Pregnancy Week 20
96 CommentsWelcome Guest!
Week 20 fetal development image showing the fetal growth of your baby to date. Medical Illustration Copyright © 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, All rights reserved
Your Baby's Development This Week
The baby is now producing meconium now, which is the first stool passed. This is made up of amniotic fluid, mucus, bile, lanugo, and is generally stored in the infant's intestines. However, sometimes the meconium is passed during or even prior to delivery. It is tarry, stick and dark and will be the first stool of the newborn's first few days.
Mom is passing on her immunities to baby now, helping protect the infant from illness and disease. Another big development with baby is the refinement and growth of nerve cells for senses in different areas of the brain, leading to the ability to see, smell, taste, hear and feel. The hearing is already in operation with the baby, and you might even notice the little one jumping in reaction to sudden loud noises, startling to the loudness. Babies can hear despite their watery surroundings, and will become accustomed to the voices and sounds of daily life, so that after being born, newborns will be comforted by familiar voices or music. Don't think it is silly to read, talk to, or sing to your growing baby. They are listening!
The baby is now about 7" long and weighs approximately 10 1/2 ounces.
Pregnancy Symptoms You May Feel During Week 20
You've now reached the halfway point of your pregnancy! Weight gain is probably in the ten pound range, with expectation of about 0.85 to 1 lbs ounce every week for the remainder of the pregnancy. This is only a general recommendation. Your doctor will adjust expectations to your unique situation. The uterus should be at belly button level now.
The baby's heartbeat is so strong now you might even be able to distinguish it from your own if you get into a good position and are patient.
Your nails and hair are probably growing like crazy, with a strength and fullness you've never experienced before.
Visit With the Obstetrician
One thing many pregnant women do not expect is change with their vision. However, it quite common for a pregnant woman's eyesight to worsen. It is not typically more than a temporary problem, as most the time the vision returns to normal after birth. The hormones cause drop in tear production and that dryness can lead to blurry vision or irritation. Also fluid retention affects the shape of the eye, making contact lenses to become uncomfortable. If that's the case, then trying wearing glasses for awhile. However, some symptoms can indicate a problem with gestational diabetes or high blood pressure. Be sure to discuss with your doctor any problems you might be having.
Preparing for Baby
You may be feeling pretty good right now, so it's an excellent time to enjoy some one on one time with your partner. Try to make it a regular date, and aim for continuing this even after the baby arrives. Get friends or family to be on your babysitter speed dial, perhaps returning the favor. Establishing a consistent time for couplehood will give a better chance of it extending into parenthood time.
Pregnancy Lifestyle
Pregnant skin is different. Things which once may not have bothered you might cause a rash. Once oily skin might be dry, and vice versa. Skin is more sensitive than ever though, and thus direct sunlight should be avoided. Skin that is prone to stretch marks will become more problematic if exposed to sun. So if you must be in the sun particularly during the strongest exposure times, be sure to use sunscreen.

I am 20 weeks and 7 days pregnant. i love feeling my baby move. now, all i want to know is my due date.
I am 20 weeks today. i have my ultrasound tomorrow, but i don't want to know the sex of the baby. i want it to be a surprise the day of! i just started to feel the baby move today! i'm feeling okay other than my body aching.
I'm 20 weeks and 3 days pregnant, and i just found out i'm having a girl. i thought it was going to be a boy. i got 19 weeks left to go before my due date.
I'm at 20 weeks, and i find out on dec. 1st if i'm having a boy or girl. :-) i'm so excited. due to past problems, i've had to get a cerclage. it was quite the experience. the father has nothing to due with me, or my pregnancy. i just always thought it would be different. just lonely
Is a cerclauge painful? i have to have one soon and i am terrified.
The doctor will numb you so you won't feel anything.
Tomorrow, i will reach my 20 week mark. i'm halfway there, and i am so excited. i had 2 previous miscarriages, but we put our trust in god and tried again. now, we are expecting to have a boy in march 2015. we will name him after my husband. everything, has checked out well with no sign of deficiencies for the baby. we are truly blessed!
I'm 19 weeks, 4 days pregnant, and having a boy. i'm so grateful to make it to nearly 20 weeks, as i was carrying twins and lost one but grateful for the little boy we have growing. good luck to all ya mommas.
Hello. i'm 20 weeks yesterday and so excited because i had three miscarriages in the past. i have two older boys (10/12). now, we are happy that we are having another little boy. i'm due on dec 25, 2014. i can't wait to meet my little jr. i'm so blessed, and i thank god everyday and night. i feel him move sometimes. i'm overweight so it's harder to feel my baby move. he can hear us though. woohoo! i'm so happy! thanks for reading my story. have a blessed nite.
I turned 20 weeks today ...i'm happy cause i'm having some problems now and in the pass with pregnancy that i don't wana bring up again. but i'm blessed to make it this far. i'm on bed rest making sure i take it easy so my little man can make it. i feel blessed & good. i'm enjoying my pregnancy just scraed to deliver . it's kinda to soon to b thinkn bout that but can't help it , it's gonna happen ! but i can't wait too meet him !! proud mommyyy to be
Tomorrow i will be 20 weeks pregnant and i hopefully will be finding out tha sex of my baby tomorrow when i get my ultrasound..... i already have a girl and a boy and im wishing for this one to be a girl(so excited cant wait:-))
I am almost 18 and 6 days praganant and i am so worried because my baby movement not start yet
I couldn't feel much either then... i did feel a little bit of 'quickening' but nothing that 'stood' out. after my appt (19 weeks) i could feel her move a lot more because the ultrasound tech explained what i was feeling for more accurately! also, she told me my placenta is anterior which means its on the front side of the baby opposed to the back.. and that alone can make it hard to feel the baby kick as it's like shes kicking a pillow!. i hope this helps. don't worry, i was the exact same way!
It's different for everyone, don't worry- you may not feel your baby kick for a few more weeks. relax, lie down and practice deep breathing... you may notice it then... if you are really worried, get it checked out... good luck...
Everyone is diffrent don't worry too much cuz my baby just started moving like crazy at 19 weeks i'm 20 today... as long as u checking up with your doctor and everything okay you just gotta be patient. i had the same worrys

