alan Price, a former chief pilot at Delta Air Lines who is now a consultant, said it would be inappropriate to link the incident Sunday to two fatal crashes involving Boeing’s troubled 737 Max jetliner in 2018 and 2019. In January this year, a door plug blew off a 737 Max while it was in flight, raising more questions about the plane. The Boeing 737-800 that crash-landed in Korea, Price noted, is “a very proven airplane. "It’s different from the Max ...It’s a very safe airplane.’’ For decades, Boeing has maintained a role as one of the giants of American manufacturing. But the the past year's repeated troubles have been damaging. The company's stock price is down more than 30% in 2024. The company's reputation for safety was especially tarnished by the 737 Max crashes, which occurred off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia less than five months apart in 2018 and 2019 and left a combined 346 people dead. In the five years since then, Boeing has lost more than $23 billion. And it has fallen behind its European rival, Airbus, in selling and delivering new planes. Last fall, 33,000 Boeing machinists went on strike, crippling the production of the 737 Max, the company's bestseller, the 777 airliner and 767 cargo plane. The walkout lasted seven weeks, until members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers agreed to an offer that included 38% pay raises over four years. In January, a door plug blew off a 737 Max during an Alaska Airlines flight. Federal regulators responded by imposing limits on Boeing aircraft production that they said would remain in place until they felt confident about manufacturing safety at the company. In July, Boeing agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud for deceiving the Federal Aviation Administration regulators who approved the 737 Max. Acting on Boeing’s incomplete disclosures, the FAA approved minimal, computer-based training instead of more intensive training in flight simulators. Simulator training would have increased the cost for airlines to operate the Max and might have pushed some to buy planes from Airbus instead. (Prosecutors said they lacked evidence to argue that Boeing’s deception had played a role in the crashes.) But the plea deal was rejected this month by a federal judge in Texas, Reed O’Connor , who decided that diversity, inclusion and equity or DEI policies in the government and at Boeing could result in race being a factor in choosing an official to oversee Boeing’s compliance with the agreement. Boeing has sought to change its culture. Under intense pressure over safety issues, David Calhoun departed as CEO in August. Since January, 70,000 Boeing employees have participated in meetings to discuss ways to improve safety.The Gophers men’s basketball team overwhelmed Morgan State 90-68 on Sunday, but it was the final bullet point on how underwhelming Minnesota’s nonconference schedule has been this season. The Gophers (8-5) have a “strength of resume” ranked 156th in the nation, according to ESPN on Sunday. And Minnesota’s spot in the overall NET ranking (155) won’t improve come Monday, not with a win over a Morgan State team ranked nearly 200 spots lower at 353. Minnesota was a 22-point favorite and received a huge 22-point first half from Mike Mitchell to win easily in its final tune-up before Big Ten play resumes Thursday at home versus Purdue. Gophers head coach Ben Johnson in August expressed the difficulty to balance the competitiveness of the nonconference slate with who’s available to book and what’s best for this year’s team. “Sometimes the hardest thing for fans to grasp fully is so much of it is a numbers game,” Johnson said at the Minnesota State Fair. “It’s a give and take. You don’t know your team fully and you don’t know the other teams. Sometimes you can roll the dice and go with a team that, quote, might not have the name, but you know will be really good in their league, where if you play a Power Five team and they aren’t good in their league, the game means nothing. It’s great to have a name (opponent), but if they finish bottom four, the numbers go down.” Minnesota joined a multi-team, neutral-site event in Orlando around Thanksgiving but lost both games, to Wichita State and Wake Forest. They also lost to North Texas at The Barn earlier in November. Those three teams each have NET rankings in the Top 80. “There are a couple (of games) that we wish we had back,” Johnson said of the overall nonconference schedule. “Obviously Wichita State still stings. You feel like if you had a healthy Mike and play in the North Texas game. ... But when you have a new team, so much of it is hitting adversity and being able to figure it out.” While Morgan State (6-10) won’t help the U’s resume, the win should aid confidence before facing a Boilermakers team picked in preseason to win the Big Ten come March. Morgan State, which lost by 61 points to Xavier and by 27 to No. 3 Iowa State, played Sunday without leading scorers Winston Tabbs (16.1 points per game) and Amahrie Simpkins (12.7). Minnesota staked a 55-37 lead at the half on the back of Mitchell’s perfection. He made all eight jump shots, including six 3-pointers, for 22 points; that total bested his previous U high of 20 points against Ball State last season. Mitchell missed both of his two shots in the second half and sat during garbage time, falling one point short of his career-high while with Pepperdine in 2022. “I think it kind of built into that,” Mitchell said. “Teammates found me when I was open and the ball went in.” How did it feel once he finally missed? “Dang,” he said. The Gophers’ poorer start to this season came with Mitchell sidelined for seven games with a high ankle sprain — including all three defeats — and his return is vital as the U looks to dig out of an early 0-2 hole in conference play next week. Dawson Garcia added 18 points and eight rebounds, while Parker Fox chipped in 11 points as Minnesota used 11 players. Frank Mitchell returned Sunday after missing the Dec. 21 win over Farleigh Dickinson while in concussion protocol. He scored 10 points in 11 minutes on Sunday. “You want to come off (the holiday) break and have a little bit of momentum going into January,” Johnson said. “I think we did that.”

