(NAPS) - With more than 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 each day, the number of people eligible for Medicare is growing rapidly. Medicare Open Enrollment starts Oct. 15 and runs through Dec. 7, a time when millions of people are evaluating their health plan options to ensure their coverage meets their retirement lifestyle.
When looking at Medicare plans, people check to make sure their physician is included in the plan's network and prescriptions are covered, but it's important to see which unique benefits and perks a plan offers to take full advantage of the program. There is much more than standard health care available.
Medicare plans can offer benefits including a free gym or fitness facility membership through programs such as SilverSneakers, the nation's leading community fitness program designed specifically for older Americans. Exercise is key to helping people live their best lives as they age, maximizing their health and well-being to maintain an active lifestyle. No matter a person's goal—from running a marathon for the first time to keeping up with grandkids—SilverSneakers members enjoy the many benefits of the program, including:
• Membership to more than 14,000 fitness locations: SilverSneakers members have unrestricted access and unlimited visits to every fitness and wellness facility in the national network, including each location's basic amenities, such as weights, treadmills, pools and more.
• Specialized fitness classes: SilverSneakers offers a variety of classes in partnering locations that are designed to accommodate all fitness levels and interests. Led by certified SilverSneakers fitness instructors, classes range from SilverSneakers Classic and Splash, to SilverSneakers BOOM®, a fast-paced, higher-intensity class designed for baby boomers and active older adults.
• Friendship and community: So much more than an exercise program, SilverSneakers helps foster new friendships with a welcoming and supportive member community that becomes one of close friends.
• Quality of life: The program changes lives by engaging participants in physical activity to help them do more of what they love. In fact, 91 percent of members say SilverSneakers has improved their quality of life.
More than 14.5 million people are eligible for this program offered at no additional charge through the nation's leading Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and group retiree plans. You can check your Medicare plan to see if you are eligible for the program and claim your free fitness membership at www.silversneakers.com.
(NewsUSA) - Even some Sunday school teachers are subject to it. So why are Uber and Lyft so averse to having their drivers fingerprinted that they just suspended service in a major U.S. city?
Fingerprints are widely considered the best way to weed out criminals, but checking them costs more than the simple name-based background reviews the app-based ride-hailing companies have fought hard to continue using across the country.
So a few months after the City Council in Austin, Texas, voted last December to require them anyway for public safety reasons, Uber and Lyft spent $8.6 million on a campaign blitz -- described as full of "dicey misdirections" in the city's largest newspaper -- to get voters to overturn the regulations.
It wasn't even close.
By a margin of 56 percent to 44 percent, voters said: Hell, yes, we want your drivers fingerprinted, just like cabbies and limousine drivers are.
And why wouldn't they? Consider the following:
Ride-hailing drivers have been accused of a string of rapes, murders and other crimes across the nation.
Uber agreed in April to pay as much as $25 million to settle a lawsuit in California that accused it of misleading customers about the strength of its background checks on drivers. "Laws designed to protect consumers cannot be ignored," San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon declared.
What makes the Austin vote all the more amazing is that people went to the polls knowing that Uber and Lyft had threatened to pull out if the rules weren't loosened.
"The threat brings to mind what was, for my generation, a famous (humor) magazine image," an Austin American-Statesman reporter wrote, referring to a 1973 National Lampoon cover of a man pointing a gun at a cute little dog's head. "'If You Don't Buy This Magazine, We'll Kill This Dog,'" the headline said.
"Lyft and Uber told Austin, essentially, pass our (favored) regulations or we'll kill your dog."
The "dog," in Austin's case, the reporter went on to clarify, being their customers and as many as 15,000 (at least temporarily out-of-work) drivers.
Public safety advocates are hoping the Austin vote marks a turning point in the ongoing effort to get the Ubers of the world to play by the same rules as everyone else.
"Until all municipalities require suitable background checks for drivers of these ride-hailing services, we fear continued disastrous consequences as a result of digital hitchhiking," said Scott Solombrino, co-founder of the National Limousine Association (www.Limo.org).
Meanwhile, Austin Mayor Steve Adler has offered to return to the bargaining table to negotiate a compromise, and both Uber and Lyft are urging Austinites to contact their City Council members if they want the services to resume.
And, oh, yes, at least one small, start-up ride-hailing company named GetMe -- apparently sensing an exploitable opening -- has said it has no problem complying with the fingerprinting requirement.
(BPT) - Have you ever wondered what's in one of your favorite packaged foods, grabbed the box from your pantry, read the ingredients list ... and realized you still didn't know what you were eating? The ingredients in some processed foods can read like a chemist's shopping list. Now imagine if your backyard birds could read. What would they say about the ingredients in the food you feed them?
A growing number of Americans are choosing natural foods for their pets; nearly a third say they prefer natural products, according to PetFoodIndustry.com. People who feed wild birds care about them just as much as their four-legged pets and want to know they're feeding their backyard birds the most natural and nutritious options available. It's hard to feel that confidence when reading the mystifying ingredient list on the feed bag makes you feel like a bird brain.
The wild bird experts at Cole's Wild Bird Products Co. offer some tips for ensuring you're feeding your feathered friends a healthy, natural diet that they'll appreciate:
Avoid seed blends that are full of cheap fillers, like oats and red milo. Fillers not only lack nutritional value; birds will kick them right out of the feeder. Select natural feed comprised of top-of-the-crop seeds and pass by seed coated with chemicals and mineral oil.
Take note of ingredients you can't read, often it's an indication the ingredient is a synthetic or lab engineered. Ingredients like Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex and Thiamine Mononitrate aren't found in natural food, they're man-made versions of vitamins. Since wild birds normally get all their vitamins and nutrients from natural sources, adding a synthetic version is questionable at best. The rule of thumb for buying all natural is if you can't read it, don't feed it!
Focus on serving feed with an ingredient list you can read and understand. For example, Cole's Sunflower Meats contains nothing but shelled sunflower seeds. Easy, right? It's a favorite feed to a wide range of backyard birds, too.
Either get to know the types of birds visiting your feeder and research feed they prefer, or buy feed from a reputable company who has already done that work for you. Cole's offers select natural seed choices developed and based on factual research about what birds really eat. Feed is specifically formulated to attract certain species of birds as well as the largest number of birds, too. When you know and serve what your backyard birds prefer, you'll keep them coming back to your feeders.
Feel free to supplement seed and feed with natural food you already have at home. For example, jays and woodpeckers love raw peanuts, while mockingbirds and orioles love fruit, and chickadees, blue jays and cardinals savor suet. Soak raisins and currants in water overnight, then place them on a table feeder, or purchase blends with a dried fruit and nut mixture, like Nutberry Suet Blend. To attract orioles and tanagers, skewer halved oranges onto a spike near your feeders for a special treat.
Don't forget the importance of the right type of feeder. Dish and bowl feeders are great for serving fruits, while most birds will appreciate a terrific tube feeder for seeds both large and small. Traditional tube feeders are great all-purpose feeders, and a must-have for backyard bird feeding.
Buy feed from companies who specialize in wild bird food. Some companies offer bird feed as a side product to their main business of pet products or grass seed. Cole's exclusively produces and sells products for feeding backyard birds.

