Historical Traveler Reviews Club Hotel le Totem Flaine
Not bad at all
I've never posted on a review forum before but felt I should after reading the poor reviews before going to Hotel Totem last week and worrying (unnecessarily) about our trip.
The food was good and plenty of it and we had four healthy appetites incuding a fussy eater and a serious nut allergy in our group. The restaurant staff were excellent and brought extra bread and clean crockery whenever asked. The rooms were basic but clean; as someone has already said it isn't a five star hotel but has never claimed to be and the cost reflected this.
To be fair there were a lot of screaming children but if we hadn't booked last minute we probably would have realised this would be the case as the hotel actively promotes itself as child/family friendly with tons of child care facilities.
Perhaps we were lucky but we had excellent snow and a great time.
I like children when their parents are in control
Just returned from Flaine. We purposely booked outside school holidays, we thought this would reduce the number of children in the hotel, how wrong we were. Both my wife and I work with children and like a break for our holidays. Obviously the parents who take their children out of school for trips also like a break from them because there was no discipline and we had children running throughout the hotel at all hours. This included the restaurant and bar area thus making a relaxing time impossible after a days skiing.
The staff were resigned to this and were very tolerant, the food was god. It was a shame really that so many families ordered the "chip" option instead of the good food on offer.
The skiing is reasonable in Flaine but the high winds closed the highest of the lift systems, so skiing was a little limited. My wife and I purposely stayed out till the lifts closed to avoid the screaming kids.
Close to slopes
The hotel was large and in a good location for the main gondola - about 100 yards away. The evening meal is good and there is enough to fill you up. There is a choice of meat or fish. Veggies have a choice too, but it looked to me like slightly less effort went into it than the meat dishes - pasta and sauce one night. The restaurant is tightly managed and the staff are pretty good and you may be able to influence your veggie meal. There was free, limited table wine too, which is best described as drinkable.
The bar is small, but serves a fair no. of drinks.
Breakfast is plentiful too. You can rot your teeth with the cereal or have croissant, pain au chocolat, tinned fruit salad, ham, cheese and bread - or a full English. Don't be too late, as some people were taking the breakfast away for their lunch.
The hotel is full of kids travelling at full speed. There is a tea at about 5pm, but get there before the kids, snatch your cake before they pilfer it all and disappear quickly before you go deaf. I took a pear from the fruit bowl. It was a bit hard. I turned it over to find a child-sized bite from it.
The hotel is just over the square from a tabac (selling cheaper phone cards than the hotel). If you go into the shopping arcade, there is a cashpoint upstairs. There is a pub called the White Bar on the square too. The usual ski-resort type pub. Big, busy, warm with lots of cold lager - the place to be seen - and watch videos of people skiing off cliffs.
This place is OK- a good place to go with a group of your mates. Staff are laid back. I saw one person complaining about [the constantly] dirty crockery at dinner, but the staff were just too chilled to let it bother them too much.
Crystal need to get some proffessional management in quick
On the surface everything appeared fine but there are problems , half the clients and staffs had food poisoning of some form during our week,thank heavens we are old hands,but the young staff treat you like "kids" which they are,you feel you are an inconvience to their "fun" compared to the extremily hard working local French restuarant and ski instructors who are really good.Bar price were the highest in the resort.Room cleaning was flaky.Our transfer was a complete screw up being abandoned at Geneva airport with the Terminal light s being turned off because of the late hour was not good.Thank heavens the "skiing" which we came for was good,It could be so much better
Buck your ideas up quick Crystal!
Ideally located. Rooms OK. Some staff great.
FOOD AWFUL! Not once in the week (last wk Jan 07) was there a full selection of breakfast items available - either hot or cold. I varied time of arrival across the opening times throughout the week to see if it was just me but to no avail. That available not impressive - unless you're into eggs like bullets or soggy hash browns, to name but 2.
Starter one night consisted of 1/4 (yes thats right) 1/4 of a small tomato with a teaspoon of mozarella. Another night soup was served barely luke warm in a coffee cup. The lack of bread was such a feature we, and several other groups, resorted to bringing our own into dinner. Despite complaints to various staff and managers no attempt to improve was made through the week
Cleanliness of rooms is also a prob. Not too bad for us though bathroom only cleaned once and towels only changed once. In one room food and clothing was found under a bed that must have been there from last season!!
