A major disturbance outside of O'Malley's Bar in Weston landed one man in intensive care with a stab wound and left another man facing charges of felony assault and felony armed criminal action. Authorities say an uninvited guest entered a private banquet room where a wedding reception was being held inside O'Malley's Bar at 500 Welt Street on Sunday night. For more on story.

A school district crossed the line.
The Missouri Ethics Commission has found fault with the Park Hill School District in regard to the campaign surrounding the district's proposed tax levy increase last spring.
According to the school district, the ethics commission has determined that Park Hill crossed the line from informational into advocacy during the campaign of a proposed 32-cent tax levy increase.
As a result, the commission has issued a monetary fine to Park Hill and a written agreement between the school district and the ethics commission is being formulated.
That written agreement may or may not address future behavior and could reveal whether a portion of the fine issued to Park Hill has been "stayed," meaning the district could face additional financial penalty if future complaints are deemed valid.
The fine was issued to Superintendent Dr. Scott Springston. School officials... For more on story.
The filing deadline to enter the race for the spring municipal election will come to a close Tuesday, Jan. 20.
Perhaps surprisingly, many candidates to this point have not drawn opposition. The general election will be held Tuesday, April 7.
In Northmoor, there are four available alderman positions and one mayoral position, each for two-year terms. Cheryl Morgan, city clerk, said no one has filed to serve in either capacity and only one incumbent has expressed interest in actually seeking re-election. For more on story.
A court hearing has been set involving a former employee at Hull's Lumber Do-It-Center, who allegedly gained $162,000 through fraud and theft while he was employed at the company in Weston.
Most employers entrust their employees with their products, services, and job-related responsibility. Employees who have access to finances, patents, or other highly sensitive information,
assume even more trust. Unfortunately, a company's reliance can be threatened.
According to court documents, George Hull, owner of Hull's Lumber Do-It-Center, began experiencing a cash-flow problem around the last business quarter of 2013. Upon his investigation, evidence began to reveal that an employee in the financial department was allegedly stealing large amounts of money over the course of approximately one year.

A 1.5% pay raise for all county workers.
That is what is included in the 2015 Platte County budget proposed by county commissioners. The commission's proposed budget was released Friday morning.
The 1.5% raise, politically termed a "cost of living allowance" by the county, is less than what had been proposed by Kevin Robinson, county auditor, in the budget that he proposed for the county commission to consider. Robinson had recommended a 3% raise. County commissioners have final say on all budget matters.
In addition to the 1.5% across the board raise, county commissioners also propose allocating an additional $87,000 to the sheriff's department to be used for pay increases for commissioned law enforcement officers. For more on story.

Researchers who studied the approval times of drug applications since the advent of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) of 1992, conclude it is the amount of funding FDA receives for staff research rather than the source of the funds that makes the difference in how quickly the agency reviews new drug applications. A study by researchers determined that NDA review times shortened by 3.3 months for every 100 additional FDA staffers and concluded the amount of funding seems to have a more direct influence on review times than the fact the funds come from drugmakers.

Beautiful, everyday necklace
Very happy with my purchase - this is one of the more classically simple and chic hamsa designs I've seen, and the little diamond in the centre gives it a special touch. The chain is a good length for me (there are two clasp rings so you can adjust the length), and the pendant is so lightweight you'll hardly notice you have anything on. Beautiful and delicate, great for everyday wear and layering.

An insult to infrastructure and the onset of architectural correctness
I sometimes think that infrastructure must have been a 19th century idea, because at the turn of the 21st century it clearly isn't working. Long-term, long-life construction projects under the control of cash-strapped governments whose policies change every week are a disaster - the present transport crisis is a good example. What we really need today is not more cycle paths (hurry over to China if you want to see a vanishing nightmare on two wheels) but urban motorways.Can we get them? ...