(BPT) - She's spent years taking care of you, whether it was mending your first broken heart, helping you pack and move for college, or moving in to help take care of your first child. Mom has always been around to help. For all the times she's been there for you, now is the time to be there for her. This Mother's Day, plan the perfect day to show mom just how thankful you are.
Plan a day together. Set aside all other plans and treat your mom to a day filled with her favorite people, places and things. Whether it's a day spent indoors playing games or reminiscing, or grabbing the extended family and heading to her favorite park, lake or ocean for a picnic, simply sharing in these moments is sure to bring your mom joy and delight.
Host an afternoon tea. While breakfast in bed may have been your Mother's Day tradition growing up, perhaps it's time for something new. This year, treat mom to a relaxing and indulgent afternoon tea filled with delicious treats like these Lavender Buttermilk Scones.
8 ounces self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 ounces unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, plus extra for greasing
3 ounces lavender-flavored sugar, sifted if preferred (see Cook's Tip below)
1 pint buttermilk, plus extra for brushing
Your choice of Bonne Maman Preserves
Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the lavender sugar (sifted if preferred) and a pinch of salt and make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk and mix to combine, making a soft dough.
Briefly knead the dough on a floured surface, then lightly roll out to about 3/4-inch thick. Cut scones with a 2-inch pastry cutter and place on a greased baking sheet.
Brush the top of each scone with a little extra buttermilk and bake for 12–15 minutes, until lightly browned on the top. Cool on a wire rack, dust lightly with flour and serve with your favorite choice of Bonne Maman preserves.
Cook's tips:
To make lavender-flavored sugar, push 2–3 small washed and dried sprigs of fresh lavender into a jar of caster sugar. Leave for at least 24 hours before using.
Brushing the scones with beaten egg before baking will give them a shiny golden top.
Give Mom a well deserved day off. Even after a perfect day spent with loved ones, sometimes all mom really wants is a day to herself doing whatever she pleases. While you may not be able to give her just that, Bonne Maman, maker of 100 percent natural preserves and jellies, is here to help through the Share The Love national sweepstakes. Mom can enter for a chance to win a $4,500 day off to spend doing whatever she'd like, plus she can download a $2 off coupon for her next Bonne Maman purchase.

(BPT) - Do you know what to do with that old computer monitor sitting in storage? What should you do with a retired PC or tablet? If the items cluttering your home were newsprint, plastic bottles or aluminum cans, you would know exactly what to do with them - recycle! But if you're unsure how to recycle technology, you're not alone.
Nearly 80 percent of American households have old technology sitting around, according to a recent survey by Staples. Most people with old, unused tech devices have one to five pieces they'd like to get rid of, but less than half know how to recycle it, the survey found.
"You make a lot of changes when you're trying to live a greener lifestyle, from recycling all the plastics your family uses to choosing more energy-efficient appliances," says Toni Hammersley, blogger at A Bowl Full of Lemons. "Fortunately, you can also green your digital life by recycling old technology you no longer use. Staples will take a slew of your old and unused technology products right in-store for free to help you responsibly and easily recycle."
Recycling technology is good for the environment,the EPA says. Valuable resources like metals, plastics and glass can be reused; every 1 million cellphones recycled yield 35,000 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold and 33 pounds of palladium, according to the EPA. What's more, recycling or donating electronics reduces consumption of natural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, and air and water pollution associated with making new materials.
Hammersley, an organizational expert, offers some tips for recycling tech:
You can recycle old office technology that no longer works for free by taking them into your local Staples. The store will accept the computers, monitors, printers and numerous other types of electronics for recycling - free of charge. For more information on the program and a list of tech items that can be accepted into the free recycling program, visit Staples online.
You can also trade in eligible technology to receive a Staples eCash card that you can use toward your next in-store or online purchase. The laptop that's too slow for your gaming activities might qualify for a trade in and get a gift card to put toward new technology or anything else you need within the store.
Equipment that still works can also be donated. Goodwill accepts technology items for repair and recycling and schools, churches, charities and other community organizations in your area may accept older tech that's still usable. You can also find computer donation organizations with a simple online search. Before you donate any piece of technology, be sure that the organization can use it and you won't burden them with items they might have to recycle. Also be sure to delete all your personal information, including files, documents and apps that may contain personal information. Staples provides this service in stores through their Tech Services.
"Clutter of any kind can stand in the way of organization at home or in the office," Hammersley says. "Recycling is one of the most efficient, cost-effective and environmentally responsible ways to get rid of any kind of clutter - including old technology."
(NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - If choosing the right Mother's Day gift has been your biggest challenge over the years, try taking a cue from mom herself.
Millions of dollars have been spent researching and/or polling what moms desire most, so use it to your advantage! Thank mom, a mother figure or wife for all that she does -- from giving you style advice to motivating you when you needed it most -- celebrate your unique bond with a gift she will celebrate for many years to come.
Mom has always been there when you needed it, and she deserves the best. Below are a few ways to treat her on Mother's Day:
Handwritten Letter. Showing your appreciation for mom with a handwritten note takes time and thought, and she'll recognize this. Remember all of the moments that mean the most to you and express your gratitude in a way that is unique to the bond you share. It will be a letter she'll cherish.
Time to Unwind. A thoughtful way to thank mom for all she does is to give a gift that helps alleviate her busy schedule so she can relax. Whether giving a spa package or simply cleaning the home, research has shown that moms expressed wanting to have time to themselves as a top Mother's Day gift.
Create Unexpected Wrapping Paper. Because mom wants a thoughtful gift, why not put extra care into how you wrap it? A unique way to showcase the special bond you share is to create custom wrapping paper decorated with photos of the two of you at different stages of your life.
Jewelry. Research has shown that jewelry is one of the best-received gifts on Mother's Day. The question then becomes which jewelry to choose for the one-of-a-kind woman in your life.
Country singer Jessie James Decker and wife to football player Eric Decker, has her own personal favorite: "I'm a huge fan of PANDORA Jewelry," says Jessie, herself a mother of two. "Their handcrafted pieces are so customizable that you can have fun stacking and layering them to wear every day or on special occasions. On the top of my wish list at the moment are the Sparkling Love Knots earrings and Sparkling Love Knot Pendant, which can be styled on one of PANDORA's .925 sterling silver or 14K gold necklace chains."
PANDORA Jewelry (Pandora.net) released a special Mother's Day collection of 14K gold and .925 sterling silver rings, bracelets, necklaces, charms and earrings with whimsical blooms, symbolic knots and love-filled hearts sure to be on mom's "most wanted" list.
Whether the woman in your life is modest or tuned into the latest trends, she deserves a gift that makes her feel as special as she actually is. So this Mother's Day put some thought into it and give her something she'll actually want to keep.
(NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - No matter who you are or what business you are in, you're vulnerable to a cyber attack. That's the unfortunate reality of the times we live in.
Think you're immune? There are millions of cyberattacks in the United States every year, with big companies like Home Depot, Adobe Systems, Sony, Citigroup, Target, Facebook, Evernote and The New York Times taking the biggest hits and falling victim.
And like Fortune 500 companies that seemingly have the resources to battle data breaches, small businesses are just as exposed, if not more so. According to a Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report more than 70 percent of the businesses in the study that were breached had fewer than 100 employees. Those breaches result in huge losses. Trend Micro found that "cybercriminals steal as much as $1 billion a year from SMBs in the United States and Europe, alone."
Which begs the question: If both large and small companies and the U.S. government can be compromised (even with security protocols in place), then what does that mean for individuals?
It's a question that Dr. Robert Short, chief technology officer and chief technical scientist of VirnetX, struggled with and finally answered in the form of Gabriel, a set of secure encrypted communication apps derived from a CIA-sponsored Department of Defense project.
"The genesis of Gabriel really was trying to solve the problem of how you make security transparent to the user. The means to automatically create a secure connection whenever a secure connection is needed to wherever it is needed, and create it on demand," says Short. "That has always been the vision behind Gabriel."
The difference between Gabriel and other products, says Short, is that users do not have to transmit data to or store data with any third party, including VirnetX. In this way, data is stored only on their own devices. Essentially, users maintain control of their own data.
Gabriel users also have secure, encrypted (spamless) email, text messages, free voice and video calls and picture or file share with other trusted Gabriel users in their network -- all directly from their personal device.
Gabriel runs on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac OSX. For more information or to download Gabriel go to www.gabrielsecure.com, the App Store or the Google Play store.

