| Five questions about Paris for Clinton, Sanders, and O’Malley Posted: 14 Nov 2015 12:04 PM PST  Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O'Malley will face off Saturday in their second debate, their fight for the Democratic presidential nomination transformed by the devastating terrorist attacks in Paris Friday.

| Hundreds of Mormons plan to resign in Utah same-sex policy protest Posted: 14 Nov 2015 03:24 AM PST  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has long opposed same-sex marriage, but has angered some members with a new directive on how it should deal with Mormon families headed by wedded gay and lesbian couples. The policy, approved last week by leaders of the church, which claims more than 15 million adherents worldwide, added same-sex marriage to the list of acts considered to be a renunciation of the faith and thus subject to church discipline, including excommunication.
