In this "PSA era" that is, a time when PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood tests are detecting prostate cancer at a much earlier stage than in the past there is a great deal of uncertainty about what the best treatments are and whether finding and treating the cancer early makes a difference in survival. Dr. Michael Barry, the first primary care physician ever asked to speak at ASTRO's annual meeting, reviewed what evidence we do have during his Wednesday morning keynote address. As Chief of the General Medicine Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Barry is actively involved in prostate cancer treatment and research.
His hour-long address, "Beliefs and Evidence in the Outcomes of Treatment and Screening in Prostate Cancer," led to the all-too-common conclusion that more evidence from clinical trials is needed before we can make definitive statements about prostate cancer screening and treatment. In the meantime, though, it may be useful to note how radiation oncologists and urologists come at the problem from different points of view. After devoting the first part of his talk to this topic, Dr. Barry moved on to what he called the "64,000 dollar question:" "Does it all work? Are population-based data for mortality confirming that early detection and treatment make a difference?" So far, the answer seems to be a qualified "maybe," although several large-scale trials under way should provide better answers in the coming decade.
In spite of these areas of agreement, however, one key disagreement emerged, just as researchers expected it would. Urologists favored radical prostatectomy as the optimal treatment for moderately differentiated, localized prostate cancer, while radiation oncologists favored radiation therapy. For example, 93 percent of urologists chose radical prostatectomy as the preferred treatment option, while 72 percent of radiation oncologists believed that surgery and external beam radiotherapy were equivalent treatments. Furthermore, while 84 percent of radiation oncologists said that radical prostatectomy is overused as a primary treatment for prostate cancer, only 32 percent of urologists thought so. For most tumor grades and prostate-specific antigen levels, both specialty groups were significantly more likely to recommend the treatment in their specialty than the other treatment.
Is it simply that a specialist is biased toward the treatment with which he or she is most comfortable? Not necessarily, said Barry. "We don't know who is right," he said, "but there are fundamental differences in how specialists view the effectiveness of these therapies in relation to side effects." He noted that urologists thought radical prostatectomy was "still worth it," despite the perceived higher risk of side effects. Radiation oncologists didn't, and therefore were more likely to favor radiation therapy.
Even though these two groups of specialists diverged in their thinking about treatment, Barry noted that they seemed to be painting accurate pictures for patients when estimating the risk of side effects. Using data from the National Cancer Institute's Prostate Cancer Outcomes Study, which is looking at quality-of-life issues subsequent to treatment, Barry pointed out that these patients' actual experiences with side effects tended to match up with urologists' and radiation oncologists' predictions in his survey.
However, he was also quick to point out that side effects can vary according to where a procedure is done. With radical prostatectomy, Barry noted, side effects can range widely due to variations in technique and a "volume-outcome relationship" -- surgeons who perform more procedures are likely to produce better results. He cited a study by Dr. Walsh of Johns Hopkins University, which reported that the rates for recovery of urinary continence and sexual function were much better for patients treated by an experienced surgeon at a high-volume center (Urology 2000 Jan; 55(1): 58-61).
Unfortunately, there is not enough information available to say which treatment is best for the man with localized, moderately differentiated prostate cancer (meaning that he does not have the most aggressive form of the disease, as suggested by cell appearance). "There are few randomized clinical trials available yet for localized prostate cancer," Dr. Barry noted, but they are the best way to get more definite answers. At the same time, thanks to PSA testing, more and more men are being diagnosed with localized, early-stage prostate cancer. In the absence of hard data, those men will have to work with their physicians to make the most educated choice they can.
He noted that one of the biggest difficulties researchers face in studying PSA-era outcomes is allowing sufficient time for follow-up. Since men are being diagnosed so much earlier that they were in the pre-PSA era, they must be followed longer after treatment, too -- particularly if we want to make accurate comparisons between pre-PSA and PSA-era data. "There are big differences in lead time [before diagnosis]," Barry said, "and we have to take these into account." The biggest problem with some of the data that is available, he said, is "insufficient follow-up." Researchers simply have not been able to follow PSA-era men long enough to make accurate judgments.
Barry is now collaborating with other researchers on a comparative study of men in Seattle versus those in Connecticut. He explained that Seattle adopted early detection and aggressive treatment for prostate cancer early in the PSA era (1987-90), while Connecticut did not. The study has been following a group of men since 1987. So far, researchers have found that Seattle men were twice as likely to have a prostate biopsy, twice as likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and six times as likely to have radical prostatectomy. They were also getting more radiation therapy. So far, however, researchers have not seen an earlier impact on mortality rates in Seattle versus Connecticut. "It may be that we haven't followed the men long enough," Barry noted.