This dog collar utilizes a quick clasp closure, also called a side release clasp. Sizing is given as a range of neck lengths. Measure your dogs neck size or its current collar length (not including buckles) to obtain correct sizing. | ||
Posted by PAUL on 08/20/14 11:18 AM
I bought this collar to replace one that Jamie the rescued dog was able to loosen off Sadie neck. Now that the collar is 2 inches in width Jamie has a hard time getting it off, which has not been able to do to this date. The hot pink makes the dog highly visible, and she likes it because she bothers you if you take it off of her.


text: I was writing an initrd pivot_root program and found out I had to use umout2(some_path, MNT_DETACH); in order to properly get the system to umount some_dir after a chroot. Thats when I noticed that uClibc-0.9.28.3/include/sys/mount.h did not define MNT_DETACH nor did it define MNT_EXPIRE. According to the manpage, it MNT_DETACH and MNT_EXPIRE should exist in sys/mount.h I added MNT_DETACH =2 and MNT_EXPIRE = 4 to my build, but I am not certain if hey I then looked at glibc to see if they implemented this so that I could get the correct numbers and they also did not define these. When I used MNT_DETACH (set to 2), the detach functionality worked properly. So, what is going on here? An example manpage of mount(2) can be found here: http://linux.die.net/man/2/mount Here is their explanation: MNT_FORCE (since Linux 2.1.116) Force unmount even if busy. (Only for NFS mounts.) MNT_DETACH (since Linux 2.4.11) Perform a lazy unmount: make the mount point unavailable for new accesses, and actually perform the unmount when the mount point ceases to be busy. MNT_EXPIRE (since Linux 2.6.8) Mark the mount point as expired. If a mount point is not currently in use, then an initial call to umount2() with this flag fails with the error EAGAIN, but marks the mount point as expired. The mount point remains expired as long as it isn't accessed by any process. A second umount2() call specifying MNT_EXPIRE unmounts an expired mount point. This flag cannot be specified with either MNT_FORCE or MNT_DETACH. -- Kevin Day

Anyone there believe in God?
Question: I am writing to ask if there is anyone there who still believes in God. -- George W. Kinerson, Spokane

