6:10 Boneheads in the news: You know they jack up the prices around any event, but an Indiana couple didn't expect to pay nearly 3000 bucks ... for two beers.
The two were attending the NFL Experience at the Indiana Convention Center and used their credit card to buy two beers at the concession stand. It should have cost them 14 dollars, but they found out later that their credit card had been charged $2,995.
The concession manager said they are working to correct the problem -- and that overcharges like that are rare.

Man Steals Five Tons Of Glacier Ice To Make Cocktails
A Chilean man has been arrested on suspicion of stealing five tons of ice from the protected Jorge Montt glacier in the Patagonia region of Chile so he could make fancy ice cubs for cocktails at bars and restaurants. That glacier is already retreating at a rate of half a mile a year. The suspect was found with a refrigerated truck containing the estimated $6,000 in ice, bound for capital city Santiago to carve out designer ice cubes for cocktails. He’s been charged with theft, as well as violation of national monuments.

6:20 ABC Sports According to a new study, testosterone causes a lot of trouble, making people less cooperative and more egocentric.
Researchers found that the male sex hormone can make us overvalue our own opinions and blind us to other people's views.
"We have shown that in fact testosterone also affects our decisions, by making us more egotistical," explained study author Nick Wright.
"Most of the time, this allows us to seek the best solution to a problem, but sometimes, too much testosterone can help blind us to other people's views. This can be very significant when we are talking about a dominant individual trying to assert his or her opinion in, say, a jury." (MSN.com)

7:15 For two months every year, sports fans have to make a decision – watch football or baseball on Sundays? Based on the number of Americans who say football is their favorite sport, one would have to assume that football wins hands down. A new Harris Poll survey found that 36% of adults who follow at least one sport say professional football is their favorite sport, while just 13% say baseball is their favorite. The gap between the two sports has widened in the past year – last year 31% said pro football was their favorite, while 17% said baseball was their favorite sport. Next year, it’s possible that college football could overtake baseball. America’s favorite sports:
Pro football 36% Swimming 2%
Baseball 13% Men’s golf 2%
College football 13% Men’s soccer 1%
Auto racing 8% Bowling 1%
Men’s pro basketball 5% Women’s tennis 1%
Men’s college basketball 5% Track & field 1%
Hockey 5% Women’s soccer less than 0.5%
Men’s tennis 2% Women’s college basketball less than 0.5%
Boxing 2% Women’s pro basketball less than 0.5%
Horse racing 2% Women’s golf less than 0.5%

7:30 Tim's News You Can't Use Prison Cookbook
How about some tuna nachos for your Super Bowl party? It’s one of the recipes from women serving time in Texas. Six female convicts have compiled an unusual cookbook, “From The Big House to Your House.” One of the recipes is for tuna nachos. Inmate Celeste Johnson says it sounds disgusting but it grows on you. Prison cooking isn’t easy. The women don’t have access to a stove, refrigerator or a knife. Anything that needs heating must be done in a hot pot, which warms water, but not to the boiling point because boiling water could be used as weapon.

Dad Arrested During Delivery
Police in western Pennsylvania busted Ayende Crawford in a hospital delivery room as his girlfriend was about to give birth to their baby. Authorities say Crawford has been wanted for months on criminal charges ranging from drunken driving to assault. Crawford was recently featured on a “Most Wanted Fugitive” segment that runs on the local cable TV system.

Double-Faced Cat
A Suncoast, Florida, family said they were shocked when their cat gave birth to a kitten with two faces, a condition known as diprosopus. Nash Hand and his wife, Amanda Forsythe, said their cat, Nene, gave birth Monday and they were shocked to see the kitten had two faces, a condition that earns such felines the nickname Janus cat, after the Roman god with two faces. The couple said they named the cat Harvey Dent, after the “Batman” villain Two-Face. “They simultaneously work together, the two faces. When he eats on one side it looks like he is eating on the other. When he meows it comes out of both sides,” Forsythe said. Dr. Greg Fluharty with the Animal Clinic in Port Charlotte said he examined the feline and he appears healthy. Harvey has an appointment this week with a vet neurologist to conduct further tests.

