Comment: These gloves are incredible! I bought them because of the price for my Halloween costume, but they ended up being so great I've been wearing them regularly. Incredibly soft leather with a nice cushy lining. Love 'em!

Comment: I do a lot of shopping with you for my 20-something daughter. I bought a pair of these gloves for her a couple of years ago, and she loved them. Yesterday, she lost one of them, so this is an emergency replacement, as they are her favorites and it's really cold here, at the moment.She doesn't ride a motorcycle, but your gear is perfect for her "edgy" personal style. As long as I was at it, this time, I bought one of your women's leather jackets for her. I'm sure that will be her favorite, as soon as she gets it. The quality, pricing and style are fabulous.

The snowy wilds of New England
Comment: Wife absolutly loves these gloves. Thanks Jafrum.
Comment: Bought the smallest women size for my nine year old daughter. She also wears a jacket purchased from Jafrum, as well as the helmet and yes, kid leather chaps. She rocks the elelmentry school. These gloves are very stylish, protective, and she says, they keep her hands warm.
Long Island, New York
Comment: These gloves ran true to size and are an amazing value. I love the gauntlet cuffs that fir over my jacket cuffs to keep out the cold. The gloves are comfortable to ride in. My husband wants similar gloves in his size now. You won't regret this purchase!
Judy Samples
southwest VA
Comment: Couldn't have asked for better. They are comfortable and fit very well. I was looking for something to wear in the colder weather and these are just perfect.
Richmond, VA
Comment: Ordered these for my wife and ordered 2 sizes larger than normal. Had to return and order true size, these gloves do not run small. Thick leather, fit great, very nice. Other comparable gloves are much higher. Nicer than my gloves from Harley.
Comment: Super nice gloves, love them! You'll never find better gloves for the money!!
Comment: Love them. Great price. Couldnt find a better deal.
South Carolina
Comment: Been lookin for a glove for my wife and not having much luck. Nothing fits her small hands. Took a chance on these and they fit perfect. Super fast delivery and an excellent price. Thanks Jafrum
Lovington NM
Comment: Great service good product. I received the right order, no defects, great gloves. She Likes Them!
WA state
Comment: These are some excellant gloves, well made, true to size. Very quality product and the seller was great on the shipping time!
Comment: I have a slim small hand and the small fit great and the quality is way better than I expected fir the price . They are acually very nice looking . They grip nicely and should be as warm as I will need with our mild winters .
Phenix City , AL
Comment: Gloves are great. I bought a pair for my daughter for Christmas and showed them to my husband as a hint for a gift for me. They are warm and comfortable.
San Bernardino
Comment: Glove arrived quickly. Nice and soft leather. Love the gauntlet will help keep me warm.
Vancouver Washington
Comment: Nice gloves at a great price. Good enough for the coldest days in Vegas. Any temp below freezing, get a warmer glove.
Las Vegas, NV
Comment: I purchased these as a gift for my sister in-law for when she rides on the motorcycle with my brother. The sizing was perfect (a medium fit her a little loose but she can wear a glove liner for extra warmth which was perfect), shipping was faster than it said on the site (and during the Christmas shipping rush!), and the quality is amazing. These were soft and supple but thick enough to keep her warm. There were very few reviews when I purchased these but I'm so glad I took the chance and ordered them!
Cleveland, OH
Comment: Bought these for my wife. The fit is true size and keeps her hands warm. Nice looking pair of gloves too.
Comment: Great gloves for a great price. THey are warm and comfortable. Love them!!
M. Thomas
Comment: Money well spent. The order arrived within 3 days. Gloves are a perfect fit. Great for those early/late season rides. My hands stayed nice and warm.
Buffalo, NY
Comment: I was looking specifically for a pair of gauntlet gloves that would cover my jacket sleeve, these worked perfectly. The sturdy make of the gauntlet on these gloves keep my sleeve tucked in and stop air from getting in. While they are lined, the lining isn't too thick, so for riding in colder temps you may want to consider another Jafrum glove. I ordered the extra small and they fit perfectly, most size charts recommend a small for a size 7 hand, but that would have been too big for me. The price was right and they were shipped promptly. Thank you Jafrum!!
western New York
Comment: I have pretty small (women's) hands, and it's hard to find gloves that fit well and have a good grip; these really do. They're an extremely good value for the money.
San Francisco, CA
Comment: Far from being a true winter glove, however skirt is large enough to accomodate jacket sleeve. Quite a disappointment. Insulation could be better and glove over-all could be warmer. Good for cool weather riding but not cold weather.
Comment: These are simply amazing gloves. Workmanship and materials are perfect. The fit is just a touch small, but not enough to warrant a larger size. They are comfortable for everyday wear and have become my glove of choice. Also perfect for the evil overloard when he wants to confront his long lost son...
Steven M. Willis
Olympia, WA
Comment: I bought these for my wife as a Christmas present. She likes the way they fit and has no problem gripping her bars while riding.
Comment: Better quality then expected! Leather is soft and comfortable. Excellent quality, look and feel like something one would pay $100 or more.Very happy with quality and purchase!

