Have you tried changing the email address that is assigned to the ticket?
Edit it to be the correct one and that should stop the loopback

Hi, my websites has 4 pages which follows "noindex" tags. Just want to know that is it possible to track these pages using Google Analytics.

If someone reaches these pages by indexed pages.

Yes, the Google analytics code runs regardless, but, that also tips Google off to those pages.
If you really wanted to keep these sort of private - why not just analyze the log files of the web server directly, rather than rely on a 3rd party?

Have you thought about using tags? Google's Tag Manager works nicely with Analytics.

Is there anyone who can provide me the link to know more about Google Analytics implementation?
Please share from your experience, don't copy and paste from Google searching.

Last week, I watched a movie called the Artist. It was a very unique movie certainly. It came out in 2012, and it was the first silent film since 1974, when the spoof movie "Silent Film" came out. It is also black and white. More importantly (sort of), it won an Oscar for Best Picture in the 2011 Academy Awards. Minor spoilers ahead, but nothing major to the plot.
I personally did not really enjoy this movie enough to where I think it deserves an Oscar. The storyline was a little confusing, and the simple fact that no one talks (until the end) made it difficult to pick up on a lot of aspects of the story. I still understood it fine though. However, the acting in the movie, especially by the main character and John Goodman, was excellent. John Goodman is amazing in everything, and although we do not hear his awesome voice throughout the movie (until the end), he is still great. The soundtrack is decent as well, it seemed to fit the scenes well.
The Artist was not a bad movie. It is the best serious silent film I have seen so far (although I have only seen 3 or 4 total). I'm giving The Artist 6.4/10.

Apple dealt another blow in Russia: third major carrier quits selling iPhone, signs with Samsung
0. phoneArena posted on 12 Jul 2013, 04:33
Make no mistake - Apple iPhones are popular in Russia and just as in any developing nation they are considered more than just a phone, but also a status symbol…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

No I did not say that. I think that it is a bad move to get rid of a popular device that consumers want and it will make their subscription-based go down and yes apple does often have harsh demands, yet most usually profit.
41. Reluctant_Human (Posts: 904; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
I agree darkjedi but out of the big three they are the last to drop Apple. It's not like the customers can say I'm going to switch my contract to get a subsidy, you can only get it retail. Now the carriers get the double benefit of not having to pay for subsidy or have adhere to Apples very strict conditions. Those that still want an iPhone will have to buy it retail and the carriers reap all the benefits. It's a really messed up win win for the carriers. The only benefit to the customer is that the used iPhone market is going to sky rocket so when it comes time to resell and they're going to get a nice chunk of money back if they want to upgrade.
55. darkkjedii (Posts: 24974; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
That's a good point. I agree
43. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
And that's why most carriers put up with it. Doesn't make Apple's tactics any better, all it does is justify their draconian stance towards the carriers. While it's great the iPhone never has carrier bloatware because they refuse to bend in that manner, they could at least help with the pricing so carriers aren't forced into decisions like the one made in this article.
51. tedkord (Posts: 14151; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
The article states that the iPhone had an 8.4% share, and dropping. I don't think the carriers have to much to worry about.

35. tomn1ce (Posts: 229; Member since: 12 Mar 2012)
Why is that, because they refuse to sale the iphone which is actually eating up their profit? Their goal is to make as much profit as possible and all these 3 Russian wireless carriers are doing are cutting ties with a product which is not helping them make a profit.

Is anybody really surprised at this..... we knew there'd eventually be a backlash from the industry as other manufacturers became as popular as Apple.

Apple should realize that its not in the dominant position it was in 2008 when they laid out the terms.. apart from the US i dont see Apple in a dominant position anywhere else in the world.. and yes.. THIS IS A BIG BLOW FOR APPLE.. Specially when they are going to release a cheap phone as well.. Maybe they think that when they do come out with the low cost iPhone the carriers will beg them again for selling the device.. i dont think that will be the case though.

27. specialedition99 (Posts: 2; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
Apple has got the IOS UI covered with IOS 7. Now they should stop making 2 or 1 phone a year and go ahead with several phones in seizes and prices. That is the only way out if they wana take up the fight, the rest of the competition just makes too many phones a year and then the compare to apple.

How I love mother Russia! They are smart and right. Apple being too damn harsh/strict with its sale program.

32. Dion25 (Posts: 42; Member since: 25 Jul 2012)
This will create a frenzy in Russia. Ppl always desire what they cannot have so easy. I'm betting the Black Market, Stolen IPhones, and Auction Sites like Ebay all see a surge in Russia due to low supply high demand.
53. roscuthiii (Posts: 2244; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
They've had steadily swindling market share. This isn't the first carrier to drop the product. They're basically telling people they can't have what they already either don't care about, or don't want.
With Apple about to release their cheaper iPhone verison, this is a pretty big blow to them.
40. Topcat488 (Posts: 1396; Member since: 29 Sep 2012)
I can do things on a OG-Note that the iphone 5 can not do.!. Multi-Window tasking, just to name one... I would guess the Russian carriers are switching to Samsung, because the people found that out too.

