Why My Father Died: A Daughter Confronts Her Family's Past at the Trial of Klaus Barbie
This is a story of the Resistance, a portrait of a young couple whose dreams were destroyed by the Nazi occupation and a daughter's personal quest for her patrimony. Annette Kahn moves back and forth between the drama of her parents' story and testimony from the Barbie trial. In late 1943 Robert Kahn was arrested by Klaus Barbie's militia, rescued by the Resistance, and finally recaptured. From prison, he arranged for the safety of his wife and children, but Jeanne Kahn would not leave Lyon without her husband. On August 11, 1944 she was sent to Auschwitz, an experience about which she never spoke.

Several banks combined to bring into being the great institution now known as Barclays Bank. Not the least of these smaller streams running into the main was the successful bank started by a Quaker family in Norwich which owed much to their business sense but also to the extreme trust and reliability engendered by the way they lived their lives. All of the contributory banks were partnerships and many were country banks. The earliest banks in Britain developed from the goldsmith trade but these were in London and did not seek to extend their business outside the capital. However they did hold the accounts of country merchants who financed their trade through bills of exchange. Some of these merchants provided services for neighbours whose businesses were not large enough to justify maintaining an account of their own. From these beginnings country banks were formed. Many trades led to banking but the most common one was textiles, one of the first to produce a surplus.
It was in 1667, a young man called John Gurney, following the death of his father in tragic circumstances after difficulties in his business affairs, left his home in Maldon and travelled to Norwich to live and work among the Quakers of the city. This community was experiencing a hard time, mainly due to persecution, but John was welcomed and was given the task of caring for a rectangular plot of ground that had been purchased by the Norwich Friends with the intention of using it as a burial ground and with the hope a Meeting House would also be built there. These hopes were realised and today one may view the Gildencroft Meeting House, rebuilt after being destroyed by enemy action during the Second World War, and its remarkable burial ground containing the graves of many members of the Gurney and associated families. The grave of Amelia Alderson, who was to marry John Opie, the painter, is also to be found there. It needs a little seeking out; it is perhaps best approached from St Augustine's Street, but the effort will be well rewarded.
John Gurney's early years in Norwich were not easy, with others he suffered imprisonment for his beliefs, but he endured and gradually the City authorities saw the value of the Quaker community to the city as its members were good citizens indeed. He took to himself a wife, Elizabeth Swanton of Woodbridge, brought her back to Norwich where they lived at the sign of The Three Pigeons in the fork of two streets at different levels known then as Over and Nether Westwyke and now as St. Benedict's Street and Westwick Street. The building was replaced in 1878 but the site and the street configuration is still quite unmistakable opposite St. Gregory's Church. Elizabeth was to bear John of Maldon eight sons, four of whom were to grow to manhood.
John Gurney of Maldon died in 1721 aged sixty-six, and was to be buried in "...the old Dutch garden that the Friends had bought as their burial ground, the Gildencroft or Buttercup Field...." this was the field John had been given to tend when he first arrived in Norwich. Two of his sons, John of St. Augustine's and Joseph of Magdalen Street, were to establish branches of the family that were to play a most significant role in a great banking story. John of Maldon had prospered, as did his sons and grandsons, in the building of a substantial woollen fortune. It was two sons of John of St. Augustines, John (1719 - 1779) and Henry (1721 - 1777), who after a period of adding simple banking transactions to their increasingly prosperous woollen trade, entered into partnership and thus formally established Gurneys Bank. The year was 1775 and the business was conducted at 35, Tooley (now Pitt) Street. Only two years later Henry died, and his place was taken by his son Bartlett, who was largely responsible for the Bank moving to more commodious premises at Redwell (now Bank) Plain. The buildings bought were those of Alderman Poole, a wine merchant, and the spaces where the Alderman's fine wines and madeiras had been stored were soon taken up by safes for bullions and valuables.
The influence of the Society of Friends remained strong in the Bank for many years, but gradually, as the years passed, younger members of the family began to drift away from membership. For example, Bartlett Gurney was not as strict a Quaker as his uncle John. Hudson Gurney, a younger member who had become a partner in 1800, was disowned by the Norwich Meeting of Friends in 1804, for subscribing towards the raising of a volunteer force to defend the country against the French. This was regarded as contrary to the principle of the Friends.
The Bank prospered, and extended to Great Yarmouth (1781), King's Lynn (1782), and Wisbech (1782). Here the Gurneys joined with the already established banking business of Jonathan Peckover. A branch at Halesworth was established in 1782 and at Fakenham ten years later. At King's Lynn, John Birkbeck, who had left his family banking business in Westmorland and who had married the sister of Bartlett Gurney was taken in as a partner. This introduced in to the Bank the second of the families to be and to remain prominent in its affairs.
Life for country bankers was not always easy in the nineteenth century. Gurneys were threatened when Overend, Gurney and Company of Lombard Street, with which the Norwich Bank was indirectly connected, failed on May 11th, 1866, known as "Black Friday". Then in Norwich itself, the Crown Bank, or Harvey's Bank, failed. It occupied, near the top of Prince of Wales Road, premises later used by the Post Office and more recently by Anglia Television. A fall in prices caused by the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War uncovered speculation that put the bank in a hopeless position. Gurney and Co. stepped in to advance money to meet the weekly wages of farmers and manufacturers and ultimately acquired the bank. This brought more branches into the Gurney fold in Ipswich and Colchester and gave them coverage of most of East Anglia.
In 1896, eleven private banks joined together under the name Barclays to meet the competition of the joint stack banks. The largest component parts were Barclay Bevan Ransom Tritton Bouverie and Co, of Lombard Street in the City of London, and the East Anglian Gurney group of banks with its centre in Norwich, where it had been founded at the end of the eighteenth century.
So a story that started with a young man seeking a better life in our old city and being given a humble task to perform, ended with the largest of the country banks involved making a significant contribution towards the creation of one of the country's great financial institutions. It is a story of which Norwich can be justly proud.

