The Daily Numbers: 2 brand new high schools to be built by the Philadelphia Archdiocese in Montgomery and Bucks counties.
65 million bucks, the price tag for each of the new schools.
800 people who gathered last night to honor new Cardinal John P. Foley, a native of Sharon Hill, as he was inducted into the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Hall of Fame. Also tapped was longtime Delco educator Robert Palestini.
10 miles, Cardinal Justin Rigali stated his position that he wants a high school within that diameter for every Catholic in the archdiocese.
6 students who suffered minor injuries when a bus was involved in a five-vehicle collision in the Lawncrest section of Philadelphia Monday afternoon.
10:30 this morning, that’s the time that striking teachers in Downingtown say they will start manning the picket lines.
12,000 students who could sleep in this morning because their classes were canceled in Downingtown.
52,000 bucks delivered to Manoa Fire Co. in Havertown yesterday by U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, D-7, in a grant for first responders from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
10 million dollar tax scam that led to convictions for 3 people guilty of ripping off the IRS after a trial in Philly.
28 billion dollars, the final selling price of Harrah’s gambling empire to two private equity firms. That includes a half-stake in the Chester track and slots parlor.
40 percent plunge in Sears profits, which led to the ouster of its president and chief executive officer yesterday.
13 percent hike in the wholesale price announced yesterday by Hershey’s for many of its famous chocolate bars. Things aren’t so sweet in the candy biz either.
16 percent jump in sales for chemical giant Rohm and Haas. At least someone is doing OK.
472 days, that’s how long it took Aker Philadelphia Shipyard to get its eighth shipbuilding project into the water.
21 home runs, the average over the last four years for Phils new third baseman Pedro Feliz.
2 years and 8.5 million bucks, what Feliz will get to anchor the hot corner, where the Phils struggled last year.
77 age of Lois Gilmore, who overcame depression, cancer and a stroke, all as she remained one of the top distance runners in the region. Last night she was honored as the Most Courageous Athlete by the Philadelphia Sportswriters Association.
1,000 points as well as 1,000 rebounds for Sun Valley star girls hoops player Sami Borcky.
2 games out of a playoff spot. That’s where the Sixers sit at 11 games under .500.

Give Pat Gillick and the Phillies credit. They realized their shortcomings at third base and addressed it by signing free agent Pedro Feliz. One more starting pitcher and this group will be ready to go to war with anyone. Can you say Kyle Lohse?

I Don’t Get It: A Pottstown man already awaiting trial on drug offenses has now been charged with first-degree murder. The victim? His cousin.

Today’s Upper: Once again they are talking about property tax reform in Harrisburg. A little more action, a little less talk, folks.

Quote Box: “As I watched President Bush tonight, I thought about ‘what might have been,’ for America if the president had been willing to do what America does best: compromise, under thoughtful leadership.”
