Will election results affect NASA funding?

Predictions say NASA funding is unlikely to rise under either a Democratic or Republican president. However, NASA's priorities under Obama or Romney might be different. ?

The outcome of today's (Nov. 6) presidential election is unlikely to have a profound impact on the future direction of American spaceflight and exploration, experts say.

While Republican candidate Mitt Romney has revealed few details about his?space plans, a Romney Administration probably wouldn't dramatically alter the path NASA is currently pursuing under President Barack Obama, according to some observers.

"There are unlikely, as a result of the election, to be seismic changes," said space policy expert John Logsdon, a professor emeritus at George Washington University.

The status quo

In 2010, President Obama directed NASA to work toward getting astronauts to a near-Earth asteroid by 2025, then on to the vicinity of Mars by the mid-2030s. [Gallery: President Obama and NASA]

To reach these deep-space destinations, the agency is developing a huge rocket called the?Space Launch System?and a crew capsule called Orion. NASA hopes the SLS-Orion combo will begin launching astronauts by late 2021.

The Obama Administration has also encouraged NASA to hand over crew and cargo activities in low-Earth orbit (LEO) to private American companies. The aim is to fill the void left by the 2011 retirement of the?space shuttle program, which was set in motion by President George W. Bush back in 2004.

NASA has doled out a total of $1.4 billion in the past two years to firms developing crewed vehicles. The agency wants at least two crewed commercial spaceships to be up and running by 2017; until then, the United States will remain dependent on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to provide this orbital taxi service.

The progress has been faster on the cargo front, with California-based SpaceX completing the first of 12 contracted supply flights to the International Space Station with its?robotic Dragon capsule?last month. NASA has also inked a resupply deal with Virginia-based Orbital Sciences Corp., which aims to launch a demonstration mission to the orbiting lab in the coming months.

Wall Street to Washington: Time to compromise on fiscal cliff

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Investors are looking for a compromise to keep the U.S. economy from sailing over the fiscal cliff. It's just not clear that the politicians in Washington are ready to deliver one.

With $600 billion in tax increases and automatic spending cuts due to take effect in January, investors say they would welcome an agreement that delays most changes until Congress can hammer out a long-term deficit reduction deal in early 2013.

"At the very least, I would like to see some kind of conciliatory rhetoric on both sides of the aisle to give investors assurance that a grand deal is coming," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank.

Without that, things could get ugly in markets. U.S. stocks accelerated a recent losing streak in the days following this week's election, in which voters returned President Barack Obama to the White House but left Republicans in command of the House of Representatives and Democrats controlling the Senate. That same combination dragged out long negotiations over raising the debt ceiling in August 2011.

In President Obama's first public statement since the election on Friday, he reiterated his demand to raise taxes on high earners. Earlier in the day, Republican House Speaker John Boehner restated his opposition to such a move.

"What that means is that fiscal cliff negotiations are picking up exactly where they left off," said Ward McCarthy, chief financial economist at Jefferies & Co. "Fasten your seat belt, it will be a bumpy end of the year in Washington."

A majority of economists polled by Reuters said consumer and business confidence would wilt and the economy suffer if talks to head off the budget crisis collapse.

The Congressional Budget Office has warned that sailing over the cliff would trigger "a significant recession" and the loss of about 2 million jobs.

NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER

Worries about the danger the fiscal crisis poses for the U.S. economy put global stocks on track for their worst week since June.

The main sticking point is taxes: Obama wants to raise rates on households earning more than $250,000 while Republicans want to focus on spending cuts, saying tax hikes would hurt growth.

On Friday, it did not seem either side was ready to give in. Obama said he was "open to compromise" but said a majority of voters agreed with having the wealthiest Americans pay more.

Boehner restated his opposition to raising taxes on the rich, saying it would depress hiring and growth.

In 2011, a similarly divided government's failure to agree on deficit reduction set up the fiscal cliff showdown the economy now faces.

It also provoked Standard & Poor's to strip the United States of its coveted AAA credit rating and pushed the CBOE Volatility Index, Wall Street's gauge of investor anxiety, to levels associated with panic.

As Congress has punted on the hard decisions, the numbers have hardly changed: Federal red ink is expected to be more than $1 trillion in 2012 for the fourth straight year.

James Dailey, portfolio manager at TEAM Asset Strategy Fund in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, worries that investors who were complacent about the risks before the election may rush for the exit if it seems the economy is going to fall over the cliff.

"When the market starts to sell, it feeds upon fear and accelerates the sell-off," he said.

REASON TO HOPE

The issue is of such concern to investors because the U.S. economy has outperformed other developed economies and has shown signs of improving further. Recent U.S. economic data, including a survey showing consumer confidence hit a five-year high this month, has been encouraging.

