Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for Inter Press Service, discusses how Gen. David Petraeus's political skills and reputation could enable a compromise settlement in Afghanistan, speculation that Gen. Stanley McChrystal got fired on purpose, the August deadline for significant US troop reduction in Iraq and why even war boosters aren't talking about victory in Afghanistan anymore.
MP3 here. (18:33)
Gareth Porter is an independent historian and journalist. He is the author of Perils of Dominance: Imbalance of Power and the Road to War in Vietnam. His articles appear on Counterpunch, Huffington Post, Inter Press Service News Agency and Antiwar.com
Scott Horton interviews Gareth Porter June 29, 2010
Scott Horton: All right, y'all, welcome back to the show. It's Antiwar Radio. I'm Scott Horton, and I've got Gareth Porter on the phone. He's an independent historian and journalist, writes for Inter Press Service, and we feature just about every bit of it at original.antiwar.com/porter, and, well, first of all, Gareth, welcome back to the show.
Gareth Porter: Hello again, Scott.
Horton: And it looks like you have one here at ForeignPolicy.com, "Why Petraeus Won't Salvage This War." And that's our footnote for the day, for starters anyway, and there are a lot of footnotes hyperlinked inside the article, of course, as well. But I want to start with something that I don't think you address in here, but it's been on a lot of people's mind, and I know it's been on your mind, the idea that this guy McChrystal is too smart by half, obviously, and that he knew good and well that when he spilled his guts to Michael Hastings that he was going to get himself in trouble and that's why he did it, because, you know, I guess, simplest explanation: Afghanistan's falling apart and he would prefer it happen on someone else's watch. That way he can say, "Gee, if only I'd been there, it would have worked out."
Porter: Well, you know, I can't completely dismiss that idea at all, and I haven't looked into it as deeply as I would like to. But one thing that struck me is that some of the juiciest quotes in that article are taking place in Paris at a NATO meeting. And that actually goes back to mid April, which, from my understanding of the sequence of events, is a bit early for McChrystal to have reached the point where he saw that it was completely a lost cause. I have a feeling that that may have happened much later, that is to say May and early June, rather than in April. So that's just a caveat that I have about the thesis. I don't dismiss it yet, I'm interested in it, but I am sort of curious about the timing of some of the juicy quotes there that would suggest to me that they were still in a mode that was not yet desperate, as they I think would become later on.
Horton: Well, what was it, was there something particularly that happened in May, like they looked at Marja and said, "Geez, we can't even take a town that's half the size we said it was."
Porter: Well, you have basically the whole story of Kandahar becoming so much more serious, much more basically a problem that they couldn't solve. They basically realized, I think, in May and June, that they could not basically get the government, both local and national, to go along with a major troop increment in Kandahar, and that's what they were still expecting by early May. They were still planning to do that in early May. And I think that that was really the straw that broke the camel's back. I think that it was the realization that they could not carry out the offensive that they had planned at Kandahar, that really taught McChrystal that he could not deliver on what he had promised. And so by the end of that I would be prepared to say, yes indeed, that he was ready to find a way out, because it was truly a desperate situation for him.
Horton: So, this is the kind of thing he would have done, except that the timing just doesn't seem to fit.
Porter: Well, at least, you know, all I'm saying is that the quotes that have gotten some of the biggest play did take place pretty early for this thesis to be most persuasive, that's all.
Horton: Yeah. Well, and in fact the article itself doesn't portray him as – I mean Hastings quotes him talking about Marja being a bleeding ulcer and all that, but he and his crew don't sound all that hopeless in the actual article.
Porter: Well that's what's interesting to me, in part, is that what you don't find in the article is an admission of any sort by the McChrystal inner circle, or certainly by McChrystal himself, that this is indeed a desperate situation, that they were really taken aback by a whole series of developments, particularly of course the inability to mount the offensive in Kandahar. That would have, to me, made it certainly much more persuasive that he was indeed looking for a way out by sort of taking the soft route out, if you will, of sort of going down in flames, making comments that he should have known certainly would have raised the specter of being fired.
Horton: All right, now, to this piece in Foreign Policy, "Why Petraeus Won't Salvage This War," we're featuring of course in the Viewpoint section today on Antiwar.com, and is it fair to say that this article revolves around the piece in the Independent on Sunday, the London Independent, talked about McChrystal's last classified assessment of the war?
Porter: Well I think that's one piece of it. What that means is that Petraeus knows already, as he goes into this confirmation hearing today, that there isn't going to be any progress in the next six months, that's what McChrystal was saying in his last assessment, classified assessment. He knows that he really can't deliver on any promise to make progress in those six months, and that suggests to me that he is well aware that he either has to find a way to finesse this similarly to the way he finessed the, or planned to finesse the Iraq war, by basically saying that he's going to report back to the president whether the strategy can work or not, or is working, I should say, is working or not, within a matter of some months, and if it isn't working, he will say so, and will call for withdrawal. Now he has not said that, apparently, in his confirmation hearing thus far. He has been hewing to a line that tries to suggest that, you know, we're still going to follow the basic lines of the strategy.
But I know for a fact that Petraeus is telling folks that he is inviting to come onto his staff in Afghanistan that the first order of business will be a complete review and reappraisal of the strategy, knowing that they cannot deliver on what the McChrystal, and one could say very well the McChrystal-Petraeus, strategy that was adopted late last year has promised. So I think that, although he's publicly continuing to emphasize or implying certainly continuity of strategy, I think that in fact he is planning to make a major overhaul and that as part of that, at least privately, I think that he is going to be saying to the White House, "We're going to have to give this a period of time and then reevaluate it at the end of the year." And of course there is already this formal evaluation or reevaluation that's scheduled for December. I think that Petraeus is going to take advantage of that, assuming, as I believe is certainly going to be the case, that he is going to find that the strategy is not working, that he will report that to the president and make recommendations or allow the president to take the heat, perhaps, but certainly go on record as saying that this can't continue. And I'm basing that again on the historical record, which is not well known, because it's never been published, that in fact he told his staff in Iraq, in Baghdad, in early 2007, that we will give this strategy, the new strategy, the counterinsurgency strategy, six months, see if it works; if it's not working when I have to give my first congressional testimony in September of 2007, I will say that it's not working and we will have to recommend that we'll have to leave.
