Score from 2721 reviews Good
Locating this place was a breeze and getting good to and from the airport was manageable with rolling luggage. From here, it's easy to get to lands end or the wharf. The staff was fantastic, the doorman was so helpful as was the front desk! Much aloha from them!
Homelessness is definitely an issue throughout the city and with this centralized location, I saw first hand how severe it could be. The hotel itself does very well at making sure their guests are not uncomfortable with that.
Every thing was nice. Location and hotel style was perfect.
Hotel has not brekfast. Lobby was cold and phone in rooms are not new and damaged.
Ornate lobby with old world feel.
Small bathroom and room size.
The Executive suite has a wonderful jetted tub large enough for two. Nice room layout, made for a fun stay.
Location, hot coffee, a very comfortable bed, convenient parking.
There was nothing I didn't like.
geographique situation
restaurant to expensive for the quality of food nTHey do not advise you of there way of calculating the room rate who variate everyday depend on the occupancy of hotel. for those reason iwill not recommand that hotel n will never go back.
San Francisco has so many extra fees and taxes that what looks like a good deal still ends up being pricey.
25 USD mandatory Resortfee - make it optional (WIFI, newspaper) or raise your roomprice by 25 USD - that would be fair.
The location is probably what you're looking for.
This is one of the "once good, but now falling behind" types of hotels. First of all, they are really expensive (adding all kind of extra charges in the end) and they don't really put that much effort in making sure their guests are having a good time. Checkin was quite slow - checkout as well. Using the computer in the business lounge? That costs extra. Breakfast? No, but they serve coffee in the morning. It was clean and all, but you can probably do better.
The service!
The location
The location was perfect and the attached restaurant was a hit. The value was good and view of the city (11th floor) was exactly what we were looking for. I knew the hotel was a little older with character. The private bath with tall shower was a huge hit with my husband. Will definitely stay at he Serrano again.
The first night another guest walked into our room with a key. Thankfully my husband and I were still dressed. The staff was good at recovering and giving credit towards our room and resetting/replacing the keys immediately.
Staff was great, self parking could not have been easier as there is a garage right next door.
too noisy lousy parking situation
Hotel was clean, staff was friendly, bed was comfy, location was good. Also, the hotel is on the older side, but still very clean and had thick walls.
The "urban fee" is bogus. It looks like an upgrade (includes wifi password, papers in the lobby, and coffee in the lobby) but really you can't get out of paying it. Just add 22$ a night to your final cost.
Great hotel, near lift but we were told this at reception and offered a lower room.
Near a soup kitchen if you turned the wrong way out of the hotel.
I liked the location of the hotel, it's at the heart of the city close to restaurants and entertainment. The staff was excellent. I had forgotten my travel bag in the hotel room, after trying to locate it,The housekeeping coordinator, I believe her name was Dalila, was so kind and understanding and was able to ship my travel bag to me. Thank you for your efficient service.
I didn't like the fact that the hotel didn't have a parking garage like most hotels do. and it costs and arm and a leg to park your car in a parking garage. Also the drinks and packs of peanuts and snacks in the room...do they have to be so darn expensive????
Location was great & the rooms were clean
The receptionist Niccole.. She was the rudest & most unhelpful receptionist I have ever dealt with & I unfortunately had two encounters with her! The first was the morning after I stayed & I approached her at the desk to see if my room rate included breakfast, she rudely snapped to say she was in the middle of looking after a customer & did I not have that information on my booking! She was not on the phone nor was there any customer standing in front of her or around her at that time. The second time was when I was checking out, I asked her if I could get a receipt that included the currency I was being charged in (the printed invoice did not show this 7 I needed this to claim expenses) & she again snapped & said "your in America of course the currency is going to be in Dollars, as you may well know this is not the case as ever bill I paid in a shop with my Irish card they gave me the option of paying in Euro or USD….. I have travelled allot & have never came across anybody as rude, ignorant or unhelpful in the hospitality industry in my life! Really bad attitude & is the single most reason i wouldn't recomend the Hudson to my friends. Regards, Elaine
There was no closet or clothes hangers in my room. Why do you hang your suit/shirt?
John the Doorman was great
Food at Jaspers could have been much better
I liked that our room had a theme to it, which was the play, Wicked. I also really like the location that was walking distance to Union Square
Didn't like the first room we were assigned. It smelled of urine and the carpet was wet with urine. Spoke to the staff and they promptly moved us to another room
Betty at the front desk was amazingly helpful and efficient, definitely loves her job. The hotel room was big enough, quite comfortable.
A hotel of this size should have a proper sign, not some sleazy red neon light resembling that of a mediocre liquor shop. You can skip the entrance easily, gotta take the Hilton as your reference point. Also, the front door opened to outside, not to inside, strangely. And I found it a bit too informal for Trey to continuously chew a gum, though was good at what he did.
Location, staff, european feel, great organic coffee in am, no charge.
The maid kept coming to the room as I was trying to get ready to go.
Location and staff were excellent.Hotel has a very San Francisco feel. Good access to Muni stations. Some rooms have nice city views. On site restaurant was busy every night: seemed fun but we didnt get a chance to try it.
Check out the parking situation before you go. Also when traveling by foot from the hotel you could end up in some sketchy areas. Just head down to union square and youll be fine.
Very close to Union Square. They let us drop off our bags and check in later and then when we checked out they allowed us to leave our bags and get them later. Easy check in and check out. The concierge/ gentleman who handled out bags was very nice.
The bathroom was extremely tiny.
Staff was insensitive to issues we had the the room. The paint was chipped and the wall paper was ripped in the room. The phone only worked on speaker. We called 2 times to fix the tv because the movie option was not working and 3 hours later it was fixed.