I live in a developing nation..MEXICO....and I can asure you iphone is far from being a status simbol anymore....that was maybe a couple of years ago,here in mexico anyone can have a free iphone on contract...I would say people who think a phone can be a status simbol are just airheads....unless we are talking a dimond wrapped one!!!!

Every carrier should boycott Apple. I have no idea how they allowed Apple that much power before but it should have never happened. Apple getting all the huge profit margins and all the carriers get is people coming into their stores to buy accessories? Why did carriers even agree that in the first place?
Apple rapes everyone because they can. About time people begin to stand up to them. Except HTC who still let's them rape them by giving them money for each phone sold. Lol
61. roscuthiii (Posts: 2244; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
In another big blow to Apple... The US won it's e-book price fixing case against Apple.
I dunno, maybe I missed the article here on PA or maybe they just forgot to cover it. But, I've seen it in the news elsewhere - 2 days ago.
62. Dingy_cellar_dweller (Posts: 265; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
When Apple release their new iphone, how many do you think they are going to sell at full price since everyone expects a free one on a plan.
Then with no more carrier support for the new model, their's a good chance it won't work properly as you know how Apple likes to change standard protocols.
67. marioellobo (Posts: 44; Member since: 20 Mar 2013)
they think that just for the price people is going to assume that's the new one have apple heard about internet ? just my opinion.

Right now I have the evo 3d. Support for it was really good, actually still 2 or 3 developers working with it, so I'm running kitkat on it right now, which has kept me from feeling the need to upgrade right away.
Anyway, like a lot of other people I'm deciding between the m8 and s5, I might wait a little longer just to see what LG drops. I'm not too familiar with how developer friendly the Galaxy line of phones are, specifically the Sprint models. I've read varying opinions from there's little development outside of some TW roms to development is strong.
Developer support is a big deciding factor for me since it can really allow you to prolong the life of your phone, hence why I'm still using my evo 3d, though it's falling apart now and showing its age so its time to finally bite the bullet and upgrade.
Not asking anyone to predict the future on how dev support will be for the s5 but just looking for input on how it's been for the previous Galaxy phones just so I have some idea. Talking TW roms as well as AOSP roms.