Horton: Okay, well, you know, obviously he's a self-interested guy. If the war is completely unwinnable, he doesn't want to be the guy who completely unwon it, and I guess he would rather, I could see the argument that he would rather cut and run toward the beginning, try to make a deal and get out of there, than fight on and on and then still lose, just for his own political ambitions later or his place in history or whatever like that. But you know I'm still kind of conflicted about this Iraq example. Because after all, Gareth, I mean, he failed in Iraq and then he still said we won anyway, when all he did was kind of bribe everybody to put off killing each other until he could get out of the place.
Porter: Well, of course. That's exactly what he did. He claimed credit for things that he had no control over which happened, which allowed him to push forward that narrative. I agree. What I think is clear, however, in the case of Afghanistan, is that there is no such break that he's going to get.
Horton: Right. All right, hang tight, everybody. Gareth Porter. We'll be right back.
Horton: All right, y'all, welcome back to the show. It's Antiwar Radio, I'm Scott Horton, and I'm on the phone with the great Gareth Porter, and he's making the case that due to his own self-interested avarice, Gen. Petraeus might end up covering, with his heroic credibility as the heroic victor of Iraq, an exit from Afghanistan. Now, here's my problem with that, Gareth. It seems to me like the neocons wanted Iraq really bad. Some of the guys in the military industrial complex, Lockheed and them, they really wanted to push this Iraq thing. But you always have the Zbigniew Brzezinskis and the CNAS crowd, for that matter. You read the Wall Street Journal, it says it's all Rockefeller money created that thing, and these are the cruise missile liberals, as Jeremy Scahill calls them, the sort of centrist old foreign policy establishment, not as crazy as the crazies, but, you know, maybe the loonies that preceded the crazies, and they call this whole area "the arc of crisis." They want the Caspian Basin. They want to keep China out of those minerals in Afghanistan. This is the consensus in New York and D.C. is that, "Eh, screw Iraq, but we're staying in Central Asia," right?
Porter: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, there's no doubt in my mind that Petraeus is committed to the broader strategy of maximizing the U.S. military presence in that whole area in the arc of crisis just as much as anybody else. So I just don't think that that necessitates, from his point of view, necessarily, the effort to accomplish what may not be accomplishable in Afghanistan. Now, I'm not suggesting that he's going to publicly declare today or next week that if this isn't working we're going to have to get out. I think that there's undoubtedly going to be some variance on this basic theme of an exit strategy, particularly when he has a president who is already known to favor a negotiated settlement. I think that he may view that as part of the exit strategy and that it will not be, sort of saying that we're going to unilaterally withdraw. I think he's going to say that we have to reduce our expectations about what we can accomplish and that we're going to have to turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, and I think he'll try to mesh that idea with what Obama wants to do, which is to withdraw, particularly if possible more rapidly under a negotiated settlement.
So I mean that leaves a lot of murky questions unanswered. But, I would emphasize the most important thing about this issue right now to understand is the radical disconnect between what someone like Petraeus says publicly and what he says privately. We know from Tom Ricks' book, The Gamble, that Petraeus told him that he regards it as part of the commander's job to be publicly optimistic, and so I expect him to portray the situation in less than the dire terms that then what one would use if one were being honest. But I think privately he is saying something very, very different at this point, and will be doing so with his staff when he gets there, and I think that the policy that he is going to be basing his command on is going to take that into account. You know, so I can't really predict exactly how he's going to play this. You know, part of it undoubtedly will be trying to put the best face on it, no question about that, he's going to use the idea of information warfare to his best advantage, but in the end he is far more realistic than he's going to let on publicly.
Horton: Well, this guy Obama apparently has no principles whatsoever, and even if for his own self-interested avarice reasons, he wants to get out of there, or claim progress on getting out of there by the time he's running for reelection in 2012 or whatever, he'd just as easy turn around and say, "Yep, we've got to make the COIN work. If it's going to take 20 years, it's going to take 20 years. If you don't like it, blame George Bush." But otherwise, as you and Kelley Vlahos were both saying on the show last week, the whole CNAS crowd and their allies in the Republican party are prepared to say that, "Ah, the Democrats are spineless wimps, they're peaceniks," that's their constant line. And the only thing that the Democrats can do, including the president, is kill more people to prove how tough they are.
Porter: Well, you know, I'm very sympathetic with that line of analysis for sure. The one thing that it doesn't take into account, however, is that there are realities on the ground that limit the ability and the freedom of people like the CNAS crowd, and indeed, someone like Petraeus himself, to pursue the kind of ambitions beyond U.S. borders that they prefer. I mean there are things that they can do. They can continue to maintain military bases throughout the region, I mean, particularly in central Asia, you know. They can continue to send Special Operations forces into many, many countries and make trouble. But in terms of maintaining a major military presence in Afghanistan for many, many years, that's more difficult, because of the cost and because of the inability to make the case that you're succeeding. In other words, the Afghans, the Taliban insurgency, has a veto over the ambition that the United States military wants to pursue.
Horton: And as Jeff Huber was saying in his article on Antiwar.com today, nobody talks about victory in Afghanistan anymore at all, Petraeus or Obama or McChrystal or any of these guys. Pretty much everybody is conceding that the Taliban controls most of the country and are going to over the long term. That's what Anand Gopal was saying on the show yesterday – hey, America leaves now or 20 years from now, it's going to be the Pashtun tribesmen and whoever they can get to be their political representatives, who are going to control Kabul, who are going to control that country.
Porter: Right. And that's why I still insist that whether it's McChrystal or Petraeus, you know, the military command in Afghanistan and the Obama administration face a what I call the "Iraq 2006 moment" in the coming months. They have to face the fact that this war has gone off the tracks, the wheels have gone off the car, so to speak. And that they're going to have to make some major, major readjustments to cope with that situation. And so that's really the bottom line as far as I'm concerned.
Horton: All right, now, I need the shortest answer possible about this. August is coming up. Are we going to be down to 50,000 troops in Iraq, never mind counting the mercenaries?
Porter: There will be, I don't know, I can't give you an exact figure, but all I know is that there's still going to be tens of thousands of combat troops in Iraq, contrary to what the administration will say.
Horton: Right. Do you think the number will be anywhere near the 50,000 they promised, even if they just rename combat troops everything else in the world?
Porter: It could be roughly that figure.
Horton: Because that was the deal. That's why I asked.
Porter: Yep. Yep.
Horton: All right, we're all out of time. Thanks very much for your interest again, Gareth.
Porter: All right, thank you.
Horton: Everybody, that's the great Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service, original.antiwar.com/porter. And we'll be back after this.