These results are very different from those published by Barsch et al. in a recent issue of the Journal of Urology. The researchers looked at 65,000 men ages 45 to 75 in Tyrol, a state in western Austria that adopted widespread PSA screening in 1993. In fact, two-thirds of the men had been tested by 1996. The researchers reported that population-based prostate cancer mortality rates had dropped 32 percent in 1997 and 42 percent in 1998 versus the rates for 1986-1990. They also found that the rates dropped faster than in the rest of Austria. "But it seems awfully early to see such benefit," Barry noted.
These sharply contrasting results helped Barry demonstrate his point that more research and more follow-up are needed before we will know whether finding prostate cancer early and treating it actually impacts mortality.
"The chances of being told you have prostate cancer are definitely higher," Barry said. "I would like to see the day when you can be definitively told that your likelihood of surviving is higher as well."

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — Thailand's richest man, a former prime minister and a Chinese tycoon with close ties to banks in three cities have stepped out of the shadows to close a mysterious deal involving a major stake in Ping An Insurance Co.
The unusual collection of financiers backed by Ping An PNGAY, -2.70% 2318, -0.47% 601318, +3.19% executives for their hands-off promises emerged a few weeks after London-based HSBC HSBA, +0.51% 0005, +0.56% US:HBC said Dec. 5 it would end its 10-year-old relationship with the insurer — one of China's largest — by selling its entire 15.57% stake for $9.4 billion, or 72.7 billion Hong Kong dollars USDHKD, +0.0013%
Caixin is a Beijing-based media group dedicated to providing high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through periodicals, online and TV/video programs.

The buyers were initially identified as four companies linked to the Thai conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Group (CP) CPF, +0.94% which focuses on agri-business, retail and telecommunications, and was founded by that country's wealthiest individual, Dhanin Chearavanont.
But questions about financing quickly surfaced based on CP's capital position: The company, with total net assets of $9 billion as of 2011, simply couldn't afford the full price without a little help.
CP responded to the chatter by announcing that the deal would receive financial backing from the Hong Kong branch of China Development Bank, a state-owned policy institution, with which the Thai company enjoys a more than 100 billion yuan ($16 billion) USDCNY, -0.1275% line of credit.
Several CDB officials, however, said the bank wasn't involved in the transaction's first tranche for about 3% of Ping An and worth HK$15.2 billion. The payment was made Dec. 7.
Still pending is the second phase of the deal, involving a more than 12% stake. HSBC and Ping An are waiting for a green light from China's insurance regulators. CP Group said CDB Hong Kong will provide part of the finance for the second tranche.
The first payment to HSBC was wired from a CP bank account. A Caixin investigation has found that one-third of the cash, however, came from former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Supplying the rest was a group of mainland investors led by financier Xiao Jianhua.
"CP Group is just helping," an institutional investor told Caixin. In some respects HSBC was like "a disciplinary mother-in-law," but CP "is a completely hands-off boss."
Caixin learned Xiao raised his part of the cash by tapping three, municipal commercial banks in northern China with whom he enjoys close ties: Harbin Bank in Heilongjiang Province, Weifang Bank in Shandong and the Baoshang Bank in Baotou, Inner Mongolia.
But a lawyer representing Xiao released a statement Dec. 23 denying his client was involved in any way with the deal between HSBC and CP.
A CP statement that day in Chinese insisted the transaction and funding arrangements were legal. But the legality issue wasn't mentioned in the English version of the statement.
Seeking allies
Neither CP nor Xiao are strangers to Ping An, as each has been deeply involved in the insurer's employee shareholding vehicles since May.
These vehicles form the backbone of Ping An's financial structure and are in the hands of company management via three holding companies — Xinhaoshi, Jiangnan Shiye and Jingao Shiye. Together, they manage Ping An stock on behalf of employee unions, managers, consultants and a group of insurance agents.
The share-holding structure first rolled out in 1992 has been revamped over the years, and most recently has served as a performance incentive for staffers at all levels including executives. This incentive system is considered key to Ping An's effective business operations.
Ping An shares have been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 2007. A lock-up period for shares floated in the company's initial public offering expired in 2010.
Under pressure from Ping An employees who wanted to sell as soon as the lock-up ended, Xinhaoshi and Jingao have been cashing out over the past two years, opening a way for Xiao's involvement in the company.

CANTON Larry V. Thompson pleaded guilty Tuesday to breaking state law, but insisted a higher calling led him to enter a former General Motors Powertrain site in Massena sixteen months ago and dig up the soil.
I did what I did for right, the Akwesasne man said.
In the Aug. 11, 2011, incident, he drove an excavator onto a 12-acre landfill at the former GM property and began churning up what he believed was contaminated earth as a protest against a decades-old decision to cap the site rather than clean up the toxins beneath.
I have no regrets, Mr. Thompson told St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards before admitting to one count of fourth-degree criminal mischief in response to a plea deal reached in chambers shortly before a trial was set to begin Tuesday morning.
