The College News Vol. XI. No. 21 WAYNE AND BRYN MAWR,- PA., WEDNESDAY. APRIL 8, 1925 SINGLE-MAJOR SYSTEM -ADOPTED BY FACULTY Old-Group System Replaced by orte Major with Allied Electives; Language Method Changed LESS COMPOSITION REQUIRE!) The Faculty has yoted that hereafter a system of a single major with allied sub- _____jeets is to be substituted for the group sys- * tcin. Under this new plan at least 25-year hours of the student's course must be allotte'd to the major and allied subjects. At least ten of these hours must be ill first and second- year work in the majors>ibjcct. The remain- der of the 25 will Jwdivided between the major and allied subjects under the advice of the department in which the major work is taken. Students of distinct promise, in the opinion of the department, will be al- lowed to carry advanced work in the major subject beyond the first two years. In many cases the working out of the new system will be similar to or even iden- tical with that of the old group system. There will, however, be more concentration in this part of the curriculum, in that 25 / instead of 20 hours of the student's course pi must be given to one field of work. There will also be greater flexibility, in that the distribution and arrangement of hours in the major and allied subject will be much freer than in the group system. The em- phasis will be quite different. Instead of two subjects of equal importance, one sub- ject will be chosen by the student as her chief interest. The allied subjects will be considered subordinate and supplementary to her work in this one main subject. . AH students now in college will have the option of electing to work under the new >vstem. Two other changes in the curriculum have also been voted by the Faculty: Required English has been reduced to eight hours so that no second-year English composition will be given. Elementary Spanish and Italian will be abolished and a new minor course will be substituted in each of these languages for which a knowledge of French will lie a pre- requisite. HEADQUARTERS OF STUDENTS' UNION TO BE AT GENEVA No Discrimination Made as to Color, Nationality or Religion. Geneva is to have a Students' International Union, which it is hoped may become the club centre of all students who come to Geneva, attracted by the University and the other institutions of higher learning or by tin- League of Nations. A beautiful ten-room apartment, overlook- ing the University Park, has been rented for three years to house the Union. It is now being furnished and provides a library. lounge, smoking room and information bu- reau. There will be special conferences by speakers of note. Generous support of the enterprise has bdti promised by the officials of the Uni- versity of Geneva of the League of Nations and the International Labor Office. Absolute impartiality is to prevail, with ini discrimination as to race, color, nation- ality or religion. If the plan succeeds there is no reason why this project should not be the forerun- ner of a Student League of Nations, so that all international student organizations will have their headquarters located in Geneva. Men and women, students and others in- terested in promoting international co-opera- tion and world peace are eligible to mem- bership in the Union. < Price 10 Cents PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT ELBCTED TO BOARD OF CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION FOR NEXT YEAR Next year's president of the Christian Association will be Winifred Uodd.

HOPKtNSON Pseudo- Tolerance, Perilous Pitfall Lurks Behind Harmless Traits Tolerance, intolerance, and pseudo-tol- erance were discussed and contrasted in chapel last Sunday evening by Harriot Hopkinson, '20, Vice-President of the Christian Association for next year. Tolerance, she said, seems nowadays to be considered as something innate, the lack of which is a misfortune rather than a fault. It is not quite so insulting to tell people that they are intolerant as to tell them that they hick good taste or a sense f humor, but people are apt to take it in the same way. It is probably because tolerance is in fashion thai there is so much pseudo- tolerance. Tolerance is freedom from bigotry; the characteristics of an intoler- ant person are ignorance and prejudice. But more dangerous in many ways is pseudo-tolerance. It is not quite honest. It is harder to discover because it exists behind the masks of characteristics which are often in themselves quite harmless: 1. Lack of discrimination 2. Agreeablencss 3. Indifference, which of the three, is perhaps the most easily confused with real tolerance. There are many people who pass as tolerant who only have one or another of those characteristics developed to a large degree True tolerance embodies a quality of respect, respect for other people's opin- ions, habits, and beliefs. The condemna- tion of a tolerant person is always val- uable. In attempting to achieve real tolerance we must be careful not to fall into the comfortable trap of pseudo-tolerance. Allinson Sketches Program � Labor, Drama and War Are Items. Speaking under the auspices of the Lib- eral Club in Denbigh last t Sunday morn- ing, Mr. Brent Allinson explained the National Student Forum and the confer- ences it will hold this summer. "The National Student Forum." be said, "grew from the Liberal Clubs pf the men's colleges and dates from the time of the Washington conference. It has two main undertakings. There is the New Student, a"weekly intercollegiate newspaper, whose purpose is to co-ordinate liberal feeling in colleges; and the camp at Woodstock, in the Catskill Mountains of New York, where ten-day summer con- ferences are held on topics directly con- fronting students, who, with their formal CONTINUED on PACK i> SUMMIT OF ROMANTICISM SEEN IN PRODUCTION OF "FANTASIO' SELF-GOV.

