Charlie Neibergall, Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich said he supports a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians that includes two separate states, but he did not step back Saturday from his assertion that Palestinians are an "invented" people, an incendiary comment that infuriated one side in the Mideast peace process.
The burden to show a willingness to reach a peace accord with the Israelis lies squarely with the Palestinians, he said.
"When the president keeps talking about a peace process while Hamas keeps firing missiles into Israel, if we had a country next to us firing missiles, how eager would we be to sit down and negotiate?" Gingrich told a veterans forum in Des Moines, before participating in a nationally televised debate with six other GOP candidates vying for the presidential nomination.
Palestinian officials reacted furiously on Saturday to Gingrich's assertion, accusing the Republican presidential hopeful of incitement and staging a "cheap stunt" to court the Jewish vote.
The remarks struck at the heart of Palestinian sensitivities about the righteousness of their struggle for an independent state and put him at odds not only with the international community but with all but an extremist fringe in Israel. Mainstream Israelis, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, support the idea of an independent Palestine alongside Israel as part of a final peace agreement.
As Gingrich has risen to lead in national and early-voting-state polls, he has come under criticism from his party rivals for making inflammatory statements. The Palestinian comments intensified that scrutiny with less than four weeks until Iowa's precinct caucuses kick off the nominating contests on Jan. 3.
In footage released Friday, the former House speaker told the Jewish Channel, a U.S. cable TV network, that the Palestinians were an "invented people."
"Remember, there was no Palestine as a state — (it was) part of the Ottoman Empire. I think we have an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs and historically part of the Arab community and they had the chance to go many places," Gingrich said according to a video excerpt posted online.
Gingrich sought to clarify his position later Saturday, saying in Iowa that he supports a negotiated peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, including a Palestinian state.
In a statement, Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond said that "to understand what is being proposed and negotiated you have to understand decades of complex history — which is exactly what Gingrich was referencing."
"Newt Gingrich supports a negotiated peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, which will necessarily include agreement between Israel and the Palestinians over the borders of a Palestinian state," Hammond said in the statement.
Those latest comments appeared unlikely to calm the uproar among Palestinian officials.
The Palestinian Prime Minister, Salam Fayyad, demanded that Gingrich "review history."
"From the beginning, our people have been determined to stay on their land," Fayyad said in comments reported by the Palestinian news agency Wafa. "This, certainly, is denying historical truths."
Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, accused Gingrich of incitement. "Mark my words ... these statements of Gingrich's will be the ammunitions and weapons of the bin Ladens and the extremists for a long, long time," Erekat told CNN.
The Palestinians have never had an independent state of their own. The region was ruled by the Ottomans for several centuries, and when the Ottoman Empire collapsed after World War I, the British took control of the area. It was known as the British Mandate for Palestine, and Muslims, Christians and Jews living there were all referred to as Palestinians.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Major record labels have targeted about 300 companies whose computers were allegedly used by employees to illegally download and distribute music.
Letters sent out in the last week by the Recording Industry Association of America warned employees and employers might be subjected to "significant legal damages."
The campaign is the association's first systematic effort to ferret out pirates on corporate computer networks. The record labels have made a similar effort to enlist universities in the fight against file-sharing piracy, which thrives on the kind of high-speed Internet connections prevalent in schools and workplaces.
The recording association declined to name the companies that received letters, but said some of them had gotten previous warnings. The letters went to technology companies, health care firms and manufacturers, the RIAA said.
The RIAA's action drew protest from the Information Technology Association of America, a trade group representing Microsoft Corp., IBM Corp., and more than 400 other companies.
"When corporations are trying to protect themselves from major hackers and terrorists ... trying to do serious damage to their networks, I don't know that they want to spend their time chasing down a half-dozen employees who like to trade old Rolling Stones songs," said the group's president, Harris Miller.
Copyright law experts said companies might be liable for piracy on their networks if they know about it but don't do anything. It's unclear whether companies are obligated to police their networks and remove unauthorized copies before they're asked to do so.

