Why Sports Cars Are Often the Most Reliable Used Cars
Steve Lang
Certain cars are reliability incarnate. Toyota Corolla. Honda Civic. BMW Z4 (pictured above)—wait, BMW Z4? Yes, because the long-term reliability of sports cars has experienced a paradigm shift over the past 25 years, thanks in part to automakers' improvements in quality and reaching economies of scale with these products.
Sports cars typically are driven far less than most other types of used cars, too. According to data from this author's own Long-Term Quality Index, which has recorded the mileage and condition of more than 1.4 million trade-ins from Connecticut to California, this low-mileage reality is as true for a Mazda MX-5 as it is for a Chevrolet Corvette or even a Mercedes CLK-class.
At the same time, owners usually invest more money into sports cars when it comes to regular maintenance. You're far less likely to find any of these vehicles being given a paper-based oil filter at a 10-minute oil-change shop or fitted with low-quality tires that can accelerate the suspension's deterioration. Today's sports-car owners often are older, wiser, and more willing to invest. The result? A 15-year-old sports car in excellent shape is no longer uncommon.
The Long-Term Quality Index awards reliability ratings to vehicles. Here, sports cars are rated against the industry average.
In fact, when it comes to long-term quality, it's the fast and the fun that often provide the best bang for the buck. This is true even for sports cars with the same engine foundations and transmissions that are installed in full-size SUVs. The owner gets the benefit of an engine and transmission engineered to handle the stress of super-size-vehicle duties. Often, those engines and transmissions can be made (with variations specific to the application) to withstand nearly twice the vehicle weight and far more towing and hauling than any sports car. Purchasers gets the benefit of that extreme testing standard and lack of heft when they buy the sports-car version.
Radu Theyyunni, director of engine analysis at GM Global Propulsion Systems, commented on this merging of multiple standards and its impact on powertrain longevity and reliability in sports cars and other vehicles that offer a higher level of horsepower and torque.
"A sports car has a much different duty cycle than a full-size SUV," Theyyunni said. "For example, the lubrication and cooling systems can be different. However, the base engine design, such as the main bearings, the block, and the crank, are all designed [to be] robust enough to handle both types of applications." That means engines for trucks can handle steep grades and heavy towing loads, while engines in sports cars are optimized for performance-related activities, he said.
Sometimes even the most unreliable sports-car brands of the distant past can eventually become enduring testaments to long-term quality. Take Jaguar, for instance. The long-term reliability of that automaker's engines has gone from the atrocious nadir of the Jaguar XJS of a quarter-century ago to the pinnacle of reliability with the well-crafted, modern engines found in the Jaguar XK.
Modern versions of Jaguar engines serve as the foundation for a wide variety of vehicles in today's used-car market, ranging from Lincoln luxury cars to Land Rover SUVs to Ford Thunderbirds. In today's world, that decade-old used Jaguar can already handle nearly twice the power of the old V-12 while experiencing an infinitesimal fraction of the powertrain issues.
Nearly 80 percent of the sports cars, roadsters, and grand tourers that have been sold in the United States since 1993 have above-average reliability, according to the Long-Term Reliability Index. That's a record that no other segment of today's market can match.

It's a quiet reality within the used-car market: Modern sports cars usually are driven less, maintained better, and designed to handle far more abuse than their automotive ancestors. So if you want a used car that's worth keeping, don't be afraid to skip past the practical and dial up the horsepower.

If Chlamydia bacteria can bind to cells and enter them the nanomedicine treatment is designed to activate autophagy, a cellular process where infected skin cells are able to form a bubble around that bacteria and destroy it. On its own, siRNA cannot enter skin cells to reduce PDGFR-beta expression and prevent Chlamydia binding. The new gene therapy uses a unique nanoparticle that enables siRNA to enter the cells, reduce Chlamydia's ability to bind and destroy invasive bacteria and prevent the disease from spreading.

But to many, the old lamp is a treasure waiting to be upcycled into something special. Ditto for the old furniture and other discarded items in the trash, or at the local thrift shop. One manrsquo;s trash and all that.
Treasures-to-be can also be found in your own home. ldquo;Learn to look at things differently before going out and buying something newrdquo; or throwing something away, says Adam Fullerton, Toronto fabricator and upcycler extraordinaire.
Think outside the box. Can it be reused for another purpose? If itrsquo;s broken, can it be fixed or configured into something spectacular?
Upcycling is a fun way to freshen up your space, create a conversation piece, exercise your creativity and help the environment at the same time. Just be careful not to hoard, Fullerton says.
Itrsquo;s also a great way to spend time with the kids, with a variety of projects from beginner to pro.
Fullertonrsquo;s upcycling career started with lighting. He would rescue lamps from the side of the road, flea markets or charity shops and reconfigure them, sometimes adding scraps to turn them into unique light fixtures or other decorative pieces.
He bought a glass bottle cutter and began to upcycle colourful bottles into planters, glasses, bowls and dishes. ldquo;Itrsquo;s a great project for beginners,rdquo; he says. He collected corks and turned them into cork boards.
He used his welding skills to create more elaborate pieces, and also began crafting furniture with found materials. When he lived in England, solid wood doors, discards of renovations of old houses, were scavenged and transformed into frames for mirrors. ldquo;I collected as many as I could carry to repurpose. The middle panels were removed and replaced with mirrors and sometimes lighting was added around the door,rdquo; he says.
Fullerton grew up in a small village in the south of England and sold his light fixtures in London. In 2015 he moved across the pond. ldquo;I met a Canadian, now my wife,rdquo; he says. At first he worked in the garage, but most recently he moved up to a 1,200-square-foot studio of his own.
His favourite go-to upcycling parts are from second-hand bicycles, where everything from gears to chains to handlebars are given new life. One of his first commercial projects was a bike rack made with racing handle bars to hold bike frames. ldquo;Inspiration comes from the piece that I find,rdquo; he says.
The ldquo;bike and fall lightrdquo; can be raised and lowered by pulleys.
After 36 years in the military, Denis retired and went back to school to learn the basics of building furniture. ldquo;Denis and I learned together refinishing oil, paint and wax techniques and upholstery modern techniques,rdquo; Martine says.
Five years ago, they displayed their wares at the Wolfe Island Christmas sale. As soon as people realized they could have their furniture repaired and redone, demand began to grow. Two people at one sale wanted the same chair, upholstered in a whimsical fabric pattern with faces one bearing a mustache and looking a lot like Denis, Martine says. Neither ended up buying it.
The couple now gives a second life to other peoplersquo;s cast offs and brings new life to pieces people want to keep. Many summer homes on the island are filled with furniture bought generations ago and now the owners want to upgrade the pieces.
For those contemplating an upcycling project, the Chercuittes suggest starting with a table or a chair that has an upholstered seat. As long as they are strong and steady, theyrsquo;re a good place to start. Denis suggests taking a half-day or day-long upholstery course.