National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) was founded over 40 years ago in response to the challenges many disaster organizations experienced following Hurricane Camille, a category 5 storm that hit the Gulf Coast in August, 1969.
Up until that time, numerous governmental, private sector and nonprofit organizations served disaster survivors independently of one another. As a result, help came to the survivors haphazardly.
Unnecessary duplication of effort often occurred, while at the same time, other needs were not met. People who wanted to volunteer to help their neighbors affected by disaster were often frustrated by the variety of organizations competing in some areas of service or the total lack of opportunities to serve other apparent urgent needs. Further, there was only limited availability to training for potential volunteers. Access to information on services available to survivors during disasters was woefully inadequate.
Likewise, communication among voluntary disaster agencies and coordination of services was negligible. In fact, mechanisms for this were non-existent.
In 1970, seven national disaster response organizations convened for the first time to find a way to better coordinate responses and more effectively serve disaster survivors and their communities. As an outcome, National VOAD was formed as a forum for sharing knowledge and coordinating resources -- money, materials and manpower – throughout the disaster cycle: preparation, response and recovery.
Since our founding, many lessons have been learned, skills developed and best practices shared. This resulted in the establishment of a commitment to shared Values, the 4Cs — communication, coordination, collaboration, and cooperation — as guiding principles for how we operate and resolve conflict, as well as various Points of Consensus and other protocols for guiding the work of individual member organizations and the collective efforts of the collaborative. All National VOAD members agree to adhere to such standards of conduct and service delivery developed and approved by the membership.
By the end of the 1970's, many other organizations joined the National VOAD Movement. As similar expectations for Federal interagency cooperation during national level disasters emerged, FEMA was formed. During the 1980's many local affiliates of National VOAD members began forming Local, Regional and State VOAD's. By the mid-1990's, VOAD became a true national movement.
Today, National VOAD is a coalition of 56 of the nation's most reputable national organizations (faith-based, community-based and other non-profit organizations) and 56 State/Territory VOADs, which represent Local/Regional VOADs and hundreds of other member organizations throughout the country.
Recognizing that all sectors of society must work together to foster more resilient, self-reliant communities nationwide, we facilitate partnerships with federal, state and local emergency management and other governmental agencies, as well as for-profit corporations, foundations, and educational and research institutions. National VOAD is the primary point of contact for voluntary organization in the National Response Coordination Center (at FEMA headquarters), a signatory to the National Response Plan, and an Emergency Support Function partner of many other federal agencies as delineated in the National Disaster Recovery Framework.

This will be a singular weekend in Chicago jazz, with a remarkable breadth of activity and styles. Among the highlights:
Herbie Hancock: We face a shortage of jazz legends these days, the old ones having passed away and the new ones unlikely to match their fame in our fragmented world of arts and entertainment. Which only makes Hancock that much more of a treasure, a pianist who worked with Miles Davis in the 1960s and led all manner of jazz and pop-tinged bands in the ensuing decades. Soon to be doubly honored with a Kennedy Center Honor in December and a 34-CD boxed set, "Herbie Hancock: The Complete Columbia Album Collection 1972-1988," to be released in November, Hancock returns to his hometown with a premiere of sorts. He'll be fronting his quartet – with guitarist Lionel Loueke, bassist James Genus and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta — with tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain for the first time. Expect Hancock compositions reconceived for an East-meets-West setting. 8 p.m. Friday at Symphony Center, 220 S. Michigan Ave.; $38-$60; 312-294-3000 or cso.org
Bobby Broom Trio: For the past several months, Chicago guitarist Broom has been on the road, leading the Deep Blue Organ Trio as it opened across the country for Steely Dan, culminating with an extended run at the Beacon Theatre in New York. Now Broom returns home to lead his trio in an increasingly active, important and stylistically open-armed venue, Constellation. Broom will share the stage with stalwart Chicago bassist Dennis Carroll and rising drummer Makaya McCraven. Will Constellation's emphasis on experimental idioms encourage this band to seek out new sounds? We'll know soon. 9:30 p.m. Friday at Constellation, 3111 N. Western Ave.; $10; constellation-chicago.com

