NEW ORLEANS (AP) — 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. 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.” 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. People like writer David W. Brown, who manages a crowd-sourced Google Map of all known Scrim sightings. He says the search has 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. And neighbors like Tammy Murray, who 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 towards 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 had come to recognize the sound of the van's diesel engine, Murray switched to a Vespa scooter, for stealth. 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 have prompted near-daily local media coverage and a devoted online following. Cheramie can relate. “We’re all running from something or to something. He's doing that too,” she said. 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 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 multiple 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. “I wholeheartedly believe the gangster-ass cats were messing with him,” Murray said. 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." Brook is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

How to get Pittsburgh Steelers tickets for Bengals game in NFL Week 13: Prices, options
Manhattan police have obtained a warrant for the arrest of 26-year-old Luigi Nicholas Mangione , suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson . Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, while carrying a gun, mask and writings linking him to the ambush. Mangione is being held without bail in Pennsylvania on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Late Monday, Manhattan prosecutors charged him with five counts, including murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a forged instrument. Here's the latest: Dickey, his defense lawyer, questioned whether the second-degree murder charge filed in New York might be eligible for bail under Pennsylvania law, but prosecutors raised concerns about both public safety and Mangione being a potential flight risk, and the judge denied it. He has 14 days to challenge the detention. Prosecutors, meanwhile, have a month to seek a governor’s warrant out of New York. Mangione, wearing an orange jumpsuit, mostly stared straight ahead at the hearing, occasionally consulting papers, rocking in his chair, or looking back at the gallery. At one point, he began to speak to respond to the court discussion, but was quieted by his lawyer. Luigi Mangione, 26, has also been denied bail at a brief court hearing in western Pennsylvania. He has 14 days to challenge the bail decision. That’s with some intervention from owner Elon Musk. The account, which hasn’t posted since June, was briefly suspended by X. But after a user inquired about it in a post Monday, Musk responded “This happened without my knowledge. Looking into it.” The account was later reinstated. Other social media companies such as Meta have removed his accounts. According to X rules, the platform removes “any accounts maintained by individual perpetrators of terrorist, violent extremist, or mass violent attacks, as well as any accounts glorifying the perpetrator(s), or dedicated to sharing manifestos and/or third party links where related content is hosted.” Mangione is not accused of perpetrating a terrorist or mass attack — he has been charged with murder — and his account doesn’t appear to share any writings about the case. He shouted something that was partly unintelligible, but referred to an “insult to the intelligence of the American people.” He’s there for an arraignment on local charges stemming from his arrest Monday. He was dressed in an orange jumpsuit as officers led him from a vehicle into the courthouse. Local defense lawyer Thomas Dickey is expected to represent the 26-year-old at a Tuesday afternoon hearing at the Blair County Courthouse. Dickey declined comment before the hearing. Mangione could have the Pennsylvania charges read aloud to him and may be asked to enter a plea. They include possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. In New York, he was charged late Monday with murder in the death of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione likely was motivated by his anger with what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain with corporate greed, said a a law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive healthcare system in the world and that the profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, based on a review of the suspect’s hand-written notes and social media postings. He appeared to view the targeted killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO as a symbolic takedown, asserting in his note that he is the “first to face it with such brutal honesty,” the bulletin said. Mangione called “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski a “political revolutionary” and may have found inspiration from the man who carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology, the document said. A felony warrant filed in New York cites Altoona Officer Christy Wasser as saying she found the writings along with a semi-automatic pistol and an apparent silencer. The filing echoes earlier statements from NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny who said Mangione had a three-page, handwritten document that shows “some ill will toward corporate America.” Mangione is now charged in Pennsylvania with being a fugitive of justice. A customer at the McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where Mangione was arrested said one of his friends had commented beforehand that the man looked like the suspect wanted for the shooting in New York City. “It started out almost a little bit like a joke, my one friend thought he looked like the shooter,” said the customer, who declined to give his full name, on Tuesday. “It wasn’t really a joke, but we laughed about it,” he added. The warrant on murder and other charges is a step that could help expedite his extradition from Pennsylvania. In court papers made public Tuesday, a New York City police detective reiterated key findings in the investigation he said tied Mangione to the killing, including surveillance footage and a fake ID he used to check into a Manhattan hostel on Nov. 24. Police officers in Altoona, Pennsylvania, found that ID when they arrested Mangione on Monday. Mangione is being held without bail in Pennsylvania on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Late Monday, Manhattan prosecutors charged him with five counts, including murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a forged instrument. Mangione doesn’t yet have a lawyer who can speak on his behalf, court officials said. Images of Mangione released Tuesday by Pennsylvania State Police showed him pulling down his mask in the corner of the McDonald’s while holding what appeared to be hash browns and wearing a winter jacket and ski cap. In another photo from a holding cell, he stood unsmiling with rumpled hair. Mangione’s cousin, Maryland lawmaker Nino Mangione, announced Tuesday morning that he’s postponing a fundraiser planned later this week at the Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore, which was purchased by the Mangione family in 1986. “Because of the nature of this terrible situation involving my Cousin I do not believe it is appropriate to hold my fundraising event scheduled for this Thursday at Hayfields,” Nino Mangione said in a social media post. “I want to thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and support. My family and I are heartbroken and ask that you remember the family of Mr. Thompson in your prayers. Thank you.” Officers used New York City’s muscular surveillance system . Investigators analyzed DNA samples, fingerprints and internet addresses. Police went door to door looking for witnesses. When an arrest came five days later , those sprawling investigative efforts shared credit with an alert civilian’s instincts. A customer at a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania noticed another patron who resembled the man in the oblique security-camera photos New York police had publicized. He remains jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was initially charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. By late Monday evening, prosecutors in Manhattan had added a charge of murder, according to an online court docket. It’s unclear whether Luigi Nicholas Mangione has an attorney who can comment on the allegations. Asked at Monday’s arraignment whether he needed a public defender, Mangione asked whether he could “answer that at a future date.”

