It was a welcome sight for the Sutter Union High girls volleyball team when it came into the gym following the long Labor Day weekend.
The Huskies had flip-flopped with Bear River for the top-spot in Sac-Joaquin Section Division V and lead the Bruins by .13 one-hundredths of a ratings point entering Thursday's MaxPreps rankings drop. Computerized rankings help fill out at-large berths and final playoff positioning for all 16-team brackets in October, according to SJS playoff criteria.
No. 1 Sutter entered the week with the first of its two home Golden Empire League matches Tuesday night against El Camino, a rather routine straight-set (25-14, 25-9, 25-14) sweep for Sutter to move to 1-0 in league and 18-5 overall.
Kenzy Shannon led with 10 kills while middle blocker Taylor Palmer produced nine off the hands of senior setter Kalena DeLaCerna, who collected a team-high 17 **** ists.
Sutter ended the week late Wednesday with a home match against league foe Natomas. Results will be published on Friday.

SOUTH BEND — Forty-two weeks since suffering the second left ACL tear of his career, Notre Dame football linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa could return this week against Rice in the home opener.
"Kyngstonn's done a great job," Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said Thursday, Sept. 10 on his Zoom update. "He's practiced well. He'd been working to the point where he can play. He's had a really good week of practice. Right now, we're optimistic he'll be able to go on Saturday and be able to help us some."
The junior standout from Inland Empire, CA wore his Shamrock Series jersey but otherwise was in civilian clothes for the season-opening win over Wisconsin on Sunday, Sept. 6.
Viliamu-Asa appeared to practice throughout August at near full capacity as he worked back from the Senior Day injury against Syracuse last Nov. 22.
A preseason All-America candidate, Viliamu-Asa averaged 40 defensive snaps per game in his 11 outings last season. He tied for fourth on the team with 48 tackles and ranked second with 7.5 tackles for loss, including three sacks.

Actor Brad Pitt is best known for Hollywood hits like "Fight Club" and "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," but his lucrative film roles played only a small part in his overall fortune. From his multi-million-dollar real estate portfolio to his powerful production company, Plan B Entertainment, here's how the actor built his Hollywood empire.
News Licensing / MEGA
Brad Pitt has a net worth of $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. This contrasts sharply with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, whose net worth is estimated at around $120 million.
The actor earned an upfront salary of $30 million for the 2025 Apple TV movie "F1," which was a major payday for the actor. However, he also made $35 million to co-star with George Clooney in the 2024 movie "Wolfs." If that wasn't enough, he also made $40 million for the "Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood" sequel.

Stan Kroenke has slowly ******* embled a professional sports empire.
On Sept. 1, America's largest private landowner agreed to buy Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Angels from longtime owner Arte Moreno in a deal valuing the franchise at $4 billion.
If the purchase is approved by MLB, it would give Kroenke control of a team in each of the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB — making him the first owner to do so.
Kroenke also owns several soccer teams, including ******* nal in the English Premier League and the Colorado Rapids in MLS, as well as the Colorado Mammoth in the National Lacrosse League.
Using the most recent Forbes valuations available and including Forbes' $2.8 billion Angels valuation, Kroenke's sports portfolio would total $25.7 billion. That's a total valuation above other sports magnates, such as Josh Harris and the Glazer family.

After years as both an actor and a screenwriter, Cliff Dorfman is ready to set the stage for the next phase of his Hollywood career with his most personal project to date.
Dorfman, 58, rose to prominence in the 1990s with supporting roles on "Beverly Hills, 90210," among other shows. After shifting his focus to screenwriting, he wrote 14 episodes of HBO's "Entourage" and co-wrote the screenplay for the 2011 feature film "Warrior," starring Tom Hardy.
Buzz: Jameela Jamil Declares Botox A 'Prison' For Women: 'We Have Lost A Grip On Reality'
Despite those accomplishments, Dorfman says, he never had a chance to "understand my own story — and to survive it" until he wrote "Crime Family," his debut novel. Published in July, the 287-page thriller follows Chase Forman, a Hollywood writer who returns to his native Long Island, New York, to **** ist his family as his adoptive father's health and mental acuity decline.
Though Chase has spent most of his adulthood distancing himself from the Formans, he soon discovers that his family is part of an organized crime empire, with his adoptive mother, Helene, personally overseeing an international money-laundering operation. What follows is a gripping bicoastal chase as Chase and his family members become fugitives on the run from the FBI.

