Despite entering the postseason with a 20-11 record, their first time with double-digit losses in the regular season since 2019, the Notre Dame Pandas swept through four straight opponents, then pulled off a comeback for the ages against Beechwood (24-26, 22-25, 25-13, 25-14, 15-10) to complete the journey to a fifth straight Ninth Region championship.
For the second straight night, tournament MVP Teagan Kondik had her fingerprints on the final play, putting away her 27th kill to complete the comeback.
"Joy. Doing it for my teammates when we've had a hard season, for sure, faced a lot of adversity. I think ending the region with a kill was super special to do it for them," Kondik said.

Ravens OC Declan Doyle reveals absurd suggestion from players to solve second-half woes appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Baltimore Ravens have been on the wrong end of back-to-back disastrous second-half collapses to the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals. After building double-digit leads by halftime, the Ravens proceeded not to score a single point in either of those second halves against their AFC North rivals.
In their search for answers to solve this scoreless issue, offensive coordinator Declan Doyle asked the players for their suggestions. One of them was clearly thinking way outside the box.
"I've asked the players and they brought up the suggestion: 'Maybe we should just stay in the end zone for the end of the first half. Then it will always be the first half for us. We'll never go into the locker room,'" Declan said.

Freshman libero Gabi Rodriguez added another milestone to her impressive first season as No. 19 Texas A&M defeated Auburn on Sunday.
Rodriguez recorded 16 digs and a career-high 10 **** ists, marking her first double-double in college. Her performance helped the Aggies defeat the Tigers in four sets and end a three-match losing streak.
Texas A&M needed stability in the back row after losses to Oklahoma, Arkansas and Florida. Rodriguez provided it again while becoming more involved in setting up the offense. Her 10 **** ists ranked second on the team behind Kirra Musgrove, who finished with 41.
Rodriguez has reached double-digit digs in 17 of the Aggies' 19 matches and now has 254 this season. She previously became the fastest freshman in program history to reach 200 career digs, doing it in just 16 matches.
She followed that performance by setting a career high with 21 digs against Arkansas.

Steelers fans overwhelmed Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, boosting the road team's effort to overcome a 13-0 halftime deficit and a 16-3 fourth-quarter deficit.
Tackle Tristan Wirfs isn't upset with Buccaneers fans for the lack of in-person support.
"Can you blame them?" Wirfs said, via JoeBucsFan.com. "You know, we're 1-4 and haven't really given them much to cheer about.
"So, yeah, it sucks. It sucks when you're going ****** near silent count at home. But you've got to give [fans] something to cheer for."
The Bucs are now 1-5. And the fans didn't have much to cheer for on Sunday, as the double-digit margin melted into a loss.

The U.S. Senate candidates in Texas could hardly be more different: James Talarico, a former seminarian turned Democratic state lawmaker who speaks in calm cadences about love and empathy, and Ken Paxton, the pugnacious Republican state attorney general who speaks about a refusal to compromise.
They share an enemy, though. They dislike social media's effects on children's mental health. Talarico, who did not respond to a request for comment, has endorsed a social media ban for kids under 16, while denouncing "predatory algorithms that divide us on an hourly, daily basis." As a legislator, he co-authored a bill targeting explicit deepfakes — digital imitations of individuals that are often made or manipulated by artificial intelligence and used for harassment on social media.
Paxton has been suing Big Tech, alleging the companies hook youth on their apps or don't restrict sensitive videos from being viewed by kids. "When elected to the U.S. Senate, he will continue his proven record of advancing policies that protect children online, strengthen parental rights, and hold Big Tech accountable when it breaks the law," Paxton campaign spokesperson Madison Cercy said in a statement to KFF Health News.
Youth mental health is in decline. Even as researchers explore what's causing the problem, momentum is gathering among policymakers from both parties to crack down on social media companies. Several major companies are being sued, investigated, and, soon, potentially regulated. That they may be harming kids' mental health is a key reason.

