The Daily Numbers -- Oct. 11
The Daily Numbers: 200 officials who gathered yesterday at Garnet Valley High School for the annual Safe Schools Summit.
4 people shot by a teen gunman at a Cleveland high school yesterday. He then killed himself.
2 revolvers and three knives carried into SuccessTech Academy alternate school by Asa H. Coon.
8 shots fired by the youth, who had been suspended from the school earlier in the week.
0, the property tax bill for homeowners age 65 and up with income of $40,000 or less under a plan to be unveiled by state Rep. John Perzel, R-Phila., today. The money would come from casinos.
10.6 percent dip in casino revenue at Atlantic City gaming parlors. They continue to blame new competition from ventures such as the new slots parlors in Pa., including Harrah’s in Chester.
5 billion dollars, amount set to be spent by MGM Mirage to build a glittering 3,000-room casino hotel in Atlantic City. Somebody must be making money.
20, age of student who reported being sexually assaulted in a music practice room at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor, N.J..
200 protesters who showed up at a school board meeting in Downingtown, Chester County, Wednesday night to support teachers who have been working without a contract and are now threatening to hit the bricks.
7 million dollars, the asking price for the home of state Sen. Vince Fumo, D-Phila., which is on Green Street in the city’s Fairmount section.
17 pit bulls found amid evidence of dogfighting in a rundown industrial park in the Frankford section of Philadelphia. SPCA officials are now saying animal cruelty is an "epidemic" in the city.
315 people killed on the streets of Philadelphia so far in 2007. That compares with 313 at the same time last year. But, hey, they’re finally coming to grips with the trans fat problem.
400,000 dollars raised for the war on AIDS during a star-studded tennis event Wednesday night at Villanova University headed by Elton John and Billie Jean King.
8 goals pumped in by the Flyers last night in Vancouver as they hammered the Canucks, 8-2.
103 million dollars, what Phillies officials expect their payroll to be next year. For that kind of money, you think they could win one stinking playoff game?
Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Don’t look now, but this Flyers team could be pretty good. And Daniel Briere just might be zooming to the top of the list of superstars who have come to Philly and played up to their ability.
I Don’t Get It (with apologies to Jack McCaffery): They substituted the trans fats in bakeries in Philadelphia, and guess what? The confections tasted lousy. One well-known confectioner said his cannolis "tasted like crayons." But, hey, they’re so much better for you.
Today’s Upper: Yes, the weather is finally turning chilly. But so far, I haven’t heard any TV predictions on when we can expect our first snow. Wonder how long that will last?
Quote Box: "It was a powerful message to our audience."
