Florence, 1476 Memory 1: Boys will be Boys
What better way to start learning combat in Assassin's Creed 2 than a good and honest street brawl? Follow the on-screen instructions in order to fight off Viery de' Pazzi's men, unleashing your wrath on them for having a stone strike your face.
After defeating the required amount of enemies, loot the bodies until you have collected a total of 200 florians to pay the doctor to heal your wounds. Note: You can continue to loot as many people as you want this early in the game to collect a lot of money, but be warned if you get caught -- the public will fight back. Memory 2: You Should See the Other Guy
Now you'll learn how to sprint and free run in the game. Follow your objective marker located on your GPS to make your way to the doctor to get healed.
Memory 3: Sibling Rivalry
Now that you're healed up it's time to race Federico to the top of the tower. Keep an eye on his location and where he races up the walls -- this is the same direction you should be traveling as well.
After the race is complete, climb the tower with Federico for the title screen to roll, reminding you that you are indeed playing Assassin's Creed 2.
Memory 4: Nightcap
Ezio is a ladies man through and through so it's that time of night for him to pay his respects to his special someone, Cristina Vespucci. Pefrom a Leap of Faith from the perch at the top of the tower to land in a haystack below.
Climb out of the pile of hay and make your way to the marked waypoint below Cristina's window for a short cut-scene to take place. Keep your hands on the controller though as that this cut-scene is interactive (you have to press some buttons).
Memory 5: Paperboy
Another introductory mission that revolves around you moving through the streets towards a destination in order to deliver Giovanni's letter to Lorenzo de' Medici, marked on your GPS.
Memory 6: Beat a Cheat
Completing this mission will unlock some beat-up events that will take place in the game. Track down Duccio by following your GPS marker to his location to catch him in the act.
Much like how you dealt with the goons during the first memory, beat up Duccio with your fists until he goes down for the count.
Memory 7: Petruccio's Secret
This memory will unlock the Feather Locations (see our maps for their locations). Follow the locations as marked on your GPS as green markers to pick up each of the eagle feathers for Petruccio before he gets in trouble for sneaking out of bed.
Memory 8: Friend of the Family
Follow your character's mother to Leonardo di Vinci's house. After the short introductory cut-scene, pick up the box on the ground, and carry it to Leonardo's new shop.
Memory 9: Special Delivery
There are a couple of locations marked on your GPS that you have to get to in order for some short cut-scenes to play. We've detailed each of the letter locations below.
Memory 10: Jailbird
Proceed towards the Palazzo della Signoria, sneak past the guards, and climb up to the top of the prison tower. There you will talk with your father who will send you on to the next mission to complete.
Memory 11: Family Heirloom
After you enter the house, interact with the hidden lever to uncover a secret room. Interact with the chest to get your Assassin outfit and the documents to deliver to one, Uberto Alberti. As you leave your family's residence you will encounter a few guards. Take out your sword and follow on the on-screen instructions to defeat these guards.
Memory 12: Last Man Standing
Make your way to the city square marked on your GPS so you can attend the acquittal of Petruccio, Giovanni, and Federico. But things quickly go sour.
After the cut-scene, run north towards a set of white boxes that you can climb up, then pull yourself up to a ledge and run along the city rooftops until you lose the guards. Use hiding areas as well to help break the line of site of persuing guards. Once you have left them all in the dust, the introductory portion of the game will conclude.GO TO SEQUENCE 2: ESCAPE PLANS

The guilty verdicts add to a long list of convictions in recent months related to Detroit-area health care agencies that took advantage of Medicare and Medicaid.
Mehran Javidan, who owned Acure Home Care Inc. in Oak Park and Troy, was accused of paying doctors to refer patients for physical therapy treatment that was medically unnecessary.
She was also charged with paying recruiters to obtain Medicare information and pre-signed physical therapy documents from patients in exchange for cash and promises of narcotics prescriptions.
A jury found Javidan, 52, guilty of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, three counts of health care fraud, three counts of making false statements related to health care and conspiracy to solicit or pay kickbacks. She was acquitted of additional counts of making false statements and health care fraud.
Vishnu Meda, a physical therapist, was accused of creating fraudulent documents using the blank, pre-signed forms for the billing of physical therapy treatment that was never provided.
Meda, 32, was found guilty of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, two counts of health care fraud, and two counts of making false statements. The jury found her not guilty of additional false statements and health care fraud charges.
Medicare paid Acure over $2.3 million between December 2008 and November 2010, according to the FBI.
Another suspect indicted in the same case last year, Ram Rajulapati, remains a fugitive.

It has been many times that baseball teams win 50 games and lose 50 games. It's what they do with the rest of them that matters.
The saying was meant to show that unlike some other sports, even the best teams can get tripped up easily on a night or two. It's easy to run into a monstrous slugger or hot pitcher who almost singlehandedly wins a game on one night. It's also easy to watch one reliever melt down, coughing up a certain win.
It's for all these reasons that the Red Sox series that concluded in Baltimore last night should be considered a success, even though the team lost two out of three games. Here's why:
Slumping hitters are starting to get untracked
In the course of one series, it looks like Jacoby Ellsbury has found his swing. He had three hits on both Wednesday and Thursday, boosting his average from .221 to .264. Overall, he finished the three-game visit to Camden Yards hitting 7 for 14 with three doubles, three runs scored and two RBI. That's nice work.
Similarly, Adrian Gonzalez looked fantastic in Baltimore, even though he still has just one home run this season. He hit 6 for 13 against the Orioles, with four doubles and three RBI.
The capping performance came last night, when he had two singles and a double -- the kind of opposite field double that attracted the Sox to him in the first place. Add that to his three-hit night to close out the Angels series, and he appears well on his way.
Now, if only Carl Crawford (.160/.202/.234 on the season, with a 1 for 12 performance in Baltimore) could truly get untracked. At least he doubled and scored the go-ahead run last night.
Jon Lester is in midseason form early this year
Each of the last two seasons, Jon Lester has put together impressive years despite struggling mightily in April. Not so this year, as the Boston Herald's Steve Buckley cheekily notes this morning.
After a dominating eight-inning performance last night, Boston's ace lefty finished the month with a 3-1 record, 1.12 WHIP, 2.52 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings this month. There's room for improvement, but considering he was 1-2 with a number of duds in 2008, 2009 AND 2010, it's nice to see a bad habit kicked.
Our long national nightmare month is nearly over
To be fair, the beginning of this Red Sox season was atrocious. It seemed like almost nothing went right in a 2-10 start, and some players -- Crawford, in particular -- appear to be still shaking loose the cob webs.
However, if somebody had said then that they'd be close to .500 (10-13) with two games left in the month, we'd have all taken it gladly.
Things are getting sorted out, slowly but surely.

