Running Numbers

1 Number of votes that swayed the decision in favor of dual representation for states, also called the Great Compromise, adopted at Independence Hall on July 16, 1787.

$38 Lowest ticket price, before fees, for the "Pop-Tarts Presents American Idols Live" show, July 24 at the Wachovia Center. Shouldn't they call it "Pop-Tarts presents pop tarts?" Just sayin'.

49 Number of bachelors lucky enough to appear along with City Paper's own Brian Howard in Marie Claire's August issue feature, "50 Great Guys Who Want to Marry You." Check out the mag for B How's mug, bio and email address, but don't even bother asking him to send you a full body shot. Been trying for months. Dude's all, like, "no dice."

73 Percent of World Wrestling Entertainment audience members who are over 18, according to http://corporate.wwe.com/parents/, a site that encourages "parents and "family fans' to share how they use WWE programming in a positive way with their children." Positive like the results of your steroid test, 3:16! WWE RAW is July 18 at the Wachovia Center. Bring the fam!

15,000 Maximum number of 14-and-under fans who will receive a Pat Burrell and Billy Wagner action figure pack at the Phillies' July 17 game against the Marlins.
