SYNOPSIS: As the debut story in the Bloodthirsty saga, "One Nation Under Water" follows Virgil LaFleur, a Cajun/Creole Coast Guard veteran discharged with post-traumatic stress after the flood. Having saved dozens of lives – but losing his parents – in the wake of the storm, Virgil has grown bitter and depressed. He is planning to leave New Orleans forever when the story begins. His younger brother's mysterious murder, however, sucks Virgil back into a vortex of intrigue, corruption, and revenge as he becomes obsessed with bringing the killers to justice.
Along the way, Virgil uncovers a ring of corrupt disaster capitalists led by local biotech mogul Simon Wolfinger. He and his followers share a common trait – extreme longevity – provided by a very expensive injection. The one nasty side effect of this "treatment" is a perpetual dependence on the consumption of human blood.
Virgil discovers that these "hemovores" have been feeding off of the blood of New Orleans' poor and homeless citizens. Now with a new storm coming - Hurricane Rose - Virgil must choose to either evacuate New Orleans forever, or stay and become the hero that the city so desperately needs.
THIS MACHINE KILLS PLUTOCRATS: That phrase is a steal from the famous slogan on Woody Guthrie's guitar, "This machine kills fascists," except in the case of Bloodthirsty, we are dealing specifically with villains determined to rule on the basis of wealth. And not just good old-fashioned American sweat-earned greenbacks; our villains are trafficking in human blood. They harvest it and sell it for consumption.
I wanted to tell a story that articulated the rage that many of us have felt in the wake of the financial crisis, which - to me - has its roots...no...its DNA in the exact brand of cronyism, greed, and classism that has plagued our country for generations. Having grown up in Louisiana, I have witnessed how incredibly difficult corruption, cronyism, and greed can make life for countless hard-working, law-abiding citizens. And as a writer, it is my one and only job to speak up by crafting a story that is both entertaining and meaningful. I believe I've done that, and I hope you agree (or at least give it a chance). The human problems that created the disasters of the financial crisis and the bungled mess of Katrina still exist, and if we as a nation don't come together and solve them, history will repeat itself.
Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor. ― Thomas Jefferson
SATIRE: The driving force behind this story - as with any satire - is to explore (and in our case, to condemn) human greed, excesses, and corruption. While the story isn't necessarily true in its facts (people aren't actually living off the blood of the poor), it's "the lie that tells the truth," which is to say that the message of refusing to allow a small number of predatory elites to parasitically horde wealth and control, is one that is worthy of telling.
In the following clip, Georges and I elaborate a bit more about our feelings on storytelling, and on being inspired - by the negative sides of human nature - to respond artistically.
FALLING, AND GETTING BACK UP: I wanted Virgil to start out as a fallen hero. He's a man who did miraculous things to save so many people after the storm (as did so many brave men and women of the Coast Guard), but he himself - in his own way - became a victim of the storm. He was traumatized to the point of becoming deathly afraid of water, so he can no longer do what he believes he was born to do - rescue people. He has horrible, debilitating nightmares and flashbacks that threaten his ability to get through the day.
But tragedy has a way of showing us our purpose, and the tragic loss of Virgil's brother shows him his. If even one person is inspired by Virgil and his journey to regain hope, then the story will have been successful.
WHO DAT?: Meet the people responsible for bringing this story life.
WRITER: I'm Mark Landry, the creator of Bloodthirsty, and writer of "One Nation Under Water." I grew up in Louisiana, graduated from LSU, and moved to Los Angeles to study storytelling at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. I've had the humbling honor of working for Lucasfilm, Nickelodeon, The Disney Channel, and others. Teen Beach Movie, which I co-wrote, premieres this July on The Disney Channel.
ARTIST: When my fiancé discovered Ashley Marie Witter's stunning and unique style in Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire: Claudia's Story graphic novel, I was blown away. I contacted Ashley, told her about Bloodthirsty, and she immediately responded to the story and its themes. Without hesitation, she signed on to illustrate all eight issues and their covers.
Ashley is a true professional artist/illustrator. She is currently working with Yen Press (for which she illustrated Interview with the Vampire: Claudia's Story). She has a degree in Animation and Conceptual Development, and has worked on the webcomics Reign of Adeodatus and Scorch, and contributed to a comics anthology called Gothology: The Eternal Sad by DAPshow. She grew up in Madison, Wisconsin and currently lives in the north-west suburbs of Chicagoland.
Here is what Georges had to say about her work:
You can see some examples of Ashley's character design work on Bloodthirsty below. The first group features: Dr. Andrea Yoshimi, who becomes Virgil's ally (and potential romantic interest) in their fight against the evils infecting the city; Simon Wolfinger, the power-hungry disaster profiteer determined to harvest the blood of the city's poor; and Mary, the lab assistant who unwittingly contributes to the death of Virgil's brother Trey.
