The Daily Numbers: 3 days of filming that kicks off today on the major movie “The Lovely Bones” at the MacDade Mall.


185,000 dollars, how much a Ridley Township man is believed to have swindled from his grandparents, with whom he lived. Jason Metzger will do 15 to 30 months in jail after entering a guilty plea.


5,000 bucks, give to the Merry Christmas Fund by C&H Industrial Services of Chester. Joy to the World!


90 million bucks, the value of a deal that would bring a movie studio to the Tri State Sports complex in Chester Townhsip.


14 age of girl found stuffed in a drum at an apartment complex in Whitpain Township, Montgomery County. The girl’s mother’s boyfriend has been charged in the case.


23 months in the slammer for former star NFL quarterback Michael Vick in connection with dog-fighting charges.


8 percent dip in revenue for Atlantic City casinos in November, as they continue to feel the effects of Pennsylvania’s new juggernaut slot-machine industry.


30 bucks, what a thief made off in a jar from a coffee store in Philly with donations that were supposed to go to the family of slain Officer Chuck Cassidy.

3 straight wins for the suddenly streaking Sixers. The Ed Stefanski era is off and running.


5 wins and 8 losses for the Eagles. Someone alert Andy Reid. He still thinks his team has a shot at the playoffs. Mathematically they do. They also play the Cowboys Sunday. That should take care of that.

Anyone else want to see what this kid Kevin Kolb can do? OK, maybe you don’t start him against the Cowboys. But the last two games of the season, I say let’s see what he’s got. We already know what Donovan McNabb and A.J. Feeley can do, it’s time to look ahead. Andy Reid says McNabb is the quarterback for the rest of the year. Great.

I Don’t Get It: Some times you just shake your head. The boyfriend of the mother of the 14-year-old girl found slain in Montgomery County has admitted he killed the girl. Then he made a wild claim about why. Nice.

Today’s Upper: Don’t look for a red carpet outside MacDade Mall today. But it will see some Hollywood stars there for the filming of some scenes for “The Lovely Bones.”.
