Back to School ... Forever
If you adored campus life and would die for your alma mater, you may go for this. Notre Dame University and the University of Richmond have joined a growing group of colleges that allow alumni and faculty to inter their ashes on school grounds. For a few thousand dollars, you can have your urn placed in a memorial wall or columbarium. College officials are watching to see if the trend, which began at the University of Virginia in the early 1990s and has spread to at least eight other schools, leads to bigger alumni donations. Even if it doesn't, it still puts a new twist on the phrase "hanging around campus."

Name Game
Boomers who enjoyed comedian George Carlin's infamous "Seven Dirty Words" shtick during the 1970s may or may not get a chuckle out of a new "S-word" for the list: "senior," especially when combined with the word "center." Many boomers in their 50s and 60s tend not to sign up for senior center membership because they don't appreciate the moniker, which is often associated with being old. A survey by the National Institute of Senior Centers found that 63 percent of center directors were in favor of changing the name of their program and nearly 60 percent don't believe the term "senior center" will serve their community in the future.

Rock On!
The Zimmers—with a 90-year-old lead singer and a combined age of more than 3,000—may be the world's oldest rock band. The British group's recent cover of the Who's classic "My Generation" has become a cult hit on YouTube.com and gained them a spot on the Tonight Show.
