Gary Russell Jr. not impressed by Broner
Says he's glad Adrien won and hopes he keeps winning because they might fight down the road for big money.
Gary said that he's seen Broner perform better.
Also said that Ponce turned him down and wants Lopez after Juanma gets a few tune ups.
Paraphrasing. He was on the KOLounge

With that Hand Speed, he is going to have serious problems finding top guys to fight him...I thought that one day Russell Jr and Broner could have fought but Broner has gotten Too Big Physically and Russell is a smaller guy so I don't see him move up all that much
people talking about Broner vs Gamboa...I would much father see Russell Jr vs Gamboa
And by the way Russell Jr shouldn't be in AWE with Broner, he is a up and coming fighter himself and Russell Jr has very high expectations of himself

I'm not surprised that Ponce de Leon is ducking Gary Russell Jr. Horrible matchup for him.

I'm not impressed with Russell and the slew of bums he has fought, how can he even be mentioned with world class comp at this point?

I'm sorry but this is just a joke. Gee, I wonder how many times ANY fighter has gotten completely trashed and "terrorized" women. Hmm, a drunk guy trying to get laid, yeah, real unclassy to the sport.
I probably couldn't even count the amount of times on my fingers and toes how many times a fighter has gotten drunk and pulled that "I'm a UFC fighter!" bullshit to some kind of cop/security. As far as the window, big freaking deal man. 16 guys get trashed and completely WRECK a house, not make it messy, but WRECK it. Destroy the walls, staircase, furniture and that's not inappropriate? Gee why don't you kick all the fighters off the show for inappropriate behavior.
I'm really feeling bad for Jesse right now. Sure he may have acted like a jackass but this is something that you can't cound as "inexcusable". This is the same show that had Chris Leben on camera claiming how he wanted to kill people and "cripple Josh Koscheck", same show that had Jeremy May claiming he was going to come to everyones house and shoot them, but a guy gets too trashed and harasses some chicks?
I sincerely think the UFC wanted this show to end on that kind of note, like a real big "shocker", even if I believe this banishment was completely not necessary. If anything this was just a poor reason to try and bring the hype machine CB Dalloway back into the competition after Amir almost snapped his arm in half.
Seriously, there has been some real bad decisions on TUF, but Jesse Taylor just got the worst shafting I have ever seen on the show, what shit.
I have to disagree, my friend.
What happens on the show between fighters is not the same as what goes on in the real world. It's ok (in the UFC's mind) for the fighters to break stuff and talk shit, threaten other fighters, because the UFC owns the property they're destroying and the UFC tells them they can go do and say whatever as long as they don't actually fight in the house.
Jesse got wasted, walked into a casino owned by the FERTITTA BROTHERS, and apparently causes a serious disturbance and caps it off by pulling out the worst douche bag line ever, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?" And caps it off by associating himself with the UFC. The truth is neither you nor I know what Jesse did to "terrorize" women in the casino, but because the Fertitta's run the casino, Dana should know exactly what happened. But if I went to a property owned by my bosses and made my company look like dog crap, I GUARANTEE you I would be gone.
I feel bad that Jesse lost his big shot but he brought this on himself.
As for other fighters with legal troubles, I agree the UFC should take a much harder stance against offenders.

Dr. Burton is personable, popular with patients (so every once in a while you may have to wait a bit longer in the waiting room because she is spending time with a patient who needs extra tending), adept, & comes across as caring for you & your health concerns. She is very respectful of privacy, & great at answering questions a patient may have (she is also the physician to a friend of mine). She doesn't hold back on unpleasant information, if what is most appropriate for the patient is facing the reality of an undesired diagnosis. Dr. Burton is an intuitive listener, & a credit to her profession.
Sat and talked with me for a while. Great doc
I have seen Dr. Burton since early 2008 and from my first visit from which I have had Many along with some Life altering Results and Diagnosis she has always been very Kind, Is willing to listen to concerns and works with you to include you in the decision making. Even though I will not improve from my original Issue it is great to have such a caring doctor treating me and I think I really lucked out by havung her as my PC. I could not of found a Better Doctor and I have found that there are some really horrible ones in practice
It's a simple fact. A doctor who takes the time to really listen to her patients, to explain things clearly, and to provide thorough care will take a little longer with each patient, and sometimes that means running behind (often Doctors don't have much say in when/how closely their appointments are scheduled, which is the more the fault of the office than the doctor specifically). Dr. Burton is a wonderful compliment to her profession. Her care and genuine concern is evident in her voice, the questions she asks, and in her physical care. I was incredibly anxious when I first went it (it's been far too long since my last physical). She was a calming presence, explained each procedure carefully, and made me feel very relaxed. Her office staff is equally skilled. The assistant had to give me a tetanus shot. It barely hurt, and I NEVER saw the needle.

