What Happy People Don’t Do
By RONI CARYN RABIN
Happy people spend a lot of time socializing, going to church and reading newspapers — but they don’t spend a lot of time watching television, a new study finds.
That’s what unhappy people do.
Although people who describe themselves as happy enjoy watching television, it turns out to be the single activity they engage in less often than unhappy people, said John Robinson, a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland and the author of the study, which appeared in the journal Social Indicators Research.
While most large studies on happiness have focused on the demographic characteristics of happy people — factors like age and marital status — Dr. Robinson and his colleagues tried to identify what activities happy people engage in. The study relied primarily on the responses of 45,000 Americans collected over 35 years by the University of Chicago’s General Social Survey, and on published “time diary” studies recording the daily activities of participants.
“We looked at 8 to 10 activities that happy people engage in, and for each one, the people who did the activities more — visiting others, going to church, all those things — were more happy,” Dr. Robinson said. “TV was the one activity that showed a negative relationship. Unhappy people did it more, and happy people did it less.”
But the researchers could not tell whether unhappy people watch more television or whether being glued to the set is what makes people unhappy. “I don’t know that turning off the TV will make you more happy,” Dr. Robinson said.
Still, he said, the data show that people who spend the most time watching television are least happy in the long run.
Since the major predictor of how much time is spent watching television is whether someone works or not, Dr. Robinson added, it’s possible that rising unemployment will lead to more TV time.

On November 15 at 9:00 a.m. EST, the clock starts ticking.
Apple will post the list of required elements for entries in the 2008 Insomnia Film Festival at www.apple.com/go/insomnia. Then you and your team will have a whole 24 hours to make and upload your 3-minute movie. That's the easy part.
Once your movie's up, you'll need to get everyone you know—and then some—to watch and rate it online. If your movie makes the top 25, you can host a showing at the Apple Retail Store. Your adoring fans can download it from the iTunes Store. And it'll be screened by some big-time industry players:
John August
Doug Ellin
Jody Hill
Masi Oka
Jason Bateman
Paul Haggis
Greg Mattola
Barry Sonnenfeld
Earn the #1 rating from either the public or the pros, and you'll land one of two grand prizes. Everyone on your team will get a MacBook Pro, Final Cut Studio 2, Logic Studio, Shake, and a year's worth of One to One personal training to help you use them. Not a bad trade for one night's sleep.

Jason Loviglio
Dr. Jason Loviglio,
Hi my name is Jess Blumberg and I'm currently the associate editor at Baltimore magazine. I'm not sure if you have heard of the organization Ed2010 or not, but it's a group of magazine editors and editor-wannabes that was started in New York City. They have networking events, host panel discussions and generally offer help to those in the magazine industry. Currently, there are 20 chapters around the country, but not one in Baltimore. So I have decided to start one up.
Right now I am putting the word out there that I will be hosting events for the magazine community in Baltimore. I wanted to let communications professors at UMBC know so they can pass the word along to their students. Please encourage them that anyone interested in a magazine editing career is welcome to attend. The events would be about once every 2-3 months at a bar or restaurant in town and the purpose would be to just get to know others in the magazine community and let aspiring editors get a chance to network. Please pass this along to your students and tell them to email me if they're interested.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime.
Thanks so much!
Jess

Jason Loviglio
Dear Friends,
I write to inform you about an internship available at Cristo Rey
Jesuit. This would be a great position for a current college
upperclassman who is in the area for the summer. Katie Dumais served
as the intern last summer. She did a fantastic job, and gained
valuable experience. She was able to finish her work early enough to
take a vacation before starting up with her fall college schedule
again.
The intern will start in the beginning of the summer. His or her
primary responsibility will be to work with students' families to fill
out scholarship applications. He or she would have the opportunity to
learn about a development operation and to work directly with
families. The intern would work about 10 to 15 hours per week, during
work hours. The exact times are flexible.
For a more detailed description of the position, please feel free to
contact Jessica Wescott, Director of Development. She can be reached
at jwescott@cristoreybalt.org or (410) 727-3255, ext. 1006. Thank you
for your assistance!
Many thanks for considering this great opportunity.