The city often refers to adaptive re-use when discussing the values of saving and reusing historic properties, and there is ongoing encouragement for the community to take advantage of the many opportunities to recycle, so it makes sense when a piece of equipment is no longer needed, re-purposing it to fill another need makes sense.
That was the case recently when the truck used to haul lime-sludge waste from the water treatment plant was no longer needed for the process that created the waste was eliminated. The 2005 Freightliner truck with an eight-cubic yard dump bed was a valuable asset, but the city did not need a dump truck of that size.
What was needed was a truck with that could serve the needs of the Waste Water Collections Division for work on pump stations around the city. Each of the stations have heavy pumps located deep in below ground chambers. To service those stations, vault covers or concrete slabs covering the chambers have to be moved and the pumps lifted out.
Innovative thinking and a lot of knowhow at the city's Fleet Maintenance Division transformed the former dump truck into a tool that was needed with the addition of a hydraulic crane with a 10,000 lb. and 25-foot load capacity. Additionally, the truck has nearly 200 feet of cubic feet of storage space and exterior flood lights to ensure a safer working environment. The division now has the capability to pull any submersible pump the city has in operation, to set and move top slabs, generators, valve pipes and large scale piping.
The conversion by General Truck and Maudlin International in Jacksonville took a approximately 60 days to complete at a cost of less than $68,000, including trading the no longer needed dump bed for an additional $2,500 credit against the cost of the work.
When all was said and done, a piece of equipment that was no longer needed by one division had been re-purposed to fill the need of another division. The action resulted in saving approximately $50,000 by re-purposing rather than purchasing a new utility truck, another example of adaptive re-use.

