A western New York nun admitted she stole $128,000 to feed her
gambling habit, prosecutors said. Sister Mary Anne Rapp of the Order
of St. Francis pleaded guilty in Orleans County Court to one count of
fourth-degree grand larceny, District Attorney Joe Cardone said. A

donations for the two parishes Rapp stole the money from St. Mark's
Church in Holley, N.Y., about 60 miles northeast of Buffalo. The
thefts occurred from 2006 to 2011. Western New York state's Daily News

Is it Good to Stare at a Woman's Breast?

Is it really bad to stare at a girl's breasts? Are there any health
benefits of staring at a girl's cleavage? Also, what do women really
think when they catch you staring at their breasts? Find out here.
Firstly, if you think that you shouldn't be doing it, don't.

It's definitely not good to stare at girl's breast or her cleavage,
especially if you're out of their league, perhaps because of the age
difference, or some other reason. In every possible manner, staring or
trying to read a woman's tee shirt is rude.
Staring at a woman's breasts…is like looking at the sun. You're
supposed to just take one peek and then look away!"
All men know this, women love shopping. They love shopping for good
clothes that accentuate their assets.
Some women however, like to wear as little as morally possible. Maybe
it's because they get hot and sweaty easily, or because they're
allergic to some sort of clothing, or perhaps they just like the way
they look in 'little clothes'. Obviously, it's not because they want
to attract your annoying eyes, is it?! No no… they really don't want
that.
Or at least that's how they behave when men stare at them. So the next
time you get a sudden urge to stare, look away after taking a small
look at her breasts or her tee shirt.
Respect her decision to look good and don't look cheap by staring at
her like you're a horny zombie!
Do women like it when you stare at their breasts or look down their cleavage?
Women may like it when men stare at them, but they look for a few
specific types of men. Women call this select breed of men "Cute" or
"Hot". Other men and unappreciated men are called"perverts". These
include losers, droolers, morons, and touchy feely men with hands in
their pants, especially in parks and lonely streets.
Says Jennifer, 24 " I don't mind when guys that I appreciate, stare at
me. It can feel good at times, especially if I want him to take
another glance." But what about staring at her breasts? "Well, I guess
men do that anyways. If it's a good looking guy, then I wouldn't mind.
It doesn't hurt to know that a cute guy likes your body, does it?" she
says.
Most women though, feel uncomfortable about it. Some of the younger
ladies, especially ones who have just started getting the attention of
men, hate the fact that their shirts fit so well. But the ones who
have overcome that phase of their lives, realize that men look at
women's tee shirts whether it fitswell or not, so what the hell! The
men are going to look anyways.
Health benefits of staring at a woman's breast
Surprisingly, it has now been proved that staring at a pair of good
looking breasts is actually really good for your health! Great news
for girl watchers, it is proved that ogling at women's breasts is good
for a man's health and can add years to his life, medical experts have
discovered, according to the New England Journal of Medicine. Just ten
minutes of staring at the charms of a well endowed female such as
Baywatch actress Pamela Lee is equivalent to a 30 minute aerobics work
out!
There are several doctors and scientists out there who have proved
that staring at a good pair of bosoms everyday for just ten minutes
can actually extend your lifetime by almost 5 years! Doctors now
encourage men to watch these women in movies, and in shows that
enhance the assets of women. But then again, there are several others
who say this research has no strong grounds or proof and was probably
conducted by a bunch of pervs who wanted to "legalize" staring at
boobs.
But whether it's good for your health or not, it doesn't mean you
should just ogle at any woman who passes by you on the street, instead
save all your drooling stares for the movies or television shows

