From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Elliot Tiber, born Elliot Teichberg in 1935,[1] is an artist and screenwriter who has written a memoir about the Woodstock Festival, held in Bethel, New York, in 1969.
Tiber's 2007 memoir Taking Woodstock, written with Tom Monte, was adapted as a movie of the same name by Ang Lee. The film opened in the United States in August 2009. Tiber is portrayed by Demetri Martin, best known for his stand-up comedy.
Tiber was born in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New York to Jewish parents.[2] His family moved to White Lake in Bethel in 1955 where they acquired a rooming house that they expanded into a motel, called the El Monaco Motel, at the intersection of New York Route 17B and New York Route 55 near the southeast shore of White Lake.
Tiber attended Brooklyn College and received a BFA from Hunter College. He was in the MFA program at Pratt Institute.
In his book Taking Woodstock, Tiber says he was present at the Stonewall Riots on June 28, 1969, and that he had a part in bringing the Woodstock Festival to Bethel, New York.[3]
Tiber said he led a closeted life in Bethel in the early 1960s as he spent time managing his parents' El Monaco Motel, serving as President of the Bethel Chamber of Commerce, and, at the same time, participating in the gay scene in New York, where he lived.
According to Taking Woodstock, Tiber read that Wallkill, Orange County, New York had on July 15, 1969 pulled the plug on the planned Woodstock Festival at the Mills Industrial Park northeast of Middletown, New York.
Tiber says in the book that he had a permit for the White Lake Music and Arts Festival, a planned chamber music event at his motel. He contacted Michael Lang and pitched the idea of having the festival on 15 acres (61,000 m2) along the edge of White Lake by the motel.
According to Taking Woodstock, when Lang said the motel property was too small, he introduced the producers to dairy farmer Max Yasgur, and helped facilitate the deal.[3]
Lang, however, says that Tiber referred him to a local real estate salesman, and that the salesman drove Lang, without Tiber, to Yasgur's farm. Sam Yasgur, son of Max Yasgur, agrees with Lang's version, and says that his mother, who is still alive, says Max did not know Tiber. Artie Kornfeld, a Woodstock organizer, has said he found out about Yasgur's farm from his own sources.[4][5]
Tiber left Bethel shortly after Woodstock and soon moved to Los Angeles, where he became a movie set designer. The motel became an Italian restaurant and was torn down in 2004. It is now marked by a clock tower welcoming people to White Lake.[6]
His 1970s book, Rue Haute, was made into a French-language film directed by his domestic partner, André Ernotte. It was Belgium's entry for the 49th Academy Awards Best Foreign Language Film in 1977. The book was released in English in the United States in 1977 under the name High Street.
He taught creative writing at New School University, fine art at Hunter College, and art design history at the New York Institute of Technology.[7]

hello gala
poor neighbour of Gala, always heard her horrible noises
wow, the peanuts are already very small but you still managed to cut them into pieces, are you the scrissor red-clothes Freddy?
the black bean tea needs long time to have effect, the book said it takes at least 3 months
well, i don't think wave will ever return, you also said argentino will return but my friend, how many years had passed now and we still haven't seen him
. Of course i wish wave is in good conditions, but i also want to hear a formal goodbye from her since we have known each other for so many years
i got another bad news 2 days ago, it is horrible that my aunt (the younger sister of my brother, and the kinder one) died out of a sudden. She was still super fine when we saw her in my dad's funeral and she didn't have severe illness. May her soul rest in peace

