Risk factors for this group include lower socioeconomic backgrounds, fewer family ties, and higher rates of behavioral issues and substance abuse prior to service. The research also shows that older veterans, unmarried veterans, and those without VA compensation or Medicaid are additionally vulnerable to homelessness.

Anthony Sparks- gov't shutdown
The U.S. federal government is struggling to avoid a shutdown as the White House and Congress have not reached a budget deal. The large national debt of $13.7 trillion, which would not be paid off even if a penny was earned every 5 minutes since the Big Bang, is a major factor. Due to a lack of revenue, the government has been borrowing money from China to avoid shutdowns. However, this debt to China could allow them to control the U.S. economy and foreign policy if they cut off loans in the future. The government must address this serious economic issue to avoid worse problems than a shutdown.

Bison football review[1]
The Bethany Bison football team, with a record of 2-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play, will host the Westminster Titans, also 2-2 overall and 1-1 in conference, for their Homecoming game. In their last game, the Bison struggled defensively against the run and lost to Waynesburg 23-7, while the Titans nearly upset conference leader W&J but lost 20-16. The Bison will need to contain Titans running back John Proano and quarterback Shawn Lehocky to win. The Bison offense is led by running back Eric Walker and quarterback Matt Grimard, who both had strong performances against the Titans last season. If either team plays like

Anthony sparks men's bball review[1]
In his third year, Coach Andrew Sachs has led the Bethany Bison men's basketball team to success, compiling a 40-17 record and winning the PAC title last season. This year's team returns 4 starters, including top players Nick Wilcox and British Alexander, giving the team more experience. However, Coach Sachs knows complacency could be an issue and is pushing the team to maintain their determination to defend their title and return to the NCAA tournament. Key players James Barton and Reece Mabery will be relied on for ball handling and defense throughout the season as the Bison look to repeat as PAC champions.

Fall Convocation
- 1. Anthony Sparks Media Writing (309 words) Prof M.E. Gamble September 9, 2011 Fall Convocation The 2011 Fall Convocation, every Convocation at Bethany College is special, but it always kicks off the new year with the proper environment and traditions of the school by bringing its students together. Bethany College graduate Greg Jordan, global managing partner at Reed Smith, one of the world’s largest law firms, gave the address to start the event in Commencement Hall on Thursday, September8th. Also, Ogden Nutting, long-time member of Bethany College’s Board of Trustees, was given an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters. Nutting serves as publisher of The Ogden Newspapers, in Wheeling, W.Va. Back to Greg Jordan, he encouraged students not to let themselves be worried by the news, the economy, or the crisis of the high employment. He talks more about students being themselves, learning more, transforming themselves into someone they want to be because the bad news is a part of life. “Enjoy every minute of this opportunity,” Jordan says. Dean of Students Gerald Stebbins announced the recipients of the Anna Ruth Bourne Award, the W. Kirk Woolery Award and the Richard B. Kenney Freshman Leadership Award. The Anna Ruth Bourne Award is given each semester to the sorority obtaining the highest scholastic standing and it was awarded to Alpha Xi Delta. This semester’s W. Kirk Woolery Award, given to the fraternity obtaining the highest scholastic standing, was presented to Beta Theta Pi. Plus, The Richard B. Kenney Freshman Leadership Award went to sophomore Amber Ridings. It is given annually to a student who has demonstrated outstanding scholarship, leadership and character at Bethany.
- 2. This ceremony hopefully reminds students how traditional and special Bethany College is every year. Bethany is a college like none other, so students should feel proud and inspired while being enrolled and involved with such a small, but nationally known atmosphere.