The damage estimate for a two-alarm apartment complex fire this morning is more than $1 million, according to the Vancouver Fire Department.
More than 30 people were displaced by the fire and about a dozen apartments in one building were affected, said Vancouver fire spokesman Jim Flaherty.
Firefighters were called to the Springbrook Village Apartments at 11328 N.E. 51st Circle shortly before 6 a.m. and arrived to find fire coming through the roof of the building. Smoke detectors and sprinklers were working and no injuries were reported.
The preliminary damage estimate is $1.1 million.
A preliminary investigation suggests that a discarded cigarette on a second-story wood deck caused the fire.

If you're a first-time parent, breastfeeding your newborn may seem complicated until you've had some practice. But a little preparation can help you feel more comfortable.
Before you begin nursing, take a look at your surroundings. Many mothers like to sit in a glider or in a cozy chair with armrests. Footstools and pillows can provide extra support (try donut-type nursing pillows or "husband" back pillows with arms on each side for nursing in bed).
It's also important to find a comfortable nursing position (or hold) for both you and your baby. Here are some common ones to consider.
This is the first hold many mothers will try, often soon after their babies are born. To start, cradle your baby's head in the crook of your arm with your baby's nose opposite your nipple. Use that hand to support your baby's bottom. Turn your baby on his or her side, so that your baby is belly to belly to you. Then, raise your baby to your breast. You can support your breast with your other hand.
This hold is similar to the cradle hold, but your arms are positioned differently. Instead of supporting your baby's head in the crook of your arm, use the hand of that arm to support your breast. Your opposite arm should come around the back of your baby. Support your baby's head, neck, and shoulder by placing your hand at the base of your baby's head with your thumb and index finger at your baby's ear level. Like the cradle hold, your baby will be belly to belly to you. You may need to use a pillow on your lap to raise your baby to nipple level.
The cross-cradle position allows you to have more control over how your baby latches on. Many moms find that they're able to get their babies latched on more deeply with this hold.
This position is comfortable for mothers who've had a cesarean section (C-section) because the baby doesn't put pressure on the mother's abdomen. This is also a great way for you to get some rest while nursing your baby, but return your baby to the crib or bassinet before falling asleep.
Start by lying on your side with your baby on his or her side, facing you. Your baby should be positioned so his or her nose is opposite your nipple. Use your lower arm to cradle your baby's back, or you can tuck a rolled-up receiving blanket behind your baby to help nestle your little one close to you while you use your arm to support your own head. You can support your breast with your other hand.
This is also a good position for the mom who's had a C-section and also for mothers with large breasts or small babies. Mothers with twins who want to feed the babies at the same time may also choose this position.
The football hold allows babies to take milk more easily — which is also good for mothers with a forceful milk ejection reflex (or let down).
To achieve the clutch (or football) hold, place a pillow next to you. Cradle your baby — facing upward — in your arm. Use the palm of your hand on that same arm to support his or her neck, and nestle your baby's side closely against your side. Your baby's feet and legs should be tucked under your arm. Then lift your baby to your breast.
After your baby is positioned correctly, make sure he or she latches on (takes the breast into his or her mouth) properly:
When properly latched on, you may have 30 to 60 seconds of latch-on pain (this is caused by the nipple and areola being pulled into your baby's mouth), then the pain should subside. It will then feel like a tug when your baby is sucking. If you continue to feel pain, stop feeding momentarily and reposition your baby on your breast.
Your baby should give four to five sucks, followed by a 5- to 10-second pause. Your baby's sucks will increase in number as the quantity of your milk increases. As the milk flow slows, your baby's pattern will probably change to three or four sucks and pauses that last longer than 10 seconds.
Most babies will release the breast on their own. If your baby doesn't release your breast but the sucks now seem limited to the front of his or her mouth, you can slip your finger in the side of your baby's mouth (between the gums) and then turn your finger a quarter turn to break the suction. Then, try to burp your baby and switch him or her to the other breast.
If your baby consistently latches on improperly, sucking on your nipple without getting much of your areola in the mouth, you'll probably feel discomfort throughout each feeding. Some moms say it's painful or feels like a pinch as their babies nurse.
Babies who tend to latch on incorrectly will also frequently sleep at the breast and may not seem satisfied because they may not be getting enough. If either of these occurs, break the suction and reposition your baby onto your breast to include the nipple and areola.
Call your child's doctor or a lactation consultant if:
Your baby's diapers are excellent indicators of whether your breastfed baby is getting what he or she needs. Because the first milk your newborn gets (known as colostrum) is concentrated, your baby may have only one or two wet diapers until your milk comes in, which is usually about 3 or 4 days after the birth.
After 4 days, here are some signs you should look for:
Your breastfed baby is also probably getting enough if he or she:
If your baby seems to be getting enough milk, but continues to suck for an hour or more, your little one might be nursing for comfort rather than for nourishment. So, how do you know? Once your baby has fed well, he or she may stay on your breast but:
If your baby is showing these signs of non-nutritive sucking (or pacifying), you may want to offer your infant his or her thumb or hand to suck on. You could also consider giving your little one a pacifier. However, because early use of a pacifier makes it less likely that a mother and baby will continue breastfeeding, you should only do this after breastfeeding is well established (usually after 1 month).
After that point, a bottle and pacifier may be introduced — with the realization that even then it may cause your baby to have "nipple confusion," undermining your breastfeeding efforts. The other concern about using a pacifier is that your child might still be hungry and actually needs to feed.
Nursing can be one of the most challenging but rewarding experiences you'll have as a mother. As you become more used to breastfeeding your baby, you can try different positions or modify the four basic ones.
Experiment with the different holds until you find a position that lets your baby nurse successfully and allows you to feel comfortable. You and your baby will soon find that nursing can be a relaxing, great way to bond.