This study investigated the prevalence of radiographic vertebral fractures using Genant's semiquantitative (SQ) scoring system in elderly Chinese men (n = 2,000; mean age, 72.4 years) and women (n = 2,000; mean age, 72.6 years). Vertebral deformities had similar prevalence in elderly men (14.9 %) and women (16.5 %). Majority of the deformities in men were mild (9.9 %, grade = 1). The prevalence of vertebral fractures (grade ≥ 2) was 5.0 % among men and 12.1 % among women.
Vertebral fracture is a serious consequence of osteoporosis and is often under-diagnosed. Researches on different ethnicities and territories to estimate the prevalence of vertebral fractures and to identify the risk factors are necessary.
Mr. OS (Hong Kong) and Ms. OS (Hong Kong) represent the first large-scale cohort studies ever conducted on bone health in elderly Chinese men (n = 2,000) and women (n = 2,000). The current study investigated the prevalence of radiographic vertebral fractures in these subjects using Genant's SQ scoring system and identified risk factors for vertebral fractures.
The radiographs of all men (mean age, 72.4 years) and women (mean age, 72.6 years) were obtained. Six hundred twenty-seven subjects (15.7 %) had at least one vertebral deformity (SQ grade ≥ 1), including 297 men (14.9 %) and 330 women (16.5 %, p = 0.151). Three hundred forty-two participants (8.6 %) were defined as having at least one vertebra fracture (SQ grade ≥ 2), consisted of 100 men (5.0 %) and 242 women (12.1 %, p < 0.001). Older age, lower bone mineral density, lower physical activity, lower grip strength, fracture history, and low back pain were significantly associated with higher vertebral fracture rate for both men and women.
Vertebral deformity had similar prevalence in older men and women, while vertebral fracture was more common in women. Majority of deformities in men was mild. The vertebral deformity prevalence of women from this study is similar to previous reports of other East Asian women and Latin American women.

TABLE 2.1 Differences in the Context for Launch of TRMM Versus the GPM Core Satellite
Context for Launch of TRMM |
Context for Launch of the GPM Core Satellite |
Experimental sensors on board (the first deployment of quantitative weather radar in space), including multiple sensors on one spacecraft (e.g., precipitation radar and passive microwave imager). |
Proven sensor technology; potential for the GPM dual-frequency precipitation radar to fly with other radars still in orbit (TRMM, CloudSat). |
No long data sets to which sensor data could be attached. |
Decade-long record of precipitation radar and other TRMM data. |
No operational experience with data. |
Operational experience with data since 1998. |
NOAA scientist involvement in NASA's 1986 workshop on TRMM, and NOAA scientist participation on the TRMM science team. However, there was no expectation (and therefore no planned activities) of operational application of TRMM data at NOAA. |
Collaboration among NASA and operational agencies since 2001. NOAA involvement through attendance at annual GPM planning workshops, input on operational requirements for GPM, and participation on the Precipitation Measurement Missions science team. The GPM research plan has operational objectives, and efforts are under way to establish an effective NASA-NOAA partnership for the GPM post-launch phase. |
The TRMM ground validation approach followed the traditional lines of rain rate-oriented intercomparisons with classical ground validation site set-ups. |
The GPM ground validation program will include quantitative assessment of the distribution and the nature of retrieval errors. |
Moist physics in operational models was not well developed. |
Moist physics is evolving away from purely parameterized physics toward more explicitly resolved physics in the form of cloud-resolving models. This evolution is removing the artificial distinction between clouds and precipitation. |
Data assimilation of moist physics was in its infancy. |
Data assimilation of moist physics, while still in its formative stages, is progressing, and will help treat observations of clouds and precipitation as part of one combined system. |
Diverse and active community of researchers experimenting with a wide variety of evolving algorithms for retrieving rainfall and related information from passive microwave radiometers. |
Dedicated funding and available human resources have diminished. |

Review: Anchorman: The Legend Continues
A funny thing happened to me on the way to Anchorman: The Legend Continues. On the brief escalator ride up to the theater, my friend jokingly remarked, "I hope this isn't The Hangover 2." I laughed, but inside I was having a minor panic attack. She had a valid point. Since 2004 fans have been […]

National team competitions
Maccabi Haifa brought the seven-game winning streak in the EuroChallenge of Group I winners Spartak Saint-Petersburg to an end on Tuesday by beating the Russians 92-86 in Israel.
With only pride to play for, the hosts, whose lone victory in the Last 16 had come against Barak Netanya, stormed into 24-15 lead by the end of the first quarter and used that advantage as a platform for victory.
Boris Rothbart led Haifa with 23 points while Spartak, who had already clinched first place in the pool and were playing without injured Henry Domercant and Evgeny Kolesnikov, got 20 points from Nikola Dragovic.
Anton Ponkrashov added 18 points and Patrick Beverly 15 for Spartak, who hadn't lost in the competition since December 7 at Szolnoki Olaj.

