Hello, My name is Doris Anne Beaulieu. I have a website-Life’s Ultimate Test dot com-on which you can learn more about my mission to change the face of home schooling. I attended a parochial school as a child in the 1950's. In this Catholic school I was sheltered from the realities of the world around me-from swearing, from public displays of affection, from slang. These are often some of the same things that modern home schooling parents aim to protect their children from. A superior court judg… Continue

REMINDER: THESE ARE MARK'S VIEWS . NOT WAMU's, NOT AU's, NOT ANY OTHER 'U's VIEWS. Washington's news-talk commercial radio station has an "Answer Desk" these days. I was hoping they would get my mortgage refinanced, my kids admitted to the Beauvoir School and arrange a climatic change to the pattern of mid-Atlantic Spring tornadoes.

Years ago, I opened a modest AOL account. That was back when we all needed help navigating Al Gore's great new invention. The monthly deduction of $6.95 has lurked on my credit card e… Continue

About once a week, I get an email from a listener who is frustrated that we "covered up" an NPR segment with "insignificant" local news, arts, traffic, or weather. If you share this sentiment, I have some good news for you. NPR has signaled its intentions to forge ahead with its multi-million dollar expansion of NPR.ORG, this week launching its own version of The Conversation and announcing a $2.5 million training scheme for its reporters to learn how to write and shoot pictures for the… Continue

The science of estimating the size of the American radio audience is getting a lot more complex and interesting, or a lot scarier, depending on your perspective. Arbitron, the company with a monopoly on measuring our listening habits, is rolling out its Portable People Meter, or as they said at its Washington, D.C. launch "technology is catching up with reality." Here's how it works currently: a couple of thousand people, a… Continue