"Remembering Jodie Christian": If pianist Christian had been as celebrated as he was admired and beloved, he would have been a household name wherever jazz is valued. Instead, he was top-notch musician known to connoisseurs and sought out by young musicians who yearned to be mentored by him. Christian died last year, at age 80, and this concert stands to be a worthy tribute to an under-acknowledged master. Pianist Miguel de la Cerna and trumpeter Brad Goode, who both traveled in Christian's orbit when they were young men, are co-leading a concert that also will feature saxophonist Ron Blake, another Christian acolyte. They'll be joined by bassist Marlene Rosenberg, drummer Xavier Breaker and guitarist Alejandro Urzagaste in rarely heard music by Christian and standards he favored. The program is presented by the non-profit Jazz Institute of Chicago and the Chicago Park District as part of the long-running JazzCity series. 7 p.m. Friday at West Pullman Park, 401 W. 123d St.; free; jazzinchicago.org or 312-427-1676
Laurence Hobgood: One of these days, perhaps the music world will recognize the stature and tonal beauty of former Chicagoan Hobgood's pianism. Until then, those in the know will have him to themselves, the pianist making periodic bows in the spotlight when he's not working as accompanist for Kurt Elling. He'll enjoy such a moment this weekend, playing two nights at the Green Mill, where he performed often in the 1990s. This time he'll lead a quintet featuring saxophonist Ernie Watts and trumpeter Marquis Hill, with bassist Clark Sommers and drummer Jared Schonig. It's a strong lineup by any measure, even if listeners already have heard Hobgood with Watts in an earlier Elling outing (Sommers and Schonig, too, tour with Hobgood and Elling). What we really need to hear is Hobgood in a trio setting, in which does most of the heavy lifting himself and steps out of everyone else's shadow. 9 p.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Saturday at the Green Mill Jazz Club, 4802 N. Broadway; $12; 773-878-5552 or greenmilljazz.com
Eldar Djangirov: The prodigy has grown up – or at least the calendar tells us so. Djangirov made quite a media splash as a teenage prodigy performing under the single name Eldar, but now, at the grand old age of 26, he steps up into a higher, more adult level of expectation. He has performed all too rarely in the Chicago area, making this performance a coup for Andy's Jazz Club and an opportunity for pianophiles to check out Djangirov's progress. He'll lead a trio, thereby placing himself in the lion's den. 9:30 and 11:15 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Andy's Jazz Club, 11 E. Hubbard St.; $15; 312-642-6805 or andysjazzclub.com
John Fedchock with the DePaul Jazz Ensemble: The periodic residencies of the DePaul Jazz Ensemble – a strong collegiate band – have been highlights on the Jazz Showcase calendar. That's due not simply to the enthusiasm of the students but to what happens when they partner with a leading jazz soloist. Previous outings with saxophonists Jimmy Heath, Phil Woods, Benny Golson and others have elevated the orchestra and the guest star alike, each benefiting from the other's aspirations. This all unfolds under the direction of DePaul professor Bob Lark, who somehow keeps the young musicians' work at a consistently high level, even with constantly changing personnel. For this engagement, the musicians will partner with Fedchock, a trombonist of considerable achievement and reputation. 8 and 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 4 and 8 p.m. Sunday; at the Jazz Showcase, 806 S. Plymouth Ct.; $20-$35; $10 for students; 312-369-0234 or jazzshowcase.com
Steven Lugerner: Multi-reedist Lugerner walks a fine line that wends through composition, improvisation, jazz, classical, avant-garde and other orthodoxies, venturing freely into all of them. He was won critical accolades for this freedom of thought, as well as for his fluency on a variety of woodwinds. For this engagement, he'll lead his quartet, with pianist Myra Melford, trumpeter Russ Johnson and drummer Michael Sarin. 9:30 p.m. Saturday at Constellation, 3111 N.

Star Wars fans love to eat. Or, at least it looks like it, according to all these pizza slices, green pea piles, and whipped dessert toppings found in the scenes submitted for The Empire Strikes Back Uncut.
The Empire Strikes Back's many planets give fans ample reason to dig into their scene-setting skills: Hoth, Cloud City, that pesky space slug. As more people are re-imagining scenes for The Empire Strikes Back Uncut, it's pretty clear that a lot of people paint in a palette of awesome-looking food groups.

Yamaha has won every class of GP racing but, surprisingly, never a World Superbike championship. This is, presumably, a nagging pain in the arse of its racing division. But how to sort it?

