O'Neill wants NI squad 'at its strongest' for June Davis has been working as part of Michael O'Neill's coaching staff since last year Davis was speaking after being inducted into the Dr Malcolm Brodie Hall of Fame at the Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association awards He retired in January 2024 after being sidelined for more than a year with a knee injury and holds the UK men's international caps record with 140 appearances for Northern Ireland The former midfielder previously took charge of Rangers as interim manager when Michael Beale was sacked in October 2023 Since retiring he has been assisting O'Neill in preparation for Northern Ireland's games as he works towards his coaching badges "I got the opportunity out of the blue at Rangers for a couple of games as interim manager which was an unbelievable experience but now I'm with Michael and his staff I'm learning a lot when I'm away on camps," he explained "It's really good and I'm doing my coaching badges so looking forward to see what the future holds "I've got a good balance now with the international stuff but time with my family too which you miss out on a lot when you're playing football Dallas scored three goals in 62 caps for Northern Ireland Former Northern Ireland winger Stuart Dallas was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday alongside Davis He believes that O'Neill is "building something special" with the current crop of players prior to the World Cup qualifying campaign starting in September Michael has come back in for a second spell and he's lost a lot of experience," he said they're an exciting team you come to Windsor Park I think the more games they play the more experience they'll get." who was forced to retire in April 2024 because of a serious knee injury he thinks expectations should be tempered as many players navigate their first World Cup qualifying experience exciting team who have the potential to fulfil something really special but you can't put too much pressure on them."

Davis Riley drains eagle putt to make cut at THE CJ CUP Davis Riley was assessed a two-stroke penalty Saturday morning for using a distance-measuring device that had the slope feature turned on given how flat things are at TPC Craig Ranch But rules are rules – despite how new said set of rules are he said he leaned on his caddie to steer him around his second nine and to just 11 feet on the par-5 ninth and poured in the eagle putt to see him make the cut at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson on the number and that's just part of the game,” Riley said Riley had hit his tee shot on the par-3 17th to just 12 feet and was sitting at even par for the day. Riley admitted it was a bit of a fluke situation where the rangefinder was in its case and then pulled out to measure, and in that transition, a button must have accidentally been pushed. He ended up shooting 1-over 36 for his first nine holes. “It was just kind of one of those moments where your heart sinks a little bit, like you're just throwing away two shots,” Riley said. “It is what it is. That's the rules of golf. And we certainly have a trial period here with this, and I know the USGA is trying to do something about the range finder and the pace of play. Davis Riley goes flag-hunting to set up birdie at THE CJ CUP “I don't know if there's a way around it and a different angle to look at it, but, yeah, it was just a bad break. I'm just happy the way I rallied.” Riley bounced back with a birdie on the par-5 18th after the penalty and made bogeys on Nos. 3 and 6 before coming to the ninth hole telling himself he needed an eagle to find the weekend. Riley said he hit a good drive – which barely found the rough – then hit a perfectly judged 5-iron. His putt was about three inches outside left and he hit it center cut. “I was real excited about that,” Riley said. Scottie Scheffler continues to lead THE CJ CUP by six shots with the second round wrapping up Saturday afternoon due to a lengthy weather delay on Friday, with his 8-under 63 holding up as the lowest score of the second round. This is not, however, the first time that Riley has called a penalty on himself in a tournament that involves Scheffler. In the final of the 2013 U.S. Junior Amateur, Riley called a one-stroke penalty on himself when he addressed a birdie putt and his ball moved. That resulted in him losing to Scheffler 3 and 2. The times have changed, but Riley’s integrity has not. “I love this game, and that's one of the beautiful things about this game is the integrity all of us PGA TOUR players and golfers uphold that standard to ourself,” Riley said. “This is a game of integrity, so play with it and act that way.” Copyright © 2025 PGA TOUR, Inc.