Arizona Cardinals
Marshawn Lynch presents another big challenge for Arizona Cardinals defense
TEMPE, Ariz. - They call him "Beast Mode" for a reason.
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is in his seventh NFL season, and he's topped the 1,000-yard mark in five of them. Originally drafted 12th overall in 2007 by the Buffalo Bills, he's really made a name for himself (pun intended) since being traded to Seattle midway through the 2010 season.
In 2011, Lynch rushed for 1,204 yards and 12 touchdowns. In 2012, he tallied 1,590 yards and 11 scores. This season, he has 1,089 yards and 11 touchdowns, with two games left to play. He's also gained 307 yards on 33 receptions, while scoring another two touchdowns via the air.
If quarterback Russell Wilson is the catalyst of the Seahawks attack, Lynch is certainly the centerpiece.
"He's strong, he's fast and he's tough," Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles said. "And along with that, they have a very good offensive line so it's not just the running back himself. When he gets going downhill, he's a load."
Just a couple years ago, the entire country took notice of that.
Lynch has very much earned his reputation for breaking tackles and being tough to bring down, and while he has not topped the century mark in four games, he is still someone the Cardinals and their top-ranked run defense are focused on heading into this very important game.
After all, he did run for 91 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries in the season's first meeting, which the Seahawks won 34-22. And the last time the teams played in Seattle, he rushed for 128 yards and three touchdowns on just 11 carries.
"The guy's a horse," linebacker Daryl Washington said. "We have to rally all 11 guys to the ball, stop the running game first and foremost."
"He runs hard," defensive tackle Dan Williams said. "He's been running hard since he got in the league, and there's a reason why he's a fan favorite and he's a good player. It will definitely be a challenge trying to stop him."
It's a challenge the Cardinals have been up for more often than not this season, at least with other running backs. Only one, San Francisco's Frank Gore, has reached the 100-yard mark against Arizona, and only four times has a team's leading rusher tallied more than 60 yards in a game against the Cardinals.
Regardless, you can expect the Seahawks to keep running the ball; no matter how much success they may or may not be having early in the game.
"As long as you're getting a couple yards each time, and then you kind of feel like you're doing well early with twos and threes and those turns to fours and sixes and those turn into eights and tens as the game goes on," Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. "So there's a little bit with sticking with it."
Sunday's game will represent an intriguing matchup in that it pits Arizona's top-ranked run defense against the NFL's second-best running offense. The Cardinals give up an average of 83.2 yards rushing yards per game, while the Seahawks, led by Lynch, post an average of 141 per contest. As the clich� goes, something's got to give. If the Cardinals can bottle Lynch up, they'll have a chance. But if the beast gets let loose, well, it could be a long afternoon for the visitors.
"The one thing about our division is if you don't have a good line of scrimmage on either side of the ball," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said, "it's going to get exposed real quick."

Weight loss goal for 6/2-6-9.
Finally starting to drop some weight here. 243.1 this morning. Would like to see 239.anything.
Hi Michelle!! My goal for this week is to eat no sugar or flour and to lose 4 pounds... This is my day one yet again... Good thing I never truly give up ;). Good luck this week :)
Good luck to you as well Kim! You can do it. I think we've all been "back to day one a few times". I think as long as you keep coming back that's all that matters.
Hiya! I hit my goal last week and then some so I'm hoping for another good week! Last I checked I was down to 154lbs
My new goal for this week is 150lbs! I'd love lower but I'm trying to be realistic! lol *fingers crossed*
I am still looking for 210. Maybe this will be the week :)
Me too, Michelle - Looking for 239.anything!
Was 240.0 this morning. Official weigh date is tomorrow!
I am 161.8 today and will set my goal at losing 2.8 lbs putting me at 159.
Um, guys I'm freaking out! lol Last night I weighed in at the gym and I am 151lbs! So far it seems I'm dropping about 1 to 2lbs everyday to every other day! I am excited, but it's never come off this fast before!
So according to my tracker app, I've lost 12lbs since May 22nd!
Official weigh in this morning. 239.2 lbs. - new goal for the week - 237. anything!!!
6/2 weigh in was 261.6. I'd love to be at 257.6 on 6/9. :) That will be 4 pounds in a week.
Good Morning & Happy Monday!
213.8 this a.m. I'd really like to get under 210 by next Monday.
I've been at 149.2 for the last few days. I'd be so thrilled if I could get down to 148.4 by next Monday. It's not a whole pound, but I lose sooo slow.
161.1 this morning. Goal for 6/10 is 158 or lower (3 pounds). Have a great week everyone!
I will post in the Challenge Section, so I wanted you all to be aware you will have to look for them there from next week on. I will post a link in my signature so it will be easier for yall to find
My goal this week is to up my fat intake, stay away from the processed meats, seriously limit the dairy, and get my substantial butt to the gym at least 4 times. If I do all those things, I'm hoping a 2 lb loss isn't unreasonable.
Still looking to drop the last pound standing between me and my final goal.
I recall with great fondness the early days of low carbing when the weight just
rolled off. Of course the challenge back then was to not eat bread, pasta, donuts,
cake, and anything with sugar in it, but I was pretty faithful to staying on plan and
so the pounds flew off.
Can't say the same about these last few pounds, but I'm ok with that.
It keeps me vigilant.
Well, I'm down to 261 which is good! That makes 15 pounds since I started. My goal was to do it yesterday or today, so I made it ;) Yeah!!
You guys are doing great!
TOM is quickly approaching and I think this week is going to be a wash on the scale.
I have been eating major LCHF like 80/15/5. Weight down another pound. 238.2 this morning.
Made it!
dropped that last pound today.
Mission accomplished.
Now, on to maintenance
That's fantastic Avid!
Omg!! I made my goal! 148.4 down from 149.2... Almost a pound. Jeesh!! I worked really hard for that! So, Shark Week's going to begin in the next few days, so I'm afraid to set a goal for June 10-16. But I might make a goal anyway, just to challenge myself.
I haven't even weighed, I'm going to start over this week. Congrats on the losers!
It's a great feeling when we set out to accomplish a goal,
and then do it!!