Selasphorus rufus (rufous hummingbird)
If intruders ignore his one-note warning, a male gets more aggressive and challenges them with a severe tongue lashing ! This routine is so effective that after a few days, virtually no other hummers come into his area and all he needs to do to maintain it is sing his one-note samba. Rufous hummers are both aggressive and intolerant of other species at the feeder. His wingbeat here measures a fairly fast 60 bps.

My 3 year old has suddenly decided not to take a nap. While he may not need one anymore, I am having a hard time adjusting! When did your toddler stop taking a nap? How did you handle it?
We have a four year old and a two year old and our four year old stopped napping when she was two and no matter what we have done, has never resumed napping at all. On the flip side, my two year old (she turns three in Feb) still take two naps per day. So I guess what I am saying is that it's really hard to tell. It seems to me that toddlers do what they want no matter how we try. Let me know what you do and how it works out.
My 2 year old still takes a nap in the afternoon for a couple of hours. Lately though, he has skipped it once or twice. I'm afraid of this becoming a trend - I personally need his nap time more than he does, I think! :-p I think AnswerDad is right - every kid is different and does their own thing. Hang in there.
On the flip side, my two year old now naps late afternoon and we are finding she is wide awake sometimes until 10pm! Now we are encouraging her to only take one nap instead of two. It can become maddening! Just when you think you have a routine and have figured it out, kids tend to shoot off in an other direction!
My 3 year old daughter does not take naps anymore everytime I try to get her to she ends up getting out of her bed when her brohter, who is 2, falls asleep. she stopped taking a nap just before she turned 3 and she turned 3 in May. What I do is once my son falls asleep she will go to the living room and watch Nick Jr. or either I will give her a coloring book and let her color so I can get some cleaning done or get a shower or something...other wise I never get a chance to do anything. Whenever my son stops taking a nap I dont know what I am going to do. I hope it wont be soon!!!
I haven't quite gotten to this stage yet, but I was talking to my mom the other day about napping habits. She said that I stopped taking naps around 2. Her rule with me was that even if I didn't nap I had to spend an hour having quiet time in my room. I could read or color, anything restful, but I had to stay in my room. She would set a timer for me so I'd know how much time I had left. Every so often I'd even fall asleep (though according to her that only happened about 1% of the time :) ). Good luck!!

Maryland State Police are looking for three people in connection with the death of a UMES student who was stabbed during a fight on campus Saturday night.
Troopers and University Police say just after 9 o'clock Saturday night, a man ran up to a campus police officer and said his brother had been stabbed. The officer then found 21-year-old Edmond St. Clair of Severn, Maryland lying on the ground next to his girlfriend's car, bleeding from his chest. St. Clair was rushed to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, but was pronounced dead just after 9:30 p.m. Police learned that St. Clair had been a passenger in his girlfriend's car as his brother was driving through campus when they came across a group of people walking in the street. That's when police say the fight broke out, and St. Clair was stabbed. UMES students were alerted to the stabbing through the school's security alert system.
Police believe the fight and stabbing was related to an ongoing dispute, and not a random assault. The attackers are described as three African-American men in their late teens or early 20's. Anyone with information is asked to call the Maryland State Police Princess Anne Barracks at (443) 260-3700.

On this day: 26 September
- 26 September 2012 08:32
- Posted by Mark Booth
Looking back through the history books for the events, signings and memorable matches that happened on this day in City's history.
Tuesday 26th September 2000
George Weah scores twice for City to force a tricky League Cup second leg tie at Priestfield. The Gills, who took a 1-1 draw from the first leg push City all the way but with the scores level at 2-2 after 90 minutes, the game moves into extra time.
Paul Dickov and Mark Kennedy score in the final seven minutes to send Joe Royle's men into the next round.
Wednesday 26th September 1956
Manchester United are forced to relocate for their European games because Old Trafford is yet to install floodlights. This leads to Maine Road becoming the first English ground to stage European football when the Reds use the stadium as their 'home' ground to take on Anderlecht.

Golf gifts take the accessories required to engage in a relaxing game of golf and turn them into valuable advertising tools. Many large business deals have been closed on the course, and if you plan on using this strategy, remember to come prepared with unique accessories to distribute. Companies often take advantage of the relaxed and fun environment present on the green to do some serious negotiating or networking, so these items are appropriate giveaways to bestow upon players and thus commemorate the time they spent with your company. Offer your partners golf gifts such as imprinted balls or custom tees with your logo to enhance their experience. Another opportunity exists in sponsoring a philanthropic event, and your company can leave a greater impact on participants by spoiling them with personalized items at the end of the day.

