Online Prostate Cancer Patient Tracking Database Launches ...

By Alan, on October 25th, 2012

Stuart Holden (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center)

An online database to help men track the progression of their prostate cancer started yesterday to help patients avoid complications from overtreatment. The new program is part of the National Proactive Surveillance Network, a joint project of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

The database aims to enable men diagnosed with slow-growing forms of the disease to track their disease in a Web-based patient portal. Stuart Holden, director of the Cedars-Sinai prostate cancer center (pictured left), says ?as many as 50 percent of newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients have a form of the disease that is so slow-growing that it often does not pose a threat to the life or long term health of the patient.? In this situation, patients often chose immediate and aggressive treatment, says Holden, but this kind of treatment can lead to in complications such as impotence and incontinence, diminishing quality of life while not increasing the patient?s lifespan.

Many physicians are now recommending an alternative proactive surveillance option, where patients thought to have early-stage or slow-growing forms of the disease are closely monitored, which is the goal of the National Proactive Surveillance Network?s tracking database. Patients joining this network will have annual prostate biopsies, answer lifestyle and nutrition questionnaires, and record their medical histories. The database would track changes in their disease, allowing patients to decide if and when they need to change the course of their treatment.

This network?s organizers say it is the first comprehensive clinical data and tissue collection from a group of men with early-stage, low-volume prostate cancer. Data collected by the network will be kept anonymous, to protect patient privacy, while still allowing researchers to analyze trends as well as patient commonalities and differences.

Researchers will be able to examine and test the tissue to discover changes that indicate if patients have slow- or fast-growing forms of prostate cancer. Patient samples, including biopsy tissue, blood, and urine, also will be collected and analyzed at two locations ? Johns Hopkins Medicine on the east coast and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the west ? and made available for future prostate cancer studies.

?This database will eventually give us a better way to predict which men benefit from treatment,? says Holden, ?and which men will not be harmed by choosing to defer treatment.?

Major storm threat for East Coast early next week

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Much of the U.S. East Coast has a good chance of getting blasted by gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and maybe even snow early next week by an unusual hybrid of hurricane and winter storm, federal and private forecasters say.

Though still projecting several days ahead of Halloween week, the computer models are spooking meteorologists. Government scientists said Wednesday the storm has a 70 percent chance of smacking the Northeast and mid-Atlantic.

Hurricane Sandy in the Caribbean, an early winter storm in the West, and a blast of arctic air from the North are predicted to collide, sloshing and parking over the country's most populous coastal corridor starting Sunday. The worst of it should peak early Tuesday, but it will stretch into midweek, forecasters say.

"It'll be a rough couple days from Hatteras up to Cape Cod," said forecaster Jim Cisco of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration prediction center in College Park, Md. "We don't have many modern precedents for what the models are suggesting."

It is likely to hit during a full moon when tides are near their highest, increasing coastal flooding potential, NOAA forecasts warn. And with some trees still leafy and the potential for snow, power outages could last to Election Day, some meteorologists fear. They say it has all the earmarks of a billion-dollar storm.

Some have compared it to the so-called Perfect Storm that struck off the coast of New England in 1991, but Cisco said that one didn't hit as populated an area and is not comparable to what the East Coast may be facing. Nor is it like last year's Halloween storm, which was merely an early snowstorm in the Northeast.

This has much more mess potential because it is a combination of different storm types that could produce a real whopper of weather problems, meteorologists say.

"The Perfect Storm only did $200 million of damage and I'm thinking a billion," said Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the private service Weather Underground. "Yeah, it will be worse."

But this is several days in advance, when weather forecasts are far less accurate. The National Hurricane Center only predicts five days in advance, and on Wednesday their forecasts had what's left of Sandy off the North Carolina coast on Monday. But the hurricane center's chief hurricane specialist, James Franklin, said the threat keeps increasing for "a major impact in the Northeast, New York area. In fact it would be such a big storm that it would affect all of the Northeast."

The forecasts keep getting gloomier and more convincing with every day, several experts said.

Cisco said the chance of the storm smacking the East jumped from 60 percent to 70 percent on Wednesday. Masters was somewhat skeptical on Tuesday, giving the storm scenario just a 40 percent likelihood, but on Wednesday he also upped that to 70 percent. The remaining computer models that previously hadn't shown the merger and mega-storm formation now predict a similar scenario.

