SIX PACKS ON ICE, ECHL EDITION: Rivalries Keep ECHL Great
I've said it before and I'll say it again — rivalries can be healthy. Unfortunately for the ECHL though, it's hard to maintain a decent rivalry because of frequent player changes. That doesn't have to impact the way fans feel towards their most-hated teams though. Even the team name just makes them breathe fire out of their noses. We all have our least favorite teams (in any sport), but for some teams in the ECHL the history between them will never fade.
The Alaska Aces and the Las Vegas Wranglers may have the most bitter rivalry in the league. The two teams have a past of fighting for the Western Division title.
In the 2005-06 season, the Wranglers finished one point behind the Aces and Alaska claimed the West. In 2006, the Aces eliminated Las Vegas during the Western Division finals.
Las Vegas isn't the only team that has a history with Alaska. The Idaho Steelheads also consider the Aces a fierce rival, and the rivalry dates back to the teams' WCHL days. Idaho has the edge in the series, defeating the Aces in three out of four games so far this season. The two teams will see each other three more times in March, but Alaska would have to win all three games to come out the victor of regular-season match ups.
The league's newest rivalry is between the two Florida teams — the Orlando Solar Bears and the Florida Everblades. The teams have met 13 times so far this season, and Orlando has a 7-5 record against the Everblades so far. There will be four more meetings between the two teams so anything is possible in the Sunshine State.
More rivalries are born every day, and each new season may fuel a new hatred for a team. Who knows how it will turn out, but we love watching to see how it all goes down.

The National Anti-Vivisection Society, founded in 1875, is the world's first body to challenge the use of animals in research and continues to lead the campaign today. NAVS has spearheaded the adoption of advanced, non-animal methods; exposed laboratory animal suffering and breaches of regulations with our undercover investigations; funded non-animal scientific and medical research; educated public and media about the flaws of animal research and provided legislators detailed briefings to support the replacement of animals in research with advanced methods.
Following the publication of its long-overdue strategy to reduce animal experiments, the NAVS is calling on the UK Government to tackle the growing number of animals in research.

We may support partial measures of reform on animal use, which would provide steps towards the replacement of the use of animals in research.

Yankee fans can now pick up jerseys and shirts of the team's latest superstar.
The first shipment of Ichiro Suzuki number 31 jerseys arrived at Modell's Wednesday and more are on the way.
The Yanks made a deal with the Mariners for the 10-time All-Star outfielder on Monday.
Modell's says the Ichiro merchandise has been in high demand since the trade was announced.
"We've had a whole bunch of people come in, buy the shirts, buy the jerseys for the kids, the parents, everyone," said Modell's employee Naomi Santos. "We had a family come in just going nuts, going 'oh my gosh, he's here, he's here.' So it's been really exciting. A lot of people have been coming in all week, asking for the jerseys, asking for the shirts. So we're really happy he's here."
Ichiro will make his home debut Friday when the Yankees host their arch-rivals, the Boston Red Sox.

Bottled Guinness
A blasphemy? Has anyone tried this? I can't imagine having one that isn't drawn seconds before I drink it? Maybe I just want the visual experience.
One last (well, "last" is wishful thinking when it comes to the Guinness stout(s) and it's many legends, myths & rumors) ...one more note on Guinness brands in the US.
The Guinness website has separate pages for most every country it's sold in. For awhile, the wording of the entries for, say, Guinness Extra Stout would be ever so slightly different re: the Irish origin of the beer from country to country. I no longer have access to the old wording (one of the difficult things about research via the net vs. the printed page) but one country's entry might say "brewed at the St. James Gate brewery " and another might have said "brewed as it is at St. James Gate...".
So, I was surprised to see that, point blank, the current US page' FAQ says:
"All the GUINNESS® sold in the UK, Ireland and North America is brewed in Ireland at the historic St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin."
Last question- http://www.guinness.com/us_en/bottomn...
Now, while some claim that some kegs, cans and bottles of Guinness Draught in the US comes from Canada (and, I think it's safe to say that there's no reports of anyone actually SEEING those), we all (those of us who read labels, at least) KNOW that the Guinness EXTRA STOUT in the US is plainly labeled "New Brunswick, Canada" (Moosehead) and previously was from Labatt. So, this rather blanket mis-statement on the official Guinness USA website is well... let's say "perplexing". (I'd say misleading and or a lie but...).