Government Association, speaking in chapel last Wednesday night. � Miss Hough bore out her Statement by citing the adoption of the Self-Gov- ernment Legislature, which was a n*w experiment this year, and also by review- ing amendments made to the rules regard- ing student conduct. The treasurer's report was read, show- ing a balancc'of two hundred and eleven dollars to the credit of the Self-Govcrn- ment Association. In receipts from fines Pembroke West led the campus. Separation of Graduate and Under- graduate Sett-Government was moved and voted. Miss Shields said that the ordinary business of Self-Govcrnmcnt did not generally affect the Graduate mem- bers, and in serious matters the associa- tions could conibfnc. ^ At the motion of F. Jay, '26, it was voted that the constitution be amended to read that the legislative power of the association should rest with a legislature made up of the executive board, the ad- visory board, and the class presidents, and two members from each class from each hall. The experiment of the last two months is now an amendment, adding the class president is the one new feature. The business is to be posted a week in advance, and meetings, which will be open, may be called any time by the president, or by application. The Self- Governtnent Association, and the Under- Qraduate Association will call joint mass meetings. Some similar form of legislative government has been widely adopted in the last two years, Miss Hough said. Following the meeting of the Self-Gov- ernnicnt Association on Wednesday eve- ning, April 1. a meeting of the Under- graduate Association voted the permanent adoption of the legislature.

5 Lots of fun and a great priceSeren1411 | 25/08/2012 | See all Seren1411's reviews (72)For 67 Disney tracks, MOST of which are well-known numbers, anyone buying this album is doing pretty well.It's not a total playlist of all-time Disney greats as, for instance: there are no eligible Muppets tracks (I love the 'Mr. Humbug' track from 'Muppet Christmas Carol, and eligible series tracks such as 'MahNahMahNah' are also overlooked - an odd area for neglect when the Muppet franchise seems to be mid-way through its latest reboot), 'Tarzan' is completely omitted (this was an award-winning soundtrack), ditto 'Monsters, Inc' (although all 3 entries in the 'Toy Story' series are represented - as are some of the straight-to-video 'Lion King' sequels, and 'Return to Neverland'), and the 'Winnie the Pooh' series is reduced - yet again - to the (admittedly excellent) 'The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers'... what happened to the title track or 'Little Black Raincloud'? Other films/genres are perhaps a little over-represented: the non-musical 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise earning 2 entries.There are some less well-known tracks e.g. 'Hannah Montana' tracks, recent additions to the genre, and Broadway hits evening out cinematic classics, creating a balance that is generally worth buying, even for previous Disney collection owners. It's not always the best-paced of albums - the third disc in particular tending to centre around older, slower, and less-famous tracks.BUT most of what people associate with Disney is nicely represented: 'Lion King', 'Aladdin' 'Beauty and the Beast', 'Tangled', 'Snow White', 'Jungle Book', etc providing multiple tracks.If you're looking for a bulk, basic Disney set that incorporates MOST of their classic musical numbers you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find anything better.