Guelph Curling Club's Rob Rumfeldt's Grand Slam opportunities may give him an edge over more than half of the field at the coming Ontario Tankard.
It's definitely been good practice.
"You get to play against the greatest teams in the world and you get to play on great ice conditions," Rumfeldt said.
He and his team of Adam Spencer, Jeff Robinson, Greg Robinson, and fifth Scott Hodgson are one of 11 teams competing for the Ontario men's curling title in Barrie from Feb. 4-10. It's an event Glenn Howard has now won seven straight year.
The Rumfeldt rink has been solid over the past two years earning opportunities to play in a Slam event last year and the first three this year. It's been a learning curve with the team's record at 2-13 playing against the world's best. The two wins were over Howard and Jean-Michel Menard.
"In preparation for the Ontario curling championship next week, you know, that's not a bad training ground."
Another facet of the Slams that may come into play is the decision for the Ontario Curling Association to change its timing rules to follow the "thinking time" style of the World Curling Tour. Timing doesn't usually come into force during the Ontario playdowns until reaching the Tankard. Howard, John Epping, and Harriston's Jake Higgs will have some experience but several teams in the provincial field have not played under the rule before.
"One thing we have learned as a team is you have to bank as much time as possible in the first four or five ends," Rumfeldt said. "We have got progressively better with each Slam and when we get down to that last end we are not rushed for time at all."
Besides trying to win an Ontario title and trip to the Brier, Rumfeldt is also continuing to try and build on Canadian Team Ranking System points in order to qualify for the Olympic pre-trials event coming to Waterloo Region in November. A playoff win would go a long way in helping that effort.
Rumfeldt's team is "on the bubble" of qualifying right now.
"If you can to a Grand Slam event and pick up two or three wins you can pick up six or nine points so that was certainly another motivating factor for us for going into the Slams."
The Tankard in Barrie will be covered through out the week on Rogers community television with the semifinal and final on Sportsnet stations. Those with the Rogers digital can watch all the games live on channel 471 (Sportspak).
In addition to Rumfeld, Howard, Epping and Higgs, combatants include Joe Frans, Wayne Tuck, Darryl Prebble, Dayna Deruelle, Pat Ferris, Bryan Cochrane and Howard Rajala.
Guelph Curling Club's Andrew and Craig Fairfull play with the Ferris rink.
Hearts wrap
The Ontario Tournament of Hearts hosted by the K-W Granite Club in Waterloo proved even more successful than organizers expected.
"Personally, I was amazed at how popular the event was," said Doug Suerich, the club's president. "Early in the week we had to ban volunteers from the VIP lounge to make more room for the general public,"
Rachel Homan's dominant performance will likely carry on to a playoff spot at the national Hearts in Kingston. There are several Hearts rookies in the field along with veterans Jennifer Jones (Manitoba), Kelly Scott (B.C.) Colleen Jones makes a return to the Hearts with her longtime second Mary-Anne Arsenault skipping the team. Jones is holding the broom for Arsenault and throwing second stones. Suzanne Birt returns for Prince Edward Island and Allison Ross won in Quebec. Kristie Moore won her first Alberta title as a skip (she competed as a second in 2000) and newcomer Jill Shumay came out on top in Saskatchewan. Kerry Galusha (Y/NWT) and Stacie Devereaux (NFLD) qualified the previous weekend. Heather Nedohin is back as Team Canada leaving New Brunswick the only unknown. Its provincial starts this week.
• Guelph Golf and Curling Club (GGCC, formerly known as Guelph Country) is hosting the Zone 12 mixed this weekend with participants including Chen Hui (Elmira), Mark Landoni (Fergus), Steve Szymanski (Galt), Andrew Nerpin (Guelph), Peter Mellor (K-W), Tracy Suerich (K-W), Jennifer Moore (GGCC).
• Senior mixed zones is in the same venue with Carl Fleck (Ayr), Dean Martin (Elmira), Gary Houghton (GGCC), Greg Moore (Westmount) and Frank Gowman (Galt) competing.
• In women's intermediates, three-time champion Carol Jackson (Guelph) has once again advanced to provincials after winning the B-side at regionals in Gravenhurst. Jackson last won the Ontario title in 2010.
• The Canadian junior curling champions begin Friday. Wilfrid Laurier's Aaron Squires skips the Ontario men's rink. Jamie Sinclair heads to the Ontario women's team. Her front end of Erin Jenkins and Katelyn Wasylkiw are both University of Guelph students and Guelph Curling Club members.

