  Only 22, the younger Ortiz has racked up 16 wins on 16 knockouts and for years has been considered by many a future star in boxing’s 147-pound division and beyond.

  13-10-2020 23:45
  
  The Chargers have a reputation for losing in heartbreaking fashion. They know final-drive pain. They know the agony of missed field goals. They know game-ending interceptions.
  It happened often with Philip Rivers under center. It’s happening again with rookie quarterback Justin Herbert.
  Blown leads have become common during Anthony Lynn’s four years as head coach, but what transpired the past four weeks might be a new level of one-score torment for the Chargers (1-4).

  The Trump administration argued that the head count needed to end immediately so the U.S. Census Bureau had enough time to crunch the numbers before a

  The growth and maturity of UCLA’s offensive line will go in long way in determing what quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson can do along with the Bruins’ stable of backs, and the return of sophomore guard Sean Rhyan is a big factor.

• Is it legal for me to have a space burial? Ask the lawyer

  -R.C., Seal Beach
  Ron Sokol
  A: First, embalming, burial and cremation are regulated, including if ashes are to be scattered. As to outer space, the law requires the ashes to remain in a container; it is not permissible for your ashes to be spread in space, as if being scattered at sea. Research further indicates only a portion of ashes may be included so that the container is not too large. In som