Occasional seismic swarms 1989-99; no eruptive activity
During August-October 2000 there were no reports of unusual volcanic activity occurring at Esa'ala (also called the Dawson Strait group). RVO had a 1960s-vintage seismic recorder at Esa'ala until 1994. Since then, maintenance and funding problems have meant it has neither functioned nor been replaced. Discussion with Professor Abe following a seismic survey in the area in the second part of 1999 revealed that he had seen continued seismicity at the Esa'ala base station.
The last notable seismic swarm at Esa'ala before the RVO instrument broke down was in November-December 1992. Another prior swarm of earthquakes took place in mid-December 1989 (BGVN 15:01). RVO maintains a part-time observer at Esa'ala who keeps track of felt earthquakes. He typically reports that no felt earthquakes have occurred.

Felt swarm of A- and B-type earthquakes; divers film submarine vents and hear booming and roaring
"A swarm of earthquakes took place in the Esa'Ala area in mid-December 1989. Earthquakes were felt with intensities MM III-V by villagers at Esa'Ala, Dobu Island, and on SE Fergusson Island at Oiau, Deidei, and Numa Numa. The local volcano observatory at Esa'Ala noted felt events on the 10th (26 events), 11th (12), 12th (6), and the 13th (3).
"Reports received at RVO on 11 and 13 December prompted a 5-day on-site inspection and local seismic recording by three RVO officers, 13-18 December. When local recording resumed at Esa'Ala Volcano Observatory (on the 13th), 30 sharp volcano-tectonic earthquakes (A-type with S-P

"The deployment of two portable seismographs at Numa Numa and Waiope Island, together with the seismograph at the Esa'Ala Volcano Observatory, allowed location of some of the larger earthquakes. Of the five earthquakes located, three occurred in the Dobu passage, another under Dobu Island, and the 5th between Dobu Island and Neumara Island (figure 1). These locations lie [near the outline] of an inferred submerged caldera.

"The strongest earthquake caused minor landslides from 4-30-m cliffs of pyroclastic deposits along the N and E shores of Dobu Island, and one landslide inland, from a steep gulley on the E flank of Dobu. Ground cracks, 1-4 m inland and 0.5-2 cm wide, reported at Kenaie village on the NE side of Dobu Island were related to the collapse of marine cliffs parallel to their edges.
"Off the N coast of Dobu Island on the afternoon of the 11th, a team of professional divers filmed and photographed very turbulent springs (28°C) and degassing vents through sand holes up to 1 m in diameter, at a depth of 6 m of water. They also reported subcontinuous booming and roaring underwater sounds (at an estimated 30-40 db level).
"The December 1989 earthquake swarm was the first episode of unrest [in this area] since April 1969. At that time (1969), over a period of a few days, 5-7 shocks were felt daily, accompanied by noises. This prompted spontaneous evacuation of villagers on Dobu Island and around Oiau Volcano. Recording at the time was from one station only (ESA). On the basis of the S-P interval (1-1.4 seconds) and reports of earthquake intensities, the swarm was presumed to have originated from the Dobu Passage."

The Dawson Straits, located between eastern Fergusson and western Normanby Islands in the D'Entrecasteaux island group, contains a volcanic field with several centers that define a possible partly submerged caldera. There have been no historical eruptions, but morphology suggests an extremely young age for some lava flows, and the area displays vigorous thermal activity. The most prominent volcanic centers are Mounts Lamonai and Oiau, located about 10 km apart on the SW tip of Fergusson Island. The summit of Lamonai is capped by a steep-walled crater, and rhyolitic lava flows are exposed on the NE side of the cone. The dominantly volcaniclastic Oiau cone has also produced obsidian lava flows. Dobu Island to the south is formed of coalescing volcanic centers and likewise has produced youthful rhyolitic obsidian flows.

MIROVA Middle InfraRed Observation of Volcanic Activity (MIROVA) is a near real time volcanic hot-spot detection system based on the analysis of MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data. In particular, MIROVA uses the Middle InfraRed Radiation (MIR), measured over target volcanoes, in order to detect, locate and measure the heat radiation sourced from volcanic activity.
MODVOLC Thermal Alerts Using infrared satellite Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, scientists at the Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawai'i, developed an automated system called MODVOLC to map thermal hot-spots in near real time. For each MODIS image, the algorithm automatically scans each 1 km pixel within it to check for high-temperature hot-spots. When one is found the date, time, location, and intensity are recorded. MODIS looks at every square km of the Earth every 48 hours, once during the day and once during the night, and the presence of two MODIS sensors in space allows at least four hot-spot observations every two days. Each day updated global maps are compiled to display the locations of all hot spots detected in the previous 24 hours. There is a drop-down list with volcano names which allow users to 'zoom-in' and examine the distribution of hot-spots at a variety of spatial scales.