Well, here we are again. Another year almost done with another Thanksgiving beginning the season. At this time we are supposed to think about what we are thankful for, but I often wonder how this gets translated in today's fast-paced, commercially oriented, internet based world.
Oh sure, we can be thankful for all of those things that we have.
Things like…
- A Starbucks grande, non-fat, extra hot latte. Ask my family about this addiction
- The fact that the Chicago Bulls & Blackhawks are at the beginning of their seasons so they are still not yet losers (like the Bears). I will not include the Sox and Cubs as they are winners since we are still in the off season
- I will get to attend another Turkey Bowl, the 46th, which will allow me to see my friends again this year albeit most of us will not play or just barely get through the opening kick-off which now comes right after breakfast
- My wife's pumpkin pie which is usually snarfed up before I can get any; the benefits of having 3 male adult children who are now much quicker than I
- The great sales that go on during Thanksgiving day, not only on Black Friday; making Thanksgiving the new "Greengiving" day
- Great televised football games although this year my beloved 4 and 5 Bears will be playing and will probably be thankful to get off the field
But for me what I am most thankful for are not things but those intangibles that are really important and lasting like:
- Friends and family who are always there to support me
- The health of my family, friends, colleagues and associates
- Children who have grown up understanding that success is not just in what you do to make a living but in giving back and helping others in need
- Working with the greatest team of folks who are passionate about helping people and providing workplaces and individuals in need of help with the highest quality services possible
- The luck I had to have chosen a profession that is dedicated to helping people
I could go on, but I think you get the message. We here at Perspectives want to wish you all a peaceful and Happy Thanksgiving and hope that you will not only enjoy the food, family and partying of the season but also take a moment to reflect on your blessings. We also hope that you will take a moment to think about those who are in need and offer them a helping hand in whatever manner you feel comfortable.

Every year International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is held. This day is for anyone who is affected by suicide loss and is to provide comfort in meeting at local events in communities for healing and support.
This day was originated when Senator Harry Reid, a survivor of his father's suicide, announced in 1999 a new resolution into the US Senate. With its passage, the US Congress selected the Saturday before Thanksgiving to have "National Survivors of Suicide Day."
What can these events do for you? If you or a loved one is affected by a suicide loss, you can attend a local event to hear stories told from people at all stages of healing. These events also allow new participants a chance to share their own stories, which can be very helpful in the healing process.
If you would like to find a Survivor Day event in your area, please visit: http://www.survivorday.org/find-an-event/ or for those who cannot attend any events, you can visit http://www.survivorday.org/survivor-day-live/ to join live events online.

"A mirror provides an objective reflection, but an eye is selective and subjective" -Text on placard by Magritte's "The False Mirror" painting
The Magritte exhibit at the Chicago Art Institute was mind-bending. Painted items with the "wrong" names underneath, men chasing a flying item with a cricket bat on a tiled floor while enlarged children's toys floated around, and a man with a nose that flowed into what we would assume was his pipe were among the images. I knew I had always liked Salvador Dali, but after this experience, the surrealist movement as a whole provokes my curiosity. This is not as surprising as after some light research I learned that the movement was based on some ideas of Sigmund Freud. Art and psychology combine in an effort to encourage freethinking in the masses.
Through provocative images and ideas to challenge the mind, surrealist artists created a way to push people past the boundaries of what is expected and normal. Their movement, in direct rebuttal to using logic and reason that they felt led us to World War I, possessed the goals of encouraging people to open their minds, realize that things are not always as they appear to be, and overall, to revolutionize human experience. We can apply this approach to our own lives and encourage flexibility with our thoughts and our interpretation of activities in our environment.
What would it be like if we no longer believed the negative self-talk that can occur when we are struggling within our relationships, our work, or ourselves? What if a break up with the person of your dreams does not mean there is something wrong with your personality? What if that bad relationship pattern you can't seem to get out of doesn't mean you are a loser? What if your struggle with addiction does not mean you are a weak person? What if that negative review at work is not necessarily a reflection of your talent? What if your lack of desire for commitment does not mean you are a flawed human being? What if another's negative opinion of you holds absolutely no validity? What if experiencing anxiety while taking in the beautiful sites on your European vacation doesn't mean you're crazy or abnormal?
Of course there is a difference between denial and automatic negative assumptions. It is important to look at ourselves, practice self-reflection, and to be honest. These practices help us to be in touch with who we are and what we want for our lives. When we know what we want, we can take steps to achieve it.
When we lift judgment and preconceived ideas, we give ourselves a chance to explore and freedom to be who we are without negative ramifications. By taking our thinking to this level we create the opportunity to experience our true nature, without judgment and logic leading the way.
Theoretically, changing the way we view things can sound like an easy task. For most of us, it actually takes a lot of practice.