I've seen some ideas floating around about possibly including a Hunter's Guild or "Marks system" of some sort, like the one in Final Fantasy XII, so I decided to write out some ideas about how it might work. This is just speculation and brainstorming on my part, so feel free to discuss it and share your own ideas, and criticize or praise mine as you see fit.
New Trade skill Hunter's Guild - Designed at its core to be very much like the other trade skills, with levels that raise by performing guild related tasks, and being able to do better guild related things at higher levels, but focused on hunting monsters rather than crafting/fishing/mining type things. Basically, it would work like the system in FFXII, where you commission a hunt by checking a notice board in a pub, accepting the hunt, finding the NPC who posted the hunt on the board, confirming quest details, then finding and defeating the enemy, then returning to the NPC for your reward. But it would be modified somewhat to work well with a MMO environment.
1. Find the Guild Hall (perhaps have one in every town instead of only in a certain town for easier access; could make it a story related thing to add to the depth like it did in FFXII; like the governments of the world support it as a way to keep Notorious Monsters and the like under control since they can be a threat to people, and alleviate the stress of having to spend government money and taxes to send soldiers, so they supported the forming of the guild as a separate independent organization in the world, kind of like the Tenshodo in FFXI, to allow adventurers privileges to hunt them instead) and talk to the Guild Master NPC to join.
2. Once you are in, go find a notice board in a pub or public place. Unlike in FFXII, perhaps the notice boards would not have the same marks on each one, to encourage people to explore the other towns, and it would also make sense, one mark might not really affect people in another town as much, and the locals would only post it locally. But there could be really bad marks that either a particularly desperate client wanted gone so bad that he posted it on every notice board he could find, or that affect all the towns, or maybe the governments are having trouble and they posted a request themselves, that can be found on most/any notice board.
3. Find an NM that you want to kill. Information would be sketchy. Level of the NM and difficulty, etc., would not be shown. You'd have to use your own judgment. Maybe some subtle hints could be given in the NPC's request, and perhaps more when you talk to the NPC in person, but nothing would be known for certain, you'd have to see for yourself. However, depending on your level (or "progress") some NMs may not appear on the list for you. Or maybe they appear, but the client will turn you down, not believing you can handle it, until you get to a greater level of advancement.
4. Once the client accepts you, details known by the client will be given to you. "I was attacked in this area at this location" or "I saw it near -insert area related landmark here like a waterfall or something-" "but it seems to appear only in rainy weather" or something similar to this. In other words, some would be already waiting at a designated spot where it likes to prowl, others would be hidden and require special conditions to be met before it appears. Could be anything, the weather, other monsters present/not present, killing monsters of the same family as the mark, not killing monsters of the same family as the mark, the mark fears a certain other creature so you have to kill all of those that are nearby, and so on, the possibilities are endless. However, the marks should not appear unless you have the quest for hunting it flagged with the appropriate NPC. And if more people are hunting it, it will have a low respawn timer so eventually you will get your chance.
5. Once the Mark has been found, the battle begins.. or maybe not. Perhaps while some are ready to rumble right away, others might have to be chased down. Or perhaps getting it to appear doesn't matter unless it likes you, or something you have. Maybe an item is needed to make it appear in Step 4 above, or perhaps that item isn't needed to get it to appear, but to get it to stay put. Basically, adding an element of strategy to it beyond just mere combat strategy. And while many marks could be potentially soloed, there would be certain ones that would need a group. Imagine a chocobo NM for example, that runs really fast, and you have to basically get it cornered. One person could not possibly run that fast or head it off, but a group, working together, could corner it. Then maybe, you need to put some greens down to make it stay put, so you can begin to fight it. As long as the greens are in effect, it would stay and fight. But when the greens wear, you either have to drop some more before the previous greens fade or you'll have to repeat the chase. Just a basic example, there is considerable room for many many more possible mark types and strategies, and if this was implemented, more marks could be designed and added in future updates.
6. After defeating the mark, you return to the NPC. Perhaps a key item or one rare/ex item for every member who assisted is dropped upon its defeat. Then, everyone returns to the questgiver and turns in the item. The questgiver gives a reward (an item of some sort, the harder the mark the better the item) and you are rewarded some gil and exp in addition to the exp you obtained when you defeated the mark.
7. Defeating marks earns you guild points. These guild points can be used to purchase special gear and items available only at the guild. Being a hunter's guild, most of these items could be nice rare/ex equipment for various jobs to use. Perhaps you could buy other things though, like an enhancement to your map that places a marker where the mark(s) you have flagged are said to spawn, or some other utilities to help you in your hunts. After gaining so many points you rank up in the guild, and can take on harder marks. In addition, as your fame in the guild increases with rank up, sometimes the guild will ask you to hunt a special mark that can't be found on the notice board. These marks would be far harder than the 'normal marks' on the notice board, but would give very nice EXP, money, and guild points when defeated. And the guild would reward you with a fittingly nice reward based on the difficulty of the mark. The rewards for these special marks would be generally far nicer than most of the notice board marks. As your character's personal level/growth/whatever it is rises, and as your guild rank rises, so too does your fame in the hunters world. Sometimes, an NPC might approach you, or some NPCs might say different things to you, asking you to hunt a mark that isn't posted, opening special "Independent Hunts" that sort of fall outside the Guild's jurisdiction. These would be special rare hunts that give the usual EXP, item and money rewards, and in addition, would earn you a great deal more guild points than normal, because you introduced a new monster to the guild that it wasn't aware of. This would earn you special fame in the guild and could even be a springboard to yet more hunts in the future. Certain marks could give you perhaps a new title too, if there is going to be titles again.
8. Marks are repeatable. That way, you can relive some of the best marks, and also repeating marks will make it easier to earn guild points towards the item you want and to the next rank up.

Awkward question, but my last two 'movements' have been green in some places, green when I wipe. Not a obvious poop green either, but like a neon green LOL Like I swallowed a green marker or something.
I have been eating a lot of the blue frosting off this giant cookie we got for the holidays. I just want to be sure that's what's causing it. It was fine until the frosting.

Yeah these things happen! Its just due to the colouring in your food! Dont worry this has happened to me.. haha11|00|0

FDA Inspection Lessons Learned: Lack of Trial Oversight
Product ID: 704263
- Duration: 90 Min

Fax: +1-650-565-8542
Email: email@example.com
This training program will critically assess the number of major and critical 2012 inspection findings related to trial oversight. Attendees will learn to identify regulatory requirements for appropriate delegation of duties and investigator oversight.
Why Should You Attend:
Failure to personally conduct or supervise the clinical investigation is a frequent finding in regulatory inspections, and one that highlights the risk to participant safety in clinical trials. Principal investigators (PI) are required to provide adequate oversight of all clinical research activities at their sites, whether the activity is conducted by the PI or by a delegated member of the study team. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case.
This webinar will identify the regulatory requirements for investigator oversight and delegation, as well as examine examples from actual warning letters citing trial oversight inadequacies. Appropriate corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) will be discussed, equipping learners with solutions to avoid common trial oversight consequences and ultimately avoid inspection findings.
Attendees are encouraged to share their experiences as participants discuss methods and tools to aid in compliance through appropriate techniques for the trial oversight.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify regulatory requirements for appropriate delegation of duties and investigator oversight
- Critically assess the number of major and critical 2012 inspection findings related to trial oversight
- Employ steps to prevent major and critical inspections findings related to trial oversight
- Formulate corrective actions to resolve the major and critical inspection findings related to trial oversight
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
- Most Frequent Findings Related to Inadequate Oversight
- Possible Reasons for Non-Compliance
- Root Cause Analysis
- Corrective and Preventive Action
Who Will Benefit:
- Principal Investigator
- Monitor (CRA)
- Regulatory Affairs/Compliance
- Trainer/Educator
- Investigator
- Auditor/Inspector