The next set features a group of hemovore prostitutes called the "Hell's Belles," who lure victims to their beds, and then drain them of their blood. Their pimp - Mother Taneesha - rules her brothel with ruthless authority; she answers only to her off-the-books boss, Simon Wolfinger.
Below is Dante, a street artist who paints fleur de lis on the side of buildings downtown. His parents went missing a couple of years ago, and Virgil - in his quest - discovers how they met their grisly demise.
MENTOR: To mentor the project, I sought the expertise of Eisner-winning comics veteran Georges Jeanty, who draws Joss Whedon's hit Buffy: The Vampire Slayer comics. I had been a fan of his miniseries, The American Way, which dealt with issues of racism in a 1960s government-run superhero team. When I found out that Georges lived nearby, I reached out to him and pitched him the story for "One Nation Under Water." Luckily, he totally dug it. He has been an invaluable resource and an endless font of knowledge and encouragement ever since. This book would not be the same without him guiding me to stay true to the heart this story.
I read tons of comics, and this is the kind of comic book story I really want to read. - Georges Jeanty
Georges discusses "The American Way" and the emotional potential of the comics medium in the following clip:
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP: "One Nation Under Water" is an 8-issue/chapter miniseries (or graphic novel). I have set this Kickstarter goal to cover the costs of art and printing for the first 4 issues, which I am calling Volume 1. Ashley is a talented up-and-coming artist, and (as one who has struggled to make his living in the arts) I can't ask her to toil and create her amazing work for free - it would be impossible. Much of the funds raised by this campaign will go toward paying her a decent wage as she pencils, inks, and colors every page with care. The rest will go toward printing the book.
As the writer/producer of this project, I receive zero dollars from the budget. Every cent of this campaign's budget goal (and stretch goals) is allocated to art, to printing, and to supporter rewards.
WHAT YOU GET IN RETURN: By supporting this project, you of course will receive the rewards on the right side of the screen. But more importantly, you will be contributing to the idea that we need to do better in this country, and that each and every one of us - in some way - can be a hero to our communities.
- THE BOOK - VOLUME 1 (Issues 1-4), 88 pages:
- SWAG: Fleur de Lis Stickers, Stencils, and Bloodthirsty Bookmarks:
- ORIGINAL ART: Some pledge levels include pieces of original artwork by me, Mark Landry (that's right, the writer). ;) I'll let everyone know when/if artwork by other artists gets added.
- 50% of goal BONUS: Once we reach the halfway point, I'll schedule a conference call, in which you can ask questions, get advice on your own book, on writing, on assembling a Kickstarter project etc. Due to bandwidth constraints, this bonus is limited to the first 50 supporters at the $20 level and above.
- 100% of goal BONUS: Once we reach our goal, I'll release an AWESOME POSTER by Ashley Marie Witter (For all supporters at $20 and up).
UNLOCK THE SECOND HALF OF THE STORY: As I said, this campaign only pays for the first half (Issues 1-4, or Volume 1) of the story. To raise the rest, I have illustrated stretch goals below, each one unlocking another chapter until all 8 issues are funded. If all 8 get funded, then all rewards that include Volume 1 will automatically be upgraded to include the entire story arc (Volumes 1 and 2). That's 176 gorgeous pages worth! Please SPREAD THE WORD to your family, friends, and co-workers so that we can tell the entire tale in one glorious book.
The more you share this project, the more people will support it. As the issues are unlocked, the padlocks in the graphic below will disappear to reflect our progress.
SPREAD THE WORD: Please spread the word to your family and friends by liking and sharing on Facebook, and following Mark on Twitter.
WANT TO SUPPORT US, BUT CAN'T DONATE RIGHT NOW?: I know times are tough. There are dozens of great projects on Kickstarter that I would love to support, if only I had unlimited funds. If you like what we're doing, and our message, but just can't support it with a donation, no worries. Spreading the word is invaluable. Just for sharing on Facebook or Twitter, I'm offering this cover image for mobile phones. If you would like to use it, just right click, save the image, send it to your phone, and set it as your phone's background/wallpaper (in your choice of black or white):
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?: I have tried to craft a Kickstarter campaign that makes sense, and that offers the best rewards I could come up with (within financial reason). Again, none of the budgeted funds are allocated to me; they all go to art, printing, and reward fulfillment. But just as nobody is perfect, I imagine there will be components of the rewards or the campaign that are bound to confuse someone out there. Please feel free to use the "contact me" feature that Kickstarter provides to pose a question. I will do my best to answer, or even take your suggestion on how to improve the campaign. Thank you again for taking the time to see what this book is all about. Best of luck in your own creative endeavors.

