Hepatitis C Patient Advocate, Navigator or Health Advocate
The concept of patient advocacy in its current form was developed in 1950's as the treatment of patients grew more and more technically complicated, as a means to make the voice of the patient more readily heard. In today's world of constantly evolving medical techniques, treatments, and services, the average individual cannot be expected to be thoroughly acquainted with any and all this material. So it becomes the function of the Hepatitis C patient advocate to perform a variety of services to ease the burden of the patient, and their family, as they learn to deal with every aspect of the disease.
The primary concern of the Hepatitis C advocate is the support of the patient in all aspects of life with the disease, whether they be physical, emotional, or financial. An advocate can assist the patient in investigating available treatment options and educating the patient on the efficacy of each of them, be it pharmacological or surgical. By educating the patient, the advocate can be of great assistance in helping them make an informed decision about their course of action, and the possible side effects and outcomes. Support may also involve recommending counseling services for the patient, and their family members, to help them cope from day to day. Hepatitis C patient advocates may also be of assistance in helping the patient, and their caregivers, deal with any physical debilitation resulting from the disease, and its treatment.
Another aspect of Hepatitis C patient advocacy is assistance in navigating the financial aspects of treating the disease. An advocate can act as a liaison between the patient and his or her insurance company, assuring that the patient receives any and all benefits to which they are entitled. When one is dealing with a serious disease, it is quite easy to lose track of other aspects of your life. An advocate can help to seek out sources of assistance which can ease the financial burden of the patient.
Education is also a major function of a health advocate. Both the patient, and their caregivers, are often in need of information about how the disease will affect their lives, both during its progression, and in its aftermath. Patients must be informed about how their condition will affect their mobility, the ability to care for themselves, and if they will be left with any permanent impairment to their lifestyle. Caregivers need to be instructed in mechanisms, or techniques they must use to cope with the patient's daily care, such as injections, proper care of surgical dressings, etc.
The patient, above everything else, needs to know that there is someone in their corner. Someone who will help them find their way through the confusing, and sometimes daunting, world of modern medicine. Someone who will have their best interests in mind as they face challenges presented every day in their struggle to find, secure, and finance the best treatment available.
What is Hepatitis C?
Hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) is one of the many viral infections that affect the liver. The other common infections in this category are hepatitis A virus (HAV) and Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Others not so common ones are Hepatitis D, E and G. Unlike hepatitis A, hepatitis C is more likely to take a chronic trend that can eventually lead to liver cirrhosis and cancer.
Symptoms of Hepatitis C
By the time symptoms start showing, the infection has been in the body for a while. The liver is one of the most versatile organs in the body and this is probably the reason there is that symptomless period as it tries to contain the viral assault. When finally symptoms of the uncomplicated disease appear they include:
- Loss of appetite.
- Generalized tiredness.
- Body hotness.
- Abdominal discomfort and digestive problems.
- There may be other non-specific symptoms.
- Jaundice, yellowness of the eyes may be present although it is rare at this stage.
Later when the disease has destroyed more liver tissues and fibrosis (cirrhosis) is setting in, the symptoms may include:
- Loss of weight due to, partly, persistent loss of appetite.
- Dark and reddish urine.
- Progressive weakness.
- Breast enlargement (males) gynecomastia.
- Bleeding disorder.
- Abdominal swelling with or without a palpable mass in the right lower edge of the ribcage.
- Rash on the palms
- Small vessels running under the skin like a spider's web – spider angiomas.
- Edema of the legs.
- As a bigger percentage of the liver gets destroyed signs of liver failure will set in. they may include, confusion, dizziness, fainting, convulsions and even coma.
- Abdominal distension and fluid in the abdominal cavity – ascites.
- Heart complications.
- Jaundice is common at this stage.
- A small but significant number of people develop cancer at the last stages of the disease which can be years after exposure to the virus.
Cause and Risk Factors of Hepatitis C
The disease is caused by a virus that thrives in the blood. It is transmitted from one person to another through contact with open wounds, pricks or through contamination with blood or other body fluids. Risk factors include:
- Prick from a contaminated needle.
- Sexual contact with an infected person.
- Contact with contaminated blood or body fluids.
- Transfusing infected blood and blood products.
- Mother to child infection at delivery.
- Medical procedures like dialysis.
- Cosmetic procedures like tattoos.
Diagnosis of Hepatitis C
After the initial complains, your doctor will suspect the infection. He will take a thorough history of the illness and your past in an attempt to establish any risk factors that you could have been exposed to. Then he will carry out a thorough physical examination on you.
The next step is to carry out certain laboratory tests to establish whether the virus is present or not and if present, the subtype of the virus. This is important to come up with an effective treatment. Other tests include:
- Viral load of the virus in your body.
- Antibody tests that prove you have been exposed to the virus.
- Liver biopsy.
- Other tests may be done to rule out other conditions the doctor may be suspecting.
Treatment of Hepatitis C
Depending on the stage of the illness, treatment can include palliative management as per specific symptoms. Specific management includes:
- Medications like Ribavin, Boceprevir, Simeprevir and Sofosbuvir.
- Liver transplant.
- Vaccinations to those at risk.
More effective treatment is achieved with combining a number of drugs.
U.S Statistics of Hepatitis C Infection
About 3.2 million Americans are living with the disease.
The number of reported cases is about 1/13th of the actual estimated cases.
In 2013 about 39400 deaths were reported in relation to the HCV infection. Again, this is a fraction of the estimated actual deaths.
15-25 per cent of patients can completely heal from the infection while the rest progress to chronic states.

