The Daily Numbers: 2 suspects who targeted a young mom as she walked to a trolley near 69th Street. She fought back and eventually led cops to the house they entered. Her last name? Peace. Good for her.
900,000 dollars spent on the alert system now in place to let residents know of emergency situations via text messaging or e-mails. It was officially rolled out at County Council Tuesday.
29 miles of state roads being targeted for repair and resurfacing by PennDOT. Bottom line, it’s going to be tough to drive on a lot of roads in the coming weeks. Patience, folks.
200 years of the Philadelphia Archdiocese celebrated with bell-ringing at both Monsignor Bonner and Archbiship Prendergast high schools yesterday.
189,386 registered Republicans in Delaware County, according to updated figures released by the county Tuesday. For the first time in history that does not make them the majority party.
193,858 voters whose registration is something other than Republican. Of those there are 154,707 Democrats, which means they still trail the GOP, but are gaining. The numbers have spiked because of interest in the Democratic primary race between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
6 point lead for Clinton among Pennsylvania Democrats, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll. She leads 50-44 percent.
64 dead animals -- cats, dogs, guinea pigs, ferrets and turtles -- found in a home in Barnegat, N.J. The couple who lived in the house now face charges.
203 misdemeanor counts, and 371 summary counts of animal cruelty filed against a woman who runs a cat sanctuary where hundreds of sick and dying cats were found last week in Gibsonia, Pa. What is it with people and animals all of a sudden?
180,000 barrels of oil a day that is idled with the shutdown of the Sunoco refinery in Marcus Hook. An electrical problem is believed to be the problem.
81, age of woman beaten up in her Kensington home last week. Police this week arrested a suspect. He’s 24. Nice.
2 people busted in Ardmore in what the feds are saying is a plot to smuggle aliens into the country and then imprison them until they repaid their “debt.”
2.5 million pounds of trash now off the streets of Philadelphia after last weekend’s city-wide cleanup effort.
58 age of substitute teacher in Delaware who is charged with choking a 12-year-old boy in class last week.
500 flights canceled yesterday by American Airlines, creating serious problems for travelers. More of the same is expected today. The airline is trying to comply with federal regulations on wiring.
11, grade of student that authorities at Pennsauken High School in Jersey say was compiling a hit list of other students.
41, age of woman charged with DUI after she arrived at school in Richland, Bucks County, to pick up her sick child. At the time she had 4 other kids in the car, police say.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
The Phils are becoming the itch the Mets can’t satisfy. The Phillies ruined the Mets home opener – the last ever for Shea Stadium – yesterday by rallying for a 5-2 win. Very simply put, they have the Mets number.

I Don’t Get It: A man in York, Pa., has been charged with homicide in the vicious beating death of his girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter. He apparently beat the toddler with his video game controller. I don’t get it.

Today’s Upper: Leave it to Upper Darby top cop Mike Chitwood to cut to the chase. As usual, he fairly aptly described the two suspects charged with attacking a young mom on a township street. Chitwood believes they’re “bums” and “scumbags.” Anyone want to argue?
