Kotaku just pointed out an interesting quote from prolific Marvel comics writer Mark Millar (by way of a Newsarama.com interview), referring to the possibility of taking on work outside of comics: "Like all my pals, the TV and movie people have come calling and even the computer game people (which is weird because games are for pedos and I have no interest)."
I've always harbored a mild disgust for Mark Millar, because the guy always comes off as a very shameless self-promoting "rock star" writer who doesn't think before he talks. But hey, now he's saying we're all pedophiles. Yeah, it's probably just one of his wacky jokes (which always tend to come off more as smarmy, condescending "I'm better than you" remarks), but it sure is insulting to a very large audience (way larger than his little comics industry, to boot).
Get over yourself, Mark Millar--you're just a freaking comic book writer. Hey, according to the latest ICv2 numbers, the latest issue of your monthly (and I use that term loosely) Civil War mini-series sold a little over 259k. If that makes you a rock star, I guess all of us editor types here are gods. And I know I ain't no god.

not funny.Posted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by kenthegreat1
wait, the american comic book industry is worth exactly how much compared to the gaming industry?
seriously, i'm asking. less than $10 billion, last time i checked.
edit: yep, i thought so. all petty remarks aside, there's no reason for millar to be so condesending. wanna play with fire, scarecrow?
Huh..Posted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by UISjackolope
I've heard a lot of stereotypes about gamers, but all of us being pedophiles? That's a new one.
Well...Posted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by Onionania
To be fair, the guy worked on Sonic the Comic. If your first exposure to gaming culture was the hardcore Sonic fandom, who would blame you for thinking all gamers are pedophile furries? Hardcore Sonic fans are weird.
(Joking. Maybe. A little bit.)

that was worse then Miller.
I made a post about stuff like this...Posted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by MindKry
I made a post about stuff like this earlier. People in the general media always blame OTHER forms of media for the ills of society at large. Strangely, this condenses the general despair of the public in the last century or so.
TVs, video games, the internet, and music are all to blame for everything that goes wrong in society today. But the truth is alot of these things were non existant or fairly exclusive at the bridge of 1899 to 1900. The invention of the TV did not sart the second world war, and I don't think a dirty limmerick got Hitler to plan the deportation and exploitation of the jews.
The truth is the problems in our society go much deeper then just media outlets. Media outlets have bridged that information gap that was bettween the upper and lower classes, but it was not the begining of the end. Shakespear would agree with me on this one.
Condensing populations, multi culturalism, and capitalism are probably our biggest problems. While we still hold value to human life it makes us fear the destruction of it but the truth is, our population is imploding. Humans are social creatures whos social habits directly correlate to their surroundings. Right now for us, it's capitalism. Capitalism is barbaric, the ability to crush someones livelihood in a conquest to mass accummulate riches, this is the... ... ... Y'know what? Forget it...
I'm 25, I still got alot I needa learn. If you people think that somehow what this guy Mark says is true or not, then you should be back in school or at least reading something. If you really think somehow his comments will have any impact whatsoever, then you're sadly mistaken.
The truth is society is messed up because we've plainly over populated and mass gathered ourselves in exclusive areas. We privatize social amenities for corporate progress, we recind public safety for higher profits, and we crap all over the 'people' for the political process.
Go, read a book... Come back when you're more militant.
Re: mr_glassPosted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by GFWRyan
You misunderstand my point. I am saying that Millar acts like some sort of rock star, when in reality, he is ultimately no more important than you or I. Yes, he's a pretty high-profile writer, but he's got a huge head about it--he acts like everything he does is so superior to everything anybody else does. Read the rest of that Newsarama interview and you'll see what I mean.
And I'm not implying that sales equal quality, either. What I'm saying is, he acts like he puts himself on some kind of pedestal because his comics sell to 260,000 readers. Comparatively, some of our gaming magazines sell a lot more--but we aren't parading around like jackasses about it the way I've seen him do so.
JealousyPosted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by Eternal_Fayte
Will get you nowhere, Millar. And childish potshots won't get you respect from anyone. Stop trying to CHANGE EVERYTHING every few weeks and maybe somone would give your stuff a second look...
WaitPosted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by invading_space
Millar created Civil War (I thought this was Bendis's work, as he seems intent on destroying Marvel)? From what I have read on various forums, this was a highly flawed work.
Thanks for slapping everyones favorite comic writterPosted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by webnet10
Ryan it was noble of you to say this but his fans are comic nerds that enjoy being raped everytime he kills their favorite character. Wait a minute no they dont so why do his books sell. Wow factor and political incorrectness. Which is very popular with week minded. So great job but watch out for some overweight guys with trenchcoats following you around at Comic Con this year.
Wow, damn.Posted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by Snuggs
Being labeled as a pedophile by someone whose living is made by writing stories about people who wear masks and tights while leading double lives, is kind of humorous.
I couldn't help but have a little giggle over this little quip in the interview...
"The closest thing to porn when you're nine years old is seeing that explosion of color with 50 superheroes together in a single image. I used to stare at the insides of my hardback Marvel Annuals every year as a little kid on Christmas morning. It genuinely got me off trying to remember all the names. That's why I insisted on all those big multi-character covers. This was aimed at the eight year olds as much as the 40 year olds. Something happens on every page."
On a serious note, there's plenty of crossover from people who are fans of comics and people who are fans of games. What he said was stupid.