The Civil Aviation Department (Chinese: 民航處, Cantonese: man4 hong4 cyu3, Mandarin: Mínháng Chù) is the Civil aviation authority of Hong Kong, headquartered at Hong Kong International Airport. The department is responsible for providing air traffic control services to all aircraft operating within the Hong Kong Flight Information Region. It reports to the Transport and Housing Bureau of the Hong Kong Government. The current Director-General of Civil Aviation is Simon Li Tin-chui.
The CAD was also responsible for managing the former Hong Kong International Airport at Kai Tak, until it was retired and replaced by the new Hong Kong International Airport managed by the Airport Authority.
Both the Flight Standards & Airworthiness Division and Accident Investigation Division of the CAD investigates aviation accidents and incidents.[1][2]
During British rule, CAD was not a sub-unit of the Civil Aviation Authority (United Kingdom). Since 1997, CAD maintains independence from the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
The agency has its headquarters at Hong Kong International Airport on Lantau Island.[3] Previously it was on the 46th floor of the Queensway Government Offices.[4]

I've been looking for the king of diamonds
But I guess the queen will do
I've been looking for the king of diamonds
'Til the dealer gave me you
You've got everything together
You've got everything I want
You've got sharp & sparkling pleasure
Even from the middle of your card
I've been looking for the king of diamonds
You know I've got the other three
Spades and clubs they just ain't shining
And my heart knows nothing's free
You've got everything I needed
That's why I'm loving you so much
I damn near just up and cheated
Till I felt your woman's touch
I've been looking for the king of diamonds
But the queen will work just fine
I've been looking for the king of diamonds
Till the dealer made you mine

The base of anthracite coated steel tubes looks like randomly thrown over one another. In addition, the asymmetric curves of light-grey chintz create lightness. A satin-finished diffuser on the top is dispersing the light in a soft manner.

With this new brochure, we are now presenting our third collection: bent. So far, the clear geometric shapes of cube and cylinder characterized our design portfolio. This new collection bent takes a different approach. Rhythm, asymmetry, and tension are the names of the key players. The kink advances to the basic thought of shape-design and it creates a body of light and shadow. The form becomes the decisive figure. This series is offered in an understated light grey fabric.

"We all knew that Freddy was a talented kid and I felt that he was ready to wear the captain's armband and take on a leadership role with this team. I couldn't be happier with the way he has dealt with these circumstances. He had a superb performance against Poland and today, beyond his skill he always showed his desire, his heart. Great players succeed at the highest level and today was a great game for him, and he took the rest of the team with him today."
-- U.S. U-20 coach Thomas Rongen after Freddy Adu played on his second straight phenomenal game for the USA at the U-20 World Cup, leading it past Brazil, 2-1.

I just love fruity desserts! So I made you a healthy apple cobbler. I think apple cobbler is my favorite and apple pie might be a close second. I have already created a Healthy Apple Pie. So, naturally, I had to create a healthy apple cobbler! I hope you enjoy it this apple cobbler much as we did! I had to stop my husband from eating it all before I had the chance to photograph it. This apple cobbler recipe is so good that you and your friends would never know it was healthy, dairy free, and vegan.
The secret is slow cooking the apple filling in the crock pot, the natural sugars in the apple will come out more. Another secret: adding a lot of spices like cinnamon and nutmeg will give a dish a sense of being sweeter than it is.

- When the apples are done cooking, place them in a glass baking dish and preheat your oven to 350. I used an 8X8 dish.
- There will be some extra liquid left, so remove the apple mixture with a slotted spoon.

- Sprinkle oat mixture over the top of the apples and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes.

