Wade Taylor IV scored 15 points and dished out 10 assists and C.J. Wilcher added 14 points as No. 13 Texas A&M throttled Abilene Christian 92-54 on Saturday afternoon in College Station, Texas. The Aggies (11-2) were in charge from the jump, forging a 19-point lead at halftime and never looking back. Texas A&M scored the first points of the second half, was up by 28 with 13:23 to play and cruised to the finish line while winning its seventh straight game. Taylor's output moved him into second place in the Aggies all-time scoring list. His 1,779 points are now behind only Bernard King, who had 1,990 from 1999-2003. Andersson Garcia and Zhuric Phelps added 12 points each for Texas A&M, which appears to be hitting on all cylinders heading into its Southeastern Conference opener at home against rival Texas on Jan. 4. Phelps added 10 rebounds for the Aggies. Quion Williams led the Wildcats (8-6) with 14 points. Abilene Christian missed its final six shots and went the last 5:24 of the game without a point. The Aggies made a statement in the early going by scoring the game's first nine points over the initial 3 1/2 minutes, with seven of those coming from Coleman. Abilene Christian fought back to within 16-12 after Dontrez Williams' layup with 12:12 left in the half. But A&M swung back, producing a 14-0 run capped by Garcia's layup with 8:51 to play in the half to pull away to a 30-12 advantage. The Wildcats again cut into their deficit, pulling to 30-19 when Cade Hornecker hit a layup with 6:26 to play until halftime. A&M boosted the lead back to 17 points after a pair of free throws by Taylor and got two more from the charity stripe to take a 48-29 edge to the break. Wilcher led all scorers in the half with 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc while Garcia hit for 10 points for A&M while making all four of his shots from the floor. The Aggies outshot Abilene Christian 61.5 percent to 40.7 percent before halftime. Quion Williams and Leonardo Bettiol paced the Wildcats with seven points each in the first half. --Field Level MediaAs the final Sunday of 2024 dawns upon us, it’s almost impossible not to pause and reflect. This day feels significant—a time to recount the moments, big and small, that defined our year. Perhaps you’re sitting in church, surrounded by the warmth of fellowship. Or maybe you’re at home, savoring a quiet moment with a cup of tea. Wherever you are, this day invites us to take stock of the journey that brought us here. So, let’s ask ourselves: what are we truly grateful for? Sometimes, gratitude feels tied to extraordinary achievements—landing that dream job, completing a degree, or celebrating a milestone birthday. But what about the simple things? Waking up each day, the smile of a loved one, or the joy of watching the rain nourish the earth. This year may not have been perfect, but think of the mornings you woke up healthy. The days when laughter filled the air. The moments when a kind word or gesture reminded you that you’re not alone. For many of us, 2024 came with its share of challenges—setbacks in our careers, strained relationships, financial worries, or health scares. Yet, in these moments, we found strength we didn’t know we had. Maybe you learned patience in the waiting seasons. Or discovered resilience when things didn’t go as planned. Perhaps, through pain, you found a deeper understanding of yourself or a greater reliance on God. Gratitude isn’t always about easy days; it’s about recognizing the lessons in difficult ones. Who were the people who stood by you this year? Maybe it was your family, holding you up when life felt heavy. Or friends who brought light to dark days. Perhaps it was a mentor who guided you or a stranger whose kindness left an impression. Take a moment to be grateful for these people—their love, support, and presence are gifts we should never take for granted. 2024 may have been a year of accomplishments or just the beginning of new dreams. Did you start something new—a business, a creative project, or a healthier lifestyle? Or maybe you took a step back to reassess your goals. Whatever your journey, be grateful for the opportunity to grow, to dream, and to believe in what’s yet to come. As Christians, we’re reminded that each year is part of a divine plan. God’s faithfulness throughout 2024 is a reason to be thankful. Even when we stumbled, His grace carried us. And as we prepare to step into 2025, we hold onto the hope that His plans for us remain good. Take a moment today to write your gratitude list. It doesn’t have to be long. Maybe it’s a single word or a sentence that captures your heart. Write it down. Speak it out. Share it with someone. On this last Sunday of the year, let gratitude guide your reflection and fill your heart with peace. So, what are you grateful for? Whatever it is, let it remind you that life, with all its ups and downs, is still a beautiful journey worth celebrating. Here’s to the memories of 2024 and the hope of 2025. Happy last Sunday of the year!