Under the deal, the prosecution agreed to recommend a one-year discharge, in which Mr. Thompson, 58, would face no jail time if he complies with a five-year order of protection barring him from the site, which is owned by the Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response Trust. The trust was created in March 2011 by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to clean up former GM properties prior to redevelopment.
The trust sought $70,000 in damages caused when Mr. Thompson, who lives on adjacent land, drove through a fence and onto the site. St. Lawrence County Assistant District Attorney James Monroe said it was willing to forego restitution in exchange for a deal to keep him off the property.
Mr. Thompson was allowed to remain free on his own recognizance following Tuesdays plea, subject to the condition that he not trespass at the site.
While Judge Richards underscored the possibility that he could still impose prison time when Mr. Thompson returns for sentencing on March 25, the Mohawk man is facing far less severe consequences than looked possible eight months ago, when a grand jury on Feb. 2 indicted him on charges of second-degree criminal mischief, resisting arrest and second-degree reckless endangerment.
When arraigned in February, Mr. Thompson initially refused to enter a plea or recognize the court as having jurisdiction in the case, repeatedly refusing to answer questions about whether he understood the charges against him.
In an April decision, Judge Richards dismissed charges of resisting arrest and reckless endangerment, writing that prosecutors failed to prove Mr. Thompson ever resisted arrest, but that he instead surrendered to officers. Dismissing the reckless endangerment charge, Judge Richards wrote that prosecutors could not prove the soil Mr. Thompson dropped near law enforcement officers was contaminated, and could have been plain topsoil. The judge did uphold the second-degree criminal mischief charge, however, writing that whatever Mr. Thompson may have believed about possible contamination, his actions were not reasonable.
Prior to entering his plea Tuesday, Mr. Thompson spoke for more than five minutes first in the Mohawk language, and then in English about how he never intended to hurt anyone, only that fears of migrating contamination and its ongoing impact on the health of area residents had motivated his actions.
When they made that agreement, it didnt bind me, he said of the controversial 20-year-old cleanup deal that culminated in capping the toxic site.
An exasperated Judge Richards warned Mr. Thompson that he should enter a plea or forfeit the deal and prepare to head to trial after all.
It was my understanding that I would be able to speak, Mr. Thompson replied.
In March, Im going to limit you to 20 minutes, the judge said. You can tell me whatever you want in that 20 minutes.

CLEVELAND -- An Avon Lake woman pleaded guilty Friday to human trafficking and drug trafficking crimes after forcing two women and two teensto have sex for money, law enforcement officials said.
Ashley Onysko, 23, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking and drug trafficking. She is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 14.
Onysko's co-defendant, Jeremy Mack, 37, of Elyria, is awaiting trial.
Between December 2012 and April 9, 2013, Mack and Onysko conspired together to provide heroin to four victims with drugs, including heroin and cocaine and then, after the victims incurred drug debts, used force, threats of force, fraud and coercion to compel them to engage in commercial sex acts.
They did this, in part, by posting photographs the victims on backpage.com on a user account that Mack and Onysko created on Dec. 25, 2012, according to the indictment.
At various times, Mack told and caused others to tell the victims that they needed to engage in commercial sex acts to repay the drug debts.
The victims did, after which she turned over all proceeds to Mack and/or Onysko, according to the indictment.
"This woman helped force teens to have sex for money," said Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. "These activities happen all around us and it's the responsibility of the community and law enforcement to work together to end these crimes."
"The defendants in this case used narcotics to gain control over their victims and forced them to engage in sex acts while lining their own pockets with money," said Stephen D. Anthony, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Cleveland office.
"This is an example of local police and federal law enforcement working together to make our community safer," said Elyria Police Chief Duane Whitely.

always follow washing instructions inside your garment
always hand wash reasonably quickly (5-10 minutes) in cold water and do not leave garments soaking.
make sure the detergent is fully dissolved before submerging your garment. direct contact with any detergent can bleach fabric or weaken fibres
always thoroughly rinse your garment after washing to remove any detergent residue. this will prevent deterioration of fibres.
never soak your garment, immediately line dry after gently squeezing out excess water by rolling in a towel.
dry your gorgeous garment in the shade, our sun is pretty powerful in new zealand and we don't want it to discolour your clothes
don't use pegs! They can leave son delicate and thick fabrics
if you have a stain or mark you want to try and remove, we recommend leaving it to the experts and taking into your local drycleaner for advice.
the dryer will shrink your fabric – don't do it, even for your 'b&b' basics unless stated on the care label
make sure your deodorant, lotions and sprays are completely dry before getting dressed especially sunscreen
never spray perfume (or anything) directly on clothing or jewellery
moochi stands behind you for manufacturing faults but we cannot be held responsible for any other damage to fabric, naturally silks and fancy fabrics are more tricky than basic cottons.