Top tips Crystal:
1. people come to spend a full day exerting themselves on the mountain - send them out with a decent breakfast and feed them well when they return and they might even return the following year!
2. fresh towels for a bath following a day of exercise is not at all unreasonable in this day and age
3. The customer is generally right - it really does pay to listen AND react accordingly
Contary to other reviews
Our group arrived on 20th January for 7 days, and found nothing but kindness and pleasant service. Perhaps, unlike others, we did not expect 5 star service at 3 star prices. However we were well received and the staff very helpful. There was always plenty of waiters(M and F)in attendance at breakfast and dinner. There was always plenty of food, though at breakfast there was some delay at times in a continual supply of cooked food, but in fairness about 200 people wanted their breakfast at the same time. The Chef was excellent and the menu varied, anything from frog's legs to Guinea fowl and plenty more "normal" food. There was usually a choice of 3 options with the main course. The comment on the price of alcohol is unfair as the prices seemed to be at this level everywhere in the town and on the slopes. I would recommend this hotel to anybody. I felt your other reviews were unfair.
Poor food.
Stayed at Le Totem from 16/12/06 for one week with my family.
The hotel is ideally located close to ski rental, ski school, lifts and also restaurants/shops. We had a comfortable but cosy room with a balcony overlooking one of the nursery slopes. The lighting in the room was very poor.
The food was nicely presented, an attempt to make it look better than it was. On the first night we waited well over an hour for our main course! Other people arrived in the restaurant after us, ate and left and we still hadn't eaten.
The food during the week never arrived hot, it was always luke warm. The free wine consisted of .25l.
Breakfasts were very poor considering that they were to be a substantial source of energy for the day. One particular day, at 08.05am, there were no croissants or bread left.(When the croissants were there they were usually burnt!). The cooked breakfast buffet was rationed by the staff and extremely poor.
By Tuesday we had decided to eat out at night and in the mornings, for the children, I would get croissants from the shop opposite.
The staff were ever so friendly, however vastly inexperienced at problem solving.
The skiing was good, I would recommend the resort but not the accomodation unless they change the chef at Le Totem. If the hotel were to concentrate on straightforward hearty food I'm sure that they would do better.
Awful food/service!
We booked a family ski trip here during Christmas week. The location is great and you can ski in and out of the hotel. What really lets the place down is the poor standard of service, the bolshie attitude of the staff (especially Reception) and the dreadful food. It is run by Crystal Holidays.
1. The staff are all english/irish and very young with very little experience of working in hotels. It took us 24 hours to get a light bulb changed...and there were numerous other examples of poor service and attitude.
2. The (very expensive) bar is geared to the young english reveller, who wants potent cocktails and happy hours, rather than families.
3. The food was truly revolting...very small portions and usually served lukewarm. I felt ill by the middle of the week. They limit the (cheap) 'free' wine to 0.25 litre each.
4. The 'chef's night off' scam is employed here, so full board does not apply on Wednesday night. Make sure you book a restaurant early or you will find it hard to get a table ( or you can continue to eat at le Totem for 25 euros per head!).
5. The rooms are OK although the lighting in the bedroom (two low energy bulbs on stalks) is bizarre.
Advice: investigate the other hotels and places to stay in Flaine...there are much better places than Le Totem! We shall not be returning.
Fantastic Flaine!!!!
This was my first ski holiday so was not sure what to expect but had a fantastic time. Thought the hotel was superb and the evening meals were fantastic, much better than I expected for the money we paid!!! It may not be the most luxurious hotel in the world but found it to be very clean and very comfortable. Being a beginner it was great having the ski school, lifts, etc practically on the door step. Would definitely go back again some time. Did not have children with us but the childcare facilities on offer looked great so, now that we are travelling with a child, did not hesitate to book our next ski holiday through Crystal again, just trying a different resort this time!!!!!
Good Location but cleanliness standard of hotel low
Le Totem hotel in Flaine has an excellent location on the piste but because its run by Crystal Ski, you wont get the kind of service & cleanliness expected at a 3 star hotel.
Our room was very small, the carpet was really dirty and housekeeping never once vacummed or cleaned the bathroom during our stay (1 week)
The evening meals generally pretty good, altough it was hard to find basics, like teaspoons, sugar, clean glasses at meal times, especially breakfast.
The hotel is extremely kid friendly, lots of kids so if you prefer adult company at all times I recommend you go elsewhere.

