19, age of suspect charged in the brutal death of Cuddles the cat.
2 archciocesan high schools that will close their doors at the end of the year.
642 students enrolled at Cardinal Dougherty High School this year. At its peak, 5,944 students went through the doors each day in 1965. The school opened in 1956.
551 students at Northeast Catholic High School. In its heyday, 4,410 students attended in 1953.
5,000 dollars a year tuition to attend a parochial high school in the archdiocese.

32 percent of workers who say they call in sick whey they’re not, according to national study.

41 months in jail for a Philadelphia man who pleaded guilty in a $98,000 bad check scam.
20 million dollars, what some experts say a long Phillies run in the playoffs could mean to the region’s economy.
5 innings for Cole Hamels, who gave up 5 runs on 7 hits and got tagged with the loss.
1 hour after he left the game, Hamels’ wife, Heidi, gave birth to their first child.
10-8, record of Jason Hammel, slated to start Game 3 for the Rockies Saturday night.
5 goals surrendered by the Flyers as their 3-game win streak was snapped by the Pens, who posted a 5-4 win.
2, where Philly fans are ranked in a new national poll. And who might be No. 1? That would be Pittsburgh. Honest.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.Can someone tell me how starting a playoff game at 10:07 p.m. is a good idea. The game should end somewhere around 2 a.m. Nice.

I Don’t Get It: A 19-year-old has been charged with the vicious acts that led to the death of Cuddles the cat. I don’t get it.
*
Today’s Upper: Hey, it might be late for those Phils games Saturday and Sunday. But at least we’ll be toasty camped in front of the TV. It’s supposed to be in the low 30s with snow showers in Denver.