FRISCO, TX: The Museum of the American Railroad has taken delivery of the track material to be used in the Phase 1 construction project at its new facility in Frisco, Texas. Some 12,000 feet of rail has been delivered to the site by Trac-Work, Incorporated, the winning bidder for the initial Phase 1A track construction. (Click to View Initial Track Construction Plan) The rail was removed from a line near San Angelo, Texas known as the "Orient Line." Most of the rail dates back to the 1920s and is still in excellent condition.
Known as "re-lay rail," the 340 pieces, weighing 90 lbs. per yard, and averaging 39 feet in length will be reused to construct all of the Museum's Phase 1 trackage. Recycling of rail materials is not uncommon in the industry where yard trackage and repairs to lightly traveled branch lines do not require new rail. The re-lay rail is ideal for the Museum's new facilities, and takes advantage of existing materials without using new resources.
For more detailed plans of the Museum's construction project in Frisco, click to view Site Plan.
The Museum of the American Railroad is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit Texas Corporation chartered in 1962. The Museum is dedicated to the preservation of the nation's railroad heritage through entertaining and educational programs.

Review written by Deathstalker.
Guy (Former Mr. Madonna) Ritchie directs this newest film based on the titular character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Well, I watched this movie today. I am coming down with bronchitis so I was not feeling that great and it took away quite a bit of the enjoyment I might have gotten from this film. With that said, I will as always review the film as objectively and fairly as possible. (more…)

MCAT or Medical College Admission Test is an entrance test designed to assess the capabilities of a student for the purpose of admission into a medical course. The test is recognized by nearly all the medical colleges in the US and Canada. It is a standardized test, which tests if the students are capable for medical academic field, or not. Every student does not have the aptitude and capability of practicing medicine. To pursue a career in medicine you require specific skills. Most of these skills are acquired in your lower grades. Along with your knowledge of science, it tests your verbal skills and reasoning abilities.
The responsibility of developing and conducting the test is that of the Association of American Medical Colleges. This is a non-profit organization that is committed to serve the medical schools in order to ensure better health for all. Since 2007 the test has been made computer-based which makes it possible to offer the test numerous times in a year along with making it shorter than before. Basic skills required to operate a computer are enough to appear in the test.
Importance of Conducting MCAT
Conducting MCAT becomes important as it is a standardized test for students coming from all walks of life. There are a number of students aspiring for medical studies. Each has a different level of intelligence. Also the seats available in a medical college are limited as compared to the number of students applying for them. That is why it becomes essential for medical colleges to become selective. They require a criterion where all the students can be put on a single scale and judged in the same light. MCAT is such a testing method where you get a score according to your performance in the test. This score becomes the index of your intelligence. A student getting a high score in the test is considered deserving whereas the one getting a low score may be rejected.
For students this test is a means of approaching various medical colleges. It is a single test that makes them eligible for admission in almost all colleges. They can send their score to various colleges in order to apply for admissions in them. This test is therefore very useful to colleges as well as students.
Structure of MCAT
MCAT is about a 5-hour long test. It is offered 22 times in a year on 19 different test days. It can be conducted in the morning or in the evening while on some days it can be conducted, both, in the morning as well as in the evening.
The test basically consists of multiple-choice questions with a couple of essay writing questions. It is divided into 4 sections, which are as follows:
- Physical Science,
- Verbal Reasoning,
- Writing Sample and
- Biological Sciences.
The Physical Science section consists of 52 multiple-choice questions. Students are given 70 minutes to complete this section. This is the first section to be administered. You are tested for your knowledge in physics and chemistry. You knowledge of physics should be updated by proper understanding of thermodynamics, nuclear physics, light and optics, Newton's concepts etc. In questions based on chemistry you could be tested for your knowledge of acids and bases, periodic table, bonding, states of matter etc. The questions are designed in such a way that the understanding of your concepts is tested.
The next section administered is that of Verbal Reasoning. It is a 60 minutes long test with 40 multiple-choice questions to be attempted. This section tests your ability to understand the given passages based on different subjects. You are required to answer the questions based on these passages. This section analyses your reasoning and understanding of the concept.
The Writing Sample is the third section to be conducted. It consists of 2 essay-writing questions to be completed in 30 minutes each, therefore making it a 60-minutes long section. In this section you are tested for your language and expression. You are given a set of statements and are asked to write an essay in your own words to develop the thought. You can give your own views and support it with examples and reasoning.
This is the last section to be administered. This section is again a 70-minutes test with 52 multiple-choice questions asked in it. This section requires your understanding organic chemistry and biology. You are given passage-based questions as well as independent questions.
Note: You are given a choice of taking a 10 minutes break three times during the test.

