Seth (Al White) and Bertha Holly (Cheryl Lynn Bruce) run a Pittsburgh boarding house where, as Bertha says of the itinerant residents, "they come and go." Living there for $2 a week as the play opens are Bynum Walker (Adolphus Ward), who carries around a satchel of herbs and potions, and Jeremy Furlow (Ed Blunt), a handsome 25-year-old who rightfully fancies himself a ladies man. Wilson keeps introducing characters without necessarily adding mystery or intrigue -- until the arrival of Herold Loomis (John Earl Jelks) and his young daughter, Zonia (played on alternate nights by Chera Hishaw and Breanna Ransburg).
Loomis is a brooding man (whose dark costume by Jennifer Myers Ecton makes that perhaps too obvious; the actor only has to recite his lines while the clothes do the rest), and he's on a mission. His wife, Martha (Natasha Charles), has been gone for more than a decade. Rutherford Selig (Larry Paulson), the decent white man in the lives of the Hollys and their boarders, is among other things a "finder," and Loomis pays him to locate Martha.
Director Marion McClinton's credits say he has directed every entry in Wilson's cycle, including last year's King Hedley II, for which he nabbed a Tony nomination. Maybe there's something to be said for stepping out of one's comfort zone, because the play unfolds without a lick of invention. In the various characters' monologues, for instance, McClinton has lighting designer Donald Holder dim the major lights and spot the monologist while the other cast members stand around. Neil Patel's set is nice but equally unremarkable, with a kitchen table too small to serve much purpose in a boarding house.
There are other glitches for which only Wilson can be faulted. Early in the play, for example, Bertha tells Bynum that a woman came by to see him but was told she'd need to come back later -- though, according to the text, Bynum was right outside the back door when the woman arrived. Later, Bertha tells Selig to settle down, even though he hasn't raised his ire or his voice one iota. It may be picayune to pinpoint these sorts of inconsistencies, yet they keep the play from becoming anything more than an average night at the theater.
While Act One has its musical moments, such as "At Long Last Love" and "The Tender Trap," the "Sinatra did this" and "Sinatra did that" script feels prerecorded and frozen, like an audio-tape tour of a Sinatra museum. From the opening of Act Two, though, a second wind seems to sweep the stage. A wonderful arrangement of "The Lady Is a Tramp" makes it clear that the show has much more to give. J. Kent Barnhart, Melinda MacDonald and Jim Korinke are looser and breezier than in the first half, delivering spirited versions of "New York, New York" (which has a surfeit of emotional resonance post-September 11), "Mack the Knife," and "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry."
Perhaps no one but Sinatra should sing "Summer Wind," but a sharply dressed MacDonald gives it a good kick anyway. She and Barnhart spar amiably in "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" and Barnhart alone gives that melancholy "One for My Baby" a smoky sheen. Steve Lenhert's bass plucking and Ken Remmert's drumming add a great deal of zest to Barnhart's always impressive piano playing.
MacDonald says early in the show that there will be "no turned stones" in this Sinatra story, thus his mob connections and treatment of women get no play. This is a tribute, after all, not an E! True Hollywood Story. But there are entertaining tidbits nonetheless: two tales alleging Sinatra's reputation as the best tipper in the business and one about his love of the color orange. As MacDonald adds at the close of the show, Frank is gone but, because his voice and repertoire are so timeless, we will always have him around.

International semiconductor sales in February fell 7.3 percent year-over-year and 1.3 percent from January, further illustrating the weak demand plaguing the air cargo industry.
Sales in the Americas region in February expanded 1.1 percent month-to-month, helping to offset the malaise in European and Asian markets, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association. European sales fell 1.9 percent year-over-year, while Asia-Pacific and Japanese sales both fell 1.8 percent in the same period.
Sales of the foundation technology hit $22.9 billion in February. Semiconductor sales are down 9.3 percent year-over-year in the three-month period ending in February. Although international freight volume rose 5.1 percent year-over-year in February, the 2012 outlook is still fragile, according to the International Air Transport Association.
"It's encouraging to see that the U.S. posted the third consecutive month of job gains, which points to momentum in the U.S. economic recovery. However, the global picture bears close watching, given the continued sluggish economies in Europe and in Asia," SIA President Brian Toohey said.