Willis Clan performs Irish song and dance
Monday, April 1, 2013
DOVER — Brenda Willis said she embraces the camera crew that follows around her 12 children.
Brenda said the Makem and Spain Brothers are what brought them to the Garrison City. They have continued to stay in contact after meeting at a festival last summer. When the local band saw that the family would be in Boston, they invited them up to perform at Dover's newest Irish pub. "It's great so far," Brenda said of Dover, adding she has not seen much of the city aside from inside the pub. She did say she was looking forward to learning more about its Irish history after the performance. Before taking the stage with her older children, she spent time in a backroom, holding her youngest daughter, Jada, who is two-years-old, and watching her older girls get their hair and make up done. Jeremiah sat on a couch practicing his instrument. The classic scene was all taped by a production crew, complete with cameras, bright lights and a boom microphone.
"Their fantastic, so down to earth and amazing," Cara's Irish Pub co-owner Dawn O'Dowd said of the Willises. Brenda said raising so many children really is not that difficult. "My husband and I are a team," she said. "We work together." She said it got easier the more children she had because the older ones were able to help care for the younger ones. "It was harder when I just had five running around," she said. Originally from Chicago, Brenda said the family moved to Nashville, Tenn. 12 years ago. After this weekend, the family will return home and take two months off from performing to prepare to record a bluegrass album the first week of June in Knoxville. "It's not that much different from Irish music," Brenda said about bluegrass. Her family was asked to make this album and they decided to do it to try something new. According to their website, they have also performed pop, country and Christian music, as well.

Short Cut
We all take shortcuts.
We look for the shortest line at the supermarket, we use keyboard shortcuts, and we text "how r u?"
So, why shouldn't honey bees use shortcuts? They do.
If you've ever watched a carpenter bee drill a hole in the corolla of a tubed flower to get at the nectar—this is "nectar robbing" or bypassing pollination—you may have seen a honey bee come along and sip nectar from the hole. Why work hard to get at the nectar when it's right there for the taking?
This is the insect version of a convenience market!
Take the foxgloves (family Plantaginaceae, genus Digitalis). Sometimes you'll see a honey bee trailing or shadowing a carpenter bee that moves from corolla to corolla.
Short cut to the nectar!

The Lurking Place of the Fairies
Foxgloves are called "the lurking place of the fairies."
That could be.
Foxgloves are also known by their genus name, Digitalis--meaning fingerlike. The genus is native to western and southwestern Europe, western and central Asia, Australasia and northwestern Africa.
Question: Have you ever pulled off the flowers and gloved them on your fingers? Probably. Not good for the plant, but what fun!
The common foxglove, Digitalis purpurea thrives in a shady spot in our yard. The honey bees and carpenter bees love it, as does a single earwig, which apparently considers it its "hidey hole."
How did it get its name? Legend has it that a botanist Fuchs first named it and the name corrupted or morphed into foxglove, according to Wikipedia. "It happens, moreover, the name foxglove is a very ancient one and exists in a list of plants as old as the time of Edward III."
Reports Wikpedia: "The 'folks of our ancestors were the fairies and nothing is more likely than that the pretty coloured bells of the plant would be designated 'folksgloves,' afterwards, 'foxglove.' In Wales it is declared to be a favourite lurking-place of the fairies, who are said to occasion a snapping sound when children, holding one end of the digitalis bell, suddenly strike the other on the hand to hear the clap of fairy thunder, with which the indignant fairy makes her escape from her injured retreat. In south of Scotland it is called "bloody fingers" more northward, "deadman's bells" whilst in Wales it is known as "fairy-folks-fingers" or "lambs-tongue-leaves."
No matter the origin, the exotic-looking freckled purple foxgloves will long be a favorite--not just by us, but by all the pollinators.
And a few earwigs.

