The Daily Numbers: 1 person of interest being sought in murder of an Upper Darby cab driver on Christmas Eve.
500,000 dollars or more police believe the former payroll coordinator in the Ridley School District ripped off from her employer. They say Carol Ackley blew it all at casinos.
1.5 billion dollars expected to pour into the state’s coffers each year from those slots casinos that opened earlier this year.
2 kids found safe and sound in the back seat of a BMW that was stolen Wednesday night. The kids’ mother left the kids in the car with the engine running while she ran inside.
600 million dollar project for two casinos in Philadelphia back in jeopardy again after several state legislators filed suit claiming the city usurped the state’s authority because the sites are planned over the submerged banks of the Delaware River.
1 man in custody in the stabbing of a customer inside a Starbucks in South Philly early Sunday.
2 buildings that will not be demolished, at least not for now, as part of the Pennsylvania Convention Center project. A judge granted the reprieve sought by some preservation groups.

96 points for the Sixers last night as they topped the Miami Heat.
12 wins for the Sixers, against 16 losses, good for fourth place in the Atlantic Division.

Kudos to Sheldon Brown. The Eagles corner spoke candidly yesterday about the season and the fact that the team is now playing well. Too late, according to Brown. The team expects to make the playoffs each year, the DB said. They didn’t get it done this year. Good for him.

I Don’t Get It: I didn’t get it on the day after Thanksgiving. I surely will never get why people feel the need to rush out the day after Christmas to buy more stuff simply because it’s on sale.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to all those involved in the Pete Nelson Classic, the high school hoops tourney that will tap off for the first time tonight in Chester. It honors the memory of Floyd “Pete” Nelson, father of former Chester High standout Jameer Nelson. Pete passed away in a tragic accident last year. But this tourney is a great way to keep his memory alive, and honor both his memory and the continuing legacy of Jameer Nelson.
