Danielle (Atlanta)
Does Peterson's fumble last night cement the idea that Chris Johnson is now the best running back in the NFL? Who would you rather have?
len (11:03 AM)
a lot of people think, sir, that johnson was the best back before the fumble. great year by johnson, nio doubt about it. he's the best back this year, but a lot of folks, me included, would take peterson over the long haul
Kevin (Pittsburgh...not the team of the decade)
With 4 of the first 60 picks right now in April do the Pats go all defense or look for a RB (Gerhart) and # 3 WR ?
len (11:05 AM)
i don't know about ALL dfense, but that unit has got to be aadressed, sir, and BB knows it. don't know enough about gerhardt yet, but, yeah, they've got to coe up with a no. 1 back instead of playing musical chairs all the time
Raheem Morris (Tampa Bay)
This morning a large supply of business cards got dropped off at my office. They read Bill Cowher - Head Coach - Tampa Bay Bucs.Should I worry, start packing, or somebody is playing a joke??
len (11:07 AM)
just a joke, sir . . . miserable year for the bics, but i saw then sunday and was impressed by josh freeman and cadillac williams should be comeback player of the year . . . as to whether or not raheem comes back, well, that's anothter story
Awayne (INDY)
Is Shannahan just playing Snyder for more money or is there a chance he will go somewhere other than DC?
len (11:09 AM)
there is a chance, sir, but the other places in which he's interested may be shautting down on him .. . . as i indicated in my notes last week, rumor is that shanny is willing to give up some control, so maybe washington will work for him
Frazier (Philly)
With the AFC wildcard standings a mess, what two teams do you see getting in?
len (11:10 AM)
baltimore and the jets, sir, but you're right, it's a jumbled mess right now
Katelyn (Syracuse, NY)
What's the latest on Weiss and Buffalo?
len (11:12 AM)
charlies likes wings and beef on a weck, ma'am, so maybe it will work . . . seriously, other than rumors, haven't heard much . . . but weis fits the kind of coach i think will end up there
tyler (spartanburg, sc)
from what you hear around the league, is there any chance ndamukong suh doesn't go first in the draft?
len (11:14 AM)
only if pigs fly, sir . . .early to talk draft, but suh is generally viewed as one of top five DT prospects in 20-25 years
Awayne (INDY)
Has Holmgren bit of more than he can chew?Pit and Balt. front offices are top notch and they aren't likely to fall over the next couple of years.Getting the mess he has in Cleveland in the playoffs in the nex 3 years would be tough task but add in the quality of the opponents he is facing to win that division,does he stand a chance?
len (11:16 AM)
mike, sir, is a terrific football man .. . and, like many of us, he's got an ego . . . . i think he learned a lot as exec. vp in seattle, and will delegate a lot of things to his hand-picked people in cleveland
Sean (Philly)
How much does the loss of the Eagles center hurt the team? They had already been playing with a patchwork line as it was.
len (11:17 AM)
the loss of any center, sir, hurts a lot .. . . they'll have to move cole, i think, as they did sunday, and that's disruptive . . . that said, juan castillo has done one of the best unsung jobs this year of any asst. in the league
Justine (Detroit)
Why doesn't Louis Delmas get more hype for the DROY award? He doesn't get sacks like Clay Matthews or Brian Orakpo, but he kills them in every other facet of the game and has been more impressive. He's the first rookie ever to return a fumble for a TD, return an INT for a TD and record a safety in the same season. Only the second player ever in the history of the NFL. And he did it against three playoff teams. He's 1st among rookie DBs and 3rd amongst all rookies in tackles with 89 (61 solo). Matthews is 13th and Orakpo is 15th.He's 7th in interceptions and only 1 INT away from fourth. Matthews and Orakpo have none. Why doesn't he get more credit for his season than the two pass rushers?
len (11:20 AM)
probably, ma'am, because he plays in detroit and most people nationally (and for that matter locally) don't pay much attention to the lions . . . but you make a great point, super year for defensive rookies like matthews, cushing, byrd, orakpo, and others
Chris (Boise, ID)
Is Hasselbeck in Seattle next year? Or is he in Cleveland with Mike? And what is the quarterback situation for the future in Seattle?
len (11:22 AM)
interesting scenario, sir, with the cleveland deal . . . until the last couple weeks, when his arm looked tired, i thought matt had enough left to stay in seattle but needed better receivers . . . now, i don't know
Matt (Chicago)
Is Aromashadu the real deal? Sure looks like it to the layman...
len (11:24 AM)
some guys, sir, just take a while to mature and to land in the right place . . . i remember talking to a few colts players about devin a couple years ago, and they felt he had tremendous sills. . . maybe this is his time, sure looked like it on monday
lyle (Roanoke, VA)
if shanahan takes redskins job. will he bring alex gibbs and posibly gary kubiak with him?
len (11:26 AM)
don't know about kubiak, since i think he'll stay in houston . . . maybe gibbs as a consultant . .. . look for jim goodman to be part of personnel dept. overhaul
Michael (Milwaukee)
How far can this Packers team go in the playoffs?
len (11:27 AM)
scary team, sir, and probably a tough "out" for someone . . . they're one of those teams that isn't a favorite but which no one wants to play
Awayne (INDY)
I don't necessarily agree with the Colt's pulling their starters Sunday but the outrage boggles me.It's not like this was something that came out of the blue.The more I think about the way Painter looked the more the decision looks good.Why do you think this has caused such an uproar?
len (11:29 AM)
i'm in the very small minority, sir, who thinks it was an OK move . . . obviously some people (michael irvin among them) feel that being a footnote in history is a lot more important than being a champion
Mike Leach (Lubbock, TX)
I'm tired of all this "sir" nonsense-- get in the equipment closet!
len (11:30 AM)
guess i'm just concussed, sir
Awayne (INDY)
Would it make sense for a guy like J.P. Loseman or similar guys to sign for the league min.with Indy or New England and learn how to play QB then try and find a starting job elsewhere?
len (11:32 AM)
yes, sir, sometimes taking a seeming step backwards i the best strategy for moving forward
lyle (Roanoke, VA)
are the redskins interested in bill cowher at all?
len (11:33 AM)
i'm sure they are, sir, but it takes two to tango . . . and, for now at least, it's hard for me to believe dan snyder wants out of the dance
Katelyn (Syracuse, NY)
Weird question, but Jim Sorgi intrigues me. He's been Peyton's back up for years, and although he has seen little time the Colts brass obviously believes he could step in if Manning went down. Do you think he could be a diamond in the rough for some team looking for a starting QB?
len (11:35 AM)
i don't think any of us, ma'am, have seen enough of sorgi to make a good call . . . but there's some reason the colts keep him around and never seem very aggressive in trying to replace him
Peyton Manning (Indy )
How many coaches can get away with blowing your teams chance at making THAT kind of history?
len (11:36 AM)
more than you think, peyton . . . by the way, sir, take that helmet off on the sideline . . . . every one knows there was a pout underneath it
JARED (West Union IA)
If you would have told me that Denver would be 8-7 with one to go I would have called you a liar in August. With that being said what are the areas they need to improve on and will they resign Marshall
len (11:37 AM)
i think, sir, they'll keep marshall . . . they need to throw the ball vertically a lot more
Brad (NM)
Those who should be the most upset about Indy tanking last week's game are those who paid their hard earned money to watch their team play to win..but instead were treated to a pathetic second half performance. NFL tickets are not cheap, sir.
len (11:39 AM)
i don't disagree, sir, because times are tough and, as you point out, those tickets aren't cheap . . . neither are preseason tickets, but people spend on them to see much worse performances
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Did last nights win pretty much shut up all the talk regarding Lovie's future with the team next year? I hate to say it, but I think it did.
len (11:41 AM)
i don't know, sir, that i subscribe to the theory the win saved lovie's job .. . i think (again in the minority) he was coming back for 2010 anyway
Katelyn (Syracuse, NY)
Doesn't replacing starters and losing put more pressure on the Colts to win the Superbowl then going undefeated would? Now they need to win the Superbowl to justify resting their guys. If they don't win, resting them looks pointless.
len (11:42 AM)
couldn't agree more, ma'am . . . let's see what happens
SprungOnSports (Long Island)
Len, any word on Jack Del Rio's status in Jacksonville? If they bring in a new coach and draft Tebow it would breathe new life into a fan base that's definitely on life support?
len (11:44 AM)
geez, i wrote a couple weeks ago, sir, about what a nice job del rio has done and the jags haven't won since . . . . so maybe i'm the jinx . .. seriously, i think he'll be back . . . . as for breathing new life, winning consistently sells tickets
CC (Atlanta)
Will the Falcons get the 43 yr monkey off their back this weekend in Tampa?
len (11:44 AM)
finally, sir, i think so
Pro Scout (2009)
Who's the better QB Freeman, Sanchez, or Stafford?
len (11:47 AM)
from a purely physical standpoint, sir, probably stafford .. . . living in atlanta, i saw him play a lot in college, and he;s got one of the best, most effortless arms i've ever seen .. . . but i really liked what i saw of freeman on sunday. first i've seen him in-person, other than meeting him in training camp, and he was impressive
Garrett (Nashville)
I wish everyone would just stop praising the Texans every year and giving them a playoff spot on paper. This team is picked to be a "Sleeper" every season and yet they are 7-9,8-8 every single season.
len (11:49 AM)
i'm not right on much, but i never bought into the texans as a chic pick this yer, sir . . . and still don't .. . .they're one of those teams that usually finds a way to lose
Michael (Milwaukee)
Does Favre look old to you sir? He had a great comeback last night but he seems to be fading late in the season
len (11:51 AM)
i think, like every qb of any age, sir, he looks bad against pressure up the middle . . . that said, very few qbs could have mounted that type of comeback last night
Bob (Seattle-Tacoma International Airport)
who is to blame for the g-men's struggles?
len (11:52 AM)
didn't realize, sir, that steve spagnuolo was so irreplacable, did you? . . . defense, which couldn't get itself off the field, was main culprit
Katelyn (Syracuse, NY)
Is Steve Spagnoulo in danger in St. Louis? Would he go back to the Giants in a heart beat if let go?
len (11:54 AM)
he'll get at least another year, ma'am . . . giants would take him back, though, in a heartbeat . . . especially the players
If the Steelers make it to the playoffs, do you think that they have a legit chance of wininng the superbowl?
len (11:54 AM)
alas, sir, not with that defense
Bob (Seattle-Tacoma International Airport)
was manning really worth the 97.5 mill?
len (11:57 AM)
it's all relative, sir, especially if you don't have a franchise-caliber quarterback , , , is peyton going to be worth thr $150 million he gets? . . . to the colts, who wouldn't win many (or maybe any) games witout him, yeah
len (11:58 AM)
good point, sir, but the steelers and texans have only themselves to blame for being in their respective positions
len (12:00 PM)
well, it apears we've run out of questions . . . thanks so much for your time and interest . . . have a great new year and enjoy the playoffs! thanks again