The annual Electrolux Design Lab competition for 2014 has reached stage three of the judging, and 35 semi-finalists remain. Many of the entries are innovative, some are quirky, and others are downright strange. But in the spirit of originality, they are all very individual, unique takes on various types of household devices that we may be using in the not-too-distant future. We have a look at ten of the entries that caught our eye to give you an idea of the competition so far. Read More
When the University of Oxford's Dr. Thomas Povey was on a mountaineering trip several years ago, he became acutely aware of how much fuel was required to boil water using his conventional cookware. This inspired the professor of engineering to develop a new type of cooking pan, that would make better use of available heat. The result is the "finned" Flare Pan, which requires 40 percent less heat than a regular pan to get just as hot. Read More

After 16 years, the track at Harmon Field is scheduled to be resurfaced this summer. Wapakoneta City Schools Board of Education members Tuesday unanimously accepted the lowest bid for the work, which is expected to be completed by Aug. 1 at a total cost of $65,566. "We've done as many repairs to it as we could," Wapakoneta City Schools Operations Director Mike Watt said. "This past spring before track started, sections could be lifted up, they weren't adhered anymore. We had to adhere it with material from Lowe's to get us through."
MINSTER — One phone call and five minutes — was all it took for Ohio's governor to get jobs for a handful of engineers at Dannon in Minster. In a visit Tuesday touting development and investment in Ohio, Gov. John Kasich helped Dannon find engineers to fit its needs at the Minster plant. The job opportunities surfaced during a tour of the plant when the plant manager noted he needed some engineers. Kasich called The Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee who pledged his support.