ITS A JOKE!Posted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by mahoney1025
he says it allll the time, he loves video games, ask him about it at millarworld.com

i only say this becuase he doesn't deserve a bunch of people thinking hes serious form one dumb blog post.
on comicsPosted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by Shoegaze_Buff
its sad to me. Its seems like there has been a lot more emphasis placed on imagery instead of dialogue it seems like every comic nowadays has hardly any conversation
You meean to tell me that everyone on WOW is trying to get into my pants?Posted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by hurtfulmadmax
Mark Millar called gamers pedophiles? Hold the presses! You mean that everyone playing WOW is trying to get into my pants? That's absurd (at least I hope so). Sure his works are great and all, but when did people begin to care about Mark's personal opinion? Mark Millar just needs to tape his mouth shut and go back to work.
P.s Millar stop acting like a rock star, because you aren't one.
Re: mr_glassPosted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by Cyberxion!0!
No, mr_glass, it's not obtuse at all. Unlike Millar, he didn't make a rude offhand remark about an entire group of people out of ignorance, but merely expressed his opinion that regardless of what Millar may think of himself, he's a regular guy like any of them, and has no right to make such a remark.
I happen to agree. Regardless of his success as a writer, this remark is ignorant and insulting, and I think that he owes we gamers an apology for being such a fucking asshole.
a pedo?Posted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by GunnerRecall
Well that wont do, im going into teaching! I'd better stop playing games now before i can't help myself *flips this millar retard off, wherever he is*
I'm not a pedophile...Posted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by bravertuna
Although I do have a thing for girls my own age (17-18), I'm not a pedophile. Why does it matter what Millar says? It's not like he's right.
C'mon folks...Posted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by Fygar
This is a complete joke from Mark Millar. He's ribbing his friends Bendis and Brubaker who are constantly on X-box live. Mark Millar's facade doesn't translate well to print. Check out interviews with him at wordbaloon.com or on the Ultimate Avengers DVD, he's probably the most humble man in the world. His enthusiasm is infectious.
Shoegaze Buff - Check out "Alias" if you want a well written book with plenty of conversations. It's a great read and has nothing to do with the TV show of the same name.
Re: FygarPosted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by GFWRyan
Yeah, except, this is a press interview. He's supposed to be speaking to his fans--not his friggin' coworkers. And in the 2+ years I've been privy to the man's endless string of idiotic comments and high-horse approach to his craft, he's anything but humble.
i agree w/ Mr_glassPosted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by venom_web20
Don't diss the whole comic book industry, just b/c one writer is a outspoken asshole, i'm sure everyone one of us has made a remark that alienates people, and comes as offensive, I think it takes balls to do that, it doesn't make it right, but it takes balls to be that outspoken.
And i think if you get offended over a remark like that and then diss the whole comic industry, then you might be growing a snatch my friend.
PeepshowPosted: Feb 28, 2007 12:00AM PST by Finncognito
The "pedo" comment is most likely a reference to Peep Show, a comedy series of which Millar is a fan. I know humor is hard to convey through the Internets but I'm really surprised people actually think he was being serious.

Here's the first episode of Peep Show, the scene is pretty early on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_rhKO0liAc

Ryan...Posted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by Fygar
Listen to this podcast whenever you have a free moment, and tell me this guy takes anything seriously.
The only reason I'm being so adamant about this is I used to think the same thing. I thought Millar was an annoying twit, but then I realized it's all a ruse. He seems like a great guy who's out to to write some cool comics. Maybe I'm blinded by my sheer love of the Ultimates.
Millar vs Miller.Posted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by Bahimiron
Saying 'Is Mark Millar like Frank Miller, but bad?' is like saying 'Is Pol Pot like Hitler, but bad?'. Frank Miller has gone off the deep end of writing some of the shittiest shit that ever shat a shit. Seriously, if shit could shit, it would shit shit like the shit Frank Miller writes.
Fuck. I'm gonna be a hero of the web now, aren't I?
calm downPosted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by mahoney1025
apparently we should all stop trying to defend Millar, becuase Ryan has extensive personal knowledge of the guy- yeah, ill just take your word for it. the people who know anything about Mark Millar, OR his friends and how friendly he is with allot of his Peers, knows he was joking. Im sure Bendis really hates the English like he says he does all the time, and im sure Burbanker has really done both of their mothers.
get over it, it was a joke, sarcasm doesn't get go over well in print
O, and this is Millar taking credit for Civil War- "But the guys were amazing and should be commended here. Bri, Jeph and JMS were troopers, especially at the meeting stage, and guys like CB Cebulski just tossed in some of the most amazing notions or even lines I could use when I actually got around to writing the script. Joe was brilliant, utterly trusting on what was had to be the most radical set of events to happen in the Marvel Universe in a very long time, and never anything other than incredibly supportive.
But I have to single Tom Brevoort out as the guy who held the whole thing together. He restrained my worst excesses, came up with so many brilliant ideas and alternatives to my sometimes mental ideas and held the whole event together like no-one else could. "
sounds like a prick to me