Ag awards to be at Crawford Fair
George Greig, Jeffrey Raney and Dennis Archacki Excavating will all recieve special awards during the Crawford County Fair on Aug. 18 at 2 p.m.
Greig and Raney were selected to be inducted into the Agricultural Hall of Fame, and Dennis Archacki Excavating was selected to be honored with the Ag Industry Award.
"Various agricultural organizations and past recipients were able to enter candidates for the award," said Susan Tau of the Pomona Grange. The group met June 6 and made its selections.
The awards program is now administered by the Crawford County Grange but was originally started under the former Council of Farms. The awards honor those in the agricultural community for excellence in their profession.
"We had very good participation from everyone this year in the selection process," Tau said. "The award program began back in 1981."
Greig, one of the 2013 Hall of Fame winners, is a diary farmer in Conneaut Township and is currently the Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture. He has been involved with numerous agricultural organization on the national, state and local level.
Jeffrey Raney has been involved in farming almost his entire life. Since 1980, when he moved to Crawford County from Lawrence County, he has been active in numerous agricultural organizations.
Raney's registered Holstein herd in the Jamestown area has won numerous awards for milk production. Currently, the farm yields 100 acres of corn and 100 acres of soybeans as well as alfalfa.
The Ag Industry Award will be presented to Dennis Arbacki Excavating of Saegertown. He began his own excavating business in 1992 with his wife, April. He has been active in working closely with members of the farming community in various projects such as building ponds, waterways and tilling fields in Crawford County.
The award ceremony at the Crawford County Fair, one of the largest agricultural fairs in the nation, is open to the general public. This will be the second year the award presentation will be held at the fair.