William Smith lives with his aunt and uncle, who work as laborers on a grape farm. With no toys or activities to keep him busy, William sought out neglected bird nests to nurse the baby birds. William had spotted two nests on the pylon and climbed it like a ladder. But before he reached the top, thousands of volts of electricity bolted through his small body, searing his limbs and charring his right arm to the bone.
When he woke up four days later at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town, William discovered he would lose his right arm. On his left arm, he retained a stump that ends just below the elbow.
That's also when he met Sascha Archer. The native of Port Townsend, Wash., lived in Portland for 12 years, teaching middle-school Spanish at Self Enhancement Inc., before finding her calling in art therapy. After earning her master's degree from the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute in British Columbia, she decided to join her aunt and uncle in Cape Town and found a position at the nonprofit Community Arts Therapy Programme.
Art therapy combines visual art with psychotherapy and helps treat a variety of mental and emotional issues. The process offers a nonverbal way of expressing emotions that might be difficult to vocalize.
In the burn unit at the Red Cross hospital, art therapy offers a distraction from the daily skin grafts and dressing changes most of the kids endure.
When Archer first noticed William, the boy was mute, sedentary, depressed and highly traumatized. Still, he intently watched her work.
Then inspiration struck.
"I put a pen in my mouth and wrote, 'Hi, William,' and I showed it to him," she recalls. "His eyes just totally lit up."
William's recovery rate accelerated, and he was soon drawing with his mouth and feet. Archer increased her volunteer days from one to six days a week during the 4 1/2 months he was hospitalized.
"It was just so amazing to see that transformation," she says. "He was joyful, outgoing and confident. He just absolutely loved doing the art."
William amazed Archer -- and everyone in the burn unit -- because he never cried. With his resiliency, joy and laughter, he tugged at her heartstrings and didn't let go.
"He always says, 'I just have to be brave and so do you,'" she says.
As William's confidence grew, the two began walking outside the hospital and came upon a rarely used outdoor pool.
Knowing water's therapeutic powers, Archer got permission to re-teach him to swim.
William learned how to propel himself up and down with his head and upper body like a dolphin, floated on his back and even performed headstands on the bottom of the pool.
Aside from swimming without arms, William has learned four languages at the Red Cross Children's Hospital and painted more than 200 images.
William was discharged from the hospital in the beginning of April and has returned home.
But Archer wasn't finished; she felt William's story needed to be told. Archer approached a filmmaker friend, Jo Higgs of Go Trolley Films.
Higgs was experiencing an emotionally tough time herself. Watching William bravely adjust to his new armless existence with exuberance, despite his pre-adolescent awkwardness, gave her hope.
"The making of the film made him feel like his new body and his recovering self were something interesting, something special -- not something freakish -- and this emboldened him," Higgs says in an email from Cape Town. The highlight for Higgs was being present at William's first viewing of the film "watching his face as he saw himself on a cinema screen represented not as a damaged little boy but as a warrior."
The movie's title, "Driving William," comes from William's dream to one day own a car. In the film, he is inspired by a woman born without arms who drives herself to work each day.
Archer and Higgs are entering the film in international film festivals, sending it to TV stations and screening it.
Archer has a threefold goal for the screenings: She wants to shed light on what she calls an "invisible" disability culture in South Africa, where burn victims are often ostracized or institutionalized. Archer also hopes to bring attention to the field of art therapy, which is still so new in South Africa that she says the country doesn't yet offer a degree in the field. And last -- but certainly not least -- she wants to outfit William with a prosthetic arm. Good ones cost $75,000.
The Portland screenings will take place at the Hollywood Theatre, where all proceeds from the ticket sales will go toward William's cause. The theater offers a special rate for independent filmmakers and nonprofits and hosts about 50 such screenings a year, says theater executive director Doug Whyte.
Since the theater is a nonprofit organization subsidized by grants, it's able to serve as a community space ideal for nonprofits and independent filmmakers.
"We like having them here and giving them a space, and plus it brings our constituents out," Whyte says of such groups. "Every day we're doing whatever we can to drum up income so we can make it an affordable space for others as well."
In addition to the Portland screenings and another scheduled for Lake Oswego, Archer is back in town to tie up some loose ends, apply for a work visa and raise money for William's prosthesis -- and mull three job offers in Cape Town. Her ultimate goal is to return to William, now 12. She wants to help transition him to a boarding school, and she's considering fostering or adopting him.
Archer continues to be inspired by William's resiliency and determination.
"He's like a little old soul," she says. "He's been through so much more than what any of us can imagine, but he just keeps plugging along."

|Is Christianity's future in China?
|Written by Sherry
|Tuesday, 07 August 2007 15:57
Take a look at this extraordinary editorial in today's Asia Times about the global implications of the Rise of Christianity in Asia. It expands on the John Allen article that Fr. Mike blogged about last week.
Ten thousand Chinese become Christians each day, according to a stunning report by the National Catholic Reporter's veteran correspondent John Allen, and 200 million Chinese may comprise the world's largest concentration of Christians by mid-century, and the largest missionary force in history. [1] If you read a single news article about China this year, make sure it is this one.
I suspect that even the most enthusiastic accounts err on the downside, and that Christianity will have become a Sino-centric religion two generations from now. China may be for the 21st century what Europe was during the 8th-11th centuries, and America has been during the past 200 years: the natural ground for mass evangelization. If this occurs, the world will change beyond our capacity to recognize it.
People do not live in a spiritual vacuum; where a spiritual vacuum exists, as in western Europe and the former Soviet Empire, people simply die, or fail to breed. In the traditional world, people see themselves as part of nature, unchangeable and constant, and worship their surroundings, their ancestors and themselves. When war or economics tear people away from their roots in traditional life, what once appeared constant now is shown to be ephemeral. Christianity is the great liquidator of traditional society, calling individuals out of their tribes and nations to join the ekklesia, which transcends race and nation. In China, communism leveled traditional society, and erased the great Confucian idea of society as an extension of the loyalties and responsibility of families. Children informing on their parents during the Cultural Revolution put paid to that.
Now the great migrations throw into the urban melting pot a half-dozen language groups who once lived isolated from one another. Not for more than a thousand years have so many people in the same place had such good reason to view as ephemeral all that they long considered to be fixed, and to ask themselves: "What is the purpose of my life?"
The World Christian Database offers by far the largest estimate of the number of Chinese Christians at 111 million, of whom 90% are Protestant, mostly Pentecostals. Other estimates are considerably lower, but no matter; what counts is the growth rate. This uniquely American denomination, which claims the inspiration to speak in tongues like Jesus' own disciples and to prophesy, is the world's fastest-growing religious movement, with 500,000 adherents. In contrast to Catholicism, which has a very long historic presence in China but whose growth has been slow, charismatic Protestantism has found its natural element in an atmosphere of official suppression. Barred from churches, Chinese began worshipping in homes, and five major "house church" movements and countless smaller ones now minister to as many as 100 million Christians. [2] This quasi-underground movement may now exceed in adherents the 75 million members of the Chinese Communist Party; in a generation it will be the most powerful force in the country.
While the Catholic Church has worked patiently for independence from the Chinese government, which sponsors a "Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association" with government-appointed bishops, the evangelicals have no infrastructure to suppress and no hierarchy to protect. In contrast to Catholic caution, John Allen observes, "Most Pentecostals would obviously welcome being arrested less frequently, but in general they are not waiting for legal or political reform before carrying out aggressive evangelization programs."
Sherry's note:
These realities have been written about by evangelicals for 25 years but are now just being acknowledged by Catholics and the secular press.
While we've been endlessly debating the Second Vatican Council and it's implementation and ramifications, the world has revolved around us - and we euro-centric western Christians, are no longer at the center.
Of course, Africa and South American will also be vigorous centers of 21st century and beyond Christianity, so Sino-centric Christianity is hardly a slam dunk. And the US will remain the largest Christian nation in the world through 2050.
But as Catholics, we have to grasp that our fixation on the intra-western cultural battles of the past 40 years is only one important debate within true global Christianity. It has to be at least matched with an awareness of the fact that non-western Christianity is going to be at least as important, if not more so, in the next few centuries.

