0 stray animals from animal control officers that will be accepted by the Delaware County SPCA after June 30, 2011. The facility is moving toward becoming a “no-kill” center.
30 day extension of state of emergency in Chester that expires next week. Council took no action on the matter yesterday at their last meeting before it expires.
2.88 inches of rain the deluged the region yesterday. Flooding was reported all over the county, in particular in Prospect Park, Ridley and Trainer.
43-43, where a new poll has the Senate race between Joe Sestak and Pat Toomey in a dead heat.

80 mph winds that were clocked in a storm that blew through a region in Lehigh County yesterday.
47 people shot overnight in 2 separate incidents in Philadelphia.
30 years spent in prison by a man who was freed yesterday. He insists he did not commit the crime. A judge allowed him to go free.
47 wins posted by the Phils in the first half. They likely will have to do better in the 2nd half to make the postseason.
109,901, that’s the capacity at the newly expanded University of Michigan Stadium. That drops Penn State into the No. 2 spot.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.You have to like the attitude of Eagles’ QB Kevin Kolb stepping up to the plate and defending his teammate Michael Vick. Make no mistake, Kolb will be a much different kind of leader than the departed Donovan McNabb.
