Angle was born in the Pittsburgh suburb of Mt. Lebanon Township, Pennsylvania, the son of Jackie and David Angle. He attended Clarion University of Pennsylvania, graduating with a degree in education in 1993. Angle has four older brothers (one of whom, Eric, is also a wrestler) and a sister, Le'Anne, who died in 2003. His father, a crane operator, was killed in a construction accident when Angle was 16, and Angle dedicated both his career and his autobiography to his father.
Throughout mid-2000, after aligning himself with Edge & Christian, "Team ECK" (Edge, Christian, and Kurt) feuded with Too Cool and Rikishi, with Angle defeating Rikishi in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament. He went on to feud with Triple H after a love triangle between them and Triple H's wife, Stephanie McMahon, developed. As a change to the intended storyline of Stephanie turning on her husband and going with Angle, he lost to Triple H at Unforgiven. Before the match started, however, he bumped into a returning Stone Cold Steve Austin, who was looking for the perpetrator who ran him over at the previous year's Survivor Series. Angle offered him his friendship and one of his gold medals, but Austin was not pleased by telling him that he would keep it in a nice safe place, to which Austin referred to "right up his ass" before attacking Angle and throwing his medal to the floor. Following his feud with Triple H, Angle received another push and began pursuing the WWF Championship, defeating The Rock at No Mercy, after botched interference on The Rock's behalf from Rikishi. With his victory over The Rock, Angle became the first wrestler to have won both an Olympic Gold medal and the world championship. Angle retained the WWF Championship for the rest of the year in matches with The Undertaker at Survivor Series and in a six-man Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon. After beating Triple H at the Royal Rumble, Angle eventually lost the title to The Rock at No Way Out. Angle then feuded with Chris Benoit whom he defeated at WrestleMania X-Seven, but lost to him at Backlash in an Ultimate Submission match; Benoit defeated Angle four falls to three in sudden-death overtime. Continuing the feud, Angle again defeated Benoit in a two out of three falls match at Judgment Day. Benoit pinned Angle after an Angle Slam in a "Pinfalls Only" fall, and then Angle made Benoit submit with the ankle lock in the "Submissions Only" fall. Angle won the third fall, a ladder match, with the help of Edge and Christian. Answer this question using a quote from the following article:

Fluidity of racial categories aside, the "biologification" of race in Brazil referred above would match contemporary concepts of race in the United States quite closely, though, if Brazilians are supposed to choose their race as one among, Asian and Indigenous apart, three IBGE's census categories. While assimilated Amerindians and people with very high quantities of Amerindian ancestry are usually grouped as caboclos, a subgroup of pardos which roughly translates as both mestizo and hillbilly, for those of lower quantity of Amerindian descent a higher European genetic contribution is expected to be grouped as a pardo. In several genetic tests, people with less than 60-65% of European descent and 5-10% of Amerindian descent usually cluster with Afro-Brazilians (as reported by the individuals), or 6.9% of the population, and those with about 45% or more of Subsaharan contribution most times do so (in average, Afro-Brazilian DNA was reported to be about 50% Subsaharan African, 37% European and 13% Amerindian).

By. Anna Edwards. A heroic 93-year-old World War Two RAF bomber was left house-bound after his mobility scooter was stolen by thieves who broke into his garage. Ron Brown, who flew 64 bombing missions over Nazi-occupied Europe, has now had a replacement bought for him by the Royal British Legion. The theft, at his home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, on November 18 last year, left him house-bound. Ron Brown had his mobility scooter stolen after thugs broke into his garage and took away his scooter. But yesterday his comrades in the Royal British Legion vowed to stump up £2,000 for a brand new one. Mr Brown said: 'I can only walk about 50 yards, so I am dependent on it when I leave the house. His comrades in the Royal British Legion vowed to stump up £2,000 for a brand new one. 'Since it was taken, I have not really been able to go out. 'I had a heart attack about 18 months ago and I had just about fully recovered when this happened. 'Taking my scooter away from me was such a heartless thing to do.' Mr Brown flew as a Bomber Command flight engineer and took part in 64 bombing operations with 218 Squadron and 75 New Zealand Squadron between 1939 and 1945. Mr Brown's survival is exceptional, considering that Bomber Command crews suffered an extremely high casualty rate during World War II. The brave crews endured a staggering 44.4 per cent death rate. A total of 55,573 were killed out of a total of 125,000 aircrew, with a further 8,403 wounded in action. He said: 'The legion has offered to buy me a new scooter, which I am very grateful for. 'I informed the police that the scooter was taken but, sadly, there has been no sign of recovering it. 'I am over the moon that the legion is making efforts to replace it for me. 'They are an absolute wonderful and caring organisation. 'The police have also been marvellous and have done all they can for me.' Three years ago, Mr Brown suffered a stroke, which affected his mobility. The scooter gave him independence and allowed him to do his own shopping. Mr Brown flew as a Bomber Command flight engineer and took part in 64 bombing operations with 218 Squadron and 75 New Zealand Squadron between 1939 and 1945. A spokesman for the Royal British Legion said: 'The Royal British Legion offers support to any serving or ex-service personnel and their families today and for the rest of their lives. 'We would encourage anyone who meets this criteria and finds themselves in need of help to get in contact.' A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said: 'The offenders had prised the garage door open and took the mobility scooter, which was on charge. 'House-to-house inquires have taken place to gather information and inform neighbours. 'Mobility scooter shops have also been visited to see if the scooter was being offered for sale. 'Officers have also checked social media and websites for anyone that is trying to sell the scooter.'