He said he is optimistic about semiconductor sales growth in 2012, because of the improved U.S. economy and brisk semiconductor sales in the Americas region. The strengthening U.S. economy, particularly American consumer demand for new gizmos, is helping Asia cargo traffic rebound, according to Bloomberg. Asian air freight traffic may jump as much as 8 percent this year, Boeing estimates.
Freight carried by Asian airlines in February rose 7.8 percent from the same period a year ago, but the year-over-year comparison was skewed by an earlier Chinese New Year.

FORT MYERS, FL-A terrifying encounter with a robber.
A Fort Myers pharmacy owner says he looked up from behind the counter to see a masked gunman in front of him, demanding drugs.
Jignesh Patel says, "I saw him entering the store and I knew something was not right because he was wearing a mask."
Withing minutes Jignesh Patel, the owner of Riverdale Pharmacy, says his worst fear was confirmed.
"I was so terrified."
That's because the robber, wearing a mask and camouflaged clothing, put a shotgun up on the counter.
Patel says, "Big gun. It was about this big, maybe two, three feet long."
He then demanded drugs from Patel.
"He said give me Oxycontin.You have 15 seconds."
Patel did as he was told, and says he was surprised the robber knew exactly what drawer the drug was kept in.
"He put some in his shirt pocket some in his pants pocket."
About one minute later, he left the store holding the shot gun- passing right by a young girl.
"I was hoping he would not shoot anything at me, or anybody else."
Surveillance shows the man then getting on a bike and pedaling off.
It also shows what appears to be twist ties around the robber's neck, something Patel thinks could have been used to tie him up.
"When the sheriff's office told me that, I was very scared."
Now he hopes the robber is caught before someone gets hurt.
"If he did once, there are chances he did it again."
Deputies say the suspect is a man, about 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8 and weighing around 170 pounds.
Deputies are asking anyone with information to give them a call.

Report: Apple, Samsung resume patent talks
Apple and Samsung are negotiating to end their disputes over patent infringement, The Korea Times reports. An official at the Fair Trade Commission said, "As far as I know, the companies recently resumed working-level discussions toward the signing of a potential deal. They are in the process of narrowing differences over royalty payments." Apple CEO Tim Cook and Samsung CEO Choi Gee-sung reportedly held talks last year, but couldn't reach an agreement, as Samsung wouldn't accept Apple's royalty demands. Samsung seeks a cross-licensing deal, which would allow the company to access certain Apple patents. But Apple is asking Samsung to pay more than $30 per device, which is "too much," according to a Samsung official. Last week, Apple renewed a motion seeking a U.S. sales ban on certain Samsung products.

Fourth-ranked Duke women suffer first loss of season | College basketball
The No. 4 Duke women became the last team in NCAA Division I basketball — men's or women's — to lose a game, falling to No. 3 Connecticut 79-49 Monday night.
STORRS, Conn. — And then there was none.
No. 4 Duke became the last team in NCAA Division I basketball — men's or women's — to lose a game, falling to the No. 3 Connecticut women 79-49 Monday night.
For 20 minutes the Blue Devils (16-1) stayed close to UConn (17-1), trailing by two points at halftime. Then the wheels came off.
Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie felt her team's record was somewhat fool's gold, as she noted the Blue Devils haven't been able to consistently put together a solid 40 minutes.
"It was a tale of two halves for us. It's consistent for us, how we've been playing all year. We played some great 20-minute ball, but have been nonexistent for 40 minutes," she said. "Give credit to Connecticut. They played well in the second half. There are some great lessons for us to learn from. It will allow us to become a better team."
UConn's Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis scored 21 points and Kelly Faris contributed 18 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. The Huskies didn't dazzle coach Geno Auriemma in the first half.
"Coach was pretty mad at halftime," Faris recalled. "The most he's been mad in awhile."
Auriemma admitted he gave a fiery halftime speech.
"Tonight the frustration came out of me in the locker room," Auriemma said.
No. 3 Syracuse men win
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — C.J. Fair tipped in the go-ahead basket with 19.4 seconds left and the third-ranked Syracuse men rallied past No. 21 Cincinnati 57-55.
Trailing by seven points with slightly more than five minutes left, Syracuse tied the score at 55 on Michael Carter-Williams' three-pointer with 1:20 left.
