South of the Border: The elusive Mexican drug dealer Joaquín Guzmán Loera, known as “El Chapo,” has been re-captured six months after his elaborately executed escape from Mexico’s most secure prison. Guzmán was taken after a ferocious gun battle in Los Mochis on the Pacific Coast in his home state of Sinaloa.

Authorities said they acted upon an anonymous tip about gunmen in a nearby home.

Guzmán escaped prison last summer — for the second time — in a $1 million tunnel that took a year to dig from the outside directly into the floor of the shower in his cell. The tunnel was equipped with a motorcycle on tracks to speed him a mile away to the exit.

Guzmán is also under indictment in the US and could face extradition.

Lone Wolf: A man arrested in Philadelphia for shooting and wounding a police officer told the cops he did it in the name of Islam and the Islamic State, investigators say. Surveillance video shows a man in a white Islamic robe shooting as he’s running across the street to the driver’s side of the squad car driven by 33-year-old Off. Jesse Hartnett. He fired 11 times.

Despite being hit three times in the left arm, Hartnett got out and returned fire, wounding the suspect in the butt. The gunman has been identified as Edward Archer, 30. Philadelphia police commissioner said, “According to him, the police defend laws that he believes are contrary to Islam.” Archer’s mother told reporters he’s been hearing voices lately.

Mein, Mein: Adolph Hitler’s lengthy and rambling manifesto “Mein Kampf,” which was banned in Germany after World War II, is back in print in an annotated edition that took scholars three years to put together.

The new edition was published under the belief that Germany needs to see just how crazy Hitler was, but critics say it just re-introduces his racist rantings. It’s not a convenient moment, with Germany flooded with immigrants right now.

Less Money: The Dow Jones finished down 1,079 points this week, a loss of 6 percent spurred largely by the slide in Chinese markets. As Chinese manufacturing declines the demand for oil drops as well. Crude closed at its lowest price yesterday since 2004 and oil investors just hate it when the price drops.

But why American investors should be so concerned is debatable. The Chinese markets are not really free markets in the American style. The headline on Michael Hiltzik’s analysis of the situation on his LA Times blog says, “A reminder: China’s stock market is a clown show.”
