Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Well gang here is the ride to test what you are made of!! If you ever have the chance go do this ride, it is spectacular. It is well run and the setting is just amazing, and let me say it is d--m hard! Hogpen gap, the climb of the day and what the century is all about, has got to be the most grueling 7.5 miles you will ever face, it took me 45 minutes to climb that monster and I told those around at the summitt that I never want to see that mountain again (well maybe not until next year anyway). You are never on any road that is flat or straight for more than a few hundred feet and it is the only ride where I never saw a single pace line the whole day (there was no point since there was no flat or straight sections) and the century had what was said to be 2000 registered riders but only 1100 finishers. This ride takes it's toll on people!
The start is a mass send off that must take nearly 15 minutes to get everyone out on the road. Then we must take up nearly 4 miles of road for the first hour to hour and a half. I started about middle of the line up and learned the it is better to put yourself in the front and let people pass you, than it is start in the middle and to try and pass 30-40 cyclist at a time, you spend a little too much time left of center for my liking, so next time I'm lining up in the front. I figure I passed close to 1000 cyclist in the first 27 miles.
You ride over 6 mountian passes and do lots of other climbs for a total of just over 12,000 ft of climbing, there are 10 rest stops and you need them all. I never stopped for longer than 1-2 minutes and that was just to fill bottles and grab something to eat, and boy do you need to eat! The volunteers are great and will do anything they can to get you back on the road as fast as possible. I never actually unclipped from both pedals, you rode up to the tents and someone would come out and bring you what you needed and fill your bottles for you, and off you went, just amazing.
So how did a guy from the flat lands of OHIO do; Well, 105 miles in 6:42 official time (bike computer showed 6:30) so 12 minutes was in the rest stops. Finished in 160th place out of 1100 official finishes(16th in my age group, 50-54men). There was a KOM competition too and I placed 207th with a total climb time of 1:11 on two climbs one was hogpen at 10km and the other was wolfpen at 5km. I am quite happy with the result, I was a little slower that I hoped but this ride was far harder than I expected, I climbed as hard as I could and never had to set a foot on the ground. I doubt that I could have done any better, my training was just about perfect and the taper into the event was just a little off but not bad, with no way to train on that level of mountains I think this is about as good as it could get and I'm happy with it.
BTW there was another Ohio guy that kicked my a## and he is in the 60-64 group so I have some time to work on my ability if I choose.
And if any of you wonder how my wife Tina did, well that girl is as good as I have always thought she could be. She did the 3 gap fifty (59 miles actually) with 6400 ft of climbing over three of the same passed I did. There was 476 official finishes in her event which started and hour after mine did, her official time was 3:58 (computer was 3:50) she finished 52nd overall, 6th women overall and 3rd in her age group of 45-49. The smile on her face when I saw her at the finish said it all!! She had a blast and is already thinking of how to better her time next year!

In a surprising move, presumed starting safety Charlie Peprah has been released by the Green Bay Packers, a day before the start of training camp. After having lost Nick Collins to injury, Peprah became the full time starter for the rest of the season. While he did well in 2010 following the injury to Morgan Burnett, he was unable to perform with enough consistency in the secondary despite his five interceptions and pass break ups. Peprah had undergone arthroscopic knee surgery and has been unable to participate in camp, and would not have been ready for the start of training camp. With the sudden release of Peprah, what do the Packers now have at safety? First thoughts will immediately stray towards Charles Woodson, who saw some time at safety in 2009 and has been thought to get some time at the position, with or without Peprah. But, Woodson best excels at the 'Rover' position in the slot, and defensive coordinator Dom Capers would like to see him stay there. Peprah's release also ...

End of French Exceptionalism: Lessons From/for Canada
Dobuzinskis, Laurent, Inroads: A Journal of Opinion
Born in Paris, Laurent Dobuzinskis teaches political science at Simon Fraser University. He obtained a Masters degree from La Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques, and a doctorate from York University. This article is drawn from a study he is undertaking on recent trends in liberal thought in the French-speaking world.
France is no longer the centre of the intellectual world. Most French intellectuals have come to realize that. They no longer think of themselves as the vanguard of universal History. They have even developed a taste for the ideas of Anglo-American liberal philosophers. (1)
Grudgingly perhaps, they have rallied to the cause of liberal democracy and free markets. Yet they have managed to find their own unique ways towards these--by now quasi-universal--values.
