Question: Pro-Trump protest sign with F-word is OK, court rules

A Donald Trump supporter had every right to brandish a profane protest sign in a busy public park on a summer’s day at Niagara Falls, Ontario’s top court ruled on Monday.
In quashing a trespass notice issued to Fredrick Bracken, the Court of Appeal said the ability to protest publicly — even using vulgar language — is an essential part of the democratic process.
“In a free society, individuals are permitted to use open public spaces to address the people assembled there, to challenge each other, and to call government to account,” the Appeal Court said. “The idea that the parks are somehow different — that they are categorically a ‘safe space’ where people are to be protected from exposure to political messages — is antithetical to a free and democratic society and would set a dangerous precedent.”
At the same time, the court upheld the constitutionality of a rule barring park users from abusive behaviour that could interfere with the enjoyment of other users. The provision, the court found, was a reasonable restriction on free speech.
The case arose in August 2016 in the run-up to the presidential election in the United States. Bracken, of Fort Erie, Ont., was in a park near the falls holding up a sign reading: “Trump is right. F—k China. F—k Mexico.”
Niagara Parks police decided the sign was offensive and disturbing visitors. Officers told Bracken he could not display the sign and told him to leave.
A couple of days later, Bracken went to the Parks police headquarters, where he was told that if he returned to the park with the sign, he would be removed under trespassing laws.
He turned to the courts, seeking a declaration that parks rules prohibiting “abusive or insulting language” that interferes with other park users was unconstitutional, and that the oral trespass notice police gave him had violated his free speech rights.
In September 2016, Superior Court Justice James Ramsay ruled that constitutionally guaranteed freedom of expression does not apply to shouting insulting or abusive language in parks. However, Ramsay declined to rule on the validity of the oral trespass notice because he was not satisfied police had actually issued such a notice.
Bracken turned to the Court of Appeal, which decided Ramsay was mistaken to conclude that park rules did not infringe on free speech. The judge was also wrong in deciding police had not issued a trespass notice so there was nothing to quash, the Appeal Court found.
For their part, Niagara Parks police and Niagara Parks Commission tried to argue that the parks are intended to be a place of refuge where users can experience natural beauty without the distraction of potentially divisive expression. However, the higher court found the plaza where Bracken was protesting was a busy, partly commercial area where neither quiet nor an absence of distraction was possible.
At the same time, the court upheld the law itself on the grounds that it aims to prevent individuals and groups from using public spaces in a way that makes them unfit for others to use. When the line is crossed must be decided on a case-by-case basis and, the Appeal Court said, Bracken in no way went too far.
“The public is not required to endure personalized invective, but nothing in the sign’s message could be characterized in this way,” the Appeal Court said. “The display of the sign, despite its profanity, did not constitute the use of insulting or abusive language.”
In November 2016, Niagara police arrested Bracken, then 39, during a similar protest at Brock University, according to the student paper Brock News. He was charged with assaulting a student and making offensive racial comments.

Question: Record 27 US Congressmen travelling to India this month

A record number of 27 US Congressmen will visit India later this month, reflecting the increased efforts by American lawmakers for strengthening ties with New Delhi.

A record number of 27 US Congressmen will visit India later this month, reflecting the increased efforts by American lawmakers for strengthening ties with New Delhi. The top lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties are visiting India in two separate delegations.
WATCH WHAT ELSE IS IN THE NEWS
Describing this as an important development, Navtej Sarna, Indian Ambassador to the US, said such visit is reflective of the efforts on the part of the US to “strengthen and build” on the bipartisan support that they have in the US Congress for India-US relations. Congressional records indicate that this is the largest ever travel of US lawmakers to India.
The largest delegation of 19 Congressmen, being organised by the prestigious Aspen Institute, would be in India from February 20 to 25 with stops in New Delhi and Hyderabad.
During the visit, the lawmakers are scheduled to have a wide range of meetings from top government officials, politicians, members of the think-tank bodies and non-governmental organisations.
Another bipartisan Congressional delegation (or Codel) of eight lawmakers, being led by Bob Goodlatte, Chairman of powerful House Judiciary Committee, would be in India from February 20 to 23, visiting New Delhi and Bangalore.
The delegation includes Congressman George Holding, Co-Chair of the India Caucus, Jason Smit and Dave Trott.
All four are from the Republican party.
The Democratic members to the delegations include Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Congressmen Hank Johnson, David Ciciline and Henry Cuellar.
The visit, Sarna said would let these lawmakers first hand see for themselves, the political vibrancy of India, the economic reforms that are happening, and also for them to identify potential areas of engagement.
“This is increasingly important as the new administration comes into,” he said.
“We are very fortunate that there are two delegations totaling 27 Congressmen are travelling to India this month, which is not a small figure,” he said.
Also a delegation of Congressional staffers who are critical in preparing the background information about India for their Congressmen are visiting India during the same time.
Republican members to the Aspen delegation include Charlie Dent, Jeff Fortenberry, Andy Harris, Dave McKinley, and David Valadao.
The Democratic party lawmakers travelling to India as part of the Aspen Institute delegation are Don Beyer, Earl Blumenauer, Jim Cooper, Suzan DelBene, Anna Eshoo, Elizabeth Esty, John Garamendi, Dan Kildee, Zoe Lofgren, Alan Lowenthal, Stephen Lynch, Kathleen Rice, Jan Schakowsky, Peter Welch.
As per LegiStorm – an unofficial site, which keeps track of foreign travel by lawmakers – India currently is not the popular destination for US lawmakers.
Israel is their top destination. As per Legistorm compilation, Israel appears to be the favorite destination for US lawmakers.
India has never figured in its list of top 10 countries frequently visited by US lawmakers.
As per an unofficial compilation, since 2000, US lawmakers have made 42 trips to India, which includes 22 by the Republican Party and 19 by those from the Democratic part.
US India Business Council (USIBC) is also planning to take about 100 lawmakers to India in the next two years.
“It is important that we convey a right story about India to the both to the House and the Senate. And the best way to convey that is for them to feel firsthand what is India all about – its culture, its politics, its food. And I think, when they come back convinced that India is an important ally, its value systems are the same, the democracy, it has a press, which is as vibrant in bit countries,” Mukesh Aghi, USIBC president had said last year.