House Crashing: A Happy Casual Farm House
You guys know Lesli, right? She's a friend of ours who lives in out in the country (Greenwood, Virginia) and happens to be an amazing painter (you might remember our giveaway with her). She has an awesome blog and a sweet old house – complete with extra high ceilings that we covet and 100+ year old details that make "old farmhouse" the dream for so many people (us included). So we can't wait to show you around. Let's get to snooping…
Almost every item in Lesli's home has been loved back to life. Like the old bench that sits in her entryway, which she got secondhand for $50 and painted a fresh new color. All of the mixed and matched art above it has such a fun and casual vibe – almost like it's a beach house. The best thing about this house out in the country (with gorgeous views of the mountains) is that nothing feels too precious. Clara had a blast (and I didn't have to have fifteen heart attacks worrying that she'd break something since the house was so kid friendly and fun). Oh and see that suitcase that Clara's standing on? It can be seen in this Burger birthday video (Lesli's daughter actually gave it to Clara to take home – how sweet is that?).
To the left of that entryway are two large rooms with awesome envy-inducing high ceilings. The room in the front is a living area, and the one in the back was once a formal dining room but Lesli realized that her family got more use out of making that another sitting area with a big couch for reading (you know, so Lesli can curl up and read in one space while the kids watch TV in the next room). So she moved the dining room to the other side of the house and made this side into one big casual chill-out area.
I think some of the most noteworthy choices that Lesli made in the room had to do with color. Look at those bold patterned curtains! That awesome kid-art with bright pink mats! Even the colorful Uglydoll on the couch is inspired! Too many exclamation points? Sorry, this room just gets me excited. And the coolest thing is that Lesli actually designed the fabric for those curtains herself (it's a horse painting that she did, which she uploaded to Spoonflower and duplicated a bunch of times to create an abstract ikat-ish effect). I got woozy when she told me that. Seriously, it was horse-print-induced hysteria.
Here's that room behind the one we shared above (which used to be the formal dining room until she moved that to the other side of the house). I love that Lesli made things work for her family instead of being locked into using the same layout that the previous owners did. And see that round coffee table? It was actually a kitchen table from Lesli's old house, but she cut the stand down to make it coffee-table height. Isn't that a smart use-whatcha-got trick?
Check out that big mirror over the mantel. It's original to the 100+ year old house. Gorgeous, right? Lesli was so humble about everything but I was totally standing there drooling. The cool thing about this house is that it's a great example of how you can fill an awesome old farmhouse with inexpensive items and reinvent old thrift store pieces. And nothing feels like you're going to break it or ruin it… it's approachable and comfortable.
Here's a secondhand cabinet that she rescued with some fresh paint. I love the pops of yellow and the wooden fish on the wall with the name of her city painted on it. And see that bolt of fabric leaning casually in the corner? I love it there. The whole house is so refreshingly unfussy and easy.
Here's her upstairs bathroom complete with a few more pops of color in the art and the textiles. It's cool to see how Lesli mixes old (the ornate antique mirror) with new (the geometric bath mat – which is actually a TJ Maxx find) along with a whole lotta fresh white.
Lesli's master bedroom was having some drywall work done in a few areas, but we were able to sneak this shot of the corner of the room complete with a fun graphic chair, a non-working fireplace that she filled with books, and a window cornice that she actually made out of fabric and foam core (seriously! she took one down and showed me and it looked so legit – I never would have guessed it was foam core under there and not wood). And as for a little more info on that chair, she got it cheaply because it was a floor model and then recovered it with $9.99 Dwell Studio fabric from U-Fab (she found a great upholstery guy out there who only charged $100 to recover the chair!).
Now on to my favorite room in the house! You may have seen her daughter Phoebe's room since it actually won in a recent Washington Post kids room contest, but even if you have, it's totally worth a second look. Everything from that awesome colorful chandelier (from Urban Outfitters!) to the bold blue wall with the fun pink border and some more patterned fabric cornices (plus that great geometric rug that she got on clearance from PB Teen for $150!) was completely fun and charming.
Without a doubt my favorite thing in the room were the beds. Can you believe that Lesli got them at a thrift store for super cheap and then painted and upholstered the back herself? It looked complicated (how do you curve the fabric like that?) but the curved panel actually just pops out so she added some batting and some fabric, pulled it taut and stapled it in the back, and then just screwed the panel back on. Easy peasy. The fabric is Premier Suzani Slub in Corn. Don't they look like a million bucks?
The room that her sons share was just as sweet with fun orange accents (the over-sized ceiling shade and the curtains that she made with this fabric were awesome)…
… but my favorite things in that room were these crazy.awesome.lamps. They were just cheap glass lamps that she got from Target, but they were fillable – so she decided to fill one of them with a bunch of tiny toys that her son had collected when he was younger but no longer plays with. And the other one got filled with old cars that used to be enjoyed all the time. I thought it was such a cool way to keep something sentimental around that your child might not actively play with anymore. Imagine the possibilities: legos, polly pockets, colored pencils, rubber erasers, the list goes on! Now I can expand my shadowbox obsession to fillable lamps…
So there you have Lesli's awesome house. Thanks so much to her and the family for so graciously inviting us over to crash! We had the best time, and couldn't wait to share all of her creativity with you guys. I mean, from those spoonflower curtains that Lesli designed herself to the lamps full of kid paraphernalia, we definitely left feeling super inspired! Now let's play the what's-your-favorite-part game. I gotta stick with those genius thrift store beds that she completely redid for Phoebe's room. Amazing.