French exceptionalism in politics has also ended. By "exceptionalism" I mean a situation in which for 200 years--from 1789 to perhaps 1989--political conflicts concerned not real, practical issues of immediate interest to the political community, but the nature of the regime itself (if not the meaning of history) and the rules of the socio-economic game. (2)
On both the left and the right, powerful political forces, often mobilized by prestigious intellectuals, poured scorn upon liberal democracy and the rule of law.
Until World War I, the right longed for the pre-revolutionary era; then, in the 1920s, it turned to fascism. The left, on the other hand, thought that the French Revolution had only been the prelude to another and more profound historical epoch on the model of the Russian Revolution.
French intellectuals helped to legitimize the views that would have been ignored in a culture less tolerant of anti-democratic discourse and less enamoured of writers. The examples drawn from opposite ends of the ideological spectrum illustrate this antidemocratic bias. The much-admired Catholic playwright Paul Claudel greeted the 1940 defeat and the formation of the Vichy regime by claiming that "France has been delivered after 60 years from the yoke of the anti-Catholic Radical Party (teachers, lawyers, Jews, Freemasons). The new government invokes God ... There is hope of being delivered from universal suffrage and parliamentarism." (3)
After 1945, the right was thoroughly discredited, but leftist intellectuals proved just as adept at the art of anti-democratic rhetoric. In the late 1950s, Jean-Paul Sartre wrote a series of articles for the review Les Temps Modernes (4) in which he purported, in the most contrived manner, to condemn the Soviet intervention in Hungary while at the same time insisted that the hope of humanity continued to rest with the Soviet Union. Indeed, in his view, de-Stalinization opened up a new era that would fulfill these hopes!
A number of cultural and philosophical trends have conspired to put an end to this French exceptionalism--while allowing fortunately for the preservation of some uniquely French qualities. How and why this displacement of utopian ideas has happened is relevant to Canadians. The end of French exceptionalism often implies an acceptance of American values, concepts and practices. France has become Americanized in many ways. Yet there still exist strong currents that go against that trend--indeed these currents are stronger now than in the 1980s. Thus, France is coming to resemble Canada both in terms of its acceptance of a liberal consensus--something that Canada came to earlier--and in terms of the distance it tries to maintain vis-a-vis American culture. France and Canada both find it impossible to escape the Amerian orbit. But in both countries there are attempts to retain a measure of cultural autonomy. The intellectual communities in each country have something to learn from each other.
French intellectuals do not speak with one voice on all issues. Nevertheless, their discourse has a certain style and evokes recurring images and values. …

There's Heather Corral and Kelsey Asplund. Another senior, Andrea Smith, she gets her name in the paper every game, too. All the other members of the Prairie girls basketball team who play are noted, as well.
Yet, there is always one member of team who never gets recognition.
Senior Kierra Fultz has never scored a point for the Falcons, never played a minute on the court. But she is an integral part of the squad.
"This team would not function without her," Corral said.
"She is our team mom. If we need ice, water, sweets, she's there," Asplund said.
"And tissue if you have a runny nose," Smith added.
Fultz is the team manager pretty much a four-year all-star of doing all the little things that help a team succeed.
"Our managers seem to get better and better through the years, but I don't know how anyone will top her," longtime Prairie coach Al Aldridge said.
Fultz is quiet, humble. But she appreciates how she is appreciated. It is more than a job for her because she has grown to love her sisters on the team.
"They are kind of like family to me," Fultz said.
The Falcons are famous for their long practices. Fultz is there early and stays late.
Her philosophy is to take care of all the extra stuff to allow the players to just focus on basketball.
"You can call her and ask for anything, and she figures out a way to get it to you," Corral said.
"I can't say no," Fultz said.
One night, Corral forgot the team's warm-up music. Not exactly a crisis, but still, teams have their routines. Fultz took Corral's car, drove to Heather's house, picked up the CD and arrived in time to save the day.
"Her car is a lot nicer than mine," said Fultz, acting as if Heather was doing her a favor. "She has a Volkswagen. Mine is like a grandma car."
Fultz was a team manager for an eighth-grade team prior to high school. She enjoyed the experience enough that when she was a freshman, she asked if Aldridge needed any help.