Published: April 19, 1987
(Page 2 of 2)
From her wood-paneled apartment on New York's West Side, which looks onto rhinestone-windowed skyscrapers, she talks of her small-town-style Fire Island friendships, which contrast with city life. Cocktail time does not mean caviar and champagne, and drinks are taken in bathing suits and sweatshirts.
''It's out of time, like 'Brigadoon,''' she said. ''When the ferry starts, you see only those people, and when it stops you don't see them again.''
Fire Island, where she still maintains a summer home, was also where she met Bert Pogrebin, her husband and best friend. ''It was an instant falling in love across the volleyball net,'' she said. She was 24 and ''scandalously single.''
A group of men had unknowingly rented a house in a homosexual area, where they got ''gussied up for Saturday night at what we used to call Yetta Cohen's Yacht Club, and only handsome men appeared.'' They imported women on weekends, and she and Bert were invited.
Twenty-three years later, they have what she calls the ''rare great marriage; I will tell him anything,'' she said. She found out that women may say this, but on tests, ''You find they tell women friends more than they tell husbands.''
For men it's different: ''They don't get from men the nurture they get from their wives.''
Ms. Pogrebin also counts her children among her best friends. ''If you haven't created an authoritarian separation,'' she said, ''you can relate to them as human beings and not pawns in your scenario of power.''
Two of her children, twin daughters who are in college, are each other's best friend, though they have different groups of friends otherwise. Their mother is sometimes surprised when one says of the other, ''Can't you see she's miserable?''
One of Ms. Pogrebin's most valued friendships is an unusual one. In 1974 on the island of Grenada, two families on vacation together, the Pogrebins and a Swedish family, were in neighboring cabins. They were both reading ''Something Happened,'' one in Swedish, the other in English.
For three weeks, these two ''mirror-image families'' saw each other every day. For the next seven years they sustained the friendship by letters about the ''meaning of life.''
''With a friend from 68th Street I would not have such a distilled conversation,'' she said. ''I know them better by letter than people I see all the time.''
At this point in her life, in her mid-40's with her children grown, Ms. Pogrebin has more time for her own kind of friendship, which is about ''sharing happiness.''
''A lot of friends are friends because they share problems or sadness,'' she said. ''Happiness is the test.''
A recent expression of friendship in Ms. Pogrebin's own life demonstrates what friendship can be in the ideal and at the same time dispels the validity of doubts she may have had about herself as a friend.
With experience from her former career in publishing, selling subsidiary rights, she conducted an auction to sell two books for her friend Ms. Steinem, one to be delivered in one year, the other in two. She did this, she said, purely as an act of friendship.
''Gloria has been an important person in my life, not just any kind of friend. I tried to show my feeling for her in daily life but I have been at a loss to give her something that would be right for her. This was something I could do that only I could do, a way of personalizing my gratitude.''
Ms. Steinem and Ms. Pogrebin went to 17 publishers together to describe the two books, ''The Bedside Book of Self-Esteem'' and a book on women from powerful American families, and to set out the auction procedures. Ms. Pogrebin organized the auctions, which resulted in $1.2 million for the two books, far more than they would have brought in individual sales to publishers.
The two women started the auctions on March 25, the morning of Ms. Steinem's 53d birthday, and ended three days later, giving Ms. Steinem an ''instant retirement account,'' Ms. Pogrebin said, since she had always given all her money away. ''We had a lot of fun doing it,'' Ms. Pogrebin said.
At the same time, the two women contributed what they would have paid to an agent to the Ms. Foundation. Ms. Pogrebin said, ''Giving money to the foundation while assuring a secure old-age for Gloria seemed organically feminist. That's what it's about.''
As for old-age friendship, she recounts in the book an overheard conversation in Florida: ''So, did you get any Valentine's Day cards?''
''Are you kidding? I got from my son a card, and from my two grandchildren I got hand-mades with doilies.''
''Did you hear, Sidney didn't get nothing for Valentine's? Some people's children don't care about them.'' ''It's a shame.'' ''A real shame.''

It has been 10 days since the standoff between the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and the producers resulted in the broadcasters taking the extreme step of airing only repeat programming in primetime television. It is understood that the active producers would be meeting FWICE members for the first time on November 19. Expectations of tangible and positive results from this meeting are high.
In the meanwhile, the 'grace period', as some call it, that the Indian Society of Advertisers (ISA) and the Advertising Agencies Association of India (AAAI) had given to the broadcasters to resolve this issue is all but over. Come November 20, and the advertisers would engage with the various broadcasters to discuss how they can be compensated for the drop in ratings due to repeat telecasts. Until now, none of the advertisers have either pulled out their spots or renegotiated the ad rates on the channels.
The AAAI members met over the issue on November 18. Sam Balsara, Chairnman, Madison World, who was chairing this meeting, told exchange4media, "The 10-day period is now over. The advertisers and agencies can now enter into bilateral discussions with the various channels to seek compensation of what may have been the loss to them."
Needless to say, which advertiser or agency would ask which channel for whatever compensation would finally be decided as per the ratings from TAM Media Research that would indicate the viewership drop in the repeat telecasts. If aMap data had to be referred at all, the drop is significant.
The step to air repeats only from November 10 was taken to expedite the process of resolving the dispute between FWICE and the producers that had led to an interruption in the supply of content on Hindi general entertainment channels. The only channel that could air original content was Colors for its show 'Bigg Boss', given the nature of the show.
Even before the broadcasters had stopped the commissioning of fresh episodes, there were many slots on Hindi GECs that were airing repeat content. The big question when the decision to air repeats was taken was what would be the reaction of advertisers who have shelled out big monies to reach audiences on the Hindi GECs.

