ReviewI am a true car person. I have owned way to many new cars over the years and this is truly the best. The first thing to do for gas mileage is to change the air filter to the K&N. Use Mobil 1 oil and my mileage has ran as high as 41MPG when trying. I get a constant 30MPG when my wife drives and that is great. She just drives and does not worry about mileage. She has never gotten any better than 17MPG with any other car that she has had both large and small cars of many makes and models. Thank you Ford for taking a large step for fuel. The others have a lot of catching up to do. Ford rules
Best FeaturesFuel mileage, fun to drive, great styling and a good ride. It's a real head turner. You must also remember that this is not a top of the line luxury car. You are trying to get fuel mileage so forget about all the bells and whistles.
Worst FeaturesFor even better fuel mileage that rated change the air filter to the K&N reusable filter. I also us 0-20 Mobil 1.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
I both love and hate the time change that just happened. Those first few days are magical. You wake up on Sunday at around 5:30, and you're raring to go. Full of energy with a whole day ahead of you, plus an hour. It's like time slows down and you're ahead of schedule on everything. It's always an hour before you thought it was, no matter what time it is. But then you get used to the time change, and you notice it's getting dark out at like four in the afternoon. The afternoon ceases to feel like the afternoon. You get sleepy earlier, which is a good thing in some ways, but I also like to get in something outdoorsy later in the day. Maybe a hike, maybe some paddling. I can't do that anymore.
All that said, the time may have changed, but Mondays stay the same: Dear Mark question and answer sessions. Today, I discuss the fate of vitamin K2 during dairy pasteurization, explain why I don't wash my eggs, and give my thoughts on tapioca flour. Then, I field a very sad story from a reader in Argentina and try my best to assuage him. Finally, I discuss the potential costs of feeding a pack of large dogs the raw diet.
Does pasteurizing dairy destroy its Vitamin K2?
While there's no smoking gun of which I'm aware, it appears as if vitamin K2 is retained during pasteurization. See Chris Masterjohn's definitive article on vitamin K2 (or "Activator X," as Weston Price knew it) where he notes that everything he's seen suggests that it is heat-stable. Price himself found that "Activator X" survived pasteurization. And according to Real Milk (a pro-raw, anti-pasteurization dairy site), this article sees "no evidence" that pasteurization affects "Activator X" status.
If anyone has evidence to the contrary, I'd like to see it, though.
Dear Mark,
Is it safe to eat farm-fresh eggs without washing them? If they should be washed, what is the best method?
Steve L
If you trust the conditions of the farm, I don't see a reason to wash the eggs. I don't even always refrigerate the pastured eggs I get, let alone wash them. The farmers don't wash them either.
Premature washing of an egg removes the "bloom," the thin protective layer that prevents bacteria from entering the egg (which is actually slightly porous, believe it or not). Excessive handling can also remove or degrade the bloom, but most farm fresh eggs – in my experience – don't undergo a lot of handling. Besides, if eggs didn't come equipped with natural, protective shielding and instead required the loving hand of a farmer, some running water, and a dollop of bleach to survive until hatching, chickens never would have made it to 2011.
Washed eggs actually go bad quicker than unwashed eggs. Don't wash your eggs.
I was wondering about tapioca flour. I have found it locally. It is gluten free. I was wondering if it could be used like coconut flour. Thanks.
Tapioca flour is one of the "safe starches." That is, it's a toxin-free, antinutrient-less, dense source of carbohydrate. I wouldn't exactly compare it to coconut flour, which is extremely high in fiber, low in digestible carbs, and really soaks up the liquid in a recipe. Tapioca flour can be treated more like potato or rice starch. It's a classic carby flour, albeit one without gluten and other noted toxins.
For someone with good glucose control, tapioca is a decent source of carbs. If you're looking to add carbohydrates, or your activity level warrants it, go ahead and try it out. Since tapioca comes from cassava, which is perhaps the most popular source of starch across the entire world, it's not like it's a dietary unknown. To venture into tapioca territory is to travel a well-beaten path. Just realize that anytime you turn something into flour, you massively increase the speed at which it breaks down into usable energy. High energy burners in need of a quick hit may find that to be a plus, while more sedentary individuals might react poorly to a quick infusion of glucose (especially if it's not going to be utilized right away or sequestered into already swollen muscle glycogen stores). Your call based on your context.
Please help me get this straight: I asked my butcher and he told me the meat he sells comes from cows that are pastured their whole life and then are sent to feeding lots for the last 15 or 20 days before being butchered; he referred to this as "supplemented cows". To me is quite clear this is "grain-finished" meat.
My questions are: Does this beef still counts as "grass-fed" or should I take it as plain and simple "grain-fed"? Do those last 20 days of eating corn nullify the previous 3 or 4 years of grazing? From a nutritional point of view, does this kind of grain-finishing cause the same result as ordinary grain-feeding (I mean, keeping the cow in a feed-lot for longer periods of time)?
I would REALLY appreciate some answers and/or any piece of information you could point me to in order to clarify this situation.
As always, thanks a lot!
Juan (writing from Argentina, once known as the-land-of-grazing-cows! Well done, civilization!)
Juan, I feel your pain.
But don't despair. I wasn't able to find any data on the effects of 10-20 days of grain feeding on otherwise grass-fed cattle, but I did find a study that compared the nutritional content of beef raised three ways: grass-fed for life, grass-fed and grain-finished for the last 80 days, and grass-fed and grain-finished for the last 150-200 days. As you might expect, grass-fed for life contained the most omega-3 fatty acids and CLA, while feeding grain reduced omega-3 and CLA. No surprise there. Grain-finishing decreased omega-3 and CLA content. Also no surprise.
However, it wasn't as if that first mouthful of corn and soy immediately removed omega-3, lowered CLA, and irrecoverably altered the nutrient density for the worse. The benefits of grass-feeding weren't totally undone, and grain-feeding didn't work like an on/off switch. Rather, it's a spectrum. Cattle that were grain-fed for the last 80 days of their lives had more omega-3 and CLA than cattle that were grain-fed for 150-200 days. In other words, the longer you grain feed, the more you impact the nutritional content of the animal's meat. That would leave me to believe that 10-20 days of grain feeding is probably enough time to negatively impact the nutritional makeup of the meat (and especially the omega-3/CLA content), but not enough time to undo all the good of grass feeding.
