The 256-171 vote, mostly along party lines, continues a stalemate on tax policy that lawmakers say will last beyond the Nov. 6 election. Nineteen Democrats voted for the Republican bill, and one Republican was opposed. The measure won't advance in the Democratic-led Senate.
"The choice Republicans have made is to pass this bill, work toward comprehensive tax reform and create jobs," said Representative Dave Camp, a Michigan Republican and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. "Now is not the time to dig the hole we're in any deeper."
Obama and congressional Democrats want to let the tax cuts expire for top earners, and each side is accusing the other of holding the country hostage to get its way.
If Congress doesn't act by the end of the year, tax rates for income, capital gains, dividends and estates will increase for all taxpayers. The top income tax rate would increase to 39.6 percent from 35 percent, and the top rate on capital gains would rise to 23.8 percent from 15 percent.
The tax increase is part of the $607 billion so-called fiscal cliff of automatic spending cuts and revenue changes in 2013 that the Congressional Budget Office says would probably cause a recession if left unchanged.
On July 25, the Senate voted 51-48 to pass a plan supported by Obama that would let the tax cuts for top earners expire. The House rejected that approach earlier today on a 170-257 vote.
Familiar Themes
In the House debate, lawmakers reprised familiar themes about the potential effects of higher taxes.
Republicans said the Democratic proposal would hurt the economy with a disproportionate effect on business owners who pay taxes on their profits through their individual returns.
"The choice is clear: you either want growth or you want more taxes," said Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, the House majority leader. "You either want to endow the folks who earn the money with the right to keep that money and grow this economy, or you want to tax those people more and let Washington decide how it's going to allocate that money."
Democrats said high-income households can afford to pay more to help reduce the federal budget deficit. Over a decade, the Democrats' plan would generate at least $900 billion more money for the government.
Most of the Republican plan's benefits would go to millionaires, including rock stars and business executives, said Representative Steve Cohen, a Tennessee Democrat.
Spending Money
"They can afford to pay it," Cohen said. "They're not spending their money. We need Americans who spend their money to stimulate the economy."
The Democrats backing the Republican plan included Larry Kissell of North Carolina, Bill Owens of New York, Gerry Connolly of Virginia and Jim Costa of California. The lone Republican to vote against his party's plan was Timothy Johnson of Illinois.
Democrats tried to draw attention to the Republicans' decision not to extend refundable tax credits created in the 2009 economic stimulus law that benefit college students and low-income families. That may include some low-income military families, Democrats said.
'At All Costs'
"This debate is not about tax reform," said Representative Sander Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee. "It's about whether or not we protect the very wealthy at all costs."
Republicans said Congress needs to keep the estate tax from increasing. The Senate bill wouldn't address the estate tax, a decision Democrats in that chamber made because of divisions within their party. If Congress doesn't act, the per-person tax exemption for estates would drop to $1 million in 2013 from this year's $5.12 million, and the top rate would increase to 55 percent from 35 percent.
The House will vote tomorrow on a separate Republican proposal to establish a fast-track process for considering a tax-code overhaul in 2013. The measure sets out parameters for an overhaul, which would cut the top corporate and individual tax rates to 25 percent from 35 percent, combine the six-bracket system into two and curtail or eliminate tax breaks.
"We do not need the politics of envy and divisiveness," said Representative Blake Farenthold, a Texas Republican. "We need tax reform and this puts us on the path to do it."
The Republican bill is H.R. 8. The Democratic alternative is H.R. 15. The Republican tax overhaul process bill is H.R. 6169. The Senate-passed bill is S. 3412.

Pau Gasol out for Lakers again Sunday, still battling upper respiratory infection
Dec 29, 2013, 5:00 PM EST
Pau Gasol will miss his second straight game on Sunday while still battling an upper respiratory infection, Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters at shootaround.
Gasol will miss three games in total with the ailment, which kept him out of L.A.'s loss to the Warriors eight days ago. He tried to play through it in contests at Phoenix and at home against Miami, with mixed results. Gasol logged just 10 points and four rebounds in 20 minutes against the Suns, but finished with 13 points and 13 rebounds in 29 minutes against the Heat on Christmas Day.
Chris Kaman got the start in Gasol's absence on Friday against the Jazz, and played well, finishing with 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting to go along with 10 rebounds and three blocked shots in 30 minutes of action. He has struggled, however, to gain D'Antoni's trust for whatever reason, and the coach told reporters that Jordan Hill will likely start in Kaman's place on Sunday against the Sixers.
The Lakers are currently riding a four-game losing streak, their longest of the young season. D'Antoni said he expects Gasol back in the lineup for the team's next game on Tuesday in Milwaukee against the Bucks.