Stewart, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (HFD-160), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-7510. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Internal Radioactive Contamination--Development of Decorporation Agents.'' This draft guidance is being issued to facilitate the development of new decorporation agents or new uses of previously marketed medical products for the treatment of internal radioactive contamination. Internal radioactive contamination can arise from accidents involving nuclear reactors, industrial sources, or medical sources. The potential for such accidents has been present for many years. Recent events also have highlighted the potential for nonaccidental radioactive contamination as a result of malicious, criminal, or terrorist actions. Internal contamination occurs when radioactive material is ingested, inhaled, or absorbed from a contaminated wound. As long as these radioactive contaminants remain in the body, they may pose significant health risks. Long-term health concerns include the potential for the development of cancers of the lung, liver, thyroid, stomach, and bone and, when a radioactive contaminant is inhaled, for the development of fibrotic changes in the lung that may lead to restrictive lung disease. The only effective method of reducing these risks is removal of the radioactive contaminants from the body. ``Decorporation agents'' refer to medical products that increase the rate of elimination or excretion of inhaled, ingested, or absorbed radioactive contaminants. The effectiveness of most decorporation agents for the treatment of internal radioactive contamination cannot be tested in humans because the occurrence of accidental or nonaccidental radioactive contamination is rare, and it would be unethical to deliberately contaminate human volunteers with potentially harmful amounts of radioactive materials for investigational purposes. FDA is issuing this draft guidance to facilitate the development of new decorporation agents or new indications for previously marketed medical products that may be eligible for approval under the Animal Efficacy Rule (21 CFR part 314, subpart I and 21 CFR part 601, subpart H). As set forth in this rule, under certain circumstances animal studies can be relied on to provide substantial evidence of effectiveness of a product. Evaluation of the product for safety in humans is still required, and cannot be addressed by animal studies alone. The adequacy of human safety data will need to be assessed from clinical pharmacology and safety studies conducted in humans. This draft guidance addresses the design and conduct of the requisite CMC, animal efficacy, safety pharmacology, toxicology, clinical pharmacology, biopharmaceutics, and human safety studies needed to support approval of new decorporation agents or new uses of previously marketed medical products for the treatment of internal radioactive contamination. In addition, approval under the Animal Efficacy Rule is subject to certain postapproval commitments, including submission of a plan for conducting postmarketing studies that would be feasible should an accidental or intentional release of radiation occur, postmarketing restrictions to ensure safe use, if deemed necessary, and product labeling information intended for the patient advising that, among other things, the product's approval was based on effectiveness studies conducted in animals alone. This draft guidance addresses the postapproval commitments that would be needed for approval of a new decorporation agent or for a new indication for a previously approved agent under the Animal Efficacy Rule. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the agency's current thinking on the development of decorporation agents for the treatment of internal radioactive contamination. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II. Comments Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments on the guidance at any time. Two copies of mailed comments are to be submitted, except that individuals may submit one copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. The draft guidance and received comments are available for public examination in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. III. Electronic Access Persons with access to the Internet may obtain the document at either http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.fda.gov/cder/guidance/index.htm or http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/default.htm.

Study: Polls may underestimate anti-gay sentiment and size of gay, lesbian population
Do conventional public opinion surveys under-report the proportion of gays and lesbians in the population? And do they underestimate the share of Americans who hold anti-gay views?
A team of researchers from Ohio State and Boston Universities say the answer to both questions is yes.
"We find substantial under-reporting of LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] identity and behaviors as well as underreporting of anti-gay sentiment …even under anonymous and very private conditions," the researchers wrote in a working paper just published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
The study was conducted by economists Katherine B. Coffman and Lucas C. Coffman of Ohio State University and Keith M. Marzilli Ericson of Boston University.
They used a novel research method that, in addition to the usual privacy and anonymity afforded by the best practice survey techniques, goes further and makes it virtually impossible to connect individual respondents with their answers to sensitive questions. They call this technique the "Veiled Report" method.
Then they compared their findings with the results obtained as part of the "Veiled Report" experiment with responses from a control group that answered questions posed in a more conventional way. Their goal was to see how social desirability bias—the tendency for people to not to reveal behaviors or attitudes that they fear may be viewed as outside the mainstream—may affect reporting on these sensitive topics.
In the results using the experimental technique, self-reports of non-heterosexual identity amounted to 19% of those surveyed using the Veiled Report methods – 65% higher than the 11% in the control group. The share reporting same-sex sexual experiences also grew from 17% in the control group to 27% in the Veiled Report group, they reported. (Because their experiment did not use a random sample of the adult population, the researchers do not attempt to estimate the actual size of the country's gay and lesbian population.)
The experimental method also increased the rates of anti-gay sentiment. For example, the share who disapproved of having an openly gay manager at work increased from 16% in the control group to 27% in the Veiled Report group. The proportion who thought it should be legal to discriminate when hiring on the basis of sexual orientation also rose from 14% to 25%.
However, those in the Veiled Report treatment were less likely than those in the Direct Report treatment to say that a homosexual person "can change their sexual orientation if they choose to do so" (22% vs. 15%). As the authors suggest, "This indicates that participants saw it more socially desirable to report that sexual orientation is changeable, which goes in the opposite direction of a general 'pro-LGBT' norm."
Here's how the experiment worked. Researchers went online to recruit more than 2,500 study participants. These recruits were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups took an online survey on their personal computer and never disclosed their names or other information that could identify them.
Members of the two groups were asked eight questions about sexuality that people might be reluctant to answer truthfully, if at all. "Three questions deal with participants' sexuality: whether they consider themselves heterosexual, whether they are sexually attracted to members of the same sex, and whether they have had a sexual experience with someone of the same sex," according to the researchers . "The remaining five questions examine attitudes and opinions related to sexuality—participants are asked about public policy issues, such as legal recognition of same-sex marriage, as well as personal beliefs and feelings, such as being comfortable with LGBT individuals in the workplace."
Depending on the group, the eight survey questions were asked in slightly different ways. The first group—the "Direct Report" or control group—started with a question that looked very different from those found in a standard public opinion poll.
What they saw on their computer screen was a list of four statements and an instruction about how to answer. Here's an example of one of the list questions used in the study the first of eight sensitive questions:
Respondents never revealed their answers to any of the four individual questions on the list. Instead, they mentally added up their "yes" responses and circled entered their total.
The remaining questions included the three that measured sexual orientation and the five that measured attitudes toward gays and lesbians. All eight appeared in a standard "yes" or "no" format as shown in the example and respondents in the control group were instructed to record their answer to each question below the question itself.
The second group—the "Veiled Report" group—got all list questions. Altogether there were eight separate list questions, each of which had four more innocuous questions and one of the eight sensitive queries.
They were again instructed to add up and record their "yes" responses to each one as a total. Unlike the control group, those in the Veiled Report group were never asked to record their answer to any of the individual items.
Here's the list question asked of those in the Veiled Report group that is parallel to the one that the control group saw:
The other seven sensitive questions were framed the same way: four more benign statements and a sensitive item. Each respondent in the test group saw five questions—the original four and one of the three sexual identity questions and asked to total up and enter their "yes" responses.
By comparing the average number of "yes" answers in the two groups, researchers could estimate the proportion of the respondents in the Veiled Report group that had said yes to the sensitive question measuring.
Did the experiment work? You be the judge:
"In the Direct Report treatment, 11% of the population reports that they do not consider themselves heterosexual (8% for men, 16% for women). In the Veiled Report treatment, this increases to 19% (15% for men, 22% for women). At the same time, share of participants reporting having had a sexual experience with someone of the same sex increases from 17% in the Direct Report treatment to 27% in the Veiled Report treatment, a 59% increase," they wrote.
No significant difference was detected between the test groups on the question asking whether the respondent was attracted to members of the opposite sex.
A cautionary note: There are many challenges in estimating the size or the composition of the LGBT population, starting with the question of whether to use a definition based solely on self-identification or whether to also include measures of sexual attraction and sexual behavior. For a detailed look at the demographic characteristics of the LGBT population, see A Survey of LGBT Americans published earlier this year by the Pew Research Center.
The study by the Ohio State and Boston University researchers, while raising questions about traditional public opinion polls, does not attempt to draw its own conclusions about size of the LGBT population or public attitudes about it since the participants were not a random or representative sample of all adults 18 and older. (The researchers used Amazon's Mechanical Turk website to recruit participants.)
In fact, they said their study group was younger, more educated, more politically liberal and less likely to be Republican or to describe themselves as being at least "moderately religious" the country. They noted that some of the groups under-represented in their study are probably more likely to hold anti-gay views or be less willing to say that they are not heterosexual.