Without any background in movement training Kino MacGregor tried her first yoga class when she was nineteen. Three years later, she joined Govinda Kai's Mysore-style classes in New York City and became a dedicated Ashtanga yoga practitioner. After seven months of traditional Ashtanga practice Kino traveled to Mysore, India to meet her true teacher, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois ("Guruji"). Upon her return she began real self-practice by practicing alone and devoting herself entirely to the study and teaching of Ashtanga yoga. After seven years of consistent trips to Mysore, at the age of 29, she received from Guruji the Certification to teach Ashtanga yoga and has since worked to pass on the inspiration to practice to countless others.
After spending a major portion of her life actively engaged in personal growth work, Kino returned to Miami Beach to create a space dedicated to the integration of yoga, holistic health and consciousness. In 2006, she and her husband Tim Feldmann founded Miami Life Center, a community built around yoga, holistic health and consciousness on Miami Beach www.miamilifecenter.com. Kino has produced six Ashtanga yoga DVDs (Kino MacGregor – A Journey, A Workshop; Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series; Ashtanga Yoga Intermediate Series; Ashtanga Yoga Third Series; Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga; Beginners Ashtanga Yoga) and numerous full length videos for online platforms. Sacred Fire, Kino's first book, was published in June 2012 by Harmony Publishers UK and chronicles her personal discovery of Ashtanga Yoga and the spiritual path. Kino's second book, The Power of Ashtanga Yoga, published May 2013, is a detailed exploration of the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga. Her third book, The Power of Ashtanga Yoga II, under contract with Shambhala Publishers to be released in 2015, is a detailed exploration of the Second Series of Ashtanga Yoga. Her writing regularly appears in Huffington Post, Mind Body Green, Elephant Journal, MyYogaOnline/Gaiam, Do You Yoga and Yoga Magazine.
Each year she visits Europe, Asia and the Americas sometimes traveling to more than 30 different cities in 15 different countries to share the message of Ashtanga Yoga. Passionate about the environment, ethical fashion and conscious consumerism she believes that if everyone on Earth practiced yoga we would have a more peaceful planet. With a Master's Degree from New York University, Kino integrates her commitment to consciousness, lifelong learning and empowerment with her yoga teaching.

2013 Trunk Or Treat
Last Friday was Trunk or Treat at the kids school and of course we had to decorate our trunk! I really had no idea what to do for a trunk theme, I really wanted to do a Disney Princess theme, but... Nathan didn't want that. Autumn didn't really seem to care, SO I decided to do a skeleton theme. I decided this, because Grandma Mary bought Nathan a 5' skeleton at Walgreens and Nathan has been in LOVE with it. SO, I decided the main focus would be 'Skelly' and we would go from there.
Brian, of course decided to carve THREE pumpkins to make a skeleton pumpkin! And, yes they were real pumpkins (several people asked).
We also had Skelly holding a skeleton walking stick that Nathan purchased at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, skeleton garland, skeleton lanterns, skeleton this and that. It is amazing how much skeleton crud there is out there.
Well, we won SECOND place, which is what we got last year (and in 2010 we won third place). YAY! The prize was a $15.00 iTunes gift card, you sure can't beat that!
Brian even found a skeleton MASK! He made one little girl cry, awwwhhh. I promise he's really not all that scary. ha!
Here are the kids by the car... not the best picture, but at least I got them to stand still for 5 seconds... better then no picture at all, right?!
This was Nathan's scout leaders trunk, but I must say, "C'MON CARDINALS, LETS WIN THIS WORLD SERIES!!!!!" :)
So, I thought it'd be fun to go back and look at previous Trunk or Treat decorations we have done.