Mr. Manners Pays It ForwardWhit Honea
"Thank you," said the girl as she walked through the door that my 7-year-old son was holding open. She was midway through a line of children and the first to acknowledge us.
"Did you see how that little girl thanked you?" I asked after the kids had passed.
"Kids should always use their manners," he answered.
"Not just kids," I added. "That goes for all of us."
"Even when it's another kid?" he asked.
"How did it make you feel when she thanked you?"
"Then I think you have your answer," I said.
We walked down the hall, looking at this and that, up some stairs, and through a door that a child held open.
"Thank you," my son said.
The child smiled.
"That kid was using manners, too." I noted.
"By holding the door open?" he asked. "That's what I do for people."
"I know you do."
A woman walked by with a handful of books. She dropped one about a foot from where we were standing. My son ran over, picked up the book and handed it to her. He asked if she needed help, and she replied that she didn't. Then he went to the door and held it open.
"Thank you," she said to him.
"Your son has very nice manners," she said to me.
"Yes he does," I answered as he ran up and took my hand. We started to walk away.
"Daddy," he whispered (which is basically just a huskier version of his yell). He pulled me close, "You were supposed to say thank you.'"
Touché, kid. Touché.
He held my hand as we walked together down the sidewalk. He paused often to point out random acts of kindness. I paused too, and I thanked him every single time.

- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 flat anchovy fillets

- 1/2 cup unsalted cashews
- 1 pound fettuccine or similar pasta, boiled and drained

2. In the container of a blender or processor, combine the oil, butter, Parmesan cheese, anchovies, garlic, and salt. Whirl until smooth. Blend in the spinach and basil. Add the cashews and whirl briefly, creating a coarse, pebbly texture. Toss with the hot, drained pasta and serve.

shaddeal's Review for St Croix Valley Restorative Justice Program, Inc.
As a repeat OWI offender I went and seen a victim impact panel present their pleas to myself and others like me. It was an eye opening experience listening to family's impacted by behavior like mine as well as hearing testimony from previous offenders. Changed my viewpoint about how severe my decisions were and that Johnny Law was not just out to get me. We all make decisions and not always the right ones, but drinking and driving is one of the most easily preventable and inexcusable acts one can decide to do. In part due to the presentation afforded to me from my own decisions and the people who took the time to share their stories, I no longer am the same man and recommend all to participate in or see for themselves what I am talking about!

OSHA News Release – Region 2

For Alleged Violations Of Safety And Health Standards
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A Buffalo nursing home's failure to adequately protect its workers against bloodborne pathogens, falls, and other hazards has resulted in $62,200 in proposed fines from the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Ridge View Manor, a Zacher Healthcare facility, of 300 Dorrance Ave., was cited for alleged repeat and serious violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act following an inspection conducted under OSHA's national emphasis program for nursing and personal care facilities. Ridge View Manor is the fifth Zacher Healthcare facility to be inspected by OSHA in the Buffalo area; the third since 2002.
The bulk of the fines, $52,700, are proposed for six alleged "repeat" violations. The violations include failure to provide specific "lockout/tagout" procedures and training for maintenance workers to prevent the start-up of machinery undergoing repairs or maintenance; not having a fall protection program and training for employees exposed to falls while performing maintenance work on the facility's roof; no eye protection for employees working with corrosive cleaners; improper storage of sharps containers; an incomplete blood borne pathogen training program and incomplete records for same.
The citations were classified as repeat because OSHA cited Zacher Healthcare's facility in Hamburg, N.Y., for substantially similar hazards in July.
"An employer must provide and ensure required safeguards for its workers at all of its facilities," said Art Dube, OSHA's Buffalo area director. "There can be no exceptions, especially in an industry that ranks high in injuries and illnesses."
Ridge View Manor was also cited for four alleged serious violations, with $9,500 in proposed fines, for improper storage of compressed gas cylinders; no post vaccine follow-ups for employees; failure to supply the Hepatitis B vaccine in a timely manner; and failure to provide initial and annual bloodborne pathogen training. OSHA defines a serious violation as one in which there us a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazardous condition about which the employer knew or should have known.
Ridge View Manor has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to either elect to comply with them, to request and participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director, or to contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
OSHA's Buffalo area office at 5360 Genesee St., Bowmansville, NY, conducted the investigation. The telephone number is (716) 684-3891. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is dedicated to saving lives, preventing injuries and illnesses, and protecting America's workers. Safety and health add value to business, the workplace and life. For further information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department releases are accessible on the Internet at http://www.dol.gov.

Good girls gone bad: From Elizabeth Taylor to Anne Hathaway
Which stars pulled a 'Spring Breakers' before Selena Gomez?
Elizabeth Berkley
Film she went "Bad" for: "Showgirls"
Why it was shocking: Best known as buttoned-up high school feminist Jesse Spano on the squeaky-clean Saturday morning series "Saved By the Bell," Berkley shocked everyone two years after the series ended by taking it all off for Paul Verhoeven's NC-17 opus "Showgirls." As Nomi Malone, a young drifter who scratches and claws her way through the ranks of Las Vegas strippers to win a coveted slot as a showgirl, the actress went 180-degrees out from her most famous role by baring her breasts and engaging in graphic sex scenes, including a now-infamous pool-coitus bit that saw her thrashing wildly atop Kyle MacLachlan. Unfortunately for Berkley, the attempt to shed her good-girl image proved disastrous for her career, with critics savagely deriding her over-the-top performance. To her credit, Berkley continued trudging along in the ugly aftermath, putting in better-than-expected supporting performances in a string of films including Oliver Stone's "Any Given Sunday," Woody Allen's "Curse of the Jade Scorpion" and the underrated 2002 indie "Rodger Dodger." Unfortunately, a disaster on the level of a "Showgirls" tends to be merciless for those left floundering in its wake, and despite her best efforts, Berkley never managed to shake the career baggage left by her most infamous role.

If the driver had worked for STA, he would have been fired.....
NEW YORK — An SUV carrying an Israeli press corps here last week ran out of gas in a tunnel, but the journalists caught a ride on a school bus.
The press corps was in New York for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the U.N. General Assembly. According to an account of the incident by Raphael Ahren from The Times of Israel, after the SUV came to a halt in the tunnel, the group got out and eventually stopped a yellow school bus.
Ahren reported that there were no passengers on the school bus except for the driver's "companion" (probably a bus monitor), and the driver agreed to shuttle the journalists to the U.N. Interestingly, the school bus driver, whom Ahren called "our guardian angel driver," was a Jewish-Russian immigrant to the U.S. who spoke some Hebrew.