Security forces recovered a significant cache of weapons near MS 27 along the Miao-Vijaynagar axis in Arunachal Pradesh‘s Changlang district. The joint operation, conducted under the Spear Corps, involved Assam Rifles, the Army, and local police. Extensive search efforts by specialized teams, supported by advanced technology such as high-tech drones, tracker dogs, and metal detectors, led to the discovery. “During the operation, ten Chinese-origin MQ 81 Assault Rifles/Type 81 Assault Rifles were recovered from different locations around MS 27,” an Army official stated. “This constitutes one of the largest recoveries of such weapons in South Arunachal in recent times. The weapons were concealed within a forested area,” he said. He further explained that these weapons had been sought by major insurgent groups operating in the Changlang district for over six months. It is believed that these weapons were buried by the Eastern Naga National Government (ENNG) before their surrender last year. “Prior to the operation, security personnel ensured the safe passage of tourists present in Namdapha Reserve Forest for birdwatching,” the official said. Numerous inputs have been received over the past six months regarding attempts by various insurgent groups, particularly the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) (NSCN-IM) and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang) (NSCN-KYA), with the assistance of former ENNG cadres, to recover this cache.Tiny homes could be a big help for California’s unhoused

A 40-year-old man was killed by a shark on Saturday evening off the coast of Central Queensland. The man, identified as Luke Walford, was spearfishing with family members off Humpy Island in The Keppels, about 25 kilometres off the coast of Yeppoon, before Queensland Ambulance were called at 4.37pm. Paramedics arrived within 20 minutes and found Walford with significant injuries to his neck. A critical medical team, along with a doctor, worked to save Mr Walford’s life, but to no avail. A Queensland Ambulance spokesperson told SkyNews.com.au Mr Walford “sadly died on scene” after the horror mauling, succumbing to his injuries a short time before 6pm. A rescue helicopter was sent to the scene. Police will prepare a report for the coroner. Mr Walford’s social media indicated he was a pastor for nine years at the Cathedral of Praise Church in Rockhampton, Queensland, where he and his family lived. Member for Keppel Nigel Hutton said the community was sending their “thoughts and prayers” to the Walford family. The attack came within a month of a man in his 60s being bitten by a shark while also spearfishing off Curtis Island, not far from The Keppels. About 8.25am on December 2, the man was bitten and taken to Gladstone Hospital. The man in his 60s received minor to moderate wounds to his forearms during the attack, and received medical attention on the island before he was treated by paramedics. Acting Officer in Charge Gladstone Station Danielle Martin said the bystanders who took care of the victim had carried out “great first aid” to stem the bleeding. “We don’t respond to these very often but when we do they are a unique incident that require us to work with other services to bring the patient to hospital in a timely manner,” Ms Martin said. “We were lucky in this case as shark bites can be significant but we were able to transport him with minor to moderate injuries on this occasion.”iShares J.P.

KABUL (Ariana News): The Presidential Palace (Arg) issued a statement on Saturday highlighting the Islamic Emirate’s firm stance on Afghanistan’s right to self-defense. The Political Commission, led by the Deputy Prime Minister for Political Affairs Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, emphasized that, as an independent nation, Afghanistan is responsible for safeguarding its people, territory, and sovereignty. The statement further underlined the IEA’s commitment to regional stability and peace, stressing that actions that escalate tensions or threaten stability must be actively prevented. In addition, the meeting covered a range of topics, including Afghanistan’s relations with neighboring countries, efforts to expand diplomatic and economic cooperation with select nations, and recent developments both within Afghanistan and in the broader region. Decisive resolutions were adopted in accordance with the outlined priorities.Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president, has died at 100 ATLANTA (AP) — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died. He was 100 years old and had spent more than a year in hospice care. The Georgia peanut farmer served one turbulent term in the White House before building a reputation as a global humanitarian and champion of democracy. He defeated President Gerald Ford in 1976 promising to restore trust in government but lost to Ronald Reagan four years later amid soaring inflation, gas station lines and the Iran hostage crisis. He and his wife Rosalynn then formed The Carter Center, and he earned a Nobel Peace Prize while making himself the most internationally engaged of former presidents. The Carter Center said he died peacefully Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his family. Jimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’ PLAINS, Ga. (AP) — The 39th and longest-lived U.S. president, James Earl Carter Jr., died Sunday at the age of 100. His life ended where it began, in Plains, Georgia. He left and returned to the tiny town many times as he climbed to the nation’s highest office and lost it after four tumultuous years. Carter spent the next 40 years setting new standards for what a former president can do. Carter wrote nearly a decade ago that he found all the phases of his life challenging but also successful and enjoyable. The Democrat's principled but pragmatic approach defied American political labels, especially the idea that one-term presidents are failures. The Latest: Former President Jimmy Carter is dead at age 100 Former President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100. The 39th president of the United States was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government when he assumed the presidency in 1977 and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in Plains, Georgia. Carter was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 1977, after defeating President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 general election. He left office on Jan. 20, 1981, following his 1980 general election loss to Ronald Reagan. Jimmy Carter: A brief bio Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died at his home in Plains, Georgia. His death comes more than a year after the former president entered hospice