...anyone with an amateur interest in psychology (or who ever completed a high school science report). Although Skodlar, Dernovsek and Kocmur shy away from pinpointing the exact causes behind their observations - admitting that their research was hindered by a small sample size, the need to rely on second-hand interpretations of patients' problems, and the fact that the medical community's knowledge of schizophrenia has changed over the past century - their observations are enough to give us pause. While the underlying causes of mental illness have remained the same, the delusions it produces are a distorted, funhouse mirror-type look...
...where there is a fact finder and a subcommittee, the accused has the same access to the information as members of the Board. Indeed, all the witness testimony are presented to the student by his or her resident dean soon after it is given.

Helping Stevens' argument was the revelation this week...
...Eventually Obama's opponents moved past accusing him of celebrity and socialism to charging his family with witchcraft and warning that his election would bring on the End of Days, when Christianity would be criminalized and "God could take his hand of protection off of America," as Gary Bauer, who once ran for President himself, put it. Obama, meanwhile, used his immense financial advantage to run a half-hour prime-time ad that told his story, made his case - and never once mentioned McCain...
