Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: The Sriracha Lover's Ultimate Gift Pack
Mixed with Ranch dressing!!!
Just love food...
Mixed with Ranch dressing!!!
carmason... Thanks... I'll be sure to pick up about 20 of them...
@jjedd63 - I think you are 100% correct!!!
SS is absolutely safe for the oven.
I sear meats in my All Clad Pots & Pans and transfer them from the stove top to the oven all the time with no problems at all.
I have a Cutting Board Gallery (formerly Ozark West) Walnut, end grain board, and I use mineral oil on it once a month.
After I have let the mineral oil set for about 15 minutes, I wipe off the excess, then apply a wood conditioner, let that set for another 15 minutes, then wipe off with a clean paper towell.
After you have done this process, your board will be well conditioned, and fast as lightning...
Here is a link for the wood conditioner. https://cuttingboardgallery.com/store/products.asp?cat=12
I do enjoy watching her show... However, after watching how whe cooks, its no big suprise...
Great White Northern's!!!!
Could use some garlic...
My wife will no longer eat Chili Cheese Fritos because she swears one time she found a cricket leg in a bag...
I on the other had will still down half a bag in one sitting...
I love my Ozark West board. Its an end grain Black Walnut board, that I've had for about 4 years now. I had a Boos board, but had to return it two weeks after I got it (it split).
Must always have, Garlic powder, Onion powder, Curry powder, Cumin and Penzy's taco seasoning!!!!
Poached so soft I can consume them through a straw!!! Mmmmmm!!!!!!
Great!!! Thanks for the tips/links!!!!
I shall make the dough tomorrow, for pizza on Saturday!!!
@redfish... I second that!!!!!
Syrup, in Cherry Creek is also a good place to get a delicious breakfast, or an open faced burger for lunch.
I use my cast iron pan for most anything and most everything. Spaghetti sauce, to T-Bones, potato pancakes, to corn bread. It is my workhorse in my kitchen. My grill pan...... Not so much.........
I tend to stay away from buffets. For some reason I feel I have to eat till I cant move...
I own 4 Shun knives (3 Shun Classic & 1 Ken Onion) and 1 Wusthof knife.
I have to say I wasted $200.00 on the Ken Onion Multi Chef's knife. It was an impulse buy, and I rarely use it. Now for my Shun Classic's... I use them almost daily. They feel great in my hand, and they are scary sharp!!!
I also love my 6" Wusthof Chef's knife.
As with any high end knives, if you take care of them (NO DISHWASHER), they will last a lifetime.
Paula!!! RR gets on my last nerve!!!!!!!!
50 lbs. of BACON!!!!!
We bought a GE Profile Dual Fuel double oven a little over a year ago.
We LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!
@bitchinfixins, the way I clean my wood cutting board after cutting up a bunch of onions, garlic, etc... I sprinkle the board with a healthy ammount of coarse salt, then scrub the board with a half of a lemon.
Works really good!!!
Make Mauldashers.
Alright... I'm not that weird, I promise. My shameful snack is as follows.
1 Hot Dog bun slathered with a healthy ammount of Mayo.
2 - 3 Slices of well done bacon
1 Hand full of Nacho Cheese Doritos
Lay bacon strips on Mayo slathered hot dog bun then evenly stack doritos on top of bacon, close hot dog bun and firmly press to break up Doritos.
Also try the thin bagles with light cream cheese. Great breakfast and only about 160 calories (depending on how mych cream cheese you shmear on). :)
Leaving for Jamaica in a couple of days. We are staying at a resort in Rose Hall, however we plan on going into town for at least one afternoon. Are there any indigenous foods I should make a point of trying?
For Christmas I got $175.00 worth of William-Sonoma gift cards.
I already have a few pieces of All Clad pots and pans, and I have several Wusthuf and Shun knives.
I am having a difficult time deciding on what to add to my kitchen...
Any suggestions?
I should probably apologize in advance, since I'm sure this topic has been covered before...
Can anyone offer a pizza dough recipe that is not too difficult???
I am planning on making three pies, and would love to get a recipe that has the US measurements for three batches of dough.
I've got a serious hankering for some authentic homemade Fajitas. Only one problem.... Ive never made them... Should I grill, or cook in cast iron??? Should I marinade, or dry rub???
Can anyone help???
Shun, Wusthof, Global... Whats your preferred knife?
It is bitter cold here in Denver, and I've got a hankering for some good Green Chili to warm my bones.
Only one problem... I dont have a very good recipe...
Can anyone help???
Can anyone share with me, or direct me to an authentic Vietnamese Noodle Salad (Bun) Recipe?
I will be the first to admit that I'm not the best cook, however, I thoroughly enjoy cooking and will attempt to cook almost anything. I have tried to cook pot roast 5 times and it never comes out worth a darn. I've seared it, then put it in the oven, cooked it in a bag, crokpot and in a pot on the stovetop, and it always comes out dry... What the heck am I doing wrong???
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to chop like a pro?
I have the high end knives (Shun & Wusthof) and the high end cutting board (Ozark West). But for some reason even after I purchased the tools, the talent has yet to show up...
The classic Thai dish of ground chicken and basil, with chili, fish sauce, and a touch of sugar is quick and simple to prepare. More

