now have toll me that the phillies president dave montgomery, who is out on medical leave, has been told he will not return as a team's president. i'm also told pitcher cole hamels almost a lot to be traded my source was even stronger with ryan howard, the source would be shocked if ryan howard will be there with the phillies in spring training. even if they have to buy out his contract, the 76ers going for 18 straight lost toss minnesota, it comes down to the last two minutes. michael carter williams, the pass to noel, looks like the sixers playing defense, the sixers bin it 85 to 77. all right, big five basketball. this is villanova and lasalle. and villanova, really led from start to finish. the shot to score 84-70. they beat lasalle in a big-five game. temple loses by two to st. joe's. they had a chance to tie it at the end. that's sports in a minute. i'm howard eskin. the flyers have now lost five straight. the flyers actually tide last night's game with under five seconds remaining, to send it into over time after a scoreless over time. the ducks took the game in a shoot-out. anaheim winning the game five to four. >> well -- >> long season. >> hey, local university getting criticized for what seems at first like a perfectly normal purchase. >> so what's wrong with this table? why is it causing so much controversy? >> then today's the big day. nasa launching its

>> hi, we have no rain in the forecast for today. how about that? so, there is one thing. the other thing is cloud cover, keeping it from being nicole err than it is, now, if we had clear skies out there, it would be real cold morning. but as it is, it is already chillier than it was yesterday. so, no rain, no snow, nothing nearby. a little bit after breeze out of the west, 35 degrees, in philadelphia, right now, with a 7:06 sunrise time. so these are your temperatures, we're below freezing in mount pocono with 30 degrees, same for lancaster, allentown, 34, 33 pottstown, and trenton. thirty-five here in philadelphia. we see 34 in wilmington, and 39 degrees in wildwood. so, comparing this to yesterday, yes, everybody is chillier than they were 7 degrees colder in philadelphia, than we were 24 hours ago. our winds are picking up little bit. 17 miles an hour in mount pocono, they're also changing direction, from the southerly wind to the northwesterly winds, still in the process of doing that. so once that happens, we'll have colder air in place than we had yesterday. and we only got to 48 degrees yesterday. thanks to all of that rain. never did see that end of the day sunshine, rain just decided to hang around, so, here's the breakdown of today. thirty's, as you walk out the door, chillier start than we had on wednesday. by lunchtime, though, it will be a mix of sun, clouds, so it will be a lot better looking out there, with 40 degrees, and we top off at 44, dry, and chilly afternoon. but at least it will look better. your sunset time still that early time of 4:36 p.m. so that takes care of your thursday. first weekends of december forecast is coming up. bob kelly, hey. >> hey, sue, good morning, 4:31 this thursday morning. good morning to delaware. live look at i95, right near naman's road, the split for 495 there in the background, roads are dry, no problems or delays at all, what a difference a day can make here, live look, right, this is the blue route southbound right near mcdade, as folks head down toward philadelphia international. good to go there. and a live look here, this is route 309, 202, five-point, with the mall in the background. so, off to much better start this morning than we were this time yesterday. speedometer readings looking good, up and down 202, in and out of delaware. roosevelt boulevard though the traffic lights are defective at welsh rd. so there is no cross-traffic right now. you will have to either go one block north up to grant avenue, or go south down to woodward. that's going to be a mess through the morning rush hour with the light out. good news, though, we had overnight accident. that had 422 closed all westbound lanes are reopened, between pottstown, headed out toward reading, that's good news. then in new jersey, north on the new jersey turnpike, two separate accidents, as you approach exit number two, to look out for. they're open, but slow, headed into 322. if you are coming over the delaware memorial bridge, i would head right for 295, and play it safe, leave it that way. north on the ticket sean sean for the gang headed up to the pocono interchange, still left over crews headed near the lehigh valley exit taking out one of the two lanes. otherwise, mass transit and the airport looking good. chris, kerry, back to you. >> bob, thank you, sir. 4:33, philadelphia police