Robbing Nectar
We all take short cuts--short cuts around the campus, to the beach, to a favorite restaurant...
Honey bees take short cuts, too.
We've often watched assorted bumble bees and carpenter bees drill a hole in a long-tubed flower to rob the nectar.
And we've watched honey bees benefitting from this behavior.
Today we observed a carpenter bee, Xylocopa tabaniformis orpifex, engaging in nectar robbing in salvia at the UC Davis Arboretum. Nectar robbing occurs when a bee or other animal circumvents the usual plant-pollinator relationship and "cheats" by entering a flower from the outside to steal nectar, thus avoiding pollination or contact with the anthers.
There's excellent information on bumble bees, their habitat needs, their behavior, and identifying characteristics in a free, downloadable PDF from the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation: "Conserving Bumble Bees: Guidelines for Creating and Managing Habitat for America's Declining Pollinators."
The PDF mentions that "short-tongued bumble bees will engage in 'nectar robbing' from flowers with a long corolla tube by biting holes at the base of the corolla and drinking the nectar from the outside of the flower." The bee grabs the reward but doesn't contribute to "the plant's pollination needs."

Favoring the Fava Beans
People aren't the only ones favoring fava beans.
Fava beans growing in a raised bed in the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven on Bee Biology Road, UC Davis, are attracting honey bees, European paper wasps, lacewings, ladybugs, aphids and carpenter bees.
We saw all six insects on a trip to the haven last Friday.
While the honey bees and carpenter bees gathered nectar, the European paper wasps, lacewings and the ladybugs searched for prey. The ladybugs were also searching for mates.
The half-acre bee friendly garden, located next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, west of the central campus, is open year around from dawn to dusk. Admission is free. Visitors can conduct their own self-guided tours by following the signs and reading the plant labels. Groups that want a guided tour (the cost is $4 per person) can contact Christine Casey at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Meanwhile, life is good in the fava beans.

Meet a Carpenter Bee
Meet a carpenter bee.
This one (below) is a male carpenter bee, Xylocopa tabaniformis orpifex, as identified by native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis.
It's also called a "mountain" or "foothill" carpenter bee.
When it slits the corolla of the flower--in this case, salvia--and bypasses the pollination process--this is called "nectar robbing."
The mountain/foothill carpenter bee is the smallest of the three species of carpenter bees in California, Thorp says. The other two are the Valley carpenter bee, Xylocopa varipuncta, the largest, and the California carpenter bee, Xylocopa californica, the second largest.
The male of the Valley carpenter bee is a green-eyed blond and often referred to as a "teddy bear." The female of that species is solid black. And huge!
The California carpenter bee or Xylocopa californica is known for its distinctive distinctive bluish metallic reflections on the body, Thorp says. The females have dark smokey brown wings.
The one photographed below, Xylocopa tabaniformis orpifex, is common in the center of the Central Valley, "probably due primarily to increased nest sites such as redwood arbors and fences," Thorp says. Although considered a pollinator instead of a pest, "it can be a pest when it gets into untreated redwood used for water tanks or structural timbers," Thorp points out. "The females are black with light smokey-colored wings. The male has bright yellow marks on the lower part of its face and some yellow hairs on the top front of its thorax."
You can see the yellow hair on the thorax.
And how big is the smallest of the three carpenter bees? "Much larger than a honey bee, but about half the size of the other two carpenter bees," Thorp says.

When a logician puts up a "truth table," they must know that they're merely playing a game with the letters T and F. Is truth ever going to come out of a symbol-chasing game involving the letters T and F?
I might be surprised.
If I change the letters from T and F to a and b, if I were to describe how to play the game of "symbol chasing", I doubt that you would have guessed that we're supposedly talking about truth.
Much less knowing the truth.
So can logic really be that great of a tool in discerning and knowing what truth is? Or do you think 'logic' is based on more than just a few assumptions, not unlike a foundation of spider webs?
They recently observed a new particle that does not obey the 'standard model'. Other forms of logic have been around for centuries.
Aristotle created a paradigm that can be a trap.