New Milwaukee taxi ordinance proposal gains traction
A proposed ordinance that would revamp the city's system of regulating the taxicab industry and accommodate new technology-based services like Uber and Lyft took on more momentum Monday.
Council members José Pérez and Nik Kovac joined the list of six co-sponsors, bringing to eight the number of council members who are backing the proposed ordinance. The six are Common Council Michael Murphy and council members Bob Bauman, Jim Bohl, Joe Davis, Russell W. Stamper II and Tony Zielinski. There are 15 members of the Common Council.
The council will consider the proposed ordinance on Tuesday.
Bauman said he was putting the final touches on an amendment that would provide for the issuance of provisional driver's licenses until a regular city license is approved or denied by the Common Council.
Under a provisional license, an applicant would attest that he or she was not a felon or had an inordinate number of moving violations. The applicant would receive a taxi permit and a license enabling them to pick up passengers. At some point the applicant would still have to go through a city background check and inspection.
The amendment was drafted to appease the new smartphone-based services such as Lyft and Uber.
Red Christensen, representing the Milwaukee chapter of the Wisconsin Association of Taxicab Owners, said in an email that "we, the industry professionals, have been ignored and excluded.
Christensen wrote, "The weekend warriors that drive for Uber and Lyft will cherry-pick the good rides, preventing the hardworking men and women who drive taxicabs for a profession from earning a living. This will have a detrimental effect on the taxicab industry which will result in many lower income areas of the city not having any service at all. When you take weekends out of the picture, the vast majority of taxi rides provided in Milwaukee are to low-income neighborhoods where people cannot afford their own cars. The Common Council's indifference and hostile attitude toward our industry will end up harming their own constituents the most."
Christensen said it was clear to him council members already had made their minds up.
Mayor Tom Barrett said last week he had not read the proposed ordinance but hoped to find a way to accommodate Lyft and Uber.

Turning 30 Ain't So Bad: The 30th Mt Baker Legendary Banked Slalom Microsite
It snowed, the sun came out it snowed some more--the legends made an appearance and the piano man sang a song. The tribe gathered at Mt Baker and proved what snowboarding means--it means more than anyone can quantify by participation numbers or rotations. It can only be measured by its true participants, those who are in it for life. And hundreds, if not thousands showed up at Mt Baker this weekend. It was something more than a web gallery could do justice, so we built a microsite complete with full-page imagery, a photo essay and integrated video.
Smash Powder: A Weekend of Storms at Alpental for A-Rob's Smash Life Banked Slalom
"We didn't really talk about it publicly, but Tipton and I have been discussing 'Code Red' for a few days now," Joe Pope said.
The Park Director for The Summit at Snoqualmie, Pope was standing atop a whited-out banked slalom course in the Alpental, WA backcountry. It was Saturday. We were supposed to be racing today in the A-Rob Smash Life Banked Slalom. He and Tipton Power and a dedicated crew of park staff and volunteers had been digging all week. But it had snowed heavily—a foot-plus overnight.
Interstate 90 was shut down. Nobody could get to the mountain, let alone ride it. Except for those of us lucky enough to be sleeping in the parking lot for the few nights prior, and early risers who made it up there before the freeway shut down. So code red it was—everyone qualified for the finals, and Saturday was a powder day for all...

AUGUSTA — Fans hoping to see the area's top high school football players square off against their counterparts from Georgia had those hopes put on hold Saturday.
With heavy rains and more moving through the area throughout the afternoon, the first playing of the Border Bowl at Laney High School's football stadium was moved to today at 1 p.m.
Teams had already taken the field for warmups and player introductions, and the captains were lined up for a coin toss when a delay was announced.
"Initially they said there was going to be a 15-minute delay," said North Augusta head coach Dan Pippin. "When we cleared the field, it got real bad."
That happened around 1:15 p.m., and the rains only got heavier once the teams left the field for the delay. As fans huddled under concessions awnings and umbrellas, the wind picked up.
"Everyone would rather play (Saturday), obviously," Pippin said, pointing to a lightning strike that affected the stadium's power as one of the deciding factors for the postponement. "So then it was like, 'OK, we need to go.'"
Tickets purchased will still be good for today's game, and tickets are still available for $5 for those who didn't already have one.

What is the Federal Code Number for Boston Conservatory at Berklee?
The Federal Code Number (FAFSA Code Number) for Boston Conservatory at Berklee is 002129. The Federal Code Number for Berklee is 002126. Both codes must be added to the 2016-2017 FAFSA. If you've already filled out your 2016–2017 FAFSA with just the conservatory's Federal Code, you need only update it. You do not have to fill out a whole new FAFSA.
How and when will I recieve my Financial Aid?
How and when will I receive my financial aid?
- For grants, most scholarships, Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, Direct PLUS Loans, Direct Grad PLUS Loans, and private educational loans, our office reviews your enrollment and other eligibility criteria and authorizes payment to your student account two to three weeks after the start of the semester.
- Your awards may increase, decrease, or be canceled, depending on these eligibility reviews. If your aid is canceled for any reason, you are responsible for paying all tuition, fees, and book charges you have incurred. Credited funds are applied to your unpaid balance.
- You will be notified by Boston Conservatory email when your federal loan funds have been credited.
- Financial aid is credited to the student's accounts approximately two weeks after the end of the add/drop period. If your credited aid exceeds Boston Conservatory charges, then you may be eligible for a refund check. Refund checks are usually available one month after the start of classes.
- If your charges exceed your aid, you must pay the balance.
- If your aid exceeds your charges, you may be eligible for a refund.
When can I receive my refund?
When can I receive my refund?
If you have more in financial aid (loans, grants, scholarships), than you owe to the school, then you should be eligible for a refund. Refunds become available after the add/drop date, usually one month after the start of the semester. If the refund comes from the Parent PLUS Loan, it will be necessary for your parents to sign a release form for you to receive the funds. Forms are sent before the loans are disbursed to the school.
Credit balances from Federal Title IV funds—Pell Grants, SEO Grants, Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans; PLUS and Grad PLUS loans: When Federal Title IV funding is received and posted to the student's account and creates a credit balance, refunds will be issued automatically to the student approximately 7-14 days after the tenth class day.
More information coming soon regarding Leave of Absence withdrawal refunds.
How many credits will I need to take?
How many credits will I need to take?
Students are awarded under the assumption that they will be enrolled full time. Awards cannot be disbursed until you have registered for the minimum number of credits. If a student does not register for or drops below a full time number of credits, his or her awards may be canceled or reduced. Please see the conservatory catalog for a listing of Credit Loads and Enrollment Status.
- Pell Grant awards vary based on credit load.
- Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, Direct PLUS Loans, Direct Grad PLUS Loans, Work Study, SEO Grants, Part Time State Grants and many private loans require at least half time enrollment. Six credits is half time enrollment for undergraduates. Graduate students should check their individual program for half time enrollment information. Awards may be pro-rated based on the number of credits taken.
- Most State Grants require full time enrollment.
- Conservatory Scholarships require full time enrollment.
For undergraduates, full-time enrollment is at least 12 credits. Graduate students should check their individual program for full-time enrollment information.
What do I have to do to receive and keep my conservatory scholarship?
What do I have to do to receive and keep my conservatory scholarship?
Conservatory scholarships are awarded based primarily on the merit of the audition. Need may be taken into account if the FAFSA is filed, but only if the audition warrants it. They are renewable if the student maintains Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for scholarships (see below). The conservatory scholarship is not increased unless the student has a full tuition and fee scholarship and tuition increases.
- Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for scholarships
- To remain eligible for your conservatory scholarship you must meet the scholarship academic progress standards. SAP standards include a 2.0 cumulative GPA, and completion of full time credits per semester. Full-time enrollment for undergraduate students is 12 credits. Graduate students should check their individual program for information on full-time enrollment.
- Annual Reapplication Requirement