If unsure, take your item to an expert for advice.
the most common stains to remove from handbags are finger marks, but simple regular treatments will stop them from building up into unsightly stained areas.
the kind of cleaning treatment you should use depends as always on the type of leather your bag, garment or shoes are made from. here are a few tips to handbag care...
regularly dust or brush with a soft brush, or wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth.
treatment with proprietary cleaners or polishers should be carried out sticking strictly to the care instruction. never use excessive quantities of any product... the less the better.
once or twice a year the handbag should be wiped with a cloth dampened with white spirit to thoroughly cleanse the leather surface from old and discoloured waxes, etc. it should then be given a very light treatment with a proprietary polish, and finally rubbed up with a soft clean cloth.
patent leather bags
clean with a damp cloth, plus a little neutral detergent if needed.
pigskin leathers should be treated with a silicone preparation to protect them.
minor contamination on all grain leathers can frequently be removed by gentle rubbing with a soft rubber eraser.
brush regularly with a soft suede brush or rub gently with a plastic foam block.
minor stains and marks may be removed with a hard rubber eraser, or by touching up the surface with a fine emery paper.
the leather should retain its colour and appearance if it is regularly treated with an protective aerosol spray product. these make the leather water repellent, and offer protection from grease and dust.
your shoes tell the story of your journey. they look after your feet, and to do that properly you need to care for them properly too. this section looks at caring for grain leather, suede and nubuck shoes.
wearing a pair of shoes on alternate days prolongs their life and helps keep them looking smart and feeling comfortable.
using a good cream or polish is essential to preserve the leather and keep shoes looking good.
clean footwear with a brush or damp cloth before applying a good quality shoe cream or polish of the appropriate colour.
suede shoes can be really hard to maintain, especially if it isn't done on a regular basis or marks are left on the shoes for too long. basically suede leathers don't have a protective finish on them and can soak up stains really easily – if you spill red wine on beige suede shoes you'll certainly know about it!
It is recommended that you purchase a suede cleaner/protectant. in general this isn't a gimmick – it's sound advice since suede's are so easily soiled, and the best way to care for them is to protect them from soiling rather than removing the soiling once it is established!
if you can, it's a good idea to remove mud while it's still moist by gentle scraping with a blunt knife, and then soaking up what's left on the shoe with a wet cloth. keep rinsing the cloth out as you go to stop any dirt being put back onto the suede though! then clean the upper with a nail brush and small amount of water, but do not use any detergents since this may spoil the water resistance of the shoe.
if the shoes have dried with mud on, here a few tips to help you care for your suede shoes :
• scrape off as much mud as possible with a blunt knife.
• wash off the rest with water using a cloth or brush
• allow the shoes to dry in an airy place – not on a radiator!
• brush out any remaining dusts with a suede brush
nubuck shoes can generally be cleaned by wiping with a cloth dipped in slightly soapy warm water. there are also special products for cleaning and protecting nubuck footwear. protection using sprays and foams is crucial to maintaining nubuck shoes.
brushing is always best with a suede brush and a circular motion is recommended. to raise a nap on small stubborn areas you can try rubbing gently with emery paper or using a blunt knife. a quick tip is that brushing when damp is more effective for restoring appearance. you can dampen the suede by holding it 6 inches from a steaming kettle spout.

42 U.S. Code § 1395uu - Payments to promote closing or conversion of underutilized hospital facilities
(a) Transitional allowances; procedures applicable
Any hospital may file an application with the Secretary (in such form and including such data and information as the Secretary may require) for establishment of a transitional allowance under this subchapter with respect to the closing or conversion of an underutilized hospital facility. The Secretary also may establish procedures, consistent with this section, by which a hospital, before undergoing an actual closure or conversion of a hospital facility, can have a determination made as to whether or not it will be eligible for a transitional allowance under this section with respect to such closure or conversion.
(b) Allowable costs as transitional allowances; findings and determinations
If the Secretary finds, after consideration of an application under subsection (a) of this section, that—
(1) the hospital's closure or conversion—
(B) is expected to benefit the program under this subchapter by
(iii) substituting for the underutilized service some other service which is needed in the area, and
(2) in the case of a complete closure of a hospital—
the Secretary may include as an allowable cost in the hospital's reasonable cost (for the purpose of making payments to the hospital under this subchapter) an amount (in this section referred to as a "transitional allowance"), as provided in subsection (c) of this section.