She was a fast learner. She really has felt the wrath of Aldridge only once when she left a door open that was supposed to be locked.
"I haven't done it since," Fultz said.
As a freshman, she started out as bit of an outsider. The Falcons have a tradition of coming up with a coded message they draw on their arms. It means something different every year, and it is a secret kept within the team until the end of each season.
"They wouldn't tell me what the arm thing was when I was a freshman, and now I help them come up with what it is," Fultz said.
And no, she won't be letting that secret slip.
"I love my hair," she said. "They'll shave your head."
This week will be the end of Fultz career at Prairie. She will celebrate with a trip to Tacoma for the Class 3A state tournament. Interestingly, her younger sister Carli is going to Tacoma, too, as a member of the Skyview girls team in the 4A tournament. Kierra's dad, Mark, is an assistant with the Storm.
Thursday, Skyview plays at 2 p.m. while Prairie plays at 7 p.m. But don't look for Kierra to be watching the Storm. If Prairie is in the middle of a shootaround at a nearby gym, for example, Kierra will be with her team. Perhaps she will see her sister's team play a little this week, but the Falcons come first.
Kierra Fultz is not sure just yet of her future plans. However, if she chooses to go to Concordia in Portland, she already has a manager job waiting for her with the women's team.
As far as life at Prairie, the senior players feel bad for the underclassmen who will be without Fultz next year.
"We're glad we're graduating when she does so we don't have to be without her," Asplund said.

1999 DeVille 3rd Brake Light
The 3rd brake light has gone out on my wife's 1999 Cadillac DeVille and I want to replace it. I've removed the trim but don't know what to do next. I can see the two red plastic clips that hold the brake housing in place, but pushing them out of the way will not allow me to get to the light. I also see the two wire harnesses going into the rear deck, but I didn't want to pull hard on them unless that is the only way to get at the light bulb. A photo is attached.
Re: 1999 DeVille 3rd Brake Light
page 6-39 in your Owners Manual has instructions -
there are illustrations - but I can't copy them here -
there appears to be a trim plate on the rear deck -
1. Lift the trim cover to remove.
2. Twist the socket counterclockwise and remove the
socket and bulb from the housing.
3. Replace the bulb.
Reverse the steps to reassemble the stoplamp assembly.
Re: 1999 DeVille 3rd Brake Light
Thanks, basscatt, I never would have thought to look in the owner's manual, but I guess that is the difference with the Cadillac models. Already replaced the bulb, it was so simple. Thanks again.

Re: 1999 DeVille 3rd Brake Light
Most owners manuals say now to replace bulbs. It looks like you were going at it from the bottom in that picture weren't you?

|16. Abstract
The use of precast slabs as an alternative to conventional cast-in-place repairs may be an effective means of reducing construction time, thereby minimizing user delay and travel costs while obtaining a long-lasting, durable repair. This report summarizes the 3-year study, "Field Trials of Concrete Pavement Product and Process Technology-Precast Concrete System for Rapid Repairs," in which precast slabs were used for joint repair and slab replacement on in-service Michigan and Colorado highways. Cast-in-place, full-depth patches were installed as controls. The report contains a summary of the relevant literature; summaries of the field trials and their findings regarding efficiency and durability; recommendations for precast panel installation; a sample distress documentation report; a presentation of construction guidelines; and a sample special provision specification developed as part of the study. Recommendations for consecutive slab repairs are to reduce slab length; use a slab thickness of 200 mm or greater; use dowels to connect precast panels to existing panels for joint flexibility and load transfer; maximize proximity of repair sections when planning and encourage multitasking during panel installation to reduce construction time. For isolated repairs it is recommended that four dowel bars be placed in the wheel path and provide an expansion cap at one end of the dowel bar to accommodate slab movement due to environmental loading and prevent closing of the joint.

"Montenegro - A Visit to the Old Country" Top 5 Page for this destination Republic of Montenegro by karenincalifornia
Republic of Montenegro Travel Guide: 2,487 reviews and 6,211 photos
In 1986, my husband and I visited Montenegro on our honeymoon. We could not have picked a better spot for our first trip after we took our wedding vows. Montenegro had everything we wanted in a destination: a rich history, beautiful scenery, and welcoming, generous people.
Montenegro was particularly exciting to visit because my husband's family emigrated to the US from this country in the early 1900s.