Trailer: Lockout
11:00 AM on 03.27.2012 // Liz Rugg@LizRugg
"Mr. President, there's been a massive takeover on space prison MS1."
What more do you need in a movie?
Lockout - in theaters April 13th, stars Guy Pearce as a rough-and-tumble ex-government agent who, when the president's daughter gets kidnapped in the rioting space prison, is the only man for the job. Honestly, this does not look like my kind of movie. It looks like a mediocre FPS from the 90s got made into a movie, but without the burger at the end. Ehh, could be okay if you're into that sort of thing.

Movie review by Greg Carlson
Filmmaker Juan Jose Campanella, who works regularly in both Argentina and the United States, crafts an engrossing blend of detective procedural, legal thriller, and romance in "The Secret in Their Eyes," winner of the 2009 Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award. The movie is based on Eduardo Sacheri's (slightly) differently titled novel "The Question in Their Eyes," and author and director collaborated on the screenplay. The adaptation embraces melodramatic flourishes even as it makes room for serious questions about the nature of justice and punishment. Jumping back and forth between 1974 and 2000, "The Secret in Their Eyes" uses its dual chronology to explore themes of longing and regret, as well as class differences and the political corruption of the right-wing elements of Peronism.
Told mostly in flashback, "The Secret in Their Eyes" begins with former court investigator Benjamin Esposito (Ricardo Darin) constructing a passage for a novel inspired by a memory that has haunted him for a quarter of a century. A young woman named Liliana Colotto is savagely raped and beaten to death in her Buenos Aires home. Esposito promises Colotto's widower (Pablo Rago), a gracious, sensitive – and now devastated – bank employee, that he will find the murderer. Against the better judgment of Esposito's supervisor Irene (Soledad Villamil), for whom the man carries a white-hot torch, permission is reluctantly granted to continue work on the case even after it has been frustratingly and unfairly closed.
Like Laura Hunt and Laura Palmer, the spectral presence of Liliana casts a spell on the film's protagonist and its viewers, and Campanella exploits the ways in which expectations of coded masculinity inform and direct Esposito's motivations and choices, especially in terms of how his forbidden love for Irene fuels his desire to track Colotto's assailant. Despite Irene's affection for her co-worker, she is both engaged to be married to someone else and is Esposito's superior. Additionally, the social gulf that separates Irene and Esposito prevents him from acting on his feelings. As a result, he focuses on the crime against Liliana, because it affords him a small measure of control.
Campanella, whose American directing credits include episodes of "House M.D.," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "30 Rock," and "Strangers with Candy," draws on his experiences with drama and comedy, infusing "The Secret in Their Eyes" with a sense of wry, deadpan humor that tempers the grim details of the central offense. Esposito's partner Sandoval (Guillermo Francella), a sloppy alcoholic with a knack for pulling clues together, provides comic relief and an unflagging commitment to his friend. Sandoval takes center stage during a spectacularly staged foot-chase shot as a sweeping long take at a packed football stadium. Later, the character anchors one of the movie's most tragic encounters, a symbol of Argentineans swallowed up by a regressive political regime.
Sandoval is one of a half-dozen memorable figures in the story, and the plot's twists and surprises, which continue to the end of the film, should ignite discussion about the scope and scale of restitution, retribution and redress, particularly in the manner of how a penalty is meted out. Cicero's classic equation of proportionality between crime and punishment does not answer whether an eye for an eye provides an adequate measure of correction, and "The Secret in Their Eyes" just as easily calls to mind Voltaire's note that "The punishment of criminals should serve a purpose. When a man is hanged he is useless."
This review was also published in the High Plains Reader the week of 7/26/10.