Superheroes vs. Superheroes, What an original idea!Posted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by weinerjew
I think it's a sign of desperation to have superheroes fight each other instead of fighting super villains, in which case superhero comics have been on their last legs for, oh, twenty years or so? And just because they couch Civil War in issues of civil liberties and government responsibility doesn't mean it doesn't suck.
And yes, the joke itself really sucked. Gamers are pedos? From somebody who writes about people dressed up in silly, mildly-effeminate costumes? Come on now . . .
Mark MillarPosted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by digitalmullet
is an idiot. He comes off as if he is the coolest guy in the comic industry. His writing is decent, but he's nothing extraordinary. Stick to writing the Ultimates and leave the jokes to the professionals.
Re: Fygar and mahoney1025Posted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by GFWRyan

That's what aggravates me so much--he acts like a high-and-mighty jerk to push buttons, because he knows it'll get him attention. Hence the "rock star" label. Maybe I'm doing exactly what he wants us all to do, but god damn, I can't stand people like him.
mahoney1025 says: "apparently we should all stop trying to defend Millar, becuase Ryan has extensive personal knowledge of the guy- yeah, ill just take your word for it. the people who know anything about Mark Millar, OR his friends and how friendly he is with allot of his Peers, knows he was joking."
Yeah, I don't know the guy personally--all I have to go on is all the stupid, ignorant, and pretentious stuff I've seen him say on the internet. Here's a small sampling:
"Games are for pedos."
"While down at the shops, I saw a black guy with [Down syndrome]. Amazing, as this is something my friends and I had queried for years. Is DS genetically localized to Caucasians. Yes, I'm now about to waste 20 mins phoning a couple of my pals to say so, but now me appetite has been whet and I'm curious if there are any Chinese or Indian Downs Syndrome people out there. Given that Scotland is almost entirely white my chances of seeing one here are slim, but I'm certainly on the look out now."
"I pitched this to DC for a laugh years back. The idea was that, like Death of Superman, we had Rape of Wonder Woman; a twenty-two page rape scene that opened up into a gatefold at the end just like Superman did."
I don't have the exact quote, but I remember him once going off on some tangent about how DC needed to let him write Superman, because he has an idea for the best Superman story of all time, and we just all needed to wait and see because he's right and we're wrong.
And on the subject of Civil War, I remember him throwing his artist under the train multiple times after reports of the book's lateness. Millar's not a charitable person, and he never shoulders any honest blame for anything, even when he does something completely moronic. Hell, even Millar apology for that "games are for pedos" comment amounted to "I'm sorry you all can't take a joke" rather than "I'm sorry I said something that offended such a large group of people" (and, again, he fails to realize that he's supposed to be speaking to his audience, not throwing in-jokes at co-workers/peers--wow, more rock star behavior).
The apology: "Oh, please. OBVIOUSLY I'm kidding. Just getting a rise out of all my game-loving buddies at work (half of my fellow freelancers work in video games and play them more than they write and draw, which I always give them shit about). I can't believe I'm having to say this was a joke."

Forest for the Trees or was it One bad apple...Posted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by BaneRDX
The problem with Millar's comment is that it polarises the whole community, aka gamer = pedo, non-game = normal... I know for a fact that I'm not normal and I'm not a pedo; that's about as far a my logic extends.
If you're going to comment about society and demographics you better have done your research. Otherwise you just come off sounding like an arse.
Sure...Posted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by overlord666
And people who collect comic books AREN'T "pedos"?!? Yeah right! That's a laugh, lol! I both play computer games AND collect comics, but I'd have to say that the people who collect comic books are on the whole A LOT stranger than those who enjoy playing computer games! }:-P>
Why do you care?Posted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by Cyke
He can say whatever he wants. I like him as an excellent comic book writer for his work on the Ultimate line (I can't see Ultimates being anything less than flawless), Civil War and various others.
Just because he insults or jokes about the industry I'm a proud member of doesn't mean I'm going to trash the guy. Why should I care about what he has to say about games? I'm sure every one of us has some dumbass, insulting, ignorant and uninformed opinion about something someone else rightfully and justifiably cares for and holds dear.
If the issue lies on his choice to voice that opinion or joke, then that's another matter. Some people are assholes, some are not. Thankfully, I don't have to care about how nice and politically correct the guy is to enjoy the stories he writes.
I just wanted to add...Posted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by Fygar
that I love the comic book and gaming industry equally. I only wanted people to know that Millar is a prankster/sarcastic kind of guy.
I would've done the same thing if say Milky made a comment that everyone that reads comics is into furries, and if the people on my comic message boards were offended I'd let them know that Milky was joking.
Ryan, I have no problem if you just flat out don't like the guy. It doesn't affect me one way or the other. I just wanted to voice how I feel about him.
I bet if Ellis said the comic everyone would've belly laughed together and talked about how great Nextwave is :)
OK.Posted: Mar 01, 2007 12:00AM PST by Chiabone
Why is everybody up in arms about this? In the transcript of the interview that Kotaku posted, the portion where he "said" this is in parentheses. I am really not sure anymore, but if someone says something in an inteview you don't put in parentheses. The only time that you should be doing it is if they implied a thought. I have not read the interview in its entirey so I do not know if these were thoughts on the writers part, or words that actually came from Millar's mouth. If he spoke them, why are they in parentheses? I respect Millar as a Comic-book writer, but his flippant remarks about other things are nothing to get so upset over. Seriously, how does the comment(if he actually said it) effect you as a gamer?