Blagojevich Will Not Testify In Corruption Case
Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor turned radio host turned reality TV personality, is on trial for trying to cash in on President Obama's former Senate seat. Chicago Tribune political correspondent Rick Pearson shares highlights from the trial.
NEAL CONAN, host:
An expletive-laced drama has unfolded in the federal courthouse in Chicago over the past couple of weeks. Rod Blagojevich, the former governor of Illinois-turned radio host-turned reality TV personality, is on trial on charges that include attempts to sell President Obama's former Senate seat.
The prosecution rested its case last week after airing hours of, well colorful - FBI wiretaps. They did not cast the defendant in an especially flattering light. Today, Blagojevich would get the chance he's demanded since impeachment: To set the record straight.
(Soundbite of interview)
Mr. ROD BLAGOJEVICH (Former Democratic Governor, Illinois): You know, I can't wait to begin to tell my side of the story, and to address you guys, and most importantly, the people of Illinois. That's who I'm dying to talk to. Hang loose. Hang in there. I can't wait to talk to you.
CONAN: And the big news from Chicago today: For once, Blagojevich is not talking. If you have questions about the trial and its ramifications for the November election in Illinois, give us a call: 800-989-8255. Email: email@example.com. You can also join the conversation on our website. That's at npr.org, click on TALK OF THE NATION.
And here to catch us up on all the courtroom drama, is Chicago Tribune political correspondent Rick Pearson. He joins us from member station WBEZ in Chicago. Nice to have you back on the program.
Mr. RICK PEARSON (Political Correspondent, Chicago Tribune): Thank you very much, Neal.
CONAN: And everybody thought, all along, that Governor Blagojevich would be testifying on his own behalf.
Mr. PEARSON: Well, if you remember, he basically went to every rooftop that had - and mountaintop - that had a TV camera to proclaim his innocence. And how he couldn't wait to specifically address these hours and hours and hours of secretly conducted wiretaps of his campaign phone and his personal phone, which basically was the thrust of the federal prosecution's case.
CONAN: As of Monday, the former governor went out of his way - he approached spectators outside the courtroom and said loudly, show of hands, anyone here planning on testifying? Then he thrusts his one hand high in the air.
Mr. PEARSON: Well, you know, this is - even today, after the prosecution rested, Blagojevich was in the courtroom signing autographs until the federal marshals told him he couldn't do that. I mean, it's one big campaign season for this guy.
CONAN: And the jury knows that he planned to testify, because in the opening statement, his lawyer said, I'm telling you now, he's going to testify. He's not going to let some chubby, four-eyed lawyer do his talking for him.
Mr. PEARSON: Well - and I think that's why this is a very interesting strategy that they're using, because of the fact, you know, not only was the jury told that specifically, but they were also told - I mean, they've seen the TV shows that he went on, from coast to coast, that he wanted to get on the stand. He wanted to tell his story and play every tape. And, in fact, now, because of his refusal to testify, his choice not to testify, none of the tapes that could be considered mitigating can be entered into evidence.
CONAN: And it was interesting, apparently, the - his attorneys approached the judge yesterday and said they were planning not to call any witnesses. And the judge said, why don't you go sleep on this?
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. PEARSON: Well - and really what was interesting is the fact that the chief legal counsel for Blagojevich's defense is a father-and-son team - Sam Adam Sr., Sam Adam Jr. And they were actually divided over whether Blagojevich should testify. The - Sam Adam Sr. was the one who said that Blagojevich shouldn't testify.
Sam Adam Jr., who's very demonstrative in the courtroom and really a fixture in a lot of local trials in Chicago, he was the one that helped encouraged Blagojevich, really, to stay public and wanted him to testify. And even today, he said, he's prepared to testify. It just came down to the fact that the defense believes that the federal government didn't prove its case.
CONAN: The defense may also have believed - and I don't mean to put words in their mouths - but it might be a tough go for the former governor on the witness stand. He said a lot of things in those tapes which would make a - it a difficult interrogation when the federal prosecutors got their chance to cross-examine. And we should point out: it is unusual - rare, even - for defendants to testify on their own behalf, for exactly that reason.
Mr. PEARSON: That's exactly right. And there was the great assumption that if Blagojevich should testify, this could have gone, you know, more than a week through both direct and cross-examination. But there's also a factor here, too, of strategy. The federal government was very quick in presenting their case.
And in fact, basically what occurred was that a convicted influence peddler named Tony Rezko and a convicted embezzler named Stuart Levine, were basically - apparently held in reserve by the federal prosecutors, and they were planning to use those men to rebut any kind of proclamation from Blagojevich from the witness stand, that, no, this was a clean administration, that no crimes occurred.
Now, you've taken those two people off the table and questions are kind of arising as to whether, you know, the defense basically called the federal governments bluff. And did the federal government complete the whole case that they had on the table?
CONAN: Ken?
KEN: Rick, two things. First of all, if you remember Blagojevich during his impeachment and trial in the Illinois State Senate, I mean, he was kind of like rambling and kind of nutty during that old thing. So, perhaps maybe the defense said, the last thing we want is a repeat performance of that.
Mr. PEARSON: Well, you know, certainly - and this holds true from even during his tenure as governor is when Blagojevich stays on his talking points, his very solid. But if you get him off the cue cards, that's kind of the guy that you saw. But also remember, too, during his impeachment trial, Blagojevich was not going to testify in that. And on the final day, he decided to come to Springfield and testify without the prospect of facing examination by the prosecution there in the impeachment trial - and then basically rushed home from Springfield to Chicago before he was impeached and he lost the right to use the state airplane.
CONAN: Mm-hmm. And of course, he did not sway many of those jurors in Springfield.
Mr. PEARSON: Swayed no jurors. And in fact, is barred, permanently, from seeking public office in Illinois.
CONAN: Let's get some callers in on the conversation. Our guest is Rick Pearson, political correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. Phil(ph) calling us from Hebron, Illinois.
PHIL (Caller): Yes, sir. I'm calling from the state where Lincoln spins in his grave daily. I want to know if Rick - I read his paper daily - and I want to know if he had heard the comment that Mike Monaco, the defense attorney out of Chicago, made, that the governor's brother was basically run through a meat grinder and didn't kind of (technical difficulties) well, and his defense attorneys didn't feel it'd be advantageous for him to be put in the same meat grinder, if this is the only choice they had.
CONAN: We should point out, the governor's brother as a codefendant in the trial, but go ahead.
Mr. PEARSON: Right, and the governor's brother, Robert Blagojevich. And indeed the governor - the former governor's defense team, has said that they believed that the former governor's brother did a pretty good job of defending the family name there. And that there, you know, certainly where concerns about having them - having Rod Blagojevich testify and where he might spin off to.
CONAN: Phil, thanks very much. Let's go to a tape. This is Blagojevich speaking at a news conference today, explaining why he felt it was not necessary to take the stand.
(Soundbite of news conference)
Mr. ROD BLAGOJEVICH (Former Governor, Illinois): Sam Adam Sr.'s most compelling argument, and ultimately the one that swayed me, was that the government, in their case, proved my innocence. They proved I did nothing illegal, and that there was nothing further for us to add. And that he believed it was prudent to rest the case, and when you rest the case, that means you can't take the stand and testify.
CONAN: And that's former Governor Blagojevich, talking today. Let me add this email from James(ph) in Tucson. I've heard it's generally good news for the defense, if it declines to present a case, doesn't that suggest the prosecution case isn't nearly as strong as they suggested it was. Is that correct?
Mr. PEARSON: Well, as I said, the prosecution did leave some things on the table here, by not bringing up the fact that you had these two convicted witnesses that were prepared to testify. And again, you know, this was a trial that everybody basically believed was going to last four or five months. And here we are, about seven weeks, and we're facing the prospect of closing the arguments on Monday. There's been a lot of questions about, did the federal government really go too quickly here.
CONAN: Ken?
KEN: Well, Rick, following up on that. I mean, obviously the Democrats were scared to death of the long-protracted trial because they have a hotly contested Senate and gubernatorial race. I suspect that a quick trial is good news for the Democratic Party.
Mr. PEARSON: Ken, that was the first thing I thought of when I heard about this, because, you know, as I said, when you talk about a month-long trial, that puts it smack-dab in the middle of, you know, the Labor Day, post-Labor Day start of the traditional campaign season. And already you've had Republicans who have basically been in political exile in Illinois since the conviction of the previous governor, George Ryan, a Republican. Republicans now seeing Blagojevich as kind of their hope to be able to get that Senate seat back, get the governors office back, one that Blagojevich took after 26 years of Republican governors.
CONAN: Here's an email we have from Peter(ph) in Iowa City. Is it possible that Blago's lawyers are not really gunning for an acquittal, but are instead trying to ride out an appeal based on the Supreme Court's recent ruling, restricting the honest services clause used in public interest prosecutions? And - Rick, I don't know if you've been following that, but as I recall, there was some speculations immediately afterwards, that no, the governor of Illinois could not expect to hold a lot of benefit from that Supreme Court ruling.
Mr. PEARSON: No, indeed the - actually Blagojevich's defense, at one time, tried to ask for a delay in the trial until the Supreme Court ruled on the honest services aspects of it. And the Federal prosecutors re-indicted Blagojevich to specifically avoid any kind of counts based on honest services. The judge in the case was asked about this by the defense attorneys, and the judge said honest services are not part of this case.
CONAN: Let's go next to Danny(ph), Danny with us from Lexington, Kentucky.
DANNY (Caller): Hello. Glad to speak to you. You know, I'm kind of wondering if the state of Illinois holds the record, if Blagojevich goes to prison for, you know, governors that have been locked up by the federal government?
CONAN: Ken, is there a gubernatorial suite at Joliet?
Mr. PEARSON: Yeah, Danny, I think...
DANNY: Yeah, that makes you get a discount or something at a camp outside of Marion. You got Otto Kerner, I think, was up here in Lexington, Kentucky, I think, during his final years.
RUDIN: Danny, I suspect that people in Louisiana will - may criticize your analysis on that.
(Soundbite of laughter)
DANNY: Well, you know, unless we have a saying in Kentucky, about politics and it's, thanks God - thank God for Louisiana. And I think you could probably ad Illinois to that.
CONAN: Danny, thanks very much for the call. We're talking with Political Junkie Ken Rudin. Also with us, is Rick Pearson, political correspondent of The Chicago Tribune. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION, coming to you from NPR News.
And Rick, as you look back on the prosecution's cases, you said they may have left some elements on the table they were hoping to come back with later. But how strong do you think their case is?
Mr. PEARSON: Well, I mean, these tapes are pretty devastating. And, you know, while a lot of the attention of the Blagojevich trials focused on the allegation that he tried to sell the former Senate seat of Barack Obama for personal profit and political profit, there are still a number of - in these 24 counts, there's a number of elements here, regarding the fact that Blagojevich was allegedly trying to shake down the head of a children's hospital in exchange for state funding; to try to shake down Rahm Emanuel's brother to hold a fundraiser in exchange for school funding; and then-Congressman Emanuel's congressional district, to shake down road contractors and basically to see what - how much money they'd give to determine what size of road programs should be done for the Illinois Toll Highway Authority.
CONAN: There was also a race track that was trying to get back...
Mr. PEARSON: Correct.
CONAN: ...in business, and they were being shaken down as well, allegedly.
Mr. PEARSON: In exchange for legislation that would be beneficial to help the race - horseracing industry in Illinois.
CONAN: Let's go next to Jeff(ph), Jeff with us from Superior in Wisconsin.
JEFF (Caller): Yes, good afternoon, gentlemen. I voted for Rod Blagojevich when I lived in Chicago, and I think he has done a lot for the people in Illinois. I wish I could vote for him again, actually. I think we need people that can get results. And I think he's going to be exonerated. I think he'll be found not guilty of these crimes. And it's a new day in Illinois politics, so I just think it's going to be a historic moment.
CONAN: Have you followed the case closely, Jeff?
JEFF: Oh, yeah. It's like an episode in "Boston Legal." I can't wait - I would love to see Denny Crane do the closing argument. I mean, it's great for politics in America. It's dramatic. It's exceptional. We've seen them on Donald Trump's program. I mean, but I think when it all plays out, I think it's going to be a lesson for all of us that, you know, in order to get results in our government, sometimes, you go to play the political game.
CONAN: Well...
Mr. PEARSON: Unfortunately, some of those results were the fact that the state of Illinois is now - it's tottering on bankruptcy, $13 billion state deficit, over $5 billion in unpaid bills, the least funded public pension system in the United States. And these were all a result of decisions that basically started under Rod Blagojevich.
JEFF: Well, there was a lot of black people, I know, that really appreciate the things he did; and a lot of senior citizens who don't have to pay for public transportation. And they...
Mr. PEARSON: And in fact, there's a great tape that was on election night that was recorded by the federal government, filled with expletives, where Blagojevich is lamenting how Barack Obama has now passed him up as a supreme politician from Illinois and complains that he gave her grandmother a free bus ride, I gave your baby health care. Thirteen percent - which was his job approval rating at the time - and basically told voters to perform an act on themselves.
CONAN: Jeff, thanks very much for the call. Appreciate it.
What would happen in the event of an acquittal? If the governor, if the ex-governor is found not guilty, how does his status change?
Mr. PEARSON: Well, I don't think it changes at all. I mean, the fact is he has been impeached. It was a unanimous vote of the Illinois State Senate and also a separate vote that barred him from ever seeking public office in Illinois ever again. That doesn't change. There is no appeals process for impeachment. I mean, it's a constitutional standard in the state of Illinois.
I mean, I - certainly, I assume that we'll do something to further enhance his profile for, you know, the various reality shows and his Chicago talk show on radio.
CONAN: Did the prosecution's evidence include some of the governor's former aides, saying, yes, we were told to do this?
Mr. PEARSON: Well, indeed, a lot of the prosecution case was the fact that these were aides that actually became very profitable lobbyists, largely due to the fact of Blagojevich being governor - the insider access that they were allowed. His former chief of staff, I mean, a college room mate, Alonzo "Lon" Monk, was one of those.
John Wyma, who was a former chief of staff when Blagojevich was a congressman, who said he earned a million dollars the first year that Blagojevich became governor. All these people testifying the fact they wanted to continue to maintain that access, and so that they didn't necessarily questioned some of the harebrained schemes that he was proposing.
CONAN: Several of them accepting lesser sentences in return for their testimony.
Mr. PEARSON: Or just getting a grant of immunity to testify. Monk, however, his chief of staff, has a plea agreement.
CONAN: And Rod Blagojevich's brother, how many charges does he face?
Mr. PEARSON: He has not faced as many. As I recall, it was about a handful of charges. And frankly, most observers' kind of view, if there is a weak part of - in the prosecution of what Rob Blagojevich really will face here.
CONAN: Well, Rick Pearson, thank you very much for your time today. We can't wait for the closing arguments on Monday.
Mr. PEARSON: They'll be very interesting. Thanks, Neal.
CONAN: You got to get the federal court to change its mind about providing audio tapes of this stuff.
Rick Pearson is political correspondent for The Chicago Tribune. He joined us today from the studios of member station WBEZ. As always, we thank Political Junkie Ken Rudin, with us every Wednesday, here on TALK OF THE NATION.

