Alija Izetbegovic
The following are excerpts from the book "The Islamic Declaration" ("Islamska deklaracija"), written by Mr. Alija Izetbegovic, current President of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The book was reprinted by "BOSNA", Sarajevo, 1990, 127 pages.
"... Do we want the Muslim nations to cease moving in circles, to stop being dependent, backward and poverty-stricken;
do we want them to once again with a sure step climb the road of dignity and enlightment and to become masters of their own fate;
do we want the springs of courage, genius and virtue to come forth strongly once again;
then we must show the way which leads to that objective:
The implementation of Islam in all fields of individuals' personal lives, in family and in society, by renewal of the Islamic religious thought and creating a uniform Muslim community from Morocco to Indonesia. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 3
"... A nation, and an individual, who has accepted Islam is incapable of living and dying for another ideal after that fact. It is unthinkable for a Muslim to sacrifice himself for any tzar or ruler, no matter what his name may be, or for the glory of any nation, party or some such, because acting on the strongest Muslim instinct he recognizes in this a certain type of godlessness and idolatry. A Muslim can die only with the name of Allah on his lips and for the glory of Islam, or he may run away from the battlefield. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 4
"... Muslim nations will never accept anything that is explicitly against Islam, because Islam here is not merely a faith and the law, Islam has become love and compassion. He who rises against Islam will reap nothing but hate and resistance. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 17
"... In perspective, there is but one way out in sight: creation and gathering of a new intelligence which thinks and feels along Islamic lines. This intelligence would then raise the flag of the Islamic order and together with the Muslim masses embark into action to implement this order. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 18
"... The shortest definition of the Islamic order defines it as a unity of faith and law, upbringing and force, ideals and interests, spiritual community and state, free will and force. As a synthesis of these components, the Islamic order has two fundamental premises: an Islamic society and Islamic authority. The former is the essence, and the latter the form of an Islamic order. An Islamic society without Islamic power is incomplete and weak; Islamic power without an Islamic society is either a utopia or violence.
A Muslim generally does not exist as an individual. If he wishes to live and survive as a Muslim, he must create an environment, a community, an order. He must change the world or be changed himself. History knows of no true Islamic movement which was not at the same time a political movement as well. This is because Islam is a faith, but also a philosophy, a set of moral codes, an order of things, a style, an atmosphere - in a nutshell, an integral way of life. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 19
"... The first and foremost of such conclusions is surely the one on the incompatibility of Islam and non- Islamic systems. There can be no peace or coexistence between the "Islamic faith" and non- Islamic societies and political institutions. ... Islam clearly excludes the right and possibility of activity of any strange ideology on its own turf. Therefore, there is no question of any laicistic principles, and the state should be an expression and should support the moral concepts of the religion. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 22
" Islam contains the principle of ummet, i.e. the tendency towards unification of all Muslims into a single community - a spiritual, cultural and political community. Islam is not a nationality, it is above nationalities. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 27
"... The upbringing of the nation, and especially the mass media - the press, TV and film - should be in the hands of people whose Islamic moral and intellectual authority is undisputed. ...
... Islamic renewal cannot be initiated without a religious, and cannot be successfully continued and concluded without a political revolution."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 32
"... Establishing of an Islamic order is thus shown as the ultimate act of democracy, because it means the implementation of the deepest desires of the Muslim nations and common man. One thing is certain: no matter what a part of the rich and the intelligence wants, the common man wants Islam and living in his Islamic community. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 33
"... In the struggle for an Islamic order all methods are permitted, except one - except crime. No-one has the right to smear the beautiful name of Islam and this struggle by uncontrolled and excessive use of violence. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 37
"... Islamic order may be implemented only in countries where Muslims represent the majority of the population. Without this majority, the Islamic order is reduced to authority only (because the other element is lacking - the Islamic society), and may turn into violence. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 37
"... the Islamic movement should and must start taking over the power as soon as it is morally and numerically strong enough to not only overthrow the existing non-Islamic, but also to build up a new Islamic authority. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 43
"... Pakistan was a general rehearsal of introducing Islamic order under modern conditions and on the present stage of development. ...
