We are a Bible centered
group of believers who desire to grow in the full knowledge of Jesus Christ
without compromise to His Word. We
believe, teach and practice all things that Jesus taught and
were practiced by the Church in the book of the Acts of the Apostles.
Jesus called his disciples to be salt and light. Salt is a
preservative but it is also something that adds savor and enjoyment to our
daily food. Light is a symbol of truth; it is comforting, penetrating,
guiding and exposes darkness. We seek to
preserve biblical truth and shed the glorious light of the Gospel in a world
that is consumed by darkness.

On July 17, 2014, Malaysian Airlines MH17 was shot
down in the skies over Eastern Ukraine with 298 people aboard. The
media has shown the wreckage spread out on the ground with Russian
separatists guarding it. Who did it and why? What I have been able
to piece together is not a pretty picture and reminded me of the
shooting down of the Korean Airliner KAL 007 in 1983 and how the
Soviet leadership then lied about their involvement.
When a catastrophic event takes place, the
question must always be asked as to who will benefit from the
tragedy? Was it possible that this was a diversion to cover
something else like the 1956 war in the Middle East and the
Hungarian uprising? If Russian rebels did indeed shoot down the
airliner, who told them to do it?
There is a war in the Ukraine right now and you
will learn about its background and what is at stake for the people
in the world. The war in Gaza is also still raging. The media tells
us about the PLO, Fatah and Hamas, but few people know the
background of these organizations. You will also learn about the
2011 revolution in Egypt and the aftermath. American taxpayers are
footing the bill for the latest war in Gaza and that the numbers
just keep rising.

There seems to be endless conflicts around the
world this year and startling reports came out in June about a new
terror group in the Middle East. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
(ISIS) routed four Iraqi army divisions and took thousands of square
miles of territory in northern Iraq which included major cities like
Mosul and Tikrit. How could 5,000 young radical Islamic men with no
military training defeat 60,000 Iraqi troops? The abundance of
military equipment left by the Iraqi army is now in the hands of
this small but powerful group.
Where did ISIS come from? Who is sponsoring this
terror group? Why are they so successful? In searching for answers,
it is important to understand that the Middle East and all the other
conflicts are like a chess game that is hidden from the general
public. In order to understand this latest crisis, it is necessary
to travel back in time and examine how the Ottoman Empire was
divided after World War I, how the western powers overthrew duly
elected leaders and set up puppet governments for oil. There is a
lot of hate and it's not a pretty picture but it is better to know
the truth than to believe the lies that are being propagated by the
media. Continue >>
There is so much
disinformation today when it comes to politics. Everyone has something to say
about the Ukraine protests. Who are we to believe? Barack Obama, a usurper who
does not believe in the very thing by which he condemns the Russians? Vladimir
Putin seems to be outdoing the old propaganda machine of the former Soviet
Union. We know Obama is a liar but is Putin really telling the truth or is he
planting massive amounts of disinformation in the media and on the Internet? This video will
help you understand the Ukrainian uprising and why there is so much animosity
toward the Russian government of Vladimir Putin.

The Holy Spirit woke me up early Monday morning to
show me a vision about the end times. For some time I have been
asking God to show me why He gave the great revelation to the
apostle John, which we know today as the Book of Revelation.

and Jacob were twin brothers born into a wealthy family. Esau lived
a life of rebellion as he chose to despise his birthright and marry
ungodly women. When his time on earth was almost over, he was bitter
and full of regret at the realization that he had lived for himself
and God would not forgive him. Jacob did not start out well either.
He fled after stealing Esau's birthright but he had a supernatural
encounter with God and made the decision to trust the Lord with his
Twenty years later Jacob had another supernatural
encounter as he wrestled with Jesus and would not let go until he
had been blessed. Unlike Esau, he was satisfied that he had
fulfilled the course that God had set before him. Jacob and Esau
made earthly choices that affected their eternal destiny. We don't
often think about death when we're young but it becomes more
prevalent as we grow older and our time on earth grows short. It
is a fact that ten out of ten people die. What are you doing to
prepare for eternity? Will you have a glorified body or a body of
shame? The choice is yours. Continue >>
A few months ago
my wife and I were living what I consider to be a typical lifestyle of
idolatry, listening to rock music and watching ungodly television and
movies. If we happened to have an extra glass of wine and got buzzed, it
was all in good fun. We had no idea how these practices impacted us
spiritually because we were spiritually empty.
We ended up
searching for an alternative but that led us to the realm of the New Age
and questioning the existence of Jesus. I was intrigued but there was a
subtle aftertaste of deceit because they avoided the Bible and the truth
it offers. We had almost gotten to the point of throwing away our Bibles
when the Holy Spirit gave us our final warning! My wife and I started
hearing thoughts in our heads that were not ours. These thoughts were
murderous, violent and pure evil. As a result, I found myself listening
to a radio program and heard a teaching on curses of the Bible and the
relevance of the Old Testament that led to a breakthrough in my life.

I grew up in a Southern
Baptist surrounding. My father was the associate pastor of a very large church.
I was blessed to be around all my family that attended the same church. This
church family was my foundation; however it was missing any teachings or
practice of the baptism of the Holy Ghost or deliverance. As a result, I grew up
in bondage and so did my entire family! None of us ever went through
deliverance. My father was raised by an abusive alcoholic father and I can't
imagine the horrors he went through, one of them watching his mother beaten very
badly. My mother was raised by a mother that suffered from paranoid
schizophrenia and a father that was distant and had been molesting my cousins.
I do not
have any bitterness towards the people in my life. As you read this please know
that I have forgiven everyone. If you happen to be one of these people, I don't
want you to be troubled by my testimony. I am the MOST to blame for my life and
choices. Had I been walking with the Lord, many of these events would have never
happened, but these choices have shaped and taught me many things and I wouldn't
change anything! My prayer is that everyone would be blessed with salvation,
full healing and deliverance. Continue >>
Over the years I have
preached many sermons about the Antichrist, the Great Tribulation and
the Mark of the Beast. But I have never really thought about
what it meant to live
during the time that Jesus said would
be shortened or no
person would survive. I have written nine books in
the Kabbalah series in the last
three years and laid out the road a road map
of how a world government has been shaped for
the last 300 years and the Holy Spirit began to tell me that I
was not prepared for the future despite all the knowledge I had
accumulated during the years of ministry. Few Christians had ever
entertained the thought that they might have to live through the Great
Tribulation and we need to be mentally, spiritually and physically

