Blobs of tar have been spotted off the coast of Key West; a woman gets federal time for bringing cocaine-starched clothes through Atlanta's airport; the events leading to the fatal shooting of a sleeping Detroit girl may be on a TV show's video footage; a waitress loses her job for what she said on Facebook.  Get today's KISS News Now!

• Sticky tar balls ranging from tennis ball to volleyball size have washed up on the coast off Key West.  The sticky blobs are being sent to a lab to determine whether they're from the massive spill in the Gulf.  BP COO Doug Suttles says a real solution is still months away.  He says in the early part of August, they expect to have a relief well down which will permanently cap the leaking well head.
  
  
• A 59-year-old Montreal woman is sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for trying to smuggle three kilos of cocaine through Hartsfield-Jackson Airport last July.  Acting on a tip, Customs stopped Elizabeth Wyonch, who was carrying a suitcase full of clothes soaked in cocaine on the way from Peru to Canada, and found the clothing unusually stiff to the touch.  Tests showed they were positive for cocaine.  Smugglers use the trick to try to avoid detection by dogs or pat-downs; once the clothes arrive, they are soaked in water which then evaporates and the drugs dry back into their powder form.
  
  
• Hollywood comes to Lakewood.  The Atlanta City Council unananimously votes to turn over the old fairgrounds to Screen Gems, a film and movie production company.  Thousands of jobs will be created and $6 million is to be immediately invested in the Lakewood community.
  
  
• Kathy Cox is stepping down as Georgia's school superintendent to take over a new national education nonprofit.  Cox says she will start her new job July 1.  The new group hopes to help schools increase student achievement.  Cox is known for striking the word "evolution" from the state's biology curriculum in 2004 (which she later replaced after heavy nationwide criticism); improving test scores among students of color and narrowing the achievement gap; and won praise for toughening tests used to measure whether students met federal benchmarks.  Cox threw out some middle school social studies results when students failed the new exams in 2008.  She won $1 million on the "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" show in 2008 and pledged to donate it to three schools for the deaf or blind in Georgia--but the money's now tied up in court as Cox and her husband filed for bankruptcy, and they are seeking to use the money to pay off some debts.
  
  
• The Detroit police raid on an apartment which killed a seven-year-old girl in her sleep may all be caught on tape.  A lawyer for Aiyana Jones' father says because a camera crew from A&E's reality show "The First 48" was with Detroit cops, the operation was flawed and influenced by the TV crew.  Charles Jones says his daughter was set afire by a flash grenade cops threw inside as they served a no-knock warrant looking for a homicide suspect--and shot immediately afterward.  Police say the officer's gun went off by accident.
  
  
• Hiram Police are hunting a couple of elusive scam artists who run ads on Craigslist for bargain-priced cars and trucks.  The ads say it's "must-sell" because of a "family emergency," and ask for payment via Moneygram.  Red flag!  Hiram Police say would-be buyers quickly find out the vehicle doesn't exist and the crooks take the money and run.  They've been pulling this scam across metro Atlanta and in at least three other states.
  
  
• First Lady Michelle Obama has some new allies in her fight against childhood obesity.  In a direct response to her "Let's Move" campain, an alliance of major manufacturers--including Coca-Cola, Campbell's, Kellogg, and Kraft--vow to slash 1 trillion calories from their foods and drinks by the year 2012. 
  
  
• Two women upset with their breakfast order at a Daytona Beach Wendy's are now under arrest.  20-year-old Melanese Reid was reportedly so mad she went inside to chase the Wendy's drive-thru worker with a pink Taser while her friend cheered her on.  They left before police got there--but were later tracked down when they called cops themselves to complain about the restaurant's service.
  
  
• Another warning to watch out what you write on Facebook.  A North Carolina waitress got fired for going on Facebook and blasting a couple who sat at her table for three hours and left a five-dollar tip.  She called them "cheap."  The restaurant said the 22-year-old employee violated the company policy of not disparaging customers and making the pizza place look bad on a social network.
  
  
• Expect to see costly, crowded flights this summer.  An airline industry analyst with Bestfares.com says the combination of the continued economic recovery with airlines keeping capacity lower will prompt some fares to be as much as double what they were last summer.
  
   
• Jazz pianist Hank Jones has died at the age of 91.  For three and a half decades he was primarily a sideman, most notably with Ella Fitzgerald; for much of that time he also worked as a studio musician on radio and television.  He also was the man on the ivories as Marilyn Monroe sang "Happy Birthday" to President Kennedy in 1962.  Jones was awarded a Grammy lifetime achievement award last year. 
  
  
• UPS joins efforts to help build The Center for Civil and Human Rights in downtown Atlanta's tourism district.  They've donated a half-million dollars to support construction of the museum, which is expected to cost about $125 million.