Study: Exercising Over Age 40 Still Protects Your Heart
You’re never to old to start getting in shape, a new study says.
Researchers in France studied 40 healthy men between ages 55 and 70 who were not at a risk for heart disease. They divided them into groups based on their level of fitness and when they started. Ten of the men had never exercised more than two hours a week throughout their lives, 30 had exercised for a minimum of seven hours a week over the last five years. Some of these man started this exercise regimen before age 30, and some started after age 40. The participants were either running or cycling.
Interestingly, there was not much of a difference between the heart rates of the men who exercised despite age. Heart rates were much higher among the men who did not exercise. The men who exercised regularly also appeared to have better heart function, with high oxygen intake.
The researchers conclude that even though there are biological changes associated with age, even at age 40 the heart appears to benefit from endurance training.
Past evidence has also shown that exercise for people even older than 40 has benefits, like heart disease protection and even better memory.
There really are no excuses.

Summarize this article in one sentence.
Dennis Nicholls, 89, urged police to hurry to the Lowestoft home he shared with Karen Kimber, fearing she was going to harm him.
Kimber, 53, was given a hospital order after admitting the manslaughter of her father by diminished responsibility.
Suffolk Police said it had changed the way it handled 999 calls.
It said it now carried out a more "rigorous assessment" of "threat".
Kimber, who had a long history of mental illness, strangled her father believing he was the devil.
She had sought help in the run-up to her father's death.
In a 999 call from their home in Kirkley Run, Mr Nicholls said Kimber was trying to hurt him and urged police to help.
He made the call just before 21:00 GMT on 19 November 2014.
Shortly afterwards, Kimber was found in the street near her home. She told neighbours she had just killed her father.
The matter was referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) as "there had been recent police contact with the victim prior to his death".
The IPCC found a case for gross misconduct against a member of police staff and they were subsequently dismissed.
Suffolk Police said call handlers now used a new method of dealing with each call, based on a more "rigorous assessment of the threat, risk and harm posed by each incident".
A IPCC spokesman said: "The investigation examined the actions and decision making of a call handler who took an emergency call from Mr Nicholls, specifically looking at the call handler's assessment of the risk posed to Mr Nicholls and the grading of the call.
"The investigation report will be published in due course."
The Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust, the county's mental health care provider said Kimber received an effective and appropriate level of care.
A review into the case is being carried out by the Waveney Community Safety Partnership.

By. Ellie Zolfagharifard. PUBLISHED:. 07:15 EST, 14 January 2014. |. UPDATED:. 07:41 EST, 14 January 2014. The Milky Way’s black hole is about to gobble up its first dinner, and astronomers are hoping to have front row seats when it happens. A huge gas cloud, about three times the mass of Earth, is on course to collide with the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy in March. Astronomers expect the gas cloud will swing so close to the black hole that it will heat up to the point where it produces spectacular X-rays. Scroll down for videos... A huge gas cloud, about three times the mass of Earth, is on course to collide with the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy in March. Pictured here is a simulation of how the gas cloud might appear after close approach to the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. The gas cloud, dubbed G2, was first discovered by astronomers in Germany in 2011. They expected it to hit the black hole, called Sagittarius A* (pronounced Sagittarius A-star by astronomers), late last year. That didn't happen, but the cloud continues to drift closer. Astronomers now predict that the impact will occur in the next few months. When it does, the X-rays produced from the impact could help scientists understand how black holes eat matter and shed light on the evolution of galaxy. The galactic center as imaged by the Swift X-ray Telescope. This image is a montage of all data obtained in the monitoring programme from 2006-2013. Sagittarius A* lurks 26,000 light years. away in the Milky Way's innermost region. Even for a black hole, it is very dim -. about a billion times fainter than others of its supermassive types -. making it something of a mystery. Black holes eat matter from their surroundings and blow matter back. The way they do that influences the evolution of the entire galaxy. The. collision will give astronomers a unique opportunity to see how faint. supermassive black holes feed. They hope to understand these black holes don't consume matter in the same way as their brighter counterparts. in other galaxies. The findings could shed light on how stars are formed, how the galaxy grows and how it interacts with other galaxies. ‘Astronomers around the world are eagerly awaiting the first sign that this interaction has begun,’ said Jamie Kennea, a team member at Pennsylvania State University in University Park. Scientists saw what they thought was a sign in April, when Nasa’s Swift telescope detected a powerful high-energy burst and a dramatic rise in the X-ray brightness of the Sagittarius A* region. They were excited to discover the activity came from separate source very near the black hole: a rare subclass of neutron star. A neutron star is the crushed core of a star destroyed by a supernova explosion, packing the equivalent mass of a half-million Earths into a sphere no wider than Washington. The neutron star, named SGR J1745-29, is a magnetar, meaning its magnetic field is thousands of times stronger than an average neutron star. Only 26 magnetars have been identified to date. The discovery of SGR J1745-29 may aid scientists in their exploration of important properties of the Sagittarius A* black hole. Black holes eat matter from their surroundings and blow matter back. The way they do that influences the evolution of the entire galaxy—how stars are formed, how the galaxy grows, how it interacts with other galaxies. Sagittarius A* lurks 26,000 light years away in the Milky Way's innermost region. For a black hole it is dim - about a billion times fainter than others of its supermassive types - making it something of a mystery. The collision will give astronomers a unique opportunity to see how faint supermassive black holes, such as the Milky Way’s, feed and perhaps why they don't consume matter in the same way as their brighter counterparts in other galaxies. Black holes eat matter from their surroundings and blow matter back. The way they do that influences the evolution of the entire galaxy. Black holes themselves are invisible and don't permit light to escape, the material falling into them shines in X-rays. While astronomers expect to see a change in brightness, they don't know how dramatic it will be because they aren't sure exactly what the gaseous G2 object is. If it's all gas, the region would glow in the X-ray band for years to come as the black hole slowly swallows the cloud. Another possibility is that G2 could be shrouding an old star. If that's the case, the display would be less spectacular as Sagittarius A* slurped from the cloud while the star slipped by, dense enough to fight its grasp. ‘I would be delighted if Sagittarius A* suddenly became 10,000 times brighter. However it is possible that it will not react much—like a horse that won't drink when led to water,’ said Jon Miller, a University of Michigan associate professor of astronomy. ‘If Sagittarius A* consumes some of G2, we can learn about black holes accreting at low levels—sneaking midnight snacks. It is potentially a unique window into how most black holes in the present-day universe accrete.’