SPECIAL THANKS: Some kind individuals have already backed the project with their generous time and attention, going far beyond any commitment I could ever expect of them. This project would not have reached this phase without them. My deepest gratitude goes to Robin Potts, Georges Jeanty, Chris Fortier, Vance Kotrla, Peter Samet, Jeff Roedel, Kyle Crane, Steve Lawrence, and Ashlie Maczko. To others who have read drafts and provided feedback, I thank you. Your names, along with those who contribute to this campaign, will be listed on the website and in the book.

Risks and challenges
Every project has its risks and challenges, and every effective project manager employs mitigation strategies. As a former project management consultant, I know what it takes to bring a project across the finish line on time and on budget. As a professional screenwriter, I always deliver the right story on time.
In terms of physical production, I have signed Ashley Marie Witter on for all eight issues. This ensures consistency in the look and feel of the stunning images that this story will deliver to you, its readers. Printing for this Kickstarter campaign has been budgeted into the goals, after careful research and number crunching from several vendor quotes.

Easy Going and Active
Originally from Chicago, I moved to Dallas in 2006. I studied political science and speech communications at the University of Illinois. I work as an account manager for a fuel rewards marketing software company and love my job. I'm laid back, self motivated, active, and always enjoy a little friendly competition, but don't worry, it's nothing you can't handle. People should continue to challenge one another in hopes to make each other better. In my free time I like to work out, play sports, watch movies, listen to music, spend time with my family and friends, and occasionally you will find me on the sofa catching up on some of my favorite tv shows. In a woman I am looking for someone who will ultimately be my best friend. Someone who will take part in my interests, but will also share her interests with me as I am always up to trying something new. Ideally, she will be close to her family, have a good heart, a sense of humor, appreciate the little things, be confident, and not afraid to go after what she wants. I am looking to have a good time with good people and enjoy life. But don't take my word for it. Lets chat and begin to know each other.

Raymond Basili
Marriage & Family Therapist
"Marriage and Family Therapists are relationship specialists, a distinguishing feature that leads to regarding the entire family as a unit of treatment and emphasizes such factors as relationships and communication patterns rather than traits or symptoms in individual members. In family systems, the family is viewed as a living organism that is more than the sum of its individual members. All family members are evaluated in terms of their position or role within the system. Problems are treated by changing the way the system works rather than trying to 'fix' a specific member.