Jove Hubbard steps up as U.S. Chocolate Master to compete at 2013 World Chocolate Masters Finals
- Hubbard serves as Executive Pastry Chef at The James Hotel in Chicago, Illinois
- The theme for the fifth edition of the World Chocolate Masters is "The Architecture of Taste"
Chicago/USA, July 19, 2013 – Jove Hubbard will represent the United States at the 2013 World Chocolate Masters, hosted by Cacao Barry®, Callebaut® and Carma®, the gourmet chocolate brands of Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high quality cocoa and chocolate products. Hubbard will replace the previously announced winner, Jean-Francois Suteau, who was compelled to withdraw due to unforeseen circumstances.
Hubbard began his career while apprenticing at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, as part of his curriculum at the American Culinary Federation Educational Institute in Arkansas. Upon graduating from the American Culinary Federation culinary apprenticeship, he went on to study baking and Pastry Arts at The California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. Later Hubbard relocated to Chicago, Illinois, to study at The French Pastry School. Following his continued culinary education, Hubbard held the role of Executive Pastry Chef at The Windsor Court Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, before his current position as Executive Pastry Chef at The James Chicago Hotel.
When hearing of his appointment, Hubbard commented, "I feel privileged to be representing the U.S. in the World Chocolate Masters and look forward to putting forth my best work for the jury. The next few months will be full of hard work and many challenges, but the experience I will come away with is more than worth it."
Hubbard will go on to compete against top culinary artisans representing 20 countries at the Finals of the 2013 World Chocolate Masters, an initiative of Barry Callebaut. World Chocolate Masters is in its 5th edition and is the only global culinary competition dedicated to the art of chocolate.

Owl Never Leaf You!
I finally have a new kit to share with you today! September has been a crazy month and October will be here before we know it. Fall is my favorite season. I love the colors, smells, tastes, holidays, and weather.
This kit was inspired by my this photo of my daughter from 3 years ago. I am so, so, so very behind in my scrapping!
It was fun looking at photos of her from this day and age. This particular picture was taken
at our local Pumpkin Patch.
I wanted to capture the essence of fall, but have a kit that would also work with her hot pink shirt!
So, without further ado, I give you Owl Never Leaf You.
I hope you will like it as much as I do! This kit contains over 50 elements, 18 papers, and 2 alphas
w/uppercase and numbers. It is 25% off for the rest of the month!
In case you haven't seen it yet, I also have a new freebie up on my Facebook Page.
If you missed my previous freebie, Morty the Monkey, you can now find him in my store for
$1.25 along with the rest of the Jungle Pals gang!

Notorious of its unpeace, the East district is ruled by five gangs. The five leaders, Jimmy, Cafe, Jupiter, Sa Chi and Man Sing share the same power over the area. Seemingly, everything remains calm, each gang owning its territory and conflicts rarely rising in-between. However, as Jimmy's wife Wah is so talented in managing their business which has been expanding in recent years, gradually they are the most affluent among all. Adversely, Man Sing is facing down turn of his empire, business shrinking in scale and its power narrowing down.

Women with diabetes need to take special care when they become pregnant. There is also a certain form of diabetes called 'gestational diabetes' in which diabetes is diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy. Uncontrolled diabetes during pregnancy can adversely affect the developing foetus.
Gestational diabetes affects 4 percent of all pregnancies. The prevalence of diabetes increases with increasing maternal age.
There are usually no signs and symptoms of diabetes in pregnancy unless the sugars are very high. Gestational diabetes is usually detected during routine screenings of pregnant women. An oral glucose tolerance test is recommended at 28th week of pregnancy to establish the diagnosis of diabetes.
The exact cause of gestational diabetes is not known. There are certain hormones secreted from the placenta which block the action of mother's insulin in her body. Certain factors like obesity and family history of diabetes increase the chances of getting diabetes during pregnancy.
Poor control of diabetes in pregnancy may affect the baby. The excess glucose in the mother's blood goes through the placenta leading to high blood glucose levels in the baby. Consequently, the baby's pancreas makes extra insulin which leads to abnormally increased size of the baby called 'macrosomia' resulting in problems during birth. They can also have very low blood glucose levels at birth and are also at higher risk of breathing problems. Such babies have higher chances of obesity in childhood and type 2 diabetes in the future.
Women with gestational diabetes are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and should undergo regular screening.
Maintaining strict control of blood glucose levels is of prime importance in avoiding complications and having a successful pregnancy. The treatment involves healthy balanced diet under the supervision of a nutritionist, regular physical activity and drugs, if needed. Both oral drugs as well as insulin are effective in controlling blood sugar levels. Regular self-monitoring of blood glucose is necessary to achieve the goals.

