The Daily Numbers -- March 3
The Daily Numbers: 64 age of state Sen. Vince Fumo, who is hospitalized this morning after suffering a heart attack.
15 years have passed since Collingdale shop owner Fred Winner was gunned down. The case remains unsolved. His daughter is still hoping justice can be served in the case.
130 people who showed up for a Hillary Clinton training event for volunteers in Media Saturday.
150 backers of Barack Obama who did likewise in Marple.
1,000 people, what both camps were hoping to enlist across Pennsylvania this weekend as the buildup toward the April 22 primary begins in earnest.
1 percent earned income tax being looked at by officials in Upland. That means a new hit on the paychecks of the 3,000 employees of Crozer Chester Medical Center.
72, age of the Dalai Lama, who will pay a visit to the Lehigh Valley when he will lead a symposium at Lehigh University in July.
13.8 percent interest earned on the $76 billion in the Pennsylvania Public School Employees Retirement System last year. And the State Employees Retirement System did even better, earning 17.2 percent interest on their $35 billion.
110 workers who will be laid off due to the closing of GAF Materials, a roofing company in Bucks County.
29 percent of respondents to a recent poll who say they either fell asleep or became very sleepy at work in the past month.
19, age of teenager slain when gunfire erupted at a bowling alley in Wilmington Sunday morning.
2,000 dollars in cash, and a couple nice bottles of champagne, taken by a gunman who held up a state liquor store in Penndel, Bucks County, Saturday night.
3 people hurt when flames roared through a row home in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. Two of them were firefighters.
7.8 percent increase in the cost of natural gas, according to Peco. That will cost their average heating customer $10.50 a month.
2 big free agents signed by the Eagles this weekend. The Birds inked all-pro cornerback Asante Samuel from the Patriots, and defensive end Chris Clemons from the Raiders. Two very good signings. But it leaves the status of Lito Sheppard up in the air.
22.3 seconds left in the game when Temple took its first lead over Saint Joe’s Sunday. The Owls held on for a thrilling win.
54 points for Villanova, which fell to Louisville in a Big East matchup. The ‘Cats likely will have to win the Big East Tourney to get into the NCAA tourney.
1 point for the Flyers, who still got tagged with a loss after dropping a shootout to the Rangers yesterday.

It’s doesn’t look terribly promising for any of the Philly colleges to be taking part in March Madness. More likely they’ll be singing the NIT blues.

I Don’t Get It: PennDOT is placing a ton of new color-coded detour signs along local highways. If anyone can figure them out, give us a call.

Today’s Upper: 60 degrees tomorrow. Sounds like spring to me.