An auction of the retail empire formerly owned by the Barclay family is set to be shelved after bidders failed to meet the £2bn asking price.
Very Group, the online retailer that also owns the Littlewoods brand, was bought by US private equity firm Carlyle for a nominal £1 sum last year and subsequently put up for sale.
But plans to sell the company now appear to be in jeopardy after none of the potential suitors, which included Chinese online giant JD.com, came up with offers large enough to meet Carlyle's demands, Sky News reported.
Carlyle, which had been Very's main creditor, seized control of Very in November following the collapse of the Barclay empire amid a dispute with Lloyds Banking Group about unpaid debts.
In addition to JD.com, possible bidders are said to have included investment firm Elliott, which owns Waterstones, and plus-size online retailer N Brown, which owns the Jacamo and Simply Be brands.

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered Google to retool the system powering its monopoly in digital advertising, sparing the company from a wrenching breakup sought by the U.S. government.
The initial two-page decision by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Virginia marks the second time in a year that Google has received a reprieve from a Justice Department proposal to dismantle its internet empire. Meanwhile, what courts have described as the company's anti-competitive practices have enriched Google's corporate parent, Alphabet Inc., which has a market value of $4.11 trillion.
The judge's full opinion, which includes the specific remedies, will remain under seal for 14 days to allow the parties to review it and propose any necessary redactions.
"We're very pleased the Court rejected the DOJ's proposal to break apart tools that help small businesses reach new customers and grow," said Lee-Anne Mulholland, Google's vice president for regulatory affairs.
After a judge declared Google's ubiquitous search engine as an illegal monopoly in 2024, the Justice Department pushed for a penalty that would have required the company to sell its popular Chrome web browser. But it was rebuffed last September by another federal judge overseeing that case.

Brad Marchand has drawn criticism after mocking Tim Stutzle amid Ottawa Senators' search for its next captain. The Florida Panthers forward responded to an Instagram post naming Stutzle, Thomas Chabot, and Jake Sanderson as finalists.
A hockey page named "Puck Empire" shared a post in which they wrote, "The Ottawa Senators are reportedly 'closing in on a decision on who is going to replace Brady Tkachuk.'"
Marchand responded in the comment section and wrote, "Hahahah …..Stutzle….hahaha," dismissing the idea of Stutzle wearing Ottawa's captaincy. The comment soon drew attention and has now led to a debate over whether Marchand crossed a line.

Jada Star, the niece of late country legend Dolly Parton, reflected on her aunt's cancer battle, sharing why the singer chose to keep her health struggles private.
"You know, we kind of kept all that stuff real private," Star noted in a Tuesday interview with Extra. "And so, she never wanted to worry anybody."
Yet, given Parton worked up until her death at the age of 80 on Aug. 25, Star admitted she was still shocked when her aunt was admitted into the hospital.
"It's been really difficult and very surreal," Star said of how she's doing in the wake of Parton's death. "I think we all share that feeling. It's also been really bittersweet because of this beautiful opportunity we've had to see how much the whole world loves her."
Star highlighted the many tributes that have surfaced across the globe, including the memorial set up at Pigeon Forge's Dollywood and New York City's Empire State Building lighting up in a pink sparkle to pay tribute to Parton.

After an acclaimed All Out pay-per-view, AEW Dynamite returned on Wednesday, Sept. 2 with the fallout from the show in Allen, Texas. From Will Ospreay winning the AEW World Championship to Austin Creed and Kofi making their AEW debuts, it was a night to remember, and that's not even including the other ****** le changes that took place.
While this episode of Dynamite featured plenty of fallout, it also marked the beginning of the build toward the next pay-per-view, with two ****** le matches being made official for the Sept. 26 card. What would be added to the show?
All this and more transpired on this episode of Dynamite:
A recap video of All In plays.
Justin Roberts introduces the new AEW World Champion, Will Ospreay, who comes to the ring. Ospreay says he's "been on a bender" since Sunday celebrating his win. He says All In was amazing, thanks everyone who has been with him on his journey from the beginning and thanks everyone else for their support.

Ospreay says Kenny Omega has been the best wrestler in the world for the last 10 years and still is. Ospreay says Omega is better than him 364 days of the year, except for that one day. Ospreay says they're now tied at 2-2 as the crowd chants for one more match. He says he's satisfied with that record, but if Omega isn't, he can name a time and place to settle the score.

Ospreay starts naming past AEW World Champions, some of whom he says were his heroes. He says the reality is that he's now among all of them, and all of his idols are his rivals.

Ospreay questions his confidence but realizes he's now the standard in AEW.

Ospreay shouts out the United Empire and thanks them for helping him succeed. He says while there's a United Empire in ****** an, he's going to bring the United Empire to AEW.

As Ospreay readies to leave, Ricochet, Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun interrupt. Ricochet says Ospreay knows they have unfinished business and that they're forever intertwined. He also congratulates Ospreay and Omega on their match.