The construction details have been trimmed back a bit, but this article should still give you a full idea of necessary materials and the building process for making your own oven!) I must admit, I'm a bit of a breadhead. Few things are as exciting to me as freshly baked bread with a dab of butter, or hot and greasy scallion pancakes, or fluffy and airy naan, or a pizza fresh from the hearth of a wood-fired oven. (That last one trumps all the others.) I thrive on bread. Earlier in the year, the idea of baking in the outdoors in a wood fired oven became something of a romanticized (in every positive sense of the word) notion to me.

2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Bought this car new, and now with 61,000 miles on it, the transmission is still the worse part of this car. I have not had any issues with the car other than the lousy shifting, sometimes feels like it is slipping transmission. When I first bought this car, the dealer service department told me that they get complaints all the time about the transmission. I recently test drove a 2013 Ford Escape, and it too had this lousy transmission so I didn't buy it. I have owned a lot of Ford's but this will be my last unless they get rid of this tranny.
Have had this car for 2 years and no regrets.Was surprised by the power especially when accelerating and pulling into traffic.Rear sensors have been such a blessing.Solid, comfortable, although could be a little better on the suspension but not a big issue and lots of extras at no additional cost including safety features.Only getting about 32 mpg in the city but live in an area with lots of hills and stop and go traffic.I have driven over 42 mph on electric.
Able to drive at higher speeds on electric, safety features and sync, high mpg in the city.
The suspension could use a little better performance, front sensors as a standard feature.
I have put 3,000 miles on my new Fusion Hybrid and I am averaging 39.5 miles per hour overall. Most of my trips are averaging over 40mpg and my overall average keeps going up each week. Besides the awesome gas mileage, the car rides smooth and is very comfortable.
I love the panel displays, especially the tree that adds leaves as the gas mileage improves. I like that it tells you your MPG for each trip. I like knowing when I am in electric mode and I am getting better at cruising on full electric when going 45 mph or less.

Reviews for Arizona Opera Company
1 person found this review helpful
Arizona Opera refuses to pay their vendors. They have repeatedly avoided and ignored any form of communication with us. We have a signed contract from the director, which was broken without any prior notice or explanation.
We have tried approaching both the Ryan Taylor (General Director) and Joann Serra (Director of Finance and Administration) on several occasions. Joann Serra has repeatedly ignored phone calls and emails. We have dealt with her for over 10 months, with only 1 phone call and 2 email responses from her. Ryan Taylor has managed to not respond or apologize for his organizations mishandling of vendor relations.
Keep in mind this organization was given $1 million dollars in funding to specifically pay off vendors in Summer 2013. Seems like a highly incompetent set of employees have been running the organization, be it the past or present crew. Yet, they are managing to use our product guilt free.
Arizona Opera was also served papers from our lawyers to give an explanation and pay the full payment on a certain date. They have managed to evade any response to the lawyer and payment. Be it their main director or their financial director, they seem to have the quality of Houdini to disappear than run a proper non-profit organization.
We're taking them to small claims court and unfortunately unlike us we have filed complaint against this non-profit organization to various nonprofit review sites, including BBB.

How would you describe the help you got from this organization?
How likely are you to recommend this organization to a friend?
How do you feel you were treated by this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Arizona Opera has declined artistically over the past several years. I know that they have millions of dollars of debt which most likely accounts for their cheap productions. The singers are sometimes decent but the staging and lighting and sets are at an amateur level. I get the impression that they are on their last legs. I used to buy a subscription but am afraid to now because I think they will be bankrupt very soon and I will lose my money.

I have seen their improvement in quality over the last 10 years and watched them grow in their desire and ability to help fledgling singers. They work with many local schools so that young people can learn about and enjoy the opera. They go to schools periodically to give performances and they provide student tickets free of charge.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Encourage more people to get to know the Arizona Opera.

Previously we learned how keeping a bug list can be a great way to discover unmet needs that you may want to solve. This exercise will help you get started on your very own bug list.
Get a piece of paper and a pencil. Spend 10 minutes writing down bugs that you notice in your daily life. If you are having difficulty getting started, go through your typical day starting from when you wake up and write down all the bugs that come to mind. Here are a few to get you started...
1. Alarm clocks don't work when the power goes out
2. Coffee takes too long to brew
3. Toothpaste tube is messy
4. Can't find car keys
Once mastered, the Phonetic Mnemonic System is great for remembering things. It can be used exactly like the Link, Loci, or Peg systems to form visual associations. These associations work like a mental filing system for the information that you want to learn.
Additionally, it can be used with great success to remember numbers. We have already seen how you can use pegwords to remember numbers, and the phonetic system works in a similar way. It can actually be more efficient since a word can represent more than one digit.
Suppose that you are trying to remember the telephone number 756-1286. Using the phonetic system, we know that this number can be represented by the sounds c+l+ch + t+n+f+sh which you could remember by the words "clutch tuna fish." Similarly, you could remember the first few letters of pi (3.14159265) with the phrase "Mother day will buy any shawl."

