Does anyone have up-to-date information on the correlation between cost of mining and bitcoin price?  How much does it cost to mine 1 bitcoin?  How has that cost changed over time?

Do people generally think there is a connection between mining cost and bitcoin price, or is that not considered to be relevant? 

Thanks!

with rising prices people will start mining until it doesn't pay off anymore. therefore a small time miner never makes a profit and a big time miner has to stem some investment.
