Public Gets East County I-75 Diverging Diamond Intersection Preview
LAKEWOOD RANCH -- Thursday afternoon, industry reps, residents and county commissioners came to see FDOT's "diverging diamond interchange" showcased at the Holiday Inn in Lakewood Ranch. But the controversial fix-all design to curb the overwhelming traffic jams that paralyze I-75 and University Parkway every afternoon and are only expected to get much worse with the upcoming opening of a major mall, is still looking for funding.
The artist's rendition satellite overlays of how the intersection is to look (pictured) if both Sarasota and Manatee County Commissioners get their way, were displayed in two different meeting rooms Thursday. FDOT also set up a small theatre area (20 seats) for viewing a 10-minute loop-video telling the same story (see bottom of page).
However, wall-sized maps of how to fix this colossal problem didn't convince everyone. So FDOT representatives, county commissioners and other stakeholders were there to answer questions of concern from the hundred or so curious residents who showed up.
There is still a great deal of confusion that surrounds what so many officials have described as a simple solution to the congestion at the I-75/University Parkway FDOT project in Lakewood Ranch; and it all has to do with funding.
There have been so many figures bouncing around about what and who pays for each part that it can be dizzying to keep up. The proposed $60 million cost has already grown to $68 million on paper, and it is not clear if either of those amounts include the 3.5 mile arterial lane on I-75, between Fruitville Road north to University Parkway; or the replacement of the I-75 bridges over University Parkway; and the widening of the two I-75 bridges over Erie Creek.
The confusion comes from the top. I asked FDOT District One Secretary Billy Hattaway how that large of a project could be estimated to only cost $60 million, and if that cost was for the interchange and the I-75 work as well. Hattaway said, "They are two separate projects."
Hattaway introduced me to Kevin Ingle, the FDOT manager for the project. But Ingle told me that "the diverging diamond and the I-75 work are one project."
In the diverging diamond interchange, there will be a widening of University Parkway as well, for the distance of one mile, but the FDOT project stops there. That one mile of University Parkway is between Cooper Creek/Cattlemen Rd. intersection and Market Street/ Lake Osprey Drive intersection.
Robin Stublen, FDOT Communication Specialist for District 1 said, "What the county needs to concern itself with are the cost of these two intersections." Stublen also confirmed that both were one project.
Not only do critics feel that the estimated $68 million won't nearly be enough to suffice in completing the project, but many also worry that there will be tens of millions in costs to county residents for the projects that surround the FDOT project (Cooper and Market intersections, the lighting of University Parkway to the airport, etc.).
State Representative Greg Steube visited the BOCC last week, claiming that if the funds aren't appropriated this year for the Lakewood Ranch project, he will make it his number one priority at the next legislative session.
Here is a video of the I-75/ University Parkway project, and it will soon be available at, I75manatee.com. A comment sheet was handed out at Thursday's event for citizens to give feedback.

fan part help
hi folks, new forum user here
I have a macbook pro 2.6 ghz from early 2008, if I remember correctly
I think I need a new left fan, but I'm not sure how to identify it. There is not a serial on the bottom of the machine, as it is worn off
thanks for your help
G'day and welcome to the forums.
The 2.6GHz introduced in February 2008 is model No. A1260, a MBP 4.1.
15" or 17" ?
if 15" it is a MacBook Pro 4,1 model A1260
cool, thanks a a lot--it is a 15" and the 4,1 you mention sounds familiar... :)