The dough wizards at Papa John's hand toss circular masterpieces with original and thin crusts made from high-protein flour to support warm bouquets of toppings. Hand-cut produce crowns all of Papa John's pizzas, mingling with the sun-soaked sweetness of sauce made from fresh, California-grown tomatoes. By adhering to its brand promise of "better ingredients, better pizza," Papa John's grew from a back-tavern pizzeria into more than 3,500 restaurants within three decades' time, or the amount of time it takes to grow a single pizzeria from a small seed.

Though he's catered for Oprah and won Steven Tyler over with his meatballs, Lou Marzelli can still take the time to fill a family table. Dishes of lasagna, chicken parmesan, and penne in housemade marinara come to fruition out of recipes handed down through the Marzellis' Italian-native family every day in their New York–style deli. A gleaming deli case brims with Boar's Head meats and cheeses ready to be sliced and stuffed into hearty wedge sandwiches. whereas pizzas proudly hold toppings such as genoa salami, fresh basil, or the crumbled remains of lesser pies. Breakfast selections are served all day alongside locally roasted espresso drinks, and 36 flavors of housemade gelato and sorbetto—such as stracciatella, strawberry, and tiramisu—put a sweet finish on Italian helpings.

Some quotes I like: "YOUR OTHER HALF IS WITHIN
These days, so many people are searching for a partner, a soul mate, their 'other half'. They feel incomplete, 'single', without that 'special someone' in their life.
But you are not half of a whole, friend. That is the lie. You have never been half of a whole. You are whole; that is your true nature.
If you are searching for a partner, or staying in a relationship, because you feel 'half' of a whole, incomplete when alone, unhappy with your own solitude, fearful of the void, you will be bringing a partner into your field of unhappiness, and anxiety will rumble underneath the relationship.
Find your happiness within. Make happiness the field in which you live and have your being. Discover the joy of your aloneness. As long as you run away from your aloneness, you will always be lonely, however crowded your life is, because you will be running away from yourself, and that is the greatest pain of all.
Find joy within. Be the one you have always sought. Then, when and if you are ready, allow another dear one into that field. Let them hang out, play, stay if they stay, and leave if they leave. Take delight in their freedom. Connect deeply. Notice when you are happy, and notice when you are unhappy, but do not blame them or credit them for either.
Help them learn to love their own aloneness too.
Maybe you will call them your friend, your partner, your lover. Maybe you will marry, maybe you will live together, maybe you will start a family, maybe you will never see each other again. In the joy of deep connection, the labels will not matter so much, and the future will take care of itself.
And you will have found your other half within yourself. And the fear of loneliness will disappear into sunsets. "

Alessandro Del Piero scored his 178th league goal in Juventus' 4-0 win over Lecce at the weekend.
The Bianconeri have climbed to fifth place in the standings following the comprehensive victory, five points adrift of league leaders Lazio.
Del Piero's latest strike means that he has equalled club legend Giampiero Boniperti's goal tally in Serie A, an effort that he is very proud of.
"He's always said that he is happy for me, and that I should take over him," Del Piero told Sky Italia.
"And I'm sure he's sincere. Anyway, I will call him to know what he thinks.
"I am very pleased with this, but despite these numbers, I am very proud of the team.
"We played a good game, and we are starting to find continuity in our performances."

To recap: the organization first claimed there were more jobs in clean energy than in oil sands, then the organization denied it, then it released a brand-new blog post reaffirming in fact that it DID say precisely that in the first place. Are you still with me?
In recent years, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has come under fire for disallowing scientists working for the Canadian government to speak directly to the press.
We don't suggest one job is any more or less important, or appropriate, than the other, or that one is competing with the other. As we are seeing in Canada, both sectors can experience growth simultaneously.
For the last few years, energy independence seemed like a pretty good deal. What we're on the verge of discovering is that much of the production that makes it possible isn't viable in a world of falling oil prices.
The battle to stop the tar sands is far from over but this week shows that when we work together and support each other, when we are bold and courageous we can climb and move mountains. We are growing in numbers every day, and together we can and already are changing the world.
Over 60 protesters have been arrested opposing Kinder Morgan's new pipeline, including environmental activist David Suzuki's grandson Tamo Campos. Kinder Morgan plans to bore two small holes and then drill 250 metres into the mountain to test whether it can tunnel through the mountain to drastically increase the flow of diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands.
Bill sponsor U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and supporter U.S. Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) both stood on the Senate floor and said Keystone XL is not an export pipeline in the minutes leading up to the bill's failure.
Today was a good day for American leadership, showing that the big polluter agenda doesn't stand up.

