SEATTLE, WA - The Seattle Police Department is still investigating a shooting that took place Sunday afternoon in the parking lot of an Auto Zone, that left three men injured, and a 2-year-old little girl in critical condition. 

The Grangeville-native partnered with the Department of Geography and Geological Sciences’ Grant Harley and doctoral student Ben Spie to test the “blue light intensity” technique on deciduous trees. Spie collected cores from Engelmann spruce and aspen in southern Idaho. They chose to focus on aspen because these trees are in decline in southern Idaho and other parts of the Rocky Mountain states. Asker prepared more than 380 cores before the team tested the blue light intensity technique, using the spruce cores as a comparison.

The bloodiest four years in American history begin when Confederate shore batteries under General P.G.T. Beauregard open fire on Union-held Fort Sumter in South Carolina’s Charleston Bay. During the next 34 hours, 50 Confederate guns and mortars launched more than 4,000 rounds at the poorly supplied fort. On April 13, U.S. Major Robert Anderson surrendered the fort. Two days later, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling for 75,000 volunteer soldiers to quell the Southern “insurrection.”

Every year on April 12, Americans celebrate National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, one of America's favorite comfort foods.