So, I sent an e-mail to them and asked why they state that all Guinness in North America is brewed in Ireland when the labels on GES show Canada. And they actually responded, with:
"Please note that Guinness Extra Stout can be brewed in Canada, in New
Brunswick. We do apologize for the conflicting information. We do thank you
for bringing your concern to our attention..."Now, isn't that strange way to word it? "Can be brewed in Canada", not "is brewed in Canada" or something more definite? "Can" seems to imply that some US GES might come from Ireland (I've haven't seen it in the past decade ever since the arrival of Labatt's version on the East Coast, but I've read West Coast people state that the GES they get is from Molson or Kankakee (a Labatt brewery). But, the point is- why not just say, plainly, "Guinness Extra Stout in the US *is* brewed in..."
In another thread ("Corned Beef and Cabbage"), we discussed the fact that many "imported" brands are contract brews coming from Canada, not their true "home". "Braineater" correctly noted that most people don't care and that it also means that the beers in question are subject to less travel and time in transit so, in theory, should be fresher and in better shape. I agree, altho', must note that even if that IS the case, brewers continue to be secretive and shady about it, as shown in the example above, rather than being upfront and boasting of the freshness and true-to-tradition contract beer.
I also think that if one tells someone drinking Fosters, Guinness, Harp, Sapporo, Kirin, etc., that the beer is NOT from Australia, Ireland or Japan, they often DO care. (Be careful, tho'- if you tell them before the bottle is empty, they'll turn it on it's side to read the label and get a lapful of cold beer. Suddenly YOU'RE to blame, not the contract brewery! )
re: JessKidden
I seem to recall reading that all of the Guinness products, no matter where they are brewed, contain what they call 'essence', all of which comes from the St James Gate brewery (sort of like adding porterine to darken up a lighter beer). Perhaps, in order to be more accurate they should say "Some portion of all the GUINNESS® sold in the UK, Ireland and North America is brewed in Ireland at the historic St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin." ;)
re: TongoRad
Yeah, I love the sound of that "additive"- "Guinness Essence". A co-worker once brought me back a chocolate bar from Ireland with the stuff in it. I keep waiting from Diageo to merge with Proctor & Gamble or some other company like that so that we might one day see "Essence of Guinness" aftershave, mouthwash, shampoo and deodorant. Maybe even a bar soap to compete with "Irish Spring".
(You know, I very seldom drink Guinness- maybe in a Irish bar or if there's nothing but BMC on tap in some restaurant. But all the "myths" around it fascinate me, in an annoying way...<g>).
re: TongoRad
Hmmmm...could "essence" be that part of the brew that adds the characteristic sour "tang" that Guiness has? It could be the reason that unlike other similar licensing situations, the Extra stout sold to us here in the states that originates in Canada tastes, well, like Guiness.
Either way, Guiness always was and remains the benchmark for "stout".
As far as I'm concerned, other brands are riffing on the original melody. That can be either good OR bad.
The bottled stuff is an abomination. It's a great idea, I'd love to have Guinness in my home on a regular basis, but I'd rather drink wine than that thing with the widget in it.
If it's not from a tap, it's not the same. I'd rather wait until the next time I'm at a bar with wonderful tap Guinness. The stuff from the tap is so heavenly good that is becomes its own food group. Its even better than my homebrew.
For an Irish Dry Stout, I would personally reccomend Sea Side Stout from Port Brewing in San diego. If anyone is in the area and has a chance to try it, please do so. It is excellent.
re: Jim Dorsch
O' Hara's Celtic Stout from Carlow is, IMO, the best of the Irish dry stouts followed in order by: Beamish, Guinness, Murphy's and, finally, Cafferty's. And yes, I've quaffed more that a few Guinness at The Mothership's Gravity Bar in Dublin. The best I've ever had from The States is Cadillac Mountain Stout but good luck finding it outside of Maine.
re: onlytwomuses
Sorry for the ridiculously late reply, but I just saw this. Tully's Beer & Wine on Route 1 in Wells, Me. used to carry Cadillac Mountain and probably still does.
They're the best source for hops & malt in the State-O-Maine.Here's their link; http://www.tullysbeerandwine.com/
Just this weekend, I bought a four-pack of bottled Guiness, just for a change of pace. I cannot say that it was bad, but it wasn't close to the draft animal, which is available in one pub I know of here in Plzen. But all in all, still a pretty good product, and very tasty when you make a Black Czech, which is a Black and Tan using Pilsner Urquell...
If you've never had a Guiness in Ireland you've got nothing to compare to....they definitely don't ship the 'real deal' out of Ireland.
re: amkirkland
Hard claim to make I know...but ....drank my share both here and in Ireland and it is soooo different....and not in a good way - still a quality product for sure but in Ireland it is soooooooooo delicious and here it always seems a bit off.
Plus - some Irish expats living in the states concur.....for what it's worth.