It's also worth noting that one of the biggest problems with feeding cattle grain for life is that it usually requires the use of antibiotics. If you feed them a diet they aren't genetically adapted to for long enough their health will suffer and drug intervention will become a necessity. Grass-finished cattle (the shorter the period the better) are less likely to need antibiotics.
So, 10-20 days appears to be on the low end of the spectrum. I'd say eat away.
And I was planning on visiting Argentina sometime, too. Dang. (Kidding; I still want to go!)
I accidentally ran across your article about the raw diet for dogs. I am interested in it. However, with feeding 9 large dogs (wt 70lbs to 120lbs) will it be cheaper than what my pet food bill is now? I currently spend 450 a month on the dog food, with one of my dogs having a special diet because she is allergic to everything, and I do mean everything, except veggies (green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes) and fish. Also, do you know of any websites where I can buy organ meat? Thank you in advance.
I doubt it, but it really depends on your sources.
I'll give an example. One of my Worker Bees has a 70 pound dog who eats all raw. He's lucky, because he has access to a raw-feeding co-op which gets incredible deals from local small farms. All the meat is human-grade, pastured, grass-fed, and often organic, and it's very affordable. His dog gets about one and a half pounds of food a day, mostly meat, bones, and various innards (liver, tripe, spleen, trachea, all sorts of cool stuff), supplemented with yogurt, fish, berries, shellfish, and sometimes vegetables. For convenience, he also buys preformed raw meat chubs of ground meat, bone, organ, and vegetable for $2/lb. He feeds his dog on $3 a day. And that's grass-fed, high quality stuff. Very doable with one dog. With nine, though? That would get really expensive, really fast. Say all nine dogs are 70 pounds (which yours aren't) eating $3 worth of food a day. At 28 days a month (allowing for a few days of intermittent fasting, which dogs are naturals at), that's $756.
However, said Worker Bee lives in the SF Bay Area, where prices are generally higher than in other areas of the country. Things might be, and probably are different in your neck of the woods.
Here's what I'd recommend: find a butcher or meat counter and get to know the people who work it. Tell them you need a steady supply of muscle meat, organs, and bones for your pets (many butchers will have experience preparing pet food for customers) and tell them your budget. Figure about a half pound of food for every 25 pounds of dog and go from there. Don't worry too much about grass-fed this or pastured that; even conventional meat is better than kibble (especially considering the kibble makers use the cheapest "meat" possible in their products). There are online sites that sell organs and even pre-mixed raw dog food, but they run around $2 a pound at the least. At those prices, your monthly bills will run over $450, no question. I think you'll end up paying more than $450 a month regardless, but I suspect you'll save a ton on vet bills.
Join this Yahoo raw feeders' group. I've heard nothing but good things about it, and it's very active with a lot of helpful members wiling to give advice. There's a good chance you find someone near you who can give more specific advice. Good luck!
That's it for this week, folks. Keep sending the questions along, and chime in with any new ones related to today's topics in the comment section. Thanks!

102 Comments on "Dear Mark: Vitamin K2, Washing Eggs, Tapioca Flour, Short Term Grain Feeding, and a Raw-Fed Pack"
Glad to hear that vitamin k2 is still present in pasteurized dairy. Cheese is the best source, right?
We buy a huge slab of irish cheese from costco. It's kerrygold brand so I imagine its 100% grass-fed. It's pasteurized but, I do wonder, is this necessarily bad if you hardly eat any dairy?
It seems like kerrygold pastuerized cheese is not harmful outside of the casein content if one is intolerant.
My dog eats normal dog food but is happy and pretty healthy. He's getting old at 8.5 years but should have a lot of years left. Gotta love them boston terriers!
Kitty Roca is really toxic to dogs. My schnauzer nearly died from eating it. Dogs love raw eggs and top breeders recommend one occasionally. I can understand his frustration with you blocking this treat. Since my dog has a 4 inch beard raw eggs are a bath day only treat.
Worst dog day for me ever was freshly laid kitty poo eaten and regurgitated. I nearly regurgitated cleaning it up. The only thing worse to have on a carpet than cat shit is barfed up cat shit.
Copraphilia – dogs eating manure of any kind – is usually regarded as a behavior problem. It's not normal, generally. Please see your vet and consider some visits with a trainer.
Try coming home from work to cat poo on the bed and barfed up cat poo on the couch. That was a bad day, for me and for the cat.
We call that kitty roca in our house!
What's EVO?
EVO is a brand of dog food, made by Innova. It is grain free and high quality ingredients, but still made by processing and extruding the food…it seems to me to be a step towards raw feeding (my previous switched to it before I fed him raw).
Very informative! 🙂
I've been trying to get my sister to start feeding her dog a more primal diet… like a lot of humans he is getting pretty chunky on his current grain-based ones. Good to know there are affordable options!
Whoah, hold the phone, whats the name of that raw-feeding co-op in the Bay Area?
Wow, AND thats actually really close to my house! Thanks Im totally going to check this out 🙂
Good questions!
I have transitioned my cats off grains, but the picky little monsters will not eat raw. Thankfully, we have an excellent pet supply store nearby and they stock a grain-free kibble made with human grade meats. I read a study that cats on regular kibble lived 30 percent longer when fish oil was added to their food, so I fish oil their kibble. Since ditching grains, they have lost weight and become more active beasts. If I ever get any more cats, I will start the little buggers on a species appropriate raw diet.
I have not been able to get my cats on a raw diet either. However when I switched to PB I found a grain free food for them that they love. My cats are brothers from the same litter and one was starting to get a bit husky but since the switch he has been maintaining at a healthy weight and his brother has put on a bit more lean mass.