KTRS, St. Louis Morning Host McGraw Milhaven Faults Google for Temporarily Terminating Show's YouTube Account. St. Louis morning personality McGraw Milhaven tells TALKERS magazine that, as far as he can tell since it's hard to talk to an actual person at Google, complaints about his show's video segments dealing with the Michael Brown slaying in Ferguson must have forced the hand of YouTube and it responded by closing the show's account – at least temporarily since the videos in question have returned to the KTRS550TV account. Milhaven says his show had some 1,700 videos on the site that he thought were gone forever. He says, "We had a police officer on yesterday talking about this Ferguson story and they terminated our account. Censored. All of it. Gone. Taken down, and nothing from YouTube except an email saying we are not allowed to ever post again." Milhaven posted to his Facebook page a plea for help from fans since CH Holdings – owner of KTRS – is a family business without the resources to fight Google. He wrote, in part, "We, at the McGraw Show on KTRS, admittedly have been sympathetic to the police officers' story, but we have had all types of guests defending all sides to this very important story. Our videos, which serve as a St. Louis archive over the last two years and have been used by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News as well as hundreds of other media outlets, are now lost forever. YouTube has arbitrarily decided they don't like our current and past content and has cut off our voice." Google did not respond directly to requests for further clarification of the termination but, as stated at the beginning of this story, the videos are back online.
WIND, Chicago Morning Co-Host Amy Jacobson Loses Suit Against CBS. Former television reporter Amy Jacobson was let go by NBC-owned WMAQ-TV, Chicago in 2007 after she was videoed poolside at the home of Craig Stebic – a man who was deemed a person of interest in the disappearance of his wife Lisa. Competing WBBM-TV "CBS 2" caught her on video and broadcast it. Jacobson then sued CBS for libel for $1 million claiming that she was not a public person at the time the video was taken since she was off duty and not in public. Last year, a judge ruled that Jacobson's team failed to show CBS fabricated unfavorable content about her, but Jacobson and her lawyer appealed. Now, an Illinois Appeals Court has ruled against Jacobson. Jacobson has been co-hosting the morning show on Salem-owned WIND, Chicago "AM 560 The Answer" since 2010. Lisa Stebic has never been found and although Craig Stebic is still considered a person of interest, no charges have ever been filed against him.

Pattiz comments, "This is the first of several upcoming announcements about PodcastOne merging editorial and audio media through partnerships with major digital brands. We can't think of a better partner than theCHIVE to kick off this effort."

Milner comments, "I am extremely honored to have been given the opportunity to join Cumulus at the senior vice president level.

C. Crane Publishes New Catalogue for 2015. One of the nation's leading companies in the manufacturing and distribution of radios and radio-related devices, C. Crane Company, Inc., has published the latest in its annual series of catalogues detailing the firm's brand-new offerings as well as the tried-and-true products for which it has achieved a stellar reputation. The Fortuna, California-based company that has maintained a close working relationship with the radio industry for almost three decades, is also planning a physical move in 2015 to a larger location that will combine its warehouse and office storefront as a single facility. C. Crane president Bob Crane tells TALKERS, "Our company has always been about the best reception and accurate, legible audio tailored for the human voice. By focusing on what we do best we have established a brand and product line that continues to allow us to service the radio listening community." Set to arrive before Christmas is the new CC Skywave ($89.95) travel radio with AM, FM, shortwave, weather and aviation bands. According to Crane, "Seldom, if ever, has a small, high-performance travel radio been combined with an intuitive layout. You can listen to pilots while they land and perhaps find out why your plane is late." Another groundbreaking new device offered this year is the CC WiFi-2 internet radio that uses the TuneIn service which has extensive searchable listings and thousands of stored podcasts in a convenient desktop WiFi receiver that also comes with an FM radio built in and can be used as a Bluetooth® receiver. Crane also states, "We feel our top of the line CC Radio-2E ($169.95) has the best reception and audio of any radio made today. It comes with the standard AM and FM bands along with weather and 2-meter ham band for emergency situations. The audio circuit is accurately tuned for the human voice and can now be adjusted for warm musical performance with enhanced bass." Pictured above is KFI, Los Angeles personality Tim Conway, Jr. trying out the CC Solar Observer ($54.95) specifically designed for emergency use. It can be powered in four different ways including a crank and can charge many different USB type devices including cell phones. TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison remarks, "I am a longtime admirer of the C. Crane folks for both their ongoing support of the radio industry and their championing the cause of the radio medium as well. I love their products but believe it or not, my favorite is the simple CC Pocket. It is an elegant little device that picks up where the old Walkman product left off. In an age of complicated gizmos that stand between the listener and instant audio gratification, it features ease of use, great reception, and sharp, well-defined audio." The CC Pocket (pictured at right) is a little jewel of an AM/FM/weather radio that can be listened-to on a built in speaker or the CC Buds that are tuned to the spoken word. The $64.95 device has five easy-to-use, one-touch memory buttons for each band and stands upright for best audio. Rubber coated sides help with the grip and it has a belt clip, display light, sleep timer, clock and alarm as well as battery and signal strength meters, FM stereo or mono switch. It runs on two AA batteries. Harrison says, "It would be a blessing for the radio industry if somehow 50 million or so of these things suddenly fell out of the sky and into the hands of consumers – after all, one of the primary problems facing AM and FM radio today is the increasing lack of plain ol' radios out there in the world." Harrison jokingly adds, "Perhaps they would sell more if they contained an internet/cell phone chip." C. Crane can be reached via www.ccrane.com.

