A political tip sheet for the rest of us outside the Washington Beltway, Friday, March 31:

WHAT HAPPENED:

GINGRICH TURNAROUND: Newt Gingrich acknowledged what has become increasingly clear: Mitt Romney is the likely GOP presidential nominee. The former House speaker told Milwaukee radio station WTMJ that he thinks Romney "is clearly the front-runner" and "will probably" get the 1,144 convention delegates he needs to win. Still, Gingrich has refused to leave the race, despite letting go a third of his staff and curtailing his campaign appearances. He said earlier this week that he would continue to campaign until Romney gets those delegates.

RYAN FOR ROMNEY: It's been a good week of endorsements for Romney. The latest GOP figure to endorse him this week is Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee. Ryan announced his endorsement days before Wisconsin Republicans vote in their state's primary, saying he's convinced that Romney "has the skills, the tenacity and the courage" to lead the party in the race against Obama. Ryan's public show of support follows endorsements from former President George H.W. Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Utah Sen. Mike Lee. Ryan campaigned with Romney in Wisconsin on Friday. They've scheduled additional joint appearances in the state for Saturday.

GAY MARRIAGE JAM: President Barack Obama could find himself in an election-year bind on gay marriage, pressured by supporters who want him to come out for same-sex marriage but fearful of the political perils of igniting an explosive social issue during the campaign. Gay rights advocates and people close to the president suggest it's no longer a question of if, but rather a question of when Obama will have his own coming out. He has said his views on gay marriage are "evolving."

ROMNEY: Romney once again defended his personal wealth, which has come under renewed attack from Democrats trying to portray him as out of touch with most people. Romney is a former businessman worth up to $250 million who would be among the richest U.S. presidents, if elected. He told a campaign audience in Wisconsin that continued attacks on success would have one outcome ? "a lot less success." Obama's re-election campaign is pushing Romney to release many years of income tax returns dating to his career at the Boston-based private equity firm that helped him become wealthy. Romney's opponents for the GOP nomination, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, have also talked about his difficulty "connecting" and have pressed to see a more complete set of his tax returns.

SANTORUM: Santorum says Republicans won't win the presidency by nominating a candidate who jokes about firing people. Santorum was referring to Romney's joke this week in Wisconsin about his father George, the former chairman of American Motors, who closed a factory in Michigan and moved production to Wisconsin. Santorum suggested the quip is more evidence that Romney doesn't understand working people's struggles.

GINGRICH-THEN AND NOW:

Gingrich's comment that Romney "is clearly the front-runner" represented a turnaround from his comments after Romney's third-place finishes in the nominating contests in Alabama and Mississippi on March 13.

? Then: "If you're the front-runner and you keep coming in third, you're not much of a front-runner." ? March 13, following Romney's third-place finishes in primaries in Alabama and Mississippi.

? Now: "I think Mitt Romney is clearly the front-runner." ? Friday, to Milwaukee radio station WTMJ.

BY THE NUMBERS:

How the race for the Republican presidential nomination stands among likely Republican primary voters in Wisconsin, according to the latest NBC News/Marist Poll, conducted this week.

? 40 percent, Romney

? 33 percent, Santorum

? 11 percent, Ron Paul

? 8 percent, New Gingrich

? 7 percent, undecided.

BARACK'S BUCKS:

Obama spoke at four campaign events, two in Burlington, Vt., and two in Portland, Maine. They were his final fundraisers before Saturday's monthly and quarterly campaign fundraising deadline. He raised $45 million in February.

? $7,500: Starting ticket price for fundraising luncheon with about 100 supporters at the Sheraton Burlington.

? $44: Student ticket price for University of Vermont event with about 4,500 supporters.

? $100: General admission for university event.

? $44: Student ticket price for Southern Maine Community College event with about 1,800 supporters.

? $5,000: Starting ticket price for fundraising dinner at Portland Museum of Art with about 130 supporters.

WHERE THEY'LL BE SATURDAY:

? Gingrich: Wisconsin

? Romney: Wisconsin

? Santorum: Wisconsin

IN THEIR WORDS:

? "I loved cars and I was very tempted to stay in Michigan and go into the car business as he had, but I knew I would always wonder if any success I had was due to my father." ? Romney.

? "We need someone who can talk and relate to folks battling in this economy ... not someone talking about being a CEO of a company and making jokes about firing people." ? Santorum.