I belatedly realised after I went to this exhibition that I should have invited my very good friend, and also very Greek friend, Melina. Melina, I disappoint. I am a terrible friend.
Much as I love to party party, and dance to um, celeb DJs (iTunes Party Shuffle), what I really love are exhibitions, and being able to be in a room and if not touch, stand very close to clothes that I will never own, but am just happy to be next to them. I suggest never going to an exhibition with me because I do get very absorbed in clothes and pictures. And my mouth is open a lot.
I headed to the private view of the SIX plus THREE DESIGNERS Exhibition at the Hellenic Centre, in Marylebone with my good friend and fellow blogger/writer/and all around top banana Akeela. Upon arriving at the Hellenic Centre, a deceptively slim townhouse, but a lovely high ceilinged space inside, we listened to a speech by Ioanna Papantoniou, President of the Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation on the exhibition.
The exhibition shows six contemporary Greek designers of the 20th Century who revolutionised the concept of couture in Greek, Jean Dessès, Yannis Evangelides, James Galanos, Dimis Kritsas, George Stavrapoulos, and Yannis Tsekenis. Alongside these six designers were three Greek international designers, Mary Katrantzou, Marios Schwab (whose stuff I adore) and Sophia Kokosolaki.
Top to bottom: Mary Katrantzou AW11, Mary Katrantzou SS11, Sophia Kokosolaki, Mary Katrantzou, Mario Schwab SS12, Sophia Kokosolaki.
Mary Katrantzou was the flavour du jour, with several attendees decked out in her clothes.
Greeks need to stop being so bloody cool. I don't know many other guys who'd pull off the ladies blazer. Except Matthew Zorpas – another GREEK.
It was a rather lovely evening as we also ran into Kristabel of I Want You To Know and her painfully stylish mother Sandria (in Mary K no less), and spent a rather pleasant time, talking, standing too close to the mannequins (because I don't get invites to the shows *cough* not that fancy a blogger really), chasing waiters for canapes and discussing my inability to talk like a normal person in mixed company.
I spent the rest of the night next to this plate.
If you're in the Baker St area, the exhibition runs until the 22 March and is free entry. Highly recommend popping down there, especially if you're a fan of Mary, Marios or Sophia.
The Universal Greek Fashion Designers Exhibition runs from to 12th to 22nd March at the Great Hall @ The Hellenic Centre.

Blues Recall Hakanpaa
ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced Tuesday the Blues have recalled defenseman Jani Hakanpaa from the club's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Peoria Rivermen.
Hakanpaa, 20, has appeared in 14 games with the Rivermen this season, posting four points (one goal and three assists).
Prior to joining Peoria, the 6-foot-5, 218-pound defenseman dressed in 34 games for Espoo of Finland's SM-liiga, recording five points (two goals and three assists) to go along with 34 penalty minutes.
The Kirkkonummi, Finland native was drafted by the Blues in the fourth round (104th overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft.
This guy is big. Likely recalled for depth heading into the playoffs. Only player I can see him replacing his Leopold. While many seem to think he has been good, he has not been good on the power play at all. Still wondering why Hitch kept throwing him out there when it clearly was not working.

This game is so good that I will be spending £300 (or so) on a PS3 just so I can own a copy and play it, enough said! It's so much fun!
1 BooooringDepecheMan | 17/11/2008 | See all DepecheMan's reviews (1)Tried it for an hour but never came to anything fun at all. Will trade it for almost anything else.Overhyped as normal. That the price is set down already should tell something.
5 Little Big Bundle Of Joy!Icarus | 26/09/2008 | See all Icarus's reviews (29)Top 100 Games Reviewer Having been granted a Beta key I have been enjoying what can be no less than a total refreshment to entire gaming franchise.Little Big Planet is an absolute joy to play, with really imaginative levels not only by the creators but by everyone who plays the game too! Ranging from Bank Heists, Sackboy Tetris, to Rocket Skateboard races the possibilities really are endless when it comes to Little Big Planet.Stephen Fry narrates this game and it has to be said that he does a perfect job of capturing the Little Big Planet vibe and delivers a mighty fine performance.For creating a level, you simply use the tools which you obtain by playing the game. They include really helpful tutorials so it reduces the chances for you to go wrong and it's a great introduction into understanding how to create new and exciting levels and items.To me this is the game that will want people buying a PS3 for. A great game for children and adults alike this game will be around for an incredible length of time.Many thanks to Media Molecule and Sony for developing a truly wonderful game.