Score from 127 reviews Very good
Nice atmosphere, comfy tv room, hammocks outside. Private room was big, clean, light, great bed. Breakfast was good; pancakes OR eggs OR cornflakes with salad and bread, very watered down juice.
Its slightly out of town, 10mins walk up a big hill but I think it was worth it. Staff were a bit grumpy, have their own ways at breakfast and kept butting in to peolle about their portion sizes and taking food outside. Shared Bathroom could do with being cleaned more than once a day.
It was very clean,good breakfast and great value for money!
The cinnamon hand soap in the toilet.
Clean and warm B&B. Owner was lovely and showed us where to go with recommendations. Easy 5 min walk into the main part of town.
Massage (optional) was only ok.
Staff speaks English and very helpfull Clean Good Wifi Clean kitchen and nice common room Good laundry service Possibility to rent a mountainbike for $6 Breakfast available for $2, worth it
Location just out of centre, but still walking distance. During our stay (16&17 oct.) a catholic event was happening. Fireworks went off 24/7. Had nothing to do with the hostel but very disturbing. Check before you go to Baños.
Owners are very helpful and friendly. The bathrooms are big and clean. They have a lot of organized tours and activities to keep you busy. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
Not a lot of storage or room for my bag in the dorm room. I was put in the top bunk and I always felt like my stuff was in someone's way.
Really nice, very friendly and helpful!
The facilities were great: the bedrooms, the bathrooms, everything. And also clean.
The hostal was almost empty and all clean when we got there at 11.30 , still we had to wait for check in untill 13h and the place is not that central. Further leaving our backpack was something complicated for the owner..
Ella and Jimmy were very welcoming when we arrived and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious, one of the best we have had in South America. The hostel is spotlessly clean and a great place to relax and chill out. The rooms are very comfortable and we slept really well.
Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Jimmy even gave me his spare charger after mine was stolen on the way to Baños and tge replacement I bought didn't work very well. Location was nice and quiet but close enough to town. The beer was plentiful and cheap!
The hostel itself was clean and comfortable. Breakfast and wifi were provided. There was a nice outdoor seating area where we were able to enjoy drinks after hours.
The staff, in particular the owners, were downright rude. As soon as they found out we weren't booking excursions through them they not only put down our excursion agency (which turned out to be fabulous and incredibly professional), but also had attitude with us the rest of the weekend. At one point one of our group members was POSSIBLY going to have to leave and asked if she would be able to get her money back. When she found out she was able to stay, she informed the owner and the owner said her bed and all others had been rented out. After a round about conversation, the owner said she was teaching her a lesson, don't say you might leave, but in reality no beds were rented out. Very unprofessional!
It was clean, quiet and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable and there were a ton of movies to watch in the common room for rainy days. It was away from the noisy bar area of the town and close to the trailhead for several trails. Also they say that they use wind energy for their electricity.
The wifi wasn't great upstairs... It was only really fair downstairs too... The breakfast is inconsistent.. One day we had this nice spread with eggs, fresh fruit and bread... The next it was just toast... A girl asked for some fruit or something to supplement the carbfest but they said " not today, it's different everyday" ... Different but definitely not equivalent :( The worst thing was that they have advertised these package deals where if you book an activity through them, they advertise a discount on your stay and a free massage. Well when it came time to pay, they insisted that this didn't apply to customers who reserved their room through booking.com ... It doesn't say this anywhere on the sign... They also made up several other reasons why they couldn't give me the discount ... None of which were indicated anywhere... After 15 min of haggling I was able to get them to at least lower the price reasonable. They weren't even at all apologetic that they had been misleading, in fact they kept telling me that the discount I negotiated was coming out of one of the staff member's pockets.. Trying to guilt me??? Any ways it's fine enough just avoid their "deals" and make sure everything is in writing... And don't expect a good breakfast everyday : /
Clean and comfortable hostel.
Location - too far from the center compared to other hostels.
Attentive friendly staff. Relaxing spot. Clean.
We enjoyed the friendly staff and very clean, welcoming atmosphere of the hostel. Not many people shared the bathrooms, making it well worth the money.
The hostel is an easy cab ride but a decent walk away from the center of Banos, considering the size of the city. Breakfast was appreciated but did not fill us up.
Really clean, great breakfast, nice hot showers.
a little further from the center by about 5 minutes than other hostels (not a bad thing if you want more peace)
Room was nice, breakfast was good and the place was clean.
It seemed as if the owners did not want to be there, weird atmosphere - not rude just a bit awkward. After leaving a similar review on another well known review website, they replied to the review by lying saying we were not sociable - we tried to be friendly but didn't get much in response. We also made a comment about the laundry weighing a different weight when dirty and then when clean - by a considerable amount which is not possible! They replied by saying they weighed it in front of us which is another lie because they did not and took it elsewhere to be cleaned.
The pictures don't do the place justice. It's very clean, and in great shape. The management there is very helpful and friendly.
The location is fine, but some people may not like that you have to walk up a hill to get to it.
Loved our stay at the hostel, very clean, quiet with a filling breakfast and nice staff. Location wise quite close to center
Only drawback: you need to pay to leave your luggage there after check-out
Excellent breakfast, very comfy beds and nice chill out area to watch movies on a rainy day!
Noise from outside- hundreds of dogs barking! Also the door to our room was noisy because the wood kept getting stuck.
The place was really nice and had a lot of places to relax or hang out outside of your room. They also had movies you could watch. They staff was also very good with giving directions and a map as to where things were in town. I also recieved a very nice and informative email beforehand. There was also a sign on the street before the street we needed to turn on which helped us find the way to the place the first time. We got a front door key so we could come and go as we pleased. Shower was also nice and had hot water. Bed was pretty comfy. It was also cool that their electricity came from renuable energy.
Breakfast was a little disappointing the first day. We got scrambled eggs as well the second day, but there was no fruit to eat. For as much as we paid and it said breakfast was included, I had the expectation of more variety for breakfast, or a more complete breakfast. Also, I was a little frustrated that they said they could only watch our bags for us until noon. They guy working there was nice enough to offer to stay until 2:00 pm, but I was frustrated that I couldn't check out and still do activities around town without my bags for the rest of the day. It was more than I wanted to spend for two nights. The blinds on our room didnt really keep it that dark in the morning. I also didn't like that when we picked up our bags again, we werent allowed to use the restroom or anything; we just had to take our bags and go.
Cleanliness and quietness were important. The owners were friendly and spoke English.
When the owners weren't there, the front desk person and maid didn't speak any English. The house was up a steep hill, but taxis were only $1 from town center...a nice six block walk downhill.
close to edge of town and quieter and accessible to hot-springs.
everything was good.
Fantastic vibe, great location and lots of common space/areas both inside and out, with a terrific garden and hammocks. We loved the owners, Jimmy is hilarious
The breakfast situation. 2-3 dollars more to eat a reasonably-sized breakfast would make this an 5-star hostel. Seriously, it is an incredible value as it is, so we'd totally understand charging a little extra.
This hostel was spotless, owners were very helpful and professional. The breakfast was great, fresh juice, eggs, fruit as well as bread and tea/coffee. There are two bikes that can be hired and a great detailed map to the casscades.
Small point, greater coverage for wi fi.