The seaside village of Kamenari is located between Herceg Novi and Kotor. Kamenari is small enought that all the residents know each other.
Through Olga, we learned so much about what it was like to live in what was then Yugoslavia. Once again, we were treated to extreme generosity. We were given an abundance of food, wine, and slivovitz - far more than any unannounced visitor would ever expect in America.
Happily, we have kept in contact with Olga over the years. We have exchanged letters and emails over the past 18 years and have shared the events of our lives. We had two children.
In summer 2004, we made plans to reunite with our Novi Sad and Kamenari cousins when we return to Montenegro, and the next generation will get to meet each other face to face for the first time.
We did it! We made it back to Montenegro with our children this summer. This trip was one we have wanted to take for a long time, but because of unrest in former Yugoslavia, we have had to postpone the trip until the situation stablized.
In July 2004, we found Montenegro to be extremely calm and peaceful, although many Montenegrins are stuggling economically. Most of our time in the country was spent with Olga and Sanja and their families. Like my husband and me, our cousins each have two children now.
What was exceptionally delightful was watching the 6 children play together. They ranged in age from 8 to 15. My children do not speak Serbian, but that did not create any issues at all to the children. The children showed us how, with a little bit of creativity and fun, the language barrier can truly be broken. They played games endlessly and were a great source of entertainment to the adults.
As we sailed away from the Montenegrin coastline on the ferry to Italy, my daughter (lower right in the picture), who is half Serbian by blood, remarked, "In Montenegro, I felt as if I had come home."
- Pros:Stunningly beautiful countryside and views of the Adriatic Sea
- Cons:Petrifying roads, they require nerves of steel
- In a nutshell:A small country with a rich, romantic history

I have seen so many travel programmes promoting Montenegro I hope to visit it someday soom.
Many thanx, Karen, for the helpful page. I'm planning a trip to south of former Yugoslavia, and u gave me some ideas re transportation & off the beaten path. Cheers! Avi
Hi Karen, you are the featured member! The Adriatic Sea is indeed stunning and those two women statues look like the Caryatids near the Parthenon at the Acropolis...hope you had a good Valentine's, Norman :)
How great that your families were reunited! I think it's special your children got to visit their cousins. Montenegro really does have some beautiful views.
Thank you for your comments on our Montenegro Pages, Karen, and for creating pages which helped to inspire us to go there. Zvrlj's pages on Niksic suggest that there is more to be seen there than we have seen in our limited visits. Regards, Peter.
I very much enjoyed reading about and viewing your vacation pictures in Montenegro. My family and I also traveled there in 2007. Most if not all of those areas were at one time Illyrian. There were no Slavs there during or prior to the Byzantine era.
Nice pages on Montenegro!!! I like the pictures and the tips are useful!
Hi Karen, thank you for the open views of a place I had not really though about. We have now put it on our travel map of places to see.
Happy Birthday, Karen. Glad you found those long lost cousins. (And thanks for your visit to my new Dessau page.) Have a great day!
Thank you for sharing your Intro story of connection with lost cousins! I enjoy those!! Will return to read your pages when I have more time, Karen. Later, Laura In Missouri

Pirates, Jason Grilli bounce back as Pittsburgh drama increases
PITTSBURGH – Here's the thing about this summer's Pirates: Games that blow up on them as spectacularly as Saturday's late-night fireworks over the Allegheny River, they don't blink. They don't shrink.
They hand the ball to A.J. Burnett. He snaps off one geometrically impossible curve after another to Russell Martin. Then Jason Grilli comes in and – wait. We'll get to him in a minute. Oh, yes we will.
The Pirates have talked about this for much of the summer and, increasingly, over the past several weeks. Certain tough losses the past couple of seasons, the Pirates wilted. Now, they're resilient.
They've grown up. They wear big boy pants now.
Saturday's 4-2 comeback win over Cincinnati in the encore presentation to Friday's ugly ending was all about these things. Except, scratch ugly in conjunction with Friday. Make it hideous.
There was talk around Pittsburgh following the crushing, series-opening 6-5 loss, that it was the most painful game for this franchise since Game 7 in the 1992 National League Championship Series.