As someone who is gay and owns a firearm I find it interesting Pew will not apply this to caveat gun ownership polls/surveys.
Gallup says 63% of Americas say a home is safer with a firearm than without (Nob 2014). Meaning we do have the data on the veiled/indirect responses 63% vs direct question "do you own a gun at home" 33%47% (GSS, pew, Gallup).
Moreover the demographics of who owns guns, gender, age, region is also likely skewed. A older white male in Kentucky lives somewhere were gun ownership not just presumptive but public in the form of gun racks and hunting gear. His self nomination is not really a loss of privacy or elevated burglary of a firearm risk. Whereas elsewhere people are more likely to be private about it.
I can confirm 100% anti-gay sentiment is VERY rampant in this country! I'm straight, fully desire to have sex with females, but since I don't follow the unwritten "code" by wearing long/super baggy, droopy pants in summer, instead continuing to wear the same shorts that were common in the 80's that end well above the knee, and wear Speedos to the beach, I'm considered "gay", so any anti-gay sentiment is deemed to be thrown my way. I haven't changed in 40 years, but since I don't follow the majority anymore (which I think the majority is stupid, I don't have shorts with my butt hanging out, and I'm not on the other end either with pants drooped around my knees), so somehow my orientation flipped. Ask the females I've had sex with if I'm gay, and they'll give you a good laugh, as I'm as manly- probably more so, in the bedroom than any "He-Man" they've been with who spews those anti-gay remarks!
How is this supposedly new research methodology different from the list experiments that have been developed by public opinion scholars? (look up Sniderman, Kuklinski, many others). Calling it something else (veiled response) doesn't make it anything new.
i find it hard to believe that they came to this method independently without having known of these scholars and the work that they pioneered in public opinion research prior to putting this current paper out there.
If you circle 0, then you are essentially giving away all your answers. Not very subtle.
"By comparing the average number of "yes" answers in the two groups, researchers could estimate the proportion of the respondents in the Veiled Report group that had said yes to the sensitive question measuring"
That is a horrible HORRIBLE way of statistical analysis. I'm a scientist, I do data analysis all the time but my data are hard numbers and I use equations and tables that give hard numbers. And when I estimate, I have to take into consideration my error, compounded by more analysis. They are estimating their date for the veiled group. Estimating. And with two groups of different people, that estimation has enormous error. Those percentages might as well be the same number.
Really? I'm a professional statistician and it looks reasonable to me. I would like to see error bars on their estimates, and the info provided here isn't enough to calculate exactly what those error bars would be. But the binary nature of the questions limits the possibilities.
Taking the "am not heterosexual" question as an example: an almost* worst-case approach is to assume each of the four "innocuous" questions for each respondent is an independent Bernoulli variable with expectation 50%, and to treat the "am not heterosexual" question (whether asked separately or as part of a total) as an independent Bernoulli variable with expectation ~ 20%.
Under those assumptions, with a sample size of 2500 split evenly between the two methods, the standard error for estimating difference in the "am not heterosexual" question between those two methods works out at about 4%. The difference reported (7%) would then be borderline-significant at p=0.05 with a z-score of slightly less than 2. In practice, the expectations for the "innocuous" questions are unlikely to be exactly 50%; either higher or lower reduces the variance & hence the error in estimation.
It may seem like an odd technique, but modal bias is a big problem, and sometimes creativity is needed to get around it. For a similar technique, look up "randomised response" methods.
*I say "almost" because I've assumed independence; you can make it worse if you suppose a positive correlation between answers to those questions. But that seems like an unlikely supposition.
Cool that someone who specifically studied the field answered to the ¨scientist¨ in an objective more informed way, this usually doesn´t happen.
Makes me wonder how many times I've been harmed for being out with my company. Those times the demotion or lack of promotion didn't make sense being the highest rated manager. I can only hope the way this group w chosen inflated the numbers.
To whom it may concern:
As a former journalist, I am apalled at the reporting of this info. First off, Pew's sample is so small (2500 people) (We have around 300 million in America) and 2, they are self selected. This study tells us nothing. It only gives us a picture of 2500 people who are willing to offer their opinion. Many who offer their opinion offer it to slant the perspective people take on an issue they want to see change.
The writing of this article points out one good thing though. It does point out that people are unwilling to say their real opinion unless they can do it privately. That may say a lot of things. Perhaps it is shame over their behavior/beliefs or fear over what others may think of them or fear others will harm them.
Either way, I encourage the paper and writer to wait for bigger samplings and more unbiased populations to write an article such as this.
We don't need any more yellow journalism catering to our financial supporters. We need to tell people what is really going on and not what we, or they want to hear.
A concerned former journalist
Thank you for your comment. But a slight correction is in order. This is not a Pew Research Center study so it is not "Pew's sample." The study was done by a team of academics at Ohio State University and Boston University. Pew Research did not fund, sponsor or otherwise support this work or those who did it. We at Pew Research first learned about this research at the same time the rest of the word did: From an email blast sent on Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the organization that published the study.
First of all, the number of people in the sample is not unusual, if you look at many of the political polls done during races. But, I do believe that the population is not really representative of the general population and must be done again with a different group. This method of data gathering is fascinating, and I believe it is a much better way of gathering this data considering the reluctance of many to admit to their feelings. As this method of data gathering becomes better known, however, it may eventually be less effective, in that folks would be aware that they are indeed giving themselves away.
A few things. First off, a sample size of 2500 is more than sufficient. If you study any Intro to Statistics textbook it will explain how you can use the data from a small, REPRESENTATIVE sample and get a LIKELY accurate idea about a much much larger population. There is some chance the data will be skewed but the normal rigours of academic research insists that such a chance be under 5% in order to be considered valid and findings generally have to be reproducible to be accepted. Secondly, they admit there population is NOT representative that's why they don't claim to estimate the percentage of the population that hold these views or is GLBT. BUT of this self selecting group, individuals were RANDOMLY put into two groups meaning the differences between the two groups in aggregate should cancel out to negligible. Their findings show that for a population and therefore perhaps other populations, people will answer these kinds of questions differently under different question structuring and that these differences may more accurately depict the population's actual feelings.
If the statistics say there's a less than 5% chance a result at least as extreme is due to chance (as is the case with difference in answering the "is not heterosexual" question–and it is less than 1% chance for the "discriminate against your homo. manager" question), then you can only dispute the method. The bias in the sample population should only be considered suspect for this kind of study if you think the kind of people visiting Mechanical Turk are less likely than the median individual to answer a question honestly if its result can be directly interpreted. That's difficult to say and I don't personally know of sociological evidence that would suggest that. So, publicizing the results of this study might actually help a larger-sample replication of this study get organized and done. It may even lead to a change in standards for assessing controversial individual dispositions like these. And as the article's discussion points out, this may not even be the best way to assess homosexuality–but it does at least suggest something about people's character and their natural suspicion about research.
A sample size of 2500 is actually a rather large sample size (much larger than samples used for political polling, and those are generally quite accurate), and if it is a truly random sample, it is in fact quite accurate. The margin of error on a sample size that large, using the whole US as the population sample, is 2%. This means that, with a single exception, all of those results are statistically significant.
Beyond that, slanting opinions are considered in these surveys as well. After all, the magnitude of this effect has surely been tested via many, many surveys over time and meta-analyses.
Please learn statistics before commenting about statistics.
if you had attempted to thoroughly read the article, you would have noticed that the report was compiled by ohio state university. is that why you're a "former journalist"? couldn't be bothered to pay attention, just profess mock-indignation at other peoples reports?

