Disability Advocacy and Atkins
No full textThis Article examines the correlation between the Court\u27s perception and its resolution of the constitutional issues, most dramatically exhibited in Atkins. Part II of this Article briefly examines the history of discrimination against persons with mental retardation. Part III of this Article traces the history of the Court\u27s decisions involving persons with mental retardation, giving special attention to the way in which the Justices\u27 opinions reveal their apparent understanding of mental retardation and the relationship between individuals who have the disability and the law.5 Finally, Part IV addresses the Atkins opinion itself, with emphasis on the Court\u27s understanding of mental retardation
2000 Sub-Librarians Meeting: Ace Atkins and M.C. Beaton
No full textThe Sub-Librarians planned and advertised a program with renowned science fiction and fantasy author Philip Jose Farmer. George Scheetz was instrumental in making that introduction. However, due to ill health, Farmer was unable to travel and had to cancel close to the program date.
However, on very short notice, Ace Atkins agreed to come to Chicago and speak to the group. Atkins had spoken to a very appreciative group of Sub-Librarians the previous year in New Orleans, and he gave another stellar performance in Chicago. He talked about his new book, Leaving\u27 Trunk Blues, which is another Nick Travers mystery, this one set in Chicago, from St. Martin\u27s Press.
St. Martin\u27s also stepped up and offered to have author M.C. Beaton join Ace as a speaker. M.C. Beaton is a pseudonym of Marion Chesney, who may be best known as the author of romance novels set during the English Regency. Her first detective story as M.C. Beaton came out for St. Martin\u27s in 1985. She has two series-one set in Scotland with Hamish Macbeth and one set in the Cotswolds with Agatha Raisin.
St. Martin\u27s generously provided copies of both authors\u27 books for signing after the program.
Marsha Pollak chaired the program, welcomed the audience, explained the change in speakers, called for toasts and introduced the authors
Hall v. Florida: The Supreme Court\u27s Guidance in Implementing Atkins
No full textIn Atkins v. Virginia, the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that criminal defendants with mental retardation could not be sentenced to death or be executed because such an execution would constitute cruel and unusual punishment and therefore was prohibited by the Eighth Amendment. A dozen years later, in Hall v. Florida, the Court has reiterated the constitutional holding of Atkins and has given the states guidance on its implementation. The Court held that Florida could not impose an arbitrary IQ score limitation on the right of capital defendants to seek relief under Atkins. While the holding in Hall was relatively narrow, the Court’s decision has reinforced the importance of protecting individuals with this disability from the death penalty, and provided helpful context for lower courts facing the task of implementing Atkins in individual cases. Cases involving Atkins claims are at the confluence of doctrinal developments under the Eighth Amendment and professional and clinical understanding about mental disability and its diagnosis. This Article seeks to explore what the Hall decision teaches about the current understanding in each of these subjects and steps that can be taken to assure that the rights of defendants who have intellectual disability are fully protected

Using Biology to Diet: An Exposé on the Atkins Diet
No full textabstract: This paper explores the well-known Atkins Diet, as it also places a strong regulation on macromolecule consumption, specifically carbohydrates, in order to assist with the weight loss process. A review of available literature will be used to investigate: the history of the diet, necessity of macromolecule consumption, the impact this has on the individual biochemical pathways (glycolysis/gluconeogenesis) and the microbiome as a whole, as well as overall success rates and long-term health complications/benefits. Additionally personal statements from various individuals who have experience with the diet, myself included, will be incorporated into a holistic analysis of the effectiveness and longevity of the Atkins weight-loss strategy.

What’s the Story? Issues of Diversity and Children’s Publishing in the U.K.
No full textAfter working for almost a decade as an editor of "multicultural" picture books in the United States (at Children's Book Press and Lee & Low Books), Laura Atkins developed a particular interest in how the publication process affects books written by authors of colour (or non-white authors as is more commonly said in the U.K.). Building on previous research, including her article published in "White Privilege and Children's Publishing: A Web 2.0 Case Study,” Write4Children (Web), she here focuses on issues of diversity, representation and storytelling in children’s books. After sharing some of her personal experiences as an editor, she then builds on author interviews, in the hope of ultimately allowing editors to explore their subjectivity and preferences, which shape the publishers’ catalogues.Ses quelques 10 ans d’expérience aux Etats-Unis en tant qu’éditrice de livres « multiculturels » de littérature jeunesse, chez Children’s Book Press et Lee & Low Books, ont amené Laura Atkins à s’interroger sur les effets et contraintes exercées par la publication en tant que « mécanisme » sur les livres d’auteurs de couleur (ou « non-blancs » selon la terminologie adoptée au RoY.A.ume-Uni). Dans la continuité de ses propres recherches (voir "White Privilege and Children's Publishing: A Web 2.0 Case Study,” Write4Children, Web), elle centre ici sa réflexion sur les problèmes de diversité ethnique, de représentation et de narration dans la littérature jeunesse contemporaine. Après un retour sur son parcours professionnel, Laura Atkins rassemble ici les fruits d’interviews d’auteurs dits de couleur, dans l’espoir d’amener ultérieurement les éditeurs et directeurs de collection à se pencher sur leur propre subjectivité
