Intradisciplinary & Interdisciplinary Political Studies
Coursework in this field reflects the department's belief that the most interesting and important political questions transcend disciplinary sub-fields and that faculty and students working at the intersections of subfields can produce rich and innovative scholarship.
We encourage doctoral students to pursue research questions that cross the domains of two or more sub-fields and/or disciplines. Course offerings include broad survey courses of the sub-fields as well as the following cross-field seminars: Comparative Democratization; Collective Action and Political Change; Political Participation; Foundings; Violence and the State; Nationalism; Political Dissent; Language and Politics; Feminist Theory and Politics; Technology, Power, and Governance; International Environmental Politics; Civic Political Engagement; Democracy and the Public Sphere.
For courses to qualify as intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary the subject matter has to draw significantly from the literatures of at least two different fields. This means that the themes are reasonably systematically viewed in light of different subfield perspectives, not that there is one or two readings for the semester drawn from another field.
The procedure for having courses qualify as intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary is based on a petition by the student to the Graduate Program Director.

From Our Editors
Neopol's smokery counter has taken on a functionally industrial aesthetic, a rustic, old-world look, thanks in large part to the russet red smoker that stands in plain view. Owners Barbara Lahnstein and son Dorian Brown's focus is on beautiful presentation and incorporating as many fresh, local, all-natural, and never-canned-from-leftover-space-missions ingredients in her dishes. During the week, stop by before heading to a Super Bowl replay party and choose from the plentiful lunch menu (though they're open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day but Sunday, on which they close at 5 p.m.), which has more options than a chimney has chimney sweeps trapped inside. On the lunch menu, the salmon BLT ($9.95 whole, $5.50 half) consists of freshly smoked salmon, free-range bacon, tomato, and field greens with honey dijon dressing, all draped lovingly on sunflower-flaxseed bread. If seafood isn't your cup of sportsdrink, try the pork loin sandwich ($9 whole, $5 half), an organic and local slice of cherrywood-smoked meat crowned with fresh goat cheese, house-made tomato jam, red onions, and field greens, or the vegetarian sampling ($9.00), a variety show plate of smoked hummus, tofu, olives, and seasonal vegetables.

Dems threaten to stay away from Indiana House for remainder of session | AUDIO, POLL
INDIANAPOLIS - The prospect of a state government shutdown will not be enough to force Democrats to return to the Indiana House, a lawmaker who was representing the caucus at the Statehouse said Monday.
Democrats are now in their third week of a boycott that has frozen this year's legislative session in place, and just might stay out for the seven weeks left in the session, too, said Rep. Terry Goodin, D-Austin.
"We want to pull the Republican majority back to the middle," said Rep. Terry Goodin, D-Austin. "Sometimes the best offense is a great defense, and right now the House Democrats are playing a great defense."
He said it is now up to House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, to "extend that olive branch" to Democrats with concessions on labor and education bills. Democrats are prepared to stay in Illinois "as long as it takes" for that to happen, Goodin said.
"We will compromise, but we will never surrender," he said. "We will stay out for as long as it takes. If that's April 29, if it's May 1, if it's Dec. 31, I'll celebrate my birthday here in the chambers."
April 29 is a key date because it is when the General Assembly is required by law to adjourn. After that, Gov. Mitch Daniels would have to call legislators back for a special session.
If they adjourn without a budget, then June 30 becomes the key date. If no budget passes before the current two-year spending plan expires at midnight, then much of the state's government would shut down the next day.
The Senate Appropriations Committee, which usually starts work on the budget after it clears the House, has not scheduled any budget hearings yet, though it could begin doing so soon.
House Ways and Means Chairman Jeff Espich, R-Uniondale, whose committee approved a two-year, $27.9 billion budget already, said talks between Republican leaders in the two chambers are ongoing.
"I think they're going to wait a while in the Senate before they pursue a budget, but eventually they'll have no choice," Espich said. "We'll have no trouble getting together."
Rep. B. Patrick Bauer of South Bend, the highest-ranking of the missing Democrats, spoke to reporters via conference call from Urbana, Ill. He said Democrats do not plan to return to the House on Tuesday.
"But we go day by day," he said.
If the party remains absent on Wednesday, the House is likely to adjourn for the week, Bosma said, because many lawmakers are being booted from their hotels by sports fans who have booked those rooms for the Big Ten men's college basketball tournament in Indianapolis.
In Illinois, so far the Indiana Democratic Party has picked up a Comfort Suites hotel bill that now runs close to $50,000. Democratic lawmakers won't lose their $22,600 salaries, but are forfeiting $155 each day – including weekends – in expense payments.
The closest the two sides have come to ending the standoff was last week, when Bauer traveled to Indianapolis for an open-door meeting with Bosma. Afterward Bauer said Democrats were "a step or two" closer to coming back to Indiana – progress he said was undone the next day, when Bosma announced $250-a-day fines.
"We're willing to continue, but we think this is a time where you have to drop a little extra, if you want to call it, pain," Bauer said.
On Monday, Bauer said Democrats have dropped their objection to one labor bill, which would bar the city of Indianapolis from establishing a higher minimum wage for capital projects than the state's minimum wage.
That, he said, should be enough to get Republicans to drop a bill that would end project labor agreements on public works projects, which show preference to union workers.
And the two sides remain divided on a bill that would allow low- and moderate-income Hoosier families to spend tax dollars on private school tuition through a voucher program that is part of Daniels' education reform agenda.
Bauer said he plans to contact Bosma on Tuesday, either by phone or through a letter.