Emmitsburg voted overwhelmingly for President Trump in November NPR interviewed about two dozen people here and many said his plans to cut federal spending were a key attraction they say they are puzzled as to why the administration would cancel national training for firefighters He served for two decades as superintendent of the academy which he says trained 8,000 to 10,000 firefighters on campus each year often referred to as the national war college for firefighting offers courses in everything from leadership and management for fire chiefs to how to conduct fire "The National Fire Academy takes men and women out of their comfort zone and .. exposes them to real serious tragedies and forces them to work through .. what kind of decisions they're going to make," says Onieal "Every day that this training is unavailable to the locals is one day closer to a disaster they can't handle or won't know how to handle." The Federal Emergency Management Agency oversees the academy which pays for firefighters to come to Emmitsburg FEMA did not answer directly but suggested in a statement that it had to do with travel costs "The bottom line is we are no longer paying for non-employee travel," the statement reads "We are only authorizing travel for mission critical programs Some of these classes are still available online." The fire academy website does show some upcoming in-person courses They've been left up for now in case the administration changes its mind who serves as fire chief of the Waynesboro Volunteer Fire Department nearby in Pennsylvania had applied for a weekend leadership and development course at the academy in July He voted for Trump and supports cutting waste and making government smaller But Beck doesn't see how training first responders is wasteful "We're only 100-plus days in," Beck says of Trump's current term Back in Emmitsburg, the dinner crowd is arriving at Ott House a family-run pub and home away from home for firefighters who train at the academy firefighters have left thousands of patches from their departments They include patches for a government fire bureau in Taiwan and departments in Bath Firefighters make up more than 30% of the pub's business Co-owner Susan Glass is worried about the long-term impact "I've already told a lot of our employees that it's a possibility they won't have a job for the summer but we're hoping things open back up," Glass says many of the town's residents hold out hope that the administration will see the value of the academy and start classes again Glass also voted for Trump but feels the administration is moving too fast "I agree with a lot of things that they're doing but sometimes I disagree on how they're doing them," says Glass who thinks the administration shouldn't try to do so much at once It just seems like it's just one hammer after another." Some members of Maryland's congressional delegation have pressed the administration for answers about the cancellation of the academy's classes but say they've heard nothing back "I have no idea why they're doing this," says Rep "It's extremely shortsighted and dangerous to cut this program," he says An earlier photo caption mistakenly referred to a statue of three firefighters raising a flag as the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Become an NPR sponsor Olympic Champion Tara Davis-Woodhall is set to face-off against Olympic Silver medalist Malaika Mihambo and Jasmine Moore (Olympic Bronze Medalist) in a rematch at the Diamond League meeting in Stockholm on June 15 US Audiences will be able to watch that battle LIVE on FloTrack.

Photo by Piero CRUCIATTI / AFPIt was a big weekend of firsts for Maximilian Davis he spent Sunday at Ferragamo’s New York HQ where the brand set up a makeshift atelier to put the finishing touches on the looks that’ll be walking up the museum steps.) The Italian fashion house hasn’t dressed anyone for the Met Gala since Davis took over in 2022. But this year’s exhibition and dress code—“Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and tailored to you—couldn’t be more suited for the Trinidadian-Jamaican designer from Manchester to make his debut he said at Bergdorf Goodman on Friday night His namesake brand garnered global acclaim for its modern approach to tailoring his name was brought up as one of the designers to watch for on the carpet in the lead-up to the first Monday in May (Davis didn’t just create a custom Ferragamo suit for co-chair Sir Lewis Hamilton to wear in his Law Roach-styled Vogue cover celebrating “Superfine,” he also has a couple of looks in the exhibit.) Davis is bringing three guests to the 2025 Met Gala, all dressed in looks that don’t just reflect the theme, but also celebrate the individual, he teased. Throughout his time at Ferragamo, he’s mined the brand’s extensive archives for moments of connection, often letting his discoveries inspire his collections. His much-discussed ballet-themed spring 2025 collection an African-American dancer for whom Salvatore Ferragamo made custom shoes—something Davis wouldn’t have known had he not stumbled upon the original sample This pairing of two century-old brands—Ferragamo and Bergdorf’s—was exciting for Davis: One of his first jobs was in luxury retail back in the U.K. so he has long been aware of the iconic New York store is the way it puts heritage houses alongside