Ryan Freel's family is donating his brain to science for study of head trauma
Dec 31, 2012, 10:50 AM EST
Ryan Freel committed suicide via gun shot last week at age 36 and now his family is hoping that science can provide some answers about a possible link to his numerous concussions as an athlete.
Freel's brain tissue will be sent for testing at the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, where many former NFL players have been studied post-mortem for evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
Freel's ex-wife Christie Moore Freel shared some revealing details about her home life during 11 years of marriage, telling Mike Tierney of the New York Times:
I don't know how many times he would talk about sliding into second or third base and blacking out or seeing stars. I cringed that that's who he was–all-out, full throttle. It was very hard to watch. … I know a lot of people say they weren't shocked by it, but I really was. I really thought, at some point, the answer to all of this would come along for him. It just never did. I'm very hopeful. We certainly believe there is some sort of connection.
Freel's step-father told Tierney that the family believes he sustained at least 15 concussions and his ex-wife shared the story of a Venezuelan winter league game in which Freel had to be hospitalized for a concussion after crashing through an outfield wall.
Tierney's article also includes further details about Freel's memory loss and mood swings and other post-concussion symptoms, plus a whole lot of very sad stories and comments from his family. Hopefully at least the studying of his brain tissue can provide them with some answers and perhaps help future athletes in Freel's position.