Jahmino: budding dancehall and afro-pop artiste uncovered
Fast-rising dancehall and afro-pop artiste, Samuel Narh, who goes by the stage name "Jahmino" is the new big thing on the entertainment block.
The Osu-based show stopper has survived the tough blocks that most upcoming or better still "under-ground" artistes are faced with and he is now poised to take his hustle to a new level.
The versatile dancehall and afro-pop artiste, who has been in the music business for close to a decade, is poised to stir up the flames of the ever-popular dancehall genre with his flair, creativity and fascinating stage craft.
The multi-talented artiste disclosed to the B&FT Weekend in an exclusive interview that he has what it takes to be at the higher sides of the music scene having survived and learned from the struggles and tough experiences as an "under-ground artiste".
Jahmino, who discovered his talent at a very young age, currently boasts more than 20 songs which he intends to compile into an album.
Dance-song "Kelewa", a sure banger and the poster song off his soon to be released album will bring onto the music scene a new dance that can rival the likes of "Azonto" and other trending dance moves this festive season and beyond.
Jahmino said of the song: "With Kelewa, I'm hoping to bring onto the music scene a new and unique dance. I believe that dancing has a way of helping to release stress aside being an entertaining act."
Jahmino's describes his kind of music to be a unique blend of his soothing voice and strong command over the raggae/dancehall genre.
"What makes my music unique is the fact that I'm not easily predictable; I always try as much as possible to perfect my arts both on stage and in the studio because I believe that is one way of staying relevant in the music scene," Jahmino told the B&FT Weekend.
As an up and coming entertainer, Jahmino keeps mastering his stage craft by pulling together colleague musicians for shows most of which are sponsored by him.
He narrates: "I believe I have to do something to push myself up the music ladder so there are times I bring together my fellow upcoming musicians to have a show of our own."
In the next few years, the promising musician wants to be popular on the lips of both entertainers and revelers alike.
"In the next few years, I want to see myself as a top artiste; and it will happen for sure. My fans should expect hit songs; music of the choice and nothing else", he said.