liberties. shear some savage surveillance shot from far away, but close enough to see what happened to a 17 year old central high school junior, three weeks ago tomorrow night. it was just past midnight friday night november 14th. the victim just left his friends' house, waiting for his mom and dad to pick him up outside his ride home. as these three thugs randomly approach in the other directionment the guy close toast him, cowardly out of no where sucker punches the 17 year old with enough force to knock him down, knock him out, knock out his teeth, break his jaw. but that wasn't enough as the victim stumbled back in the frame after a few more punches, the same guy stomps his head into the street. that knocked him out for awhile. and they go through his pockets stealing all he had on him including his cell phone. >> it appears to be random. and like i said, they assault him. he is outside waiting for a ride. they just jump on him, start kicking and punching him, i believe take his cell phone from his pocketment so again they just leave him out there. good thing that he was able to get to the hospital than he didn't cause more injury, but the injuries that he sustained definitely something that's bad. assaulting him, again, don't know what's going through their minds, but could have killed this young man. again, you kick someone if the face, someone in the head, the damage that's done, broken jaw, but his could have been a fatal blow and killed this young man. >> reporter: police put out this surveillance video yesterday morning with a thousand dollars reward offer for a good tip lead to go these guys figuring people who do this don't hardly ever just do it once, but may have done it more before and may still do it more again in the future if not caught for sure the victim, likely, to never want to go back to his friends' house, still suffering with lots of dental work needed, that's after his jaw, which is wired shut, finally heals. and they can open his mouth to do the dental work, than guy, likely, won't ever want to go outside maybe in that area until these guys are caught. wow, some mean stuff going on here in philadelphia. >> hard to hear. steve keeley live for us at police headquarters, thank you. meantime, 4:35, search crews recovered body from the christina river believed to be that of a woman i should say a man who fell in

one did not. emergency personnel spent tuesday night and most of yesterday, looking for emanuel, the body found shortly after the coast guard suspended their search. family, friends, gathered for

60% right in order to graduate, law make letters consider this bill in january, at least six other states are considering similar proposals. >> some well deserved honor for teenage hero. talking about the 17 year old who rescued philadelphia police officer from a burning car, delaware county council honored joe chambers from ridley, joe is a senior at ridley hi, and a junior member of the lee ham fire company. his mom, the officer, he saved, and members of that fire company, were on hand for the ceremony, they pulled mark from his burning patrol car last month. >> two little boys just hoping to get on santa's good list, instead, what they had police paying them a visit for straight ahead. >> oh, and at 4:42, today is the launch day, nasa launching the owe ryan spacecraft. actually, just couple of hours from now. we'll take to you cape canaveral for all of the updated forecast for the oryan launch which you will see right here on fox 29 during good day philadelphia. 67 degrees at launch time, which is 7:05, from cape canaveral this morning. looks like mostly cloudy skies, a little bit of fog lingering, but they've lifted the dense fog advisory, that's good, slight chance of rain, but hopefully that will begin after the launch. >> here are the temperatures we're dealing with this morning. 35 degrees, in philadelphia, chillier than yesterday, in mount pocono, in lancaster, in trenton, wrightstown, only 29. only 28 in millville. so, the places where the clouds have cleared, that's where the temperature has been able to plunge a little bit more. and that's because we're starting to shift into northwesterly wind instead of the southwesterlies. so that will be chillier air. that's your trade off for the sunshine that you're going to see later on today. so we'll take t we don't have anything to show you precipitation wise on ultimate doppler radar, nothing lake effect, nothing going on at all. so the foxcast for today is for, ya, sunshine, 44 degrees, we will take the chilly temperatures, because it always feels a little better when you're standing in the sun. thirty-two tonight, some increasing clouds, so it, will still be on the chilly side. and i think we will be kind of socked in with clouds on friday. high of 48, but i think most of the day will be dry, i don't see the rain starting until evening, on friday, and then saturday, kind of lasting on and off throughout the day. nobody want that. but, we got it for the first part of the weekend. i think that things will clear out on sunday, in time for the eagles versus the seahawks at 4:30 in the afternoon. let's hope it works out that way, bob kelly. >> yes, keeping the fingers crossed hello plymouth meeting. live look at the blue route here, ramps from the germantown pike, headed south down