"I have been working in the Mental Health field for the past 20 years. It has given me the opportunity to grow professionally and personally while helping others. Some consider this a difficult field, but for me the key to success has been the provision of emotional support and respect.I believe in positive change when one is given the opportunity to cry, laugh and express their truthful feelings in a professional and safe environment. That is the door to self acceptance and the beginning of the journey that leads to change.

"I am a caring and compassionate listener. My style is open, relational and collaborative. It is important to me to provide an environment that is safe and non-judgemental, where a person can develop a sense of trust and well-being.
I believe the most effective therapy centers on the connection between client and therapist. In collaborating together, we take a deeply personal journey, exploring possibilities and facing what has been difficult. My goal is to help my client heal and guide them toward increased self knowledge, emotional comfort and relationship satisfaction.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 062329 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 529 PM CST Fri Mar 6 2015 .DISCUSSION... Issued at 345 PM CST FRI MAR 6 2015 The main takeaway for the next week is a prolonged period of above normal temperatures and generally dry conditions. Just an honorable mention by the NAM and GFS for some light rain Sunday evening. Main challenge will be just how warm can it get. Today, is a prime example as gusty southwesterly winds tapped into the much drier and warmer air above the 925mb level. Northwest flow aloft from the Rockies through the Great Lakes will continue for most of the forecast period. A fast moving clipper type system will zip through the Upper MS Valley and western Great Lakes later tonight and Saturday morning. An attendant cold front will swing into northern MO Saturday morning but the cold air will lag the frontal passage. Pronounced westerly downslope flow will dominate the CWA except over the far northeastern CWA. Inspection of the this mornings 12z soundings indicated we mixed air from above the 925mb level, resulting in upward adjustments being made to the high temperatures. In addition, upstream temperatures from central NE through central KS reached the lower/middle 60s. Don`t think we will see as much mixing on Saturday but that westerly downslope flow favors raising max temperatures for Saturday. While there are some model differences in the evolution of the above noted cold front the general idea is the boundary will stall close to the southern border of the CWA Saturday evening then drift northward before shifting southward again Sunday afternoon/evening. So, high temperatures may be a bit tricky on Sunday, especially over northern MO. In addition, the NAM/GFS drag some light precipitation across IA and northern MO Sunday evening although the ECWMF keeps it further north. Will leave forecast dry for now and wait for additional model continuity with later runs. After a minor cool down on Monday envision warm air advection sending temperatures back into the 60s for the rest of the forecast. Could even see a few 70 degree readings on Wednesday. However, it appears the main h8 thermal ridge will be forced further north through NE and IA in response to a storm system over the Gulf of Mexico lifting northward. This system could eventually lift the precipitation shield into the CWA but have low confidence currently but worth monitoring. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday Evening) Issued at 525 PM CST FRI MAR 6 2015 Expecting VFR conditions through the next 24 hours forecast period. There are some minor wind shear concerns for tonight as surface winds will be SW around 5 to 10 kts with winds around 1000 feet out of the west around 40 kts. Have left the wind shear out of the forecast for now, but will take another look at it for the 06z forecast. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && $$ DISCUSSION...MJ AVIATION...Leighton