Ancient prophecies: Pope Francis Could be the last

WHEN the great 16th Century prophet Nostradamus stared into the
future, he described the fate of the final pope with eerie detail. And
the first sign will soon be in our skies.
The 266th pope now sits on the Throne of St Peter. According to the
pen of several prophets, he will be the last.
One prophet, a Saint of the Catholic Church, counted down the popes
until the end of the world. After Pope Francis there are no more on
that list.
Nostradamus himself foresaw the end of a pope and the Church itself at
a time when a great comet was to fill our skies. Comet Ison, said to
be one of the brightest for centuries, will pass by later this year.
Their ancient words have set speculation ablaze on internet forums and
in social media debates.
Anything mentioning Nostradamus is bound to fire up imaginations.
From his smoke-filled room in 16th century Renaissance France, the
prophet wrote oneof his characteristically tantalising four-line
prophetic "quatrains":
Quatrain II.46
"The great star for seven days shall burn
So nakedly clear like two suns appearing
The large dog all night howling, While the great Pontiff shall change
his territory."
Astronomers have announced that Comet Ison, which will pass later this
year, could end up being brighter than the moon - if it survives its
encounter with the sun.
This has been seized upon as evidence that Nostradamus's words are
about to come to pass.
Another of Nostradamus's writings has also beenassociated with the end
of the Catholic Church:
Quatrain VI.6:
There will appear towards the North
Not far from Cancer the bearded star:
Susa, Siena, Boeotia, Eretria,
The great one of Romewill die, the night over.
Again a portentous comet is mentioned inassociation with a fateful
event involving"the great one of Rome", a phrase he repeatedly used to
refer to the Catholic Church.
As with all of Nostradamus' prophecies, these quatrains have been
applied to various events over the centuries - most recently Pope John
Paul II.
However, in this case, Nostradamus was not the only one to foretell
the fate of the Catholic Church's final leader.
It is the writings of Saint Malachy, an archbishop of the 1100s, which
definitively states this will be the pope of theend times.
A Benedictine monk claimed to have discovered in 1595 a collection of
the Saint's papers where he had purportedly secretly written down 112
brief but vague prophecies. Each is associated with the reign of an
individual pope.
The last phrase applies to Pope Francis:
Verse 112:
"In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit
Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and
when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be
destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End."
Such vague words are widely open to interpretation and willno doubt
continue to generate speculation - even if another pope is elected.
And if Nostradamus and Saint Malachy are proven wrong, one can always
fall back on prophecies from the likes of Sir Isaac Newton who
predicts - based on his biblical calculations - that the world will
end in 2060.

Police Arrests Assistant Principal For Having Sexual Relations With 3 Underage Male Students

Erin Henton, A California woman is accused of having sexual
relationships with three underage male students who attend the
Riverside County high school where she acts as assistant principal.
Mrs. Henton, 45, an administrator at Tahquitz High School in Hemet,
Calif. , was arrested Wednesday following a month-long investigation
by local police. Henton was arrested on suspicion of sexual battery,
oral copulation and abnormal sexual interest in children. She is also
accused of sending harmful/inappropriate matter via electronic device.
According to KLTA report, the charges against Henton include 12
felonies , seven of which are for sexual intercourse with a minor. She
is being held on $1 million bail.
Police allege that Henton carried on sexual relationships with three
boys under the age of 18 throughout the course of several months but
say that no encounters took place at the school. Hemet police Lt.
Duane Wisehart told NBC Los Angeles that Henton allegedly exchanged
"improper, illegal" images with the boys via text message.
In a statement issued by the department, police said that Henton was
placed on paid leave March 8 after allegations were made by a parent.
According to the New York Daily News, Henton began meeting one of the
boys outside of school in September, and their relationship continued
until the police investigation was launched

Kanye Dumps Kim For Adding Weight

A new report In Touch Weekly claims the pregnant reality star Kim
Kardashian has been dumped by Kanye West because she cannot... stop...
eating.
On March 17, a patron at South City Kitchen in Atlanta says Kim chowed
down greasy chicken and waffles, along with smashed bliss potatoes,
collard greens and mac and cheese.
"She hasn't just gained 20 pounds like she claims," a friend tells the
tabloid . "She'd already gained 45 to 50 when she still had four
months to go!"
Kim's weight has been the subject of the paparazzi for weeks, causing
Helena Christensen to recently come out in defense of Kardashian .
If only Kanye felt the same way, though, as the magazine claims he
has"deserted" his baby mama when she needs him most, spending most of
this time these days in Paris.
Kardashian, however, has denied this assertion, saying in a recent
interview that West loves her growing body.