? "Everybody needs to understand that whichever one of the three of us ends up being nominated, the others would support." ? Gingrich.

? "My determination is undiminished. My confidence in the core decency of the American people is undiminished. I believe we're on the right track." ? Obama.

Children at Afghan massacre: Bales not alone

Spc. Ryan Hallock/Dvids/ Handout / EPA

U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, pictured here at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California in August 2011, has been charged with 17 counts of murder in the deaths of 17 Afghan villagers.

By msnbc.com staff

Here are two versions of what happened the night of March 11, when 17 Afghan villagers were shot to death.

First, the Army version: Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, troubled by marriage woes, drunkenly left Camp Belambai, 12 miles from Kandahar, with a pistol and an automatic rifle and killed six people as they slept. Bales then returned to the base and left again for another village, this time killing 11. He acted alone and he admitted to the killings, according to the Army.

Then there is the account that child witnesses provided Yalda Hakim, a journalist for SBS Dateline in Australia. Hakim, who was born in Afghanistan and immigrated to Australia as a child, is the first international journalist to interview the surviving witnesses. She said American investigators tried to prevent her from interviewing the children, saying her questions could traumatize them. She said she appealed to village leaders, who arranged for her to interview the witnesses.

Watch the SBS Dateline video "US alerted over Bales behaviour"


In the video, the children told Hakim that other Americans were present during the rampage, holding flashlights in the yard.

Noorbinak, 8, told Hakim that the shooter first shot her father?s dog. Then, Noorbinak said in the video, he shot her father in the foot and dragged her mother by the hair. When her father started screaming, he shot her father, the child says. Then he turned the gun on Noorbinak and shot her in the leg.?

?One man entered the room and the others were standing in the yard, holding lights,? Noorbinak said in the video.

A brother of one victim told Hakim that his brother?s children mentioned more than one soldier wearing a headlamp. They also had lights at the end of their guns, he said.

?They don?t know whether there were 15 or 20, however many there were,? he said in the video.

Army officials have repeatedly denied that others were involved in the massacre, emphasizing that Bales acted alone.

Obama: Afghan shooting rampage was work of lone gunman?

Bales, who was flown to a maximum-security military prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., was charged last week with 17 counts of murder and six attempts of attempted murder.

Staff Sgt. Bales charged with 17 counts of murder in Afghanistan massacre?

The massacre came several days after a roadside bomb attack that cost one soldier his leg. Village residents told reporters and Afghan government officials that after the roadside bomb attack, U.S. troops lined up men from the village against a wall and told them they would pay a price. The Pentagon has denied those allegations. ?

Pentagon: No evidence that Afghan massacre was a retaliation

Gen. Karimi, assigned by Afghan President Hamid Karzai to investigate the murders, told Hakim that he, too, wonders whether Bales acted alone and how he could left the base without notice.

?Village elders said several soldiers took part and that there is boot prints in the area,? Karimi told Hakim. He said villagers told him that they saw three or four individuals kneeling and that helicopters were overhead during the rampage.

?To search for him?? Karimi said he asked them.

?No,? he said they told him. ?They were there from the very beginning.?

Also, there is no way we can leave out at least a few important words about create domain name because it is intertwined with the former.

(AP) ? Tebowmania's headed to New York, and the drama has already started for Jets fans.

It began the moment the Jets pulled off the deal for the Broncos quarterback. Or thought they did.

Eight hours and one huge snag later, the trade was on again. But not before the Jets added to the franchise's already lengthy list of embarrassing moments.

Sure, Tebowmania is coming to New York, but it certainly wasn't a smooth deal. And it didn't come without some controversy ? something this Jets season could be filled with the moment Mark Sanchez struggles and restless fans call for Tebow to replace him.

"Mark Sanchez is, has been and will be our starting quarterback," general manager Mike Tannenbaum said on conference call late Wednesday night.

But the Jets have opened themselves ? and Sanchez ? to added pressure by bringing in Tebow. New York recently signed Sanchez to a three-year contract extension after falling out of the hunt for Peyton Manning, a vote of confidence for a quarterback whose pride took a serious shot at the end of last season as the Jets finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs. Some players questioned his leadership abilities, but Sanchez recently vowed to be the guy the franchise can lean on.

Turns out, Rex Ryan's Jets now have two of those guys, including one in Tebow who might automatically be the biggest star in New York right now. Not Sanchez. Not Derek Jeter. Not even Jeremy Lin.