WGN, Chicago Revamps Program Schedule; Milt Rosenberg Out After 39 Years. The 87-year-old host of "Extension 720" will do his last program for Tribune's WGN, Chicago on Thursday evening. In announcing its new programming schedule set to take effect on January 2, the station is eliminating Milt Rosenberg's "Extension 720" program that began in 1973. New to the schedule will be a late evening show featuring former WLS-AM night host Turi Ryder who'll broadcast from 10:00 pm to 1:00 am. Other changes include a later start for Jonathon Brandmeier's morning show – 6:00 am to 10:00 am – and a split shift for midday personality Mike McConnell who'll host the 10:00 am to 12:00 noon slot and the 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm slot. In between, the station adds "The Noon Show" hosted by author Carol Roth. Roth is a business strategist and former investment banker who frequently contributes to the topics of business and entrepreneurship on Fox News, MSNBC, Fox Business, and WGN TV. As for Rosenberg, he tells Time Out Chicago's Robert Feder he has no hard feelings toward the people at WGN, "It's certainly amicable as far as my relations with the people I deal with. There's been no particular bad feeling, no insults, no shouting." And Rosenberg indicates he'll seek other opportunities to continue his radio career, perhaps with other spoken-word stations in the market.
Consolidation Hits the Ratings Industry; Nielsen to Acquire Arbitron. Consolidation is not for radio stations only. Today, Nielsen Holdings N.V. announces it will begin the process of buying Arbitron Inc. through the acquisition of the outstanding common stock of Arbitron for $48 per share in cash, representing a premium of approximately 26% to Arbitron's closing price on December 17, 2012. Nielsen has a financing commitment for the total transaction amount. The transaction has been approved by the boards of both companies and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory review. Nielsen had tried to compete with Arbitron in the radio ratings business in the United States in the past but shut down that effort after minimal success gaining enough subscribers to make the project profitable. Clearly, Nielsen sees value in the radio ratings business as Nielsen chief executive officer David Calhoun states, "U.S. consumers spend almost two hours a day with radio. It is and will continue to be a vibrant and important advertising medium. Arbitron will help Nielsen better solve for unmeasured areas of media consumption, including streaming audio and out-of-home. The high level of engagement with radio and TV among rapidly growing multicultural audiences makes this central to Nielsen's priorities." With cross-platform marketing becoming so important Nielsen sees this acquisition as completing a part of that puzzle for marketers in the U.S. In a statement, Nielsen says – with Arbitron assets – it intends to further expand its "Watch" segment's audience measurement across screens and forms of listening. "These integrated, innovative capabilities will enable broader measurement of consumer media behavior in more markets around the world," says Steve Hasker, Nielsen president of Global Media Products and Advertiser Solutions. "We will also bring local clients greater visibility to empower more precise advertising placement and campaign effectiveness."
KKLA, Los Angeles Host Frank Pastore Dies After Motorcycle Accident. The 55-year-old former MLB pitcher and talk host on Salem Communications' Christian talk outlet KKLA, Los Angeles died after going into cardiac arrest on Monday, December 17. He had been in a coma for several weeks after being involved in a motorcycle accident on the 210 freeway near Los Angeles. Salem Communications president David Santrella issued the following statement: "Frank has been an integral part of KKLA for nine years as our afternoon talk host and, in many ways, as a Salem ambassador to the Christian community in Southern California. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gina Pastore, their family and the KKLA family at this time."
Beasley's WQAM, Miami Inks Joe Rose to Contract Extension. Morning drive sports talk host Joe Rose – The Big Dog – signs a contract extension with Beasley Broadcasting to remain in the AM drive seat on WQAM for the next three years. The former Miami Dolphins tight end joined WQAM's morning show in 1992. He also serves as color commentator for the Dolphins radio broadcasts as well as sports anchor for WTVJ-TV, Miami "NBC 6." Beasley Miami VP/GM Joe Bell states, "Joe Rose is the gold standard for athletes who become broadcasters. He had a seven-year NFL career, but as good as he was, his broadcast career has eclipsed what he accomplished in the NFL. Joe is an easy listen…he's the guy next door that you can talk sports with over the backyard fence. He has become the face of WQAM and we're proud and excited to have him on board through 2015."