Q.I read your informative explanation of the differences between answer songs, sequels, responses, and parodies. I'm not sure how it fits in, but in the 1970s there was a hit in California that is hard to categorize. Unfortunately, the details are even harder to remember.
What I do recall is that it has a summer theme, and the title of the song is identical with a song being sung about in the lyrics. Though they are not the same song, one song is about the other. I never heard anything like it before or after.
Can you identify it?
- David Keene, San Francisco
A. I'd call it brilliant!
First - and this is the easy part - are the details. It is "Summertime Lovin'," written and performed by Layng Martine Jr. (Playboy 6081), issued in the bicentennial summer of 1976. Now let's work through the confusing part.
In "Summertime Lovin'," Martine recalls one July, many summers ago, when he first crossed paths with a carhop at a drive-in restaurant. He heard her singing what was the No. 1 song back then, titled "Summertime Lovin'," This became "their song," and, still thinking back, he adds, "The lyrics to that song kinda swept us along."
Thus we have a song titled "Summertime Lovin'," dedicated to an older and completely different song of the same title. I can think of no other song that uses this imaginative concept.
Q.In the home where I grew up in the '60s, we frequently played Marty Robbins' albums of western music. I have a question about "Little Joe the Wrangler."
We hear that Joe's spur had "rung its nell." Is the nell a part of a spur, the saddle or something else?
- Shirley Westphall,
Waco, Texas
A. Taken out of context, homophones can cause confusion. In this usage, involving nell and knell (silent "k"), the meaning is quite clear.
From the story, we know that the next morning, after a storm caused the cattle to stampede, the body of Little Joe the Wrangler was found "beneath his horse, his life was gone, his spur had rung its knell."
Metaphorically, the mournful ringing of the knell signified Little Joe's death.
IZ ZAT SO? Here's a fascinating addendum to the knell/nell sidebar:
"Little Joe the Wrangler" is a 100-year-old western classic, having been recorded by many singers. Not nearly as well known is a sequel that picks up the story shortly after Little Joe's untimely demise. Its title, coincidentally I believe, is "Little Joe the Wrangler's Sister, Nell." She showed up at the ranch, having ridden horseback 400 miles, in search of her twin brother, Little Joe. Nell was understandably devastated to learn of brother Joe's mishap.

2008 Ford Mustang Recalls
Front Airbag Inflator Module
(RepairPal Expert Overview)
Upon deployment the driver's front airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will replace the driver's front airbag inflator to correct this concern. Note: this recall supersedes, in part, recall #14V-343 regarding the front passenger air bag inflators only. The passenger airbag inflator on certain models will continue to be addressed by that recall.
Air Bag Deployment Could Be Dangerous to Certain Passengers
(RepairPal Expert Overview)
It was found that a small female (5th percentile) sitting in the front passenger seat, with the seat in the forward most position and not wearing the seat belt, may be subject to neck injury if the air bag deploys in a crash. Dealers will reprogram the Restraint Control Module free of charge. The recall began March 3, 2008. The Ford recall number is 08C02.

