CHARLOTTE, NC (AP/WBTV)- The Charlotte Bobcats have announced that Michael Jordan will make a major announcement Tuesday evening regarding his team.

The event, set for 6 p.m., will be held at the Bobcats practice facility at Time Warner Cable Arena.

Reports have swirled for weeks that the Bobcats are setting the stage to change their nickname to the Charlotte Hornets.

CBS Sports reported Friday that the Bobcats have already begun the process of changing the team's name.

The Bobcats have remained mum on the speculation.

NBA officials said earlier this year in a visit to the Queen City that a name change typically takes 18-months and several million dollars to rebrand all the teams merchandise and logo.

NBA deputy commissioner and COO Adam Silver previously said it would take "about 18 months" for the Bobcats to change their name. That means Charlotte could once again become the Hornets by the 2014-15 season.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV)- The smell of fresh fruits and vegetables greets Tracey Rosenberg and her children for dinner most days.

"They absolutely love it," says Tracey.

She's picky about what's on her family's plate. Her first choice? The farmer's market.

"They actually eat fruits and vegetables because we come here," added Tracey.

And around this time of year they are easier to come by.

"We are starting to get a lot of local things in," said Norman Simpson the owner of Kings Drive Market.

"We are getting some tomatoes, cucumbers and squash in now, greens and collards."

The growing popularity of farmers' markets is evident from the people massed around with baskets slung over their arms.

In Charlotte farmers markets are now in full swing offering produce from local growers and merchants.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV)- It's part of NC Statute 115C-105.27. It states school districts should have a goal to give every teacher an average of five hours a planning time each week. Charlotte-Mecklenburg School district (CMS) parent Susan Plaza claims that is not happening.

"We hear everything from we get 30 minutes a week," Plaza said. "If I'm lucky to I get 4.5."

Plaza sent out a survey to teachers and some teachers report getting only 1.5 hours a week to plan their lessons.

"It's created more work load," Plaza said. "With less time to do it in, so I imagine they are feeling rushed, stressed and overworked."

The problem started when CMS extended the day for elementary schools so the district could save money in its transportation department.  The district now uses the buses to make double routes.  Plaza and her group have been fighting the longer days since day it started around two years ago.