Mozilla Evangelist Comments on Apple's Recent HTML5 Demos
Christopher Blizzard thinks Apple's new demos, "entirely miss the point of the web, interoperability, standards and html5."
This hasn't gone unnoticed by other supporters of open Web standards, namely Mozilla evangelist Christopher Blizzard.
On his personal blog, Blizzard posted a profanity-laced entry that called out Apple for making the implication that the open standards highlighted could only be experience on the Safari browser.
"A huge percentage of the world does have access to standards like HTML5. Today," said Blizzard.
Blizzard also points out that Firefox provides the best HTML5 support according to the compatibility website caniuse.com, which we confirmed, as long as future versions of the browsers are factored into the comparison. When the criteria is limited to the Present and Near Future options, which would include the browsers currently available, Chrome, Safari and Firefox all have the same HTML5 compatibility rating of 90 percent.
This is not to say that the information on caniuse.com is inaccurate. Statistics for the Future criteria are compiled from developer information, Webkit builds, experimental builds and platform previews.
That said, plans and features for future browsers are always subject to change, which means HTML5 compatibility for these future browsers, while informed, is still somewhat speculative.
Blizzard also commented on the nebulous terms in which people think of HTML5 and the confusion over who supports it and how long it has been supported.
"The most important aspect of HTML5 isn't the new stuff like video and canvas (which Safari and Firefox have both been shipping for years) it's actually thehonest-to-god promise of interoperability."
RE: It's not about Safari reaching other OS'sHere's a sentence I never thought I'd type: I agree with COCKFIGHT. It really isn't a matter of market saturation, it's a matter of HTML5 compatibility.
It's not about Safari reaching other OS'sIt's not about Safari. It's about HTML 5 as an open web standard. The keyword is standard. No browser maker can say they champion any standard if they pervert it.
RE: Mozilla Evangelist Comments on Apple's Recent HTML5 DemosGee. Really?! So, Microsoft brought out its Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 on the PC AND the Mac platform simultaneously?
C'mon. When Microsoft holds 90-something percent of the world captive to their OS; and Apple has 8-something percent, do you REALLY believe that they should bust their humps to get the new Safari out to EVERYONE all at once?!

If anyone saw Every Little Step, that amazing doco on A Chorus Line, there were plenty of talented singers featured in it.
If anyone saw Every Little Step, that amazing doco on A Chorus Line, there were plenty of talented singers featured in it.
She's gotten cast for almost every other lead female role since "Millie" that frankly I'm tired of hearing her name on the Tonys now. So my guess is this guarantees Foster gets cast in "Funny Girl"!
But holy cow, there are so many incredible singers and dancers out there waiting for their chance. Broadway has a lot to choose from.
Speaking of Les Mis, I just read that there is going to be a 25th Anniversary tour and something about Nick Jonas? anyone else heard anything? Who would Jonas play? Marius?
Who wants to watch rich people eat pizza? They must have loved that in Bangladesh. - Randy Newman on the 2014 Oscars broadcast
But, then again, I've never been a big fan of Cassie. I think it's because I love the character of Sheila in the show, and always consider her and Cassie to be direct competitors for a spot.
How can you not love Donna McKechnie though?
Of course, you can't hate the great Kelly Bishop (who was awesome on Gilmore Girls, but was very impressive in a small role in a movie called An Unmarried Woman).
ETA: I changed the link. The first one was very fuzzy.

"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." - Ambrose Bierce
I will be a joke. Can you imagine playing the 10th anniversary "Dream Cast" after or before whatever Jonas Brother craptastic 25th version they do? It will be ridiculous.
As for a Jonas in "Les Mis", I'll be stepping out to buy a voodoo doll to prevent that from happening. I hate stunt casting!
Unfortunately the rumours about the Jonas Bro are not just wishful thinking....

Disclaimer: I know very little about the Jonas brothers, other than that they are on a Disney show that my nieces don't like.
I agree when it comes to Jonas, he actually did get his start on broadway so I'm willing to see how this goes.
Overedge, thanks for the link. I guess it's confirmed. I just don't see or hear Jonas as Marius. Gavroche is a child in the play, with a higher voice, that is not expected to be powerful and solid. Marius is a whole other role, with duets and duets + 1. I just don't think he has the voice for it. In the article they say it's a star studded cast - of what? Teen kings and queens? The last star studded cast was musical theater greats, probably not to be improved apon. Maybe that's why they're doing this, they can't make it better, so they're appealing to a different generation. Are there plans to bring it back to B'way? To tape it? Anyone know?
If Jonas wants to do B'way, I could see him in "Jersey Boys" more. He has the look and, after all, he is from "Jersey" . Though I don't know if he can do Frankie Valli's falsetto.

