New Delhi: Indian stock markets began the week on a cautious note, with both the Sensex and Nifty 50 trading lower during the opening session on Monday. Weak global market trends weighed on investor sentiment. At the opening bell, the BSE Sensex dipped 61.17 points, or 0.08 per cent, to 78,637.90, while the Nifty 50 slipped 16.50 points, or 0.07 per cent, to 23,796.90. The lackluster performance reflects global market concerns influencing domestic indices. India’s Economic Growth OutlookMeanwhile, Deloitte offered a positive outlook for India’s economic growth. In a statement released on Sunday, the global consulting firm projected that the Indian economy would grow between 6.5 per cent and 6.8 per cent in the current fiscal year. For FY2026, the growth is expected to improve slightly, ranging between 6.7 per cent and 7.3 per cent, driven by strong domestic consumption. Market OutlookDr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services said, "As investors leave 2024 behind and look forward to the New Year there will be more concerns than confidence, at least in the early days of 2025. The biggest concern for stock markets, globally, is uncertainty surrounding Trump 2.0. The concern is that since market valuations are high any negative news might cause corrections. He further added, "The resilience of the US economy continues to surprise. The lower-than-expected jobless claims have pushed the US 10-year bond yield to 4.62%. This will be a headwind for stock markets globally and particularly for emerging markets where FIIs might continue to sell. Risk-free yield of 4.62% from the safest asset class in the world will continue to lure FIIs to sell in emerging markets like India and move the money to US bonds. In the recent market correction in India, IT and banking stocks have remained reasonably resilient, primarily due to their fair valuations. Investors should exercise caution as we move into the uncertainties of the New Year."

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Tyrese Hunter scored 17 of his 26 points after halftime to lead Memphis to a 99-97 overtime win against two-time defending national champion and second-ranked UConn on Monday in the first round of the Maui Invitational . Hunter shot 7 of 10 from 3-point range for the Tigers (5-0), who were 12 of 22 from beyond at the arc as a team. PJ Haggerty had 22 points and five assists, Colby Rogers had 19 points and Dain Dainja scored 14. Tarris Reed Jr. had 22 points and 11 rebounds off the bench for the Huskies (4-1). Alex Karaban had 19 points and six assists, and Jaylin Stewart scored 16. Memphis led by as many as 13 with about four minutes left in regulation, but UConn chipped away and eventually tied it on Solo Ball’s 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining. Memphis: The Tigers ranked second nationally in field goal percentage going into the game and shot it at a 54.7% clip. UConn: The Huskies saw their string of 17 consecutive wins dating back to February come to an end. The teams were tied at 92 with less than a minute remaining in overtime when UConn coach Dan Hurley was assessed a technical foul for his displeasure with an over-the-back call against Liam McNeeley.

Memphis attempted 40 free throws and made 29 of them. Memphis will play the winner of Colorado-Michigan State on Tuesday in the second round of the invitational.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr.’s ‘serial killer mentality’ is serving him well amid bumpy patch
LINCOLN — John Butler won’t need an audition as Nebraska’s defensive coordinator. According to a report from ESPN, he’s set to be the permanent replacement for Tony White, who left the school for Florida State. ESPN also reported the likely hiring of two more coaches — Phil Snow, longtime aide to coach Matt Rhule, filling an associate head coach role and Kansas City Chiefs assistant Terry Bradden taking the defensive line coach job, vacated when Terrance Knighton followed White to Florida State. Butler, named the interim DC after White departed, served this season as NU’s defensive backs coach and defensive passing game coordinator, joining the team this summer after the abrupt resignation of Evan Cooper. Previously, Butler had spent six seasons coaching defensive backs for the Buffalo Bills, who, in passing over Butler for a defensive coordinator, triggered his departure from the franchise. Now, he’s in line to get the DC job at Nebraska. “I brought him in knowing that at some point Tony was going to leave whether it was a coordinator job or a head coaching job,” Rhule said Dec. 4 of naming Butler the interim coordinator. “John has been a DC before, so right away I said ‘Here you go John, take this over and run with it.’ He’s done a great job this season with putting together game plans and passing game plans with Tony.” Rhule added a “lot of guys love John” among the assistants and the players. Late last week, Nebraska football released a social media graphic touting Butler’s experience coaching NFL players, and the accumulated contract money those NFL players had earned. Butler previously served as Penn State’s defensive coordinator in 2013 before embarking on a long career in the NFL, first with the Texans and later with the Buffalo Bills. Butler coached some of the top-performing secondaries in pro football before leaving the Bills, last offseason, when he didn’t get the DC job in Buffalo. He spent five months out of the game before the resignation of Cooper — now headed to Florida State — opened a coaching spot at Nebraska. “To say this was out of the blue would probably be an understatement from the standpoint of, the timing, where my mindset was,” Butler said Aug. 6 of taking the defensive backs assistant role. “But when the opportunity came — and it came quick — I had relationships with some people in this building, and, obviously, was very impressed with the programs Matt has built through the years.” Snow, defensive coordinator for Rhule at Temple, Baylor and the Carolina Panthers, opted not to take the DC job at Nebraska when Rhule arrived in 2022. Rhule instead hired White, who posted two top-20 scoring defenses in his two seasons. Rhule kept Snow on as an occasional consultant, and in November more fully extended Snow’s consultant role at the same time Rhule hired Dana Holgorsen as a three-game offensive coordinator. Holgorsen is now the full-time OC. Bradden spent eight years with the Chiefs, including the last four as an assistant defensive line coach. Prior to that, he spent three years as a defensive quality control coach and one year as a defensive assistant. He was a college quarterback at Howard University. On Monday, NU’s new edge rushers coach, Phil Simpson, announced his return to the school, as Rhule intends to have two coaches oversee the defensive line. While Snow, a longtime defensive coach, could oversee the secondary, NU could also hire a separate defensive backs coach as Snow consults with Rhule. The NCAA lifted its limit on countable assistant coaches, which gives Nebraska flexibility to add another coach to the defense. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
I was lucky to call the late, great American composer, arranger and conductor Alice Parker a friend. She was also a guide and teacher of sorts to me — mostly through long conversations held in her kitchen. Alice once said, “Song is a right and need. It is human communication at its most elemental level.” I think this is true. If we lived in a world where there was more group singing, it would fundamentally be a different place. Since I began as the executive and artistic director of the Chocolate Church Arts Center, I’ve wondered how to honor and channel the amazing force of nature that is and was Alice Parker, who passed away just a year ago on Christmas Eve. Fortunately for us all, there already is a long-held tradition at the Chocolate Church, and this year’s is just around the corner: “Sing! It’s Christmas!” from 7-8 p.m. Monday, Dec. 16. These are darkest, coldest moments of the year. And we live in a time when humans are isolated, lonely and entangled in technology, not to mention fiercely divided by divergent perceptions of the world. It is in this context that we invite connection and light through the simplest and perhaps most accessible human technology: community singing. “Song is the language of babies,” Alice wrote. “It is the most companionable of all the arts.” Now in its 50th year, Sing! It’s Christmas! is a free, festive, family-friendly sing-along featuring a mix of traditional carols, modern holiday favorites and sing-along classics. Sing! offers a warm and joyous way to celebrate the season in the embrace of community. Growing up as the one Jewish kid in a rural town in Massachusetts, my best childhood friend, Alan Weatherbee, used to host annual caroling. Going door to door, farm to farm, in the cold — surprising folks with songs performed by an exuberant, unrehearsed, ad-hoc choir of children — this was one of my favorite activities. I’m so honored to be a part of an organization that has held this tradition for 50 years and has made it free, inclusive and inviting to all. The sing-along this year also features specialty acts: the barbershop quartet, the Front Street Boys; the third grade hip-hop dance group, Urban Dynamix; and the Grace Lutheran Church Chime Choir (playing chimes!). There will be a reading of “The Night Before Christmas” by the CCAC’s very own Sara Moore, operations director, and a special visit by Mr. and Mrs. Claus. And of course, there will be candy canes for all, hot cocoa and all the rest. So come on to the CCAC for what promises to be an evening of joy, music and community. Whether you’re an experienced singer or just love to hum along, this event is open to everyone who enjoys the magic of music and the holidays. Gather your friends and neighbors, bring your singing voice, and join us for an unforgettable evening of music and merriment. Let’s make this holiday season brighter together!