Stalwart Down'ard has double honour
Posted: February 18, 2013|
A STALWART Down'ard joined the ranks of the honoured few to not only have goaled a Shrovetide ball, but also to turn one up.
John Tomkinson, who scored at the hewnth plinth at Clifton in 1971, spoke of the honour he felt at being invited to turn up the Shrove Tuesday ball as he address the first of the game's Shrovetide Luncheons.
He said: "A few days before Christmas I received a telephone call informing me it was the wish of the committee that I turn up the ball.
"I was honoured and delighted to accept.
"It dawned on me later that the Tuesday is usually when a celebrity or personality turns up the ball. Clearly I'm neither of those."
Mr Tomkinson went on to speak of his wife, Sandra and children Andrew, Nick and Roberta, describing how he had served an apprenticeship as a builder before becoming self-employed in 1965.
Mr Tomkinson and his wife worked together to build up the business which became a true family concern when their son Andrew joined the company.
Mr Tomkinson said: "We constructed Ashbourne Golf and Ashbourne Bowls clubhouses as well as the swimming pool and sports complex at Blore Hall.
"Our family means everything to Sandra and me. We are very proud of them.
"Today we are all here because of the game of Shrovetide.
"My early interest was from my school days when I was conceited enough to think I could join in.
"Most of my friends were Down'ards so I became a Down'ard. Another good reason for being a Down'ard was because no one seemed to know where Sturston was."
Mr Tomkinson recounted the night he scored a goal in 1971 before being led from the leisure centre to join the small group of men who have had the dual honour or both goaling and turning-up a ball.
Mr Tomkinson added: "Most Ashburnians would agree with me; being asked to turn up the ball is the biggest honour the town can bestow."
Chairman of the Ashbourne Royal Shrovetide Committee, Brell Ewart, presented Mr Tomkinson with an engraved crystal goblet which is given each year to the turners-up by licensees at The Wheel and this year's Ashbourne Mayor and Mayoress, Steve and Sue Bull.
A new book on the history of Shrovetide by Lindsey Porter was also presented to Mr Tomkinson along with specially designed cufflinks given by town centre jeweller C W Sellors.

Hello all,
We lost our son Noah at birth, at 38 weeks. He was born and died May 10, 2013.
Noah is our fourth baby. I have a history of pre eclampsia and had all of the warning signs. With Noah I had severe pre eclampsia and left undiagnosed and therefor untreated, I had a full placental abruption.
I almost died as well, but thankfully another Angel was there that day. The doctor who saved my life.
We are determined to make a difference from our tragedy. Our situation was avoidable and we would like to prevent this from happening to other people. Specifically educating Providers.
I'm not exactly sure how to do all of that yet, but in time I'm sure I will find the right avenues for awareness.

Blog — What's New
Hello Penguins,
Our players ask great questions, and lots of them! We tracked down one of our writers and got the down low on some of the most commonly asked questions from the past month in CP.
Q. For the Halloween Party, will Gary also visit, because he usually does for this party
A. This Halloween, Gary is taking it easy and spending time in his lab. He'll probably watch Night of the Living Sled a couple of times, but otherwise he'll be busy with science! Who knows what he'll come up with this time.
Q. Will any of the old quests/ Haunted mansion/ Ghostmatron return?
A. No, we're going to have new Halloween areas to explore and a big focus on penguins' own haunted igloos. Plus, the mysterious Spectral Sweets is providing the candy, and they have some very "unique" flavors.
Q. Any news regarding the EPF?
A. The EPF is always busy keeping CP safe. Their number one priority right now is making sure Herbert hasn't snuck back onto the island somehow.
Q. Who is Garianna and what was the secret ingredient?
A. Garianna is one of Gary's ancestors. The illustrious inventor comes from a long line of clever penguins. Gariwald and Garugg the Ugg Ugg are also a part of that family tree. And for those that missed it at the end of the Medieval Party, Garianna's secret ingredient was a golden Puffle O. Why she had such a strange food is still a mystery PH and Gary are very interested in.
Whaddya think?
Remember, you can always contact us with any questions you might have.
-Club Penguin Team
Interesting response to the last question! Garianna sounds like a very smart penguin! :)
You have to be super smart to know all those potions!
-Club Penguin Team

