Mi Casa Es Tu Casa
30 Mar 12
Students of the University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) have traveled to far reaches of the world in the past month, from South America to Africa and Asia, on study trips to discover local food cultures, traditions, histories and ecologies. In addition to a line-up of local experts, cooks, farmers and producers, the students are now increasingly being greeted by UNISG graduates who, having returned to their homelands, offer a unique perspective.
In Ecuador, students met 2010 graduate Claudia Garcia in the country's capital Quito, the starting point for their discovery of the national gastronomy. Between lectures on food security, seed saving and cultural influences on cuisine, students sampled seasonal fruit ice-creams; discovered local varieties of tubers and cereals; experienced the production of chawarmishky, a traditional agave nectare; and visited high-altitude Arabic coffee plantations, a tropical fruit project, sustainable prawn farming and several cocoa plantations.
"Accompanying the students on their trip across the Andes, I saw my homeland with different eyes, shaped by my own studies, travels and taste experiences while at the UNISG," said Claudia, who is now involved in a national campaign for responsible food habits called ¡Qué rico es comer sano y de mi tierra! as well as organizing Ecuador's first food film festival. "Seeing each ecosystem, from the highlands to tropical forests to mangroves, and tasting the foods produced in these environments presented unique learning experiences for the students, and reinforced my own curiosity and identity."
In Kenya, students met several UNISG graduates who are currently coordinating Slow Food projects, including the association's vice-president John Kariuki. John, who graduated in 2009, is working with local convivia (Slow Food's local groups) and communities, primarily on the Thousand Gardens in Africa project and Presidia projects. He was able to give the students an insightful introduction to the local food culture and current problems faced by small-scale farmers.
"We took them to visit some of the activities we are engaged in, applying the knowledge gained at UNISG, and the students really enjoyed learning and sharing with the communities," said John. "The students themselves were very open to all the situations and conditions we encountered, giving them a genuine experience of Kenyan life and food."
Over the course of their stay, the students' gastronomic experiences included meeting, and tasting, Kenya's five unusual Slow Food presidia: Nzoia river reed salt, Pokot ash yoghurt, Mau forest dried nettles, Molo mushunu chicken and Lare pumpkin. Their exposure to local varieties and cuisines also came through meeting the pupils, farmers and communities involved in Slow Food gardens, and other producers such as local sugar cane producers in Emuhaya and coffee and tea producers in Kabazi.
"Despite our many nationalities and backgrounds at the UNISG, we are united by a shared commitment to change the way we relate to food," said John. "These study trips build shared experiences among us, strengthen our networks and give us a foundation to truly understand what food means in different parts of the world."
UNISG undergraduate and post-graduate programs include a series of study trips, taking students out of the classroom and into direct contact with the people and places where food is made across Europe and the world. Study trips give students the chance to learn about production - from scientific theory to traditional techniques – and food cultures directly from farmers and producers, processors and chefs. So far in 2012, groups of UNISG students have also traveled to Mexico, India and Uganda as well as various regions of Europe.
More detailed descriptions of these study trips can be found on the web site: www.unisg.it
UNISG was founded by Slow Food eight years ago, with support from the Regions of Piedmont and Emilia Romagna, and has welcomed more than 1,000 students from more than 60 countries.

Contrary to what broadcast television's fall schedules might suggest, the revamped trend of using comicbooks as source material for TV shows has been hot for a while — even if the brains behind the networks' programming slates have a hard time remembering that.

Continuing our week-long rundown of broadcast TV's latest and greatest offerings, we now look to Fox. And Fox is in some trouble. The network lost a huge chunk of its audience last season due primarily to aging product (looking at you, American Idol), and then the powers that be gave programming head Kevin Reilly the heave-ho before the ad sales division had a chance to shift all the inventory in their new slate. That's kind of a shame, because it's a slate with some serious cojones, even if nothing is a total slam dunk. There are five new fall series on Fox, one of which (Utopia) has already begun life— ish —with three nontraditional dramas and a traditional sitcom getting ready to go in the next few weeks. It's worth noting my analysis below (as with my take on ABC's lineup ) is based on each series' pilot, and shows often change in their later episodes.Read More