Lord Have Mercy: Nicki Minaj's Most Ridiculous Outbursts
December 5, 2012 |
By M A
Nicki Minaj isn't a young lady who'll ever be accused of keeping her feelings bottled up. Barbie has an attitude, with mouth and Twitter rep to match, and she isn't about to tone it down anytime soon. So in honor of Nicki's balls-to-the-wall, I-don't-give-a-bleep approach, we salute her 15 most outrageous, most ridiculous, most heated outbursts.
1. Taking Aim At Lil' Kim
Two over-the-top emcees. Too much attitude. We'll give Minaj a little leeway here since Lil' Kim was acting up as well, but that doesn't diminish the foolishness of their back and forth beefing. Coded messages in both Kim and Minaj's rhymes have only helped stoke the flames of this feud. But if that wasn't bad enough, Barbie's 2010 appearance with Angie Martinez on Hot 97 surely was. Barbie went in on the Queen B and didn't hold anything back:
"[Kim] just really jumped out of the window and you got to be careful when you pick fights. That's what I learned in this business. You just never know. I think people get me mistaken with like a real Barbie … they forget where I'm from. If I have to revert back I can, and I will. Don't play with me. I respect you and love you. I've said it in every interview, time and time again. And if that's not good enough for you mama, then it's something deep rooted in you. Something is bothering you inside …"
"She picked a fight with Foxy, she picked a fight with Eve, then she picked a fight with Remy … Every time you're in the news it's cause you getting at somebody"
"Put your music out and when I see your name on Billboard that's when I'll respond to you. Other than that. Goodbye!"
Damn, girl, tell us how you really feel.
2. Beefing With MC
We could have seen this feud brewing a million miles away. Mariah Carey has been known for her share of diva antics, so when she and Minaj were tapped for American Idol duties it was only a matter of time before the claws came out. And come out they did on a video snagged by TMZ. Though it's unclear what started the exchange, Minaj can be heard ranting and raving like a lunatic.
"So every time you patronize me, I'm going to take it back, and if you've got a f**king problem, handle it. I told them I'm not f**kin' putting up with her f**king highness over there."
Oh and let's not forget she apparently threatened to shoot Mrs. Nick Cannon. Way to combat stereotypes. We have no idea where MC would get the impression that Nicki was a gangster with behavior as classy as that.
3. Nicki and Steven Butt Heads
And as if her stint on American Idol wasn't enough of a disaster, Minaj and former judge Steven Tyler have had their own share of run-ins. The Aerosmith frontman criticized Minaj after word of the Mariah Carey feud spread. He then followed those comments up with a few jabs at Minaj's ability to judge talent:
"You just have to give your opinion … These kids, they just got out of a car from the Midwest somewhere and they're in New York City, they're scared to death. If it was Bob Dylan, Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield! Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out, as we did with Phillip Phillips."
Surprisingly, Barbie didn't take the criticism well:
"You assume that I wouldn't have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go f**k yourself and worry about yourself babe."
Easy, chief. Not sure Tyler meant it in that way, but that clearly didn't stop Ms. Minaj.
4. Hot 97 Battle — Part I
DJ Peter Rosenberg is not a Nicki Minaj fan, to say the least. The Hot 97 personality had no qualms about putting Barbie on blast during this year's Summer Jam, criticizing her music and saying that it didn't count as real hip-hop. Not willing to go out like that, Minaj refused to take the stage as Lil' Wayne pulled the plug on the YMCMB appearances. And if pissing off concert goers and organizers wasn't severe enough of a punishment, Minaj went on to Hot 97 with Funkmaster Flex and served up some serious attitude. While there were a number of great daggers Minaj threw, our favorite had to have been:
"There isn't a b***h alive — and when I say b***h I'm including men, because when they act like that they're b****es — there isn't a human being alive, that God has created on this planet earth, that could scare me out of doing a show. I get money. I get money."
5. Hot 97 Battle — Part II
Just when you thought they had made amends, additional Hot 97-Nicki Minaj beefin' arose. Recently, Hot 97 program director Ebro came out swinging on the Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg Show, saying that after he made some comments about how the original controversy with the station could have impacted sales of Pink Friday Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up, Minaj called and ripped him a new one. She demanded that Hot 97 not play her music anymore, which, if it was up to Rosenberg, would probably be a dream come true. But despite Minaj's temper tantrum, Hot 97 still has her tracks in heavy rotation.
6. No, Not Barbara Walters!
Who has issues with Barbara Walters? Seriously. But, yes, our little Nicki got her undies in a bunch when Walters dared to weigh in on the Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey drama. After calling Minaj unpredictable, Walters won herself a nice place at the top of Minaj's s**t list. Taking to her Twitter, Minaj wrote:
"Barbara Walters didn't reach out from our team barbz. I guess we're too dangerous. Don't shake if u don't wannA get shook!!!! LmAooooooooooo."
Walter's reps say they did reach out to Barbie and the gang. Who do you believe?
7. Azealia Banks Beefin'
Twitter strikes again! Nicki Minaj and up-and-comer Azealia Banks got into it on the interwebs after Banks was forced to pull out as the opening act for Minaj's European tour. Minaj then sent a tweet reading #ManTheseBitchesDelirious. Needless to say, that didn't go over so well with Banks, who wasted no time firing back with a few insulting tweets of her own. Our personal favorite, a commentary on Minaj's use of the English language: Did you mean… "delusional?" … Delirious was the wrong word. @NICKIMINAJ. Well played, Banks.
8. It's Her Time?
Slightly different than her feud outbursts, Nicki Minaj's documentary was chock full of some quality ridiculousness of its own. While fans were treated to an inside look into the mind of Barbie, they also got to witness just how off her pinked-out rocker she really is. A sampling of some of her best moments:
"So if I turn up to a photo shoot and you got a $50 clothes budget and some sliced pickles on a motherf**in' board, you know what? No. I am gonna leave. Is that wrong? Wanting more for myself? Wanting people to treat me with respect? You know what? Next time, they know better. But had I accepted the pickle juice, I would be drinking pickle juice right now.
"Are you getting all my cranberries and almonds?"
"Don't get it twisted. It's not about money, it's not about the fame. It's about I don't have to worry about if my little brother is gonna be able to get a new toy for Christmas. It's those little tiny things that really make up the bigger picture. So, my happiness doesn't come from money or fame. My happiness comes from seeing life without struggle."
And obviously from a life full of cranberries and almonds.
9. Twitter Exit
Because Twitter had been such a bastion of civility and kindness for Nicki Minaj, we all keeled over in shock when she decided to delete her account. The result of Minaj's frustration over a leaked song boiled over and she tweeted: "Like seriously, its but so much a person can take. Good f**king bye." But of course, because the world will implode the second a celebrity stops inappropriately tweeting, Minaj hopped back on the social media site before her account was fully deleted.
10. Questionable Taste
She certainly likes to push the envelope and push she did during a performance at the 54th Grammy Awards. Debuting her single Roman Holiday, Minaj incorporated religious imagery such as exorcism, monks and a levitation scene into her performance. Needless to say that didn't go over so well.
President of the Catholic League Bill Donohue issued a statement saying: "Whether Minaj is possessed is surely an open question, but what is not in doubt is the irresponsibility of The Recording Academy. Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam."
11. Mitt Is My Homeboy
Because election season wouldn't be the same without some celebrity ridiculousness., Nicki Minaj decided to throw her two cents in by dropping a line on the track Dedication 4, saying "I'm a Republican, voting for Mitt Romney." As the world desperately tried to keep their composure at the thought of Barbie being camp Mitt, she cleared up any confusion by throwing her support behind President Barack Obama and chalking up the line to creative license and sarcasm. Phew, that was a close one, what would America have done if this chick had gone Republican. Anarchy, we tell you!
12. I Like To Get On Your Nerves
Truer words have never been spoken. In an interview with Out magazine, Minaj finally addressed the backlash behind calling herself Barbie and, as usual, she was incredibly graceful and diplomatic in her response — not.
"So you can call yourself a female dog because that's cool in our community. But if you call yourself a Barbie, that's fake … Once I figure something is irritating people, I'm going to do it more," she says, smiling, "because I like to get on your nerves until you realize how f**king stupid you are."
Thanks, you're so kind.
13. Rihanna and Nicki Get To Know Each Other
On the set of their music video for "Fly," Minaj and fellow loveable hotmess Rihanna gave fans an inside look into their day with a few choice tweets, the most salacious of which was:
"Me and Nikki in our new crib, lol! Gettin busy on set of FLY!!! Its so hard to keep my hands off!"
Like clockwork, the "are they lesbians discussion" started. When those rumors were put to rest, several million men shed a single tear. Too good to be true, fellas.
14. Stupid H**
BET was far from #TeamNicki when the network got a load of the rapper's video for the controversial song Stupid Ho**. The video was banned from BET for its lyrical content and risque images. Though Nicki didn't seem to get her panties in a bunch about the ban, we're going to say Stupid H** is certainly one of her more controversial, ridiculous outbursts. Girl's got some talent, but that video was not doing her any favors.
15. The Remy Ma Fiasco
The rumor mill has constantly churned about Minaj's sexuality, particularly when rumblings of an affair with rapper Remy Ma began to rear their head. But Minaj — and Ma — were quick to shoot those down.
"So now I was a d*ke dat dated remy ma n made a vid dressed as a boy?!?!?!? Lmaooooo U ppl r simple."
Certainly has a way with words, doesn't she?