up-and-coming labels on the store floor it could hang alongside his work at Ferragamo.) He made a pit-stop there last time he was in town and he got recognized—something that happens more and more these days (He received a few DMs from fans that spotted him during a recent visit to Dover Street Market in Japan.) After Monday night he can probably expect that to become an even more common occurrence By Avery WilliamsPublished: May 2025 at 10:29 AM EDT|Updated: 8 hours agoEmail This LinkShare on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInGNADENHUTTEN Ohio (WOIO) - Indian Valley Local Schools are morning the death of a high school student died Saturday following a lengthy battle with an aggressive brain stem cancer Davis was described by his band community as someone with great courage and determination to live his life fully is an inspiration to us all We are profoundly grateful for the time we were able to share with him This loss is felt deeply by so many in our community Evan was a bright light and a great friend to many We will carry his memory in our hearts always Please join us in wrapping the Davis family in our thoughts and prayers as they navigate this unimaginable grief." The Davis family has shared online that Evan was diagnosed in October 2023 with a tumor on his brain stem His community came together in recent years with t-shirt and concert fundraisers to support the family Davis Reid is following the same path as his dad Both were very good high school baseball pitchers talented enough to play in college if they wanted to pursue that avenue But both were also driven by another passion — music lead singer for the legendary country group The Statler Brothers Lee High School and briefly considered going the route of college athlete What stopped him was a high school graduation speech by his dad who told the students to follow their hearts and do what makes them happy Langdon is one half of the very successful Wilson Fairchild is currently a senior at Staunton's Grace Christian School and to form their eponymous band that just recently released its debut album Jack and David Reid also has a full slate of concerts planned for the summer including Staunton's Happy Birthday America celebration on July 4 Davis is focused on baseball as Grace prepares for the postseason The 6-foot-5 right-hander is 4-1 with two saves allowing just three earned runs over 28 innings on the mound He also has struck out 70 batters and walked just 12 carrying a .389 average with seven extra-base hits "Davis is definitely the leader of our ball team both on and off the field," said Grace coach Michael Mallory The thing I love most about Davis is that he just flat out enjoys the game." More: Staunton City Schools purchases former Eavers property for new operations center even if things don't go Davis's way on the field the senior keeps the great attitude and disposition that any coach wants in a leader "He plays the game like it should be played which means competing with every ounce of God given talent he has while remembering that the goal of any game he plays is to enjoy it and have fun," Mallory said the pop of the ball in the catcher's mitt when the batter misses one of his fastballs "I like controlling the game," he said about pitching Davis didn't play basketball his senior season As the popularity of Jack and Davis Reid has grown the group has been booking more and more gigs He looked at the basketball schedule and his concert schedule and realized there were about 10 dates that overlapped "I didn't want to be selfish and play like four games," he said "That was unfair to the guys who were playing and to the coach .. I felt like they would jell better without me there." He did find time to get in the gym for workouts this winter putting on some extra muscle for baseball season That is one reason he's having such a great senior season why his pitches have more zip on them and his bat has a little more pop this spring "He has the perfect balance of competitiveness and joy for playing the game," Langdon said "Which is refreshing in today’s sports climate.” Langdon and Davis spend a lot of time talking baseball so there's no better teacher as Davis navigates his busy schedule "I don't come home and need to have a baseball in my hand like I need to have a piano or guitar in my hand," he said That's interesting since Davis had been playing baseball since he was 7 but only seriously playing music for the last four years Jack had tried to convince his younger cousin to sing with him for years even offering to pay him if he joined Jack on stage at a school talent show He thought at the time that the music gene just skipped him In 2021 Davis heard the piano intro to Chicago's "Saturday in the Park." He loved it so much that he watched YouTube videos to learn how to play it a group that has booked close to 100 shows this year with more open dates He's missed one baseball game because of music this spring his dad and his baseball coach for helping him strike the right balance between music but they also realize he wants to enjoy his final baseball season "Davis' passion is definitely his music and I know he brings that same work ethic enthusiasm and joy to that part of his life as well," Mallory said "I hope and pray he'll be just as entertaining and successful on stage as he has been on the diamond."

