AP NewsMinute 12:55 p.m. CST - Most-watched program...Recall coming...No more missing

NEW YORK (AP) - It's not just the most-watched Super Bowl ever
-- it had more viewers than any program in television history. The
Nielsen Company today is estimating that 106.5 million people
watched the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts last
night. That tops the previous viewing record of just under 106
million for the final episode of "M-A-S-H."

TOKYO (AP) - A new Toyota recall is reportedly in the works.
Japan's Kyodo News Agency says the company plans to recall about
300,000 Prius hybrids around the world because of a brake problem.
The report says Toyota will probably notify the U.S. and Japanese
governments tomorrow. The recall will reportedly involve the latest
version of the car, which was sold starting in May of last year.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans are giving a chilly reception to a
suggestion from President Barack Obama for a televised, bipartisan
chat about health care later this month. The top Republican on a
House oversight panel, Darrell Issa, says the first question he'd
like to ask Obama is, "Did you lie about moving forward on
malpractice reform?" Obama's invitation comes amid complaints that
Democrats have been too partisan and too secretive on health care.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - It's looking like the snowiest winter on
record for Philadelphia. Another huge snowstorm is expected to
smack the area this week, bringing 12 to 18 inches. That's on top
of more than 28 inches that fell on the city over the weekend. Just
9 inches would make this winter the snowiest since Philadelphia
started keeping records in 1884.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (AP) - It's still not safe for crews to go
back into the rubble of a power plant in Connecticut where an
explosion left five workers dead yesterday. But officials now say
everyone is accounted for, and they don't believe any additional
victims will be found.