- There is no reapplication requirement, you must, however, maintain scholarship SAP.
Scholarship Probation
Students who do not pass the academic requirements listed above will go on Scholarship Probation. They will receive their scholarship for one semester while they attempt to pass the requirements. If they do not pass the requirements, they will go on Scholarship Suspension and lose their scholarship.
Scholarship Suspension Appeal
Students on Scholarship Suspension may appeal their status. They would need to write the Director of Financial Aid within 14 days of receiving notification of their suspension. In their appeal, students should write why they did not succeed and how they plan on succeeding in the future. Verification may be requested. If their appeal is successful, then they will be given an extra semester of Scholarship Probation.

What do I have to do to keep my federal and state aid?
What do I have to do to keep my federal and state aid?
To remain eligible to take classes and receive federal financial aid at Boston Conservatory, you must comply with the college-wide Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy:
Grade-Point Average
Undergraduates must maintain a cumulative and semester GPA of 2.0 or better. Graduate students must maintain a cumulative and semester grade-point average of 2.7 or better.
Course Completion Rate (Avoid Excessive Withdrawals)
You must complete at least 67 percent of all cumulative and semester attempted credits. Credits for withdrawn, failed, incomplete, repeated, completed, and transfer classes are considered "attempted," as are credits for English as a Second Language (ESL) classes and all credits attempted during periods when you did not receive financial aid. A class is considered "completed" if you have earned a grade of "D" or better. Withdrawn courses count as unsuccessful attempts.
Complete Degree Before Exceeding Attempted Credit Limit
You must complete your program of study within 150 percent of the published time frame. Transfer credits count against your 150 percent limit. If you complete the requirements for one degree or certificate, you may be able to receive aid for additional programs of study.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) will be evaluated at the end of every semester. Students who are not meeting the SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid Warning (FAW). Students on FAW may still receive financial aid. They have one semester to make the required standards before being placed on Financial Aid Suspension (FAS). Suspended students are ineligible for all Federal, State, and conservatory aid programs.
Suspended students may appeal their status. The appeal must be in writing and explain:
- Why the student did not complete the requirements
- What has changed that will allow him or her to complete the requirements
- An academic plan that shows how he or she will be able to complete their degree in a specified time frame
The SAP Committee will review all completed appeals. Approved students will be granted Financial Aid Probation status and will be eligible to receive aid for their next semester.
Students on FAS may be able to re-establish eligibility by meeting the above SAP requirements at their own expense.
For more information on this and other policies, please see the Student Handbook.
What if my financial situation has changed?
What if my financial situation has changed?
If your family experiences an extreme change in its finances due to circumstances such as illness, disability, divorce, or unemployment, you can have your eligibility re-evaluated based on your new family financial circumstances. The conservatory has a "Special Circumstances" form on the forms page. Fill in and submit the form and all of the requested documentation to Financial Aid. Your request will be reviewed and you will be notified of the results.
Bills are mailed in June and November. Your financial aid award will be listed on your bill as "Expected Funding." Expected funding will be subtracted from the total as long as the award letter has been signed and returned with all requested documents. If all requested documents have not been sent, then your financial aid will not show up on your bill. If your financial aid does not show up on the bill and you have not paid your balance, you will receive a late fee of $200.
If you do not have enough financial aid to cover your bill, then you must find the money another way (private loans, PLUS loans, outside scholarships, own pocket). If you do not have funding in place by the deadline, then you will receive a late fee of $200.
What if I didn't get enough financial aid to pay my bill?
What if I didn't get enough financial aid to pay my bill?
Most students do not get enough financial aid on their award letter to cover their balance. In this situation, there are options listed below for you to consider. To determine how much you can take out on these loans, determine your cost of attendance and subtract the financial aid listed on your award letter. Please note that you do not have to take out your entire cost of attendance.
Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans—PLUS loans are available to all credit-worthy parents of undergraduate students attending on an at least half time basis. The FAFSA is required in order for the parent to take out the PLUS. Parents may take out the full cost of attendance minus any other financial aid. Repayment starts as soon as the loan is fully disbursed (usually in the spring semester), however, parents can now defer making payments until the student is out of school. Parents that do not make loan payments and do not arrange for a deferment, will not receive a PLUS loan for the following academic year. If a parent applies for a PLUS loan and is denied, then the student may apply for an Unsubsidized Loan for $4,000 or $5,000 (see above) or the parent can re-apply with a credit worthy endorser. PLUS Loans are assumed to be for the whole academic year. Any parent who wants the PLUS for just a semester must notify the Financial Aid Office.
Please fill out the Direct PLUS Loan MPN at studentloans.gov. If your parent does not already have an FSA ID from filling out the FAFSA, then they will need to get one at studentaid.ed.gov. The Direct Loan interest rate was 6.84 percent for the 2015–2016 Award Year. This is expected to change July 1, 2016. There is an origination fee of 4.272 percent that is taken off the top of the loan. When determining how much to borrow, remember to factor in this 4.272 percent.
Please note that only biological or adoptive parents may take out a Parent PLUS Loan. Step parents may take out the PLUS only if they are married to the biological parent at the time that the PLUS is requested. Grandparents and legal guardians are not eligible for the PLUS unless they have legally adopted the student.
Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loans—Grad PLUS loans are available to all credit-worthy graduate students who attend on an at least half time basis. Graduate students are required to fill out the FAFSA in order to take out the Grad PLUS Loan. Repayment can be deferred until after the student leaves school. If the student is denied for reasons of credit, then he or she may reapply with a credit worthy endorser. Graduate students may take out the full cost of attendance minus any other financial aid. Any student who wants the Grad PLUS for just a semester must notify the Financial Aid Office.
Please fill out a Direct Loan Grad PLUS MPN at studentloans.gov. If you have not already created an FSA ID from filling out the FAFSA, you will need to get one at studentaid.ed.gov. You must also fill out an Entrance Counseling Interview at studentloans.gov. If you have already filled out the Entrance Interview for the Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, then you do not need to fill it out again. The Direct Loan Grad PLUS Loan's interest rate is fixed at 6.84 percent for the 2015–2016 Award Year. This rate is expected to change July 1, 2016. There is an origination fee of 4.272 percent that is taken off the top of the loan. When determining how much to borrow, remember to factor in this 4.272 percent.
NOTE: Because the interest rate on the Grad PLUS is higher than on the subsidized and unsubsidized loans, you must take out your full eligibility in the unsubsidized loan before requesting the Grad PLUS Loan.
Private/Alternative Educational Loans—Private loans are available to students, but most of these loans require a credit-worthy co-borrower. There are a variety of private educational loans with different fees and interest rates. These loans are certified by the school and the funds come directly to the school. Any student who wants a private loan for just a semester, must notify the Financial Aid Office.
As of February 14, 2010, private loans must be self-certified by the borrower. In most instances, the lender will send the borrower a self-certification form that they will have to fill out and return in order to have their private loan approved. The form will require certain financial aid information that is available in this guide (the Cost of Attendance) and on your award letter. You may also request the form and the information from the Financial Aid Office. Private loans will not be approved until the Self Certification form has been filled out and returned to the lender.
Please visit elmselect.com to find a list of private loan lenders with more information about their loans. Please note that you do not have to use this list of lenders.
Conservatory Poirier Loans—This loan program results from a generous bequest from the estate of the late Alfred Poirier, a patron and sponsor of the arts. A limited number of loans are available to undergraduate seniors who are U.S. citizens. The maximum amount that can be borrowed is $7,500 per year or $3,750 per semester. The interest rate is 6.0 percent and the loan has a 120-day grace period. Eligibility for the Poirier Loan is determined by the Financial Aid Office.
Direct to Consumer (DTC) Loans—DTC loans are marketed directly to students. These loans usually have a higher rate of interest and/or higher fees. The check is made out to the student and not the school. If the school becomes aware that the student has taken out this loan, it will be counted as a resource against the student's cost of attendance, which may result in a lessening of other financial aid. Because checks go directly to students, these loans are not counted as expected funding on the bill. This may result in a late fee of $200.
Recently, there has been discussion in the student loan industry that has resulted in a tightening of credit requirements. For those students/parents who are concerned about their FICO score, the conservatory recommends that you try to improve it before applying for a PLUS or private loan. You can do this by getting your credit report and correcting any errors and paying your bills on time (if you are late with bills, it is important to get current and stay current). If you are unable to do this, you may wish to try to find a credit-worthy co-signer, such as a friend or relative.
Please note that credit checks for PLUS and many private loans are only valid for 90 days. If you fill out the application in May, but do not complete the process until August, another credit check will have to be issued.
Tuition Payment Plan—The Tuition Payment Plan, offered by Higher One, is an interest-free, debt-free way to pay tuition in monthly installments. There are plans for just one semester (not including summer) and plans for the entire academic year. Plans may only include current balances. There is an enrollment fee for each plan, which varies by plan type. To enroll in a plan, visit tuitionpaymentplan.com/bc or call 1-800-635-0120.