The holidays are approaching. The time when we are supposed to be celebrating togetherness and joy, however, this time of year can be very hard on our physical and emotional health. Whether its candy & snacks at work, a lot of travel time or not getting enough sleep– we all struggle to stay healthy during this time. Besides getting the obvious flu vaccine, check out some of our tips on how you can help your body weather the season.
Eat healthy & be active. Try to only eat when hungry & stay active! Whether it's a walk with your dog or a morning jog to get up and move your legs – this will help balance you mentally and physically.
Wash your hands often. Getting sick around the holidays is not fun. Make sure to carry anti-bacterial or wash your hands often. When shopping, try not to touch any escalator handrails. "In our testing, we have found food, E. coli, urine, mucus, feces, and blood on escalator handrails," says Charles Gerba, Ph.D., a professor of environmental microbiology at the University of Arizona "And where there is mucus, you may also find cold and flu viruses." Philip Tierno, Ph.D., director of clinical microbiology and immunology at New York University Langone Medical Center concurs: "We've found respiratory flora on handrails," he says, "which makes sense because people cough into their hands, then touch the rails." Especially with everything going on right now with Ebola – make sure to wash your hands frequently!
Get rest. Sleep is one of the most important factors when staying healthy—and what better way to catch up on sleep than on your days off? "If you run yourself ragged and don't get a good night's sleep, you risk getting ill just because you've worn down your body's defenses," Dr. Leavey says.
Stay hydrated. Drink lots of water and take a multi-vitamin or Vitamin C to keep your defenses high. Staying well-hydrated helps keeps bacteria & viruses out of our systems. Also, decaf green tea can be soothing and has immune-boosting antioxidants.
Snack smart. We all snack, but maybe try to avoid snacking on sweets as much as you can. I know it's especially hard around the holidays, but try to limit yourself. Instead of snacking on sweets, check out some super foods that are nutritious and will enhance your mood!
To find more tips on Holiday health, visit: http://www.cdc.gov/family/holiday/ , email Sara DePasquale or visit our Working World Café blog.

I'm sure you're read recent articles discussing the changing make-up of the workforce and how work gets done. You've undoubtedly seen plenty of news programs discussing how organizations should respond to the fact that 30+% of the workforce will be retiring in the next few years, or what to expect when Generation Z joins the working ranks in the next decade, or how employees are facing undue stress as the result of increased performance expectations/demands. In case that wasn't enough uncertainty, following the recent recession, businesses have learned that they must adapt how they operate and how they are structured if they want to exist tomorrow. Not only are we all exposed to these changes in print and on TV, the majority of us deal with these exact challenges at least 5 days out of the week.
The theme here is change. Change is never easy and when faced with change, we can either roll with it or dig in and fight. Given that those who decide to fight organizational change rather than adapt won't be around next year, Perspectives is focused on determining how we can help others effectively manage the chaos associated with change.
At Perspectives Ltd we are passionate about supporting organizations in every way possible to enable fully engaged workforces. To best do this, towards the end of 2013 we surveyed our network to see what organizational changes they were experiencing, or expecting, so that we could ensure we had the right support resources available for their needs. Below are the findings related to the question "what changes will your organization have experienced in 2013-2014?"
- Growth = 100%
- Change Within Senior Leadership = 60%
- Lay-Offs = 56%
- Restructuring = 44%
- Merger or Acquisition = 22%
Given the above responses from last year and the new reality that organizations must do more with less (ie-lean), it's no surprise that the majority of our organizational consulting engagements this year (2014) have been around:
- Helping organizations shift from yesterday's culture to one that meets the new demands of today and tomorrow.
- Assisting organizations in managing their image and sustaining the engagement levels of retained employees by providing outplacement workshops and individual career transition services for those being let go.
- Providing management/leadership with formalized training through one-on-one coaching and custom designed management development programs.
- Educating leadership on attracting, developing, retaining and engaging their multi-generational workforce.
What changes is your organization facing? What have you found to be helpful in managing the chaos associated therewith? What is leadership still scratching their heads about? What do you see coming down the pipeline for 2015?
In case you are looking for some guidance about how to adapt to the changing demands of the evolving workforce, you should check out the first webinar in our 3-part series on the topic that will be held on October 28th. You can register at http://join.onstreammedia.com/register/perspectivesltd/TheChangingWorkforce, or to get more information regarding the webinar or post, please email Jonathan Eisler.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In recent years, the numerous campaigns to raise awareness about Breast Cancer have sent forth a sea of pink – it seems like everything is available in pink, from clothes to appliances, jewelry to cars.
So, is it working? Do you know the facts about Breast Cancer? If you are a woman, do you know your risk factors? Have you been screened? Do you have an early detection plan? If you're a man, have you encouraged the women in your life to get screened and have an early detection plan?
Breast Cancer Facts:
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer in her lifetime.
It is the second leading cause of death for women, and it is the most common diagnosed cancer for women.
Breast Cancer will kill more than 40,000 women in the US and more than 500,000 worldwide this year.
And, despite the plethora of pink, it's not just women: 410 men die each year from Breast Cancer too.
Some of the risk factors for Breast Cancer are both obvious and avoidable: a poor diet, smoking, drinking alcohol, being sedentary and hormone replacement therapy. More good reasons to eat your fruits and veggies and get in some exercise. Then there are some risk factors we can't do anything about: our genetics, age, race, and family history among them.
However, one of the scary facts about Breast Cancer is that 60-70% of victims have no connection to any of these risk factors at all! In other words, avoiding risk is important, but it's not enough. Early detection can be key to saving your life.
There is good news: mortality rates from Breast Cancer have been steadily decreasing, partly due to better screening and earlier detection, and also because of more advanced treatment options. More good news: when Breast Cancer is diagnosed early, the 5 year survival rate can be as high as 98%.
Breast Cancer Awareness
Reduce Your Risk: Don't smoke, limit alcohol, stay active, eat fruits and veggies, and maintain a healthy weight.
Learn: Go to www.nationalBreastCancer.org and learn the facts.
Ask questions: www.beyondtheshock.com
Plan: Go to www.earlydetectionplan.org and make a plan. Encourage all the women in your life to do the same.