The FBI held a news conference on May 1, 2013 and
announced that they had arrested three more people tied to the bombing
of the Boston Marathon. It was revealed that these suspects had tried to
interfere in the investigation of the bombing and had concealed
evidence. How were these three men found by the FBI? They were tracked
down through the use of their cell phones and their Facebook, Twitter
and e-mail accounts. How much do you know about the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) and their gigantic database on every American? Are you
aware that the DHS has long term plans for you that involves loss of
liberty? That might shocking but it is better to be informed
than be locked up and stripped of your constitutional rights when you
find a DHS agent standing at your door.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me about faith
as the worship service was in progress at our church. To me it sounded
like one word, but in reality it was two words, "Prevailing Faith." In a
flash I was given the text of Galatians 6:9 that we are to reap in due
season if we do not faint. When the music was over and it was time for
me to preach, I spoke about this before I started my sermon. As I stood
in the pulpit I did not know what to say, but opened my mouth and stated
that I wanted to talk about prevailing faith.

During my
first five years as a Christian in Southern Baptist churches, I was never told
of the power Jesus gave to His disciples. The end result was that I was a victim
to sickness, depression, and worse of all, I viewed myself as a loser that was
just trying to hang on. When I was set free from demons and baptized in the Holy
Spirit, I suddenly went from a victim to being a victorious Christian. But over
the years I became like an old boat picking up barnacles and gradually began to
slow down because of the drag. You will take notice if you are loaded down with
100 lbs of barnacles all at once, but if they are put on one at a time, you may
not even be aware that they are even there until much later.

Ted Pike dropped a bombshell when he publicly
disclosed that his wife had committed suicide after a lengthy spiritual
battle. This hit home with Pastor John as he has dealt with similar
attacks from Satan over the years and knows that if you're going to
combat the devil, it is essential to know your adversary. Satan has been
defeated and sentenced to the Lake of Fire but he is still a dangerous
enemy with a sophisticated organization that is staffed by fallen
angels, devils, demons and evil spirits who have been organized
according to human nations on the earth. Every nation has a demonic
prince or archon that rules through a chain of command much like the
military. Continue >>
people in Ephesus had converted to Christ from the worship of Diana and
the apostle Paul was concerned with how the new Christians were going to
live in a decadent pagan society. The temple of Diana was one of the
seven wonders of the ancient world and it was in this setting that the
Paul spent three years organizing a church and carefully outlined the
basic doctrines of the Christian faith. He explained how God is eternal,
Jesus is the Son of God and how predestination fits into our lives. Paul
also explained how we are born into the kingdom of Satan and why we are
transferred by salvation into the kingdom of God.
Salvation is the cornerstone of Christianity and Paul
was emphatic in stating that it only comes by faith and cannot be
earned. He called for the believers to live a life worthy of their
calling and introduced many concepts that were foreign in idol worship.
Paul explained what took place at the resurrection of Jesus and how new
believers will be resurrected as well. He instructed them on how to set
up church leadership in what has been termed the five-fold ministry and
also shared God's desire for us when it comes to interaction between
family members and co-workers. Continue >>
Have you ever wondered what motivates the
people who make up the World Government? What religion do they embrace? This is
important because religion is a foundational building block behind every
political movement. It is true of Communism, Nazism and Fascism. Do you know
that all three of these violent movements have the same religion? Furthermore,
it is the same religion that inspired these Satanic movements which is also the
religion of the people in the World Government. This series of booklets uncovers the
hidden secrets of Satan's shadowy World Government from its inception,
tracing its development and what it means for us today and into the
future. Continue >>

As Christians, our most important duty is to share the
Gospel with the unsaved because hell is receiving new people every
moment! As C.T. Studd once said, "Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell;
I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell."
Later on in his life, he added, "God has
called me to go, and I will go. I will blaze the trail though my grave
may only become a stepping stone that younger men may follow."
At least 150,000 people in the world will die
everyday, almost all of them will end up in hell, and the sad part is
that they aren't even aware of it.
Just as someone shared the Gospel with you, it is up to you to share
the Gospel with someone else, their eternal soul is at stake! When we die,
we either go to heaven or hell, it's that simple.
Even as you are reading this, someone has died and
gone to hell. If you are reading this and don't know if you're saved
or not, please take the time to do so, it will be the most important
decision you will ever make!
Do you know that you have a Heavenly Father that
loves you very much? If your earthly father has never told you that he

husband has locked himself in the bathroom and is going to kill himself!"
These were the frantic words spoken by a friend named Glenda as I was ready to
enter a Southern Baptist Church on a Sunday morning in 1970 in San Rafael,
California. My heart almost stopped as I heard these words because Jim was the
worship leader in the church and a staff member at Golden Gate Baptist
Theological Seminary where I was a first year student. They were really good
friends to my wife and I and now he was going to kill himself? As a young

Robert B. Strecker practices internal medicine and gastroenterology, he
is a trained pathologist and holds a Ph.D. in pharmacology. Dr.
Strecker and his brother, Ted, were preparing a proposal for a HMO and
needed to know the long-term financial effects of insuring the
treatment of AIDS patients. The information they uncovered was so
startling and hard to believe that it would dramatically alter both
their lives and lead them on a five-year quest culminating with the
creation of The Strecker Memorandum video. This is a very strange
story, but one that must be taken seriously by the governments of
every nation in the world because the AIDS virus is lethal.

times we speak lightly of our own "cross" or "persecution," but brother Yun has
experienced unbelievable persecution, including torture and imprisonment. At the
same time he has also experienced unbelievable grace and miracles. And in a

flourishes amidst persecution. Instead of focusing on the many miracles or
experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to emphasize the character and
beauty of Jesus. Continue >>

him is in unveiling the tactics of Satan and his demonic forces. One secret to

why would God need men to lie, cheat, kill and destroy to accomplish this task?

The Bible is under attack from all sides. Satan knows it tells the truth about
him, the victory that Jesus had at the cross, and what will happen in the
future. As such, Satan has and still is making every attempt to destroy the Word
of God. What better way to do this, than to change the meaning of the Bible over
time with different bible versions; each version as it comes along claiming it is
the truth and the most accurate of all the versions up until that point.