College, Sem
Redecorating was done in the
college and seminary buildings as
well as the dormitories.
In the college building the sec-ond
floor has been redone with new
light fixtures installed. The col-lege
office has been rebuilt, en-larging
the offices of Edna Schultz,
executive secretary, and Dean Lar-son.
In the Seminary, the former
dormitory floor is renovated with
new offices for the faculty. Dean
Omark, his secretary, and the new
registrar have new offices at the
south end of the building. A new
lounge is located in the basement
in place of the laundry and storage
Unfortunately for those privi-leged
to live in the new wings of
the dormitories, the joy is some-what
belated. The charge for the
delay in completion of the' build-ings
is directed to the steel strike
of last year.
Unofficial word indicates that
the work in the girl's dorm is ex-pected
to be finished in about two
weeks and in the boys' dorm short-ly
Meanwhile, as the dining hall
and the dorms are being complet-ed,
temporary eating accomoda-tions
have been set up on the fair
grounds. Interim housing for the
men has been arranged by install-ing
extra bunks in the present
rooms and in the library and Ed-gren
basement. Similar arrange-ments
have been made for the wo-men.
Although some inconvenience
is created, hopes are high for those
who will live in the new wings.
Another project being carried
on is the rebuilding of the boiler
plant. The building will house a
new boiler which should produce
adequate heat for the present
Two part time teachers from
local high schools have been em-ployed
to teach special methods
courses in education. Teaching
Special Methods in History and
Social Studies will be Dr. Roy

Approximately 475 - 500 had enrolled in all college classes by Tues-day
evening, according to an unofficial report from the college office.
This figure is comparable to the number of students registering
last year which was officially 498.
Although the breakdown into class is not complete, Clifford Lar-son,
dean of college, stated that the proportion is roughly the same.
There were about 225 freshmen who registered last year.
An increasing number of juniors have transferred from other four
year colleges to complete their courses of study at Bethel, Dean Larson
He expressed his delight with the quality of students this year,
especially the ability of the incoming class, as shown by the leadership,
apptitude, and reference forms.
Last year the enrollment had in-creased
approximately 12 per cent
over the 428 enrollment in 1955.
Official registration figures will
be released by the college office
in three weeks.

Bethel Welcomes You
by Jack Tierney
"Welcome to Bethel." If you haven't heard that phrase enough al-ready
I am sure you will. I hope it does not impress you as something
trite and glibly stated. It certainly is not meant to be. For let us ask
ourselves what is involved when we say "Welcome to Bethel."
Are we welcoming you just to pit your speed and craftiness against
the motorist on Snelling Ave. in an attempt to get a morsel of food ?
Are we welcoming you to vast acres of shade covered lawns with little
babbling brooks called Bethel campus ? Are we welcoming you to the
piles of plaster dust in the unfinished dormitory additions ? Quite
obviously the answer would be no. These things may or may not exist
but when we say welcome it is not to these things. Rather we would
welcome you to self-realization.
As important as Bethel's physical appearance, scholastic rating,
athletic prowess, religious, cultural and social development may be,
it is only of value when you put it to use. Bethel is not just two
square blocks or seven buildings. It is not just literature, history or
science. It is not just gospel teams or football games. It is in a sense,
you. It is your opportunity to use provided facilities to increase your
intellectual capacities, contemplate and develop your Christian life, par-ticipate
in intercollegiate and intramural sports, and have a direct
hand in the governmental policies for the student body. In essence you
have the potential to develop and train yourself to become the best.
Again, welcome to Bethel. We sincerely hope that this year will
contain experiences for you that will be of great profit in all areas of
your development as you strive for a successful and victorious life.
CLARION Purpose Stated
Bethel is an organization of people with ideas and emotions. Be-cause
men trusted in God and worked in foregoing years, Bethel has
developed into the institution that it is today. We respect and love
its ideals and hopes.
No one though will defend Bethel as perfect yet. Students, staff,
faculty, administration, organizations, programs, ideas, ambitions, etc.
are all subject to human imperfection. To recognize this is the first
step toward betterment and truth.
Editorial columns are a vital part of any newspaper. It is in these
columns that facts and interpretation of these facts are given. Opin-ions
and ideas are added to give the facts meaning and importance to
the reader. The editorial writer's purpose, of course, is to persuade
readers to his opinions and at times to stimulate action. To do this
well and honestly, his reason must be keen, his insight discerning, and
his intentions directed to a positive good.
An editorial can be harmful if its only purpose is to ferret out
insignificant mistakes for sensational expose. But it is a useless tool
if it vainly babbles and ignores the serious problems of the institu-tion.
The editorial column can serve a positive good in not only pointing
to the truth but by showing ways of obtaining it.
The purpose of the CLARION as with any other paper is to report
the news in as clear and honest a way possible. Yet news coverage is
only a part of our task. We want to serve Bethel as a newspaper should
in our editorial column. We beg, that in this new year, that you, our
reader, will dismiss any prejudices that might have arisen in the past
and bear patiently with us as we try to direct the CLARION as a
positive force in making Bethel still better.
1116_,T FIND WS A LOT EASIER TO GET GATES NOW THATI HAVE A col
"Bethel, the House of God."
This, perhaps more than any
other factor, made us choose Bethel
for our liberal arts education.
As entering freshmen, we ex-pected
everyone on campus to be
"spiritual" Christians and hoped
for our life to be one continuous
"mountain top" experience.
Many of us were more than a
little disappointed to find out that
the people here are no different
than those we had always known.
There were a few like our pastor,
who lived the spiritual life we
just never seemed to be able to
live, but the majority were the
ordinary struggling-Christian type
we had left at home.
Disillusioned we slipped back
into the rut we were hoping to
avoid by coming to Bethel.
Almost accidentally we discov-ered
a few individuals with a fresh
approach to Christianity—a reali-zation
that although God is con-stant,
each individual's experience
with God is different.
A speaker evokes different res-ponses
from his audience when he
uses an emotionally loaded word
such as "mother" because of the
diverse backgrounds of the indivi-duals
in the audience. In much the
same way, people respond to God
differently because of their indivi-dual
Realizing that our previous at-tempt
at knowing God had been
made by means of the experiences
of others—our pastor's, our Sun-day
School teacher's, our parent's,
our coming year at Bethel can be
be a year in which we end our
vicarious experience and begin a
vital knowledge of God.
We as young people have come
to college to live independently
of other people's experience in our
temporal life. Knowing that we
are individuals and that God is a
personal God, let us strive for in-dividuality
in our spiritual lives.