(AP) MEDFORD, Mass. - Family and friends are saying goodbye to Krystle Campbell, one of the three people killed in the bombing at the Boston Marathon finish line.
A wake for Campbell is being held Sunday at a funeral home in Medford. That's where the 29-year-old restaurant manager was raised and graduated from high school in 2001. A private funeral is scheduled for Monday at St. Joseph Church.
Eight-year-old Martin Richard of Boston's Dorchester neighborhood and 23-year-old Lu Lingzi, a Boston University graduate student from China, also died in the attacks Monday. BU is holding a memorial service for Lu on Monday.

"[Apache] says a lot of words about why they want to do it. Exactly why is it critical to have a delta between our source licence and the source licence that they think is appropriate?" said James Gosling, Java creator and Sun vice president.
"I understand why they would like it to be different. From our point of view that would actually be more destructive than helpful. It boils down to forking: they believe that the ability to fork is an absolutely critical right."
Apache have replied that they do not aim to fork Java, and that the open source J2SE implementation can be taken and ported and used in a diverse number of applications and situations.

This gets us to the plot with Sue Ellen. I gasped when she poured herself a drink, but I'm so glad they only sent us to the edge there.
Given the number of times the old show relied on Sue Ellen starting to drink again, I wouldn't be surprised if Linda Gray had had it added to her contract that Sue Ellen not start drinking again on the new show.
I really like the way JR is going out - he admits to being a bastard, and he's there to help his son, but at the same time, he's much more of antihero now - coming to Sue Ellen's rescue and telling her how proud he is of her now. That's not something the old JR would have done. I really hope that when he goes out he'll have done something really good for them all for a change while at the same time twisting a knife in somebody's back - preferably Judith Light, just for tickles and grins.
Yeah, it was nice seeing him do the stand-up thing. That it was for Sue Ellen's sake was even better.
Oh, and I see they are going to pit the boys' secretaries at each other. That's an old trick from the original series' playbook. Cool!
Not necessarily. J.R. had Sly cozy up with Cliff midway through the series as source for Cliff to get J.R.'s inside disinformation. By the end of the series though, Cliff was a partner at Ewing Oil, and all the established secretaries - Sly, Phyllis, Jackie, and Kendall worked together. Though, I do know there was some drama with Julie, J.R.'s first secretary (and mistress) on the show... but I don't remember much about that plot line.

