Radio Smart Talk for Thursday, November 10:

The Penn State University Board of Trustees voted unanimously to dismiss head football coach Joe Paterno and university president Graham Spanier Wednesday night -- a week after revelations in a Grand Jury presentment that neither man contacted police after hearing the story of a witness who allegedly saw former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually assaulting a ten-year-old boy.   Neither Paterno or Spanier have been charged with a crime.  Paterno reported the incident to his superior.

On Thursday's Radio Smart Talk, we'll provide the latest on this ever-changing story.

It may be hard for some to believe that there are Americans who go to bed hungry every night.  But that's the reality.   Since the bottom fell out of the economy in 2008 and unemployment increased, there are even more people who don't have enough to eat.

The state Department of Agriculture estimates that one in 10 Pennsylvanians don't know where their next meal is coming from.  Pennsylvania has reported a 44% increase in the need for food assistance since 2008, with more than 1.36 million residents now eligible for the State Food Purchase Program.  More than 2 million residents do not have the money to buy enough food for themselves or their families.

On Thursday's Radio Smart Talk, we'll look at hunger in Central Pennsylvania and what we all can do to help.