"You really don't have to stay with me you know, I'm only going to end up getting you sick if you do. Then we'll both just be miserable." After a long time of fighting it off, your body had finally given in to the dreaded flu. Your muscles ached, your head was pounding, you were freezing and hot at the same time, and you could barely breathe through your nose.
"I'm not going to leave you, and I'm not going to get sick either. I'm supposed to take care of you." Rome crossed his arms and grinned. "Besides, I don't think I can even get sick." He rubbed your head and wrapped you up tight in a warm, fluffy blanket. "Now, you should rest, I'll go make you something hot. It should help your throat feel a little better." After giving you a wink, Rome made his way to your kitchen to cook.
"You don't need to make me food. I can make my own food." If you weren't so lightheaded, you would have chased after him. "What if I just order pizza or something?" He didn't respond, only continued to cook. Realizing there was no arguing with him, you snuggled yourself deep into the couch, placing a pillow over your head. You felt your eyelids grow heavy and your body sink into the cushions of the couch. With the quiet sound of Rome humming as your lullaby, you quickly drifted off to sleep. What seemed like only seconds later, the smell of potato soup woke you up. You were surprised you could even smell it with your nose as stopped up as it was.
"Have a nice little nap?" Rome placed a bowl of still steaming hot soup on the wooden coffee table next to you and held out a spoon. "Now, it's still hot, but that is the best way to eat it, so hurry and dig in." He helped you sit up and handed you the spoon.
"You're making me feel like a big baby you know." A slight blush spread over your face. "You don't need to stay here and take care of me. I'm just a little under the weather is all. I'm sure I'll be better in no time."
Rome ignored your comment and sat down next to you on the couch. "Why aren't you eating yet? Do you not like my cooking? Or maybe, are you too weak to feed yourself?" Quickly grabbing the spoon back from you, he dipped it into the bowl and brought it back to your mouth. "I'll just have to feed you then." Not knowing what to say, you accepted the food he offered. Slowly, a grin appeared on his face. You started to wonder what he was smiling about.
The more you ate, the wider his smile grew. "Rome, that smile of yours is just a little bit unnerving you know. It's starting to freak me out, just a little. You didn't do something, weird to the food did you?" A quiet chuckle escaped Rome at your question.
"Something, what kind of something do you think I would do to your food?" He raised an eyebrow at your odd question. "I can tell you all the ingredients I used, if it will make you feel any better." Rome gave you a caring smile as he brushed your messy hair back and away from your face.
Suddenly you felt very sheepish, and almost bad for suggesting he would do anything like strange. "N-no, that's okay. But really, why are you smiling like that?"
"I always smile when I'm around you, because, you make me happy." His happy smile was now accompanied by a small blush. "It sounds all cheesy, I know." Rome laughed. "But, it's very, very true." He snuggled you close and rested his face in your shoulder. "So, are you feeling any better yet? That is a secret family recipe, just for the flu. It's guaranteed to make you well again in no time."
Honestly, you did feel a lot better. You hadn't even noticed that your dizziness was gone, or that you could breathe through your nose again. "I do actually. What did you put in there?"
Rome stroked his chin and thought. "I suppose I could tell you. You aren't part of the family yet, but, you will be soon." He pulled a small piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to you. "Now, you can't tell Romano or Italy, or anyone else for that matter. This is a secret, only you and I can know about."
You looked over the recipe for anything uncommon or strange. "But, there's nothing even a little bit special about this recipe. I'm pretty sure it's the exact same one that's on the back of the soup can." You were more than a little confused. "So, is there a secret ingredient you add to this or what?"
"Nope. That's it, that's all there is to it." After pulling you onto his lap and snuggling you tight, Rome gave your cheek a quick kiss. "I told you it would make you feel better. Potatoes make everyone feel better. That and tomatoes, but you didn't have any tomatoes. I'll have to go buy you some."
Your jaw dropped. "You tricked me. You used the power of suggestion, to make me feel better. I don't know if that's impressive, or slightly mean."
"It's not mean, I do it to Italy and Romano all the time. And maybe, one day, I'll do the same to our kids." He rubbed a blushing, unshaven cheek against yours. "I just made everything very awkward I see." Rome cleared his throat and gave a nervous laugh. "Well, I'll go get those tomatoes now. There's more soup on the stove if you want it." He sat you back down on the couch and started to make his way out the front door. Before leaving, he turned around and spoke to you, still blushing and embarrassed. "By the way. Romano and my little Italy want me to ask you something. Do you want them to call you Grandma or Nana?"

Nervous tissue is one of four major classes of vertebrate tissue. It is the specialized tissue that makes up the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. It consists of neurons (which transmit impulses) with their processes, other specialized or supporting cells (e.g. the neuroglia cells, which assist propagation of the nerve impulse as well as provide nutrients to the neuron), and additional cells and tissues with which the neurons directly or indirectly interact. Nervous tissue is the main component of the nervous system: the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Functions of the nervous system are sensory input, integration, motor control and movement and control of muscles and glands, homeostasis, and both conscious and unconscious thought processes.
Neurons (see ) are easily stimulated and transmit impulses very rapidly. A nerve is made up of many nerve cell fibers (neurons) bound together by connective tissue. A sheath of dense connective tissue, the epineurium, surrounds the nerve. This sheath penetrates the nerve to form the perineurium which surrounds bundles of nerve fibers. Blood vessels of various sizes can be seen in the epineurium. The endoneurium, which consists of a thin layer of loose connective tissue, surrounds the individual nerve fibers.
The cell body is enclosed by a cell (plasma) membrane and has a central nucleus. Granules called Nissl bodies are found in the cytoplasm of the cell body. Within the cell body, extremely fine neurofibrils extend from the dendrites into the axon. The axon ( a long, stem-like part of the cell that sends action potential signals to the next cell) is surrounded by the myelin sheath , which forms a whitish, non-cellular, fatty layer around the axon. Outside the myelin sheath is a cellular layer called the neurilemma or sheath of Schwann cells. Schwann cells are essential for the rapid propagation of the nerve impulse, serving to insulate the axons of the neuron. The myelin sheath together with the neurilemma is also known as the medullary sheath. The medullary sheath is interrupted at intervals by the nodes of Ranvier.

