Terror and Detention, Bird Flight Origin, Will and Jane

Terror, Detention and Torture under President Trump Guest: Ryan Vogel, Professor of National Security, Foreign Policy and the Law of Armed Conflict, Founding Director of the Center for National Security Studies, Utah Valley University As President-elect, Trump works to fill his cabinet, four of the 15 positions are directly related to national security issues – State, Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security. His picks to fill those posts will give us a clearer indication of how closely President Trump will align with “Candidate Trump” on issues such as how the US will target, detain and interrogate suspected terrorists and how far the nation will go to monitor communication of American citizens.  Origin of Flight in Birds Guest: Michael Habib, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Research Associate in the Dinosaur Institute at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History A region in Southern China has become a hotspot for dinosaur discoveries: in the last five years, half a dozen bird-like dinos have been unearthed there. The latest was found by construction workers building a new school. The name they gave it translates into: “Muddy dragon on the road to heaven” and it appears to have perished after getting stuck in the mud. It has a beak, a crest on its head, wings and feathers. But scientists say it probably couldn’t fly.  Three Things Effective Bosses Do Guest: Kathryn Shaw, PhD, Ernest C. Arbuckle Professor of Economics, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University TV comedies are riddled with bad bosses: Michael Scott from The Office, Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation, for example. We love to laugh at their terrible ideas, or their disinterest in being ‘good’ at their job.  But what makes a good boss? Is it the one who gets to know the names of your kids or brings treats to the office or makes motivational speeches in staff meetings?