Eastern New Mexico University's Cross Campus ministry had fraternity and sorority students over for an evening of outdoor cooking and indoor video games Wednesday. Most of the guests were from sororities or female fraternities who said they were looking to make new friends.
Keeley Angel of Zeta Tau Alpha women's fraternity was like most of the guests.
"We just wanted to meet some people who are Christian," Angel said. "We are a Christian-based fraternity."
Clinton Hill, a junior at ENMU is the treasurer of Cross Campus ministry which is affiliated with the United Church of Christ. He said the ministry wanted to reach out to college fraternities.
"Fraternities are always doing things for people, so we wanted to pay them back," Hill said. "You wouldn't see something like this (fraternities and other students socializing en masse) at a bigger school."
Hill met "the love of his life," Kelsey Jones, at a Cross Campus function.
"We met at a Cross Campus retreat in Ruidoso," Jones said. "Tonight we are trying to open new doors of friendship. It gives the fraternity members the opportunity to come have fun in a different atmosphere than what they're used to."
Valerie Smith and Malia Rummell of Chi Omega sorority said their sorority is based on Christian morals but women of any religion are permitted to join. The two were joined by five other sorority members at the cookout and said more sorority members would show up later.
"I chose to come here because I wanted to meet new people," Smith said. "I've always enjoyed going to different Christian activities."
Brad Shuber and Joe Tovar of Sigma Alpha Epsilon were part of the few male fraternity members who showed up for the free hamburgers, hot dogs and the chance to meet about 20 or so females who attended the cookout. They said they were both Christian and open to becoming members of Cross Campus ministry if they found they liked it.
X-Box games were set up for anyone wanting to play after the cookout. Cross Campus members said they'd keep the building open until everybody got tired.
Cross Campus Ministries provides a free dinner to ENMU students every Friday at noon.

^^^ Just read that myself not too long ago.
It's a really fun read. It's really fun traveling along with the band on their tour; i imagine even non fans would find it to be an enjoyable read. The interview sections are indeed illuminating, although i will admit to skimming through the more dedicated 'technical' section at the end; just found it too dense although i have every intention of revisiting it. I found the technical/theory parts peppered throughout the road trip and conversations with Graham Lock more bite sized and therefore easier to digest.

UPDATED: 12:02 a.m.
Major league sources say the Indians would trade last year's Cy Young winner if they could get enough pitching in return. Right-hander Clay Buchholz would be a good starting point, but ESPN reported Wednesday that after Boston turned down a trade that would have sent Buchholz to Cleveland for first baseman/catcher Victor Martinez, the Red Sox acquired first baseman Adam LaRoche from Pittsburgh on Wednesday for prospects.
GM Mark Shapiro, by e-mail, denied that report. Boston, however, still appears interested in Lee. They had a scout at Rogers Centre on Tuesday to watch Lee beat the Blue Jays, 2-1, on a seven-hitter.
When asked if he felt the Indians would make a trade before the July 31st deadline for making deals without waivers, manager Eric Wedge said, "There is a possibility. In this day and age, it's possible until the very end. The landscape can change overnight."
Wedge said he had no idea who the Indians might trade, but Martinez and Lee are their most attractive players.
Shapiro has made it clear that in any trade he makes he wants, "pitching, pitching and more pitching. It doesn't matter if it's starting pitching or relievers."
The Dodgers, Phillies and Brewers, along with Boston, watched Lee on Tuesday. Tampa Bay, according to Fox Sports.com, is also looking at Lee, while the Angels may have interest in reliever Rafael Betancourt.
The Red Sox activated Buchholz on Wednesday when they placed Tim Wakefield on the disabled list. He made a start Friday against Toronto and was sent to Class AAA Pawtucket the next day.
Buchholz, 7-2 with a 2.36 ERA at Pawtucket, threw a no-hitter for Boston in 2007.
The Pirates received shortstop Argenis Diaz and right-hander Hunter Strickland for LaRoche. The Red Sox also traded shortstop Julio Lugo to St. Louis for outfielder Chris Duncan.
Wedge said a move will have to be made to create a roster spot for Sowers, who is 2-7 with a 5.77 ERA with the Indians this year. He lost his last two starts and is 1-5 in his last eight starts.
After Sowers lost to the White Sox on July 7, the Indians considered moving him to the bullpen. Instead they optioned him to Class AAA Columbus so he could stay in the rotation.
"There's such a shortage of starters in the game," said Wedge, "and such a shortage of starters in our organization that if you have someone you think can be a consistent starter for you have this level, you have to give him every chance to be that."
Sowers' problem has been getting past the fifth and sixth innings.
"With Jeremy, it's become bigger than it should be," said Wedge. "I think he just has to stay on line with what he did in the first four or five innings."
It was unclear how long Sowers would remain in the rotation.
Carmona update: Fausto Carmona, wandering through the minors since June 5, started for Columbus on Tuesday against Scranton Wilkes-Barre. He allowed two runs on five hits in seven innings in a 2-1 loss.
He struck out eight and walked one in 97 pitches.
"Fausto had another good game at that level," said Wedge.
Since Carmona was optioned to the Arizona Rookie League, Wedge has maintained there's no timetable on his return.
"We haven't made any decisions yet," said Wedge. "We should know more in the next day or two."
Carmona has made six minor-league starts. He's 1-2 with a 3.46 ERA in four starts at Columbus, 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA at Class AA Akron and 1-0 with at Class A Lake County.
Well placed: Ryan Garko said the artificial turf at Rogers Centre helped him beat out Tuesday's rally-starting pinch-hit infield single in the ninth inning. The rally resulted in a 2-1 victory.
"I never thought I'd say Ryan Garko and infield hit in the same sentence," said Wedge. "Kudos to him for the hustle."
Garko is 2-for-8 as a pinch-hitter this year. He enters Thursday's game against the Blue Jays having hit in 15 of his last 18 games.

