The former DeKalb Schools superintendent is accused of bid rigging and bribery; two popular weight loss drugs may cause liver damage in rare cases; a two-year-old boy has a two-pack-a-day habit; click on live footage of the Gulf oil gusher to see how BP's latest fix is working--or not.

• The former superintendent of DeKalb County schools has been released from jail on $200,000 bond.  Dr. Crawford Lewis is one of four people facing racketeering and bribery charges.  Among the indictment's accusations: they took cash and gifts to steer construction contracts to firms tied to the former district COO Pat Reid Pope and her husband; bought personal vacations with county purchasing cards; and a secretary racked up $43,000 in overtime pay to run errands.
  
  
• A popular weight loss aid could threaten your liver.  The FDA says Alli, and its prescription version Xenical, have been linked to liver damage in 13 cases--most of them overseas.  Users should alert their doctors if they experience itching, yellow eyes and skin, or dark urine.  The rare side effect may come from the way some people metabolize the drug orlistat.  About 40 million people use the drugs.  Alli was the first over-the-counter drug approved by the FDA to fight obesity in America.
  
  
• A Shiloh High School Teacher of the Year resigns over sex with a student.  The AJC reports 29-year-old language arts teacher Keenan Hall of Gwinnett County allegedly pressured the 17-year-old to show his commitment by asking him to give her a baby, and that she changed his grade to an F when he wouldn't.   The young man says he and Hall hooked up from October to spring break, even once having sex in a classroom at Shiloh.  Now 18, he graduates Friday and has a scholarship to play football in North Carolina.  Hall could face criminal charges, and her teaching license is at stake.
  
  
• You might call him "Ciggie Smalls."  A two-year-old Indonesian boy is a two-pack-a-day toddler.  Ardi Rizal smokes an average of 40 cigarettes a day, and his mother says he goes into tantrums if he doesn't get his smokes.  The boy's father introduced him to smoking when he was 18 months old.
  
  

  
  
  In Indonesia, one-third of the population smokes, more and more teenagers are lighting up, and tobacco is still advertised on TV commercials--unlike in the U. S.
  

  
  
  

• The winner of American Idol 2010 is...Lee DeWyze.  Simon Cowell's also ending his eight-year run with the show.  Janet Jackson was among the finale performers, and Idol brought back Atlanta's General Larry Platt to perform "Pants on the Ground."
  
  
  
• More students dress in KKK robes for a school project.  This time, it was last week at Sweetwater Middle in Gwinnett County--and the 8th grade social studies teacher, Stephanie Hunte, is black.  Gwinnett Schools spokeswoman Sloan Roach says another teacher who saw the kids preparing in the hallway alerted an assistant principal, who told Hunte such a demonstration was inappropriate and would not take place.  Roach says Hunte didn't reveal until this week that she'd staged a similar exercise in another class the day before.  An HR investigation's underway.
  
  
• I'd like to call Red Light Camera #2 to the stand.  A defense lawyer representing two alleged red light-runners in Athens/Clarke County subpoenas the traffic cameras to testify.  Regina Quick says since the police officer who signed the tickets and the civilian tech who printed off the images couldn't tell her how the technology works, she wanted to go straight to the source.  Her clients were acquitted--but because the judge said prosecutors failed to show the cars were registered to those drivers.
  
  
• After raising more than $80 million for charity, Oprah Winfrey's Angel Network is shutting down.  Its closing coincides with the ending of her TV talk show.  Winfrey will highlight other charitable groups when she launches her new 24-hour cable Oprah Winfrey Network in January.
  
  
• BP says there are encouraging signs that the top kill may work on that Gulf oil gusher.  Crews are pumping mud into the well and should know within 24 hours whether the effort is successful.  If so, they'll pump cement in next.  President Obama visits the Gulf tomorrow and gets a briefing on the progress before submitting himself to tough questions from reporters as some angry citizens complain that the administration should step in--and should've done so sooner.  The president today is expected to announce a six-month moratorium on new deepwater offshore drilling.Watch the LIVE Gulf oil leak cam here, and see if the "top kill" is working.