TALKERS Presents Massive Four Month News/Talk Radio PPM Overview. As a follow up to yesterday's (12/17) analysis by Mike Kinosian about how the non-stop, dramatic events of the past six weeks have presented radio, in general, and news/talk radio, specifically, with the challenge and opportunity to process an enormous amount of compelling material, TALKERS presents a PPM overview of some 140 stations leading up to and including this period. Reflecting on the format's extremely dramatic November (2012) survey, where more than seven of 10 stations in our large sample were either up or steady (6+), compared to their October stats. Stations qualified to appear in this multi-faceted recap by ranking within the top 20 (6+) in any of Arbitron's 48 PPM-measured markets (November 2012). Talk has the distinction of being the lone format to have at least one station in the top 20 of all 48 PPM markets. To see the survey please click here.
Rick Ucchino Named Sports Anchor at Blue Chip's Soon-to-Be Sports WCFN, Cincinnati. When Blue Chip Broadcasting's WCFN, Cincinnati flips to sports on January 2, local sports talk personality Rick Ucchino will serve as the station's full-time sports anchor. WCFN will air the CBS Sports Radio Network programming when the new radio network debuts. Whether the station will carry all of the network programming is unknown at this time. Ucchino currently serves at Christian Broadcasting System's crosstown WQRT "Real Talk 1160" hosting the afternoon drive program. In a Facebook announcement, Ucchino says, "As some of you might know, MOJO 100.3 is flipping to an all new CBS Sports station starting January 2nd. And I am happy to announce that I have officially accepted an offer to become their full-time morning sports anchor! I am grateful for the opportunities 'Real Talk 1160' has given me over the years but I am excited for the next chapter of my career!"
Doug Meehan Exits WTKK, Boston for TV Gig. It's tempting to read into WTKK, Boston afternoon drive host Doug Meehan's departure from the station as being related to rumors Greater Media plans to flip the station from talk to a music format in the near future, but there's no indication that's the case. Meehan, who took over the PM drive slot in 2011 and served as a TV traffic reporter and general assignment reporter at Fox 25 in Boston prior to that, is leaving the station to pursue a "major-market television opportunity" that he'll announce soon. While Greater Media has been registering domain names that could indicate a flip to any number of music – or even sports – formats, the company has simply stated it is always considering programming options for its stations.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/2/2013 (1640 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Sitting on a counter in Cleveland's noisy clubhouse, more than one year and nearly 2,300 miles away from a rough finish in Boston, Terry Francona looks content, at ease.
As players sip coffee and layer up for their workout on a chilly Saturday morning, Cleveland's new manager is perched under two large flat-screen TVs, his back pushed up against buckets of bubble gum and sunflower seeds. This is where Francona belongs, the place he enjoys most.
Being around the guys.
From the moment he slipped on his No. 17 Indians jersey for the first time this spring, Francona has relished being back in the majors.
"I'm not really big on looking backwards," Francona said the other day. "But if you ask me if I'm having a ball here? Yeah."
It's obvious.
Whether he's hitting grounders to the club's first basemen, catching throws to the plate for third base coach Brad Mills during an infield drill or simply leaning on a netted batting cage to watch Nick Swisher and Jason Giambi launch homers through Arizona's thin air, Francona is savoring it all.
On Friday, Francona got to fill out a lineup card and was back in a dugout for the first time since the end of the 2011 season, when his days in Boston came to a crashing halt. Other than the four hours it took, he thoroughly enjoyed Cleveland's exhibition opener over Cincinnati, an 11-10 win pulled off with bottom-of-the-ninth rally.
"It was fun," he said. "It's amazing how fast the game looks the first week."
For the Indians, Francona's arrival has meant everything. He's re-energized a franchise that lost 94 games last season under Manny Acta and helped revived a soured fan base that had lost faith in ownership. Without him, the Indians don't sign Swisher to the largest free agent contract (four years, $56 million) in club history or entice all-star centre fielder Michael Bourn to come to Cleveland, either.
He's brought excitement to the Indians -- and expectations. Fans wait to see how it unfolds.

