Report: Iranian students protest UN nuclear team (AP)

TEHRAN, Iran ? Iranian students staged a silent gathering Tuesday to protest a visit by U.N. nuclear inspectors on their first visit in two years, the semiofficial Isna news agency reported.

The report said a group of students gathered at the gate of the country's atomic agency. It did not say how many participated in the brief protest.

The findings from the visit could influence Western efforts to enact further sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program. The U.S. and its allies charge that Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons by using its uranium enrichment facilities to produce weapons-grade material.

Iran has declined to abandon its enrichment labs, saying it seeks to operate the reactors only for energy and medical purposes.

The demonstrating students said they're worried the visit would lead to assassination of Iranian nuclear experts.

They charged that U.S. and Israeli agents used information leaked by the U.N. agency to target Iranian nuclear scientists.

On Sunday about a dozen Iranian hard-liners carrying pictures of slain nuclear expert Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan gathered at Tehran airport to protest the visit. Roshan was killed by blast earlier in this month.

Also Tuesday, Mohammad Karamirad, a member of the influential parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy, told Isna that the visit by the three-member International Atomic Energy Agency team showed Iran has had "comprehensive and honest cooperation with the agency."

Karamirad said, "The visit can be beginning of new round of talks with the West, and it proves the peacefulness of Iran's nuclear activities."

Iran has been trying to display cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency team and downplay expectations of a confrontational atmosphere during the three-day visit that began Sunday.

On Monday, Iran indicated the visit could be extended if necessary. There was no word on whether the team would stay past Tuesday, the third day of the mission.

Newt Gingrich Calls Mitt Romney Pathetic, Vows to Fight on After Florida Primary


As Florida Republican voters head to the polls, Newt Gingrich is already playing defense and lowering expectations while vowing to fight on against Mitt Romney.

Though he cited recent surveys showing him in the hunt in today's primary and said “I think we absolutely can win,” Gingrich seemed resigned to defeat.

He made reference to Romney’s well-financed barrage of attack ads that have blanketed the airwaves and said that Mitt is running “pathetic” campaign.

Newt and Mitt Pic

“You want to know where all the ads came from that you’ve been watching for the last few weeks? That’s your money recycled through Goldman Sachs to Mitt Romney to tell you a bunch of falsehoods, and I don’t use that word lightly,” he said.

“I don’t think you should run for president unless you tell the truth.”

Gingrich noted that the Wall Street Journal and National Review described Romney’s ads against him as false, and questioned the former governor’s character.

“What a pathetic situation to be running for President of the United States ... with nothing positive to say for yourself,” he said. “All you’ve got to do is to try to tear your opponents down so they get to be smaller than you are. That’s the Romney model.”

Still, Newt appears to be missing a bit of the energetic punch that placed an exclamation point on his rallies following his win in South Carolina 10 days ago.

Despite an electoral map that may become even more challenging for him after the Florida primary, though, Gingrich appears to be in no hurry to quit.

After vowing over the weekend to continue his campaign until the Republican convention in Tampa, he's upped his criticism of Romney if anything.

“I’m a genuine conservative, and I actually study these things,” Gingrich said in Fort Myers. “I’m going to be upfront. I’m not a manager, I’m a leader.”

The campaign of Ron Paul has also said it aims to press on long enough to amass a stable of delegates to require some negotiation during the convention.

Both candidates hope, if they cannot win themselves, to prevent Romney from winning a majority of delegates - forcing the convention to pick a nominee.

The idea of a brokered convention remains a remote possibility, and whether Gingrich and Paul can actually make good on their goals is unclear.

Still, don't expect this presidential nomination fight to end with a Romney coronation today, despite what certain media outlets will have you believe.

(AP) ? Vowing to avoid "another Libya," the U.S. and its allies challenged Russia on Tuesday to overcome its opposition to a U.N. draft resolution demanding that Syrian President Bashar Assad yield power and end the violence that has killed thousands.

"It is time for the international community to put aside our own differences and send a clear message of support to the people of Syria," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told the U.N. Security Council in backing an Arab League plan for the country.

Russia, one of Assad's strongest allies, has signaled it would veto any U.N. action against Damascus, fearing it could open the door to eventual international military involvement, the way an Arab-backed U.N. resolution led to NATO airstrikes in Libya.

But Clinton said U.N. action in Syria would not involve military intervention, unlike the NATO-led efforts that resulted in the ouster of Moammar Gadhafi.

"I know that some members here may be concerned that the Security Council is headed toward another Libya," Clinton said. "That is a false analogy."