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Walmart’s Mexico subsidiary said Friday it plans to appeal a $4.6 million fine for alleged anti-competitive practices involving suppliers. Walmart de Mexico said in a statement that it had talked with suppliers to see if there were any concerns. The agency that issued the fine, known as the Federal Competition Commission, expressed concerns about a “relative monopolistic practice.” The commission, Mexico's main anti-monopoly regulatory agency, is one of several independent agencies soon to be eliminated as part of what the government describes as a money-saving measure. It apparently levied the fine after at least one rival store chain accused Walmart of using its substantial purchasing power to gain discounts that put other sellers at a disadvantage. Walmart is by far the largest retail chain in Mexico. It called the decision “incorrect” and said it contained “errors in applying the law.” The company said it would abide by the agency’s ruling Thursday, but would appeal the decision. Walmart's shares rose about 7.5% on the Mexican stock exchange Friday.
(TNS) — Supremacy in the race to self-drive an electrified auto industry is harder than the masters of Detroit and Silicon Valley figured, proving that what players do is far more important than what they say. General Motors Co. showed as much this week with after pumping $10 billion into it and seeing nothing but more of the same for years to come. Talk about sunk cost: the capitulation effectively cedes an allegedly multibillion-dollar opportunity to Google parent Alphabet’s Waymo AV unit, Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc. and what one industry analyst calls China EV Inc. That must rankle atop GM because it’s not how the reinvention of the mother of all legacy automakers was supposed to evolve in this allegedly post-industrial age. Under CEO Mary Barra, GM’s been pushing to reinvent its workforce, restore its product cred and recast its core identity into a next-gen digital automaker deserving a higher share price delivering more value to investors. Mission accomplished — sort of. GM’s robotaxi retreat and redeployment of precious capital feels faintly like a replay of an old, familiar melody in the Detroit automaker's history: in the mid-1990s, reminds Tu Le in his latest Sino Auto Insights newsletter, GM launched a connected vehicle service it still operates called OnStar and fielded for just a few years an EV for the masses dubbed EV1. "The ideas and the ambitions were spot on," he writes, "but either the bean counters and/or management didn't have the stomachs to see these technologies through. Cruise is likely gonna be another one of those missed opportunities for GM." Cruise's exit from its robotaxi program also is a reminder that all sides of this competitive equation — big tech, startups, legacy autos, the investor class — are finding the technological journey, the financial demands and the regulatory scrutiny far more difficult and far more expensive than they figured when they bet on the inevitability of an electrified auto industry driving itself by ... well, soon. “The announcement is also a black eye for the credibility of GM management that, as recently as last year, told investors the Cruise business could generate $50 billion in annual revenue by 2030,” wrote Garrett Nelson, senior equity analyst at CFRA Research. “We think investors were losing patience with its hefty spending (on) robotaxi development with very little to show for its investment.” Things change, such as who controls the U.S. regulatory regime. Expect presidential policy-making to soon favor an EV skeptic like President-elect Donald Trump, enamored as he is with a last-century manufacturing caricature powered by gasoline. Say goodbye to $7,500 tax subsidies on qualifying EVs and hello to tariffs on, say, Mexican-built Ford Mustang Mach-Es — Trump-driven moves that threaten to sap the profitability Detroit needs to fund its EV programs. Add persistent consumer skepticism fueled by still-spotty charging infrastructure and steep EV prices crashing headlong into the technological promise touted by Silicon Valley, Detroit and their legacy rivals. Worse, the capital demands for developing technology outside the wheelhouse of more traditional automakers like GM are totaling too much, especially when there's real money to be made on ICE vehicles in Trump World. And the fact that Detroit is trying to compete with the most technologically adept, most well-capitalized (read "richest") companies on the planet — for whose market cap $10 billion in sunk capital is almost pocket change — should crystalize the scope of the challenge GM and its legacy rivals face now and into the future. The simple fact is this: the business ecosystems colliding in the electrified AV space, where each regards the other with derision and misunderstanding, misread the complexity of their undertaking. Tech sharpies figured building vehicles to comport with safety regs and enabling them to drive themselves would be comparatively easy, and industry motorheads bet they could fund their technological odyssey into a brave new (and unfamiliar) world with profits earned on full-sized