The biggest question mark is snow, and that depends on where the remnants of Sandy turn inland. The computer model that has been leading the pack in predicting the hybrid storm has it hitting around Delaware. But another model has the storm hitting closer to Maine. If it hits Delaware, the chances of snow increase in that region. If it hits farther north, chances for snow in the mid-Atlantic and even up to New York are lessened, Masters said.

NOAA's Cisco said he could see the equivalent of several inches of snow or rain in the mid-Atlantic, depending on where the storm ends up. In the mountains, snow may be measured in feet instead of inches.

Panasonic to reduce much of mobile phone business: Nikkei

(Reuters) - Panasonic Corp will slash a significant portion of its mobile phone business as it struggles to make headway in the global smartphone market, dominated by Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co , the Nikkei said.

Panasonic, which sells mobile handsets in Europe and Japan, has been facing sluggish sales in Europe. It will close its mobile phone operations in the region as early as fiscal 2012, the Japanese business daily reported.

Domestic cell phone sales are also struggling because the firm lagged behind rivals in releasing smart phones, the daily said.

Panasonic will consider selling the Japanese cellphone business or forming a partnership with another company, it added.

The company has already begun restructuring its business by shutting down its domestic cell phone factory in Shizuoka Prefecture and moving production to Malaysia, the Nikkei said.

The company sold 5 million smart phones and generated some 130 billion yen ($1.62 billion) in sales from the mobile phone business in fiscal 2011.

The total cost of restructuring the business segment may total 100 billion yen, the Nikkei said.

As of July, Panasonic projected a net profit of 50 billion yen for the current year through March, a turnaround from the previous year's net loss of some 770 billion yen, it added. ($1 = 80.1650 Japanese yen)

Sharing space: Proximity breeds collaboration

ScienceDaily (Oct. 25, 2012) ? A new University of Michigan study shows that when researchers share a building, and especially a floor, the likelihood of forming new collaborations and obtaining funding increases dramatically.

The findings have wide relevance to corporations, as well.

"Our analyses clearly show that there are benefits to co-location," said Jason Owen-Smith, an associate professor of sociology and organizational studies.

Researchers who occupy the same building are 33 percent more likely to form new collaborations than researchers who occupy different buildings, and scientists who occupy the same floor are 57 percent more likely to form new collaborations than investigators who occupy different buildings, he said.

Owen-Smith is the lead author of a report titled "A Tale of Two Buildings: Socio-Spatial Significance in Innovation." The report details the findings of a two-year study funded by the U-M Office of the Vice President for Research, the U-M Institute for Social Research (ISR), and the U-M Medical School.

For the study, the research team conducted surveys of 172 faculty and research staff members in three U-M buildings, and also used administrative data to assess collaboration and physical proximity. The buildings were the North Campus Research Complex (NCRC), the A. Alfred Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building and the Comprehensive Cancer Center.

"One of the truly distinctive features of the University of Michigan is the exceptionally low barrier to doing interdisciplinary research," said Stephen Forrest, U-M vice president for research. "This study gives insights into the benefits that such research brings and how interdisciplinarity, which is now at the forefront of scientific inquiry, is supported by such hubs as the North Campus Research Complex that brings researchers from many different disciplines into contact."

"This study comes at an opportune moment when the NCRC is still an experiment-in-progress of larger scale collaborative research," said David Canter, NCRC executive director. "The conclusions from this study are a reminder that a one-size-fits-all approach is not an optimal approach. Group dynamics and the benefits of chance interactions influence productivity and innovative ideas."

"This kind of rigorous social science research is very much in the ISR tradition," said James S. Jackson, director of ISR. "Similar principles were used by the ISR founders in designing the 1965 ISR building. We invested in this study in order to assist the NCRC but also to inform our decisions about how the new addition to the ISR-Thompson building, now under construction, can maximize interdisciplinary collaborations and success in achieving funding for research from a variety of external sources."

The study, which is the most extensive attempt to date to elucidate the socio-spatial dynamics of successful scientific research collaborations, tests assumptions about proximity and social networks that have stood unexamined for half a century.

One of these assumptions is that passive contacts between inhabitants of a building -- just bumping into people as you go about your daily business -- makes it more likely that you'll share ideas and eventually engage in formal collaborations. This assumption is based on the work of ISR researcher Leon Festinger, who studied the friendships that developed among dormitory residents in the 1950s.