The top diplomats from Britain, France and Arab League pressed the same point: The objective of the draft resolution was not military involvement and a continued delay would come at the cost of the lives of innocent civilians.

"We all have a choice: Stand with the people of Syria and the region or become complicit in the continuing violence there," Clinton told council members.

"Despite its ruthless tactics, the Assad regime's reign of terror will end and the people of Syria will have the chance to chart their own destiny," she said. "The question for us is: How many more innocent civilians will die before this country is able to move forward toward the kind of future it deserves?"

The diplomatic showdown came as Syrian government forces took back control of the eastern suburbs of the capital, Damascus, after rebel soldiers briefly captured the area in a startling advance last week. The two-day offensive left more than 100 people dead, making it among the bloodiest days since the uprising began in March, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees, an opposition group.

The U.N. estimated several weeks ago that more than 5,400 people have been killed in the Syrian government crackdown, but has not been able to update the figure.

Russia has stood by Assad as he tries to crush the uprising. In October, Moscow vetoed the first Security Council attempt to condemn Syria's crackdown and has shown little sign of budging in its opposition.

Moscow's stance is motivated in part by its strategic and defense ties, including weapons sales, with Syria. Russia also rejects what it sees as a world order dominated by the U.S.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that Moscow "would never allow the Security Council to authorize anything similar to what happened in Libya."

Saying the U.N. should not choose sides, Lavrov told the ABC that all parties should cease violence and engage in dialogue. Russia "would not support anything that would be imposed on Syria," he said.

"The Western draft Security Council resolution on Syria does not lead to a search for compromise," Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov wrote Tuesday on Twitter. "Pushing this resolution is a path to civil war."

Still, Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin indicated in his address to the council that agreement could still be reached with more negotiation. He said his country found "some of the elements of our text" in the current draft, "and that gives rise for hope."

An earlier proposal on Syria circulated by Russia had been rejected by some Western and Arab nations for not being strong enough. "We hope the council will come to consensus," Churkin said.

Clinton suggested that more negotiation on the text was necessary before a vote later in the week. "We will have a concerted effort over the next days to reach agreement in the Security Council to put forth a resolution that sends a message to President Assad and his regime," she told reporters.

Earlier in the session, the Arab League made a rare call to the council to condemn violence in a fellow Arab country, and adopt its peace plan.

Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby told the council that the league wanted the Security Council to act "to support our initiative and not to take its place."

"We are attempting to avoid any foreign intervention, particularly military intervention" in Syria, he said. "We have always stressed full respect of the security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian people."

British Foreign Minister William Hague called for speedy action.

"How long do Syrian families have to live in fear that their children will be killed or tortured, before the Security Council will act?" Hague asked. "How many people need to die before the consciences of world capitals are stirred?"

In its current form, the resolution demands that Assad halt the crackdown and implement an Arab League peace plan calling for him to hand over power to his vice president. If Assad fails to comply within 15 days, the council would consider "further measures," a reference to a possible move to impose economic or other sanctions.

In his response, Syria's U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari lashed out at the league, accusing it of acting without consulting the Syrian leadership."How strange it is for us to see some members of the League of Arab States seeking the support of the Security Council against Syria," Ja'afari said. He noted that the Security Council often has voted in support of Israel against Arab-backed measures.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Tuesday at a news conference in Amman, Jordan, that he was "encouraged by the League of Arab States' initiative to seek a political solution" to the Syrian crisis.

"It is more urgent than ever to put an end to this bloodshed and violence, to start a credible political solution that addresses the legitimate aspiration of the Syrian people and to protect their fundamental freedoms," Ban said.

Koss revamps Porta Pro headphones with iPhone remote, intros 'interlocking' earbuds

We're baffled that we missed this gem of news during the bustle of CES, but it turns out that Koss has recently announced a new version of its iconic Porta Pro headphones. The Porta Pro KTC (Koss Touch Control), as it's dubbed, is essentially the same piece of retro kit that's been delighting ears and keeping wallets chubby for nearly three decades. The KTC bit in its name refers to the inclusion of an iDevice-certified inline remote / mic, aimed at keeping on-the-go users in sync with their playlists and phone calls. If you prefer earbuds, but hate tangled cords, then the company's interlocking intra-aurals might be to your liking. This lineup features in-ears which snap into each other for easier storage. You'll have a choice between the IL-100 and 200, the latter of which distinguishes itself with the mere addition of an inline remote for iPhones. While there's no word on pricing just yet for any of the aforementioned units, Koss aims to begin shipping the new audio-wares once spring is in full bloom. For now, you'll find the press releases and a render of the 'buds after the break.