(Rolling Stone) -- Questlove remembers the moment he called D'Angelo and asked him to make his first U.S. concert appearance in 12 years on June 9th, for the drummer's late-night Super Jam at Bonnaroo. "I said, 'It will be a whole night doing what we used to do at Electric Lady in the Nineties,'" Questlove tells Rolling Stone. "'Playing the Funkadelic catalog and seeing what we get, the Prince catalog, Hendrix, the Meters.' He said, 'Go ahead.' And once he said, 'Go ahead,' I was like, 'I got you now.'" During the live jam session, D'Angelo surprised the crowd by grooving with Funkadelic singer Kendra Foster during a funky cover of the Beatles' "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" and shredding guitar on Jimi Hendrix's "Power of Soul."

Various cases for rape, physical abuse and murder were prosecuted in court. Women, although usually having fewer rights by custom, were allowed to level civil and criminal charges against men. While suspects were jailed, convicted criminals were never imprisoned. Instead, punishments were commonly monetary fines, periods of forced hard labor for convicts, and the penalty of death by beheading. Early Han punishments of torturous mutilation were borrowed from Qin law. A series of reforms abolished mutilation punishments with progressively less-severe beatings by the bastinado.

Other nations will be wary of them as competition starts this week, she said.
"Scotland are obviously very successful on the world stage," Howie told BBC Scotland.
"The Commonwealth Games was the last big event and we obviously did well on home soil, so people will be out to beat us."
The outdoor championships in Christchurch start on 29 November and run until 11 December.
It goes ahead despite the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck earlier this month, the epicentre of which was just over 100 miles from the venues for this quadrennial event.
Howie admits the venues will be challenging for the Scots.
"They're playing on four different greens, all with very different conditions, and they'll be tough conditions, so it's how the players deal with those as a wee gust of wind here or there could be the difference," she said.
"It's going to be tough but I've got every faith that the guys are prepared and ready to perform."
This is only one of the qualification events for the Commonwealth Games team after Bowls Scotland agreed ranking targets with Commonwealth Games Scotland.
They can qualify for each discipline should they manage a top-six finish in New Zealand, although there will be further opportunities in competition in 2017.
Scotland head coach David Gourlay is adamant that thoughts of qualification for the Gold Coast in 2018 will not be a distraction.
"It's nothing new as we faced this in Adelaide to qualify for Glasgow," he said.
"There is a little bit of added pressure, but we've tried to focus on players performing with distinction and bringing back medals, as last time we came away with three, so it would be good to add to that."
Olympic gold medal winning curler Howie believes bowls needs a culture change to prevent Scotland from falling behind in the sport and, as she did with curling, has been working on both physical and psychological performances.
"The players have played for so long they know {the technical and tactical} side, but it's to push them to that extra level," she said.
"We're not saying they have to bench press 120kg, but they play three games a day and have to be physically fit.
"It is a mental game as you are on the green for a long time, so mentally you have to be fit and that team dynamic is huge.
"Five people aren't going to play well all the time, somebody is going to have a bad game, so the team dynamic and helping each other through that is vital and could add that extra percentage."
While the players focus on this championship, Gourlay told BBC Scotland he and Howie have an eye on the next generation and are working with the governing body on programmes to sustain and build on the success enjoyed in recent years.
"The Commonwealth Games was really important for bowls as a sport," he added. "With the guys doing so well, winning three medals, the media coverage and exposure we got was great, but coming with that is a lot of expectation that we keep that going.
"It's important we put the building blocks, the foundation, in place for future as we can't always rely on the Alex Marshalls, Paul Fosters, Darren Burnetts and that's the process we're doing at the moment."

