Spanglish Songs
Mi amigo, Federico, randomly dropped a fun multilingual song in my comments and so that got me thinking of my favorite Spanglish songs. Here they are! Be sure to leave yours in comments! Please be aware, most of these songs are not appropriate for niños. There is strong language in some songs, and music videos in general, even if the language isn't strong, tend to objectify women, so please use discretion.
Kevin Johansen + The nada – Guacamole (Gracias, Federico!)
Me gustas tú by Manu Chao
Frijolero by Molotov (WARNING: Very strong language)
You ready for some old skool? That's It/Ya Estuvo by Kid Frost
Señorita by Los Lonely Boys
Electro Movimiento by Calle 13 …This song came out last year, but it is puro 1980′s in style.
Pitbull featuring Akon – Shut It Down
Rico Suave by Gerardo … Ay. Dios. Mio. Qué raunchy! I was like 10 years old when this song came out. I didn't understand the lyrics back then but was fascinated by the video. I can't believe my parents let me watch MTV at that age.
Cha Cha by Chelo
Stand by Me by Prince Royce
Dejalo Ahi by Fulanito
Yo Digo Baila by Mexican Institute of Sound
If You Want it by Pacha Massive
Okay, now which Spanglish songs do you like? Díme in comments!
Posted on December 2, 2010, in Language, música, Spanglish and tagged video. Bookmark the permalink. 28 Comments.
I am still laughing at the Rico Suave. I can't believe you have that on the list. LOL
Funny enough, I was thinking about that song a few days ago and tweeted something relating to whether or not anyone ever doubted that he would be a one hit wonder. LOL
As a side note, one of my older sisters knew his family. His younger brother went to the same high school with my sis.
All great songs, but you left out the ORIGINAL spanglish song…Mentirosa by Mellow Man Ace! My cousins and I used to LOVE that song! (And yes, I am that old!) :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hI2-yLKZmE
I was about to leave a comment about "Mentirosa" too–I'm glad I'm not the only one! My cousins and I loved that song and I'm pretty sure we still know all the words (which will now be running through my head, I'm sure).
LOL! I've been singing "Mentirosa" all day long! :)
I love the me gusta song, i use to sing it all the time just to annoy my siblings. Also anything calle 13 is cute. There is a cute song my yolanda perez called estoy ennamorada ft don cheto I think you'd like it!! it uses both as well and cracks me up!
Yes!!! Awesome post! I too believe "Rico Suave" aka Gerardo had a part in mi obsesión latino jaja! Perhaps I was born with it. I distinctly remembering having a crush on our elementary school principal, Mr. Lopez…and I was only about 7 yrs old! I'll have to go back and watch some of the other videos you posted.
And yes, thanks to Keen, the lyrics to Mentirosa are now running through my head, jaja!
"Stand By Me" is Jose's favorite over here at our house… don't think he's quite ready for the video though. :)
Remember Flex/Belinda Te Quiero? It's still on my ipod.
A year or two ago it was Watagatapitusberry (Del Patio's original, not Pitbull's) as well as Shake Lo Ke Tu Mama Te Dio and and Alex Sensation mixes. This summer we were on Armada Latina and Abrazame por Los Rakas with Favi.
jajaja and now i realize Los Rakas isn't in english. but its still fun!
Does El Cata spanglish or does it just sound like english cause he talks so slow?
prince royce!!! ur like dha bestt i luv u veryy muuchh
11 ur so freaken cuteee!! <3
Shorty shorty by extreme. :) saw them last year, super!
Cool Post! But Manu Chau song "Me Gustas Tu" is Spanish with French

Cookit! Black mussels and chorizo
Cooking demo with Tony Biagetti of Handsome ...
Photo by CARRIE WISE // Buy this photo
Handsome Harry's
1205 Third Street South, Naples, FL
NAPLES — Chef Tony Biagetti of Handsome Harry's Third Street Bistro, 1205 Third St. S., Naples, 434-6400, flexes his mussels when he makes them with chorizo sausage on CookIt!
Biagetti, a native of Piscataway, N.J., is happy to demonstrate how to make his favorite dish, which is also one of the top sellers on the restaurant's menu. He has been the chef at Handsome Harry's for almost four years, but if he couldn't be a chef, he says, he would enjoy being a charter captain for backwater fishing and then cooking his clients' catch. Fresh fish off his charter boat or in his restaurant both would be sautéed with garlic, extra virgin olive oil and butter, which Biagetti always has available in his kitchen.