The Fundamentals were compiled to combat the liberalism known
as "higher criticism" that was starting to blend into Christianity and
is still around today. R.A.
(Reuben Archer) Torrey was educated at the Universities in Europe and early
on in his studies was pronounced to be a "higher critic," but before
he had completed them, he was convinced of the falsity of his views
and swung gradually back to old conservative doctrines. Torrey
became a most bitter foe of liberalism the rest of his day, he was
hopelessly orthodox. The Fundamentals are the legacy of written
articles that he and others have left us.

In the DWR's latest mule deer management plan, written in 2003, they state one of the goals is to expand and improve mule deer populations. Objective No. 1 is to increase the statewide population to 320,000. Objective No. 2 is to increase buck/doe ratios.
Their strategies to meet these objectives include shortening the hunting seasons, weapon restrictions and vehicle access management.
Why doesn't their strategy include closing the hunt entirely, or closing some hunting areas? It has worked in the past. Money! $6 million is the amount of money the DWR gets just from the sale of general season deer permits. With this amount of money involved, is it any wonder why they will not close the hunt or cut the number of permits sold?
With current population virtually unchanged since this plan was put into place and current estimates around 290,000 far from the goal, isn't it time for a plan that will work?

The semi-virtue of a balanced budget
Paul Ryan's just-released budget proposal, the Path to Prosperity, would balance the budget in 2023. This would certainly be an improvement over President Bush's then-record $400 billion deficits, not to mention his successor's trillion-dollar overruns. Better still, it accomplishes this without tax increases. But we argue that Rep. Ryan has his eyes on the wrong prize.

Price was riding in a 4x4 vehicle with her boyfriend Leandro Penna when a pair of stallions jumped a fence and galloped into their path on a remote country road in Argentina.
The horses were killed while Price and Penna, who was behind the wheel, both suffered severe whiplash and cuts.
The former glamour model, who is an avid horse rider, insists she is devastated by the accident and ""lucky"" to have survived.
Price tells Britain's Daily Mirror, ""It was absolutely terrifying. It all happened in a flash and I have absolutely no idea how I wasn't badly injured.
""I feel so lucky, but more than anything, I'm just distraught about the horses. It was so upsetting.""
Price has been dating Penna since February (11) and was visiting his native Argentina to meet his parents, Mercedes and Hector.

Most state government buildings in the Magnolia State were locked up Monday morning thanks to a state law known as Confederate Memorial Day.
"Everybody thinks this holiday is something that it wasn't," said Mississippi Sons of Confederate Veterans member Jim Baker.
The holiday was designed to honor and remember the Confederate soldiers who died during the Civil War. It's observed in several Southern states and been a part of Mississippi for decades. Baker says the war wasn't just about slavery, but rather patriotism and should be honored as Mississippi's past.
"They were fighting an honorable cause. They were not rebels, they were Southern patriots," said Baker.
Not everyone feels that. In the past, the state NAACP has called the holiday an affront to the state's African American population. Folks even took to Facebook regarding whether the holiday should be observed.
"No, look at what they were actually fighting for during the war," wrote one person. "Times are different and need to change."
Mississippi lawmakers did try to make one change. During the legislative session, the House voted to make the holiday two-in-one, by making it Civil Rights Memorial Day as well. That measure never even made it out of a Senate committee.
Baker says even if that happens, it may do no good.
"What's the sense of enjoying your holiday if you got to sit around and grumble about the other folks having one to," said Baker.
Meanwhile, state government buildings will continue to be locked up as Mississippians continue to debate the state's history and whether the holiday should be locked up as well.

Should You Swallow? The Vitamins and Supplements You Really Need
5 Facts About Vitamins and Your Health
Fact: Vitamins don't cancel out bad health habits.
"There are so many different disease-causing culprits in our lives that one vitamin cannot protect against them all," says Mark Moyad, MD, a FITNESS advisory board member and the director of preventive and alternative medicine at the University of Michigan Medical Center. "Vitamins can't significantly undo the toll that risk factors like smoking, excess alcohol, air pollution, obesity, and lack of physical activity take on our health," adds Jeffrey Blumberg, PhD, the director of the Antioxidants Research Laboratory at Tufts University. In fact, research suggests that some people may be more likely to put their health on the line when taking vitamins, because they believe the pills will shield them from harm.
Fact: Megadoses are useless and possibly even harmful.
"Our bodies have individual requirements for each nutrient, and once they've been met, we don't get an additional benefit from taking more, either from food or supplements," says Alice H. Lichtenstein, the director of the Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory at Tufts. Taking too much calcium, for example, can cause kidney stones and may increase your risk for heart attacks. What's more, some vitamins and minerals rely on the same mechanisms for absorption, "so if you flood your body with one compound, you may interfere with the absorption of other nutrients," Lichtenstein says.
Fact: What you put on your plate matters most.
Supplements are not a substitute for the nutrients found in whole foods. "Many compounds in foods may work synergistically to fend off disease," Blumberg says. Spinach, for instance, is a great source of iron, but it also contains literally thousands of other nutrients; an iron supplement contains only one. As long as you're eating a varied diet, it's extremely difficult to OD on the vitamins and minerals you get from foods, but exceeding your RDA is easy when you're popping supplements.
Fact: You're already getting enough of the key nutrients you need.
More than 90 percent of Americans have the recommended levels of several essential nutrients, such as vitamins A and D and folate, in their bodies, a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found. "Many common foods that we eat -- for example, breakfast staples like cereal, milk, eggs, bread, and orange juice -- may be fortified with a variety of vitamins, including folic acid, calcium, vitamin D, and niacin," Lichtenstein says. Some foods are required by law to be fortified: Since 1998 the FDA has mandated the addition of folic acid to many grain products, like flour and pasta, to ensure that women of childbearing age maintain adequate blood folate levels to prevent neural tube defects. Plus many manufacturers voluntarily fortify foods (think eggs or peanut butter with added omega-3 fatty acids) to make them more appealing to health-conscious consumers. This practice, which results in what are called functional foods, is now a $41-billion-a-year industry.
Fact: Still, you're low in certain vitamins and minerals.
The CDC report found that women ages 20 to 39 have the lowest intake of iodine, a substance that is necessary for fetal brain development during pregnancy, and that African- and Mexican-Americans are most likely to fall short on vitamin D, which can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis, colds, and flu. In such instances, vitamins can help fill nutritional gaps. Supplements may also be a good idea if you no longer eat certain food groups because of certain dietary regimens, such as vegetarianism, or food allergies, Blumberg says.