When drinking in the states I like to stick with fresh, quality local brews....
hope that helps!
re: amkirkland
i agree-- the best drink ever for me was the guinness at the brewery in dublin. completely unforgettable. when i got back to the states i couldn't drink a pint of guinness for years because it was so disappointing compared to what i remembered from that dreary gray morning, 10 am drinking stemmed glasses of guinness poured by a little 4 ft tall old lady, served on an ancient, cold marble bar! what a wonderful day! i drink guinness now occasionally, when the pour looks right. it is NOT the same animal as across the puddle. there is a reason the stuff is legend of prose & verse!
re: amkirkland
It's true that some pubs in the States simply don't know what a good pint of Guinness is supposed to taste and look like - either the temperature is all wrong, the gas mixture is off, the pour is terrible, but some pubs do a pretty decent job or pouring a nice pint of Guinness. Now it's been a while since I lived in England and would have Guinness every day, so perhaps my memory fails me, but I've had some pints here in the States at some good Irish pubs that pour a very good pint that's pretty close to the real deal. On the other hand, I've also had countless terrible pints... so it just depends on where you are and if there's a significant population of expats living in the area who know what a good pint should taste like, thereby increasing the chances that there will be a pub with good Guinness.
re: jbyoga
I've seen a few posts on beer boards claiming that the locals in Ireland prefer Murphy's over Guinness. I prefer Murphy's over Guinness, since I think it is smoother. I found Guinness to have more of an aftertaste, but that's just my opinion. They're both good beers. I prefer Young's double chocolate stout over both of them
re: buffetking
Sorry buffetking, it's not even close. Budweiser even outsells Murphy's by a wide margin country-wide. If a pub sells two stouts the "other" is usually Murphy's but the only section of the country were it's really strong is in The Southwest, i.e. Kerry and in Cork, where it originates. Beamish tends to be the "other" in The North, again, where it originates.
Guiness is to great stout as a Yugo is to great cars :)
Try a Victory Storm King, Bells Expedition, North Coast Old Rasputin, Great Divide Yeti, or Arcadia Imperial and you'll never willingly drink another Guiness
re: Chicago Mike
I hear you but that might be comparing apples to oranges. The beers that you've mentioned are all Imperial Stouts. Guiness on the other hand is a Irish Stout and thus a session beer (at around 4.0% abv). So yes if I had a craving for an Imperial Stout I definitely wouldn't choose Guiness. Now, where does Guiness rate among Irish Stouts? I'm more of a Beamish guy myself; leaner, less sugar and a bit more interesting than Guiness IMHO.
re: Chicago Mike
No, Guinness is deceptively low in alcohol, despite its reputation. It is, as Chinon00 says, useful as a session beer because of that. In fact, Guinness ran commercials last year pointing out that a pint of Guinness only has 125 calories! (I *think* that's the number, I may be misremembering.)
So anyway, yeah: it's not a fair comparison.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
yes, youre totally correct. i think its just the black color that for many years belonged solely to guinness here in the US. i mean, black beers (be they stouts, porters, imperials, even brown ales) werent WIDELY known here in the states during the 80s. its only recently with the beervolution here yknow? anyway, guinness isnt strong at all. total session beer. 6-7 pints and youll still bewalking. crooked maybe,but functioning. same amount of somethin glike Old Heathen Imperial and youll be comatosed. sleeping. feeling like absolute huddah next day.
re: Chinon00
I prefer Beamish over Guiness as well, but a pint of well poured Guiness is still a treat, especially the stuff made for the Irish market. Guiness gets a lot of flack from beer geeks, but I actually like it. While I love Imperial stouts, I am not always in the mood to get real drunk, a few of those and its lights outs. Guiness, you can drink all day long.
When I lived in Prague, I drank alot of Guiness at the Irish Pubs over there. I am not sure what type of Guiness they served(as they have different recipes for different markets) but it was excellent.
The problem w/ most non-Irish bars here in the U.S. is that it's difficult to get a properly-calibrated Guinness from draft. Which is why it's almost better to get it from the can or the bottle (w/ nitro thingy) to get a proper pour.
In Ireland, pubs have the luxury/option to be a Licensed Seller - which basically means that someone working for St. James' Gate comes to make sure your draft is pouring properly.
I love Guinness. Spent about four hours at their museum/factory last March.
re: braineater
Good point and it's not as complicated as it's often made out . . . the simple rule of thumb for pouring Guinness is that the shorter the line from the keg to the tap, the better chance of a smooth and even pour for the pint.