Fair's tip came after Jerami Grant drove the lane and missed. Cashmere Wright of Cincinnati (16-4 overall, 4-3 Big East Conference) missed a three-point try with 2.9 seconds left and the Orange (18-1, 6-0) had its 35th straight victory at home, the longest active streak in men's Division I.
Carter-Williams scored 16 points.
• The Duke men moved from third to first in the AP media and USA Today/ESPN coaches polls after Louisville and Indiana each lost last week. Michigan is second in the AP poll and the coaches have Kansas in second.
Gonzaga, which lost 64-63 at then-No. 13 Butler on Saturday, dropped from eighth to 10th in both polls.

Input processing revisited.
Current models of language pedagogy fail to provide with the abstract principles that a comprehensive theory of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) might require. All of these models acknowledge the important role of attention in any learning process, but they fall short of offering any linguistic model that could account for the psychological complexities involve in attention and perception. To exemplify this, the article puts into question (a) the internal validity of the principles stated in Van Patten's Input Processing Theory, and (b) the assumptions regarding language processing in Van Patten's language acquisition scheme. The article proposes an alternative scheme that redefines the set of cognitive processes involved in language acquisition and that incorporates the findings of Psychology and Pedagogy.
In spite of multiple research studies focusing on the ways in which learners process second-language input, it remains largely unknown how learners develop competence in that second language. VanPatten, a leading proponent of the input-processing approach to SLA, stated that Krashen (1982) provided "the strongest position on the role of comprehensible input" (VanPatten, 1995, p. 170). Even though critical evaluation of Krashen's model reveals that its premises are trivial at best, his work is still frequently cited in SLA research partly because criticism to the model "has served to underscore the need [...] to examine what learners do with and to input as part of the acquisition process" (VanPatten 1995:170). It is true that Krashen's model examined for the first time the interaction between learners and input as part of the acquisition process and its implications in teaching foreign languages, but it should be noted that the notion of comprehensible input is not new to general cognitive processes described in Psychology and Phenomenology.
Most research in SLA is informed by the presupposed existence of a language module that process information independently of other cognitive faculties of the mind. This paper investigates the psychological underpinnings of comprehensible input in SLA. Van Patten's theory of Input Processing will be examined in order to show that dealing with second language acquisition is far too complex a task to be reduced to a restrictive linguistic theory. Language is an organization of cognitive faculties that involve as much attention, conscious and unconscious, as memory. Language outcomes in adults differ from that in children, among other reasons because of their different metalinguistic knowledge. That by itself should constitute a counterargument against the idea of a cognitively independent language module. However, the fact that meaningful approaches have proven successful for adults as much as for children may be an indication that (a) the cognitive mechanisms of children and adults are the same and that (b) cognitive mechanisms in children are available to adults. This premise is not at all new to the field of SLA[I], but it takes a completely different direction when the approach shifts from generativist linguistics to lexical-functional linguistics. These cognitive mechanisms constitute what Lakoff refers to as conceptualizing capacity, that is, "People share a general conceptualizing capacity regardless of what difference they may have in conceptual systems" (Lakoff, in Albertazzi 2000, p. 77).
A theory of cognitive semantics, such as lexical-functional linguistics, links semantic structure to general cognitive processes described in Psychology. The construal operations, you may want to call it problem-solving strategies, that enter our conceptualizing capacity are not different from the gestalt schemes that enter the world of perception. Croft & Wood (2000) list these construal operations under four processes: Attention, Judgment, Perspective, and Constitution. They all offer accounts of how the mind extracts meaning creating a whole from a fragmented perception. In this paper, I will argue that Van Patten's Input Processing Theory articulates a general pedagogical principle but that it falls short of offering a coherent language-learning theory that incorporates the basic cognitive abilities we normally apply to the various realms of our experience.
Meaning and Cognition in Van Patten's Input Processing Theory
VanPatten cites evidence for a cognitive principle that serves as a foundation for communicative approaches: Attention capacity interacts with meaningful input. This is hardly a new established principle. In 1988, Andersen proposed a cognitive "Operating Principle" known as Formal Determinism.
When the form/meaning relationship is clearly and uniformly encoded in the input, the learner will discover it earlier than other form/meaning relationships and will incorporate it more consistently within his interlanguage system (Andersen, 1988, p. 16).