HOLYOKE – The Ward 2A polling place was doing its best to leave pessimists smirking in delight Tuesday.
Only 40 votes had been recorded in the presidential primary by about 5 p.m. as the precinct at Morgan Elementary School at 596 South Bridge St. that usually yields among the city's lowest voter turnouts didn't disappoint.
"I just think it's because it's only the preliminaries. Come November, they'll come and vote," warden Elizabeth Delgado said.
Also, she said, the mostly Hispanic precinct is mostly Democratic and many thought the primary was exclusively Republican although Democratic President Barack Obama was on the ballot.
"It was all 'Romney,' 'Romney,' 'Romney,'" said Delgado, of Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

February 2009
"Boof"…He's Gone
Due to partial tears in his labrum and rotator cuff, Twins reliever Boof Bonser will likely miss the entire 2009 season. While I feel bad for the Boofster, as I know he is such a gamer, I don't know whether this is a good or bad thing for the Twins' pitching staff. Boof is one of those guys who has major-league (stuff)–a live fastball and big breaking curve–but hasn't been able to adjust after his successful rookie season of 2006.
Last year was so up-and-down for Bonser…one appearance he would look like the second coming of Juan Rincon, while the next he would more closely resemble Terry Mulholland. Hopefully he can rehab the arm and come back strong.
Saved From The Dark Side
Well, the Minnesota Twins finally have the right-handed bat they have been so desperately looking for since Ron Coomer went from playing in the All-Star game to laughing like a goon during Twins TV broadcasts (!). Now, as long as his back can hold out, the Twins have to be the favorite to win the division.
Joe Crede came over to the Twins (The Great White Light) from the Chicago White Sox (The Dark Side) for one year and $2.5 million guaranteed. He could make up to $7 million in incentives revolving primarily around the number of at-bats he accumulates over the course of the season (which is exactly the kind of contract a guy with his injury status SHOULD sign).
A healthy Crede can be expected to hit in the .270-.280 range with 20-30 home runs. He is also excellent at the hot corner (something neither Brian Buscher nor Brendan Harris have on their resumes) with the glove.
Perhaps the biggest implication of this move, though, is that it gives manager Ron Gardenhire much better depth on the bench. In late-inning situational ball, Gardy can send up either Harris or Buscher (both decent batsmen) as well as the odd man out of the Gomez-Span-Cuddyer-Young conundrum. In recent seasons, the Twins have lost big series (think the '03 and '04 ALDS rounds against the Yankees) because of their lack of depth, but this move for Crede changes all that.
One That May Have Gotten Away
I was very surprised to learn yesterday that the Twins lost right-handed reliever Bobby Korecky to the Arizona Diamondbacks via wavers. Besides his exciting extra-inning base hit in that crazy game last season, I was very impressed with his poise on the mound. Give him another year, and he could become a major-league reliever, with closer status not far behind (he was the primary closer for the Twins' Triple-A team the past two seasons).
I think what's even more bitter is that we lost him to fill a spot for Luis Ayala. Personally, I think Ayala will be one of those guys who will stick around for a few months (probably a month too long, if the Livan Hernandez experiment showed us anything last season) and then be gone due to just plain old bad pitching. Thus, I think letting Korecky go for Ayala is a mistake that, although it may not be season-breaking, is one that may haunt the Twins a bit when/if Korecky makes it big somewhere else.
-In other Twins news, Gardy mentioned the other day that he would love to have Dennys Reyes (who is still a free agent) back in his pen. While I can see the rationale (Reyes did have his moments against lefty batters), there were just too many times last season where the Big Sweat would come in and walk the only batter he was asked to face, or throw one in the dirt and allow a baserunner to advance. Craig Breslow can do just as good of a job against lefties and throw less wildly in the process.
-Tomorrow night, I will give my thoughts on the signing of Joe Crede to a one year contract.
Why Hello There, Mr. Anderson…
For those of us who want to see Barry Bonds punished to the full extent of the law for perjuring himself to the U.S. government, a major blow was dealt today. The judge in the case barred Bonds' positive steroid tests from 2003, citing that there isn't definitive proof that those tests belonged to Barry. Plus, along the same vein, the doping calendars seized from Bonds' personal trainer Greg Anderson cannot be used in the trial, as (even though a B.B. is present throughout the journals) the court cannot prove with 100% certainty that B.B. is Barry Bonds.
So, in all likelihood, the entire case will rest on the testimony of Mr. Anderson. However, he has proven to be one tough cookie, serving a long prison sentence already because he didn't give up Bonds' name from the get-go. It makes me sick that Bonds could get by on these technicalities. Just look at the guy…an A-1 example of a punk who still thinks he will get away with something illegal.
Where's Neo when you need him?!
Double Homecomings
Tom Glavine back to the Atlanta Braves: After pitching the first 16 years of his career with the Braves, then five years spent with the rival Mets, Tom Glavine was back in a Braves uniform last season. However, his great homecoming story was cut short by an elbow injury that required surgery, after which many thought he would hang 'em up. However, it was announced today that he is coming back to the Braves for one (presumably final) season. Hey, as long as he can still paint that outside corner, he can still win 10 games.
Ken Griffey Jr. back to the Seattle Mariners: After spending his first 11 star-studded seasons in a Mariner uniform, KGJ left for his hometown of Cincinnati for eight years, where injuries plagued his performance to the point where he became a shell of his former greatness. During the mid-1990s, when I was just getting into the Minnesota Twins and baseball in general, my favorite single player was Griffey (sorry Ron Coomer, you just didn't cut it for me…!). I loved the mammoth dingers he would crush and the confident (bordering on cocky, but he could back it up) way he carried himself. Thus, although he'll likely never hit as many as 35 homers in a single season again, it will be fun to see that bat-waggling, uppercut swing back in Seattle (although it will be a little wierd not observing it in the Kingdome!).
Union Man
A day or two ago, MLB Commissioner Buddy-Boy Selig had a few harsh words for those criticizing his stand against steroids in the game. Selig said that it "annoys the you-know-what out of me" to be criticized for the Steroid Era, and that he tried to institute a tough testing policy in 1995 but was fought by the MLB Players Union (led by Donald Fehr) every step of the way.
Now, while I can understand Selig's frustration with Fehr's Union, which has gotten completely out of hand with too much power the last decade or so, the commish seems to have forgotten one certain thing: the title in front of his name. As commissioner, what Selig says is what WILL happen in baseball. If he was frustrated by Fehr in 1995 while negotating the new bargaining agreement to avoid a longer players strike, why didn't he just come to the public with the information? He could have easily just held a press conference and told baseball fans that the Union is impeding my efforts to clean up the sport. So much pressure would have been place on the Union at that time that they likely would have complied. However, Bud instead chose to overlook the entire issue at the time (think all the U.S. Presidents before Abraham Lincoln overlooking that "little" issue call slavery) in order to gain a brittle trust with the Union. That was his big mistake, and he is paying for it royally now.
So, when I hear Selig getting defensive about all the negative press he is currently receiving, I think he deserves every bit of it. Only certain commissioners (Kennesaw Landis being first and foremost) have truly tried to do what was best for the game, but Selig is not one of them. He THINKS he is (because he got the players back on the field in '95), but really he just mortgaged the next decade to steroid issues.
Skirting The Truth
With all the current controversy surrounding Alex Rodriguez's leaked positive drug test from 2003, I just wanted to put in my two cents worth: I think he is still (while not outright lying) trying to cover up a large portion of his steroid involvement, or at least make it seem much more benign than it really was. The only thing different with A-Rod is that, once he was caught, he opened himself up to a live press conference (more accessibility than guys like Mark McGwire or Rafael Palmeiro, for example). He allowed himself to be put through the wringer and now hopes that his answers will prove satisfactory to warrant some forgiveness. I, however, do not believe that he is portraying himself in the correct light based on two portions of his recent comments:
First, he has not (to this point, and likely ever) given what I would consider a decent explanation for why he continued to take steroids. All he says is that he was "young, naive, and stupid", but to me that is a cop-out. You can't tell me that when A-Rod saw his HR numbers surpassing 50 (in 2001 and 2002), up from his usual low-40s number, he didn't realize it was because of the substances he was injecting into himself. Sure, Rodriguez may say that his rookie year in Seattle and his 2007 Yankees campaign were his two greatest seasons in the major leagues, but that is strictly a matter of opinion. I think that A-Rod knew EXACTLY what he was doing (taking steroids).
Also, we are all forgetting that MLB DID actually have a steroid "policy" in place before 2003. Basically, the policy stated that all substances deemed illegal outside the game were also illegal within the game. The steroid that A-Rod tested positive for, Primobolan, has never had an approved prescription use. Also, by itself it is a rather weak steroid, so it is often used in conjunction with other products (such as HGH, perhaps, the other substance that A-Rod tested positive for in '03…hmm).
Thus, there are two many loose ends and fishy coincidences here for me to completely believe A-Rod's claims. Plus, in 2007 (when under the steroid allegations of Jose Canseco) Rodriguez told Kate Couric point-blank that he never used steroids. Either he was a great liar, then, or a complete idiot. He wants us to believe that "idiot" line, but I lean towards the "liar".
The "Rocket" Fizzles!
Besides all the fallout of the Alex Rodriguez steroid admission, which I will discuss on this blog in more detail in a later post, it was also recently announced that a federal judge dismissed basically all of Roger Clemens' "defamation of character" lawsuit against former personal trainer Brian McNamee, who said in last year's Mitchell Report that he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone.
For once, I think the U.S. justice system got things right!! McNamee was promised federal immunity for his contributions to George Mitchell, and that is exactly what he is getting right now. So, in essence, Clemens isn't able to screw him over for just telling the truth.
As you will likely find out by reading my upcoming blog posts about steroids in major league baseball, I am a huge proponent of holding everyone (players, managers, trainers, commissioner Selig, etc.) accountable for the Steroid Era of 1994-2003. Thus, I think that Clemens is getting EXACTLY what he deserves. Whereas most players (Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Sammy Sosa, etc.) have completely disappeared following steroid accusations, Clemens (because he is a jerk…just ask Mike Piazza about that) decided to lie through his teeth and fight it tooth and nail. So far, though, he's not winning and I'm all for that.
A Typical Twins Signing
Besides signing Matt Guerrier to a one-year contract, the Twins also added reliever Luis Ayala, who spent portions of last season with the Washington Nationals and the New York Mets. Ayala will get $1.3 million for one season.
I don't know a whole lot about this Ayala (although that should be pretty self-explanatory considering he played for the Expos/Nats franchise most of his career), but I don't like his 2008 stats: 2-10, 75 IP, 5.71 ERA. However, I also noticed that Luis has had some very solid past seasons ('02-'05) with the Expos/Nats, posting sub-3.00 ERAs.
This is a typical Twins move in that Ayala is a guy who nobody is beating down the door for, so his price is pretty low. If he pitches well, that would be great, but he's also just as important to create some competition for the setup man role in Spring Training. Ayala, Matt Guerrier, and Jose Mijares will now all be battling for the "exclusive rights" to work the eighth inning when the Twins have the lead, and competition for jobs is something the Twins have always liked to put a priority on (especially with their young players).
It's not quite Brandon Lyon or Eric Gagne, but we'll see how Ayala pans out.
Matty G.
I know I've been a bit lax about updating this blog as of late (but isn't that happens when trying to cover the Twins' "plethora" of moves this offseason?), but I did want to mention that the Twins just recently avoided arbitration with relief pitcher Matt Guerrier. Matty G. ended up signing a one-year contract worth $1.475 million.
As of right now, I think this is a good move for the Twins, although it remains to be seen if Guerrier can regain the early-season form he showed in 2008. For the first half of the season, Matty was the ONLY Twins reliever (excluding Joe Nathan, of course) who was even partially effective. He bailed us out of tough spot after tough spot. Come August and September, though Guerrier hit a major wall and was, as much as I hate to say this, quite terrible. Whether it was from him being overworked/overexposed earlier in the season or just a lack of confidence, Guerrier sadly became the guy you didn't want to see trotting in from the bullpen. By the very end of the season, Guerrier's setup job was given to Jose Mijares, as Matty failed in try after try to produce quality outings.
So, I think that Guerrier can flourish out of the pen again, but only if the Twins do not wear him down to the bone again. He has a windmill-like delivery that must make it difficult for batters to pick up the ball coming out of his hand, but he needs to be JUST the eighth-inning guy, and not EVERY night at that.