Owen-Smith and colleagues examined the relationship between office and lab proximity and walking patterns, and found that linear distance between offices was less important than overlap in daily walking paths. They developed the concept of zonal overlap as a way to operationalize Festinger's idea of passive contact.

"We looked at how much overlap existed for any two researchers moving between lab space, office space, and the nearest bathroom and elevator," Owen-Smith said. "And we found that net of the distance between their offices, for every 100 feet of zonal overlap, collaborations increased by 20 percent and grant funding increased between 21 and 30 percent."

Owen-Smith and colleagues also found that the likelihood of passive contacts can be more simply assessed by using a measure of "door passing" -- whether one investigator's work path passes by another's office door.

The analysis also showed the research groups studied were more likely to report unscheduled, impromptu encounters rather than scheduled meetings, and that most communication took place face-to-face rather than through electronic means. But this tendency varied among groups.

Other members of the study team are U-M researchers Felichism Kabo, Margaret Levenstein, Richard Price, Gerald Davis, Yongha Hwang and Natalie Cotton Nessler.

Comet Ridge Drills Gunn 2 Well, Australia>> LNG World News

Brisbane-based coal seam gas explorer Comet Ridge Limited announced that the first well in its three-well drilling campaign in the Galilee Basin has been successfully drilled and tested in ATP 744P in the Galilee Basin, central Queensland, with the rig released on 22 October 2012.

Comet Ridge holds 100 per cent equity in ATP 744P.

The Gunn 2 well is located 93 km NNW of Aramac and 576 km WNW of Gladstone. The well was spudded on 10 October 2012 and reached a total depth of 1,050 metres. A total net coal thickness of 16.2 metres was intersected in the Permian Betts Creek Beds with five potential reservoir coals contained in this interval.

After wireline logging was conducted, a formation scanner was run to identify natural fractures in the coals. Wireline conveyed testing tools were then used to flow test four separate coal intervals in the Betts Creek Beds, including two coal intervals in the base of the section that had previously not been tested in the Gunn Project Area.

All four coal intervals tested demonstrated good to excellent productivity.

Seven-inch diameter production casing has been run and cemented in place and the well will be completed for production in early November with production tubing and a pump to be installed.

Managing Director, Tor McCaul, said he and the Comet Ridge technical team were extremely pleased with the productivity of the coals in this well. Mr McCaul also said that the well flags an important milestone for the Company, as the first production well for Comet Ridge in the Galilee Basin.

He commented, ?Our forward plan, as outlined in the recent capital raising presentation in August, is to complete this well for production and then to conduct an Extended Production Test (EPT). This single well EPT is a significant step, ahead of our planned pilot scheme. The EPT on Gunn 2 will give us good quality water data and enable us to critically assess our completion methodology. These will be key inputs for designing our full pilot production scheme next year with the objective of starting to move our significant Contingent Resources over to Reserves.?

The rig will now move southeast to drill Schmitt 1, followed by Cernan 1, as Phase 1 of the farm-in to the Lake Galilee Farm-in Area (in ATP 1015P), announced in July 2012 (see map on page following). These two wells will be cored to measure key coal properties and whilst wireline conveyed testing tools may be utilised to examine coal productivity, there are no current plans for Extended Production Tests on these two wells.

Your Official Job-Application Checklist - Education for the 21st Century

October 21, 2012

?

It follows that obsessiveness is a good quality in applicants for tenure-track positions. Most fields (although not all subfields) are buyers? markets. With hundreds of candidates?many of them highly qualified?for one position in, say, 20th-century American literature, harried committees are often looking for some way to narrow the pool. A missing item (like Page 2 of your teaching-philosophy statement), a late upload (because you put off doing it until the midnight of the deadline and your hard drive crashed), or even a typo on the sixth paragraph of your cover letter may get you passed up before you?re even fully considered.

So details matter. All the more reason to get the materials and the procedures right.

Create a system; follow it. One of my doctoral advisees is seeking a tenure-track position?he?s amazing, by the way; please hire him!?and has shown the true diligence of the professional. He has constructed an Excel chart to help him keep track of the openings, the required materials for each, references, deadlines, keywords in the job profile, and so on. While it took him some time to put together and will require updating, the chart will help him avoid the ?What is that deadline again?? problem.