Man Plans 50 Fights In One Night
A New Jersey karate instructor said he will celebrate his 50th birthday by fighting 50 different people in one night to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Brian Digore, an instructor at Okinawa Kenpo Karate in Pitman and a former Marine, said he will fight 50 people for 90 seconds at a time in boxing and mixed martial arts matches to raise funds for the charity on his birthday, February 11th. Tickets for the event will cost between $10 and $50.

Gorilla To Predict Super Bowl Winner
Officials at Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo said their star gorilla, Little Joe, will be asked today to predict the outcome of the Super Bowl. The zookeepers said Little Joe, whose 19th birthday party is scheduled for the same day as the big game, will be given two boxes Friday, one labeled for the New York Giants and one labeled for the New England Patriots. “We know his heart lies with his family at Franklin Park Zoo, so we’ve got a feeling his pick will make us proud,” the zoo said on its website. Zookeepers said Little Joe, who is considered one of the facility’s smartest animals, will then be treated to a Super Bowl-themed birthday party Sunday with special treats for him and his gorilla friends.

Update: Obama’s Old Car Fails To Sell On eBay
A gray 2005 Chrysler 300C leased by Barack Obama in 2004 failed to sell for the asking price of $1 million on eBay, the Chicago-area seller said. Lisa Czibor, the eBay seller working on behalf of owner Tim O’Boyle, said the $1 million asking price may have been too high for bidders, and the auction ended Wednesday without any bids meeting the minimum. “We’re trying to talk him into rerunning it now and making some changes to (the listing),” Czibor said. “Lowering the price and contacting Obama to find out if there’s a charity he’d like us to donate some of the profits to. In the end, it’s (O’Boyle’s) car. It’s up to him.” The description in the auction said Obama leased the car in 2004, when he was still an Illinois state senator, and he traded it in for a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid while running for president.

Two Beers Cost $2,550
An Indiana family said they were shocked when their credit card statement said a pair of beers they bought at a convention cost $1,497.50 each. The family, who asked not to be named, said the beers at the NFL Experience concession stand at the Indiana Convention Center January 28th were supposed to cost a total $14, but they later found their credit card had instead been charged $2,995. The convention center’s concession manager, Centerplate, issued a statement saying officials are working to correct the overcharge. The company said such problems are rare.

STOP THE PRESSES! Student Goes 90 Days Without Cell Phone
A Chicago student who spent 90 days abstaining from cell phones and social media said the first two weeks were “anxiety-ridden.” Jake Reilly, 24, a student at the advertising and design-focused Chicago Portfolio School, said he was originally only going to give up his phone, but he decided to expand it to all social media when he realized his communication would just migrate to other forms of technology. Reilly said the first two weeks of his project, which he began in October, were “anxiety-ridden.” “All of a sudden, you get home on a Friday night and there’s no one around and it’s just you and your thoughts,” he said. “Very scary.” Reilly said he soon found staying away from cell phones and Facebook increased his face-to-face interactions and made him more active. “I rode my bike all over the city,” he said. “I made collages. I did puzzles. I did all these things that I normally never would have considered. And you know what, I loved all that.”

Pork Spill
A tractor-trailer carrying pork products collided with a box truck in Virginia, spilling about 20 tons of frozen pork onto U.S. Highway 13. The crash happened around 4 a.m. yesterday near Machipongo, Virginia. One person was taken to a hospital, while crews worked to clean up about 41,000 pounds of frozen pork, Virginia State Police said. The rig went around a curve, jackknifed and then went across the median about the same time that a box truck was heading south. The driver of the box truck swerved and hit the trailer of the rig head-on, causing debris to fly across the road along with the pork from the tractor-trailer. The tractor-trailer driver was charged with failure to maintain a lane of travel. All lanes of U.S. 13 were closed until 11 a.m. while crews were cleaning up the bacon and other debris.

