Running Numbers110 Number of pounds you have to weigh, as well as being at least 17, in order to give blood at one of Philadelphia county's two community donor centers, Musser Donor Center, 700 Spring Garden St., and Northeast Donor Center, Smylie Times Building, 8001 Roosevelt Blvd., Suite 101.

3 Number of interceptionsa Super Bowl recordthrown by the Eagles in their 27-10 loss to the Raiders in Super Bowl XV, Jan. 25, 1981, at the New Orleans Superdome. Eagles-Raiders at the Superdome for the Super Bowl? Twenty-five years later, we're living in bizarro world.
2 Number of hours late you should arrive to Southwest Airlines' recruiting events Jan. 24 and 25 at the Four Points Sheraton Philadelphia Airport, and Jan. 26 at the Sheraton Suites, all at 4101 Island Ave. at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Sure, Southwest instructs interested parties to "please arrive on time and bring a resume," but you have to assume they want candidates to reflect the industry they're applying to. So walk in as they're ready to leave, make them wait for another couple of hours, tell them that you lost the resume on the way, and then, before you get to the actual interview, steer the conversation to places they never really wanted to go. Ding. You're hired.