The Hill wrote:Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Thursday the Senate will not vote on Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) "Plan B" to extend tax rates for family income below $1 million.
The Democratic leader blasted Boehner for wasting time on "fiscal cliff" legislation that will not see floor time in the upper chamber.
"We are not taking up any of the things that they're working on over there now," Reid told reporters. "It's very, very, very unfortunate the Republicans have wasted an entire week on a number of pointless political stunts."
"The bill has no future, if they don't know it now, tell them what I said," he added.
Reid said Boehner should schedule a House vote on the Senate-passed bill to extend the Bush-era tax rates for family income below $250,000.
"The Senate bill is the only one that will be signed into law. We could protect middle-class families tomorrow," Reid said. "The Speaker refuses to bring our bill to the floor because it would pass."
Democratic leaders say the GOP plan will not see the light of day in the upper chamber because it raises taxes on middle-class families, does not extend the college tuition tax credit, the earned income tax credit or the child tax credit and includes an "unrealistic proposal" for the estate tax.
Boehner's plan would keep the top estate tax rate at 35 percent. It is scheduled to rise to 55 percent without congressional action.
"It will not come up for a vote in the Senate!" said Durbin, who called it "a disastrous plan which will hurt working families."
"It is not good for working families across this country," said Durbin, proclaiming it "dead on arrival."
Boehner's bill would make permanent current income tax rates for taxpayers earning up to $1 million a year but would allow taxes to increase for those making more. Party leaders were working Thursday to cobble together enough votes to pass the legislation, which some conservatives consider a tax increase.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on Thursday predicted that "Plan B" would pass, and said it's up to Senate Democrats to act.
"We want to avoid the fiscal cliff from happening. And again, I think the decision is for the White House and Senate Democrats to come join us so we can avoid the tax hikes for the American people and avoid the fiscal cliff," Cantor said.
Reid said the Senate has other important things to do, such as a $60 billion bill to pay for damage caused by Hurricane Sandy in New York, New Jersey and other areas.
"We're going to do our best to finish that in the next 24 hours or however long it takes," Reid said.
Senate Democrats also plan votes on the Defense authorization and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act authorization.
Reid said Boehner should return to the negotiating table with President Obama.
"Get back and start talking to the president," Reid said. "You have a multi-trillion dollar deal that they've been talking about, a multi-trillion dollar deal. They're a couple of hundred billion dollars apart."

SLICK - COLT Minute Man Solo Series, Scene #03
Hitting the showers, hunky COLT Man stud Jessy Ares looks SLICK and sexy under the running water.

As Jessy turns to show off his sweet bubbled butt, those firm mounds of muscle look ready to burst out as well. Wet and wild Jessy gives us a steamy show. Stroking his pole as the water runs down his hard and hairy body, spreading his ass cheeks to reveal his tight puckering hole, exploring his sexy body, all while you watch... up close and personal. His hard uncut cock in hand Jessy strokes with an deep down need for release. Heavy breathing and manly grunts and groans give way to his massive nut busting load.

The first movie under John Rutherford's direction at COLT studio, after purchasing the studio in 2003, was
RELOAD. Making a hardcore COLT Movie of this quality certainly required some dexterity. The production
had its challenges due to the underwater sex sequence involving Marcus Iron and Rob Romoni. Rutherford
wanted to push the boundaries with the ways viewers got to look at COLT Men by staging innovative shots
of underwater penetration. Award-winning videographer, Todd Montgomery, used an underwater camera
to capture the scenes up close far before anyone else in the industry was doing it at the time. The scenes
were seen up close and the performers were very excited to try something new. The COLT Movie
RELOAD and its underwater scene will be one to remember.
The mood on the COLT Movie set was overall very positive, as each of the guys knew they were making
history and helping to take COLT Studio in a great new direction for the new owners. Of course, having
the opportunity to participate in so much man-on-man action, with a group of muscular men, was also an
incentive to do great work on the set.