Casting aside centuries of history, Pope Benedict XVI set a decidedly modern standard for future Roman Catholic pontiffs yesterday by announcing that he would retire because he feels too weak "in mind and body".
The abdication propels the Church towards an almost-unprecedented position in which the new pope will take office while his predecessor is still alive.
It also raises the prospect of the first black pope, with Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana a favourite candidate.
Benedict said that he would step down at 7pm (GMT) on February 28, giving time for a conclave of cardinals to elect a new

DETROIT -- Nate Robertson kept the hottest-hitting team in baseball from breaking out, and the Tigers jumped all over a pitcher who had been lights-out for the past month.
The result was a 6-4 Detroit win that broke a seven-game winning streak for the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night at Comerica Park.
The White Sox entered the game hitting .341 with 19 homers and 64 runs scored in their first eight games of June, but Robertson had a quality start against them by allowing three runs in 6 1/3 innings.
Detroit scored six runs off Chicago starter Jose Contreras, who had allowed six runs total in his last five outings covering 35 innings. Contreras entered the game with six straight starts in which he allowed no more than two runs and pitched at least six innings.
"Everyone went out aggressive and it worked well," said rookie left fielder Brent Clevlen, who had two singles.
• Tuesday's game: Brent Clevlen made the big play, Miguel Cabrera got the big hit and the pitching was solid as the Tigers won, 6-4, and broke a seven-game White Sox winning streak.
Miguel Cabrera had a two-out, two-run single in the fifth inning, and had three hits. He hit a double in the fourth inning, and then scored Detroit's first win on a single by rookie designated hitter Jeff Larish.
Cabrera was hitting .226 with 12 strikeouts in his previous 14 games, and Leyland says he thinks Cabrera has been putting pressure on himself to live up to the eight-year, $152.3 million contract extension he signed with the Tigers in March.
"I think he understands we just need him to be part of the team," Leyland said. "I just want him to relax and have fun. He's going to be a real good Tiger for a long time, but he doesn't have to prove that to me overnight."
Cabrera declined interview requests after the game.
Clevlen had a break-out game with two hits, one RBI, one run and a perfect throw to the plate that took the breath out of a Chicago rally.
The White Sox cut the lead to 6-4 and had runners on first and second with one out, when Jim Thome slapped a single to left. Third base coach Jeff Cox never hesitated in sending Carlos Quentin from second to home.
Clevlen charged the hit, came up throwing and threw a one-hop strike to catcher Ivan Rodriguez, who applied the tag.
"That was a game-saving play," Leyland said.
The 38,295 at Comerica Park erupted and Rodriguez pumped his fist in the air. Any momentum the hot-hitting Sox were gaining came to an abrupt halt.
"That's chills right there," Clevlen said. "It made the hair on my arms stand up. Keeping a guy from scoring there makes the ninth inning easier with a two-run lead."
Todd Jones allowed a lead-off walk in the ninth, but got Joe Crede to hit into a double play. Crede hit .611 with five homers last week to earn co-American League Player of the Week honors.
Alexei Ramirez got a two-out single, but Orlando Cabrera flew out to center to end the game. It was the 11th save for Jones this season and the 312th of his career, moving him into 16th place all-time by breaking a tie for that spot with Tom Henke.
Rodriguez's bat came alive in this one with two hits, and he scored after hitting a double in the sixth inning. It was his first start since Leyland announced his plan to alternate Rodriguez and Brandon Inge at catcher. Inge will start today against Javier Vazquez.
"He's going to be mad," Leyland said of Rodriguez, "but maybe he was fresh because he got a rest. Everybody wants Pudge to play; I want Pudge to play. But you do get tired. I am going to do what's best for the Detroit Tigers and Pudge Rodriguez.
"He's got good numbers against Vazquez, but I'm going to rest him. He looked fresher to me tonight, and I'm going to stay with this for a bit."
Thome hit a solo homer off Robertson in the second inning. It was his 13th of the season and 54th career homer against the Tigers, the most for any active player against them.
But the Sox couldn't put together the big inning that had carried them during their winning streak, and Detroit used a three-run fifth inning to tie the game and then take the lead it never relinquished.

Attention, poor people, you lucky dogs.
Rand Paul, the likely next senator from Kentucky and scion of Tea Party godfather Ron Paul, took time out from his busy schedule crying over BP's unfair treatment by government thugs to stick a thumb in your eye:
"The poor in our country are enormously better off than the rest of the world," Paul said this week. "Doesn't mean we can't do better, but we have to acknowledge and be proud of our system of capitalism, be proud of our American way."
Yes, indeedy. It sure is great to be poor. I've often wondered how our politicians -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- would like a little taste of what it's like to be on food stamps or experience the fear of not being able to pay your rent the next month or clothe your children. It might provide a little perspective.
Oh, well. Too bad the homeless have such crappy lobbyists.
Which reminds me. Although I've long since been off her Christmas card list, I do like to acknowledge when the governor does something right. So kudos to Jennifer Granholm for building a Habitat for Humanity house -- especially when the entire town of Lansing is on vacation or the campaign trail.

IN last Saturday's charity competition in aid of Midwives In Malawi, played in the early morning snow, Peter Henderson ploughed round in 40 points to win.
No sign of a midwife crisis there, then.
On Sunday, the Christmas Crackers competition resumed and it was two stalwarts of the winter game that leapt to the fore – Billy MacDonald pipping Norman Roxburgh by a shot.
In the twos sweep, last week's tears turned to cheers as R. J. Wilson holed out in two at the sixth to be the only cracker winner of the day.
Tonight (Friday), it is the club's presentation night when prizes will be given out, golf videos will be shown and a free buffet will be enjoyed by members and friends.
It all starts at 7.30pm.