SmartSynch, Sprint offering residential service
Published: October 12,2010
Tags: energy, telecommunications
JACKSON — SmartSynch Inc. and Sprint have introduced a residential utility meter that communicates over the Nationwide Sprint Network. This smart grid solution allows utilities to automate the electric grid through Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI), demand response and SmartSynch's network management.
"With more than 10 years of experience developing communications products in the machine-to-machine market, Sprint is dedicated to cooperative efforts with companies like SmartSynch to bring the best technology solutions to work in the smart grid," said Wayne Ward, vice president of the Emerging Solutions Group, Sprint.
The Nationwide Sprint Network reaches more than 306 million people in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
SmartSynch has been the leading provider of smart grid solutions utilizing cellular networks since the introduction of its first SmartMeter in 2000.
"Sprint is an industry leader in its support of M2M applications, and this joint solution could not come at a better time for utilities seeking a cost-competitive, secure and high-bandwidth alternative to more complex, slower proprietary solutions," said Stephen Johnston, chief executive officer, SmartSynch.

Acadian Companies, Schumacher Group, Louisiana Rice Mill receive top honors at annual Acadiana Top 50 Business Luncheon Sept. 1
As the executives who lead the region's top privately held and publicly traded companies gather next week for the third annual Acadiana Top 50 Business Luncheon, three of their peers will be recognized for standout performances. The annual luncheon is a commemoration of the region's top performing companies based on research that is published each August in The Independent's sister publication ABiz. The list ranks and reports the region's top business performers based on gross revenues.
On the heels of plans for a major expansion made public late last month, Dr. Kip Schumacher, CEO of Schumacher Group, has been named Dealmaker of the Year. Announced at a press conference with Gov. Bobby Jindal and other regional government officials at his side, Schumacher laid out a five-year plan to add 600 new jobs with average salaries of over $60,000 a year. The expansion includes $19 million in improvements to its local headquarters and training center, which means another 784 construction jobs. Schumacher ranked second among the Top 50 in this year's report.
A first-timer on the list is Louisiana Rice Mill, which burst on the scene at No. 11 with revenues of $196 million, earning the company The Newcomer of the Year Award. Based in Crowley with a second mill in Mermentau, LRM takes full advantage of access to deepwater ports in Lake Charles and New Orleans to export rice to the global market. The company also serves domestic customers with private label products. CEO Bobby Hanks will accept the award.
The Acadiana Honors Award, bestowed annually by the seven regional economic development professionals who comprise The Acadiana Economic Development Council, recognizes a company that exemplifies entrepreneurship, innovation, great corporate culture and a strong regional spirit. The award itself is an original piece of art created by renowned local artist Kelly Guidry and will be presented on behalf of the group this year by Lafayette Economic Development Authority CEO Gregg Gothreaux to The Acadian Companies and Acadian Ambulance. "From its Lafayette headquarters, Acadian Companies touches every community in Acadiana and is a major economic driver with $358 million in revenues in 2010," says Gothreaux. "It is the embodiment of Louisiana's nurturing Cajun and Creole culture. The company's leadership and employees are committed to the community — providing medical support at local events, education opportunities and exemplary volunteerism."
Acadian's chairman and CEO, Richard Zuschlag will accept the honor.
Keynote speaker will be Peter Ricchiuti, assistant dean of the Freeman School of Business at Tulane University. A former investment banker in the Boston office of Kidder Peabody & Co., Ricchiuti served for five years as the assistant state treasurer and chief investment officer for the State of Louisiana before joining the Tulane faculty. His highly-acclaimed Burkenroad Reports follows undervalued and overlooked stocks in six southern states. He and his program have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, BARRON's, CNBC, CNN, NPR and others. A popular speaker, Ricchiuti was also selected by the NFL to coach members of the New Orleans Saints on managing their investments.
Lafayette Police have had a busy day.
Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration will use $130 million in patchwork financing from a tax amnesty program, insurance settlement, uninsured motorist penalties and other excess funds to close most of the state's midyear budget deficit.