Department of Labor Proposes New, Claimant-Friendly ERISA Regulations for Disability Insurance ClaimsDecember 10, 2015 Scott Calvert
From time to time, the U.S. Department of Labor promulgates new regulations governing disability insurance benefit claims and health insurance benefit claims that are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, commonly referred to as ERISA. The regulations must be followed by plan administrators and claim administrators when reviewing disability insurance and health insurance benefit claims submitted by claimants. Recently, the Department of Labor proposed changes to the regulations governing long-term disability insurance benefit claims and short-term disability insurance benefit claims.
Mistreated by Your Insurer? Insurers May Not Be Able to Hide Behind ERISA Preemption to Defeat Claims for Intentional Infliction of Emotional DistressNovember 30, 2015 Robert McKennon
Insureds obligingly pay premiums on their life, health and disability insurance policies and dutifully provide updated information upon request by their insurers, but often do not enjoy the same courtesy when they file an insurance claim. In extreme cases, antagonistic insurers engage in a host of tactics, including appointing claims examiners who refuse to return phone calls, conducting intrusive surveillance, accusing insureds of filing false claims or inundating the insured's employer and treating doctors with document demands—only to deny the insured's claim. Astonished by this treatment, many insureds wonder if they can sue them for emotional distress damages. The short answer is yes—but there are hurdles.
CBS' 60 Minutes Segment "Denied" Highlights Insurers' Wrongful Denial of Mental Health ClaimsDecember 16, 2014 Robert McKennon
On Sunday December 14, 2014, CBS' 60 Minutes program contained a segment entitled "Denied" which highlights that insurers routinely deny, based on lack of medical necessity, treatment for patients with mental illnesses, especially those for long-term in-patient care at mental health facilities. This segment was an indictment of health insurance companies' actions (especially Anthem Blue Cross) to deny legitimate claims for such care, sometimes with tragic results. According to 60 Minutes, "we found that the vast majority of claims are routine but the insurance industry aggressively reviews the cost of chronic cases. Long-term care is often denied by insurance company doctors who never see the patient. As a result, some seriously ill patients are discharged from hospitals over the objections of psychiatrists who warn that someone may die."
Recent Federal Cases Applying the State and Federal Mental Health Parity Acts: What Do They All Mean?November 18, 2014 Iris Chou
The Federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act ("MH Parity Act") requires, at a minimum, that the financial requirements and treatment limitations for mental health benefits set by group health plans and health insurance carriers be no more restrictive than those provided for non-mental health medical benefits. The MH Parity Act was originally signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996 and amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and Public Health Service Act and Internal Revenue Code in 2008. Now, the MH Parity Act is at issue in an increasing number of cases and has been addressed several times by the federal courts in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Third-Party ERISA Administrator Abused Discretion by Denying Medical Coverage: A Tale of What Not to DoSeptember 16, 2014 Iris Chou
Sometimes an administrator so unashamedly abuses its discretion in handling an insurance claim that its actions constitute a textbook example of "what not to do" for other administrators and the ensuing decision provides a clear illustration of how courts apply an abuse of discretion standard of review under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"). Indeed, a recent case clarified that plan administrators and third-party claims administrators alike are held to comparable standards when issuing claims decisions. In Pacific Shores Hospital v. United Behavioral Health, 2014 WL 4086784; 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 16062 (9th Cir. Cal. Aug. 20, 2014) ("Pacific Shores") the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal reversed the district court, finding the third-party administrator acted improperly by denying the insured's claim based on clear factual errors. Pacific Shores provides a clear example of how courts review a decision for an abuse of discretion, and shows that even third-party administrators, who purportedly have no conflict of interest with the insured, are still held to have the same duties in handling claims and must follow appropriate procedures.
Ninth Circuit Emphasizes Need for an Insurer to Have a Meaningful Dialogue With the Claimant When Denying BenefitsApril 15, 2013 Sean Crane
A recent Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision reaffirmed the need for plan administrators to state the reasoning behind their denial of coverage. In Lukas v. United Behavioral Health, __ F.3d __, 2013 U.S. App. LEXIS 1230 (9th Cir. Jan. 17, 2013) the Ninth Circuit was faced with evaluating whether the district court properly weighed the factors necessary to determine if there was an abuse of discretion by the plan administrator in denying the benefits to the claimant. On de novo review, the Ninth Circuit found that the lower court failed to properly weigh these factors and reversed the decision, remanding the case back to the district court for a benefit award and further necessary proceedings related to that award.
Court Refuses to Enforce Health Net Arbitration Provision Because It Was Insufficiently ProminentMarch 08, 2012 Robert McKennon
In the unpublished case of Probst v. Superior Court (Health Net of California, Inc., et al), No. A133742 (March 6, 2012), Division Five of the First Appellate District refused to enforce an arbitration provision in an enrollment form. Brian Probst (who filed a putative class action alleging that Health Net of California, Inc. and Health Net, Inc ("Health Net") failed to adequately protect private personal and medical information from unauthorized disclosure to third-parties) sought writ relief from an order compelling him to arbitrate his claims against Health Net. The Court granted the requested relief because the health plan enrollment form signed by Probst failed to comply with the disclosure requirements of the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975 (Knox-Keene Act, Health & Saf. Code, § 1363.1, subdivision (b)), rendering the arbitration agreement unenforceable.
Court Approval is Not Needed to Assert a Punitive Damages Claim Against a Health Care Service PlanFebruary 27, 2012 Scott Calvert
In a victory for health insurance policy holders over health insurers/health care service plans, in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc, v. Superior Court (Rahm, et al, Real Parties), 2012 Cal. App. LEXIS 138 (Cal. App. 2d Dist. Feb. 15, 2012), the Court of Appeals ruled that a plaintiff does not need to obtain approval from the trial court before asserting a claim for punitive damages against a health care service plan. Specifically, the Court ruled that California Civil Procedure section 425.13 applies only to health care providers (such as doctors), but does not apply to health care service plans such as Kaiser Foundation Health Plan or Anthem/Blue Cross.
The Rahm family filed a lawsuit against Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and two Kaiser health care providers. The Rahms claimed that Kaiser improperly delayed before ordering an MRI for their daughter Anna, resulting in the eventual loss of Anna's right leg and portions of her pelvis and spine. Specifically, despite numerous requests by Anna's parents that Kaiser authorize an MRI for Anna, Kaiser refused. As a result, there was a considerable delay in discovering that Anna was suffering from a "high grade" osteosarcoma, one of the fastest growing types of osteosarcoma. The delay significantly contributed to Anna's poor prognosis and the need for the amputations.

