The Daily Numbers -- Nov. 27
The Daily Numbers: 32 years, that’s how long Cosimo ‘Sam’ Ferrainola headed the Glen Mills School. He is stepping down.
5 cars involved in a crash that has shut down the Pennsylvania Turnpike in both directions at Willow Grove this morning.
1 homicide this year in Chester Township. Police believe the fatal shooting of a teen Sunday is rooted in a gang turf war between one group in the township and another from Chester.
36 homicides recorded so far this year in the county. That’s on a record pace.
5 age of youth shot inside his home in Kensington around 1 a.m. Tuesday. He’s in stable condition.
24 age of Redskins star safety Sean Taylor. He died of a gunshot wound suffered in his Miami home.
33 age of grandmother who has been charged with abandoning a baby in Montgomery County. She left the newborn on the steps of a home, despite the fact that Abington Hospital was just down the street. The baby is doing fine.
10 people killed in car accidents over the Thanksgiving holiday in Pennsylvania, according to state police. There were more than 1,000 crashes investigated, resulting in 320 injuries.
1,000 bucks a plate, what the GOP faithful shelled out for dinner with Rudy Giuliani in Northampton County Monday. Later he made a stop in Delco, at the Oaks Ballroom in Darby Township.
3.5 percent pay hike, actually a cost of living adjustment, for all members of the Pennsylvania Legislature.
2,550 bucks, what the rank-and-file legislator will see in his or her paycheck. Base salary now is $76,163.
6,000 dollar pay hike for the governor, Ed Rendell, under the same plan.
800 million dollars, amount of expansion approved for Fox Chase Cancer Center.
100 percent healthy, that’s what Andy Reid says Donovan McNabb needs to be to start Sunday against the Seahawks.
3 goals given up by Martin Biron before he was lifted last night against the Bruins. The Flyers lost, 6-3.

Andy Reid says the Eagles don’t have a quarterback controversy. That’s one person who thinks so.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Sam Ferrainola, who is stepping down after more than 3 decades at the helm of Glen Mills School. He changed it from a reform school to a first-class educational facility.