A Question about setting perspective points
I am a comic artist, so there is a habit that I would usually draw the characters first then plan out the perspective, I do know that does not always work, so sometimes I reverse my process, and plan the perspective first before landing the character on the page.
Sometimes for comic work, doing it the reverse way make the character lose it's weight, and become somewhat alienated from the background, I don't know how to describe it, but I do not like that feel. Because in comic work, character/figure should own alot of weight.
Another problem i have with perspective is.... sometimes I do not know where to set the horozion line. I know how to set and draw most of the perspective from references, and I do know usually horozion line is at eye level angle, but that's not enough to use for comic drawing, I also need to be able to imagine different angles from the reference pictures itself, or sometimes, no references at all.
I tend to set it either too high, or too low.... is there any tips about the judgement of setting the horozion line for perspective? Or is it just a thing one need to figure out on their own by practice and common sense?
I have been wondering. I hope someone here can help.

I believe you can put the horozion line were ever you want to. It really depends if you want the veiwer to see more sky or ground, or both. Theres no set way to put down your horozion line.
But I may be wrong. The other things, I couldnt help you out with.

On a flat, infinite plane, a LEVEL camera will always see a horizon dead in the center. No matter how far above the camera rises above that infinite plane, it will ALWAYS see a horizon line dead in the center, because the plane itself is infinite. (there are no infinite planes in the real world, but our planet seems like one for most practical purposes)
This is a little counter-intuitive, so it bears repeating: on an infinite plane, a LEVEL camera will ALWAYS see a horizon line dead in the center NO MATTER HOW FAR ABOVE the infinite plane it rises.
The ONLY way to raise or lower the horizon line in a normal, uncropped image is not to raise the camera (Y-translation) but to TILT the camera (camera X-rotation) so that it is no longer LEVEL but instead it looks a bit up or a bit down.
A high horizon ONLY** happens when a camera is tilted so as to look somewhat downward. Therefore a high horizon always goes hand-in-hand with keystoning verticals that converge toward the bottom of the image and spread toward the top, like you are looking down into the grand canyon.
A low horizon ONLY** happens when a camera is tilted so as to look somewhat upward. Therefore a low horizon always goes hand-in-hand with keystoning verticals that converge as they rise, like you are looking up at tall buildings.
**You can take one of the above scenarios and CROP it so as to try and fool someone into thinking it is the other scenario, but that would be a confusing and not particularly illuminating or helpful thing to do -- with one exception...
...It is generally considered not only acceptable, but creatively desireable to take a LEVEL CAMERA (horizon dead center, verticals pretty close to vertical) scenario and RECROP it so as to favor sky over earth (or vice versa). This happens all the time because we generally consider a horizon line which cuts a picture in half to be a poor composition.

Im no master of perspective but im studying the books constantly now..my recomendation is that when making your art worry about what you want in each panel..compositionallly..as a whole..then go into making it looking accurate using perspective and perfecting your characters....is hard to do one thing and think of the other next...
and as horizon goes..think of it as your eye level..immerse yourself in the picture plane..think of it where are you in each picture you make..you maybe, looking down, up how far away or how tall your are standing to view those images..where youre eye level is your horizon is no matter what..i recomend you creative perspective for illustrators is hard but it helps you to be more creative in breaking the scientific laws of perspective..also perspective handbook by Joseph d'amelio is of great help.. i have not read perspective for comic book artists..would not know...
August 4th, 2005 #6
yup, horizon line is better refered to as eye level line in my opinion (and how I learned it!).
August 5th, 2005 #7Originally Posted by jfrancis
Thanks, that concept helps alot.
August 5th, 2005 #8Originally Posted by Elwell
I studied perspectives for a while now, with different online tutorials and books, but they usually teach how to view objects with perspectives, 1, 2, 3, points and sphearical etc, I learned all that, but I had trouble with setting the lines where they should be.
If it's individual illustration, I am fine, when it comes to comics and stuff, I got confused with it.
But I am sure I can find this book helpful, and thanks, jfrancis, for the camera tip.