Have you seen the party yet? It's so epic and there are some totally terror-ific things to check out!! XD
- The Club Penguin Scream...I mean, Team
The party is kind-of awesome I'd like it more if you brought back the scavenger hunts for Halloween Party and The Earth Day party, you been doing transformations only, wish is cool though. I also wish you'd brought back the old parties, I didn't like any of the take over parties so please put the older parties back, and the FAIR DON'T FORGET IT!
Are you in the Club Penguin team?
Reguards Twilightprdo
My question would be who is visiting the Halloween Party? Now I know it is Rookie!
Have you had a chance to see Rookie? You can ask the Club Penguin Team for some specific visit times if you write in :)
-Club Penguin Team
I am so disappointed about Gariwald's mansion not coming back! You can have all those new things as well as some old favorites, right? Oh well I guess :(
Oh yeah kate i really want gariwalds mansion and turn to a ghost i am so with you
Kate i agree more then anybody ok. Thumbs up for Kate yay...lol
Perfect,now I know who was Garianna because when I looked at the potion book she looked just like Gary.
What is up with club herbert?
I don't know, but apparently we haven't seen the last of him!
-Club Penguin Team
not sure they mite make it into a game or it mite give us info about him and where he is going
First, HI THINKNOODLES! Second, there's a link on Herbert's name and its so creepy. Club Herbert?? Weird.
That pesky polar bear just doesn't know when to give up. What do you think he's planning next?
- Club Penguin Team
There's a hint in the Halloween Party 2013 trailer. Can anyone spot where it is?
I think Herbert's planning operation puffle.

Waddle on
Thanks for answering these questions! I kind of miss the Haunted House... it was kind of a tradition. I'm also not too keen on having ALL of these new things. I mean, I LOVE when Club Penguin does new things, but not doing a tradition isn't exactly up my alley. Also, I'm disappointed about not having the igloo contest. I got my igloo ready right when the catalog came out! I wish there was a warning about that. But I DO like the decorations and being able to Trick or Treat at igloos! Thanks!!!!
Halloween is awesome ilove trick or treating
I remember clicking on the member ship thing on the home screen.

Recipe by Judy Smith
"There are a lot of shortbread recipes out there, but these are special. Vel is my mom, and these are the best! At first it will seem that this dough will not go together, but after a lot of kneading, the butter will hold this dough together. You will get the greatest English shortbread that you have ever made."

2 cups
1 cup
brown sugar
5 cups
sifted all-purpose flour
Excellent. Some advice for those having trouble, sift your flour BEFORE you measure it. Sifted flour is much bigger in volume. If you don't sift you are adding too much flour overall, resulting in too-dry dough. Also, use salted butter, or there's no taste, and let the butter be room-temp soft.
These are classic cookies! Yum!!
I have tried this and, after creaming butter and sugar, I get such a 'melty' batter that I've begun to add powdered sugar to try to firm it up so that it can be rolled out---or even pressed into a pan. What have I done wrong?
33 Ratings
AWSOME!!! I found this recipe mixed together with out any trouble at all . They are my husbands and kids new favorite . I liked to put a little peanutbutter on top for a quick afternoon snack. They store well. and they don't melt and crumble till AFTER they get to your mouth, then yummm !
I baked these for the holidays and they were a big hit. My kids and I kneaded some mini chocolate chips into the dough and they were awesome!
These were such a hit at Christmas!! I frosted them w/ a simple powdered sugar frosting, & they just flew off the plate. The brown sugar gives them a wonderful flavor w/ a hint of nuttiness. ONLY downside was that these were very hard to handle-- it was hard to roll out the dough & cut the cookies, & they were extremely fragile hot from the oven. I will definitely be making these next year!!
the best!!!!!!
Lots of kneading but well worth it! I dipped half of the cookie in chocolate and it was oh so good!!
For a roll out dough its not at all good we worked all morning and couldn't get it to stop crumbling. My 9 year brother was VERY frustrated... we ended up making them into thumb print cookies (not easy either!) and filled them with different jams. They ARE delicious but not at all easy when you have a LOT of holiday baking like I do.