A rational expression, also known as a fraction, is really just the quotient of two integers. Let's look at how to add rational expressions. Adding rational expressions involves more or less the same rules as adding fractions. In order to add two fractions, we must find common denominators between the two. So also with rational expressions. We simplify both kinds of expressions the same way as well.
It is important to ensure that only common factors of the two rational expressions are cancelled rather than terms within the numerators and the denominators. For example, in attempting to simplify 2x + 6/x^2 + 6 we would not write 2x/x^2. To write this would be to commit the aforementioned error. 6 is not a common factor between the numerator and the denominator of the rational expression. It's just a term in the numerator and the denominator. We cancel common factors between the numerator and the denominator, not terms.
First, factor the denominator of both expressions. Next, multiply each rational expression by the denominator of the other one. Next, we add the numerators, but not the denominators, together, as is the case with ordinary addition of fractions. Finally, you have a simplified rational expression.

Outfit New Look Maroon Peplum Top.
Call me an outdated person, but this is truly the first leisure time of this little dumb deer above to write on my blog for my very first post in 2013. How are you guys anyways? So far so good, huh? We come to the middle of January already. Today is page 12 of 2013, which means we are going to leave this month like real soon. Time flies so fast, doesn't it? My 2013 goes so far so great. Loving instead of loathing the rainy days which prolong their periods from the actual season, happily be thankful to God instead of overbearing the unpredictable marks which I get after a hard try and attempt during my third semester of college, paying more attention instead of just being indifferent to the political issues especially in Indonesia, getting a heart to cut my shorter than last year and it might be my shortest hair I have ever had since I was in elementary school, and many other things that I feel that I did not do in my previous year.
What about my 2012? What do I leave behind this year?
Well, my 2012 was extremely amazing. I studied really well for the last two semesters in 2012, cooked super nice dishes by myself for myself and sometimes for my sisy and boyfriend, held some events in my university, cut my hair short enough to have a new sensation of life since I never have a short hair before, had a fight with my boyfriend until we found our own reconciliation, missed my mom and dad and all of my relatives who live hundred kilometers away from me, watched my favorite Korean boy band - Bigbang with my beloved fellows, had my very first time to have a "me time" by watching on the theater by myself, invited to several cool events and many other happiness which sounds pretty cool and silly that I had done in 2012 which cannot be listed one by one. I worked so hard last year because once I felt I did not do my best, I always remember my favorite chapter of Holy Bible, 2 Thessalonians 3:10, "If you don't work, you don't eat."
However, my 2012 is not only about happiness. I cried for many times, I had been left by some of my lovely people around me, my heart was torn apart, but no matter what happened to me, my mom always taught me to still be thankful to God and stop complaining.
Once I ever wrote on my twitter when I got bad news in my last days of 2012, "'There are zillion people out there, but why should it happen to me?' doesn't cure anything. Be grateful, He has the biggest plan for us :)" I was so broke at that time, I felt that I was really failed. My heart was torn apart into pieces. But then I realize, why should I stuck in this moment? Should not I just be thankful to God for what had happened to me? Maybe it was the right plan, and another bigger plan has been waiting for me like what in A Walk to Remember movie had said:
Jamie: "You know what I figured out today?"
Landon: "What?"
Jamie: "Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel."
Nevertheless, I was still such an introvert because just like Soe Hok Gie, my guru, I have a principle that "Nobody can see the trouble I see. Nobody knows my sorrow." However, I am still a joyful little dumb deer though.
So now, though I love my 2012 so much, after the upside down in 2012, I believe that life still should go on, right? I have learned so many things in 2012 and also gained so many new experiences for my preparation in welcoming the new year with so many hopes with no expectation. My only hope is, I wish I can a better person, inside and outside, always be grateful and respect each other. Because I believe by being and doing those things, I can reach my dream and have a brighter future especially in 2013. I am going to miss you 2012, but here I am in 2013. Welcome, 2013! Please be nice to me :) Hopefully I can be a good snake lol.
Sincerely yours, little dumb deer.
Eva Silviana of Crunchy Cheese Me.