It took Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner a minute to get on the same page about coming clean about their love affair from decades ago.
In his new memoir One **** uva Ride, Michael, 82, revealed that he and Turner, 72, had a secret romance while filming the 1984 flick Romancing the Stone in Mexico, during which he considered himself separated from his then-wife Diandra Douglas, according to an expert on the book obtained by People.
A source tells Examiner that "at first" the Wall Street actor's "decision to come clean didn't go over well" with the Body Heat actress.
"She's an incredibly private person these days, the last thing she wanted was for people to be talking about her **** life, even if [it] was 40 years ago," the source explains.

Trump was speaking at the Token2049 conference in Singapore on Oct. 7. "The thing that's going to spawn the growth of digital ****** ets by far the quickest is actually the AI trade," he said.

JPMorgan just raised its dividend 10% while still paying out only 28% of earnings, and Visa's even lower 23% payout fuels years of double-digit raises.
Cisco's AI infrastructure orders hit $9.3 billion, lifting earnings faster than its dividend, while T. Rowe Price yields 5% at just 10 times earnings.

The best dividend raises come from companies that pay out a small piece of what they earn. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) just showed how that works: it lifted its quarterly dividend from $1.50 to $1.65, a 10% increase, and the new annual rate still matches only 28.3% of trailing earnings. The five companies below all fit that pattern. Each has strong earnings and a payout ratio low enough to fund many more raises. A long streak of past increases supports the case for some of them, but the reason they're here is how much room each has to keep advancing.
Visa (NYSE:V) yields only about 0.72% on its $2.68 annualized dividend at a share price of $370.97. That's a small yield, but the dividend has a lot of room to grow. The payout uses about 22.8% of trailing diluted EPS of $11.75, and Visa's trailing operating margin is 66.1%.

"Rocky" franchise star Dolph Lundgren was considering ending his life after a years-long battle with kidney cancer. Then a doctor "saved" his life by discovering a misdiagnosis had led to ineffective treatment.
The Swedish action star, 68, revealed in 2023 that he had been diagnosed with cancer eight years prior and that he'd been given a few years left to live after finding it had metastasized to other parts of his body. However, a review by another doctor's team led to the revelation that his cells showed a mutation commonly found in lung cancer patients.
Now, with his memoir, "Fights Worth Fighting: Finding Strength in Struggle," recently published and a documentary, "Dolph: Unbreakable," due for digital release, he is opening up about the highs and lows he's experienced since his 2015 diagnosis.
In a Us Weekly interview published Oct. 6, "The Expendables" actor explained that obtaining a second opinion "saved my life," adding that "I wouldn't have been sitting here right now" if his oncologist, Dr. Alexandra Drakaki, had not caught his misdiagnosis.
When he switched to a new medication, he felt "relief that it started working quite quickly."

Google and Constellation Energy announced a 20-year power purchase agreement on Tuesday to bring 890 megawatts of new nuclear capacity onto the PJM Interconnection grid, with Constellation committing more than $4.3 billion to fund the build-out.
The capacity will be generated through turbine, steam generator, and digital control system upgrades at 11 Constellation nuclear units in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, the companies said. The first uprate is expected to be delivered by 2028. The agreement is expected to sustain roughly 4,400 existing jobs and create approximately 7,200 new construction jobs during the building period.
Alongside the power purchase agreement, the companies entered into a separate 15-year energy supply agreement covering an additional 2,700 megawatts from Constellation's existing fleet in the PJM market, the company said.
"We're committed to meeting our growth responsibly by actively investing in clean, reliable power that brings new capacity to our nation's grids," Amanda Peterson Corio, global head of energy and power at Google, said in a statement. "Our agreement with Constellation to fund nuclear reactor uprates will strengthen the PJM grid, which serves 67 million people, all while protecting energy affordability and supporting local union jobs."
Joe Dominguez, chairman, president and CEO of Constellation, said in a statement that the collaboration "can serve as a model for how technology companies and the energy industry can work together to responsibly develop the digital economy."