Finding out how form/meaning relationships may be encoded in the input is the basic tenet of Language Pedagogy. VanPatten (1995) proposes the Input Processing Theory, which he considers important for developing a theory of acquisition of a second language. In a first development of his theory, VanPatten (VanPatten 1995, p. 172) states in a set of hypotheses what the encoding of form/meaning relationships entails at the morphological level. It is noteworthy that these hypotheses do not take the role of conscious attention into account, even though VanPatten acknowledges that only conscious attention to input can be responsible for language acquisition: "You can't learn a foreign language [...] through subliminal perception" (Schmidt, 1990, in Van Patten 1995, p. 173 and 1998, p. 115). Input Processing states that learners process meaning over form and that conscious attention is subordinated to unconscious attention, but it does not offer explanations on how conscious attention extracts meaning and incorporates it into the speaker's linguistics system.
Input Processing Theory rests on (a) the presupposed validity of the separation of form and meaning and (b) the a-priori distinction between meaningful and non-meaningful morphology [2]. Both assumptions imply an understanding of syntax and semantics as separate realms of linguistic knowledge, which then guides Van Patten's entire Input Processing Theory. According to VanPatten (1995:173, and 1998: 115), form and meaning often compete for cognitive resources. In other words, the learner is "driven to look for the message in the input [...] before looking for how the message is encoded." This statement seems to obviate the fact that meaning is an integral part of the information represented in lexical entries. Words create their own syntactic environment. They do not exist in the mind of the speaker by themselves, but in relationship to other words. In the process of form/meaning mapping in language acquisition, any new concept is incorporated into a language developing system according to a given encoding of linguistic information. In the case of learners of a second language, this encoding may have two sources of lexical interpretation: Speakers either map new entries to meanings developed in the process of L2 acquisition, or to the existing meanings in their L1 system.
VanPatten maintains that, from a universal standpoint of language acquisition, some morphological markers are more meaningful than others are. He cites an overwhelming amount of evidence regarding the order in which some English morphemes are acquired. Actually, VanPatten (1984) seems to offer a sound explanation for the order of acquisition of -ing forms, past tense, and third person markers based on their relative communicative value. However, his conclusions provide evidence for a different claim: No marker can be compared to another without considering the conceptual mapping of the structure to which they are associated. From a universal standpoint, the relative communicative value of a form could only explain patterns of acquisition of such form in comparable communicative environments. Moreover, we cannot presume that these three forms per se are conceptually comparable to one another in any given language.
Further developments of Van Patten's principles of Input Processing Theory (VanPatten, 2003, p. 420) seek to offer new insights into the relationship between grammar and meaning--or between grammar and cognition-. In all, the final formulation of the theory is little more than a restatement of the original, and leaves how the mind encodes meaning unexplained. Let me summarize some of the conceptual problems that the latest installment of the Input Processing Theory presents. The theory implies a distinction between the lexical and the grammatical systems. The distinction between the two systems not only makes impossible to distinguish content words from lexical items--both terms used distinctively in the theory-, but it presents a logical problem. According to Input Processing, the learner processes lexical items before grammatical items only "when they encode the same semantic information". This implies that there must be instances in which form guides meaning. However, the learner can only know if lexical items and grammatical forms encode the same semantic relations when he/she is able to identify both, content and grammar. In other words, an utterance is meaningful only when both systems, the lexical and the grammatical, encode the same information.
The theory also states that learners tend to process lexical items in a particular order. That particular order does not refer to a linguistic principle, but to what it seems a developmental principle: the learner will process the first noun or pronoun as a subject when lexical semantics, event probabilities, or contextual constraints allow for this interpretation. The assumption is that, for the learner to determine the reading of the first noun or pronoun as subject, constraints and probabilities have to be encoded in the lexical system. So the fundamental question remains unanswered: How do learners encode the L2 lexical system? Until explanations in terms of more abstract principles are given [3], generalizations of the type stated in Van Patten's Principles of Input Processing could contribute little to our understanding of the organization of linguistics systems in SLA. Of the principles governing Input Processing, the Principle of Primacy of Meaning reinstates a pedagogical principle underlying communicative approaches. As a pedagogical principle, it is external to the field of linguistics. A coherent theory of SLA must consider the inherent and fundamental connection between meaning and lexical categories--in which the grammatical system is encoded- in broader cognitive terms. The section below addresses the role of cognitive faculties in language processes.