NOV 21 The new NOLA smoking ordinance is going to harsh your (nicotine) buzz, man. This post on Gambit outlines the high (or low, as the case may be) points: it includes electronic cigarettes and hookahs in its bans; eliminates smoking within 25 feet of any building's public entrance and in any public space - or near any public space - operated by the city.
NOV 20 Here's an interesting article in the New York Times. The authors have picked one dish to represent each state in a Thanksgiving meal. Louisiana's dish? Shrimp stuffed mirlitons.
NOV 20 Politico reports here that Bobby Jindal won't be kept out of the presidential race by anyone else's candidacy. (If he's running, which he's not, 'cause he's not done prayin' on it) So he's not interested in who is running, or what the polls say, or how much money he's got? K.
NOV 20 NOLA Defender's Tiny Daiquiri has a little fun with Bobby Jindal's Meet the Press appearance in this post. Bobby is still prayin' on whether or not he'll run for the job he's been running for over the past three years, Tiny says.

While Maya Rudolph was lapping up laughs and critical praise for her well-received stint hosting Saturday Night Live over the weekend, NBC made the surprising announcement that Lindsay Lohan will be the sketch show's next host, presiding over the upcoming March 3 episode. It will be the actress' fourth time hosting the show, though her last go at it was more than six years ago. Since then, Lohan has been in and out of rehab, courts, and prison for her litany of personal troubles. Other recent attempts at recapturing the spotlight have all fizzled, as Lohan was removed from her role in the biopic of porn star Linda Lovelace and her nude Playboy spread was widely ridiculed. Could a return to the SNL stage help Lohan finally launch a comeback?
Absolutely: SNL is the "perfect place to launch a career comeback," says Kate Ward at Entertainment Weekly. The SNL cast and crew have been in Lohan's corner throughout her recent troubles, and showrunner Lorne Michaels is reportedly so fond of the Mean Girls star the he refused to mock her when she hit rock bottom. Lohan's attempts at a comeback with roles in Inferno and Ugly Betty, and by posing for the cover of Playboy, "have only led to more ridicule." Hosting SNL will allow her "to be in on the joke."
"Lindsay Lohan hosting Saturday Night Live March 3"
And not a moment too soon: It's about time, says The Huffington Post. Booking SNL is a tell-tale sign that "things are looking up for the troubled actress." Lohan has reportedly been dutifully completing her community service and regularly attending therapy, suggesting that we really ought to take this comeback attempt seriously. And it comes just in the nick of time. "You can only watch someone crash and burn for so long."
"Lindsay Lohan to host Saturday Night Live with Jack White as musical guest"
This will probably fail, too: Enough already, says Instinct Magazine. Lohan is a talented actress, especially when she's showcasing her comedic chops on Saturday Night Live. But the star has already been given "chance after chance, only to screw it up everytime." Yes, "this is America, and everyone loves a comeback." But Lindsay is "on her seventh, at least," and there's no reason to think it will stick this time.

This is one of my pet peeves. A couple decades ago the science of anthropology categorized the human population using taxonomy terms such as Caucasian, *****, etc. At the time these were scientific terms never intended to draw any social implications. Apparently because the word ***** started with the same letter, N, as the word ******, it became "outlawed" by our culture. The bottom line is that a science, anthropology, allowed its self to change its rules because of social pressure. Apparently, presently, anthropology no longer draws any distinction in its taxonomy among the several races because of social pressure. I don't even want to get into my argument against describing blacks as African-Americans. Geese….

Fitch Ratings
Copper has the most bullish fundamentals of the exchange-traded base metals over the next 12 to 18 months, assuming a soft economic landing in China and a slow recovery in developed nations, Fitch Ratings said.
Prices for the metal are expected to remain well above
marginal costs of $2.15 per pound ($4,739.93 per tonne), while
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(Ebitda) for medium-cost producers should remain above 45
percent over the next 12 to 18 months, the ratings agency said
in a research note. Fitch expects U.S. copper consumption to
grow about 2 percent annually through 2014, mainly due to
increased auto industry demand....

As a kid, Austin Netzley remembered being enthralled with the concept of money and promising himself that one day he'd be wealthy. And now, at 28, by most people's measure, he is. He's been an athlete, student, engineer and entrepreneur. And at this point in his life, he considers himself "retired."
If Styles ends up being straight, the implications of his recent statements would be practically revolutionary. At his age, following the "bro" code typically means acting as straight and narrow as possible. How many straight guys are comfortable with being mistaken for gay or bisexual?
The human mind doesn't always work in our best interests when it comes to spending decisions. But the good news is that scientists are trying to tackle the problem -- and uncover how we can retrain our brains to make better choices.