You might think that it would be hard to find opportunities in this environment. Though not as highly rated, there were also factors positively impacting Client Retention and New Sales, as follows:
39% – EAP Product Improvements
38% – New Strategic Partnerships
35% – New Product Offerings
35% – Enhanced Broker Engagement
30% – Enhanced Technological Delivery Capability
External EAPs are improving their current service delivery through efforts like SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment) which improves clinical intervention with substance abuse cases through motivational interviewing, thus increasing the identification of cases with high impact on the workplace. Others are creating new products such as those targeting workforce segments which have not traditionally utilized EAP services like physicians. External EAPs are also integrating their services into their client organizations' wellness efforts, through both internally developed products and strategic placement of the EAP within a separate wellness vendor's product.
This wellness integration ranges from EAP seminar attendance counting toward employee wellness requirements to the EAP being used as a front end assessor of high-risk medical cases to determine if any EAP or WorkLife services might help these individuals with comorbid mental health or life cycle issues in order to better prepare them for taking advantage of wellness coaching services. Enhanced broker engagement has included offering coaching assistance from the EAP to employees attempting to negotiate health care exchanges, allying the EAP more closely with the focus of the broker community. And technological advances include ecounseling and other employee engagement platforms, including video counseling as discussed by Tom Farris, PhD, of Claremont Partners and Stan Granberry, PhD, of the National Behavioral Consortium in the 4th quarter 2013 issue of The Journal of Employee Assistance.
Not all doom and gloom, but rather signs of healthy entrepreneurship. Despite the pricing, broker education, outcomes measurement and IT challenges indicated by NBC survey respondents, the following response to the question about whether respondents were pessimistic or optimistic about the future of the EAP field indicates that there are still opportunities for external EAP vendors willing to evolve.
83% of respondents indicated they are Optimistic or Very Optimistic about the future of the EAP field.
Why? Survey respondents gave the following reasons in the open field provided:
- Expanding role in psychosocial aspect of behavior change
- Focus on behavioral risk management
- Filling the Wellness Gap
- Technology facilitates EAP reach
To close, I'd like to tie these reasons for optimism to two opportunities for the EAP field that Kathy Mahieu, AON/Hewitt's Behavioral Health Chief, has challenged us with. The first is the Wellness Gap. Per AON/Hewitt's 2011 Employer Survey, the #1 employer desired benefit-related outcome is to increase the "utilization of wellness and prevention" in order to drive down healthcare costs. And the #1 challenge to achieving this goal is "motivating (wellness) participants to promote behavior change" (AON Hewitt 2012 Health Care Survey). This is the Wellness Gap. And it is creating a focus on behavioral risk management and the psychosocial aspects of behavior change. And behavior change is the expertise of EAP. There are many approaches to leveraging EAP behavioral expertise, but the point is EAPs could potentially fill this wellness gap and by virtue of working with customer organizations at one of their main points of pain, extend EAP reach with executives in client organizations, one of the current difficulties identified for external EAP vendors in this survey.
Kathy Mahieu's second challenge, per her presentation at NBC's Fall 2012 Conference, is for EAPs to become proactive case finders, to go beyond waiting for cases to come to us in response to program promotion efforts, and actually reach out to potential end users, employees and family members and supervisors, to identify people that need our services. Key to this proactive case finding is technology. Technology that enables access to the EAP. Technology that reaches employee populations with screening tools. Technology that provides self-service platforms to support behavioral change. All of these can support the core competencies that have been, and will continue to be, the foundation on which the External EAP industry continues to build.
Whether by addressing the Wellness Gap, becoming proactive case finders or through other innovations, the EAP field can and is building on its legacy of assistance to organizations and individuals. In the meantime, the NBC Industry Profile of EAP Vendors study provides a set of metrics to which purchasers, brokers and vendors can compare their current EAP data. The study also provides differentiation amongst EAP vendors within the current EAP marketplace, particularly based on variations in dominant pricing model, for purchasers interested in generating EAP utilization and/or integrating the EAP into the workplace.