Ideally, the kegs are situated right under the taps. Many bars in the US (and maybe elsewhere too, I don't know) have their taps on the bar and the kegs under or behind the back bar . . . just that length of line, 15 feet or so from the tap to the keg, can make trouble for Guinness. Because of its "weight", it doesn't do well sitting in the line, waiting for the next pint to be drawn . . . when it sits in the line, it "settles", then when the tap is drawn again, it stirs, then it stops again, etc etc
re: brattenheimer
ME TOO! One of my guy friends and I actually went around reading (and of course nabbing as much of the free high gravity exports as possible) all the factoids... meanwhile our friends went almost immediately up to the fourth flour! We all made sure to take our turn to pour our "perfect pints." I still have my "certificate" from there! YUMMY memories.
When you raise that glass of bottled Guinness to make a toast be sure to include the land of the maple leaf, where it was made.
re: Jim Dorsch
Correct. Kegs, cans & widget bottles for North America are all brewed in Ireland (according to the official company line, at least), while the bottled Extra Stout is brewed over here. Specifically, the Extra Stout sold in the US is brewed in Canada by Moosehead, while the stuff sold in Canada is brewed by Labatt.
Anyway, both versions pale in comparison to the Extra Stout and Foreign Extra Stout versions available in other countries. The Caribbean FES version is especially nice - 7.5%, thick brown-black, big and roasty with a nice sourness in the finish - mmmmm!
re: gregclow
YES THEY DO! And it makes me miss those Irish gates to the factory even more... I was at the Dublin Guinness factory for last St. Pat's and got to tour the facility and each level had tastings for each of the different beers brewed by Guinness (along with some tasty lil' oysters - hmmm I WONDER what they were trying to hint at with getting drunk and easting oysters?!). But every single specialty stouts that they brew for the foreign countries were sooooooo yummy and NONE of them are sold overseas. In fact, it also became obvious to us during the tour (and during other tastings of the draught available throughout the UK) that the draught, both cans and widgets, that make it to the US are not all made in Ireland. In fact, very few products from the actual breweries in Ireland make it to the US.... many fewer than North American bars and restaurants would like you to believe. The key to knowing - ALWAYS check the label on your can/ bottle. I think you'll find most of them state the product as being bottled in Canada. Sometimes, the better Irish pubs here get the real stuff in kegs, but I think they are only a select few... I could be wrong. Yet, I'm betting I'm right because every Guinness I've had here somehow tastes like feet....!
re: raharris
"... every single specialty stouts that they brew for the foreign countries ... and NONE of them are sold overseas."
Huh? <g>
" In fact, it also became obvious to us during the tour (and during other tastings of the draught available throughout the UK) that the draught, both cans and widgets, that make it to the US are not all made in Ireland. >snip< The key to knowing - ALWAYS check the label on your can/ bottle. I think you'll find most of them state the product as being bottled in Canada."
Every can, bottle and keg of Guinness Draught that I've ever seen in the US is clearly labeled as being from Ireland, and, currently, every bottle of
Guinness Extra Stout in the US that I see is currently labeled as being
brewed in New Brunswick, Canada (Moosehead). (Reportedly, the Labatt brewed version is still available in Canada. The US used to get that version, when the Irish brewed GES disappeared sometime in the past decade or so.)Are you basing your claim, which contradicts every other fact based report,
including many posts in this thread, merely on what the beer *tasted* like in the British Isles? Were you told or did you see evidence of Canadian made Guinness Draught? (Most beer writers note that Guinness Draught in kegs for the US market *is* flash pasteurized, unlike those in Ireland. The bottles and cans also note "pasteurized").Have anyone EVER seen a can, bottle or keg of Guinness Draught (NOT GES) sold in the US that said "Brewed in Canada" on it?
Is it really possible, given the three tier system in the US, that Diageo-Guinness USA (the subsidiary that imports the brand into the US) secretly sends two different versions, Irish and Canadian, of the same beer to distributors, who then sell one version to "a select few" establishments, and the inferior versions to everyone else?
re: sunofabeach41249
"Hi, I can tell you that ALL bottled Guinness Extra Stout is brewed in Dublin, Ireland."
So, how do you explain these labels that are affixed to bottles of Guinness Extra Stout sold in the USA?
Just to clarify- the traditional bottled Guinness Extra Stout is a different animal than the draft beer. Within the past decade they have also introduced another bottled product which is the lower gravity 'draft' beer with a nitro widget, essentially the same as the can.
I can't say I really see the point of the packaging if one is going to pour it into a glass anyway, which...well...c'mon...they don't expect us to drink their beer out of the bottle, do they??? (Judging by the latest commercials, apparently they do ;) )
re: kcchan
You can find the recipe & comments here http://www.chowhound.com/topics/357816
re: quazi
i completely agree that the EXTRA STOUT in a bottle which just so happens to be widely available in most bodegas around NYC, is far superior to even tap guinness. well, its a different animal entirely, i guess i should say. apples and oranges. i love draught guinness of course. started me on beer appreciation. BUT, the extra something in the extra stout is just sooo good. now, i only wish they would do the widget bottle-thing with the extra stout brew. this way i could get my desired nitrogen-bubbled head WITH the exquisite flavor of the extra stout.

