We develop a rotation method to enumerate the number of sequences meeting additional requirements related to their partial sums. We also define downcrossings about I and their downcrossing numbers and obtain formulas for the number of sequences for which the sum of the downcrossing numbers equals k for I r 1. We finish with an investigation of the first downcrossing number about I for any I. Keywords.

Let Q Qp r Q r denote the collection of all sequences containing p t s and pt r 1 s. For a sequence u G Q let Uj denote its jth digit and let Sk w denote its kth partial sum. That is k Sk E j 1 wj with So 0 and Spt p r r. One common way to picture the sequences in relation to their partial sums is by considering the sequences as paths j Sj 0 j pt p r with each 1 meaning go right one go up one and each t meaning go right one go down t. We study the number of paths with conditions on their partial sums on their number of crossings crossing THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF COMBINATORICS 17 2010 R160 1 numbers and crossing sums which we shall define later. Our interest in these sequences originated from our investigation of the acceptance urn model involving pt r 1 balls and p t balls. For t 1 see Chen et. al. 1 and Suen and Wagner 12 . These sequences are also related to lattice paths see