Some found it shocking when Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber granted convicted double-murderer Gary Haugen a reprieve Tuesday, setting aside Haugen's scheduled December 6 execution. Haugen, who killed another prisoner while serving a life sentence for a previous murder, had waived all appeals. In a previous term as governor, Kitzhaber allowed two men to be executed, and he explained Tuesday that "I simply cannot participate once again in something that I believe to be morally wrong." A medical doctor with an active license, the governor also referred to his oath as a physician to "do no harm" as he announced Haugen's reprieve and a moratorium on executions for the remainder of his term in office. Notably, in issuing a reprieve (or delay) rather than commuting Haugen's sentence, Kitzhaber left open the possibility of Haugen's execution under a future governor. As the news spread, many people reacted with anger. Kitzhaber has been called a coward and worse. This wave of anger, though, should not distract from two important truths: first, that Kitzhaber's actions are within, not without, the basic rules of our democracy; second, that Kitzhaber is a proxy for the thousands of people in this country who have had to live with doubt and even regret because they were thrust into the death penalty process while doing their civic duty as jurors, judges or lawyers. In 1984, Oregon voters chose by referendum to reinstate the death penalty. The legislature formulated rules for capital punishment. Prosecutors elected, as they could, to pursue the death penalty against Haugen. A jury heard the evidence, and 12 Oregon citizens voted to have Haugen put to death. The courts that heard Haugen's appeals (up to the point he dropped them) found the process fair. Then, after all of this, Kitzhaber chose not to finish this expensive and consuming project. Kitzhaber's choice is anti-democratic, it does frustrate the will of prosecutors, it must be confounding to those 12 jurors, and it constitutes a tremendous exercise of power based on just one person's sense of morality. It is also wholly within the genius of American government. Oregon and other states have incorporated executive clemency into their systems of criminal law, drawing on the example laid out in the United States Constitution. The framers of the Constitution chose intentionally to give the executive that power, knowing full well that it would necessarily run contrary to popular will. If you are angry with Kitzhaber for using that power, also direct your anger at Alexander Hamilton, who was a driving force behind the institution of executive clemency in the United States. Here is part of what Hamilton said about it in Federalist Paper 74: "Humanity and good policy conspire to dictate, that the benign prerogative of pardoning should be as little as possible fettered or embarrassed. ... On these accounts, one man appears to be a more eligible dispenser of the mercy of government, than a body of men." The anti-democratic institution of clemency that is generating such anger is contrary to the voters of Oregon, yes. However, we should not forget that that same institution is ancient, principled and an integral part of the broad scheme of justice that wiser men than I have constructed. A second buried truth is revealed within the tortured way in which Kitzhaber announced his decision. During a prior term as governor, in 1997, he had allowed two executions, and it seems clear that he was deeply troubled by his role in those killings. How could he not be? It is a heavy responsibility to participate in a deliberative process that identifies a citizen to be put to death by the state. However, Kitzhaber is just the exposed tip of an iceberg of human emotion. Beneath him are thousands of others who have been forced by the institution of capital punishment to live with their role in an intentional death. Among that group are lawyers, witnesses and judges, but perhaps most sympathetic of all are the jurors. They are plucked from their daily lives by the government and suddenly thrust into the most important role of all -- they must vote, unanimously, after deliberation, on whether someone will live or die. If they vote for execution, they must file back into that hushed, tense room, look that person in the eye and say in the most public of ways that they have chosen him to die. I have known some of those jurors. Years later, even if they were convinced they were right, they revealed deep and dark emotions related to what they had done. At best, that service was seen as a difficult but worthwhile sacrifice, and at worst as a moment they too often relived while filled with doubt. Kitzhaber is right to say that the capital process is fatally flawed. It is unfair to some defendants, yes. But a system that tries many, condemns some to die and executes few is also cruel and unusual to those who work within the process. It is primarily inflicting pain on victims' relatives who wait in limbo, on jurors who relive those discussions, on prosecutors whose hearts are hardened while their efforts are frustrated and on the budgets and reputations of the states that choose to go on with it anyway. Kitzhaber is not wrong to declare a moratorium, but he would be better advised to fully commute the sentences of those on death row and urge his fellow citizens to be done with the whole mess that this process has become. That kind of bold action is not cowardice. It is leadership. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Mark Osler.
Summarize the highlights of this article. | Mark Osler: Oregon governor drew some angry reactions to convict's execution reprieve. But executive clemency part of Oregon law, Osler says, an act of principle, not cowardice. Osler: It's right to resist process that pulls prosecutors, jurors, families into flawed system. Gov. Kitzhaber should go further and commute death row sentences, Osler says. | 4 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

Bjorn Borg was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on 6 June 1956, as the only child of Rune and Margaretha Borg. He grew up in nearby Sodertalje. As a child, Borg became fascinated with a golden tennis racket that his father won at a table-tennis tournament. His father gave him the racket, beginning his tennis career.
Borg had one of the most distinctive playing styles in the Open Era. He played from the baseline, with powerful ground-strokes. His highly unorthodox backhand involved taking his racket back with both hands but actually generating his power with his dominant right hand, letting go of the grip with his left hand around point of contact, and following through with his swing as a one-hander. He hit the ball hard and high from the back of the court and brought it down with considerable topspin, which made his ground strokes very consistent. There had been other players, particularly Rod Laver and Arthur Ashe, who played with topspin on both the forehand and backhand, yet Laver and Ashe used topspin only as a way to mix up their shots to pass their opponents at the net easily. Borg was one of the first top players to use heavy topspin on his shots consistently. Complementing his consistent ground-strokes was his fitness. Both of these factors allowed Borg to be dominant at the French Open. One of the factors that made Borg unique was his dominance on the grass courts of Wimbledon, where baseliners since World War II did not usually succeed. Some experts attributed his dominance on this surface to his consistency, an underrated serve, equally underrated volleys, and his adaptation to grass courts. Against the best players, he almost always served-and-volleyed on his first serves (but he naturally played from the baseline after his second serves). Another trait usually associated with Borg is his grace under pressure. His calm court demeanor earned him the nickname of the "Ice Man" or "Ice-Borg." Borg's physical conditioning was legendary and unrivalled. He could outlast most of his opponents under the most grueling conditions. Contrary to popular belief, however, this wasn't due to his exceptionally low resting heart rate, often reported to be near 35 beats per minute. In his introduction to Borg's autobiography My Life and Game, Eugene Scott relates that this rumor arose from a medical exam the 18-year-old Borg once took for military service, where his pulse was recorded as 38. Scott goes on to reveal Borg's true pulse rate as "about 50 when he wakes up and around 60 in the afternoon." Borg is credited with helping to develop the style of play that has come to dominate the game today.