Revised Autograph Policy
Monday, 16 May 2016 01:57
Beginning in 2016, all Guests at Anime North will have the option of charging for autographs. The convention does not require them to charge or set prices or sales targets. Anime North will not be taking any cut of autograph sales for itself, but we do ask that if guests sell autographs, a portion of the proceeds be donated to our charity, Sick Kids Hospital.
We cannot announce at this time which guests may choose to sell autographs, or how much they may charge. If any guest provides that info and asks us to share it with the public, we will.
There will still be guest panels and Q&As for congoers to enjoy seeing and interacting with all of our guests without paying extra.
Why Is This Happening?
This change is something the organizers of Anime North had hoped to avoid, but the nature of conventions, fandom, and the collectibles market has changed over the years since we first started. The rise of "comicons" and trade show media cons has created and fed a market for autographs. Throughout the convention world, charging for autographs has become expected.
In recent years, Anime North's reluctance to accept this change has begun to limit the selection of guests who we could attract. We have had many wonderful guests who are willing to provide free autographs, but in order to continue bringing in a wide range of popular guests that our attendees want to see, we must adapt.
On the personal front, guests are being asked to spend more and more time away from home to satisfy the fans by appearing at shows. Many guests who gave free autographs found them being resold online. Guests have the same need to make a living and pay bills that everyone else does and even when they do charge, that doesn't mean they no longer appreciate the love and support of their fans or that they are not happy to see them even when they choose not to buy an autograph.

Teaching kids to eat healthfully starts with smart shopping.Supermarkets are recognizing Americans' interest in healthy eating and there are plenty of healthy, yummy foods in almost every aisle of your market. Use our guide to get the kids involved in navigating the store aisles to find the healthy stuff. It can be fun and will help them develop healthy eating patterns for life.
Cereal Aisle
It's no secret that prime real estate in the cereal aisle is at children's eye level, so they can easily spot the sugary cereals and beg Mom and Dad to buy them. Try to resist— there are plenty of healthier options that still satisfy a sweet tooth. Be sure to look for whole- grain cereals high in fiber—5 grams or more—or cereals that have less than 9 grams of sugar per serving.
Dairy Section
Choose low-fat dairy options over whole milk and full-fat varieties; they usually have all the same nutrients and benefits without all the fat. Individual packs of cottage cheese and yogurt make great snacks, as do low-fat string cheese and individually wrapped cheese squares. Yogurts can be high in added sugar, so be sure to read the label and pick those with little added sugar. Take advantage of lunchtime as a great opportunity to give your kids natural sources of calcium.
Juice Aisle
Only buy 100% juice and avoid other beverages that include such ingredients as "high-fructose corn syrup," "artificial color" and "artificial flavor."
Frozen Section
Bags of frozen fruit and vegetables can come in handy when you're out of fresh produce. Pack a small container of frozen berries alongside a cup of yogurt for a quick mix-in. Frozen veggies in a quick stir-fry at dinner can be packed for an easy lunch the next day.
Produce Section
Go for variety. Buying the fruit and vegetables your children like assures that they'll eat plenty of them but what about trying the ones they've never even heard of? How about jicama, papaya, tomatillos, mango or even artichokes? It's always a good idea to look for what's in season: it will be fresher and may even pack in some extra nutrients. Prewashed and peeled veggies, such as mini carrots or celery sticks, make great snacks.
Apples, pears, peaches, oranges and bananas are lunchbox-ready, but any fruit is easy to pack—simply cut it up and put it into little single-serving containers.

I have the otterbox which is great againt drops and bumps. I plan on upgrading as soon as the iphone 5 comes out and I'll get the lifeproof at that point.

Has anyone actually gone surfing with one of these yet? I'm in the process of rebuilding a water damaged iPhone 4 that I scored thinking I was going to buy a LifeProof. I was buying some parts from A-plus Elc. and the guys who work there said, don't do it, that they see a couple of water damaged phones a week due to LifeProof cases. User error maybe? Perhaps they were exaggerating. Maybe it's the same guy every time, I did see a Fisker Karma on my street today, people have more money 'n sense round here. I mean an electric, eco-friendly muscle car? Ha, you think all that Chinese Lithium is mined in an environmentally responsible manner? You ever wonder why they invaded Tibet? It wasn't cause they hated Budhism.
\nTangent, the iPhone wouldn't be a great loss, I'm into this thing 20$ an I still have my ol' Evo; but it's been a pain. I had to order a T1 torx wrench off the interwebs and some 4.3mm screws Philips so I could ditch the pentalobes. Couldn't buy either local, in a town of 3mil. So after all this BS, I'm not too keen about droppin' 6-7 times (case, head phones, armband) what i've put into the phone itself on something that'll cause salt water damage, which is a killer.
\nSo, besides some YouTube vids of people using these, anybody on this board surf with one regularly? I have to wear ear plugs to surf, swim laps, etc. There might as well be tunes coming out of them.

i have the case. i have put it under water so many times and have taken videos under the pool with it. I recently recieved the lifeproof lifejacket so that i can now surf and take videos or pictures with it. i will post pictures once i take a few. i threw my phone in my pool with the lifejacket on and my friend called me while it was in the middle of the pool. and if anything does happen to my phone. then its my fault and for trying thats all.

