While much of the country struggles to emerge from a recession, California’s Silicon Valley is booming, and technology companies like Facebook, Skype, and Apple are seeing their valuations soar. CNN’s Soledad O’Brien profiles a unique technology-focused “accelerator” – a collaborative of African-American start-up founders with Internet-based businesses developed to help diversify the technology sector. Eight participants – strangers – lived together for nine weeks in a modest, three-bedroom house in Mountain View, CA, were mentored, worked on their business proposals, and pitched for venture capital funding. Viewers see their journey, learn who secured funding to develop their Web-based companies – and who is still waiting.

GERRY-RIGGED: WHY YOUR VOTE FOR CONGRESS MIGHT NOT MATTER – Airs Sunday 8:00PM-9:00PM, 11:00PM, 2:00AM
In the last decade, almost 4 out of every 5 seats in Congress remained in the same party’s hands. The consequence is gridlock with little reason for compromise on either side as long as voters have no realistic say on who stays in office. CNN investigative correspondent Drew Griffin describes how political parties engage in “gerrymandering,” drawing odd-shaped districts – with voters from one party or the other, essentially designed to retain incumbents. Redistricting happens once a decade—this is the year. Will the system change? Probably not. Who loses? Voters.