"I'm just excited for him and to see what he does," Lin said in Philadelphia, where the Knicks beat the 76ers. "We'll see what happens next year."

Just a few weeks after "Linsanity" swept New York and the rest of the NBA, "Timsanity" now will take over New York after the Jets acquired the polarizing quarterback and a seventh-round draft pick from the Denver Broncos for fourth- and sixth-round picks.

Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath, who led the Jets to their only Super Bowl title in 1969, was among many who were unhappy about the deal.

"I'm just sorry that I can't agree with this situation. I think it's just a publicity stunt. I can't go with it. I think it's wrong," Namath told 1050 ESPN Radio on Wednesday. "I don't think they know what they're doing over there."

The trade was completed hours after the sides initially agreed to a deal, which was hung up when the Jets balked at repaying Denver more than $5 million for a salary advance due Tebow. The two sides agreed to split that cost, and Tannenbaum said the team was "comfortable with the compensation."

He said there was a disagreement about how to handle the salary advance after Denver received the papers.

"We knew what the contract was," he said. "We had read it. ... We felt it was one way; they felt it was another. Based on that, they were well within their rights to assess their different possibilities of what to do and their alternatives. And they did so throughout the day."

So the Jets waited and waited ? and looked as if they had botched the big deal.

Despite ultimately pulling off the trade, it's just another bizarre moment for the Jets, conjuring memories of Bill Belichick's hiring as coach and his resignation one day later.

"I'm thankful they stuck with me through this whole crazy process," Tebow said, repeating several times that he was "excited" to be a member of the Jets.

But the deal also raised questions about the Jets' commitment to Sanchez, who received a $40.5 million contract extension, with $20.5 million guaranteed, earlier this month. During a call late Wednesday night, Tannenbaum repeatedly referred to Sanchez as "our guy" and the team's unquestioned starting quarterback.

"We obviously know that Tim has a magnetic following," Tannenbaum said. "We understand the popularity of the backup quarterback, and this one is more unique than others."

Tebow said he had a "great conversation" on Wednesday with Sanchez, adding that they've been friends for several years. He said he's not here to take Sanchez's job, but to help him as a unique addition to the offense, someone who could run Tony Sparano's wildcat package ? and anything else they ask him to do.

"My goal is to push (Sanchez) to get better, and to push myself to get better every day," Tebow said. "But I think we'll have a great working relationship. We'll have a great relationship off the field, and we've had that the last few years. He's such a classy guy and handles himself so well, and I'll be very honored to call him my teammate."

Defensive end Mike DeVito is excited about the intangible qualities Tebow will offer.

"You've got a tough player on the field, a leader in the locker room and a guy who shares the faith that I share," DeVito said. "So, I'm very grateful to have him on our team, and I feel it's going to really benefit us as a whole."

But, like Namath, not everyone's a fan.

Cornerback Antonio Cromartie, took to Twitter on Wednesday to express his confidence in Sanchez and the offense as structured before the deal was finalized.

"Y bring Tebow in when we need to bring in more Weapons for (at)Mark_Sanchez," Cromartie tweeted. "Let's build the team around him. We already signed to 3 year ext."

The Jets signed Drew Stanton last week to be their No. 2 quarterback, ahead of Greg McElroy, the team's seventh-round draft pick last year. Tannenbaum said Tuesday that he was confident in the trio, but on Wednesday acknowledged that the team would assess that situation and that Tebow was Sanchez's clear backup.

Regardless, the Jets sure got the headlines and were the talk of sports radio ? even on a day when the New Orleans Saints received unprecedented punishment from the NFL for a bounty system that rocked the football world. Head coach Sean Payton was suspended without pay for next season, and former defensive coordinator Greg Williams, now with St. Louis, was banned indefinitely.

But even all that couldn't overshadow another embarrassing episode for a franchise that has had to explain away several missteps in recent years.

The Jets are hoping Tebow can help change all that.

He led the Broncos to the playoffs last season ? along the way beating Sanchez and the Jets, who missed the postseason. But Denver executive John Elway believed Manning gave the team a better chance at winning a championship now. For the Jets, Tebow adds a unique dimension to the offense.

"It is very clear: They want me to come in and compete and get better, and get better as a quarterback and to help the team any way possible," Tebow said. "Whatever that role is, I will do my best."