What a day ! We drove 90mins to Lac Aiguebelette and had a wonderful day. By chance we were able to wander into the athletes area and cruised around all their tents. Just like a Sunday picnic, except, stationery bikes, kids paddling pools and rowing boats everywhere. We tracked down the Kiwi's and quickly took a photo and moved on. We watched the activity on the athlete's screen, went and saw the boats being weighed and really felt part of the action. ...

It depends on the woman! Sometimes it's EWCM and sometimes it's creamy. In my experience it's offwhite and creamy.
And remember, only 10-20% woment get Implantation bleeding. Usually once the egg turns into a trophoblast your body naturally produces a mucous plug, so that would keep any bleeding up in your uterus, and the extra mucous to make this plug may make your CM ewcm, but in most cases it's creamy.
Justice for Deidre! Killed in a hit and run and we need some answers!

For me it was sticky and white, but not stretchy. It was that way all the way until I got my BFP, and throughout my pregnancy.
Same for me, it was sticky and white. But I honestly didn't think anything of it as my CM is always either watery, creamy, or sticky. I never really get EWCM that stretches
^ Warning: Pictures of CM from the site describing the different kinds of CM.
I have sticky and white CM right now and I'm on the 2ww.

Jane was a treasure. She was available and helped me at every chance she could. She gave me rides when I was headed the same direction as she was. She answered any and all questions I had. Overall tremendous! The apt was very nice and I cannot stress enough how important having a bath tub was for me. So hard to find in CR. The apt was fully stocked and exactly what I was looking for. The only negative comment is that there is a lot of semi truck noise. The mtn commute road is right outside and they use their engine brake for the curves. Sooo loud. I loved my experience with Jane and hope to return next time

Sanctuary of the Soul: Journey into Meditative Prayer
InterVarsity Press, Sep 8, 2011 - Religion - 165 pages
2011 Leadership Journal Top Book of the Year! "At the very heart of God is the passionate disposition to be in loving fellowship with you. . . . From the human side of this equation it is meditative prayer that ushers us into this divine-human fellowship." Richard Foster, bestselling author and founder of Renovaré, writes these words as one who has experienced what they describe. And in this new book he will beautifully guide you in this transformational way, that you might come to know deeper fellowship with God. Weaving together quotes and stories from the lives of mothers and fathers of the faith as well as powerful encounters with God from his own life, Foster describes the riches of quieting your mind and heart in order to listen to and obey God more closely. Along the way, at perhaps his clearest, most practical best, he also provides the biblical teaching and step-by-step help you need to begin this prayer practice for yourself. The journey into meditative prayer is not easy, but it is essential. And, as Foster shows, it's possible, even in the midst of the noisy, often chaotic world we live in. Your soul can become a sanctuary where you fellowship with the very God of the universe, who knows you and loves you deeply. These pages point the way.

Reportedly, Barack Obama has rejected Lindsay Lohan's offer to hold a fundraiser, prompting a "Say What?!" from the John McCain camp.
According to The Chicago Sun-Times which quoted a high level Obama source, saying that the Dem prez candidate rejected LiLo's offer because she "is not exactly the kind of high profile star who would be positive for us."
Now, McCain's campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds has sided with La Lohan (sort of) who openly supports Obama by blogging constantly about him.
"So let me get this straight," Bounds told TMZ. "They turned away Lindsay Lohan but Barack Obama has friends like unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and convicted felon Tony Rezko? Maybe LiLo is just too upstanding for Barack Obama?"
To which, Obama spokesman Tommy Vieto responded, "Glad to see they're focused on the important issues over in McCain HQ."
Hey guys, here's one word you two comic-book candidates need to focus on: Economy.
That and the nation's ongoing teen prego crisis!

Designing and installing home organization systems in Brevard County for more than 18 years, the Dottos strive to offer other families truly custom-built solutions to suit their fast-paced lifestyles. "Everybody's needs are different and desires are different," said Joanie, "So we try to work with everybody as to how they live, not how we think they should live."

