A DeKalb teacher is found not guilty of contributing to the delinquency of minors; a local restaurant chain is giving Haiti worlds full of money; Dr. J is facing a foreclosure; should you have bagels or bacon for breakfast?   The answer may surprise you--and it's on today's KISS News Now!

• A jury finds fired Southwest DeKalb High chorus teacher Nathan Grigsby not guilty of allowing teen boys to do a raunchy strip tease in the classroom.  Now, Nathan Grigsby--who is working at Agnes Scott College--wants his job back, but the school system is apparently declining that idea, saying that while what happened may not have been judged criminal, it was still inappropriate.  Undeterred by the not-guilty verdict, DeKalb's Solicitor now plans to prosecute the former students who performed the strip tease.
  
  
  

  The video shows three teenagers taking off their shirts and gyrating with some female classmates as the girls squeal. One of the boys grabbed a girl and hoisted her up as she wrapped her legs around his hips. Watch a half-minute of the video on Channel 2's website.
  
  

• Roswell Police arrest a woman they say is responsible for a string of hit and runs--all of them this morning.  It started at Old Alabama and ended at the ramp to Holcolmb Bridge; in that stretch, she's accused of hitting--count 'em--three different cars, and she kept going every time.   After the third crash, police say, the driver got out of her car and crawled away--but pedestrians caught her and held her for police.  It's not clear why she hit so many vehicles; she's been taken to the hospital for evaluation.
  
  

• An Atlanta restaurant group is giving the world to Haiti--six worlds, in fact.  This Is It! customers spent the last two months donating their change into half a dozen globes. This Is It! CEO Butch Anthony says today, the globes will be sawed open and the contents donated to the Red Cross for earthquake relief.
  
  "We're trying to reach out to the community, to build support as much as we can, because at This Is It!, we believe in people," Anthony tells KISS.  "Christ died for people, not profit."
  
  Anthony says he'll match the donation in the name of the Angel's Gift Bag foundation, named for his late 16-year-old daughter.  He says after her death in December, the family was surprised to find out how many charitable things the Sandy Creek High student did to help others--without ever telling anyone she was doing it.
  
  "She would take her lunch money and help try to get people's lights turned on--you know, help put food on their table.  And those were things that we didn't know that she was doing," he says.
  
  Angel Anthony died in December when a car she was riding in slammed into a mailbox in Fayette County.  She was in the backseat, and not wearing a seatbelt.
  
   

• In KISS news about your health:  break out the bacon and eggs for breakfast!  Researchers at the University of Alabama Birmingham say a higher-fat meal in the morning may be a good thing--helping program certain parts of the metabolism that help prevent artery disease, stroke or type-2 diabetes.  A study in mice indicates the timing of your calories may be as important as what you eat, and that high-carb breakfasts and/or higher-fat lunches and dinners contributed to weight gain and other problems. 
  
  
• April Fools' Day Fun:  Google users today will find their computers redirected to Topeka, in honor of the Kansas town which wanted to change its name to Google.  And Starbucks announces two new coffee drink sizes:  the 128-ounce Plenta, and the two-ounce Micra.  Depending which size you order, Starbucks says you can recycle the cups into a lampshade or a paper clip holder.
  
  
• A nine-year-old Atlanta boy called the cops--trying to avoid trouble at home.  It wasn't the best plan; the boy had been suspended from school, so he made up a story that a black man wearing Air Force Ones and a ski mask had kidnapped him.  APD isn't charging him, but his parents may not be so understanding.
  
  

• Dr. J is facing foreclosure.  Not at home, but at his Atlanta golf course.  A lawyer says Julius Erving's Celebrity Golf Club International was not ever worth the $11 million he paid for it, and the monthly expenses of about $75,000 were simply too much.  The previous owner had defaulted on the mortgage, too--unbeknownst to Dr. J. The course in Tucker used to be called Heritage Golf Club. Erving's attorney Dorna Taylor tells the AJC that his business partner put the deal together, knowing that the property wouldn't appraise for the $11 loan Erving was set up to assume, and that "the numbers were misrepresented." She says that the property is worth about $2 million. Still, she says, Dr. J's dream is to open seven golf courses around the world.
  
  
• A Georgia Tech maintenance man is behind bars this morning, accused of firing a high-powered rifle at a teenager.  Police say 48-year-old Mark Smith was apparently irritated that the 13-year-old boy kept dribbling his basketball outside the Centennial Place Apartments.  The boy's mother says a split second after yelling at the boy, Smith opened fire on her son.    No one was hit. Smith's been charged with illegally discharging a firearm.
  
  
• We've got the secret behind how one Oscar winner got back in shape so quickly after the birth of her first child: Weight Watchers.  And now, Jennifer Hudson's signed on to become the newest spokeswoman for the group.  She says Weight Watchers' points plan helped her lose 60 pounds after her son was born in August.
  
  
• Metro Atlantans lag behind the rest of the country on census surveys.  About 50% of Americans nationwide have returned their mail-in census forms.  That's not the case in metro Atlanta, where between 39-47 percent of questionnaires have been returned.  The once-every-10-year census helps determine how much federal money and how many Congressional members we get.  Also--it's cheaper to mail it in. Returning the questionnaire by mail costs 42 cents of taxpayer money, but it's about 60 bucks a pop when a worker has to come door-to-door.
  
  A new poll finds about 85% of Hispanics say they intend to participate in the census. Ten years ago, the mail participation rate among Hispanics was roughly 69%.  The poll shows the hardest-to-reach aren't immigrants but rather Hispanics born in America.
  
  
• Fed up with FarmVille, that game people play on Facebook?  At least you can "hide" it in your news feed.  But a city councilman in Bulgaria got voted out of his job by colleagues who said he was too addicted to the real-time Facebook farming game.  He got in trouble for milking virtual cows during budget meetings.
  
   
• Some Gwinnett County home invaders add insult to injury.  Police say the burglars stole a flat-screen TV, computers and other items from a Snellville home--and when they found the homeowner's car keys, loaded up the goods in her vehicle and took that, too.  Cops say this is tied to other recent home invasions nearby, and hope to soon arrest the suspects they've identified.
  
  
• We can't give you that $43 million, but how about some pancakes and bacon?  A Colorado woman was thrilled to win a $42.9 million jackpot off a penny slot machine--but her mood quickly changed when the casino said the jackpot readout was a mistake.  The top prize posted for penny slots was $251,000--but apparently Louise Chavez didn't even win that.  The casino is testing the machine to find out what's wrong.  Chavez says the Fortune Valley Casino offered her free breakfast...but she thinks she's owed something more.
