The Daily Numbers: 400,000 dollars worth of prescription drugs seized by investigators in Upper Darby after the residents reported a suspicious car with the keys still in the trunk.
40 to 80 dollars a pop, what the oxycodone pills seized by police bring on the street.
61 degrees for a glorious high temperature on Sunday. It won’t get that warm today, but it will still be pretty nice, and we might hit the mid 60s later this week.
300 people who gathered for a fundraiser last night to raise money for a scholarship in the name of hit-run victim Faith Sinclair.
5 years in jail for a Main Line businessman for obtaining frudulent loans. He also must make $12.5 million in restitution.
1 billion dollars in unpaid bail for suspects released but who never showed up for court in Philadelphia.
10 hour days that can stretch to 20 hours. That’s Ed Rendell describing the work habits of ex-Sen. Vince Fumo’s staff. The governor will take the stand at Fumo’s federal trial today.
100,000 dollars believed stolen from First Corinthian Church in Philadelphia. A man and woman face charges.
13 million dollars in funding for economic development projects announced Sunday by Philly Mayor Michael Nutter.
100 to 200 teens who fled a party at City Line Avenue motor lodge over the weekend. The group then apparently beat up several Saint Joseph’s University students they encountered.
3.4 million dollars in budget cuts being made by the Kimmel Center in downtown Philly. There will be no cuts in programming, staff or operating hours.
5 Grammys for the collaboration of veteran rocker Robert Plant and singer Alison Krauss, including Album of the Year for “Raising Sand.”
20,000 jobs being slashed by Nissan as they prepare to report their first annual loss in nine years.
1.92 a gallon, the national average for gasoline, according to AAA.
1.95 a gallon, what we’re paying in the Philly area. The price hikes are being blamed on refiners cutting production. Hey, last year we were paying $3.01 a gallon.
65,000 gallons of oil sludge that spilled near Chicago.
131 lives lost as wildfires raged across a blazing hot Australia, where temperatures hit 117 degrees over the weekend.
750 homes destroyed by the fires swept by winds that hit 60 mph.
54 million dollar, 3-year contract for Phillies slugger Ryan Howard.
15 million dollars, what Howard will make this year, followed by 19 million next year and 20 million in the final year.
48 homers and 146 RBI last year for Howard. Oh, and he also struck out 199 times and made 19 errors at first base.
14 straight wins for the Flyers over the Atlanta Thrashers after Sunday’s 3-2 win.
34 goals so far this season for Flyers star Jeff Carter.

I Don’t Get It: You have to wonder what the guy in Upper Darby was thinking when he left the keys in the trunk slot of his car. Neighbors reported it as suspicious to police. They came, opened it, and found $400,000 in illegal drugs. Along with a bag with the suspect’s name on it. Oops!

Today’s Upper: Kudos to the Eagles, who are asking fans to donate to the American Red Cross to aid the victims of arson fires in Coatesville. The team will match the donations up to $10,000.
