500 dollar reward being posted in Springfield for information on the person who slashed 31 tires on cars at a gas station over the weekend.
13 more cars damaged by vandals in West Chester and West Goshen. Many had windows and windshields shot out. That brings the total to over 100.

15, where Philadelphia ranks in a survey of the nation’s most walkable cities by the American Podiatric Association.
79 percent of US Airways flights completed within 15 minutes of their schedule in January.
15, ranking of Philadelphia International Airport for January in on-time departures. That accounts for 78 percent of flights. It was 13th in on-time arrivals, at 76 percent.

150 offenders slapped with citations by state police since new law went into effect Saturday in New Jersey banning use of hand-held cell phones while driving. The violations come with a $100 fine.

1.25 inches of rain that soaked the region overnight.
911 as in emergency call centers. The head of the Bucks County system has retired in the wake of a controversy over a delayed call in a fire in which a disabled woman died.
3 third period goals that spelled doom for the Flyers, who fell to the Sabres last night, 5-2.
17 seasons in the NFL for legendary quarterback Brett Favre, who announced his retirement yesterday.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
You heard it hear first. Look for Brett Favre to suddenly “un-retire” and be back at QB for the Packers next year.

I Don’t Get It: We’re suddenly seeing a spike in vandalism. More than 30 tires were slashed at a gas station in Springfield over the weekend. A brand new sidewalk in Parkside was “signed” by graffiti artists even before the concrete could set. I don’t get it.
*
Today’s Upper: Let’s hear it for the unconditional love being showered on their miracle baby by Chester residents Shayla Montgomery and Steve Tucker. That’s something the world could use a lot more of.