Dozens of Atlanta public school educators falsified standardized tests or failed to address such misconduct in their schools, Gov. Nathan Deal said Tuesday in unveiling the results of a state investigation that confirmed widespread cheating in the city schools dating as far back as 2001. Some of the cheating could result in criminal charges, Deal said. "I think the overall conclusion was that testing and results and targets being reached became more important than actual learning for children," Deal said. "And when reaching targets became the goal, it was a goal that was pursued with no excuses." Falsifying test results made the schools appear to be performing better than they really were. But in the process, students were deprived of critical remedial education and taxpayers were cheated, as well, Deal said. Investigators said 178 teachers and principals working at 44 schools were involved. The educators, including 38 principals, were either directly involved in erasing wrong answers on a key standardized test or they knew -- or should have known -- what was going on, according to Deal's office. Deal's office said 82 of the educators acknowledged involvement, according to the report. Six principals declined to answer investigators' questions and invoked the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, Deal said. Whether to bring criminal charges will be up to prosecutors, Deal said. Georgia State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge and Kathleen Mathers, executive director of the governor's Office of Student Achievement, released a joint statement Tuesday condemning "unethical behavior." "Some educators, including those in leadership positions, chose their own interests over helping students entrusted to their care," the statement said. "While this story has dominated the headlines over the last couple of years, it is important to remember that the vast majority of the educators in Georgia are ethically sound and work diligently with the best interests of their students in mind." The investigation's findings have been forwarded to the state teacher licensing board, Deal said. That agency could take disciplinary action against the educators involved. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, who was briefed on the report, said the investigation "confirms our worst fears." "There is no doubt that systemic cheating occurred on a widespread basis in the school system," Reed said in a statement. "Further, there is no question that a complete failure of leadership in the Atlanta Public School system hurt thousands of children who were promoted to the next grade without meeting basic academic standards." The cheating was brought to light after marked improvements in the district's performance on the 2009 statewide Criterion-Referenced Competency test (CRCT) revealed a pattern of incorrect test answers being erased and replaced with correct answers. Investigators compared the results with test results from other Georgia schools and found that such patterns did not occur normally, Deal said. That the district's CRCT results fell in 2010 further confirmed the findings, according to the report. A spokesman for Atlanta Public Schools said district officials would have no immediate comment. The cheating accompanied a "culture of fear, intimidation and retaliation" within the district, according to a summary of the report released by Deal's office. The report also found a "major failure of leadership" within the district. Beverly Hall, who was superintendent of the district when the cheating scandal surfaced, has since resigned. Hall won accolades for the district's apparent successes during her tenure, and she was named superintendent of the year by the American Association of School Administrators in 2009. Neither Hall nor her attorney, Richard Deane, has seen or been briefed on the report, Deane said Tuesday. The full text of the report was not released. Deal said it was being withheld pending consultation with the state attorney general's office.

Edgar Yipsel "Yip" Harburg (born Isidore Hochberg, Yiddish: ysydvr hvkbrg; April 8, 1896 - March 5, 1981) was an American popular song lyricist who worked with many well-known composers. He wrote the lyrics to the standards "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"
Harburg, the youngest of four surviving children (out of ten), was born Isidore Hochberg on the Lower East Side of New York City on April 8, 1896. His parents, Lewis Hochberg and Mary Ricing, were Yiddish-speaking Orthodox Jews who had emigrated from Russia. He later adopted the name Edgar Harburg, and came to be best known as Edgar "Yip" Harburg. He attended Townsend Harris High School, where he and Ira Gershwin, who met over a shared fondness for Gilbert and Sullivan, worked on the school paper and became lifelong friends. According to his son Ernie Harburg, Gilbert and Irish dramatist George Bernard Shaw taught his father, a "democratic socialist, [and] sworn challenger of all tyranny against the people, that 'humor is an act of courage' and dissent". After World War I, Harburg returned to New York and graduated from City College (later part of the City University of New York), which Ira Gershwin had initially attended with him, in 1921. After Harburg married and had two children, he started writing light verse for local newspapers. He became a co-owner of Consolidated Electrical Appliance Company, but the company went bankrupt following the crash of 1929, leaving Harburg "anywhere from $50,000 - $70,000 in debt," which he insisted on paying back over the course of the next few decades. At this point, Harburg and Ira Gershwin agreed that Harburg should start writing song lyrics. Gershwin introduced Harburg to Jay Gorney, who collaborated with him on songs for an Earl Carroll Broadway review (Earl Carroll's Sketchbook): the show was successful and Harburg was engaged as lyricist for a series of successful revues, including Americana in 1932, for which he wrote the lyrics of "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" to the tune of a lullaby Gorney had learned as a child in Russia. This song swept the nation, becoming an anthem of the Great Depression. Harburg was a staunch critic of religion and an atheist. He wrote a poem entitled "Atheist" that summarized his views on god and religion.

Holes emerge in Clinton email claims
Holes and potential contradictions were emerging Wednesday in Hillary Clinton's public claims about her personal email and server use -- including over her motivations for using the "clintonemail.com" account in the first place, and for refusing to allow access to her server now.
A key question is why she declared Tuesday that "the server will remain private."
In her press conference in New York, the former secretary of state said the server "contains personal communications from my husband and me."
But a Wall Street Journal report, quoting former President Bill Clinton's office, said the former president doesn't use email himself -- other than having sent a total of two emails during his time in the White House.
Neither of those emails was to his wife.
Further, Hillary Clinton repeatedly said she chose to use her personal email account and carry just one device for "convenience" -- so she wouldn't have to use two devices, one for work and one for personal business.
Yet Clinton said at a Silicon Valley event last month that, today, she uses an iPhone, a BlackBerry, an iPad, and an iPad mini -- she called herself "two steps short of a hoarder."
Rep Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who heads the House committee probing the Benghazi attacks, also pointed out it wouldn't have been hard to get two emails on one device if she really wanted.
"If she wants somebody to show her how to put two email accounts on one phone, I am happy to do it because even I managed to figure out how to do that and I have two calendars on one phone so that's not tough," he told Fox News.
At the press conference in New York, Clinton also stressed that she broke no laws and said the department allowed her to use her personal email.
A statement put out by her office says the National Archives and Records Administration in 2009 "issued guidance reaffirming" a prior regulation requiring officials to "preserve work emails." Clinton says she has done this.
Yet White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said last week that "very specific guidance has been given to agencies all across the government, which is specifically that employees of the Obama administration should use their official email accounts when they're conducting official government business." (He added that when personal email is used, records should still be preserved.)
Earnest said President Obama signed a bill at the end of 2014 clarifying the guidelines, which contributed to the State Department seeking emails from past secretaries including Clinton.
But even before that, the State Department policy called for officials to use government email for government business.
A 2011 department cable obtained by Fox News shows that Clinton's office told employees to "avoid conducting official Department business from your personal email accounts."
Clinton did not address this guidance at Tuesday's press conference.