What it Takes to Qualify for U.S Visa Lettery

To compensate for its tight immigration measures, The United States of
America open its doors yearly in a U.S Green Card (Visa) Lottery to
about 50000 foreigners who wish to come and live in the United States
of America and become citizens of the country. In general, more than
150 countries are eligible to participate in the U.S DV Lottery
program while there are a few that are not eligible; one of the
reasons for the ineligibility is that some of the following countries
have more of their citizens immigrate into the United States over the
past 5 years: Brazil, Canada, China (Mainland), Colombia, South Korea,
Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico,
Pakistan, Peru, Poland,United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and
its dependent territories, Dominican Republic and Vietnam.The list of
countries and their eligibility status changes every year with each
application and can only be confirmed at the time of application from
the US Lottery official website.
This lottery program was developed in the spirit of multiculturalism
and although governed by the principles of chance, is not as simple as
the lottery on Sunday, since it is not enough to buy a ticket to be
able to participate on it.
While the United States Department of State which is in charge of the
lottery accepts application every year, there is no definite timing to
this but online applications are usually open towards the end of every
year between the first week of October and ends within a one month
period within the first week of November.
The Diversity Visa Lottery allows a maximum of 50,000 randomly
selected applicants from qualifying countries an opportunity to live
and work permanently in the United States, with a path for U.S.
citizenship.
Applications are usually made online and at this web address
www.dvlottery.state.gov . Eligibility criteria including qualifying
countries can also be found at that link.
Requirements For a U.S Diversity Visa Lottery (US Green Card Lottery)
As part of the application, you would be required to do the following:

1. Fill an online form that will contain your birth, nationality and
education details.

2. Attach a compliant and recent digital photograph of yours. The
photographs require a great dealof attention to ensure that it meets
the required specifications.

3. You would be required to include details of your dependents if you have any.

You or your spouse must be native to a country that is eligible; you
can also be an applicant if one of your parents was born in a country
that is eligible to participate.

be given a unique reference/ serial number for you to remember as that
is what you will use to check the outcome of your application in due
course.
Each applicant can be able to check the status of their application at
www.dvlottery.state.gov usually starting from 1st May of the
following year.

The Forbes Five: Hip-hop's wealthiest artists 2013

Diddy ranks No. 1 on this year's Forbes Five, our list of hip-hop's
wealthiest artists, with an estimated net worth of $580 million. The
bulk of the Bad Boy Records founder's wealth comes from non-musical
ventures, namely his deal with Diageo's Ciroc. The agreement entitles
himto eight-figure annual payouts and a nine-figure windfall if the
brand is ever sold—and Ciroc's value has never been higher.
"It is one of the fastest-growing brands within vodka," says Jack
Russo, an equity analyst at Edward Jones & Co. "Consumers are feeling
a little bit better about their situation, and with that, they're
willing to spend more on premium products."

The No. 2 spot goes to Shawn"Jay-Z" Carter, with a net worth of $475
million. He's still rolling in cash from megadeals like his $204
million Rocawear sale in 2007 and his $150 million pact with Live
Nation the following year. He continues to hold stakes in Roc Nation,
Carol's Daughter, the Brooklyn Nets—and, more significantly, the
Barclays Center itself—while adding new partnerships with the likes of
Duracell, Budweiser and Bacardi's D'ussé Cognac. (For more on his rise
as a businessman, check out "Empire State of Mind: How Jay-Z Went From
Street Corner To Corner Office").

Andre "Dr. Dre" Young ranks third with $350 million, thanks mostly to
his Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. A year after selling 51% of the
company to handset maker HTC for $300 million in August 2011, Dre and
his partners bought back half of the half they sold in 2012—and their
investment continues to soar in value due to Beats' whooping 65%
market share of the premium ($99 and up) headphone market.

Bryan "Birdman" Williams owns the No. 4 spot, riding his Cash
Money/Young Money empire to a fortune of $150 million. His roster
includes Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne (the latter crossed the $100
million threshold for the first time this year, by our estimates, but
remains just outside the top five). Birdman also recently launched a
YMCMB clothing line and a spirit called GTVodka.
"We have to build different brands," he told FORBES last month.
"That's what it's all about."

Rounding out the list is Curtis"50 Cent" Jackson at $125 million. He's
another master of brand building: The bulk of his fortune came from
heavy sales ofhis music, merchandise, video games and books in the
wake of his smash debut Get Rich or Die Tryin'—and particularly from
his payout for the sale of his stake in Vitamin Water parent Glacéau
to Coca-Cola in 2007.
Now he's trying to replicate that feat with companies like SMS Audio,
his answer to Dr. Dre's Beats, and SK Energy, which has its sights set
on category leader 5-Hour Energy. When informed that his net worth
would be estimated at a little over $100 million this year, 50 Cent
said simply, "That's cool." After being asked to elaborate, though, he
changed his tune slightly.
"Oh, you want me to tell you an exact number?" he said with a grin.
"I've got way more."
If his new ventures continue to grow, 50 Cent's number on this list
should begin to reflect that belief as soon as next year.
As for Diddy, he may need to stick to Benjamins after all. According
to a recent tally, there were only 165,372 $1,000 bills still in
use—not even enough to cover one-third of Diddy's fortune.