The world is going to end, it is just a matter of time. In The Last Policeman, they know when and they don't have too long. In a world threatened by an impending asteroid strike, Detective Hank Palace might just be the last working policeman. Crime is on the rise, but who wants to waste the effort bringing criminals to justice, when the asteroid will bring its own. Palace sets about solving a murder in this first of an anticipated trilogy. The investigation won't be easy since the murder looks like a suicide, and those have become all too prevalen
The latest William Monk mystery follows the well established pattern of an early arrest but with lingering questions and a scramble for more information during trial. With these books I find I'm not so much concerned with "whodunnit" as I am with the background history of the time period. This story deals with early pharmacy reform and the the use, abuse and increasing addiction to opium in the 1860s. I always enjoy Anne Perry's stories for their period detail.
In this breathtaking sequel to Kepler's The Hypnotist, we find Swedish detective Joona Linna investigating the mysterious murder of a young woman. The story switches between a terrifying chase scene played out over semi deserted islands, and the political intrigue of international arms deals. Linna at times comes off as larger than life, but you want to know what he is doing and thinking. Follow Loona and his colorful cast of heroes and villains in this excellent sequel.
A different kind of mystery. Billy Webb, a recent college grad, gets his first job as an editor for a dictionary publisher located in a small town in western Massachusetts. From the details it is obvious the author has worked as a lexicographer herself. Researching the word "editrix" in the enormous citation file that includes snippets from books and magazines showing words in use, Billy and co-worker Mona come across a quotation from a novel entitled The Broken Teaglass that appears to be set in their office. Intrigued, they try to track the book down only to
In this sequel to the religious conspiracy novel 'Sanctus,' we pick up where we left off. Liv Adamsen has survived an explosion in the Citadel, but doesn't have any memory about how she got into the sacred fortress, or how she got out. Now her fellow survivors are mysteriously dying, one by one. She appears to be next.
Someone is playing strange and nasty pranks on the citizens of Elvestad, and Inspector Konrad Sejer is called in to investigate. What begins as unnverving (one elderly woman reads her own obituary in the newspaper, and a dying man answers the door to find the hearse has arrived to pick him up) becomes increasingly sinister as the novel progresses. Fossum examines the impact of evil on the human mind in this psychological thriller--and provides no comforting conclusion. Another standout book from this Scandinavian author (try The Indian Bride as well).
What starts out as a plan to help people with medical issues by giving them implants to help their problems, grows into something much more. Some peoples skills are so amplified that they seem superhuman. Wilson's book starts with a Supreme Court decision banning 'Amps' from full rights as citizens. The results of which are catastrophic and threaten to start a new civil war. We follow the story of one special Amp and his struggle in this new America. An excellent, fast paced sci-fi thriller.
Geiger is an 'information retrieval' specialist. He knows exactly how to get the information he wants, whatever means necessary. Geiger is not only good at his job, he is considered the best. The only information that continues to escape him is his own past. Geiger's past and future collide when he is asked to get information from a twelve-year-old boy. Mayhem ensues… Check Our Catalog
Kate Moore is an expat living in Luxembourg, trying to make a go of things. She has left her life and career in the States to follow her husband to Europe, where he is working in bank security. Moore is adapting to life in a new country, bringing the kids to school, learning a new language, when all of a sudden her secret past comes back to light.
Having enjoyed Zen on Masterpiece Mystery I went looking for the books the series is based on. This is the first of the Aurelio Zen mysteries, oddly enough shown as the third episode in the TV series. The book provides a much more detailed story with many more characters and an ending that doesn't work out quite as simply as on TV.

Aimed to function as a GIS platform for Tungnan University to establish a campus navigation system, the Eco-cultural Web-GIS employs Internet Information Services as the webpage server, Microsoft SQL Server as the database platform, SuperWebGIS as the map server, in combining spatial data with environmental information.
Equipped with WebGIS technologies and a user-friendly interface, the Eco-cultural Web-GIS can display maps including e-maps, satellite images, Google Earth 3D buildings, etc. It associates the existing navigation system of campus with tourism resource database, and publishes the spatial data and tourism information to the Internet as map services.
Users can switch to browse the e-map or the satellite image and manipulate the map functions, like pan, zoom in/out, zoom to full extent. By clicking the map with query tools, users can also view specific tourism information of locations nearby the campus, such as scenic spot, the name of store, address, and phone number, etc.
The webpage function interface of the Eco-cultural Web-GIS covers two main parts: the map display area on the left and the Google Earth display area on the right of the interface. The maps on the two sides are exhibited simultaneously. While the map on the left part is zoomed to a certain area, the Google Earth on the right part will be zoomed to the same position as well, vice versa.
In addition to the three-dimensional terrain on Google Earth display interface, the three-dimensional model of campus buildings can be added to Google Earth display interface as well. Therefore, the map display content can be greatly enriched and the students can understand the process of GIS data collecting, managing and displaying by manipulation. Besides, instructors can publish updated data and integrate the course to substantially raise teaching quality and efficiency with the system.

