The Daily Numbers -- Jan. 3
The Daily Numbers: 3 million, how many people live in Iowa, which holds its presidential caucus tonight.
6 days until the first presidential primary, Tuesday in New Hampshire.
10 degrees, that’s what it feels like as you walk outside this morning.
60 degrees, that’s what the forecasters say we’ll approach on Monday and Tuesday. Somebody alert Al Gore.
3,500 students left without bus service yesterday morning after a stabbing incident in the bus yard for the William Penn School District. Normal service resumed for the afternoon.
45 million dollars in state aid toward a proposal to build a soccer stadium in Chester that could be blocked if a Lebanon County Republican gets her way.
500 million dollar development project along Chester’s waterfront that could go by the boards if the stadium is not built.
100 dollars a barrel, where crude oil was trading for a while yesterday. Yes, experts say we are going to be paying more at the pump.
4 bucks a gallon, what some forecasters predict we’ll be shelling out to fill up this summer. My guess would be just in time for the Memorial Day holiday.
50 bucks, what it will cost you to join the fun at the inaugural gala of new Philly Mayor Michael Nutter Monday night. About the cost of a tank full of regular unleaded.
2 suspects being sought in a brutal attack on an employee of legendary Geno’s Steaks in South Philly.
9 sex attacks on women in Camden, N.J., that police believe could be linked to the same suspect.
2 more murders in Philadelphia Wednesday night. That brings the city’s total for 2008 to 3. In just 3 days.
2 people found shot to death inside a home in Dover, Del.
1 kite surfer believed to be missing in the surf off Rehoboth Beach, Del. A massive search yesterday failed to turn up a body.
5 free throws drilled by former Sixer Kyle Korver in the final seconds last night to lead his new team, the Utah Jazz, to a 110-107 win over the 76ers.
.286 what reserve outfielder Chris Roberson hit last year for the Phils. Yesterday they sold him to the Orioles.
5 unrestricted free agents on the Eagles roster, headed by tight end L.J. Smith.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Anyone trying to figure out what they are going to do this weekend without an Eagles playoff game to hold our interest? Want me to rub some salt in it? Why not watch Jeff Garcia lead the Bucs against the Giants. Yeah, I know, it hurts.
*
I Don’t Get It: Three days into the new year and 3 homicides in Philadelphia. I don’t get it.
*
Today’s Upper: While your teeth are chattering this morning, keep this in mind. They’re calling for temperatures near 60 on Monday and Tuesday. Breakout the golf clubs.

Quote Box: “Can you tell me who won in Iowa the last four elections?”