Last Thursday, 10/9/2014 was National Depression Screening Day. It came and it went. So, what now? One benefit of a national day like this is that it gains awareness of depression. The problem however, is that it then recedes back into the shadows.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, this defeats the purpose. We need to keep the discussion going. This is not a problem for only one day of the year, but one that is of epidemic proportions. Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the second leading cause of disability worldwide. Furthermore, suicide (which is one of the risks of untreated depression) is the 11th leading cause of death in the U.S., accounting for 30,000 deaths each year.
Tips on treating depression
- Encourage your employees to seek and get help.
- Talk about mental wellness and health with your employees, family and friends.
- If you see someone struggling with sadness, depression or anxiety, go up to them and ask how they are doing. Let them know you care.
- Go to the Screening for Mental Health website for more ideas.
Remember that we all can help each other and should. So I encourage you to keep this conversation going. Feel free to comment on this post. The more we can dialogue about this, the more we can help the people who are suffering.

Were you someone who used to love your job but now find yourself struggling to stay engaged? Have you shifted from being a workplace cheerleader to a "Debbie downer?" Are you physically exhausted and weary of the day to day responsibilities of your position? You may be experiencing a chronic form of stress called job burnout. Causes of professional burnout can vary but often have to do with lack of control, unclear job expectations, poor workplace communication, difficult managers and/or a mismatch of values between the beliefs of employees and the actions of work organizations. Over time, these occupational factors can take a toll and result in serious chronic stress reactions affecting people's productivity.
If you recognize yourself in those brief questions it may be time to examine your own situation. Those of us who have always been "worker bees" and dedicated employees are at greater risk and may find it harder to admit to job burnout. The best we can do for ourselves is to be mindful that we could be vulnerable and incorporate prevention strategies.
Prevention strategies that might help
- Recognize when your passion has turned to poison – Christina Maslach, Ph.D. She states that you might be burned out if the work you were passionate about now feels like a burden.
- Honestly evaluate your situation and your options. In this way you increase your empowerment quotient.
- Take time for yourself daily. This can range from a 2 minute breathing exercise 3 times per day to a 5 minute walk to going to bed 30 minutes early.
- Manage the stressors that are contributing to the work situation. Identify what is fueling the burnout. If you have an EAP, you can use short term counseling to develop strategies to address the issues.
- Utilize your support system. Often we are afraid to admit our feelings and this adds to isolation.
- Increase your social activities and/or your creative side. In this way you increase work life balance. The goal is to be mindful that work is only a part of your life and it does not define you as a human being.
Hard workers that, not only come to work every day but show up to work every day, understand that their contribution is part of a greater whole that can "make or break" the success of the organization. Don't let yourself be a victim of job burnout. Recognize the signs and take the steps you need to continue to be the best you can be.

Survey Results – Challenges & Opportunities
Written by: Terry Cahill Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Principal
There are clear challenges for the external EAP industry and the Business Management section of the NBC survey that looked at Most Difficult Internal Operations for external vendors underscores them. Depicted below are the three main difficulties identified by percentage of respondents indicating High or Very High Difficulty, difficulty defined as high monetary and time commitment.
51% – Educating Brokers on EAP Value
49% – Outcomes Measurement Strategy
47% – Maintaining IT
If it was like a Chicago election, where you vote as often as possible and even from the grave, it might have been me that drove Educating Brokers on the Value of EAP to the top of this list since I am primarily in a sales role. Suffice to say, there are many brokers who understand that there are different levels of EAP service delivery across varying types of vendors, but there are also brokers who reduce EAP to a spreadsheet that doesn't necessarily compare the pertinent variables or ask the right questions. Of course, that second on the list is the EAP industry's own struggle with proving value doesn't acquit the field itself on this count.
Maintaining pace with IT, both in support of internal operations and in meeting the growing expectation for use of technology in service delivery, is a challenge. As EAP end-users become more and more accustomed to simple internet and app access to services, they will expect this from EAP as well.
These challenges come at a time when new sales and client retention in EAP are threatened. According to the NBC Survey, the #1 factor impacting client retention and new sales is Product Pricing. Survey respondents rated this item High or Very High far more often than any other item.
74% – Product Pricing
39% – next item
And when surveyed about the factors impacting Client Erosion, the two items rated most often as High or Very High were:
45% – Switch to "Free EAP"
44% – Price Competition
To find out why EAP vendors remain optimistic despite these challenges, check out our last blog in the series that will be published next week. Catch up on previous blog posts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 now!

The eight-show system involves Dish's Hopper DVR and a new Super Joey add-on box for separate rooms.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge to include playable Ayane, online co-op
Tecmo Koei introduced Dead or Alive/Ninja Gaiden mainstay supporting character Ayana as playable in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge for the Wii U, in the only way it knows how: by first showing her getting a massage in the nude, and then ruthlessly slaughtering dozens and dozens of men, as seen in the trailer above.
Playing through the entire game as either ninja is possible thanks to a new Chapter Challenge mode. Ayane's exploits won't be entirely solo, however, as an online co-op mode starring both her and resident ninja Ryu Hayabusa has also been announced for the port, according to Siliconera.
Razor's Edge will also see the return of dismemberment capabilities, which is important considering that dismemberment physics are to Ninja Gaiden as those other physics are to Dead or Alive.