Q: Uniform continuity of continuous periodic function Defn: Let $f$ be a function from $\mathbb{R}$ into a set $X$. We say that $f$ is periodic if there exists $p>0$ such that for all $x\in \mathbb{R}$, we have $f(x+p)=f(x)$.
Prove: If $f$ is a continuous periodic function from $\mathbb{R}$ into a metric space $M$, then $f$ is uniformly continuous on $\mathbb{R}$.
Attempt: I think I can use the fact that for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, $[x,x+p]$ is a closed and bounded interval. Then $f$ is compact and hence uniformly continuous on the interval.
I also tried considering $[0,p]$. In that case, $x = np+\alpha$ and $y = mp + \beta$ for some $m,p \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $\alpha,\beta \in \mathbb{R}$. If $n<0$, then we can choose $\alpha \in \mathbb{R^\mathbf{-}}$, so that $f(np+\alpha)=f(|\alpha|)$ and not $f(1-\alpha)$. Hope that makes sense.
Then $\alpha,\beta \in [0,p]$, and I can find a $\delta$ that works for all $\alpha, \beta$ in $[0,p]$. The problem is, I need to constrain $|x-y|$ and somehow get that $|\alpha-\beta| < \delta$. So far I haven't figured out how to do this.
Been furrowing my brow at this for a while.. any hints very welcomed...
Thanks

A: For $r>0$ let $s_r\in (0,p)$ such that  $\forall x,y\in [0,2p]\;(|x-y|<s_r\implies |f(x)-f(y)|<r). $
For any $x,y\in \mathbb R$ with  $|x-y|<s_r$ there exists $n\in \mathbb Z$ such that $\{x,y\}\subset [np, (n+2)p].$ Because if $n=\max \{m\in \mathbb Z: mp\leq \min (x,y)\}$  then $\min (x,y)<(n+1)p,$ so $$np\leq \min (x,y)\leq\max (x,y)<\min (x,y)+s_r<(n+1)p+s_r<(n+2)p .$$
Now $\{x-np,y-np\}\subset [0,2p]$ and $|(x-np)-(y-np)|=|x-y|<s_r.\;$  Therefore $$|f(x)-f(y)|=|f(x-np)-f(y-np)|<r.$$

A: HINT:
your idea is to translate each point to the interval $[0,p]$ and hope that the translates are also close by. Better to translate both by the same multiple of p, so that the smaller one lands inside, and the larger one is still guaranteed not too far. So you consider the restriction of your function to [0, p+1]. hope you can continue from here.

'Black pearls,' 'underground empress,' 'the diamonds of the kitchen', truffles are one of the most prized ingredients, partly because of their amazing complexity and depth of flavour, and also because they're incredibly difficult to find, and almost impossible to farm.
That's why we've been working with the Inaudi family - master truffle hunters from the Piedmont region of Northern Italy. They've been collecting these treasures for almost a century now, and they know truffles like no-one else. They love to experiment, creating truffle oils, sauces, and even pasta. And all while placing the amazing, characteristic truffle at centre stage.
Truffles add depth and strength to any Italian dish. If you're looking for an earthy flavour to flavour bomb your recipe, try our Black Truffle and Mushroom sauce. If it's a more subtle flavour you're after try out olive oil infused with truffle.