"There's a lot at stake, and there's a lot of momentum that could be lost if lawmakers don't get their act together," said Joe Manimbo, analyst at Western Union Business Solutions.

Some are hopeful a deal can still be reached.

The CBO said this week that letting income tax rates rise for households earning more than $250,000 - a staple of Obama's re-election campaign - would have little impact on the economy. Not all investors disagree, as some interviewed in recent weeks said they would be willing to pay more taxes if it helped balance the country's budget.

Some, like Vassili Serebriakov, a currency strategist at BNP Paribas, also said a deal could prove easier to reach now that Obama is no longer running for re-election.

"Of course, we need to see evidence that the negotiating positions have changed," he said.

Serebriakov also said investors may be fooling themselves if they think the market will rally strongly between now and year end, regardless of what happens with the fiscal cliff.

"It's the end of the year, equities have been under pressure on the back of earnings, and there's just a lot of caution in the market," he said. "It really seems like markets will wait until early 2013 before committing to any particular view."

BEIRUT (AP) ? An activist group says twin explosions in a southern Syrian city have killed and wounded dozens of security troops.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the blasts Saturday in Daraa were caused by two suicide bombers who targeted regime forces in the city.

The group, which relies on a network of activists on the ground, says "dozens" of regime forces were killed and wounded in the near simultaneous explosions.

State-run news agency SANA says the explosions caused multiple casualties and heavy material damage but did not provide further details.

The explosions were followed by clashes between regime forces and rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad.

China Electronics says delays cooperation with Sharp due to islands row

BEIJING (Reuters) - China Electronics Corp has delayed a planned cooperation with Japan's Sharp Corp on production of the world's most advanced LCD panels due to a territorial dispute between the two countries, the chairman of the state-owned firm said on Friday.

The cooperation on the production of the 10th generation LCD panels has already obtained approval from China's top economic planning agency but "has been delayed due to the widely known reason, including the purchase of the islands by the Japanese government," chairman Rui Xiaowu told reporters on the sidelines of the Communist Party Congress in Beijing.

Officials at Sharp declined to comment.

Sharp's former President Mikio Katayama in June last year said that cooperation with China Electronics Corp had stalled because Chinese authorities were only prepared to approve a 10th generation plant rather than the 8th generation facility earlier agreed. Sharp has so far been unwilling to export its most advanced LCD technology.

Japanese car makers have reported a slide in sales in China since mid-September, when Japan's move to nationalize two disputed islands in the East China Sea, known as the Diaoyu in Chinese and the Senkaku in Japanese, triggered violent protests and calls for boycotts of Japanese products across China.

China Electronics and Sharp, the struggling Japanese electronics maker, entered into a partnership in 2009 to jointly produce Sharp's sixth- and eight-generation TFT-LCD panels.

In April, TPV Technology Ltd, a unit of China Electronics, said it would form a joint venture to build China's first 10th generation TFT-LCD factory. It did not disclose where it would acquire the necessary technology for 10th generation LCD panels, which is solely owned by Sharp.

Why Do People With Advanced Cancer Undergo Chemotherapy ...

?Self-deception is a valuable personal coping tool. It allows us to aspire to significance, strive for new knowledge, and yearn to make a lasting contribution to the world despite the certainty of our inevitable end.?

Interesting words, and printed in an interesting place. No, they were not spoken by a post-election apolitical pundit. They are the opening lines to an editorial in the October 25 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, entitled ?Talking with Patients about Dying.? The editorial, by Thomas J. Smith, MD< and Dan L. Longo, MD, accompanies a newly published study, "Patients' Expectations about Effects of Chemotherapy for Advanced Cancer," revealing that a surprisingly high percentage of late-stage colon and lung cancer patients who think chemotherapy could be curative.

The study, by Jane Weeks, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and colleagues (the senior author is Deborah Schrag, also of DFCI), used data from the Cancer Care Outcomes Research and Surveillance (CanCORS) study. In the CanCORS study, about 10,000 cancer patients from five geographic regions diagnosed with lung or colorectal cancer were surveyed on various matters pertaining to their care in order to assess the quality of cancer care and health outcomes in the United States.

Weeks and colleagues honed in on 1,193 participants in the CanCORS study, all of whom had stage IV ? metastatic; terminal ? disease. All of these patients had chosen to receive chemotherapy treatment. Through a survey, the questions were asked about what they believed chemotherapy could accomplish. What was the likelihood that chemotherapy could cure their disease? What was the likelihood that chemotherapy could extend their lives? Alongside these questions, patients were asked whether they?d discussed the benefits of chemotherapy with their physicians.

