Even if Brady rides into the sunset after this year, the Bucs will still have a loaded roster on both sides of the ball, and would still be a prime landing spot for any quarterback who wants a chance at winning a Super Bowl.

That being the case, theyll have plenty to offer a superstar passer like Jackson.

If Jackson were to sign with the Bucs, hed have an elite group of pass-catching weapons hes never had in Baltimore, headlined by a pair of Pro Bowl receivers in (future Hall of Famer) Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. The offensive line is still one of the better units in the NFL, led by All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs.

Tampa Bays defense will still have star players at every level, helping to keep the pressure off the offense to score a million points every game, or mount comeback wins every week.

Tampa Bays offensive scheme is vertical-heavy in the passing game, which would finally give Jackson the opportunity to show off his prowess through the air. Between that scheme and the talented weapons Jackson would have at his disposal, it would also open things up for Jackson to take off running when necessary, still allowing him to be the dynamic playmaker hes always been with the ball in his hands. There might be less schemed running than he had in Baltimore, but his value as a runner would be just the same, perhaps with even more room to take advantage of it.

Its also worth considering that Byron Leftwich might still be the offensive coordinator for the Bucs next season. Its possible Leftwich could finally get the head-coaching job he should have already been given at this point, but after two straight offseasons of getting passed up, it wouldnt be impossible to imagine Leftwich staying in Tampa Bay to keep running one of the leagues most explosive offenses until another team wises up and lets him run their show.

If thats the case, Jackson would get the opportunity to work with an offensive coordinator who knows all too well the challenges that come with being a Black quarterback in the NFL. After a decorated college career at Marshall, Leftwich was the No. 7 overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft, and spent nine years quarterbacking in the league before moving into coaching.

Speaking of the personal side of things for Jackson, hes a Florida man himself, hailing from the Boca Raton area on the Atlantic side of the state. Being just a few hours from home after spending five years in Baltimore might be a refreshing change for Jackson.

Windows 11's first major update, also called Windows 11 22H2, is due to be released to the public on September 20, according to separate reports from The Verge and Windows Central.

The update has been available in near-final form in Microsoft's Windows Insider Preview channels since May, and we've already covered most of its major changesWindows 11 22H2 will include a few new security features (and new default settings for existing features), a redesigned Task Manager, new touchscreen gestures and window management features, and tweaks for the Start menu and taskbar, among other things. It also continues to replace old bits of Windows 8- and 10-era UI (like the brightness and volume indicators) with rounded Windows 11-style versions, bringing more visual consistency to Windows PCs.

Like all major Windows updates, it likely won't be offered to all current Windows 11 users on September 20. Microsoft usually sends the update to a small number of PCs first and gradually expands availability until all Windows 11 PCs have installed it. Users can manually install new updates by downloading an ISO or using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant from this page.

Microsoft's update plans for Windows have changed a lot in the last year, and they're reportedly still in a state of flux. The company said last year that Windows 11 would receive major updates once a year and that Windows 10 would move from its twice-a-year update model to the same once-per-year schedule. But even as the pace of major updates has officially slowed down, Microsofthas also made some changes to its development and release practices that allow it to roll out small- to medium-size changes at shorter intervals. In the 10 months since Windows 11 was released, we've gotten a long list of user interface tweaks, updates for a number of preinstalled first-party apps, and Android app support. Microsoft also reportedly plans to go back to releasing new numbered Windows versions every three years or so, although the company has neither confirmed nor denied this.

For Windows 10 users who can't or don't want to install Windows 11, Windows 10 is getting its own 22H2 update. Microsoft released a preview build for it late last month, but the company isn't talking about what this update actually does. It's not likely to include many big user-facing improvements.

According to The Athletic Matt Clarke, Kacper Kozlowski and Florin Andone are all heading for the exits at the Amex Stadium.

So far, a total of 18 players have been sold or loaned out to clubs at home and abroad by Brighton.

As well as sales of Marc Cucurella to Chelsea and Yves Bissouma to Tottenham defender Shane Duffy has been loan to Premier League rivals Fulham and 20-year-old midfielder Teddy Jenks has made a temporary move to League Two neighbours Crawley.

Manager Graham Potter has not ruled out a number of new additions being added to the squad as well.

Following last Saturdays draw with Newcastle, Potter said: Im always content with the squad, youve always got to look at what you have got and how you can improve. Its a different mix of players, so theres not another Danny Welbeck in terms of profile, So thats something we may look at if we are going to look anywhere.

But weve got some good oppositions in terms of attacking in Denis [Undav], Evan Ferguson and Julio [Enciso].