(c) Factors determinative of transitional allowance
(1) Each transitional allowance established shall be reasonably related to the prior or prospective use of the facility involved under this subchapter and shall recognize—
(A) in the case of a facility conversion or closure (other than a complete closure of a hospital)—
(i) in the case of a private nonprofit or local governmental hospital, that portion of the hospital's costs attributable to capital assets of the facility which have been taken into account in determining reasonable cost for purposes of determining the amount of payment to the hospital under this subchapter, and
(2) A transitional allowance shall be for a period (not to exceed 20 years) specified by the Secretary, except that, in the case of a complete closure described in paragraph (1)(B), the Secretary may provide for a lump-sum allowance where the Secretary determines that such a one-time allowance is more efficient and economical.
(3) A transitional allowance shall take effect on a date established by the Secretary, but not earlier than the date of completion of the closure or conversion concerned.
(4) A transitional allowance shall not be considered in applying the limits to costs recognized as reasonable pursuant to the third sentence of subparagraph (A) and subparagraph (L)(i) of section 1395x (v)(1) of this title, or in determining whether the reasonable cost exceeds the customary charges for a service for purposes of determining the amount to be paid to a provider pursuant to sections 1395f (b) and 1395l (a)(2) of this title.
(d) Hearing to review determination
A hospital dissatisfied with a determination of the Secretary on its application under this section may obtain an informal or formal hearing, at the discretion of the Secretary, by filing (in such form and within such time period as the Secretary establishes) a request for such a hearing. The Secretary shall make a final determination on such application within 30 days after the last day of such hearing.

FORT DRUM Because the Samaritan Auxiliary recognizes that health care technology advances quickly, its members have decided the proceeds of its upcoming major fundraiser will benefit further investment in the daVinci Robotic Surgery Program.
Proceeds of the One Night, One Diamond fundraiser from 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. March 23 at the Fort Drum Commons will fund the purchase of more trays of equipment for the hospitals $2.5 million robotics system.
They wanted to have this equipment available to do additional surgeries, said Irene C. Carman, event chairwoman. The turnaround time isnt as quick as other surgeries.
Samaritan spokeswoman Krista A. Kittle said that is because one cart of equipment is shared among participating specialty physicians. More trays of equipment means less wait time between robotic-assisted and other surgeries since different specialties and procedures may require different tools.
Mrs. Carman, wife of Samaritan Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Thomas H. Carman, said that while the auxiliary typically has a hard time selecting an item from the hospitals approved capital budget to fund, choosing to support robotics-assisted surgery was easy. She said that was because robotics is new and exciting to the community.
Not all cases in urology, gynecology, general, thoracic or otolaryngology surgery will require, or be eligible for, assistance of the daVinci system. However, urologist Alejandro R. Rodriguez, director of robotics and minimally invasive surgery, said more than 40 surgical cases have been completed with the daVinci system since November. Since Jan. 1, two surgeries with the system have been scheduled weekly in urology alone, he said.
Weve done all major procedures using robotics, said Dr. Rodriguez, chief of urology and urologic oncology. Its been a total success.
The system allows the physician to perform more precise surgery with smaller incisions and less bleeding. Patients also heal faster.
The hospital also recently acquired a simulator so robotics-trained physicians can practice with the equipment.
Dr. Rodriguez said the cutting-edge technology of the robotics system is now fully equipped at Samaritan, and the 253-member auxiliarys help will further enhance the service.
One Night, One Diamond will feature dining, dancing to music performed by Atlas and a chance to win a half-carat diamond donated by Waterbury Fine Jewelers, Watertown. Guests also may win a two-night getaway donated by Lake Placids Mirror Lake Inn.
Presenting sponsors include Dr. Deborah Norris and her husband, Lawrence; Purcell-Lecesse Construction and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Media sponsors include 7 News WWNY/Fox 28 WNYF and the Watertown Daily Times.
Top sponsors include Coca-Cola Co., F.X. Caprara Car Companies-the Caprara Family, Hancock Estabrook law firm, KeyBank, Pepsi of Watertown, Renzi Foodservice and Waste Management. Dozens of other sponsors also support the event.
Tickets are $150 per couple and should be reserved by March 13. Tickets can be purchased at the gift shop inside the hospital, 830 Washington St.

"Legal tangle" sees Belgian federation suspend action against Johan Bruyneel
Decision to suspend action comes as delays continue over USADA arbitration hearing
Previous News
Next News
The Belgian cycling federation, the KBWB-RLVB, has suspended for now its investigation into former US Postal, Astana and RadioShack-Nissan team manager Johan Bruyneel, citing a "legal tangle."
The organisation's president, Tom Van Damme, confirmed the news to Belgian TV channel Sporza during an interview conducted in Louisville, Kentucky, which hosts the world cyclocross championships this weekend.
Bruyneel had reportedly indicated earlier this month that he was prepared to co-operate with the RLVB in its investigation. He had been due to appear before it yesterday, but that hearing did not take place.