Thanks man. Good testimonial. Letting some connectors dry off right now. Post some pics. Still want one from someone who surfs with the thing.

Has anyone noticed a decrease in audio quality or volume using the case? I noticed a huge difference in audio quality when using the speaker phone with the Otterbox. The case really muffled my speech for the person I was talking to. People would always complain they couldn't hear me. I'm just wondering if it's the same for Lifeproof.

There isn't too much audio distortion with the life proof, what i usually do it open the charging door of the case when talking on speaker to allow the audio to not be so muffled. I have had the Lifeproof since it first came out and while the company had some problems in the beginning due to high demand and limited production i am still very pleased.
\nLet me tell you these cases are amazing. Being forgetful as i am i set my phone on the front bumper of my truck and forgot about it. Got to work to realize i didn't have my phone, so I thought for a second, then shear panic took over. Re traced my steps and found it sitting on the road. I ran over it with my 1/2 ton pickup truck and who knows how many other cars ran it over too. Picked up the phone which was faced down, expecting to see my iphone in pieces. To my surprise nothing wrong, the case didn't survive, but the phone did without a single scratch!! So was it worth the $80? You tell me!

darippah, 2 questions:
1) Do you think it would fit in a regular sport band ? I've never had a phone come out of one and I use mine at the gym or when running every day. My EVO in an Otterbox is a super tight fit.
2) How well does it take a good wipe out? Slowly driving over it with a truck is different than a 15-20 mph impact. I think kite surfing must be a good test for these things durability.
'; pd[137349] = '
\nIt should fit in a sport band made for a bigger phone.
\ndurability- this case isnt meant to resit crushing it with a truck. Its really just a piece of sort of rubbery plastic. that being said It definitely can handle anything the ocean will throw at it- just dont take it scuba diving. Just make sure you have it secured properly!
\nTo clarify my last post, the phone stays in the armband really well. its the armband that falls off from the impact as its only held by thin velcro

I took an iPhone 4 protected by a Lifeproof case, out 5 times on Saturday and Sunday. Swell was 2-3', a lil' 3-4' mixed in, so pretty mellow. Call it maybe 8-10 hours of water time. I used the Lifeproof armband and H2O Audio Surge Contact headphones.
Long story short - the phone is still dry and functions.
Couple of things I'm not crazy about:
1) Armband – One size does not fit all. Barely fits on my left bicep, doesn't fit on my right at all, never knew I was that asymmetrical. I'm still skinnin' it these days, but those days are numbered and using this thing with a wetsuit is out of the question. If your guns are bigger than 15-16" this thing is going to feel like a boa constrictor, might need to lay off the bull shark testosterone injections for a while.
2) H20 earbuds – Not as good an audio quality as Klipsch or Bose, but that's a fair trade-off. Wire is a pain in the arse to deal with while surfing. Worked as well as my Mack's silicon earplugs at keeping the water out, same rule as the Mack's though, put 'em in dry, leave 'em alone. Pull it out wet and try to put 'em back in and the seal isn't as good.
3) Pictures and video – You pretty much are going to need to pull this thing off the arm mount to do either.
4) Too Much Sh!1 - More crap to keep track of, clean, dry and deal with every time you use it. Surf naked.
1) Duck diving, paddling, take offs, pop ups and maneuvers were no problem. If you're used to running or riding or anything else with a sport band, you will be completely ready for this. Earbuds stayed in and the phone stayed on the armband.
2) I had music. While surfing and it wasn't blaring from a 1500W PA system on the beach. Wow.
3) Photos – Popped it off the armband and snapped a couple of pics of the sunset in between sets on Saturday. Picture quality is real nice.
Since I'm using an iPhone 4 I rebuilt, I haven't gotten the ESN switched from my current phone to it and I hate going to the AT&T store. I might not ever and may just continue using this thing as an over-glorified 20$ iPod. So, I have no idea what call quality is like. I'm still pretty leery about the whole thing and not 100% convinced. The case definitely seems like it has a finite life cycle. The seals are silicone rubber, which does wear down over time. I've never tried to rebuild a phone with salt water damage, one can only do so much. Irrecoverable loss of data keeps me up at night. I sure as h-e-double hockey stix ain't gonna take this rig out in any decent sized or super short interval swell, but it's a pretty nice addition to little, summer surf. If you back up your phone all the time, aren't worried about losing data and can shell out for a new phone whenever you want, or think voiding warranties, ignoring warning signs and getting past security counter-measures are all part of a good time, well this might be for you.

