\item The removal of the degeneracy and the release of nuclear energy result in expansion of the He core  \item A convective region develops above the location of He off-center ignition, resulting in a rapid mixing of angular momentum from the shear region into the core.  \end{enumerate}  After this rapid initial phase, the core rotation rate remains fairly constant during the duration of core He burning.  The clump stars in the \citet{Mosser:2012} sample rotate fairly slowly, with periods in the range $P_{\rm c} \sim 30-240$ d. Similar to the case of the early RGB, these values are about 1 order of magnitude above the predictions of our models including magnetic torques. torques, again pointing toward the requirement for some extra angular momentum transport occurring in previous evolutionary phases.  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% CHECK PLOT %%%%%%%%%%%%%
