The Daily Numbers: 15, age of Quadaar White of Upper Darby, who died after suffering an injury in a youth football league game. So sad.
9 siblings, 4 brothers and 5 sisters, among those who gathered last night on the field where White played to remember him.
20, age of suspect wanted in fatal shooting of Yeadon man in Upper Darby.
22 plastic bags containing suspected crack cocaine seized by Chester police from a home on Aaron’s Way as they investigated a street shooting.
63, age of Billy Williams, who admitted in court yesterday that he raped and killed his neighbor in the Long Lane Apartments in Upper Darby.
Morgan was 84.
30 to 60 years in prison for Williams, in a plea deal that will keep him off death row.
1 school district with a new contract this morning. Teachers in Southeast Delco signed off on the deal.
1 other district in the county without a teacher pact in place. That would be Radnor.
50 employers who will be taking part in a job fair today at the McCall Conference Center in Upper Darby.
3, as in Category 3, that would be Hurricane Earl. It’s been downgraded from a Category 4 storm, and is expected to deliver mostly some rain in the region Friday, along with rough surf and riptides at the shore.
2 new polls that show Joe Sestak trailing Pat Toomey in the Pa. Senate Race. Reuters sees it 47-37 for the Republican Toomey. Rasmussen has it a lot closer, at 45-39 for Toomey.
1 person struck by a car that then fled the scene last night on Allegheny Avenue in Philadelphia.
1 dead and 2 wounded in a street shooting in West Philly last night.
9 percent unemployment rate in Delco in July, that was highest in the Philly suburbs.
11.9 percent jobless in Philly. Chester County has lowest rate in the region at 7.2 percent.
468,000 people in the 5-county Philadelphia region who plan to hit the road this holiday weekend and drive at least 50 miles from home.
10 percent hike in electric rates coming from Peco beginning on Jan. 1, when rate caps expire.
8 bucks, what it will mean for average electric bill, from $81.53 to $89.
88.7 degrees, our average daily high this summer. That’s a record. We’re going to soar to 97 today
2 3-run homers for the Phils to power them to 8-4 win over the Dodgers last night.
13 games without a homer for Ryan Howard, who broke that streak with a titanic shot to center.
4 runs on 7 hits over 5 innings for Phils starter Kyle Kendrick.
34-33 road record for the Phils this season.
7, as in No. 7, Eagles starter Thursday vs. Jets will be none other than Michael Vick. Kevin Kolb and the starters are getting the night off.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Has anyone else seen enough of the Eagles juggernaut offense to think giving the starters the night off on Thursday is a good idea. Of course if Kevin Kolb were to get hurt that also would be a problem. So what happens if Michael Vick is 20-for-25 for 300 yards and 2 TDs. I know, but a fan can dream, can’t he?

I Don’t Get It: It just seems so sad to lose a great 15-year-old kid to a freak football injury. RIP, Quadaar White.

Today’s Upper: County Council is moving to correct problems at the Delco Prison. Good for them.