It's always difficult to recommend purchasing a year's worth of hosting at once, but at this price, with the guarantee, it might not be a bad idea. 4 gigs of disk space and 200 gigs of monthly data transfer are offered, which is pretty competitive with other hosting plans in this price range.
Unlimited email accounts and FTP accounts are provided, but there is a 2 gig limit for email on this server. However, with careful management of your resources, this shouldn't be too much of a problem. Unlike many NT Hosts, ASPNix offers both unlimited MS SQL and MySQL databases, which is fantastic to see. There is a limit of 1 gig per database, but given the size of this plan's disk space, that's understandable. MS SQL Server Web Administrator and PHPMyAdmin are provided for database administration. The popular Helm Control Panel is offered for site administration.
Several development tools are provided, such as Microsoft SOAP Toolkit 3.0, ASP.NET Mobile Controls and Office Web Components. In addition ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 are also supported. The available developer features are too numerous to list here, but it's well worth checking out to see all that this plan can do. A shared SSL certificate is provided free of charge, but if you prefer a private certificate, you can add this on for just $27.95 per year, which is a great price.
Support is offered 24/7 by email, and this is the plan's only downside. The addition of telephone support would have moved this plan to the top of our NT reseller hosting plan. As it is, ASPNix comes pretty close with this plan that provides plenty of features at a very good price.Related Posts:

Although it isn't as important as it once was, search engine submission is still a SEO best practice. Search engines prefer finding your site and associated Web pages on their own. However, submitting your site to search engines doesn't hurt, as long as you're careful not to overdo it.
This two-part article will look at developing a healthy relationship with search engines so they can become aware of your site and then stay up to date as your site grows.
How Search Engines Work
Some people think that when you do a Google search, for instance, that Google searches the whole Internet and brings back the results. In reality, Google simply searches its own index, or database of information they've collected from their army of robots (sometimes called spiders or bots). The robots' mission in life is to constantly crawl the Internet and follow every link they find, take notes on content they come across, and then report back to Google and deposit their knowledge in Google's database.
This is important to know, because the idea behind site submission is to invite these robots to your new site or your new content for them to index. If the robot hasn't visited your site, then it won't show up at all in the SERP.
Once a robot has indexed your site, you generally don't need to submit your site again. This also goes for new pages of your site. As long as they're linked to pages that have already been indexed, the robot will find them.
Since these bots are designed to follow as many links they can find, it's a safe bet that they'll find you if there are links from other sites or directories to your site. This is another case for having an active link building campaign.
To see if you've been indexed, you can check your server log for Google's robot, Googlebot. You can also type in "site:yourdomain.com" at a search prompt to see if your site has been indexed by a search engine.
Automated Submission
There are many online tools for submitting your site automatically to search engines. You've probably seen advertisements for tools that will submit your site to thousands of search engines. Use these tools with care or not at all, as search engines will punish excessive submissions.
Generally, manually submitting your site to the top search engines is a better practice. In certain cases, submission tools or software may save you some time, but carefully examine any submission tools you encounter to make sure you understand exactly what they're doing and what search engines they are submitting to.
Manual Submission URLs
As mentioned above, you should submit your site(s) manually to the major search engines. You generally only need to do this once, when the site is first launched, or on a major redesign or relaunch of the site. The following URLs will allow you to submit a URL to the major search engines:
- Google/AOL/Netscape
- Yahoo
- MSN Live Search
- Ask.com (more on this in Part 2 — it requires XML sitemap submission)
- DMOZ Open Directory Project
XML Sitemaps
The new best practice for submitting sites to search engines is to create and maintain an XML sitemap for your site and point the search engines to it. Part 2 will discuss this practice and provide you with the resources to get started with XML sitemaps. For a sneak peek, take a look at http://www.sitemaps.org/.