The DNA section of HPD's crime lab was shut down in 2002, after an audit showed the lab producing questionable results under shoddy work conditions. The department lost accreditation and has now been overhauled with new personnel, a renovated work environment and new management. HPD Crime Lab Assistant Director Irma Rios says it took longer than she had hoped to get the lab running again, partly because it was difficult to find qualified employees.
"It was a combination of the salary was an issue, the other thing I asked individuals 'why would you want to come and work at the Houston Police Department, we've been under fire for so long' and there were some people that were reluctant because of the intense scrutiny. But now, things have changed, the accreditation is a big plus. People have questions whether the lab was going to survive in the end or was going to be closed."
HPD now requires all DNA examiners to have at least a bachelor's degree in Biology or a related field. They also must go through six months of training before taking on cases. Rios says the 12 DNA examiners are handling about 10-15 cases per week and will slowly increase the number.
"The examiners are very dedicated, they've been working very hard. Several of them have been hired in 2004-2005 and they've gone through -- we've spent about $80,000 in training alone for DNA so it just gives you an idea how much work we've put in."
Right now the focus is on producing verifiable results. Rios admits the lab lost credibility and still has a lot of challenges to regain that. She says that's why they're starting off slowly and keeping the workload small.
"Our strategy, I think it's working right now with the accreditation and from what we hear going and giving talks to the public, the accreditation is a big plus for us and just doing the work right is very important. And it will take time, it's just going to take some time."
The HPD DNA Lab is fully accredited, but for only one year. HPD will have to undergo another audit next year to renew their full-term certification. Laurie Johnson Houston Public Radio News.

Another 'America's Got Talent' heartbreak
- A West Springfield dancer ripping off his face, zombie style. (video still)
It has been a tough season for local contestants on NBC's competitive variety show America's Got Talent. Falls Church amateur dancer Sam B was eliminated last month, and last night the West Springfield High School dance team got the boot.
With its previous performances, the team charmed judges Piers Morgan, Howie Mandel, and Sharon Osbourne with precise choreographed moves and costumes straight out of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. But the judges found the team's Tuesday night performance staid.
But, like American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, and pretty much every other televised talent show, the judges give opinions on-air, but call-in voters ultimately decide whether acts move on in the competition or go home.
In this case, America agreed with the judges: Last night the voting public chose to advance Silhouettes, a dance troupe that executes cool moves behind a big old curtain, to the final four, and send West Springfield back to Virginia.
Still, despite losing a final shot at a million dollars cash prize and the chance to headline a show in Vegas (how would that work if the winners are kids?) the team told show host Nick Canon that appearing on the AGT had been "amazing," and that the members were very grateful for the experience. Very classy, West Springfield.

The Second Coming of Petraeus
Ivan Eland: With the justified firing of Gen. Stanley McChrystal and his replacement with Iraq water-walker David Petraeus, it's as if people are hoping for a second coming of Jesus in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the replacement may be similar to the second coming of the water-walking Joe Gibbs as coach of the Washington Redskins.
Fire McChrystal and Get Out of Afghanistan
McChrystal, much like Gen. Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War, has publicly spoken out about decisions that are the exclusive purview of the elected civilian leadership. At great cost to his popularity, President Harry Truman cast a great blow for the critical republican principle of civilian control over the military by firing the insubordinate MacArthur. President Obama could do the same with far less cost; McChrystal just took his job and is not a popular war hero, as was MacArthur.

I went to Mangia with an open mind and an empty belly ready to try the best of 2009 calamari. To my surprise, the calamari was hot, fresh, and filled with a light spice. But there was one element that was not given enough credit in the article that I loved, the tomato sauce served with the calamari. The sauce was so good that I ordered a blt pizza and used it as a dipping sauce. For anyone who loves red sauces as much as I do, I would definitely recommend ordering a small side of it to dip the night away.

