Labs urged to destroy pandemic flu strain:

The vials of virus sent by a U.S. company went to nearly 5,000 labs, mostly in the United States, officials said...It was not immediately clear why the 1957 pandemic strain, which killed between 1 million and 4 million people - was in the proficiency test kits routinely sent to labs..."

*HISTORY*

(from HistoryDaily.com)

April 12, 2005 on this day:

In 1861 Confederate batteries shelled Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor beginning the American Civil War. By this time the states of the Deep South had seceded from the United States. Most federal territory, including the forts, had been taken by Confederate forces without resistance. Fort Sumter, however, remained in Union hands. President Abraham Lincoln refused to give up the fort, and in April he sent an expedition to re-provision it. Confederate authorities considered this a hostile act and early on April 12 shore batteries opened fire on the fort. After 24 hours of being shelled Fort Sumter surrendered. Amazingly neither side suffered any casualties. The South had won a victory but bore the burden of firing the first shot of the war.
