12 million minutes, what the FAA says their plan will shave off delays at several airports in the Northeast.
500 people who jammed into a meeting in Ridley in May to show their opposition to the plan.
7,000 residents in Delaware County who will be exposed to increased noise under the plan.
220 students who reported for class on the first day at the new Drexel Neumann Academy in Chester.
24 hours, instead of a planned 48-hour strike by cabbies in Philadelphia. They’re ticked at a new regulation requiring them to use GPS navigation systems.
900,000 dollars, amount a fomer Penn State player has been ordered to pay a man who was thrown out a window at an off-campus frat house in 2001. Better keep that in mind if you’re headed to Happy Valley for what should be one of the all-time party weekends in school history as Notre Dame comes to town.
15 years in the slammer, what a man served who is now being charged with murder in the death of a Philadelphia police officer. He says he should not be held responsible for the officer’s death 41 years later of an infection that doctors say was related to the shooting.
1 billion dollars, what Gov. Ed Rendell says he can raise by privatizing the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Now he’s again taking bids for proposals to do just that.
349 bucks, what you can now expect to pay for an old-style iPod, now being called iPod classic.
3 days until the Eagles kick off their season in Green Bay against the Packers.
5 innings and change for Phils starter Kyle Kendrick, who was then lifted by Manager Charlie Manuel. We all know what happened then. Can you say implosion?

I Don’t Get It (with apologies to Jack McCaffery): Guess what there is now a shortage of among law enforcement types? Bullets. That’s right, ammo is apparently increasing in short supply. Does that make you feel more safe?
*
Today’s Upper: No shortage in the outpouring of support for injured Parkside firefighters Dan Brees and Chase Frost. Delco police and firemen are planning a huge fund-raiser in October. We salute their efforts.

Quote Box: "It is now clear the FAA did not listen to our concerns."
