Mesa Police say officers responded on June 27 just before 10 p.m. to a Target near Southern Avenue and Longmore for reports of a fire. Once at the scene, officers went inside with a fire extinguisher but had to leave because of the amount of smoke inside the store. Firefighters arrived at the Target and extinguished the flames. Investigators determined that two separate fires were set inside the store one in the baby diaper aisle, and the second on a piece of clothing on the floor. "Target reported the amount of damage caused by the fire was upwards of $5,000,000 as toxic smoke had contacted all the merchandise inside the store in addition to fire suppression sprinklers flooding the area," police wrote in a news release. Police viewed surveillance footage and noticed a man walking through the store, placing items in a shopping cart before the fires were started. "This man picks up a shirt resembling the one that was set on fire. He hastily moves from the area, toward electronics as smoke is starting to invade the store," police said. "The man watches the fire grow and then attempts to break into a case of cell phones with a hammer but is unsuccessful." The man allegedly took several items of stolen merchandise before leaving the store and fleeing in a black car. Police obtained the vehicle's license plate and identified the suspect as 31-year-old Daniel Hull, who was already in custody from an unrelated arrest. "Hull was interviewed by officers and admitted to starting the fires," police said. Hull was booked into jail and is accused of multiple charges, including arson, endangerment, shoplifting and criminal damage. ___________________________________________________ A man is taking an English class where the instructor is discussing the Greek origins of many English words.

Thank you. Can you tell me if there is a way to record from a Cassette to a CD? I have an Iomega Super DVD/CD burner that I can record from my camcorder to, but haven't figured out the cassette. Thanks for any help. Jerome Dear Jerome Yes, sure there is a way. Connect a cable with male 1/8" headphone plugs on each end from the headphone socket on your tape player to the AUX-IN or the microphone socket on your computer, then record it with any sound recording software. The AUX-IN socket is the one that has neither a headphone nor a microphone symbol, but something weird and incomprehensible. AUX-IN is usually colored blue. Most sound cards come with some basic sound recording software, and you can find lots more with google. Windows Sound Recorder works too. My favorite is Audacity Have FUN! DearWebby ___________________________________________________________ Two boys were arguing when the priester entered the room. The priester says, "Why are you arguing?" One boy answers, "We found a ten dollar bill and decided to give it to the person who tells the biggest lie." "You should be ashamed of yourselves," said the priester, "When I was your age, I didn't even know what a lie was." The boys gave the ten dollars to the priester. ___________________________________________________ If you can spare a coin, PLEASE hit PayPal with it! _____________________________________________________ Thanks to Dave for ths story: The parents in our cycling group were discussing the subject of teenagers and their appetites. Most agreed that teenagers would eat anything, anywhere and at any time. Some were concerned that such appetites always made it hard to judge when you should feed them because they were always grazing. A veteran parent of six children told us of his method for judging the true hunger of teenagers. "I would hold up a piece of cold, cooked broccoli, and if they were jumping and snapping at it, I figured they were hungry enough to be fed." __________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the humor letter, please donate what you can!