"Dude! Did you forget to turn the camera on again?!"
"No, it's rolling, you idiot! Go!"
"Hi, I'm Jason Binx and this is my...friend, Greg Walsh, and we are currently in the haunted 'Massacre Manor'. Now it's been said, that almost fifty years ago, the old man who lived here, Will Saxton, threw a huge dinner party and invited loads of guests...but the thing is, none of those guests ever left. Saxton had murdered every last one of them."
Greg coughed, shaking the camera a tad, so I gave him a dirty look, then continued.
" By the time the cops arrived, half the house had been burned down, and Saxton had already hung himself. I found alot of pictures of the bodies and crap at the library so turn the camera off really quick while i get them out."
Greg obeyed, letting out an annoyed grunt, as I opened my bag and shined the flashlight i had in my hand into it.
The pictures were stored safely in a thick, white, and worn envelope that i had taken from my mom's office back home. I carefully opened the envelope and pulled out the gruesome pictures from inside. There were probably about six or so in my hand and each one sent a chilling shock up my spine.
"Ok, ready." Greg turned the camera back on and I began again.
"Ok, so here are a few photos taken by the cops at the scene of the crime." I picked up the first one to reveal five mangled bodies twisted up like pretzels in a large jacuzzi bathtub completely caked in drying blood. The next two pictues were about the same, with more slaughtered people and buckets of blood. Almost gory enough to be in a horror movie.
But it was the last three that really got to me.
"They found Saxton hanging from the chandelier, with a face that some cops reported 'still gave them terrible nightmares'." He had died with his eyes wide open so in every single photograph of him, it looked like he was staring directly at you. As I looked down at one of the pictures, I felt like I was nearly falling into his cold black eyes. My whole body felt like ice and my mind went totally blank. His eyes...were pulling me in...They were calling me...calling me- No, begging me to hurt, and to strangle, and to mur-
"Hey Binx! You still alive in there?" Greg was frantically waving his hand in front of my face. I pushed it away slowly.
"Yeah. I geuss I just sort of blacked out there, for a second." I let out a nervous laugh then started to pick up the pictures that were scattered like decaying leaves on the dusty floor. "Is the camera still rolling?"
"Yeah, I didn't know what to do, so I just left it on," he said quickly.
I grumbled.
" Well then, I geuss we'll have to edit some of that out later."
He nodded , then I put all the pictures into the envelope and back into my bag. We both stood up, and Greg positioned the camera so that it was angled on me again.
"Now that we've told you the story , how does a tour of the massacre manor, where nearly sixty-five people were brutally murdered, sound?"
Not that I was scared or anything,(maybe just a little) but I was really glad that we had decided to do this thing during the day.
By the time we were done around the house and pointing out all the historical spots, it was already growing dark outside. I nudged Greg, who was going over our video again, and whispered in his ear, "Shouldn't we start heading out now?" He grumbled, then turned his back to me.

Great product! just finished painting the house and needed a new/updated funky mailbox.....this IS it! Other reviews noted lack of hardware a problem, I didn't think that was true as it gave me an opportunity to "tweak" it to my specific siding. Besides, if you own a home you have lots of wood screws in your collection!! It is absolutely awesome! Even my mail carrier was impressed! Cost was equivalent to tacky cheap offerings at "the big box store" so it was a no brainer!

Pool Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
An item of recent interest, given the difficult economic climate is our European business. It helps for perspective to note that Europe represents 6% of our total sales and 2% of our profits. Despite all the bad press regarding the European economy, our base business sales in Europe were down only 3.6% through June in local currency, versus an 11% increase in the first half of 2011, as we continuously and gradually increase market share.
Just like in North America, our share gains are earned through superior execution based on our investments in talent management, development, technology, marketing, and altogether, combined with the outstanding commitment of our people.
Another item of interest has been our Green business, that for perspective, represents 7% of our total sales and has suffered as that market declined by more than 60% from peak levels with the collapse of new residential constructions. While new construction appears to have stabilized, the progressive actions taken by our team have translated into solid sales and share gains and a solid Green bottom line in 2012.
Mark will fill you in on our expenses, receivables and inventories, but my one word summary of these is, solid.
Our base business addendum also serves to identify that, both in the quarter and year-to-date, our recent acquisitions are coming along well with a modest profit contribution. It's important in these cases to recognize both the members of the acquired entities for their openness to a new culture, as well as those involved with the integration of those entities who commit long hours to ensuring a seamless transition.

Spectral self-imaging of time-periodic coherent frequency combs by parabolic cross-phase modulation |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 23, pp. 28824-28835 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1261 KB)
Integer and fractional spectral self-imaging effects are induced on infinite-duration periodic frequency combs (probe signal) using cross-phase modulation (XPM) with a parabolic pulse train as pump signal. Free-spectral-range tuning (fractional effects) or wavelength-shifting (integer effects) of the frequency comb can be achieved by changing the parabolic pulse peak power or/and repetition rate without affecting the spectral envelope shape and bandwidth of the original comb. For design purposes, we derive the complete family of different pump signals that allow implementing a desired spectral self-imaging process. Numerical simulation results validate our theoretical analysis. We also investigate the detrimental influence of group-delay walk-off and deviations in the nominal temporal shape or power of the pump pulses on the generated output frequency combs.