Fox has struck a deal with Steven Spielberg's production company, Amblin TV, to produce a television pilot based on the director's highly acclaimed sci-fi flick Minority Report, Deadline.com reports . The 2002 Twentieth Century Fox film, which starred Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell and Max von Sydow, was an adaptation of science fiction writer Philip K. Dick's short story of the same name. The movie won very favorable reviews. The film and short story take place in the near future, when a "precrime" unit in Washington D.C. arrests people based on the visions of telepaths, before crimes are ever committed. Things go wrong for the protagonist when he is seen committing a murder in the future and goes on the lam with a kidnapped telepath, or "precog." The plot of the TV series is reportedly going to pick up the story where the movie leaves off. Taking place 10 years after the precrime unit is disbanded, the show will focus on one of the surviving male precogs who is trying to lead a normal life. The precog is haunted by visions of the future and meets a detective who is having trouble with her past. Max Borenstein, who wrote the screenplay for the latest film version of Godzilla, will reportedly handle showrunning duties for the Minority Report series. It remains to be seen if the series can match the movie's sharp vision of a dystopian future of floating cars, invasive mini-robots launched by SWAT squads, and eyeball transplants by dodgy doctors to fool security systems. Fox has taken chances on other sci-fi series with varying degrees of success. This time, the channel is betting on the pedigree of Spielberg and the success of the original film.Read More
MAC Cosmetics is producing a Simpsons-themed cosmetics line —including eyeshadow, lip gloss, blush, mascara and nail stickers—to honor the show's 25th anniversary. One can only imagine the challenges they faced getting this out of R&D. For one thing, the show's color palette doesn't really look good on anyone. The dominant color is yellow, and one of the cartoon's enduring design characteristics revolves around not making anyone, including celebrities, look too attractive. This obviously clashes with beauty products. (The lip gloss colors alone are called Grand Pumpkin, Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy, Nacho Cheese Explosion and Red Blazer.) "We are celebrating the country's favorite animated family and its beloved matriarch Marge with a vibrant color collection that screams That Trillion Dollar Look," the brand says. "Our classic formulas and finishes you love are to blue dye for with an animated twist. All in limited-edition packaging that can only be described in one word: Eeeeexcellent." Also, the show has been bad to the point of unwatchable for at least 10 years, so they're chasing a vanishing audience that mostly watches out of habit with stuff that will make them look, at best, super weird. Not to mention, any real Simpsons fan involved in this project would have made at least one shade of lip gloss that referenced the monorail episode.Read More

When the NFL negotiated with TV networks on the rights to broadcast eight "Thursday Night Football" games this season, the contract stipulated that term was only for one year, that games would air simultaneously on the league's own NFL Network and that the winning bidder would cover all production costs on all sixteen "Thursday Night Football" broadcasts (including two Saturday games). "Media companies lined up to bid anyway," The Wall Street Journal reported. CBS ultimately prevailed, agreeing to pay $300 million for the broadcast rights, with the first game in the new lineup premiering next week (tonight's season opener is being broadcast by NBC as part of an earlier agreement). The negotiation and what CBS paid illustrate the extreme leverage the NFL wields with networks. NBC, CBS and ESPN together have contracts that make up between $5 and $5 billion per year to broadcast NFL games through the 2021-22 season. "It's almost like the networks are afraid to say no to the NFL," one senior executive told The Wall Street Journal. Anyone in a traditional TV exec's shoes would be. While networks face threats like the rise of streaming video services, the NFL offers a bankable product that consumers won't just wait to catch on Netflix. According to securities firm Jefferies Group, 97 percent of all sports are watched live. Add to that the NFL's short season and 17.4 million average regular season game viewers in the 18-49 demo and each game becomes a hot ticket. At the same time, the NFL is amping up its digital push by offering new or expanded online programs. This includes NFL Now, a new online video service offering NFL-made films, shows, documentaries and new footage from teams for $1.99 per month. The NFL also is strengthening a one-year agreement with Twitter to tweet highlights from in-progress games and increasing the number of games streamed to smart phones as part of a four-year, $1 billion agreement with Verizon. As The Wall Street Journal notes, both of these deals include rights denied of the NFL's television broadcast partners. What's more, some television executives fear that NFL Now will stream games directly to fans. Brian Rolapp, evp of media for the NFL, doesn't rule out such a possibility. "If the world shifts dramatically as people think, it'll be nice to have an asset like NFL Now just like it's nice to have NFL Network," he told the Journal, adding that "selling game-streaming rights to an online company is a matter of 'when, not if.'" DirecTV also finds itself backed against a wall in negotiations with the NFL.Read More

Let's see a GWS 29 from Mr. Lin
Just sign in if you would like GWS to make a FULCRUM.
Let see what the result will be.
I would prefer the same size as GWS-15 with 64mm size fans or even more scale 55mm fans.
Be first to make it Mr.Lin
You can tell I'm an Fulcrum fan.