The New South Wales Court of Appeal is the highest civil state court for the Australian state of New South Wales. It forms part of the Supreme Court of New South Wales and hears appeals from civil proceedings before the Supreme Court, the District Court, the Land and Environment Court, and some tribunals.
Although the New South Wales Court of Appeal commenced operation on 1 January 1966 with the appointment of the President, Sir Gordon Wallace, and six Judges of Appeal, Bernard Sugerman, Charles McLelland, Cyril Walsh, Kenneth Jacobs, Kenneth Asprey and John Holmes Dashwood, the Court of Appeal was established in 1965, replacing the former appellate Full Court of the New South Wales Supreme Court.[1] The advent of the Court of Appeal was controversial, as it introduced another order and unexpectedly uprooted the established order of hierarchy and seniority among judges of the New South Wales Supreme Court.[1]
The Court of Appeal consists of the chief justice, the president of the Court of Appeal and nine judges of appeal. There are currently 11 judges of appeal with current commissions. However, two of them, Justice Hoeben and Justice McClellan, are not operating full-time as judges of appeal. Justice Hoeben is chief judge at common law.[2] Justice McClellan is chairing a Royal Commission.[3] Currently these positions are filled by:[4]
- Tom Bathurst (Chief Justice) (1 June 2011)
- Margaret Beazley (President) (1996; President from 2013)
- Ruth McColl (29 April 2003)
- John Basten (2 May 2005)
- Robert Macfarlan (2008)
- Anthony Meagher (10 August 2011)
- Julie Ward (2012; Supreme Court: 2008)
- Fabian Gleeson (29 April 2013)
- Mark Leeming (3 June 2013)
- Carolyn Simpson (11 June 2015; Supreme Court: 1994)
- Anthony Payne (30 March 2016)
Most judges in the Court of Appeal also sit on the Court of Criminal Appeal in varying degrees of frequency. The Chief Judge at Common Law, Clifton Hoeben, and the Chief Judge in Equity, Patricia Bergin, also sit on the Court of Appeal (and the Court of Criminal Appeal) from time to time. There are also three current Acting Justices of Appeal: Reginald Ian Barrett, Ronald Sackville, and Arthur Emmett.
The Court of Appeal operates pursuant to the Supreme Court Act 1970 (NSW). The Court hears appeals from a variety of courts and tribunals in New South Wales, in particular the Supreme Court and the District Court. The Court of Appeal must grant leave to appeal a judgment of an inferior court, before it hears the appeal proper. Special leave to appeal is required to appeal a judgment from the Court of Appeal to the High Court of Australia. Because special leave is only granted by the High Court under certain conditions, the Court of Appeal is in effect a court of final appeal for many matters.

The table-topping Foxes won all five of their league matches during the month, scoring 12 goals in the process.
The 50-year-old saw off competition from Nottingham Forest's Billy Davies, Sheffield Wednesday manager Stuart Gray and QPR boss Harry Redknapp to win the prize.
Pearson told the club's official website: "I'm really pleased to have won the award, but I recognise individual accolades such as this as a group achievement, as you can only be a success in a team sport through collective endeavour.
"The players and backroom staff deserve an awful lot of credit for the results we have achieved in the last few weeks, but it's vital now that we focus on the months ahead and achieving our main objective this season, which is promotion."