Are you people kidding? I know my opinion means as little to you guys as yours means to me (now, don't get pissed and tell me I'm a dick and I'm wrong about my last comment, because that would just contradict your point and prove mine), but who here hasn't made an inside joke in a large group which only you and one other person are going to get. It's a joke. BFD, people. And, people, by bitching about him making a stereotype, and then spewing comic-book-fan stereotypes, you are showing ignorance, and spouting utter hypocricy. And to Zombie, comics (other than marvel age) have not been "little boy-Intended" since Frank miller and Alan Moore joined the scene. If you need proof check out "Sin City" By Frank Miller, "V for Vendetta" By Alan Moore, and "Max: Punisher" by Garth Ennis. that's like saying family guy is for kids since it's a cartoon.
P.S. I'm all for rightous outrage(I've gone on more Socio-Political/Anarchist/Anti-social rants than anyone else you know), but this just seems like more idiotic "Don't say anything un-p.c. or controversial, because jokes and original thinking just might hurt somebodies feeling." Screw that, start the fires, spark the flames, feel free to speak your mind, and allow them to speak theirs.

"Go Faster" has been a permanent part of my work life. If there's a way to make a process go faster, I will find it.
Currently, I'm working on a domain specific programming language to facilitate testing of a file transfer agent. The language will run on the JVM to ensure that I can test on Linux, AIX, HP-UX and Windows with equal ease. (Lest one get the wrong idea, the language does not compile down to byte-code. I'm not that advanced yet.) This language addresses the problems of test verification and test execution on multiple platforms. My present testing method, bash scripts, is effective but only on Linux.

Lamar Odom's Former Lakers Teammates Speak Out: 'He's an Emotional Guy'
Amid reports of drug addiction and marital troubles, fellow NBA players say they've reached out to Odom and have not heard back.
Amid Lamar Odom's public struggles, his former Lakers teammates are speaking out.
NBA players Jordan Farmar, Josh Powell and Shannon Brown, who played alongside Odom during the team's back-to-back championships in 2009 and 2010, tell ESPN that they have attempted to contact their former teammate to no avail.
"It sucks to hear," said Farmar, referring to Odom's alleged drug use and marital troubles. "It's unfortunate. A couple of us have reached out to him and haven't heard back. That's just a sign of him going through some tough times."
PHOTOS: The Kardashian Family's Summer of Bummers
Odom's personal struggles have been well-documented in the media. His father, who was addicted to heroin, has appeared on Khloe and Lamar, Odom's former E! reality show with wife Khloe Kardashian, multiple times, while his mother died of colon cancer when the athlete was just 12 years old.
A 2009 Sports Illustrated profile on Odom detailed his early struggles in professional sports, as well as the death of Odom's 6 ½ month-old son, Jayden. In 2011, Odom was a passenger in a fatal car crash that killed a 15-year-old boy in New York City and shortly thereafter was traded from the Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks at the end of the NBA lockout. (Odom had since been traded back to Los Angeles -- but not to the Lakers. The 34-year-old, 14-year NBA vet played last season for the Clippers.)
"It's so crazy," Powell told ESPN. "You look at all of the stuff he's been through, that's just some of the stuff that we know from the years that he's been in the league, not to mention the stuff he's been through in life, period. A lot of times people handle those things differently. Sometimes that weight can get too heavy on a person's shoulders. Granted, you don't want to see people handle it in the way that they handle it, but sometimes people just don't have another way to go.
Source: Lamar Odom Did Not Check Into Rehab
"It's just really sad, man. You just want to wish the best for him. You want for the people that are part of his circle, you would hope that they are doing any and everything to try to be supportive and try to help him get back to being that old Lamar that everybody is used to seeing."
Brown called Odom an "emotional guy who wears his emotions on his sleeves."
"I think he's the type of person where when he's out in public, when he's hanging out with his friends and trying to have a good time, that's exactly what he does," said Brown. "But sometimes when people get by themselves and they get alone, that's when it weighs on them the most because their mind isn't occupied on other things, it's strictly occupied on what's hurting them. So he's one of those guys. He didn't really talk much about it, and if he did, it was very, very, very brief."
While those close to Odom have kept relatively quiet amid the media firestorm, Farmar, Brown and Powell used the ESPN platform to issue a message to their pal.
"I'm here for him," Farmar said. "We're all here for him, really. We know what kind of guy he really is. Everybody goes through tough times in life, and if he needs anybody, he can always reach out to us."