My husband had some interesting suggestions for our twins. Thor and Loki (although I'm not sure how serious that was) as well as any number of more subtle comic book references For example since there have been 3 generations of the Flash and the first one was Jay (his name) he wanted to use Barry and Wally which were the alternate names for the second and third Flash(s) (How do you even write multiple The Flash??)
Once I pried him away from comic names his list included: Cory, Virgil, Dorian, Seth, Reynard, Anansi, Eli, Miles, Calvin (Most of which I detest) as well as Darren, Garath, Victor, Percy and Blake. (although I bet some of those are comic references and I just didn't realize it!)Mama to my boys, the 'twinadoes', and a little Tingeling.

lol, I always love reading these.
I don't have a significant other at the moment, but the last time I asked my brother (who is now 22), he said he'd name a daughter Lulu (which is adorable, I think! Except I would hope he had the good sense to give her a proper full name, like Lucy, Luella, or Louisa...) and a son Jack Bauer (a total joke prompted by the question would he have a John Robert, IV). But he really doesn't take names seriously yet...Ashley

James Gordon (happens to be The Commissioner's name from Batman! and yes, why he lurves it, as well a connection to a good friend) or Ephraim Alexander for a boy.
Penelope Jane or Eloise Jane for a girl.
I like his choices because truthfully, I suggested some form of them initially (the man is a sweetheart but never has name suggestions, only vetoes!) but I would likely fuss with them a bit and maybe change a middle name or two or something.Mama to my dear little bear <3

: Rapid consolidation of osseous fractures requires stable immobilization of the fragments. In the atrophied mandible, the nutrient supply should be ensured by protecting the periosseous soft tissue, i.e., the periosteum. In the conventional placement of osteosynthesis plates, however, the subimplant nutrition is restricted because of the high surface pressure between the osteosynthesis plate and bone. In order to improve the subimplant nutrient supply, we designed a new osteosynthesis plate with a "knobbed" underside enabling multipoint contact.
Histomorphologic comparative studies were conducted on 16 Gottingen minipigs with an average weight of 47.5 +/- 8 kg. In each minipig, one side of the mandible was fractured and one side was left intact. One side of each mandible was plated with a six-hole dynamic multipoint contact plate and the other side with a conventional plate. The plates were applied, either epiosseous or epiperiosteal, with bicortical screws under defined torque.
The results demonstrate the advantages of multipoint contact plates over the conventional ones and create the clinical basis for a "bio-logical" plate design that allows callus to grow between the knobs and therefore provide adequate nutritional and vascular supply. The plate's knobbed profile also promotes extraosseous venous drainage without impeding intraosseous fluid flow. This plate is the logical choice for rapid fracture consolidation in the high-grade atrophied mandible. (Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 97: 1158, 1996.)

Cedar Hill (Texas) High cornerback Marcus Green was smiling from ear to ear when he picked up an Oklahoma offer last Monday.
He thought about committing but held off. The plan was to take an unofficial visit to campus May 31 and commit then. But when you know in your heart, why wait? Green committed to OU on Sunday afternoon.
Tom Hauck for Student SportsTexas cornerback Marcus Green is the Sooners' second commit of 2014 on defense and the fifth overall.
Green had developed a quick bond with OU defensive coordinator Mike Stoops, but the OU offer was only the start of the week for the 6-foot-1, 176-pound corner.
In the 48 hours after the OU offer, Nebraska, Texas Tech, Houston and North Carolina all entered the mix. But he still felt strongly about OU. More importantly, his parents felt strongly about the Sooners, and his mom had no issue with Green making the decision on Mother's Day.
"When I got the offer, my parents were like 'Go to OU,' " Green said. "It's still close to home, and they feel really good about what OU offers with football and academics."
Green called Mike Stoops on Sunday and said Stoops told him the commitment made his day. As of early Sunday evening, Green said he hadn't talked with OU head coach Bob Stoops yet.
Even though Green has yet to see the campus, he feels 100 percent solid with his commitment.
"When you know, you know," Green said. "I had no reason to be hesitant about committing. I'm not taking any more visits. I'm done."
Green is OU's fifth overall commitment for the Class of 2014 and second on defense, joining strong safety Vontre McQuinnie (Lancaster, Texas/Lancaster).
It has been a disturbing trend with OU and the loaded Texas high school defensive backs class with OU not playing a big factor, but Green could be the start of some positive momentum.
"An OU offer is the top of the line," Green said. "You can't beat that. I'm so motivated right now, and I'm just going to keep working hard."
Green said academics played a big part, too. He is looking to major in health science and physical therapy and said OU has one of the best programs in that department.

