 The Rotunda #73 8/29/16 - In the first guest segment, Scott and Tyler talk with Jennifer Viemont, from Beyond The States, about the many benefits of going to college outside the United States. Many prospective students and their parents shy away from the thought, believing that it’s too expensive and logistically a nightmare. Jennifer helps put these misgivings to rest. A must listen for anyone with children going to college in the next few years.
Major Fetceau Goes to Smith Hill? Army Major Matt Fecteau calls in to discuss his run for Senate District 8 in Pawtucket, and the challenges he is facing going against The Machine and the son of former mayor James Doyle. Will Matt be able to pull off the upset on Sept 13th? What does he think of the endorsement process for General Assembly candidates? Does he want a rematch with WBOB’s Kevin Willette? Tune in and find out!  Joel Norman (age 26), of Webster, MA, pleaded guilty today before Superior Court Justice Kristin E. Rodgers to two counts of DUI death resulting, two counts of driving to endanger death resulting, and one count of possession of cocaine. Norman was sentenced to a total of 20 years with 12 to be served at the ACI, followed by three years to be served on home confinement, followed by eight years suspended. In addition, the Court ordered a ten-year revocation of license upon completion of time served, a $10,000 fine, and substance abuse counseling.
 According to a Princeton Review survey that asked 143,000 students at 381 top colleges to rate their schools on dozens of topics and report on their experiences at them, the college at which students gave their teachers the highest marks is Wellesley College (MA). It is #1 on the "Best Professors" list in the education services company's tallies for its 25th annual college rankings being released today.
Topping the Princeton Review list, "Great Financial Aid," based on students' satisfaction with their aid award packages, is Vassar College (NY) -- a not-so-surprising distinction, given that Vassar's average undergraduate need-based scholarship last year was$45,100.  Cobblestone Press returned to the digital airwaves this week, as host Kevin Aherne dusted off the cobwebs to profile America's Presidential choices come November -- and they include more than just a "political insider who very much represents "the man" despite being a woman" or a "megalomaniac demagogue who has alienated pretty much every world citizen, save for a few idiots."
Also joining the program is Russell Taub, Republican candidate for U.S. Congress, seeking to supplant the incumbent, Mr. David Cicilline (a 2-term member of the House of Representatives and former Mayor of Providence). Aherne offered Taub a platform to introduce himself and offer WBOB listeners – many of whom are Rhode Island voters – an explanation of what he plans to do, if elected, that Cicilline is not currently doing.