Tebow also provides a solid presence in a locker room that was rife with infighting last season ? particularly between Sanchez and wide receiver Santonio Holmes. He also brings with him a flock of fervent fans for reasons that have to do as much with his faith as his football skills. A devout Christian, he's been a role model since his days at Florida, when he led the Gators to two national titles and captured the Heisman Trophy.

Denver started shopping Tebow after signing Manning, and the Jets were considered a long shot as late as Tuesday night. But New York went hard after Tebow.

As part of Tebow's $11.25 million, five-year contract he signed as a rookie in 2010, he had a $6.277 million advance due 29 days after the start of the 2011 league year. That money was paid to him in August after the NFL lockout ended. The trade stalled over the payment the Jets would owe the Broncos from that advance.

That allowed Jacksonville to get back into the hunt, and it came down to the Jaguars and Jets.

"I think we have a duty to consider all avenues of improving the Jaguars on and off the field, especially given the unique circumstances involving the player," Jaguars owner Shahid Khan said in a statement. "I am very satisfied with the outcome."

Tebow said, contrary to some reports, he didn't have final say in where he was going.

"Ultimately, I really didn't have any because the Broncos had all that power," Tebow said, adding that Denver was "gracious" in the way it handled the process. "I was just kind of watching and waiting ? kind of like everybody else.

"It was an interesting day."

Ron Paul calls Secret Service protection ?welfare? during ?Tonight Show? appearance

Ron Paul is virtually absent from the campaign trail lately but he did manage to find time for an appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," Tuesday night.

During the lengthy chat, Paul made news on a few fronts. Most notably, Paul explained why he has rejected Secret Service protection, calling it "a form welfare." However, he did say his preferred name would be "Bulldog" if he ever did receive formal security detail by the government.

"I would go after the Federal Reserve and all that big spending," Paul told Leno. "I'm an ordinary citizen, and I think I should pay for my own protection."

Today it was announced that Paul's campaign rivals Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum had recently received their Secret Service code names, "Javelin" and "Petrus," respectively.

Paul also waded into the contraception debate that has dominated Republican primary politics lately. He admitted to having prescribed birth control during his years as an OB-GYN in Texas despite his pro-life political views.

"I was also putting myself out of business, all this birth control," Paul said. "They had less babies." Paul says he has delivered around 4,000 babies over the years. When asked if women should have the right to choose, Paul said yes, but flipped the question back to the broader debate over personal rights.

"Yeah, I think so she should, but does the infant have the right to choose?" Paul said. "The baby at eight months and weighs eight pounds?should you, the mother have the right to abort? I have not been able to accept that."

The interview had plenty of light moments as well. At one point, Leno showed a clip with Paul's head superimposed on the body of a martial arts fighter.

Some conspiracy theorists have speculated that Paul has made an under the table agreement with Mitt Romney to continue his campaign in order to take support away from Romney's rivals.

"It's very secret, because he and I don't know a whole lot about it," Paul joked.

Paul was in Los Angeles for a campaign fundraising event.

95% The Kid with a Bike

All Critics (60) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (57) | Rotten (3)

A wonderfully human and humane story about one of those lost-and-found children who tend to slip through society's not-so-safe safety nets.

Within its tight 87 minutes, not a lot happens, unless you count the saving of a life.

It's minor, but powerfully so.

As is usual in their films, the Dardennes remain both deeply interested and carefully objective. The photography and editing are unfussy and unhurried. There is no attempt to do anything but present these small fictions as simple fact.

A sly but finally banal update of the Italian neorealist classic "The Bicycle Thief."

A quietly rapturous film about love and redemption from Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne...

Belgian writer/director/producers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne capture with heartfelt verisimilitude a boy's misplaced determination to find a father figure.

Raw but compassionate, naturalistic but compelling. If you're looking to get into the Dardennes, this is a great place to start.

Their central characters are flawed, and often do awful things, but the Dardennnes' world view is entirely practical.

A tragic figure in the person of an eleven year old, but a boy who never gives up.

A richly textured and human drama brimming with warmth, tenderness and pure, unadulterated poignancy.

It's a quietly powerful film about redemption that works on multiple levels, thanks in part to its superb performances.

...when they (Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne) hit the mark they create understated but deeply moving dramas that are uniquely their own. 'The Kid with a Bike' is their latest effort and it is among their best.

In an act of grand thievery, debut child actor Thomas Doret makes off with The Kid With a Bike.