Field of Dreams on Lansdowne: My Favorite Fenway Opening Day
Everything is Xanderful (for the Next Six Years)
Still The Captain
Denton — December 2, 2010
The Red Sox appear to have made their decision on the catching situation, signing Varitek to a one-year, two million dollar contract. There is an additional potential of $300,000 in incentives. Varitek will serve as back-up and mentor to Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Tek was having a solid season in the back-up role until an injury ended his summer early.
I think this is a great move. As Sean McAdam points out, their skills complement each other nicely:
Both Saltalamacchia and Varitek are switch-hitters, but Saltalamacchia, for now at least, is more proficient from the left side and Varitek more potent from the right side. That split will allow manager Terry Francona to spot Varitek mostly against opposing lefthanded starters.
Saltalamacchia is only 25 years old, and was one a much sought-after young catcher just a couple of years ago. Under the tutelage of a Jason Varitek, perhaps he will finally live up to that potential.
I am one of the few not upset by the non-signing of Victor Martinez. I'm not sure when he turned into Johnny Bench in the eyes of Red Sox Nation, but time will prove the wisdom of letting him go. Four years is far too long for a 32-year-old catcher, who wasn't much of a defensive catcher to begin with. Detroit has already announced he will primarily DH, so they essentially have an aging 13-million-dollar DH who will never be nearly as productive as David Ortiz. Martinez's best year at the plate was 2007 when he hit 25 homers and batted in 114. Papi's worst season with the Sox was his injury-shortened 2008 when he hit 23 homers and had 89 RBI.
Bring on the Tek/Salty combo, and let's see where the Sox spend Martinez's money.

These monopoly-money contracts are ruining the game (ruining all majorleague sports). But the man- behind-the-curtain will be the stadium builders. Hey, the Toronto park is entertaining, but we don't need one in Boston.
Prediction: eventually, the stadium-building mafia will make enough noise that Fenway will get replaced (if it is torn down, and not made a permanent National Historical Monument, somebody needs to get whacked. We'll be asking where is Raymond Patriarca Sr. when we need him?), and then see if you can get a Red Sox ticket in center field for under $200. Bah Humbug, and Merry Christmas to all Red Sox Nation citizens anyway...
Keeping Varitek? Good. If he plays 50-60 games and shows Saltamacchia how to handle the staff, he's worth it. 2 million is a tiny contract today for a clubhouse leader who still sometimes can hit. And he doesn't need to catch Tim Wakefield, if HE stays...
English Sox Fan 5pts
The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a deal in principle to acquire slugging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Saturday morning.
The Red Sox have received permission from Major League Baseball to negotiate with Gonzalez on a new contract, the sources said, and Gonzalez's physical examination, one of last hurdles to the deal, could happen Saturday, when Gonzalez was expected to be in Boston.
The Padres would not receive any established major league players in the trade, but it's likely the Red Sox would include their top pitching prospect, Casey Kelly, sources have said.
Gonzalez is the Padres' most popular player, with great crossover appeal to the team's Mexican-American market, a native son who carried San Diego to within a game of a playoff spot in 2010.
He is signed through 2011 at $6.3 million. The Padres exercised his 2011 option on Nov. 1. His contract called for a $5.5 million salary, but performance bonuses pushed the figure above $6 million.
Acquiring Gonzalez, while signing one of two free-agent outfielders, Carl Crawford or Jayson Werth, would give the Red Sox their most potent offensive lineup since the Manny Ramirez trade to the Dodgers in 2008 and make clear why they were willing to lose free agents Victor Martinez and potentially Adrian Beltre.
The Red Sox have long coveted the 28-year-old Gonzalez. As far back as the 2009 trading deadline, the Red Sox made a pitch for Gonzalez, a three-time All-Star who last season finished fourth in balloting for the National League's Most Valuable Player.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound left-handed hitter batted .298 with 31 home runs and 101 RBIs for the Padres last season. He finished fifth in the National League in on-base percentage (.393), ninth in slugging (.511) and led the league in hitting with runners in scoring position (.407). Opposing pitchers issued 35 intentional walks to Gonzalez last season, a number exceeded only by Albert Pujols.
In addition to his offensive prowess, Gonzalez is a gifted defender, having won two Gold Gloves in five full seasons.
Rumour has it that Casey Kelly will almost certainly be part of the deal.
I don't know much about Kelly, but everything I've heard/read says he's the dog's bollocks, as we say here in England.

Hadn't heard this about Papelbon/Rivera either:
According to multiple reports, the Sox offered iconic Yankees closer and free agent Mariano Rivera a two-year contract at $15 million per season. Later, word leaked that the Yankees will meet with free agent outfielder Carl Crawford, a primary Red Sox target.
Rivera is reportedly close to re-signing with the Yanks for nearly identical terms of the Red Sox' reported bid.
The Sox offered arbitration to closer Jonathan Papelbon [stats], but according to ESPN.com, they were prepared to non-tender him before Thursday night's deadline if they worked out a deal with Rivera.
Papelbon is one year from free agency, so the Red Sox' interest in Rivera only heightens the belief that they're listening to trade offers for their current closer. The Sox might also have been exploring a Rivera signing knowing it likely would mean driving up his price for the Yankees.
Wow, looks like the A-Gon thing is progressing!

Bernice Bowles "Fitz" Fitz-Gibbon (Waunakee, 6 de septiembre de 1894 – Onalaska, 22 de febrero de 1982) fue una redactora y ejecutiva de publicidad estadounidense que fue pionera en la industria publicitaria de retail, trabajando para los grandes almacenes Marshall Field's, Macy's, Gimbels y Wanamaker's. Fue incluida en el Salón de la Fama de la Publicidad en 1982.

Biografía

Fitz-Gibbon nació en Waunakee, Wisconsin y creció en una granja. Se graduó en la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison, y trabajó en pequeños periódicos antes de comenzar a trabajar en Marshall Field's. En Nueva York, Fitz-Gibbon trabajó como redactora publicitaria entre 1926 y 1940 para los grandes almacenes Macy's donde escribió el lema "Es inteligente ser ahorrador". Desde 1940 hasta 1954, Fitz-Gibbon dirigió el departamento de publicidad de Gimbels, incluyendo en su equipo numerosas redactoras publicitarias. En esa etapa escribió el eslogan "Nadie, pero nadie, supera a Gimbels".

Fitz-Gibbon fue pionera en la creación de eventos, como desfiles de moda, conferencias y demostraciones de productos, dentro de los propios centros comerciales como forma de promoción. En Gimbels, Fitz-Gibbon era conocida por sus "Fitzkreigs", descritos como "un bombardeo de palabras que brotan del cerebro afilado y altamente imaginativo de la señorita Fitz-Gibbon".Se casó con Herman Block en 1925, falleciendo este en 1951. Fitz-Gibbon continuó su ascenso y tuvo una fuerte disputa con el escritor estadounidense Sloan Wilson sobre la presencia de mujeres en el lugar de trabajo. En 1954, Fitz-Gibbon fundó su propia agencia de publicidad, desde la que formó e impulsó la carrera de muchas mujeres para que pudieran convertirse en redactoras publicitarias.