November 26, 2013
By Oliver Patton
With the House and Senate going to conference on a Water Resources Development bill, the way is clear for transportation committees in both chambers to take up reauthorization of the federal highway program.
The program must be reauthorized by October 2014, and there's much work to be done.
Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, recently said his goal is to complete a draft highway bill by next spring or summer.
He wants this to be a bipartisan effort, like the Water Resources Development Act, he said in remarks to a gathering of transportation interests sponsored by the American Highway Users Alliance and Volvo Group.
WRDA, whose final details are being negotiated by conferees from the House and Senate, cleared the House by 417-3 and the Senate by 83-14. The bill is seen as an example of how Congress can get some things done despite the divisive political atmosphere in Washington.
It will be more difficult to find common ground on funding for the highway bill, however.
The Highway Trust Fund will run dry by 2015 unless Congress either severely limits reinvestment in infrastructure or increases revenues into the Fund.
It's a problem Congress kicked down the road when it wrote the 2012 bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century. The funding for that bill was cobbled together from a number of one-time sources and there is strong consensus among highway users and some legislators that the next bill has to include adequate long-term funding.
Shuster acknowledged the challenge.
"We will not ignore the funding issue, but I think it's important that we need to build the case," he said. "We need to make sure that the American people know there's a problem."
He urged his audience to take part in getting that message out to the public, but warned that the message should not lead with need for more revenue.
"If we lead talking about funding, I think that diminishes the case," he said. "I encourage you all not to lead with funding, but lead with examples. Explain the problem to the American people and it will happen, I believe."

Flora, previous comment, we get enough spam in our e-mail. Cut it OUT here!
We run our entire ranch 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with freezers, refrigerators, washing machines, computers, and electric lights, and there is no power line to our location. We have roof top solar panels, home scale wind generators, and a battery bank. The technology we use could be replicated on any home anywhere in Arizona, without power plants, transmission lines, or further environmental destruction.
This Sunzia project is just another example of the corporate state buying the political influence they need to make mega millions and never pay the environmental cost.
Distributed local power production is the democratic and sustainable way to power the future. Centralized corporate utilities are a dinosaur of the past. Power to the People.
Who are these people who supposedly don't think women are funny?
I'm a man and I think funny women are funny. But the constant references to "people" who say "women aren't funny" may become a self fulfilling prophecy.
Regarding salaries for UA faculty and staff, that used to be discoverable online and at the campus library.
What is the source of these statistics? I'm not disputing them-- just curious as to the original source.
"...tuition and fees for in-state students has increased 188 percent in the last decade, merely 24 percent of the UA's budget is spent on instruction..."
"... University of Phoenix, which (spends) only 12 percent on instruction..."
6 already. They know I love it and still they hit it. What would really make these clowns sick is if they knew that me and Tom actually get along rather well. We don't agree on much, but we do get along. When his kids went to N.Y. last December, who did he turn to for advice on places for them to eat and places to visit ? Yep.
I feel so secure being represented by Miss McSally.
ON the UA campus? I think not. I wish so, however.
Lucky enough to have gone last year. Absolutely fantastic.
If they serve up homemade pickles like in the photo, I'll be there!
I'm a not all the way to the right republican, I think we would have been better off in the long run with Mr. Barber. The Col. is interested in only one person. Old Pueblo Independent's post above pretty much nails it.
Martha is apparently still waiting to be told how she plans to vote on this. This must be that leadership stuff she said she's good at.
Super dope article! Looking toward to this event. I'd love to see more local hip hop content in the weekly.
Looking forward to this event. Id love to see more hip hop coverage by the weekly on a local level.
Actually, as a frequent visitor to county buildings, I am struck by the number of health related activities that are promoted for county employees and have been for many years. I also frequently see support staff doing daily walks during their breaks throughout the parking garage. There is a weight watchers group for county employees. EAP is also advertised to assist employees with a variety of issues. I think this is all good stuff that the county is providing at little cost already. Glad to see it.