I think this might be my favorite House Crash yet. You're spot on that everything looks so live-able and comfortable.
I am in loooooooooove with that fauz-fireplace/bookshelf. I emailed the photo in my interior designer friend with the caption "I need you to make this happen for me."
That house is fantastic! What's strange is that I don't think I've ever loved every single room in another person's house before and when I look around mine I have nothing even remotely close to that style! I love that chandelier, the pink lined shelves…all the slipcovers….the round coffee table…the mirror over the fireplace. ALL. OF. IT. Maybe I'm decorating my house all wrong?
How does Lesli keep her place clean with pets and kids and all that light colored furniture? Also think its super cool that her hudband is cool with all that pink and "girly" colors in the living space. How did she manage to do that?
Hi there,
A. I would be lost without my DYSON….I have been through 3…I FILL the tank!
B. All / most of the furniture is slipcovered and can and are washed frequently…
C. The furniture that is not slipcovered…the brown sofa does not show dirt and for the chevron sofa I made a cover, out of the same chevron fabric that LIVES on the sofa, unless "real" people come by!
D. The kids have never worn their shoes in the house…now if I could just get the dogs to wipe their feet!Thanks!
he must just be a cool husband!
I love all the fabric she uses throughout her house. It makes me want to get bolder with my fabric and color choices. I have slowly been introducing more color into our house but I think I really need to step it up with the fabric selection.
Awesome house crash! -
What a cozy, sweet space! It actually feels a little English to me (the mix of pale colours on the walls + colour and patterned accessories + old house charm). That pale pink on the walls in the living space -at least that what it looks like- is gorgeous. I wouldn't have thought to go pink in a main living area, but it looks amazing!
Off to check out Leslie's blog now..!!
OBSESSED doesn't even come close to describing how I feel about this house! Thanks for sharing!
Those cornice boxes just changed my life. That is all.
Whimsical is the word that came to mind for this house. You can tell they have younger children and don't mind decorating with that in mind, instead of around it.
BTW: I did the foam valance thing back in 1997 at our first house in the Bellevue area (Richmond). I used wooden skewers to connect the front and top pieces to the two sides, putting batting on top that I secured with spray glue, staple gunned the toile fabric on, and hung those suckers on L brackets. No one knew the difference and they never fell down or came apart. That's what I call an inexpensive, no sew window treatment!
This is my favourite house crashing feature to date :) I LOVE how creative she was. It's so refreshing to see how she went with what she LOVED vs. what she had seen elsewhere. This is a true trend-setter. Bravo!
FYI on the lamps- my mom is a huge tradition person- so for my sister and I we had all these birthdays that had certain gifts- our 6th birthday was a bank that my artist dad made, 13th was a hope chest, but the cool lamp gift was 21st – she got a blue tinted glass fillable lamp and filled it our lives – box with our baby teeth, graduation tassle, christening invitation, graduation announcement, charms from our great grandmothers, etc — all sorts of lifetime memories- VERY AWESOME!!!
I think this is my favorite house ever! I love the casual calm but colorful all together.
Sherry!! Saw this and thought of you. http://www.etsy.com/listing/105356087/pink-rhino
I am in love with the dot runner! I'm off to see if Lesli lists where she found it on her blog.
I am in the middle of my second "fixer-upper" and would agree with almost everything on your list of "things to overlook" EXCEPT for wallpaper. I took down layers, upon layers, in my first home and vowed never to buy a house with it again. Of course that meant that the second house would have even more and I talked myself into it anyhow. Taking down wallpaper is bad-but what can be worse is the damage to the walls left after the fact. We finally had to admit defeat and hire professional painters and drywall guys to repair some of the damage. It wasn't a huge setback-but it did eat into budget cushion.
Sherry… Being a Leslie myself, I always like to hear about other Leslie's… but is her name Leslie or Lesli… you have it both ways :)
After Leslie offered a YHL discount I ordered a painting of my dog-baby Urban. It turned out amazing and now my co-worker ordered one of her Lulu as well. Thanks for sharing Leslie with us! Her house is an amazing inspiration.
Love this tour! (I did notice a couple of inconsistencies in Leslie/Lesli, just a heads up!).
For a home packed with color you should check out the blog "Whatever" here: http://megduerksen.typepad.com/ She's a mama of 5, leads craft weekends, is a talented photographer and lovessss color. She has a home tour button in her sidebar if you scroll down (though the house is now just for her craft business).
Hi John & Sherry,
Your book is on the list of 2012 Best Books by Slate.com!!!!
You guys probably already know that, but I was just so excited to see it, I thought I'll share!
the fabrics all over this house are to do for! I can't wait to live in a "forever home" (meaning anything that isn't involving a 1 year lease) so that investing in curtain rods and drapery will be absolutely necessary :)
I think you'll be hard pressed to find any mullets in that part of Georgetown tonight. Have no fear.
I love so much about this house but I think the make-your-own-print horse curtains are my favorite! I love that it's a horse print that you wouldn't recognize as horse-y unless you looked closely – so creative!
P.S. Who do I need to talk to in order to get a Michigan location on the book tour? ;)
Hey look! She's got a giveaway on her blog!
I'm trying to find a cool discount fabric store (as in not all stuff for granny quilts and kiddie tie blankets (not that there's anything wrong with either)) in the Detroit area. The only one close by caters to … the auto industry. Hmmm …
This house just makes me happy to look at. Why don't I have more fun with color?
wow–what a gorgeous home….
ona different topic—when i saw this mirror, i instantly thought of yours hanging in your bathroom.
You're on Slate! http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/books/2012/11/best_books_2012_slate_staff_picks_their_favorites.html

'Glee' Star Chris Colfer is 'Too Old for Drama'
Chris Colfer may have one of the biggest roles on the TV drama 'Glee,' but as far as real-life drama goes, he's not having any of it.
Chris Colfer may have one of the biggest roles on the TV drama 'Glee,' but as far as real-life drama goes, he's not having any of it.
We admit it -- it seems like Chris Colfer couldn't be any different from Emma Stone. The 'Glee' star is know for playing the Broadway-bound Kurt, while Emma's dry sense of humor has made her a silver-screen darling.
For the finale of Season 2 of 'The Glee Project,' the one and only Chris Colfer, aka Kurt Hummel on 'Glee,' served as the mentor to the remaining trio of contestants: Ali, Aylin and Blake.
Get ready, Gleeks. Next month, two New Directions members will be switching bodies. How do we know? Chris Colfer confirmed the news himself.
Chris Colfer isn't just one of the hottest stars on 'Glee' -- he's also a budding children's author. His book 'The Land of Stories' is not even out until July 17, but he unveiled the cover today to ramp up excitement for the tome.
It looks like Lea Michele will be in good company on 'Glee' next season. Chris Colfer, who portrays fellow McKinley High graduating senior Kurt, will return for season four.
On Dec. 8, 'Glee' stars Chris Colfer and Darren Criss, as well as the Black Eyed Peas' leading lady, Fergie, attended 'A Night of Firsts.' The event, which was held at Cecconi's restaurant in Los Angeles, was sponsored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and InStyle.
It's a Sunday, so stars -- like the rest of us -- are reflecting on the week that just ended and looking forward to a new one beginning. Zac Hanson was observant, Christina Perri spiritual and Pete Wentz reflective when they each discuss
It's the episode that has everyone talking: On Tuesday night's upcoming ep of 'Glee,' Kurt and Blaine (played by Chris Colfer and Darren Criss, respectively) will be taking a big step in their relationship and doing it. As in, having S-E-X. (Sorry -- we're squeamish.)
With Halloween 2011 just under a week away, many stars -- like Justin Bieber -- are putting the final touches on their costumes. 'Glee' famer Chris Colfer, who portrays the favorite Kurt, visited 'Conan' on Monday to declare war on fellow Halloween party-goers, but also admitted to a (not so) surprising fear of teenage girls.