In response to the question, ?After talking with your doctor about chemotherapy, how likely did you think it was that chemotherapy would ? help you live longer, cure your cancer, or help you with problems you were having because of your cancer?? Within the confines of the survey, patients could respond ?very likely,? ?somewhat likely,? ?a little likely,? ?not at all likely,? or ?don?t know.?

Patients were asked to assess how carefully and how often their doctors explained their disease, the treatment options, the prognosis, and answered any questions patients had. The cohort was also asked to assess their role in choosing what treatment to pursue: how much was it their choice, and how much had their family members (or physician) weighed in?

And here is what the survey showed:

?Overall, 69% of patients with lung cancer and 81% of those with colorectal cancer gave answers that were not consistent with understanding that chemotherapy was very unlikely to cure their cancer,? the authors write.

More than 20 percent of patients with lung cancer (N=710) and more than 30 percent of patients with colorectal cancer (N=483) responded that they thought chemotherapy was ?very likely? to cure their cancer. A nearly equal proportion responded ?somewhat likely.? Plenty of patients did also respond that chemotherapy was ?not at all likely? to cure their disease (more than 30 percent and more than 20 percent, respectively).

About 50 percent of lung cancer patients and nearly 70 percent of colorectal cancer patients said that chemotherapy was ?very likely? to extend their lives. Fewer than 10 percent from each group responded that chemotherapy was ?not at all likely? to offer life extension.

And, more than 30 percent and nearly 50 percent from each group, respectively, said that chemotherapy was ?very likely? to relieve symptoms of advanced cancer.

The authors have a lot to say on the matter. Such as:

?Chemotherapy may offer palliation and some prolongation of life, so it represents a reasonable choice for some patients. However, an argument can be made that patients without a sustained understanding that chemotherapy cannot cure their cancer have not met the standard for true ongoing informed consent to their treatment.?

In other words, if a patient is under the impression that chemotherapy might cure advanced cancer, then is offering chemotherapy to that patient ethical, under the principles of informed consent? Such thinking reflects a lack of accurate information, so consenting to treatment could only be seen as uninformed.

Maybe. The survey also raises questions about how well physicians are doing at having the most difficult of conversations. As Smith and Longo write in their accompanying editorial:

?Truthful conversations that acknowledge death help patients understand their curability, are welcomed by patients, and do not squash hope or cause depression. We need help breaking bad news. This is not one hard conversations for which we can muster our courage but a series of conversations over time from the first existential threat to life.?

Interestingly, patients who were treated in integrative networks were a bit more likely to accurately understand what chemotherapy could offer compared to those treated outside of an integrative network, a result that, the authors suggest, might indicate that providers ?may be able to improve patients? understanding if they feel it is part of their professional role.?

Clearly patients themselves are also responsible for understanding the reality of the treatment they are seeking. The authors raise an intriguing point about ?collusion? between patients and physicians, where the discussion moves too quickly from the facts of the prognosis to the potential treatment options, a phenomenon reported in this study from 12 years ago exploring the reasons behind false optimism about recovery among cancer patients.

The editorial also highlights the stubborn clinging to an inaccurate belief about chemotherapy. ?When patients are given their actual prognosis, one third or more will not admit that treatment will not cure them,? Smith and Longo write, citing two studies on the matter (this one [on which Smith is first author] and this one).

As Weeks and colleagues note, the primary concern with inaccurate expectations about chemotherapy for late-stage cancer is that they can get in the way of dying well. End-of-life planning takes time and thorough, honest conversations. If someone is holding onto hope of a cure, such conversations are far more difficult if not impossible.

The editorial also mentions cost issues. About one quarter of all Medicare spending is done in the last year of life, a percentage that is the same as it was 20 years ago. ?Costs reflect care for multiple severe illnesses typically present near death,? the authors of the Health Affairs report noting this percentage wrote. What?s more, say Smith and Longo, ?Chemotherapy near the end of life is still common, [and] does not improve survival?? This isn?t to say that all of that last-year-of-life Medicare spending is on chemotherapy, but that cost is definitely a significant contributor.

Weeks et al note some weaknesses of their study. The survey was done several months after diagnosis, so patients who died shortly thereafter were not included. And, the survey was done on a single occasion, so any shifts in belief over time were not documented. Also, patients may have been biased toward optimism by the simple presence of an empathetic interviewer. Finally, the survey was not set up to probe into the underlying psychologies that may have impacted or guided patients? beliefs about their treatment.

The authors make an interesting point at the end of the publication. ??we need to recognize that oncologists who communicate honestly with their patients, a marker of a high quality of care, may be at risk for lower patient ratings.?
