...September 26, “Saturday Night Live” started off its 35th season with a bang—or, more accurately, a bomb. In her first appearance on the show, as a biker chick who overuses the word “freaking,” featured player Jenny Slate accidentally said “fucking” on-air. This story has been blogged, reblogged, and re-reblogged ad infinitum over the last few weeks. It appeared in newspapers and magazines from “The New York Times” to “Entertainment Weekly...
...35th minute, Rogers latched onto a great pass from fellow freshman Prozeller, who had slotted next to co-captain Brian Grimm in midfield. Rogers darted by the Seawolves’ defense on the right side, finding himself one-on-one with the Stony Brook keeper. Rogers shot early, lifting the ball into the top left corner to even the score...
...Here is a brief history of the Class of 2013: At your 25th but not at your 35th reunion, activities will include provision for small children.

At the first interview, 1.4% of participants thought there was "almost no chance" that they'd reach their mid-30s; 2.4% thought it was possible, but hugely unlikely; and 10.9% believed they had only about a 50-50 shot of celebrating their 35th birthday. Researchers discovered that those who believed they were likely to die young were more likely to make potentially life-threatening choices - such as getting into violent fights or having unprotected sex with multiple partners - than teens who weren't expecting an early death...