3 so far
My guess is we need 333 more inputs to be noticable for GWS.
Remember, their goal is profits based on quantity.
Not high pricing like some flimsy depron model producers, won't mention them now...

Hell yeah! this is a design thats undermodelled, and ideal for edf. It has good intake and outlet area, good wing area and good space for battery storage. Edf-64's would be ideal, because then when if my me262 dies, I can use the same gear in a MiG. Colours are plentiful with over 30 user countries too. Please Mr.Lin make us a MiG!

Heck, any Mig, or Sukoi for that matter, will turn my fancy. Mig-15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, or Su-17, 22, 24, 27, 37, 47. A Frogfoot would be the bee's knees.
You make it, I'll buy it!
|Jul 20, 2007, 08:48 PM
What about the size?
According to the past monthes experience, those models for twin BL motors cost to much for most flyers!
I will think to make twin smaller!
EDF50 or EDF40 will be better for twins! Smaller ESC, smaller Li-Po pack,.... Total cost less!
Or you still prefer a size like 262 and F15?
We alrady planning to make many single EDF75 like A4, J10, ....
Cheap, but still feel powerful.
|Jul 20, 2007, 09:35 PM
Read my Avatar, bigger is better!
|Jul 20, 2007, 10:23 PM
The bigger size would be better. A little version would be cool, but the bigger version wouldn't be that much more, and could handle a bit of a breeze. The EDF-64 size would be better for GWS to because they make a brushless alternative to the 64, but not for the 50 or 40. Having it the same size will also complement the existed A-4 and GWS-15.
Go the MiG!

I disagree. I think GWS models are starting to get to big (just a little) They used to be great because you could take them to the local soccer field and fly them. Now they are getting bigger (and hence faster). The F-15 needs a large space to fly in - no way you should fly it in a soccer field, and it's BIG - it takes up a lot of room if built in one piece.
I think that edf 55 sized one would be OK. I really like the 55's but they only ever came out with one model for it. I think a twin 55 is the way to go.

Bigger is better for flying, bigger is better for getting decent size motors and decent airflow. But bigger is (much) more expensive. Read Mr Lin's words:
According to the past monthes experience, those models for twin BL motors cost to much for most flyers!
I don't think he means what he reads here, I think he's talking about his sales figures reflecting in a significantly lesser demand than he might normally expect for a new model. (If I'm right I get no satisfaction from being able to say "told you so" - months ago) .
Look at the market guys - there's a bunch of edf jets coming out but they're mostly dinks in the size stakes, using 40 or 50mm fans.
I'm not saying that GWS shouldn't do big ones, I'm not saying there isn't a demand. What I AM saying is that once your flight pack - battery, esc and propulsion unit - starts to cost four, five or six times what the model cost you've moved into a different market and GWS need to take account of that in their Capex and new model planning.
This is a real guess but I'd take a bet that P-38 about met sales expectations, 262 low side, 190 on track, AT-6 slightly low, F-15 will fall short fairly big time and P-40 will exceed expectations.
Can you tell the difference between these two people? Joe expects to spend $200-300 on the kit to go into a plane. He's delighted to find a quality plane which only costs $50 to carry his kit. Jerry wants to spend no more than $30-50 on his plane and would like to get it into the air for not much more than the same again. GWS has traditionally has sold to the Jerrys of this world. There are many more Jerrys than Joes. For big EDF kit you need Joes. That's the way I see it?

I see the GWS 15 under $100 with motors included at tower h. site (coming soon)
What else to ask for, price is great. EDF's are more expensive by at least 30% than prop models. COOL factor is always expensive.
Mig-29 can be offered for same price.
Mr.Lin, regarding the size, 55mm fans is minimum for flyable jet.
Or reduced size micro jet for edf-40s with Feigaos or Medusa motors would do the job. Note also cost won't get much down unless you sell micro sized jet for $45 or less!!
I built 36"ws SU-25 with 17oz AUW few years back and flew it all day long on stock edf-40 units on 2s 1500 tanic packs. It was much faster than GWS a-10 I had at the time.

Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that Ultimate has again been named to FORTUNE magazine's list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For." Ultimate is the only human capital management provider on this prestigious list and the highest ranked cloud technology provider.
FORTUNE chooses the 100 Best Companies to Work For by partnering with the Great Place to Work Institute each year to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. More than 277,000 employees from participating companies responded to a survey created by the institute, a global research and consulting firm operating in 45 countries around the world. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management's credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third is based on company responses to the institute's Culture Audit. Some of the other companies on the 2013 list along with Ultimate are: Google, Dreamworks, Mercedes-Benz, Whole Foods, Microsoft, Capital One, American Express, Goldman Sachs, Starbucks, and Federal Express.
"Ultimate began as a small team of people who had full trust in the initial vision. They were hard working and talented, and we wanted to take care of them. Twenty-three years later, our strong commitment to our employees is still the same. We thank our more than 1,600 employees today for making this recognition and many other successes happen for us," said Scott Scherr, CEO, president, and founder of Ultimate.
"Putting employees first is the keystone of Ultimate's foundational values, and we believe this guiding principle sets us apart from other providers in the human capital management (HCM) market. We are very honored to be the only HCM provider on the list," added Scherr.
All of us at Ultimate want to extend our congratulations to our customers that also made FORTUNE's 2013 Best Companies to Work For list. Some are: Baker Donelson, Camden Property Trust, The Container Store, Google, JM Family Enterprises, NuStar Energy, Perkins Coie, and Quicken Loans—with a special congratulations to Google for ranking #1 for the last two years.
Ultimate develops, supports, and distributes cloud technology solutions for human resources, payroll, and talent management to companies of nearly all sizes in diverse industries. Ultimate helps organizations manage their workforces strategically and cost-effectively by providing business intelligence analytics and administrative functionality in such areas as talent acquisition and onboarding, human resources management and compliance, benefits management and online enrollment, payroll, performance management, salary planning and budgeting for compensation management, succession management, career development, and time and attendance management.
Previous to our current ranking of #9 on FORTUNE's 2013 list, Ultimate was ranked #25 on the 2012 FORTUNE list and #1 on the medium-size company list of "Best Places to Work" in both 2008 and 2009 by The Great Place to Work Institute, the same organization that evaluates companies for the FORTUNE list.
The full 2013 list is available today exclusively on FORTUNE's iPad App. The 2013 list and related stories will appear on FORTUNE'S Web site tomorrow morning, January 17, at www.Fortune.com/BestCompanies and in the February 4 issue of FORTUNE magazine, which will be at newsstands on Monday, January 21.

Zack Wheeler Rumors
East Links: Santana, Sox, Cespedes, Phils, Mets
The Braves are expected to make a qualifying offer to Ervin Santana, reports David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In the event that Santana leaves, the team may pursue a top-of-the-rotation type of arm, O'Brien writes, but their lack of financial flexibility would make the trade market a more likely avenue than free agency. O'Brien adds that he finds it unlikely that Santana would accept the QO — a sentiment with which I wholeheartedly agree. He also notes that should the club lose Santana, it might be more motivated to try to retain Aaron Harang, even though he is in line for a sizable raise from the $2MM he earned in 2014 (including incentives). MLBTR's Zach Links recently profiled Harang, pegging him for a two-year, $14MM contract. Santana was also profiled by MLBTR, with Tim Dierkes projecting a four-year pact worth $56MM.
Elsewhere in baseball's Eastern divisions…
- The Red Sox are prioritizing Pablo Sandoval and Chase Headley as the look toward the offseason, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The team may also look at Aramis Ramirez, though he's not believed to be as coveted as Sandoval or Headley and is said to prefer a return to Milwaukee, per Heyman, who adds that the Yankees would like to re-sign Headley. Red Sox third basemen combined to hit just .245/.305/.351 in 2014.
- Red Sox people strongly denied a previous report that Yoenis Cespedes is hated by the team's coaching staff, Heyman writes in a second piece. One source called the report "totally untrue," and manager John Farrell added on MLB Network Radio that the notion was "completely unfounded," Heyman adds. He goes on to write that a trade of Cespedes is unlikely (though not impossible), given Boston's overall need for power.
- The Phillies announced today that their entire coaching staff has agreed to return to the club for the 2015 season.
- Joel Sherman of the New York Post looks at the second round of changes coming to the dimensions of Citi Field and writes that the new dimensions may give some type of hint as to which players are most likely to be traded by the Mets this offseason. The Mets are planning to make Citi Field more homer-friendly and build the pitching staff around arms that emphasize strikeouts and ground-balls. Names like Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler fit that description, but Bartolo Colon, Dillon Gee and, to a lesser extent, Rafael Montero are all more prone to fly-balls, making them more likely to be dealt.