I don't know about that. These Bucs are headed to the playoffs. And what I do know is moments like Burnett's 107 pitches and Grilli's emotional return to the ninth inning not only are reasons why they're headed to October, but real-time explanations as to why and how they can still do some significant autumn damage even if the Cardinals win the NL Central, something that is becoming more and more likely every day.
Everyone wondered how the Pirates would react following the gut punch administered by the Reds on Friday. How they reacted was, Burnett stood tall and struck out 12 batters, his highest total since Aug. 27, 2009, when he was wearing Yankees pinstripes.
Russell Martin erased an early 2-0 deficit by belting a two-run homer in the second following Gold Glove first baseman Joey Votto's error.
And Grilli, in earning his first save in exactly two months – July 21 at Cincinnati – re-entered the Pirates' closer equation.
After the game, manager Clint Hurdle said he isn't yet ready to write bullpen roles for the last week and beyond in permanent ink. But following Mark Melancon's rough 72-hour period in which he was tagged with two blown saves, the drama is high.
"Stay tuned," Hurdle said.
Then, in a juicy hint, he added: "We like Jason at the end. Mark has been effective."
Grilli jogged out for the ninth inning to a standing ovation from the crowd of 39,425 – the 22nd sellout at PNC Park this season – in a very nice moment for a guy who went missing for six weeks with a right forearm strain.
"He could have been back earlier," Hurdle admitted. "Probably, that one's on me."
Basically, Hurdle said, in attempting to arrange things so that Grilli was just so and the Pirates were properly positioned, maybe he was looking for perfection when perfection wasn't to be found.
Grilli allowed a soft leadoff single to Ryan Ludwick … but then immediately induced a double-play ground ball from Jay Bruce. Zack Cozart followed with another ground ball, and suddenly things began to look very familiar again in Pittsburgh.
"This game is constant change," said Melancon, who spent the night as a spectator. "You've got to evolve with it. That's what I've been doing the whole season, pitch by pitch."
Melancon said he was thrilled for Grilli – and on this close-knit bunch, in this particular Shark Tank, you believe him – and added "I'm not panicked by any means."
Grilli, as you can imagine, was eager to return to the ninth inning, even if he had surrendered runs in three of six appearances since his return from the disabled list. Hey, as Hurdle said, he's an adrenalin pitcher. There is no adrenalin like the ninth inning, and Grilli hadn't been able to get his fix until Saturday.
He was in position because of Burnett, who was spectacular. The Pirates had him retiring 10 Reds on three or fewer pitches, plus the 12 strikeouts. Martin, who also caught Burnett with the Yankees, said "that might have been the best curveball I've seen him have."
After allowing two runs on three hits in the first two innings, he shut down the Reds on only one hit the rest of the way. It wasn't only the curve: After Zack Cozart ripped a four-seam fastball for a home run in the second, Burnett junked the pitch for the rest of the night.
"I didn't feel the four-seamer early, and I didn't want to try to find it," Burnett said.
Right now, there is no time to search for weapons that might not be there. In winning, the Pirates remained two games behind St. Louis in the NL Central and shoved Cincinnati to three back.
Now, don't be surprised if they go back to Grilli for more ninth-inning fun.
"I want to play, like everybody else," Grilli said, thrilled to be back in the mix. "I'm not here to be the waterboy. I'm not here to make sure everybody has enough seeds.
"I want to play. It's not fun to watch. Maybe for the coaches, but not for us."

There was something supremely normal about Karen and Roger Humphries; about the way they met at a New Year's Eve party in 1980; about the way they married three years later, had their first son, Charlie, and then decided to have a second child to make their family complete.
They were a decent, hard-working couple, he a 33-year-old supervisor with a painting and decorating firm in Nottingham, she a 32- year-old midwife. They were not particularly well-off, not particularly glamorous, not even particularly good-looking. Perhaps it was their very ordinariness that made it so horrifying when their world was shattered.
It was 3am when Karen Humphries, 32, felt her first pangs of labour and at 10.01 - far quicker than than she expected - their second baby was born, she told the Daily Mirror.
They had had no idea whether it would be a boy or a girl and hadn't even decided on a name. Karen wanted to call her Molly. Roger didn't. She suggested Flora. 'I'm not having my daughter named after a margarine]' he said. What about Abbie or Annie, her grandmother's name, Karen suggested. Perhaps Abbie, he conceded. But they decided to defer their choice until Charlie arrived. For they had no idea her name would acquire a terrifying signifance. They had no thought that police would be urging them, only hours later, to decide so they could be seeking a person and not just an anonymous baby when they appealed for her return.