Norway grad assists Ironwood
March 22, 2013 - Burt Angeli
If not for an injury to a star player, a Norway High School reunion may have been staged in the Class C boys basketball regional tournament at Escanaba.
Coach Ben Leiker's Knights shook off a shaky regular season to win the district title and reach the regional. Ironwood, with 2002 Norway grad Tom Mott helping out, advanced to a district final but experienced back luck.
With standout Adam Mackey sidelined by an injury, Ironwood fell to Houghton in the district championship. The Gremlins followed that victory by besting Norway in the regional opener.
Mott played on a Norway team that "was just full of athletes." Leiker said. "Tom didn't play as much as he would have loved to. He's a nice kid, good kid."
Tony Mendina, Mark Henrion and Paul Kraemer earned All-U.P. nominations from Norway's 2002 team.
Mott assists Ironwood head coach Pete Lewinski. The Indianhead Conference champion Red Devils capped the regular season with 17-3 overall and 14-2 league records. They graduate just two players from this year's squad.
"We've had an outstanding season," Lewinski said after the district final setback. "Starting the 21st game, we didn't have a single injury all year. And the 21st game, we go down with an injury, so you never know what's going to happen. Sometimes, fate, luck or whatever."

With Video Collaboration from IVCi it's never been easier to: Access Specialists Quickly. Reduce Readmissions. And Increase Operational Efficiencies.
VIDEO COLLABORATION extends & enhances the Healthcare Provider-Patient relationship. It allows for monitoring & diagnoses remotely, saving time for everyone. But it also allows for much more, including: making distances disappear, facilitating R&R, having a convenient central location – everywhere, and with remote visual teams and consulting.
"Health spas, stone fireplaces, and five-star restaurant chefs are amenities increasingly found… in U.S. hospitals eager to improve their patient-experience scores that now affect Medicare reimbursements. While investing in such material assets is easily done and provides immediate gratification, findings from our research using six years of data from nearly 3,000 acute-care hospitals suggest that it is the communication between caregivers and patients that has the largest impact on reducing readmissions."

The concept mirrors a trend to employ nurses to solve health care's woes-- one that has been making news.
Nurses and nurse practitioners are increasingly seen as a means to improve health care in a cost-effective way. The health care community is embracing nurse-led care, nurse-led clinics, and nurse-led "medical homes" similar to those that are the center of the Oregon health care reform.
Not every aspect of empowered nurses is welcomed. The trend in which nurses increasingly earn doctorates has caused concern among some physicians.
The issues around empowered nursing strike a chord in a profession dominated by women. As one self-described Portland nurse who also holds a doctorate points out in her blog, women in nursing are subjected to sexual harassment, face retaliation when they blow the whistle on bad doctors, and yet get little attention from traditional feminist voices.
Despite the spread of Releasing Time to Care in the United Kingdom, articles about dissatisfaction among nurses there suggests the program has not proved a panacea for poor workplace conditions.
What follows are some links to catch you up to speed on issues of empowerment in nursing.
Nurse practitioners' growing role in your health care (MarketWatch)
Nurse-Led Medical Homes: Current Status and Future Plans (Medscape news)
Nursing groups have long noted the need for inclusion of nurses in medical homes, including as leaders. This recognition was the impetus behind a recent meeting titled "Nurse-Led Medical Homes -- Increasing Access to Quality Care."
When the Nurse Wants to Be Called 'Doctor' (New York Times)
Why Has Feminism Abandoned Nurses? (Florid Nightingale blog)
So, in nursing we have an underfunded, under-appreciated caring profession that gets little recognition and encounters active opposition to efforts to advance our status. Ninety-three percent of us are women.
Carry on, nurse (The Herald of Scotland)
POSSIBLY worse than any financial crisis in the Scottish NHS is the news that nurses are at breaking point because of unmanageable workloads, fears over job security and concerns about falling standards in hospitals.

I have also used a PIS before and I think the Freestyle is more effective than the PIS. I know different pumps work differently for every woman, but I get much more out with the Freestyle than I do the PIS.

Hi - and congrats on your new arrival!!!
It is not ideal when LO is poorly and cannot feed directly - I know from personal experience. I also know how demoralising it is not to be producing more than a few cc of milk. I too was in that position when I brought my LO home from the hospital.
Don't despair - you are producing milk so you can re lactate or rather boost your supply. And more easily than if you had dried up so hang on to that.
Not having had access to milk banks where I am in the UK what worked for me/us is as follows.
1 I bought a PISA - I rather like it tbh - and pumped 10 times a day, 20 mins a time for 4 solid days. ON LOW SUCTION TO BEGIN WITH
2 I kept a chart of milk production, ebm fed to baby and formula fed to baby so I could really keep an eye on how I was doing. It helped HEAPS to see that each day I was producing a little more (and it was literally 5-10ml difference each time) as it meant each day I could cut back on giving formula as I was producing more milk myself!
3 I made my other half's life a living hell - he was up and down making cups of tea, fetching snacks, changing baby, letting me get as much rest as I could and letting me concentrate on milking
4 Mother's Love milk capsules - the really strong version. I have to be honest and found I had to take WAAYY more than the recommended dose to see a massive increase but am now down to a lower than suggested daily dose now my supply has evened out
5 Plenty of nutrient rich food - nuts, seeds (assuming you and your LO don't have allergies), lots of fresh fruit and yoghurt if you can do dairy. Plenty of fluids (chamomile tea might help if only from a relaxing POV)
6 Keep putting baby to the breast - even if she dosen't actualy do more than chew at you it will be a comfort for her and yur body will respond more effectively to the pump.
7 Kamillosan nipple cream - heals abrasions really quickly and you can pump w/out it harming the milk.
Oh and give yourself (if possible) the time and space to allow things to happen at your own pace. It took me about 3 weeks before I could stop feeding formula to my LO and another couple before I could stop having a batch in the fridge "just in case". I am now in the situation of having to throw milk out because i am producing more than my HUNGRY baby can glug down. I have him to my breast 3-4 times a day and he does get some direct from the source which is fab but not his primary source of getting the milk.
Keeping my fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you!!

ABC and the Academy hyped the "reunion" of the Avengers cast (well five of them anyway), but did someone forget to write the script? Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner were hardly entertaining. Whatever bit they were supposed to do didn't work with the audience at home or in the theater and by their second category it all seemed pointless. Perhaps they can make it up at Comic-Con this summer.