Mets Notes: Wheeler, d'Arnaud, Alderson
Happy birthday to Noah Syndergaard, who turns 22 years old today. Syndergaard likely won't be celebrating with a Major League debut, however, as the right-hander is already close to his innings limit for the year. Here's the latest from the Mets…
- Zack Wheeler doesn't want to be traded, telling Kevin Kernan of the New York Post that "I was part of the rebuilding process and I want to see it through.'' While the Mets would undoubtedly need a huge return to trade the 24-year-old righty, it has been speculated that the Mets could deal from their pitching depth to acquire a top-tier shortstop or outfielder in the offseason.
- Travis d'Arnaud's concussion history has Mets upper management at least exploring a shift from catcher to left field, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News writes. Terry Collins said the issue had been discussed, though not at length or in any serious depth, so if a position switch did happen, it wouldn't be anytime soon.
- A d'Arnaud position switch is also discussed by Metsblog.com's Matthew Cerrone. Beyond just d'Arnaud's health, a move from behind the plate could be inevitable since the Mets are "in LOVE" (capitalization added by Cerrone) with catching prospect Kevin Plawecki. Cerrone isn't sure if d'Arnaud's bat would play quite as well in left as it does at catcher, so he suggests that d'Arnaud could also possibly become a trade candidate this winter.
- That said, Newsday's Marc Carig (via Twitter) hears from a team source that the Mets "have little to no interest in trading d'Arnaud."
- While many of the Mets' younger players have performed quite well this season, the team has underachieved due to David Wright's off-year and GM Sandy Alderson's misses in the free agent hitters' market, John Harper of the New York Daily News opines. Curtis Granderson has only a .688 OPS and is still owed $47MM from 2015-17, while Chris Young has already been released.

New York Notes: Sabathia, A-Rod, Myers
C.C. Sabathia received a stem cell injection in his right knee last week and will be out of action until at least July, Yankees GM Brian Cashman tells Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Cashman said he has checked in with teams about trade possibilities and while "nothing has materialized," Cashman "will keep an eye out to see if something does." Three-fifths of the Bombers' regular rotation is currently injured, with Ivan Nova out for the season and Michael Pineda on the DL until mid-June at the earliest.
Here's the latest from the Yankees and Mets in this roundup of Big Apple baseball news…
- Alex Rodriguez told advisers last summer that he was considering retirement rather than go through a lengthy battle with Major League Baseball over his record PED suspension, reports Teri Thompson, Bill Madden, Michael O'Keeffe, Christian Red and Nathaniel Vinton of the New York Daily News. A-Rod was convinced to fight his suspension, however, after consulting with Desiree Perez, a New York nightclub manager affiliated with Jay Z and who also played a role in Robinson Cano signing with the Mariners. Rodriguez may have been motivated to listen to Perez in part because, as the article states, he would like to become a player agent, possibly with Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports agency.
- Back when Wil Myers was still a Royals prospect, Kansas City offered him to the Mets for a trade package of Jonathan Niese and Zack Wheeler, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News tweets. Myers, of course, ended up being the centerpiece of the five-player package the Royals sent to the Rays in exchange for James Shields and Wade Davis. It's an interesting what-if to ponder for both the Mets and Royals; Myers would've given the Amazins a cornerstone player in the outfield, but at the cost of two quality young arms. For K.C., Shields was the better win-now move, though he had only two years of team control and Davis has become a relief pitcher. Wheeler is controllable through the 2019 season while Niese's five-year contract has club options that could've extended the deal through 2018.
- Also from Martino, he looks at some trade possibilities for the Yankees and Mets this summer. The Mets looked at LaTroy Hawkins, Fernando Rodney and Grant Balfour over the winter and could explore trading for veteran closer help, plus shortstop could still be a position the Mets are looking to upgrade. As for the Yankees, they could also use shortstop help but acquiring a big name could be awkward given the awkwardness of benching Derek Jeter during his final season. A move for Diamondbacks shortstop Didi Gregorius makes sense for both New York clubs.
- Particularly in the wake of the Sabathia news, the Yankees also need starting pitching. Martino writes that while the Yankees may not have the prospect depth to attract a major trade chip, their financial resources could help them take big contracts off the hands of losing teams. Possible trade candidates in this vein could be the Diamondbacks' Bronson Arroyo or the Blue Jays' Mark Buehrle or R.A. Dickey (if Toronto falls out of the race, that is).
- In an Insider-only piece for ESPN.com, Paul Swydan criticizes both the Mets front office and manager Terry Collins for some transactions and personnel moves that Swydan feels "have left the Mets in an all-too-familiar middling position."