O.K. Let me point out we are not paid to serve you. We are paid "To Insure Promptness" TIP. Yes, we have to bring you the food you ordered, and your drinks, but We don't have to give it to you in a timely manner you can have your steak two hours after its cooked, that is if you are still sitting there waiting for that steak, because we don't care if you eat here or not because we know you don't tip well the first time.
We don't have to refill your water, give you good service, or be a slave to you. A lot of people think they're entitled to spectacular service, or just service, because my job is "Customer Service," which doesn't mean I have to make the customer happy. I just have to provide the service that I am supposed to.
If you haven't gotten my point yet, it is, sure, you don't have to tip, but if you come back the second time, expect something.

4.5 awesome kit well worth the price charlespattinson | 22/04/2010 | See all charlespattinson's reviews (1) Very easy set up even for me. hard to work out why you would spend more money on a more expensive solution when this system ticks all the boxes.

Locals are laughing at British and American Secret Service attempts to disguise themselves as farmers around the G8 summit – in sparkling new tractors.
The Irish Sun reports on the Secret Service bid to immerse themselves in the local community in Fermanagh by posing as farmers.
But locals have copped onto the ruse and say they can spot the agents miles away thanks to their brand new tractors.
The report says the British service bought a fleet of two tractors ahead of the two day summit at the Lough Erne hotel.
Locals near the five star resort have told the paper it will not take any potential terrorists long to spot the spooks thanks to their brand new tractors.
One local farmer said: "They reckon the vehicles will let them patrol the fields around the hotel unnoticed but they'll stick out like sore thumbs.
"It's comedy gold really, like something out of Father Ted."
The report adds that more than 200 US Secret Service agents - with special diplomatic immunity to shoot anyone they suspect of being a threat - will protect President Obama during his visit to Co Fermanagh.
Special Forces units from the US Navy Seals will patrol the waters of Lough Erne while a six-doctor medical crew will also accompany the President on his visit to the North.
British SAS troops will also be on site to guard PM David Cameron, Russia's Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and France's Francois Hollande along with other world leaders.
Around 4,000 police officers have been drafted in from across the UK to bolster the 5,000 cops from Northern Ireland on duty.

If you have a theme that you enjoy but would like to explore different color options, then you may want to take a look at that themes Color Sets.
A color set is a predefined set of color combinations that come with a theme. This article will show you how to change color sets within your selected Drupal 8 theme.
How to change color sets in Drupal 8 themes
- Log into your Drupal 8 administrative dashboard.
- Select Menu from the top menu bar.
- Next, click on Appearance from the secondary menu that appears.
- You will now be on the main Appearance page where you will see a list of all the themes that are available. Find the theme you want to work with and click on the Settings link for that theme. In our example, we will be working with our active theme, Bartik.
- Now that you are on the Settings page for the theme you will see the Color Set option at the top. Click on the dropdown to see the various predefined sets for your theme. From here you can select a new color scheme. We will choose Plum from the dropdown for our example.
As you click on the selection, you should have a Previw section below that demonstrates how your selection will appear on your site.