Biagetti's own favorite foods, not in any particular order, are French pastries, chocolate, truffle pasta and foie gras. If he could cook for anyone, he says he would really enjoy making osso bucco for his dad and would savor the meal and time together.
Here is Biagetti's recipe:
Black mussels and chorizo sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound black mussels
¼ pound chorizo sausage
2 tablespoons fresh chopped garlic
Juice from one lemon
4 ounces white wine
2 ounces butter, diced and softened
¼ cup manchego or Parmesan cheese, grated
½ cup, cilantro leaves, packed
Salt and pepper to taste
■ Preheat a 9- or 10-inch sauté pan with the olive oil until lightly smoking.
■ Add mussels carefully and sauté briefly.
■ Add chorizo and garlic cook for 2 minutes covered.
■ Add the wine and lemon juice and simmer covered until mussels open.
■ Add the butter, cheese and cilantro and simmer for 30 seconds.
■ Season with salt and pepper and plate.
■ Serves two.

How to Spring Clean in a Weekend
Spring-cleaning is a job that few people enjoy, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming, and you don't have to do it alone. Working together, your family can get it done in a weekend. Consider these suggestions to help pace yourself.
Get Ready:
List what you need to do and buy the needed cleaning supplies and equipment.
Arrange for a charity organization to pick up discarded items you want to give away or take them yourself.
Get Set:
Assign cleaning tasks to family members according to age and ability.
Stock plastic buckets or totes with cleaning supplies. Have trash bags handy.
Attach an extension cord to your vacuum cleaner so you can move quickly through rooms.
Spray the oven with oven cleaner Friday night. Put the drip pans from your stove and the ventilating fan/hood filter in a sink full of hot soapy water. Let them soak overnight.
Get up early Saturday morning and have family members strip bed linens (including mattress pads) and remove curtains that need washing.
Vacuum cobwebs from ceilings and corners, light fixtures, ceiling-fan blades, shutters, or blinds, door and window moldings, lampshades, pictures, windowsills, and baseboards.
Dust and polish wood furniture and shelves.
Clean mirrors and glass furniture tops.
Flip mattresses and put clean linens on beds.
Sweep floors and vacuum rugs or carpets.
Defrost freezer if necessary. Wipe off refrigerator shelves.
Clean inside microwave.
Finish cleaning oven and stovetop. Replace drip pans.
Vacuum, mop, and wax floor.
Remove shower-curtain liners. Wash for five minutes with a bath towel on delicate cycle; hang on a line or shower rod to drip-dry.
Spray shower, tub, and toilet with cleaner. (Be sure to open a window or turn on exhaust fan first.) Let solutions soak in, then wipe off and rinse clean.
Then, when the day is done, order up a great dinner or take the family out to celebrate a job well done.

You're still not getting it! No one wants what they can't have - the good old days - they no longer exist. What we want and CAN have is a better future for T&F than what we are enduring now.

Comments On Mar 07, 2013:bought this tire before going to moab. rode about ~20 hours and honestly it wore more than id like, about 50% left, where as other guys with bridgestones have 65-70% tread left. The grip stayed similar throughout the tread depth which is nice. on the slick rock any tire is fine but even on the last day with half my tread left, the grip in sand was pretty good. I wouldnt buy this tire for riding the local trails every weekend but if youre going on a big vacation or to tracks and go through tires like socks anyway, its a good one.

Margot Fonteyn
From Wikiquote
Dame Margot Fonteyn (18 May 1919 - 21 February 1991) was a British ballet dancer, born Margaret Hookham, and nicknamed "Peggy".
- The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disastrous.
- As quoted in in Simpson's Contemporary Quotations (1988) by James Beasley Simpson; also quoted in Running on Empty: Meditations for Indispensable Women (1992) by Ellen Sue Stern, p. 235
- Paraphrased variants: The most important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative, and the second disastrous.
Take your work seriously, but never yourself.
- What a beautiful step! I shall never be able to do it.
- As quoted in Encyclopedia of World Biography (1998) edited by Paula Kay Byers and Suzanne Michele Bourgoin, Vol. Hox-Kie, p. 504
- Genius is another word for magic, and the whole point of magic is that it is inexplicable.
- As quoted in Thoughts from Earth (2004) by James Randall Miller
Margot Fonteyn : Autobiography (1975)[edit]
- Minor things can become moments of great revelation when encountered for the very first time.
- p. 9
- Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art. Any sort of pretension induces mediocrity in art and life alike.