First orgasms and now this. When will it end?!
Stanford coach David Shaw fires back at Washington coach Steve Sarkisian
After Washington lost to Stanford 31-28 on Saturday night, Steve Sarkisian seemed to imply the Cardinal players may have been faking injuries.
The exact quote, from Tom Fornelli at CBS:
"Their defensive line coach (former Washington assistant Randy Hart) was telling them to sit down," Sarkisian said. "I guess that's how we play here at Stanford, so we'll have to prepare for that next time. At some point, we'll get repaid for it. That never serves a purpose for us, and we'll never do that."
Well, Stanford coach David Shaw didn't take too kindly to that insinuation, and he made that perfectly clear during the Pac-12 teleconference on Tuesday.
"We don't fake injuries. We never have. We never will… I don't care what Steve Sarkisian thinks he saw." – David Shaw
— David Lombardi (@DavidMLombardi) October 8, 2013
David Shaw, coach of @StanfordFball: "The only asst coach I've ever known to order players to fake injuries coaches at Washington." more tk
— The Football Four (@TheFootballFour) October 8, 2013
Usually coaches will skirt an issue by talking in generalizations or taking more roundabout, vague pot shots at other coaches, so it's much ado about nothing. But in this instance, Sarkisian directly accused Shaw's team of doing something, and the Stanford coach fired back — in a teleconference no less. While there might be a bit of hyperbolic language in Shaw's statement that the Cardinal has "never" faked injuries, those are strong words from the typically level-headed coach.
This faking injuries thing has been a big deal in the Pac-12 for a few years now, and Shaw directly referenced Washington defensive line coach Tosh Lupoi, who was suspended for instructing players to fake injuries against Oregon in 2010 while working for Cal.
When I asked Arizona State wide receiver Jaelen Strong about it before ASU's game against Stanford, he said the offense just has to go out and play and that they don't worry about whether a defender is faking. You never really will know if a player is faking or not in football, and with all this emphasis on player safety, the officials are going to err on the side of caution rather than try to address flopping in the same way basketball is.
Regardless, it looks like the Stanford-Washington rivalry is heating up a bit, and I wouldn't be surprised if Sarkisian had other things to say post-Shaw rant.
STAPLES: Huskies' mistakes, controversial call doom comeback against Cardinal
Hey...some FACTS please? I'm a diehard Duck and a proper Husky foe...and I watched the tape and counted at least three times when Stanford players went down in second-half during hurry-up Husky drives...and then returned to the game swiftly.
Not saying they were faking it. But how about some reporting here, SI. Tell us what the video showed and ask fans to send you cellphone vids of the Stanford sideline. That's how Cal was found out to be lying four or five years ago when its coach was equally indignant about accusations that his kids feigned injury to stop Oregon.
Five days after the game and all you can report is "he said, she said" stuff?
Having a player fake an injury to slow down or "get" an effective "unofficial" timeout has been going on for years. Not only in the NFL but in college too. Those that profess "shock" at this little strategy tool haven't been paying attention. This tactic, although not advertised, will continue to be used.
As much as I like and respect David Shaw as a coach, the veracity of his rebuttal toward Coach Sark tells me there's some truth in there.
"The [coach] doth protest too much, methinks." ~ William Shakespeare
Of course Stanford was faking injuries to slow down Washington's offence. And guess what? It worked. Instead of trying to deny it, Stanford fans should be complimenting their coach for employing an effective strategy.
Stanford always has, and always will bend or break the "rules" of the game.
Stanford's coach is the liar ! ! !
David's Shaw's comments are not accurate. Stanford clearlly faked injuries 3 years ago against Oregon but that was with Harbaugh as coach.
Sarkisian, don't badmouth the coach of the University of Texas, erhhh, I mean Stanford.
Somebody was hurt constantly, they were definitely faking injuries to try to slow Washington down and to allow their guys to catch their breaths. It's a common tactic against the no huddle, many teams use it. The rules committee hasn't caught up to the modern game. I can guarantee you, if Alabama does play Oregon for the title, they will fake injuries - expect it.
If its really about player safety, take an injured guy out for the quarter or 15:00 minutes of game clock. That'll stop a guy from flopping.
Think what you will but an extraordinary number of players went down and somehow had a miraculous healing to go in for the next play. If it looks like a duck---
Why don't you listen to the actual talk before you comment: https://soundcloud.com/gostanford/david-shaw-presser
Call him whatever you want, Shaw is light years ahead of Sark as a coach.
Of course Shaw is denying any faking going on; what else is he going to say? Class-less.
I was at this game and there was NO question that Stanford was faking injuries in the 4th quarter. It was just as bad as Cal a few years ago against Oregon. Every time a guy went down, they RAN back on the field after sitting out a play.
Total coward move by a coach who saw that his team was outmatched.