BLUES (22-6-3) vs. SENATORS (13-15-6)
Last 10: St. Louis 7-3-0; Ottawa 4-4-2
Season Series: The St. Louis Blues and Ottawa Senators play the first of two games in 2013-14. David Perron scored twice and Brian Elliott made 28 saves to lead the Blues to a 3-1 win against the Senators in Ottawa on Feb. 7, 2012.
Big Story: The Blues arrive in Ottawa on the tail end of a two-game road trip and riding the momentum of a 4-3 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. St. Louis won for the second time this season when trailing after two periods and coach Ken Hitchcock paid homage to Chris Stewart's toughness for paving the way to victory.
Stewart missed the second period with a hand injury, but returned in the third and tied the game with less than seven minutes to play.
''Chris Stewart showed a lot of guts and courage,'' Hitchcock said. "His hand was sore. He ends up scoring the tying goal. He gave us a real inspiration.''
Winners of three straight and four of five, the Blues enter Monday tied for the fewest regulation losses in the NHL (6) and are 11-3 against the Eastern Conference. They play a Senators team that is 6-9-3 at Canadian Tire Centre and 7-12-4 when it doesn't score first.
Team Scope:
Blues: Stewart's grit sparked the Blues and David Backes' 16th goal 22 seconds into overtime completed a comeback from down 3-1 Saturday. Goalie Jaroslav Halak stopped the final 26 shots he faced in the win.
"I think everybody had a piece in every part of this game, their team and our team," Hitchcock said.
Elliott, who played for the Senators from 2007-11, will start in goal for the Blues.
Senators: Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson allowed two goals on four shots in 4:18 before being pulled early in the Senators' eventual 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. The Senators are faced with a decision whether to go back to Anderson against the Blues or start Robin Lehner, who gave up three goals on 22 shots after taking over Saturday.
"We're going to wait, I'm still pondering that," Senators coach Paul MacLean said Sunday. "I haven't talked to [goaltending coach] Rick Wamsley yet. We've been doing a lot of stuff here today with getting stuff organized for St. Louis. We just haven't taken the time to sit down and discuss it. We'll do that before we leave today, we just don't have that decision right now."
Who's hot: Backes has five points (4-1-5) in his past four games and 10 in his past 15. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it's the most Backes has scored through any 15-game stretch since he had 10 from Jan. 6-Feb. 11, 2011. Stewart has two goals and an assist in his past two games. … Senators forward Bobby Ryan is 1-3-4 in his past five.
Injury report: Blues center Vladimir Sobotka (upper body) left the game Saturday and is day-to-day. Jordan Leopold (right index finger surgery) and Ryan Reaves (broken right hand) are on injured reserve … Senators defenseman Marc Methot (flu-like symptons) practiced Sunday and told reporters he's ready to go.

Geographic tongue is irregular patches on the surface of the tongue. This gives it a map-like appearance.
Patches on the tongue; Tongue - patchy; Benign migratory glossitis; Glossitis - benign migratory
The exact cause of geographic tongue is unknown. It may be caused by a lack of vitamin B. It also may be due to irritation from hot or spicy foods, or alcohol. The condition appears to be less common in smokers.
The change in pattern on the surface of the tongue occurs when there is a loss of the tiny, finger-like projections, called papillae, on the tongue. These areas look flat as a result. The appearance of the tongue may change very quickly. The flat-looking areas may remain for more than a month.
Your doctor will diagnose this condition by looking at your tongue. Most of the time, tests are not needed.
No treatment is needed. Antihistamine gel or steroid mouth rinses may help ease discomfort.
Geographic tongue is a harmless condition. It may be uncomfortable and last for a long time.
Call your doctor if the symptoms last longer than 10 days. Seek immediate medical help if:
Avoid irritating your tongue with hot or spicy food or alcohol if you are prone to this condition.