Theres a lot of different profiles from an attacking perspective but while the windows open we need to keep looking and see whats out there.

I think we dont need to react to stuff. We are quite calm as the balance of the team is good. We still have players on the bench that have not played yet that can still have an impact.

"We are not bare on numbers, we need to make the right calls and the right decisions that doesn't put the club under any strain financially.

Left-sided central defender Clarke hasnt made an appearance for Brighton since signing from Portsmouth for around 3 million in June 2019.

The 25-year-old has played 110 games in the second division over the past three years on loan, spending two seasons at Derby County before joining West Brom last season.

Polish midfielder Kozlowski became the youngest player ever to feature in the European Championship finals, when he came on against Spain aged 17 years and 246 days.

He was signed by Brighton in January 2021, costing around 8 million from Pogon Szczecin, before the 18-year-old was immediately loaned out for the rest of last season to Union Saint-Gilloise.

Injury niggles have prevented him from making an impact in Belgium or on the south coast so it is expected that the youngster will go out on loan again this season.

Striker Andone is clearly not part of Potters plans, as the Seagulls manager failed to mention the Romanian when naming the forward options the club would have if Neal Maupay left.

HAVE YOU READ THIS?

Andone, 29, has barley featured for the club since receiving a red card on his debut in a 2-0 defeat to Southampton leaving the field after a reckless first-half lunge Yan Valery.

Knee injuries and two unsuccessful loan spells at Galatasaray and Cadiz respectively have meant another move abroad looks more then likely for Andone.

However, the club may find it difficult to offload him on the 45,000-a-week wages he earns on his current contract which expires in 12 months.

Hull family-owned firm EYG Home Improvements has been rated one of the top installers in the country by a government-backed scheme.

FENSA, which conducts random inspections of approved installers' work, rated EYG in the top 20 out of more than 6,000 registered home improvement companies for the number of installations carried out making the firm one of the biggest regional home improvement firms in Britain. They further recognised EYG is one of their top performers in that list.

The rating is a source of pride for the firm, whose headquarters are based in Wiltshire Road, Hull, where the manufacturing of their entire home improvement range is also based.

Managing director Nick Ward said: Having FENSA rate EYG as one of their top performers in the top 20 firms nationally is an incredible achievement and we are delighted to be recognised for the hard work of our manufacturing and installations teams in achieving this.

EYG, which has been in business for more than 50 years, joined FENSA in 2008 and has carried out almost 34,000 installations since then.

Installations manager Neil Pooley said: We are very strict on compliance, and this year we are out-performing many of our competitors on inspections. This is really something for us to feel proud of, as it verifies that we dont cut corners. The FENSA inspection covers everything from the structural supports, to using safety or toughened glass where appropriate, and that hinges are correct. This rating brings peace of mind to our customers that our installations are carried out properly and professionally, and that our products have passed our high standards of manufacturing.

So far this year EYG has completed 1,220 installations of windows and doors, which also ranks them twelfth nationally for volume. It has secured major contracts with the likes of fellow East Yorkshire firm Beal Homes.

Councillors have given the go-ahead for uPVC windows to be installed in a C-listed building in a conservation area.

The application for a property on Burnside Street in Findochty had already been rejected. This was because the material proposed was not in keeping with the building, not compliant with Historic Environment Scotland advice and would not preserve and enhance the character of the area.

But at a meeting of the Moray local review body this week, the majority of members went against officer recommendations to refuse. They granted the application on appeal.

Independent councillor for Speyside Glenlivet Derek Ross felt other houses in the area had uPVC windows. He said a coach and horses had been driven through the local authoritys policies.

He said:The problem is we have a climate emergency within the area, and we also have an emergency in terms of peoples finances.

It seems its four times the amount of money to replace the windows with sash and case.

Its all very well for the government to say we have conservation areas, but there has to be money to match that.

We need grants for people to do this work and at present there are no grants.

To me this is about fairness. Is it fair that a family has to have this financial burden at this time when all around them others have not complied with the policy?

He put forward a motion to approve the appeal as an acceptable departure from policy. He said other buildings in the area had uPVC windows and there was little compliance.

SNP councillor for Buckie Sonya Warren agreed with Mr Ross.

She said: I think this is a case where we would have benefited from going on a site visit, seeing the conservation area and how policy has been ignored.

So many other properties in the area have not complied, and because there has been so little enforcement they dont have to remove their uPVC double glazing and revert to wooden sash and case windows.

Conservative member for Forres Paul McBain raised the point the Findochty windows being replaced were not wooden but made of aluminium.