My pesky feline that i call trouble,loves it when i have canned salomon (salt free),when i open the tin,i pour the liquid in a bit of her food
I switched my 17 year old cat to EVO kibble a couple of years ago. He won't eat anything fish-oil — and believe me, I've tried lots of different oils — so I buy the fish-based mix. He also gets a lot of raw organ meat and muscle meat, and a bit of canned wet foot. I'm slowly moving him toward the raw and away from Fancy Feast. Bye Bye Purina.
I used the same site Mark mentioned above to transition my dog. They also have lots of cat owners write in, and most everyone reports that cats are very hard to switch to raw from kibble – it just takes time. Might be a really good site to look at, and I think Yahoo also has a cats-only raw feeding site (although I don't have a cat, do I don't know). Good luck with it; even just switching off the grain-based food should help though.
I feed my 65-lb dog raw food, unfortunately mostly grocery-store conventional chicken. I figure pastured animals > conventional animals > kibble. I'd like to move further toward the pastured end of that continuum, so I'm going to talk to my butcher next time I'm in to order a beef box about putting together a "doggie box" of the cheapest bone-in cuts and offal I can get. We'll see what kind of a deal I can get if I offer to basically take ANYTHING they're getting rid of, as long as it came from a grass-fed cow.
What differences have you seen in your dog – are there any noticeable improvements in health from switching to raw food? I would imagine it would increase longevity, but I'm interested to hear more about short-term benefits of raw food for pups.
Oh I forgot, he gets tons of eggs and bones with marrow too!
Very interesting – thanks Alicia! Sounds like one happy dog. 🙂
Been feeding our GSD raw since he was a puppy. When we picked him up from the breeder he was being fed kibble and had a protruding belly. After the swtich the Raw (mainly tripe, which smells awesome) and beef. his stomach swelling reduced. Also the #1 reason for some people to go raw is Dog poos become smaller, and less smelly.
"You get sleepy earlier, which is a good thing in some ways, but I also like to get in something outdoorsy later in the day. Maybe a hike, maybe some paddling. I can't do that anymore."
Head lamp!!! Or a torch-bearer
Yep, and just keep an eye out for the sharks 😀
Hmm, washing the eggs and worrying about bacteria… Never done it myself. Unless your food comes from overpopulated disgusting farms, there is no reason to fear bacteria.
My hens crap on top of their eggs (probably there is a problem with the design of the coop)- I wash them if they are dirty.
Let the poop dry and scrape it off. You can use sandpaper to get off the rest.
Or just wash the eggs right before you crack them.
I've never even heard of or considered washing eggs, interesting! Why? When you don't eat the shell anyways.
ha ha!! we had the same thought, about eating the shell, at the same time!
The eggs come out the same way chicken poop comes out- through the cloaca. They can have some "mud" on the shells. Chickens are not clean animals, either- the nesting boxes can get pretty dirty.
When you crack eggs open, the germs can get into your food.
Best bet: wash farm fresh eggs immediately before using. If you are making mayo or other raw dishes, use soap.
I don't wash my eggs because I don't eat the shell.
I buy mine AND my dog's food in the marked-down meat section. sometimes we have the same thing for dinner; his might be less cooked. The other night we both ate boneless chuck ribs & broccoli (his favorite veg!). I supplement with some grain-free kibble, and a mixture of salmon, cod liver, & avocado oil for his coat. He gets a raw meaty bone every day.
Loved that article on Vitamin K2 by Chris Masterjohn. Now I know that not only are sprout-fed egg yolks delicious, they're a potent source of ACTIVATOR X [/booming narrator voice]
Oh and lamb!
Forgot to mention that I love the fact that when I give her scraps from our food I know that its all so healthy for her. It's funny (or sad) other people that feed there animals scraps get fat and get diabetes..hmm.. does anyone notice a connection?????
Why is it that the average american knows not to feed their animals grain (or at least that its not good for them) but somehow us humans its OK and even told as HEALTHY?
because the connection is not as obvious in people as in dogs. people are obviously true omnivores, while dogs are just as obviously naturally carnivores.
Re: the cat's UTIs
I don't know your full story, so sorry if this is off base.
Cats are notorious for being picky drinkers and therefore having more concentrated urine than is ideal/healthy. Since buying my older guy a "cat fountain", he has probably doubled his water intake.
To keep the dogs out of it(and keep it clean longer), you'd have to put the fountain up where only the cat could get to it. Just a thought, maybe too much trouble without knowing if it would help with the UTI problem?
What yahoo group? I would love to feed my dogs more this way, but everything I have found has been very expensive.
Forgot to say I reckon I pay between $1 to $1.50 per dog per day in food and the lightest one is 80lbs
I'm very very happy to see you promoting a raw meaty bones and organs diet for dogs!
I have an on-line friend in Argentina. She had never heard of feedlot cattle. When she looked into it, she was shocked that it was being practiced there. Sad indeed.
Suggestion: Raw for dogs? Deer hunting season. My understanding that most hunters/processors are not using the "bits" maybe they would sell/give it to you inexpensively (seems like it would save them disposal costs)?
After reading this thread I've decided in my next life I'm coming back as a dog with a Primal owner.
the owner of the restaurant I worked in always says in his next life he's coming back as my dog – he gets all the trimmings & scraps from tenderloins, ribeyes, duck, bison…
Both my husband & I have BAAAAD reactions to tapioca flour. I suggest trying it on a day you don't have to leave the house!
9 DOGS? Wow…
When Joel Salatin was on the Underground Wellness podcast about two years ago (Jan 28, 2010) he talked about grain feeding and claimed that "14 days of grain feeding pushes all the CLA out of the cows body."
I'm not sure of his source but thought I'd throw that out there. I also vaguely remember the guys from Wellness Meats being on a podcast (either Jimmy Moore or Underground Wellness) and talking about what grain feeding does. Don't remember stats from that at all, but it's out there.
I'm sure my cat (died on Good Friday 2009, r.i.p…) would have lived longer if we hadn't fed her that boxed cat food…don't buy that processed whiskas rubbish or, for that matter, packaged dry dog food (I'm no authority on dogs but I'm sure the stuff is no better).
N=1 feedback on tapioca flour.
Mark is spot on. IF you are coming off a good 4 mile run or a strenous HIT workout or something have at it. Otherwise you will feel the old feeling you used to have after eating a sandwhich and chips.