Cause of Action Asserted Against Blue Cross for Violation of Montana's Unfair Trade Practices Act is Not Preempted by ERISANovember 09, 2011 Scott Calvert
In a recent decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that ERISA does not preempt causes of action based on unfair insurance practice claims brought under Montana's Unfair Trade Practices Act. However, the Court did find that Montana's so-called "little HIPAA" was preempted by federal HIPAA, which is part of ERISA.
In Fossen v. Blue Cross and Blue Shield, __ F.3d __ (9th Cir. October 18, 2011), the Court considered an appeal from a District Court ruling that entered summary judgment in favor of Blue Cross on two causes of action. Plaintiffs – which consisted of three brothers, their corporations and a partnership of the three corporations – sued Blue Cross after the health insurer increased their premiums by over 40%. The lawsuit, filed in state court, alleged two causes of action: violation of Montana Code Annotated § 33-22-526(a) (also known as Montana's "little HIPAA" statute) and violation of Montana Code Annotated § 33-18-101 (also known as Montana's Unfair Trade Practices Act). Plaintiffs alleged that premium increase violated little HIPAA's prohibition against imposing a "premium or contribution that is greater than the premium or contribution for a similarly situated individual" on account of "any health status-related factor of the individual" and the Unfair Trade Practices Act's prohibition against "unfair discrimination between individuals of the same class and of essentially the same hazard in the amount of premium, policy fees, or rates charged." The action, filed in state court, was removed to the District Court, which eventually granted Blue Cross' motion for summary judgment as to all causes of action.