By Elayne Clift
At danger spots in the Middle East and elsewhere, CNN reporters Sara Sidner and Arwa Damon lend their particular perspectives, in a tradition of war correspondents who happen to be women.
Night after night they reported "live" for CNN as the Libyan revolution unfolded, one in flak jacket and helmet, the other with her trademark keffiyeh encircling her neck, both of them calm and cogent amid the sounds of war. With their stellar reporting, Sara Sidner and Arwa Damon joined the ranks of women war correspondents whose reporting changed the way we understand war and its human toll.
Sidner began reporting as a student while earning a degree in telecommunications from the University of Florida. After stints in Dallas and San Francisco she began her CNN career in New Delhi where she quickly garnered worldwide attention for her coverage of the Mumbai terrorist attacks. She also covered the Pakistan floods, the Haiti earthquake, the 2004 tsunami, and elections in Afghanistan. Throughout it all, she remained knowledgeable and unflappable in the face of danger.
Arwa Damon, Boston-born and a Skidmore graduate, was raised in Morocco and Turkey. Fluent in Arabic, Turkish, and French, she has been covering the Middle East for CNN since 2006. She reported the conflict in Iraq and the trial and execution of Saddam Hussein, and she was the first TV reporter permitted inside the Khamiya women's prison in Bagdad. She shared the appalling conditions for women incarcerated there. She also showed the world a five-year old Iraqi child named Youssif who was badly burned in an attack. By telling the women's and children's stories she put a human face on war's most vulnerable victims. (Youssif's story led to him receiving medical treatment in the United States.) Later, Damon covered the Egyptian uprising from Cairo before going to Libya.
Sidner and Damon follow in the tradition of women reporters and war correspondents like Christiane Amanpour, who was recognized for her CNN coverage of the Persian Gulf War in 1990 as well as for her reporting from war zones in countries like Israel, Iran, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Rwanda. Often she, too, wore a flak jacket and a keffiyeh while filing hard-hitting reports that gave viewers new insight into what occurs in a war zone. "I remember once doing a live shot from a so-called famine camp in Ethiopia," she said, while keynoting the Edward R. Murrow awards. "I was showing a man … explaining how ill he was, and it was a live camera and all of a sudden I realized that he was dying. And I didn't know … how to get the camera away, what to do that would not sully what was happening in real life … the weeping that we hear—children, women, even men. And these images and these sounds are always with me."
Following trailblazers of WWII
Women like Martha Gellhorn, Margaret Bourke-White, Virginia Cowles, and others who told the stories of World War II are part of the tradition that Sidner, Damon, and Amanpour now represent. These women changed forever how war and conflict are reported. It took courage and cunning to achieve what they did. Gellhorn, for example, crossed the English Channel hiding in the lavatory of a hospital ship the day after the Normandy Invasion. Once she had waded ashore with stretcher bearers, she came under enemy fire but she got her story. Similarly, Bourke-White finagled her way onto a dangerous bombing mission in North Africa, later calling it "a mission of death." (For a compelling account of WWII women correspondents see The Women Who Wrote the War by Nancy Caldwell Sorel.)
During the war, women reporters challenged the belief that women should not witness battle or report on it. When they finally got the chance to file, their stories differed notably from male accounts. "Think in terms of million," Virginia Cowles wrote to describe hordes of fleeing Parisians in June 1940. "Think of noise and confusion, of the thick smell of petrol, of the scraping of automobile gears, of shouts, wails, curses, tears." Women wrote of men in hospitals who had fled invading armies but they also talked with people on trains and in their homes. The portraits they painted were as much about civilians as soldiers.
During the Vietnam War women went to the battlefields as reporters in unprecedented numbers. According to author and journalism professor Joyce Hoffmann, approximately 300 women were accredited from 1965 to 1975, although only 70 actually published or broadcast their work. Despite General William Westmoreland's belief that women would be a distraction on the battlefield, the troops welcomed them. Many of the women, or "girl reporters" as they were called, were esteemed among the men with whom they saw action, and their stories again enriched public understanding of the human costs of war. One of these women, Dickey Chapelle, died on patrol with U.S. Marines, and two other journalists, Elizabeth Pond and Kate Webb, were captured and held prisoner by the Viet Cong. (They were later released unharmed.) Even so, and despite receiving some of journalism's most important awards, the women who covered the Vietnam War remain largely unrecognized.
Does gender play a role in war reporting? Two psychiatrists explored that question for Harvard's Nieman Foundation through extensive interviews with war correspondents (two-thirds of whom were male). They concluded that female war journalists are not more likely than their male counterparts to suffer psychological distress. They also suggest that "female war journalists are more likely to be single and better educated than their male colleagues." They are "a highly select group. It is not by chance that these women have gravitated to the frontlines of war. … The predictable 9-to-5 daily grind … is not a lifestyle they are likely to embrace."
Correspondent Marie Colvin, cited in the Nieman report on covering the civil war in Sri Lanka, would likely agree. Assessing the risks she took she wrote, "Was I stupid? Stupid I would feel writing a column about the dinner party I attended last night. … For my part, the next war I cover, I'll be more awed than ever by the quiet bravery of civilians who endure more than I ever will. They must stay where they are. I can come home to London."
It's a sentiment, no doubt, that Sara Sidner and Arwa Damon can appreciate.