Follow his lead: Create some sort of system that will help you know the who, what, where, and when of the hunt. Allow some boxes for ?extra? or ?other? to annotate details native to a particular search, such as a page-length limit on a cover letter.

Note any new developments, such as when your references confirm they have sent off your letters of recommendation, and check them off as they occur. Include a box for ?connections? to fill in with any information about faculty members at the hiring department?especially the search chair or committee members. If you used one of their books when you were working as a TA, for instance, you might want to make a note of that and mention it if you get an interview.

Scan the chart at least once a week to make sure you aren?t missing any coming deadlines.

The CV as introduction to you. Faculty members are busy, and even something as important as a new hire will not get everyone?s deep, undivided, thoughtful inspection. That?s why some materials are more important than others in capturing the committee?s attention, with the CV and the cover letter (more on that later) perhaps tied for No. 1.

The CV is the most accessible document you will send in: A committee can glance over it a lot more easily than a teaching-philosophy statement or a sample of one of your publications.

The first page of the CV may even be the make-or-break initial filter of whether you fit the position profile. Just looking at your dissertation title may excite one committee and persuade another to stop reading. If you are applying for a job in a particular subfield, and your dissertation and advisers are obviously in another, the searchers may simply view that as a look-no-further indicator of ?not right for the position.?

So what can you do? Certain information is required on every CV, but you can reorganize it for different positions to emphasize areas in which you fit well with the job description at hand. If you are applying for a job at a teaching-oriented college, for example, your classroom experience should be prominent on your vita.

Don?t be afraid to annotate as well where an item on your CV may require additional explanation. Case in point: The dissertation title may not mention a subfield sought by the hiring department, but what if half the chapters of your thesis do? An italicized note elucidating that connection would help. Likewise, if a journal you?ve written for is obscure but has a high impact factor, let the reader know.

Another CV challenge involves which information to leave off. Perhaps you?re applying for a specialized position. Should you delete a few of your publications in unrelated areas to avoid confusion? Maybe, since you are trying to tell the committee that you are focused on what it says it wants. In addition, a CV can look ?stretched? if you include items that seem minor or unrelated?hobbies, marital status, talks at book clubs, and such.

Perhaps the most controversial item to remove from a CV is the dissertation?s year of issue, in the case of an older candidate whose Ph.D has, to use the horrific terminology, ?passed its freshness date.? Yes, age discrimination is illegal even when masked by a request for a ?recent degree,? and dismissing great candidates because they have been adjuncting for three years in a very tough job market is hardly ethical.

Yet it happens a lot, or it would not be talked about so much. Here you have to make your own call. However, the date of dissertation is so common an item on a CV that leaving it off seems to be a clear signal to the committee that you, or your degree, are not fresh off the vine.

Letter of application. The second document that a committee is likely to read completely, or at least peruse, is the cover letter. Here, compared with your CV, you are allowed immensely more freedom of content, style, and tone?but all the choices may daunt you.

Best to begin by determining what you are not going to write. An application letter is not an autobiography, an encyclopedia of your accomplishments, or a cry for help. Think of it instead as a short (no more than two single-spaced pages), reasoned introduction to the main points of why the search committee, and, subsequently, the faculty and relevant administrators, should consider you for at least the next step of an interview.

Begin by taking hints from the people who will decide your fate. Carefully read the job ad to uncover four or five required and preferred characteristics for the position. For example, the department will probably mention a particular subfield. An ad might also include notations like, ?We are looking for someone to teach classes in ?social media and health? and ?introduction to strategic communication campaigns,?? or to take particular methodological approaches. Highlight those keywords?and enter them on the job chart you?ve created. Make sure your cover letter exactly answers how you fit each characteristic.

Cover letters do not have a standard format, and they would be painful to read if they did. But incorporating your skills, talents, and achievements as well as philosophy and outlook into the categories that a search committee has provided is the best way to organize a letter. That doesn?t mean that you can?t add further talking points, such as some relevant technical, intellectual, or experiential skill. A personal touch?mentioning how much (and why) you like the prospect of teaching at this kind of institution or living in the area?can?t hurt so long as it is sincere and specific, not forced and generic.

Be positive in the style and tone of your letter. Never complain about your current situation. You are auditioning to be not just a researcher or teacher but also a colleague, so sound like you will be a good one. Don?t simply list your solo achievements; offer some examples of your cooperation with or service to others.