A farm bill passed by the House of Representatives includes an amendment to grow hemp for academic or agricultural research purposes in states where industrial hemp farming is already legal. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), instrumental in getting the hemp bill provision included on the Senate Farm Bill said, "We are laying the groundwork for a new commodity market for Kentucky farmers." Kentucky is one of the 10 states that can now benefit from the passing of the hemp amendment.
Hemp is grown around the world in any climate and any soil. In fact more than 30 countries grow hemp for many industrial and commercial uses. With more than 75 percent of the global hemp market, China continues to devote more acreage to hemp agriculture. Industries worldwide are looking at hemp's sustainable and eco-friendly processes as a way to reduce costs and meet corporate climate change objectives.
While the United States is taking its first baby steps on the road to hemp legalization what are the environmental benefits to hemp production?
Here are nine reasons why a move to full scale hemp cultivation would be good for the environment:
Land Optimization
Whether it is used to replace wood-based paper products or textiles such as cotton, hemp is grown in dense rows and its stalk can be harvested within 100 days. An acre of hemp produces as much paper as four acres of woodland.
Woodland Preservation
With global deforestation occurring at an annual rate of approximately three percent per year, hemp offers an alternative to our vanishing woodlands. Hemp averages four times the yield of a forest, yielding anywhere between three and eight dry tons of fiber per acre.
Paper Production
All manner of paper products are being produced today from hemp owing to its strength and durability. Hemp also has low lignin content which allows it to be pulped with less chemicals. It's long fibers allow hemp-based paper to be recycled twice as much more than wood-based paper.
Ten times stronger than cotton, hemp fiber for clothing is one of the fastest growing industries related to hemp. Typically compared to cotton, hemp-based clothing requires a fraction of the water to grow than cotton. More absorbent and mildew-resistant than cotton, hemp clothing also protects against harmful UV rays.
As a weed itself, hemp out-muscles other invasive weeds precluding the use of herbicides. With few enemies from within the insect world, pesticide use is at a minimum in hemp agriculture. By comparison, half of the planet's pesticide use is sprayed on cotton and flax.
Oils extracted from its seeds are less expensive than extracting protein from soybeans. Hemp milk is also making inroads on grocery store shelves and hemp based nutritional supplements are jockeying for space at health food stores.
Hemp waste product — biomass — generated from one acre of crop yield can produce 1,000 gallons of clean-burning ethanol fuel. Theoretically, energy produced from hemp biomass could eventually supply all of the energy needs in the United States.
Fiberboard made from hemp-based composites are stronger and lighter than those made from wood. Beyond wood, hemp is also becoming a sustainable alternative for concrete. Mixing hemp with lime, produces soundproofing and insulating materials that are stronger and lighter than concrete. A hemp form of fiberglass may one day replace plastic piping.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Hemp's speedy grow cycle avoids the build-up of carbon dioxide. Dioxides released into the atmoshpere are absorbed by the next crop.
The Hemp Industries Association (HIA), estimates that retail sales of hemp food and body care products set records in 2012, reaching $156 million. The HIA also reviewed sales of clothing, auto parts, building materials and various other products, estimating the total retail value of hemp products sold in the U.S. in 2012 to be at least $500 million.
With more than 25,000 known products that can be made with hemp, it is encouraging that The House has taken these first steps that will undoubtedly benefit the environment with the passing of House Resolution 525. The bill was originally introduced as an amendment by Representatives Jared Polis (D-CO), Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR).
A fully realized hemp industry will produce an economic boost while providing home grown jobs for American workers.

In fact, Norway and the Netherlands leads the overall Olympic medal tally so far with 3 each. Both countries have one gold, one silver, and one bronze. Following in the medal count is Team USA with one gold. Then, there is Sweden with one silver medal and Canada with one bronze medal.

Desiree Hartsock was the last girl to be on "The Bachelorette." She did find love with Chris Siegfried even though the two have not tied the knot yet. Now that it is Andi Dorfman's turn to the do the job Desiree wrote a letter to her with advice and wishing her luck. On Monday, Your Tango shared an exclusive letter from Desiree to Andi.
Des started out the letter teasing about some of the things that happened during her season of the show. She does not want Andi to get invited into the fantasy suite on night one or end up with a terrible rap. She reminded her that the first night is a blur. It has to be hard to remember the names of 25 men as they are all stepping out of the limo and simply introducing themselves to you.
One other thing that Desiree Hartsock doesn't want Andi Dorfman to do is end up getting tricked by the guys. It can be hard to do because they could be there for the wrong reasons. She wished her luck and told her she hopes it all works out. Everyone is rooting for Andi to find love this season on the show.
Andi's close friend Nikki Ferrell actually went to Instagram to wish her luck as well. The two became very close on the season with Juan Pablo Galavis. Nikki did find love and now Andi might just find her dream man. Nikki shared that she would be lost without Andi and really appreciates her friendship. Andi has been there for her the entire time when a lot of people gave Nikki and JP a hard time about their love story and the end of their season.
Don't miss the new episodes of "The Bachelorette" 2014 on Monday nights on ABC. It is your chance to see if Andi Dorfman can find love or not. Fans are hoping for a happy ending this season. If you want to know who wins this season, you can check it out at this link.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Desertbella Big surprise again! I tried it only twice just because I don't usually use mascara. It doesn't work. I was always using micellar water Biosource for all make-up removal. Biocils was a big mistake. I read reviews and was in shock when I actually tried it. It took 5 pads for one eye and it still didn't remove mascara. I wonder if Biotherm had changed the formula again and kept reviews for previous product. I wish I could return it. The texture doesn't feel pleasant at all. I got bumps next morning around eye area after using this product. June 21, 2015

It never stings my eyes and has no fragrance which is nice. It is cool and the gel always feels good while taking off my eye makeup. I am a make up artist and aesthetician and this is the only eye makeup remover I recommend. It takes everything off while also being super gentle. I hope they never get rid of this product!