Just my 2 cents.
I don't wash anything I eat, fruits vegetables etc.
It would never occur to me to wash eggs.
Keep in mind dogs are mostly scavengers, so they will eat raw easier than cats which are hunters. If you have ever had an outdoor cat that caught mice, moles and birds you will notice they eat the organs first while still warm and often leave the rest. When trying to switch a cat to a raw diet possibly starting with organ meats that have been warmed ever so gently (not cooked) may convince them to try. Just a thought.
Dark yes, but get some really powerful lights for your bicycles! Midnight riding in the cold is utterly magical.
I guess I'm just an another one in the crowd that has never considered washing eggs. If you're cooking them, I wouldn't think there would be a need.
I never even gave it a thought!
I feed my dog RAW. I use a local frozen patty product. The cost isn't an issue because my dog is only 20 lbs. However, I started feeding RAW after my dog suffered for months with colitis. I tried every brand of food from Costco to the premium brands like Nöw. Within a day of switching to RAW, his colitis cleared up. Worth every penny IMHO.
what is the local frozen patty product?
All that comes to mind when I read "tapioca" is the bit from Whose Line Is It Anyway?, when Colin makes Ryan lose his mind…
I don't know where you live, You can also check out mypetcarnivor.com for raw food for your pets.
When my cat was diagnosed with diabetes I decided (with research) to put him on what they call the "Catkins" diet. Just meat, no wheat or dry food. He reversed out of diabetes and his brother lost a few pounds too. Apparently cats are obligate carnivores no grains or veg required.
Argentina has some of the best beef in the world. All cattle are fed some grain. Grass contains little calories so nearly all cattle need a bit of grain to be fattened.
However, there is no comparison between Argentine beef and US CAFO fed beef. The Argentine beef is far superior.
Sorry – found it! :-O
And I, too, feed my beautiful greyhound raw. She loves chicken quarters, pastured chicken livers, a bit of grass-finished beef and eggs. When I switched her over, at age 10 she started playing again and her coat and eyes got really glossy. She is now 13 and looking fabulous.
So many replies to this thread but I just wanted to add that I am feeding my dog raw meat/bones/organs. I am also on a forum who got very experienced raw feeders and most of them live in the US. If you want more information send me a pm on this forum. My username is Pimzilla.
Rawfed dogs are happy dogs 🙂

Strategy in the Public Sector: A Guide to Effective Change Management
The public sector is experiencing tremendous pressure for strategic change. Governments in many countries require public sector managers to be more responsive to the public and to deliver more value with constrained budgets. Members of the public also face change, and look to their public sector organisations to provide efficient and high quality service, while adapting their activities in a complex and dynamic world. Strategy in the Public Sector provides guidance to managers who have responsibility for delivering increased levels of efficiency and innovation and accountability. It shows how strategic changes can be made through realigning and increasing the capacity of the public sector organisation. It shows how managers are now handling strategic changes in the context of public policy, favouring pluralism of service delivery systems and partnership working. Based on the practical experience of managers in local government, central government, health services and education, the book presents insights, lessons and examples from many countries on both sides of the Atlantic that help bring about effective strategic change. Strategy in the Public Sector has been written for anyone who has a role in modernising the public sector and requires a practical guide in making strategic changes that are both responsive to the public need and sustainable.

SCHOOL BEGINS PROMPTLY AT 8:20. Children may not arrive at school prior to 8:00. Children must wait at the front of the school until the first bell rings. At the end of the school day, children must be picked up promptly unless they are enrolled in Shining Stars Day Care Program (821-6348) or Arcadia Recreation Program (574-5113).
Children in grades 3-5 may ride bicycles to school (in accordance with the age recommendation of the Arcadia Police and the California Highway Patrol.) Children must wear helmets. Bike racks are provided next to room 20. All bicycles must be locked. The school assumes no responsibility for lost or stolen bicycles.
Skateboards, skates, scooters or shoes with wheels may not be brought to school.
Drop-off and Pick-up of students
Automobile traffic can be quite heavy in the morning and at dismissal. Families are encouraged to walk to school whenever possible or carpool to reduce the number of cars arriving at Baldwin Stocker. City of Arcadia provides crossing guards at the corner of Lemon and Holly.
The following drop-off and pick-up procedures are designed to ensure student safety. The school parking lot is closed to all vehicles except school personnel and school buses. All loading and unloading of children occurs along the south curb of Lemon Avenue. Drivers need to arrive at the school traveling eastbound on Lemon Avenue. There is no loading, unloading, stopping or parking before or after school on the north side of Lemon Avenue. There are no U turns permitted in front of the school. It is recommended that all drivers follow the posted traffic and parking regulations as the Arcadia Police Department regularly monitors the parking and traffic in front of our school. Please drive carefully.
Cars must be stopped next to the curb before it is safe for children to get out of the car. Please do not allow your child to get out of the car while still in the lane of traffic. Children must not walk between cars. Once out of the car, children proceed along the sidewalk to the parking lot crosswalk in front of the school office. An adult will be on duty at that location to monitor crossing the parking lot. Children and adults should not walk through the front or back parking lot or driveway at any other location other than the crosswalk.
Please follow and respect all city traffic laws and the directions of our Volunteer Traffic Supervisors. Thank you for helping us keep all Baldwin Stocker students and families safe.
Student Pick Up in the Event of an Earthquake or Other Disaster:
- The Student Pick UP Area is at the gate on the Holly Ave side of the playground. Students may only be released to the parent or someone listed on the Emergency Card.
- Look for the sign indicating "STUDENT PICK UP." Be prepared to show identification. Once your information has been verified with the student's emergency card, you will be instructed to go to the appropriate grade level assembly area. Grade level assembly areas will be marked with signs.
- Student(s) and parent must return to the Holly Ave. gate where the "STUDENT RELEASE" area is located. The red disaster/emergency card must be signed and turned in at this station before student leaves campus.
When you get to school, please be prepared to wait. We must document who takes your child and where they plan to go. With this information, should you or any designated friend or relative come to the school and find that the child has been released, we will be able to tell you what time the child was released, with whom, and their destination.
