jersey e-sports TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Shaquil Barrett is rejoining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs signed the two-time Super Bowl champion on Saturday, while also announcing safety Jordan Whitehead was activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s home game against the Carolina Panthers. Barrett spent five seasons with Tampa Bay from 2019 to 2023. He led the NFL with a franchise-record 19 1-2 sacks in his first year with the Bucs, then helped the team win its second Super Bowl title the following season. In all, Barrett started 70 games with Tampa Bay, amassing 45 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and three interceptions. He was released last winter in a salary cap move, signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins in free agency, then abruptly announced his retirement on social media before the start of training camp in July. Barrett, who also won a Super Bowl during a four-season stint with the Denver Broncos, decided to unretire last month. He signed with the Bucs after clearing waivers earlier in the week. Whitehead has missed the past four games with a pectoral injury. His return comes of the heels of the Bucs placing safety Christian Izien on IR with a pectoral injury. On Saturday, the Bucs also activated rookie wide receiver Kameron Johnson from IR and elevated punter Jack Browning to the active roster from the practice squad.

(Reuters) - The United States will provide Ukraine with a $725 million weapons package, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday, as President Joe Biden's outgoing administration seeks to bolster the government in Kyiv in its war with Russian invaders before leaving office in January. The assistance will include Stinger missiles, ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), drones and land mines, among other items, Blinken said in a statement. Reuters had reported last week that the Biden administration planned to provide the equipment, much of it anti-tank weapons to ward off Russia's attacking troops. "The United States and more than 50 nations stand united to ensure Ukraine has the capabilities it needs to defend itself against Russian aggression," Blinken's statement said. The announcement marks a steep uptick in size from Biden's recent use of so-called Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which allows the U.S. to draw from current weapons stocks to help allies in an emergency. Recent PDA announcements have typically ranged from $125 million to $250 million. Biden has an estimated $4 billion to $5 billion in PDA already authorized by Congress that he is expected to use for Ukraine before Republican President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20. The tranche of weapons represents the first time in decades that the United States has exported land mines, the use of which is controversial because of the potential harm to civilians. Although more than 160 countries have signed a treaty banning their use, Kyiv has been asking for them since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in early 2022, and Russian forces have used them on the front lines. The land mines that would be sent to Ukraine are "non-persistent," with a power system that lasts for just a short time, leaving the devices non-lethal. This means that - unlike older landmines - they would not remain in the ground, threatening civilians indefinitely.

Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird (from left), Congressman Don Bacon, Sen. Pete Ricketts, NU President Jeffrey Gold and Google Public Policy and Government Affairs Manager Dan Harbeke clap as they listen during a news conference on Monday at the Nebraska Innovation Campus. Google officials were in town Monday to celebrate what they said was a $930 million investment in the state this year through three data centers in Omaha, Papillon and the still-under-construction center in Lincoln. This year’s investment brings the total capital investment in the state to $4.4 billion, said Karen Dahut, CEO of Google Public Sector. “In addition to supporting our great government customers, in particular those in the national security area, these data centers are critical to making sure that Google’s investment in technologies can be leveragable by those missions,” she said. As part of the giant tech company’s effort to be a good neighbor, officials announced that its philanthropic arm donated $250,000 to the University of Nebraska and $100,000 to the Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools. University of Nebraska President Jeffrey Gold said the Google dollars will help the university expand its new bachelor’s degree in artificial intelligence, one of the first of its kind in Nebraska. “We will be investing these dollars in educational programming to understand as best we can how generative artificial intelligence and machine learning needs to touch every one of our educational programs, all of our research programs, and all of our outreach and clinical programs, our extension services," he said. "These dollars ... will give us a very, very solid foundation to build upon that." Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird said the money donated to the LPS Foundation will support Spark Summer Learning, a summer camp for elementary students focusing on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird speaks during a news conference on Monday at the Nebraska Innovation Campus. Google announced that it will invest an additional $930 million across its three data center campuses in Nebraska, including the one under construction in Lincoln. Google’s investment will allow LPS to invest in more state-of-the-art technology and offer scholarships to 40 students, said Gaylor Baird, one of a number of local and state leaders on hand for the event at Nebraska Innovation Campus. Gaylor Baird said the new $600 million data center in northeast Lincoln will support hundreds of construction jobs in the short term and dozens of full-time well-paid positions in the future. In August 2023, Google officials confirmed that the company would build a data center on about 600 acres of land northwest of the 56th Street exit on Interstate 80 that will employ at least 30 people. Plans it submitted to the city indicate it could eventually grow to 2 million square feet of space. Google, through a subsidiary, paid about $18.6 million for the land , and another subsidiary applied for $600 million in state tax incentives. The timeline for construction is not finalized, but a Google spokeswoman said the company hopes to have it operational within the next 12 months. In 2019, Google broke ground on a data center in Papillion and has since created 120 jobs that include full-time positions at the site and for external suppliers, according to Google officials. A data center in northwest Omaha is now operational, and the tech giant also has a data center in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The campuses are part of the company’s global network on 41 cloud regions that deliver services to large enterprises, startups and public sector organizations. Dahut said the company worked with local agencies to promote the health of the Platte River basin through collaborations with organizations to replenish 120% of the water it consumes. She said a collaboration with Omaha Public Power District enables Google to supply more than 1,000 megawatts of carbon pollution-free electricity to the state and execute “large-scale clean energy deals.” Sen. Pete Ricketts holds up his phone as he speaks during a news conference on Monday at Nebraska Innovation Campus. Google announced it will invest an additional $930 million across its three data center campuses in Nebraska, including the one under construction in Lincoln. U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts said the state appreciates Google’s investment, which is appropriate, given Nebraska's location in the middle of the so-called “Silicon Prairie,” residents who believe in hard work, and its support of the U.S. military through Offutt Air Force Base. “I think this is a perfect synergy between what we do here in Nebraska, the people that we have here, and what Google wants to do for our economy and for our country,” he said. “This investment will just continue to build upon that great relationship.” Get the latest local business news delivered FREE to your inbox weekly.