Even after the resurrection Peter was still too concerned about
the advances of his companion disciples. The remnants of jealousy
continued to gnaw within his breast. Jesus cut him short, in effect,
with a "mind your own business". I'm taking care of John and the
others. Your business is to follow me".
Jesus' advice to Peter can be a help to us. We live together at
Bethel in a somewhat closely knit community. More than that we are
in constant competition, consciously or not. Whether in the classroom,
on the athletic field, in the dorms, or in social relationships, we are
all involved in some kind of competition. In one sense this is healthy and
can be used to hammer out the best that is in us. On the other hand
it can easily lead to all kinds of fears, complexes, envyings and even
hatreds. Tragic though it is, our opportunities at Bethel can become
Within reasonable limits, then, Jesus' advice to us is, "Mind your
own business." While always being eager to help another student, we
should at the same time leave everyone else to follow his intended
path and then concentrate on our particular tasks. Our goals should be
in line with our abilities. We should beat towards those goals regardless
of the success or failures of others. Each of us should follow our Christ,
not the next man's. In this way we can avoid fears (of another's suc-cesses),
uproot complexes and avoid jealousies. We can follow Christ
with single-mindedness.
"Art thou little, do thy little well,
And for thy comfort know,
The biggest man can do his biggest work
No better than just so."
It Happens Every Fall
by Al Hubin
"Man the lifeboats — the freshmen are coming!"
This terrible cry heralds the end of another fine summer, and
the beginning of yet another freshmen invasion of Bethel. No longer
will the hallowed halls breathe with the quiet, pious, reverent whisper
of intelligent upperclassmen and partially indoctrinated freshmen.
No longer will common sense and justice reign. No longer will one
be able to think. And worst of all, no longer will one be able to play
There will be freshmen everywhere — millions of them. Crawling,
jumping, creeping, slithering, galloping over every inch of the premises,
they will leave no gravestone unturned, no temper unriled, no head
unached. They will tackle the ping-pong tables with practiced vicious-ness,
every one of them. No matter how clumsy, each one will patiently
wait in line to flail wildly at a bit of celluloid but dimly seen, and
long will be remembered the wreckage thereof.
The chow line will be a jungle of horned-rim glasses, and myriads
of name cards pointing out that Joe Whothefrightisky is proudly from
Spot ?in-the-mul, Siberia. There will be what must be more than two
feet per, and the number of malignantly blank countenances will be
astounding. This collection will extend all over the women's dorm,
making it impossible for civilized people to eat. And even worse, when
one wishes to join friends at the head of the line, there will be diverse
exquisitely sharp elbows with freshmen on the other end to discourage
Furthermore, when one is in a hurry to get to a class he is already
late for, there will be dozens of freshmen standing by, with faces even
blanker than normal, to inquire at length where such and such a class
is to be found, and why it isn't in a more sensible place. When this
has all been patiently rehashed many times, said freshmen will want
to know, a.) what time it is (back home on the farm we went by the
sun) b.) when do we eat (I'm hongry) and c.) why are you standing
here blocking the aisles. And all the while they're implying that some-how
you're enormously at fault everywhere.
Even worse is the little fellow with the "please, sir, where is my
mother" expression on his sad, small face, and equipped with a built-in
twitch. This one will pull nervously at your sleeve, and with a far-away,
shy, squeaky falsetto inquire as to the whereabouts of the lava-tory.
He will wear incredibly thick glasses which are practically opaque
and which he will be continually cleaning. He will submit to every
sophomore instigated indignity with nary a bleat, and he'll trudge
about the campus like a fellow carrying his household furniture on his
back. He looks to be about twelve.
Dorm life will be a small taste of fire and brimstone. An incredi-ble
racket will roll like waves about the halls, and in Edgren, Mr.
Walfred Peterson will be seen tearing out his already shortened hair
in huge bundles. At 11 p.m. the noise will increase a few thou-sand
decibels- and the following will be seen to occur in this order:
1. Upperclassmen looking wild-eyed, will streak to their rooms, and
begin soundproofing operations. 2. Any upperclassman sufficiently bless-ed
to be rooming with a freshman will commit suicide. 3. Mr. Peterson
will move his family to distant quarters with hitherto unimagined
velocity. There will be exceedingly much weeping and gnashing of
This may seem to be a bleak and dismal picture that's been painted
above. In fact, it may seem downright unliveable. (It is.) Well, I don't
give a hoot in a green beanie how bad it is. You see, I'm not attending
Bethel this year. I'm going to Wheaton where there are no freshmen.

Jessup's Sport Jottings Royals Drop Opener
"Even though we lost 19-12, it was a good first game. We made
a lot of mistakes, but considering that it was our first showing and
we had only a few practices, the team did fairly well". These were
Coach Lynn Lundin's comments after the Royals dropped a 19-12
game to Hibbing on the Ramsey High School field last Saturday.
Lundin also commented, "Barring injuries and other unforeseen develop-ments,
Bethel should have a much stronger team than last year."
The Hibbing coach said last Saturday that his team was much
stronger this year than last. Considering this and the fact that Hibbing
blanked the Royals 13-0 in their opener last year, it seems indicative
that Bethel's squad must be much improved. Northland, Bethel's
opponent this Saturday, spoiled last year's Homecoming games 35-6. —
"Fritz" Fredrickson is the Bethel line coach again this year. All
1957 home games (with the exception of homecoming) will be played
at Ramsey. This is a big improvement over Highland Park. Still
missing and much needed at home games are a public address system,
concession stand, and pep band.
Watch for Denver to win the American Association playoffs and
play in the Junior World Series. — Minnesota University should take
a trip to the Rose Bowl January 1. Led by Bobby Cox, who's been ac-claimed
All-American in pre-season selections, and with lettermen re-turning
in every position, the Gophers should squeeze by Michigan,
Iowa, and Michigan State to capture first in the Big Ten and rank high
nationally. We'll pick ever-powerful Oklahoma as national champs. —
If it's a Braves - Yankes World Series, it will be the Yanks in seven
games, but don't rule the Cardinals out of the National League pennant
yet. If they overtake Milwaukee, the Redbirds should take the Series.
Coach Lundin Says
Gridmen Have Potential
Out to better last year's disappointing Bethel grid season are 31
Royals who, according to Coach Lynn Lundin, have more "raw poten-tial"
than any other Bethel team in the last few years. Last year the
Royals won only one game — that by a score of 39-0 over Sioux Falls
College — and dropped six.
Twelve returning gridders increase the prospects of a more suc-cessful
1957 record. Led by Bruce Erickson, captain and quarterback
of the team, the lettermen include linesmen Dave Davies, Art Erickson,
Stu Luckman, Denny Nerstad,
Howie Rekstad, Joel Stolte, and
backs Jim Jackson, Rich Samuel-son,
Don Sension, Dennis Sundeen,
and Clyde Thomas.
Newcomers and freshmen in-clude
linesmen Bob ,Brister, Neil
Christenson, Sid Duren, Don John-son

backs are Ray Fahlen, Bill Hum-phries,

Athletic Council Plans
For Coming Season
by R. D. Johnson
The athletic council has been extremely busy these past few days
planning a myriad of activities for the school year, particularly the
already begun (somewhat unsuccessfully) football season.
'Cheerleading is the biggest item on the calendar at the present time
stated council head Bob Johnson.
"Turnouts will be held the last
of this week and are open to all
who would like to try. We are
greatly interested in promoting
school spirit this year and the
council is therefore concerned that
the most qualified leadership pos-sible
will be obtained," continued
Mr. Johnson.
Further plans for the athletic
council are to reorganize the intra-mural
program and to attempt to
expand the area of women's sports.
Better advertising of games as
well as the creation of pep clubs
and bands are slated in hopes of
increasing student interest and
participation in athletics.

