Jackson's story features in the 2016 non-fiction book Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race. In this role, she worked to influence the hiring and promotion of women in NASA's science, engineering, and mathematics careers. She accepted a demotion to become a manager of both the Federal Women's Program, in the NASA Office of Equal Opportunity Programs and of the Affirmative Action Program.

He thought "a lot of the same ideas would apply" to putting out a magazine similar to Consumer Reports, which has been publishing for 61 years. As his HEW staffers did their work, he said, they were "also in the meantime training me about evaluation methods, so I was spending. In the early 1970s, he was director of research and evaluation planning at the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. ![]() But before becoming a publisher and consumer advocate, that's exactly where he was - working for the federal government. Tanned and tie-less, with the physique of a regular bicyclist, Krughoff looks as if he would be more at home at the helm of a sailboat than behind a government desk. build as many checks as possible in the system," Krughoff said, "but it's always possible to make mistakes." has made similar accusations concerning its Trooper and Acura SLX models. said Consumers Union had faked tests to produce rollovers in the 1988 Suzuki Samurai. Krughoff believes that rating services instead of products helps Checkbook to avoid the type of controversy that has surrounded Consumer Reports' study of sport utility vehicles, in which the magazine was accused of rigging the trucks to flip over easily. When checking out hospital emergency rooms, Krughoff said he "drove around to fire departments and talked to ambulance squads and asked them to rate the emergency departments that they visited." "In our very first issue, when we were evaluating nursing homes," Krughoff recalled, "we surveyed members of the clergy, who regularly visit patients in these nursing homes, and asked them what do you think,' because they had a basis for comparison. without their permission."Īnd sometimes, it means taking unorthodox measures. "So it means that sometimes you're really just seizing on table scraps of data - anything that you can get your hands on. "We don't want to be dependent on any firm we're evaluating, so we have to do it at arm's length, and we have to know that we can do it whether they want to play ball or not," Krughoff said. ![]() Information for the surveys - which can cost from $1,000 to $50,000 - is culled from reader and customer surveys, firsthand testing and public records. The staff of about 30 also publishes an annual restaurant guide and Checkbook Bargains, a guide to the area's best prices for electronic equipment, appliances, watches, sporting goods, tools and many other products. Newsstand sales also contributed to revenue that approached $2 million last year. It is supported almost entirely by nearly 52,000 subscribers (who pay $30 each) and their separate donations, which Krughoff said topped $300,000 from District area readers last year. Over the years, Giant and other companies have expressed dissatisfaction to Krughoff about the results of Checkbook surveys, but none has filed a formal complaint with any regulatory agency.Ĭheckbook is published twice a year by the Center for the Study of Services, a Washington nonprofit business of which Krughoff is president. "They provide an invaluable service not only to their subscribers but also to all other consumers," who "can take advantage of a more competitive, consumer-friendly marketplace as a result of Checkbook's activities," he said. "By shopping with specials, consumers can realize true savings."īut the item-by-item comparisons are "pre-purchase information" that shoppers need, said Stephen Brobeck, executive director of the Consumer Federation of America. "Limited comparisons such as the information contained in Checkbook are of little value," said Barry Scher, Giant's vice president for public affairs, who disputed the report's conclusion. It also includes an item-by-item price comparison of local grocery chains that concludes shoppers can save more than $900 a year by choosing Shoppers Food Warehouse over Giant or Safeway - and illustrates the feelings Checkbook can evoke among its subjects and subscribers. The current issue is packed with appraisals of veterinarians, pest control firms and more than 500 auto repair businesses. But his second flash of inspiration sprang to life as Washington Consumers' Checkbook, a magazine that for more than two decades has rated the services and cost-competitiveness of area businesses from car dealers to dentists to funeral homes. Krughoff didn't return a fourth time, and his relationship with the repair shop died that day. Then a second thought popped into his head: "There just ought to be a Consumer Reports for services." Twenty-five years ago, as Robert Krughoff drove out of a Prince George's County auto repair shop for the third time, it occurred to him "within a mile," he says, "that I'd be going back for a fourth time." ![]() 11/20/2023 0 Comments Oceans 18 black light mini golf closed![]() ![]() Having been around for 50+ years, I think it’s safe to say there have been a few games played here!

Levels of brain activity were measured with fMRI in 9 children diagnosed with amblyaudia before and after enrollment in ARIA. Children diagnosed with amblyaudia showed significant improvements in dichotic listening non-dominant ear performance and reductions in interaural asymmetry at the fourth training session and again at least 3 months after completion with no significant differences in performance between the two times, demonstrating that improvements from ARIA do not regress. ![]() A change in protocol from 3 sessions per week to 1 session per week produced similar improvements in binaural integration and allowed for higher rates of enrollment during the school year (Russo, Snyder & Moncrieff, 2014).Īt several clinical sites, 133 children were enrolled in four one-hour ARIA training sessions (Moncrieff, et al., 2017). Children with amblyaudia also improved in listening comprehension, word recognition and oral reading whereas normal controls did not. In early studies, Auditory Rehabilitation for Interaural Asymmetry (ARIA) resulted in significant improvement in non-dominant ear dichotic scores following 4 weeks of treatment (Moncrieff & Wertz, 2008). ![]() With objective testing, children with amblyaudia demonstrated no left-right ear correlation in cortical event-related potentials (Moncrieff, et al., 2004) and shorter latencies in the right ear and smaller amplitudes in the left ear for the Pa response of the MLR (Moncrieff, et al., in preparation).Īmblyaudia responds to a treatment similar to occlusion or penalization used for amblyopia. When clinically assessed, 47% of 141 children were diagnosed with amblyaudia (Moncrieff, Keith, Abramson, & Swann, 2016). Several neural mechanisms for amblyaudia have been proposed including abnormal suppression of neural activity in the non-dominant ear by input to the dominant ear (Popescu & Polley, 2010), reduced inhibition in sub-lenticular auditory pathways (Schmithorst, Holland & Plante, 2011), abnormal cellular development in the medial geniculate body of the auditory thalamus (Galaburda, Menard, & Rosen, 1994), and poor interhemispheric transfer of information through the corpus callosum (Westerhausen, Grüner, Specht, & Hugdahl, 2010).Īmblyaudia is diagnosed following a consistent pattern of abnormal responses on at least two dichotic tests. ![]() Amblyaudia is characterized by larger than normal ear advantage during dichotic testing. Most listeners produce an ear advantage in the ear that is contralateral to the listener’s language-dominant cortical hemisphere. Binaural integration is assessed by simultaneous presentations of temporally aligned competing signals to the two ears during dichotic listening tests. Interaural timing and intensity differences are used to detect coincident signals and to prioritize neural codes for transmission. Amblyaudia is a deficit in binaural integration, a process that begins with excitatory and inhibitory activation in the medial and lateral superior olivary complexes of the auditory brainstem (Tollin, 2003). ![]() ![]() Water and abrasion-resistant combines the characteristics of standard cotton and polyester covers.