I have an auto immune diesease... if I do not take supplements I certainly do not get what I need from my food (and I eat very clean) as my body is not capable of storing high enough levels of iron (ferratin in fact), magnesium, b vitamins and calcium. At one point I was in such a state of malapsorption that I was 100lbs and very ill.

The initial assessment of the Bayport-Blue Point School District budget process is one of caution as school leaders balance less-than-expected state aid against rising costs in healthcare and retirement.
"We're looking not to cut programs but we may have to," B-BP Superintendent Dr. Vincent Butera stated during the first budget meeting held last week.
"We have no plans to impact what this district values [in terms of educational programming]," he told the board of education during the hour-long financial presentation.
Butera acknowledged some reductions may be needed to close the gap between revenue and expenditures as the district will adhere to the state mandated 2 percent tax cap levy requirement.
School leaders will be discussing possible reductions, identifying the costs that are significantly impacting the budget and assessing educational priorities in upcoming weeks.
"There will be some reductions but we're working to make sure they are not significant," Butera emphasized during the presentation.
The budget creation involves several variables, explained Michael Cipriani, assistant superintendent for finance and operations, including the need to develop a sustainable financial plan for the next three to five years. The planning requires decisions regarding fund balance reserves, projecting state aid and dealing with unexpected increases in costs such as special education and transportation. Those two budget lines, he noted during the presentation, increased unexpectedly by nearly $700,000 this year.
The initial budget proposal is $66,611,921 which reflects a 2.9 percent increase over the current school budget of $64,733,505.
Nearly 90 percent of that increase is due to compensation costs including salaries, benefits and retirement. It also reflects a $335,236 decline in state aid, according to district officials. Last year the district received $15,753,223 in basic state aid. This year the projection is for $15,417,987. The proposed budget retains the same fund balance from last year, $2.3 million.
Cipriani said the fund balance strategy is conservative due to unknowns such as the impact of the federal healthcare act as well as increasing contributions to the state retirement system.
The initial proposed tax cap levy would be 3.5 percent as it includes increased pension costs that are four to five percent higher than last year, said Cirpriani. State law exempts such costs when calculating the 2 percent tax cap figure.
During the budget presentation school officials urged taxpayers to begin lobbying state lawmakers to boost the state's initial proposed aid packages, specifically restoring the $400,000 the district is losing in high tax aid.
"This is having a significant effect on us and all Long Island districts and we hope a portion is restored," said Cipriani.
There are three more budget hearings scheduled and taxpayers are urged to attend, said Butera. The meetings will be held at the high school cafeteria, from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., on January 30, February 12 and February 28.

I use this to my advantage.
1. A competing trash service sent me a flier offering the same service at about 60% of the price I was paying. The current service matched the price for 1 year. Even if they're not making a dime on me they're dividing their fuel cost one more way.
2. Last month I called Time Warner and told them I wanted them to match the introductory price of competing internet service (~75% of regular price for 1 year). They did. This is the second time I've had my price lowered to an introductory rate without being a new customer.
When these prices run out I'll call again and get the rate lowered again. Or I'll cancel and go to the competitor. Either way, these add up to about $360 saved this year for two 15-minute phone calls. Pretty good $/hr.

At researcher Richard Ingersoll's Ivy League university, there's no undergraduate degree in education.
"Very few undergrads at Penn want to do it," said the University of Pennsylvania professor of education and sociology who once taught at the University of Georgia. "Most want to do law, medicine, business, or veterinary school."
A former high school teacher turned academic, Ingersoll has more than a passing interest in whether students choose teaching careers. He is one of the nation's foremost experts on teacher turnover, and he fears that one-sided accountability measures drive good people out of the profession and deter promising candidates from entering it.
He cites the misinformation on the shortage of math and science teachers. In a given year, the United States produces four times as many new math and science teachers as leave the classroom due to retirements, Ingersoll said.
So, while he applauds President Obama's plan to add 100,000 new science and math teachers over a decade, Ingersoll said, "We lose 25,000 math and science teachers each year." Of that number, he said only 7,000 are due to retirement. He does not believe that incentives — performance pay or bonuses — are enough of a carrot to reverse the trend.
As two recent studies suggest, paying teachers bonuses doesn't appear to lead to higher student achievement. Yes, teachers would love a $1,500 performance bonus for meeting targets, but a new RAND study out of New York and a National Center on Performance Incentives at Vanderbilt University last year out of Nashville both found that many teachers are already pedaling as fast as they can under new accountability systems and the bonuses appear to have no impact on student achievement.
"We tested the most basic and foundational question related to performance incentives — does bonus pay alone improve student outcomes? — and we found that it does not," said Matthew Springer, executive director of the National Center on Performance Incentives.
The RAND study was commissioned by New York City, which wanted to find out if $56 million in performance bonuses to school staffs over the last three years improved student performance. The finding: No improvement.
What teachers want most, Ingersoll said, is to be regarded as professionals and valued for their judgment, their intellect and their ability to think on their feet and problem-solve.
On scales of motivation, teachers and nurses are the highest for wanting to do good with their lives rather than earn a lot of money.
As one teacher noted here on the blog, "We not only buy school supplies for students (pencils, paper, etc.), but we also must buy classroom supplies (white board markers, copy paper, etc.). Can you just imagine if employees of Coca-Cola were asked to purchase their own copy paper and pens and paper clips?"
Ingersoll understands the common-sense appeal of merit pay and performance bonuses, and why Obama and U.S. education Secretary Arne Duncan are such proponents. As a young high school teacher, it annoyed him that his colleague in the next classroom read the newspaper all day while he was up until midnight each night preparing lessons. "Yet, he was making more than me because he had been there longer," he said.
"We all know that some teachers are better than others, and there do seem to be some teachers who are not working very hard. Then, we find out they are all being paid the same," he said. The problem is that we haven't devised a good way to fairly and objectively judge the most effective teachers and separate out what a teacher brings to the student performance equation.
Ingersoll hoped that the new science of value-added measures — using student growth as measured by tests to analyze how much a teacher advanced the learning of each individual student — would offer a reliable yardstick. But he is wary now because of the rising doubts of statisticians about the reliability of value-added data and studies showing that a large proportion of teachers who rate highly one year tumble to the bottom the next.
"That raises a real monkey wrench in our belief that a good teacher is a good teacher and a bad teacher is a bad teacher when you have that drop from the top quintile to the bottom in one year," he said.
("Some of my fellow professors are very zealous about value-added measures," added Ingersoll, "until I say 'What about using it for us in higher education?' Then, there is ominous silence in the room." )
Ingersoll sees greater potential in Denver's performance pay system, crafted by teachers and administrators, that incorporates 10 weights to assess success, such as pursuing professional development, working in a high-needs school, receiving a glowing evaluation and raising test scores.
But Ingersoll said no performance pay system can work if we don't address the deprofessionalization of teaching, citing his own research that teachers in virtually all states report less of a role in decisions about textbooks, content and grading —all of which are integral to their jobs and for which they ought to be consulted.
"The whole accountability regime tends to be a top-down thing that hasn't included teachers. It violates basic management principles — you can't hold employees responsible for things that they don't have any control over or don't have the tools to do," he said.
"If you give people autonomy and tools and don't hold them accountable, then you get corruption," said Ingersoll. "If you hold them accountable and don't give them autonomy and tools, then you drive employees out — the best ones first."