EMMET G. SULLIVAN, District Judge.
Plaintiff Kathy Adams brings this action under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 701 et seq., to challenge her rejection for a position with the State Department on the grounds that it was disability discrimination. Plaintiff had passed the necessary exams to enter the Foreign Service, but was denied medical clearance, and therefore the position, after she was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. Currently pending before the Court is defendant's motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, for summary judgment, which argues that plaintiff cannot make out a prima facie case for disability discrimination. Upon consideration of the motion, the response and reply thereto, the arguments made at the hearing on March 20, 2007, the applicable law, and the entire record, the Court determines that plaintiff is unable to demonstrate that she is disabled within the definition of the Rehabilitation Act. Therefore, for the reasons stated herein, defendant's motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, for summary judgment is
The United States Foreign Service requires its officers to be "available to serve
Candidates for the Foreign Service must pass rigorous written and oral examinations. Id. Those who pass are placed on the List of Eligible Hires, from which candidates are drawn in rank order to receive conditional offers of employment. Id. The offers are conditional because they are subject to satisfactory completion of security, medical, and overall suitability reviews. Id. At issue in this case is the medical review process.
"The State Department's Foreign Affairs Manual requires that `all candidates who have received conditional offers of employment in the Foreign Service . . . receive a medical examination and be issued a medical clearance.'" Id. at 901 (citing 3 Dep't of State Foreign Affairs Manual § 1931.1(b)). The medical examinations are conducted by the Office of Medical Services ("MED"). After the medical exam, Class 1 clearances are issued to examinees who have no identifiable medical conditions that would limit assignment abroad, i.e., they are "worldwide available." Id. Class 2 clearances are issued to examinees who have medical conditions that would partially limit the locations where they could be safely posted. See id. Class 5 clearances are issued to those who cannot be safely posted outside the United States. Id.
New candidates for Foreign Service positions must receive Class 1 clearance in order to be further considered. Id. Candidates not receiving Class 1 clearances are automatically issued Class 5 clearances and may request an administrative waiver of the medical standards for employment. Id. The Class 2 classification is thus only used for existing employees or new applicants who are granted an administrative waiver. See id. at 901 n. 4. Medical waivers are rare, and decided on the basis of factors such as the extent of worldwide availably and extraordinary skills possessed by the applicant. Id. at 901; see also Decl. of Bruce Cole, Def.'s Ex. 12.
Plaintiff applied to become a Foreign Service Officer and had passed both the written and oral examinations by April 2003. Decl. of Kathy Adams, Pl.'s Ex. 19, ¶¶ 2-3. She initially received a Class 1 medical clearance from MED on July 10, 2003. Id. ¶ 8. In mid-August of 2003, however, she was diagnosed with Stage I breast cancer. Id. ¶ 9. Plaintiff underwent a mastectomy to treat her cancer in September 2003, and took approximately four weeks to recover from the surgery. Id. ¶¶ 10-12. During that month, plaintiff was placed on the register for consular officers awaiting appointment into the Foreign Service. See September 25, 2003 Letter from State Dep't, Def.'s Ex. 7. Plaintiff was informed on October 2 that she ranked seventh out of 200 consular candidates, and thus would almost certainly be appointed to the Foreign Service in January 2004. Adams Decl. ¶ 15. Plaintiff reported her medical developments to defendant on October 3, 2003. Id. ¶ 22.
MED personnel, upon learning this new information, immediately asked plaintiff a number of questions about her diagnosis, including a question about the "[t]reatment plan detailing the type and frequency of follow-up care/monitoring needed." October
As a consequence of plaintiff's treatment plan, MED issued a Class 5 clearance to plaintiff. See December 12, 2003 Letter from State Dep't, Def.'s Ex. 11. MED's assessment was that only 53% of all Foreign Service posts had the professional and technical support required for her followup care. See Mem. for Employment Review Comm., Def.'s Ex. 13. MED's calculation was based on the finding that plaintiff's semiannual physical examinations had to be provided by a surgeon or oncologist. See id.; see also Decl. of Laurence Brown, Def.'s Ex. 1, ¶ 18 (stating that the 53% figure was derived from the percentage of posts that had surgeons and/or oncologists). Plaintiff applied for a waiver of the worldwide availability requirement but that request was denied. See March 29, 2004 Letter from State Dep't, Def.'s Ex. 14. As a result of plaintiff's Class 5 medical clearance, she was not cleared for assignment abroad and was denied entry into the Foreign Service. See id.
Adams filed her initial complaint in this Court on May 10, 2005, claiming that defendant violated the Rehabilitation Act by denying her employment on the basis of a disability. In response to defendant's initial motion to dismiss, plaintiff amended her complaint, adding allegations about the physical and psychological impairments resulting from her cancer treatment. Specifically, plaintiff states that she is currently physically free of cancer, but claims to suffer physically and psychologically from her breast cancer treatment, which limits her in the major life activity of sexual contact and romantic intimacy. Am. Compl. ¶ 12; see Adams Decl. ¶ 47-51. Defendant then filed the instant motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, for summary judgment. No discovery has taken place, but both parties have submitted declarations and other forms of documentary evidence to support their positions.
A motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim should be granted when it appears "beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief." Sparrow v. United Air Lines, Inc., 216 F.3d 1111, 1114 (D.C.Cir.2000) (citations omitted). Because both parties have submitted and relied upon materials outside the pleadings, however, defendant's motion will be treated as a summary judgment motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b).
Summary judgment should be granted only if the moving party has shown that there are no genuine issues of material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed. R.Civ.P. 56; Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986); Waterhouse v. District of Columbia,
Defendant argues that plaintiff cannot establish a prima facie case of disability discrimination. To establish a prima facie case of employment discrimination under the Rehabilitation Act based on disparate treatment, a plaintiff must show, by a preponderance of the evidence, that: (1) she has a disability under the Act's definition; (2) she was qualified for the position, with or without reasonable accommodation; and (3) she suffered an adverse employment action because of her disability. Duncan v. WMATA, 240 F.3d 1110, 1114 (D.C.Cir.2001) (en banc); Thompson v. Rice, 422 F.Supp.2d 158, 166 (D.D.C.2006). A person is disabled under the Rehabilitation Act if she "has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of [her] major life activities; has a record of such an impairment; or is regarded as having such an impairment." 29 U.S.C. § 705(20)(B); Thompson, 422 F.Supp.2d at 166.
Plaintiff initially argues that her breast cancer itself is a physical impairment that rendered her disabled under the Act. See Pl.'s Opp. to Def.'s Mot. to Dismiss or for Summ. J. at 23. Plaintiff claims that this impairment substantially limits her in the major life activity of sexual contact. Id. (citing Adams Decl. ¶ 49).
This argument fails for two reasons. First, plaintiff's breast cancer was not a long-term impairment. An impairment must have a permanent or long-term impact to qualify as a disability under the Act. Toyota Motor Mfg., Kentucky, Inc. v. Williams, 534 U.S. 184, 198, 122 S.Ct. 681, 151 L.Ed.2d 615 (2002); Thompson, 422 F.Supp.2d at 170. Plaintiff was quickly treated for her cancer in September 2003, recovered during several weeks after the surgery, and returned to work one month after surgery. See Adams Decl. ¶ 12. By November 2003, plaintiff's physician declared her to be cancer-free and fully recovered. Therefore, while plaintiff's cancer resulted in her being limited while recovering from surgery, the cancer itself was not a long-term physical impairment, and thus not a disability.
Second, defendant did not make its revised medical clearance decision until December 2003, after receiving and considering
Plaintiff's amended complaint can also be construed as alleging that plaintiff's breast cancer treatment, as opposed to the cancer itself, is a physical impairment, or that the surgical treatment caused a mental impairment, and that such impairment limits plaintiff in the major life activity of sexual contact. See Am. Compl. ¶ 12. Construed in this fashion though, plaintiff cannot demonstrate that defendant denied her employment on the basis of this disability.
In order for an adverse action to have been made "because of an employee's disability, the employer must have acted with awareness of the disability. Crandall v. Paralyzed Veterans of Am., 146 F.3d 894, 897 (D.C.Cir.1998); Thompson, 422 F.Supp.2d at 178. There is no evidence, nor has plaintiff even alleged, that defendant was aware of any mental impairment of the plaintiff in the period in which it made the challenged employment decision. Nor is there any evidence that defendant made its employment decision on the basis of the surgical treatment plaintiff underwent to treat her cancer. Rather, all evidence shows that the decision was based solely on plaintiff's need for follow-up care. See Brown Decl.; Mem. for Employment Review Comm.; Adams Decl. ¶ 31.
Plaintiff counters that as long as defendant knew of plaintiff's breast cancer and made its decision "because of her breast cancer," defendant can be held liable even if it was not aware of how the cancer substantially limited a major life activity of the plaintiff. Pl.'s Opp. to Def.'s Mot. at 36-37. Plaintiff analogizes this situation to Bragdon v. Abbott, 524 U.S. 624, 118 S.Ct. 2196, 141 L.Ed.2d 540 (1998), where the Supreme Court held that HIV was a disability under the ADA without requiring that the defendant knew how the plaintiff in that case was substantially limited in the activity of reproduction. See id. at 639-41, 118 S.Ct. 2196.
The crucial distinction between this case and Bragdon, however, is that this defendant made its employment decision upon information from plaintiff's physician that she was cancer-free and had fully recovered except for the need for minimal follow-up care. As plaintiff's breast cancer had been fully treated, and plaintiff's need for follow-up care alone does not qualify as a disability, see supra note 2, plaintiff cannot demonstrate that defendant denied her employment on the basis of an impairment that substantially limited a major life activity. Therefore, plaintiff cannot demonstrate that she satisfies the first prong of the Act's definition of disability.
Under the Rehabilitation Act, a person is also disabled if she has a record of a qualifying impairment. See 29 U.S.C. § 705(20)(B). A record of impairment means that a person "has a history of, or has been misclassified as having, a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities." 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(k).
Plaintiff claims that defendant relied on the following record of disability: (1) she was hospitalized for three days following her mastectomy; (2) she was limited during her one-month recovery following surgery; (3) she was hospitalized following the surgery removing her ovaries; and (4) she was unable to work for a week following her breast reconstruction surgery. Pl.'s Opp. to Def.'s Mot. at 23-24. It is undisputed as well that defendant relied upon the record that plaintiff was declared cancer-free in November 2003.
The impairments reflected in this record were of a purely temporary nature, and thus are not impairments that substantially limit a major life activity. The recovery times following plaintiff's surgeries consisted only of several weeks, hardly enough to qualify as a permanent or longterm impairment. See Toyota, 534 U.S. at 198, 122 S.Ct. 681; Thompson, 422 F.Supp.2d at 170, 174-75. Therefore, plaintiff cannot demonstrate that defendant relied upon a record of an impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, and thus cannot show that she satisfies the second prong of the Act's definition of disability.
Plaintiff claims that by denying her Class 1 medical clearance defendant "regarded" her as having a disability under the third definition of "individual with a disability." See 29 U.S.C. § 705(20)(B)(iii). An individual is "regarded as" disabled if her employer "mistakenly believes that [the] person has a physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities" or "mistakenly believes that an actual, nonlimiting impairment substantially limits one or more major life activities." Sutton v. United Air Lines, Inc., 527 U.S. 471, 489, 119 S.Ct. 2139, 144 L.Ed.2d 450 (1999).
Plaintiff's initial argument is that defendant regarded plaintiff as disabled based on her status as a breast cancer survivor and not on the medical follow-up treatment she required. Plaintiff's principle evidence is the initial email from Rebecca Forsman to plaintiff, which asked plaintiff for information about her diagnosis and treatment, and also stated, "there is a significant possibility that we will not be able to re-issue a Class One medical clearance." Forsman Email, Def.'s Ex. 15. Plaintiff interprets this as proof that defendant had decided to reject her candidacy as soon as she informed them of her breast cancer. The email's plain language, however, belies this assertion. Forsman's message clearly indicates that MED was seeking more information to reconsider plaintiff's clearance, but that it had not yet made a decision.
Plaintiff further argues that defendant did not actually consider her medical status because "defendant's threshold for a candidate's rejection is slight indeed." Pl.'s Opp. to Def.'s Mot. at 26. This argument does not advance plaintiff's claim. In order to be "regarded as" disabled, an employer must believe that the plaintiff had a substantially limiting physical impairment. Sutton, 527 U.S. at 489, 119 S.Ct. 2139.
Plaintiff's stronger argument is that defendant regarded plaintiff as disabled from working in an entire class of jobs due to her breast cancer treatment. Defendant admits that it was plaintiff's required treatment that prevented her from obtaining employment with the Foreign Service. Defendant argues, however, that this is not a class of jobs sufficient to demonstrate that plaintiff's impairment substantially limited her in the major life activity of working.
Both the Supreme Court and the D.C. Circuit have assumed without deciding that working is a major life activity. See Sutton, 527 U.S. at 492, 119 S.Ct. 2139; Duncan, 240 F.3d at 1114 n. 1; see also Thompson, 422 F.Supp.2d at 171 (similarly assuming so without deciding the issue). To establish that an impairment substantially limits the ability to work, a plaintiff must "allege and prove that in his particular circumstances . . . his impairment prevents him from performing a `substantial class' or `broad range' of jobs otherwise available to him." Duncan, 240 F.3d at 1115. To be substantially limited in working, "one must be precluded from more than one type of job, a specialized job, or a particular job of choice." Sutton, 527 U.S. at 492, 119 S.Ct. 2139.
In Thompson, the court rejected the claim that working in the Foreign Service is a broad class of jobs under Sutton, and Duncan. 422 F.Supp.2d at 171. The court noted that the plaintiff had not been excluded from a broad range of jobs in her profession of financial management and human resources. Id. Rather, she had only been excluded from such jobs in the Foreign Service, which is a very narrow subset of the profession. Id. The same reasoning applies with equal force in this case.
Plaintiff responds that she is precluded from more than just Foreign Service jobs because fifty federal agencies require an MED medical clearance. Defendant clarifies, however, that only the Foreign Service requires medical clearance for worldwide availability. All other agencies only require clearance to work in a particular location, and even by MED's calculations, plaintiff would be cleared to work in 53% of locations abroad. Therefore, as in Thompson, jobs requiring worldwide-availability are not a broad class of jobs sufficient to show that defendant regarded plaintiff as disabled.
The Court is not without sympathy for plaintiff's predicament. Plaintiff was obviously extremely qualified for a position with the Foreign Service, and was struck by cancer at perhaps the most inopportune time. Moreover, defendant's refusal to accept the recommendations of plaintiff's physicians or otherwise accommodate her