Después de recibir numerosos premios de la industria publicitaria, Fitz-Gibbon se retiró a Madison, Wisconsin en 1976. Murió en Onalaska, Wisconsin.

The Missing Key
(December 1984)
From Socialist Worker Review, No. 71, December 1984, pp. 20–22.

CHRIS HARMAN reviews a new book on Ireland
Communism is Modern Ireland: the pursuit of the Workers' Republic since 1919
Mike Milotte
Gill and Macmillan £25 (available through the Bookmarx Club for £8.95)
THE HISTORY of modern Ireland presents two great contradictions. It was one of the first countries to experience a massive bourgeois nationalist revolt, in 1798, long before countries like Germany or Italy, let alone China and India. Yet while most of these late comers have achieved national unity and independence, Ireland is still split in two. Its six north eastern counties remain as Britain's last major colony, and its political life is very much dominated by the unresolved business of the era of the French revolution.
It was shaken in the first half of the twentieth century by upsurges of working class struggle more powerful and radical than those in the cities of Britain – the great strikes in Belfast in 1907 and 1919, the Dublin lock-out of 1913, the Belfast unemployed agitation of 1932 and the wartime strikes in defence of union rights in that city in 1942 and 1944. Yet the socialist or Labour Parties have been weaker, in both the North and the South, than anywhere else in Europe.
Mike Milotte sees these two contradictions as being intimately connected.
His central contention is that of James Connolly in Labour in Irish History and that of Leon Trotsky in his theory of permanent revolution. The local bourgeoisie was too weak and too bound by ties to British capitalism ever to be able to lead the sort of uncompromising struggle needed to bring national unity and independence. The national question could never be fully resolved except by independent working class activity.
Indeed, he sees the general argument about permanent revolution as having special strength in the case of Ireland.
Modern large scale industry was for a very long time virtually confined to the area around Belfast where the overwhelming majority of the workforce were from Protestant backgrounds. There was (and still is) systematic discrimination when it came to getting jobs, particularly skilled jobs. The large engineering and shipbuilding plants of the area always employed about nine Protestants to every one Catholic (in an island where only a quarter of the population were Protestant) and unemployment in the area was always about twice as high among Catholics as Protestants.
All this made it possible for these workers to be bound to a political machine controlled by Anglo-Irish landed and industrial interests who opposed the national movement. The Protestant workers feared any change which would open them up to the possibility of being ruled by a government which might destroy or even reverse the pattern of discrimination. The result was that the section of the bourgeoisie most adamantly opposed to national independence and unity had a very powerful weapon at its disposal.
It was this binding of Protestant workers to Orangeism that above all enabled the British to establish and maintain the Northern Ireland statelet when they were driven out of the rest of Ireland in 1921.
Once partition had taken place, the dream of the Southern middle class of building a stable modern state was thwarted. The South simply did not have the resources to achieve a sustained independent momentum of industrialisation. Modern industry did not really begin to develop until 40 years after independence – and then it was on the basis of deals with foreign capital, not on the basis of any self-contained national capitalism.
BUT IT was not only the national movement that was broken by partition. So was the socialist movement. Until the First World War it was possible for socialists to believe that the sectarian divide in the working class of the Belfast area would simply break down in the course of quite low key working class struggles.
After all, this was what happened in many parts of Britain (Lancashire, Merseyside, Glasgow and Edinburgh, the North-East). The working class in these places were divided very much along sectarian lines right up until the first decade of the twentieth century. This was a result of old established, mainly Protestant, workers turning against more recent Irish immigrants. Yet these divisions were broken down relatively easily in the period before and after World War One by the spread of mass trade unionism on the one hand and the very tame propaganda of the Independent Labour Party on the other (with its plea for 'Liberal, Tory and Socialist workers' to forget political differences' and unite to elect Labour representatives who were 'independent' of the existing parties).
Both Jim Larkin and James Connolly seem to have assumed such a development as the Bill to establish a 32 county home rule parliament went through the British House of Commons in 1912. The mainly Protestant members of the Belfast trade unions would, they felt, have no choice but to unite with Catholic trade unionists elsewhere in the country to press their common interests.
Such hopes were wrecked once the island was split into two states. As Connolly had predicted, partition meant 'a carnival of reaction, North and South'.
The working class in the North-East – at least half the national total – was bound even more tightly than before to Orangeism. Sectarianism did not undergo a long term decline in Belfast as it did in, say, Liverpool and Glasgow. There were periods in which reformist political organisations (especially the Northern Ireland Labour Party) seemed to make good progress, collecting up to a third of the vote. But they were smashed once the issue of the network of institutions that provided Protestant workers with advantages over Catholics was raised. This was true whether the question was pushed to the fore by Unionist politicians seeking to reassert their hold (as in the mid-1930s) or by Catholics demanding equal rights (as in the late 1960s).
Reformism in the North broke again and again on the rock of the Northern state: it was trying to get reforms through a state which rested on institutionalised division within the working class.
Reformism in the South was just as weak. It was possible to build quite powerful unions in Dublin and a few other towns: the heritage of 1913 was a very powerful tendency towards syndicalism. But Southern capitalism was too weak to be able to afford much in the way of state-distributed reforms.
The Southern Labour Party would grow for a period by campaigning for reforms, and then would very quickly lose support by entering coalition governments which could not deliver even the most meagre of gains for workers or small farmers.
The experience of betrayal at the hands of Labour ministers did not even lead, in the main, to the sort of left Labourism we know in Britain.
Instead, the most discontented workers, unemployed and poor farmers, turned from the idea of reforms through the state to Republican ideas of one sort or another. The main beneficiary of Labour's failure was the party of native Irish capitalism, Fianna Fail, with its claim to stand for fulfilment of national demands because its historic leader, De Valera, refused to endorse the treaty in 1921 and stood up the British in the 'economic war' of the 1930s.
The other beneficiaries were the hardline Republicans who ascribed the failure of either Labour or Fianna Fail to improve people's conditions to the continuing occupation of part of the island by Britain.
Reaction in the North and reaction in the South did indeed feed off each other. Without the weight which the workers of the North would have provided, resistance by the left in the South to clerical domination of the state was severely, often fatally weakened. Socialists were literally forced to keep quiet or even to flee abroad by church-inspired persecution. And clerical domination of the South reinforced all the prejudices of Northern Protestant workers.
MIKE MILOTTE argues that there was (and is) a way out of this double impasse. It lay in building an alternative to both working class reformist politics and non-working class republican politics: in revolutionary socialist working class politics.
