CHAPEL HILL - The mayor and the biker stood shoulder to shoulder at Sunday's Carolina North traffic forum: the politician in a sportscoat, the cyclist in biker pants and shirtless as he cooled off from his ride down Homestead Road.
It's a scene that may get repeated in future years as town and gown figure out how to move lots of people -- in cars, buses and bikes -- to and from the planned campus north of Estes Drive and west of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The citizens group Neighborhoods for Responsible Growth held the forum to share ideas before this week's release of a draft traffic impact analysis, showing how many trips the project Carolina North may add to local roads. At press time, the town was planning to post the document on its Web site Tuesday and present it to the community at 7 p.m. Thursday at The Chapel Hill Library

The North Carolina football team took a win in its first game of 2008, thanks in large part to a stunning performance by senior Brandon Tate.
Tate finished with a school-record 397 all-purpose yards on only 11 touches.
UNC beat McNeese State 35-27 in a game delayed almost two hours for weather.
Despite climbing to an early 14-0 lead, the Tar Heels came back from the break without fire and fell to a third-quarter deficit, overcome in large part by Tate's explosiveness.
Tate finished 106 yards rushing and 93 yards receiving, as well as an 82-yard punt return for a touchdown.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona
4 Stars
Most of the buzz I heard surrounding "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" dealt with the prospect of seeing Scarlett Johansson and Penélope Cruz make out under the passionate red light of a dark room. That scene itself isn't worth all the fuss but the movie as a whole certainly is.
Granted, it's just another Woody Allen tragicomedy about the self-affirming power of love. The crucial difference is that this time the love story is quadrangular.

Stereolab
Chemical Chords
pop
4 Stars
Though George Harrison gets most of the street cred, it wouldn't be hard to argue that Paul McCartney is the underrated Beatle.
Though overshadowed by the martyrdom of John Lennon, McCartney had greater mass appeal, blending bright '60s melodies with grand, orchestral instrumentation into one of the most successful and influential sounds of the '70s.
On its new full-length, krautrocking Beatle-heads Stereolab mine the material of McCartney and his Wings with great success.