Mets Notes: Wheeler, Syndergaard, Johan, Byrdak
The Mets didn't exactly dazzle fans with their signing of Chris Young but they could be planning to do something a little more exciting in the weeks to come. The Mets are among the clubs that have been connected to Nelson Cruz and they are still said to have interest in Curtis Granderson. If GM Sandy Alderson & Co. want to get in on Cruz, however, it could prove to be costly. The former Rangers outfielder is said to be seeking a four-year, $75MM deal. More out of Queens..
- Andy Martino of the New York Daily News wonders if the Mets are going to make a big splash this winter. Martino hears that the Mets were scared by the two-year, $16MM deal that Marlon Byrd landed. At the same time, the Mets have decided to hold a hard line on trading young pitchers like Zack Wheeler and Noah Syndergaard. It's hard to see how they can land an impact bat without dealing one of their desirable impact arms. Martino adds that there is "gossip" around the Mets about GM Sandy Alderson engaging clubs in talks for three-way deals.
- Agent Chris Leible tells Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet (via Twitter) that client Johan Santana is now throwing from 90 feet in Florida and his shoulder feels much better. There's currently no timeline set for the one-time Mets ace to sign.
- More from B-NS, who hears from agent Mike Mosa that Tim Byrdak wants to continue pitching. Byrdak recovered from left shoulder surgery to pitch in eight games for the Mets in September. The 40-year-old has a 4.32 ERA with 10.4 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9 across parts of three seasons with the Mets. MLBTR's TIm Dierkes noted ten days back (via Twitter) that two clubs had asked for medicals on the southpaw.

East Notes: Nationals, Price, Wheeler, Matsuzaka
The Nationals do not plan on making huge changes this offseason, reports Amanda Comak of the Washington Times. They will, of course, hire a new manager to replace the retiring Davey Johnson, and they'll also look for left-handed relief help, perhaps, as Comak suggests, from someone like J.P. Howell or Oliver Perez. Other than that, they're mostly happy with the roster they have. "But I think the team, as far as the core group, is set up pretty good. The core rotation and the core bullpen is set up pretty good," GM Mike Rizzo says. The Nationals could take a shot at someone like David Price of the Rays to improve their rotation, but that doesn't appear likely, given the cost it would take to get him. Here are more notes from the East divisions.
- If the Mets want to contend in the NL East next year, they should think about dealing Zack Wheeler, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News writes. For example, Martino suggests dealing Wheeler to the Rays in deal for Price might make sense if Price is willing to agree to a contract extension. Chris Sale of the White Sox might also be a possibility. Alternatively, Martino suggests the Mets could trade Wheeler for a hitter and then acquire Ervin Santana or Matt Garza as a free agent instead.
- Pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka is now represented by Mark Pieper and SFX, Liz Mullen of Sports Business Journal writes (on Twitter). Scott Boras was Matsuzaka's previous agent. Matsuzaka posted a 4.42 ERA with 7.7 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 38 2/3 innings for the Mets in 2013.