Hibbing Gains
1 9-1 2 Victory
Over Bethel
by Dennis Johnson
Hibbing Junior College ground
out a 19-12 victory over the Bethel
Royals last Saturday afternoon at
Alexander Ramsey high school
Although the loss drenched the
hopes of Bethel winning their
opening game, the contest proved
interesting to the onlookers, most
of whom were registering fresh-men.
Hibbing began the afternoon by
recovering a costly fumble by the
Bethel backfield in their own end
zone. The extra point attempt was
missed. Bethel tied the game at
6-6 as Rich Samuelson, favored
with key downfield blocking,
caught a nine yard pass and romp-ed
46 yards to paydirt. Pat Ros-atti,
Hibbing's quarterback, tal-lied
a second quarter touchdown
on a 38 yard naked reverse run
around left end. Sogard kicked
the extra point to put Hibbing
ahead to stay. The Royals ended
the first half scoring as Bill
Humphries, 150 pound back from
Mound, Minnesota, went over on
a one yard plunge. The conversion
was no good, leaving the half time
score 13-12. Hibbing accounted for
the only second half scoring with
one third quarter TD on a 19 yard
running play.
Defensively, the Royals looked
sharp on some occasions as guard
Ron Nelson and veteran line -
backer Denny Sundeen shot
through the Hibbing line. How-ever,
the Hibbing backs marked
up a total of 226 net yards gain-ed.
Lundin's men gained 94 yards
by the air and a scant 62 on the
With more experience and prac-tice,
the Royals should improve
in their remaining seven games.
Considering the few full practices
the Royals had last week, Coaches
Lundin and Fredrickson have done
a noteworthy job with the blue
and gold squad.

Dalton Granted
Ph.D. In History
Associate professor of history,
Roy Dalton, was granted his Ph.D.
in history from the University of
Minnesota at the commencement,
July 18.
Dr. Roy Dalton
Dr. Dalton, in writing his thesis,
History of the Jesuit Estates,
1763-1888, spent three years in the
research and development of his
topic. Two of these summers were
spent in intensive study of the
public archives in Ottawa, Canada.
A great deal of the material was
taken from microfilm.
Receiving his B.A. from Bethel
in 1949, Dr. Dalton attended the
University of Minnesota graduate
school. Here he earned his M.A.
in 1950 and did his doctoral work.
In 1950 while still attending the
University, Professor Dalton start-ed
teaching at Bethel.
"My undergraduate work at
Bethel gave me more than ade-quate
background for graduate
studies", Dr. Dalton emphasized.
Four new majors are open to
Bethel students this year.
A B.A. in Christianity, parallel
to the B.A. in religion in other
colleges, includes studies in Bible
and areas of special Christian
significance, Clifford Larson, dean
of the college, stated. He added
that the purpose of this major is
"to provide a major for someone
who wants to concentrate on Bible
or get more specific college train-ing
for seminary work."
For students interested in re-search
or teaching, a major is be-ing
offered in the field of biologi-cal
A major is also offered in chem-istry
for those interested in teach-ing
chemistry and physical science
or for a broader natural science
area including both physical and
biological science.
In addition to the regular soci-ology
major, a major in the field
of social work has been developed.
Religious education work is now
being integrated into the educa-tion
department but is also a major
toward a degree.
Spire Staff
Announcing the staff for the
'58 Spire, co-editors Pat Nichols,
senior, and Evan Rogers, junior,
state that "we feel we have an
excellent hard working staff, but
we are still looking for interested,
qualified freshmen to work on the

Otterness, business manager;
Bob Carlson, photo editor and sem-inary
representative; Bob Fred-rickson,
art and layout editor;
Joel Stolte, sports editor; Lor-raine

The Spire staff would like an
underclassman to work as an as-sistant

anyone interested in this position
to contact Pat or Evan.

Frosh Return Home
by Lynn Weaver
Tuesday night four busloads of
screaming green freshmen invaded
the campus scattering hapless up-per-
classmen here and there. As
they met old friends they told of
their three-day stand at Big Trout
The retreat, an annual part of
Freshmen Week, began with a de-votional
during which Gene John-son
created in chalk the head of
Christ and Roy Brottlund present-ed
in monologue, "Barabas."
Choosing from nearly one-hun-dred
sturdy freshmen, "The Un-
Organized Nine" beat the coun-selors
baseball team 13-9, which
by the way, was chosen from the
eleven upper classmen who attend-ed
the retreat.
The testimonies at the campfire
out on the point revealed the often
strange ways in which God leads
students to Bethel, and also evi-denced
the potential for the class
of '61.
President Lundquist and Deans
Larson and Anderson brought to
the retreat valuable insights into
Bethel, its "Standards and Heri-tage,"
"Purpose as a liberal arts
college", and "Student Affairs",

You are maybe seeing this page because you did not customize the page_front_page wiki config setting yet.
So just read the text below, decide which way you want to go and change your configuration.
For the impatient:
# choose this, if most wiki content is in a single language page_front_page = u"MyStartingPage"
# choose this, if wiki content is maintained in many languages page_front_page = u"FrontPage"
If you go the single language way, you can copy some of the content of FrontPage to the page you choose as your page_front_page.
If you go the many language way, don't forget editing all translations of FrontPage.
If you go the many languages way, people reaching your wiki will be directed to the front page corresponding to their browser language setting. If you did not prepare that page, they will see the default page for their language and have the impression the wiki is empty or badly maintained.
User interface texts and language_default
MoinMoin tries to adapt the user interface to the language the user prefers.
If the user puts a specific language preference into moin UserPreferences setting, that language will be used for the user interface. But the user doesn't even need to do that if he already has configured his browser with his language preferences.
If there is no specific UserPreferences language setting, moin tries to adapt to the languages the user configured in his browser. So if the browser tells moin that its preference is Canadian English, then German, then English in general and moin has German and English available (but not a specific configuration for Canadian English), then the user will get a German user interface.
If there is no common language in the user's browser configuration and in moin or if you have set language_ignore_browser = True, moin will fall back to using what is configured as language_default. This is also the case if the user's browser does not specify any language.
The usual case when you want to set language_ignore_browser = True is when running a local wiki with no international audience and you maintain the wiki in only one (your local) language. Don't forget to specify your one-and-only language using language_default when doing this.
System pages, including FrontPage
The MoinMoin distribution archive contains the system pages (like RecentChanges) in different languages (see SystemPagesGroup), selecting the correct language in the same way as for the user interface.
For example, if the navi_bar contains a link to FrontPage, moin will first look for a translation of FrontPage into the user's language. So if the user's language is German (de), we obtain the German translation of FrontPage, which is StartSeite. (Internally, moin uses MoinMoin/i18n/de.py for that, which is automatically generated out of de.po,) Moin will use StartSeite if that page actually exists; otherwise, it will fall back to using FrontPage.
This is fine if you want to have a FrontPage and translations of it. But what to do if you don't want that?
Either delete any translated page of FrontPage - they will only be used if they exist. Or simply use the page_front_page configuration variable to choose something different from FrontPage as your front page, e.g. MyProject. Moin will then try to look up a translation for MyProject, but usually won't find any - and thus simply use MyProject no matter what language the user prefers.
Built-in vs. user-specified translations
MoinMoin normally uses built-in translation (see MoinMoin/i18n/*) for translating user interface text and system page names in navi_bar.
But there is the possibility to customize navi_bar with your own stuff. Moin has no built-in translation for that usually, so what to do if you want to have them translated the same way as FrontPage usually is?
Simply create some pages like GermanDict, FrenchDict, Simplified_ChineseDict etc. (use the english name of the language) and put a definition list on them which defines the translations for the English terms, e.g. on page GermanDict:
MyProject:: MeinProjekt LatestNews:: NeuesteNachrichten
Moin then will use those dict pages if it can't find the text in its built-in translation dictionaries.
How to specify the page language
It is highly recommended to specify the page language in the page header like this:
#language he
The language name is the iso-639-1 name of the language. Languages that moin does not support are ignored.
This is critical if the wiki contains content in different directions, like Hebrew pages, which should display in right to left direction, and English pages, which should display in left to right direction.
In the past, system pages had a language comment: ##language:en. This comment has no effect, and should be changed to the new #language en format. To repair old pages in your wiki, run scripts.repair_language.py in your wiki data directory. Back up your wiki data directory before doing this!