... The conclusions from the twenty-odd year of Pakistan's existence are clear enough. They are:
First, the struggle for Islamic order and a general reconstruction of the Muslim society can be successfully conducted only by experienced and seasoned individuals, aligned into a staunch and homogenous organization. This organization is no political party from the arsenal of the Western democracy; it is a movement based on Islamic ideology and with clear moral and ideological criteria of belonging;
Second, the struggle for an Islamic order today is a struggle to implement the essence of Islam, and this means that in practice one must ensure religious and moral upbringing of the people and provide for basic elements of social justice. At this time, forms are of secondary importance; and
Third, the functions of the Islamic republic are not to primarily declare equality of all men and brotherhood of all Muslims, but to struggle for some of these high moral principles in practice. The awakened Islam should in every community take into its own hands the flag for a more just social order and to clearly state that in struggling for Islam another war is being declared as well, the one against ignorance, injustice and poverty, a war without compromises and setbacks. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 45-46
"... In one of the thesis for an Islamic order today we have stated that it is a natural function of the Islamic order to gather all Muslims and Muslim communities throughout the world into one. Under present conditions, this desire means a struggle for creating a great Islamic federation from Morocco to Indonesia, from the tropical Africa to the Central Asia. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 46
"... Panislamism always came from the very heart of the Muslim peoples, nationalism was always imported stuff. ..."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 49
"... But, under the leadership of Zionists, started an action in Palestine which is not only inhumane and ruthless but also shortsighted and adventuresome. This politics takes in account only temporary ratio of power and forgets about overall ratio of power between Jews and Muslims in the world. This politics in Palestine is a provocation to all Muslims of the world. Jerusalem is not only a question of Palestinians, neither is it a question of Arabs only. It is a question of all the Muslim nations. TO KEEP JERUSALEM, THE JEWS WOULD HAVE TO DEFEAT ISLAM AND THE MUSLIMS, AND THAT - THANK GOD - IS OUTSIDE THEIR POWER."
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 53
"... We would like to distinguish between Jews and Zionists, but only if Jews themselves find strength to find the difference. We hope that the military victories, which they had against quarrelling Arab regimes, (not against Arabs or against Muslims) will not blur their minds. We hope that they will eliminate confrontation which they made by them- selves, so the new road is open to a life on the common ground of Palestine. If they, though, continue on the road of arrogance, which is more likely, then for the whole Islam movement, and FOR ALL MUSLIMS THERE IS BUT ONE SOLUTION: TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT, TO STRENGTHEN AND BROADEN IT, FROM DAY TO DAY, FROM YEAR TO YEAR, NO MATTER THE VICTIMS AND NO MATTER THE TIME it may last, until they are forced to RETURN EVERY INCH OF THE OCCUPIED LAND. EVERY NEGOTIATION AND EVERY COMPROMISE ON THIS FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE FOR OUR BROTHERS IN PALESTINE, WILL BE A TREASON WHICH MAY DESTROY THE VERY CORE OF THE MORAL SYSTEM OF OUR WORLD.
These are not new laws of our new Islam politics toward Christians and Jews, not new laws dictated by the new political situation. They are just the practical conclusions taken from the Islamic recognition of Christians and Jews which come right from the Qu'ran (Qu'ran, 29/45, 2/136, 5/47-49)
Izetbegovic, Alija, Islamska deklaracija, Sarajevo, 1990, p. 53-54.

What is the best way to ensure Console Port stays open when using TACACS+
We have an assortment of 4507s, 2950s, and mid-size routers, all on TACACS+. We have physical security over all the devices, so we want the console port always available. We tried adding "login authen for-console" under line Con 0, and "aaa authen login for-console none", but that sometimes gives us an infinitly recuring login prompt. Whats the best way to always keep it open?
This will be independent of TACACS. Whether you should remove the TACACS lines from Console 0 depends on what is configured in aaa and on what you want the behavior to be. If you leave the TACACS lines on console 0 there will be no authentication and the console will be pretty much always open. (I say pretty much because if someone is on the console and when they finish they execute the logoff or quit or exit commands the console session will terminate and go back to the login prompt.)
If you remove the TACACS lines from console 0 and there is an aaa authentication login default configured then the console will be subject to this processing for authentication.
Based on what I think I understand of what you are trying to do I would leave the TACACS configured on the console as you have it and I would add the exec-timeout 0.

We just saw the team off from Carmacks after just under four hours of rest. The dogs and Allen all really made the most of the sleep and refuel stop. Allen made some time for a quick interview with the Quest press team before he fed the team their meal, packed his sled, bootied and left.
