quicklist: 1title: 'In This Case I Said Something That's Just Completely Wrong'text: Mitt Romney for the first time characterized his comments during a fundraiser that were surreptitiously filmed and caught the candidate essentially writing off 47 percent of Americans as "completely wrong."

"Clearly in a campaign with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question and answer sessions, now and then you're going to say something that doesn't come out right," Romney said in an interview Wednesday night with Fox News' Sean Hannity. "In this case I said something that's just completely wrong."

Romney went on to say that his life has shown he cares about "100 percent and that's been demonstrated through my life and this whole campaign is about the 100 percent."

quicklist: 2title: 'My Hope Is He Is Able to Do All the Things Little Boys Should Do'text: Jenna Buswell, a Washington state mother of two, does worry about such close contact.

Buswell's bundle of joy, her 7-month-old son Casen, has a rare vascular condition that causes his blood vessels, skin and muscles to harden, and it will only worsen as he gets older.

The condition, so rare that Casen is only one of 14 known cases in the world, is called glomuvenous malformations plaque type, and is caused by a missing glomulin gene. If left untreated, it could ultimately lead to heart failure, Buswell said.

A husband-and-wife doctor team are the only professionals in the world to have an established treatment that may save Casen's life.

"My hope is he is able to do all the things little boys should do. Run around, ride his bike, play with his sister," Buswell said.

quicklist: 3title: 'You Don't Reach 100 Just Like This. With Your Body, You've Got to Use It, Not Abuse It.'text: It really was the celebration of the century.

Best friends for 91 years, Joseph Katz and Al Spiegal celebrated their 100th birthdays together in Lauderhill, Fla., on Saturday.

The two whipper-snappers, originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., celebrated by having a joint party at Inverrary Diner near their homes in Florida. Spiegal's actual birthday was Aug. 26, but he waited to blow out the candles until his best bud's big day on Sept. 29.

Katz had a few simple words of wisdom for anyone else looking to live to 100 years old.

"You don't reach 100 just like this. With your body, you've got to use it, not abuse it. Live the right kind of life. Take care of yourself," Katz said. "Eat the right kind of food. Don't smoke. Don't touch alcohol. Go ride a bike. Go ballroom dancing. Keep occupied and you'll make it."

quicklist: 4title: 'Hi, I'm Steve Martin. You Probably Know Me as the Actor and Comedian. But Did You Know I'm Also a Home Crafts Expert?'text: Did you know that Steve Martin is not only a famous actor and comedian, he's also a home-crafts expert? And that he supports Bob Kerrey?

Until last week, Martin was not particularly known for his ability to wad paper or his leanings in Nebraska's 2012 Senate race, but perhaps that's about to change.
