NEWTOWN -- Authorities are seeking to determine whether criminal charges should be brought against a Newtown man they say stored as much as 300 gallons of human urine in his home.

The man, whose name has not been released because he has not been charged, has spoken with state and local environmental officials, according to Department of Energy and Environmental Protection spokesman Dennis Schain.

When DEEP investigators, at the behest of local health officials, searched the house on Berkshire Road they found "200 to 300 one-gallon plastic jugs" filled with urine, Schain said.

The average person produces about six cups of urine a day.

BLOOMINGTON (CBSLA.com) — Bloomington High School students arrived at Santa Anita Park on Saturday expecting to attend their prom, only to discover they were a week early, after a scheduling mix-up by the school.

Santa Anita Park told the students that their prom was scheduled for May 5, though the school had told students the event would be held on April 27. The mix-up sent the venue scrambling to accomodate the 400 students.

Santa Anita successfully cleared a room and secured a D.J. for the event. Still, student Maritza Valdez described the event as “upsetting” and “disappointing.”

The school is taking the blame, calling it a miscommuncation, according to the school’s principal. They acknowledge that the night is also a costly one for students and their families.

EPSOM, NH (CBS) – Henry Gribbohm says he lost his life savings, $2,600, on a carnival game and all he has to show for it is a stuffed banana with dreadlocks.

“You’re expecting the kids to win a few things, let the kids have a good time,” said Gribbohm. “It just didn’t turn out that way.”

Gribbohm says he attended a Manchester carnival run by New Hampshire-based Fiesta Shows and wanted to win an Xbox Kinect at a game called Tubs of Fun where contestants toss balls into a tub. When he practiced he says it was easy, but something changed when he started playing for the prize and the balls kept popping out.

In a cup or two a day, the caffeine in coffee tweaks us out enough to be the driving force behind the workforce. Ingest all the coffee that they did on Friends, however, and you’ll be asking yourself, “could I be…any more dead?”

No TV show exemplified our love of coffee more than Friends. An appreciable percentage of the show took place in a coffee shop, and it introduced us to the monstrous 20 oz. mug. These six friends slurped more coffee than you are ever likely to see; they ingested enough caffeine over the years to kill hundreds of people.

To find out what kind of caffeine ingestion Joey, Chandler, Ross, Phoebe, Rachel and Monica had over the 10 seasons of Friends, we need to make a few assumptions. First, given their famous mugs, we’ll assume that they drink 20 oz. coffees. Second, we’ll assume that each friend consumes maybe two of these enormous drinks each episode. Finally, we assume that this kind of coffee mainlining happened over each of Friends’ 236 episodes.

A passenger who flew from Philadelphia to San Francisco was detained on arrival by federal agents after a vindictive flight attendant claimed he had not flushed a lavatory toilet, according to a federal suit.

The suit, which seeks $500,000 in damages, was filed last week in the Northern District of California.

Salvatore Bevivino, 52, a business manager for Genentech, boarded a Virgin America flight on April 28, 2012. After the plane reached cruising altitude over Indiana, the former Amblerite pushed the call button and asked for a soda.

According to the suit, a male attendant told Bevivino that if he wanted a drink he would have to use a computer touch screen installed on the back of the facing seat.

It is the latest of several cases of seeming arrogance by the wealthy and well-connected that have caused anger recently in a country with deep class divisions.

"As a society, we are fed up with, disgusted with this," said writer Guadalupe Loaeza. "This is an attitude of the past; it doesn't fit with the times."

The government said uit has launched an investigation into the incident over the weekend at an upscale Mexico City restaurant. The announcement came after an outpouring of anger in social media over the raid by inspectors - a contrast to the past when people didn't have the means to publicize such incidents.

LEBANON, Maine — A 12-year-old girl suffered more than a dozen bites when she was attacked Friday afternoon by her family’s two pit bulls named Jager and Meister, according to the Maine State Police.

The 7-month-old dogs, who were taken to a Kennebunk animal shelter, were named for the German liqueur, Stephen McCausland said in a press release issued Sunday morning.

The case will be turned over to the York County district attorney’s office to determine if charges will be filed.

The girl, who was bitten on her legs and shoulder, was taken to Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NH., the press release said. Her younger sister and another girl suffered cuts and bruises, but were not bitten. The girls climbed onto a pickup truck in the yard to escape the animals.

Information about the 12-year-old’s condition was not available Sunday morning.

NEW DELHI (AP) -- Police on Monday arrested a man who allowed his 9-year-old son to drive his Ferrari in the southern Indian state of Kerala.

Mohammed Nisham was arrested on charges of endangering the life of a child and allowing a minor to drive, said Inspector Biju Kumar.

He was later released after posting bail of 5,000 rupees ($92), Kumar said.

Nisham's wife filmed the boy driving the sports car on his ninth birthday two weeks ago with his 5-year-old brother in the passenger seat. The video was widely watched on YouTube and created an outrage across India, causing police to file charges.

India's economic boom has created a class of super-rich, whose excesses are frequently in the news.

"Two and a Half Men" is going to lose its half. The U.S. sitcom has been renewed for 11th season together with casts Jon Cryer and Ashton Kutchen, but Angus T. Jones, who had once released a rant-filled video against the show, is noticeably absent from the line-up.

CBS network announced on Friday that the show will return for another season with both Cryer and Kutcher signing in for a one-year contract. However, former child actor Jones, who plays Jake Harper, the titular "half," will not be returning as a series regular.

Instead of a regular role, he might be offered just a significantly reduced role on the show. According to EW, production studio Warner Bros. is talking to the 19-year-old actor about the possibility of a recurring role.

It can be recalled that Jones bashed the show in a YouTube video in November last year. In the second part of the infamous video, Jones pleaded with the viewers not to watch his show because it's "filth."