For the purposes of federal financial aid, students are considered dependent on their parents until they are 24 years of age regardless of financial support. There are circumstances, however, when a student under the age of 24 may be considered independent.
The student can be considered independent if s/he:
- Is married
- Is providing more than half the support of his/her child
- Is living with and providing more than half the support of somebody else
- Is in a master's or doctorate program
- Is an orphan or ward of the court (at any time since age 13)
- Is currently serving on active duty in the US Armed Forces for purposes other than training
- Is a veteran of the US Armed Forces
- Is an emancipated minor as determined by the state of his/her legal residence
- Is or was in legal guardianship as determined by a court in the student's state of legal residence
- (If on or after July 1, 2008) has been declared an unaccompanied youth who is homeless by his high school or school district
- (If on or after July 1, 2008) has been declared an unaccompanied youth who is homeless by a director of an emergency shelter or transitional housing program funded by the US Department of Housing
- (If on or after July 1, 2008) has been declared an unaccompanied youth who is homeless or were self supporting and at risk of being homeless by the director of a runaway or homeless youth basic center or transitional living program.
Verification will be requested if a student claims any of these circumstances.
Students who don't fall into the above circumstances can be declared independent ONLY in extreme circumstances. Please see the Independency Petition Form for more information.

Can I obtain money for living expenses while attending Boston Conservatory at Berklee?
Can I obtain money for living expenses while attending Boston Conservatory at Berklee?
Yes, you can. You may receive financial aid up to the institution's Cost of Attendance (COA). The COA is a figure made up of tuition, fees, room and board, travel, and miscellaneous costs. It is an estimated figure. Most students do not receive enough financial aid in their award package to pay their total COA, so they take out loans for that purpose. Please see the Types of Financial Aid for more information on loans.

Dear all,
I've never been a firm believer in the appeals option. In dozens of appeals (most of them -I admit- foolish appeals), I only "won" once. I was actually impressed at that point to experience that it does work sometimes. Meanwhile, having reached almost 100 pics in the database, I think I have some experience with the screening and appealing processes. I brought my acceptance ratio from 40 to almost 70% in the last few months. (Now of course due to the experiences described below, it's down again... but I digress). I wouldn't say I use the appeal button without careful consideration nowadays. I also know the appeals function is not a second chance for screening - it is mainly there to correct errors.
Despite this, 3 recent experiences have made me quite disappointed with this service.
1 - I uploaded an (IMHO) good-quality cabin view showing a business-class seat. No similar shots are in the DB of the aircraft type/airliner concerned. It was rejected for motive (nothing else). The seat was shown as a whole, no parts missing. Not understanding this rejection, I appealed. It was rejected on appeal, no personal message, no answer to my plea that such images are very common and none existed for that particular a/c type. I only got "not added to the database".
2 - I uploaded a shot that was rejected for "dirty", with a personal message indicating the spot. I replied to the email, pointing out that in my view, it wasn't a dust spot but those plastic backward-pointing tubes you can see at the wingtips of many aircraft. It was very well possible to mistake these for a small dust spot area. No answer came on this reply, so a few days later, I appealed. It was rejected on appeal with the added dreadful "quality" reason, again no personal message, no answer to my initial question, nothing. I replied to this again (I believe about 3 or 4 days ago), but haven't received an answer yet. I do realise not everything can be answered but it was a polite email.
3 - A third case was the picture I posted in another thread, a "distance" rejection. Although this is a rejection I now don't disagree with any longer, once again, the appeal decision did not give any answer to the arguments I had used; it just repeated the original decision, ignoring any specific argumentation I brought up.
Summarising: appealing is useless to learn something. When you do think there may have been a mistake in the screening decision, don't appeal to learn something, as you won't get anything else than a new NO. Apart of course from the rare case where you actually do "win". Consequence: post it in the forum, with the risk of being part of a flood of similar threads. We are then sometimes told to mail the screeners, but to be honest, I think it would be unfair to expect answers from them - I can only imagine the flood of mails they get...
I would like to know if it is really physically impossible to answer appeals with a brief message, especially if the appeal had real arguments. Like I said, I am at a point where I upload only some shots. The ones that are rejected often remain on my hard disk, I don't bother reworking "standard" shots any more. So this plea is not motivated by a rush to upload as much as possible as quickly as possible. I just want to learn. Unfortunately, I think I'll have to keep posting threads to the forum (with the risk of being called a whiner) rather than using the appeals button. Screening takes time, often many minutes per photo. Surely a few words won't have an impact on the screening time. And it will reduce the number of threads and the number of emails to the screeners.
Hope this makes sense and is somewhat useful...

