They have enticed me under false pretenses to go over on this mission," said [DAVE GIBSON], 52, shortly before shipping out of Winnipeg. "This is just discrimination against reservists. "They paid all this money to train me and now they're saying the training isn't good enough to justify the rank they gave me," Gibson said. In [Peter McKay]'s response, the minister indicates that Queen's Regulations and Orders for the Canadian Forces "stipulates that members might have to relinquish their substantive rank and revert to a lower rank when the conditions of transfer between Canadian Forces components preclude acceptance in the rank held."
In terms of Canadian football, there has been no quarterback in the history of the game, in almost 100 years of history, that has seen as much football as [Damon Allen] has as an active quarterback," [Michael Clemons] said. "He's got a wealth of knowledge, a wealth of experience to share. He's seen almost every defence, he's been in almost every situation, pressure and otherwise, so when you talk about mentorship, he's it. He's a whole other level. It's like great-grandfather wisdom. "My heart goes out to Damon because he's such a competitor, he wants to be out there," said receiver Derrell Mitchell, who rejoined the Argos on Monday after being released by Edmonton. "I understand what he's going through, I've talked to him, there's just that competitive side of him that he's not ready...
Obviously, ([Andrew Raycroft]) had a good performance tonight and that just means I'm going to have to make a good impression on Sunday," [Cory Schneider] said. "I think I still have a chance as long as I'm still here. "I'd like to stay if my play merits it," says Schneider. "But if they send me down again, that's fine with me. Manitoba's been great to me and the city's done a lot of good for me. I'm sure I could go there and learn some more things. It's not like I've perfected the art." "I love to compete and I hate to lose," says Schneider. "So whether it's junior or the NHL or the AHL, I just want to do my best and help my guys win. So if I go there, I'll do my best and try and win every game I can."
I appreciate the Argos making this decision early... it's unfortunate because I would've liked that to have happened the first week. I'm disappointed... what I control is what I do on the field and obviously it wasn't enough. But my dedication to this team and to winning remain the same. "Those few days when I digested the situation, I didn't question my skill level at all," he said. "Am I still out of the picture? I don't believe I am. "As far as being a mentor, I've been doing that my whole career," he said. "You don't necessarily have to be a backup to be a mentor."
A: Our company has moved from being a small family business to employing close to 3,000 people. The challenge now is raising our corporate procedures to a whole new professional level without losing that all-important family atmosphere. In earlier years, we didn't need as many protocols in place because everyone's responsibilities were understood. As we have expanded from six facilities to 10, roles have become bigger but more narrowly defined or responsibilities have been split. So I may be giving someone an opportunity to grow but they may see it as a demotion or a loss in confidence because they are not doing all the things they used to do. So we need to find a way to put business systems in place that will help us function better yet will not compromise our culture. A: Our monthly n...
Italian soccer power Juventus was demoted to the Italian second division for match-fixing by a sports tribunal yesterday and stripped of its last two Serie A titles. Lazio and Fiorentina also were demoted to Serie B, the second division, while AC Milan was spared demotion but given a 15-point penalty in the top division for next season. AC Milan also had 44 points taken off its total from last season and won't play in European tournaments this season. The sports prosecutors had sought harsher penalties for some of the teams, requesting the demotion of Juventus to third-tier Serie C or lower, and of AC Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio to Serie B.
Grinding it out, that's the strength of my game," laughed [Jason Spezza], who obviously took it well. "It's important to get guys playing their positions. This is a good solution to get myself and ([Eric Staal]) in our regular positions and hopefully spark something. They talked to me today and made sure I didn't think something was wrong. ([Patrick Sharp]) scored close to 40 goals. I don't think it's too much of a demotion. "You don't get demoted when you're on Team Canada," said [Shane Doan]. "When you're on Team Canada, you do whatever you are asked. If you're asked to be a cheerleader, you're the best cheerleader in the tournament." "There's enough pressure on the players," said [Ken Hitchcock], explaining the patient process. "We don't need to heap a bunch more on them."
The atmosphere can be menacing, but Sokurov and screenwriter Yuri Arabov keep finding comedy in small, inexplicable details like [Hirohito] practising the official imperial hobby, which happens to be marine biology. We see the emperor solemnly donning a white lab coat and dissecting a hermit crab as a flunky writes notes. (I'm not exactly sure why this is funny, but it is.) His demotion to merely mortal status at least offers an escape from an aimless, infantile existence. Like many other isolated and over-protected grown-ups, Hirohito has developed ritualized behaviours and weird obsessions. There's a suggestion of Scorsese's Howard Hughes here, and a touch of Neverland-era Michael Jackson. (The emperor is so cosseted that he has quite a time of it when the Americans -- such kooky, sel...
* Jump-start Jaffray: Moose sniper Jason Jaffray has not scored in seven games since being returned to the club by the Vancouver Canucks. It's tough to say Jaffray is slumping as he's picked up five points over that stretch, but the Moose need him to pump the puck in the net. Maybe he's banged up, maybe it just hasn't happened or maybe he's finding it difficult to handle the demotion from the Canucks. Either way, the Moose need him to snap out of it. I knew (Vancouver) was having its fathers' trip for the last month that I was there but they kind of said 'we'll wait and see' because of the injuries and all the guys coming and going. But after a game near the end of last week, after the game, (Canucks VP) Steve Tambellini came and asked me if my dad wanted to join the team for the week....