My younger daughter would be a great high school science/math teacher. However, she has no interest in the disrespect teachers incur, both from their supervisors, the students, and the parents. Too bad she could probably never find a teaching situation that would allow her to excite her students about math and physics, but provide the perogatives a professional expects/requires. Math/science people have other options where they WILL be treated professionally.

Yup….he's got that right. I've moved on even though I loved teaching science. Can't stomach it any longer after watching my engineer husband being treated like a professional. He can't believe the stories I would come home with. And now ….out of teaching and won't go back.

Smart young people don't want to become teachers, because they realize that teachers have a great deal of responsibility without any authority or ability to make changes that would positively effect the quality of education that the children in front of them receive. I don't blame them, it's why I left teaching, and won't go back under the current circumstances of teachers being held accountable for all learning and administrators, students, and parents are accountable for little or nothing.

Good, sensible article. I concur. We lose good teachers due to mismanagement and a ridiculous work environment, where good people are held accountable for things beyond their control despite their best efforts. And it does unfortunately lead to corruption. Because no one is holding the administrators, parents, and students accountable to do their part.

My daughter, a college senior, has wanted to be an elementary grades teacher since she was 5. She has worked for after-school programs where she (on her own) brought in materials for science and art lessons, so I believe she would be a good one.
However, she has not taken any education courses in college, instead majoring in counseling psychology and sociology. Her plan is to immediately go into Montessori training when she graduates, and enter the teaching profession that way – she says she doesn't want to have to contend with the documentation and disrespect she has seen teachers have to put up with in public school. She has had a chance to observe private school teachers at length and has seen the difference in how they are treated – as professionals.

Passed on by a colleague and follows the same lines: http://www.salon.com/news/david_sirota/2011/07/18/tony_wagner_finland
"Not the highest paid, but the most highly esteemed. Only one out of every 10 people who apply to become teachers will ultimately make it to the classroom. The consequence has been that Finland's performance on international assessments, called PISA, have consistently outranked every other western country, and really there are only a handful of eastern countries that are educating with the same results."
"There is no domestic testing except a very quiet auditing program to test demographic samples of kids; not for accountability, not for public consumption, and not for comparison across schools. The fascinating thing is that because they have created such a high level of professionalism, they can trust their teachers. Their motto is "Trust Through Professionalism." The difference between the highest performing school in Finland and the lowest performing school in Finland is less than four percent, and that's without any testing at all."

It's not just Math/Science.
Several years ago , we at our middle school were so excited when an AJC reporter decided she wanted to teach [ Language Arts ] and was assigned to our school.
She was a lovely person and enthusiastic and tireless teacher and colleague. However, she only lasted 'til Christmas .
The teachers on her team tried to help keep her afloat, but said she was just overwhelmed with the disrespect from both students and administration, by all the busy paperwork, as well as the expectation by the system that if a student was not achieving, it was her fault.

This general disrespect for public school teachers, the "deprofessionalization of teaching," can readily be seen by reading the blogs of the last week or so here on "Get Schooled." As I've read their posts, it's seemed that all teachers (not just those of the APS) were fair game for some who seem to have had REALLY bad experiences in school…many of them apparently still in school. It became painful to read, esp. when some educators were riled enough to try to reason in long replying posts.
So far, THIS thread has been supportive of educators, but I am just waiting for the first nasty jerk who has a bad job without security or retirement possibilities to start the mud-bath.

3:28 pm
tim, I am not sure when your years ago was, but when I was young (1950s) one of the differences was behavior problems were handled. If children were out of control, they were removed from school. Kids were given the opportunity to show they could "cut it" academically, and if they were too "low," they went to special schools or they stayed home and learned whatever their parents could teach them. Teachers were respected as professionals.
What has happened in the intervening years is that the work of schools has expanded by the hundreds of "missions." Teachers cannot teach because they are trying to fulfill all these other expectations.
July 22nd, 2011
3:29 pm
Our problem is you have always had to put an adult in front of those kids…if they are qualified or not. Now people need work and our attitude of putting "anyone who will take the job" has caught up to us. I have always laughed at people who want to fire teachers. Let them find others who will do it. And don't tell me "They only work blah blah blah for XXXXX a year." No one wanted to pay teachers more when the economy was great.

it's the micromanaging that doesn't work! evaluating teachers on how they may have 'increased the knowledge' of these particular students? wow, anyone who knows anything about stats will tell you how flawed that is.
in addition – you can't force kids to learn. okay – there are some – a very tiny tiny number – of teachers who can, but most can't. you can't force kids to do much of anything, especially when the parents don't care…

We all know who the good teachers are. The students, the parents, the teachers and the principals all know who they are. They are not necessarily the "easy A" or the friendliest. Seems to me there should be a bonus each year that is distributed based on "goodness". Maybe a committee (principal, lead teacher, throw in a few other folks)determines who gets what. Yes, it you get on the wrong side of some folks, you don't get the bonus. Same as the real world. You get on the wrong side of folks, you go somewhere else to work, same as the real world.

there is a HUGE difference between the US and finland. part of the issues here is that we are a LARGE country. we have a VERY diverse population.
and we can't be mandating education from our federal govt. it doesn't work.
it would be nice to have federal standards. then leave the states/localities to figure out how to do it. don't give out money on the federal level (makes NO sense). and give out ideas and standards,and maybe some ideas for how – but let teachers do the how. LESS micromanaging…it doesn't work (did i say that already?).