Miesha "Cupcake" Tate bio, stats, quotes and more!
Name: Miesha Tate
Nickname: Cupcake (Current), Takedown
Height: 5'6″
Primary Weightclass: Bantamweight
Fighting out of: Team Alpha Male, Yakima, Washington
Fights for: UFC, formerly StrikeForce
Selected Miesha Tate Quote: "Becoming a champion means more to me than anything—more than a rematch, more than anything. That's something that when I'm 80 years old someday and I have kids and grandkids I can look back and say, 'Look, this is what I did. This is my accomplishment.' So that's my ultimate goal. "
Trivia: Miesha Tate possibly had a less difficult time breaking into women's mixed martial arts than anyone – she was already experienced in playing on the boys team. Cupcake started her career in high school with her own gender team issues: there was no girl's team, so Miesha wrestled on the boys team.
Achievements: Tate is a Strikeforce Bantamweight Championship holder, and a silver medalist in grappling. In addition to that, she has won Female MMA Fighter of the Year and Female Bantamweight of the Year for 2010. In 2011, she won the Fighter of the Year again, this time along with Submission of the Year. She is stacked with wrestling awards from her high school efforts: In 2007, she won the WIAA All State, and the WIAA Girls High School State Championship.
Miesha Tate Bio: Most people know who Miesha Tate is – she's been around in female MMA fighting since 2007. She debuted in a HookNShoot competition, winning against Jan Finney, but lost later in the night to Kaitlin Young, who went on to win the tournament. Cupcake went on to win six more fights before losing by decision to Sarah Kaufman, the last of which would earn her the FCF Bantamweight Championship. It was the first time that Sarah, a former Strikeforce Bantamweight Championship herself, would need a decision to end a match.
So how did Tate come by the Strikeforce Bantamweight Championship? She fought Marloes Coenen after Coenen snagged the title from Kaufman in July 2011. Originally Marloes held the title in the welterweight division, but while trying to hammer out the women's weight class, Strikeforce folded the welterweight class into the bantamweight, forcing Miesha into the titlematch. She later lost the title ship to Rowdy Ronda and Ronda carried it until the promotion folded into the UFC.
Tate officially joined the UFC in February 2013 and faced Cat Zingano, the winner of which would earn a title shot against Rousey later on in the year. Miesha lost the match, but the two women were the first women to receive fight of the night honors in the UFC.
If you're looking for an effective way to shed pounds while having fun, like some of our favorite female MMA fighters have to do before a fight, check out our Flirty Girl Fitness review here.

Part 2: Accelerate Past Your Competition By Improving How You Qualify Job Orders.

Key learning experiences include:
•How to establish yourself as an equal peer with your client (& why this is so critical)?
•How you can change the playing field (change the client requirement)?
•How to eliminate latency and avoid a stalled sales cycle?

How Do You Attract The Best Young Talent into Careers With an Image Problem?
Ian Glover, President of CREST
Jul 13 2015
47 mins
While most parents would be delighted if their offspring wanted to become an accountant, lawyer or even an actuary, they may be less encouraging if their son or daughter said they wanted to be a hacker. This is the negative manifestation of working in the cyber security industry that is often portrayed in the media. The reality is very different, with careers in cyber security providing fantastic opportunities that are hugely varied, really challenging and help to do good for society.
Structured career paths provide an opportunity to progress quickly with jobs in large audit and accountancy firms through to small specialist boutique start-ups, as well as the chance for international work and creating new businesses. In addition, the whole industry is very diverse and is looking for people with a very wide range of talents.
The problem is how do we communicate this to people who may be interested in the industry? Just as important for young people, how do we get to the influencers; their parents and their careers advisors to understand what an exciting place the cyber security industry is to work in and what they can expect in terms of the types of company they could work for and their salary expectations.
The problem can be partially solved through education, information and support from businesses working together with a consistent message designed to encourage the very best people into the industry.
In this presentation, Ian Glover from CREST will look at the challenges of attracting the brightest young people into careers that traditionally have an image problem and providing a strong career path once they are in. In particular, he will focus on the importance of properly-run internships and Government funded initiatives to educate and inform.

The Consumer Mind-Set of Talented People: What This Means for HR
Professor Nick Kemsley, non-Executive Director, Head Light and Co-director of the Centre for HR Excellence, Henley Business S
Jul 9 2015
41 mins
In times of increasing employee choice and the 'portfolio career', does HR think about the talent in our organisations as consumers just as our marketing teams would view our customers and clients? Recent research by the Henley Business School suggests not.

The Generation Game
Russell Beck, Head of Consulting, Impellam
Jul 8 2015
61 mins
We are approaching a time when your business will have to manage the needs and behaviours of four different generations all at once. And make no mistake, each generation behaves very differently.
A multi-generational workplace is inevitably a complicated one. People of different ages typically have different perspectives on the world. They disagree on the most fundamental issues. They dress differently, eat differently and travel differently. And more pertinently, they work differently.
Using the latest research, insights and opinions available, Russell Beck, Impellam's Head of Consulting, examines the challenges inherent within a multi-generational workforce.
He'll be focusing on the three generations that are currently the most abundant at work; Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y.
Please join us for this thought provoking and engaging webinar.

After the extremely wet spring we faced no one would have ever thought that with the 4th of July just around the corner we would be in need of rain as badly as we are. Although we are not in as bad of shape as Florida or west Texas, misused and unattended fireworks could have devastating consequences.
The following steps will help to keep you and your land safe this fourth of July weekend:
1. Avoid mixing fireworks with alcohol or drugs. It's a celebratory occasion, and its easy to forget that mixing alcohol and fireworks is never a good idea.