ClockworkMod developer teases touch-based recovery

ClockworkMod developer Koushik Dutta has shown off some early progress in bringing touchscreen functionality to his popular custom recovery image for Android. In a video posted on his Google+ page, Koush demonstrates the ability to navigate through menus using touch, rather than the regular volume rocker/power button combo required by current ClockworkMod builds.

A custom recovery image is an important tool for anyone wanting to use custom firmware on their Android device, so it's great to see advanced functionality like touch headed to a popular recovery like CWM.

This isn't the first time we've seen early implementations of touch support in custom recoveries, though. Previous efforts have included an unofficial version of ClockworkMod for the Galaxy Nexus, which uses on-screen keys instead of old-fashioned clicky buttons. The important difference with Koush's implementation is that it allows you to touch and scroll anywhere on the screen to select the item you want, just like when you're browsing through menus in Android.

The developer points out that the version shown in the video is still a "rough cut", with plenty of work yet to be done. But based on what we've seen in the video, things are already looking very promising.

For Super Bowl ads, it's the year of social media

Keeping a spot secret used to be rule No. 1 for Super Bowl advertisers. Now companies are falling over themselves to get them out on YouTube or as part of online contests, like Volkswagen has done this year.

By Martha C. White

The Super Bowl has always been a social event, but during this year's battle pitting the New York Giants against the New England Patriots, getting social will happen on screens and the sofa.

Analysts say this year is a turning point for social media's incorporation into the biggest mass-media event of the year, and advertisers are taking note.?

"The trend in social media with the Super Bowl has been building over the past two or three years," said Tim Calkins, professor of marketing at Northwestern University. "This year, we're really seeing it go to a totally new level where marketers are making social networking a core part of their Super Bowl efforts."?

Glen Gilmore, a social media strategist and professor of digital marketing at Rutgers University, said companies have begun to realize that social networks aren't just for kids anymore. "There's a recognition among big businesses that social media is the new marketplace that they've got to be part of the conversation."?

Last year, 111 million people watched the Super Bowl, according to Nielsen Companies, making it the most-watched TV event ever, and breaking the audience record set the year before by the 2010 Super Bowl. Advertisers pay heavily for the privilege of reaching all those eyeballs, to the tune of $3.5 million for a 30-second slot.?

For that kind of cash, many companies have decided to eschew the longstanding practice of keeping a new commercial under wraps until its big reveal during the game. Instead, big advertisers like Frito Lay and Volkswagen view the commercial itself as the culmination to an entire campaign of anticipation. "For many marketers, it's really a month-long event," Calkins said.?

To extend the life of their $3.5 million investment, companies build excitement by running teaser clips either on TV or on the Internet that allude to or provide a sneak peek to the commercial. Automaker Volkswagen has already rolled out a minute-long clip of a canine chorus barking music from "Star Wars."

Some advertisers run the actual commercial ahead of time, but some marketing professionals say that can diminish its impact. "This year there seems to be more tendency to release the ads a week early. This is kind of a risky tactic to us," said Peter Daboll, CEO of Ace Metrix, a company that measures ad effectiveness. "With such a large audience watching the game, there's a certain surprise appeal."

Another way advertisers create pre-game day buzz is to create interactive elements, such as soliciting user-generated content or inviting people to vote on some element of the campaign. "Traditional advertising was just a one-way broadcast tool," said Mitch Germann, vice president at Edelman Digital. "These efforts are a two-way conversation." Frito Lay, which advertises its Doritos brand of tortilla chips during the game, has combined the two by asking website visitors to vote on which user-produced video will run in the commercial spot.?

Sporting events are a perfect fit for interactivity and social media, according to Germann.

"Sports fans in general just love to talk. They love to talk about the game, their favorite teams and players," he said. "They love to brag and social media provides such a great platform to allow them to have those conversations in real time."?

When Denver Broncos' quarterback Tim Tebow threw a game-winning touchdown a few weeks ago, Germann said there were 9,000 Tweets per second about the play. "Social media has become a natural for sports? from a statistics perspective," he said.?Advertisers want that constant chatter, since it increases the likelihood that their commercial will get talked about not only during, but after the game.?

Ads with a twist at the end or that are humorous prompt people to share them with others, according to Jonah Berger, assistant marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. "Things that violate our expectations, or are novel or surprising in some way are going to be shared," he said.?