When he's not running Australia's biggest furniture and electronic goods retailer, Harvey Norman chairman Gerry Harvey raises thoroughbred horses.
At this week's Easter Yearling Sale in Sydney, he expects his foals to fetch prices 20 per cent higher than last year.
"The economy is pretty strong and a lot of people have made a lot of money," said billionaire Harvey, 64, in a phone interview while driving to his horse farm in rural NSW. "There are a lot of people who are stupid like me. We go and buy horses because we think it's a better thing to do than buying a boat, a car, a house or even shares."
Sellers at the world's third-biggest auction of year-old racehorses expect buyers from Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and Japan to pay record prices this year as world economies and stockmarkets rebound. Prices will rise as much as 30 per cent from last year, when the most expensive horse fetched $1.7 million, according to sellers including Richard Turnley, 63, president of the Australian Thoroughbred Breeders Association. The sale starts today and ends on Thursday.
Thoroughbred sales are underpinned by buoyant economic conditions. The US economy is accelerating. In Hong Kong, the biggest market for Australian thoroughbreds, the benchmark Hang Seng stock index has gained 49 per cent in the past year.
"When business is doing well, people have more money to spend on luxuries, and that's been reflected in the prices," said David Hayes, 41, Hong Kong's third-ranked trainer this season.
Hayes, who's amassed $US43 million ($56 million) in prize money in eight seasons, said he planned to buy horses for his Lindsay Park farm in South Australia and for Collingrove, an Australian stable he owns jointly with UK tycoon, the late Robert Sangster, who died last week.
The Australian dollar's 26 per cent gain against its US counterpart in the past year isn't deterring buyers from Hong Kong, whose currency is pegged to the US dollar. John Moore, who has trained more than 40 race-winners in Hong Kong this season, said he planned to buy at the sale.
"Australia is still great value for money," Moore said. "I'm preparing myself for higher prices. I'm expecting a 20 to 30 per cent increase" from last year, when the SARS epidemic kept most Hong Kong buyers away. The average price for a yearling fell to $145,430 in 2003, down 9.7 per cent.
The sale record was set in 2001, when 404 horses fetched an average $167,214 each. Australia is the biggest breeder of racehorses after the US and the $10 billion local industry supplies about 17 per cent of the world's annual crop of foals.
This year's sale features the last colts sired by former Kentucky Derby winner Sunday Silence, which has since died. That will push up prices, Mr Turnley said. "This would probably be the best catalogue of horses ever assembled in Australia," he said. "I wouldn't be surprised if we see record prices."
Katsumi "Kirk" Yoshida, a general manager at Japan's Ricoh Co, whose family bought Sunday Silence for $US10 million ($13 million) 14 years ago, will attend the Sydney sale to look at the horse's progeny, a spokesman said.
Recent thoroughbred sales show demand is rising. Average prices rose 39 per cent at the Keeneland horse sale in Lexington, Kentucky, in January. At England's Tattersall's yearling sale in October, prices surged 28 per cent.

Wash Post Fudges The Numbers To Suggest Republicans Led Economic Recovery In Ohio
The Washington Post hid almost a full year of job creation in Ohio, suggesting that it was only after Republicans won elections in 2010 that the economy began to recover.
The Post highlighted the heavy focus on Ohio during the waning days of the presidential election and reported [1]:
Over the past two years, Ohio's economy has begun to rebound. Unemployment stands at 7 percent, below the national average and down from 9.4 percent in November 2010, when Republicans scored major victories in the midterm elections. Republican Gov. John Kasich claims his policies have helped turn around the economy, but the brightening picture gives a potential lift to Obama as Election Day nears.
But the unemployment rate in Ohio had been falling the entire year [2] leading up to the 2010 election, after it had peaked at 10.6 percent in late 2009. The unemployment rate in the state declined throughout 2010 and by September 2012 had dropped to the lowest level since before President Obama was elected.

In an attempt to recover some dignity after devoting a column to "Skidoo," this week I cover two undisputed classics of the New American Cinema, both freshly issued on Blu-ray: John Landis's "Animal House" (1978) and "The Blues Brothers" (1980). Funny then, funny now, funny on the far side of the Apocalypse.
In other good news for Landis fans, his British feature "Burke & Hare," produced by the revived Ealing Studios, will open through IFC on September 9. Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis star as the celebrated 19th century grave robbers, one of whom makes an actual, in-person appearance in the film. It's Landis's first fiction feature in twelve years — another sign, as if any more were needed, of how seriously screwed up studio filmmaking has become.

I need some BTDT advice.
DP & I are taking the plunge into TTC but the planning micro, managing, "i must know every last detail" part of me is going a bit crazy.
We explored and decided against a KD.
So now we are back to anon donor using IUI, but still in the planning stages.
i've heard/read so many conflicting stories and i'm overwhelmed.
I've been told that OHIP will cover most of the expenses when paired with our medical coverage. But then i've heard that it won't.
I hear good & bad about every sperm bank in our area. same with the clinics we have around.
I guess i'm just looking for some "we did it this way, this is our cost, this is our timeline, if we could change ___ this is what we would do" kind of advice.
Anyone care to share and ease my slightly neurotic brain?
24. dread head. book worm. [almost] married.
we are a two mama family that is about to jump feet first into TTC & mamahood.
There are lots of Canadian mamas and TTC'ers on here who I'm sure will have lots of knowledge. Feel free to join us over at the Queer Conceptions thread when you are ready to dive in. Good luck!