Oklahoma is leading the way by being the first state in the nation to offer a Pancreatic Cancer Awareness/Funding license plate. It will be available by November 1, 2011. No other state in the nation has such a license plate.
It is a fund-raising license plate for the OU Foundation Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, dedicated to the continuing research for early diagnosis and treatment and hopefully a cure of Pancreatic Cancer.
Most Oklahoman's don't know we have research in Oklahoma for, early diagnosis, treatment and cure for Pancreatic Cancer.

Keeping stuff going for the Mentoring Program this summer is a big deal with kids being out of school and the Little Dixie Community Action Agency's Passport to the Future Mentoring Program has big plans.

First it was longtime Republican Rep. Bill Young. But I don't think any political observer would be able to guess who would be the next Republican to consider a quicker timeline in Afghanistan:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday that the United States should reconsider all its options in Afghanistan — including withdrawing more quickly than the current plan.
McCain, the chief congressional critic of President Obama's plan to remove all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by 2014, said Wednesday that the 2014 timeline to transfer security control to the Afghans should be completely re-evaluated in response to a spike in "insider attacks" and the suspension of most joint operations in the country.
He told reporters that the United States should contemplate keeping a larger force in Afghanistan past 2014, but should also consider removing troops earlier.
"I think all options ought to be considered, including whether we have to just withdraw early, rather than have a continued bloodletting that won't succeed," McCain said.
Obviously, this isn't a complete shift to opposition to the war. But it does indicate that the insider attacks are far more serious than the Administration is making them out to be. McCain has his own sources at the Pentagon and in Afghanistan, no doubt. And his usual answer to any setback in war involves more troops for more years – "maybe 100." And while he broaches the possibility of more troops here, he also gives strong consideration to just bugging out.
Of course, McCain blames the Obama strategy for this turn of events. But training Afghan forces would have been part of any war fighting strategy he would have come up with as President. Presumably he would still have had army bases like Camp Bastion, which was struck by a Taliban attack last Saturday in an incident McCain compared to the Tet offensive. I doubt McCain would have set a date certain for transfer of security to the Afghans – McCain favored a long-term presence in the country as recently as this year – but unless his plan was to ship all Afghan security forces out of the country, they would have remained in close proximity to the troops, meaning that the insider attacks would have had the opportunity to occur.
I don't really care why McCain holds his current views. Maybe it's rank partisanship. Maybe he just wants to tag the operation as another Obama failure. Whatever. If he thinks we should consider a faster timetable for withdrawal, I'm happy to have him on that side of the fence.

i read the news today, oh boy
I have a question for you, my dear readers, in particular those of you who've ever endured being laid off, as I was.
First, let me explain: every time I hear the name of my former employer, a near-Pavlovian response compels me to mutter "those fuckers." I've thought about trying to rein it in, but like I said, I believe it may be a Pavlovian response. So if you ring a bell I'll salivate, but mention Startup-dot-org and I'll mutter "those fuckers." The latest example was just this morning when I received an explanation of benefits in the mail from my dental insurance. On the EOB there was the usual dental insurance jazz with "policy number 02134-yadda-yadda" and then "group name: Startup." As I read that out of my mouth came "those fuckers."
So, dear readers, my question is this: does this ever go away?
I feel like every week I peel away another layer in the onion that is my grief right now. And this week I am feeling quite aware that I was worked half to death last year and as soon as my 2010 projects were done, I was terminated. How is that supposed to make me feel? Used? Useless? Some combination thereof? Mostly, it makes me both very sad and very angry.
Those fuckers.

Also reported by Greg Toppo, Jack Gillum and Jodi Upton of USA Today.
An investigation of school standardized testing in Ohio, five other states and the District of Columbia has uncovered hundreds of suspicious patterns, including extreme increases and declines in year-to-year scores for entire classes and grade levels.
A USA Today analysis of standardized tests scores of tens of millions of students found at least 1,610 cases in which public school classes - a school's entire fifth grade, for example - boasted what analysts say are statistically improbable gains on state tests. There were another 317 examples of equally large, year-to-year declines in entire grades' scores.
These test score anomalies surfaced in Ohio, Washington, D.C., Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida and Michigan. For each state, the newspaper obtained three to seven years' worth of scores.
The paper and its news media partners also collected dozens of public records about state and school district investigations into allegations of testing violations by teachers and other educators.
Ohio schools and districts investigated at least 87 cases of testing violations involving educators between 2005 and 2008, according to state documents, and at least 47 more in 2009 and 2010.
"This means there was potential for educator wrongdoing," said Patrick Gallaway, Ohio's education department spokesman.
In Greater Cincinnati, at least 25 documented cases of alleged educator testing misconduct or violations occurred since 2002. Teachers were accused of everything from using test questions on study guides to telling students to correct incorrect answers to copying student response on multiple tests.
In 20 of those cases, school staffers were punished or students had to retake exams.
But the test score patterns signal that there may be more cases.
The analysis of Ohio's test scores for grades 3-8 from 2005 through 2008 shows unusual spikes in grade level scores at an average of 87 schools per year. During that span, 18 schools in Greater Cincinnati show such patterns.
USA Today's investigation of test scores used a methodology widely recognized by mathematicians, psychometricians and testing companies. It compared year-to-year changes in test scores and singled out grades within schools for which gains were three standard deviations or more from the average statewide gain on that test.
In layman's language, that means the students in that grade showed greater improvement than about 99.8 percent of their classmates statewide. The higher the standard deviation, the rarer - and, analysts say, the more suspect - that improvement is.
In dozens of cases, USA Today found five, six and even seven standard deviations, making those gains extremely improbable.
Large year-to-year jumps in test scores by an entire grade should raise red flags, especially if scores drop in later grades, said Brian Jacob, director of the Center on Local, State and Urban Policy at the University of Michigan. Such fluctuations by themselves do not prove there was cheating, but Jacob says they offer "a reasonable way to identify suspicious things" that should be investigated.
Education reformers say a surge in scores is possible without cheating. Mike Feinberg, the Houston-based founder of KIPP, a 99-school chain of charter schools widely recognized for raising test scores, said "remarkable growth" is possible with "great teaching and more of it." Where you have "just an amazing teacher who can motivate his kids to really work hard," classes can see gains that might seem "unbelievable" at first glance.
Others are more skeptical.
"An individual student can exceed beyond their wildest dreams in any given year, but when a whole group shifts its position dramatically, you have to worry," said John Fremer, president of Caveon Test Security, a Utah firm hired by states and school districts to investigate test irregularities.
A charter school in Cincinnati's Riverside neighborhood showed such wild swings in test scores.
In 2006, Riverside Academy's fourth-graders' math scores shot up from the bottom fifth in the state to the top fifth, higher than 87 percent of their peers in Ohio. The next year, as fifth-graders, the class scores plunged to the 19th percentile in math.
A second group of Riverside students did the same thing the following year. They were among the worst in the state, in the 12th percentile in third-grade math in 2006, before they jumped to near the top as fourth-graders, in the 96th percentile in 2007. Then, the next year, they slumped back down toward the bottom.
Riverside Academy's former superintendent, Roger Conners, said a group of longtime teachers helped his fourth-graders master the school's special curriculum, but when those students reached fifth grade, they had inexperienced teachers and parents who pulled out some students, resulting in huge slides in scores.
Riverside did not cheat, he said.
"When we were doing testing, I was out and about, monitoring it," Conners said. "I never saw a thing out of the ordinary or unusual."
Conners left Riverside in 2009 to start his own charter schools in other Cincinnati neighborhoods.
Thomas Haladyna, a professor emeritus at Arizona State University who investigates cheating, said large test gains for an entire grade are "so incredible that you have to ask yourself, how can this be real?" It is so rare for a whole classroom or grade to score among the worst in the state one year and then among the best the following year that it would be like finding "a weight-loss clinic where you lose 100 pounds a day," he said.
Improvement seen as cause for celebration, not investigation
USA Today found that even the most dramatic test improvements - kids scoring in the bottom 5 percent statewide one year, then in the top 5 percent the next - are causes for celebration.
That's because of the increasingly high stakes attached to the tests required under the federal No Child Left Behind law.