LOS ANGELES — The prospects for pant-less days and bedazzled outfits on "The Voice" just diminished significantly: NBC announced Monday that Shakira and Usher will join the show's judges panel in the spring, filling in for pant-fearing Christina Aguilera and sequin-loving Cee Lo Green.
The move will allow the veteran judges some breathing room as they embark on other projects. Aguilera is releasing a new album and going on tour. Green is working on new music and developing a scripted comedy series for the network based on his life. Not to worry, ladies (and gentlemen): Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will still be around.
"We are thrilled to welcome Usher and Shakira to 'The Voice,'" said NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt in a statement. "Doing two back-to-back cycles of this show requires a tremendous amount of time, and we are happy to accommodate the commitments made by Christina and CeeLo. The participants on our show benefit from our coaches' expertise and their continued success in the music business allows for significant new contributions to the contestants when they return."
Wanting to ride "The Voice" wave some more after solid ratings, the network added a fall cycle of the show, which launched earlier this month. The move adds to the celebrity coaches' already-full schedules but has proved somewhat advantageous in other ways. Thought ratings were down from the previous season, this season's premiere still drew people away from the second-season premiere of Fox's "The X Factor" and Britney Spears' GIF-able expressions.
Will the new additions keep things from going south? Usher recently secured his fourth No. 1 album, 'Looking for Myself" — his seventh studio album. He was the latest to be interviewed by Oprah Winfrey for the OWN series "Next Chapter." And Shakira has a forthcoming English album in the works, with the first single expected to drop later this month.
In case you need to update your scorecard, let's review:
—"American Idol" now has Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson.
—"The X Factor" boasts Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, L.A. Reid and Simon Cowell.
—"The Voice" features Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilea — the latter two will be swapped with Usher and Shakira in the spring.