TS Madison has become really popular over the past year. She is a YouTube sensation who recently got her own show on YouTube via World of Wonder. Madison just dropped her first album, so I thought it would be a perfect time for her to be asked "15 Questions."
Black, Asian and Latina women combined barely make up 1 percent of the total number of persons in top positions. White women comprise 14 percent.
In declaring a state of emergency in Missouri before any actual announcement by the Ferguson grand jury, Gov. Jay Nixon is shedding a valuable light on what happens when a culture of fearful white supremacy can't tolerate dissent, disorder, or difference.
My heart belongs to the ladies on 14th Street who stood with me night after night, trying to survive and just be their authentic selves. I cry today for those ladies who are no longer here with us in 2014, but my heart remembers them.
In May 2004, comedian, social critic and philanthropist Bill Cosby took the stage at Constitution Hall in his hometown of Philadelphia. It was a gala commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Brown decision on school segregation.
Whether or not Darren Wilson is indicted for his behavior in those 90 seconds, American society as a whole bears indictment for those four hours and thirty-two minutes. That level of disregard for black life cannot be attributed to the actions of one police officer.
Keeping control of overall debt is an important part of financial planning no matter what your stage of life. But a flat statement about eliminating all debt in retirement may be too simplistic. That's because the amount of debt you can comfortably handle is very individual and depends on your bigger financial picture.
Our daughters will learn from us how to value themselves. Whether we like it or not, we are responsible for what they are exposed to and what they hold up as values while they are young.
As we honor our friends and family we have lost to anti-transgender violence on Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), how can we ensure that transgender women of color are leading the LGBTQ anti-violence movement?
The focus of our strategy should not be on what we do or do not do with our military. The principal focus of our "fight" should be on getting the countries in the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, etc., to make the defeat of ISIS their responsibility.
For the second time in two months, Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri approved the execution of an African American man sentenced to die by an all-white jury. But Missouri and this governor have absolutely no moral authority to execute anyone.

Garcelle Beauvais is the cover girl of the August edition of Playboy magazine, expected to hit newsstands this week.
The bronze beauty, known primarily for her acting work on the TV sitcom 'The Jamie Foxx Show' and on the drama 'NYPD Blue,' is also pregnant and expecting twins later this year.
Talk about perfect timing.
Beauvais, who is married to talent agent Mike Nilon, is expecting two sons to be born this November, according to published reports. The twins are the first children for the interracial couple, who have been married since 2001.
Beauvais is already the mother of a 16-year-old son (Oliver) from a previous marriage.
Born in St. Marc, Haiti the screen siren's original claim to fame came in the form of fashion modeling. Signed to the Ford Modeling Agency at 17, she has graced the pages of Essence and Ebony and appeared in catalogs for Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom., along with print advertisment campaigns for brands such as AVON, and Clairol.
The Haitian sensation is also known for her parts in music videos for Luther Vandross and R. Kelly -- her role as Mr. Biggs' woman Lila Hart in the surreal and sad 'Down Low (Nobody Has to Know)' video is classic.
Over a decade later, the 40-year-old MILF (an acronym for mothers who are sexually attractive) is baring her all in a tasteful Playboy pictorial -- and is looking better than some women half her age.
On the acting front, Beauvais will next be seen in the thriller 'I Know Who Killed Me,' starring Lindsay Lohan and Julia Ormond, due out this summer.
I think posing for playboy was great. Why shouldn't she pose? She is beautiful and has a nice body. I would do it. So say "You go girl!"
I think posing for playboy was great. Why shouldn't she pose? She is beautiful and has a nice body. So I say "You go girl!"
this is how people end up getting their names defamed
Congrats to her on the babies & the cover!~She deserves it.
Gee, What a role model!! Is this something her children should be proud of??
If we don't start standing for something, We'll fall for anything. She did't have to do pose for playboy we already know she's a beautiful person with a body so why try to prove it to anyone else that is our problem everyone one thinks what ever this world has to offer is okay. now all the good things are bad, and all the bad things are good. What are we doing? I don't have to prove nothing to anyone The body that we have is a gift from God. And it is a beautiful thing but not to let the whole world exam it like i'm a freak in a side show. RESPECT YOURSELF. no matter what man wants.
If I had her body, I would walk around nekkid, dayum you people act like she posed with another woman in Penthouse or was shown in a compromising postion on the Internet. It's "Playboy"!..a very successful magazine that portrays the body as a work of art. It was very tasteful and she is gorgeous. I know everyone in this blog has seen some type of porn in their day, OMG I wonder what people would say about you!
Get a life... she is beautiful....
And to #6 she is not a sell out, and if you are referring to her husband, let's not forget the number of celebrity black men, who cross that line all the time... does that make them sellouts too?
#3... people get their names defamed by ignorant people..(i.e. Isaiah Washington). People get their names defamed by making tapes of themselves and expecting it to be private (i.e. Ray J.. and Ne-Yo). People get their names defamed, by preaching one thing, and doing the exact or extreme opposite (i.e Jesse Jackson...Brandy). People get their names defamed by drunk driving (i.e Vivica Fox, Shemar Moore, EVE, Diana Ross). People get their names defamed by getting caught with drugs and/or weapon (i.e. almost every rapper who is rapping today).People get their names defamed, by hopping in and out of bed, having unprotected sex, and having babies out of wed lock( i.e... some one we know)
No one (to my knowledge) has ever had their name defamed by posing for playboy.
Who cares what we think?What does her 16 year old son think?
Would most women out there feel proud and beautiful if their teenaged sons and their friends saw them in this way?
Be honest.