Lenovo IdeaPad Z380-21293DU

Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad Z380-21293DU
Source: Comp Reviews
Lenovo's IdeaPad Z380 is a surprisingly affordable 13-inch laptop offering in a dwindling number of traditional laptops in this segment. It may not have the same level of portability as an ultrabook but it does offer faster processing at the expense of slower storage. For those wanting a DVD drive built into the laptop, it is certainly one of the last options available at this size range.

For years, an Inspiron was a bulky plastic box designed to offer competent computing at a reasonable price, with the added bonus of wide-ranging customization options, but many of the newer models have enough style to appeal beyond simply bargain hunters. With the same CPU as you find in ultrabooks that cost a lot more, the Dell Inspiron 13z is a budget laptop that holds its head up high.

NRG pair sell pic to MGM
This article was updated at 7:23 p.m.
Less than a year after parking their production shingle at Disney, marketing vets and NRG co-founders Joe Farrell and Catherine Paura have set up a third feature, this time at MGM.
The Lion has acquired Bob Hilgenberg and Rob Muir's comedy "Infantile" for Farrell Paura Prods. to produce.
Laffer revolves around an uptight management consultant who never had or desired a real childhood until he takes his 5-year-old nephew to kindergarten one day, turning his adult life upside down.
Scribes Hilgenberg and Muir are already penning MGM's redo of the 1968 comedy "Yours, Mine & Ours," which starred Lucille Ball. They also wrote the original draft to the remake of "Father Knows Best," for Nickelodeon Films and Paramount.
MGM's Elizabeth Ingold and Erik Baiers will shepherd "Infantile" at the studio. Farrell Paura's Josie Rosen will oversee the project for the company.
Farrell and Paura opened the doors to their shingle at Disney in January 2003.
Since then, they have set up two Disney pics: "Rescued!," a teen comedy by Jack Angelo and Sam Brown, and romantic comedy "Lust for Life," by Jillian Tohber.

Reports from Penn State indicate that the Nittany Lions have suffered the second serious injury of their spring football practice sessions. Tight end Adam Breneman is out for the rest of the spring with a bruised knee, according to several websites.
Breneman caught 15 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns last season playing in a three-tight end rotation as a freshman. Blue White Illustrated was the first website to report his injury.
Penn State coach James Franklin does not comment on injuries, and a team spokesman said any update on Breneman would have to come from the coach.

