COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Devin Brown, who is competing with Kyle McCord for the Ohio State starting quarterback’s job, had surgery on his throwing hand Wednesday and will miss the rest of spring practice.Coach Ryan Day said McCord and Oregon State transfer Tristan Gebbia would be the top two quarterbacks in the spring game Saturday.McCord has more experience than Brown and is considered the front-runner to succeed C.J. Stroud. McCord started against Akron in 2021 and appeared in seven games last season as the top backup.Brown, who redshirted last season and did not play in a game, had surgery on a finger on his right hand. Day, who didn’t disclose how or when Brown was hurt, said Brown should resume throwing soon.Day said the competition between McCord and Brown remains too close to call.“It would be nice to have it be black and white,” he said. “I can’t sit here and tell you it is right now.

(CNN Español) — El gobierno de Perú envió una comunicación diplomática a todos los miembros de la Alianza del Pacífico y pidió realizar consultas con el objetivo de llevar a cabo el traspaso de la presidencia pro tempore del organismo, que debía efectuarse en enero de 2023.Actualmente, la presidencia pro tempore de la Alianza del Pacífico la ejerce México, cuyo presidente, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, se ha negado a entregarla dado que no reconoce al gobierno de Perú, liderado por la presidenta Dina Boluarte, que asumió el gobierno tras la destitución de Pedro Castillo luego de que este intentara disolver el Congreso de manera inconstitucional.En este sentido, el 17 de febrero, López Obrador afirmó en conferencia de prensa que consideraba “espurio” al gobierno de Boluarte y puso en manos de los miembros del Grupo de Río la decisión acerca de a qué país le corresponde liderar la Alianza del Pacífico.Dina Boluarte retira al embajador de Perú en México tras acusar a A...US intelligence leak complicates summit with South Korea

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Leaked U.S. intelligence documents suggesting that Washington spied on South Korea have put the country’s president in a delicate situation ahead of a state visit to the U.S., the first such trip by a South Korean leader in 12 years.The documents contain purportedly private conversations between senior South Korean officials about Ukraine, indicating that Washington may have conducted surveillance on a key Asian ally even as the two nations publicly vowed to reinforce their alliance.Since taking office last year, conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol has put a bolstered military partnership with the United States at the heart of his foreign policy to address intensifying North Korean nuclear threats and other challenges. The April 26 summit with President Joe Biden is seen as crucial to winning a stronger U.S. security commitment and resolving grievances over the Biden administration’s economic and technology policies.The leaked documents were posted o...Rockies RHP Márquez goes on IL with forearm inflammation

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — One of two Black Democrats expelled from the Republican-led Tennessee House will return to the Legislature after a Memphis commission voted to reinstate him Wednesday, nearly a week after his banishment for supporting gun control protesters propelled him into the national spotlight.The Shelby County Board of Commissioners voted 7-0 to reinstate Justin Pearson as a state representative.“I will continue to fight with and for our people, whether in or out of office. We and the young protesters are the future of a new Tennessee. Those who seek to silence us will not have the final say,” Pearson wrote in an op-ed published in The New York Times.Republicans expelled Pearson and Rep.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday insisted that France’s dispatch of a frigate to Taiwan showed its commitment to regional security, but doubled down on his remarks that France would not act as a “vassal” by following U.S. hardliners into a conflict over the democratic island. “Being allies doesn’t mean being vassals … Just because we are allies, just because we do things together that we decide to do, doesn’t mean that we don’t have the right to think on our own and that we will follow the most extreme people in a country that is allied with us,” Macron said during a joint press conference with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on a visit to the Netherlands. “When we look at the facts, France has no lessons to learn from anyone, not in the Ukrainian theater, nor the Sahel theater, nor the Taiwan theater,” Macron said.His comments come after he told POLITICO and the French newspaper Les Echos that ...Your tax refund could be smaller than last year.

NEW YORK (AP) — Expecting a tax refund? It could be smaller than last year. And with inflation still high, that money won’t go as far as it did a year ago.The 90 million taxpayers who have filed as of March 31 got refunds that were an average of nearly 10% less than last year, in part due to pandemic relief programs expiring. The filing deadline for most taxpayers is Tuesday.The average refund is $2,910, down from $3,226, a difference of more than $300, according to the most recent IRS data.For many households, especially working families, the tax refund is the biggest one-time financial windfall of the year, said Kathy Pickering, chief tax officer of H&R Block.“We know that working families in general are the most cash-strapped,” she said, adding that the expanded earned income tax and child tax credits during the COVID pandemic provided a lot of benefits for families with children.The child tax credit, for example, is reverting to $2,0...How a viral Snoopy T-shirt is influencing young people to donate blood