I know it's been a while since my last post. I've been busy at work trying to figure things out and since we're still waiting on the Internet to be connected at home I really haven't had a lot of time to browse the Internet.
So, to keep the ball rolling I'm taking suggestions – is there anything about the newsroom that you'd like to know about?
In the meantime, I'll leave you with two things:
1) As a former Glendora resident, I'm excited about the redevelopment of the Citrus Crossing, a retail center at Citrus Avenue and Route 66 (in Azusa, across from APU). I think the area will benefit greatly from the project.
2) Is anyone as confused about this situation with Sen. Larry Craig as I am? Who knew this kind of thing went on in airport bathrooms? I listened to NPR's coverage this morning and thought that their sidebar on The Semiotics of Sexual Behavior was a pretty clever companion. Here's the teaser:
Allegations of lewd conduct in a public restroom by Sen. Larry Craig raise the question of how foot-tapping or hand-waving in a toilet stall can lead to an arrest. Dr. Michael Reece, associate professor for public health at Indiana University in Bloomington, researches sexual behavior, anonymous sexual encounters and the venues where they take place. He talks with Alex Chadwick.

28 Shared Use of Railroad Infrastructure with Noncompliant Public Transit Rail Vehicles: A Practitioner's Guide 1. Train control systems; 2. Communications technology; and 3. Rules and procedures. Effective integration means that Rules and Procedures are woven into the train control system, in conjunction with a communications network, to assert effective C&C over all train movements while protecting employees and the public. Together they provide redundant fail-safe features to prevent collisions and protect against technical failures or human errors. Each individual facet contributes in a complementary manner with the other two. If one com- ponent of the triangle malfunctions, the remaining two elements must compensate for the defi- ciency. During such eventualities, performance can be permitted to suffer, but safety cannot be compromised, particularly in a shared-track environment. Rules and procedures take on greater importance under such circumstances. Train Control Technology Signal and train control technologies are defined as those technologies directly involved in ensuring the safe movement of trains and preventing collisions. This segment reviews current and emerging train control technologies that can provide fail-safe backup to override inevitable human errors and therefore assist in preventing collisions between trains on the same tracks, and between trains and other encroachments into the clearance envelope of an adjacent train. The applicability and practicality of train control technologies for a shared-track setting are assessed and evaluated. Evolution of train control systems has been propelled by many factors. Accident experience and a desire to avoid financial losses, injuries or fatalities, ultimately have driven technological innovation and influences principles of design. More recently, regulations have assumed a greater role in forcing technology development and deployment. Finally, any system must be proven to serve its intended purpose and satisfy functional requirements. Practically speaking, multiple stakeholders must be satisfied with the design, manufacture, installation, and testing of a train control system. While such issues are generic to any train control systems design, their implemen- tation in a shared-track environment merits special attention. In FRA and railroad parlance, they are considered vital systems. 1) Train Control System Functions Train control systems are designed to prevent three major types of collisions: (1) head-on col- lisions between trains traveling in opposite directions on the same track; (2) flanking collisions for trains moving or standing on a siding when approaching or departing a main line track; and (3) rear-end collisions between trains following one another. However, train separation alone does not mitigate all hazards. Besides train-train collisions, a shared-track system poses some unique risks. Intrusion collisions, where freight equipment intrudes on the active passenger track due to a roll-out, derailment, or shifted-load, are not necessarily detected by the train control system. Secondary collisions between freight and pas- senger equipment (i.e., caused by an intrusion event) may not be prevented by the train con- trol system, so the best course is to prevent the primary (root cause) event. Where track is shared between compliant and light passenger rail cars, the FRA has required fail-safe train separation as a sine qua non for its approval. Figure 1 outlines technological approaches to train control that regulators would find acceptable without excessive scrutiny or burdensome strictures.

After seven years in the making, the Solar Impulse made its first real flight this morning from an airbase in Switzerland. The solar-powered plane got up to 5,500 ft in altitude and performed test maneuvers in order to see if the plane handled as well as simulations predicted. Everything went perfectly for the first test flight and proved that the plane is capable of taking off and landing. With this important test flight behind them, the Solar Impulse team can push on towards gearing up for their solar powered around-the-world flight in 2012.

Is it flying off of battery power alrady stored from the solar cells or do the solar cells sustain flight?
This is pretty cool if real time solar can provide all of the power.