NEW YORKERS & CO.; Language Schools Count More On Bonjour
By MARCIA BIEDERMAN
Published: September 20, 1998
USING pictures, pointing and pantomime, Margarita Gutierrez, an instructor at Berlitz International's language center on Rector Street, recently taught a visitor the Spanish words for ''ballpoint pen,'' ''briefcase'' and ''part-time job.'' But when the subject was computers, she had to violate Berlitz's policy of speaking only Spanish in a Spanish lesson. She used the English word ''Internet'' because it is used everywhere, she said.
The same phenomenon that confronted Ms. Gutierrez has long stoked Berlitz and other businesses like it. The global spread of English has provided the city's commercial language schools with a steady stream of foreign students eager to master it. Americans associate Berlitz with the ''total immersion'' courses in French and German popular in the 1960's, but the company's growth in recent years has owed more to the hunger for English, said John F. Bennett, Northeastern regional director. His statement was echoed by officials at other language schools.
Now, however, economic turmoil in Asia has slowed the enrollment of foreign students from Korea and Japan. ''Some schools have been wiped out in the past year or so because they depended purely on teaching students from Korea,'' said Michael Riley, director of marketing for Rennert Bilingual on East 45th Street.
As a consequence, some schools have been shifting their focus to languages other than English, which for many had been a less important part of their business. While this retrenchment is hardly good news for the country's language schools, the ones in New York can at least see a silver lining.
In New York, the strong local economy and enthusiasm for multiculturalism -- among people who can afford to pay for language lessons -- have helped companies pick up the slack.
''People here are open to other cultures,'' Mr. Bennett said. ''They like opera, they like foreign restaurants, they travel more than people in Cleveland.'' The city also has a supply of French and Chinese buffs, said Bernard Madon, director of the Language Learning Center on East 40th Street. ''They want to learn it with no intention of using it.''
New York's abundance of headquarters for multinational companies also gives city language schools a leg up. For-profit schools, which generally focus on the high end of the employee market, can sell individual instruction for upward of $35 an hour and fill up classes that are much smaller and more expensive than those given by colleges or nonprofit institutions.
At Berlitz, a worldwide company which is by far the leader among New York language schools, with one-third of the market, about 40 percent of the tuition is paid by employers. The proportion is growing, said Erin Giordano, a Berlitz marketing associate. At Accent on Language, which has corporate accounts with banks that do business in Brazil, the rolls for Portuguese lessons have grown 25 percent since 1996, while the number of English students has declined 50 percent, said Elio Boccitto, the company's owner.
Studying foreign languages is often a more lighthearted endeavor than studying English. Many foreign students of English are very serious, some being required by immigration laws to study 20 hours a week. English speakers studying other languages are more dilettantish, pleased to attain the high-beginner level at which they can get around in their second language, but not ''like Henry Kissinger,'' Mr. Bennett said.
That level of skill is enough to please many employers. Selena Morris, a spokeswoman for Merrill Lynch, said her company offered optional language lessons, usually through Berlitz, to overseas-bound employees as part of an ''expat package.'' But a rudimentary knowledge is all that is needed, she said, because Merrill Lynch business worldwide is conducted in English.
So the schools gear various programs for ''lite'' language learning. At Rennert Bilingual, there are wine-and-cheese parties where students are required to socialize in the languages they are studying.
This technique may be particularly apt because many students, business executives or not, are learning the foreign language for social reasons, Mr. Riley said. ''Suzy Q might have an Italian boyfriend and she wants to get better acquainted with his family,'' he said.
An important growth area for Berlitz is its Cross-Cultural Training program for employees who are relocating and, equally important, for their families. (''Companies have found that unhappy families are the leading cause of unsuccessful assignments abroad,'' Berlitz says in its advertising materials.)
The program does not teach language, but rather manners and other useful knowledge for those going overseas. Berlitz students will learn that red roses are far too romantic to bring to a Swiss dinner party, and that asking an Arab man even routine questions about his wife may be frowned upon.
And the Language Learning Center, which is strong in French, Russian and Mandarin Chinese, matches students who are studying one another's primary language. These language pairs meet outside class time and some have even married each other, Mr. Madon said. Occasionally, he added, one person so dominates the conversation that the partner asks to be switched to someone else.
Richard Huarte, director of studies at the Inlingua Language Centers on Fifth Avenue and on Pine Street, said his school, which is second to Berlitz in its share of the New York market, has also used some of these techniques. Many other schools have, too.
Besides these special features, some schools peddle foreign language instruction as necessary for business even though English is now global. While an overseas business meeting may start out in English, a Berlitz brochure warns, ''as the discussion becomes intense, people revert to their native language to express their true feelings and opinions.''
Even though foreign language instruction is now helping these businesses through hard times, Mr. Boccitto said, it is a mature industry in the United States. That is why, he said, Berlitz paid $95 million last September for ELS Education Services, which specializes in English instruction. It may also be why Berlitz's first expansion in decades in the city, to a center in Flushing that opened in January, is intended primarily for the teaching of English.
Future growth in the industry will come from people yearning to speak English, said Mr. Boccitto, who served as president of Berlitz International until 1993. That is, if ''we can survive these little hiccups,'' he added, referring to the Asian crisis.

text: This plugin does an amazing job of filtering the activity stream, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to apply the same sort of filter setting to the Blogs menu of each user's profile, and on the Blogs Directory page, where in both cases blogs are not listed in Buddypress unless the privacy settings are set to "Google-able". It would be nice if the blogs that were set to the top three settings (google-able, public but search engines blocked, and visible to network members) allowed the site to be listed within the network. Perhaps for this logic to work, there should be a check to ensure that the main domain (where buddypress is active) is public or private to the network.