So, if the US produces 4*7000=28000 math and science teachers and lose 25000 each year, it sounds to me like we are gaining 3000 each year.
How many TOTAL do we need because I'm not seeing the crisis with these numbers?

Here are some words for consideration:
Double. A hard-core STEM type will likely earn double what a teacher makes.
Half. That non-teaching job that they go to? Half as hard as being a teacher, almost certainly with fewer hours to work than first year teachers do.
Professional. In the above, unnamed STEM job that isn't teaching, even novices will be nurtured and treated with respect. As they gain experience, they will be treated, and compensated, like respected professionals.
And one number to consider: 44. As of this writing, that's how many mathematics openings there are posted at TeachGeorgia.org. School starts in what, 2 or 3 weeks?
So, the current math/science teacher shortage? Get used to it. It was here 10 years ago, and it will be prevalent 10 years from now.
The intersection of people who
have the STEM content knowledge
can master the classroom management
will accept the administration abuse
will settle for lousy pay
will continue to be a very small set.

Isn't the use of scripted teaching materials like America's Choice products the perfect example of "deprofessionalism?" These seem to suppress all creativity and I can't imagine a teacher being forced to use them will become an inspired teacher. And this translates into bored students.

We have inefficient/expensive top heavy administrations that grind out more administrative work for teachers who have less autonomy, and we have teacher unions who protect the lazy and unqualified. Students are not punished enough for being disrespectful, and coddling uninvolved parents gum up the works. The good teachers we see are islands in the churning sea of mediocrity.

I wanted to teach Math and coach. I graduated and realized that even with a coaching supplement I would make more than twice as much as a computer programmer. Multiply that over a 30+ year career and I didn't see much of a choice, and yes, I could do the math.
Over my career I met many people that made similar choices. Even if I was disrepected on the job, the money was better and I could change jobs at will. My bosses either treated me right or I moved on to the next job.
I respect teachers for what they do, and I believe this article points to a major issue with our system. Another is the insistence by some to have purely objective measures for teachers. This rarely works in industry, but my teaching friends used to demand it because they believed the administration was out to get them. Now that they have an objective (but false) measure, they are certain our elected officials are out to get them.

That's what drove my wife out of teaching (a professional hire, with degree from Tech and many years in business/technology). Each semester, her classes would fill up with students whose parents asked that they be moved into her class… and the bad teachers got lighter workload, while making more money. That is one of the top 3 dis-incentives for keeping good teachers, and must be solved.

I don't buy the 'blame it on the union' crap. I have managed union shops and due process shops with dozens of professionals. It was easy to get rid of the non-performers. It was also easy to identify them.
The real issue is when management doesn't do the job because they are not competent to manage. They may have been good in staff positions but now they're Peter Principled. The good employees leave because they can and they don't feel appreciated. The bad employees stay because they can't find another job anyway. Productivity goes down because there's no one competent left to do the work.
Sorry I can't stay longer but I need to finish writing my staff reviews and I like to keep my weekends free. .

yes, hungary, finland, all sorts of countries are doing well in the education department (people from all over the world still come here, for the time being, for college, though).
ALL of those countries have a well defined population, and there's also a reason they are not the superpowers (today, at least).
They have a homogeneous population. They have a homogeneous culture. they have homogeneous ideals and mores. We in the US do not. We have vastly different cultures all over the country. THAT is why state's rights makes A LOT of sense. Each state has a VERY different population (i mean, you can *say* that north carolina and GA are the 'same' because we are both in the south, but we are VERY different states, with very different cultures, actually).
So – unless you want a china like education system – and government – we ARE NOT like another country in the world. And so our education system can't be compared to others (same with any other 'system' we have, health care, how we deal with child care, how we deal with oh, almost ANYTHING).

Several illusions here to "going elsewhere." Unfortunately, in education that may be harder than in other jobs. If you're in a smaller town, there will be fewer opportunities to move. (Quite possibly you will be in the only middle or high school.) In our larger metro system, for example, you may only apply for a transfer after two years at a school. If your principal needs you – even if you are miserable – they can effectively blackball you and you won't be able to move. No win situation, and another one of the reasons almost half of teachers leave within 5 years…
Do you notice how many people have already – directly or indirectly – referenced poor administrators? MAJOR problem – and I don't see how in the world this new evaluation system is going to work in some schools where administration is weak, weak, weak…

and therein lies the problem – or much of it – is salary. double the salaries of the teachers. and fire 1/2 the administrators. simple. easy peasy.

Maybe, 'atlmom', but shouldn't respect for teachers be universal — cutting across all ethnic and economic divisions? At one time in this country's history we sought and adopted the best that every assimilating culture had to offer. That's what made us great. Today, on the other hand, we allow our standards to be lowered to the worst that each has to offer. That shift in attitude has led to our decline into mediocrity.
It's painful to witness.

butler: oh, I'm in total and complete agreement with you. We teach our children to listen to the teacher. period. they are an adult, and they are their teacher, and that is that. there is no 'oh, no dear, you poor thing, the teacher wasn't nice to you today?' not in my house.
I totally and completely agree with you. Part of the issue, in my opinion is that we don't pay the teachers much. we actually encourage the teachers not to teach, partially because we pay administrators so much. so people would prefer those jobs given the salaries (i almost wrote: the best and brightest go there, but judging from the comments here, that isn't the case).
It's a terrible issue. i mean, seriously – some people only teach and put their 20 years in – then get a crazy generous pension for however many years afterwards. it's really absurd…if you would just pay teachers most of that money then you'd be better off…but we don't.
And again, if you paid more, you'd get better teachers, but only for so long. we hear about the horrible conditions teachers endure. and one would only endure that for so long before going back to industry, from what i understand. if we let teachers teach – they would be happier, and they would do a better job.
It's such a mess.
and, the education system is just a symptom of a whole lot of other things in our society. but it's glaring.

One question comes to mind, why does there even need to be an undergraduate in education particularly for high school level math and science teachers. Having very good content knowledge with more confidence on the material, how to extend the classroom standards into day to day life/current research and applications is invaluable in instilling the classroom with a positive atmosphere. The nuts and bolts of pedagogy can be taught after there is real content knowledge. The problem with the weakest teachers in math in science is that they know pedagogy but only have a weak understanding of the content they are asked to teach. They do not stretch themselves and consequently their students to go beyond the minimum.
As for the bonus pay incentives. The study was looking at student test outcomes ( again a standard not without some very obvious problems in terms of reliable indicators) but how does bonus pay for math and science help KEEP teachers in the classroom. Teacher retention is a serious problem and math and science teachers arguably have skill sets that are more marketable outside the classroom than a history or English teacher.
I think all teachers need to be treated with greater respect.
July 22nd, 2011

If a young person asked my advice about pursuing a teaching career, I would say don't do it. I once thought about becoming a science teacher but decided I could not take the administative nightmares. Accountability with no authority! You have to get your students to learn the material, but you can't make them even show up for class. If they are disruptive, you send them to the principal's office, and he/she sends them right back to your classroom. I di end up teaching adult education for a while and loved it and was told I was a good teacher, but I will never teach in a public school setting.

Absolutely true–bonuses do not work!!! However, when an individual in Georgia holds several Masters degrees and/or a Specialist or doctorate–respect and being treated as a professional is key. Why are teachers still signing-in when they attend meetings? Can you imagine this occurring in the world of business? Why are teachers held responsible, according to No Child Left Behind, as to the attendance of a child. Isn't that the responsibility of parents.? And, please don't get me started on the subject of parents…where are they? They only visit the school when their child is failing or going into some form of suspension. RESPECT!!! That is what will keep educators in the classroom with a salary that is equivalent to the real world. and their high level education. Respect Our Educators!!!

I meant allusion – but guess it's also illusion in a way…
@atlmom – granted one with math/science might likely work elsewhere, but recruitment and retention of STEM teachers is the issue, right? And private schools are often much less attractive in salary and (especially) benefits, particularly private schools other than the very elite.
And as for administrators, many of them are either burned out or never intended to spend any more time than the minimum in the classroom anyway. Effectiveness varies WIDELY. Case in point:
My nephew taught middle school science for two years. Great feedback in year one; moved to a different grade in year 2. No observations entire first semester of year 2; assume no problems, correct?. Second semester of year 2, as budget cuts approached, admin came in his classroom twice in quick succession. Principal sent him a message on a Friday near lunch to come to his office between classes. Told him he had until 4pm to turn in his resignation or his file would show a non-renewal, which was a "negative." (They were cutting one subject teacher at each grade level, but a resignation would mean they didn't have unemployment claims.)
When he went back at 4 to resign (he rescinded that on Monday after getting other information), the principal told him he should have used more worksheets in his classes (rather than the hands-on activities he'd done).
Nephew took a year off, thinking he'd never teach again. (Planning to go to PA school.) Then he met a girl….and realized he needed to have a real salary and save some money for PA degree. So he went back to teaching middle school science. In his new school (also Title 1), his admin has already had people from county office come in to see what he's doing with his classes with technology. (Second is a much larger school system, too.)
Luckily, he went back (if only for a few more years). Many don't – and often it's because of these &*%_* administrators who will keep the sorry teachers who don't make waves…

This article has many valid points, and many of you know what this is all about. There are many factors involve in the success of a teacher. What makes a great teacher? One administrator may consider a teacher good, but another adminstrator may see problems with the teacher. One year a teacher may have a great class, test scores are good, and the next year she may have a class that's not up to par. Are we going to expect the same results from the previous year? Is it fair to base the pay on those results? Do we accuse the teacher who taught them the year before? These are some of the issues that will occur with performance pay. It seems that some adminstrators have teachers they like better than others.
One of the fairest ways to have performance pay is to test the students the very first day they step into a classroom. Have the results back within a reasonable period. Allow teachers to teach according to the strengths and weaknesses of the students, which is meeting each students need individually. Test them near the end of the school year and look at growth. Then, we need to documents which students have had conflicts within the year, such as death of love one, sickness, divorce etc. Doesn't that make sense? There too many issues teachers have to deal.

Now we have switched to administrator bashing. Guess what. Many teachers who are held accountable for poor performance immediately begin pointing fingers at their evaluators. Some teachers refuse to accept responsibility for their own performance and work habits and refuse to improve. These individuals need to be removed.
Georgia will be creating a teacher induction program in the next few years. If properly implemented this has the potential to improve working conditions, and in turn, student achievement.

The single most important profession in the United States and look how it's treated! This is so wrong! Poor teachers should certainly be aided or terminated, but as a rule it's not the poor teachers who are leaving teaching so readily. The ones who stay are the ones who endure the buffets and blows of all those who blame the classroom teacher for everything. This is ridiculous. Is anyone anywhere listening? or is it simply going to be true that nobody on the outside of education really cares? It's time for teachers to stand up for themselves and their students and not kow-tow to anymore ridiculous mandates! We who teach still believe we can make a difference. We need to be allowed to do just that!

@ tim,
where and when? I don't think there has ever been a time in this country when 98% of students passed… Too many politicians think like you and come up with the NCLB.

Advanced Technology
U of S Linear Accelerator
A $1.75-million, 80-foot linear accelerator (linac) was officially opened in 1964 at the U of S. The opening was attended by 75 visiting scientists from around the world, with lectures and papers presented over a period of several days. The electron accelerator tube was designed to create energy six times that of the university's betatron.
The Linac served the campus research community for three decades until it was repurposed as an electron source for the Canadian Light Source synchrotron.
U of S Professor a Nobel Laureate for Physics Work
Dr. Gerhard Herzberg, a U of S professor in 1935-45, was the first Canadian to win a Nobel Prize in either chemistry or physics. While at the U of S he authored two books - Atomic Spectra and Atomic Structure in 1937, and Molecular Structure in 1939 - that were considered the most authoritative treatises on spectroscopy.
Leaders in Space
The Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies (ISAS), founded in 1957 by Professor Balfour Currie, was the first U of S institute of S and the first "space and atmospheric science" institute in Canada. Many prominent scientists have had their beginnings in ISAS, and gone on to become leaders of space science in Canada and elsewhere: ie. P.A. Forsyth, D.M. Hunten, A.Vallence Jones, and G.G. Shepherd.
ISAS has also been the hub for industrial/high-technology growth: the Space Engineering Division began in ISAS (Professor Alex Kavadas), became a University Corporation, and is now SED Systems (a Division of Calian Ltd); and SciTec (which was transformed to Kipp & Zonen Inc.) and SIL (Scientific Instrumentation Ltd) spun-off from SED. There have been other subsequent spin-offs.
In 1998, SED Systems was awarded the largest contract ever to a Canadian company by the European Space Commission. SED was contracted to build a 35-metre deep-space antenna in Australia at a cost of $23 million. The antenna was needed for the ESA's ROSETTA program, in which a spacecraft launched in 2004 is sending back data and will eventually rendezvous in nine years with the comet Wirtanen. In 2003, SED was awarded a $33-million contract to build another 35-metre antenna in Spain to support ROSETTA and other projects. SED is headquartered in Saskatoon and had its beginnings in 1965 as a division of the Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies at the U of S. It is now privately held as a division of Calian Ltd.
With more than 40 scientific and administrative staff, ISAS now provides Canadian and International leadership for research and education opportunities in space and atmospheric environmental research and space weather and climate change studies, using ground-based radar and space-based satellite systems. These systems are designed and developed in-house (its parent department is now the department of physics and engineering physics) and also within Canadian industry, with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) as government partner.
U of S Experiment First Canadian One in Space Shuttle
An experiment of biochemist Louis Delbaere, to study protein crystallization in space, was the first Canadian one aboard a space shuttle. Delbaere's experiment was selected for NASA's Discovery shuttle in 1990; he later had other experiments in space including a 1992 experiment aboard the Russian space station Mir. Delbaere's work in biochemistry has yielded numerous advances - especially notable was a 1994 discovery in anti-cancer drug therapy. Delbaere's team identified a receptor site where trifluoperazine, an anti-cancer drug, binds to a key protein found in all cells, but has a much lower toxic effect on normal cells.
Canada's First Tokamak
In 1995, U of S Physicist Akira Hirose was presented with the university's Distinguished Researcher Award in recognition of his contributions to the field of plasma physics. At the U of S in the 1980s he constructed Canada's first 'tokamak' (doughnut-shaped) fusion device. Its purpose is to advance research toward the attainment of nuclear fusion, the process that fuels the sun and other stars. His 1992 theory for anomalous electron thermal conductivity in tokamak reactors and his prediction of two new instabilities in tokamak magnetic geometry were major steps in understanding the problems in achieving fusion.
Groundbreaking Computer Software Tool Developed
In 1975, Winfried Grassmann developed a software tool which was the first to implement a method called "uniformization in queueing applications." The technique, subsequently published by Grassmann in 1977, has come to be used commonly throughout the world in scheduling and optimization applications. It is embedded in dozens of software applications in wide use today (such as airline scheduling, telephone switching, scheduling initiatives to minimize waiting times in stores, etc.) and has become the primary method used to model information traffic on the internet.
Another related invention by Grassmann in 1985, known as the GTH-method Grassmann/Taksar/Heyman method) offers more precise modelling capability and is frequently used in optimization and modelling applications where greater accuracy is required.

The logo on a new Starbucks is seen across the street from the building, left, which once housed the Triple O's bar in the South Boston neighborhood of Boston, Thursday, June 6, 2013. Four decades after Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger first rose to power, "Southie" is not what it used to be. The once blue-collar, Irish-Catholic neighborhood, is now an ethnic melting pot that has been invaded by young urban professionals who have gentrified the area and smoothed out its once-rough edges. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)
BOSTON (AP) — As reputed gangster James "Whitey" Bulger goes on trial, his former stomping grounds in South Boston are sure to be the backdrop for much of the testimony.
It was here that authorities say Bulger ran a criminal enterprise responsible for illegal gambling, loansharking, extortion and the deaths of 19 people in the 1970s and '80s.
Four decades after Bulger first rose to power, South Boston is no longer the neighborhood of Bulger's heyday. This once blue-collar, Irish-Catholic stronghold is now an ethnic melting pot that has been invaded by young urban professionals, pricey condominiums and upscale coffee shops.
"Southie," as it's been called by generations of natives, is now called "Sobo" by young hipsters who live there.
"It's not my neighborhood anymore. It's New Yorkish," said Scott Clark, a 47-year-old plumber who is a lifelong resident of South Boston. "It's just not what I'm used to."
Jury selection in Bulger's racketeering trial is scheduled to continue Monday. Opening statements are expected Wednesday. Bulger fled Boston in 1994 and remained one of the nation's most wanted fugitives until he was captured with his girlfriend in Santa Monica, Calif., in 2011.
Bulger and countless other South Boston natives grew up in housing projects that were among the oldest public housing projects in the country. The area was known for its double- and triple-deckers where generations of working-class families lived together.
Now, the neighborhood is dotted with expensive condominiums snapped up by professionals who are attracted to its waterfront district and its proximity to downtown Boston. Some people who grew up in South Boston can no longer afford to live here.
"The liberals came in and started to buy real estate. They realized how beautiful it is and they started throwing money at it," said Jamie Donnellan, 41, an electrician who lives in South Boston.
Billy O'Brien, whose father, William O'Brien, is one of the men authorities allege was killed by Bulger and his gang, says while he was growing up, groups of kids would play street hockey or hang around together on street corners every night. Now, he said, he rarely sees kids outside, and spontaneous street games have been replaced by organized kickball or Frisbee leagues.
"The yuppies have invaded. It's totally overrun by yuppies," said O'Brien, 40, a lifelong resident.
"I got nothing against them, but back then you knew the people when you were walking down the street. I don't know anyone anymore," he said.
Many of the Irish pubs that used to dot the neighborhood have been replaced by fancier bars.
"Ya got yah wine drink-ahs now," O'Brien said, in a perfect South Boston accent.
"Don't get me wrong, I hit those places every now and then, but for the most part it's not the town I grew up in. It's so different."
Many of Bulger's old haunts are unrecognizable.
Triple O's, a hole-in-the-wall bar where Bulger allegedly collected unpaid loans, is now a sushi bar. Across the street is a Starbucks.
Stippo's Liquor Mart, a store that prosecutors accuse Bulger of taking from owners Stephen and Julie Rakes at gunpoint, allegedly became Bulger's new office in 1984. Since then, the liquor store has changed hands several times. It's now called Kippy's Wine & Spirits.
"South Boston was a great place to live for a long time," Stephen Rakes said. "As soon as property values went up, people started leaving and new people started coming in."
In the '70s, Bulger was considered by some to be a kind of benevolent tough guy. He was known to give Thanksgiving turkeys to his neighbors and help old ladies cross the street.
But Bulger's image, like the neighborhood itself, has undergone a transformation.
Once his former lieutenant, Kevin Weeks, led authorities to a half dozen bodies, Bulger was no longer seen as a harmless hoodlum.
"There are still people in this town who still say he was a gentleman," Rakes said. "But there aren't too many of them left."