I have tried to connect to the SW community but get a message saying Could not connect to the Spiceworks Community.
This is the same when clicking my login name at the top right (which is showing the correct name and image), clicking Community or clicking Ask a question under that section.
I can connect just fine with my current 5.0 build and it's from the same workstation so no proxy issues. Have tried with two workstations so far and same result, 5.0 works but 5.1 doesn't.
18 Replies
Mar 2, 2011 at 2:18 UTC
I've got the same issue, but I've noticed it's with all the community links
I'v done a fresh install on a windows 2k3R2 server. afterwards i restored my backup data from my 5.0 installation
Running Version 5.1.63718 now
A reinstall copying the backup data OVER the new data doesn't work: Spiceworks will not even start.
The links to the community do not work, but the activity icons and the email notifications DO work. Clicking an item however does NOT work. So it seems that spiceworks can connect, but not redirect to the community
Mar 2, 2011 at 7:38 UTC
I think this one is also in this category:
I tried to view an event by clicking it, SW then told me it needed to authenticate the application with the community.
When i tried to do this, i got the same error as before connecting to the community: no connection
Mar 2, 2011 at 4:34 UTC
I assume you guys are not running 5.1 on the same piece of hardware as your 5.0 production installation.
Does your proxy filter based on hostname/IP? If so, you probably have an exclusion setup for 5.0 that perhaps is not setup for the 5.1 host?
What type of proxies are we working with here?
Thanks for helping us test the beta! :)
Mar 2, 2011 at 4:50 UTC
No I am running my 5.0 on a Windows 2003 server while 5.1 is on a Windows XP Pro SP 3 workstataion.
I have no exclusions for the proxy. I have discovered that I do see the "What's new in the community" links on the right hand side of my 5.1 install and if I click on a link from there it goes to the community no problem, it just seems to be the actual SW link to the community. No sure if that narrows it down?
Our proxy is Squid, can't give you anymore info that that as our sysadmin hasn't arrived in yet this morning :-)
Mar 2, 2011 at 5:16 UTC
Thanks for the info - I'd just confirm with the sysadmin (of the Squid) that both the 2003 server and the XP workstation have the same rules setup in the Squid.
Mar 3, 2011 at 1:16 UTC
Same for me.
I'm running both versions on seperate servers, but the servers (w2k3R3) are configured exactly the same, and I did not have to add extra rules for 5.0, it's just running out of the box like a charm
Mar 3, 2011 at 10:22 UTC
Simon, what about you - are you running a web filter/proxy in your environment? Based on your Support email history I see you also had this problem with 5.0 (during 5.0 beta).
How did you resolve this in 5.0? Generally if you have a web filter/proxy setup it will be necessary to setup rules for the Spiceworks server that allow outbound communication.
Mar 7, 2011 at 2:15 UTC
Hello Ben,
Yes I remember I had the same problems then. One of your team solved it for me. The solution then was to copy the backupped data of my 4.8 environment OVER the new dataand db folder, instead of removing the data and db folder and then place the backupped data in the program directory.
I tried that this time too, but then SW gives an error and doesn't start at all.
BTW: I also checked the proxy settings, but they are OK for my environment
Mar 7, 2011 at 4:48 UTC
It was the proxysettings afterall.
I took a very close look at the proxysettings, changed them again, restarted the service, entered a password et viola: it works perfectly.
Usually, our servers do not need to go through the proxyserver, but apparently SW 5.1 does, unlike 5.0
Anyway i got it workingthanx for the help guys
Mar 20, 2011 at 6:28 UTC
Just thought I'd update that I'm currently testing Beta 3 (5.1.64998) and issue still occurs...
Mar 21, 2011 at 3:46 UTC
...I'd just confirm with the sysadmin (of the Squid) that both the 2003 server and the XP workstation have the same rules setup in the Squid.
John, did you confirm the Squid rules?
Mar 21, 2011 at 5:55 UTC
...I'd just confirm with the sysadmin (of the Squid) that both the 2003 server and the XP workstation have the same rules setup in the Squid.
John, did you confirm the Squid rules?
yeap confirmed that there's no special setup in place, standard rules.
Mar 23, 2011 at 6:49 UTC
John, thanks for checking again with your Squid proxy admin.
Does the proxy keep a log of rejected/blocked connections? Perhaps changes in 5.1 are causing Spiceworks to be treated differently by the proxy.
If so, we'll want to learn why and change Spiceworks as necessary.
If logs are kept could you test 5.1 beta 3 again, using a different workstation (not the workstation that runs 5.0), and then send me or have the proxy admin check the logs for blocked outbound connections?
Also, please send a log files package from the beta 3 install after you finish your tests. I'll PM you with instructions.

Hey Ben,
Replied with logs but just thought I'd put it up here as well.
Clean install of Beta V - can connect to the community
Migrated data install of Beta V - can't connect...

Thanks for the information John.
Ben and I will look into it.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Hey John, have you tried dropping in your 5.0 data (into a 5.1 beta install), wiping the proxy settings, and then restarting Spiceworks to see if you're able to login afterward?

Hey Ben,
That seems to be it!
There were no settings in there before, I've checked my current 5.0 install and I don't need proxy settings in there either but if I add them into my 5.1 migrated install, I can then connect to the community.
I'll just keep that in mind for the production rollout.

Great! Yeah, I noticed from the 5.1 logs that you had entered/provided proxy settings.
Before adding the proxy configuration 5.1 was unable to connect, but as soon as you added the proxy settings Spiceworks connected, and registered properly.
Interesting that you don't need the proxy settings in your 5.0 installation.
Is it possible the device running 5.0 has special rules setup on your proxy server that allow Spiceworks to work properly without the settings?