Color vision begins with the photoreceptors (which are sensors in the back of our eyes that turn light into electrical signals in the brain allowing us to perceive color). Many people have three different kinds of photoreceptors (sensitive to blues, greens and reds). The photoreceptors combine in order for us to see the full range of colors.
While color blindness is a fairly common problem affecting nearly 8 percent of men and 1 percent of women, there is also such thing as the ability to see more color. This is called tetrachromats meaning that they possess four color receptors versus three and makes them more sensitive to color.
How well do you perceive color?

Bin Laden Expert: Ron Paul is Correct
Michael Scheuer probably knows what motivates islamic terrorists (particularly Bin Laden) better than anyone in the United States. The 22-year veteran of the CIA is the former head analyst at the CIA's Bin Laden unit.
Scheuer recently told Anti-War radio the following:
"I thought Mr. Paul captured it the other night exactly correctly. This war is dangerous to America because it's based, not on gender equality, as Mr. Giuliani suggested, or any other kind of freedom, but simply because of what we do in the Islamic World – because 'we're over there,' basically, as Mr. Paul said in the debate."
I also recently heard a retired three star Army general say the same thing. When I get the audio or a transcript, I'll post it.
BTW, this is yet another expert (and a Republican-leaning expert at that) saying that Paul is right, Giuliani is wrong. So we're still waiting for an apology Rudy!

Feds' $11M Will Turn 4 Schools Into Magnets

Posted to: Schools, School Reform
A stepchild school with outdated computers will get a major technology boost, thanks to a federal grant to convert four city schools into magnet schools with math-and-science themes.
Celentano Museum Academy, the New Haven public school that has lagged the farthest behind in access to technology, will receive millions of dollars to buy new computers, iPads and smartboards, as well as train teachers and add staff, thanks to the $11 million grant the school district won from the federal government.
Celentano is one of four city schools that will use that money to become official "magnet" schools with a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) focus. Magnet schools aim to promote racial diversity and school choice by accepting students by lottery, from across New Haven and sometimes from the suburbs as well.
New Haven was one of 27 school districts nationwide that won competitive grants from the federal Magnet School Assistance Program, the U.S. Department of Education announced last week.
Click here to read New Haven's magnet grant application, which outlines how the money will be spent.
The news met celebration at a press conference Monday. It also raised a question that the school district is trying to answer: How can it ensure that resources flow equitably to stepchild schools that are not magnets?
4 "Destinations"
The news conference took place at Strong School at 130 Orchard St., where kids lined up on the ground to greet top officials and smile before a TV camera.
Strong School, which serves grades K to 4, is one of three existing schools tapped for the transformation. Strong will become the "21st Century Communications Magnet and Lab School." The Quinnipiac School, which also serves grades K to 4, will be dubbed the Quinnipiac Real World Math STEM School. Celentano, a pre-K to 8 school that accepts kids from across the city, will become the Celentano Biotech, Health and Medical Magnet School.
New Haven's grant application also calls for creating the New Haven Montessori STEM Magnet School for grades pre-K to 6. The Montessori school doesn't exist yet. Superintendent Garth Harries said the school district aims to merge the new magnet with Elm City Montessori School, a first-of-its-kind "local charter" that is set to open in the fall of 2014.
The federal magnet program aims to increase racial diversity in the schools. The schools won't be state-sanctioned magnets, which must accept 35 percent suburban kids. They'll be federal magnets, accepting suburban kids through Project Open Choice. Suburban parents who want their kids to attend New Haven schools will apply through a lottery run by ACES, which is separate from New Haven's magnet lottery. Through Project Open Choice, each school decides how many seats per grade to hold open for suburban kids. There isn't a fixed percentage of suburban kids, but it's usually lower than 35 percent, according to Debbie Breland of the school district magnet office.
New Haven won $11,294,384 over three years to pay for the new magnet themes; the grant will pay $3.7 million in the first year.
The three city schools tapped for conversion are what could be called "stepchild" schools. Strong and Quinnipiac were both first created as overflow schools for kids who who failed to win seats through the magnet lottery and who did not get into their neighborhood schools. Strong is currently at the old Vincent Mauro school, which does not have a functional playground. Strong accepts kids from the west side of town; Quinnipiac serves the east.
Both schools have evolved from "overflow" schools into schools with a stronger sense of identity, Harries said. He said the grant—which will provide extra staff, teacher training, technology, and a new curricular focus on STEM—will help make them "destination schools."
Celentano Principal Keisha Hannans (pictured) predicted the same trajectory for her school.
Celentano used to serve exclusively special needs children until the 1990s, when it started accepting general-education kids as well. Celentano now accepts students from across the district—including kids who strike out in district's highly competitive magnet lottery. Celentano is basically an overflow school, Hannans said—it doesn't have a strong theme that makes families clamor to get in. It doesn't serve a specific neighborhood. It doesn't have extra resources that magnet schools get.
As a non-magnet school, Celentano is one of a half-dozen schools that bear the brunt of mid-year transfers—students who change schools in the middle of the year. Over 17 percent of students join the school after Oct. 1. The students join from other magnets, charters, or from out of town—some because of behavioral problems or special needs.
Celentano, which serves 400 students, was farthest behind in getting new technology, according to Assistant Superintendent Imma Canelli. Celentano was the school she most worried about having enough computers to take new Common Core-aligned standardized tests, she said.
The school has "outdated" computers, eight-year-old laptops, and two smartboards—interactive whiteboards that are replacing chalkboards in most schools. With the magnet grant, the school will be able to buy new iPads, interactive "smart tables," and put a smartboard in every classroom, Hannans said.
"The grant will enable us to upgrade technology and bring us into the 21st century," Hannans said.
Each of the three schools—Strong, Quinnipiac and Celentano—will implement the new STEM theme this year. They'll each get to hire two new magnet resource teachers to help integrate the theme into the classroom, according to Canelli. Money will also pay for extra teacher training.
"The quality of instruction will improve," through the new technology and professional development, Hannans said.
The Broader Magnet Challenge
Hannans sits on an "equity committee" of school district staff and teachers that has been examining the disparities between magnet and non-magnet schools. The group has been looking at the kind of issues that put Celentano at a disadvantage, including high transience and less per-pupil funding.
As a magnet with extra money, Hannans' school will now cross to the other side of the divide. Hannans was asked about the impact that might have on the remaining neighborhood schools.
"This is a great opportunity for these kids," she replied. But "the district needs to find a way to fund schools equitably."
"Schools shouldn't have to become a magnet school to receive funds," she said.
Harries, who has put equity at the top of his list as he begins his first year as superintendent, vowed to keep working on the problem.
He was asked if creating more schools of choice would make life more challenging for the dwindling number of neighborhood schools in the district.
"It would, if we weren't self-conscious about it," Harries replied.
He said there's nothing prohibiting magnet schools from accepting late transfers; it just hasn't been standard practice in New Haven.
"These are issues we've got to focus on regardless" of the creation of new magnets, he said.
He said the district's goal is to lift all schools.
"We need every one of our schools to be one that" families want to send their kids to. "This is going to make them attractive neighborhood options and magnet options."
The magnet schools will likely still give preference to kids from a certain geographic area. The district hasn't yet decided where those boundaries will lie; that decision will be part of a citywide redistricting process, Harries said.
A previous version of this story follows.
Four city schools will take on new science and technology themes, thanks to a windfall of federal money supporting new magnet schools.
New Haven was one of 27 school districts nationwide that won competitive grants from the federal Magnet School Assistance Program, the U.S. Department of Education announced last week.
New Haven won $11,294,384 over three years to convert four schools into magnet schools with a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) focus. Magnet schools aim to promote diversity and school choice by accepting students by lottery, from across New Haven and sometimes from the suburbs as well. The grant will pay $3.7 million in the first year.
New Haven will create the following STEM-themed magnets: Celentano Biotech, Health and Medical Magnet School (Prek-8); Quinnipiac Real World Math STEM School (K-4); 21st Century Communications Magnet and Lab School (K-4); and New Haven Montessori STEM Magnet School (PreK-6), according to its application.
The Montessori school doesn't exist yet; it's set to launch in September 2014 as a first-of-its-kind "local charter"—click here to read more about that.
The New Haven school district plans to announce more details at an 11:30 a.m. press conference at Strong School at 130 Orchard St.