Yes, the 2 rears 19x9 and the spares 19x8. The fronts have seen better days... But even with bend and smudge, they still hold air.
All wheels could used to be refinished, especially if you want them...
Sure I can dismount tires.. I'll scrap the other wheels if you don't want'em... Looking to clean out my garage, figured I'd give option. Let me know what you're interested in.

Anyone have hints for getting clean PDF output from PROC SGPLOT (and similar functions like SGSCATTER)?
When I create a graph and write it to a PDF with ODS, the result looks fine in the sas EG report window but the PDF output gets rasterized to the DPI setting of the PDF so if you zoom into the PDF you can make out pixelation. Additionally, if I don't define colors/line styles, the output in the PDF will use different colors and styles (lines that were solid in the sas report window become dashed in the PDF).
If I make the same chart with PROC GPLOT, it comes with vectorized text and lines that don't look like junk when zoomed/printed.
Is there an option I need to change? Some flag I need to set? I've tried things like
OPTIONS DEVICE=SVG and it doesn't seem to work. Setting a really high DPI isn't a very good solution either.
Code Example (but really, this happens on all of the SG* functions with any data/code):
options nonumber orientation=landscape;
ods pdf file='FILENAME.pdf' notoc;
proc sgplot data=shipped;
series x=date y=weighted_price / group=type;
proc gplot data=shipped;
plot weighted_price*date=type;
symbol1 c=blue i=join v=none w=1 l=1;
symbol2 c=red i=join v=none w=1 l=1;
symbol3 c=brown i=join v=none w=1 l=1;
run; ods pdf close;
These produce roughly equivalent graphs in the sas EG results window (except the SGPLOT looks nicer) but when they end up in the pdf, the SGPLOT is rasterized to an image and dropped onto the PDF page while the GPLOT comes out as a lovely vector chart.
EDIT: See solutions I posted below. I didn't find it to be well documented, but SAS 9.2 did not have very good PDF support. There are a couple of workarounds that are ok for a 1-off chart, but the best solution is to just upgrade to SAS 9.3.

After refugees, radicalism and border skirmishes, Jordan is now facing a new spillover from Syria's civil war: assassinations.
Maher Khaled al-Rahal, a leader of the Free Syrian Army, was shot dead in an alley on Friday on the outskirts of Amman. Jordanian police have not yet identified the gunman, who shot Mr al-Rahal five times with a pistol.
While Jordan, a long-term ally of Britain and the West, has sought to help the rebel movement and is sheltering hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees, King Abdullah fears that the civil war on its border will ignite sectarian conflict at home

Hi, i would like to know how to add javascript code from google analytics to track conversion every time that someone click to submit button. Thank you ;)
Hi, i would like to know how to add javascript code from google analytics to track conversion every time that someone click to submit button. Thank you ;)
thank you, i've committed an error, i meant google adwords conversions, sorry and thank you for the answer.
I also need to know how to make Google ADWORDS conversion tracking work with Contact Form 7.
I understand that you can call javascript functions with the on_sent_ok parameter in the Contact Form admin settings.
What I need are step-by-step instructions:
1. where do I put the conversion tracking code provided by Google Adwords? This is 20 lines of code.
Can I somehow put this into the on_sent_ok field? If not, how to do it?
I've read that page but I think it was written before Google Analytics started using their asynchronus code.
Does the code to set this up change if I'm using asynchronus analytics code on my site?
Tracking Form Submissions with Google Analytics
Note: If you use newer version of the tracking code, you need to run this code instead:
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/mysite/thank-you.html']);
So nothing about on_sent_ok ?
I would like to know solution for this also!
on_sent_ok:"_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/mysite/thank-you.html']);" did not work.
Is it with or without on_sent_ok: ?
I would also like to know how to add the javascript code for conversion tracking on google adwords.
Can we enter more than one line of Java after the on_sent_ok tag?
For example, setting up one conversion with Ad Words requires entering the following Java into the 'thank you' page:
