Filmmaker Defeats Depression by Faking Intervention
By David Moye - AOL NewsAs it was for many people, the 2008 recession was a bad time for filmmaker Steve Moramarco. "My life was literally in the toilet for about a year, personally and professionally," he told AOL News. "Everything was dead. As an actor, I had no auditions and there was basically no work.

In better days, Moramarco had worked with Jack Black on films like "School of Rock" and was an associate producer on "Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny." He also had the honor of appearing on the flip side of ...

Study Finds Daydreaming No Escape From Sadness
By Traci Watson - AOL News
(Nov. 11) -- Allowing your mind to drift may seem like a pleasant escape from that report you're writing for the boss or the junk you're clearing from the garage. But a new study says daydreaming actually lowers happiness. In research out today, scientists report that people who are focused on the task at hand -- no matter how boring or aggravating -- are happier than people whose thoughts are wandering to something else. Even pleasant daydreams don't lift mood very much. "A lot of us have the intuition that when we're doing something that's not very enjoyable, if we can escape somewhere ...

Ignore Your Inner Cynic and Vote on Tuesday
By Donna Trussell - Politics Daily"Tribute to Her," uploaded to the Internet on Nov. 7, 2008, is a slideshow of Election Day photographs. YouTube member SailorBrownie described her post as a "dedication to all those Black Americans who went out on Tuesday and voted. We made history." While it's not altogether clear who is the "Her" in the title of the video, it might as well be the woman collapsed on the floor in tears. A girl nearby touches her cheek with a little confusion and a lot tenderness for the woman who is, most likely, her mother. The pictures are set to the Beatles song, "Blackbird" -- a good choice, considering ...