Allen is sticking to his plan (well, one of his plans) and this race is still on folks, there is still a way to go and, as you know in dog mushing, anything can happen.
We'll be honest: the exit was not the cleanest. It was a little stop/start but we are speculating on the conversation that was happening:
Quito: "Hey guys, I didn't pee when we left camp and I need to pee… I'm the Queen so can you all just wait a minute… I'll just find a spot… over here looks good… no, wait, here is better… ahhh, that's better."
Boondocks: "Oh hey, that's a good idea, I might pee too… everyone just hang on a minute… "
Rest of the team: "Yeah, ummm, actually I could do with a pee too… yeah, me too… and me…"
Clyde: "Guys… guys… what about me? I ate all that kibble and I need to poop!"
Eventually they happily trotted off down the trail towards Braeburn where we will next see them.
I'll work on some video and get it up asap. Practice your Quito, Boondocks and Clyde voices so you can narrate it out loud.

Dispatches from a Fox News mole confirms everyone's prejudices
EVER wondered what it's like to work at Fox News? Then this new column over at Gawker will fill you in.
"The Fox Mole", an anonymous long-time employee of Fox News Channel, according to Gawker, will be posting dispatches from within the organisation. In the first column, the mole, a self-described left-winger, suggests that working at Fox has made him/her undesirable to other employers and that Fox's audience is full of racists.

Pamela Anderson will be running through the streets of New York, though unfortunately it won't be in slow motion or while clad in a red Speedo. Instead, the Playboy model will be strapping on what we can only hope will be a reliable sports bra, to run the city's marathon this November.
After joining Sean Penn's team for the J/P Haitian Relief Fund, Anderson took to her runner's page to express her dedication to the cause: "To spend time in Haiti is to fall in love with Haiti The magic of this country… The people… The humility… Pride Musicians, athletes and Artists It has been heartbreaking to witness the poverty among people in what should be a very rich country," she wrote.
As for the reaction of friends and family, "People think I'm crazy," Anderson told the Daily News. "People tell me that I really don't know what I'm getting into, but that's kind of the story of my life. I'll just go with it." Good for you, Pam!
Anyways, here's the "Baywatch" intro, if you need it.

no images were foundThis concept isn't new, but I love it anyway. Here are a few of my favorites…
You know you're a CrossFitter when:
- You know the ten general skills by heart and can recite them at social gatherings.
- You have posted pictures of yourself working out on facebook.
- Your steering wheel and radio controls are covered in chalk.
- Every time you go to Lowe's/Home Depot, you are looking for the exercise potential of equipment rather than stuff for your home.
- You go to buy a swiss ball, and the salesperson goes into their spiel about the comfortable feel of the rubber and how easy it is on your back for doing crunches, and you interrupt them and ask, "Ya…but how much will it weigh when I fill it full of sand?"
- You have defended the kipping pull up with scientific references at least 10 times in the last month.
- You move all the equipment you need to do the workout next to the pull up bar so you can shave seconds off your time.
- Your shins have more scrapes than a twelve year old boy.
- When you travel, your first concern is if there is a local affiliate close by.
Today's WOD:
As many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:

Smoked Beef Brisket "texas Style"
Recipe by HonkIfYourHungry
This is one of the most delicious ways to prepare a beef brisket. You'll have the neighborhood over once the smell hit's the air. Best when prepared on a Weber!!
Top Review by MaggieAnne63
I submitted a comment, but it seems to have gotten lost. I am not rating this recipe because I have not tried it and it may be delicious, however, it is not how brisket is made in Texas. I was born and raised in Texas. We use many different recipes, woods, seasonings and methods of cooking brisket....but I have never seen brisket cooked this way in Texas!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 5 -6 lbs beef brisket
- cracked sea salt
- cracked pepper
- olive oil
Directions See How It's Made
- You will also need 2 medium aluminum pans & 1/2 cup hickory chips , 1/2 cup cherry wood chips. 1 medium bag of charcoal.
- Dry off brisket & coat lightly with oil. Cover with sea salt & pepper. Don't be stingy!Let Brisket rest in the refrigerator for 30 minute
- While the meat is chillin' out let's get the grill ready.Place 1 aluminum pan filled with hot water off to one side of the bottom of the grill & the coal to the other side.Use a coal chimney if you have one. Put on the lid & let heat up to 225 degrees.Don't go over 250. This method is called indirect heating.
