The Daily Numbers: 2 crucial primaries today as all eyes focus on the Democratic races in Texas and Ohio. Most believe it’s make-or-break for Hillary Clinton.
11 straight wins racked up by Barack Obama as he’s charged into the role of Democratic front-runner. It might be too late for Clinton to derail this express.
3,700 dollars worth of goods police say two brazen bra bandits made off with in a heist at the Victoria’s Secret store in Springfield Mall. Guest that would fall under the category of panty raid.
68, age of legendary Haverford politician and powerbroker Joe Kelly, who died this week. Rest well, Joe.
4 police shootings recorded in recent weeks in Philadelphia. A man who fired a gun at police during a chase was shot in North Philadelphia last night .
34, age of man who surrendered to face charges of sexual assault in a case in which his victim jumped out a third-floor window to flee his attack in Philadelphia.
83, age of man from Sharon, Pa., who is fighting deportment. His past includes work as a Nazi concentration camp guard.
6 percent boost in funding for education under Gov. Ed Rendell’s budget, which is now starting to be debated in Harrisburg..
20 of 29 days in February in which they recorded precipitation in Allentown. They got more than 7.6 inches, making it the wettest month in 112 years. Maybe that’s why it’s now included in the infamous “northern and western suburbs.”.
1 bullet that pierced the window of a day care center in Olney during a wild shootout. Another bullet entered a nearby home and wounded a woman in the hand.
5 long, no doubt cold days spent in a drain pipe by a dog at a Moorestown, N.J., apartment complex. It finally was coaxed out by a hamburger.
2 teenagers in New Jersey who face charges that they fired a pellet gun at animals at the Cohanzick Zoo in Bridgeton.
1 school in West Chester that will be closed today due to an outbreak of the flu. School officials say the illness has hit numerous students at the West Chester Christian School.
6 dead, including 2 children, in a shooting under investigation in Memphis, Tenn.
1 person killed when a man opened fire inside a Wendy’s fast-food join in Florida. He then turned the gun on himself.
4 years old, age of child inside a Bucks County home that police say was set on fire by the 35-year-old mother. She now faces charges. The child was not harmed.
3 of the 4 vehicles built at auto plants in Delaware that suffered sales declines in February.
104 dollars a barrel, an all-time high for crude oil, reached overnight before prices declined back under the record mark.
3.86 a gallon, price for diesel fuel in the Philly region. That’s a new all-time high.
1,000 fans who waited in miserable cold snow and freezing rain to buy tickets to the new Allentown minor league team’s exhibition debut against the Phillies on March 30. Their nickname? The Iron Pigs. Gotta love that.
36 million bucks the Eagles offered bad boy wideout Randy Moss. Yeah, now try to sell us that idea that they don’t need another wide receiver.
6 goals for the Sun Valley ice hockey team, but it was not enough as they fell, 7-6, to Garnet Valley.
0 hits, 1 strikeout and 2 walks in two innings for Phils’ rookie first-round pick Joe Savery in Grapefruit League action yesterday.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
When we weren’t looking they moved Clearwater north. We’re going to have spring training weather today. Unfortunately the winter of our discontent returns this weekend.

I Don’t Get It: What kind of joy do kids get who resort to shooting a pellet gun at defenseless animals in a zoo, as authorites are now alleging two teens in New Jersey did.
*
Today’s Upper: A state court has upheld a ruling that will allow children to testify in some sex abuse cases, saying making them face their accused molesters would be too traumatic. It’s the right call.