Taking to her Instagram, the 28-year-old English golfer warned fans of fake social media pages requesting money on her behalf and explained that she felt the need to address it after an incident at an event recently. “I mentioned this a few weeks ago but after an incident at a tournament recently, I feel the need to speak out again. I will never ask for money or gift cards in exchange for meet and greets or fan club membership,” Hull wrote on Wednesday. “These clubs are fake and run by scammers. My team and I only use my official social media accounts, @charley.hull (Instagram) @hullcharley (X) at ALL times, there are no exceptions. I am not on TikTok. “There are SO many fake accounts out there claiming to be me, if you are contacted them please please report. Let’s stick together so we can beat the scammers.” Hull, who is one of the most celebrated female golfers in the UK, currently has 703,000 followers on Instagram, and more than 91,000 followers on X. In May, Hull made headlines when channeled PGA Tour star John Daly and smoked a cigarette while signing autographs for fans during the U.S. Women’s Open at Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania. At the time, Hull told reporters that a man tried to ask her out by handing over his phone number on a piece of paper during the tournament. Last month, Hull won the Aramco Team Series on the Ladies European Tour, which marked her first victory in two years. Hull, who is No. 11 in the LPGA world rankings, has two wins on the Tour. She revealed her ADHD diagnosis in last year.

Rohtak: Notorious gangster Deepak ‘Furtila’, who carried a bounty of Rs 50,000 on his head, was allegedly killed in a late-night encounter on Tuesday. Two other gangsters – Rahul alias Baba and Ayush – received bullet injuries in the incident. Sub-inspector Ashwani was also hit in the encounter, but the bulletproof jacket saved his life, said the police, adding that Baba along with Ayush was being treated at PGIMS Rohtak. Baba is considered the mastermind behind the triple murder in Bohar village on Sept 19 in which three persons, including the brother of gangster Sumit Plotra, were shot dead. As per sub-inspector Ashwani, who is posted with CIA-2, the police received inputs that Baba and his associates – Deepak ‘Furtila’ and Ayush – had been spotted on a motorcycle near Nonand road. Acting on the tip-off, a joint team of the CIA and STF, Rohtak, began their search and soon spotted the suspects on a motorcycle near IMT, said the sub-inspector. Upon seeing the police, the suspects turned their bike and attempted to escape. During the chase, one of the suspects opened fire on the police vehicle, he added. As the suspects were trying to escape, the motorcycle lost balance and the trio fell down. However, they continued to fire at the police. A bullet even hit SI Ashwani, said the police, adding that in the retaliatory action, all the three criminals suffered bullet injuries. Baba of Khidwali village, Ayush alias Chhota from Jind Bypass in Rohtak, and Deepak alias Furtila of Baloni in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat district were taken to the PGIMS Rohtak where doctors declared the latter dead upon arrival. Notably on Nov 18, a post on an Instagram account named after Rahul ‘Baba’ hinted at a possible encounter. The post claimed that Rahul and his associate Ankit Valmiki were being surrounded by the Rohtak STF and the Mangolpuri cell in Uttar Pradesh fields and expressed fears of an encounter. The STF, however, had dismissed the post as fake. We also published the following articles recently Bihar criminal with Rs 2 lakh bounty killed in police encounter in Gurugram Saroj Rai, a notorious criminal from Bihar carrying a 2 lakh bounty, was killed in a Gurugram encounter with a joint STF team from Bihar and Haryana.