ASU FALL SPORTS PREVIEW: Young QBs stepping up
Sophomores battling to lead Rams offense
For all the experience the Angelo State University football team returns this season, the Rams will be relying on a sophomore quarterback.
Will it be Kyle Washington or Warren Truesdale?
That's been the question ever since Blake Hamblin, ASU's starting quarterback the last two years, unexpectedly quit during the offseason to attend dental school.
Washington and Truesdale have been battling for the job ever since, through spring practices and fall camp.
"Blake was absolutely great for our program the last two years," ASU offensive coordinator Theron Aych said. "He put us in a lot of great situations and was a great decision-maker. Unfortunately, he decided to go on to a different part of his life.
"But I'll tell you what, there are two great ones behind him."
Washington would seem to be the front-runner based on the fact that he was chosen to play the final two games last season after Hamblin suffered a knee injury.
In his first extensive action, Washington played well. In a 38-21 win over Incarnate Word, he was 12-of-16 passing for 189 yards and three touchdowns.
The next week, in a 54-37 season-ending loss to Tarleton State, he was 27-of-42 passing for 245 yards and three TDs with one interception.
"That's something I've been waiting for since I got here," Washington said. "To finally get that moment to produce a little bit was exciting."
Despite Washington's encouraging play, the quarterback job was still an open competition when spring practices began, and he and Truesdale have continued to share reps through fall workouts.
What has made it harder to distinguish between the two is their similar styles.
"They both run really well, and they both throw a great ball," ASU head coach Will Wagner said. "If you were going to find a difference in them, Warren might be a little more vocal than Kyle, but from a play standpoint, I don't see a lot of difference in the two."
Washington stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 210 pounds, while Truesdale has a 6-2, 200-pound frame,
Washington attended high school in Humble. His senior year, he led the Wildcats to a 12-2 record, passing for 2,159 yards and rushing for 495 yards.
Truesdale was named his high school team's MVP at San Antonio Churchill and was a second-team all-district quarterback selection.
Unlike Washington, Truesdale hasn't had a real chance to prove himself in a college game. He was 2-of-3 for 25 yards last season in a 49-19 win over Eastern New Mexico in his only appearance.
Truesdale said he still learned plenty from the sideline while watching Hamblin.
"You've always got to be ready," Truesdale said. "So in my mind, it wasn't too much of a difference (after Hamblin's departure), but it was exciting because I knew I was thrust into a position to earn the starting spot."
Aych said Truesdale's ability to battle Washington for the starting job has made both players and the team better.
Whoever wins the job, the Rams' offense should have a new look because of the running capabilities of each quarterback.
"Both kids really spent a lot of time in the weight room and really improved their 40 times," Aych said. "So that makes those guys viable for us not only to be a dropback passer but to be effective and help us in the run game and take some pressure off our offensive line."
Wagner said he'd prefer to lock down a starter, but he didn't rule out playing both quarterbacks.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Cameron Waites (6-2, 225) from St. Michael's Catholic Academy in Austin has also played well this fall, giving ASU even more depth at the position, Wagner said.

Why General Motors (GM) Stock Continues To Slide
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of General Motors Co. (GM - Get Report) are continuing to fall, and are now down -1.95% to $32.65.
Five U.S. senators --all Democrats-- today urged the Justice Department to oppose any efforts by the automaker to skirt financial responsibility related to the company's failure to promptly recall vehicles with ignition switch problems linked to 13 deaths, Reuters reports.
In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, the senators said the Justice Department should "intervene in pending civil actions to oppose any action by GM to deny responsibility for damages."
The senators were referring to the possibility that GM could use a legal loophole to avoid paying damages authorized by pending lawsuits. The company was reorganized in bankruptcy proceedings, with the "new" GM not responsible for the "old," pre-2009 GM, Reuters noted.

The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 4.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.0%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 291.54% to $3,058.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, GENERAL MOTORS CO has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 30.77%.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.85, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.85 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 27.48% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- GENERAL MOTORS CO has improved earnings per share by 5.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, GENERAL MOTORS CO reported lower earnings of $2.35 versus $2.93 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.57 versus $2.35).
