(Tuesday, 26 May 2009)  TI surrenders to federal authorities today to begin doing his time on federal weapons charges; Mike Tyson's four-year-old daughter accidentally hangs herself and is on life support; President Obama nominates his choice for the next Supreme Court justice.  All the latest details are on today's KISS News Now!

• Police identify two suspects in a brutal Loganville home invasion: Corey Butler and J. J. Blackwell of Monroe.  Cops allege they posed as potential buyers of an elderly couple's truck, even taking it for a test drive, before attacking the pair and severely beating them--and robbing them of just $117.  The man is out of the hospital and in hiding; his wife is due to undergo reconstructive facial surgery today.
  
  


• TI reports by noon today to start serving his federal sentence for trying to buy automatic guns and silencers.  At a packed Philips Arena Sunday, TI told fans he would stay positive while behind bars, and he urged them to pray for him.  He says he's already learned a lesson.
  
  "I've made it through some very extreme circumstances, and I didn't always have firearms to protect me," TI--whose real name is Clifford Harris, Jr., says, "and I'm still here.  So if I was supposed to be gone, I'd have been gone then."
  
  The 28-year-old will serve his time at a low-security federal lockup in Forrest City, Arkansas.  He urges fans not to admire him for the bad things he's done.
  
  "If anything, admire me for how I've accepted responsibility for the part I played in placing myself in these situations, and what I've done to recover."
  
  TI's farewell-for-now concert Sunday was said to be one of his best ever.
  
  
   

• Mike Tyson's four-year-old daughter is on life support this morning in Phoenix.  Police Sgt. Andy Hill says Exodus Tyson's seven-year-old brother found her with her neck caught in a treadmill cable which strangled her like a noose.
  
  "The four-year-old girl was playing around with some exercise equipment and somehow managed to cross a cable underneath her," says Hill.  "It got caught on her neck and...she eventually lost consciousness." 
  
  Exodus' brother alerted their mother, who ran in, took Exodus off the cord where she'd accidentally hanged herself, called 911 and tried to revive her.  Emergency responders gave the girl CPR as they rushed her to a hospital where she is in "extremely critical condition," according to Hill.
  
  Hill said former heavyweight champion Tyson, 42, had been in Las Vegas but flew to Phoenix immediately after learning of the accident.
  
  

• President Barack Obama will today announce that his choice for the U. S. Supreme Court is federal appeals court judge Sonia Sotomayor.  Judge Sotomayor, 54, is described by more than one legal analyst as moderate and to the left, and would be the first Hispanic judge--her parents are Puerto Rican--if she's confirmed.  The Manhattan-born judge is expected to have bipartisan appeal, as she was appointed to the federal bench by President H. W. Bush, and later promoted to the appellate court by President Clinton.
  
  Her nomination to the appeals court was delayed 15 months, reportedly because of concerns by Republicans that she might someday be considered for the Supreme Court.  The nomination by President Obama is the crowning accomplishment in a career spanning three decades that includes a long list of achievements: Yale Law School; a stint as a prosecutor and at a Manhattan law firm; a key ruling in 1995 that brought Major League Baseball back to the nation after a strike; and most recently a job as a federal appeals judge.
  
  

• The Republican governor of Nevada is refusing an opportunity to greet the President when he visits the state for a fundraiser for Senator Harry Reid.  Governor Jim Gibbons blames President Obama for $100 million in lost revenue after the President said this year that companies getting bailout money shouldn't be spending on corporate jets and Vegas vacations on the taxpayer's dime.
  
  

• The Snellville man behind bars in LA for the shooting of Atlanta rapper Dolla will try to get his bail reduced at a hearing today.  Aubrey Berry is now being held on a million dollars bond.  Berry's lawyer insists his client shot in self-defense.
  
  

• A burglary at a southwest Atlanta liquor store cost the business more than $100,000 dollars in stolen inventory and property damage.  Someone cut a hole through the back wall of Ben Hill Liquor on Campbellton Road and filled up a truck with only high-end vodka, rum and whiskey.
  
  

• Martin Luther King III is being honored by a Serbian foundation for his humanitarian efforts in the tradition of his father.  He is expected to receive the award overseas today.
  
  

• The same moment Natalie Cole found out there was a kidney being donated to her, she was at her dying sister's side.  Carole "Cookie" Cole died last week from cancer, on the same day her little sister got her transplant.  Cookie Cole, whose credits include "Sanford and Son" and the original version of the movie "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3," was 64.
  
   

• The KISS 104.1 weather forecast:  a hazy, humid day with a chance of strong afternoon showers; high of 78, low of 66.
