    Burnout 2020
    What will a presidential campaign look like in an age of burnout? We may be about to find out.
    Amnesty International defines burnout as a phenomenon of depleted emotional and psychological reserves—a measure they care about because of the sharp limits it can impose on activists. But of course it isn’t just the political professionals who can find themselves hitting a wall.

    Spacecraft’s impact changed asteroid’s orbit around the sun in a save-the-Earth test, study finds
    By MARCIA DUNN, AP Aerospace Writer
    CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — An asteroid that NASA used for target practice a few years ago was nudged into a slightly different route around the sun, findings that could help divert a future incoming killer space rock, scientists reported Friday.
    It’s the first time that a celestial body’s orbit around the sun was deliberately changed. The asteroid that NASA’s Dart spacecraft slammed into was never a threat to Earth.

    Derek Tran: Congress cannot be a bystander to another forever war
    Before I had even graduated high school, I knew I wanted to devote my life to service. My parents escaped communist Vietnam with little more than a dream for a better life. Working towards that dream put clothes on our backs, food on our table, and an education that would help me thrive. It’s why I marched into a recruiter’s office when I was 18 to give back to the country that gave my family everything.
    In 2003, when I was a senior in college, just months away from graduation, I was

    Last season, the Galaxy struggled with production out of the forward position.
    With Riqui Puig on the season-ending injury list, the Galaxy made a big offseason move in acquiring João Klauss in a cash trade with St. Louis CITY SC.
    In the first two league games, Klauss has three goals, including a pair in last Saturday’s 3-0 win over Charlotte FC. He also had the assist on the lone goal in the CONCACAF Champi

    USC men look to snap six-game skid in UCLA rematch
    The USC men’s basketball season has unraveled rapidly.
