The Daily Numbers: 30,000 people who lost power in the region last night as high winds whipped the area. Most are back on line this morning.
50 mph wind gusts recorded in Wilmington yesterday. Trees and power lines were down all over the region.
90 degree heat, what a Community Service worker was toiling in lifting cinderblocks when he was felled. His family is now suing the county.
1 Penn-Delco School Board member who has entered a plea in all the shenanigans that have gone on in the district. That would be John Green. He pleaded no contest yesterday to an ethics violation. Still to come are former board President Keith Crego and Superintendent Leslye Abrutyn.
75,000 the amount believed swindled from his grandparents by a Ridley man. Jason Metzger waived his preliminary hearing and now faces trial.
11,465 the attendance at last night’s Sixers game. That probably has as much to do with Billy King’s exit as their dismal record. No one cares, let alone goes to the games.
140 racing dates granted to Harrah’s Chester Casino and Racetrack by the state Horse Racing Commission for the 2008 season. The track plans to run from April 20-Dec. 18.
6 percent pay cut in the works for top execs at the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
12 hour shifts, what’s getting the blame for workers at the Peach Bottom nuclear facility falling asleep on the job.
5 Flyers who have now been nailed with suspensions by the NHL because of nasty hits. The latest is Riley Cote, who will now sit for 3 games.
64 yards, length of Brian Westbrook’s thrilling punt return that nearly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat Sunday. Unfortunately the Eagles needed 78 yards. He got run out of bounds at the 14. He didn’t see the ball again.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Welcome back to Delco legend Ed Stefanski. The Drexel Hill native and Monsignor Bonner star and coach will be named today as the new GM of the Sixers.

I Don’t Get It: There were some people out there yesterday in 50-mph wind gusts trying to rake leaves. Uh, folks, not going to work.
*
Today’s Upper: Those in the know believe Chester native Danny Murtaugh likely will get into the Baseball Hall of Fame during the next voting. He missed out again this weekend. It will be long overdue.