In Chicago and Northern Illinois
CHICAGO, IL-November 6, 2012 – Eight Chicago-area businesses have been selected as recipients of the 2013 Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics by the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago & Northern Illinois (BBB). The Torch Award spotlights companies that exemplify ethical business practices. The 16th annual awards luncheon will be Thursday, November 29, at the Hilton Rosemont Chicago O'Hare in Rosemont, Illinois. Receiving recognition will be: Access One, Chicago; Andrea A. Raila & Associates, Chicago; The Boeing Company, Chicago; Eva's Bridal of Oak Lawn, Oak Lawn; Imagetec L.P, McHenry; LTD Commodities, Bannockburn; Passages Hospice, Lisle; and Scott Nelson Electric, Inc., Mundelein.
"Companies receiving the Torch Award do business the right way," said Steve J. Bernas, president & CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. "They know the importance of their customers, employees and other stakeholders to business success. And when this type of business succeeds the communities it operates in succeed. This is at the heart of why the BBB conducts the Torch Award program. We want to encourage businesses to do their best because it benefits everyone involved."
Bernas noted that the 2013 competition had the largest number of nominations and entries since the program began, with more than 2,060 nominations from a wide variety of businesses and consumers. Award recipients are selected by an independent panel of judges.
"The number and variety of businesses being nominated and entering the competition reflects an increasing interest by companies in ethical business practices and in self-regulation," said Bernas. "This belief is the cornerstone of the BBB system."
Companies are judged on ethical performance in seven general categories, and compared against similarly sized businesses based on number of employees.

DeGennaroUniversity of Tennessee, Knoxville - Department of Finance Richard BaillieMichigan State University - The Eli Broad College of Business and The Eli Broad Graduate School of Management Journal of Financial & Quantitative Analysis, Vol. 25, No. 2, June 1990 Abstract: Most asset pricing models postulate a positive relationship between a stock portfolio's expected returns and risk, which is often modeled by the variance of the asset price. This paper uses GARCH-in-mean models to examine the relationship between mean returns on a stock portfolio and its conditional variance or standard deviation. After estimating a variety of models from daily and monthly portfolio return data we conclude that any relationship between mean returns and own variance or standard deviation is weak. The results suggest that investors consider some other risk measure to be more important than the variance of portfolio returns.

Born on May 3, 1469, in Florence, Italy, Niccolò Machiavelli was a diplomat for 14 years in Italy's Florentine Republic during the Medici family's exile. When the Medici family returned to power in 1512, Machiavelli was dismissed and briefly jailed. He then wrote The Prince, a handbook for politicians on the use of ruthless, self-serving cunning,
"Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved."
inspiring the term "Machiavellian" and establishing Machiavelli as the "father of modern political theory." He also wrote several poems and plays. He died on June 21, 1527, in Florence, Italy.
Early Life and Diplomatic Career
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was born in Florence, Italy, on May 3, 1469—a time when Italy was divided into four rival city-states and, thusly, was at the mercy of stronger governments throughout the rest of Europe.
The young Niccolò Machiavelli became a diplomat after the temporary fall of Florence's ruling Medici family in 1494. He served in that position for 14 years in Italy's Florentine Republic during the Medici family's exile, during which time he earned a reputation for deviousness, enjoying shocking his associates by appearing more shameless than he truly was.
After his involvement in an unsuccessful attempt to organize a Florentine militia against the return of the Medici family to power in 1512 became known, Machiavelli was tortured, jailed and banished from an active role in political life.
Authoring 'The Prince'
Though it was initially a dark period for his career, Machiavelli's time away from politics gave him the opportunity to read Roman history and to write political treatises, most notably The Prince. The main theme of this short work about monarchal rule and survival is man's capacity for determining his own destiny in opposition to the power of fate, which has been interpreted as the political philosophy that one may resort to any means in order to establish and preserve total authority. The work has been regarded as a handbook for politicians on the use of ruthless, self-serving cunning, and inspired the term "Machiavellian." While many believe that the book's title character, "the prince," was based upon the infamous Cesare Borgia, some scholars consider it a satire.
Pope Clement VIII condemned The Prince for its endorsement of rule by deceit and fear. One excerpt from the book reads: "Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved."
In addition to The Prince, Machiavelli wrote the treatise On the Art of War (1521), among others, and several poems and plays, including 1524's satirical The Mandrake.