Tigran Hamasyan:
Any freedom is a thought-out self restraint
August 27, 2013
PanARMENIAN.Net - Ahead of the release of his Shadow Theater album, well-known jazz pianist Tigran Hamasyan shared the history and details of its creation, fusion of jazz and Armenian music, and many other thoughts with PanARMENIAN.Net.
Shadow Theater
I used a totally different approach in creation of the album. We've been meaning to record it for 4 years, and it kept getting delayed.
The majority of compositions were written by me during the last 6 years. The album includes several Armenian songs, and a psalm (sharakan). Several compositions were created right before the recording; so, with numerous amendments and additions, the album was finalized, with much attention paid to its producing.
I've been trying for a while to think of a name for the album. I thought of "Shadow Theater" and later found out there is an actual shadow theater in Armenia.
The album's is rather complicated – it incorporates orchestra sounds, rock, electro and pop music mixed with jazz and Armenian tunes.
It's the first album that took so much time and detailed work to create. The band worked for a total of 1 year – keeping in touch since 2012. We had series of rehearsals. After a week of rehearsals in France I worked alone in a studio. Later, we were recoding compositions with David Gilejian and Adam Samuels. This was the first album which took so long to create.
National Music
National Armenian music is a part of my vocabulary. Armenian identity is natural to me – and much of it shines through my works.
To me – people are the best representatives of the Armenian music. There are very few keepers of tradition left in the country – and they are the most outstanding representatives of the national music. I don't mention Komitas here, since he too, learnt and sang the songs of this people.
Fusion of Jazz and Armenian Tunes
Years are needed to create a fusion of Armenian music and jazz. I can't quite explain how I managed to achieve it. Jazz does not carry any ethnic elements, so it's easy to combine it with different cultures. In creating a fusion I'm just trying to use the music I hear in my head and develop it further. The important thing is to create something new.
To me, jazz is an instrument, a space in which I'm free to improvise. Yet to me, freedom is not a total abandon, but rather careful planning to feel your power in this space. A friend once told me: any freedom is a thought-out self restraint.
Armenian jazz is bad, it's actually awful. There are only a few musicians here which can actually compete with the foreign ones. It's pretty sad. We have many talented young people in Armenia, yet no conditions to promote their development. Many are taking up any jobs to feed their families, yet there are different examples when musicians are forgetting about their vocation and only setting their minds on earning money. The same is true for foreign professionals who don't have their distinct musical personalities. To a person in art, ability to create in the most important trait. He who does not create cannot be called an artist.
To be able to rest I need absolute silence. Sometimes I close my ears to not to hear anything. I can play the piano for 3 hours non stop, but it's not very healthy – so I'm trying to pause for a couple of minutes after 20 minutes of performing. Still, the music is always there in my head; sometimes I can't get rid of the sound of it long after the concert is over.
Lectures and Karabakh people
The idea of lectures in Karabakh-based Narekatsi art center belongs to me. The initiative was aimed at discovering new talents and helping them develop. I found several of them and we're currently keeping in touch. There are many young people who need to work on their performance and perfect their skills. And what's most important – not stop developing, having caught star fever.