care. He was 100 years old. Jetliner skids off runway and bursts into flames while landing in South Korea, killing 179 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A jetliner skidded off a runway, slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames in South Korea after its landing gear apparently failed to deploy. Officials said all but two of the 181 people on board were killed Sunday in one of the country’s worst aviation disasters. The 737-800 operated by Jeju Air plane arrived from Bangkok and crashed while attempting to land in the town of Muan, about 290 kilometers (180 miles) south of Seoul. Footage of the crash aired by South Korean television channels showed the plane skidding across the airstrip at high speed, evidently with its landing gear still closed. Tornadoes in Texas and Mississippi kill 2 and injure 6 as severe weather system moves east HOUSTON (AP) — A strong storm system is threatening to whip up tornadoes in parts of the U.S. Southeast, a day after severe weather claimed at least two lives as twisters touched down in Texas and Mississippi. Strong storms moving eastward Sunday are expected to continue producing gusty, damaging winds, hail and tornadoes through Sunday. That is according to National Weather Service meteorologist Frank Pereira. So far, the line of severe weather has led to about 40 tornado reports from southeastern Texas to Alabama, Pereira said, but those reports remain unconfirmed until surveys of damage are completed. Israeli hospital says Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — An Israeli hospital says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery. Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center said his prostate was removed late Sunday and that he was recovering. Netanyahu’s office had said Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close ally, would serve as acting prime minister during the procedure. Doctors ordered the operation after detecting an infection last week. Netanyahu is expected to remain hospitalized for several days. With so much at stake, Netanyahu’s health in wartime is a concern for both Israelis and the wider world. Syria's de facto leader says it could take up to 4 years to hold elections BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s de facto leader has said it could take up to four years to hold elections in Syria, and that he plans on dissolving his Islamist group that led the country’s insurgency at an anticipated national dialogue summit for the country. Ahmad al-Sharaa, who leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the group leading the new authority in Syria, made the remarks in an interview Sunday. That's according to the Saudi television network Al-Arabiyya. It comes almost a month after a lightning insurgency led by HTS overthrew President Bashar Assad’s decades-long rule, ending the country’s uprising-turned civil war that started back in 2011. A fourth infant dies of the winter cold in Gaza as families share blankets in seaside tents DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — A fourth infant has died of hypothermia in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by nearly 15 months of war are huddled in tents along the rainy, windswept coast as winter arrives. The baby's father says the 20-day-old child was found with his head as “cold as ice” Sunday morning in their tent. The baby’s twin brother was moved to the intensive care unit of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Their father says the twins were born one month premature and spent just a day in hospital, which like other Gaza health centers has been overwhelmed and only partially functions. Musk causes uproar for backing Germany's far-right party ahead of key elections BERLIN (AP) — Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has caused uproar after backing Germany’s far-right party in a major newspaper ahead of key parliamentary elections in the Western European country, leading to the resignation of the paper’s opinion editor in protest. Germany is to vote in an early election on Feb. 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalize the country’s stagnant economy. Musk’s guest opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag, published in German over the weekend, was the second time this month he supported the Alternative for Germany, or AfD.On a rainy afternoon during a typically busy time of day, the U.S. Bank on Carmel Rancho Lane in Carmel was robbed. It was approximately 3:35pm on Monday, Dec. 16 when Monterey County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report that three suspects, all believed to be males, had just robbed the bank, according to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office. One of the suspects was reported to be armed with a handgun, and the suspects were seen fleeing in a gray-colored Honda Civic, or similar type vehicle, with an undisclosed amount of money. No one was hurt during the robbery, according to the Sheriff’s Office. “At this point, we have not received any further information that clarifies direction of travel or a license plate,” says Commander Andy Rosas. He adds that because the incident occurred during a busy time at the shopping center, he hopes it will lead to more information about the suspects as their investigation continues. “There's a lot of cars out there that have in-car cameras. What we're hoping is that anybody that was in that area, go back and check your cameras and see if you've got anything that shows a vehicle, maybe other people that were involved, the license plate,” says Rosas. “With the advancements in technology, we know there's cameras out there. Somebody had to capture something.” The U.S. Bank branch is situated in a heavily trafficked area between two other banks—Chase Bank and Fremont Bank—as well as next to a couple of thrift stores, and adjacent to a store called Carmel Stone Imports. A sign on the front of the door reads "This U.S. Bank is temporarily closed and will reopen soon." The nearest U.S. Bank is located at 1400 Munras Ave. in Monterey. In October 2021, there was another bank robbery at the Chase Bank next door, according to multiple news sources at the time and local workers in neighboring shops. “When I went outside I just remember seeing the FBI and Sheriff’s officers everywhere; it was like something out of a movie,” says Pamela, who works at Carmel Stone and would speak only using her first name. “This stuff never happens here.” Anyone with information about the robbery can reach out anonymously. The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident and may have seen something to call Detective Rodrigo Lopez at 831-253-6050 or Detective Sergeant Nicholas Kennedy at 831-597-1228.