Later Years and Legacy
In his later years, Niccolò Machiavelli resided in a small village just outside of Florence. He died in the city on June 21, 1527. His tomb is in the church of Santa Croce in Florence, which, ironically, he had been banned from entering during the last years of his life. Today, Machiavelli is regarded as the "father of modern political theory."

Parents FAQ's
What are the biggest adjustments during the first year?
Learning to discipline oneself and manage time are critical adjustments that must be made. College classes may meet only every other day, or once a week, but the workload does not diminish. "Free" time may create a false sense of security, but after midterm exams it may become clear that more time should have been spent studying. It is suggested that the student spend two hours of studying for every one hour in class. However, study time does need to be balanced with study breaks. Another adjustment students may have to make is to seek help if academic difficulty is encountered. Your job is to reassure your student that success in college is an attainable goal for those who apply themselves.
What services are available for career planning?
The William Woods University Career Center invites students to discuss career options, self-assessment, values, skills, interests, goals and job-seeking strategies with a career counselor. The career center can assist students in developing resumes and cover letters, practicing interview skills and much more!
How can parents assist their student in the career development process?
Encourage your son or daughter to visit the Career Center as early as freshman year to learn about the many services and programs we offer. We want to empower students with the skills, experience, and knowledge needed to make informed decisions about their career planning every step of the way. This is best accomplished with an early start!
Does WWU offer a program for studying abroad?
William Woods University students have taken advantage of a variety of study abroad opportunities. The university is a member of the Missouri – London Consortium. This group of Missouri colleges and universities work together to provide students an opportunity to study in London while fulfilling credit requirements at their home institution. Other students have elected to gain a study abroad experience through the Woods Around the World program, which engages in a group travel opportunity over Spring Break. Still others have selected a host of other study abroad opportunities by partnering with other institutions. The study abroad program allows students to immerse themselves in the culture and life of the host country and become conversant in the language; to mature socially, spiritually, and intellectually; and to develop sensitivity to cultural differences and a sense of responsibility for and mission to other peoples of the world. For more information about study abroad, please visit the web site at or stop by the Career Center.
What is there to do off campus?
There's a variety of things to do in Fulton and the surrounding area. Check out all Mid-Missouri has to offer.
What is the mailing address for students?
All incoming mail and packages are received by the WWU Post Office and must be addressed as follows:
Your Name
William Woods University
Box #
Fulton, MO 65251
How can parents obtain more information?
All parents of new students are encouraged to attend orientation activities listed in the New Student Information pages. For parents of fall athletes, an abbreviated orientation will be provided upon your arrival. Mark your calendars now and plan on returning for Fall Family Weekend in October as well!
My daughter earned exceptional grades in high school. Why is she struggling now in college?
College is very different from high school! Even students who have done exceptionally well in high school will find college work challenging. Students spend less time in class than they did in high school and more time in preparation. College professors demand much more than high school teachers, and the course material is covered at a faster pace. Good note-taking, reading and study habits are the essential skills that make adjusting to classes easier.
Where can students go for assistance with their classes?
William Woods offers peer tutors in several subjects. There are also departmental tutors in some academic areas such as Management Information Systems. Additionally, students should meet with their professors to discuss areas in which they could improve. For more information on tutoring students should contact Bonnie Carr, Academic Advising Coordinator via email or by phone at 573-592-1135 or 1.800.995.3159 x 1135.
My son or daughter is not doing well in a class and doesn't know what to do.
The student should arrange for a meeting in the professor's office. This meeting should be arranged by the student either via email or by speaking with the professor before or after class time. It is not recommended that the student email any question other than the request to meet. At this time, the student can review what is giving them difficulty. They should discuss note taking and test preparation methods. Inquire about tutoring possibilities. This discussion should help the student determine if it is possible to succeed in the class or if they should consider dropping the class. If they plan to stay in the class, they should be sure to attend all of the class sessions. If they decide to drop the class, be aware of the published deadline for receiving a grade of "W". To drop a class, a student must complete the proper paperwork in the registrar's office. It is important to be aware of the last date to drop a class and still receive a "W". See the Academic Calendar for drop date information.
My son or daughter is not comfortable calling his or her professors. May I call for them?
Most professors do not appreciate phone calls from parents. While your call may be well intended, it is not generally acceptable. Further more, due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, which prohibits the university from releasing any information (including grades) about a student without the student's written permission, the professor could not speak with you about your son or daughter's performance in the class.
My son or daughter has their schedule for the current semester. How do they know what to take for the next semester and how do they go about registering for classes?