- Once the coals are ready place the Brisket fat side down over the pan of water. Put the cherry & hickory chips on the coals & place the other aluminum pan filled with water over the fire. Helps keep the heat just right.
- Cook for 8-10 hours @ 225. checking on the coal every hour or so & replacing as needed. Don't add any more wood! Will be too smokey. Check with meat thermometer when core temperature is about 180 or 190. Remove from grill & let rest for 20 minute.
- Slice up & serve on a bun dry or with your favorite sauce.

Spanish is a beautiful language, how I wish I could learn it too!:)
This is another wonderful post from you<3
Thanks! All languages are kind of awesome; and I certainly love Spanish. And hey, it never hurts to know how to say "¿Dónde está el baño?" in any language—so I'd say do all the research you want!
Thank you for reading!
Good luck on your AP! And your story is super adorable; the fact that Dante eats bacon and granola just helps. Can totally imagine them being awesome secret agents together :)
And thanks so much for introducing me to Good Story Link-ups, I have this feeling I'll get extremely acquainted with it tonight ... or tomorrow very early morning ...
Thank you! And I'm glad you like the story; when I was bored at school yesterday I considered it a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer story but with secret agents. XD Such is life.
And absolutely! When you get around to posting something, let me know so I can read it!
I love this porcupine and I would give him a hug if it would not kill me.ReplyDelete
Isn't it such a tragedy, that the best things in life are only going to stab you with poisonous needles that grow out of their backs...Delete
Check it out, comments and stuff. I love to hear from readers, and I always respond to commenters! Here's the fun part—if you leave a link to your blog I'll show up and comment back.

This study examined the quality of life (QOL), measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) questionnaire, among urban (n = 277) and non-urban (n = 323) breast cancer survivors and women from the general population (n = 1140) in Queensland, Australia.
Population-based samples of breast cancer survivors aged < 75 years who were 12 months post-diagnosis and similarly-aged women from the general population were recruited between 2002 and 2007.
Age-adjusted QOL among urban and non-urban breast cancer survivors was similar, although QOL related to breast cancer concerns was the weakest domain and was lower among non-urban survivors than their urban counterparts (36.8 versus 40.4, P < 0.01). Irrespective of residence, breast cancer survivors, on average, reported comparable scores on most QOL scales as their general population peers, although physical well-being was significantly lower among non-urban survivors (versus the general population, P < 0.01). Overall, around 20%-33% of survivors experienced lower QOL than peers without the disease. The odds of reporting QOL below normative levels were increased more than two-fold for those who experienced complications following surgery, reported upper-body problems, had higher perceived stress levels and/or a poor perception of handling stress (P < 0.01 for all).
Results can be used to identify subgroups of women at risk of low QOL and to inform components of tailored recovery interventions to optimize QOL for these women following cancer treatment.
Breast cancer is a major public health concern, with one in eight women developing the disease before the age of 85 years in developed countries of the world [1,2]. Despite therapeutic advances, which have contributed to improvements in survival (five-year survival currently 87%) [3] women continue to experience considerable physical and psychosocial dysfunction during and following treatment. While these quality of life (QOL) concerns are short-lived for some, others may struggle to regain expected levels of QOL longer term.
QOL has been associated with adherence to treatment [4] and prognosis [5,6] and is now recognized as an important research outcome. International research on factors that influence QOL among breast cancer survivors has been extensive (over 300 published studies in 2008 alone integrated QOL as an outcome). Socio-demographic (e.g., income), general health (e.g., medical conditions) and treatment (e.g., adjuvant therapy) characteristics each have been associated with QOL [7], with the strength and consistency of the associations dependent on the characteristic of interest. Nevertheless, there remain subgroups of women for whom limited information on QOL is available, including those women who reside outside major metropolitan areas. This is important because approximately one-third of new breast cancer cases live outside major metropolitan areas [2].
In Australia, geographic residence influences stage at diagnosis and type of surgery, with those living in rural areas more likely to have a mastectomy than their urban counterparts (38% versus 25%, respectively) [8-10]. Geographic residence also influences access to health services [11], as fewer than half of regional/rural hospitals administer chemotherapy [12], and fewer still provide radiotherapy services [13]. Further, rural Australian women often have to travel in excess of 100 kilometers (i.e., 62 miles) to receive adjuvant treatment and are away from home for approximately 20 to 43 days for chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment, respectively [14,15]. Hence, it seems plausible that rural women with breast cancer may have unique and additional burdens, such as disruption to family life, work and financial security [14,16], which ultimately may influence QOL differently to that observed for women residing in urban areas.