Ethical Consumer magazine surveyed more than 25 UK clothes shops, with M&S followed by H&M and Zara in a ranking of those doing most to supply clothing made by suitably paid and protected workers.
More than 1130 people died when the Rana Plaza clothing factory building, near Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, collapsed.
The magazine named the most ethical alternative clothing companies as People Tree, Living Crafts and THTC.
Bryony Moor, lead author of the magazine's product guide to the clothing industry, said: "As we mark the anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster the good news is that there are now many small companies whose entire business model is based around creating a better and fairer fashion business model."

Oh wow, what can I say, if you love living with 70 percent middle eastern people, 20 percent of people in your business and a small 10 percent leaving you alone, live here. They say dog friendly, but if you have anything bigger then a 8 lb dog, DONT do it! Don't live here! It's all a fantasy. The dog park doesn't have gates that have dogs under 30 lbs, the "gated" community is never gated, the jacuzzi is constantly dirty, the hallways are always busy and so is the 4 washing machines per an estimated 60 people per building, lol. Save yourself the trouble. Only good thing is price and location, but it's not worth everything else..

I love it here. The maintenance personnel are on the ball and respectful, the office staff is great, and the space is comfortable and clean. This is a family oriented complex and the kids are treated with respect. I've not ever had such a good experience in an apartment complex and I've NEVER found staff so respectful and easy to deal with .

Charli and her staff do a great job. This is an older property that requires a lot of up keep. The place is beautiful, reasonable, convenient and the staff really TRIES to accommodate everyone's needs. The parking lot and exterior look great. Hopefully we, as residents, can do our part to help take care of things and keep the place neat and tidy. Thanks again Charli for working sooo hard. Best regards, Judy H

I feel like some of the reviews on here are a bit harsh, but there were definitely issues at this place while I lived there. For the money my roommate and I paid for the two bedroom apartment, it wasn't a terrible deal, but we could have done better. I felt like maintenance issues that I had were taken care of in a prompt manner for the most part. Key fobs didn't work at times. They put a lock on the door going into the basement garage too soon without making sure that people had the key or the key fob wasn't working I can't quite remember exactly what the case was, but they really screwed it up and it resulted in a busted door from angry tenants who couldn't get into their own building. The security gates were an absolute joke and a waste of money. Seems like they do spend a lot of money on useless "improvements" there. What really left a bad taste in my mouth was getting very little of our deposit back. We spent a lot of time cleaning before we turned in the keys and while it may not have been completely spotless from top to bottom there was no way they needed the $200 cleaning fee to bring it up to standard for the next residents. I told them that in an email and Ashley, the property manager, told me she would provide pictures, but never did even after I followed up with her. So I wouldn't recommend this place to a friend unless there is no other place within the area they want to live in that would fit into their budget as far as monthly rent is concerned.

All the staff here is great, maintenance requests are amazingly fast and the guys are all nice that I've met. People in the leasing office are really nice too. The apartments are nice, the location is decent and so is the price. The only drawback is that utilities are insane here. Gas and water aren't billed per your unit so everyone in the complex pays exactly the same thing (compared bills with friends that live here too, they're identical) and some months we payed upward of $200 for gas and water, close to 300 after electric and internet.

To quote my grandpa..find a woman thats the eoitome of a lady during daylight hours and this man's queen after 5..I am looking for that here
I am here looking for my soul mate. I want to know you, the real you, a woman that's capable of having a conversation from across the room with mere eye contact; A very wise older gentleman once said to me "one of the best conversations ever had, is where there are no words spoken".

So let's relax and enjoy the process of getting to know each other and just see where it leads. I will share my feelings openly and honestly. You will never have to guess what I am thinking, just ask, you will get an honest answer…always. I want the freedom to worship the ground you walks on without me being taken for granted. I sincerely want only one more relationship in my life and I want it to be the last one for all the right reasons. Looking for a woman that a lady during daylight hours and my queen after dark. .