Write an article based on this "Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber. Cut back on foods low in fiber. Discuss any dietary restrictions with your doctor. Drink plenty of fluids. Eat more yogurt. Add a fiber supplement."
Article: | Dietary fiber is a portion of plant-based foods that your body can neither digest nor absorb. Fiber helps move material through your digestive tract and also adds bulk to your bowel movements, but of which can help regulate your bowels. Though your diet should include a solid mix of both, dietary fiber comes in two forms—soluble and insoluble. Soluble dietary fiber means that the fiber is water-soluble, the mix of which creates a gel-like substance that can help promote the movement of material through your bowels. Since this fiber absorbs water, it also cuts down on runny stools by solidifying them. Foods rich in soluble fiber include oats, peas, beans (navy, pinto, black, kidney), apples, citrus fruits, carrots, barley, and psyllium. Insoluble fiber is not water-soluble, so it helps add bulk to stool, which helps maintain regular movement of your bowels. Foods rich in insoluble fiber include whole wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts (pecans, almonds, Brazil nuts), beans, and vegetables (such as cauliflower, green beans, leafy greens, and potatoes). Your suggested amount of daily fiber depends on your sex and age. Men and women age 50 and under should aim for 38 and 25 grams per day, respectively. Men and women over age 50 should consume 30 and 21 grams per day, respectively. Many common foods are very low in fiber. Relying on a diet too heavy in these foods can lead to irregularity, so you should always balance them with high-fiber options. Foods low in dietary fiber include: Cheese (and other dairy such as ice cream) Meat Processed foods such as fast food, hot dogs, or microwave dinners If you have any dietary restrictions due to a medical condition, then it is important to discuss these with your doctor. You may require a nutritional consult to ensure that you are following a balanced diet and to help keep you regular. You should aim to drink two to three liters of fluid each day. While most of your fluid should come from water, you can also include fruit and vegetable juices, as well as clear soup broths to meet your daily requirements. Some medical conditions (such as congestive heart failure) will require you to restrict your fluid intake. Consult your doctor regarding your acceptable level of fluid intake before making any changes if you have a condition where you fluids have been restricted. Dehydration is also associated with a condition known as “retentive constipation,” especially in children. With this condition, initial constipation due to dry, hardened stool is worsened by stagnating in the colon/rectum where additional water is drawn out, hardening it even further. This can lead to a vicious cycle of irregularity. The lactic-acid producing bacteria (LAB) found in yogurt has been shown in studies to assist with regularity for some gastrointestinal conditions, including constipation and some diarrheal diseases. The most commonly studied strains of LAB are Lactobacillus and Streptococcus. Check the label on the brand of yogurt for the presence of these LAB strains. You can also purchase over-the-counter fiber supplements to help regulate your bowel movements. Some of the most common are products containing psyllium (such as Metamucil), which is a good source of soluble fiber. | 9 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Fruit often provides an injection of sweetness that counteracts the bitterness of the vegetables. Dress the salad just before you serve it to keep it crisp. Make a dressing combining 3 parts vinegar or fruit juice with one part high-quality oil and seasonings. Add a protein to salad to make it a meal. Try grilled chicken, chickpeas or low-fat cottage cheese. Start with a whole grain pita or tortilla and spread it with hummus or flavored mustard. Add a layer of low CD vegetables and top the salad with lean protein or reduced fat cheese. Sprinkle the sandwich with fresh herbs or hot sauce. Utilize hidden vegetables. Chop or puree vegetables and serve them in a variety of dishes. For instance, try Pumpkin Cranberry Bread, Squash Risotto or Cauliflower Rice. Include vegetables with a variety of colors, and use both fresh and frozen varieties. Try a new fruit or vegetable every week or start your own vegetable garden. Roast vegetables to bring out their natural sweetness. Add a pinch of sugar to a vegetable dish to counteract the bitter taste. Make sure that you don’t overcook your vegetables. Add butter, flavorful oil, grated cheese or salad dressing to enhance the flavor. Purchase peeled and precut vegetables or vegetables from a salad bar. While these may be more expensive, they can help you get a meal on the table quickly. Eat frozen vegetables or high-quality canned vegetables. If you use canned vegetables, then rinse them to cut the sodium content before you add them to a dish.

Summarize this article:
The suspect, clad in black, apparently posed for photos with students ahead of the attack, in the western town of Trollhattan.
Two further victims, a pupil and a teacher, are seriously injured. The attacker was shot by police and has died of his injuries. He was 21 and resident in Trollhattan, police said.
The king has said Sweden "is in shock".
Eyewitnesses described chaos at the school, with hundreds of students fleeing from the building screaming.
Police responded to an emergency call reporting an attack in the cafe area of the Kronan school, at around 10:10 local time (08:10 GMT) on Thursday.
Arriving at the scene, they found a dead man - a teacher - near the entrance.
Two male students and another teacher were rushed to hospital. One of the boys, aged 17, has since died of his injuries.
The other pupil, who is 15, and the teacher, a 41-year-old man, are being treated in intensive care for knife injuries. Their condition is described as serious but stable by the hospital.
The attacker was also taken to hospital with gunshot wounds and has since died.
Police have said several knives were used in the attack.
Officers have identified the suspect but not released his name. They have searched the suspect's home and have found "interesting" things, spokesman Thord Haraldsson told a news conference.
He was not previously known to police, he said.
Asked about possible links to far-right extremism, Mr Haraldsson refused to comment, Swedish radio reports.
Local media have reported that the suspect's accounts on Facebook and YouTube suggest an interest in Hitler and Nazi Germany. In a photo given to media by a student at the school, he appears to be wearing a black trench coat and a helmet resembling those worn by German troops in World War Two.
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet published an account (in Swedish) of a girl, who they refer to as Sara, who witnessed the attack.
The girl left her classroom and met two school friends who stood with a masked man holding a bloody knife, she said. He was playing "horrible, Halloween-type" music and did not speak, she said.
Her friends thought it was a joke and wanted to be photographed with the man, so Sara took a photo, Aftonbladet reports.
A teacher came out and asked the man what he was doing, the girl said.
"You're scaring the children, you can go," the teacher said.
The man just nodded then stabbed the teacher in the side with his knife, Sara said.
She and her friends ran. The man chased them but they managed to escape.
King Carl Gustaf said in a statement that he had learned of the events in Trollhattan "with great dismay and sorrow".
Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has arrived in the town, and said it was a "black day for Sweden".
"I think of the victims and their families, students and staff, and the whole of the affected community. No words can describe what they are going through right now. We must ensure that they receive all the support they need," he said.
Trollhattan is an industrial town in west Sweden, located around 75km (50 miles) north of Gothenburg, the nation's second largest city.
School attacks are rare in Sweden - with just one incident on record in the past 20 years, in which one pupil was shot dead.