Coming into Sunday's matchup between the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco at Candlestick Park, the Panthers were the team with the bigger questions and doubts. They had a four-game winning streak, but the teams they had beaten had a total of five wins combined between them. How would they fare against better competition? It was a fair question, one that was not asked of the 49ers, who were also coming into the game on a roll, winning five straight games. Although their strength of schedule was not that much more difficult at all, they are a proven contender in the NFC, coming off last season's Super Bowl appearance. I actually happened to be in San Francisco this past weekend and bought tickets to the game, as it would be my last chance to visit historic Candlestick Park. As the game approached, the 49ers faithful at the tailgates were confident to the point of overlooking the Panthers. They were lining up to get into the stadium, even people showing up to the parking lots without tickets and negotiating with scalpers. Vendors were selling T-shirts with pictures bidding farewell to their stadium and its rich history. One that stuck in my mind had pictures of Joe Montana and Steve Young next to Colin Kaepernick kissing his bicep, in a space designated for quarterbacking legends. As if Kaepernick was already at that level, but I have been skeptical about his coronation since he became the darling of the NFL during last year's playoff run and through the offseason. And I was skeptical about this game, which had the makings of an upset. The Panthers were an emerging young group that was lacking a signature victory in the Ron Rivera and Cam Newton era. They had the opportunity on Sunday to showcase their underrated defense and talented young quarterback against a more established defense in a game that could prove to have major long-term implications when it comes to playoff positioning. And they did just that, grinding their way to a 10-9 road victory, completely shutting down Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco offense. Here are my five biggest takeaways after yesterday's outcome. 1. The Carolina defense is not just good, it is great. Like top 2 or 3 in the NFL great, dominant on the edges and up the middle. Outstanding in coverage and well-disciplined, the Panthers have an attacking unit that consistently forces turnovers and allows their offense to feel less pressure to put up points. They sacked Colin Kaepernick six times and held him to 62 yards of total offense. The Panthers shut out the 49ers in the second half, holding the entire team to under 50 yards as they rallied from a 9-0 deficit. Star linebacker and defensive leader, Luke Kuechly, was all over the field as always, with 11 solo tackles and a sack. 2. Colin Kaepernick has a lot of work to do as a passer. His ugly stat line does not tell the whole story. He could not escape the Carolina pass rush, his passes were off-target and in his last opportunity to drive his team into field goal range to potentially win the game, he inexcusably took a sack when they had no timeouts left and threw an interception that had no chance of being caught by his intended target. There will be days like this in any young quarterback's development process, but there have been more than anyone expected this season for Kaepernick. Although he has provided more explosive plays than his predecessor Alex Smith, a 56 percent completion rate and spotty win-loss record against good competition this year is causing some San Francisco fans to wonder where they would be with the departed Smith, who owns a 9-0 record himself in Kansas City.3. Cam is learning to close out games, and his potential is still limitless. Cam Newton has had a completely different career arc as his fellow 2011 draft classmate Colin Kaepernick. He was drafted by the worst team in the NFL with the first pick, and enjoyed instant success statistically, but his team struggled and his individual achievements were overshadowed by the team's unimpressive record, particularly in games decided by one score or less, in which their record was 2-14 since 2011. Kaepernick was a sparingly used backup as a rookie, but the 49ers traded up in the second round for the pistol quarterback from Nevada and had long-term plans for him. Similar in size and skill-set to Newton, he took over for Alex Smith halfway through his second season and never looked back, winning big games and providing memorable highlights well into the playoffs. Kaepernick was hyped incessantly over the offseason as the NFL's next superstar quarterback, to the point of overlooking Cam's greatness. But once Cam's defense caught up to the 49ers, evaluators would have a better basis for comparison between the two mobile quarterbacks. And so far this season, in Kaepernick's first as a starter, the growth and maturation that Newton endured in his first two seasons is on full display, as he finally won a close game against a great team by making a few key first downs late. He has outperformed Kaepernick in every statistical category and despite continually dealing with dropped balls and limited skill position talent around him, Cam Newton has learned to maintain his composure and is primed to lead the Panthers to the playoffs and beyond. 4. The 49ers' offense is lost without Vernon Davis. He missed a game with injury earlier in the season, and they lost to the Colts at home and only scored 7 points. The talented tight end is having one of his best seasons, but Kaepernick's reliance on him could make them vulnerable to defenses looking to scheme against the 49ers. He left Sunday's game with a concussion and will have to undergo mandatory tests to be cleared for next week's game at New Orleans. Davis is a matchup nightmare for any defense and simply cannot be covered by any linebacker and most safeties. But he is the most explosive weapon in the San Francisco passing game, which is not typical of a tight end. That might say more about the lack of talent on the 49ers than Davis himself, but with Michael Crabtree and Mario Manningham making their way back from injuries, perhaps the offense will be able to diversify and open things up for other players besides VD.5. Steve Smith is still a go-to wide receiver. Though he has lost a step over the years, Steve Smith can still be relied upon for a big catch on third down. Generally on third downs, a quarterback looks for his security blanket in the form of a oversized tight end with soft hands that can make a tough catch over the middle, or a shifty slot receiver who can run a quick hot route after an audible at the line. Smith has never fit the mold of an NFL wide receiver. At five-foot nine, Smith is generally split wide, and lined up against the opposing team's best cover man. A fiery veteran leader, Smitty is so intense that he has been in numerous fights with teammates, as well as opponents. But he is the perfect locker room influence for this young team, a franchise icon who has been to the Super Bowl and knows what it takes to get back. He made two clutch catches on the sidelines late in yesterday's victory, knowing exactly where the first down marker was and snatching the passes out of the air with his hands, one of the trademark moves that has defined his career.He has been with the Panthers throughout their peaks and valleys since 2001, and is thrilled to be part of a contender again.

