This Month on Dialogue
WUOT's monthly live call-in program. Hosted by a member of WUOT's News Staff. This month, we'll talk about how manufacturing is changing and what Tennessee needs to do to keep up. Since 2001, Tennessee has lost more than 170,000 manufacturing jobs. But now a lot of the state's manufacturers say they've got the jobs - they just don't have enough skilled workers to fill them. Our guests are manufacturing and workforce development consultant George Cooper of Development Concepts and Teri Brahams, executive director of business and commercial services at Pellissippi State.To participate, call in or visit us on Facebook. 865-974-5050.
Wednesday, April 4, at 1 p.m.
Studio 865/Flipside
WUOT's monthly program featuring local music and musicians. Host: Todd Steed

FROM THE NATIONAL DESKS
James Cameron: Diving Deep, Dredging Up Titanic "They don't call it the Challenger Deep for nothing," Cameron tells NPR's Renee Montagne. "Because the idea is that if you can go to the deepest spot in the ocean, you can go anywhere in the ocean." Seven miles down in the ocean, Cameron says, you enter a world of darkness and extreme pressure, like "a train car sitting on your thumbnail." http://www.npr.org/2012/03/30/149635287/james-cameron-diving-deep-dredging-up-titanic

Neuroscientists Battle Furiously Over Jennifer Aniston Think of Jennifer, or as we like to call her, "Jen." Jen of the dazzling smile, Jen of the gorgeous chin, Jen with her hair down, Jen tousled, Jen as Rachel, Jen with Brad; Jen without Brad, Jen with Vince, Jen at the Oscars, and, of course, Jen as a neuron in the medial part of the temporal lobe. http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2012/03/30/149685880/neuroscientists-battle-furiously-over-jennifer-aniston