Research that compares QOL between urban and non-urban cancer survivors is lacking, and from those studies that exist, results are inconsistent. Two studies suggest that rural breast cancer survivors fare worse [17,18], while one indicates that QOL is superior among a rural group of mixed cancer survivors [19], when compared with their urban counterparts. Further, there is a paucity of information comparing the QOL among cancer groups with that of the general population, making interpretation of findings challenging. Therefore, this paper examines whether QOL differs between urban and non-urban women 12 months following breast cancer diagnosis and compares their QOL with women from the general population residing in their respective geographic areas. We also sought to identify characteristics of breast cancer survivors associated with reporting QOL below normative levels.
The Pulling Through Study (PTS) was a longitudinal, population-based study among breast cancer survivors living within 100 kilometers (i.e., 62 miles) of the capital city of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia, and diagnosed in 2002 [20,21]. This study was extended to include survivors from non-urban areas of Queensland, diagnosed between April 2006 and March 2007 [22]. The Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA+) classification system was used to define place of residence as either major city, inner regional, outer regional, remote or very remote, and is based on road distance and population size of the nearest town [23]. The selected localities within the perimeter of Brisbane fall within the ARIA+ classification for major cities and hereafter are referred to as 'urban'. Residents of inner regional, remote and very remote areas were pooled as the 'non-urban' group and reflect the reduced access to a range of oncology services experienced by those who live outside state capital cities, irrespective of the level of remoteness [12].
Eligible women, diagnosed with unilateral breast cancer at age 74 years or younger, were randomly selected through the Queensland Cancer Registry (target sample). All cancer diagnoses in Queensland are required to be reported to the Registry and therefore these records provide an accurate sampling frame for recruitment. Since breast cancer is mostly a disease of women 50 yrs or older and to ensure adequate numbers were available for specific age group analyses, younger women were over-sampled in the urban arm of the study, while 100% of eligible non-urban women were recruited for all age groups. Following appropriate ethical approval and the requirements of the cancer registry, doctor consent to contact eligible women (provided for 82% of the urban sample and 90% of the non-urban sample) and participant consent was sought. Overall, 277 urban and 323 non-urban women returned completed quuestionnaires at 12 months post-diagnosis (66% and 71% of eligible women with doctor consent for the urban and non-urban arms, respectively).
Following ethical approval, the general Queensland population sample was derived from the Queensland Cancer Risk Study (QCRS), a population-based survey conducted in 2004 among English-speaking residents of Queensland, aged 20-75 years, randomly sampled within strata defined by gender, age and geographic region (defined by the ARIA+ classification as as major city, inner regional, outer regional or remote/very remote). Further details about the study methods are described elsewhere [24]. Briefly, of the 8,398 adults who agreed to participate in the self-administered questionnaire, 5822 (69.3%) returned surveys, of which 2727 contained QOL information. Analyses reported in this paper include women for whom QOL data were available and who had no prior history of breast cancer, with 675 living in urban and 465 in non-urban areas of Queensland, as defined by the ARIA+.
QOL was measured among women with breast cancer at 12 months post-diagnosis using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-G) questionnaire, which is comprised of 27 items rated on a five-point Likert scale (ranging from 0 = 'not at all' to 4 = 'very much') and includes four subscales (physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being). Higher scores represent better well-being. Women in the QCRS received the general population FACT instrument (FACT-GP), which is identical to the FACT-G except it excludes six illness-related items inappropriate for the general population [25,26]. Overall FACT-GP summary scores and subscales were pro-rated as per the FACT manual to obtain scores comparable to the FACT-G [27], resulting in total scores for all study groups ranging from 0-108 for overall QOL, 0-28 for the physical, social, and functional well-being subscales, and 0-24 for the emotional well-being subscale. Women with breast cancer also completed 13 questions on breast cancer concerns and arm morbidity (FACT-B+4), with total scores from 0-52 for the breast cancer concerns subscale, and 0-160 for overall FACT-B+4. The FACT instrument has excellent reliability and validity [28].