The action on the field itself can contribute to a state of mind that makes people more likely to post, share or tweet. "The situation itself can evoke high arousal, which can lead people to share all types of things," Berger said. "If the game is suspenseful and if people are on the edge of their seats, they're more likely to share anything."

But social media, for all its benefits, isn't without pitfalls. "I think the challenge we hear most often is that they lose control of the message when they open themselves up," Germann said. "When they put the conversation in the hands of the viewers or audience, you never know what they're going to say."

While smart companies prepare talking points and replies in advance, the fallout from an ill-conceived commercial can be magnified by the extended conversation that takes place on Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms.?"There are definitely boundaries within the social space, and businesses at times mistake the fun and entertainment of social media for a license to ignore social boundaries," Gilmore said.?

"In most cases, when a company gets into trouble, they were deliberately trying to shock people," Calkins said. "Shocking people isn't the best approach on the Super Bowl. Surprise is nice, but shock is a dangerous place to go."

The game is Feb. 5.

Memorial service to cap 3-day mourning for Paterno (AP)

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. ? A capacity crowd of 12,000 filed into Penn State's basketball arena Thursday for the school's final tribute to Joe Paterno.

Among those finding their seats as video boards flashed a smiling image of the coach ? Paterno's last team and new Ohio State coach Urban Meyer.

Paterno's death on Sunday from lung cancer at age 85 came less than three months after his stunning ouster as head coach in the wake of child sex-abuse charges against a retired assistant. But this week, thousands of alumni, fans, students and former players in Happy Valley are remembering Paterno for his record-setting career, his love for the school and his generosity.

Small clusters of mourners continued to visit Paterno's statue outside the school's football stadium hours before the memorial.

Sharon Winter, a 1963 graduate and long-time season ticket holder from Wernersville, dabbed tears from her eyes as she looked at the hundreds of items that well-wishers since Paterno's death.

"If you haven't lived it, you can't explain it," said Winter, who, with her husband Carl, keeps an apartment in State College. "We never knew the place without Joe. He's always been a part of our lives and who we are."

Many Penn Staters found themselves reflecting on Paterno's impact and the road ahead.

"What's Joe's legacy? The answer, is his legacy is us," former NFL and Nittany Lions receiver Jimmy Cefalo said Wednesday before Paterno's funeral. Cefalo is scheduled to be one of the speakers at the tribute called "A Memorial for Joe" at the arena across the street from Beaver Stadium ? the place Paterno helped turned into a college football landmark.

Paterno's son, former Nittany Lions quarterback coach Jay Paterno, also is expected to speak at the memorial, which will cap three days of public mourning for Paterno. Viewings were held Tuesday and Wednesday morning, before the funeral and burial service for Paterno on Wednesday afternoon at the campus interfaith center where family members attended church services.

Cefalo, who played for Penn State in the `70s, said it will be the most difficult speech of his life. But he offered a hint of what he might say.

"Generations of these young people from coal mines and steel towns who he gave a foundation to," Cefalo said. "It's not (the Division I record) 409 wins, it's not two national championships, and it's not five-time coach of the year (awards). It's us."

The memorial Thursday is expected to feature a speaker for each decade of Paterno's coaching career, according to Charles V. Pittman, a former player who said he will represent the 1960s.

Pittman said he was in Paterno's first class and was the coach's first All-America running back. Pittman's son later played for the Nittany Lions as well, making them the first father-son pair to play for Paterno, Pittman said. They wrote a book about their experiences called "Playing for Paterno."

Pittman said he spoke with Paterno two or three times a year. In 2002, the coach chided Pittman for moving to South Bend, Ind. ? home of rival Notre Dame ? to take a job as a newspaper executive.

"He called me a traitor," said Pittman, senior vice president for publishing at Schurz Communications Inc., an Indiana-based company that owns television and radio stations and newspapers, and a member of the Board of Directors of The Associated Press.

Pittman attended Wednesday's funeral, which also drew other notable guests including former NFL players Franco Harris and Matt Millen; and former defensive coordinator Tom Bradley. All were at Thursday's event, too.

See any trend emerging here? Yes, we agree that Google's phones are getting hotter with each generation, but that's not the answer we're looking for. Here's a hint: if you examine the above image really closely, you might also discover a progression toward larger handsets. In all seriousness, the above comparison was generated by phone-size.com, a website that's quite useful to study the relative proportions of different smartphones. But wait, it gets even better. At the top of the webpage, you'll also find a toolbar to plug in the size and aspect ratio of your display. Once you jump through this minor hoop, the utility produces accurate, life-size depictions of the smartphones -- go ahead and hold your slab up to the screen, it really works.