$1 Million Lottery Winner Won’t Quit Waitress Job
A 21-year-old Florida waitress has no plans to quit her day job after winning a $1 million lottery prize. “No way,” Alexandra Chaar told Florida Lottery officials on Wednesday. “I love where I work.” Chaar, who works at a Mexican restaurant in Clearwater Beach, Florida, said she bought her ticket in the state’s $1 million Monopoly Scratch-Off Game at a local food mart. Chaar chose the one-time, lump-sum payment for her winnings in the amount of $700,000. Chaar told lottery officials she was a straight-A student at St. Petersburg College and planned to use the money to pay for college. Until then, she’ll keep working for tips.

Man Shot For Singing A Country Song
A California man is facing charges after allegedly shooting his son because he didn’t like his karaoke singing. Police say it started with a heated argument between 70-year-old William Oller Sr. and his 50-year-old son, William Oller Jr. The father allegedly asked his son to stop singing, and when he didn’t he told him “I’m going to shut you up.” Police say that’s when he walked to his truck to find his handgun and opened fire on his son, grazing him with five bullets, with a sixth still lodged in the would-be singer’s shoulder. Oller, Jr. is recovering and says that he doesn’t have “total movement” back in his shoulder, but expects that he will. Oller Jr. said he couldn’t recall what song he’d been singing that led to the argument, but believed it was a Kenny Chesney tune. Oller Sr. was arrested last Thursday. He pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges on Tuesday.

Hunter Treated For Rabies After Field-Dressing Rabid Deer
Pennsylvania game officials say a hunter has received rabies shots after he field-dressed a deer that tested positive for rabies. The Game Commission said the hunter from Manheim in Lancaster County had scratches on his hands and had field-dressed the deer without using gloves. The deer had been standing in a creek, growling when the hunter shot it on January 20th in Chester County’s Valley Township, outside Philadelphia. Officials say hunters and trappers shouldn’t take animals that appear sick, and they recommend wearing rubber or latex gloves when field-dressing any mammal.

Piggyback Attacks

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A 250-pound man with a history of jumping on the backs of student athletes in the Pacific Northwest has pleaded guilty to assault.

The Independent Record reports 28-year-old Sherwin Shayegan acknowledged in court Wednesday that he hopped on two players at a soccer tournament in Helena in October. He pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of assault.

Last spring, the Oregon School Activities Association warned athletes to look out for Shayegan after he turned up at events in Eugene and Pendleton and got piggyback rides from some athletes. Police in Bonney Lake, Wash., say he gave money to an athlete and jumped on his back.

Judge Bob Wood gave him a 360-day suspended jail sentence, fined him $730 and told him to "go back to Seattle and behave."

Bucket List-Police Chase

BUTTE, Mont. (AP) — A 55-year-old Montana man who says he "always wanted" to be part of a police chase can check that off his bucket list.

The Montana Standard reports John C. Hughes followed a patrol car for seven blocks early Thursday before pulling his SUV around and taking off at speeds of up to 70 mph. Officers say the Butte man was driving faster than 100 mph on an interstate toward Rocker, Mont.

Officers in that city laid out a spiked strip to flatten the tires on the SUV.

A police report says Hughes told officers he "just always wanted" to see what it would be like to be in a police chase. Officers say Hughes had not been drinking.

Hughes faces a charge of reckless driving while eluding police.

8:10 The role men play inside the home has certainly started to evolve compared to 30 years ago, and most men seem to be stepping up to help with household chores. But is it enough and are they given credit for their efforts by their female counterparts? Apparently not. The makers of Scrubbing Bubbles have released the second annual Dirty Work Index survey and found when it comes to cleaning, women still play the dominant role and may not be ready to share the spotlight even though they want more help. The down and dirty facts:
• When it comes to cleaning, women think they do it all. In fact, 58% of women say it’s their “job” to clean, and 25% of all women feel as if they’re the cleaning “leader” in their homes.
• More than half of women said they want more help from their partner or spouse, but 38% don’t trust them to meet their standards of cleanliness.
• 45% of men say it’s their job to clean and contribute to the household. More surprisingly, nearly 75% of men claim to clean to make their spouse or partner happy – demonstrating they do care about helping out and are picking up the slack.
