You following the primaries?

-Yeah. Hillary Clinton's not
man enough to be president.

-And this Obama guy is?
[Laughs]

-Jenn, meet Beau,
our senior vice president.

-Pleasure, pleasure.

-Happy Birthday.

-It's not for
a couple more days, but thanks.

-I know you
from your college-football days.

I spent some time
in the Bay Area.

You were quite a thing
at Stanford.

-Making me sound like
a has-been.

-[Chuckles]
No, that's not what I meant.

-Oh, my God.
I could've gone pro.

- Yeah?
- Football or baseball.

Edward offered me more, so...

-Whoa, is that the iPhone?

-I got mine, too.

-Uh, this is a prototype.

Not your ordinary iPhone.

Gift from Edward.
- Ooh, wow.

I hope to anticipate

-No.

But my models do.

-How'd you get into that?

-Do you really want to know?

Bees. [Chuckles]

-Bees?
Like honeybees?

-My thesis was on how bee
colony collapse disorder

would cr*pple California's
almond production.

Turns out, it did.

-Hm.

That's similar
to what I'm studying.

Being around winemakers
and viticulturists

got me thinking
about sustainability,

which eventually made me
take an interest in water.

That's my concentration.

- Water.
- So what happened to the bees?

-They vanished.

-What do you mean, vanished?

Like, died?

-No. No, vanished.

Like, uh, nobody knows.

-And you didn't try
to figure it out?

-Well, that's not what my models
are programmed to do.

Uh, like... like you,
I-I study ecosystems.

Our Earth is
. billion years old.

So we can
gather inferential data

based on
what's happened before.

Then I... then I program
the algorithms

based on these findings,
and they... they learn

from their environments.

So they're adaptive.
They... They... They...

They can be applied to...
To most anything.

But they're...

-Do you see Murdoch

as taking a different approach
withThe Wall Street Journal,

which, of course, is a very
different kind of newspaper

than theNew York Post?
- Well, I think it should be

noted that his brand
of revitalization

with theNew York Post
includes it losing

tens of millions of dollars.

So News Corp is big enough
to absorb the losses

that he has, uh, with...
With theNew York Post

and the... the losses he had
for many years

with Fox News Corporation.

I mean, what we've seen from
Murdoch's news properties,

for example, just watching
Fox News within the last year,

we've learned that Mark Foley
is a Democrat,

Barack Obama went to a madrasa,

and there were weapons
of mass destruction in Iraq.

I think he has a broader agenda
to try to really degrade

the idea of news,
degrade reporting,

and degrade journalism
so that journalism stands

at the same level as the kind
of political message,

political propaganda he likes
to push through his properties.

-Well, the thing
about Mark Foley

being a Democrat was a mistake,
and we all make mistakes...

[Mosquito buzzing]

...in that taped interview,
is there a positive side

to Murdoch taking over
The Wall Street Journal

because he's going to pour
money into it.

-[Breathing deeply]

-This at a time when...

[Thunk]
[Mosquito buzzing]

...buying out
or laying off employees.

-Well, I think the hope
is that Rupert Murdoch

not only will put more money
intoThe Journal,

but that he'll also
leverage that brand.

[Indistinct talking on TV]

-Hey, everyone,
and welcome to

a special edition
of "This Week."

We're here
at Drake University

for the first debate
of this presidential campaign.

All nine Republican candidates
for president

are with us,
and let's get right to them.

And here, the front-runner
at %, Mitt Romney,

former governor
of Massachusetts.

Former mayor of New York,
Rudy Giuliani's next at %.

Mike Huckabee, former governor
of Arkansas, is at %.

Also at %, Senator John McCain
of Arizona.

Kansas Senator Sam Brownback
is at %.

-The word "mosquito" derives
from the Spanish word,

"little fly."

The mosquito's life-span
depends on a few factors...

Temperature, humidity, sex,
and time of year.

For mosquitoes to thrive,
they need an environment

with a sustained
water supply,

feeding hosts...
Nectar or honeydew,

from which
they can extract sugar.

The mosquito goes through
four stages of development...

The egg, the larva,
the pupa,

and, finally,
the adult mosquito,

also known as the imago.

The female mosquito has
a syringe-like proboscis

that is used to puncture
the skin of its host,

which it uses to obtain protein
to produce eggs.

This is known
as the blood meal.

is an arms race.

-If it is, then we are the
U.S. of f*cking A, my friend.

-What I'm talking about
is a cascading ripple

that could destabilize
the entire market.

And if there's a fire...

No. Whenthere was a fire,