Ricochet understands the fans don't give him credit, but says Ospreay knows him better than they do. Ricochet says Ospreay would not have been in the All In main event without him, and he demands the first shot at the ****** le.

Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors interrupt, and Kidd says Ospreay took away his chances to become the first British IWGP Heavyweight Champion and AEW World Champion. Ricochet and Kidd trade words until they align and head to the ring to target Ospreay, but United Empire runs down to make the save. Ospreay says they can meet in the main event in a tag team match.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has steadily delivered one thing in particular to investors quarter after quarter: Mind-blowing earnings growth that's reached record levels well into the billions of dollars. This is thanks to the company's dominance in the high-growth market of artificial intelligence (AI) chips and its expansion into related products and services. In fact, Nvidia has built an AI empire, and in the latest three-month period, this translated into $96 billion in revenue and $59 billion in profit.
In the earliest stages of the AI boom, this growth resulted in stock price gains, with the shares climbing 800% over the past five years. But in recent times, Nvidia stock has faltered here and there. For example, in the first quarter of the year, it slipped 6.4%, and its year-to-date gain of 16% isn't huge for such a high-growth company.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
So, it's perfectly logical to wonder where Nvidia stock will be after the company's latest explosive earnings report. History offers us some answers.

First came "9 to 5." Then came the business empire, rooted in the place Dolly Parton called home.
Parton, who died Tuesday, was instantly memorialized for her country music fame, glitzy glam and humanitarian touch. At The Old Mill Restaurant in East Tennessee, Tim Fulton was in his office, trying to gauge how many devotees would pour into Dollywood in the coming days.
His restaurant serves up corn grits, barbecue and blackberry cobbler in Sevier County, Tenn., the center of Parton's sparkly empire. Typically, the last weekend of August brings a bit of a lull – right after a popular Jeep expo and just before the Labor Day rush.
Now Parton was gone, a loss he said felt like mourning a family member. He looked up search traffic for flights to nearby Knoxville and expected hotel rooms to book up fast. Indeed, as of midday Wednesday, search interest for "dolly hotel" was up 650% over 24 hours, per Google Trends.
"It may unfortunately turn out to be more of a sad, busy weekend," Fulton said.

Love it or hate it, the world of reality TV has given us larger-than-life personalities who have become household names far outstripping the influence — or run — of the shows that made them famous. These breakout stars have leveraged their viral moments, relentless work ethic, and striking originality into sprawling empires, bestselling products, and global name recognition. Whether they became moguls, cultural icons, or meme supernovas, these reality stars proved that sometimes, fame itself becomes the star of the show.

Kim Kardashian went from reality TV to mogul status, turning her name into a billion-dollar empire. Globally recognized for her beauty, business, and pop culture dominance, she's managed to remain in the spotlight across platforms and through every career evolution. In 2018, she successfully petitioned the Trump administration to grant clemency to Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother who had spent more than two decades behind bars on a drug conspiracy conviction, according to NBC News.

Alibaba is still an e-commerce company. But increasingly, it is becoming something else.

In ancient legend, 300 Spartan warriors held the narrow pass at Thermopylae against a vast, overwhelming force, relying on a critical bottleneck to offset impossible odds. Today, America's energy security is facing its own fateful "300" moment, fought thousands of feet beneath the Gulf Coast.
As crude inventories in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve drain toward their operational limits, America is left, armed with just 300 million barrels. This dwindling buffer forces the nation into a high-stakes standoff against the uncompromising laws of fluid dynamics, immense geological forces, strict federal statutes, and relentless geopolitical pressure.
The SPR is a subsurface engineering marvel. Spanning 60 massive underground salt caverns across four storage sites in Texas and Louisiana, the system holds a combined authorized capacity of 714 million barrels. These solution-mined cavities are gigantic, often 300 feet wide and 2,000 feet tall, large enough to stack the Empire State Building inside.
Because these caverns operate entirely on a liquid displacement system, they can never be left empty. If the fluids were removed without replacement, the immense geological weight of the overlying earth would cause the salt domes to collapse inward like a crushed shield. Consequently, the total volume of fluid inside the reserve must be permanently maintained at 714 million barrels. However, the actual crude oil inventory tells a sobering story. The crude oil volume currently stands at approximately 293 million barrels. The remainder is entirely heavy salt brine used to push the oil out. Operating below this 300-million-barrel threshold pushes the aging infrastructure into uncharted and hazardous territory.
According to the Department of Energy, the absolute physical minimum crude oil inventory is approximately 70 million barrels. This cushion is required at the very top of the caverns to keep the extraction pipes safely submerged in oil rather than the underlying water. But while 70 million barrels is the structural floor where the salt rock might physically hold together, the practical operational floor is much higher, around 250 million barrels.