A lovingly understated film from masters of naturalistic cinema.

comes to its triumphs after tremendous internal struggles, unseen yet palpable at every moment.

continues the Belgian writing-directing brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's extraordinary run of charting the lives of European down-and-outers navigating difficult moral and spiritual terrain.

The Kid With A Bike feels like a companion piece to Rosetta, though it's far less severe and more open-hearted, even borderline sentimental.

Olympics to strain UK Internet infrastructure

(AP) ? As Usain Bolt races down the Olympic track, will London's Internet infrastructure be able to keep up?

Let's hope so.

Experts say the network should be able to cope ? but they warned of sluggishness during peak times and said an unexpected surge could easily push the system over the edge.

British Olympic Association chief executive Andy Hunt has predicted that the 2012 Olympics will be the "Twitter Games," and those responsible for London's network of fiber optic cables, phone masts and Wi-Fi hotspots are bracing for a data deluge as the events get under way.

"There is the potential for a massive hit on the infrastructure," James Blessing of Britain's Internet Service Providers Association said.

Mobile company Vodafone said it also expected a data tsunami, saying "this summer it's going to be the equivalent of England playing in the World Cup final on Christmas Day, every day for the 17 days of the games."

Network engineers face a one-two punch: One is the influx of smartphone-wielding spectators, many eagerly updating their Facebook status from the Olympic Stadium or keeping up with the medal tally on Twitter. The second is unprecedented flow of video being streamed live to the Internet by Britain's national broadcaster, the BBC.

The combination has the potential to snarl Internet traffic. Olympic planners have already told London businesses to prepare for sluggish service during the games or even interruptions "in very severe cases." Data rationing remains an option, even if those involved played down the possibility.

Nationally, one of the biggest contributors to the Internet surge is expected to be the BBC, which plans to provide live coverage from up to 24 locations besides its three main channels of edited content. The broadcaster predicts that the footage, streamed to computers across Britain, will help generate a terabit (1 trillion bits) per second of traffic at peak times ? the equivalent of 1,500 people downloading a feature-length DVD-quality movie every minute.

"It's between five and 10 times their normal output," Blessing said.

He said the unprecedented level of coverage was great news for workers caught behind a desk during the 100-meter dash. But it could be a major headache for an IT staff trying to manage the ADSL2+ connections used by many small businesses in London.

"The problem," Blessing warned, was the potential for "20 people to have 20 live streams on their computers. Twenty live streams at a 1 meg(abits per second) each ? that's your entire broadband capacity wiped out."

At the Olympic Park and other venues, the issue is one of concentration. Tens of thousands of athletes, organizers, media and police will be clamoring to make calls, share scores, file photographs and send footage in real time. The BT Group PLC estimates it will see the some 60 gigabits fired across the Olympic network every second, much of that bouncing back and forth between 94 different venues.

To that end, the company has deployed hundreds of staffers and laid thousands of kilometers (miles) of fiber optic cable ? in many cases "doubling up" so if one cable breaks, the other picks up the load. A purpose-built top-of-the-line Wi-Fi network ? supported by 1,800 access points ? will keep Olympic staff connected on the go.

Howard Dickel, who is in charge of BT's Olympic delivery program, said as many as 25 phone masts are being installed across the 500-acre park, part of what he described as mobile telephone companies' attempt to give the area "the maximum capacity that they can provide given the laws of physics."

Keeping Olympic Park spectators communicating might be tougher task. Organizers expect that at peak times around 250,000 visitors, many toting data-hungry smartphones, will be in and around the venue, which is two-thirds the size of Manhattan's Central Park. They won't have access to the Olympic Wi-Fi network, so squeezing out a celebratory tweet or an Instagram photo might prove a challenge, particularly at the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium.

Both Dickel and Blessing said outside the park much would depend on how well the British squad performed. If there were no surprises, the system would most likely handle the ebb and flow of extra data with little problem. But if a British athlete went for gold in an obscure sport, or if a pole vaulter failed spectacularly, or if some other world event intervened ? a terror attack, an earthquake, an Icelandic volcano ? then there might be an overload.

Internet service providers have spent the past year and a half bracing themselves. Dickel said BT had brought forward its planned 2.5 billion pound ($4 billion) investment upgrade program.

The chief operating officer of cell phone service provider O2 said his company had devoted 50 million pounds ($79 million) for Olympic-related projects. The Vodafone Group PLC, one of the world's largest mobile phone providers, said it was boosting coverage in public spaces ? such as London's central Hyde Park ? that are expected to see big crowds.