Your patience will be required and greatly appreciated. Be prepared and explain your family emergency plan to your children. Talk with your children about who might be picking them up in a disaster, how long it may take for you or another designated person to get to them if a disaster should occur. If you should have any questions or concerns regarding the disaster plan at Baldwin Stocker, please contact the Principal or the School Office Supervisor.
Please remember... The Safety and Security of everyone is our goal.
It is our goal to keep our campus safe and maintain classrooms free from disruptions. All visitors/volunteers to our campus must sign in at the office. Parents are not permitted to bring items to the classroom or a childs backpack during the school day. In the event of an emergency, messages will be relayed to students by the office staff. All other messages or items for students must be left in the office. The office staff will notify the classroom via e-mail and the child will be sent to the office at a convenient time.
Lunches should be sent with the child in the morning.
Students should go to their classroom when the first bell rings at 8:10. Any child not in the classroom by the 8:20 bell will be marked tardy. Students who arrive at school after the bell rings at 8:20 must report to the office before going to class. Excessive tardies are dealt with through the District/School Attendance and Review Board.
Satisfactory school progress is dependent upon regular attendance. The only excused absences are those resulting from illness, medical/dental appointments, court appearances, or death in the immediate family. All other absences are considered unexcused.
California state law requires verbal or written explanation as to the reason of a childs absence. The explanation should cover the date(s) the child was absent and the specific reason. Parents may call the office any time (821-8351) to leave a message. If the office does not receive the required explanation, you will receive an automated reminder call. Students absent for 5 or more consecutive days are required to bring a note from a doctor.
A parent may write a PE excuse for an ill or injured student for up to 3 days. PE excuses of 4 or more days require a note from a doctor.
Telephone Use by Students:
Students must have permission to use the telephone. Students may use the telephone when the teacher, principal or office staff feels it is necessary and appropriate. It is not advised for children to have cell phones at school. Some children have cell phones for use after school, however, cell phones may not be used during the school day. If a cell phone rings or is used by a child during the school day, the phone will be taken away and held in the office for parents to pick up. The school is not responsible if a cell phone is lost, damaged, or stolen.
Students should not bring anything of value to school. Toys, electronic devices, trading cards, are not permitted. If a child brings anything to school for a classroom activity, those belongings must be stored per the teachers instructions.
Lost and Found
Sweaters, jackets, lunch boxes, etc. should be labeled with your childs name. All found clothing and lunch boxes are saved inside the Multipurpose Room. Small items (keys, jewelry, wallets, glasses, etc.) are held in the office. Items not claimed will be donated to charity.
Make-up School Work:
Make-up schoolwork may be requested from your childs teacher by phone or email. Teachers will need time to assemble the work and will let you know when it is available for pickup.
If your child has a planned extended absence (five days of more) please contact your childs teacher in advance to arrange an Independent Study program. The school office needs to know if it appears that your childs absence will be of long duration.
Access to Classrooms after School:
Students are expected to take all necessary items with them as they leave the classroom at the end of the day. This policy is intended to develop the childs sense of responsibility as well as to secure unattended classrooms. The custodians and office staff have been instructed not to open classrooms for students and parents.
First Aid is provided during the school day for injuries and illnesses. Please instruct your child to tell a teacher about any injury that occurs on the playground or in the classroom. Parents are notified of serious injuries (such as severe sprains, fractured bones, and head injuries.) Lesser injuries are given first aid (cleaned and bandaged as appropriate) and the child is returned to the classroom.
Children who are not well in the morning should stay home. Any child with a temperature of 100 or higher, has vomited or had diarrhea within the last 24 hours, or does not feel well enough to participate in ALL school activities should stay home. Children with vomiting or a fever must stay home for 24 hours. Disease spreads very quickly in a classroom. Sick children should not be at school. If your child has been exposed to one of the highly contagious reportable diseases (strep throat, chicken pox, scarlet fever, measles, mumps, etc.) please call the office so that we may confidentially inform the parents of other children in the class.
Medications any medication taken by children during the school day must be kept in the health office and administered only by authorized office personnel. Medication must be brought to the office with a signed Physicians Recommendation for Medication form (available in the office), which states the name of the medication, the amount to be given, and the time the medication is to be administered. The medication remains in the office and the child must come to the office at the designated time(s). This includes all prescription drugs, asthma medication, inhalers, and aspirin, Tylenol, cough syrups, couch drops, etc. These guidelines also apply to all over-the-counter medications, both oral and topical (such as lotions.) Please do not send any medications to school with your child to take on his/her own. These must all be kept in the office for the safety of all the children.
Health Screenings
Hearing test are given to kindergarten, 2nd, and 5th grade students. Vision screenings are conducted for kindergarten, 3rd grade, and all new students. Yearly screenings of height and weight for 5th graders are recorded in students health folders.
Returning to School after an Illness
The Health Aide should check any child returning to school after three or more days of illness, before returning to class. A students temperature must be normal for 24 hours before returning to school.
Medical Appointments
Children will be release from school for medical, optical, or dental appointments. Please notify your childs teacher in advance. Parents picking up children during school hours must sign the Student Release Log Book in the office. Children will only be released from the office. Children may not leave school directly from the classroom.
Emergency Information
It is critical that your childs Emergency Information be accurate and the school office be notified of any change in your address or telephone numbers. Please provide the school with alternate relatives or friends to contact in event of illness or emergency. Relatives or friends listed as alternates must be aware of this responsibility and be willing to intervene should we be unable to reach you. Under no circumstances will a sick child be released without proper supervision. If both parents are away, (a business trip or vacation) the school needs to know who is responsible for your child in your absence.
Required Immunizations

For more information concerning immunizations, contact your family physician or the Los Angeles County Health Department, 300 W. Maple, Monrovia. Call (626)256-1600.
Homework is required of all Arcadia elementary students. Homework is an extension of in-class instruction, which gives children additional practice in the use of learned skills. Independent reading is valued as a life-long habit and is encouraged at all grade levels. This reading is considered an addition to assigned homework and will be monitored to motivate students to acquire a healthy reading habit. Students may be assigned specific reading tasks for book reports, research, or other content-related assignments. Some children may need to finish assignments that were not completed during the school day. Please consult your childs teacher if you have questions concerning homework or the completion of class work.