I am a taxpayer so it's beyond ignorant to say that there is anybody that doesn't have a stake in this. We all benefit from jobs as long as the educated stay here to earn the money.
A bigger problem may actually be the city and county voters that don't hold elected officials to any performance standard to seek and retain employment opportunities for their citizenry.
There are many viable reasons that citizens now detest their governments for what they DON'T accomplish. It's much different than what they promise.

Hollywood couple Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have been left stunned and shaken by a new family tree study - after discovering they are distant cousins.
RELATED: Surprising Celeb Relatives
The pair teamed up with top genealogist Henry Louis Gates, Jr. for new TV special "Finding Your Roots" and he reveals they were not exactly thrilled with what they dug up.
The historian explains, "It turns out they share two things -- they both are descendants from people who owned slaves, and they are indeed distant cousins."
And they weren't the only celebrities shocked by findings from the past on the show -- crooner Harry Connick, Jr. discovered he had Confederate ancestors while "Iron Man" star Robert Downey, Jr. learned there was a gruesome murder in his family history.
RELATED: Year in Review: Stars Are Nothing Like Us
Gates, Jr. adds, "We don't have any prior agreements with anyone (over what could be disclosed), and we just did the stories. We have a team of genealogists. We have different genealogists for different people -- some are more expert on African-Americans, some on Jewish people, some on Ashkenazi-Jewish people, some on Asian people. But whatever we find, we try to boil it down to three or four narrative arcs."
Continues Gates, Jr. "(We discovered) Robert Downey, Jr., two generations back ... (there was) a murder in his family. He had no idea. I'm getting him reading the headlines from the New York Times about the murder of these ancestors. Harry Connick, Jr. did not want to know he had Confederate ancestors, I'm sure. We tell them (stars) and it's a total surprise."

Blow-dry bars are reminiscent of an old-fashioned beauty parlor, where ladies would go to have their hair washed and set each week. This incarnation attracts women with all hair types, but the core customer is someone with long, thick locks who wants a just-groomed look, not necessarily pin straight, but sleek and smooth with volume and fullness. The salons don't cut or color hair; they simply wash, dry and style it. WSJ's Elizabeth Holmes tells us about her trip to a blow-dry bar. Download MP3

As districts look to save money by going paperless outside the classroom, the digital push is picking up steam. WSJ's Molly Baker tells parents how to take their hovering to the World Wide Web.

Racial Mixing and HIV Risk Among Men Who Have Sex with Men

Get AccessAbstract
We conducted a cross-sectional survey of MSM using a time-location-sampling design in San Francisco during 2007–2008. The investigation focused on the selection of sexual partners, partner preferences, perceptions of HIV risk, and social mixing with respect to race/ethnicity. The sample of 1,142 MSM was 56% White, 22% Latino, 14% Asian, and 9% Black and reported on 3,532 sexual partnerships. Black MSM had a significant, three-fold higher level of same race sexual partnering than would be expected by chance alone (i.e., in the absence of selective forces with respect to race among partners). Black MSM were reported as the least preferred as sexual partners, believed at higher risk for HIV, counted less often among friends, were considered hardest to meet, and perceived as less welcome at the common venues that cater to gay men in San Francisco by other MSM. Our findings support the hypothesis that the sexual networks of Black MSM, constrained by the preferences and attitudes of non-Blacks and the social environment, are pushed to be more highly interconnected than other groups with the potential consequence of more rapid spread of HIV and a higher sustained prevalence of infection. The racial disparity in HIV observed for more than a decade will not disappear until the challenges posed by a legacy of racism towards Blacks in the US are addressed.