Language Acquisition Scheme
VanPatten's Language Acquisition scheme distinguishes three sets of cognitive processes: Processing, Accommodating/Restructuring, and Monitoring/Accessing; and three distinctive informational systems: the Input System, the Developing System, and the Output System. He also includes a vaguely defined interim, the Intake System. In such scheme, L2 acquisition learners move from the Input System to the Intake System by virtue of the set of cognitive faculties involved in Processing; then, from the Intake System to the Developing System by Accommodating/Restructuring; and finally, from the Developing System to the Output System by Monitoring/Accessing. VanPatten fails to explain how the set of processes under Processing is distinctive from those under Accommodating/Restructuring. In other words, he does not explain how the Intake System differs from the Developing System. If intake is understood as "that part of the input that the learner notices" (Schmidt, 1990, p 139), which is the part of the input that has become meaningful, then the distinction between intake and developing system becomes irrelevant in the acquisition scheme.
The set of processes under Accommodating borrows the term from Piaget (see Beilin & Pufall, 1992). Assimilation and accommodation, as understood in developmental psychology, are two complementary ways to process stimuli. Assimilation implies the mapping of new entries over existing patterns in the developing system: Learners attend to input and incorporate it into an already existing system. As data enter the developing system, the system readjusts itself in order to incorporate newer data. Accommodation is the adjustment made in the existing patterns in the system to incorporate these data. Van Patten calls Restructuring to this adjustments. For him, the mechanisms involve in Restructuring are the mechanisms responsible for the acquisition of syntax according to Chomsky's Universal Grammar (Van Patten, 1995:171). This presents another logical problem: there cannot be Monitoring if such a self-sufficient data processing language module were solely responsible for Restructuring.
Monitoring, as defined, by VanPatten (2003, p. 415) incorporates Swain's (1985) output hypothesis, in which output fosters acquisition by promoting learners interaction with input [4]. Thus, Monitoring Processes makes use of conscious channels of rule formation to increase the incidence of correct utterances. Using conscious channels implies that the function of language input system is affected by information in other systems. We may have to conclude that, as part of the conscious channels by which knowledge of any kind is attained, general cognitive principles such as memorization, induction, and deduction, among other, do play a role in language acquisition.
The role of instruction
All of the discussions above lead us to a revision of the role of instruction and of the theoretical underpinning of communicative approaches to teaching languages. Grammar-based methodologies, even if grammar instruction is limited to explain regularities in the target language, are disregarded because they assume that L2 learning mechanisms are not different from mechanisms in other domains of knowledge. However, and without advocating for any grammatical methodology, instruction is only possible if we give to L2 linguistic knowledge the same status as other kinds of knowledge.
The validity of any meaning-based approach to SLA cannot be based on the grounds that language is a system in its own right. By acknowledging this, we understand that SLA responds to a psychological complexity that extends beyond our current knowledge of any possible cognitively autonomous language acquisition device. Cognitive semantics proposes a paradigm that revives theories of descriptive psychology developed at the beginning of this century: Gestalt theory and experimentation (see Lakoft, 1977). Gestalt signifies a structured complex whose elements have value only in relation to the whole. Each element that enters our experience is determined by its relationship to other elements to which it is associated. Gestalt also signifies form, shape: A gestalt is a whole of relations that we can grasp only if we are able to unify everything in one intellectual glance. Intimately linked to the psychology of Gestalt, Graziano (1975) proposes a language construct known as Language Operational Gestalt (LOG), "a radically pragmatic and empirical way of experiencing that combines many of the contribution of Language Analysis [...] and Gestalt" which integrates isolated sectors of our experience. LOG is a theory of meaning: Only what can be experienced in the here and now has meaning or use. LOG is at the core of pedagogic proposals aimed to explore attention processes: input processing, input enhancement (Rutherford & Sharwood Smith, 1985; Sharwood Smith, 1993) and focus on form (Doughty, 2001; Doughty & Williams, 1998; Long, 1991; Long & Robinson, 1998). As Graziano says
The uses of a sound configuration are demonstrated by experiencing the same sound in connection with various situations to obtain different purposes. That sound is experienced as one configuration of many phenomena, a gestalt completed when the meaning is understood. (Graziano, 1975:1)
Only repeated experiences with comprehensible input can be responsible for language acquisition: Language generalizations require that learners have processed enough data in the context of meaningful communicative activity. Limitations in time and interaction in classroom instruction given, what seems to be at stake is how to reconcile input frequency with explicit methods of teaching. For Ellis the answer is straightforward: "language acquisition can be speeded by explicit instruction" (Ellis, 2002, p. 145). The effectiveness of one method over the other may be a futile argument until we know what is stored in the speaker's knowledge of the target language. This means that any implicit teaching, as well as any explicit teaching, assumes rules derived from a reference grammar of some kind with no certain knowledge of how a particular feature is represented in the mind of the learner. The fact that generalizations and categories about the target language may be implicitly taught does not take away from the fact that they have been formulated explicitly, at least to the extent to which it is necessary in order to structure the contents in the curriculum of any instructional setting.