Guidelines for Homework and Home Reading
Homework Home Reading
Monday Thursday In addition to regular homework
Kindergarten Grade 1 10 min. per day 15 min. daily (reading with parent)
Grade 2 20 min. per day 20 min. daily (with to/with parent)
Grade 3 30 min. per day 20 min. daily
Grade 4 40 min. per day 20 min. daily
Grade 5 50 min. per day 30 min. daily
It is important that children are provided the proper environment in which to complete their homework. Parents are encouraged to help children, if needed, to complete assignments. Parent cooperation in checking student work before it is returned to the teacher is beneficial and appreciated.

Appropriate dress and grooming contribute to a productive learning environment. All students should come to school in clothing that is neat, clean and suitable for school activities in which they participate.
- Clothing must not present a health or safety hazard or a distraction which would interfere with the educational process.
- Footwear: regular or athletic shoes (closed heel and toe shoes.) Socks must be worn. No sandals or flipflops.
- Plain hats may be worn for sun protection, outside only.
Please put your childs name on jackets and sweaters in case they are lost. Clothes left at the end of the school year will be donated to charity.
We care deeply about the health and welfare of every child. Baldwin Stocker Food Service provides a variety of healthy, hot lunch selections each day. The lunch selections served at school must meet specific nutritional guidelines. The guidelines assure your children are eating a healthy meal that will provide the energy they need to grow, learn and play. School lunch menus are posted on the district and school's website monthly to plan whether or not children will buy or bring a lunch from home.
Students must either purchase their lunch at school through the schools cafeteria or bring a sack lunch with them in the morning. Children purchase meals using a point of sale system. Parents can deposit funds in the childs account and it will be debited as the child uses it. There are two ways to deposit money in a childs account. Please put funds in an envelope with the childs name, room number, student number, check or cash amount on the outside of the envelope and turn in to the front office. Parents can also use an online system for charging student meals from the Baldwin Stocker website www.bs.ausd.net (click on Lunch Menu)
Families experiencing financial hardship may apply for free or reduced lunches. This is a confidential program. Applications are available at the front office or online at the AUSD website under Food Services (www.ausd.net)
We believe that building responsibility in our students is an important part of the educational process. Coming to school in the morning prepared with either money to buy lunch or with a sack lunch supports building that sense of responsibility in students. Parents are asked not to bring a lunch to their children during the school day.
Having parents drop off lunches can present some problems such as student safety and security on our campus. It also creates anxiety for children who are wondering if and when their lunch will arrive. If students forget their lunch, the cafeteria will help make sure they do not go hungry.
Important guidelines about meals at school:
- Please do not bring fast food to school for your child as it violates the food guidelines set by the State for healthy meals at school.
- No gum, candy or soda.
- Children and parents may not share food with others. Many children are allergic to food or have dietary restrictions. We cannot control the safety of our children if food is shared. Also, children are encouraged to eat what was provided for them to help parents monitor their own childrens diet.
- Birthday parties are not allowed at school. Please do not bring pizza, cookies, or other foods to celebrate a birthday.
- Lunch is an important time for children to develop social skills. Its one of the few times during the day when children can talk, get to know one another, and build friendships. District adult supervision is provided, however, parents are discouraged from regularly visiting children at lunch.
Thank you for helping our staff support your childs sense of responsibility and independence.
Parents are encouraged to join the PTA (Parent Teacher Association.) Baldwin Stockers PTA activities strongly support the school. Each fall, the PTA holds an annual membership drive. Information is sent home in the Back to School Packets. On the first day of school, PTA sponsors a Welcome Back coffee to meet the PTA officers and to learn how your can further support Baldwin Stocker.
Parent Volunteers
Room parents play an important role at Baldwin Stocker. They act as hosts/hostesses for class parties and special events at school. Please contact the PTA if you would be willing to serve in this capacity.
Classroom volunteers are critical to maintaining the high quality education that Baldwin Stocker children deserve. Some parents are able to donate time during the school day, helping teachers prepared materials for class projects and lessons. Others work with students as needed by the individual teacher or help with field trips. Volunteers who work directly with children (including chaperoning field trips) must have a completed Volunteer Registration form and TB clearance. Whenever you come to school to volunteer, please sign the Volunteer log in the office and pick up your badge. For the safety of the children, this identifies you as someone who has permission to be on campus. We also need to know who is on campus in case of emergency.
Room lists/Room parties
District policy limits classroom parties to two per year: prior to Winter Holiday Break and Valentines Day. Room parents maintain a list of all the children in a classroom to be used to contact other parents for contributing to the party. These lists are never used for commercial purposes.
Classroom visitors
We try to minimize any distractions during instructional time, however, parents are welcome to visit a childs classroom during the school year. Please contact the principal in advance to arrange a convenient time for your visit. It is requested that you limit your visit to 30 minutes. You must sign in at the office and pick up your badge so that you are identified as someone who has permission to be on campus. Thank you for helping us maintain a focused learning environment.

Student Led Conferences are scheduled near the end of the first trimester. Students are expected to set goals, share examples of their work with parents, and self-assess progress. Teachers or parents can also schedule parent-teacher meetings as the need arises. Please email, call, or send a note to the teacher to arrange an appointment if there is a need for additional meeting.
Report cards are distributed at the end of each trimester.
Testing/Assessments are used to monitor student and school wide progress toward goals. Children in grades 3 5 are take the CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) each spring. Results of these tests are mailed to parents during the summer. The Arcadia School District also administers some curricular benchmark tests to monitor progress and drive instructional planning for all grade levels. Teachers use a variety of other assessment techniques during the school year.
SST (Student Success Team) meetings are held when there are concerns about a childs academic, behavioral, or social/emotional progress. A team of school based professionals meet with the teacher and parents to create an action plan to support the student. A variety of interventions and/or strategies will be discussed to help the child be successful.
