The Daily Numbers: 7 years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.
9 and 11. Will we ever think of those two numbers the same way again?
1 of Chester’s 12 Most Wanted featured in yesterday’s paper taken into custody last night in Darby Borough.
1 student detained and several others cited after a fight at Chester High School Tuesday.
16 age of moped rider injured when he was struck by a car last night on Providence Road in Media.
30,000 pound anchor, once the pride of Baldt Anchor in Chester, that is now up for sale on Craigslist. The asking price is $20,000.
35,000 dollars believed stolen from a federal credit union of the United Food and Commercial Workers union local in Plymouth Meeting by an Exton woman. She now faces theft charges.
32 states aside from Pennsylvania that forbid smoking in most public places. The new Pa. law goes into effect today.
5.5 million dollar award from a federal jury to the family of a Philadelphia teen who was gunned down outside Hahnemann University Hospital.
14 large pot plants discovered in a field in Delaware that led to the arrest of a New Castle man. Police then found 5 loaded handguns, 1 loaded shotgun, 3 loaded rifles, a collection of knives, a stun gun and marijuana-growing material inside his home.
2 syringes found on the beach at Atlantic City, N.J., in front of Boardwalk Hall Monday.
58,253 dollars in gas believed stolen in Elkton, Md., using a credit card stolen from the General Services Administration. A man has been charged with using the stolen card to buy gas at a series of local gas stations.
74 age of woman struck and killed by a SEPTA bus Monday at Broad and Oregon in Philadelphia.
120 million dollar loss being reported by PNC bank, stemming from charges regarding its BlackRock holdings.
120 new Silverliner rail cars on tap for SEPTA’s regional rail lines. The transit agency unveiled the first one yesterday.
4 million dollars, the asking price for former Sixers star Allen Iverson’s mansion on the Main Line. That’s down from the $5 million he paid for the 6-bedroom Villanova estate in 2003.
3.5 games back of the Mets, where the Phils stand after losing two of three to the Marlins.
4 games behind the Brewers for the Wild Card. Milwaukee just happens to be in town for a 4-game set starting tonight.
7 and a third innings for Brett Myers, who struck out 9, and gave up 4 runs on 8 hits.
4 days and counting before the Eagles and Cowboys tangle in Dallas on Monday night.
Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Stick a fork in the Phillies. You don’t lose two of three to the Marlins in a crucial series and still pretend to have playoff aspirations. They now will need to sweep the Brewers just to pull even in the Wild Card. They’ll start that giant task tonight by sending 45-year-old Jamie Moyer to the hill on three days rest.

I Don’t Get It: Police now say a man pocketed the cell phone of the victim of that brutal hammer attack on a SEPTA subway station. It’s not known if the suspect, also captured on video, knew the phone belonged to the guy who had just been hammered.

Today’s Upper: A smoking ban on most enclosed public places goes into effect in Pennsylvania today. That’s what you would call a breath of fresh air.

Quote Box: “For the people who did know Mike, it’ll be a place for us to go to remember him, something tangible at the university.”
-- John Mininno, a friend and classmate of Michael Horrocks, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks, on plans for a memorial for him on the West Chester University campus.