In eight new stories, a master of the form extends and magnifies her great themes--the vagaries of love, the passion that leads down unexpected paths, the chaos hovering just under the surface of things, and the strange, often comical desires of the human heart.
Time stretches out in some of the stories: a man and a woman look back forty years to the summer they met--the summer, as it turns out, that the true nature of their lives was revealed. In others time is telescoped: a young girl finds in the course of an evening that the mother she adores, and whose fluttery sexuality she hopes to emulate, will not sustain her--she must count on herself.
Some choices are made--in a will, in a decision to leave home--with irrevocable and surprising consequences. At other times disaster is courted or barely skirted: when a mother has a startling dream about her baby; when a woman, driving her grandchildren to visit the lakeside haunts of her youth, starts a game that could have dangerous consequences. The rich layering that gives Alice Munro's work so strong a sense of life is particularly apparent in the title story, in which the death of a local optometrist brings an entire town into focus--from the preadolescent boys who find his body, to the man who probably killed him, to the woman who must decide what to do about what she might know. Large, moving, profound--these are stories that extend the limits of fiction.

Read an Excerpt
Sonje was not the sort of friend who would tell you that she was trying to have a baby and how long she'd been trying and what techniques she was using. She never talked about sex in that way, or about her periods or any behavior of her body--though she soon told Kath things that most people would consider much more shocking. She had a graceful dignity--she had wanted to be a ballet dancer until she got too tall, and she didn't stop regretting that until she met Cottar, who said, "Oh, another little bourgeois girl hoping she'll turn into a dying swan." Her face was broad, calm, pink skinned--she never wore any makeup, Cottar was against makeup--and her thick fair hair was pinned up in a bushy chignon. Kath thought she was wonderful looking--both seraphic and intelligent.
Eating their French fries on the beach, Kath and Sonje discuss characters in the stories they've been reading. How is it that no woman could love Stanley Burnell? What is it about Stanley? He is such a boy, with his pushy love, his greed at the table, his self-satisfaction. Whereas Jonathan Trout--oh, Stanley's wife, Linda, should have married Jonathan Trout, Jonathan who glided through the water while Stanley splashed and snorted. "Greetings, my celestial peach blossom," says Jonathan in his velvety bass voice. He is full of irony, he is subtle and weary. "The shortness of life, the shortness of life," he says. And Stanley's brash world crumbles, discredited.
Something bothers Kath. She can't mention it or think about it. Is Kent something like Stanley?
One day they have an argument. Kath and Sonje have an unexpected and disturbing argument about a story by D. H. Lawrence. The story is called"The Fox."
At the end of that story the lovers--a soldier and a woman named March--are sitting on the sea cliffs looking out on the Atlantic, towards their future home in Canada. They are going to leave England, to start a new life. They are committed to each other, but they are not truly happy. Not yet.
The soldier knows that they will not be truly happy until the woman gives her life over to him, in a way that she has not done so far. March is still struggling against him, to hold herself separate from him, she is making them both obscurely miserable by her efforts to hang on to her woman's soul, her woman's mind. She must stop this--she must stop thinking and stop wanting and let her consciousness go under, until it is submerged in his. Like the reeds that wave below the surface of the water. Look down, look down--see how the reeds wave in the water, they are alive but they never break the surface. And that is how her female nature must live within his male nature. Then she will be happy and he will be strong and content. Then they will have achieved a true marriage.
Kath says that she thinks this is stupid.
She begins to make her case. "He's talking about sex, right?"
"Not just," says Sonje. "About their whole life."
"Yes, but sex. Sex leads to getting pregnant. I mean in the normal course of events. So March has a baby. She probably has more than one. And she has to look after them. How can you do that if your mind is waving around under the surface of the sea?"
"That's taking it very literally," says Sonje in a slightly superior tone.
"You can either have thoughts and make decisions or you can't," says Kath. "For instance--the baby is going to pick up a razor blade. What do you do? Do you just say, Oh, I think I'll just float around here till my husband comes home and he can make up his mind, that is our mind, about whether this is a good idea?"
Sonje said, "That's taking it to extremes."
Each of their voices has hardened. Kath is brisk and scornful, Sonje grave and stubborn.
"Lawrence didn't want to have children," Kath says. "He was jealous of the ones Frieda had from being married before."
Sonje is looking down between her knees, letting sand fall through her fingers. "I just think it would be beautiful," she says. "I think it would be beautiful, if a woman could."
Kath knows that something has gone wrong. Something is wrong with her own argument. Why is she so angry and excited? And why did she shift over to talking about babies, about children? Because she has a baby and Sonje doesn't? Did she say that about Lawrence and Frieda because she suspects that it is partly the same story with Cottar and Sonje?
When you make the argument on the basis of the children, about the woman having to look after the children, you're in the clear. You can't be blamed. But when Kath does that she is covering up. She can't stand that part about the reeds and the water, she feels bloated and suffocated with incoherent protest. So it is herself she is thinking of, not of any children. She herself is the very woman that Lawrence is railing about. And she can't reveal that straight out because it might make Sonje suspect--it might make Kath herself suspect--an impoverishment in Kath's life.
Sonje who has said, during another alarming conversation, "My happiness depends on Cottar."
My happiness depends on Cottar.
That statement shook Kath. She would never have said it about Kent. She didn't want it to be true of herself.
But she didn't want Sonje to think that she was a woman who had missed out on love. Who had not considered, who had not been offered, the prostration of love.