Intervention instruction is offered to general education students who are identified as needing additional instruction in a specific academic area. The focus of these intervention programs vary throughout the year and by grade level.
ELD (English Language Development) instruction is provided for students whose first language is not English. According to state law, these students are tested each fall with the CELDT (California English Language Development Test) until their level of academic English proficiency is at grade level. Student who are still in the progress of acquiring English are provided instruction from Baldwin Stockers ELD program and the classroom teacher.
Library/Production Center at Baldwin Stocker provides a full selection of books and resource materials appropriate for all elementary students. Classroom teachers schedule regular visits to the Library/Production Center where children have the opportunity to browse, checkout books, do research and use the latest computer technology. The library is staffed by a library aide who maintains the inventory and acquires additional literature that supports the content that each grade level is studying. Students may also use the library/production center to take Accelerated Reader tests.
Technology is vital to the instructional program at Baldwin Stocker. The Arcadia Unified School District places a high priority on integrating technology into the curriculum. The Arcadia Education Foundation, through fund-raisers, including SCRIP sales has helped the District provide computers with Internet access for each classroom. Students are trained in the appropriate use of computers and sign Technology Student Use Contracts. Many teachers have developed classroom websites and blogs to inform families of pertinent information and/or display student work. The Library/Production Centers houses an instructional space with over 30 computers that allows teachers to conduct technology lessons to an entire class of students. Additionally, Baldwin Stocker has two mobile laptop carts that provide supplemental computers for classrooms. Teachers regularly use technology to deliver instruction. Each classroom has a document camera/projector that is used to provide even greater access to the curriculum for every Baldwin Stocker student.
Character Counts is an important focus of learning at Baldwin Stocker as we strive to develop the whole child. Throughout the year, the traits of trustworthiness, caring, fairness, respect, responsibility, and citizenship are taught in the classroom and celebrated at student assemblies. Character Counts is used in the classroom, at recess, and throughout the school day. We believe character education helps children learn life skills that will help them be successful and happy contributors to the world.
Accelerated Reader is a motivational program that encourages independent reading. The Accelerated Reader Program offers children the opportunity to earn points by reading approved books at their level and then be tested on their comprehension on the computer. Student participation and progress with Accelerated Reader is celebrated in a variety of ways.
Instrumental music is offered by the Arcadia Unified School District to students in the 4th and 5th grade. Instruction takes place during the school day. Students can take weekly lessons in a specific instrument and perform together at the end of the year.
Garden Club works in the Baldwin Stocker Garden. Children meet once a week to plant, weed, and harvest. Much of the garden consists of vegetables that the children then cook and eat. Children share in a cooperative experience of learning about the science of the garden and the art of cooking.
Student Council provides leadership opportunities for elected 4th and 5th grade students. Elections are held twice a year. Students who meet the criteria hold office for half the school year. In addition, classes elect council representatives who meet periodically to plane school wide activities. Student Council leaders help plan Character Counts assemblies.

Do you, like most people, own a home computer? Have you ever wished to take it with you and have that kind of power when you are on the go? That is the beauty of laptop computers. They offer great power, ease of use and great mobility. Continue through this article to learn some excellent advice, that will help you make a smart purchase.
You may want to look into purchasing a convertible laptop if you have considered both a tablet and a laptop. Such laptops provide the convenience of both while costing less than getting one of each.
Make sure you know how much space the laptop will have. This should be something you either read where you're buying it. Alternatively, something you ask to the person selling it. This represents how much you can store on your computer. You want to be able to have something that you can work with when you need a lot of space for things like video files.
Consider purchasing your next laptop online. You can compare brands from the convenience of your own home, by doing this. You can also compare prices from different retailers. Many online retailers do not have a mortar and brick store, and the reduced overhead this offers then is often passed on to the consumers.
Look at reviews before buying a laptop. All new laptops are enticing, but some aren't worth buying. That is why you need to see what real buyers are saying.
Really consider carefully how much your laptop will weigh. Carrying a laptop that is heavy can cause damage to your shoulders and back. Getting a lighter weight laptop doesn't automatically mean it's more expensive these days. So, by thinking it is flimsy or not as good as a heavier model, don't be put off of a buying a lighter laptop.
When looking at laptops, really consider battery power. Since this is an on-the-go machine, the amount of battery you have is very important. A laptop that only gets two to three hours of battery life may be of no real use to you if you're constantly on the road. Weigh power against battery life very carefully.
You may want a cheaper laptop, but buy as much battery life as you can afford. Prematurely running out of juice is the most common complaint about cheaper laptops. Shop for at least four hours of battery life, but try to snag a model that lasts six hours or more if possible. Look for power saving features.
When thinking about what to spend on a laptop, make sure that you include all the different accessories that you might want. If you need a case, wireless mouse or other accessory, you need to factor it in. To get a good gauge of how much you'll spend altogether, add up the price of the accessories online, even if you'll eventually buy in a retail store.
Be sure to ask what comes with your laptop, new or used. It may be slow, intended for European outlets, or too short, though for example, a new laptop may come with a charging cord. You won't be surprised when you pull it out of the box if you know what you're getting.
Check the prices at your local brick and mortar store, before buying your laptop online. Sometimes they are the same or even less, especially if you can find an open box or recently returned item. Returns are often easier at a local store since you can avoid the hassle or shipping an item back if you are not satisfied. That is another advantage.
Do you have wifi at home? If not, remember that your laptop will need an Ethernet port to connect to your modem or router. Instead purchase a new wifi router and use that to set up your home for wireless connections if you can't find a laptop you like which doesn't rely on wifi.
No one likes to be tethered to a computer at home. Also, very few mobile devices offer the kind of computing power you may need when on the go. Laptops have come a long way and can now offer everything you want from a computer and more. Take the advice you have gained here, and purchase a laptop that suits your needs.

HANOI – Vietnam's economy in 2015 grew at its fastest pace in five years, official figures showed Saturday, shaking off regional economic worries with strong exports, record foreign investment and buoyant domestic consumption.
The communist nation recorded a GDP growth rate of 6.68 percent, easily surpassing the government's 6.2 percent target with a figure that looks set to be one of Southeast Asia's strongest showings for the year.