A certain someone is bleating on about all the things that are wrong in their life, but it will soon dawn on you that their main problem is that they're drowning in self-pity. Blame it on Mercury retrograde! Now, make sure that you don't start playing them at their own game, because all this 'poor little me' stuff will be surprisingly infectious.

Confusion reigns today, so beware... Mercury is retrograde! You're so susceptible at the moment that you'll be heavily influenced by what people tell you, even if you'd normally ignore every word they say. Concentrate on creative matters, in which you'll excel, and ignore anything that calls for careful thought, because that isn't the way your mind is working.

Trust in what you believe, dear Gemini, because someone is giving you the wrong information. Since Mercury is now retrograde, they might just have accidentally got a story back to front, or may be deliberately trying to pull the wool over your eyes. There could also be confusion when dealing with an official body or company, so take care.

Communications have a nasty habit of going crazy today, leaving you worried, confused and wondering what on earth is going on. Well, it's because Mercury is now retrograde. Someone may swear that they're giving you the facts, while all the time they're telling you a pack of lies, or they might be economical with the truth and omit to give you some rather important information. Try to avoid reaching any sort of agreement because you may not know what you're agreeing to.

You're usually no slouch when it comes to thinking about money, but it's a different story today because something seems to have happened to your brain. Yes, Mercury is retrograde! You're reluctant to face unpleasant facts and are doing your best to paint every situation in the rosiest light possible. This means it isn't a good day for making any financial decisions because they might carry a risk or not work out for you.

Mercury is now retrograde in Virgo. Do your best to make yourself clear when talking to people, because there's a strong possibility of wires being crossed and folks getting hold of the wrong end of the stick. Even if you have something difficult to say it would be better to be honest rather than to hedge your bets and tell a few white lies. This isn't a good day for being even remotely dishonest.

Be careful when dealing with anyone who has a martyr complex because they'll go overboard today, as Mercury turns in picky Virgo. They seem to think they're a saint in human form and they may go on (and on) about how much they've suffered, as though that somehow makes them better than everyone else. You long to give them a piece of your mind, but do you have the courage to risk making them cry?

Don't believe everything you hear today, as Mercury turns tail for a retro phase. Someone may not be honest or straight with you, or you might be listening very subjectively and only hearing what you want to hear. If you're trying to sort out a glitch in your relationship with a certain person, this is not a good day to do it. There's too much scope for confusion and crossed wires. It can wait until tomorrow.

If you want to make life easy for yourself you should avoid getting involved in any important or complex discussions today because Mercury has just turned tail. They could easily go wrong in some way, perhaps because someone doesn't explain matters properly or wrongly assumes that everyone knows what they're talking about. You should also try to avoid signing on any dotted lines, because contracts and agreements may contain mistakes or snags that you aren't aware of at the moment but which will come to light later on when it's too late to back down. So watch out!

It's hard to get at the truth today, partly because you're in a bit of a state and partly because other people aren't being as straightforward as you'd like. Mercury is entering a retrograde phase, so be especially wary of anyone who insists they're telling you the truth because it probably means that they aren't. Watch out, too, for anyone who wants to brainwash you into signing up to their own set of beliefs, whether these are religious, political or environmental.

Watch what you spend your money on as Mercury turns tail and starts a retrograde phase. Although you've normally got your head screwed on when it comes to your finances, you don't seem to be nearly so grounded and practical today. In fact, you could easily get talked into buying things you don't want or need. There's a faint chance that you might be swindled by someone who takes advantage of you, so be on your guard.

