At least three separate explosions caused by homemade bombs hit crowded commercial centers in the city; as of 5:03 CDT, no claims for responsibility have made.

A book not Woo enough for American publishers

James Randi writes about Paranormality: Why we see what isn't there by Richard Wiseman:

This refusal of U.S. publishers to accept a book – they were “reluctant to support a skeptical book, with some suggesting that I re-write it to suggest that ghosts were real and psychic powers actually existed!” – offends me, and I hope that it strikes you the same way. Now that we know Paranormality is available, and how to purchase it, please do so – either in solid form (available next week at TAM), or on Kindle.  The only way that publishers can be reached is through their income, and I want this book to show them that the American public really does have an interest in the skeptical viewpoint!

Available for Kindle users right here, BTW.
