The Daily Numbers: 1 of the three major presidential candidates who has yet to do Delco. What are you waiting for, Hillary?
2 Delco reps who voted against an amendment that would require people to report lost or stolen guns. But Rep. Nick Micozzie actually supports the measure. He said his voting mechanism was stuck in the “no” position. Rep. Steve Barrar also voted against.
2 different crashes that snarled Delco roads yesterday. A dump truck lost part of its load on the Blue Route overpass, sending debris down on Darby Road. And some power lines were knocked down in Brookhaven.
1,700 kids who got a jolt of reality yesterday at Cardinal O’Hara High School, where police recreated an accident to remind them of the dangers of drinking and driving. Just in time for prom and graduation season.
4 more teens charged in the fatal subway attack in Philadelphia. That’s 5 in total, with 1 more being sought.
2,200 dollar mink coat apparently bought on a shopping spree by suspects who now face charges of ID theft. They bought the goods with credit cards that belonged to the wife of an Aston police officer.
274 kilos of cocaine seized during a huge drug bust in Philly. The street value of the coke weighs in at a cool $28 million.
124 churches in Camden County that likely will be drastically altered today as the archdiocese reshapes its parishes, in part because of financial struggles, and in part because of a shortage or priests.
40 year-old woman, an employee of Curran Fromhold Prison, who is now charged with the hit-and-run death of 15-year-old Mary Lee Otto in Philadelphia.
2 officers in New Castle County, Del., who were struck by a man fleeing when he was spotted as a wanted fugitive. He’s still on the loose.
16 year-old who is now charged with critically shooting his 14-year-old brother during gunplay in their Philadelphia home Wednesday night.
81 age of woman who was brutally beaten during a home invasion in Kensington.
6,400 high-tech jobs added in Pennsylvania in 2006. That puts the state in 7th place nationally. New Jersey did better, adding 8,500 such jobs.
8 people injured in a three-car crash in Bear, Del., Wednesday night. That includes 3 children.
150 dollars a month, the fee for a new high-speed Internet service being rolled out by Comcast in Chicago.
6 to 0, the vote by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court clearing the way for construction of the Foxwoods Casino on the Philadelphia waterfront.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Show of hands now: Who would have thought back at Christmas that the Sixers had the best outlook of our four pro sports teams? Thought so.
*
I Don’t Get It: What exactly is the attraction of going to a ball game and acting like a neanderthal. Once again fan behavior at Citizens Bank Park will go under the microscope after what ensued after last night’s “Dollar Dog” night.
*
Today’s Upper: It’s good that Philadelphia police have made arrests in the attack on Sean Patrick Conroy on the Center City subway platform. Now if only they could tell us why.

Quote Box: “I’m not running because of some lofty ambitions or because I think it’s somehow owed to me. I’m running because of what Dr. King called, ‘The fierce urgency of now.’”
-- Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama, to crowd at Strath Haven High Wednesday.