How attention interacts with input is the point of departure for Van Patten's set of Input Processing principles, but none of these principles offers the basic tenets for the development of a theory of acquisition of a second language: essentially, they represent generalizations that lack explanatory value. Furthermore, the epistemology underlying the hypothesis, that is, the existence of a specific language domain for L2, undermines cognitive strategies that may enter the process of acquisition and that are external to any possible language module. If the language specific domain existed, then instruction would be completely irrelevant since what instruction offers is a shortcut to the process of language acquisition. It is without question that acquisition requires comprehensible input. However, how the learner moves from comprehension to production remains uncertain. As language educators, we should not discard any type of activity that involve the incorporation of non linguistic faculties as means of acquiring knowledge of a language, at least, "not until we are better informed by what we know about processes involved in acquisition" (VanPatten, 2003:419).

[1] Two are the traditional competing models of SLA:
a) The Universal Grammar (UG) based model: The same language learning strategies are at work in L1 and adult L2 acquisition and
b) The problem-solving model: Non-U cognitive mechanisms determine the differences between L1 and L2 grammars
[2] Morphological morphemes refer to the open class categories that constitute the grammatical system according to Cognitive Linguistics.
[3] In terms of propositional logic alone, some principles stated in Input Processing Theory are irrelevant. For instance, if redundancy is subordinated to meaning--Principle P1.d-, stating that the learner processes non-redundant meaningful forms before redundant meaningful ones--Principle Pl .c- is a false statement. When an item considered redundant enters the learner's attention more easily than a non-redundant one, it is reasonable to believe that the learner may perceive the item as non-redundant.
[4] Van Patten argues that for Swain output plays three roles in promoting acquisition: Noticing linguistic features in the input, hypothesis testing, and promoting conscious awareness of language and language use.

Lackey on bicep injury: 'Hopefully, it's not too serious'
TORONTO -- The second John Lackey grabbed his right arm on the mound, just after uncorking a pitch that was supposed to be a cut fastball away and instead almost hit Jose Reyes in the foot, the rest of the Red Sox held their collective breath.
"Oh, God,'' thought Clay Buchholz from the dugout as he watched his teammate, 18 months removed from Tommy John surgery and making his first regular season start since September of 2011.
"It stinks,'' said David Ross, shaking his head. "Everybody's worried for him. I'll say a prayer for him.''
When Lackey left the mound with a trainer and manager John Farrell a minute later, his right arm hanging limp, the worries weren't erased.
"Your heart kind of skips a beat for a second,'' recounted Jonny Gomes.
As it turns out, there's reason to believe that Lackey's injury is not as calamitous as it first appeared. After the Red Sox' 5-0 shutout at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays, the club called the injury a right biceps strain.
"He felt kind of a cramping sensation,'' said manager John Farrell. "Obviously, we took him out immediately, but once he was in the clubhouse and iced it down, that cramping went away. The strength test, at least in the training room, showed to be positive in terms of full strength. But we're going to get him back [to Boston] and get a full exam (Sunday).''
A pitch before the injury seemed to occur, Lackey was seen flexing the right arm, attempting to get loose.