A cover letter is rarely a good place to deal with problems. Perhaps you received below-average ratings from students for a class you taught by yourself. Consider asking your references to offer context. Your adviser, for example, might explain that the below-par evaluations were the result of your teaching a tough, ?eat-your-peas? skills class that was undergoing a content revision. She might then add how you worked hard to learn from the experience and have greatly improved as a teacher.

Similarly, be careful about overcongratulating yourself. If you are applying for a research-heavy position and you have already published quite a bit, don?t actually say things like, ?I am the most published graduate student I know!? Rather feature your publications list up high in your CV, mention them in your letter, but leave the effusive praise to your references. Instead of sounding like a prima donna, you will seem a star in the making.

References. I have written several columns already about choosing good references for an application. You want to make sure they are not, by error or intention, actually ?unrecommending? you for the job, nor should they be so over-the-top that they are not taken seriously.

Here I want to restrict myself to the actual selection of your references. First, you don?t want a reference list that looks like you?re trying to avoid something or somebody. Listing three assistant professors, for example, is problematic because (a) they are much less likely to have longstanding personal connections in your field; (b) they are unlikely to be ?names? that might lend you some of their prestige; and (c) their uniform selection may prompt the search committee to ask, ?Didn?t this candidate impress anyone on the senior faculty??

So balance the roster. Your adviser is almost a requirement. But other supporters can include those who are familiar with different parts of your expertise. Not every reference letter can or should be identical. For a mixed position of teaching, research, and service, you might have one of the standard troika write about your excellence in research, another about your classroom skills, and a third talk up what a great colleague you?ve been.

Others to include? Your department chair may not have supervised you or sat on your committee but can testify to your professionalism and good citizenship. (Note: The head of the search committee may call your chair anyway.) Consider listing outsiders as well, such as professors you have impressed at other colleges.

Your teaching philosophy. No item in an academic-job application is as puzzled over and even derided as the teaching-philosophy statement. There is nothing wrong with the idea per se; it is important that you be able to articulate why you do what you do in the classroom.

Perhaps the problem is the word ?philosophy.? It forces people to think they must sound lofty, high-minded, and altruistic. I prefer to call the document a ?teaching statement.? In it, I would rather read an explanation of your practical approaches to teaching, an annotated description of your experience, and, perhaps most important, your attitudes toward the craft through the observations you have made and lessons you have learned.

You?ve probably taught or been a TA in at least one course that did not have great results or strong student-evaluation scores. Here is an opportunity to show how you ?course correct? versus showing how correct your courses have been. Talk about the problem student in that course, the time you realized your lecture had turned out to be incomprehensible, the discussion section from hell. Then describe how you bounced back, learned from the experience, and did it better thereafter.?Good teachers, as other good teachers realize, are constantly adapting. No one gets it right every time and certainly not the first time.

Review, proof, and check off. You may never hear if your application packet suffered from a small or epic fail of logistics. A kindhearted search chair may call you to say that Page 2 of your CV is missing, or she may toss your application aside and proceed to the next one. Almost nobody will call you to tell you that you forgot to proofread your teaching statement.

So look things over several times. Have a trusted and literate friend do the same?perhaps you can trade off the duties. That advice may seem self-evident but we all make mistakes in the rush of any major project. Also, check off on your job chart any application that is ready to go.

Getting all of the required materials done correctly and promptly will not necessarily get you the position, but the effort will allow you to leap the first hurdle toward being considered for it.

That said, this is 2012. We are in the third decade of the public Internet. Along with the official application materials comes the much hazier world of what search committees learn about you from the Web. How not to be embarrassed by?and instead prosper from?the unofficial materials of the job search will be the focus of my next column.

CleanMyPC

There are numerous utilities designed to whip your computer back into tip-top condition after a fragmented hard drive, junk files, and registry issues slows system performance?CleanMyPC is one of them. The $39.99 utility does a decent job of whipping worn PCs back into shape, but its license limitation?the price tag covers just one PC!?will make other apps such as Comodo System Utilities, Iolo System Mechanic 11?, and SlimWare Utilities SlimCleaner?more attractive.

The Basics
The Windows 8 and Windows 7-compatible CleanMyPC features a soft, attractive blue-and-white interface. It's very simply designed; the left column houses My Computer, Hibernation, Registry Maintenance, Complete Uninstall, Gadgets & Extensions Manager, Autorun, Privacy Guard, and Secure Erase tools. They are designed to free up hard drive space, safeguard your privacy, and repair the registry?the source of many a Windows problem.