Even with all the shouting between sides, we're still not discussing the real issue: The US has no comprehensive energy policy, and we stumble, under the terrible lack of leadership in Washington, from crisis to crisis with little effort to reduce our overall demand for heavy hydrocarbons such as crude and coal.
It's become a cliché to say that out of crisis comes opportunity. But there's no denying that when faced with crises, we have choices. The opportunity depends on what we decide to do. What choices will we make when confronted with the fact that 2014 will likely be the hottest year on record? Will politicians close their eyes while fossil fuel industry executives shovel money at them and enlist propagandists to spread misinformation and lies?
It's bad enough that David Black is allowing his newspaper chain to print misinformation. Newspaper people are usually pretty big on getting their facts right. But it is worse that Black is letting this happen at the same time he is seeking environmental credibility to bolster his refinery plans. The disconnect makes people wonder whether they can trust his "green" claims about Kitimat if his newspapers are preaching climate denial.
Alberta has the best solar and wind potential in all of Canada more than enough to power the entire province yet utilizes less than 1per cent of it. Alberta also has a highly skilled, trained workforce. Alberta has the welders, it has the electricians, it has the engineers, the machinists, it has all the people power it needs to make the solar powered leap.
If beaten-up Canadian investors are looking to assign blame for the bruising suffered by their portfolios of late, they could do worse than point an accusatory finger at China. The resource super-cycle that drove valuations so much higher over the last decade is now hobbling along at a snail's pace and China is a big part of the reason why.
A recent plunge in oil prices as been driving a steady stream of commentary from leading economic voices across the spectrum in Canada calling for everything from outright panic to 'stay the course'. With oil hovering just north of $80 per barrel, many are starting to question the future of pipelines, tar sands and other resource intensive extractive projects.

This is the only book I have read so far that has actually made me laugh out loud. It has a lot of personality with Augusten Burroughs' writing style, full of hilarious life situations and characters that fall victim to them. A very enjoyable, fast paced book.

Awesome yard! You have so many cool plants, I can only imagine how much bigger everything will be by next year! What zone are you in? The house itself looks pretty northern in style, but the landscaping looks zone 9! Thanks for sharing! -Alex |
Thank you. I have lots, lots lots more in the yard. But I didn't want to go too crazy. I live in Tampa, we're 9b I think. I had to do imitation tropical, or find ways to cheat the winters in Utah. Now I can grow just about anything I want. Uh...except grass, obviously. |
Oh, and then there's this thing I built for our wedding a couple months back. It's dismantled right now, thanks to Tropical Storm Debbie. But it sure made everything look cool. |
Nice photos. Must be nice being able to plant just about anything now. What's your future plans for the garden? |
Future plans. Well, I have built up islands here and there in the back. And as those plants grow and spread so will those islands. I want to eventually have little pathways so it feels like rooms. I'll have my Polynesian inspired stuff, and then some Asian stuff. Just a hodge podge of what I consider exotic and cool. Plant wise I have all my fantasy plants. I just need to watch them grow, as I discover others. But I really have everything I've ever wanted. And stuff like the washies while, not very exciting to most, remind me of childhood vacations at Disneyland. I should have posted my date palms and bamboo, but I forgot. |