Talk:Hillel Neuer
|This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard. If you are connected to one of the subjects of this article and need help, please see this page.
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
The article Hillel Neuer, along with other articles relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict, is currently subject to active arbitration remedies resulting from three arbitration cases (see WP:ARBPIAINTRO). The current restrictions are:
Professional Character Assasinator[edit]
The article should include the fact that Hillel Neuers only purpose is to be a professional character assasinator and a pro-israel lawfare troll. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 18:27, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
I have removed the tag as no justification has been given anywhere for it. Neuer is the head of a major organization and featured in a remarkably ironic incident. If you want to restore the tag, give a reason. Mangoe 02:37, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
No justification for notability. UN Watch appears to have only one small offfice and does not seem to be a major organization.Jeanratelle 00:42, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the comedian (Seinfeld1966) who created this item but then admitted his error: there is not any notability here. The Jew Neuer has not been the subject of published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, or independent of the subject. Second, no multiple independent sources have been cited to establish notability. Just because he is a human rights activist does not make him notable. (The wise Malayisan Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad proved anyway in his Ocotber 2003 speech that the creation of human rights and democracy were a Jewish conspiracy to obtain equal rights.) Thirdly, Neuer has not been the subject of a credible independent biography. Fourthly, there is neither evidence of significant recognized awards or honors, demonstrable wide name recognition, or widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his specific field. To summary on this, there is no notablity and I move to strike. User 00:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Overall Tone[edit]
When I created this page I offered what I think was a pretty unbiased presentation of the two main reasons why anyone would have heard of Hillel Neuer, to wit: his firebrand speech to the UN Human Rights Council and his arrest in Needham, Massachusetts. Since then, a couple of Mr. Neuer's supporters have gotten hold of this page and turned it into what comes across as campaign literature. The original two items in the article are now presented as evidence of Mr. Neuer's martyrdom. I read it and wonder to myself, who was mightier: Hillel Neuer or Mohandas Gandhi? Based on their Wikipedia entries, it's tough to tell.
So, there are now too many hyperbolic statements in this article to list; it would be nice if the article were presented in a toned-down, slightly more balanced way. I might try editing this myself...the next time I have a couple of hours on my hands!
Many critics of Mr. Neuer might observe that his strong human-rights record is marred by his unwavering support for the Israeli government and its countless violations of UN resolutions and, ironically, his defense of that country's violation of Palestinian human rights. It would be nice if something about this were presented in a balanced way; I'll try to write something myself but it's amazing how the defenders of Israel's weapons industry (and their political proxies) are quick to censor anything that makes them look bad. Hopefully, though, the editors here are all reasonable people (fingers crossed). Seinfeld1966 04:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Objectivity and Precision[edit]
The facts show that Seinfeld1966 is interested to score partisan political points against a certain country (Israel) rather than to objectively describe a certain individual (Neuer). Seinfeld1966 claims that Neuer was essentially unknown before his March 23, 2007 speech to the UN. In fact, a quick search of the data shows that long before that testimony, Neuer was publishing books, confronting dictatorships at the UN, testifying before the U.S. Congress, being interviewed on CNN, and lecturing at major universities around the world. In September 2006, the chair of the US congressional sub-committee on UN and international affairs described Neuer as "a leading commentator on UN human rights reform, appearing on CNN and the BBC. As a former international lawyer, the U.S. District Court of New York cited Mr. Neuer for his superb work in human rights advocacy." [1] The McGill Law School's human rights program elaborates on the same. [2]
But Seinfeld1966 shows himself entirely oblivious to and uninterested in facts, authoritative citations, or dates. He's looking for an ad hominem smear. Hence he plays up the Nov. 2 pizza lady's report that was quickly proven false by the Massachusetts state court, Boston's leading newspapers, and for which the police themselves expressed regret. Seinfeld1966's main motive is to attack Neuer for his support of a UN Human Rights Council that does something other than criticize Israel, a simple point shared by UN secretaries-general Kofi Annan, Ban Ki-moon, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Seinfeld1966 can disagree, but that does not entitle him to distort a biography out of a biased political agenda.
"A pretty unbiased presentation" indeed!
Jeanratelle 12:41, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Although I created this article, I'm not so sure that we've established Mr. Neuer's notability. Jean, could you reference a primary source to back up the statement that "the U.S. District Court of New York cited Mr. Neuer for his superb work in human rights advocacy"? The two references you cite, i.e. a conference bio on the McGill webiste and an introduction read by Congressman Smith, were almost certainly composed by either Mr. Neuer himself or one of his assistants. Is there any chance of linking to the original citation/commendation? Seinfeld1966 10:20, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
The reference shows up in legal databases in the US district court ruling of Reynolds v. Goord, No. 98 Civ. 6722 (DLC), 2001 WL 118564, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Feb 13, 2001). Jeanratelle 16:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Discretionary sanctions[edit]
I have added a link to the top of the talk page describing the discretionary sanctions that cover this article. Compliance is mandatory. Sean.hoyland - talk 16:51, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
It is quite clear Hillel Neuer is yet another Zionist who hides behind some phoney partisan human rights group to promote his views. A section should be added.
- I don't know whether Neuer would describe himself as a Zionist but that is a matter for him. If you have a reliable source, for example, an interview with him where he describes himself as a Zionist, you can add it to the article. Sean.hoyland - talk 10:59, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