A minute or so after I clicked the scan icon in the main screen, CleanMyPC revealed several GB of "unneeded data." Unlike SlimWare SlimCleaner Utilities, CleanMyPC didn't serve up detailed listings of what needed to go. It did, however, reveal how much free space it freed up and what I could do with it. 1.9GB of space, for example, is enough room to store 400 MP3s tracks or 1,000 photos.

Performance Improvements
I tested CleanMyPC's ability to whip a PC back into shape by performing two tests?running the Geekbench system performance tool and measuring boot times?before and after running the software. I ran each test three times and averaged the results. CleanMyPC scrubbed the system (a 2-GHz Intel Core i7 X990 Style-Note notebook with 4GB of RAM, and an 80GB Intel SSD drive) to achieve a 5,914 Geekbench score and 50.3 seconds boot time.

My testbeds performance improved after I ran CleanMyPC. The GeekBench score rose to 6,454 (which beat Iolo System Mechanic 11 by two points to take the crown) and the boot time decreased to 39.4 seconds (which placed middle of the road, and eight seconds behind Iolo System Mechanic 11). Check out our chart for to see how CleanMyPC fared against competing products.

Those numbers wouldn't mean much if it didn't translate into user-noticeable improvements?fortunately, it does. Windows and menus opened with extra pep that wasn't present when the machine was junked up. So did heavy-duty apps like iTunes. Still, I wished for an overall faster system boot.

CleanMyPC's biggest issue isn't performance, but price. The $39.99 price tag grants you just one license. Comodo System Utilities (free), Iolo System Mechanic 11 ($49.99), and SlimCleaner (free) have no such limitations?you can install the software on as many PCs as you wish. CleanMyPC offers two license ($59.99) and five license ($99.95) tiers, but they're pricey. If you live in a multi-PC home, you may want to look elsewhere.

Should You Use CleanMyPC To Clean Up Your PC?
CleanMyPC delivered the best GeekBench performance of all the tune-up utilities tested (beating Iolo System Mechanic 11 by a couple of points), but it drops the ball in terms of license limitations and it's boot time improvement isn't the best. If you need to tune-up just one PC CleanMyPC is worth a consideration, but Iolo System Mechanic 11 and SlimWare Utilities Slimcleaner are better all-around choices.

Aussies avoid iPad Mini price gouge

Apple has lifted the curtains on the iPad Mini, along with upgrades to older product lines, with reasonably similar pricing between Australia and the US.

At a launch event in the US overnight, the electronics giant announced that the 7.9-inch iPad Mini Wi-Fi-only model will begin shipping from November 2, with a 4G long-term evolution (LTE) version to come later. The iPad Mini is half as light as the third-generation iPad, and features Apple's new A5 chip.

The fourth-generation iPad, which has added support for more 4G LTE spectrum bands, was also unveiled at launch, and has the same release dates as the iPad Mini Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + mobile versions.

The LTE models of both devices will be compatible with the 4G LTE networks in Australia.

Having recently been called out in the IT pricing enquiry in Australia for overcharging local customers for electronic goods, Apple's pricing for the iPad Mini and fourth-generation iPad in Australia and the US are rather similar. That's not particularly surprising, given that the third-generation iPad pricing between the two countries was on par when the device was released earlier this year, but the company may be forced to appear at an IT pricing enquiry parliamentary hearing in the near future.

It's worth noting that Australian pricing includes GST, whereas US pricing does not include the various states' sales taxes. Australia's currency exchange rate, at present, is also higher than the US' exchange rate.

?	US price	Australian price
16GB iPad Mini Wi-Fi only	US$329	AU$369
32GB iPad Mini Wi-Fi only	US$429	AU$479
64GB iPad Mini Wi-Fi only	US$529	AU$589

?	US price	Australian price
16GB fourth-generation iPad Wi-Fi only	US$499	AU$539
32GB fourth-generation iPad Wi-Fi only	US$599	AU$649
64GB fourth-generation iPad Wi-Fi only	US$699	AU$759

Microsoft has also been careful with its Surface tablet pricing in Australia, aligning it more with US pricing.

Apple will begin taking pre-orders on Friday, 26 October, for the iPad Mini and fourth-generation iPad Wi-Fi-only versions.