Wow, that was a very cool tropical structure for your wedding, Too bad Debbie ruined it! You have a really awesome yard, cant wait to see it fill out and see the additions you add to it. I like Washingtonias a lot even though they are common palms! Thanks again for sharing! -Alex |

Love those spindle palms and the tiki hut. I made a tiki bar that adds to the palms I grow. Its amazing what a little bamboo can make. |
Love it all! Got any tiki torches in there? |
Thank you. I have about twenty tiki torches, but I only drag them out when we have people over. They just get wrecked in the weather. |

Premier League television rights have spiked in price once more, this time topping the £5bn mark for the first time once the final foreign rights are added to the domestic revenue.
Earlier this year, Sky and BT announced a £3.018bn domestic TV contract for the United Kingdom with a further few hundred million added on top for various highlights packages.
According to the Guardian, with the overseas contracts set to be far greater than the current £1.4bn the Premier League earns, total revenue is expected to exceed £5bn and ensure that from the 2013-14 season, Premier League clubs will be awarded more TV money than ever before.
The news will be welcomed by clubs currently struggling to make ends meet in terms of UEFA's Financial Fair Play programme, which stipulates that clubs must not grossly spend in excess of their earnings through legitimate means.

Named Best Place for a Kid's Birthday Party by the Pitch, and recently moved into a new and larger location in Tiffany Springs, Bounce House Moonwalks turns kids loose upon giant inflatables, interactive video games, a toddler area with a tiny roller coaster, and concessions. Parents can spend time using the free WiFi or hop around with their kids in the 24-foot-diameter spaceship that boasts air-filled aliens and a cockpit where kids can pretend they're in space outrunning other inflatables. After zipping around the imagined universe, sock-clad tots clamber over, under, and through the plush tubes and barriers of the 72-foot obstacle course before cascading down its slide. Over at the Xbox 360 Kinect system, kids play interactive video games in which they use their bodies as controllers. Bounce House Moonwalks also allows families to leave the facility at any point and return within the same day for no additional charge.
Donning Viking hats and oversize sunglasses, partygoers charge into the spacious confines of Booth Crazy's modern photo booths, which eschew the trappings and restrictions of retro nostalgia. Up to 10 prop-clad guests pile in front of the camera at once, making the booths ideal for capturing memories of extended families or duels between two classical quintets. A friendly photographic host sets up and maintains the booth throughout each event, helping attendees compose and create 4"x6" prints or 2"x6" strips, which can be emblazoned with custom designs. Cameras snap unlimited pictures, with their collected images uploaded to the Internet and flash drives for later perusal, printing, and sharing.
For the late Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes, the most important things in life were science and the arts. The good doctor wanted to share this devotion with the Indianapolis community, so he devised and funded Clowes Memorial Hall at Butler University. Completed in 1963, the hall shares Butler's gorgeous aesthetic with its arching stone fa?ade and lush crimson interior, which has room for over 2,000 patrons. In addition to major touring productions and public speakers, Clowes Memorial Hall is also the home of the Indianapolis Opera, the Butler Ballet, and the Indy 500.
With thousands of frame and mat samples, The Great Frame Up can satisfy any and all framing fantasies. The expert framespeople can make diplomas radiate (most diplomas can be framed for around $100–$200), personalized jerseys glisten (most for under $300), and dorm-room movie posters sparkle (many 24"x36" pieces for under $100). The design wizards can also find a home for any prized possession, such as shoebox photos, baby booties, ticket stubs, medals, and really good pot roasts. The Great Frame Up's no-hassle guarantee and assurance that all work is done on-site means your frameables won't be subject to mistreatment at underground commercial-framing facilities.
Good Pup founder and owner Patty Homer, who touts 20 years' experience in dog training, gets tails wagging with personalized, private lessons for all breeds of canines. Pooches learn to master commands such as sit, down, come, heel, yodel, and stay, and owners learn techniques that ensure results can be re-created outside the vacuum of Good Pup's training facility. Each of the obedience-training sessions can be scheduled at the owner's convenience, providing dogs ample time between sessions to play tug of war, go for w-a-l-k-s, and upload home videos of their owners chasing squirrels in their sleep.