"I saw the movement,'' said Farrell, "but at the time [Lackey] didn't feel it was anything to be alarmed by. He did acknowledge that he felt something there -- nothing compared to what he felt on the last pitch he threw. Obviously, when he grabbed it as he did (following the next pitch), it was a clear sign we had to get him out of there.''
Farrell stressed that at no time did Lackey experience any discomfort in his surgically repaired elbow.
"The elbow is fine,'' said Farrell. "This is in the belly of the biceps, so it's kind of an abnormal area to feel that grabbing sensation on one pitch. But I think the encouraging this is, as he came out of the game, the soreness and cramping feeling had subsided.
"Any time you see a pitcher on one pitch grab [something], it's obviously not a good sign. Hopefully, through the testing that he'll go through, we'll get more information. At least following the game, there's some positive coming out the symptoms as they've decreased.''
Lackey described the sensation "like a pretty good cramp. It was all in the biceps, wasn't the elbow, so . . . Pretty frustrating and a little scary when it happened, for sure. It's sore, but hopefully not too serious.''
Another positive sign was that Lackey felt no numbness in the hand, as he had with elbow troubles.
"It was pretty much right in the belly of the biceps,'' he said. "It was kind of like a hamstring kind of thing. I would liken it to that, I guess.''
In conversations with other pitchers who have undergone Tommy John surgery, Lackey has run into some who had similar biceps issues afterward.
"We'll see what happens [Sunday],'' he said. "Hopefully, it's not too serious . . . The tests they ran on me today looked pretty good. Hopefully we'll get a picture of it tomorrow and we can get after it and it's nothing too crazy.''
Lackey was asked what he thought as he trudged off the mound.
"A year-and-a-half of getting to this point and having to do it again,'' he said glumly.
The tough part, in the short-term, was that Lackey was throwing as well as he was before the injury.
In 4 1/3 innings, he had struck out eight without walking a batter and his fastball hit as high as 94 mph.
"I felt really good,'' said Lackey. "I made one mistake. I pounded the strike zone pretty well, had some strikeouts. I felt like my stuff was pretty good.''
"He looked sharp,'' said Farrell. "He had good action to his secondary stuff. The velocity was probably the best we've seen to date. He was free and easy. He threw all of his pitches for strikes. He got a cutter up in the zone to [J.P.] Arencibia (for a two-run homer in the fourth). But other than that, he pitched out of a jam a couple of times with men on base. Into the [last] inning, he was pitching (as well) as we could have anticipated or hoped.''
"He threw the ball well,'' remarked Ross. "Fastball, cutter was really good. He was moving the ball in and out. Early on, he was a little more amped up, then he settled in after that. He was really dominant.''

Democrats hope to 'flip' state Senate; surging GOP says it's wishful thinking
"New Hampshire Senate Democrats are poised to take the majority in 2014," Larsen said, pointing out that in 2012, Democrats fell short by less than 600 votes across two districts. Democrat Kathleen Kelley lost her race to Dave Boutin in the Hooksett area by 396 votes out of nearly 14,000 cast. In the Bedford area, Democrat Lee Nyquist lost to Andy Sanborn by 213 votes out of more than 15,000 cast.
"There will be a very strong District 16 candidate who is going to wage a write-in campaign," Larsen said. "I'm not at liberty to talk further on that at this time, but you will see some energy coming out of that race in the form of a write-in campaign."
"The Odell seat is a Democratic seat, and we believe we will win there," she said, referring to retiring Republican Sen. Bob Odell, who has represented a cluster of 14 towns from Grantham to Francestown.
With only one primary on the Democratic side (for Larsen's Concord-area district), and 11 for the Republicans, Larsen sees a definite advantage. "New Hampshire Senate Republicans have several Tea Party battles," she said. "Those will require candidates and the GOP caucus to spend resources they won't have against Democratic candidates."
"Even though the Democratic Caucus PAC out-raised the Republican PAC (as they always have through history), the burn rate between the two PACs is significantly different," he wrote in an email.
"Both parties will obviously continue to raise money," wrote Killion. "But the GOP PAC will have a considerably lower burn rate with more resources to spend on contacting voters when it matters most. Advantage in cash on hand and cash discipline to the Republicans."
Killion points out that Democratic candidates in New Hampshire and across the country benefited from the Obama campaign's impressive get-out-the-vote effort in 2012.