Kids have definite ideas about what to wear
Time was, little kids wore what their parents put them in. These days, even kindergartners are right on top of each season's trends and guiding use of the parental wallet.
"I can tell you one of my employees has six-and four-year-old daughters," Kevin Meloche, Zellers' general merchandise manager for children's wear, said in an interview. "She had to meet them at the mall yesterday.

Vancouver -
Time was, little kids wore what their parents put them in. These days, even kindergartners are right on top of each season's trends and guiding use of the parental wallet.
"I can tell you one of my employees has six-and four-year-old daughters," Kevin Meloche, Zellers' general merchandise manager for children's wear, said in an interview. "She had to meet them at the mall yesterday.
"They have an opinion. They were walking by, and (one little girl) saw these rubber rainboots - chocolate brown and pink polka-dots - grabbed them and had to have these, and she's six. That's real young," Meloche said. In case you are among the uninitiated, chocolate brown and pink is as hot as you can get.
Wired kids have up-to-the-minute knowledge of the trends and are more fickle than ever, Meloche said. As a merchandiser, there is no room for error.
"You better have the right trend on the floor, because if you don't, it's not going to sell," he said.
While adult runway fashions used to take a year to appear in the children's market, they are now appearing in the same season, he said.
This spring, think '60s love, peace and flower power mixed in with '80s high colour penetration. Think citrus bright, acid-washed and tie-dye, he said.
"The graphics are '80s-inspired. They are vibrant; they are bright ... In girls it's all about butterflies and small floral prints. Lots of peace signs."
You'll see colourful leggings beneath casual tunics reminiscent of the movie "Flashdance," and plenty of that aforementioned brown and pink, Meloche predicted.
Boys' clothing is all about extreme graphics with skulls and crossbones, iron crosses and eagles. It's a skateboarder feel, Meloche explained. Even the polo shirts have extreme graphics across the shoulder or on the bottom of the shirt.
Also big this spring is nautical styling - wide-legged sailor pants, with a crisp red, white and blue colour palette, said Stefanie Missler, an owner of Dandelion Kids in Vancouver and Port Moody.
Vans has created a boat shoe with a "cooler, skateboard-y thing going on. It's got lacing and is in navy," Missler said. "The traditional deck shoes are the domain of preppy teenagers. This is a bit edgier and not as literal. It has a thicker sole and the tread is really flat.
"We're seeing lots of jumpsuits, which I love," Missler said. "We have one in particular, with beehiving and balloony pants. It's a voluminous and comfy, funky little outfit they can still climb trees in, for ages one to nine years."
For girls, she's seeing little tunics with tiered ruffles in small floral prints and punchy '80s colours.
At the top end, Laura Spencelayh, manager of Babes on Fourth said Burberry is their most popular line this season.
"I think it's because there's a real big trend of parents wanting to show off their kids," Spencelayh said.
"It's only our second season with Burberry, and we are just amazed at how popular it is. It's a very traditional, classic look. ... We have a fabulous white, yoked girl's raincoat ($300). It's one of those you could buy now, put your kids in it and save it for your grandkids."
Other popular items this season are, for girls, polo tops with puff sleeves in the traditional Burberry plaid with white Bermuda shorts, and for boys, black cuffed shorts in both Hugo Boss and Burberry with orange, blue, red or white polo shirts.
Babywear reflects trends in children's wear, said Lisa Malcic of Beba Bean, which sells baby gifts and apparel in Coquitlam. Pantone, the colour company, has chosen turquoise as its colour for spring-summer 2010. In baby wear, it translates into soft turquoise, and for tweens, it's almost fluorescent.
Lisa Will of Stonz children's outdoor wear, which makes its product at Venables and Commercial in Vancouver, said plaids are so big she's had trouble finding them for her boots. Parents might choose conservative tans for themselves, but they are adventurous with kids' clothing.
"Dark brown with dusty rose or denim blue is still our bestseller," Will said. "Brown with lime green is also hot."

King County libraries seek property tax levy in Feb. election
For the Feb. 9 election, the King County Library System (KCLS) will ask voters to approve a property tax levy lid lift for one year. Proposition 1 seeks to restore the tax levy rate to 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value for collection in 2011. If Proposition 1 passes, KCLS will be able to maintain its current level of services at all 44 libraries. The measure's failure would lead to budget cuts between 10 percent and 15 percent across the organization, according to KCLS, which receives 96 percent of its operating revenue from property taxes. The cuts could result in reduced maintenance of facilities, reduced availability of computers and increased wait times for popular titles, KCLS said.
A homeowner would pay an increase of about $32 on a home assessed at $400,000 to restore the library property tax levy rate to 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. Note: A levy lid lift is for operations, and a capital bond measure is for the building of facilities and other infrastructure.
The voter's pamphlet contains a statement against Proposition 1. The statement calls the proposal a burden to taxpayers and said the proposal covers costly nonessentials including "entertainment diversions."

MONTPELIER (AP) - The head of a Vermont community service organization says as another powerful storm hits the region, he's hearing from more and more people desperate to fill empty fuel tanks to keep warm.
Hal Cohen of the Central Vermont Community Action Council said families seeking fuel assistance usually see some relief by March, but this year, cold temperatures have kept demand high. After the storm, weather forecasters also say a cold front will hit the region through Thursday and Friday.
According to Cohen, the need for fuel leads people to scrimp on buying food, so they tend to lean more on food pantries.
Organizations like Just Basics and Vermont Foodbank say they prepared ahead of Wednesdays' storm to make sure food was available for needy Vermonters.