Each story is a maze of a woman¿s imperfect relationships: wife, friend, parent, child, in-law, grandparent, care-taker. They all point to Munro¿s definition of what it means to be female: a survivor.
Vivid settings and people over generations provide the satisfying click of recognition, but occasionally the click is a peal of revelation. In ¿Rich as Stink¿, how does an eleven-year old girl navigate complicated family relationships that come out of divorce? Step-moms, mom¿s boyfriend, mom¿s boyfriend¿s wife? Is she sullen, rebellious, obnoxious, withdrawn? Karin becomes a very careful observer of the nuances of adult behavior. She uses humor to deflect, distract, and engage the adults in her life, desperately hoping to maintain the ones she values and to hide the harm they have done. Karin is her mother¿s protector, in the end sacrificing herself to save her mom. After the final disappointment, young girls learn not to depend on anyone else. Even if you're not a fan of short stories, Munro is worth it.
What can I say? Every story of Munro's is a delectable morsel, and this collection is no exception. Half of me wants to devour the stories; the other half knows that I must make them last. Munro's relationships are our reslationships. Her stories are our stories; her characters are us.

An Infamous Crime Revisited
Bruno Hauptmann was the only person arrested (and convicted) in the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, but investigators were certain that he didn't act alone. In "Cemetery John," Robert Zorn says he knows who the mastermind was.
H.L. Mencken called it "the greatest story since the Resurrection." Damon Runyon anointed it "the crime of the century." Eighty years after the golden child of the world-famous aviator Charles Lindbergh was snatched from his crib, the case is more a historical curiosity than a sensation, overtaken by the Kennedy assassination, the O.J. Simpson murders and other tabloid marvels. Yet the fascination endures because, incredibly enough, the crime was never fully solved.
Prompted by his father's belief in a boyhood brush with history, Robert Zorn is now offering a fresh take on the cold case, plausibly arguing in "Cemetery John" that, despite the execution of the odious Bruno Richard Hauptmann, the real mastermind of the crime escaped unpunished.
Like the magical "single bullet" that passed through JFK and wounded Texas Gov. John Connally, an anomaly nestles in the heart of the Lindbergh case.
On Tuesday, March 1, 1932, the 20-month-old boy, named for his celebrated father, was taken from a second-floor bedroom and carried down a rickety ladder propped against the wall of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh's country retreat in Hopewell, N.J. Two months later, the child's body was found abandoned to the animals in a nearby wood.
From the start, investigators assumed that a gang had to be involved: one to hand the baby out the window to an accomplice on the ladder and at least a third to brace the ladder from below. Later, when the $50,000 ransom money was going to be handed over in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, at least one lookout checked the scene before the bagman accepted the box of cash. But only Hauptmann was arrested, convicted and executed in the electric chair for the crime.
The case had generated so much hysteria, Mr. Zorn writes, that the authorities decided to "simplify" the prosecution by focusing on the German carpenter they had captured and not even bothering to pursue his confederates.
Cemetery John
By Robert Zorn
(Overlook, 317 pages, $26.95)
Who were the other kidnappers? Mr. Zorn's father, an economist who grew up in a German-immigrant section of the South Bronx in the 1920s, had a theory about that. As a shy teenager, he had been befriended by a delicatessen clerk who lived in a $10-a-month room in a house on his block. One summer day in 1931, this man, John Knoll, took young Gene Zorn to the Palisades amusement park in New Jersey, close to the town of Englewood, where the Lindberghs lived with baby Charles Jr. before going to Hopewell. At the amusement park, Knoll and Zorn met two other Germans; Knoll called one of them "Bruno." Zorn didn't understand German, but heard the men talking about "Englewood."
From this cluelet, first Gene Zorn and then his son constructed a fascinating, circumstantial case that John Knoll was, in fact, the dubious brains behind the crime of the century—or, at least, of the first half of the century—and the mysterious "Cemetery John" who penned the gang's baroque ransom notes and actually accepted the money.
At the heart of Robert Zorn's theory of the case is Dr. John F. Condon, a retired Bronx educator and notorious blowhard who injected himself into the affair by becoming the kidnappers' contact with Lindbergh. On the night of March 12, 1932, Condon met at the cemetery with a man who said his name was John. Condon later gave police a detailed description of the man—between 158 and 165 pounds, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10, with a high forehead and a pointed chin. On John's left thumb Condon noticed a large, fleshy growth. From Condon's description, the police produced a sketch of Cemetery John.
Early in the investigation, Condon ruled out Hauptmann as the kidnapper in the cemetery. The carpenter was bigger than John, his voice was different, and his left thumb looked nothing like John's. Yet, as the circus trial gained momentum, Condon suddenly identified Hauptmann as Cemetery John. That sealed his fate. Concern with Hauptmann's accomplices faded away. Over time, others tried to spark interest in the hunt for the conspirators, but it was left to Robert Zorn to reopen the mystery.
He marshals a persuasive case that John Knoll must be Cemetery John. For one thing, photos of Knoll are remarkable matches to the police sketch based on Condon's description; one even shows the deformed thumb. For another, after the kidnapping, Knoll showered his father with expensive stamps, including a Lindbergh commemorative airmail issue. Money found at Hauptmann's house accounted for only a third of the ransom. And just as Bruno was going on trial, Knoll booked first-class passage to Hamburg for himself and his wife on the luxurious S.S. Manhattan for $700—70 times his monthly rent in the depths of the Depression. After Hauptmann was convicted, Knoll sailed back, and later opened three delicatessens of his own.
Mr. Zorn offers much more detail, and he consults FBI profilers, psychologists, high-tech handwriting experts and others to establish that Knoll almost certainly wrote the ransom letters and had the borderline psychopathic personality to hatch the scheme. The author even confects a revisionist scenario for the crime in which Hauptmann's role was to supply the ladder and creep into the house, snatch the baby and hand him out the window to Knoll, while Knoll's younger brother held the ladder below.
Mr. Zorn embeds his theory in a deft narrative that borrows gracefully and with credit from many previous books about the Lindberghs and the kidnapping, especially A. Scott Berg's 1998 "Lindbergh," and from the Lone Eagle's own autobiography and works by his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh. "Cemetery John" conjures up all the characters who turned the case into a carnival, including a manic Walter Winchell crowing after the verdict: "I predicted he'd be guilty. Oh, that's another big one for me!"
Lindy, himself, emerges from the book as admirably disciplined and stoic—a true American hero whose perfection would only later be tarnished by his crush on Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goering.
Mr. Kosner, the former editor of Newsweek, New York, Esquire and the New York Daily News, is the author of a memoir, "It's News to Me."

'Before I Die' wall installed at Sky High
Death has a way of clarifying life, or so say great philosophers and New Orleans artist Candy Chang. It has a way of making us examine the kind of person we want to be, the life we want to live, the people who are important to us.
On Tuesday, people in the Bay View neighborhood were confronted by the finiteness of their lives as a result of one of Chang's projects. A wall that reads "Before I die I want to..." and has little buckets of colored chalk so people can fill in the blanks was installed at the Sky High Skateboard Shop and Gallery, 2501 S.