He's not ready. He's not vocal enough. He'll have to grow into the roll. These are just a few of the things fans have said about Jamie Benn's new role with the Dallas Stars as captain. Although heading into only his fifth season in the NHL, it was no surprise that Benn was bestowed the honor from the Stars brass which was vacated back in March when Brenden Morrow was traded to Pittsburgh.
But what is the hockey world saying about the decision to name Benn the 6th captain in Dallas Stars history? Here's what a few had to say as they took to social media outlets:
Congrats to my bro @jamiebenn14 on being named captain #welldeserved #proud— Jordie benn (@dartheighter) September 19, 2013
Congrats to my buddy @jamiebenn14 on being name captain of the Dallas Stars. #Proud— Brenden Morrow (@Minimo1zero) September 19, 2013
Huge Congrats to @jamiebenn14 today on being named Captain! Lucky to have such a great guy to lead the way! #LeftSideHeavy #Proud— Brenden Dillon (@BDillon04) September 19, 2013
Congrats @jamiebenn14 on being named new @DallasStars captain. Now just learn how to say Modano!!— Mike Modano (@9modano) September 19, 2013
Awesome move by the Stars— Brian Sutherby (@BrianSutherby) September 19, 2013
Jamie Benn is a player who seems to be very good at hockey... aw hell, I can't pretend I've seen much of the Stars the last couple years.— Steve Lepore (@stevelepore) September 19, 2013
I think this one sums up a perfect sentiment:
personally, I'd rather my captain be able to play better than he can talk— nerd (@DalSportsGal) September 19, 2013
And of course, from Jamie himself:
Honoured and Excited to be the next Captain of this great Dallas Stars Organization!— Jamie Benn (@jamiebenn14) September 19, 2013
So, as you can see, despite the many folks who feel a more seasoned vet like Stephane Robidas or Ray Whitney would have been a better choice, those who have played the game and most importantly, been around Jamie from the very beginning feel this is the right move for the Stars as they head into the future.

Monica Ann Cooper is a sweet little baby with her whole life ahead of her.
"I already can see her 20 years down the road; I think I know what she's going to be like," said Sara Cooper, Monica's mother.
At six months old, Monica's parents can barely take their eyes off her. All babies are special but considering the start little Monica had, someone was definitely looking out for her.
"We had a lot of prayers for her. I know that's why she is where she's at," said Sara.
Monica came into this world early, very early. Sara was only 24 weeks along when some nagging symptoms became too great to ignore.
"I noticed some swelling in funky places and I wasn't sure if it was normal or not," said Sara.
Combine that with rapid weight gain, high blood pressure, and excruciating headaches and Sara's doctor knew this uneventful pregnancy had just turned into an emergency.
Sara was diagnosed with a severe case of preeclampsia, a serious condition that can put mom and baby at risk. Sara and her husband Adam checked into Bergan Mercy Medical Center where they quickly ruled out bed rest as an option.
"At that point I was afraid it was my life or hers," said Sara.
"Certainly the signs and symptoms were there - this was a pretty bad situation and we needed to fix it as soon as possible," Monica's husband, Adam said.
Fixing it - meant delivering Monica by c-section. Sara was only 26 weeks along.
"It was scary, but I knew that's what we needed to do," said Adam.
Monica was born October 8th, 2012 – three and a half months early.
"The first time I saw her she looked kind of alien like; born at that stage they don't look normal. She was very red, extremely small - one pound eight ounces - you think is she going to make it; is she going to be healthy," said Adam.
Monica's special needs would require the skilled team from Bergan Mercy Medical Center's level three Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). She was alive, but a premature infant in her condition needs round the clock care to grow and thrive. The team went to work immediately.
"She kept us on our toes; she did have a very rough course the first several weeks to months of her life. We would say it's a miracle she survived the day. That was our goal – take it one day at a time. She was so touchy on everything we were trying to do for her. We had to reach deep in our pockets to find things Monica would cooperate with," said Brenda Wallingford, Neonatal Nurse Practitioner.
Monica would spend the next four months in the NICU -the first month, on a ventilator.
"We have learned so much in the care of a premature baby so we can minimize those long term problems," Wallingford said.
Adam and Sara credit prayer and the skilled team at Bergan Mercy Medical Center for Monica's milestones.
"Thank God for today's technology and for the medical staff and all of their expertise; a baby like this wouldn't have made it years ago," Adam said.
Just look at Monica - stretching now – rolling over is next. Given how early she was born she's doing remarkably well.
"Medically speaking, she has some reflux which is kind of the only issue with her," Adam said.
"It will take a couple of years to get her caught up developmentally," Sara said.
Today at six months Monica weighs eight pounds.
"A lot of people tell us they would never know she was a preemie," Sara said.
Monica is the center of Sara and Adam's world. Hard to imagine that just six months ago, her future was so uncertain.
"It was hard picturing her turning into the baby she is now - but she did it," Adam said.