Demographic (age, marital status, educational level, private health insurance, occupation [29,30] and income), general health (smoking status, body mass index, co-morbidities, complications following surgery, upper-body function [31], physical activity and stress levels including perceived handling of stress) and treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy) characteristics for the breast cancer study participants were also obtained via the questionnaire, whereas information on tumor characteristics were abstracted from histopathology reports (e.g., type of surgery, maximum tumor size and grade, and lymph node status).
Distributions of the FACT scores were approximately normal and hence were summarized as means with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using SPSS (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, version 14). Analysis of variance tests compared age-adjusted mean QOL scores at 12 months post-diagnosis between urban and non-urban breast cancer survivors. Comparisons between breast cancer survivors and women from the general population involved general linear regression models to obtain QOL scores adjusted for characteristics that differed between the groups (i.e., potential confounding factors).
Descriptive results presented in this study have been adjusted for the sampling fraction used to identify younger breast cancer patients from urban areas (weighting applied: < 50 years:1.0; ≥50 years:1.3). The general population comparison group was also weighted by age, based on Australian Bureau of Statistics data, so that results reflect the actual female Queensland resident population (weighting applied for urban, regional, outer regional, remote and very remote: < 50 years:1.3, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 0.9, respectively; ≥50 years:0.8, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6 and 1.1, respectively) [33]. The conventional P < 0.05 level (two-tailed) was accepted as statistically significant. Differences of eight or more points in mean FACT-B+4 scores, five or more points in mean FACT-G scores, three or more points on the breast cancer concerns subscale and two or more points for all other subscales between urban and non-urban breast cancer survivors or between women with breast cancer and their general population peers were considered clinically important, as recommended by developers of the FACT [25]. For correlates, a difference in odds ratios (ORs) of ≥1.8 or ≤0.6 was considered to be of potential clinical relevance.
As suggested by Fayers [34], a new outcome measure was calculated to characterize breast cancer survivors whose QOL was below normative levels. QOL values were calculated for each five-year age stratum of the general population study group and subtracted from the QOL score within the same age group of women with breast cancer (i.e., case FACT-G minus general population comparison group FACT-G) separately by urban and non-urban residence [34]. Positive scores indicate higher QOL, and negative scores indicate lower QOL, among cases relative to age- (within five years) and residence-matched peers. Relative overall QOL (FACT-G) was then categorized into groups using score differentials considered clinically important to investigate the proportions of breast cancer survivors with relative overall QOL lower than (-5.0 points or more), similar to (>-5.0 to < +5.0) or better than (+5.0 points or more) the general population study group. Relative QOL was also calculated for each subscale, using two points as the critical threshold. A dichotomous outcome variable was defined, combining the 'similar' and 'better' groups, and binary logistic regression was used to generate ORs and 95% CIs to identify demographic, general health, and clinical characteristics associated with QOL status below the norm compared to the 'similar/better' group. A range of potentially important correlates were explored, however, only those that were found to be statistically significant or clinically important are reported. Formal tests of interactions between residence and each of the characteristics of interest did not yield any statistically significant results, therefore pooled results, adjusted for residence, are presented.
Demographic and disease characteristics were similar for the women with breast cancer in this study and those in the target sample. The majority of women (75-80%) were diagnosed with infiltrating ductal carcinoma, approximately 60% received complete local excision of their tumour and more than 50% had 10 or more lymph nodes removed. However, participants among urban breast cancer survivors had somewhat smaller tumor size (median tumour size was 14 mm) when compared with the target sample [20-22]. For the majority of demographic and general health characteristics, women with breast cancer had similar characteristics, irrespective of place of residence. However, the urban compared to the non-urban breast cancer sample was more likely to be unmarried, have private health insurance and report fewer co-morbidities, and less likely to be obese (Table (Table1).1). Non-urban compared to urban women with breast cancer were more likely to have multiple forms of adjuvant therapy and less likely to report multiple complications.
A comparison of women with or without breast cancer showed significant differences for several demographic and general health characteristics (Table (Table1).1). Breast cancer survivors tended to be older or have lower educational levels when compared with the general population, irrespective of residence. In addition, urban breast cancer survivors were more likely to be single, have private health insurance, and/or fewer co-morbidities (other than breast cancer), while non-urban breast cancer survivors were more likely to be sedentary and/or have two or more co-morbidities (other than breast cancer), when compared with their general population counterparts. While there was a significant (P < 0.05) difference in body mass index between urban breast cancer survivors and their general population peers, this was attenuated when missing values were omitted from analyses.