The Eagles announced on Wednesday that they have exercised the fifth-year option for Jordan Davis the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft The defensive tackle cracked the rotation as a rookie in 2022 playing in 13 games to earn a spot on the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie team before starting all 34 regular-season games in the 2023 and 2024 seasons Davis stepped up for the Eagles' defense in the 2024 NFC Championship and Super Bowl LIX victories and 5.5 sacks during his time in the league "We have tremendous confidence and faith in Jordan Davis," Executive Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman said "You just see a guy who elevated in the postseason and really counted on him continuing to develop and that's what this is you continue to develop and you continue to get better and that's what I think we're seeing from Jordan." I think that's why you see him continuing to get better I feel like every time you guys ask me about somebody I kind of start talking about how good of a teammate he is This guy is infectious around the team and what he brings," Head Coach Nick Sirianni said about Davis prior to Super Bowl LIX "He just brings so much to the team as far as his personality He had a big sack last game that we played and he's been very important to this defense." Davis has brought his Georgia Bulldog pedigree to Philadelphia as the former 2021 National Champion has appeared in two Super Bowls in three seasons with the Eagles native has started all 17 regular-season games in back-to-back seasons with the Eagles after working hard to improve his shape and condition during the offseason "I think Jordan has been doing better and better here as of late and I do think he's improving," Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio said Davis will head into Year 4 looking to continue the improvement he has made over the last three seasons And the Georgia Bulldogs remain a strong presence in Philadelphia "My mom (Shay Allen) is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan so she loves it more than I do and I'm just ready to get out there and see the team I visited the Eagles and that visit was special That they really cared about their players I'm excited to get there," Davis said after being drafted in 2022 "I feel like defensive line is an unselfish position – it can get selfish if you make it – but I think the guys that we have and the guys that I play with are unselfish as hell They will give you the shirt off their back and that's just the type of people they are happy for other people when they make plays and that's all you can hope for." – Written by Liam Wichser Find out as the competition heats up in Round 2 of Powerful Connections 'What's your nickname?' become a heated debate Make sure you're in a room where you can laugh out loud Jackson took part in this weekend's Rookie Minicamp on a tryout basis The following UDOT Traffic Alert has been posted on the UDOT Traffic website.

Multiple polls show that his polling is lower on issues from the economy to immigration than any modern president and than any president in the last 80 years. The New York Times ran a front-page headline “There Have Never Been 100 Days Like This.” And at the same time you have judge after judge ruling against President Trump And this especially goes to the issue of those who stood up for Palestinian rights who have been detained like the Columbia University student and Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi who a judge has just released in Vermont and will be graduating from Columbia “The court also considers the extraordinary setting of this case and others like it Legal residents — not charged with crimes or misconduct — are being arrested and threatened with deportation for stating their views on the political issues of the day.” The judge went on “Our nation has seen times like this before especially during the Red Scare and Palmer Raids of 1919-1920 that led to the deportation of hundreds of people suspected of anarchist or communist views.” I’m wondering: Are you seeing a sea change at this point and hundreds of thousands of people in the streets — what does this say to you as you’ve been such a longtime activist I think it is important to acknowledge that Trump was not elected by a majority of the people in this country more people did not vote for Trump as voted — than voted for him we’re not seeing a president who has the power of the people behind him And I think that as those of us who are standing for justice and for freedom and for a better future it’s essential to recognize that we are actually in the majority and therefore he and his people get to dictate the direction of history an enormous amount of damage is being done And we know from the last administration the kind of damage that was done to the court system in this country for which it will require untold numbers of years to recuperate from that I think that those of us who have been around for a long time recognize that what is happening at this moment does not dictate what is going to be happening tomorrow the last 100 days appear to have been an eternity and I don’t think anyone has ever experienced this kind of horrendous damage being done by a person holding the executive power within such a short period of time I think we should stand back and look at history and recognize that tomorrow will not be a reflection of what is happening in this moment that like the Palestinian people and the 100-year war against the Palestinian people large acts of resistance and small acts of resistance we are the ones who are going to be able to determine the direction of history ANGELA DAVIS: And you were talking about — you were asking me to — NERMEEN SHAIKH: We’re going to have to leave it there We are hiring for an Individual Giving Manager to support our fundraising team “There is very serious interest from the NBA for Nigel Hayes-Davis and Tarik Biberovic,” Yannier said ‘I want to try in the NBA,’ we won’t stand in their way.” had a brief NBA stint during the 2017/18 season The former Wisconsin standout has been playing overseas since then in Turkey and Spain and has been a member of Fenerbahce since 2022 He has averaged a team-best 16.8 points and 5.2 rebounds in 31.1 minutes per game across 37 EuroLeague appearances this season While that deal was said to be for three years it sounds like it includes an NBA opt-out clause the 6’7″ wing was selected 56th overall in the 2023 NBA draft by the Grizzlies he would have to negotiate exclusively with Memphis The 24-year-old has been one of Fenerbahce’s most reliable shooters in recent years he averaged 10.5 PPG and 3.1 RPG in 35 EuroLeague outings (22.7 MPG) with a 43.8% mark on 5.0 three-point attempts per contest Biberovic is on a long-term deal with the Turkish club but the contracts includes NBA outs after each season Fenerbahce has qualified for the EuroLeague Final Four and leads Turkey’s domestic league with a 25-2 regular season record so the team will be vying for a pair of titles this spring Log in Register Register Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article Davis later lent her voice to Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) Davis’s memoir, Finding Me, was published in 2022.