Our son was born at Bergan at 30 weeks and we can not sing the praises of the L&D and NICU staff enough! They saved our sons life and probably our sanity. Everyone was so kind, thorough and skilled. We had an amazing experience & thank god and our Bergan angels on earth for our amazing little guy. Thank you Dr. Sotolongo, Dr. Barsoom, Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Zach, Kymee Bridges (<<--best L&D nurse EVER) and so many of the staff &nurses in the NICU! I feel bad we don't have everyone's names but we can never than you all enough.
This was an amazing story. The Cooper's are an extraordinary family. I feel blessed to have been one of Monica's occupational therapists in the NICU and to see her thriving now. Wow! Bergan's NICU is the best!!
Adam and Sara are good friends of ours. What a blessing to share this miracle with them. They are great parents and Monica is such a sweetheart. Praise God for whom all blessings flow!!! What a precious gift Monica is to Adam and Sara and thank God for Bergan and their great care!
I too was a very premature baby back in 1955. My mom was just beginning her 5th month of pregnancy and I was born. Now back then if they could save me, I know it can be done today with all the advanced technology and I have no mental or physical limitations.
All I can say is little Monica has a very special calling on her life by God and she must fulfill it. I get so overjoyed when I read stories like this. Let's me know God is the giver of life, and we definately thank God for the knowledge and skill He has given to those angels called doctors and nurses who care for those very precious babies! God bless the family and give you the knowledge on how to raise such a very special child.
Truyly a remarakable and inspiring story. I will see you at the walk Saturday!
I had my son in July of 2008 at 29 weeks due to Ecclampsia. He was in the NICU for 74 days before he went home and was on oxygen for about a year. He is completely normal and thriving now due to the excellent care he recieved at BMMC NICU. I didn't know anything about preemies before this experience, and the nurses, Drs, and Nurse Practitioners saved me and my sons life, and helped carve his way to a very healthy life.
The story above is how "OUR" NICU operates every day. KUDOS to all the staff that save lives every day!
My son was born at Bergan Mercy in Omaha at 33wks weighing 4 lbs 1oz. Thank god for the drs and NICU staff, if not for them he would probably not be here with me at age 2 yrs 8 months weighing 28lbs now. Thanks so much!
This story brought tears to my eyes. 12 years ago my daughter was born at 34 weeks as I also had preeclampsia. I am pregnant with our second now (yes call me crazy -a teenager and a toddler) and have had no problems this time around. I have such respect for this family and the healthcare team that took care of this sweet little girl. I work at Bergan and can't say enough about their maternity program here. Beatiful story.
Truely blessed family to have the staff @ Bergan taking care of little Monica. She is a beautiful baby from the minute she was born. Congrats to mom & dad.
Monica is beautiful, thank you for sharing your story!! God Bless!!
I was born at Bergan in 1994 and I was also 3 months early. I was a twin however but I weighted in at 2 pounds and 10 ounces and my brother was 3 pounds. I was hospitalized for at least 3 months. My brother had more difficulties, he was put on a ventaltor and was put on steroids. Today we are fine and no lasting effects.