Upgraded iterations of the Apple iMac and MacBook were announced at the launch event as well.

Third-party presidential debate gives a voice to long-shot candidates

Four third-party candidates below President Obama and Mitt Romney on the presidential ballot made their case to a televised audience, taking on issues not included in the mainstream debates: the drug war, bailout for student loans, and corporate influence in politics.

By David Grant,?Staff writer / October 24, 2012

If the four long-shot presidential contenders are ?kind of Don Quixotes,? as debate moderator Larry King put it, then at least on Tuesday night their windmill jousting would be televised.

Those who saw Jill Stein (Green Party), Rocky Anderson (Justice Party), Virgil Goode (Constitution Party), and Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party) square off at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Chicago on C-SPAN or streamed online got a glimpse of the little-known contenders below President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney on the ballot in many states.

What the public saw was broad agreement on issues ranging from the war on drugs (end it) to the future of American military spending (reduce it), as well as a handful of proposals from each candidate that stand in stark relief to the policies of either Mr. Obama or Mr. Romney.

The debate, supported by the Free and Equal Elections Foundation and moderated by Mr. King and the foundation?s Christina Tobin, offered an opportunity for the little-known candidates to make their cases to the public in a forum that was ?good and real and honest and open, without debate contracts and private interests,? as Ms. Tobin put it.

Whether by their near-zero polling numbers or the strictures of a two-party political system, these candidates were shut out of the more heavily watched debates between Obama and Romney. (Mr. Johnson garnered enough support to be included in a single candidates' debate during the GOP primary process, however.)

The candidates found plenty of common ground. All four opposed rules that winnow contenders for public office, saying they are bad for democracy and unnecessarily limit voter choices. All supported reductions in American military spending. All said they would have vetoed the National Defense Authorization Act.

All but Mr. Goode said they would legalize marijuana and end the ?war on drugs.? Goode said he would keep marijuana illegal but would cut spending on drug enforcement as part of his plan to deeply reduce federal spending in his first year in office.

But the candidates did open up some policy proposals sharply different from one another and from the two major-party presidential candidates.

Dr. Stein and Mr. Anderson called for free higher education for all Americans, with Stein pointing out the benefits from the original, post-World War II G.I. bill and Anderson arguing that other industrialized nations have already achieved such a system.

Johnson and Goode ridiculed the sentiment as ignoring the reality of America?s beleaguered fiscal condition.

? ?Free? comes with a cost,? Johnson said. ? ?Free? is accumulating more to the $16 trillion in debt than we already have. ?Free? has gotten us to the point where we are going to have a monetary collapse.?

When asked to offer one constitutional amendment they would most like to see passed, the candidates again diverged. Anderson argued for a ?new Equal Rights Amendment? enshrining protection from discrimination on the basis of gender and sexual orientation.

Johnson and Goode said they would push for term limits for Congress ? something they say would keep members focused on achievement instead of political longevity.

Carter: Israel not committed to two-state solution

JERUSALEM (Reuters) -- Former US President Jimmy Carter on Monday said the Israeli-Palestinian peace process had reached a crisis point and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government was not pursuing a two-state solution.

"That policy of promoting a two-state solution seems to be abandoned now and we are deeply concerned about this move towards this catastrophic so-called one-state choice ... this is a major concern," Carter told a news conference.

Carter helped forge Israel's peace deal with Egypt in 1979, the first between Tel Aviv and an Arab country but has been a strong critic of Israeli settlement policy in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

"Every (Israeli) prime minister that I have known has been a pursuer of the two-state solution and I don't know that (US President Barack) Obama has found that Prime Minister Netanyahu has been willing to go that route," Carter added.

He spoke during a visit along with other members of "The Elders", a group of former world leaders, to Israel, the occupied West Bank and Egypt.

"All indications to us is that this two-state solution has basically been abandoned and we've had a moving forward towards a 'greater Israel' which I think is contrary to the two-state solution concept," Carter said.

Israeli-Palestinian peace talks collapsed in 2010 over Netanyahu's refusal to halt illegal settlement building in the West Bank.

Netanyahu has voiced support for a two-state solution, but has said a future Palestinian country must be demilitarized and accept an Israeli military presence along the Jordan River, its likely eastern frontier.

He has said Israel was willing to make "painful compromises" for peace that require giving up "parts of the ancestral Jewish homeland" but has balked at returning to lines that existed before the 1967 conflict.
