Seattle’s Civil War, A Dispute In Fla

A raid of 150 years ago by supporters of the Confederacy at Fort Union, what is now Naval Air Station Pensacola was probably little more than a poorly planned accident and drunk, ended perhaps a warning shot soldier - and a blank space thereon.
It is a nondescript corner of Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, near Lake View Cemetery. On Tuesday, after 150 years, the day after the first shots of the Civil War were fired, when Confederate forces attacked a U.S. military base at Fort Sumter in South Carolina, the small cemetery was mostly quiet. The only sound was the steady rhythm of a rope that holds the stars and stripes, and he hit his iron bar. The dogs barking nearby and budding leaves blowing in the breeze.

Muslim women protest against burqa ban
Paris - Since Monday is a burqa ban in France - and immediately, the police arrested two veiled women. However, the two had created it out to be warned. They had dressed in a full-body veil with other women in front of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris against the entry into force of the law demonstrated. In their view, it violates the freedom of expression and religion. The police finally took it not been for their clothing, but because they had not signed the protest.