While most local school districts retain the power to hire and fire teachers, 10 states now require that student scores be the main criterion in teacher evaluations.
Some districts reward educators for raising scores; a teacher may earn a bonus of as much as much as $25,000 in Washington, D.C., if his or her students' scores climb. NCLB also puts principals' jobs on the line if students' scores don't improve. Most of the 130 Detroit public schools closed since 2005 were cited for having low test scores.
The Obama administration has begun doling out extra money to states that tie teacher evaluations to test scores. At the same time, NCLB's harshest penalties for underachieving schools and teachers are about to kick in: By 2014, the law dictates, 100 percent of public school children must to be proficient in math and reading. If not, a school can face replacement of its entire staff.
Given the mounting pressure on teachers, principals and superintendents to produce high scores, "no one has incentives to vigorously pursue" testing irregularities, says Gregory Cizek, a professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill who studies cheating. "In fact, there's a strong disincentive."
Fremer, the Caveon official, said the idea of investigating high scores seems ridiculous to most educators. "Scores are going up? Good. Scores are going down? Bad. And you want me to investigate when scores are going up? What's the matter with you?"
Investigations are time-consuming and expensive.
John Boivin, administrator of California's standardized testing program, said his state once conducted random test audits at 150 to 200 schools a year. But California dropped the audits two years ago because of budget deficits. And the state no longer collects data on which schools show unusually high rates of erasures on answer sheets, often a clue that either students or school officials might be cheating. Total savings: $105,000 a year.
Even when suspicious scores are investigated, it can be hard to identify a culprit unless someone confesses. Ed Roeber, head of Michigan's testing program for nearly 20 years, said evidence of cheating is almost always circumstantial.
"It's very difficult to prove," Roeber said. "Often what you end up with is the feeling that something might have happened but I don't know for sure and, even if I did, I couldn't prove it in a court of law."
Cizek said the notion that all U.S. students can be proficient by 2014 is unrealistic - and ups the ante for teachers.
"There will always be students, for diverse reasons, who don't achieve some prescribed level of performance," he said. "The failure to recognize this has led to setting very low standards for proficiency and to outright cheating."
Schools credit teachers for remarkable gains
School officials often attribute big improvements in scores to brilliant teaching, curriculum changes tailored to the tests, more emphasis on basics such as math and reading or other innovations. For example:
In Pico Rivera, Calif., a Los Angeles suburb, students at Montebello Gardens Elementary School jumped from the 17th percentile statewide in second-grade math in 2005 to the 85th percentile in third-grade a year later. Similarly, second-graders scored in the 40th percentile in math in 2007, then jumped as third-graders to the 93rd percentile in 2008. In both cases, the gains were lost the following year.
"I can look at my faculty and I know unequivocally they are following the directions in a moral, ethical manner," said Norma Perez, the school principal. "We will never, ever have anyone from the state question, 'How is it that you did well?' We did it because we earned it." She attributes the school's success to "optimism and hard work" and a team of "incredibly dedicated teachers."
In Colorado, third-graders at Aragon Elementary School in the Fountain-Fort Carson School District scored in the 31st percentile on the state math exam in 2005. A year later, Aragon's fourth-graders achieved at the 97th percentile in math, showing greater improvement than any other group of students in the state. The next year, Aragon fifth-graders dropped to the 47th percentile in math. David Roudebush, the district's assistant superintendent, said the district recognized the spike as "a statistical anomaly" but said no "real conclusions can be drawn due to multiple factors that can affect results."
In Phoenix, seventh-graders at Friendly House Academia del Pueblo, a K-8 charter school where nearly all students qualify for federally subsidized lunches, showed remarkable gains in math in 2009. Their scores soared from the 15th percentile in sixth grade to the 92nd percentile in seventh. Principal Ximena Doyle attributes the seventh-graders' gains mainly to a math teacher who has since moved on to another school.
The achievements at Friendly House didn't entirely hold up the next year. The students' mean scale scores dropped from 586 to 419 in 2010, when they were eighth-graders. The percentage of students who passed the state math test also fell, from 88 percent to 43 percent. Friendly House's seventh-grade math gains were 5.77 standard deviations, a change so rare that it could happen by chance less than once in 100 million times.
Given that most students have fairly stable scores from one year to the next, standard deviations of 3 or more are so unusual that Cizek, the testing specialist in North Carolina, likens gains on that scale to "a miracle in a bottle."
Cizek said even the most powerful curriculum changes or educational interventions produce gains of only a quarter or half a standard deviation. "None of our educational interventions - none - produce 3 standard deviation gains," he said. "We've never seen that."
If educators believe they can produce such dramatic gains, "they should be selling that, they should be taking it on the road," he added. "They should be doing anything they can to get the word out, because we've never seen anything like that."