Does this mean that there is enough money to allow NEW HAVEN students into the magnet schools instead of suburban kids?
New Rule: If you have white-flighted out of the district, don't feel so entitled to plant your kid in a seat that should be reserved for a New Haven resident. Your selfishness should know some bounds.
posted by: True that on October 1, 2013 1:15am
Here is the paradox: New Haveners want more New Haven kids in magnet schools, and rightly so. New Haven is a segregated city. The super says they may draw from certain geographic areas. Research shows that Socioeconomically integrated schools improve all student's achievement. If you draw from certain neighborhoods, and these neighborhoods are segregated, you continue to get segregated schools. The smart thing to do is to intentionally integrate these schools Socioeconomically in order to improve the students achievement.
Notice that Harries, a Broad Academy graduate, slipped a charter school into the district. Did the public know anything about this proposal? Incredible.
posted by: nhstudent4ever on October 1, 2013 5:29am
Hannans is absolutely right, a school shouldn't have to be a magnet school in order to get the resources it needs. Tying schools to neighborhoods would be a really positive thing for communities.
Harries: If magnets can accept late transfers, then they should really start. That is one of the biggest equity problems. Apparently for high school, "capacity" is determined (or at least was under the Mayo administration) based on average english class size. That made absolutely no sense when there are disparities between class sizes. His argument was that even if a school's enrollment is "over capacity" it doesn't matter because not all students show up to school every day. Great! Having a policy that starts out with the assumption of truancy is just ridiculous. I hope Harries can make some positive changes to improve equity.

Yes, I white-flighted and no I don't feel entitled to a seat in a New Haven magnet school. I wish not to subject my 6 year old to the societal ills that come from being poor in the inner city: mental health issues, drug abuse,incarcerated parents etc which lead to behavioral problems in school. The suburbs has enough socio-economic diversity believe it or not and I will travel abroad to expose her to cultural diversity, because one faction of a race/culture/ethnic group is not representative of all.