Only by fighting both the Southern and the Northern states can you present an alternative that appeals to Protestant as well as Catholic workers, which overcomes the limitations both of reformism and Republicanism.
The book contains a wealth of detail, both about working class struggles and about the role of Communists in them, that no review can do justice to. Where else can you read about the coal and rail strikes in the 26 counties in the 1930s, the Belfast unemployed riots of 1932, the wartime strikes in the North's engineering factories and shipyards, the unemployed agitation in Dublin in the mid-1950s, the Republican Congress movement of the early 1930s and the rise of the civil rights movement in the late 1960s?
What emerges again and again from this detail is the way people, North and South of the border, have been attracted towards ideas they see as revolutionary socialist.
Every time the Republican movement faced a major crisis, some of its members moved seriously to the left: this was true as it faced defeat in the civil war in 1923, it was true after De Valera split from it in the years 1928–32, and it was true yet again after the failure of the guerrilla raids across the border in the 1950s.
Every time there was a real upsurge of working class struggle individual worker militants were won to a politics which seemed to go beyond the pale reformism of the Northern and Southern Labour parties – even though this meant Northern Protestants breaking with Orangeism and the politics of partition.
But Mike's history is also the history of the failure of these individuals to congeal into a revolutionary workers' party that could provide continuing leadership to much wider layers of the class.
In part the failure came from objective circumstances: the all too real pressures of unemployment and enforced emigration on militants, the way the Church put the ideological boot in every time there was a downturn in struggle, even the simple difficulty of finding the resources to get out a regular paper in a small country with an impoverished working class.
In part the failure came from the sheer complexity of the strategic and tactical issues facing even the smallest revolutionary organisation in Ireland: how do you relate both to Republican activists who are involved in military confrontation with the state but do not understand anything about trade unionism and to trade union activists who have not yet fully broken with a reformism that identifies with the state?
How do you operate (indeed, at some points, even stay alive) in the sectarian, Orange working class communities in the North without backtracking on the fight against the Orange state?
How, in practice, do you push independent working class struggles in the South and the Catholic ghettoes of the North, without abstaining from the struggle Republicans are waging against the state – especially at times when the workers' struggle is at a low ebb and the military struggle seems all important?
These were very real problems, Mike shows, for the young Communist Party led by Roddy Connolly in the early 1920s, and they have been just as big a problem for revolutionaries in the last 16 years.
However, the decisive element in the failure Mike sees as lying in neither of these things, but in the impact of the Stalinism in completely distorting any discussion on strategy and tactics.
Even as early as the mid-1920s the Communist International ordered the Communist Party of Ireland to dissolve itself into an apparently larger organisation led by Jim Larkin – even though this seems to have been little more than a product of Larkin's imagination, with no branches, no meetings, no programme and no existence except for the purposes of parliamentary elections.
In the early 1930s the line from Moscow was to castigate all and sundry as 'social fascists' and 'bourgeois reactionaries' – and that the Communists (then called the Revolutionary Workers' Groups) duly did, making it all but impossible for them to build any sustained base out of the very hard and heroic work they did around particular struggles.
The line changed in the mid 1930s and the Communists quickly jumped to the opposite extreme, seeking popular fronts with Fianna Fail in the South (although by then it was attacking both the working class and the Republicans) and with 'progressive unionists' in the North. This attempt to placate at the same time people who were verbally anti-partitionist in the South and ardent supporters of partition in the North culminated in two separate parties, divided by the border.
Mike's book ends by looking at the last ten years. This is the most disappointing part of it: because its subject matter is 'official' Communism it does not seriously look at what genuine revolutionary socialists have done or could have done. So although it tells you some interesting things about the Stalinist influenced Workers' Party, it tells you less about those who are the real heirs of the people who formed the first Communist Party in 1921.
All you get are hints about what could be said. Because the new revolutionaries were not ruined by Stalinist conceptions, they could take the initiative in pushing forward the struggle of the Northern Catholics in 1968-69. But their youth and lack of theoretical clarity meant they did not have any real inkling of what that struggle would unleash.
Above all they did not have even the embryo of a party that would enable them to fight for a socialist programme within the civil rights movement and to make sense of that programme to at least some of the more advanced trade unionists among the Protestant workers.
The result was that they were squeezed out of the leadership of the movement in the Catholic ghettoes by the Provos and walled off by Loyalist thugs from even communicating with Protestant workers.
WE HAVE been through more than a decade in which the only place in which revolutionary socialists could base themselves on real working class struggle has been in the South. But here too there have been very great difficulties.
The 1970s were in some ways the most successful period in the history of the Southern bourgeoisie. Successful manipulation of Common Market mechanisms attracted multinational capital, enabling a growth of industry, a rationalisation of agriculture, an improvement in workers' and small farmers' living standards, and for the first time in a century and a half, a higher level of re-immigration than of emigration.
For a period many of the features that had made the state so potentially unstable in the past were banished. It was as if the Irish bourgeoisie had been able to achieve its historic dream of nationhood, but within the cramped confines of the 26 counties. And the sense of security this gave to the middle classes translated itself into a certain placidity in the working class. Significantly, the rising political organisation within the working class in the late 1970s was the Workers' Party (the one time official Sinn Fein) with its gospel of reforms, collaboration with state and foreign capital to build up the national economy, and acceptance of the border.
Meanwhile, revolutionary socialists who had once been able to unleash movements which shook the Northern state to its foundations, found themselves consigned to the margins of political life.
Today there are some indications that the situation is once again changing. The Southern state's debts are beginning to catch up with it, inflation is damaging workers' living standards, unemployment is creating deep pools of discontent and rising emigration is once more eroding the general sense of stability. One symptom of this is an increase in Southern working class support for the Proves; another is an increase in the level of police repression.
One of the things which comes through very clearly in Mike Milotte's book is the way small groups of socialists have in the past moved very quickly from being marginal to being at the centre of great struggles. The difficulty, of course, is that you can only prepare for the moment when such quick movement is possible by the long, slow, arduous work of building at least the beginnings of a coherent organisation. That is the task our comrades in the Socialist Workers' Movement in Ireland have set themselves. If they are successful, they will have helped to provide the missing key to the Irish situation.