NL East Links: Howard, Rizzo, Hairston, McCann
Ryan Howard will be out of action for six-to-eight weeks following surgery to repain a torn medial meniscus in his left knee. While Howard wasn't going to be a trade candidate at the deadline (no team would touch that contract), it's possible his absence might convince the Phillies to throw in the towel on the 2013 season and become full-fledged sellers this month. Here's the latest from around the NL East…
- Nationals GM Mike Rizzo discussed his team's acquisition of Scott Hairston with reporters (including MASNsports.com's Dan Kolko) today. Hairston was the Nats' top target for right-handed bench help and the club had been negotiating with the Cubs for a couple of weeks, with an eye towards getting the deal finalized before the Nationals' current series with the Phillies. Rizzo liked that Hairston was contracted through 2014 so he can be an asset to Washington next season as well.
- Rizzo also noted that the Nats could make another move before the trade deadline but it won't be anything major. "You never stop trying to improve your club, but with that said, we feel like we like the club that we have and we're certainly playing better and we'll see where it takes us from here," Rizzo said. "I don't see any type of big splashy moves that are remaining."
- Dave Cameron of Fangraphs likes the Hairston trade, noting that it's the kind of shrewd low-cost move that can pay dividends if Washington ends up in the postseason.
- Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post opines that a trade package of Danny Espinosa, Ross Detwiler, Tyler Moore and Lucas Giolito might be enough for the Nationals to obtain David Price from the Rays. While that's not a bad offer, I think the Rays could score a lot more elite talent if they started shopping their ace lefty.
- Braves catcher Brian McCann finally seems to be fully healthy and has been red-hot over the last two weeks, leading David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to predict that if McCann keeps it up, he'll score a free agent contact close to Yadier Molina's five-year, $75MM deal with the Cardinals. O'Brien notes that this deal will come from an AL team that will eventually transition McCann to a DH role, which is why I'd argue that McCann's eventual contract will fall at least $10-$15MM short of Molina's deal. McCann's bat doesn't carry a $15MM average annual value if it's not coming from the catcher position, plus Molina brought elite defense and a less-checkered injury history into his new contract.
- Zack Wheeler is set to face the Giants on Wednesday, almost two years after he was dealt from San Francisco to the Mets in exchange for Carlos Beltran. ESPN New York's Adam Rubin talks to Wheeler and Giants manager Bruce Bochy about the trade, and Bochy has no regrets since his club was gunning for another World Series title.
- The Rangers would love to acquire Cliff Lee from the Phillies, CBS Sports' Danny Knobler writes, "but at this point the Phillies seem to have most people in baseball convinced that they won't trade Lee (or maybe anyone else)."
- In NL East news from earlier today on MLBTR, we shared some Marlins-related news and also some Mets items as part of a collection of New York Notes.

Mets To Promote Zack Wheeler
Zack Wheeler was in uniform, wearing No. 45, as he addressed the media today to discuss his upcoming Major League debut. The Mets have announced that the 23-year-old Wheeler will make his debut in the second game of tomorrow's doubleheader.
ESPN's Adam Rubin was among the reporters in attendance as Wheeler discussed his expectations of himself and thoughts on the team:
"I don't think I'm the savior at all. We've got great arms here, and you've got great players. We might not be doing too well right now, but I know the talent of these guys, and hopefully we can turn it around soon."
Wheeler, drafted sixth overall by the Giants in 2009, was acquired in exchange for Carlos Beltran in what could be the best move of Sandy Alderson's tenure as GM of the Mets. Beltran's contract contained a clause that prevented him from being offered arbitration at the end of the season, so Wheeler was pillaged for 44 games of Beltran's services.
Wheeler ranked as the game's No. 11 prospect prior to this season, according to Baseball America. MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo ranked him eighth, and in a recently updated list of Top 25 MLB prospects from ESPN's Keith Law (Insider required), Wheeler placed 15th.
The Georgia native has fared well at Triple-A, though he hasn't exactly dominated opposing hitters. In a combined 101 2/3 innings dating back to 2012, Wheeler has a 3.72 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9. Despite the somewhat pedestrian ERA, Law writes that Wheeler has top-of-the-rotation stuff, and his peers at BA and MLB.com agree.
When he is officially promoted tomorrow, Wheeler's service clock will start, meaning he would accumulate 104 days of service time over the course of the season if he sticks on the MLB roster. Much like another top prospect who is getting the call on Tuesday — Tampa Bay's Wil Myers — Wheeler seems likely to fall just shy of the projected Super Two cutoff. If that does indeed prove to be the case, he will qualify for arbitration just three times instead of four prior to being a free agent at the end of the 2019 season.

Top Prospect Rumors: Zack Wheeler, Gerrit Cole
With the approximate Super Two cutoff approaching, teams figure to be less hesitant about promoting their top prospects in the near future. Here's the latest on a pair who could be making their debuts sooner rather than later…
- The Mets are targeting next Friday (June 14) for Zack Wheeler's MLB debut, according to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com. Wheeler is scheduled to make what is likely to be his final Triple-A start tonight against Tacoma. The date isn't set in stone, Rubin notes, but is a tentative goal.
- Former No. 1 overall pick and Pirates top prospect Gerrit Cole could make his first big league start as soon as Tuesday (June 11), writes MLB.com's Tom Singer. Wandy Rodriguez will be unable to make that start after exiting his previous outing with an injury, and manager Clint Hurdle said that spot was open as of right now. The Buccos have two established starters on the mend, but neither James McDonald or Charlie Morton will be prepared to make that start.
- Michael Sanserino of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette takes the issue a step further and says that Cole will "very likely" make his MLB debut on Tuesday (Twitter link).