- p. 81
- I need to have a purpose in life and for that I might sacrifice some of the luxuries that I enjoy; fortunately I am fairly adaptable. I try to be aware, flexible and unbiased in my thinking. If I have learnt anything, it is that life forms no logical patterns. It is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return?
- p. 272
- Variant: Life forms illogical patterns. It is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return?
- As quoted in Simpson's Contemporary Quotations (1988) by James Beasley Simpson
- There is probably no life more enchanting than that of ballerinas. More than half their lives is spent in a world of imagination, unreal if you wish, but unlimited and totally absorbing. Into this world the difficulties and frustrations of ordinary life cannot enter. These must lurk outside the stage door until the music, the applause and the lights have faded and the exhilarated dancer comes back to earth.
- Life offstage has sometimes been a wilderness of unpredictables in an unchoreographed world.
Quotes about Fonteyn[edit]
- How to put something so visual, so potent with theatrical moment that even film cannot capture it, into plain words? How to explain why it is that when, to a particular strain of music, an ordinary mortal steps forward on one leg, raises the other behind her and lifts her arms above her head, the angels hold their breath?
- Meredith Daneman, in Margot Fonteyn (2004) p. 1

Solid Waste
Solid Waste Facilities List l Annual Report l Demonstration of Need l Solid Waste Spreadsheets l
Financial Assurance Training l Compliance and Enforcement l Consolidated Solid Waste Landfill Regulation
The S.C. Solid Waste Management Annual Report
This annual report includes a comprehensive overview of the amount and/or composition of waste that is recycled, disposed of and incinerated.
Demonstration of Need
Demonstration of Need (DON) refers to the criteria established for the
geographical placement and allowable annual
disposal rate of new and expanding solid waste
management facilities. The original DON regulation
was promulgated in June 2000 and on June 26,
2009, a revision to Regulation 61-107.17 SWM:
"Demonstration of Need" became effective.
The DON regulation addresses commercial Class 2 landfills, and Class 3 landfills, commercial solid waste incinerators that incinerate waste other than wood waste or yard trimmings (also known as Class 3 incinerators) and commercial solid waste processing facilities that process waste destined for disposal at Class 3 solid waste landfills. The regulation defines a facility as being "non-commercial" if it manages only the solid waste generated in the course of normal operations on property under the same ownership or control as the facility itself (i.e., "on site"). Non-commercial facilities are not required to demonstrate need. The DON regulation stipulates that where there are at least two commercial solid waste management facilities of the same type within a planning area, no new facility is allowed.
Planning area is defined as a 75 mile radius for all Class 3 landfills, Class 3 solid waste processing facilities, and Class 3 incinerators, and a 20 mile radius for all Class 2 landfills.
Demonstration of Need Maps (pdf)

Solid Waste Policy and Management Act of 1991 requires that all permitted landfills, processing facilities, transfer stations, incinerators, composting facilities, and tire processors have a financial assurance mechanism in place to ensure that funds are available for clean-up of the facility at the time of closure and to cover any post-closure care that may be required. Financial assurance is also required for any corrective action at landfills where groundwater contamination has been detected. Financial assurance ensures proper long term financial planning by owner/operators so that sites will be closed properly and maintained and monitored in a manner that protects human health and the environment. The amount of financial assurance required is based on the current Department-approved closure and/or post-closure cost estimate. Owners/operators can select from a list of approved financial mechanisms that best suit their individual needs.
Types of financial assurance mechanisms accepted by the Department include Certificates of Deposit, Irrevocable Letters of Credit, Insurance, Surety Bonds Guaranteeing Payment or Performance, Trust Funds, Corporate Financial Tests, Local Government Financial Tests, and Local Government Guarantees. The required wording of the mechanisms is in Solid Waste Forms. For additional information, contact Pete Stevens at (803) 898-1372.
Professional Training for Operators of Solid Waste Landfills
and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Transfer Stations
Class 3 Landfill Operators Training Course, April 8-11, 2014
The Class 3 Landfill Operators Training Course is full at this time, please check back for future updates.
The Division of Mining and Solid Waste Management offers professional training programs for operators of Class 2 Landfills, Class 3 Landfills and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Transfer Stations.
These training programs ensure that all solid waste facility operators are professionally trained and re-certified on a regular basis in order to stay up-to-date of changes in solid waste technology as well as changes in South Carolina's environmental laws and regulations.