Renzo Piano's Gorgeous Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center Inspired by Native Arc...
Start Slideshow
- Tjibaou Cultural CenterIf you want to see a classic example of green architecture before the eco building movement was even born, check out the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center by Renzo Piano on the island of New Caledonia in the South Pacific. Built to honor the assassinated Kanak leader, Jean-Marie Tjibaou, as well as the culture of the Kanak peoples, the cultural center is modeled after a traditional Kanak village, and the pavilions were inspired by Kanak huts. Using traditional materials coupled with modern materials and technology, Piano also utilizes clever green building strategies to keep the pavilions cool and integrate the center with nature.1
- Tjibaou Cultural CenterOriginally designed in 1991, the Tjibaou Cultural Center was finally completed in 1998.2
- Tjibaou Cultural CenterLocated near the capital city of New Caledonia, Nouméa, the Cultural Center sits on a narrow strip of land surrounded by the ocean and lush vegetation.3
- Tjibaou Cultural CenterRenzo Piano designed the center's individual structures to resemble Kanak Huts and honor the native people's culture.4
- Tjibaou Cultural CenterBut they are not built exactly like the traditional architecture. Piano's version of the traditional village pays homage to the tradition of the culture without falling into a parody of it.5
- Tjibaou Cultural CenterIn all, ten pavilions of varying heights make up the village along a main axis.6
- Tjibaou Cultural CenterEach pavilion serves a different purpose may hold temporary or permanent exhibitions or even studios for traditional activities such as music, dance, painting and sculpture.7
- Tjibaou Cultural CenterBesides the pavilions, the center also includes an auditorium and an amphitheater. Housed in a second series of huts are, aside from the administrative departments, research areas, a conference room and a library.8
- Tjibaou Cultural CenterConstructed of local iroko wood as well modern materials like glass and steel, the pavilions may look traditional but utilize modern engineering.9

After the long weekend, if you weren't able to work in that extra time to watch or catch up on some of the movies you might have missed, be sure to take a look at what hit the shelves today. As the Oscars continue inch closer, this week has a nominee or two that is released along with some action and comedy. No matter what you might be looking for, in this week's releases there is really something for everyone.
1. "Captain Phillips": This inspired by true events stars Tom Hanks in another outstanding role. Already creating quite a buzz from the award nominations, this movie snagged six Oscar nominations including Best Picture. Hitting shelves with plenty of time before the March 2nd Oscar air date, audiences have more than enough time to see what they might have missed in theaters. The movie tells the true story of Captain Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates, which was the first occurrence in over two hundred years. See all the action, drama and suspense this movie has to offer and see if you will be in its corner come award night.
2. "Blue Jasmine": This movie is another Oscar hopeful in the Best Actress category for the already Golden Globe winner this year Cate Blanchett and Best Original Screenplay. A Woody Allen drama that tells the story of a New York housewife (Blanchett) who is in crisis as her life falls apart around her. Allen was honored this year at the Golden Globes with the Cecil B. DeMille Award which is for outstanding contributions to entertainment. He continues adding more works of high quality, emotion filled, character driven movies to his collection and before the statues are handed out, audiences get the chance to see this contender and measure how it weighs up to his other classics.
3. "Machete Kills": Not looking for a heavy, award filled movie and just need some mindless, crazy action, check out this movie which is a follow up to the 2010 film "Machete". Written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, who is known for his over the top action films and starring a wide assortment of talented actors Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Sofia Vergara, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Jessica Alba, Cuba Gooding, Jr., and Mel Gibson. This tells the story of ex-Federale agent Machete, whose help is enlisted by the President of the USA to stop a revolutionary and an peculiar arms dealer who plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet. In true Rodriguez fashion, this film is full of explosions, chaos and of course deaths.
4. "The Starving Games": Feeding off the popular success of "The Hunger Games" movies and following in the footsteps of other parody movies such as "Dance Flick" and "Vampires Suck" comes this off beat comedy. Set in very similar circumstance, this movie tells the story of hero Kantmiss Evershot (Maiara Walsh) who volunteers for younger sister in the 75th annual "Starving Games". In a fight to the death, Kantmiss must team up with geeky baker's son Peter Malarkey (Cody Allen Christian) with the hope of making it out alive. Writer and director Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer team up again for their sixth movie spoof to create another comedy for audiences to take watch favorite big blockbuster hits and get a little laugh out of them.
This week has something for everyone and some can't miss award contenders. Whether you are looking for a laugh, cry or mindless action, this week has something for everyone. Don't miss your chance to catch up on what you might have missed or bring home some of your beloved hits to add to your movie collection.

A Quote by Sara Teasdale on death, peace, silence, and suicide
[Suicide note to her lover who left her.] When I am dead, and over me bright April Shakes out her rain drenched hair, Tho you should lean above me broken hearted, I shall not care. For I shall have peace. As leafey trees are peaceful When rain bends down the bough. And I shall be more silent and cold hearted Than you are now.

Take your time… This is a small bit of wisdom that this morning's bride would like to impart on all who are planning their own big days. Her gorgeous Vermont wedding day at West Mountain Inn was the product of a little over two years of planning. Yes, two years! We were skeptical about the need for such a lengthy engagement too, until she mentioned how little stress she encountered while planning. The lack of anxiety was evident as the whole day appeared to flow like a dream filled with beautiful weather, personalized DIY elements, and not a worry wrinkle in sight.
Curious to see more worry free moments from this take your time wedding in Vermont? Why wouldn't you be? Stop by the full gallery here to see all of the fabulous details captured by Dreamlove Photography. It is well worth your time!
The above invitation suite is brought to you by two great design professionals. The above save the dates were created by a friend of the bride Stuart D. Haury who works professionally as a visual communicator. The Invitations were created by Paper on Pine, a stationer in Philadelphia, they pride themselves on creating unique works on paper that showcase your personality and style. We recommend checking both of their sites out, it is well worth it!
From the Bride:
If I could give advice to future brides it would be to know what you want and to go with your gut. Right from the beginning, I had an idea in my head of how I wanted the day to look and feel. After that, I set out finding vendors that I trusted that would get us to that place. We had a very long engagement (2+ years), but when we found a vendor we liked, we booked them right away without hesitation even if it was more than 2 years out. We never had to worry about a vendor we wanted not having availability – and that certainly helped with managing stress levels.
Also, remember to take a second to breathe! Planning a wedding is stressful. Emotions from everyone run high, and with that there is bound to be some drama. Take a step back, and remember what's important: you get to marry your best friend. That's what really matters.
From Dreamlove Photography:
For the DIY-loving bride, this wedding had lots of great ideas… but our favorite was Cate's unique combination guest favors and escort table idea. She gave antique glass vases away as guest favors, but also tied a vintage luggage tag to each vase with guest's names and table description. Pure genius….saved tons of space, and was budget-friendly. The table itself also looked like a work of art. Sand and river stones were used to create a rustic landscape for all of the vases, and guests were drawn to that table instantly when walking into the barn.
From the Bride:
When Dave and I set out on planning our wedding, our main goal was to assemble all of the people that were closest to us in one, beautiful place and throw a really awesome party. There were many ups and downs of wedding planning, but in the end, when the day finally came – that was exactly what we did. When I think about the wedding, I remember everyone happy, smiling, and really giving it their all on the dance floor. It was perfect. Finally being married is pretty great too.

