Reported pipeline explosion rocks parts of Missouri

Source: WDAF-TV Kansas City, MO

NEAR HOUSTONIA, Mo. — An overnight explosion at the Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company, near Houstonia, lit up the sky for miles around. Fox 4 viewers from more than 30 miles away have reported seeing the fireball in the sky.

Emergency crews have reported evacuations following the explosion. As of early this morning, there had not been any injuries reported — however — the situation is still developing, and local police and media are being swamped with calls for information.

Fox 4 has crews working on this story and will provide updates here and on Fox 4 as soon as they come in. In the meantime, if you have photos to share, please send them to news@wdaftv4.com.

Senator Paul Claims to Have Written Scientific Papers....

Of how many papers may Sen. Rand Paul claim authorship? I am unfamiliar with the journals in which he may have published and would not know which medical database(?) would yield an all-encompassing list of his publications (PubMed?).

It would be interesting to read his papers and see what sort of research he has done. Any help in finding the papers that he authored would be appreciated - he does not seem to include a bibliography of his writings on his Senate website.

So far, it seems that at least one review paper from 1988 may be credited to him:


Presumed autoimmune corneal endotheliopathy.
(PMID:3285693)

Paul RH
Department of Ophthalmology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710.
American Journal of Ophthalmology [1988, 105(5):519-522]
Type: Journal Article, Review

Sen. Paul claims to have written scientific papers though:


Sen. Rand Paul Wishes He Could Challenge Plagiarism Critics to a ‘Duel’; Calls Them ‘Hacks and Haters’

...

When I wrote scientific papers, I sometimes had statements with eight footnotes for one sentence. Is that what you want me to do for my speeches? If it’s required, I’ll do it,” Paul added. “But I think I’m being unfairly targeted by a bunch of hacks and haters. And I’m just not going to put up with people casting aspersions on my character.”

Has he actually written more than this one article?

LAX suspect shot TSA officer, walked away, then returned to shoot him again

Los Angeles (CNN) -- The suspected Los Angeles International Airport gunman walked up to a security checkpoint, shot a TSA officer "at point-blank range," went up an escalator, then came back down to shoot his victim again, a federal prosecutor said Saturday.

That TSA officer, Gerardo Hernandez, died of his wounds.

...

If convicted, Ciancia would face life in prison without parole or the death penalty, according to the federal prosecutor. The U.S. attorney general would decide if a death sentence would be sought.

According to Birotte, the suspect walked up to a TSA checkpoint in Terminal 3 around 9:20 a.m., pulled a "Smith & Wesson .223-caliber M&P15 assault rifle out of his bag and filed multiple rounds" at the uniformed officer.

Really...a CNN editor was proofreading this article when a barking dog may or may not have done something distracting....