The KBWB-RLVB, which has provisionally suspended Bruyneel's licence, opened its case against him at the request of the UCI in 2010, after Floyd Landis went public with allegations against former US Postal staff including its former manager and Lance Armstrong.
The process is separate to the charges Bruyneel, who lives in London, faces from the United States Anti Doping Agency and which he has decided to fight through arbitration.
Originally, USADA said that the hearing on those charges would take place in November, but nearly three months on there is still no news over when it may be held. We asked USADA for a comment on the reasons for the delay and when the hearing might be held but a USADA spokesperson told us: "At this time we can't comment on any ongoing cases."
Van Damme said that the lack of progress on the other side of the Atlantic hadn't helped the situation.
"We look forward to the next step of USADA. First he [Bruyneel] would be called in November. Then it was December and now we are already in February."
During the interview, Van Damme reaffirmed the national federation's zero tolerance approach to doping but queried whether a truth and reconcilation to uncover past actions was in the best interests of the sport as it looks to move forward.
"You have to handle cases that you can still punish," he maintained.

CANTON - Exploring how the Amish culture has not only survived, but thrived, in a society dominated by cell phones, the Internet and other technology is the focus of a new book coauthored by a Canton woman.
Karen M. Johnson-Weiner, an anthropology professor at SUNY Potsdam who resides at 56 Goodrich St., has spent the past three decades studying Amish communities in the north country and other states. She has written two previous books on the Amish and Mennonites.
The new 500-page hardcover book is titled simply, The Amish, and was written by Mrs. Johnson-Weiner and two other professors who are considered Amish experts, Donald B. Kraybill of Elizabethtown College, Elizabethtown, Pa. and Steven M. Nolt of Goshen College, Goshen, Ind.
The other books I wrote were specialized, Mrs. Johnson-Weiner explained. This is really the most comprehensive book about the Amish. This captures the diversity in the Amish world. We know there are 40 different affiliations in the Amish community.
The book is designed for college classes as well as any reader interested in learning how Amish families continue to practice a 19th-century lifestyle in a hyper modernized world thats constantly evolving.
Its divided into 22 different chapters and features graphs, statistics and a few black and white photographs.
The authors attempt to demonstrate the wide variations between Amish people, largely based on how conservative or progressive they are in accepting modernisms such as cell phones and computers.
The north countrys Amish settlements are among the most conservative, including the Swartzentrubers in the Heuvelton area and the Norfolk group in the northwestern side of St. Lawrence County.
For instance, very progressive Amish groups in Lancaster County, Pa., allow their members to use smart phones and grown vegetables in hydroponic gardens. Some are allowed to work in restaurants, hotels and other worldly employment sites.
At the other extreme you have Amish who wont even talk on a telephone, unless its an emergency, Mrs. Johnson-Weiner said. We explore those differences,
Faced with decisions about technology, Amish church groups are constantly negotiating the boundaries for their individual church groups, according to the book.
Placing restrictions on whats allowed helps the Amish adhere to their tradition of remaining distinct and separate from the dominant modern society.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say you have to drive a horse and buggy and you cant have a car, but theres an appreciation that having a horse and buggy keeps you separate from the world and keeps you focused on the community, Mrs. Johnson-Weiner said. Living unconnected to the electrical grid also reinforces your community.
Although they live in the midst of a high-tech society, the Amish population in North America has swelled from roughly 6,000 people in 1900 to nearly 275,000 in 2012, according to the book. With Amish families typically having many children, the population is expected to double every 20 years.
That growth is reflected in the north country where Amish families from crowded settlements in Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states continue to move here in search of inexpensive land and limited interference from government.
Families that move to Northern New York may want to leave communities that have become too progressive elsewhere.
They see that once modernisms come in they threaten the church, Mrs. Johnson-Weiner said. In coming to New York state, the Amish have made a conservative choice to keep the agrarian lifestyle the focus of their community.
Published by John Hopkins University Press, the book is available at various places including Traditional Arts in Upstate New York, and at St. Lawrence Universitys Brewer Bookstore.
It can also be purchased online at Amazon.com.

Injured Dino player Marcus Santi gets an assist off the field on Aug. 23.
With recent events taking place involving school athlete injuries, principals, athletic directors and other administrators from around Region 12 discussed safety issues among other topics at their monthly meeting on Monday.
The meeting, held in Nephi, brought together representatives from schools including Carbon High, North Sanpete, Juab, Richfield and Payson.
A portion of the meeting focused on a few safety issues with athletes that have affected region schools including Carbon High and North Sanpete. Carbon High Principal Bruce Bean said that a part of the meeting was dedicated to looking into what the region schools can do to have emergency plans in place and what can be done to improve those already in place at schools.