Although urban breast cancer survivors reported higher age-adjusted QOL summary and subscale scores than their non-urban counterparts 12 months following diagnosis, differences did not reach the threshold for clinical importance even for those subscales that were statistically significant (physical, emotional, and overall QOL, P < 0.01). In contrast, well-being related to breast cancer concerns was lower among non-urban compared to urban survivors by statistical (P < 0.01) and clinical criteria (Table (Table2).2). Furthermore, for both groups, women reported most detriment to their QOL for this subscale, with participants reporting mean values below 80% of the maximum score on average. Participants reported mean values at approximately 80% of the maximum score for all other subscales.
Table Table33 presents the subscale and overall mean FACT-G scores for breast cancer survivors compared with women from the general population, stratified by residence and adjusted for potential confounding factors. At 12 months post-diagnosis, urban and non-urban breast cancer survivors reported clinically higher social well-being compared with their general population peers, and non-urban breast cancer survivors also reported clinically lower physical well-being (P < 0.01 for all). Scores for emotional, functional and overall (FACT-G) QOL were clinically comparable to their counterparts from the general population despite a statistically significant difference for emotional and functional well-being (P < 0.01).
Using the new outcome measure of QOL relative to age and residency-matched women from the general population, depending on the specific QOL scale, between 17.2% and 32.8% of all women with breast cancer reported clinically lower QOL 12 months following diagnosis than age- (within five years) and residence-matched women without the disease. A further 17.5%-48.5% of women reported similar QOL, while the remainder (19.8%-65.3%) reported clinically better QOL (Figure (Figure1).1). The subscales with the highest proportions below the norm were emotional (32.8%) and physical (29.3%) well-being, and overall QOL (26.2%).
Following adjustment for potential confounding factors, a range of characteristics were associated with breast cancer survivors reporting overall (FACT-G) QOL below normative levels (Table (Table4),4), but place of residence (i.e., urban versus non-urban) was not one of these (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.06; 95% Confidence interval (CI) = 0.64-1.74). Experiencing one or more complications following surgery was associated with two-fold increased odds (OR = 2.26, 95% CI = 1.31-3.90; P < 0.01) of reporting reduced QOL, while upper-body function below the median, moderate or higher stress levels and poor perceived handling of stress were each associated with at least four-fold increased odds of reporting reduced QOL (ORs ranging from 4.24-4.77, P < 0.01, see Table Table4).4). A marker of higher socioeconomic status, having private health insurance, was associated with a 0.6 odds of reporting lower relative QOL (95% CI = 0.37-0.99, P = 0.05).
Urban and non-urban breast cancer survivors reported similar levels of QOL 12 months following diagnosis, overall and for subscales. The sole exception was the breast cancer concerns subscale, which showed that non-urban residents fared worse than their urban counterparts. When comparing breast cancer survivors to age- and residence-matched peers, the only detriment to QOL was among non-urban breast cancer survivors who reported statistically and clinically poorer physical well-being. Overall, up to one in three breast cancer survivors reported QOL below the age- and residency-matched general female population. The major independent correlates of reporting overall QOL below that of age-matched women without breast cancer were complications following surgery, poorer upper-body function, higher perceived stress levels, and poor perception of handling stress.
Despite the known differences by geographic residence with regards to access to services, availability of treatment and survival outcomes, our results indicate only minor disparities in QOL between urban and non-urban breast cancer survivors 12 months post-diagnosis. The subscale measuring breast cancer-specific concerns yielded the lowest values (based on percent of maximum score) reported by all survivors, but in particular for women living in non-urban areas. Items within this subscale deal with treatment-related symptoms, such as swelling of the arms, pain, shortness of breath, body image and sexuality. These results support existing research which demonstrates that while QOL among breast cancer survivors improves considerably during the first year following completion of treatment, breast cancer treatment-related concerns (such as arm dysfunction, poor body image, and sexual dysfunction) may persist [35-39].