I think Best Wishes was the better saga for a couple of reasons.
* There were rivals before the league throughout the saga. Rivals in general make for really solid arcs and episodes, though with flaws and needed improvements in Best Wishes. Even with these flaws, having rivals made for some entertaining tournaments and episodes.
* There being tournaments. The tournaments I felt were the best arcs of the saga, and unfortunately the Johto saga didn't have them.
* The non-plot related episodes were slightly more entertaining.
Aside from that, I see other things as making neither saga better or worse than the other.

Like father, like son, by Jesus
My Times column on Saturday was about conservative Christian colleges that pass leadership from father to son (that's Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University, above). But what may be of more interest to my dear readers is the interesting exchange I had afterward with a reader who sent a gently chastizing note arguing that I had mistaken fundamentalists for evangelicals. He wanted me to call Falwell, Bob Jones, and Oral Roberts (three men of very different theologies themselves) "fundamentalists," not "evangelicals."
My position has always been that "evangelical" is the broader, more inclusive term, referring to any Protestant who believes it is incumbent on him or her to evangelize, spread the good news, do mission work — you get the idea. Thus Southern Baptists, Missouri Synod Lutherans, Pentecostals, some Episcopalians (especially "low-church" Episcopalians), some Methodists but not all, most black Baptists, independent "Bible church" Christians, fundamentalists of a Bob Jones University stripe, etc. — but not, by and large, members of the United Church of Christ, or more liberal Lutherans, or American Baptist Convention members (I am speaking in general, throughout), etc.
By this understanding, all fundamentalists are evangelicals, but not all evangelicals are fundamentalists. This, to me, is just linguistic sanity. Fundamentalists are evangelicals who, historically speaking, happen to subscribe to the precepts laid out in an early-20th-century set of pamphlets (the Wikipedia entry on this looks pretty good) ... but for our purposes, they are more likely to be total biblical inerrantists and literalists, and they have a separatist strain when it comes to the culture at large that many non-fundamentalist evangelicals don't.
The problem is that many evangelicals want the media to call the far-right fundamentalists evangelicals "fundamentalists," to separate them from more moderate evangelicals. Yet many of those fundamentalists think the term "fundamentalist" is derogatory. They may just want to be called evangelicals — or just "Christians." So it's a very loaded topic.
For a useful analogy: Modern Orthodox Jews would like the more separatist and more hostile-to-modernity Jews to be called "ultra-Orthodox" or haredi (Hebrew for "trembling"), to emphasize the modernists' relative modernity, hipness, sanity (they might say). But ultra-Orthodox Jews, like many other Jews, would often like to be called just Jews, or maybe Orthodox Jews, or "Torah Jews."
Anyway, here is my reader's and my email thread, edited for easier consumption: He began:
Dear Mr. Oppenheimer,Although you call them "evangelical schools," Liberty University, Oral Roberts University, and Bob Jones University are all fundamentalist rather than evangelical institutions.Why do you suppose it is that even an informed author such as yourself tends to confuse evangelical and fundamentalist Protestant Christianity so easily? Perhaps you could write a future column about that.
I wrote back:
Fundamentalism is a subset of evangelicalism.
He wrote:
I can see why you would think so. After all, evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity are both theologically conservative. Still, I believe you are not correct, and that evangelicalism and fundamentalism are separate and distinct.Evangelicalism arose in the 1940s, in reaction to what some conservative Christian theologians believed to be a lack of social action on the part of fundamentalist Christianity (cf. publication of Carl F. H. Henry's landmark The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism in 1947).Another major difference between evangelicals and fundamentalists is that the former tend to be less literal in their interpretation of Scripture. For example, fundamentalists believe that God created the world in six literal days, i.e. 24-hour periods. Evangelicals tend to think of the seven-day creation framework in Genesis as a literary construct that should not be taken strictly as a single calendar week.
And I wrote:
Don't get me wrong: you are absolutely correct that, sociologically speaking, "fundamentalist" is often used to refer to the subset you are talking about, and other "evangelicals" are often seen as a contrast. But "evangelical" is the broader term ... and if one is referring to conservative Christians who take spreading the gospel seriously (as many mainline churches no longer do), "evangelical" is a very safe term for them all. It's true that, say, Wheaton grads must hate being grouped in the same word as Bob Jones grads, but that doesn't mean there isn't a broad word that applies to them both. (Indeed, some of these groups often resent sharing "Christian" with them.)
These terms are fuzzy, claimed by some groups but not by others, or by some groups some of the time, or by observers not in these groups.
But look, we could do an experiment: call some people at Bob Jones or Liberty and ask if they are evangelical Christians! And let me know what they say...
I'll let you know if he takes me up on that. Meanwhile, what do you think?

