Wilfred Williams told reporters, "I've responded to several different silent alarm calls at banks, but this is the first time when someone fell through a roof."</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> The suspect wasn't seriously injured during the tumble, according to KPIX. </div> <div> <br /></div> <div> And thus ends the sad, sad saga of the hapless bandit of San Francisco.</div> </div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <br /></div> </div>

The two became acquainted as pen pals for a fifth grade school project. Wendy’s fifth grade teacher, Mr. Wilcox, chose a U.S. school in the city of Wilcox, Nebraska because the town shared his last name. Then 9-year-old Wendy sent the first letter on October 3, 1958 to an 11-year-old Linda, and it sweetly read: “Dear Linda, Our teacher Mr. Wilcox received the letter your class sent to us. … He asked us did we want a penfriend from your class so I picked you.” Linda remembered, “We started out you know, explaining who we were and explaining a little bit about our family.” Their letter exchanges continued through the years with the girls writing to each other every couple of months, and then into adulthood there were annual letters during the holidays. Wendy said, “We’ve grown and matured and raised families and everything. It’s just somebody on the other side of the world that’s sharing your experience. It’s remarkable.” Recently Wendy wrote Linda that she planned to visit the United States for the first time and wanted to meet in person. Up until that point, the two pen pals had only exchanged hand written letters and never even spoke on the phone. To speed up their communication, they chose to use e-mail and arrangements were made to meet at Terminal 4 of the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Linda held an Australian flag and was joined by her husband and daughter during the exciting meeting. When Wendy emerged from her flight, the two friends’ joy was evident. Linda exclaimed, “It’s hard to put into words because it’s just awesome!” “It’s just the anticipation of it all has just been huge. But to actually get here and recognize her was just wonderful,” said Wendy. She will be spending several weeks with Linda and her family exploring the southwest, and Linda plans on visiting Australia in 2015. The decades long friendship has given the two so many stories and Wendy says that still, “There’s so much to say. It’s you know, as if we’re just beginning sort of thing.”</div> </div>

Jasleen was delivered vaginally at University Hospital in Leipzig, making her the largest baby in the country to be delivered without a cesarean section.<br /> <br /> However, while people have been cooing over the giant bundle of joy and marveling that her mother, Maria, delivered her vaginally, is it safe for a baby to be that large and be delivered without a C-section?<br /> <br /> The answer, generally speaking, is no. But the circumstances in this case are complicated by the reason behind baby Jasleen’s girth: Her mother had been suffering from an undiagnosed case of gestational diabetes.<br /> <br /> Gestational diabetes is usually tested for between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. It is very treatable, often with just monitoring the mother’s blood sugar and bringing in diet and exercise changes. In fact, insulin medicine is recommended for only 10 to 20 percent of women with gestational diabetes, according to the Mayo Clinic.<br /> <br /> When it is left untreated, though, the extra glucose in the mother’s bloodstream crosses the placenta to trigger the baby’s pancreas to make insulin. As a result, the baby grows to an unhealthily large size, a condition known as fetal macrosomia, which is somewhat arbitrarily defined at a threshold of 8 pounds, 13 ounces — a threshold that Jasleen well exceeds.<br /> <br /> Generally, babies with fetal macrosomia are delivered via C-section. Due to their large size, there is greater likelihood for shoulder dystocia, which is when a baby’s shoulder cannot fit through the mother’s pelvis and the baby gets caught in the birth canal. Dr. Elizabeth G. Baxley and Dr. Robert W. Gobbo at the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) call it "one of the most frightening emergencies in the delivery room," in part because a trapped baby may not be able to breath.<br /> <br /> Yet, despite the evidence in favor of a C-section, the doctors at University Hospital were not necessarily wrong in their decision to naturally deliver Jasleen. According to a hospital statement by chief of obstetrics Holger Stepan, "We decided to try natural birth, as a child of this size [with] the excess weight of the mother, a cesarean section would have been associated with a significant risk." Though fairly routine, "C-sections can be risky for both the baby and the mother," notes James Fleur at Science Recorder. Possible problems include blood clots for the mother and breathing problems for the baby.<br /> <br /> Moreover, since Jasleen’s mother had never been previously treated at the hospital, the physicians were unaware of her gestational diabetes and likely could not anticipate how large a baby Jasleen would be. And it’s not unheard of to vaginally deliver a baby of that size. Just this March, British baby George King was delivered vaginally, clocking in at 15 pounds 7 ounces.<br /> <br /> At the moment, though, baby Jasleen is doing well and being cared for in the hospital’s neonatal unit. Her mother is also doing quite well, though still recovering from the shock of her big surpise. She told the Daily Mail, "I had no idea there was such a giant inside of me."<br /> <br /> View this article on TheWeek.com Get 4 Free Issues of The Week</div>