This training will help improve the design and operational practices at landfills and transfer stations and shall increase the operators' awareness of the impact on human health, safety, and the environment. Supervision of the operation of a Class 3 Landfill shall be the responsibility of a qualified individual that has completed operator training courses and is certified pursuant to Regulation 61-107.14 Solid Waste Management: Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Operator's Certification. This regulation defines "operator" as: any person, including the owner, who is principally engaged in, or is in charge of, the actual operation, supervision, and maintenance of a MSW landfill and includes the person in charge of a shift or period during any part of the day. Operators are classified by two categories: 1) "manager" means the person(s) with the responsibility for the overall management of the facility; and 2) "supervisor" means the person(s) with the supervisory responsibility for a specific facility site or shift.
Participants who complete one of the Class 3 Landfill training programs and pass the written examination will be certified for three years and may maintain certification by earning a specific number of continuing education units approved by DHEC over the three-year period(s). Additionally even though training for operators of Class 2 landfills and transfer stations is not currently required by regulation, DHEC strongly recommends that all operators take advantage of these voluntary training opportunities. Each training course is offered annually. Typically, Class 2 Landfill and Transfer Station courses are held in the summer, Class 3 Landfill Managers in the fall, and Class 3 Landfill Supervisors in the spring. For additional information, contact Pete Stevens at (803) 898-1372.
Consolidated Solid Waste Landfill Regulation
Regulation 61-107.19 Solid Waste Management: Solid Waste Landfills and Structural Fill became effective on May 23, 2008.
The new regulation addresses all solid waste landfills and structural fill activity in the State and repeals four existing regulations (R. 61-107.11, R. 61-107.13, R. 61-107.16, and R. 61-107.258) governing these landfills. The new regulation improves solid waste management in four key ways:
- Directs disposal based on characteristics of waste instead of source of generation;
- Provides better protection of the environment and public health;
- Facilitates public notification and input for permits; and
- Requires registration of all structural fill activities.
Landfill Classifications Changes
|Old Classification
|New Classification
|* Land-clearing Debris Landfill
|* Construction and Demolition Landfill
* Industrial Solid Waste Class I Landfill
|* Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
* Industrial Solid Waste Class II Landfill
* Industrial Solid Waste Class III Landfill
Structural Fills
Under the regulation, structural fill activities that use a limited, inert waste stream consisting of hardened concrete (may include rebar), clean hardened asphalt, bricks or masonry blocks, and/or land-clearing debris must be registered by the Department.
For more information on structural fill requirements, see Structural Fills. View Regulation 61-107.19.
Class 1 Landfill
Regulation 61-107.19 Part III contains the requirements for Class 1 Landfills. This section of the regulation addresses the general permit, general provision that are specific to Claas 1 landfills, notice of intent procedures, and record keeping and reporting requirements.
|Guidance Documents:
|Class 1 Landfill Operating Criteria
|Extract of SCDHEC Letter to Class One Landfills
Class 2 Landfill
Regulation 61-107.19 Part IV establishes criteria for Class 2 Landfills. These landfills may accept solid wastes for disposal that are listed in Appendix I of the regulation; solid wastes that are not on the Appendix I list but have similar properties and are approved by the Department for the facility; and/or solid wastes that test, through waste characterization, at less than ten (10) times the maximum contamination limit (MCL) per Regulation 61-58, State Drinking Water Regulation and approved by the Department for disposal at the facility.
Class 3 Landfill
Regulation 61-107.19, Part V contains criteria for landfills that accept municipal solid waste, industrial solid waste, sewage sludge, nonhazardous municipal solid waste incinerator ash and other nonhazardous waste. Hereinafter, these landfills will be referred to as Class 3 landfills. Class 3 landfills shall adhere to their approved Special Waste Analysis and Implementation Plan (SWAIP), per S.C. Code Section 44-96-390.
|Guidance Documents:
|Special Waste Analysis & Implementation Plan
|Extract of SCDHEC Letter to Class Three Landfills
Structural Fills
Regulation 61-107.19, Part II contains the legal requirements for structural fills. This section of the regulation addresses the general provisions that are specific to these activities and provides permit-by-rule registration, location, design, operational and closure requirements.
Structural Fills as Defined in the Regulation
"Structural fill" means land filling for future beneficial use utilizing land-clearing debris, hardened concrete, hardened/cured asphalt, bricks, blocks, and other materials specified by the department by regulation, compacted and landfilled in a manner acceptable to the department, consistent with applicable engineering, and construction standards and carried out as a part of normal activities associated with construction, demolition, and land-clearing operations; however, the materials utilized must not have been contaminated by hazardous constituents, petroleum products, or painted with lead-based paint. Structural fill may not provide a sound structural base for building purposes.