The discussion also focused on an event that took place during a football game between Carbon High and North Sanpete on Sept. 13. During the second quarter of the game, Carbon High linebacker Garrett Blanc was knocked out during a play and was down on the field for several minutes as medical personnel evaluated him. North Sanpete High did not have an ambulance present at the field during the game nor did they have one at the field for the past two seasons, according to North Sanpete Principal Nan Ault.
Ault told the Sun Advocate during a phone interview on Tuesday, Sept. 24 that the school was unable to have an ambulance at the field during games due to the local ambulance association charging high rates that the school district was unable to pay for.
"The cost of having the emergency personnel from our area, who work as volunteers, be at the games was too costly for the district," said Ault.
At the meeting, Bean said Ault and North Sanpete officials said the response time for the ambulance was about 10 minutes from the time it was called to get to the field. Blanc was checked out on the field by a medical doctor, a certified trainer and an EMT from the crowd for a period of time before the decision was then made to call for the ambulance.
The game was delayed while the event, from Blanc being knocked out during the play to him being transported to the hospital by the ambulance, took around 25 minutes total, Bean explained.
Since the game between Carbon and North Sanpete, Ault said the district was able to come to terms with the local ambulance association that will provide an ambulance to be on site for games throughout the rest of the season.
Blanc is doing okay, Bean said, but the event provided an opportunity for school officials around the region to ensure that emergency plans are in place and ready to be put into action if a situation arises.
"It's always good to take a step back and evaluate things, especially the emergency plans," said Bean. "We just want to make sure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to things like this."

This letter is in response to the article printed in the July 24th edition of the Sun Advocate, titled "Hope and Change" written by Robert Warren from East Carbon.
I did some research pertaining to the Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions. Mr. Warren makes it sound as if President Obama, and his staff came up with the idea all on their own. That its all brand new, and Obama is trying to be sneaky about it. This particular government entity came into effect in 1934, then was amended July 26, 1947 by President Truman. It was modified and changed somewhat on April 3, 1984 by President Ronald Reagan. It was also amended on February 28, 2003, and June 26, 2006.
It would be wise to look up the facts pertaining to certain bills signed into law, before going off the deep end and declaring to one and all that the President now has the power to declare martial law and suspend the American way of life.
It is my belief, that the American way of life in the last two centuries has gone down the tubes from apathy, lethargy, as well as a narcissist tendency. In other words that its always someones else's problem. Just leave me alone to do my thing. Only 30 percent of all Americans in the entire United States, voted in the last election. We score 14th in reading, 17th in Science and 25th in Math, worldwide. The countries that are in the top ranking include South Korea, Finland, and Canada Whenever there is a tax cut, the first thing to be cut is education.
During this election campaign we have in the running Mitt Romney, who has off shore hidden bank accounts. Read the article in Vanity Fair, August 2012. He is unwilling to release where his other money is, or if he pays taxes on it. He is linked with Bain Capital, from which he received for the month of June 2012, $2 million.
Quoted from HuffingtonPost.com on July 12 "Bain, a private equity firm, held a stake in the LifeLike Co. until the end of 2001, including during the period in which Romney claimed to have no business involvement with Bain entities. Bain had heavily invested in LifeLike, a company that Romney identified personally as an opportunity, in 1996 and sold its shares in late 2001. His involvement with LifeLike contradicts his assertion that he had no involvement with Bain's business. His testimony is supported by his 2001 Massachusetts State Ethics Commission filing, in which he lists himself as a member of LifeLike's board."
On Thursday The Boston Globe blew a giant hole in Romney's claim that he left the private equity firm in 1999. The Globe reported that Bain's own filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission suggest that Romney remained deeply tied to the company until sometime in 2002.
You think this man is at all concerned about what the working class of America makes? Does he care if they have health insurance, a reliable car, or a roof that doesn't leak. How about the elderly, who want to stay in their own homes, but don't have enough money to fix the plumbing, or have enough to eat?
Romney also outsourced American jobs, (that means he took jobs away from Americans who needed the work) and opened up companies overseas. He is hand in glove with the Koch Brothers, who are billionaires and all for big oil companies, and not having to pay taxes. They have so many loopholes with which their lawyers help them to stash the cash and there are not regulations stopping them.
Quoted from Business Week July 2012, "The larger point here is that Romney's business background was about creating wealth - regardless of the impact it had on American jobs."
An article in MOTHER JONES on July 11, 2012 said "Romney was in command when a company he owned and controlled bought a large stake in a Chinese venture that counted on American companies sending manufacturing - and that means jobs- to China. These days, Romney rails against China for swiping American jobs and proclaims, 'For me, it's all about good jobs for the American people.' But when there was money to be made by acquiring a chunk of a Chinese company that aimed to displace American manufacturing (and American workers) Romney's patriotism did not interfere with the potential for profit."