I'm in Vancouver but we used a KD.
However, I do know that my extended medical coverage (beyond our provincial coverage) does not carry any fertility treatment. Any ultrasounds, blood tests, etc. are covered but any treatment (drugs, procedures, sperm, etc.) is not.
You could start by asking the clinic you end up choosing - they will likely know what your insurance will cover.
We are in Toronto.
Like the PP said, most tests, ultrasounds, appointments, etc are covered. But sperm, IUI procedure, clinic admin fees (if any), meds etc are not. If you have extended health through your employer some meds may be covered, but many fertility meds are not.
How we conceived our kids:
First we participated in a 6 week course through Sherbourne Health Clinic called "Dykes Planning Tykes". They now have courses for trans families and gay men families. This gave us a lot of info about legalities, logistics, practicalities, etc.
We purchased identity release sperm from Xytex. We paid the fee to be able to see extended profiles online. You go to the American site to see extended profiles and then you contact the canandian rep to see if the chosen donor is available. Many are.
However, the Canadian site has very limited info about donors on it.
The hardest part was picking the donor. We are white anglosaxon people and so had an abundance of choice. It is hard to pick from hundreds of possibilities. We found we had to really filter our "wants/wishes" just to get anywhere. It felt weird to make so many choices about the possible genetics of your child.
We started with IUI. You buy 2 vials of sperm and go for lots of appointments and have ultrasounds at almost every appointment. When the eggs are ready you go in for insemination for two days in a row.
We did 4 medicated IUI's. None of them gave us a positive result. (My partner also has PCOS). Each cycle cost $1150 for the sperm and another $800 (i think) for the IUI. We got identity release sperm. Non-identity release sperm is $100 cheaper.
After that we decided to try IVF. It basically costs the same as 4 IUI's but with higher percentage of success and would give us info on my partners egg quality. We got 10 blastocysts from the IVF.
We implanted 1 embryo and got a negative result. The we implanted 2 with FET and got a positive result which is our 3 yr old DD.
We had 7 blasts on ice. We have now gone through three more FET's. The first two we implanted 2 embryos and got early miscarriages with both.
The last one we defrosted 3 embryos and implanted the two that survived the thaw.
We are currently 31 weeks pregnant with twins.
As far as Ontario goes. If you use anon donors than the non birth parent can automatically be on the birth registry as the other parent. You do not have to go through any legal issues to be considered a parent of the child. There is nothing that you have to do other than fill out the birth registry forms and put the name of the other parent under "other parent". The form asks for "Mothers name" and "Other parent".
I am trans, but at the time of my DD birth I was still legally a woman. I did not have any issue with being on the birth registry at all. And I will be on the registry for these children too.
Me 40 . Partner to mamacolleen 33 . DD born July 2009 . Twin boys born Nov 2012.
We are a family that loves
My wife and I were (overall) quite happy with our experiences doing IUI at Hannam Fertility Centre in Toronto.
We purchased anon sperm from Fairfax via CanAm Cryo. The sperm, storage and shipping were by far the biggest costs. We had to pay a registration fee of $150 at the fertility clinic or so and a "supplies" fee for each IUI of about $25 plus cycle monitoring for $40/mo. There's a manditory psychologist visit that was paid for by supplimental insurance. Likewise, supplimental insurance covered perscription medications (progesterone for a few cycles, but not the ones either of us got pregnant on).
My wife got pregnant in 5 attempts. The whole process from walking into the clinic to conceiving taking about 9 months.
I got pregnant in 2 attempts. The whole process taking about 3 months.
I don't know what other clinics are like, but I think it was good for us that we were very firm about wanting to go unmedicated and that we were only interested in IUI not IVF. I think some places get pushy, which is fine if you're flexible, but it was not what we wanted and we didn't want to feel that pressure either. They were respectful of our wishes.
We had to pay for sperm from bank (unwashed), $200 for the clinic (one time per year for admin fee), and $300 lab fee for each try for the clinic to wash the sperm. We did not pay for IUI procedure. It was covered by OHIP for us. We were refered by our doctor to the clinic. That might make a difference?
- our fam doc refered us to the clinic ( we loved them).
- We also participated in Dykes Planning Tykes - but hte weekend intesive one because we live out of town. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! :)
- clinic did tests (blood, ultrasound, check tubes are clear, etc...)
- after all tests done met with RE again - encourage unmedicated but gave option of medicated if we wanted. She was clear, unbiased, and gave us pros and cons and why she suggested unmedicated.
- for first babe we had a counsellor meeting as well. This was manditory and it was great - not an evaluation, just gave us resources and info about telling our kids about AI.
- we did unmedicated IUIs. Day 1 (first day of period) we'd call the clinic to book appoint for day 10. From day 10 on we had ultrasounds and blood tests at the clinic each morning to watch for surge to know when to insem.
- at our clinic we did ONE insem. they called the afternoon before (when FSH surged in blood test) to book insem for the next day. DP was in the room with one DR (same for both our kids). The REs were really really wonderful folks. Same with the rest of the staff. We were able to hang out in the room afterwards as long as we wanted (laying down for 10min is supposed to be benefitial)
- getting started again for babe 2 was easy. No counselling, tests for me (DP carried first), then on to IUIs.
In total we bought 3 vials and ended up concieving with 2 of them. We stored them at the clinic. THey never charged us to do that but I think it was a fluke. We were told the sperm count before IUIs.
They were really really great there. We drove an hour to go, and would again even though we live closer to another bank now. they loved seeing our first daugther at appointments for our second :)
please feel free to PM for more info. I'm happy to tell you more about hte clinich and which one by PM.
ALso found Stephanie Brills book helpful. We did chart before hand but didn't chart while doing the IUIs
GOOD LUCk! :)

Rep. Sondra Erickson (R-Princeton) has filed to run for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 15A. Erickson currently serves
District 16A.
Erickson said her 2012 theme is "Keeping Minnesota on the Upswing" and that she will focus on policies to create jobs in the private sector in addition to promoting limited government, individual responsibility, fiscal restraint, free markets and excellence in education.
"I believe that a limited government will keep us free and protect our liberty," she said.
"During the 2011-2012 session the GOP-led legislature made remarkable progress in reforming government by limiting its scope and making it more effective and cost-efficient through agency and operation consolidation, state employee health-care audits and early detection of fraud.
Erickson believes that it is not good policy to raise taxes, especially on job-creators. "In fact, the best way to improve the economy is to get a grip on spending and reform the tax code (my 2011-12 flat tax proposal needs discussion)," she emphasized.
Reforms in pre-K-12 education must also dominate in 2012-2014 like they did in the past session, Erickson said. She pointed out that under her leadership, as chair of Education Policy/Reform, about 20 reforms – in both policy and funding – were signed into law by the governor.
The new district consists of all of Mille Lacs County, seven townships in Kanabec County including the city of Ogilvie, and two townships in Sherburne County – Blue Hill and Baldwin.
Erickson lives in Princeton Township. Her website is www.sondraerickson.com.

