PROBLEM: Paddockâs girlfriend   Marilou Danley   plays a central role in the court documents.  Danley  has denied knowing anything about Paddockâs plans.  She  was out of the country when the attack happened  and  Danley  said after the shooting that  she  was in the Philippines at the time because Paddock had bought  her  a ticket to visit family.
 Danley  spoke with FBI agents after returning to the United States.  She  âcorroborated much of what had been previously deduced by investigators â an agent wrote in one filing  and remained âadamantâ  she  was unaware of Paddockâs intentions.
The FBI affidavit states that when investigators took a DNA sample from  Danley   â she  spontaneously stated that  her  fingerprints would likely be found on Paddockâs ammunition because  she  occasionally participated in loading magazines.â
The FBI document  filed six days after the shooting  says authorities had no evidence suggesting  Danley  had any criminal involvement in the massacre. But it notes that while investigators had not found âany conclusive evidenceâ that  she  helped Paddock  knew about his plans in advance or lied to law enforcement  that remained âthe subject of intensive review.â
In  her  statement after the shooting   Danley  said that  she  had assumed Paddock was breaking up with  her   continuing that it ânever occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone.â

PROBLEM: "Did they cut more calories from their diet ... or did they become more physically active?" asked study author Kevin Hall   a senior investigator with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
 Hall  had been "puzzled by how quickly the contestants were losing weight." So he contacted the show's physician and began studying the season eight contestants.
Early on   Hall  observed that weight loss was better predicted by food intake  not physical activity alone. But in the long term  the opposite was true.
"You have to be very physically active in order to keep the weight off  " Hall  said.
 Hall 's findings echo previous studies that promote more exercise for long-term weight loss maintenance. However  experts caution that doesn't mean people can neglect their diets in the long run  either.
This method  however  was not able to tell how much of the physical activity was due to normal daily activities -- like cleaning the house or walking the dog -- versus following a workout plan   Hall  said.
Six years later  however  the contestants' resting metabolisms still hadn't sped back up   Hall  showed in a study last year.
For  Hall   metabolic changes are just one part of the puzzle. Genetics may also play a role  as well as social factors that can make it hard for some people to incorporate so much exercise in their daily lives.
 Hall  added that it's not necessarily those who were most physically active during the competition who kept it up six years later.

PROBLEM: MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin flew into Syria and ordered “a significant part” of Moscow’s military contingent there to start withdrawing on Monday  declaring their work largely done.
 Putin   who polls show will be re-elected comfortably in March  made the announcement during a surprise visit to Russia’s Hmeymim air base in Syria -  his  first since Russia intervened in the conflict. He held talks with President Bashar al-Assad and addressed Russian forces.
The first leg in a three-country one-day whirlwind diplomatic visit which sees  Putin  also meeting his Egyptian and Turkish counterparts   Putin  is keen to leverage the heightened Middle East influence that Syria has given  him  to cast  himself  as a leader who can do diplomacy as well as military force.
The Kremlin first launched air strikes in Syria in September 2015 in its biggest Middle East intervention in decades  turning the tide of the conflict in Assad’s favor. Now that it regards that mission complete   Putin  wants to help broker a peace deal.
“In just over two years  Russia’s armed forces and the Syrian army have defeated the most battle-hardened group of international terrorists ”  Putin  told Russian servicemen.
A “significant part” of the Russian force could now return home. “The conditions for a political solution under the auspices of the United Nations have been created ” said  Putin . “The Motherland awaits you.”
Washington was skeptical about  Putin ’s statement.
 Putin  made clear in any case that Russia would retain enough firepower to destroy any possible Islamic State comeback.
Syrian state television quoted Assad as thanking  Putin  for Russia’s help  saying the blood of Moscow’s “martyrs” had been mixed with the blood of the Syrian army. It also showed the two men watching what it called a victory parade with Russian troops dressed in desert uniforms marching past.

Russia’s “mission accomplished” moment in Syria may help  Putin  increase the turnout at the March presidential election by appealing to the patriotism of voters.
Though polls show  he  will easily win  they also show that some Russians are increasingly apathetic about politics  and  Putin ’s supporters are keen to get  him  re-elected on a big turnout  which in their eyes confers legitimacy.
 Putin   who with the help of state TV has dominated Russia’s political landscape for the last 17 years  told Russian servicemen they would return home as victors.
Speaking in front of a row of servicemen holding Russian flags   Putin  said  his  military had proved its might and that Moscow had succeeded in keeping Syria intact as a “sovereign independent state.”
“I congratulate you!”  Putin  told the servicemen.
 Putin  is keen to organize a special event in Russia - the Syrian Congress on National Dialogue - that Moscow hopes will bring together the Syrian government and opposition and try to hammer out a new constitution.