"Beneficial fill" means filling to surrounding grade, low areas or depressions in the surface of the earth to include permitted mining sites for an aesthetic benefit.

Tomograph, United Kingdom, 1950-1959
Using this Polytome, a type of tomograph, a radiologist can X-ray parts of the body such as the skull or spine focussing on a particular bone joint. The patient is very precisely positioned and has to lie or sit completely still. The machine is very stable to ensure accurate exposures are obtained for a few seconds at a time. Parts of the tomograph then move around the patient to scan and film in a straight line, at different angles or in a preset pattern such as an ellipse to create a tomogram. Taking X-rays from different angles aid clinical diagnosis as the centre of the image is sharp but details outside the area of interest are blurred. The Polytome was developed by Raymond Sans, and Jean Porcherat the Radiology department of the Assistance Publique hospitals in Paris, France. Their first experimental model was introduced in 1949. It incorporated the ideas of E M Bocage who proposed isolating the region of the body that needed to be X-rayed. Bocage had worked in a French military X-ray unit during the first world war. He patented his idea for the 'Technique and mechanism of a moving X-ray film' in 1921. This machine was manufactured by Massiot Philips, based in Paris, France. This tomograph was used in Department of Radiology at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, England, from the late 1950s. Tomography was much used as a diagnostic tool until the late 1970s. It was replaced by the Computed Tomography (CT) scanner developed by Godfrey Hounsfield at EMI.

This week on NPR "Day to Day," a five-part series of reports I brought back from Central America: "Guatemala: Unearthing the Future."
One European visitor in the 1800s called this country "Land of the Eternal Spring," and its volcanoes, ancient ruins, and rich Mayan culture make the place feel mythic even today. But suffering also defines Guatemala, and scars from a decades-long civil war have yet to heal. The war that claimed more than 200,000 lives ended ten years ago, but its lingering effects have left some 80% of the population in poverty. In this series, you'll hear stories from people who are trying to fight that, applying innovative, home-grown technologies to solve old problems.
The first of these reports focuses on a group called the Forensic Anthropology Foundation of Guatemala (FAFG), a nonprofit comprised of technologists, anthropologists, and archaeologists who unearth mass graves from political massacres. They work to identify the dead and return the remains to their families for dignified reburial. The process begins with the hard work of the exhumation itself, but they also use DNA forensics and software they develop themselves, so they can identify a greater portion of the remains, and preserve evidence that could be used in criminal trials. FAFG staff routinely deal with death threats from those who do not support their work.
Link to "A Database for the Dead," with streaming audio (Real/Win).
MP3 Link for today's segment.

Also today, NPR is launching a "Xeni Tech" podcast where these reports (and everything else I file for the network) will be available in DRM-free MP3: Link.

Japanese Art's Influence on American Artists Explored During September 7 Lecture at the Clark
For Immediate Release
August 13, 2008
David Park Curry, senior curator of decorative arts, American painting, and sculpture at the Baltimore Museum of Art, will present the lecture "In Praise of Shadows" on Sunday, September 7, 3 pm, at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. Curry will explore the reception of Japanese art in the West and how late nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century American painters, including many of the artists featured in the Clark's current exhibition Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly, found inspiration in Japanese art and Japanese approaches to appreciating beauty. Admission to the lecture is free.
In 1933, novelist Jun'ichiro Tanizaki published In'ei Raisan (In Praise of Shadows), exploring for Western readers the significance of light and darkness in traditional Japanese culture. Tanizaki described an approach to enjoying art displayed in soft light, taking extraordinary pleasure in the beauty of shadowy recesses and quiet contrasts. Finding resonance between the exquisite surfaces of Japanese objects and the surfaces created by some American painters, Curry will draw attention to the subtle and subdued shadows of Japanese art that survive in numerous turn-of-the-century American canvases.
In addition to his position at the Baltimore Museum of Art, Curry has served as curator at the Freer Gallery of Art, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Denver Art Museum. He has written extensively on Whistler and other leading American artists. His publications include American Dreams: Paintings and Decorative Arts from the Warner Collection; Fabergé: The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; American Impressionism and Realism: The Painting of Modern Life, 1885-1915; Childe Hassam: An Island Garden Revisited; Winslow Homer: The Croquet Game; and most recently, James McNeill Whistler: Uneasy Pieces.
Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly is the first exhibition to explore "painting softly," a distinctive and unexamined approach to painting exemplified in works by James McNeill Whistler and George Inness. Like Breath on Glass brings together forty paintings by leading American artists working around 1900, including Whistler, Inness, William Merritt Chase, John Twachtman, Eduard Steichen, and others, to examine this style of painting through which artists obscured their brush strokes. The exhibition is on view through October 19.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open daily in July and August from 10 am to 5 pm (closed Mondays September through June). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Beautiful Choices and Affordable Prices! – I had a similar experience as the other reviewer and spent entirely too much money for a hair system that didn't look as good nor last any longer than the much more attractive and affordable wigs styles available at Adorn's Wig Shop. Trust me!. Don't waste your time and money by going to expensive downtown salons. You can find beautiful and affordable wigs plus excellent and friendly service at Adorn's.
I am providing this review as a service and shopping aid to all women struggling with hair loss and self esteem issues. Dare to be confident and beautiful again...you deserve it~
Great Service, Great Product. – Wow! My wife went to Adorn Wig Shop after a completely miserable and expensive experience at William Collier's in Seattle. Spent over 12 hours in the chair at Colliers to get a wig that looks like a wig.
Immediately my wife was presented with a wig that was exactly what she described.
After 45 minutes in Adorn Wigs she walked out with exactly what she wanted. Styled perfectly, fit perfectly and at less then 1/2 the cost of the Collier fright wig (no refunds). She is almost as happy as if her own hair had been restored.

Is cloud computing fulfilling its promise of matching capacity demand? We were told cloud computing was all about new technology and unlocking the ability to run today's and tomorrow's use cases, however, now the biggest cloud computing provider wants to sell into the enterprise. The model of cloud computing we were promised has not come to fruition—have we been duped?
Many providers offer pre-packaged cloud instance sizes and tie their best offers to three year agreements, however, this looks an awful lot like that stepwise capital expenditure spending we were all trying to avoid. Do you ever wonder how much cloud infrastructure in these cookie-cutter sized virtual machines have CPU or RAM resources go un-utilized? Or ask yourself why hourly billing remains the dominant paradigm despite the ability to shift to more granular per minute billing? Add in the fact that "commodity or custom low-end hardware" has slowed Moore's law and is holding performance hostage to drive mass adoption of Cloud Computing 1.0 architectures and we have to wonder—are we actually heading towards true Cloud IaaS? This session will explore these issues and asks out loud, "Is there a better way?"

The Legal Obligations of Conducting a Background Check
You're filling out the application for a new job and there it is in bold letters: You must agree to a background check as a prerequisite for employment. During the interview you are asked, "If we check for criminal records, are we going to find anything?" At the bottom of the application it says: Anyone who knowingly provides incorrect information, or incorrect information through omission of fact, can be subject to termination at any time.At the end of the interview, the prospective employer gives you a written form asking for your permission to run an extensive background check that will verify your Social Security number, driving record, criminal record, credit records and civil court records.
Does your employer have the right to do this? Should you sign? What are your rights?
The Legal Obligations of Conducting a Background Check
The reason for background checks
More employers are performing criminal background checks on new hires. In some states and for some professions, it is a legal requirement. One of the primary reasons is an increase in negligent-hiring lawsuits. An employer, says Lynn Peterson, president of PFC Information Services Inc. in Oakland, Calif., "can be sued for actions taken on the part of an employee."
An employer has a legal responsibility to hire someone who is safe, qualified and fit for the position. "If they fail to use reasonable care and they hire someone that they either knew or should have known presented a foreseeable risk of harm to a third party, then that employer is liable," says Lester Rosen, attorney and president of Employment Screening Services Inc. in Novato, Calif.
The size of financial settlements, awarded by juries, in these negligent hiring lawsuits is on the rise. "In 1999, employers lost 60 percent of all negligent hiring/supervision jury trials," according to "Practical Guide to Employment Law." And the average settlement is more than $1.6 million dollars according to at least one study, says Jason B. Morris, president of Background Information Services Inc., of Cleveland.
Another reason employers are running background checks is, well, people lie. "We know, nationally, when you look across all industries that about 10 percent of all applicants have some sort of criminal record," says Rosen. "That doesn't mean it's a disqualifying criminal record. It's a form of discrimination to automatically reject an applicant with a criminal record without considering whether there's a good business reason, but at least an employer needs to know if there's a criminal record involved. We know that up to 40 percent of resumes contain material omissions or fraudulent statements about credentials, education or employment. Some studies suggest that up to 40 percent of resumes contain some piece of fiction that is beyond the bounds of good taste."