TUSCALOOSA, AL - APRIL 17: Wide receiver Kenny Bell #7 of the University of Alabama catches the ball prior to the start of the Alabama spring game at Bryant Denny Stadium on April 17, 2010 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. (Photo by Dave Martin/Getty Images)
Alabama wide receiver Kenny Bell was dressed in uniform and warming up before the BCS championship game against Notre Dame. Bell broke a bone in his lower left leg in the regular-season finale against Auburn on Nov. 24 and had surgery. Alabama hasn't indicated whether he'd be available for the game. Two days before, Bell was coy on his status. He was cleared to do some work when the Crimson Tide started bowl practice in mid-December. He's averaging a team-best 25 yards on 17 catches.

Look Up In the Sky…!
Yesterday's graduate class in electromagnetism had a bit of extra fun. We did a particular computation in some detail, and arrived at a pair of results. We thought about the main features of the equations we'd derived and I then asked the class if they could think of an example. An example with those equations essentially written all over it. It was the sky. Not just the blueness of the sky (for which the result supplies a partial answer) but the pattern of blueness on the sky, especially when looking through your polarised sunglasses. (You know how you tilt your head when wearing them and you can darken or lighten the sky a bit? Well, that effect is way more effective if you are looking in a direction at right angles to the sun as opposed to either toward or away from the sun.)
So I took the class outside to gaze upon the sky in person, rather than just sit and talk about it. Actually, a little bit of knowledge about the pattern of blue in the sky is useful in a lot of ways. For example it is amusing to me to see how often architects and their artist collaborators get the sky wrong in renderings of […] Click to continue reading this post

The Scottish police are looking for a trio of scam artists; they approached a woman on the street last week and asked if she wanted to meet a spiritual healer. Two scammers brought their victim to the third, who promised she could bless her jewelry and cash. The victim went home, placed her valuables in a bag and then met the trio and blessed the bag in private before returning it ,telling the victim not to open it because the charm needed time to work. The victim found junk when she opened the bag.
Slacker and Steve brought up the infamous meat trucks that went around your neighborhood selling raw meat from a freezer in the back of a truck. He ended up buying $100 worth of 'filet mignon' and gave it to his father and now believes it's the worst kind of meat to buy…he calls it "horse leather" and "chihuahua meat".
A personal scam that I've had was I bought a computer graphics card online with certain specifications and I received an item much worse than what I ordered. I was quite upset and was lucky enough to get my money refunded though.
What kinds of scams have you fell for?

Panel links underwater mapping sonar to whale stranding
For the first time, a scientific investigation has associated a mass whale stranding with a kind of sonar that is used to map the ocean floor, a finding that has set off alarms among energy companies and others who say the technology is critical to safe navigation of the planet's waters.
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — The mysterious stranding of about 100 melon-headed whales in a shallow Madagascar lagoon in 2008 set off a rapid international response — a few of the eight- to 10-foot marine mammals were rescued, necropsies conducted, a review panel formed.
Did they follow prey into the lagoon? Were they sick? Was it the weather, or chemical toxins?
The panel recently gave its best answer, and it is causing ripples of concern. For the first time, a rigorous scientific investigation has associated a mass whale stranding with a kind of sonar that is widely used to map the ocean floor, a finding that has set off alarms among energy companies and others who say the technology is critical to safe navigation of the planet's waters.
The independent review panel appointed by the International Whaling Commission concluded Sept. 25 that a high-powered, "multi-beam echosounder system" (MBES) was "the most plausible and likely behavioral trigger" for the stranding. About 75 of the animals, which normally inhabit deep ocean waters, died.
A contractor for Exxon Mobil was using the sonar system — which sends "ping" sounds from a vessel toward the ocean floor — in a channel between Mozambique and Madagascar to determine where an oil and gas exploration rig might be safely constructed.
Computers use the returning echo from the pulses of sound to map the ocean floor.
The panel of five scientists "systematically excluded or deemed highly unlikely" nearly every other possibility before settling on the use of the MBES, which previously was considered relatively benign, according to the group's report.
"The evidence seems clear to us that [the MBES] was pretty likely" the cause, said Brandon Southall, the panel's chairman and a marine biologist at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
Exxon Mobil, which helped select the panel and partly funded the rescue of some of the whales in 2008, rejects the conclusion, contending the evidence is too flimsy for a determination that could have a far-reaching impact.
U.S. Navy sonar has been implicated in harm to whales and dolphins, environmental groups contend. A federal judge last month ordered federal biologists to reconsider permits that could allow the Navy to kill or disrupt marine mammals during anti-submarine warfare exercises off the coast of the Pacific Northwest.

A terrible job, when she screwed up the lyrics; my wife and I just looked at each other in disbelief. Then she screeched her way through the rest of the anthem doing a worse job than Roseanne Barr ever did!!
People get the government they deserve.
Are you right WOC, or was she performing merely to boost her career rather than giving the anthem the respect it deserves.
To me, that is being disrespectful. And, if it was unintentional; you could have fooled me.
I vote for sending her straight to JD's room for punishment!!