Chairman of the meeting Marc Macrae felt a precedent had already been set with so many neighbouring properties already having uPVC windows.

He accepted the situation with other houses in the area were unknown.

But he added: We seem to have a policy that targets the honest person who asks the council, but rewards the person who doesnt.

SNP councillor for Heldon and Laich Neil Cameron felt he was in a quandary. He said comments made about climate change and the cost of living crisis were valid.

He said: I call upon this administration to do something about the planning policies to make sure that people who want to install uPVC windows which today are much more efficient,better looking and aestheticthan 20 30 years ago.

Its up to this administration to give planning officers the power to do what were trying to tell them to do in this meeting.

He was advised officers were looking at the conservation area policies. They would be debated for the next local development plan.

Labour councillor for Elgin North Sandy Keith said: The policy has been adopted by the council and the listing is in place.

The policies are quite clear whether we like it or not.

Im sure the previous council must have given great consideration to these particular policies. Some of the people sitting in this room were on the previous council and were content to have these policies in place.

If were to have these conservationareas then the Scottish Government needs to come up with the goods, in terms of making sure theres a propergrants system.

He proposed an amendmentto uphold the original decision, and was seconded by Mr Cameron.

Members voted by five to two in favour of approving the appeal with one abstention.

Joao Felix is an interesting case. Despite showing flashes of brilliance, it is hard to shake the feeling that his development may have been better served at a different club than defence-minded Atletico Madrid.

With the Spanish organisation fraying at the seams financially, United could look to test their resolve with a massive bid. Comfortable across the front three or in attacking midfield, Felix has the potential to ascend to the top table of European players, provided he is coached well.

Convincing the 22-year-old to put his Champions League ambitions on hold is a tough sell, though.

2021-22 Appearances - 39Goals - 10Assists - 5Successful pressures (league only) - 38Goals per shot on target (league only) - 0.53Successful dribbles per 90 (league only) - 1.86

Clark Public Utilities has doubled its rebate amounts for a limited time for those who are looking to upgrade their windows or insulation.

New windows or insulation not only provide improvements to the home itself, but it can also save homeowners money later on, stated Clark PUD media specialist Dameon Pesanti.

You can probably save up to 20% if people choose to take this limited-time opportunity, Pesanti said.

To qualify, people must live in an electrically heated home.

Its a big advantage for people who live in older homes because starting in 1990, Washington state began ratcheting up its energy efficiency standards for home construction, and its only gotten higher and higher every year after, he said.

In order to qualify for a rebate, the contractor who does the installation must be part of the PUDs contractor network. The reason, Pesanti said, is because the contractors in the network have agreed to follow the PUDs customer service standards and quality of work. Those contractors are also trained to fill out the paperwork needed to file rebates.

All the customer has to do is sign a piece of paper, Pesanti said.

The contractors must also meet the countys licensing and bonding requirements.

According to Pesanti, a homeowners biggest energy expense is heating and cooling. Insulation, he said, is the most effective and cheapest way to save money on home energy bills.

It takes effect immediately, makes you warm and comfortable all year round, and theres no maintenance because once the insulation is in, the projects done, he said.

Having a contractor install insulation can also save money because they can acquire the material in bulk, which is cheaper than a homeowner purchasing the product at a retail rate, Pesanti said.

Since newer homes built after the energy efficient standard change in 1990 have better insulation, Pesanti said homes built before 1990 would benefit more from the installation and rebates.

Most of the time, the rebate is included as a line item in the invoice so its an instant rebate for the customer and then we pay the rebate out to the contractor after the fact, Pesanti said. Thats not required though, so sometimes the customer pays the pre-rebated price to the contractor and then the rebate gets paid to the customer directly by us after the fact.

Pesanti said those who are looking to get new windows or insulation should get at least three bids before proceeding with a replacement.

According to the PUDs website, new homes are required to have R-49 insulation in the ceiling and R-30 insulation in the floor.

The website also lists other qualifications people may need to be eligible for the rebates.

How much more insulation you need depends on the cost of the fuel you use to heat your home, the website states. From a purely financial standpoint, the less you pay for heating fuel, the less it makes sense for you to invest in more insulation.

The website states that homes built in the 1960s and 1970s included little insulation because the cost of fuel didnt justify an investment in insulation, but as heating costs increase, it makes more financial sense to increase insulation.

With the incentives, customers can get $1.20 per square foot for wall insulation, $6 per square foot for double pane windows, $8 per square foot for triple pane windows, and $100 for attic or crawl space air sealing.