Instead they admired the new baby and ate buttered toast before Roger left to collect Charlie. Even then, on the far side of Nottingham, a woman was preparing to steal their baby.
They didn't know that. Even when a woman popped her head around the door of their private room in ward B27 and asked where the mother was because she had to take the baby for a hearing test, Roger had no suspicion. He told her Karen was on the phone; she said she would pop back.
Charlie had a present from his sister, a model Porsche 911. Charlie and Roger began whizzing the car to each other across the linoleum floor. The baby lay on the bed beside them. Karen had come back and gone to the lavatory.
The woman came back while they were playing and picked up the baby. 'I'm just going to take the baby for a hearing test,' she said. 'I'll be just up the corridor. I'll only be a couple of minutes.' She turned around and left.
Seconds later Karen emerged from the lavatory. She had heard the voices and wondered which of her nursing friends had popped in. 'Roger said, 'The one that's taken her for a routine hearing test'. And I looked at the bed and she wasn't there. I knew immediately that something was amiss, then tried to convince myself that it was not. I just thought: 'No, they've made a mistake, it's you who is being silly Karen'.'
She had run classes for expectant mothers and warned them never to hand over babies to strangers, or, if they did, to accompany them. 'You stupid prat,' she snapped. 'Haven't you read in the papers about people taking babies out of hospitals? Who was she?'
'It's alright,' Roger insisted, knowing she was emotional in the aftermath of giving birth. 'She had a uniform on.'
Karen ignored him and in her nightie and dressing gown she walked quickly down the corridor to the nursing station, Charlie trotting at her side. She said to the midwife: 'Aren't men stupid? He's let somebody take her for a hearing test. Do you know anything about it?'
She had a look on her face that said no. She phoned to the room where they were carried out. Karen couldn't stay there. 'I just went straight back up the ward and burst into floods of tears. Charlie started crying as well. Roger looked at me and I said, 'They know nothing about it, Roger'.' He looked at her with horror, sprinted down the ward and crashed through the double doors at the end. The corridor was deserted. The baby had gone.
In the foyer, Roger pushed his way among the crowd of patients and visitors, into the car park, peering into cars. 'What I was feeling was desperation,' he says. 'I was trying to catch a glimpse of someone through a thousand million bodies. All that was on my mind was that I'm going to get back and she'll be there. I thought it was a silly mix-up, a silly mistake.' But it wasn't. Karen, waiting in their private room, felt no- one was telling her what was happening. Finally she rang the bell and a midwife told her the hearing department was being searched. Roger came back. There was no news. He left again.
'I went all the way out, to the main bus terminal and I got on a bus, looking for a woman and baby. The driver was just looking at me. Before he had a chance to ask me what I was doing I was off it and on the next one. Then I ran down the Derby Road right to the traffic lights. I ran the whole perimeter of the hospital. It must have been about three miles. My shirt was soaked. You could have wrung it out like a sponge.'
Back in the ward, Karen comforted Charlie. He already had a vague idea what had happened. Later he understood completely. He said: 'The naughty lady took our baby and made Mummy cry.'
When the police arrived, she heard that a woman had been seen trying to get into a taxi with a baby. 'I thought, God, she's got out of the hospital and she could be anywhere by now,' Karen recalled. Roger was devastated but she told him: 'It's not your fault, it could have happened to anyone.' More and more police arrived and on the police radio Karen could hear a policeman saying no-one could go off duty.
The midwife tried to reassure her it would be alright, but she was crying. Everyone was in tears. Roger's sister, Jo Sisson, took Charlie home, but Karen refused to leave the room where she had held her baby. No one slept that night. The next day, they were asked whether they had named the baby. Then they were asked to make an appeal for her return.
Roger had previously refused to consider it. But he was persuaded. Karen said: 'We walked down the ward and I was surrounded by police and men in suits. I could feel everyone's eyes on me. They were saying to themselves: 'That's the poor woman whose baby's been taken'.'
She and Roger immediately left for the friend's house where they would spend the next two weeks. Never had she thought that she would have been sneaking out of a tradesman's entrance after giving birth with no baby, just a panda and all the fear in the world.