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- The documentary Dolph Lundgren: Unbreakable, on digital video on demand Tuesday, follows the actor's 40-year career through his recent health crisis. For Lundgren, the ups and downs are evidence of his perseverance.
In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, Lundgren, 68, reflected on his career again. He said he values his ability to bounce back from setbacks.
"Part of life is being around to fight another day," Lundgren said. "It's not all successful, great battles. It's like the small battles that get you to the big one, and that's where you make a name for yourself, or that's where you win the war."
From Arnold to Sly
By 1982, Lundgren was a martial artist with a Masters Degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney. He was dating singer Grace Jones, and got his first taste of Hollywood when he joined her on the set of Conan the Destroyer with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Chuck Lorre's remarks about President Donald Trump at a Los Angeles charity gala have drawn a White House response. The creator of The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men called Trump a "bloated orange piece of s--- in the White House" during Project Angel Food's Sept. 26 Angel Awards, according to Entertainment Weekly.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital that Lorre should "seek psychiatric help," accusing him of "Trump Derangement Syndrome." TheWrap reported the reply on Oct. 3.
The gala took place at The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Kitchen & Campus. Project Angel Food's meal program serves seriously ill people across Los Angeles County at no cost to clients, with dietitians and chefs developing menus around their medical needs.
Director Nikki Lorre presented her father with the Founders Angel Award, the organization's highest honor. The nonprofit says it has bestowed the award only once before, on founder Marianne Williamson and her co-founders.
In the political portion of his speech, Lorre said he wanted a government that prioritized citizens' health and welfare. He also made jokes about Trump's health and directed personal insults at first lady Melania Trump, according to TheWrap's account.

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA − Dhar Mann doesn't consider other digital content creators his competition.
The filmmaker behind Dhar Mann Studios, whose inspirational videos reach hundreds of millions of viewers each week, has his sights set on something bigger: Hollywood.
"I actually see other major studios as the competition," Mann tells USA TODAY during a tour of his Burbank, California, studios. "I don't really see a difference between any of the big studios and what they've built and the trajectory that we're on."
It's an ambitious outlook for a company that started nearly eight years ago in Mann's downtown LA apartment, where he filmed videos on iPhones.
Today, Dhar Mann Studios has more than 170 million followers across social media and a team of about 250 people. The content, drawing nearly 300 million views a week, has expanded beyond social platforms through partnerships with Samsung, Fox and Disney, including a recently announced 20-episode order from Disney.

Andrew Jones, vice president of the Noah’s Ark Research Project, told Fox News Digital about the project’s latest field season at Turkey’s Durupınar formation, where researchers collected more than 300 soil samples and conducted deep-core drilling.

The boat-shaped formation was first discovered in 1959 and has long-drawn speculation over a possible connection to Noah's Ark.

Comedian Tim Dillon roasted stone-faced Peter Thiel after awards ceremony presenter Bari Weiss made an Antichrist joke at his expense.
Thiel received the Axel Springer award in Germany earlier this week for his work in digital technology, and CBS News's Weiss used the venue to make her "foray into standup comedy," according to Dillon.
"That's the crowd's reaction, take a look at the crowd — that's Thiel and the rest of them — That's the crowd's reaction over at the comedy," Dillon quipped, cutting to video of the solemn-looking group.
"She's new! Hey, guys, she's a beginner. How about you lighten up? She's a beginner. She's been running CBS News!" Dillon exclaimed in mock-defense of Weiss.
"So, Bari is now starting out in comedy, but she's got raw talent and charisma. So, if you pair that with work ethic and then a desire to dominate the world and subjugate others, which we know she has, I think she will do actually very well in this," Dillon said before rolling video of Weiss attempting to lighten the mood:

A Lewisville, Texas, barber returned $128,514 in cash he found sitting on top of a Bank of America
$BAC
ATM, with not a dollar missing, Lewisville police said.
The 37-year-old man, who asked not to be identified, came across the bag at roughly 10 a.m. on Aug. 3, outside a Bank of America branch on West Main Street. He was accompanied by a 42-year-old woman. Nearby, officers also recovered a second, smaller bag that held 19 checks, CBS News Texas reported.
Information on one of the bags suggested the money might belong to a nearby Chick-fil-A, so the man drove there to return it. A manager said the restaurant had no claim to the funds. The man then called 911, and officers arrived to secure the bags.
A bank receipt found inside the cash bag specified the precise dollar amount expected. According to CBS News Texas, officers ran two separate hand counts and put the total through a digital currency counter before the sealed bag went into the Lewisville Police Department property room.
Police determined the money belonged to Bank of America and was being handled by its cash vendor, Brinks. Investigators determined that a Brinks technician had completed work on the ATM and inadvertently failed to take the bag with him when he left. Police found no connection to criminal activity. Bank of America has since recovered the funds.

Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (NASDAQ:HBAN) dropped 5.55% to $15.82 on September 16, 2026, close to its 52-week low. The price movement was triggered by a profit warning at a Barclays conference. Huntington brought down its 2027 EPS guidance from above $1.90 to the range of $1.75-$1.83, and its 2026 net interest income growth from 39%-43% to roughly 35%. What matters more than these numbers is the reason behind them. Deposit costs are rising, and loan pricing is tightening, and it landed on the day the Fed delivered its first interest rate hike since 2023. The drop therefore raises the question: is this an oversold bank or the opening crack in regional-bank margins?
A well-run bank has just lowered its guidance, citing intense competition for deposits and loans. If Huntington feels the margin pressure, then it is likely that its peers feel the same. This explains why Fifth Third shares slid 4.1% on the same afternoon alongside the whole financials group. The Fed's new hike makes the environment more unfavorable for the group in the near term. While rate increases eventually lift ***** et yields, banks must immediately offer higher deposit yields to retain balances, squeezing net interest margins in the near term. Furthermore, accelerated commercial real estate loan payoffs reduced total earning ***** ets, though these early payoffs lower credit risk on the loan book.
The selloff leans too much into the reset. A move to $1.75-$1.83 from above $1.90 is a modest single-digit trim. Huntington sustains its profit as well as its operational performance. Loans reached $189 billion from $50 billion in 2015. Deposits touched $222 billion. And one of the company's biggest growth engines, value-added fee income, compounded at a 14% annual rate since mid-2024, with year-to-date growth near 32%. The income helps offset a notable portion of the spread pressure and offers a competitive edge against pure spread lenders.
A higher-for-longer rate environment carries trade-offs for commercial banks. It drives up deposit expenses, reflecting the margin pressure Huntington reported. It also expands loan yields as credit ***** ets reprice. Deposit beta determines the net effect by measuring how much of each benchmark rate increase the bank transfers to depositors. After the rate hikes, deposit costs typically rise further, so betting on a near-term peak takes some faith. A lower beta allows fee revenue to support earnings, whereas a higher beta keeps the squeeze sustained over multiple quarters.

On September 9, 2026, ****** og Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADI) agreed to acquire privately held Alif Semiconductor for $1.35 billion in cash, with up to $200 million in additional contingent payments. It adds Alif's low-power, AI-native microcontrollers and fusion processors to ADI's portfolio of sensing, signal-processing and power-management technology. ADI CEO Vincent Roche described the deal as advancing "Physical Intelligence," letting systems sense, reason and act locally in real time. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2026 pending U.S. antitrust review.
Alif gives ****** og Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADI) a direct foothold in the fast-growing edge-AI market. Alif's AI-native microcontrollers and fusion processors support low-latency inference, sensor fusion, and on-device AI. It allows systems to process information locally rather than relying entirely on the cloud. The acquisition also expands ADI's addressable market across industrial, data-center infrastructure, defense, energy, robotics, digital health and wearable applications.
ADI is acquiring technology that already has commercial traction. Alif's silicon already ships in production and has design wins with leading consumer and industrial customers. It gives ADI an established platform rather than an early-stage technology project. ADI can combine Alif's digital processing capabilities with its own sensing, signal-processing, power, connectivity and software technologies to offer more complete system solutions.
The acquisition fits ADI's push into AI while the core business makes strong cash flow. ADI completed its $1.5 billion Empower Semiconductor acquisition in July to strengthen power delivery for AI computing, while third-quarter revenue reached a record $4.02 billion, up 40% year over year, and trailing 12-month free cash flow reached $4.94 billion. The Alif deal therefore adds edge intelligence to an AI strategy while ADI retains substantial financial capacity to fund acquisitions and shareholder returns.
Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADI) must make enough returns to justify the $1.35 billion upfront price. The firm will pay $1.35 billion in cash at closing and could pay another $200 million in contingent consideration. It takes the potential consideration to $1.55 billion. ADI therefore needs Alif's technology, customer wins, and expanded addressable market to turn into real revenue and earnings growth rather than simply adding another promising technology platform to its portfolio.