"The entire Democrat ballot was aided by the Obama campaign's historic get-out-the vote and voter identification infrastructure," he wrote. "It swung nine of nine swing states and swung the election to Obama. It was very impressive and very wide-sweeping. In the special elections since, there has been zero implications for its existence here in New Hampshire."
Republican Joe Kenney won the North Country Executive Council seat, even though he was significantly outspent by his Democratic opponent, Mike Cryans, who was endorsed by the family of longtime councilor Ray Burton.

Fights break out at Syrian opposition meeting
CAIRO (Reuters) - A meeting of Syria's splintered opposition in Cairo descended into scuffles and fistfights on Tuesday that dealt another blow to Western leaders seeking a unified front against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The meeting also failed to resolve many of the differences between the rival Syrian opposition groups, further complicating efforts to find a viable alternative to rule by Assad, whose forces have killed thousands of Syrian civilians and combatants.
"This is so sad. It will have a bad implications for all parties. It will make the Syrian opposition look bad and demoralise the protesters on the ground," opposition activist Gawad al-Khatib, 27, said.
A Syrian Kurdish group quit the meeting, provoking mayhem and cries of "scandal, scandal" from delegates. Women wept as men traded blows, and staff of the hotel used for the meeting hurriedly removed tables and chairs as the scuffles spread.
"We will not return to the conference and that is our final line. We are a people as we have language and religion and that is what defines a people," said Morshed Mashouk, a leading member of the Kurdish group which walked out.
"The Kurds withdrew because the conference rejected an item that says the Kurdish people must be recognised," said Abdel Aziz Othman of the National Kurdish Council. "This is unfair and we will no longer accept to be marginalised."
The outburst lasted only a few minutes, and some said it had been stage managed to get the Kurds on television.
When one Kurd screamed, "Nothing has changed, we need to be listened to" as he walked out of the conference room, in front of cameras, a young activist followed him shouting: "This is a faked withdrawal seeking to make the conference fail."
Sixteen months into an uprising against Assad, the failure to rally Syria's disparate religious and ethnic groups behind a united leadership will make it more difficult to secure international recognition.
An official from the meeting's host, the Arab League, who attended the closed meetings, said of the oppposition group: "Yhey are so different, chaotic and hate each other."
A final statement read by Syrian opposition leader Kamal Al-Labuany, said:
"All the attendees of the conference agreed that the political solution has to start by the fall of the regime represented in Bashar Al-Assad and the icons of his power and calls for an immediate halt of violence committed by the Syrian regime."
Reading from a one-page statement, he said the opposition groups agreed on the "importance of preserving civil peace and national unity".
But at times that spirit of "national unity" was hard to detect, in the Kurd walkout and in the sparring over how best to create a unified front against Assad.
Opposition leader Haitham al-Manah told Reuters that one of the points of disagreement was over authorities to be granted to a committee to act as a face of the opposition.
A draft document, put together by a 16-person preparatory committee, had called for setting up a follow-up committee to coordinate all the opposition parties and to execute the contents of documents agreed at the talks.
"The Syrian National Council (Syria's main opposition group)has rejected that this committee act as a leader, which shows its interest to remain the sole leader of the opposition," Manah said.
A senior leader of the SNC told Reuters on condition of anonymity that the council had rejected granting any leadership powers to such a committee and wanted it to act solely as a coordinator.
However, the divided opposition did discuss in broad terms what their nation should look like after Assad.
One of those principles was to have a new Syria governed as a "republican, democratic, civilian, pluralistic system".
This covenant also referred to social justice in the economy with redistributive taxation policies, while providing investment security and an economic system that would prevent monopolies.
A document on how to handle the transition from Assad's rule said his Baath party would be dissolved but everyone - provided they did not have "hands stained with blood" - would be allowed to help steer the country.
It also said a meeting should be held in Damascus to create a temporary legislative body and an interim government during the transition. It outlined actions to reform the army and to form a committee to investigate crimes against the Syrian people, such as massacres and political detentions.
Assad has held on far longer than other Arab leaders who faced popular uprisings, in part due to his willingness to use overwhelming force but also because of divisions among his population, the opposition and the international community.
Russia, Syria's longtime ally, opposes U.N. action proposed by Western powers. The United States and European powers have themselves shown no appetite for military intervention of the kind they used in Libya.