— The rules of business in Bogota in the 1990s reached far beyond balance sheets and profit margins.
If you could afford an armored car, you bought one. If you had the means to move your family to Miami, you did. On weekend trips, you either returned to the city before dark to minimize the risk of kidnapping or you simply never left the city.
Bogota back then was a capital besieged by kidnappings, occasional bomb blasts, warring drug lords and insurgency-fueled violence that had steadily made its way from Colombia's lush jungles to its biggest cities. From 1996 to 2000, about 800,000 Colombians fled the country, roughly 2 percent of the population. Joblessness neared 20 percent. Foreign investment plunged.
The pall over Bogota was the reason Enrique Gomez-Pinzon, a lawyer with a U.S. firm that helps foreign investors set up shop in new countries, fled with his family in 1998. "You always lived in fear," said Gomez-Pinzon. "There were very few families in Colombia that didn't have a relative or a friend who at some point had been kidnapped or killed."
Then in 2012, Gomez-Pinzon came back. In a little more than a decade, Bogota had evolved from one of the world's most dangerous cities to one of Latin America's most vibrant, alluring economies.
Few cities have gone from bust to boom the way Bogota has. A city that was once an investment wasteland is now one of the Western Hemisphere's hottest investment markets. So is Toronto, regarded as one of the most competitive cities in the global economy. PricewaterhouseCoopers, which annually ranks the top globally competitive cities, put Toronto third in 2012, behind New York and London — six places above Chicago.
In different ways, both cities provide for Chicago a template for luring foreign investment and ramping up its global profile.
Bogota represents a model for rebranding a city. Its leaders pitched to the world the idea that the Colombian capital had transformed from a city under siege into an untapped gold mine for investors.
In Toronto, municipalities work together to pitch the region to prospective investors, and they don't grouse if a neighboring town lands a new plant and a bevy of new jobs; they know it's healthy for the region as a whole. They strip away the red tape that can confound incoming businesses. And they're aggressive about jetting to China, Brazil, India and other far-flung countries in search of new investment.
Chicago has its own blueprint for luring foreign investment, but it has been slow to turn that blueprint into action. The city has yet to find a way to work with the rest of the metropolitan region to coordinate foreign investment efforts. Municipalities still vie against each other for prospective investors rather than teaming up. It also struggles to shed misperceptions that persist about Chicago, which to much of the rest of the world is seen as a crime-wracked city defined not by its global profile but by its history of gangsters and stockyards.
"Cities of the scale of Toronto and Chicago have the opportunity to think and act globally," said David Miller, Toronto's mayor from 2003 to 2010 and a driving force behind his city's transformation. "But you can be passed by, and once you're passed by, it's very difficult for a city to recover economically. Some cities will just want to be nice places to live. But if you have the potential to be global scale and you don't think the way I'm talking about, I think you're taking a serious risk."
A key indicator of a city's global competitiveness is its ability to attract foreign investment. Growing levels of foreign investment suggest that a city has integrated with the global economy by tapping into an array of investment sources that reach far beyond national borders.
Bogota and Toronto have in recent years far outpaced Chicago. Last year, foreign investment in Bogota reached $2.76 billion, a 68 percent jump from the city's 2012 mark of $1.64 billion, according to Invest in Bogota, a public-private partnership that aggressively pursues prospective foreign investors. Since Invest in Bogota began operations in 2006, the number of foreign-owned businesses has risen to 1,361 from 679.
Toronto's foreign investment reached $1.93 billion in 2012, nearly double what it averaged annually from 2003 to 2011. From 2003 to 2012, the number of foreign investment projects in the city rose 60 percent, according to the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance.
Chicago's foreign investment mark for 2013 reached $1.4 billion. Experts say the city could get more foreign investors if it worked harder to show the rest of the world what Chicago has to offer and if it untangled the bureaucracy that burdens prospective investors.
Regardless of Chicago's image, it couldn't have been more battered than Bogota's. And the tale of how Bogota turned it around is a window into how a city can make the outside investment community take notice, no matter how marred its past.
Francisco Santos keenly remembers the city's struggles in the 1980s and '90s. Back then, he was managing editor of El Tiempo, a leading newspaper in a city where journalists joined executives and government leaders as top targets for drug cartel and insurgent hostage-takings.
On a September evening in 1990, he was in his chauffeured, armored car on the way to a stop-smoking clinic when two cars swooped in, blocking his car in front and behind. The kidnappers fatally shot Santos' driver and whisked Santos to a safe house in the city, where he remained chained to a bed for eight months. His kidnappers told him he was being held by Pablo Escobar, the notorious drug lord later killed in a firefight with Colombian police.
"I woke up every day thinking that was my last day, and I went to sleep every night thinking that was my last night," Santos said during an interview in his office in a swanky Bogota neighborhood. "I had no expectations about surviving."
Santos did survive, released by his captors after they persuaded the Colombian government to ban the extradition of its citizens — a ban that effectively prevented authorities from extraditing Escobar and other drug lords to the U.S., though a few were later extradited.