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has proposed diversifying the ownership structure of clearing corporations (CCs), which are currently wholly owned by stock exchanges. The regulator has suggested changes to ensure fair ownership distribution while minimizing disruption to the capital markets. Under existing rules, CCs are not allowed to list publicly, unlike their parent stock exchanges. However, since CCs are wholly owned by stock exchanges, they are indirectly subjected to market pressures. Recognizing this issue, Sebi has outlined several approaches in a consultation paper to address ownership structures in a way that ensures fairness for all stakeholders. One proposal involves distributing 49 percent of the CCs' shareholding to the shareholders of the parent stock exchange on a proportional basis. The remaining 51 percent would initially stay with the parent exchange. Over the next five years, the parent exchange would reduce its holding to 15 percent or lower by selling shares to other exchanges. This approach would ensure that CCs remain majority-owned by exchanges in line with Sebi’s Stock Exchange and Clearing Corporation (SECC) norms. An alternative proposal recommends transferring the entire shareholding of a CC to the existing shareholders of the parent exchange. These shareholders would then have the freedom to trade their shares in the CC independently. This method would completely separate the CC from its parent exchange, creating an independent entity while ensuring fairness for the shareholders of the parent exchange. Sebi has emphasized that CCs will remain prohibited from public listing, regardless of the ownership restructuring approach adopted. According to Jyoti Prakash Gadia, Managing Director of Resurgent India, these proposals reflect the need for CCs to operate independently and free from any conflict of interest or bias toward their parent stock exchanges. He noted that as capital markets expand rapidly, it is essential for CCs to function without undue influence and ensure a level playing field. In addition to ownership diversification, Sebi has proposed that CCs operate as profit-making public utilities. This would require reinvesting profits into technology, infrastructure, and risk management systems to enhance efficiency and stability. Furthermore, CCs should maintain reasonable fee structures to avoid imposing additional costs on investors. Sebi has also suggested encouraging the creation of multi-asset CCs while maintaining a system of multiple clearing corporations. This diversification is aimed at reducing dependency on a single CC and improving systemic resilience. To gather industry feedback, Sebi has invited public comments on the proposed reforms, with a deadline of December 13. These measures reflect Sebi’s efforts to enhance the independence, efficiency, and resilience of clearing corporations, which play a critical role in the stability of India’s capital markets.

The tomatoes I canned the other day, the apples my children enjoy on a daily basis, and the honey we use to sweeten our tea and coffee are all treats fully dependent on pollinators like the honeybees and their caretakers, which sometimes, are us. As I was stocking the pantry for winter, I noticed my honey jars were becoming fewer in number, even with the many generous gifts I’ve received over the summer. Now I could go to the store and pay for a jar of what I think is honey, but may also be super filtered, ultra-pasteurized and laced with additives. Or I could call my local honey guy and say, “Hey, I need a gallon of honey delivered whenever you’re in the neighborhood.” So of course, I did the latter. ADVERTISEMENT On my homesteading journey, I prioritized making connections with local farmers, ranchers, butchers, and apiaries, to have access to the freshest product available, aside from raising it myself. I’m fortunate to know the owner of Cornerstone Apiaries and that he lives just down the way from me, so I should be in good supply on honey for all my cooking, baking, and drink sweetening needs — at least for a couple months. He told me he has about 50 hives and winters them himself without sending them south. I'm impressed with this one-man show. When people think of honeybees, we often think of flowers blooming and bees buzzing around, but our fruits, vegetables, nuts and fiber crops need them too. I grew up in the country where beehive boxes would be set up on the corner of a field down the road and at the end of the summer, a large jar of honey would show up on our doorstep as a thank you from the bees for the use of our land. On a particularly dry summer, I even watched a literal line of bees fly back and forth from their hive to a bird bath as they collected water for their hive. Honeybees are really quite fascinating. They have been around since the beginning of time, with mentions of them in the Bible as well as ancient Sanskrit texts. A queen bee can lay between 2,000 to 3,000 eggs per day, constantly replenishing the hive with workers and drones, who only live for a month or two, whereas a queen can live for up to three to five years. And with how clean they keep their hives, honey is known to be one of the few foods on earth that, untouched, can last naturally without spoiling, forever. So if you get a chance, look around for a local apiary at your local farmers market or vendor shows. Honey holds a whole host of uses, especially as a sweet replacement for processed sugars. Use it in your breads, your baking, and add to coffee with some hot milk to make a miel. Honey even has medicinal qualities, helping to sooth sore throats and calm coughs in the wintertime. It's so sweet to enjoy the benefits of this wholesome sweetener. Thank God for honeybees.

Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners had failed to win or score in their two away games in the competition so far this season, but they made a blistering start in the Portuguese capital and took the lead after only seven minutes. Declan Rice fed overlapping full-back Jurrien Timber, who curled a low cross in behind the home defence for Martinelli to finish at the far post. Arsenal doubled their lead in the 20th minute thanks to a glorious ball over the top from Thomas Partey. Saka escaped the clutches of his marker Maximiliano Araujo to beat the offside trap and poke the ball past advancing goalkeeper Franco Israel for Havertz to tap home. It was a scintillating first-half display which completely overshadowed the presence of Viktor Gyokeres in Sporting’s attack. The prolific Sweden striker, formerly of Coventry, has been turning the heads of Europe’s top clubs with his 24 goals in 17 games this season – including a hat-trick against Manchester City earlier this month. But the only time he got a sniff of a run at goal after an optimistic long ball, he was marshalled out of harm’s way by Gabriel. David Raya was forced into one save, tipping a fierce Geovany Quenda drive over the crossbar. But Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Rice’s corner into the back of the net. To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. Former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards fired over, as did Gyokeres, with Arsenal temporarily on the back foot. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved, and Gyokeres’ miserable night was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.Ludhiana: With BJP preferring new faces in the list of 93 candidates it released on Tuesday night for the MC elections on Dec 21, disgruntled leaders of the saffron party who did not get a chance started looking for alternative parties on Thursday. Some of them had even started planning to contest as independent candidates. BJP did not give the tickets to many ex-councillors who joined the party recently, while some were denied ticket to settle core workers who had been working hard for long. The party is contesting from all 95 seats of Ludhiana MC for the first time. That is why it took the party long to finalise names. Senior most ex-councillor Sunita Rani got the ticket from Ward 88, while party worker Sunil Moudgil was successful in getting the ticket from Ward 62. Vishal Batra, who joined the saffron party recently, was overlooked. Throughout Wednesday, there was speculation of Batra joining another party. The party also did not give a ticket to ex-councillor Parvinder Lapran’s wife from Ward 51. Instead, BJP picked a Hindu face in Neeru Sharma. Lapran had joined saffron party before Lok Sabha elections as he is close to Union minister of state Ravneet Singh Bittu. Despite this, he did not get the ticket. Now, Lapran is planning to field his wife as an independent candidate. Ex-councillor and senior leader Davinder Jaggi, who has been given the ticket from Ward 82, had sought it from Ward 83. He has decided to leave the party and contest as an independent because he has no base in Ward 82. Some other ex-councillors and leaders have also announced to go independent. Ex-councillor Mintu Sharma joined Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday as he was not given the ticket. Ex-councillors Rashi Aggarwal, Chaudhary Yashpal and Varinder Sehgal could not make it to the list. Other past councillors or their kin who have got a BJP ticket include: Pallavi Vinayak from Ward 3, Neeraj Verma from Ward 84, ex-councillor Gurdeep Neetu’s wife Gurmeet Kaur from Ward 75, and Manju Aggarwal from Ward 81. The party also gave a ticket to Rajni Arora from Ward 65. She is wife of late Ravinder Arora, who once served as the district president of BJP.

Only about 2 in 10 Americans approve of Biden's pardon of his son Hunter, poll findsResort and parking fees at the Las Vegas Strip’s largest casino operator are going up on Wednesday. MGM Resorts International said it will increase the fee schedules for the two charges at all of its properties on and along the resort corridor. The changes will go into effect at 10 a.m. on Dec. 4. Resort fees at Bellagio, Aria, Vdara and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will increase $5 to $55 per day. The daily resort fee at MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Delano, Park MGM, Nomad and The Signature will go up to $50, an increase of $5 for the first three and $8 for the latter trio. New York-New York, Luxor and Excalibur will charge a resort fee of $45, which represents a $3 increase for New York-New York and an $8 jump for the other two. Las Vegas-based MGM Resorts last raised resort fees in January. Resort fees pay for unlimited local and domestic long-distance phone calls, in-room Wi-Fi access, digital newspaper and magazine downloads through PressReader, access to the fitness center, Paramount+ with Showtime On Demand and boarding pass printing. MGM says pricing decisions are based on local and nationwide marketplace standards, including the bundled costs of amenities and services included with a stay.