Article: Innuendo was released in early 1991 with an eponymous number 1 UK hit and other charting singles including, "The Show Must Go On". Mercury was increasingly ill and could barely walk when the band recorded "The Show Must Go On" in 1990. Because of this, May had concerns about whether he was physically capable of singing it. Recalling Mercury's successful performance May states; "he went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal". The rest of the band were ready to record when Mercury felt able to come in to the studio, for an hour or two at a time. May says of Mercury: “He just kept saying. 'Write me more. Write me stuff. I want to just sing this and do it and when I am gone you can finish it off.’ He had no fear, really.” The band's second greatest hits compilation, Greatest Hits II, followed in October 1991, which is the eighth best-selling album of all time in the UK and has sold 16 million copies worldwide.

at the Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia The Falcons welcomed the defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers to town. The Falcons beat the Steelers in overtime, 41-38. The Falcons recovered a Steelers fumble after they punted to start the game. On the next play Michael Vick hit Alge Crumpler for a 22-yard touchdown pass. It was the first of what would be a career-high four touchdown pass game for Vick. After Steelers' kicker Jeff Reed kicked a 28-yard, the Steelers' defense held and forced the Falcons to give up the ball again when Steelers' safety Troy Polamalu intercepted Vick. Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hit Georgia native and Steelers' receiver Hines Ward for an 11-yard touchdown pass to give the Steelers a 10-7 lead after one quarter of play. On the next Steelers' drive, Ben Roethlisberger found Heath Miller for a 1-yard touchdown pass to give the Steelers a 17-7 lead. The Steelers then fumbled on the first play of their following drive and the Falcons took over. Six plays later Vick found Crumpler again, this time for a 3-yard touchdown pass to cut the Steelers' lead to 17-14. The teams exchanged touchdowns and the Steelers led at halftime, 24-21. The first score of the second half came after another Steelers fumble when Warrick Dunn scored on a 3-yard touchdown run to put the Falcons ahead for the second time in the game, 28-24. Steelers' backup quarterback Charlie Batch, who came in for an injured Roethlisberger, hit Ward for a 70-yard touchdown pass to give the Steelers a 31-28 lead. The Falcons answered when Vick found Crumpler for a third time in the game with a 31-yard touchdown pass that put the Falcons ahead, 35-31. After the Falcons' Morten Andersen kicked a 25-yard field goal to give the Falcons a 38-31 lead, the Steelers came back again with a Batch 17-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 38 and force overtime. In overtime the Falcons won the coin toss. Falcons' kicker Morten Andersen, after an 11-play 65-yard drive, put the capper on the game with a 32-yard field goal to give the Falcons an overtime victory over the Steelers as the team improved to 4-2.

Article: Presbyterians distinguish themselves from other denominations by doctrine, institutional organization (or "church order") and worship; often using a "Book of Order" to regulate common practice and order. The origins of the Presbyterian churches are in Calvinism. Many branches of Presbyterianism are remnants of previous splits from larger groups. Some of the splits have been due to doctrinal controversy, while some have been caused by disagreement concerning the degree to which those ordained to church office should be required to agree with the Westminster Confession of Faith, which historically serves as an important confessional document – second only to the Bible, yet directing particularities in the standardization and translation of the Bible – in Presbyterian churches.

Article: Using a blow dryer, straightening iron, or curling iron can weaken your hair and make it more prone to breakage, especially when you use them on a daily basis. Help your hair recuperate and take a break by limiting your heat styling to once or twice a week. When you do style with a heat tool, make sure to apply a heat protecting spray or cream first. Allow your hair to air dry a few times a week, such as on days when you aren't in a rush. Brushes with plastic bristles can be rough on your hair, causing strands to fray and break. Choose a soft paddle brush instead, which will be more gentle on your hair while still detangling effectively. Using a gentle comb is especially important if you do a lot of teasing or backcombing to create volume. Tight ponytails and buns can weaken your hair both at the hair elastic and near your roots, especially if you wear do the same style everyday. Mix it up and give your hair a break by leaving your strands down or tying them back in a loose bun or braid. Make sure your hair doesn’t get caught under the strap of your shoulder bag, either; the strain can cause breakage. Move your hair to your other shoulder before pulling on your bag. Common cotton pillowcases can cause friction between your hair and the fabric, causing breakage. Using a satin or silk pillowcase instead will reduce this risk and help cut down on frizz as well. As an alternative, you could wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf before going to bed. Exactly how often you should get a trim will depend on your hair type, but maintaining a regular schedule will help prevent split ends from worsening and breaking off. Talk to your hair stylist to see how often you should get a trim to keep your hair healthy. Get more frequent cuts, every 4 weeks, if you have a short cut, fine hair, or strands that have sustained damage from coloring or other chemical processes. For fine or medium curls and longer styles, try to go in for a trim every 8-12 weeks. If you have tight, coarse curls, you can get a cut about once every 12 weeks. Your diet has a big impact on how strong and shiny your hair is! Eating healthy and filling your diet with lots of protein will keep your hair strong, shiny, and resistant to breakage. Great foods for healthy hair include: Fish like salmon and halibut Fruit like tangerines and guavas Eggs Oatmeal Greek yogurt Spinach Nuts, seeds, and chickpeas
What is a summary of what this article is about? | Limit your heat styling to 1-2 times per week. Use soft-bristled brushes rather than plastic ones. Avoid wearing tight hairstyles too often.