pickups and SUVs. Both sides miscalculated, misguided in part by fervor from Wall Street, the environmental lobby and a post-pandemic Biden administration. The president and his people believed a green automotive future would be nigh if only the government could offer enough tax subsidies and manufacturing grants to a) realize the vision and b) stymie China's government-backed EV behemoth. Consumer demand? Meh, they'll come around. Not enough of them have, yet, unsurprisingly preferring what they know. As much as Detroit's automakers want to divorce themselves from their "legacy" past they can't persuasively deny their history, geographic footprint and automotive heritage. And distancing themselves from their core competency in a bid to change the narrative about what they are is not without peril. GM's not alone in its conundrum. Ford Motor Co. and Volkswagen AG bolted their autonomous vehicle gigs a few years back now. Apple Inc., the do-no-wrong heaviest of tech heavyweights, bagged its autonomous car that terrified legacy auto executives simply because it would be an Apple product. Musk endured production “hell” with the launch of his Tesla 3, demonstrating that building a car the right way is harder and less profitable than it looks. The shift to electrification and self-driving vehicles is not a destination whose arrival can be guaranteed — as GM, its industry rivals and Silicon Valley players are learning, sometimes in expensive and humbling ways. It's a journey, and it's just beginning. ©Politico writer has Bluesky account briefly suspended, receives graphic insults for post about Musk'It's become uncomfortable for me': Jordan Peterson, the controversial psychologist, moves from Toronto to the U.S.China Will Benefit If Ishiba’s Ideals Strain U.S. Ties; No Longer On The Sidelines, PM Must Learn Realism

On Monday, Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada, blaming these nations for failing to curb drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Additional, he pledged a 10% hike on Chinese tariffs. Mexico, Canada, and China collectively make up 43% of U.S. goods imports, with shares of 15.4%, 13.6%, and 13.9%, respectively, according to Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs: Tariffs Could Rattle Global Markets Goldman Sachs analysts were quick to assess the broader economic implications of Trump's tariff rhetoric. Isabella Rosenberg , a Goldman Sachs forex analyst, said the proposed 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian imports would represent a significant economic shock for both the loonie and the peso. "If tariffs were to rise to 25%, the estimated impact to USD/CAD and USD/MXN would be about 13% and 17%, respectively," she said in a note to clients on Tuesday. On Tuesday, the Mexican peso weakened by 1.9%, while the Canadian dollar – as tracked by the Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust FXC – fell by 0.6%. Tariffs at the levels proposed by Trump would disrupt supply chains and amplify costs, Rosenberg said. The analyst said she expects that a renegotiation of United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) – which replaced the previous North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) – will likely take place next year. “The USMCA is up for review and renewal in 2026, and it appears likely that this will involve renegotiating some aspects of the Agreement,” she wrote. Such uncertainty will keep the Canadian dollar under pressure in 2025, according to her view. Joseph Briggs , an economist at Goldman, said: "We expect that the incoming Trump administration will impose higher tariffs on imports from China as well as auto imports from Europe and Mexico shortly after his inauguration in January." Briggs added that the tariffs would likely affect economic data even before they're enacted, citing heightened policy uncertainty and ripple effects across currency markets. $300 Billion In Government Revenue, But At Cost Of Higher Inflation If fully rolled out, the tariffs would generate nearly $300 billion in annual revenue for the U.S. government, equivalent to about 1% of GDP, according to Goldman's calculations. Yet the direct effects of tariffs don't stop at border disputes — they also trickle down to the wallets of everyday Americans. Goldman Sachs estimates the effective tariff rate in the U.S. would rise by 8.6%, leading to a 0.9% increase in core PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) prices. For context, this inflationary impact is three times larger than the effect of previous tariffs under Trump's first administration, such as those targeting China and auto imports. Bottom Line: Trade Tensions Are Back Trump's latest trade salvo reintroduces significant tension to global markets, evoking comparisons to his first term's tariff battles. The potential 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada has economists and investors bracing for wide-ranging effects, from inflation and exchange rate volatility to supply chain disruption and consumer pain. While Trump's hardline tactics often double as negotiating strategies, the sheer scale of this proposal ensures that its reverberations will be felt long before Jan. 20.