So far officials said they haven't felt the need to impose limits on how much data Londoners can use.

"Hopefully, no one will notice a thing," Blessing said. "We win if no one notices anything."

Muamba 'stable but critical' - hospital

Bolton Wanderers player Fabrice Muamba was in a stable but critical condition on Monday, two days after he suffered a cardiac arrest during a match, a statement from the hospital treating him said.

Muamba, 23, slumped onto the turf towards the end of the first half of an FA Cup quarter-final at Tottenham's White Hart Lane stadium in London on Saturday.

Millions of TV viewers saw medical staff attempting to resuscitate him as players, who were visibly shaken, looked on.

A statement issued on behalf of Bolton and the London Chest Hospital said: "Fabrice Muamba's heart condition is stable, but he remains critically ill in intensive care at The London Chest Hospital."

On Sunday night, the hospital had said Muamba was in a "critical condition".

His manager at Premier League club Bolton, Owen Coyle, spoke of the midfielder's "brave fight" after visiting Muamba at hospital on Monday.

Coyle said the player's family had been inundated with messages of support.

"They have been inundated as we all have, both in the football community globally and family and friends. People are taking a genuine interest and a real concern in how Fabrice is doing."

The plight of the player born in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo sparked a wave of support from his fellow Premier League players and football fans worldwide.

Teams led fans in a minute's applause before matches on Sunday while his former Bolton teammate, Gary Cahill, unveiled a t-shirt reading "Pray 4 Muamba" after he scored for his new club Chelsea.

Muamba's fiancee, Shauna Muamba, the mother to their three-year-old son Joshua, thanked fans on Twitter for their support.

"God is in control. Please keep afmuamba in ur prayers xx"

She later added: "Please keep praying for afmuamba its really helping I can feel it xx".

Following Muamba's on-field collapse, referee Howard Webb took the players off the field and then, with the agreement of both clubs, abandoned a tie where the score had stood at 1-1.

The incident has led Bolton to postpone their next match, a Premier League game away to Aston Villa due to take place on Tuesday.

But Bolton captain Kevin Davies said the prospect of fixture congestion was of no concern to him or his team-mates.

"Any of those questions are irrelevant at the minute," he said.

"The club will take a stance on it in the next couple of days. But at the minute we want to just try and help Fabrice."

Muamba was born in Kinshasa but came to England aged 11 to join up with his father, who had fled the country.

He started his football career as a schoolboy at Arsenal, whose manager Arsene Wenger said: "As a man, Fabrice has a positive attitude towards life, he is full of determination and has a great desire.

"When he was younger, he had massive players in front of him at Arsenal, but I felt he had reached the level to play in the Premier League, so we let him go and he has proved his quality.

"A football player always remains attached to where he was educated. Fabrice had his friends from childhood here and they remain your friends forever.

"We are all thinking of Fabrice, his family and everyone close to him."

As Muamba continued to fight for his life, experts said any recovery would depend on to what extent his brain had been starved of oxygen.

Amanda Varnava, a consultant cardiologist at St Mary's Hospital in London, called on Britain to follow Italy's example and screen all young athletes for genetic heart problems.

"The Italians have dropped the incidence by 90 percent," she told The Times. "It would be a good idea here.

"It's got to the point where 12 young people under the age of 35 (in the UK) die each week, which is an appalling tragedy."

The fact that seemingly fit young men could suffer cardiac problems while playing was brought home to the football world by the death of Cameroon's Marc-Vivien Foe during a Confederations Cup semi-final against Colombia in 2003.

And in 2004, another Bolton player, Senegal international Khalilou Fadiga, collapsed before a League Cup tie against Tottenham at the Reebok with a heart problem but subsequently recovered.

Sanjay Sharma, professor of cardiology at St George's Hospital, London, told The Times that players were screened at the age of 16 in England but that not all clubs carried out regular checks.

While it may not be the good news the Android army was hoping for, TWC's got some Big Apple-sized bits to share. Via its Untangled blog, Time Warner announced it's finally adding local channels to its iPhone / iPad app and TWCTV site, including CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC and Univision (because you can never have enough novelas). Unfortunately, the goodies won't be up for everyone's viewing pleasure, as the additions are only for folks within the NYC boroughs. That said, the cable giant plans to add "a few more markets by the end of the year." Want to find out if your favorite local news show made the cut? The full list can be found at the source link below.