Shaw needs to shut his mouth. The Cardinal REPEATEDLY had a man look like he had been shot...yet miraculously found their way onto the field for the NEXT play. The NCAA could easily solve this by saying a player must sit for 5 plays if he needs an injury timeout. But that would be expecting Mr. Emmert to actually do the job he is paid millions of dollars to do. Clearly, this is too much to ask of him.
@JeffBockert ~ The "Rules" committee is fully aware, has been for years - and isn't going to touch it. It's simple, how do you know if a player is hurt or not? Given the inert potential for injury playing football, no one and I mean no one is going to try and mitigate what constitutes an injury vs one that is being faked.
@JeffBockert You are an idiot. Now that we have cleared that up, Stanford had four players down. One on a kickoff play that should have resulted in an ejection of the UW player. Stanford's player missed the rest of the game. Three to defensive ends or linebackers; one resulted in two or more missed plays, the other two may have been one play. Washington had a player down - for one play. Washington made two long drives; the first had no players down for either team. The second had two players down in quick succession, but then continued for ten plays or so until Stanford intercepted the ball. In no circumstance did Stanford blunt your drives by "faking" injuries. You however blunted quite a few of your own drives by faking "being able to play sound fundamental football against a great team". Shove it.
@J-Ceezy So bring that up at the next NCAA rules committee meeting. Until then, a player on the ground is hurt for as long as it takes him to get back in the game if he can.
@Baconpizza Wow, really? UW beat them last year and, had Stanford not faked injuries this year, they'd have beat them again. You have no idea what you are talking about. Go back to watching hockey and soccer please.
@Baconpizza - Yeah, I guess that's why he had to resort to bush league tactics to slow down the Husky offense. SMH...ignorance, thy name is "Baconpizza".
@gwdowell4 Yep, totally agree, if you watched the game, there isn't a question. They faked injuries.
@gwdowell4 yeah they outmatched Stanford so much that they never lead once in the game.
@Cory J Repeatedly? Like once (Vaughters) in the first couple of plays in the second half, then two in close succession, about midway through a drive that I believe later Stanford stopped with an INT. Skov was out two plays; Gardner only one. You had at least one player down and then "miraculously" back in a play later. You may not have noticed, probably being drunk, but those two teams were slamming the crap out of one another. The Stanford D was making Price run for his life back there. Lots of bodies flying, legs akimbo. You lost - and your coach keeps losing. Shape up; you're a disgrace to the PAC12.
@Cory J Agree whole-heartedly. Mr. Shaw should just skirt the question with a simple 'next' if he is going down the he said/he said coaster. 5 plays - like it!
@Cory J I agree, it's a simple solution. I've heard some people bounce around different ideas as to the length of time a player must sit out, but five plays sounds about right.
It's nice to agree with someone in an online comments section for a change.
@jafco99 @JeffBockert jafco...I am a Stanford fan but I agree that Stanford was faking some injuries in the fourth quarter. They did it a few years ago vs Oregon (I think it was Skov then as well). I also think that Stanford got outplayed in the second half but they made just enough plays to win and the final score is all that matters not the total yards, time of possession, etc.
Dislike button. How about you act like an adult and try to respond to reasonable comments without calling people names and insulting people. The fact that you're so defensive about shows something. Truth is what Jeff said makes sense. It is a common tactic. It's admitted to be done by both players and coaches (Brian Urlacher anyone?). And the rules committee definitely hasn't caught up to it. That's just fact. If a player causes a play stoppage for injury they should be required to sit out the rest of the drive. Skov took 5 minutes to get off field and they took one play off before missing a beat. For an opposing coach or fanbase to not think that's fishy is asinine.
@Tim59 @gwdowell4 Ah, did you watch the 4th quarter? Do you know anything about strategy and about the point of running the no huddle to tire out a defense - especially the D Line? Please don't comment if you don't know a dang thing about football.
@Tim59 @gwdowell4 30 first downs for UW to 14 for Stan. 489 off yds for UW to 284 for Stan. all while having the ball for fewer minutes. Aside from the opening Kickoff, Stan got blown off the ball and was outscored 28-24. Shaw could see that they could not stop UW in the second half.
@MyronBernard If he had to act like an adult, he'd be forced to fake an injury.
@JeffBockert @jafco99 @gwdowell4 @Tim59 Yeah, Bockert, crushed. Like 31-28, Stanford. Like Washington stays number one in penalties. Like washington has no idea how to defend a kick, for the tune of 240 yards on special teams. Outside of class (coaches here being referred to), fundamentals and minor other aspects of college football, I agree: Washington dominated (about three hours of my time Saturday night as I enjoyed seeing them work so hard to go down in flaming defeat).
@jafco99 @gwdowell4 @Tim59 I'd say the team that was cheating to win was classless. Take away the kick returns and Stanford got crushed - face the facts.
@gwdowell4 @Tim59 Except that they did, idiot. You pukes from Dogtown are pukes; i.e. classless.
@bulletrico @choprz @Cory J We look forward to seeing you in Seattle next year.