Quick Hits: Rivera, Wheeler, Braves
A number of agents told Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports that they expect teams to spend more in the 2013-14 offseason than they did this past winter. "Some clubs held off spending in advance of their new national TV money last winter, knowing that payments would not start until April 2014," writes Rosenthal. Here's more from around the league…
- ESPN's Buster Olney writes that Mariano Rivera will not reconsider retiring under any circumstances (ESPN Insider required). "I don't care if I get 100 saves," Rivera told Olney. "I don't care if they offer me $50 million. That's it." Rivera picked up his 20th save tonight and has stated on multiple occasions that this will be his final season.
- Mets assistant GM John Ricco told Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News that Zack Wheeler's Major League debut isn't far off. Ricco said the front office met following Wheeler's strong outing on Saturday and discussed several possible dates. When pressed by Ackert, he wouldn't rule out Wheeler arriving within two weeks.
- Braves GM Frank Wren told Jim Bowden of ESPN and MLB Network Radio that he will be on the lookout for bullpen help between now and the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline (Twitter link).
- Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal tweets that Jay-Z and other Roc Nation Sports executives met with the MLB Players Association today in New York.

NL Notes: Wheeler, Mets, Lincecum, Puig
The Mets are trying to find the right spot for top prospect Zack Wheeler (#7 by MLB.com, #11 by Baseball America, and #13 by ESPN's Keith Law - Insider subscription required and recommended), to make his MLB debut and are carefully monitoring the Super Two arbitration cutoff, which they believe will come after June 8, reports Mike Puma of the New York Post. Puma writes the Mets are sensitive to putting Wheeler in an optimum position to succeed in his debut with a strong preference for that to come in the series with the Cubs on June 14-16, instead of against the NL Central leading Cardinals in the previous series. The Mets front office is also wary of Wheeler, a native of Dallas, GA, making his debut against the Braves in Atlanta because of the belief the right-hander will have enough jitters pitching in the majors for the first time and won't need the added pressure of pitching in front of a large contingent from his hometown. Manager Terry Collins, meanwhile, isn't concerning himself with rumors of Wheeler's call up. "I've got enough on my plate right now," Collins told reporters including Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. "I can't keep track of everybody in the organization all the time. Certainly, I know how he pitched. We all keep saying, 'He's on the way, he's on the way, he's on the way,' but he'll pitch his way here. When that time is, I have no idea." In other news coming from the National League:
- The Mets, in the wake of being swept by the Marlins (owners of the worst record in baseball), need to contemplate whether they want to be 100-loss team with prospects gaining experience or vets annoying fans, opines ESPNNewYork's Adam Rubin on Twitter.
- Tim Lincecum, ranked seventh on MLBTR's 2014 Free Agent Power Rankings, told Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com he is committed to being a starting pitcher but is open to the idea of becoming a closer. "I'm always open. It's just, right now I don't want to be open to it," Lincecum said. "I'm sure if my career takes that turn, I'm definitely open to changes, especially if it's beneficial to the team I'm playing for." Baggarly noted Lincecum chose his words carefully when he said "the team I'm playing for." A club source told Baggarly the Giants would turn Lincecum into a late-inning reliever "in a heartbeat," if they had another starting pitcher in the system ready to take his place in the rotation.
- The Dodgers are awaiting an update on Carl Crawford's left hamstring injury before deciding whether to bring up top prospect Yasiel Puig (#47 by Baseball America and #70 by MLB.com); but, it would be an upset if the outfielder isn't playing for them tomorrow, according to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times (Twitter links). Shaikin also noted on Twitter that Puig, owner of a .313/.383/.599 slash line this season, was not in the lineup for Double-A Chattanooga for the second consecutive game.

I would ask Myron how can you control heat on a gas grill. I have one and even at it's lowest temp. level per the knob reading it will still reach 500 which basically burns my meat?
07/22/2011 - 17:27
Kasren, not Myron, but I usuall sear the meat then cook off set from the heat-works well. There is something wrong with your Que. A high powered Que even on high rarely hits 500 deg F