Because year-to-year swings in a classroom's test scores reveal only part of a complicated picture, state or district investigators usually look for other data, especially the scores of individual students, to make sure the students tested in one grade were the same who were tested the year before. An influx of new students, whether caused by changing school boundary lines or the construction of a new housing development, could cause some changes in scores.
For that reason, USA Today used open records laws to secure the test scores of millions of individual students from Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Arizona and Washington, D.C., then analyzed them to determine long-term trends for those individuals. Because of privacy laws, the states encrypted the information, assigning to each student an ID number that could not be traced to the actual student but allowed the newspaper to track the student's test scores through the years.
In some cases, where there was little if any turnover, the individual student data reinforced the notion that exceptionally large score gains were statistically rare.
That was the case at Portsmouth West Elementary School in southern Ohio, a school that had long ranked near the bottom of the state in test scores. Then a few years ago, its fourth-graders began scoring with the state's elite.
In 2007, third-grade math scores at the school ranked in the 21st percentile among the state's 1,961 schools. In 2008, when those students were in fourth grade, scores soared to the 94th percentile statewide - only to drop again in the fifth grade a year later.
Patricia Ciraso, superintendent of the Washington-Nile School District, attributes the scores at Portsmouth West, the district's only elementary school, to "a combination of things." She said the school started grouping fourth-graders based on ability - top students together, for example - and added an intervention specialist to address academic problems early.
"We did not cheat," Ciraso said.
In 2008, Portsmouth West's fourth-graders outperformed their counterparts at every other school in the county and nearly every affluent district in Ohio. They did better, for example, than fourth-graders at Indian Hill, which had an average family income of $278,432 in 2008, according to tax records, and perpetually ranks near the top in academic performance in Ohio.
By contrast, the average income in Portsmouth West's school district was $39,820 in 2008. Ciraso and her staff examined individual test scores after being contacted by USA Today, and she acknowledged some oddities that she said need to be reviewed further. So far, there has been no outside investigation.
From Arizona, California and Florida, USA Today obtained testing "incident reports" about irregular occurrences on test day, such as improper coaching by classroom teachers, one of the most common forms of cheating.
In California alone, about 112 such incidents were investigated by school districts and the results were reported to the state during the past two years.
When suspicions arise, accountability uncommon
The reluctance to investigate jumps in scores is especially marked at schools that have been struggling to meet the requirements of NCLB.
That was the case at Duval Elementary School in Gainesville, Fla., where math scores in the fifth grade rose sharply year after year. In 2005, the school's fourth-graders finished near the bottom of the state, in the 5th percentile. The next year, as fifth-graders, they scored in 79th percentile. Duval fifth-grade classes repeated the feat the next two years, and, by 2007, they were testing in the 91st percentile.
Then, in 2008, Duval's test scores took a nosedive. Math scores as well as reading scores crashed, and the fifth-graders finished in the 1st percentile, at the very bottom. The school overall dropped on state rankings from an "A" school - among the best in the state - to an "F" school.
Only then did the state step in, but not to investigate the possibility of cheating. Instead, the state sent education specialists to help the school get back on track.
Sandy Hollinger, a deputy superintendent of the Alachua County school district, attributes the drop in Duval's scores to the sudden death of a beloved math teacher and the district's failure to screen adequately for kids who needed extra help in reading. Hollinger said the moves were unrelated to the test scores and that the gains were real.
After nearly two years of state intervention, the school has improved its grade from an "F" to a "D."
When cheating is proven, often no one is held accountable.
At Mount Pleasant Standard Based Middle School, a Tampa charter school, state statisticians in 2006 invalidated virtually all of the school's reading tests - about 100 - after an analysis showed a suspicious number of erasures. Principal Yolonda Waitress said investigators interviewed a few teachers - mostly to make sure that everyone had signed a security agreement.
The district initially had ruled there was no cheating, but reversed itself after the state concluded that "evidence indicates that the test books were most likely tampered with ... following student testing."
That finding would seem to suggest school officials, either teachers or administrators, were responsible. Both the state and district told the school to turn over teachers' names for possible discipline, but no one was disciplined, Waitress said.
On its website, the school now boasts that in 2010 it made adequate yearly progress and was given an "A" grade. The district, however, administers tests for the school.
As for the events of 2006, district investigator John Hilderbrand concluded in an e-mail obtained by USA Today that "something stranged (sic) happened" then. He did not say what or who did it.
