The Daily Numbers: 2 people stabbed, and one dead after an incident in Olney. A house was set on fire, and police believe it was done to cover up the original crime.
39, that was the chilly temperature that greeted most of us when we left the house this morning. Yep, summer’s over.
1 student brutally attacked at Rowan College late Saturday. He died of his injuries on Sunday afternoon.
8 p.m., that’s the new curfew for those 17 and younger in Lower Chichester Township.

3 shootings and two more people dead on Philadelphia streets Wednesday night.
17,000 parking places at Philadelphia International Airport, and they’re planning to make it easier for those arriving there to find open spots. They’ll use new software to display where the open spots are.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
How good must it be to be a Boston fan these days? They’re getting ready to host another World Series Championship parade, the Patriots are the best football team on the planet, Boston College is No. 2 in the BCS rankings and QB Matt Ryan could win the Heisman. Next thing you’ll tell me is that the Celtics traded for Kevin Garnett in the off-season. Oh, they did? Just great.
I Don’t Get It: A 16-year-old student at McKean High School in Delaware has been charged with second-degree reckless endangering for an incident on a school bus last week. And what did he do? Set another student’s hair on fire. I don’t get it.