At William Woods all students are assigned to an academic advisor. Students meet with their advisor during orientation so they may put a name with a face and contact information. Students are also required to meet with their advisor each semester prior to registration for classes. The student and their advisor will determine which classes the student needs to take the next semester. After a student has met with their advisor, they are then responsible for logging on to Owlnet and registering for the classes. Students are not allowed to register for classes without meeting with their academic advisor.
Why do parents not receive a copy of mid-term and final grades?
Students obtain their grades electronically via Owlnet. Students who need hard copy grade reports, for tuition remission or other reasons, must make a request to the registrar's office at the end of each grading period. Grades may not be given over the phone.
In maintaining student records, the College complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, which prohibits the College from releasing any information (including grades) about a student without the student's written permission. An authorization form is available in the Registrar's Office, for your student to sign to grant you access to their grades. The law provides, however, that the College may disclose certain information without requiring the student's consent. Please see Educational Rights & Privacy for more information about FERPA.
What does William Woods University offer for students with disabilities?
William Woods University's Office of Disability Services offers students with documented disabilities access to obtaining accommodations to support their college experience.
Is the meal plan required if my son or daughter lives on campus
Yes, all residential students must be on the meal plan and there are no exceptions. Residential students are automatically placed on the 19-meal-per-week plan. There is also a 14-meal-per-week plan available. Any change to a student's meal plan must be made in the Office of Student Life during the first week of classes of each semester. William Woods University contracts with an outside company to provide food service. Residential students must provide a valid student identification card for admittance to meals.
What does my student need to do to continue to be eligible for the LEAD award?
All LEAD students must meet the requirements of the LEAD program during the current semester in order to be eligible for the LEAD award for the following semester. The LEAD policies and procedures are provided to the students during orientation, and they are in the William Woods University Student Handbook.
What can my student do if they are confused about anything regarding LEAD?
Students are encouraged to stop by the Office of Student Life, call 573-592-4239 or email with any questions or concerns that they may have about LEAD at any time. Debbie Schick, Office and LEAD Coordinator, and Venita Mitchell, Dean of Student Life, are available to answer questions and give tips so that students are successful in the LEAD program.
Can I check my son/daughter's LEAD points
Yes, if you have your student's LEAD barcode, which is located on their William Woods University Student ID, you can check your student's LEAD points the same way that they can. All you have to do is enter the barcode online and it will tell you how many LEAD points your student has obtained.
What should she/he bring for the residence hall room?
The residence halls will be open for you to move in beginning Wednesday, August 19. Hopefully, new students will have already filled out the online Residential Life Housing Form to give their preferences.
When planning what to bring from home, please refer to the new student information page. Here you will find a link for what to bring and what to leave. This provides an extensive list for incoming students. It also lists items that are prohibited inside the residence halls, such as candles, lamps with halogen bulbs, pets (other than a fish), etc.
How long are the beds in the residence halls?
The beds in the halls are 80 inches.
Can students stay in the residence halls over breaks?
Residents needing housing over University breaks should register for housing accommodations. Housing is not available for all breaks. For safety, it may be necessary to consolidate housing. Halls not used over breaks will be secured with a special locking system and residents of that hall will be unable to enter until the lock is removed after break.
What if my son or daughter experiences roommate problems?
The enjoyment of life in the residence hall will depend on the responsibility roommates take and the thoughtful consideration demonstrated for each other. At the beginning of the school year, roommates will fill out a Roommate Agreement with the Community Advisor on their floor. During this time all roommate will talk about preferences they have and rules that they want to agree upon. If a conflict arises the first contact a student will make is with the roommate. Talk out the problems that have come up and if the issues cannot be resolved the next step is going to talk to a Community Advisor in the Hall. The Community Advisor keeps a copy of the Roommate Agreement and will be able to refer to it when speaking with the roommates.
How can my son or daughter get involved in campus activities?
William Woods has 40+ student organizations and a vibrant Fraternity and Sorority Life community. Students can get involved in clubs and organizations within their major, like the Hands Up Club for American Sign Language Interpreting majors or the Dressage Club for equestrians. Or, students can join a fraternity or sorority. Joining a fraternity or sorority can lead to a lot of leadership activities and other activities on campus as well. All students are encouraged to participate in Greek recruitment.
What about computers and Internet connections on campus?
Wireless networking is available across most of campus. All residence hall rooms use the wired network, which provides better speed and more reliable access.
WWU's campus network will work with almost any computer, desktop or laptop purchased
in the last few years. Specific recommendations are here.
Students also have access to computers at several locations on campus. Several classrooms
have computers available and general use labs are available in the library and McNutt
Campus Center.
How do students find out about jobs on campus?
Students seeking work on or off campus can check out student employment for current job openings. Students must obtain a Student Employment Authorization Form from the student employment office before starting on-campus employment. Student employment is part of the Federal Work Study program and the financial aid process. Students must complete the FAFSA and indicate they are interested in Federal Work Study in order to be eligible.