The Bell Capital Cup entered its halfway point on Sunday and the long-running tournament continues to make history. For the first time in its 24 years, four teams took to the ice to play sledge hockey. The teams include kids aged 3 to 17-years-old with physical or cognitive disabilities. Last year, sledge hockey was introduced with a team from Quebec and Ottawa taking part in a demonstration game. This year, they're joined by teams from Kingston and Hamilton, giving them a full division. "They are playing to win their championship, just like all the other kids that are playing in this same tournament," said Bell Capital Cup general manager Mark Sluban. "We're very inclusive here at the Bell Cup, it's something I thought was very important for us to strive for and we're only going to make that bigger and better for years to come." Tyrone Henry was in attendance to watch the first games played. Henry has spent a decade as a member of the Canadian National Sledge Hockey Team. "Having the kids play on a big rink with a bunch of fans in the stands, I think it gives them a bit of pride in playing the sport and what they're doing." Henry said. Sledge Hockey Eastern Ontario president Mia Van Bommel added, "We're pretty welcoming and we do group people in larger groups so that we have enough athletes to play." "We really want to showcase the talent of our athletes and really introduce the Ottawa community and the greater community to the sport that we love." The semi-finals will be played on Monday with the finals set for New Years Eve at the Bell Sensplex. Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.

Stay ConnectedObi Asika: Nafest 2024 Aims to Showcase Nigeria’s ‘Unity in Diversity’ Through Art and CultureAfter three losses this year by a combined eight points, Northwestern has found the finishing touch, winning three straight games, all against power conference teams. Northwestern (9-3) tries to extend its streak Sunday in Evanston, Ill., when it takes on Northeastern (8-4) in the final nonconference game for each team. Making a difference recently for the Wildcats has been their defensive pressure and care of the ball. During the Wildcats' three-game run, which included a 70-66 win in overtime against then-No. 19 Illinois, they forced 45 turnovers while committing just 18. That translates to a 43-16 edge in points off the mistakes. "That's something we've really talked about as a team," Northwestern coach Chris Collins said after an 84-64 win over DePaul on Dec. 21. "We're a really good defensive team and we need to turn some of those live-ball turnovers, so points can come a little easier." Brooks Barnhizer has done a little bit of everything during the Wildcats' mini-streak, averaging 19.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.3 steals, 3.3 assists and 2.7 blocks. Nick Martinelli has continued to excel with his rare skill set, combining crafty work in the paint with his expanded range from the perimeter. The left-hander has averaged 22 points in the last three games. For the year, Martinelli has hit 14 of 25 shots (56 percent) from beyond the arc. For Northeastern of the Coastal Athletic Association, this is the only game on its schedule against a power conference team. In 19 seasons under coach Bill Coen, Northeastern has pulled off nine victories over major conference foes. With an all-junior starting lineup, the Huskies are off to their best start since the 2015-16 season. Northeastern is led by guards Rashad King, who averages 17.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game, and Harold Woods, who puts up 14.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists. Considering both are perimeter players, the rebounding numbers are extraordinary, especially for the 6-foot-5 Woods. "He hunts for those offensive rebounds and the tight spaces where he can finish behind the defense," Coen said. "And he works on that daily." This is the first meeting of the teams since 1993. The Wildcats hold a 3-1 edge in the series. --Field Level Media