Go on line and see Romney's views about regulations for large companies, his views pertaining to the poor, or numerous other statements he (or his wife) has made (that all to often need to be smoothed over).Read about the comment about the little people, and he's not talking about midgets.
Quoted from roanoke.com on July 28, 2012. "As F. Scott Fitzgerald might have written, the Romneys are different than you and me. Take Ann Romney for example, the wife of Mitt Romney, the putative GOP presidential nominee. The little people have no right to know about her "family" finances or taxes. Its none of their business, she said on TV Thursday."
Seems to me, Romney will do and say anything to get into the Presidency, so that he has the title of President to tack onto his name. There are far too many gullible people who listen to candidates without checking into what their party really believes in. What has that person done in the past? What are they known for? How many times have they been known to lie, and then come up with, "Well it's politics, everybody does it."
Sadly, on a finally note. There is no chance any longer for one of us, (we're the little people) to aspire to be President of these United States. The Supreme Court made it just fine and dandy for any amount of money to be shelled out when running for the Presidency. It's no holds bar, with no regulations.
Who says you can't buy your way into the White House and get a title.

Video: Justin Verlander's parents on star pitcher's upbringing
(WZZM) -- From the World Series to being honored with the Cy Young and Most Valuable Player awards, Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander has been called one of the greatest pitchers of our generation.
A glimpse of that golden arm was seen early on, tossing a few rocks across the pond with his dad.
"I picked it up threw it as far as I could throw it," says Richard Verlander, Justin's dad. "Justin picked up a rock, threw it all the way across the pond and into some trees. I immediately realized this little guy had a gift"
Richard and Kathy Verlander have written a book about their life raising Justin and his brother Ben. "Rocks Across the Pond" is an inside look at how Justin rose to the level of the Major Leagues. But it's more about parenting.
At an early age, Justin had been labeled as being hyper, too fidgety, and disruptive in class -- but one teacher made a difference.
"She told us one day Justin would harness that energy and put it into something great," says Kathy Verlander. "She just had that feeling. It brings chills to us now."
Justin Verlander's parents can be credited with his humble demeanor.
"There's a certain way to conduct yourself and we never believed that being brash or cocky was acceptable behavior," says Richard. "We taught that to Justin in t-ball. Somebody said, 'Boy you're pretty good.' He got in the car and said, 'I'm good,' and I said, 'Yeah, you are but don't say that around other people'."
One of their proudest moments came when the Detroit Tigers were looking for character witnesses.
"Our neighbor said they didn't have children," says Kathy. "They were elderly. They weren't able to have children. They said if they were ever able to, they'd want them to be just like Justin and Ben. I mean, what more would you want?"
We have more with the Verlanders. You can see the entire interview in the video box on this web page.

Complete with a rich cultural scene, historic neighborhoods, urban appeal, and easy access to four-season outdoor recreation, Spokane supplies a high quality of life.
The WSU Spokane campus, which lies at the heart of a developing University District, houses programs of both WSU Spokane and Eastern Washington University and enjoys a premier location along the Spokane River.
The Local Scene
Downtown Spokane features an eclectic array of buildings and services—from historic gems such as the luxurious Davenport Hotel and the art deco Fox Theater to the 100-acre Riverfront Park complex—that create an urban experience at once charming and exciting.
Here you can take in live performances of rock, rap, reggae, and beyond at the Knitting Factory or relish the artistry of the Spokane Symphony. Intimate downtown venues showcase rising local musicians, while live theater and art galleries abound.
As a regional medical center, Spokane boasts excellent health care providers. The school systems are noticed for their high quality, and Expansion Management Magazine recently named Spokane Public Schools second in the nation among top small metro areas. Local neighborhoods contain a variety of housing options, from downtown lofts to historic homes and affordable apartments.
With everything it has right in town, Spokane is also within an easy drive of Seattle, Portland, British Columbia, and the scenic playgrounds of north Idaho and western Montana.
Near Nature, Near Perfect
Spokane serves as the perfect jumping-off point for first-class recreation among the region's many lakes and rivers, national forests, ski resorts, and trails.
The Spokane River, located in the heart of the city and described as "the best kept urban secret in the United States today," runs right beside our campus. Bordering the river is the Centennial Trail, which supplies miles of trail for walking, bicycling, and blading; just west of the downtown core is a developing whitewater park.
The fun doesn't stop at the river's edge. Eight golf courses in the county and another six within an easy drive make Spokane a golfer's dream. The city annually hosts Hoopfest, the largest 3-on-3 street basketball tournament in the U.S., and Bloomsday, one of America's largest timed road races. From climbing walls to laser tag to cycling clubs, Spokane has outlets for your energy.
Is there a better place to live? Not according to RelocateAmerica. Spokane placed among its Top 100 Places to Live for 2010, as well as being named on NBC's Today Show as one of the Five Most Affordable Cities in America.