Keep up with what's happening at PARCC.
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers is a consortium of states working together to develop a set of assessments that measure whether students are on track to be successful in college and their careers. These high quality, computer-based K–12 assessments in mathematics and English language arts/literacy give teachers, schools, students and parents better information about whether students are on track in their learning and for success after high school, and tools to help teachers customize teaching and learning to meet student needs.
The PARCC assessment is based on the core belief that assessment should work as a tool for enhancing teaching and learning. Because the assessments are closely aligned with the new, more rigorous Common Core State Standards (CCSS), they ensure that every child is on a path to college and career readiness by measuring what students should know at each grade level. They also provide parents and teachers with timely information to identify students who may be falling behind and need extra help, as well as students who are excelling and are ready for additional challenges.
A hallmark of the PARCC consortium is state involvement. Classroom teachers, principals, curriculum directors and other educators, as well as experts and state education agency staff from PARCC states have actively participated in developing and implementing the PARCC assessments. Students in 12 states are participating in the 2014-2015 administration of the PARCC tests: Arkansas, Colorado, District of Columbia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, and Rhode Island. Approximately 5,000 students in in grades 3-8 in 25 New York City schools are piloting the PARCC assessment this school year.

Looked like the room was built by amateurs, you could see holes where the walls and ceilings should join. Not very clean either, didn't want to touch anything as carpet was disgusting. I reserved a King sized room and was given a room with 2 double beds. When I immediatety called the front desk they told me they didn't have a non-smoking king room. When I asked why they didn't tell me this at check in I received no response. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise as the one bed was broken and rocked when you sat on it, so the second bed came in handy. Should have read the other reviews before I made the reservation that day, Thought since i only need the room for a few hours stop-over it would be fine...will know better next time! I would never stay here again and probably will not try Motel 6 again unless it is the only option.

Google Maps has blurred out the home of Andreas Lubitz, the co-pilot who deliberately crashed a Germanwings flight into the French Alps.
Lubitz reportedly lived with his girlfriend in a flat in Dusseldorf, Germany, but anyone typing the address into Google Street View is shown a pixelated square instead of the property.
Following Lubitz's decision to crash the Airbus 320 into the Alps last Tuesday, killing himself and 149 other people on board, some of his relatives have deleted their Facebook pages in order to maintain their privacy, according to reports.
Google did not immediately respond to calls for comment.
Andreas Lubitz
Germany has some of the strictest privacy laws in the world, with Lufthansa, Germanwings' parent company, claiming it was powerless to know the details of Lubitz's medical history amid reports he had suicidal tendancies.