- Strengthen profitability by improving value and product mix of medium/high end SLR cameras and interchangeable lenses.
- Launch new interchangeable lens type advanced digital cameras to reactivate the market.
- Revamp sales system and continue developing and penetrating into emerging countries.
- Continue further efficiency improvement through cost reduction and manufacturing process optimization.
- Network connectivity and co-existence with smart devices will lead to launch of novel capture devices and applications.
An Interview with the General Manager of Business Unit
Although the business environment remains challenging, we will regard this adversity as an opportunity to create attractive, new products with typical Nikon quality through initiatives that will require the entire Imaging Business Unit to work in unison.
- Q1:How would you sum up the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015?
Compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the market for digital cameras– interchangeable lens type decreased 19%, and the market for compact digital cameras declined 32%, which was more than expected. The delayed market recoveries in Europe and China in particular had a profound effect, and the business environment in which the Imaging Business Unit operates was generally harsh. As a result of these factors, net sales and operating income decreased approximately 15% and 12%, respectively, year on year, but the operating margin rose from 9.4% in the previous fiscal year, to 9.7%. We are aware of the successes we had in cost reductions, which were thoroughly implemented in procurement and focused on development and design, and in raising the sales ratio of medium and high-end class digital single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras. The market environment is predicted to remain severe, and we are expecting year-on-year decreases in revenue and profit in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, but our policy is to continue investing for future growth, such as by further tapping into emerging economies, strengthening the Nikon brand, and conducting R&D for new products. A modest recovery in the market environment for digital SLR cameras is expected from the second half of the current fiscal year.
- Q2:Please tell us about your initiatives under the Medium-Term Management Plan Update.
The Imaging Products Business provides the backbone of the Nikon Group's revenue base. In spite of the harsh business environment, we need to strengthen our profitability to continue to support the Nikon Group. I would therefore like to consolidate our leading position in digital cameras–interchangeable lens type as well as in interchangeable lenses. Even though the market is shrinking in terms of scale, we will implement three measures to raise our profit margin and firmly secure profit.
First, with regard to our products, as for digital SLR cameras and interchangeable lenses that are the sources of our earnings, we will make further improvements to their basic functions and bring about ongoing product evolution. I am not satisfied with the current situation for our Nikon 1 advanced cameras–interchangeable lens type. We are planning to reactivate the market and expand our share by launching new models. With regard to compact digital cameras, I would like to generate value that the photography functions of smart devices are incapable of providing. For example, the high-value-added COOLPIX P900, equipped with an 83x optical zoom lens, was launched in the spring of 2015 and has exceeded our sales expectations, so we have increased production.
Secondly, we will enforce our Customer Relationship Management (CRM). This policy is centered on an approach we have called Customer Lifecycle Management (CLM), which emphasizes enhanced contact with the customer from the purchase of Nikon products throughout their life cycle. Over the past 10 years, Nikon has accumulated data from its sales of around 200 million products. We have recently established an organization within the Imaging Business Unit to promote the utilization of this big data. We will utilize big data, analyze how that data will fill the gap between the products sold now and the new concept products we should be aiming for, and promote initiatives that will leverage the results of those analyses in development and design.
The third measure involves further tapping into and developing markets. The economic situation in such countries as Brazil and Russia is expected to remain unstable, but, on the other hand, burgeoning demand is expected in India and the Middle East. In India, in particular, Nikon has become No. 1 in terms of its market share in digital SLR cameras by actively expanding its sales channels and thoroughly addressing locally based marketing. I would like to apply initiatives modeled on those efforts in India to other countries and regions.
- Q3:What will be the key points of the Imaging Products Business strategy to make great strides in the years ahead?
Nikon's cameras possess well-established brand power, and it is our mission over the next 100 or 200 years to continue maintaining this brand power. The current camera market is shrinking, but that is precisely the reason why we will treat a difficult situation as an opportunity, and it is imperative that the Imaging Business Unit work as one to launch new, attractive, and distinctively Nikon products. To that end, I will clearly indicate the goals to be attained and share in realizing them with the entire Imaging Products Business Unit. In continuing to meet the expectations of all our stakeholders, I would like to show ourselves as continuing to change and evolve.

The Israeli navy turned back a Libyan ship bound for the Gaza Strip, provoking a wrathful response from the official Libyan news agency, which called the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) a "terrorist, Zionist army."
The boat, which set sail from Libya early last week and docked en route at an Egyptian port, was allegedly carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
"They understood that the [Israeli] navy was there and decided to turn around," Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Andy David said. "We have a very clear policy, which is constantly publicized," he said.
While Libya claimed the boat was loaded with food, medicine and blankets, Israeli Foreign Ministry officials pointed out Libya's anti-Israel status.
"Libya is a hostile state to Israel and what guarantees do we have that the boat is not carrying weapons and explosives for Hamas?" one official said.
Outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have allowed three boats from the "Free Gaza" movement, which sailed from Cyprus, to dock at Gaza.