First impressions are all about putting your best face forward. But with endless eyewear options, it can be overwhelming to know which styles look best on you. Read on to learn how to determine your face shape and which eyeglass frames flatter your features.
Find Your Face Shape
There are a few different ways you can determine your face shape to start exploring the styles that suit you best. Start by pulling your hair back and looking in the mirror—what kind of shape do you see when you examine your hairline, cheeks, and jaw line?
Have a dry erase marker handy? Simply outline your reflection in the mirror, and step away to examine the shape. If mirror tracing proves to be a bit difficult, try taking your own headshot using a digital camera or webcam. For super-precise results, use your computer's design software to trace your face in the photo.
While it's not an exact science, determining your face shape can help you discover style choices you hadn't previously considered.
Your Shape, Your Style
Choose the category that best describes your shape, and get helpful tips for finding the perfect pair of eyeglass frames.
Square faces are usually proportional in length and width, characterized by a broad forehead, strong jaw line, and squared chin.
Frames that fit square features:
To soften your jaw line and create the illusion of length, look for round and oval frames with upward curves and contours. Choose frames with corner flourishes or pops of color to soften sharp features.
Shop for oval frames here.
Styles for your shape:
Semi-rimless, oval, and cat-eye frames will flatter your square-shaped features, while sharp points, metal tips, and more elaborate wings take classic frames to new extremes this season.
Round faces are also proportional in length and width, and are characterized by soft curves, few angles and a rounded jaw line.
Frames that fit your features:
Steer clear of small, round frames and choose high or mid-height temples to create the illusion of a longer, slimmer silhouette. More angular, geometric frames will also add balance and definition to softer features.
Shop for square and rectangular frames here.
Styles for your shape:
Squared frames with straight top lines and bold strokes of color are the perfect complement to the soft features of a round face.
The heart-shaped face is like an inverted triangle—usually a bit longer than wide—and is characterized by a wider forehead, higher cheekbones and a narrow jaw line.
Frames that fit your features:
To balance your features and add width below your eyeline, choose round or oval frames with upward curves and low temples. Avoid exaggerating the widest parts of your face with decorative frames or strong top lines.
Shop for oval and round frames here.
Styles for your shape:
Want a fresh off-the-runway look? Try rounded frames, circular lenses, low temples, and 70s-styling—all perfect looks for the heart-shaped to explore.
Oval faces are typically longer than they are wide, have balanced features, a chin slightly narrower than the forehead, and a rounded jaw line.
Frames that fit your features:
Wider frames with strong top lines will help your face appear shorter and broader, but because your face shape is suited for a just about any frame, don't feel confined by any singular style.
Shop for geometric shapes and cat-eye frames here.
Styles for your shape:
The contrasting top lines of vintage brow line frames will balance out an oval face. Experiment with bold geometric shapes, up-and-coming relaxed cat-eye lenses, and everything in between.
Now you're ready to go shopping for eyeglasses on Eyeconic.

Portia Archives
The archives began as a collection of miscellaneous papers rounded up from corners and closets. In the mid-1980's a part-time archivist was hired who created the arrangement for the Portia Law School and Calvin Coolidge College archives and composed the finding aids related to them. The New England Law | Boston archives were rearranged into record groups between 1998 and 2000, with the intention of making them an ongoing archival collection. (See finding aid for the New England Law | Boston groups).
Arthur W. MacLean founded Portia School of Law in 1908. Some of his personal papers are included in the collection.
Transcripts from an oral history project undertaken by New England Law professor Ronald Chester in 1981-1982 are not housed here, but a directory, or register, of that collection is included to assist those who are interested. Finally, faculty publications that are housed in the archives are listed.
A group of records from a particular office, department or organization form a record group. Each record group is described in this guide. Following the title of the record group is the time period that the materials encompass and a brief description of its contents. Each line below the description denotes a subdivision, or series, of the record group, followed by a very brief description of the contents of the series. In some cases, series are broken down into further subdivisions, called subseries, and sub-subseries are not unheard of.
The numbers to the left of each series or subseries title are locator guides, primarily for the library staff who retrieve the materials. A number by itself or preceding a colon is a box number. A number following a colon is a folder number. "Bd. vol." denotes a bound volume freestanding on a shelf.
To use the archives, please contact Karen Green, the Acquisitions, Preservation and Special Collections Librarian. Use this guide to determine what you would like to see, and the materials will be retrieved for you. Please take notes only in pencil and not on the archival materials. Please handle photographs only by the edges; using lightweight gloves (which we can supply) is even better. Nothing in these collections may be published without the written consent of the library.
You need not be an eminent scholar to use or benefit from these pieces of history. As a member of the New England Law | Boston community, you are a part of that history. If you are not a part of our community, it is our pride to share this with you.

Emily Golden's tiny patients can't tell her when something hurts, when they are hungry or when they need to be held. She has been working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at UC San Diego Health since she completed nursing school five years ago.
"That is part of the challenge working in the NICU," Golden said. "We have to be able to figure out what they need."
Golden has dedicated her career to taking the best care of the infants born prematurely at UC San Diego Medical Center where tracking the feeding, care and vital signs are crucial. After the hospital transitioned to a computerized medical record system, she recognized that babies didn't fit into the record system meant for adult patients. So she modified the system and teaches other nurses how to use it.
Nurses must track the types of feeding the babies receive either through a feeding tube, bottle or breast milk, the weight of their diapers and their carbon dioxide levels. They also have different normal ranges for their heart rate, body temperature and other vital signs.
At UC San Diego Health, nurses are encouraged to improve processes and make changes that will improve their patients' care, Golden said.
"Our Magnet designation reflects how integral nurses are in the system," Golden said. "At UC San Diego, we are constantly trying to improve, and nurses are an important part of that process."
Nurses here are included on rounds. "The doctors recognize that we know the patients the best because we spend all day with them."
Golden said working in the NICU is a perfect fit for her where she can bond with the babies and their parents, often for several months of treatment.
"It is bittersweet to see them go home," Golden said. "You think about where they started and how healthy they have become. It is very satisfying."