Reforming China's 'commanding heights'
by Michael Spence
Xi's effort to root out corruption has empowered both the party and the reformers. The question is how far they will take their reform ambitions.
Xi's effort to root out corruption has empowered both the party and the reformers. The question is how far they will take their reform ambitions.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's strategy of dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin stems from her keen understanding of 20th century history.
What is the geopolitical payoff for Russia in turning Ukraine's Donbas region into an enduring fixture of its southwestern hinterland?
What were Western leaders trying to achieve by humiliating Russia President Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit?
Few welcome Beijing as the Middle Kingdom, but many must recognize that China is increasingly the region's central economy.
The G-20 is not a meeting for learning or dialogue but for posturing and selfies.
Americans are avoiding unpopular choices by hiding behind ideological platitudes.
Scientists are being irresponsible if they judge the safety of GMOs based on the scattered experience of the past couple decades.
A quarter century after the fall of the Berlin Wall, democracy and prosperity have not really arrived for most people in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
A biography on Adolf Eichmann rebukes those who refuse to see the Holocaust as proof of the power of the most dangerous things — ideas that denigrate reason.
Last week, President Xi Jinping showed the world a newly assertive China that's less worried about impressing others than in pursuing its own goals.
Recent data shows Germany's unsustainable credit-fueled expansion is ending.

Nicky Henderson has been out of luck with his Triumph Hurdle runners since Katarino gave him his third success in the race in 1999, but Afsoun looks the one to put the Lambourn trainer back in business in today's opening race.
Twice successful on the Flat in France, Afsoun (2.00) emerged as a leading Triumph contender when beating Turko and Fair Along at the December meeting here. A 10 lengths victory at Huntingdon last month showed he had gone the right way, and Afsoun is reported in top form after a scare last week when he was off his food.
Although Turko and Fair Along reoppose on 7lb better terms, Afsoun probably has more to fear from some less exposed rivals, notably Detroit City and Mister Hight. Detroit City's Sandown form has taken a few knocks, but he looks the ideal type for this race.
Jonjo O'Neill said at the start of the week that Black Jack Ketchum (2.35) was his best chance of a winner this week. Unbeaten, and unextended in three victories this season, the seven-year-old stays well and has a turn of foot.
Travino faced an impossible task attempting to give a stone to Nicanor at Leopardstown, having previously beaten the SunAlliance winner under an enterprising ride at Navan. Both Travino and Black Jack Ketchum have form with Irish novice Powerstation which suggests there is not much between them, but Travino seems best with plenty of give.
Harbour Pilot (4.00) and Nina Carberry have the look of a winning team in the Christie's Foxhunter Chase. The blinkers which Harbour Pilot wore when finishing third behind Best Mate in the 2003 and 2004 Gold Cups are back on after his recent second to General Montcalm at Leopardstown.
Noel Meade, trainer of Harbour Pilot, feels the 11-year-old was not quite at his best at Leopardstown. However, that was a top-class hunter chase and, rather like the Gold Cup, today's Foxhunter is stronger on quantity rather than quality.
Tiger Cry (4.40) can uphold the good record held by novices in the Grand Annual Chase. Trained by Arthur Moore, successful in the race four years ago, Tiger Cry appreciates good ground and he gained valuable course experience when second to Bold Bishop in November.