So, like, we're usually too busy eating the calamari at Mangia Italiano to talk about them and, let's be honest, what higher compliment could we pay? There's no secret. Just a simple — and simply delicious — dish, executed well: tender squid; batter a crisp, golden brown; a spicy tomato sauce. You know why else we don't talk about Mangia's calamari? Because someone else might eat the rest of 'em while we're gabbing. Hey! Dibs on the last one! Mmrfhmmmrfh.

|Lesson 4: Acquiring Historical Records and Establishing Legal Control of Them
|Some Things to Remember About Acquiring Historical Records
Some Things to Remember About Acquiring Historical Records
Depending on your program, you may use other forms for transferring records. An historical records program that is part of a government may need to use specific forms to document transfers. These could include a certification of records disposal or a records retention schedule. A program that serves as the archives for an organization may use an internal transfer form to move collections to the archives.
All of these forms need to be modified to meet your organization's unique needs. You will also need to establish who can sign these kinds of legal documents on behalf of your organization. Remember to have your legal counsel review your forms.
Once these agreements are completed, they become vital business records that you should maintain as a permanent part of your archives. They are legally binding documents that provide protection from litigation. If ownership of records ever needs to be traced, these forms offer evidence of the previous ownership of the records.

By John D. BanusiewiczAmerican Forces Press Service
DHAKA, Bangladesh, June 5, 2004 Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld met here today with leaders of one of the world's most active countries in providing peacekeeping forces.
The visit marked the first to this South Asia nation by a U.S. defense secretary. Rumsfeld met with Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, who also serves as defense minister, and Foreign Minister Morshed Khan.
A U.S. defense official traveling with the secretary told reporters Bangladesh has no troops in Afghanistan or Iraq, but was part of the coalition during the 1991 Gulf War. It has provided peacekeeping forces to numerous trouble spots around the world, has participated in many humanitarian operations, and for years has operated a successful de-mining mission in Kuwait, the official said.
In a joint news conference with U.S. Ambassador Harry Keels Thomas Jr., Khan said the matter of whether Bangladesh would provide forces in Afghanistan or Iraq -- either as part of the current military coalitions or under a United Nations mandate did not come up in today's meetings.
Rumsfeld told reporters that while the subjects of Iraq, Afghanistan and the global war on terror did enter into discussions, the question of whether to provide forces is one each nation must decide on its own, doing whatever it feels comfortable doing.
He praised Bangladesh's record in peacekeeping. "I have a lot of respect for the peacekeeping role that this country has played in a lot of places, including Sierra Leone, Haiti and other countries," he said.
Khan said he and Rumsfeld had a "free, frank and candid discussion" on a variety of issues.
Bangladesh is one of the world's most densely populated countries, with more than 130 million people living in an area about the size of Wisconsin. It is a moderate Muslim nation with a secular approach to government, the defense official said, which may potentially serve as a model for other nations.
The country participates in about 15 military-to-military events with the United States each year, and sends 30 to 40 military officers each year to U.S. military schools, the official said.