A proposal before Toledo City Council for approval calls for the city to sell a surplus fire engine to the Penta Career Center for $1.
Toledo Fire and Rescue has a 1990 E-One fire engine with a 50-foot aerial ladder and a 500-gallon booster tank and pump, and the school is looking to use it for instructions related to its Public Safety/EMT Fire Science program.
Lt. Matt Hertzfeld says the engine was taken out of service in 2010 and it's not cost effective to try to maintain it in the city's fleet.
"It's reached a point where it won't pass a pump test, which means we can't draw water in, there's a vacuum leak in it, but it's still a useable apparatus for someone," Hertzfeld said. "It's just seen the end of the service life for us."
Hertzfeld says the engine will be much more productive in an educational capacity to help mold future firefighters, people who some day may apply for a job with Toledo Fire and Rescue.

Magic Wands: Lockout Day 101 (vs. Grizzlies)
Orlando, Fla.
(0-0) vs. (0-0)
Time/TV: 6 p.m./Who am I kidding?
Line: What Line?
Tickets: Good luck with that...
Season Series: Tonight in Orlando (I guess); Feb. 15 in Orlando (maybe); March 17 in Memphis (perhaps)
Video Vault:
1) Whenever the lockout ends, one of the tasks Orlando must complete is to determine what is Ryan Anderson's ceiling. Anderson's numbers compare favorably to a young Dirk Nowitzki and he has a unique skill set. But can he really get much better?
2) Justin Harper tells Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel that he believes he made the right decisions starting his pro career in France as he awaits the end of the lockout.
3) The Allan Houston amnesty provision has quickly become the Gilbert Arenas amnesty provision, writes Matt Moore of Pro Basketball Talk. His deterioration is very much at the center of the discussion over amnesties and the hard cap, as Mitch Lawrence of the New York Daily News adds. Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reminds us that the amnesty provision will not solve all of Orlando's woes.
4) Chip Crain of 3 Shades of Blue examines how contract values affect basketball-related income.
5) Are the Memphis Grizzlies just a myth or is something really special brewing after last year's run to the second round of the Playoffs?
6) Players at the All-Star exhibition game in Miami met with union head Billy Hunter at the conclusion of the game, Matt Moore of Eye on Basketball writes. Not much came out of the meeting, except for Carmelo Anthony pretty much conceding the first two weeks of the regular season are gone. The line appears firm at 53 percent.
7) Kyle Stack of SLAM takes a look at the connection between the art at Amway Center and the city of Orlando.
8) Stephen Colbert's super PAC releases its advertisement... supporting the owners. This is a joke, I think...
9) So... at what point does Barack Obama make some sort of comment on the lockout, asks John Karalis of Crossover Chronicles?
10) Josh Selby was once the top high school prospect in the nation. After an up-and-down career at Kansas, Memphis took Selby in the second round. But with the lockout, Selby and several other rookies are in limbo waiting for a chance to play and try to make the team, Ron Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal writes.
11) Like most teams, the Grizzlies are giving similar refund options to season ticket holders. Marcus Privitt of Straight Outta Vancouver asks how last year's playoff run affected Grizzlies fandom.

When "Mets to Acquire Gary Matthews Jr." pops up in your Twitter timeline, you begin to fear the worst. Thoughts collide and doomsday scenarios materialize: Mets trade something of value; Mets take on a chunk of the contract; Mets sign him to an extension with a vesting option. Using those alternatives as a basis for comparison, Brian Stokes for Gary Matthews and $21 million in salary relief seems like a good deal.
But it isn't. And constantly having to judge a transaction in light of the worst possible outcome is probably the most pathetic part of cheering for this poorly run organization. The heart of the matter is that the Mets are going to devote a roster spot, perhaps over the next two seasons, to a replacement-level player. Where it would've been prudent to sign one of the available free agent outfielders, who in this depressed market, will be fortunate to get much more than the salary owed to Matthews, the Mets will instead settle for a two million dollar paperweight.
As Chris stated earlier, "Sarge Lite" neither hits nor fields well, rendering the notion of "Beltran insurance" laughable. Sadly, he was likely targeted because the front office views him as a center fielder. That is, Minaya and company probably popped in MLB The Show 2010, saw "#24 Matthews Jr., CF" and decided that it was more preferable than "#2 Winn, RF" and "#9 Johnson, OF".
Tony Reagins and the Angels organization deserve kudos for recognizing a sunk cost and dealing with it swiftly. Hopefully, the Mets learned something here and will use the same tact to deal Luis Castillo immediately.
I somehow doubt it though.