Behind Closed Doors Custom Closets and Cabinetry Unveils Durable Polyaspartic Coating for Garage FloorsAs Jesus begins his public ministry, He encounters some regular, ordinary guys who will do extraordinary things. Simon and his brother Andrew, fishers of fish, are the first. Jesus calls them, “Follow me.” He will make of them fishers of people—men, women and children. Jesus comes across another couple of guys, mending their nets ... working with family and some hired workers, for they too are fishermen. And again, Jesus calls, “Follow me.” These men are “saints” in the sense that they have been called by Jesus to a holy purpose. This call from Jesus is not an invitation. Like, come if you want. Or go home and think about the opportunity and let me know if you’re up to it, if you’re interested, or if you have time. Jesus commanded these four. This reminds me of the occasion when Jesus commands His disciples to feed the thousands who gathered to hear Him. The disciples wanted Jesus to send them on their way to fend for themselves, but He commands them, “You feed them.” And they do. Our disciples leave behind family and the family business for the sake of a new purpose for their lives. They become the beginning community that Jesus is forming, a community that will be shaped by Jesus’ unconditional love, grace, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and obedience. When Jesus speaks about the nearness of God’s Kingdom, in the person of Jesus, it literally touches and changes peoples’ livers – as in this call by Jesus, going from one vocation to a different one. Or in the case of people who are healed—lepers, those who couldn’t walk, those who couldn’t see, the ones who are possessed by the demons in their lives. Because of a one-on-one encounter with Jesus, people are restored in body, mind, in their relationships, and restored to community. Jesus looks inside of us ... He knows us ... but not just in the sense of as we are, but what we might become. Jesus sees the potential. He sees the potential of those He is calling and commanding to follow. He sees it in you, what you might become. Jesus will spend His time revealing what God is like — His love for the whole world, God’s desire for the healing of broken relationships, His generosity in forgiving. Jesus gives us knowledge for how to live in this world, how to be with each other—love one another, forgive one another, encourage one another, pray for one another. Jesus shows his disciples by doing, service above self, looking to needs of others, reaching out to those who are different, to the neglected, rejected, the outcast and judged. And they are to embrace these others in love. God is calling you in your baptism! And your experiences in the church—worship, Bible reading and study, praying, serving, being part of a faith community, the good that you learned and encouragement in the faith received from your parents, grandparents, Sunday School teachers and pastors through the years—all of that is equipping you for ministry. The fishing trade of those first disciples likely served as part of their preparation for what Jesus commanded of them, a movement from fishing for fish to fishing for people. Days when they had small catches and other times when they made a huge haul. Times when the waters were calm, and others when storms arose, and having to deal with fears. Times of celebration and Sign up to get our free daily email of the biggest stories! occasions of disappointment. Today, the Church can’t afford for pastors to die or retire. Why such a comment? The trends we’ve been seeing for a number of years in many of our denominations, is that fewer young people are considering a vocation as an ordained pastor or priest. Even churches needing an interim to serve for a period of time till they can call a new pastor find it more difficult with the aging and death of clergy. Churches are having to develop new ways of doing ministry, including the formation of cooperative ministries involving groups of churches working together and sharing pastoral staff. Denominations are also developing new ways of educating their seminary students, with students learning with the help of technology and at the same time, serving in church sites under supervision. Now more than ever, we must lift up “the priesthood of all believers,” understanding that each of us has been called by God to serve because of our baptism. Everyone is a minister! The baptized have been gifted with faith and the Holy Spirit. And the gifts of the Holy Spirit{span id=”docs-internal-guid-c9446139-7fff-1f59-6a84-e988e148e1f2”}{span}— {/span}{/span}preaching, teaching, healing, compassionate caring and other gifts—will serve to not only build up the body of Christ but also to reach persons who have no connection with Christ and the Church. St. Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians, “(Christ) himself granted that some are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry ,,,” When youth are provided training and opportunity to serve in particular ministries of the church, they do well and come to see that they are truly important persons in the Church. As youth and adults become more involved in the ministry and fellowship of the Church, the more they see themselves as an important part of the community. A parishioner named Barbara underwent training for hospital visitation. And even though she had reservations how she might be received as a lay person by those she visited, found persons genuinely appreciative of her presence, her sharing the Word, listening to them, praying with them, and at times offering the Sacrament. Another parishioner visiting a 100-year-old Alzheimer resident in a nursing home, found that sometimes just holding an old woman’s hand is a ministry of care and compassion. Jesus is calling! “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