I am all for gencer equality. Men have been getting the dirty end of the stick long enough!
During War, ALL persons - regardless of gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation - should be allowed to serve where they are best qualified to be. Women do generally have a different perspective and understanding of things - more human and less technical. These women are courageous and are helping to create understanding, which is what was needed to avoid war in the first place.
The article below does not specify whether this Soviet Sniper went in for manicures. All things considered, I'd rather be behind her than in front of her, and I would definitely watch my tongue around her.
Lieutenant Lyudmila Pavlichenko (World War II) female Soviet sniper with 309 confirmed kills, making her the most successful female sniper in history.[60] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sniper
@steve, you seem to be in the majority when it comes to a mans feelings about women's equality. I encounter this all the time. Can I ask you why you bristle when you see anything about women's equality? Do you think all women are the same? Do you think there are no women fighting on the front lines? Do you think no woman ever pays for her and her date? Do think all women just want a man to pay for them? This is what those words imply. And it tells you why women are angry. There are many women who do want true equality, but until then most women are paid less than their male counterparts. If you want women to pay their fair share you should be fighting for their equality as well. Not putting up a wall to prevent it!
steve, has it not crossed you tiny mind that maybe women talking equality would prefer the MEN stay away from the rifles? what makes you think that equality is accomplished by what men do/want?
if women had written more history books we'd have fewer stats and more humanity - what these stats actually MEAN.
gods i'm tired of misogynistic, narrowminded and mean spirited people - male or female.
great article. We still don't have Equal Rights in the America !!!
Women, who demand equal rights, should be on the front lines with rifles in their manicured hands, fighting and dying like men are forced to do.
Equal rights means equal rights--not equal rights until the check comes.
Maybe with more exposure to these examples, we will see more female war correspondent's in the future and as the face of war changes we will see fewer wars.
These women are awesome!! It's bravery, intelligence, and courage of convictions like theirs that allows us to see and learn things (such as the conditions in the Khamiya women's prison in Baghdad) that we would otherwise never know. And it allows us to then do what we can to help.
Thanks for sharing.

WASHINGTON, March 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Monday, March 22, 2010 at 1:00PM EDT, Public Health Reports will host a "Meet the Author!" webcast entitled "How Healthy Could a State Be." Dr. David Kindig, Emeritus Professor of Population Health Sciences and the Emeritus Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, will discuss how states might expect their mortality rates to be lowered if they obtained the best levels of health determinants observed among all states. He will also talk about the major areas requiring investment if these goals are to be met and address how states will require different investment strategies depending on their pattern of modifiable and non-modifiable determinants. Dr. Kindig's presentation will be based on his feature article in the March/April 2010 issue of Public Health Reports.
Dr. Daniel Fox, President Emeritus of the Milbank Memorial Fund in New York City, NY, will provide accompanying commentary to Dr. Kindig's presentation. Dr. Fox will focus his discussion on the politics of achievable mortality, particularly related to applying rigorous research on the effectiveness of interventions to improve health.

Puppini Sisters
The Puppini Sisters are a musical trio specializing in 1940's style vocal 'close harmony' music. Members consist of Italian Marcella Puppini and English Stephanie O'Brien and Kate Mullins. The group was founded by Marcella after she was inspired by the animated film Belleville Rendez-vous. The Puppini Sisters' debut single, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", is a cover of the iconic hit single by The Andrews Sisters and, although the three are not actually related, they name themselves so in tribute to The Andrews Sisters.

