Police wanted to talk with her boyfriend.

Her father described Wimmer as "a great kid," who "was always there for you, no matter what." Her father also thought that she had enemies.

Priests Were Sentenced For Stealing From Church

Two disregarded Roman Catholic priests were sentenced to prison in a case involving the misappropriation of more than $8 million from their church. The judge called this kind of theft as “greed unmasked.”

The two priests were John Skehan and Francis Guinan.They were accused in 2006 of skimming money from collection plates and bequests at their church in Delray Beach, Florida, and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on real estate, travel, rare coins and girlfriends.

Guinan, 66, was sentenced 4 years in prison after taking the case to trial and being found guilty of a lesser charge of theft under $100,000. Skehan, 81, was sentenced to 14 months in prison and seven years probation after pleading guilty in January to a charge of grand theft of over $100,000.

Judge Jeffrey Colbath said, “The crime of the defendant was pure greed unmasked. There was not a shred of moral necessity to excuse the defendant’s crime,”

On the other hand Judge Krista Marx said Guinan must be punished for “unmitigated greed and unmitigated gall,”“No matter how many good works you have performed in your many years as a priest, your legacy will always be one of thievery and deceit,” she also added.

The priests were charged in September 2006. At that time police said they had gathered money from collection plates into secret slush funds, using some of it for church projects and part for vacations, property and gambling trips to Las Vegas and the Bahamas.

Jokes of The Day

While the pope was visiting the USA, he told the driver of his limo that he has the sudden urge to drive. The driver was a good Catholic man, and would not ever dream of questioning the pope's authority. So the pope sat at the wheel, while his driver got in the back.

They were traveling down the road doing between 70 and 80 mph, when a policeman happened to see them. As he pulled them over, he called in to headquarters reporting a speeding limo, with a VIP inside it.

The chief asked: "Who is in the limo, the mayor?"

The policeman told him: "No, someone more important than the mayor."

Then the chief asked "Is it the governor?"

The policeman answered: "No, someone more important than the governor."

The chief finally asked: "Is it the President?"

The policeman answered: "No, someone even more important than the President."

This made the chief very angry and he bellowed: "Now who is more important than the President?!"

The policeman calmly wispered: "I'll put it to you this way chief. I don't know who is this guy, but he has the pope as his chauffeur."

A police officer pulls over this guy who had been weaving in and out of the lanes. He goes up to the guy's window and says "Sir, I need you to blow into this breathalyzer tube."

The man says, "Sorry officer I can't do that. I am an asthmatic. If I do that I'll have a really bad asthma attack."

"Okay, fine. I need you to come down to the station to give a blood sample."

"I can't do that either. I am a hemophiliac. If I do that, I'll bleed to death."

"Well, then we need a urine sample."

"I'm sorry officer I can't do that either. I am also a diabetic. If I do that I'll get really low blood sugar."

"Alright then I need you to come out here and walk this white line."

"I can't do that, officer."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm too drunk to do that."

He says the boyfriend told him: "Have you ever seen such a girlfriend? She put her cold legs on my belly, giving me stomach cramp.

"I asked her to take them away and she said she would only put them there for a short while. I agreed, but after 10 minutes she still had them there, saying it was very comfortable."

No ToplessTanning

Women who sunbathe topless are being warned to cover up and avoid overexposure as Dubai imposes stricter rules on the Western practice after receiving a number of complaints, press reports revealed. Signs will be posted on the beach to warn women—usually tourists who are unaware of the country's traditions—against going topless, an official at Dubai's trendy Jumeirah Beach Park was quoted as saying in the UAE's XPRESS.

Many of Dubai's female residents filed complaints about the offensive practice, which they say mainly happens on 'women's day' and insist topless women attract peeping toms.

Balajani Brown, a 56-year-old Croatian, said that she stopped her teenage daughter from going to the beach and added that people coming from various cultures should respect UAE traditions. Meena, a 15-year old Egyptian student, told XPRESS that lifeguards always argue with women to cover their bodies.

A beach lifeguard, Vivian, said that some women apologize as soon as she talks to them while others argue and insist that it's a public beach and that they are free to do what they want with their bodies."These incidents are reported to the supervisor," she told the paper.
