My walk through the college

As I walk around the school I can see a cultural exchange every where. Everyone has an impact on those around you. Cutural relationships are made as soon as you sit down and talk with some one. In the library people are able to sit back and reflect on life around them. Because it is close to the end of the year people are working hard to get every thing finished. The pub though is sitll a place to hang out with those friends you have made here. Pool has always been a social activity. Grab a beer abd play some pool with the buds. And some of the people we've met here will be leaving but because of the experiance we have shared with these people each of our lives will be that much better in the long run. I know that I have adopted some of the things my frinds do and I also know that they have done the same. Everyone you meet has an effect on you. Espcally when you come to a school as small as Loyalist. You don't realize until the end but there are things that are going to be missed once your gone because you might take them for granted at the time. But I think because of the technological age its easier to saty in touch with these individuals hence your connected to a little part of that persons personal culture. A culture that continueslly grows which means we all continue to grow and become a more understanding global citizen.

Lynn McCracken

Lynn McCracken is the liibrarian, who looks after the interlibrary loan program at Loyalist College.
Loyalist is linked to all the colleges in Ontario. If they can't find the book in a college library, there is a link to the National LIbrary of Canada, which then links to the universities.
It can take up two weeks for a book to arrive, but usually they come more quickly.
"We are not yet involved with scanned books yet, but there is potential," said McCraken.
Another big part of her job is cataloque development.

She finds course relevent material to build the collection.. Staff, faculty and students come up with suggestions for her.
The overall bugdet for aquistions is in the order of 2oo,ooo dollars, said Dayle Gorsline, acquisitions librarian.

Acquisitions include books, videos, data bases, magazines,and journals.

The library takes print and microfilm copies of the National Post, Globe and Mail and Intelligenser.

Vanier Cup

The game of the year and quite possibly the greatest Vanier Cup of all time. The whole game had the feeling that something big was going to happen and did it ever. Throw the pregame predictions out, this game came down to who wanted it the most. The fans, the big plays, everything fell into place to produce a unforgetable game. For those who missed it, that's a shame and for those who have ever doubted the quality of Canadian football, silence. The game was one for the memory bank, a day I and everyone else there will tell stories of for a while.

The Vanier returns to Ontario

A dramatic last secnd field goal gave Laurier a stunning victory. Ryan Pyear of Belleville is the MVP. The field has erupted with fans. I have never seen anything like this.

Game changer

David Stevens, a Hec Creighton nominee, shows his worth with a 81-yard touchdown run for the Huskies. Laurier has five minutes left to get eight.

Huskies take the lead

A 41- yard field goal by Braden Suchan has given the Huskies their first lead since earlier in the second. Since earlier kicking woes, Suchan has stepped up his game in both punting and kicking duties.

4th Quarter

Entering the final frame, two points separate the teams. The excitement in the crowd has changed to more of a nervousness. The game is up for grabs.

Huskies march right back

Showing why they are 11-0 and ranked number two in the country, the Saskatchewan Huskies responded to Lauriers score with a 11 play, 84 yard drive to put the Huskies within two after missing a two-point conversion.

Laurier scores

Ryan Pyear's second touchdown pass has put Laurier up 15-7 with under five minutes to play in the 3rd quarter.

Finishing

The Golden Hawks offence is failing to capitalize on great plays by both the defence and special teams. Though well below zero, the array of dropped balls by the Hawks may come back to haunt them.

2nd Half

Laurier starts second half with a huge kick return to half, but a two and out once again halts their good field position.

Halftime

The score remains 8-7 for Laurier. Picked as huge favourites entering the game, the Huskies are probably counting their blessings that their only down by one. Laurier might really regret their handful of blown chances. While still winning, they should be up by at least 10.

Opening up

Both teams are playing a lot looser. The first quarter jitters seem to have subsided. Both teams are starting to put together more substantial drives.

Laurier strikes back

QB Pyear hits receiver Andrew Baechler over the middle, putting Laurier up 8-7.

Wind aided

Third play with the wind, Huskies get a 67-yard pass play which leads to the games first major. Huskies 7-Hawks 1.

1st Quarter

So far, the underdog Golden Hawks from Laurier have the upper hand, but they start the second quarter into a strong wind. With the punting game so far being the difference, this wind shift could be huge.

Field Goal

Missed FG by Brian Devlin, nerves may be getting to the normally reliable All-Canadian kicker. Laurier 1 - Saskatchewan 0.

Fumble

Laurier gets the first big break as the Huskies on the second play from scrimmage. Laurier is already in scoring range.

Kick-off

We're under way with the Saskatchewan Huskies receiving the ball to start. The announcer is being drowned out by this massive crowd.

Pre-game interviews

Just spoke to the Belleville trio. Star quarterback Kyle Pyear, back-up running back Peter Quinney and former coach Barry Pyear all formally of Centennial. QB Pyear says that "“I'm not nervous, just excited and ready to bring Laurier the championship"”. Kick-off coming up.

The Desjardins Vanier Cup

The warm-ups are well under warm. The crowd is rapidly filling Ivory Wynn Stadium in Hamilton. A sea of purple and gold colours fill the east stands, already in game mode with cheers of all kinds. These fans from Laurier University are hoping to celebrate their first championship since 1991.

Floor question on Tiawan

How long until the Chinese go into Taiwan?

"It will be a long time because China is too preoccupied with maintaining economic growth. Taiwan knows this and continues to ruffle China's feathers," he said.