Biden Pushes for Gaza Ceasefire, Eyes Saudi-Israel NormalizationDiehard Giants fan Joe Becker of Endicott, N.Y., brought a sign to Sunday’s Giants home finale that pleaded for the tank to continue: “Dear Giants, Please Don’t Score for Shedeur ,” Becker demanded, with his eyes on the No. 1 overall pick in April’s NFL Draft and Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. But Brian Daboll’s team refused to heed the advice. Drew Lock threw for 309 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for a fifth score. Malik Nabers racked up 171 receiving yards and two TDs. The Giants beat the shockingly uninspired Indianapolis Colts, 45-33, to snap a franchise-record 10-game losing streak and record their first home victory (1-8) in their final game at MetLife Stadium. And in the process, the Giants (3-13) threw their draft position into jeopardy, potentially costing themselves the chance to select their QB of the future in the spring, where Sanders and Miami’s Cam Ward will await as the top two prospects on the board. They might have also gotten the Colts (8-8) staff fired. Indianapolis GM Chris Ballard, coach Shane Steichen and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley have a lot of explaining to do after they lost to the worst team in the NFL with a playoff berth on the line, getting eliminated in the process. The Giants, who finished 1-8 at home this season, have one game remaining in Philadelphia in Week 18 against the Eagles and old friend Saquon Barkley , who crossed the 2,000-yard rushing mark in Sunday’s blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys. Barkley might sit out the regular season finale with the NFC East wrapped up depending on other results the rest of the weekend. For now, the Giants finally got a win on Sunday by scoring a season-high 45 points. It was the first time they scored 30 or more this season and the first time they scored 40 points since 2019. It also marked more points (45) than they had scored in their previous three games combined (32). There was some discord late in the second half on the sideline with corner Adoree Jackson throwing his helmet and yelling at teammate Jason Pinnock after Joe Flacco ’s second touchdown pass cut the Giants’ lead to 35-33 with 6:38 remaining in the fourth quarter. But Lock drove the Giants downfield with Wan’Dale Robinson ’s help and finished it off with a 5-yard rushing TD to seal it, along with help from a Dru Phillips interception. Ihmir Smith-Marsette ’s 100-yard kick return touchdown at the start of the third quarter carried the Giants’ first half momentum into the second. Colts running back Jonathan Taylor answered with his second touchdown of the game immediately and Alec Pierce caught a Flacco TD to draw within 28-26 in the early fourth quarter. But Nabers broke the game back open with a 59-yard catch and run TD as the Colts’ Kenny Moore and Samuel Womack showed little interest in tackling. The Giants avoided becoming the first winless Giants team at home since 1974. They led at halftime on Sunday, 21-13, for the first time since their Week 3 win in Cleveland on Sept. 22. Lock completed 7-of-8 passes for 153 yards and three touchdown passes in the first half alone: one score each to Nabers (31 yards), Darius Slayton (32 yards) and Robinson (five yards). Nabers racked up 103 receiving yards and a TD on four catches in the first half against a Bradley-helmed Colts defense that looked uninterested in tackling or covering. With Sunday’s production, Nabers and fifth-round back Tyrone Tracy Jr. became the third rookie duo in NFL history to each have 1,000-plus yards from scrimmage in a season. Tracy crossed the threshold with the help of a 40-yard run to set up Nabers’ first quarter score. The only other rookie duos to cross 1,000 yards each in NFL history are the 2006 Saints’ Reggie Bush and Marques Colston and the 1960 Dallas Texans’ Abner Haynes and Johnny Robinson. Safety Dane Belton’s interception of Flacco at the Giants’ 6-yard line set a competitive tone on the game’s opening drive despite the Colts marching straight down the field prior. And Robinson’s touchdown catch with 5:55 to play in the half put the Giants up a commanding 21-6. Steichen went for a 4th and 5 at the Giants’ 8 yard line and converted on a Kylen Granson 6-yard catch with 1:07 remaining, though, to set up a Taylor 3-yard TD run with 23 seconds left. That cut the Giants’ lead to 21-13, their first halftime lead since their 21-7 advantage over the Browns in Week 3. It marked only their third lead at half all season, including their 12-9 advantage in a Week 2 loss at Washington.