There were a lot of positives in the match, namely the continued excellent performance of young guns like Lars Eller and David Desharnais.
P.K. Subban too seems to be playing better, simpler hockey and is a more effective player as a result.
Last night's loss was a game the Habs could have and probably should have won. But short-handed and power play goals by the Canes in the third, we're all the Canes would need to collect the two points.
Montreal is now stalled at seven points back of the eighth overall Leafs. Worse yet, the Canes are now only two points behind the Habs in the standings.
At the end of the day, you can't win 'em all. The problem is that to make the playoffs, Montreal needs to.
Game Notes
Crash-bang - You've got to love the way the Habs set a physical tone early in the game. In the first five minutes of play, Rene Bourque, Eric Cole, P.K. Subban and Alexei Emelin all threw thunderous body checks.
Emelin, in particular, got under the Canes' skin early with a low-bridge hit on Anthony Stewart.
But more than just the physicality, the Habs came out of the gates like race horses. Skating hard, driving to the net and showing the same determination that had won them their last four games.
Unfortunately, an early goal by the Canes took all the air out of their balloon and led to their defeat.
Why? - Jaroslav Spacek, who was playing his first game at the Bell Centre against his former team, was booed every time he touched the puck.
I don't get it.
Was it because he spewed his guts about the farcical situation that existed in Montreal when he was traded? Was it because he used to play for the Habs and now doesn't?
I get fans booing, say, Zdeno Chara who after almost murdering Max Pacioretty remains public enemy No. 1. But Spacek?
Say what you will about the aging veteran, but he gave the Habs some good years of service and was a good soldier. And he should be respected as such.
What a turn around! - If Lars Eller's performance under Randy Cunneyworth has been impressive, an almost equally impressive turn around has been from Mathieu Darche.
This is a guy who was one of, it not the, top unsung heroes for the Habs last season. This year? He's been largely invisible, has looked slow and, overall, like he doesn't belong in the league anymore.
That was until about five games ago. All of a sudden, Darche looks like the player he was last season, giving every ounce of his being on every shift and being rewarded for his hard work.
Darche finished the game with one assist, two shots on goal and 17:41 of icetime. That's fifth overall after Eric Cole, David Desharnais, Max Pacioretty and Tomas Plekanec.
Not bad for a fourth line plugger.
Attitude - I think one of the biggest changes that Cunneyworth has brought to the Canadiens is a positive attitude. Moreover, this team doesn't quit like they used to.
The first five minute aside, Montreal was terrible against the Canes through the first half of the game. Giveaways, missed passes, poor defensive zone coverage. They actually looked a lot like the Leafs did on Saturday night.
To be honest, if it wasn't for Carey Price, the Canes would probably have had a three or four goal lead early.
That aside, the Habs didn't throw in the towel, roaring back to score three second period goals in a six minute span to take the lead. This ability to come back and put the pedal to the metal, was entirely absent over the first 40 or so games of the season.
I think it's no real surprise too, considering the type of NHL player Cunneyworth himself was. For those who don't know, he wasn't the most skilled but was always the hardest working.
He never took a shift off and never quit. Ever. Despite the loss, it seems like his work ethic has finally rubbed off on his players.
Stat of the night - 21. That is the number of times this season the Habs have held the lead only to lose the game.
Question of the night - Will Ryan White slot into the lineup tomorrow night against the Boston Bruins? You'd have to think that yes, he will. But what about Ian Schultz?
Word is that he was called up as a precautionary measure because of injuries and likely won't play. But is there a better opponent for his than the rough and tumble Bruins?
UPDATE - Ian Schultz has been sent back down to Hamilton.
Up next - The Habs travel to Boston where they take on the division leading Bruins on Wednesday in Boston.
To say that Boston is a dominant team would be the understatement of the year. They are currently a league-leading plus-64 for their goals-for/against differential. They also sit in second overall in the East and fourth league-wide.
Montreal will certainly have their work cut out for them trying to prevent this loss from turning into a two-game skid.