What is a Monroney sticker?
The Bankrate.com financial term of the day is: "Monroney sticker."
Did you know that the informational window sticker on a new car has a name? It's called the Monroney sticker, named after a longtime Oklahoma congressman, Mike Monroney, who wrote the Automobile Information Disclosure Act. That federal law requires the label to include important information about the vehicle's cost and its gas mileage. The sticker can't come off until the car is sold.
You might think of a Monroney sticker as a nutrition label for a new car fresh out of the factory.

"You can smell love," says Robert. "If anyone I used to be in love with still loves me, I can tell." He makes dates with former lovers to sniff them across a cafe table, while meanwhile Richard, an eye doctor who is going deaf, hires a hooker to listen to music with him. Ruth the massage therapist still has her touch with her clients, but is out of touch with her daughter Rachel. Rachel allows a little girl to wander out of her sight and get lost. Rona is great at decorating cakes, but they don't taste good.
"The Five Senses" tells interlocking stories about people who are losing their senses, and fear they are losing themselves in the process. But to state the film's subject that directly is to miss the way the writer-director, Jeremy Podeswa, intercuts the stories. He doesn't insist on the senses and the danger of their loss, but allows the fears of his characters to emerge in stories that have weight of their own. Like "Magnolia" and "Short Cuts," the real subject of the movie is loneliness.
The lost child provides the central story. While Ruth (Gabriella Rose) massages Anna (Molly Parker), Ruth's teenage daughter Rachel (Nadia Litz) is assigned to take Anna's young daughter to the park. There Rachel meets Rupert (Brendan Fletcher), a boy about her age, who invites her to follow a couple into the woods. Fascinated by indistinct views of the couple making love, Rachel forgets the little girl, who wanders away and is lost. The search for the girl occupies much of the film, although Podeswa gives the audience a cue that the girl may be safe. In its labyrinthine way, the story curls back to Rachel and Rupert, who play a game with makeup and wigs that may, ironically, help them get better in touch with themselves ("It's like looking at you inside out," Rachel tells him).
There is bittersweet humor in some of the other stories. The bad cake baker Rona (Mary-Louise Parker) has fallen in love with a chef during a trip to Italy. Roberto (Marco Leonardi) follows her back to Toronto, moves in, cooks delicious dishes, makes love, is happy. But Rona cannot believe her good luck and fears Roberto is simply after money or a passport. Against this lighter comedy stands the sadness of Richard (Philippe Volter), the eye doctor, who is consciously collecting a library of remembered sounds against the day when he goes deaf.
Love has its way of finding paths around problems, and that is the discovery of Robert (Daniel MacIvor), a bisexual house cleaner who works for a couple whose house he cannot quite figure out. She is a perfume designer, and one day when she lets him sniff a new perfume, everything suddenly becomes clear.
A story like "Five Senses" sounds like a gimmick, but Podeswa has a light touch when dealing with the senses and a sure one when telling his stories. The evolution of Rachel, the angry girl, is especially touching; as we find out more about her problems, and the reasons she can't communicate with her mother, we begin to care. She's a lot more than just the girl who lost the child in the park. And the missing child's mother, Anna, is more than simply a cliche of a grief-stricken parent. She deals with the loss with her mind as well as her feelings, does not necessarily blame Ruth's daughter, finds herself depending on Ruth and prays in a way that is particularly touching.
Interwoven stories like this can have a particular effect on me. Most movies tell linear plots in which the hero moves from A to B, accompanied by human plot devices. They can be very involving, but I also like the messiness of movies that cut from one story to another, showing how lives can intersect and separate.
Some people find these kinds of movies contrived. I think it is just the opposite. A to B stories are obviously plots. Stories like this one show that life goes on all around, and over and beneath, and inside, the artifice of plot.