"This growth rate is very important for the Vietnamese economy in the coming years in the context of falling world oil prices and instabilities in the international financial markets," Nguyen Bich Lam, director of the General Statistics Office, told reporters in Hanoi.
Many Asian economies have been rattled by troubles in China, where the world's second-largest economy has suffered with its worst annual growth rates in a quarter of a century.
But Vietnam has proved resistant to the slowdown inside its giant northern neighbor.
Exports rose 8.1 percent in the 12 months through December while imports climbed 12 percent.
Much of the growth has been fueled by low oil prices and a flurry of international interest with disbursed foreign investment surging 17.4 percent compared to last year with a record-high of $14.5 billion.
The strong showing is a significant jump on the last two years.
In 2014 Vietnam's GDP growth was just under 6 percent, while that of 2013 was only 5.42 percent.
On Wednesday, Vietnam released an annual inflation rate of just 0.63 percent in 2015, the lowest in 14 years.

"I was interested in expanding the range of material that I was using for my paintings to include more image-based source material. Black-themed coloring books from the seventies fascinated me because they were so clearly linked with the project of black liberation. Any depiction of a black person, from Malcolm X to a boy swinging on a tire, was a little revolution because it meant that our histories, stories, images and heroes mattered." Glenn Ligon
The famous face of Malcolm X framed behind rimmed glasses is recognized through its contours but not coloring in Glenn Ligon's painting from 2000. Rather, the controversial leader who advocated militancy in pursuit of equality for African Americans during the Civil Rights era, is presented as a clown in white face painted with blue eyeshadow, fuchsia lips and dots of red on his cheeks. Glenn Ligon's painting was produced through a set of strategies the artist has employed since the late 1980s that have established him as one of the most important of his generation: Ligon appropriates passages from a text, or in this case an image from a coloring book, and pushes the legibility of that image or text to a level of abstraction that dissolves its ability to be comprehended. Malcolm X addresses and integrates important themes in Ligon's practice, chief among them appropriation, painterliness and the politics of identity, specifically the Black experience in America. In this painting, Ligon also considers how our relationship to history and its important figures changes over time.
For this painting, Ligon worked with a set of images he found in Afrocentric coloring books from the 1970s in the Archie Givens Sr. Collection of African American Literature at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis while in residence at the Walker Art Center in 2000. Made in the immediate period after the Civil Rights movement, coloring books such as these were used to celebrate the accomplishments of the movement's leaders, Black heroes throughout American history, including Harriet Tubman and George Washington Carver, as well as Black celebrities like Isaac Hayes, to bolster a sense of pride in the school children they were given too. Speaking of his source materials, Ligon has said, "I was interested in expanding the range of material that I was using for my paintings to include more image-based source material. Black-themed coloring books from the seventies fascinated me because they were so clearly linked with the project of Black liberation. Any depiction of a Black person, from Malcolm X to a boy swinging on a tire, was a little revolution because it meant that our histories, stories, images and heroes mattered. But our relationship to all that material is quite different now and I wanted to think about that historical distance and issues of engagement and indifference. I decided to give the coloring book images to kids from three to nine years old, from all backgrounds, to color on them, then I made paintings based on their drawings. In essence, I commissioned my own source material" (G. Ligon to L. Firstenberg, "Neo-Archival and Textual Modes of Production: An Interview with Glenn Ligon," Art Journal, Spring 2001, p. 47).
Ligon found out that these heroes of the past weren't sacred idols when he gave pages from the books to schoolchildren in the Twin Cities area to color-in. Unconcerned with who they were coloring, the children responded to the task by exercising their creative license, producing results such as the one Ligon duplicated in Malcolm X. Speaking of the coloring sheets made by the schoolchildren, Ligon said, "The drawings have an innocent, unproblematic relationship to questions of race, identity, etc., because the images they are coloring on don't mean anything to the kids…Everything that comes to mind when I see an image of Malcolm X—his speeches on 125th Street, his red hair, the trip to Mecca, how handsome he was—got mixed in my head with the way the kids colored in the image" (G. Ligon, "A Conversation with Glenn Ligon," Minneapolis, 2001, p. 31). Continuing in his statement for the exhibition, he wrote, "Kids' relationship to culture, language, and identity isn't yet fixed. They haven't yet ingested all the rules and prohibitions adults have, so there is no one way that things have to be in their drawings" (G. Ligon, "Artist Statement," Minneapolis, 2000, n.p.).
In a twist on the multi-colored silkscreens Andy Warhol made of celebrity icons Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy and others, Ligon silkscreens the coloring book's image onto a canvas and used the children's interpretations as his guide for coloring his painted versions. The results were first exhibited at the Walker Art Center in Ligon's 2000 exhibition, Coloring, a title that registers in double entendre to refer to the act of coloring in the coloring books and also a commentary on race and how one's perceptions of another are altered by color. As art historian and critic Richard Meyer described, "Transferred by Ligon from crayon to paint, from coloring book to canvas, and from child to adult, [the paintings] necessarily take on new associations and effects…Rather than enacting a drag parody of Black Nationalism, the painting partakes in the pleasures and unpredictable inversions of color(ing) so as to activate the image of Malcolm X in a later historical moment" (R. Meyer, "Light It Up, or How Glenn Ligon Got Over," Artforum, May 2006, pp. 244-246).
Integrating painting with a commercially-produced coloring book, Ligon mixes high and low to revisit notions of celebrity and ideas of history as it shifts over time. As Wayne Koestenbaum deftly points out in the catalog essay accompanying the Coloring exhibition, "Iconicity is a form of makeover, a color scheme laid over a neutral surface" (W. Koestenbaum, "Color Me Glenn," Colorings, Minneapolis, 2001, p. 9). In other words, Ligon's painting of Malcolm X diffuses the iconic aura around his figure, positioning him as a structure to be "colored" in according to the needs of the moment. Ligon concurred, stating, "Each generation makes the Malcolm X they need" (G. Ligon quoted in AfroModern: Journeys Through the Black Atlantic, Liverpool, 2010, p. 78).