What happens when a half-boy, half-bat comes out of his cave and into the lives of a small West Virginia town? The answer is the dark comedy of "Bat Boy: The Musical," being presented by the Westfield High School Theatre Department on Thursday, March 14; Friday, March 15; and Saturday, March 16. All performances are at 7:30 p.m., on the main stage of Westfield High School, located at 550 Dorian Road.
Inspired by an infamous 1992 article in the Weekly World News tabloid, the show tells the story of Edgar, a fanged, pointy-eared "Bat Boy" who is discovered living in a cave. Edgar's attempts to renounce his bloodthirsty nature -- and find love and acceptance within the community -- lead to some shocking and wickedly funny consequences.
The role of Edgar will be played by Matthew Lynn. Geoffrey Ko and Isabelle Smelkinson play local veterinarian Dr. Thomas Parker and his wife, Meredith, who take Edgar into their home and attempt to civilize him. Michaela Tropeano plays the Parker's rebellious teenage daughter, Shelley, who ends up falling in love with Edgar.
Director Daniel Devlin, the theatre teacher at the high school, has described Bat Boy: The Musical as "kind of like Sweeney Todd meets Avenue Q meets Book of Mormon (with an outstanding Rocky Horror-inspired score). However, Devlin stressed that the show is more than just a spoof of the horror-film genre. "Its themes and messages delve into important societal issues, including bullying, tolerance and acceptance of others," he said.
"It's so exciting to share the lessons that his story has to offer with the audience," said Lynn, who played the title role in last year's musical, Pippin. Lynn said being part of the school's theatrical productions has been the highlight of his high school experience. "The Westfield High School theatre department is not just a department; it is a family," he said
Westfield High School's Theatre Department has a reputation for excellence. With winning in eight categories, "Pippin" was the top winner at the 2012 Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards -- more than any other school in the state. In 2011, Westfield High School's production of "Sweeney Todd" won nine Paper Mill awards, including outstanding overall production.
"Bat Boy: The Musical" also features Will Cary, Allie Hecht and Jack Ritter as Rick, Ruthie and Ron Taylor, the three local teenagers who first discover the Bat Boy; Megan Mulrooney plays their mother, Mrs. Taylor, who leads a crusade against Edgar. In addition, the show features Fraser Weist as Sheriff Reynolds, Taylor Jackson as Rev. Billy Hightower, and Jack Mustard as the Greek god Pan.
Maggie Tanji plays Lorraine, and is also the show's dance caption. "Bat Boy: The Musical" also features Nicole Zimmermann as Maggie; Jackie Daaleman as Daisy; Jack Venezia as Mr. Dillon, Frank Guerriero as Bud, Robert Romano as Ned, J.D. Kelly as Roy, Dan Connolly as Clem; Colin Barry as a doctor, and Michael Poyntz as "The Institute Man."
Ensemble members include Marissa Alvarez, Elena Arida, Megan Ariola, Sarah Boyle, Catherine Bruno, Bianca Buecklers, Celia Childs, Daniel Coelho, Claire Dorwart, Lauren Echausse, Alex Frisch, Marisa Garrity, Liz Griesmer, Victoria Guerriero, Madeline Hudelson, Christopher Ick, Jack Kirkland, Michael Kirkland, Katherine Ko, Caity Meixner, Julian Mone, Jeremias Olivera, Abbie Paone, Megan Pinna, Molly Prybylski, Madeleine Rosenthal, Kim Roth and Jessica Zimmermann.
This production's musical director is John Brzozowski, director of choral music at the high school; music is performed by student musicians. Westfield High School art teacher Roy Chambers is the advisor for the student set design team.
Many students play lead roles in the "behind the scenes" production. Lydia Oquendo is the stage manager, and set design is led by Emma Tabachnick and Alison Simon.
Geneva Gleason is head of costumes. Alexa Derman and Asher Horowitz, both 2012 Paper Mill Rising Star Award winners, are back onboard to lead the effort in hair and makeup, and lobby decoration. Horowitz also designed the show's poster.
Seating can be reserved at $12 each by emailing email@example.com or calling 908-884-1866. Westfield High School shows often sell out, advanced purchases are recommended; tickets not sold in advance will be available for sale at the door on the evening of the performance.
Please note that some of the show's content and imagery, although comedic and intended as a nod to several classic "B" horror films, may be inappropriate for younger children.

Jersey City has handed out "merit raises" to more than 80 city workers and some top officials since the start of the year, with some of the workers receiving pay hikes of up to 15 percent.
The city granted the raises to six directors or assistant directors and a handful of donors to Mayor Jerramiah Healy's re-election campaign. More than half of the recipients received hikes of 5 percent or more, while 17 received double-digit increases.
More than 26 of the recipients earned more than $50,000 annually before their raises, while 32 made less than $40,000.
City spokesman Jennifer Morrill said the raises were granted after department heads determined which of their employees deserved merit raises. Morrill said the mayor gave the final OK, with input from the business administrator and budget office.
Ward E City Councilman Steve Fulop, who will face Healy and former high school and college basketball star Jerry Walker in the May 14 city election, blasted the mayor for the raises, saying Healy is spending money "recklessly." Many of the workers deserve a raise, but city taxpayers can't afford it, Fulop said.
"Mayor Healy is attempting to buy this election, compliments of middle-class Jersey City taxpayers," he said. "At the end of the day, a mayor has to be responsible, and buying an election that will be paid for by property tax payers is wrong."
Healy, who received donations from nearly 200 city employees in the final quarter of 2012, said in a statement that many of the employees haven't seen a raise in years and others have assumed additional duties and responsibilities because of the hundreds of city layoffs in recent years.
The raises included pay hikes for CFO Donna Mauer, whose 6 percent increase boosts her salary to $100,299; personnel director Darlene Pharmes, who now makes $100,499 after a 10 percent hike; risk manager Peter Soriero, who received a 5 percent hike that gives him a $96,609 salary; and cultural affairs director Maryanne Kelleher, who now makes $87,488 thanks to a 7 percent raise.

P.A. Sturrock (Stanford University)
Power-spectrum analysis of the Homestake and GALLEX-GNO radiochemical solar neutrino data has shown evidence of the effects of solar rotation and indications of two oscillations that are well known in solar physics: one at about 154 days period (the Rieger periodicity) and another at about 52 days period. We speculate that these periodicities, and another well known periodicity at about 77 days, are due to r-mode oscillations with spherical harmonic indices l = 3 and m = 1, 2, and 3. In the rotating frame, these would have frequencies fR/6, fR/3, and fR/2, where fR is the sidereal rotation rate where the waves are excited. We have combined power spectra formed from both neutrino datasets, and then tested the combined spectrum for the presence of peaks at four related frequencies: the above three r-mode frequencies, and the corresponding synodic frequency fR ñ 1. In the range 0 ñ 20 y-1, we find a strong peak at 13.88 y-1 which falls in the rotation frequency range of the radiative zone. By applying the shuffle test, we find that the probability of obtaining by chance a peak this big or bigger in this range is less than 0.1%. This analysis suggests that Rieger-type periodicities are caused by r-mode oscillations in the radiative zone, and that these oscillations may lead to modulation of the solar neutrino flux, probably by the RSFP (Resonant Spin Flavor Precession) mechanism. This research was supported by the National Science Foundation.