As a business owner, you are continually looking to develop your online presence, and having a Google My Business page is crucial to doing just that. Most of the clients we come across either have multiple listings that are confusing their potential customers or don't have a listing at all which is thereby sending customers to competitors. So, I decided to write a blog post about how to create a Google My Business listing, and condition it to make a strong online presence for your business.


What would you cook on a brand new BBQ grill? Those of you who follow Seasonal Eating's Facebook page know that after many grill-less years, my husband Bruce finally bought a gas grill on Memorial Day weekend. I appreciate all the "what to grill" suggestions from readers, and you will no doubt be seeing future posts about them. Please share any of your other favorite to-grill foods in a comment below!
For our first to-be-grilled food, I thought of a chance encounter with a young, good-looking butcher at Staff of Life Market years ago. I was presented with a dilemma: leg of lamb on sale at a ridiculously low price, but only two people at home to eat it. This butcher had all the answers, including how to cook it and freeze the leftovers. He said to cut it into thick steaks and marinate it in balsamic vinegar and garlic, then grill it. When I asked for details about cutting up steaks, he offered to do it for me. Was there any reason not to go for it?
The butcher also suggested that I freeze some of the meat. I did freeze it, after grilling. It was surprisingly good weeks afterwards, retaining the smoky sweet BBQ flavor and the lamby pungency. Chops broiled in the oven just cannot compare.
If you don't have time to make the garlic slivers and insert them into the meat, you can press the garlic and add it to the marinade instead. Use more garlic if you do that, maybe 6 cloves. Keep in mind that the lamb will be tastier with the garlic slivers in the meat itself, though. Perhaps ask someone who likes using knives to help you.
Mint sauce recipe is in next post.
Enjoy the (grilling) season and do leave a comment about meats, veggies, or fruits that you like to grill.
Cut the garlic lengthwise into small slivers. Cut small slits in surfaces of lamb chops and slide garlic slivers into slits.
Salt and pepper lamb chops. Lay flat in large ziplock bag. Add marinade and squeeze out as much air as possible, seal bag. Put on plate (to catch possible drips) and refrigerate. Marinate at least 6 hours, 8 is better. Flip bag over every hour or two so both sides of meat are equally marinated.
For gas grill, soak wood chips in water for 1 hour before grilling. Drain well and put into smoker box.
Oil the grill lightly, or use a no-stick cooking spray before lighting. Light a burner and add the smoker box above the burner. Close lid and wait till grill fills up with smoke.
Drain marinade from lamb chops and discard. Place lamb chops on a plate and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
When grill enclosure is smoky, turn on searing burner (or main burner) on high for 15 minutes or until grill is hot. Put lamb chops on grill and close lid. Grill for 2 minutes and flip, close grill, and grill other side of meat for 2 minutes.
Turn burner down to medium. Cook 5 minutes. Open grill and flip meat. Cook 5 minutes on other side. Check internal temperature of thinnest chop with meat thermometer. If it's 145 degrees or more, and you like it rare, it's ready. Check temperature of other chops, thicker ones will take longer. Check temperature every 3 minutes, flipping as needed. Remove chops from grill onto clean plate.
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the chops by cutting into the center. This method is less desirable because the juices will run out of these cuts.
When removed from grill, let meat rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with Mint Sauce (recipe in next post) if desired.

The Postmen's Federation was a trade union representing postal workers in the United Kingdom.

In 1889, a "Postmen's Union" was founded in Clerkenwell by Tom Dredge and John Lincoln Mahon.  This dissolved after many of its members were sacked, but two years later, C. Churchfield established the "Postmen's Federation" as a more cautious organisation.  It immediately recruited 3,721 members, and survived, offering welfare benefits to members from 1895 and publishing The Postmen's Gazette.

By 1901, the union was becoming more confident, and felt able to affiliate to the Trades Union Congress and the Labour Representation Committee.  Membership was over 31,000 by 1906.

In 1912, George Harold Stuart was elected as general secretary; Duncan Campbell-Smith describes him as the "single most impressive officer among all the postal union staffs".  Under his leadership, the union began admitting women.  It negotiated a merger with the Fawcett Association and the Postal and Telegraph Clerks' Association in 1919, forming the Union of Post Office Workers.

Trent Williams says he asked Redskins to remove tumor multiple times
Trent Williams maintains that the way the Washington Redskins misdiagnosed a health condition he was dealing with for several years could have cost him his life, and the All-Pro tackle shared some more details this week about just how dismissive team doctors were when he repeatedly expressed concerns.
Williams says he first informed the Redskins in 2013 that he was concerned about a growth on his head. Team doctors repeatedly told him it was a benign cyst. When Williams asked to be sent to a dermatologist in 2016, he says he was once again told the growth was a cyst and nothing to worry about.
While speaking with Mike Jones of USA Today this week, Williams revealed that he asked Redskins team doctors to remove the growth on his head on three separate occasions. The first was in 2017, when he was going to be sedated for a knee procedure and asked if the growth could be removed at the same time. Team doctors reassured Williams that it "wasn't that serious." He asked about the removal again during two separate procedures in 2018 — one where he was sedated for thumb surgery and another for a different knee procedure. He says he was told to wait until the offseason.
Not long after that, in January 2019, Williams had a biopsy of the growth and was informed it was cancerous. Doctors told him the cancer cells were mere weeks away from penetrating his skull. At that point, he says team owner Daniel Snyder flew him all around in a private jet so he could get the proper medical care.
Williams was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list this week, which means Washington can keep him on the roster without having to pay him. There are also some questions about whether his contract, which has two years remaining on it, will toll. Williams said he still has no intention of playing for the Redskins in 2020, and he feels any effort they are making to investigate the handling of his medical situation is only to cover themselves.
"I mean, I do want to play football still and I'm not a free agent until after the 2020 season, so who knows," Williams told USA Today. "But the bridge has definitely been burned, and any efforts now, basically are, in my opinion, pretty much just CYA (cover your a–)."
All of the allegations Williams has made against Washington are incredibly troubling, and he is not the only player who has accused the team of that sort of thing. If the Redskins want the Williams situation to go away, their best bet is to trade him this offseason.