Raisinville cleanup day May 5
Cleanup day for Raisinville Township residents has been set for May 5 at the township hall between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Almost all items except for trash, concrete and tires will be accepted, said Supervisor Janet Kuehnlein.
The Raisinville Township Board at a recent meeting approved the repaving of Ida-Maybee Rd. north of N. Custer Rd. to Day Rd. The cost of the project is estimated at $731,451 with the township responsible for $135,851. Stoneco and the Monroe County Road Commission are covering the rest.
The board also allowed outdoor storage for trailers, campers and other equipment on a piece of property along N. Custer west of Ida-Maybee.
Bullying task force named
The Ida Public School Board of Education has assigned an anti-bullying task force.
The task force will be made up of one administrator, one board of education member, one community health professional, three parents, two students and two teachers, Supt. Rick Carsten said.
School board members awarded a $220,320 contract to Monroe Glass Co. to replace windows in the elementary building as part of its energy conservation program. Carsten said the new windows will pay for themselves in energy savings within the next 14 years.
A contract was awarded to Southern Bleacher Co. of Graham, Texas, to replace the bleachers' wooden footboards with aluminum, add aluminum risers and widen the aisles.
The board awarded two technology contracts totaling $73,581 to install a wireless network to the elementary, middle and high schools and to strengthen the schools' technology infrastructure, Mr. Carsten said.
Police handle fewer calls
Rockwood police handled more than 4,300 incidents in 2011, about 308 fewer calls than in 2010, Chief Stephen P. Rowe said.
A total of 210 incidents required supplemental investigations by the Rockwood Police Department's detective bureau, Chief Rowe said in his annual report. There were 28 cases involving enhanced driving crimes, 26 domestic violence complaints, 14 larcenies, 12 assaults, a dozen home invasions and 10 crimes involving drugs.
There were 28 cases involving juvenile offenses and 13 search warrants issued. The city jail housed more than 140 prisoners during the year. The number includes only those people who were incarcerated for a day or more.
Burn ordered for campus land
The Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary's private land on W. Elm Ave. will be burned to allow certain species of plants to grow.
Non-native species of plants in the grassland at the W. Elm Ave. property choke out the native plant species. The fire kills off everything and allows the native species to grow back, said Molly Hunt, communications manager of the sisters Sisters.
This type of burn needs to happen every two to three years, Hunt said.
The Monroe Fire Department has issued a burn permit. David Borneman of Ann Arbor, who has more than 20 years experience with prescribed burns, will conduct the burn.
London inks mowing pact
London Township has signed a contract for $16,250 with D&D Wyse of Dundee to continue mowing noxious weeds along local roads in the township this summer.
The township board approved of the pact Monday night. The Wyse firm has been cutting the weeds for years, said Supervisor Barb Henley. The firm will cut the weeds twice, once early in the season and once late in the season, she said.
The board discussed the theft of mail from the township mailbox outside of the town hall in late January. The mail was found by a neighbor and returned safely by police, Mrs. Henley said. She said the staff will monitor the mailbox to assure the mail is picked up each day.
The board also learned that Ed Girard Jr., a local contractor who digs farm ponds, has donated about $1,900 to a fund established for maintaining Tuttle-Hill Rd. Mr. Girard will be milling a portion of Oelke Rd. with the road commission's permission, Mrs. Henley said.
Researching 1812 Ancestors
Ever wonder if you had an ancestor who fought in the War of 1812? Want to know how you can research War of 1812 veterans? Ever wonder what it was like for a War of 1812 soldier during the war?
Fort Meigs, in downtown Perrysburg, Ohio, will host a workshop from 1 to 3 p.m. March 24 for people to learn more about the War of 1812. Participants will learn about the resources available for finding War of 1812 veterans and the best way to go about conducting research. In addition, a special talk will describe the life of a common soldier during the War of 1812.
The cost is $10 and pre-registration is required.
For more information on this event or all of the other events at this National Historic Landmark, visit www.fortmeigs.org or call (800) 283-8916.
Deadline nears for tree orders
The deadline for ordering seedling trees and shrubs from the Monroe Conservation District's annual spring sale is March 26.
The district offers high-quality, bare-root shrubs and trees to the community each spring to support ongoing programs. Plants are chosen for their benefits in providing wildlife habitat, soil stability, windbreaks and other land management practices.
Anyone who has not yet received an order form and or who would like one can call the district office at 241-7755 ext. 3 or print a form from the district Web site at www.monroecd.org.
The sale is a major fundraiser for the district, which has undergone cuts in funding from both county and state sources, said Catherine Acerboni, district administrator.

VIDAZA Restores Gene Function to Double Survival and Increase Transfusion Independence
CROSSWICKS, N.J., Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Foundation says data published in the peer reviewed medical journal The Lancet Oncology confirms VIDAZA extends survival for patients with higher-risk MDS. Myelodysplastic syndromes are a group of blood-related malignancies that are difficult to treat and in higher-risk patients have a median survival rate of less than one year. Symptoms include anemia and fatigue, and often patients must rely on blood transfusions to manage the symptoms. VIDAZA, also known by its chemical name, azacitidine, represents a new approach to treatment with important benefits for patients with MDS, and a related condition called acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/mds-foundation/37124/
"The data from this large international study of VIDAZA is important news for the patients we represent, validating a new treatment option and offering tangible results for this difficult-to-treat disease," said Kathy Heptinstall, Operating Director of the Myelodysplastic Syndromes Foundation.
"VIDAZA was able to essentially double survival at two years compared to conventional care," says Lewis Silverman, M.D., of Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York and senior study author. "VIDAZA is the first and only drug that we know extends survival."
In MDS, genes responsible for orderly growth and development of cells in the bone marrow are turned off or silenced, allowing the cells to become malignant. VIDAZA turns these genes back on through a system of actions called epigenetics, a new approach to cancer treatment. It is also the first drug to achieve transfusion independence in more than 40%