During the offseason, the Green Bay Packers hitched their wagon to Sam Shields, giving him a four-year deal worth $39 million.
It will be a long time before another Packers cornerback is paid as much as Shields. He's the future at the position on defense.
Tramon Williams, Jarrett Bush and Davon House, meanwhile, might be the past. Their time in Green Bay isn't over yet, but all three of them enter the final season of their respective contracts, and none of them are guaranteed to return beyond 2014.
Williams and Bush represent the Old Guard, both members of the Super Bowl XLV team in Green Bay and neither no longer on the sunny side of 30 years old. Bush enters his ninth season in the NFL in 2014. Williams, his eighth.
No, the professional football careers of Williams and Bush may not come to a close in 2014, but neither is going to make as much in the next contract as they earned in the previous one.
If either Williams or Bush sign another contract with the Packers, it'll be a short-term deal.
Whether or not that happens is a matter for the future. For the time being, they're in the fold for the season at hand, perhaps their Swan Song in Titletown.
The Packers can hope Williams and Bush will perhaps be motivated by the opportunity to be a part of a championship-caliber team in the same way that tackles Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher were in 2010.
Williams is the incumbent starter opposite Shields, which doesn't figure to change.
After playing strong down the stretch last season with four interceptions in the last eight games (including playoffs), Williams showed he may have finally put his shoulder injury from 2011 behind him and is still very capable of making a big-time impact.
For Bush, it's status quo. Despite his shining moment last season when he broke up a pass and later intercepted another intended for future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez in a win over the Atlanta Falcons, Bush will likely only see spot duty on defense.
The role for Bush, same as its been the past several years, will be special teams demon: the guy gunning down returners and downing punts inside the five-yard line.
The situation for House, however, is different. At just 24 years old and entering his fourth year in the NFL, House is in the final year of his rookie contract.
Potentially, House can play a big role in Green Bay for seasons to come, but he's going to have to earn it.
Up to now, the former fourth round draft choice has done little in his first three years in the NFL, intercepting just one pass. But House is coming off his best season as a professional. For the first time in his career, he played in all 16 games, breaking up 10 passes and grabbing his lone interception.
With Williams' future also uncertain, the Packers could be looking for a starter in 2015 and beyond. House has as good an opportunity as anyone to become an eventual starter, especially on the perimeter of the field, although Casey Hayward and new sixth round draft choice Demetri Goodson will have a say as well.
The futures of Williams, Bush and House probably won't be determined until next offseason. But how they perform in 2014 will likely play a large part in what the Packers decide to do at cornerback.

Brazil's Belo Horizonte Opens Love Motel for Dogs
Cue Marvin Gaye. This new hot spot is going to the dogs.
Brazilian city Belo Horizonte, which has 2.4 million people, has opened a new "love motel" just for pooches, The New York Times is reporting.
Animalle Mundo Pet is an eight-story establishment offering nonalcoholic beef-flavored Dog Beer, a relaxing spa with a Japanese soaking tub, meat-flavored muffins, grooming, doggie perfume produced in Porto Alegre ($40 a bottle), as well as canine apparel featuring symbols of local soccer clubs Atlético Mineiro and Cruzeiro.
Animalle can also arrange artificial insemination if the pets have trouble mating.
"I adore the romantic feel of this place," said Andreia Kfoury to the newspaper while she and her husband were shopping for their Yorkshire terrier, Harley. "I'm definitely bringing Harley back here when it's time for him to breed. He is very macho, and would be a hit in this place."
Harley himself would not comment.
The dog motel is one way Brazil is responding to their growing dog population, which is now about 36 million, according to the Times. São Paulo offers a public hospital for dogs and cats. Some surgeons even provide Botox injections for dogs.
"I was tired of practicing law and saw that the dog market was taking off," said Daniela Guimarães Loures, who invested $1 million with her brother to open Animalle in July.
Loures is also a Dalmatian owner. She referred to figures in Brazilian trade magazines, such as Pet Business, explaining that pet shops in Brazil "generate more than $6 billion in total annual revenue."
The siblings leased a former children's hospital for Animalle, which partly caters to cats, fish and rodents.
"The ambience here is lovely," said Teresa Cristina Carvalho, who owns a Shih Tzu puppy named Mel (Honey). "We'll return when Mel is in heat."
Carvalho also said she is going to buy her puppy a bottle of Dog Beer.
"Mel gets agitated with so much stimulation, and needs to relax a bit," she said. "Come to think of it, I need some peace and quiet as well."
According to the World Bank, the per capita income has risen in Brazil to around $10,700 a year, which gives people more room to spend more on pets. Government statistics also indicate Brazil's fertility rates have declined to less than 1.9 children per women, from 2.5 in the 1990s. Life expectancy also rose from 67 to 73.
Consequently, people are offering their homes to pets as a means to expand their families and they now have more years to keep them as companions.
Euromonitor International announced in October that Brazil's middle class is earning more, leading people to buy more dogs as pets. They also stated Brazilians have nearly 20 million small dogs at home, which is more per capita than any other country in the world.

A suspect wanted in connection with vehicle break-ins last month in Havelock was arrested over the weekend in New Bern.
A suspect wanted in connection with vehicle break-ins last month in Havelock was arrested over the weekend in New Bern.
Mark Anthony Parker-Stallings, 20, of New Bern, faces charges in Havelock of identity theft, breaking or entering of a motor vehicle, misdemeanor larceny and obtaining property by false pretenses, according to arrest warrants.
Parker-Stallings also faces a robbery charge in South Carolina, according to warrants.
According to warrants, Parker-Stallings is accused of presenting false identification in attempting to sell what authorities said was a stolen iPod from a vehicle he broke into in Havelock on the night of Nov. 4 or the morning of Nov. 5.
During that time frame, 19 vehicle break-ins were reported in the Slocum Village housing area where iPods, tablets, cash, change, credit cards and wallets were stolen, according to Havelock police. Police report that the items taken were removed from vehicles that were not locked or secured.
According to court records, Parker-Stallings faces other charges in Craven County that include attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling or moving vehicle, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, driving while impaired and possession of drug paraphernalia.
In Pitt County, he faces charges of possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a schedule II controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting a public officer.
Parker-Stallings is being held in the Craven County Jail on a bond of $302,500.