Addressing Cheating and Plagiarism in the Classroom: This guide deals with issues of academic dishonesty, and provides many resources to help faculty who encounter this issue.
First Day: You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and the first day of class is no exception. This How To page contains tips for Rapport Building, Motivating and Engaging students as well as setting the stage for the semester's goals.
Rapport With Students: Building and maintaining rapport with students are vital componenets of achieving excellence in teaching and learning. The practical advice in this paper is presented in a manner adaptable to any classroom setting.

Hedgeapple Farm
Second trip, and we'll be back
By: Jim Stratton (Apr 24, 2011)
We just purchased our second premium boxed beef assortment from Hedgeapple Farm, and couldn't be happier with the beef. We bought the same box last year (though there's some variability in the larger cuts - which we like because it lets us try out some new things) and were really impressed with the quality and the flavor of the beef. If you have some freezer space, I highly recommend picking up one of assortment packs, it's a huge savings off the full market price, and has a great selection of steaks, roasts and other cuts. We'll be back again next spring!

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board will call a special meeting later this month to vote on Superintendent Heath Morrisons performance bonus, Chairman Mary McCray said Tuesday.
The state test results released last week provided crucial data for his evaluation, but McCray said the board wont be ready to vote Tuesday, which is the only meeting scheduled for November.
Morrison currently makes $288,000 a year and is eligible for a performance bonus up to 10 percent of that. His contract calls for the board to vote on the bonus by Oct. 31. However, it also says two-thirds of his total potential opportunity shall be based on achievement of CMS goals.
It is not clear how the 2013 test results, which are normally a crucial gauge of student achievement, will play into Morrisons evaluation and bonus. Proficiency rates plunged dramatically from 2012, but that was expected as North Carolina rolled out tougher new exams tied to national Common Core standards. Fewer than half of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools students rated as proficient in reading and math, but CMS outperformed state averages in all subjects and grade levels.
Because there was no test-score data available until Thursday, the board left many of the districts academic performance goals blank when they approved a strategic plan recently.
This will be the first CMS evaluation for Morrison, who was hired in 2012.

Cloris Leachman to Retirement Communities: Be Kind to Seniors and Animals
Cloris has sent letters to nearly 300 retirement communities urging the facilities that have caged birds or other captive animals on display to work with PETA to move them to more humane settings. And she's asking each of the communities to pledge not to keep birds or any other animals caged in the future.
"It is insulting to suggest that retired, elderly individuals can be entertained by watching miserable birds spend their entire lives unable to follow their instincts," she writes. "Cages deny birds all that is natural and important to them—including room to fly, fresh air, and enough water to bathe in."
Cloris contends that kind senior citizens like herself would much rather watch wild birds in a natural setting—for example, munching on seeds outdoors, splashing in bird baths, building nests in trees, and flitting from plant to plant in bird-friendly gardens—than see them languishing in tiny cages.
We'll keep you updated as communities take Cloris' advice and let birds fly free.