Health services across Europe provide health care for migrant patients every day. However, little systematic research has explored the views and experiences of health care professionals in different European countries. The aim of this study was to assess the difficulties professionals experience in their service when providing such care and what they consider constitutes good practice to overcome these problems or limit their negative impact on the quality of care.
Structured interviews with open questions and case vignettes were conducted with health care professionals working in areas with high proportion of migrant populations in 16 countries. In each country, professionals in nine primary care practices, three accident and emergency hospital departments, and three community mental health services (total sample = 240) were interviewed about their views and experiences in providing care for migrant patients, i.e. from first generation immigrant populations. Answers were analysed using thematic content analysis.
Eight types of problems and seven components of good practice were identified representing all statements in the interviews. The eight problems were: language barriers, difficulties in arranging care for migrants without health care coverage, social deprivation and traumatic experiences, lack of familiarity with the health care system, cultural differences, different understandings of illness and treatment, negative attitudes among staff and patients, and lack of access to medical history. The components of good practice to overcome these problems or limit their impact were: organisational flexibility with sufficient time and resources, good interpreting services, working with families and social services, cultural awareness of staff, educational programmes and information material for migrants, positive and stable relationships with staff, and clear guidelines on the care entitlements of different migrant groups. Problems and good care components were similar across the three types of services.
Health care professionals in different services experience similar difficulties when providing care to migrants. They also have relatively consistent views on what constitutes good practice. The degree to which these components already are part of routine practice varies. Implementing good practice requires sufficient resources and organisational flexibility, positive attitudes, training for staff and the provision of information.

As Playoffs Begin, Carter's Role With Knicks Will Grow
Six minutes into a game against the Miami Heat in February, in the third game since the team's blockbuster trade for forward Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks' season took an unexpected turn.
Coach Mike D'Antoni, searching for anyone to stop Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade, called upon Anthony Carter, a 35-year-old reserve point guard who had played just 14 games this season in Denver and was a throw-in in the Anthony deal.
Even though D'Antoni told Carter to watch Wade at the start of the game in case he had to defend him, Carter never expected he'd get any minutes—especially not meaningful minutes against one of the NBA's elite players.
"He told me he was going to find minutes for me," Carter said. "I didn't know he was going to find them that quick."
The playing time that once surprised Carter has grown significantly over the next two months.
So as the Knicks prepare for Sunday's opening playoff game against the Celtics in Boston, Carter has locked down a spot in the playing rotation, solidifying his hold on the backup point guard position.
It appears that Toney Douglas, the 25-year-old sharpshooter who was the team's backup point guard for most of the season, will be used almost exclusively at shooting guard.
Carter's success story is a wacky one. He was undrafted out of Hawaii and played in the CBA before latching on with the Miami Heat in 1999. After bouncing around with the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves, he found himself with the Nuggets.
Knicks president Donnie Walsh said that he's been intrigued by Carter in the past, though neither Carter nor D'Antoni said they knew what to expect when he was thrown into the trade.
He is known as a energetic defender—with D'Antoni praising his ability to "get into people." But for the Knicks, his most interesting trait is his ability to run a frantic offense, a style that since the trade has mostly been missing as new point guard Chauncey Billups installed a more sedate, half-court set.
In fact, Billups was the first person to suggest to D'Antoni that Carter could give the Knicks the infusion of energy they needed. Offensive structure, however, is not something Carter brings.
"Why run plays when you can run and have fun?" Carter said. "It's all about having fun. I'm just trying to get everybody on the same page with energy."
D'Antoni said the offense "goes up a couple of gears" when Carter is in the game. D'Antoni likes his defensive energy and last week said "you can't underestimate heart."
D'Antoni said there's no particular reason why Carter is effective, since he's not a great shooter. D'Antoni chalks it up to simply playing hard and smart.
So far, Carter has averaged 4.2 points per game as a Knick, up from 1.9 in his time as a Nugget. He's also averaged 2.1 rebounds. Carter has already appeared in 18 games with the Knicks.
Statistics don't convey the energy he's trying to provides, but there is data that shows he's making an impact.
He's plus-36 on the season, meaning the Knicks have outscored their opponents by that margin in the 289 minutes he's been on the floor. Billups, meanwhile, is minus-15 in 663 minutes.
Carter has anchored a second-unit that has enabled the Knicks to give their stars some needed rest.
He said his goal is to play the way most second units like to play. "They like to run. They like to get out and play good, tough defense.''
Carter said he's "never liked running plays" since the defense many times clamps down on the point guard.
"And," he adds. "We've got guys who like to run."