Ex-Kalibo mayors file COCs
KALIBO, Aklan – With no funfare, former Kalibo mayor Allen Salas Quimpo formally filed his certificate of candidacy (COC) before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in the capital town of Kalibo.
Election Officer Atty. Jufrey Derequito said Quimpo filed his COC along with former Kalibo mayor Raymar Acevedo Rebaldo on Monday morning for next year's midterm elections.
Comelec's deadline is on Friday at 5 p.m. according to Atty. Derequito.
The two ex-mayors who were wearing yellow t-shirts filed their certificates of candidacy at around 9:30 a.m.
Quimpo, a Tibyog Akean stalwart, is expected to face off with incumbent Kalibo mayor William Sucgang Lachica. He tapped Sangguniang Panlalawigan member Rebaldo as his vice mayoral bet.
Quimpo was the Aklan congressman from 1992 to 2001 before he was appointed as executive director of Aklan Rivers Development Council.
Rebaldo will be pitted against Madeline Ang Regalado, who is seeking her second term in the vice mayoral post of Kalibo. Rebaldo first served as Kalibo mayor from 2001 to 2010. He then run for Aklan provincial board after serving Kalibo for three consecutive terms.
In a bid to reclaim their old posts in Kalibo, Tibyog Akean leaders will field a complete slate for councilors.
Among their councilors bet under Quimpo-Rebaldo ticket included in the short list are Roselita Sauza, Juliet Melgarejo, former New Buswang barangay captain Darius Demogina, former Sangguniang Bayan members Mark Quimpo, Gregorio Malapad, Estrella Briones and Buencamino Villanueva and Poblacion kagawad Guadillo Morales.
The councilorables of Lachica-Regalado are re-electionists Ariel Fernandez, Arnaldo Tejada, Mark Mitchell Sy, George Quimpo, Peter Jane Lao and Rodillo Policarpio and former SB member Augusto Tolentino, who is also making a comeback as Kalibo councilor.
Lachica's camp has yet to name another candidate to complete the final eight slots.

Ex-Southern guard Collins finding his way at N.C. Wesleyan
There was the strangest dynamic going on the other night inside the gym at Carrboro High School.
We'll get to that after I tell you about former Southern High School point guard Evan Collins earning the starting ball-handling job at N.C. Wesleyan College, in Rocky Mount.
Collins last season as a Southern senior was one of the best points guards in the PAC-6, averaging around 18 points per game.
Yet scholarship offers didn't come pouring in for Collins, so he was planning to try to walk on with the Charlotte 49ers.
Over the summer, though, Collins decided N.C. Wesleyan was where he needed to be.
N.C. Wesleyan coach John Thompson said Collins (5-10, 180) has been a good fit.
"Evan has done well for us thus far," Thompson said. "He was one of our key recruits, and we are very happy with his progress. He has already played an important role for us, and he has tremendous room for growth."
Collins didn't get the full ride he had in mind, since N.C. Wesleyan is a Division-III school that does not give scholarships in athletics.
But the freshman from Durham is still in the game.
Carrboro basketball player Marlin Johnson got the last laugh Friday night when his Jaguars hung tough for a 75-70 win over Northwood High School, coached by 1993 Final Four Most Outstanding Player Donald Williams, the North Carolina guard who got his groove on when the Tar Heels won the national championship that year.
"It was the best feeling ever, especially beating him," Johnson said, referring to Williams, his Amateur Athletic Union basketball coach. "Now I can talk junk to him."
With less than a minute left in the game, Northwood went into foul mode looking to create opportunities to steal one on the road.
Johnson, a wide receiver on Carrboro's football team that came up short in the 2-AA state title game earlier this month, was the recipient of one of those hacks, right there by Northwood's bench.
Williams and Johnson got nose to nose and grinned at each other.
Johnson said Williams wanted the Chargers to foul him, believing he'd choke at the charity stripe.
Sure enough, Johnson missed the front end of a one-and-one.
"I just let him know he's got that football in him," Williams said. "He's still rusty from football."
"I don't have (any) football rust," Johnson said. "He's just always talking junk."
Johnson is one of several Carrboro basketball players who were part of the Jaguars' run at what would have been the school's first state championship in football.
Carrboro basketball coach John Alcox said Trai Sharp, James Scott, Zay Dunn, Malik Carrington, Alex McVeigh and Gerald Atwater joined his squad after the football season.
Alcox said he felt no extra sense of gratification from beating Williams just because the guy learned some of the finer points of basketball from the great Dean Smith.
"It's just a basketball game," Alcox said.
Williams was the AAU coach for several Carrboro basketball players, who mobbed him after the game to talk a little smack.
Oh, that rather weird sighting I mentioned:
Well, even though Northwood, in Pittsboro, is coached by a UNC guy, the Chargers had a traveling student section that showed up in Carrboro's gym cheering like Duke's Cameron Crazies.