It is plausible that non-urban survivors suffer in terms of their breast cancer-specific QOL, more so than urban survivors, as a consequence of inequalities in accessing specialised services. However, study-specific data collection procedures may also have contributed. QOL scores were derived from the third questionnaire for participants in the longitudinal urban breast cancer study, whereas the first (and only) questionnaire was the source of QOL data for non-urban breast cancer participants. Therefore urban survivors may have responded differently to QOL questions over time, not only because their QOL changed, but also because they may have become used to answering questions about QOL and might have over time changed their perception of QOL. This response shift may, in part, explain what appears to be a more positive breast cancer-specific QOL among urban survivors than non-urban survivors. However, the difference in QOL was observed on most but not all subscales, suggesting that response shift played a minor role in our findings.
On average, QOL was similar for breast cancer survivors and general population peers, for both urban and non-urban residents, similar to results reported by other authors studying QOL among breast cancer survivors 12 months [40,41] or longer [18,26,42] following diagnosis. The high FACT-G scores observed among breast cancer survivors are somewhat surprising, because patients frequently report ongoing symptoms and long-term side-effects [35,36,39]. High functional and social well-being reported by breast cancer survivors compared to their general population counterparts contributed to their overall high FACT-G score and contradicts previous research [18,26,40-42]. However, the literature is dominated by studies using the European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer QOL questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) [18,26,40,41]. The social well-being subscale of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the FACT have been shown to be poorly correlated (r = 0.09) [43] suggesting they measure different aspects of social well-being. Furthermore, QOL domains measured by the FACT-G may be more relevant to short-term recovery. Whereas 12 months or longer after diagnosis, alternate issues may become more important for QOL, such as fear of recurrence or making meaning of the cancer experience. More recently, survivorship-specific QOL instruments have been developed, and further research is needed to assess whether these will uncover additional medium- to long-term survivorship issues [44].
Despite overall QOL similarities between survivors and their general population peers, up to one-third (depending on the subscale) of survivors continued to experience lower QOL 12 months following diagnosis of breast cancer. To our knowledge, despite Fayers suggesting advanced analytical procedures using normative scores in 2000 [34], this is the first study to assess correlates of lower QOL among breast cancer survivors in this manner. The results demonstrate that experiencing one or more treatment-related complications, reporting lower upper-body function than the median, moderate to high stress levels and/or perceived poor handling of stress could reduce the odds of good QOL two- to four-fold. The cross-sectional nature of the data denotes that these characteristics are correlates of QOL but not necessarily causes. Moreover, the relative QOL index used to identify these correlates may be focusing on those women with breast cancer who would have been in the lower part of the QOL range even before they had the disease. Regardless, these correlates have relevance for identifying subgroups of breast cancer survivors who require assistance to regain QOL to levels expected among age-matched peers from the general population.
Several key design features of this work highlight the strength and importance of the findings. Results were obtained from population-based urban and non-urban breast cancer samples, representative of their respective target populations [20-22], and therefore results are likely generalizable to the wider population of breast cancer survivors. Further, QOL of survivors were compared to peers without breast cancer, including matching for place of residence, allowing for more accurate interpretation of meaning of results. At a glance, the results from this study suggest that, overall, women with breast cancer fare well by 12 months following diagnosis; however, interventions are needed to improve breast cancer-related concerns among all women with breast cancer and physical well-being among non-urban survivors. These should specifically recruit those survivors who experience complications following surgery, upper-body dysfunction and/or those with a greater burden of stress (i.e., higher amounts and/or poor self-perceived handling of stress). Interventions that address such concerns and that are accessible for all women, irrespective of place of residence, may help facilitate a faster return to optimal QOL in the future.
Overall, the QOL of breast cancer survivors living in rural and urban areas was similar except for breast cancer related concerns being more dominant in women from rural locations. Among all women about 20%-33% have lower QOL one year past diagnosis compared to age matched women from the general population without breast cancer and thus could benefit from additional support and interventions.

Guest Column: Logic of state's corruption rating is flawed
MARK TWAIN complained that there were lies, damn lies and statistics. I've also heard that 90 percent of statistics are wrong.
This comes to mind when thinking about a recent study published in Forbes magazine that rates Mississippi number one in the nation for government corruption.
Researchers from Indiana University and City University of Hong Kong looked at more than 25,000 convictions for violations of federal corruption laws between 1976 and 2008 to find the rate of corruption among government officials in each state.
There is one glaring problem with this study. It is based on corruption convictions. So the state best at catching, prosecuting and convicting corruption would, naturally, have the most convictions. States that didn't prosecute corruption would have the least convictions.