Milk for Weight-Loss...
Dr. Amy Joy Lanou, an assistant professor in the department of health and wellness at the University of North Carolina, wants people to know that milk for weight-loss ads are nothing but hype. Reuters reports:
Recent claims that low-fat dairy products or calcium can help people lose weight are untrue, according to a review of the published scientific literature, which shows that neither dairy products in general nor calcium intake promote weight loss.Kudos to Dr. Lanou! Her sentiments sound a lot like Dr. Fuhrman's. He talks about milk in Milk Is For The Rapidly Growing Cow. Here's a bit:
"Don't believe the hype," Dr. Amy Joy Lanou told Reuters Health. "The ads that promote milk as helping to achieve a healthy weight are misleading; the science does not support these ads…"
…Lanou said she was not at all surprised by the findings because milk is designed for growth. "Milk is a food that is designed for helping small mammals grow into rather large ones in a relatively short period of time," she explained. "It is counterintuitive to think that a food that has lots of calories, fats, and protein would be helpful for weight loss."
She suggests switching to water. "We drink way too many of our daily allotted calories in milk, milkshakes, lattes, sodas and other sweetened beverages. Water is healthy and naturally calorie-free," Lanou said. "Choosing water instead of milk means you can enjoy more nutrient-dense foods such as fruits vegetables, grains, and legumes and stay within your energy needs."
Milk, which is designed by nature for the rapidly growing cow, has about half its calories supplied from fat. The fatty component is concentrated more to make cheese and butter. Milk and cheese are the foods Americans encourage their children to eat, believing them to be healthy foods. Fifty years of heavy advertising by an economically powerful industry has shaped the public's perception, illustrating the power of one-sided advertising, but the reality and true health effects on our children is a different story. Besides the link between high-saturated-fat foods (dairy fat) and cancer, there is a body of scientific literature linking the consumption of cow's milk to many other diseases. If we expect our children to resist many common illnesses, they simply must consume less milk, cheese, and butter. Dairy foods should be consumed in limited quantity or not at all.Milk for health has never sat well with me. Milk gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Since the earliest days of the Church, disciples of Jesus have celebrated the "Lord's Supper" (see Acts of the Apostles 2:42). In his First Letter to the Corinthians (11:23), St. Paul hands on a "recipe" of words that was previously handed on to him: "the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread…" As time went on, the Church sought to gather the words used to faithfully celebrate the Eucharist and collect them into a book that today we call The Roman Missal. To fully understand the Third Edition of the Roman Missal that was implemented in Advent of 2011, we need a little history.
The New Roman Missal Changes – a brief history:
1570 – Pope Pius V issued the first Roman Missal – a complete collection of all the texts (prayers, rubrics, readings, antiphons) that were used in the celebration of the Eucharist. Aside from a few minor revisions over the centuries, this single book remained largely unchanged for almost 400 years.
1963 – The Second Vatican Council called for a renewal of the Church's liturgical life – including a reform and renewal of the Mass.
1969 – The Latin texts of the renewed Mass were issued in the first edition of the Roman Missal. Almost immediately, work began on translating the Latin into the vernacular languages of the world. The English translation was given the title "The Sacramentary," the name we have used until now for the red book which contains the prayers and antiphons that are used at Mass.
1975 – A second edition of the Roman Missal was issued in Latin by the Church. It was largely the same as the first edition, but contained some modifications that were the result of further decisions of the Second Vatican Council made since the first edition was published..
2000 – Pope John Paul II issued a third edition of the Roman Missal in Latin. He did so to mark the Millennium and to include new prayers to be used at Mass for the celebration of Saints who had been canonized since the second edition was issued.
2001 – Work began on translating into English the Latin text of the new Roman Missal.
2010 – In August of that year, Rome approved the English translation that was submitted by the English speaking countries of the world. Preparation for implementing the Roman Missal changes began.
Advent 2011 – We began celebrating the Mass following this English translation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal. It is important to note that the Mass itself has not changed; only the English translation of the words have been changed.

I was listening to the radio the other day and the host was taking calls regarding Obamacare. There were the usual callers spouting off about liberty and socialism and the like. Entertainment radio. Then, a lady called to discuss pre existing conditions. She was obviously elderly, but declined to give her exact age. ("old enough to know a few things"). She opined that, at her age, everything is a pre existing condition. At some point that is true for everyone. But what does this mean as far as Obamacare healthcare?
Traditionally, insurance is purchased before you need it. Bought for 'what ifs' or 'just in case'. Your auto insurance is hopefully never used. But if an accident happens, you are covered and repairs made with little or no out of pocket expense. If you had a 'fender-bender' and then called Allstate to buy a policy – guess what? – you are not covered for the accident that happened already. We all understand this. Health insurance has always been the same. It was insurance. It was 'just in case'. Obamacare is changing this model.
When the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010 this began changing. The new law makes it illegal to deny coverage to anyone because of these pre existing issues. Additionally, insurers can't charge more for these policies. This will be in full force for adults by 2014. For families with coverage under the parents plan children can no longer be excluded now.
By not allowing a pre existing condition exclusion, Obamacare healthcare is changing the way all healthcare is paid for. No longer will an insurance company be able to deny payment of your expenses if they deem your treatment was for a sickness or condition that you had before purchasing insurance. (sometimes up to a year after it was purchased). It was in the insurance companies interest not to pay out claims. Ahh, the profit motive. Prove you didn't have that cancer last year.
In the Fall of 2013, when the state insurance exchanges open, patients with pre existing conditions will be able to purchase insurance at the lower prices that are expected. All individuals will get their insurance through these or directly from insurance providers.
Under the new system insurers will be expected to pay for all expenses.(less a deductible,of course) They must pay out 80% (85% in some cases) of premiums for healthcare. The remaining 15 or 20 percent is for expenses and profit. No longer will people have to worry about not being covered for a particular illness or condition. With the advent of Obamacare healthcare – you are covered.