I've owned this Phoenix SEO company since 2001, but let it go stale because I spent years as a corporate SEO. Well, I'm no longer somebody else's executive. I'm my own boss now. So it makes sense that I knock the dust off of my old site and start taking clients again!
So far so good. Even with the old haggard design, I've been able to score a couple pretty cool clients. But I could always use more! No more flying solo and getting clients only by reputation. I'm gonna work that old site and see what we can do! It already ranks well, and it's and older site, so a little link building will go a long way.
Truth be told, I'm looking forward to competing again with some awesome companies out here and getting back into the mix.
Until recently, I forgot how fun it is to help *other* people make money on the web. As a self proclaimed "advanced web marketing" guy, it's exciting when I first get my hands on a new site or marketing campaign. There are always tweaks that are high impact and easy that make an immediate impact. Low hanging fruit all over the place.
So look out Arizona, I've flexed my muscles out in the big corporate world and I'm coming back to my roots. My first successful business on the web. MCP Media!
And BTW- it has a blog now. The Phoenix SEO Blog. So feel free to head over and give that mofo a little love eh?

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University women's basketball head coach Valecia Tedder has announced that Jessica Guarneri of Piscataway, N.J., has joined her staff as an assistant coach.
Guarneri's primary responsibilities will include recruiting, on-floor coaching, individual player workouts, pre- and post-season workouts, and helping in the area of academic support for team members.
Guarneri replaces Janna Magette, who left FMU to join the women's basketball staff at Charlotte.
Guarneri comes to Francis Marion after serving as a student assistant coach at Wingate University for the 2003-04 season.
She recently earned a B.S. degree in marketing from Wingate, where she was a Kodak/WBCA honorable mention All-American in 2003.
As a senior, she led Wingate and the South Atlantic Conference in scoring (19.5 ppg), rebounding (10.1 rpg), and field goal percentage (61.0%), while sharing the conference's "Player of the Year" award.
A 6-1 center, Guarneri played her first three collegiate seasons at UNC Asheville, scoring over 1,000 career points, twice earning first-team All-Big South Conference honors, and being selected to the Big South's All-Freshman Team in 2000.
Guarneri graduated from Piscataway High School, where she was a three-sport athlete (basketball, field hockey, and softball).
Over the past four summers, she has worked summer camps at Virginia Tech.
FMU returns six lettermen from last season's 14-13 squad that placed third in the final Peach Belt Conference's North Division standings.

Britney Spears premiered her big Vegas show entitled "Pieces Of Me" over the weekend, which apparently involves her crotch being attacked by a laser pointer at some point in the show. You'd think Brit would have dropped those extra pounds and returned to her old fighting weight, what with all the dancing shit it looks like she's doing in this thing. Or maybe she's leaving most of the dancing to her back up crew and spends her days counting the $15 million she's getting for this thing. And yes, that is Mario Lopez being dragged around the stage in bondage gear, because the spectacle of an overweight Britney sweating her way through dance routines wasn't enough to make you regret your ticket purchase.
Okay, jabs aside, I still wouldn't kick Britney out of bed, even in her present state. I've done far worse, believe me. She might not be anything like her old "Baby One More Time" days, but few of us who were alive then are. It just seems to me that if someone's giving you 15 mil for your time, you have plenty of motivation and resources to get yourself into shape before hand. If not for your own benefit, then at least for the fans, who I'm sure would have been much more keen to see something resembling the Britney of old.
Oh yeah, and look who else was there on this night, keeping it classy as usual.

Squish Of The Day: Cheetah Cubs Born At National Zoo
Oh, hello. Were you trying to get something done today? Too bad, because I've now thwarted your attempt at productivity with this too cute for words pic of a couple of baby cheetahs just born at the Smithsonian National Zoo. These little guys are the surviving two of the four that were born to their mama in late April. Sadly, their other brother and sister didn't make it. Right now, they're being hand-raised by zookeepers until they believe they can thrive on their own. That's important, because cheetahs are considered an endangered species — between 8,000 and 12,000 are believed to exist in the wild. [Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute]

text: So I'm wondering what you guys could recommend by looking at my profile and my portfolio as to what I could do to become more official, I'm ready to start spending many more hours per week on Audiojungle and producing stock music. I can produce any style of music, so what might I be missing, need more of, etc.? I've read the "how to promote yourself" and am planning my attack to implement those things, but live opinions are always great. Thanks everybody you guys are always so helpful.

Canare Damage Preventing Bulkhead Connectors!
Because ordinary panelmount BNC connectors are precariously exposed, they offer little protection from physical damage. To solve this problem, Canare has developed a unique recessed panelmount design that effectively protects the housed connector. (Mounting flange is the same size as a Canon XLR-F-77 connector).