2008 part 2

If China sees a continued US threat past 2008, they will start to look for their own alliances. This will bring us back to the alliance systems of old, and the world wars that go with them, Dyer said.

2008

The year 2008 is a pivotal year because, if the neo-cons are still in control, the Chinese will start to get twitchy. They see the hostile alliances that the US is making around them in Asia, and if it keeps going, there will be problems for everyone.

War is the problem

War is the real problem in todays world, Dyer said.
“Not bird flu; not global warming; but because if big war comes back, those issues won't be a problem to you, you'll be dead,” he said.

A funny thing happened on the way to Baghdad

Following 9/11, the UN security council gave the US two resolutions to go into Afghanistan, and all the countries go along with them.
But they wouldn't go into Iraq, Dyer said.
“We did not help because what America doing was illegal,” he said.
It was illegal becuase Suddam Hussein hadn't invaded anyone, he added.

Neo-cons running the US

Neo-conservatives running the United States now. They are the same ones who ran it in the 1980s, under Republican former President Ronald Reagan: Vice-president Dick Cheney, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeldt, etc..., Dyer said.
In the 1980s, the U.S. Cold War plan changed. No longer would Americans try to contain the USSR. Instead, it would try to defeat the “evil empire”. So they continued to raise defence funding as did the USSR.... Eventually, the USSR will go out of business.
In reality, the USSR fell because its economy stopped growing in the late 1960s. High oil prices propped the USSR up until 1981 when the prices crashed... 10 years later, it finally collapsed.

USA invasion

American President George W. Bush to his credit didn't send in 200,000 troops. Instead, he sent a few thousand troops, but used mostly Afghan allies. Osama Bin Laden didn't get what he wanted, and has been on the run ever since, Dyer said.

Terrorist jujitsu

Terrorists use a "jujitsu" style tactic by taking little jabs at the USA to provoke it to attack.
"?9/11 was about suckering the United States into invading Afghanistan," he said.
Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden used this to entice the Americans into action.
"If he could lure them into doing that, he could finally get Al Qaeda into power," he said.

Islamists

Islamists have emerged because for 200 years, the Arab world has been dominated by the west. Fanatics believe it is because they have failed God. So by going back to follow God, it will restore Arab rule, Dyer explained.
But, only five to 10 per cent of Arabs believe this, he pointed out.
"Arabs aren't stupid. They don't want to replace governments with fanatics who will be oppresive." he said.
“They'd rather stay home and watch T.V.”

Islamic threat?

Since 9/11, there have been 800 deaths due to Islamic terrorism... In four years.
“More people are killed by dog bites, and we haven't declared wars on dogs," he said.
“You stand a better chance of drowning in a bathtub, so feel free to take baths in pairs or small groups,” he added.

Lies lies lies

“I feel I have been lied to more in the past 10 years than ever before,” Gwynne Dyer told an audience at the Empire Theatre in Belleville.

USA is in economic trouble

After 2005 or so, the United States will no longer be the sole superpower, interntional journalist Gwynne Dyer told an audience at Belleville's Empire Theatre Tuesday evening. India and China are growing much faster than the US and will eventually catch up. Therefore, the US is building alliances around China's periphery: 10 military deals with India, and they are even talking to Vietnam.

Canada's global role

Canada has fallen a bit. But, in general, it “still punches above its weight.”
Dyer carries two passports, but finds that the Canadian passport is easier to use in “funny places”.
Canada's open immigration policy has helped maintain Canada's image around the world, especially in Asia.

Advice for student journalists

Journalists will not have the luxury of being able to avoid dilemmas, so pick the issues you stand-up for.
“There's no absolutes. If you need to make a stand, make itwithh your while,” he said.
“Pick your stand, don't throw it away over something petty,” he added.

On the papers

Right now, the paper of choice is The Guardian, he said. A year ago, it would have been The Independent, which has become a tabloid.

He think the best U.S. paper is the Los Angeles Times, not the New York Times or the Washington Post.”

On Cdn. Journalism

Dyer was never trained as a journalist, but as far as he could tell, Canadian journalists were just as good as anyone else. Although, there may be too many schools for the number jobs that are available.

Broke into journalism by accident

“I found out that I could write for a newspaper without working for a newspaper.”

“I've worked for 30 years without ever having a job.”

With the end of the cold war, many more markets opened up. There is now a Russian translated column and (I am published in) several papers in India.”

"Was wipped-out in English Canada, mostly because of Conrad Black..."

Dyer arrives

As Dean Geoff Cudmore introduced interntional journalist Gywnne Dyer, who has come to Loyalist College, prior to a speaking engagement at the Empire Theatre tonight at 7 p.m. He mentioned his latest bookn which Dyer held up and announced with humorous authority “Buy this!”

4:01 pm

Dean of Media Studies Geoff Cudmore waits in the lobby, while two photographers wait outside. Lots of rain to see, but still waiting for Dyer to show.

GD 2

It will be interesting to see how he will reconcile the fact that it is US big businesses that have benefitted emensely from China being a source of a stable and inexpensive work force where thousands of US jobs have been out-sourced.
The US has essentially helped bring China to the brink of being a superpower, why have they now changed their perspective?

Gwynne Dyer

Gwynne Dyer, military expert, author and filmmaker speaks in Belleville tonight at 7 p.m. He will be speaking about global politics and the subversive battle America is waging to maintain its hegemony against the rising power of China. His press release suggests that the war on terror is actually a ruse for the US to build allies in Asia, specifically, the Middle East, whose oil China depends on to develop.
