Atkins MR/ID Court Decision: Hill v Humphrey (GA; 2011; 11th Circuit Court) 2011)
Thanks to Kevin Foley for sending me the interesting Warren Lee Hill, Jr. V Carl Humphrey Atkins decision by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals . Of interest is the length of the opinion (110 pages). Next, this was en banc decision decided by 11 judges (not the usual 3). Finally, there was only one major issue---whether Georgia's proof beyond a reasonable doubt standard is unconstitutional. The majority said no.
Judge Rosemary Barkett's dissent was recommended reading to me (begins on page 66). She contends that the standard is so hard to meet, that those with mild ID/MR are sure to lose, even though they are ID. "The state court’s decision, however, endorses the use of a standard of proof so high that it effectively limits the constitutional right protected in Atkins to only those who are severely or profoundly mentally retarded." pg 70
The prior 2010 appeals decision can be found here.
The current decision can be found here.

Let the data speak: CHC theory of intelligence tipping point in mainstream intelligence research
From IQs Corner blog. An indicator that the CHC "tipping point" has moved beyond the applied field of school psychology IQ testing and has occurred in mainstream intelligence research
Intelligent Insights on Intelligence Theories and Tests (aka IQ's Corner)
Intelligent Insights on Intelligence Theories and Tests (aka IQ's Corner)
Let the data speak. McGrew (2009) CHC intelligence article #6 most cited in journal Intelligence
Posted: 26 Nov 2011 05:03 PM PST
I was just doing some fun web browsing at the journal web site for the most prestigious journal in the field of intelligence (Intelligence) and was pleasantly surprised to see that my 2009 invited editorial is currently among the most cited articles in the journal (#6), and was #12 in the most read articles. Damn....this makes my day. Thanks to all who have read and cited it. This will make my mom and dad proud.
CHC theory and the human cognitive abilities project: Standing on the shoulders of the giants of psychometric intelligence research. Intelligence, Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2009, Pages 1-10, McGrew, K.S.
Abstract
During the past decade the Cattell-Horn Gf-Gc and Carroll Three-Stratum models have emerged as the consensus psychometric-based models for understanding the structure of human intelligence. Although the two models differ in a number of ways, the strong correspondence between the two models has resulted in the increased use of a broad umbrella term for a synthesis of the two models (Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory of cognitive abilities-CHC theory). The purpose of this editorial is three-fold. First, I will describe the CHC framework and recommend that intelligence researchers begin using the CHC taxonomy as a common nomenclature for describing research findings and a theoretical framework from which to test hypotheses regarding various aspects of human cognitive abilities. Second, I argue that the emergence of the CHC framework should not be viewed as the capstone to the psychometric era of factor analytic research. Rather, I recommend the CHC framework serve as the stepping stone to reinvigorate the investigation of the structure of human intelligence. Finally, the Woodcock-Muñoz Foundation Human Cognitive Abilities (HCA) project, which is an evolving, free, on-line electronic archive of the majority of datasets analyzed in Carroll's (1993) seminal treatise on factor analysis of human cognitive abilities, is introduced and described. Intelligence scholars are urged to access the Carroll HCA datasets to test and evaluate structural models of human intelligence with contemporary methods (confirmatory factor analysis). In addition, suggestions are offered for linking the analysis of contemporary data sets with the seminal work of Carroll. The emergence of a consensus CHC taxonomy and access to the original datasets analyzed by Carroll provides an unprecedented opportunity to extend and refine our understanding of human intelligence. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Blogging status: BlogPress on the fritz and IAP's blogs going pro
Regular readers may have noticed a significant decrease in blog posts the past few weeks. Why?
I had moved all my blogging to my iPad as I have found it a much more efficient method for posting. However, a few weeks ago Apple released its new IOS5.0 operating system. After updating my iPad, my BlogPress app would crash. I visited the developers web page and they had a note indicating they were aware of the crash and had submitted a fix to Apple for review. I have been checking daily for the app upate, but it is not showing up. So, please be patient. I may go "old school" and do some blogging from my PC.
Also, I am just starting work with a professional web development company to integrate my IAP web page and professional blogs into a single professional looking (andmore efficient) web portal.. I will be spending significant time working with the developer on this new internet portal and migration of materials to the new server. I have no idea how long this will take.
In the end the work will be worth it......so be patient. I will do what I can to get back "up" and blogging with more regularity. As soon as BlogPress gets the new app, you should see an uptick in posts.
Thanks for your patience

Atkins MR/ID Death Penalty Decision: Herring v Florida (2011)
Yet another Florida Atkins decision that fails to acknowledge the standard error of measurement. I have previously lamented the unbelievable "Cherry court" bright lint (no SEM allowed) decision previously and won't restate my disbelief again (click here to visit). The latest decision to not allow the use of the SEM is Herring v Florida.
Come on Florida. The SEM is a scientifically accepted fact....beyond dispute.