While I am so happy for the schools that got this wonderful grant I am also once again reminded that New Haven schools are a tale of the haves and the have-nots. I am a long time teacher in New Haven and work at a school in which our technology in the classroom consists of blackboards. When we were renovated 11 years ago we were given computers and projectors that are still in use (if they work, which many do not). We make due with what we have. We have no white boards, no laptops and no way of updating our sadly out of date technology. We, too, would like to join the 21st century! Garth Harries needs to visit our wonderful school and know that ALL New Haven children deserve to have access to technology. Each teacher in our school recently received 1 new computer to use for a class of 27 students. I bought my own portable projector and document camera so that my students can learn. That was over $900 out of my own pocket. I am happy to be able to do that for my students because they deserve it. But it shouldn't have to be this way. This should be a top priority for Harries; to update ALL the schools and not make the few, like us, who get no monies, have to feel jealous of the schools that do.
posted by: Brutus2011 on October 2, 2013 9:18am
I am gratified that "Rozzie" posted about his/her experiences as a long-time educator here.
This is precisely the situation while teaching here in New Haven.
Teachers must spend significantly to try to teach our kids. I too had to buy my own projector, and more, to make the most of each available instructional moment.
Mr. Harries should make sure that all this grant money finds its way to the classroom.
But somehow it never does.
And the beat goes on.

Correction @ Hannans: CMA had a strong theme ... that of being a Museum Academy. That was until you took over thanks only to your ties to Reggie Mayo. Laura Russo was a dynamic principal who believed strongly in the Museum theme, which turned students into docents, explaining their work and why it was important. Parents routinely visited the school to view and celebrate student exhibits. That ended when you replaced Russo, who by the way, has become on of East haven's top administrators. Perhaps this magnet theme will distract people from the fact that you destroyed the museum theme and haven't led the school out of Tier III status in your 6 years at Celentano.

Our trucking company will always call you before the delivery and let you check the condition of your items when they arrive, so do not worry about that you could miss the delivery.
Don't be fooled by some companies "Free Shipping" offers. They just add shipping charge in their product prices and their prices are usually $150-$500 more than our prices. In addition, some competitors only ship your bike to the nearest trucking company terminals, those terminals are not readily available in a lot areas, that means you may have to spend your own time, your own gas and get a truck and trailer to drive long way ( in some cases, it could be more than 150 miles) to get it. Also, some competitors will ask you to pay additional $30-50 for residential address delivery and $50-$75 for liftgate service. Those motorcycles are very heavy and in most cases, you do need those services and end up paying a lot more for shipping.
No any hidden charges or tricks here, we only offer you fast, reliable and honest services. Our shipping charge already includes liftgate service and residential address delivery and we will deliver your bike right to your door.
Note: For oversized bikes, there might be a chance that our trucking company driver cannot unload this bike with liftgate on his own. The reason is that there is no lift gate big enough to unload this bike and this bike is too heavy for one person to unload. If our trucking company informs us so, you are expected to have several friends to help our truck driver to unload the bike when it arrives at your door. You can also provide a business address with a forklift to us for delivery or you can go to trucking company local terminal to pick up your bike.

Ride Safe and Have Fun!
Off-road riding is great fun! When you take proper safety precautions, injury is less likely to occur. As a responsible rider, you must outfit yourself in appropriate safety gear every time you hit the trails. Doing so keeps injuries and equipment damage to a minimum.
Buy a helmet safety approved by the Department of Transportation. It will have "D.O.T." stamped on the back, near the base. It should fit snugly, allowing very little head movement within the helmet.
Purchase a quality set of goggles. Trail debris can hit a rider in the face, and sunglasses do not offer enough eye protection. Purchase special safety goggles that easily fit over prescription eyeglasses if necessary.
Obtain a high-quality pair of off-road riding boots. Tennis shoes and hiking boots are not safe enough for off-road trail riding. A single rock can break an ankle on an ORV trail. Stout riding boots with heavy-duty casings are essential trail safety gear.
Buy a comfortable pair of riding gloves. Vibration from the handlebars can cause sore hands and wrists. A good pair of riding gloves will absorb some of the impact and make your ride more enjoyable.
Purchase the appropriate clothing. Regardless of outside temperature, wear a lightweight, long sleeved shirt and thick, full-length pants to protect the skin. Breathable material is necessary, as are bright colors easily visible to oncoming riders. Riding pants and jerseys offer the rider much needed protection from overhanging limbs, branches, and flying debris.
Acquire a chest protector. Stones thrown by other ATVs and unexpected branches in the trail can hit a person squarely in the chest while trail riding. It is extremely dangerous to have the wind knocked out of you at 50 mph. A chest protector is mandatory safety gear for ORV trail riding.
Purchase a good neck brace. It provide strong support and good protection to your neck and it is mandatory to wear for dirt riding in some states.