A full list of the rebates is listed online at https://tinyurl.com/2p9x9vah. The list of eligible contractors can be found online at clarkpublicutilities.com/services/weatherization.

For more information, people can call 360-992-3355 to speak with an energy counselor.

Visitors stroll through the Lost in the Woods art installation created by students in art and writing classes during the fall semester.

A steady flow of students and other visitors toured an interdisciplinary immersive narrative installation, created by SUNY Fredonia students enrolled in writing and art courses, at The Art Market, a Main Street storefront in Fredonia, on an unusually warm December afternoon.

The collaborative effort by students in WRTG 365 Form and Theory of Writing and ARTS 340/440 3D Methods and Materials spawned loosely-tied together narratives that combined writing and sculpture. Students developed the storylines and created sculptures and other visual illustrations.

Various stations that included a small tent were spread throughout the downtown gallery to convey the stories. The Art Market is part of Main Street Studios, a downtown performing and visual arts facility owned and operated by Department of Theatre and Dance Professor Ted Sharon.

Anyone, as they come in, passes through a series of stories, explained Department of English Assistant Professor Michael Sheehan. Along the way they encounter creatures such as a unicorn in the front window and a beautifully crafted paper mch witch related to one of the stories. Its kind of like a narrative that flows through the space, Mr. Sheehan noted, through the use of words and objects.

There were essentially three narratives: about a woman, Lilly, who lives in a mythical woods surrounded by strange creatures; two brothers who get sucked into a video game, which causes their mother great distress; and the character Juniper, who possesses some sort of telekinetic ability to connect with the brothers inside the video game and is able to bridge the two storylines.

Students in their respective classes worked in groups that took ownership of a narrative, and also met together across the two classes to share ideas, Sheehan noted. For example, one student wrote a diary of one of the characters, while another student created companion illustrations.

The collaboration was really fun in that students kind of went back and forth, Department of Visual Arts and New Media Associate Professor Peter Tucker said. Students in Sheehans class came up with prompts and that led Mr. Tuckers students to think about what they could create in response. And it worked the other way, too.

"The Writing students came up with the original prompts, my students developed ideas for sculptural forms loosely based on those prompts, then Mike's students altered their narratives based on what my students were making," Tucker said."It went back and forth, which was super fun!"

Visitors could take a dive deep into the narratives, paying close attention to solve some of the mysteries presented to them reading the stories, scanning the evidence, looking at the sculptures and putting everything together, Sheehan explained, or simply take a casual approach and see whats on display. They could also take a story along with them through a QR code so the story can continue to grow, Sheehan added.

This was the first time and hopefully not the last time, Sheehan and Tucker say that their students will collaborate on a variation of an installation that involves art and the written word.

The Microsoft Windows team is starting off 2022 with a roll out of its new Media Player to more Insiders as it transitions the app as the official replacement for Groove Music.

A few months ago, Windows Insiders started getting a taste of a new replacement app for the now defunct Groove Music player with an updated Windows Media Player that took aesthetic inspiration from Windows 11's new design language.

While the app hasn't officially become the replacement app for Groove Music for every Windows 11 user, it is going through the transition for even more Insiders at the start of the year.

A recent update to Groove Music in the Microsoft Store now links to the new Media Player app. Prior to this week's update the two apps, Windows 11 Media Player and Groove sat parallel to one another and duplicated functionality.

Now it appears the Windows team is consolidating the codebase and directing all future updates to Groove to be represented as the new Media Player app, and this is good thing.

While those of who still hold nostalgia for the last remaining remnants of the Zune interface that Groove held, the new Media Player is proving to be more functional replacement.

Media Player retains the borderless window design as Groove but also incorporates clearer navigation icons for play, pause and skipping tracks. Another added benefit of the new design is better visual cohesion with the OS.

The Media Player app does retain trace elements of the color scheme of the old Groove Music player, its rounded corners, slate grey background and iconography match much closer to the new design language of Windows 11.

As far as functionality is concerned, there are a few things the new Media Player app needs to incorporate to make par with Groove or even the old Windows Media Player such as extended codec support or network support to pull media from OneDrive.

On the flipside, the Media Player does direct users to the Microsoft Store to get additionally (approved) codecs, and the player does bring a nice new equalizer setting to manually adjust the sound for music as well as pretty extensive casting menu to share content to other devices.

For local files that are recognized by the player, there are also settings to pull metadata from the cloud to fill in items such as album cover art, publishing dates and studio information.

All in all, the new Media Player is shaping up to be a great replacement for Groove, the old Windows Media Player and hopefully the Movies & TV app at some point.