School leaders have a similar transformation in mind for the alternative school program itself, potentially helping many more kids in circumstances different from Chandler's.
A polite 17-year-old from Alexandria, Chandler landed in the program after some serious mistakes at his old school, a common enough route to the spartan alternative school campus in Jacksonville.
Until now, the alternative school has been open only to students who have specific academic needs and to those being disciplined, but that could soon change.
Today at a Calhoun County School Board meeting Alternative School Principal Robin Kines is expected to present a plan that would open the program up to students who are at risk of dropping out.
"I hope to see the P.A.S.S., the Positive Approach to Student Success program, open up avenues for students who need it," Kines said. "Some students are just not cut out for traditional school."
Kines and Calhoun County Schools Superintendent Joe Dyar said students combating low self-esteem, social pressure or personal problems that might interfere with academic performance are ideal candidates for the program. Though the program is designed to give at-risk students another option on the path to graduation, it won't be for every student having a hard time in high school.
"We need to make sure the people we accept into the program are the correct candidates," Kines said.
Students must be recommended for the program to participate. And that's just the first step in the approval process to take part.
Kines said students must also complete an application, participate in an interview and sign a contract. If a student is accepted into the program, teachers will draft an education plan to help him complete his coursework and graduate, she added.
The program was developed in response to a request from a local high school principal who was trying to find help for a student two years behind his peers and at risk of dropping out, Dyar said. The superintendent approached other principals and administrators with the problem. They began developing the alternative graduation plan, which will be implemented by January, for at-risk students, he said.
A student who has fallen years behind would be an ideal candidate for the program, the administrators said. So too would a young mother or a student who is being bullied and might leave school to escape social pressure.
Morgan Gravitt came to the school from the Pleasant Valley community recently after she ran away from home. The 17-year-old, a high school senior, said the alternative school is helping her get back on her feet.
By next year she wants to be ready to attend college so she can later pursue a career in law enforcement.
"I knew there was going to be a lot of drama going on at my regular school, plus there were going to be too many distractions so I just decided to come here," Gravitt said. "You're not judged here … even the teachers won't judge you."
The program's facility on the campus of the Calhoun County Career Technical Center was renovated last year. Its six classrooms and two offices offer a well-ordered environment that contrasts somewhat with the typical high school campus.
Amid white walls and new tile, students abide by more rules than their peers at the county's high schools. Shirts must be tucked in and held tight by belts. Books must be carried in plastic crates. Any and all personal items — cell phones, wallets, keys — must be surrendered at the start of the school day.
Unlike traditional high school classrooms, those at the alternative school are sparsely decorated — only a few posters and inspirational phrases hang on the walls.
Students work quietly in front of computer screens set up in tiny cubicles, in small group settings or in small classes.
The program expansion won't cost the system any money because the alternative school is adequately staffed, Dyar said. The school boasts a teacher for every core subject, a guidance counselor and a physical education teacher.
Twenty students in different grades are enrolled there, but with the current staff the alternative school could serve up to 100 students, Dyar said. The superintendent added that the teacher-to-student ratio is very small at the school.
"It's a very personal experience," Dyar said. "Why not help them … why not try to find a way to get somebody out so they can be productive citizens?"
For Chandler, the Alexandria 17-year-old, the environment is just right, he said. He was getting by at his old school, but barely.
"I passed, but by the skin of my teeth," Chandler said. "It just comes easier to me up here."
If he stays on track, he should return to Alexandria High next year, something he's looking forward to despite the good experience he's having at the alternative school. If all goes well then, he'll graduate at the same time as his peers in the spring of 2014.