Article:The warning came amid contradictory claims of an Israeli strike in Syria.
Syria says Israeli war planes bombed a military research centre north-west of Damascus, but the US and others say lorries carrying weapons bound for Lebanon were hit.
Israel has maintained silence about the incident, but Syria has made a formal complaint to the UN.
Damascus says it reserves the right to defend itself, while its allies Russia and Iran have strongly denounced the attack.
Q&A: Israeli 'strike' on Syria
Analysis: Strike adds complexity to tense region
The Syrian army statement about the incident, carried on state media, said Israeli fighter jets had carried out a direct strike on a scientific research centre in Jamraya, killing two people and wounding five.
But a US official told the BBC the target was a convoy carrying SA-17 surface-to-air missiles. Some rebel groups have said they targeted the Jamraya centre.
Israel has declined to comment.
The latest developments have struck a country in turmoil. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad continues to cling to power despite a 22-month conflict that has killed more than 60,000 people.
White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes did not confirm details of Israel's raid itself, but had a warning to issue to Syria.
"Syria should not further destabilise the region by transferring weaponry to Hezbollah," he said.
By Jim MuirBBC News, Beirut
Amid a welter of contradictory reports and rumours, it seems to be established that Israel did mount a lightning air strike inside Syria, despite complete silence from Israeli officials.
That is their normal practice on such occasions. Additionally, they know that intervening in the complex Syrian internal conflict carries big political risks, not least being accused of teaming up with the rebels.
That is exactly what has happened, with Syria and its allies Iran and Hezbollah saying the attack exposed complicity between Israel, the West, and the Syrian opposition.
Israel knows that intervening in such a way would be likely to embarrass the rebels and strengthen President Assad politically. Whatever prompted it to act must have been compelling enough to override that consideration.
Israel has made it clear that arms transfers from Syria to Hezbollah would constitute a red line.
Most Western accounts believe such an arms convoy was the target. If the Jamraya complex was instead - or also - hit, as Damascus insists, the Israelis must have suspected that something seriously dangerous was going on there.
News of the attack does not appear to have generated much alarm in Washington, says the BBC's Paul Adams.
Indeed, he says, the presence in Washington of Israel's military intelligence chief suggests the Obama administration may have been told about the raid beforehand.
But Syria's foreign ministry summoned the UN commander in the Golan to deliver a formal protest, saying Israel's action violated the 1974 disengagement agreement between the two sides, who remain technically at war.
A UN observer force has been in place in the Golan since 1974, with the task of providing "an area of separation and for two equal zones of limited forces and armaments on both sides of the area".
"Syria holds Israel and those who are protecting it at the Security Council responsible for the results of the attack and confirms its right to defend its land and sovereignty," Syria said in a letter to the UN, reported by state media.
But Syria itself is hardly in a position to do much, says the BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut.
Both Hezbollah and Iran are also under pressure at the moment, and Israel's calculation must be that none of those hostile parties has an interest in triggering a regional conflagration right now, our correspondent says.
Later, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed "grave concern" over reports of Israel's action, and called on all concerned to respect international law.
Syria's allies denounced Israel's action, while Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi condemned the alleged air strike as an "overt assault based on the West's policy" to undermine stability in Syria.
Russia - a stalwart defender of Syria on the international diplomatic scene despite its warming trade and economic ties with Israel - also took a strong stance.
"If this information is confirmed," said the foreign ministry, "then we are dealing with unprovoked attacks on targets on the territory of a sovereign country, which blatantly violates the UN Charter and is unacceptable, no matter the motives to justify it."
Earlier Syria's ambassador to Lebanon warned Damascus could take a "surprise" decision to retaliate.
"Israel is closer today to confrontation on the northern front more than it has been at any point since the Second Lebanon War." Alex Fishman, Yedioth Ahronoth
"It could be seen as a hint to other countries, like Turkey and the US, that a military attack on Syria to topple the regime may be an option." Zvi Barel, Ha'aretz
"There have been many signs in recent days that winds of war are blowing in the north. But… an attack, which did or did not take place, will not lead to an immediate round of combat in the north." Amir Rapaport, Ma'ariv
"If Israel acted, as foreign publications say, the ball is in Assad's court. The problem is that in the current situation, he has no court and does not have much to lose. A wounded lion is a dangerous lion." Boaz Bismuth,Yisrael Hayom
US Vice-President Joe Biden is travelling to Germany, where he is expected to discuss the situation in Syria with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the Syrian opposition leader, Moaz al-Khatib.
The Syrian army statement said the Jamraya centre - which was focused on "raising our level of resistance and self-defence" - was damaged in the attack, and specifically denied reports that an arms convoy had been hit.
It said "armed terrorist gangs" - a term the government uses to describe rebel groups - had tried and failed repeatedly to capture the same facility in recent months.
But an opposition activist told the Washington Post that, although there had been two attacks on the centre early on Wednesday, "we did not hear any airplanes... Unless the airplanes were silenced by some technology."
"I mean, is it possible for an air fighter to attack at night, and we don't even hear its sound?"
Some reports suggest the facility could be Syria's Scientific Studies and Research Centre, known by its French acronym CERS, believed to be the state organisation responsible for developing biological and chemical weapons.
Lebanese military and internal security forces say there has been increased activity by Israeli warplanes over Lebanon in the past week, and particularly on Tuesday and the early hours of Wednesday morning.
There is increasing concern in Israel that Syria's chemical weapons could fall into Hezbollah's hands.
Correspondents say Israel is also concerned the Shia militant group could obtain anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles, thus strengthening its ability to respond to Israeli air strikes.
Israel believes Syria received a battery of SA-17s from Russia after an alleged Israeli air strike in 2007 that destroyed a Syrian nuclear reactor near Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria, analysts say.
Wednesday's reported attack came days after Israel moved its Iron Dome defence system to the north of the country.