But what about you? You don't have a criminal record. You have good credit. Why should you have to agree to a background check?
Maybe the background checks protect you as well. "In the larger scheme of things, I think it's very important to ensure that you're hiring people who are safe, from the perspective of the people who are co-workers," says Peterson. "I think it's very important to know that the person working next to you is a safe person. Particularly if you're talking about sending people out into the home; you've got to do it."
Types of background checks
So what's out there? Exactly what pieces of your personal history can your employer delve into?
- Resume and employment verification.
- Social Security number verification. It is illegal for an employer or third-party consumer reporting agency (CRA) to access the Social Security Administration for this purpose. This is performed using public records and credit bureau data.
- Criminal record checks. This is not a database check, if done correctly. The National Crime Information Center's (NCIC) database is not currently available to private employers, though legislation is being considered. A criminal record check is performed at county courthouses and sometimes state records are checked. Says Peterson, "The records are not available online and we have to send what we call a 'court-runner' out to the courthouse just as a quick check of the files to see if there's any criminal information pertaining to that person."
- Department of Motor Vehicles. Your driving record may be checked whether the job requires driving or not. It's an easy way to verify date of birth and addresses. "A driving record," says Rosen, "is a true statewide criminal record of that particular state, and it might reveal some level of responsibility. It might not matter if someone made an illegal left turn, but if somebody didn't go to court to deal with it may be suggestive."
- Civil court records. This can reveal lawsuits in which the potential employee was either a plaintiff or defendant in a case concerning a former employer. "In many states," says Peterson, "restraining orders are regarded as civil records, and if somebody has had a restraining order filed against him, it may be a cause for concern."
- Worker's compensation. Accessibility varies from state to state.
- Credit report. "A credit history check is allowed under the Fair Credit Reporting Act for employment purposes," says Tena Friery, research director with the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. "This means that employers can make these kinds of nonskills determinations and reach a conclusion that if somebody is reliable at paying their own bills, they'll be a reliable employee, which certainly overlooks that some people have a bad credit history for medical reasons or for things that are really beyond their control."
- Sexual offenders databases.
Your rights
Background checks are covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which in turn is covered by the Federal Trade Commission. "There is a specific law that covers background checks by third parties, and that law is the FCRA," says Friery. It's the same law that governs the credit reporting industry, but it also covers a number of other kinds of consumer reports, one of which is the employment report."
Among its many provisions, the FCRA gives the following rights to consumers:
1. The request for background checks must be on a separate document. "The provision," says Friery, "must be on a document that's separate from a job application or any other document. So it must stand out, in other words."
2. Pre-adverse action letter. If the applicant is turned down for any reason, they must be given an explanation for the employer's decision. "This is before any action is taken not to hire them," says Friery, "or to fire them, because this also applies to current employers. And along with that comes a statement of rights and a copy of the report."
3. Consent. The FCRA applies only to third-party credit reporting agencies. "In-house checks," says Friery, "are not covered by the FCRA. California does, however, have a requirement that an employer who obtains public record information by way of a 'self' check give the subject an opportunity to receive copies of the public records." This varies from state to state.
4. The FCRA does not address the consequences of refusing consent. "That's because the FCRA imposes specific obligations on employer-users of consumer reports," says Friery, "but there's no room to read more into it than what's required by the words of the law. The FCRA is really more a law about certain types of consumer reports, the companies that prepare such reports and the companies that use them. Employer decision making and discretion are matters generally left to state employment laws — or Equal Employment Opportunity questions."
Discrimination and obligation
Clearly the laws and regulations governing background checks are a delicate, and sometimes awkward, dance between the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Equal Employment Opportunity laws and nondiscriminatory hiring practices.
"There are some disturbing things about it," says Friery. "For one thing, this really overlaps with employment law and employer's discretion, which is really pretty much unlimited unless the employer runs afoul of discrimination laws. They really are in the position to be able to make job determinations. If they want to adopt a no-tolerance rule for criminal conviction no matter how far back it goes, there's nothing that really says they have to adopt more lenient practices."
And there's something unsettling about the notion that once you agree to allow these checks as a requirement for employment, your employer can follow up on them whenever it wants to. If you're a good employee, why should your employer have the right to check your credit history or driving record from time to time? How is that necessarily relevant to your work performance?