Be careful about who and what you believe as Mercury stations starting a retrograde phase, because not everyone is telling you the truth. Some might say things that they think you want to hear, even though they're divorced from all the facts, or they could get carried away when telling you something and end up making it up as they go along. You must also take care to say what you mean and not give anyone a false impression.

They'll spend 54 hours pitching ideas, forming teams and, most importantly, building what could be the next big thing in Ed Tech. They'll be joined by expert coaches to help them and have an endless supply of caffiene and food to fuel their work.
I've helped organize two Triangle Startup Weekends before, but this will be the Triangle's first Startup Weekend focused on education. I have no idea exactly what will come of it, but I'm excited because I think this weekend can be the beginning of a lasting movement to spark our local Ed Tech community.
Joining an International Movement
The Triangle has a unique blend and density of world class universities and a highly educated population, but we're not alone in our struggles to reform our education system. The need for reform in education is well documented and universal. This weekend, the Triangle will join an international community of entrepreneurs and educators working together to change the institution of education and learning as we know it.
There have been education focused startup weekends hosted all across the world, including in Delhi, London, Northern Virginia, NYC, San Francisco, and Seattle. At the recent SW EDU in London, a team launched Musomic, startup that designs and creates graphic novels with music to help children with literacy. In Northern Virginia, a team created Pigeon, a tool that simplifies communication between English-speaking teachers and non-English-speaking parents.
Anyone and Everyone
One of my favorite things about Startup Weekend is its unique ability to democratize entrepreneurship. For one weekend, everyone can participate, regardless of age, gender, race and background. Committing for 54 hours is a lot less risky than quitting your day job.
And that's important, because we all have a shared desire to see our education system become more effective. Whether you're a parent, a student, or an interested member of the community, there's an important role for you to play at Triangle Startup Weekend EDU. It's that diversity of background, experience, and opinion that makes for the most effective approach and customer validation for the teams.
Lasting impact
In addition to launching companies, participants walk away with new skills and an understanding and passion for innovating education. Educators walk away with an entrepreneurial mindset they can take to their classrooms and schools. Entrepreneurs walk away with an understanding of the types of problems our educators face and the inspiration to continue working to solve those problems.
If you haven't signed up, we have a few slots left. You can find more information and register on the Triangle Startup Weekend website.

I received an email saying my 15 forms are grandfathered in but now when I try to use the link it says the form is over it's quota or something similar and won't allow me to use any forms.

Hello sweetlifememories,
It seems that the cause of the form's overlimit was not due to the forms but due to the payments you have received.

CHENNAI: Renowned playback singer S P Balasubramanyam, popularly called as SPB, Sunday vowed that he would never render any song of Tamil music director Ilayaraja in future after the latter shot off a legal notice to his longtime friend for singing his compositions at a concert in US without his consent.
''In any stage in future, I will never render any of his songs'', SPB tweeted, responding to the legal notice from Ilayaraja. SPB had recently rendered some of the hit songs that he sang for Ilayaraja, at a concert in Los Angeles and for which, the latter has sent a legal notice to the organisers and the singer.
In the legal notice, the music composer said they did not get any prior permission from him for rendering his songs and have to pay a heavy penalty for their act. In his Facebook post, SPB wrote, 'I was surprised when I got a legal notice from Ilayaraja for the concert we performed in USA''. ''My son S P Charan organised a series of music shows across the world to celebrate my 50 years in cinema and we have been performing at Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and USA'', SPB said. ''I wonder why problems arise only when we stage a show in USA'. 'I have no big knowledge about rules and laws'', he said. ''But after the notice was served on us, we have collectively decided not to sing his songs anymore on stage. I have sung for many other composers, which I will be performing on stage'', SPB said. He also appealed to all music-lovers not to make an issue out of this. It may be recalled that both SPB and Ilayaraja share a great rapport for over four decades and he has sung thousands of songs set to tunes by Ilayaraja since early 1980s. The duo have combined well to produce hundreds of hit songs which still captivates the audience.

I am glad the EPW has written an editorial on tuberculosis in India.
There is documentary evidence of the degeneration of the scientific basis of dealing with tubercul0sis as a public health problem in India. The outstanding research on TB in the past must not be forgotten by the authors of "Resource Optimisation for Tuberculosis Elimination in India" (EPW, 7 May 2016).
The political and bureaucratic "leadership" of India's public health services and programmes, unqualified and untrained for this role, has allowed foreign and international agencies to set the country's health agenda. In the process, while massive amounts are being pumped into health programmes, the health services have deteriorated and the poor continue to suffer.
It is good that you have drawn attention ("Evaluation of the Health Mission", 23 January 2010) to an account of the early operation (May 2005-December 2008) of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in the performance audit conducted by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
It is good that the EPW published a set of four articles (22 November) to mark 30 years of the Alma-Ata Declaration in 1978, which set the goal of "Health For All by 2000 AD".
The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) is based on questionable premises. The union ministry of health and family welfare and its advisors doggedly seem to refuse to learn from the many experiences of the past, both from sincere efforts to develop endogenous mechanisms and from the imposition of ill-conceived, badly formulated, techno-centric vertical programmes.
Simplistic Approach to Health Policy Analysis World Bank Team on Indian Health Sector Debabar Banerji A World Bank report on the health sector has set out to offer an alternative policy framework to cushion the impact of structural adjustment programmes on health services. But by choosing health financing as a tool for policy analysis it has arrived at highly questionable conclusions.

Adding a Heading Image.Asked by ACST on February 27, 2017 at 07:00 PM
Hi guys,
The last couple of days, i am not able to add a heading image to my forms.
I have tried all possible browsers, cleared the cache, reset browser settings all to no avail.
Whenever i click on the button to add an image, nothing happens.
Any ideas?
JotForm Support
I cloned one of your forms and tried to add a Header Image. I was able to add an image as you can see below:
If adding the image using the upload file button doesn't work, can you please try to add an image url instead?
I have already cleared your form's cache. Please check it on your end.
If issue still persists, do get us back.