Intense defense, timely free-throw shooting and a new hero every night have put the Pine Ridge Lady Thorpes one victory from leaving the Civic Arena with another championship plaque in hand.
Jumping to an early lead, the Lady Thorpes (22-1) fought off a frantic comeback attempt by West Central to post a 63-53 win in the semifinals of the state Class A girls basketball tournament Friday night in the Civic Arena.
Pine Ridge will battle with top-ranked and top-seeded Harrisburg tonight (Saturday) at 8 p.m. for the championship.
"We are excited to get the chance to play for the title and the girls have worked really hard to get to this point," said Pine Ridge coach Laura Big Crow. "We are never satisfied to just get here, we want to win and we have our chance."
The Civic Arena has been kind to the Pine Ridge basketball program. The Thorpes captured the Class A title in 2009, defeating Dell Rapids in the championship game. Big Crow said it will take another workman-like effort from her girls to win, but she expects nothing less.
"We will need to keep applying the pressure all over the floor and push the tempo against them (Harrisburg)," she said. "We have the luxury of a deep bench and we'll just keep bringing the defense."
The Lady Thorpes style of play isn't always pretty, but it has proven effective. Friday, they were able to build a quick lead that West Central never could overcome. Leading by as many as 14 points in the first half, Pine Ridge went to the intermission with a comfortable 33-20 cushion.
Offensively, Pine Ridge shot only 30 percent from the field, but more importantly, limited the Trojans to five field goals and a 19-percent shooting rate.
"The defense always sets the tone for us and sometimes it gets us in foul trouble, but we have that bench to turn to," said Pine Ridge guard Santana White Dress. "We just play our game and we have a lot of weapons to lean on."
White Dress, a 5-foot-8 junior, was one of three double-digit scorers for Pine Ridge Friday night, but it was her efforts on the boards and in the paint that helped her team repel West Central's fourth-quarter challenge.
Starting the game at the point, White Dress spent much of the second half in the paint battling with the bigger West Central players. She gathered in a dozen rebounds, half of them on the offensive board and set up a couple key hoops with her passing in the post.
"She was huge for us tonight down the stretch, playing different roles when we were getting in foul trouble," said Big Crow. "She is a talented player that can go inside or out and she proved it tonight."
Still trailing 46-35 after three quarters, West Central made a final charge cutting the lead to four (46-42) with six minutes to play.
Struggling from the free-throw line for the first three periods, the Lady Thorpes suddenly began warming to the task. They would drain 11 of 16 in the final three minutes to ice the win and their trip to the championship tilt.
"We knew we were going to need to shoot well from the line and they did it when they needed to," said Big Crow. "The girls just don't get rattled on the floor, they just stayed focused and kept playing hard."
Jolonna Sazue topped the scoring leaders for the Lady Thorpes with 15 points. Freshman Shaylene Richard, Thursday's hero, added 14 points and White Dress 12. Lynette Bettelyoun contributed 11 boards.
Pine Ridge finished 20-for-66 from the field and turned the ball over 16 times.
Hunter Mathieu fired in 18 points for the Trojans (19-6). Madison Kuehl chipped in with 12 and Kylie Hanisch 11. Makenna McDonald led the team with eight rebounds.
The Trojans heated up offensively in the second half, but still managed to deposit just 26 percent (15 of 58) of their field-goal attempts.
"We couldn't put the ball in the hole in the first half and it takes so much energy to come back from that," said West Central coach Joe Caffey.
"Give their defense a lot of credit too. They play a style that we just don't see during the season and it can be difficult to deal with."

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by MichaelWinicki, Aug 17, 2013.
It's not really about who he works for with me. It's about he doesn't really bring anything to analogies that %50 of this board can't bring.
shills are shills. You do know what they are, right?
I would not disagree. 50% of this board does an excellent job with their analyses, including RS. I just do not believe in disregarding anyone because of who they work for. I read this board all the time for the latest news and info, if I had more time I would post more.
I know the Arkin-Broaddus Axis drives the Fate of the Free World and the Fed's Monetary Policy, but I think its worth repeating a point about the big picture. Most (if not all) of last year's starters on the interior line are now backups. We were hoping Livings and Costa would be healthy and starting last year and they are solidly backups at the moment. I still think Waters signs and if he does, all three of last years starters are second string and Arkin is third string. And Arkin just held his own against a very solid player in Calais Campbell.
Just like MacMahon and Watkins are shills for ESPN. Their job is not to write informative stories, but to toss out explosive, click garnering, controversy generating statements regardless of truth. That's what their boss wants, because more clicks and more comments means more money. Pretty simple.
As far as guys like Broaddus and Eatman are concerned, I don't get how they could be called 100% shills, while taking opposite sides of a given story.
For example, Broaddus has been a Matt Johnson fan from day one, while Eatman mocks him continually. These guys probably have talking points they are supposed to hit,but I've heard them speak negatively enough about various guys to know that they are not required to tow the company line all the time.
What is RS?
Anyway, I think in general the way technology has made access to videos easy that we as fans have been able to notice talent as good as anyone.
It's like saying Congress is better at writing laws for the people than we are. That's not true. They're just in a position to do it. If it came down to it, we'd be better at making laws and writing laws that benefited us.
It's just like that with football. It's so easy to scope different players now. And, in general, half the people are smart enough to make legitimate analogies regarding players. I've always been impressed with the abilities of some on this board--others not so much.But for the most part, this board is pretty good at it.
Some are winded and believe quantity equals quality. One in particular comes to mind, but I haven't seen those posts as frequently lately.
In my view, this board has gotten even better through addition by subtraction.
Oh, OK.
I'm basing my assessment off of Broaddus' long history with the Cowboys. There are a few Cowboys fans in the media that do good job and I give them credit. I think Broaddus is a nice guy. I admire his love for the game. I just don't think he's special when it comes to player analysis. That's all.

You guys seem like a knowledgeable bunch, and I really need your help.
so heres my problem.
I boot up my computer today and up pops a message about my bootmbr being missing. I, figuring this was quite bad, stuck in the ol' vista installation disk to run a startup repair. It does its thing, says its successful and tells me to reboot. I do, and get a new message at startup, saying,
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause...
File: \Windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe
Status: 0xc0000428
Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature of this file"
So I figure I'm getting somewhere, load the disk repair, and I get "Startup repair could not repair the problem." along with other steps i should take to "send it to microsoft"() So now i run commands like chkdsk /p,bootmbr,bootfix (I've done this before). NONE of these do a darn thing to solve my problem. (Ive done the F8 thing with the load drivers w/o signatures; didnt work.)
So, I figure i should take matters into my own hands. So i open up a CMD, and copy a ntkrnlpa.exe from my install disk and replace it with the one on my hard drive. Logical? I thought so. But same results. Except for one thing, when the repair thing runs again, the details say that the file "pshed.dll" is corrupt. I replace this one, doesnt work, and then says the ntoskrnl.exe is corrupt too.... I replace this one as well, but this one has remained corrupt. I sometimes get a new message when running the startup repair. System volume on disk is corrupt. But other times I get "Boot status indicates that the OS booted successfully."
So Ive pretty much used all I can think of, short of booting BartPE and copying my important files and reinstalling. One more thing that happened. Last night (when everything was running smoothly) diskeeper did a boot time defrag. I think something went wrong and this is what is causing all this trouble.