In addition, if a consumer reporting agency makes a mistake and you are not hired as a result, or you are fired as a result, there is not much you can do about it. "Once there is a mistake made," says Friery, "the employer does not have to reinstate a job offer or even take that person back if it resulted in a firing. So the subject really has very little recourse except to try to deal with the consumer reporting agency, the background screener that reported faulty information." You, as a consumer, however, do have a right to have the information corrected.
The laws need some fine-tuning to protect consumers' rights and privacy protections, but there many examples of why background checks are important. And in any case, knowing what's actually in your own credit report can be the first step in understanding what is at stake during a background check.
As Bankrate has reported, Americans can get a free copy of their credit report once a year from each of the three consumer reporting companies — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. The companies phased in the program region by region, with the northeastern states finally getting their turn on Sept. 1.

The Central Duplex Great Terrace was perfect for us. My wife and I stayed there for 3 nights (we should have booked a longer stay!) and we found that the duplex was very well equipped, furnished and decorated. The terrace (in a walled inner courtyard) is very private, good for relaxation and is a really positive feature of the duplex. The duplex is well located being very near the beach/promenade but also within easily walking distance of La Ribera and Barri Gothic. We also found it easy using public transport (nearby public bus stops, metro, and tourist bus stop). The duplex is located in a quiet street - at night-time completely silent which made for good sleeping! Also there are lots of restaurants nearby. In summary it is very ideal.
Absolutely perfect apartment, in all ways....comfortable, great location, well-stocked with any/all needed amenities. Easy instructions were left for everything. Easy to walk to anywhere, with shops and restaurants nearby. Would HIGHLY recommend.
Tom and Jays Apartment was awesome! Great location if you love the beach as I do, quiet area and the super clean and comfy place! Makes you feel home in the first minutes!
Gonna be back for sure!!!
Tom and Jay are real good hosts. They always reacted immediately on the questions we had about the apartement and leaving our luggage. A few days before arrival we received an e-mail about how to reach te apartment. Upon arrival we were received very friendly. They even had a leaflet for us about where we coud store our luggage on our departure. The appartment was clean and convenient. Very close to the beach and to the city centre. We realy enjoyed our stay in Barcelona and would defenitely recommend this apartment to everyone!
Fantastic place - we have stayed in quite a few AirBnB places by now, and can recommend absolutely recommend Tom & Jay's place, especially for the price offered (around 60 Euro in February). It was very clean (often an issue), lots of small touches (e.g. new sponges in the kitchen), and had absolutely everything needed. And a massive movie collection. Tom & Jay used or occasionally still do live here themselves, and it shows.
Thanks Jay for your great hospitality and for trusting us with your unique home. Perfect location for our first yet brief visit to this amazing city. We plan to come for longer next time.
Gill and Kirk
Tom & Jay are great hosts. Clean apartment. Everything was really clean and well taken care off. Beach and city centre easy to reach by foot. I would recommend everybody this apartment when visiting Barca. Thanks
The apartment is really cool. It's absolutely clean. There were no problems with heating or hot water. Free underground parking - very convinient for such a city as Barcelona. Tom and Jay speak English fluently, we had no problems with communications. The location is great, 5 minutes walk and you're on Via Laietana. Lot's of small stores, bars and restaurants around. It's really a very very nice place. Even in winter :)
The apartment is very nice and well equipped. The kitchen, the bathrooms and the livingroom had evrything one could want. The position is super close to the beach. The city centre is 15 minutes walk time. I would reccomend this house more in summer then in winter, but still it was a very nice place to stay in. The hosts were superhelpful. We had internet issues and they immediately called the techincal service and managed ti solve the problem.
The sofa bed was ok, but not very comfy. I would suggest going only in 2 people or maybe a family with children.
Thanks for your comments Lorenzo, we always appreciate guests feedback. Unfortunately no sofa bed will ever be as comfortable as a good mattress which we have in the bedroom, there's no doubt about it. We just never heard from our guests, as you can see from other comments, any complains. Having said that there's always room for improvement and we are about to order new large sofa and a separate lounge which should make it much more comfortable for groups of 4, like yours.
As for the location, in the apartment is 3 minutes walk away (a "jump away" as you can read from a comment below) from the beach, so yes - it's much nicer during the spring/summer months than in the winter, however even during the cold months there's plenty to do around and it's just a short walk away from El Born or Gotico. Many thanks, Tom and Jay
Tom and Jays place was perfectly located for a getaway in Barcelona! Just a jump to the beach and the restaurants there and only a 15min walk to the city centre. I would recommend staying here if you get the chance!
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.