Match Preview
Ridgewell hopes Foster move can be permanent Defender Liam Ridgewell wants West Brom to try and make goalkeeper Ben Foster's loan move from Birmingham permanent. Ridgewell has first-hand knowledge of Foster's qualities from their spell together at Birmingham. The former Manchester United player helped Blues win the Carling Cup 12 months ago before making the temporary switch to the Hawthorns last summer on a season-long loan. But Ridgewell, who moved to the Baggies from St Andrew's last month for an undisclosed fee, hopes it can become a long-term deal. Ridgewell said: "I hope Albion do pursue it. For us to push forward we need some top quality players and Ben is certainly one of those. "Transfer policy is nothing to do with me but Ben is a good keeper and it would be good to have him permanently. "Even at Birmingham, Ben was a fantastic keeper. He is quality and it's a pleasure to play in front of him. "He is up there with the best. We had Joe Hart at Blues before Ben and the two are not dissimilar in their stature, the way they play." West Brom have received a fitness boost ahead of Saturday's home clash with Sunderland with skipper Chris Brunt back in training for the first time since suffering a fractured ankle on New Year's Day. Head coach Roy Hodgson believes Brunt could be available for next weekend's encounter with crisis club Chelsea at the Hawthorns. Hodgson said: "Chris Brunt has only trained twice and has only really trained once with the team, which was Friday. "There was never really any chance of Chris Brunt being considered for this game. "But he's certainly well within his schedule and the prognosis the medical people set, so that is a positive. Yes, he might have a chance for the Chelsea game. "Once he gets back into training, trains fully for a week and has no reaction to the ankle that was operated on, then there is no reason he shouldn't be considered." Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill will have no qualms about sending striker Fraizer Campbell away on England duty despite his recent injury nightmare. Indeed, the Ulsterman will wave the 24-year-old off under orders to make the most of his dream call-up just weeks after his return from an 18-month lay-off. Campbell will join up with caretaker manager Stuart Pearce's squad for next Wednesday night's friendly clash with Holland after the Black Cats' Barclays Premier League trip to West Brom tomorrow, and while O'Neill will be keeping his fingers crossed that he, like all the club's international players, returns unscathed, he will have no particular concerns. He said: "If he is okay and he is well within himself at the moment, then why not avail yourself of this opportunity? "It's a chance for him, it's a chance that he wouldn't have expected. It's a chance that he wouldn't have dreamt about five or six or seven weeks ago. "From that viewpoint while it's there, I don't think he could go back and say to them, 'I'll not take this opportunity'. "Go for it, go and enjoy it. If you get on the field of play, that's a massive bonus, but just being around quality players in the England set-up, he couldn't ask for a bigger boost. "Stuart Pearce is well aware of his injury history and just for him to be around the squad is great. "If he gets on the field, it will be fantastic. I wouldn't expect too much, and I am sure that Fraizer wouldn't be expecting too much. "Just to have a couple of days there, a different environment being involved with the squad, it's a massive boost for him, a really, really big boost. "Knowing Fraizer, he will treat it in the right way too." Sunderland head for the Hawthorns having dumped Arsenal out of the FA Cup last weekend to extend their run to just three defeats in O'Neill's 15 games to date. Striker Nicklas Bendtner could figure wearing a protective facial mask after missing out against his parent club under the terms of his loan agreement, although O'Neill will be taking nothing for granted against a side which routed derby rivals Wolves 5-1 on their own pitch last time out. He said: "While their home form maybe needs attending, the truth is that they are going into the game on an absolute high."

Match Report
Four-star Baggies tame Black Cats Peter Odemwingie's double helped West Brom clinch their first home win in three months as they overpowered below-par Sunderland in a 4-0 Barclays Premier League win at the Hawthorns. Odemwingie followed up his hat-trick against Wolves with another impressive performance with James Morrison and Keith Andrews the other Baggies marksmen. Roy Hodgson's side, who had collected only one point from their previous six home games, dominated against the previously on-song Black Cats. Odemwingie looks full of confidence, in contrast to the injury-hit player who has struggled for much of the campaign, despite playing in a wide role. Central striker Marc-Antoine Fortune was also a key player with his hold-up play while Morrison had another effective game in midfield. But Albion controlled all departments and snapped away at the challenges in midfield, not allowing Martin O'Neill's side to settle. O'Neill, who is 60 on Thursday, will hope this is a one-off performance after transforming Sunderland's fortunes and only Craig Gardner posed any sort of goal threat. Odemwingie needed only three minutes to break the deadlock. Youssouf Mulumbu supplied a teasing cross from the left of the Sunderland box and Odemwingie got in front of Kieran Richardson to send his glancing header past Simon Mignolet. It was the Nigerian international's nine goal of the campaign. Albion dominated possession and midfielder Andrews tested Mignolet with a dipping drive. It was 26 minutes before the visitors had their first shot on goal and then Gardner dragged his low drive well wide. Albion continued to play with purpose and Mignolet turned aside a Jonas Olsson header from a Steven Reid free-kick. Then Mignolet parried a curling Morrison attempt after a period of neat one-touch football. But Albion's perseverance paid off with Morrison doubling their lead after 41 minutes. The Scotland international was perfectly placed to head home a fine cross from Jerome Thomas from close range with the Sunderland defence at sixes and sevens. O'Neill made a double half-time switch with new England recruit Fraizer Campbell and fellow striker Nicklas Bendtner, who was playing with a face mask, replacing Kieran Richardson and Jack Colback. The Black Cats were now playing three up front and Albion keeper Ben Foster clung onto a low drive from Gardner. But their bold policy left them prone to being caught on the counter-attack and after 49 minutes Odemwingie put Albion 3-0 ahead. Foster's quick throw out to Morrison left Albion in a two versus two attacking position and they took full advantage. Morrison picked out the run of Fortune who squared the ball across the box to Odemwingie who made no mistake with a low drive. Thomas came close to making it 4-0 when he cut inside and saw his curling attempt hit the crossbar. Gardner was the only player posing a threat for Sunderland and a swerving shot hit the body of Foster. Albion continued to look more menacing and Michael Turner cleared a goal-bound shot from Fortune. Reid then produced a superb block tackle to halt Stephane Sessegnon as he prepared to shoot inside the West Brom box. John O'Shea became the first player to be yellow carded for a challenge on Morrison. Graham Dorrans was also booked a minute later for a mis-timed tackle on Phil Bardsley Andrews made it 4-0 in injury-time with a curling shot after good play between Morrison and Dorrans teed up the chance.