JERUSALEM — When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets Wednesday with President Trump at the White House, they'll likely focus more on Iran than controversial West Bank settlements or moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv.
"The alliance between Israel and America has always been extremely strong. It's about to get even stronger," Netanyahu said.
The Israeli prime minister said he and Trump “see eye to eye on the dangers emanating from the region but also on the opportunities.”
The meeting will set the tone for U.S.-Israeli relations under a Trump presidency following eight tension-filled years between President Obama and Netanyahu. Trump's election buoyed Israel's hopes that the U.S. would embrace many of its positions in disputes with the Palestinians, including expanded settlements and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital. Long-standing U.S. policy says the future of Jerusalem should be decided in peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
Trump changed his tone this month, saying new Israeli settlements "may not be helpful" in resolving the decades-old conflict with Palestinians. And he backed off a campaign pledge to relocate the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.
Trump has said he would love the challenge of negotiating a long-elusive peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.
Netanyahu’s most immediate concern is Iran, and he'll likely push for additional sanctions. He could tout Israel’s strong relations with Egypt and Jordan, the only two Arab states with which it has peace accords, and developing ties with Iran's regional rivals, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. Those countries could be important assets for the U.S. to fight the Islamic State and help curtail Iran's regional ambitions.
“By far the main item on the agenda is Iran,” said Dennis Ross, a senior State Department official who spearheaded Middle East initiatives under both Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
“The settlements came up only because Netanyahu’s right-wing has been pushing the issue. They put settlements on Israel’s public agenda, I don’t think otherwise it would have been there at all,” Ross said.
The U.S. imposed sanctions on Iran this month after Tehran's latest ballistic missile test, marking a more aggressive approach by the Trump administration.
Netanyahu, an outspoken critic of the Iran nuclear deal reached by the U.S. and five other Western powers, will want assurances from Trump that Russia will not help Iran open a new front on Israel’s northern border, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards building a power base that could threaten Israeli population centers.
As the Islamic State and other militants have been pushed back on the Golan Heights, where Israel and Syria share a border, Iranian troops have taken over positions that the depleted Syrian forces don’t have the manpower to cover.
After Netanyahu announced new building permits for 5,000 Israeli residential units in the West Bank on Feb. 2, White House press secretary Sean Spicer emphasized that the Middle East peace process remains "unchanged."
"While we don’t believe the existence of settlements is an impediment to peace, the construction of new settlements or the expansion of existing settlements beyond their current borders may not be helpful in achieving that goal," Spicer's statement read. "The Trump administration has not taken an official position on settlement activity and looks forward to continuing discussions" with Netanyahu.
Last week, while Netanyahu was in London meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May, Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett of the extreme-right Jewish Home party rammed through parliament a “land-grab” law that retroactively legalizes West Bank outposts.
Netanyahu, who is facing investigations into allegations of corruption, had long opposed the controversial move, but quietly announced his support of the new law upon landing back home. The drastic measure is likely to be challenged in court.

Question: Dodgers send prized prospect Buehler to Class A for now

represent this text to find a news title for it

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Walker Buehler, the Dodgers' prized pitching prospect, has been optioned to Class A Rancho Cucamonga, although the right-hander could be back in the majors this weekend.
Buehler made his first big league start on Monday night against Miami. The 23-year-old allowed four hits over five scoreless innings and struck out five, but didn't factor in the decision in the Dodgers' 2-1 win.
Manager Dave Roberts said the team wanted to keep Buehler in the same time zone and nearby so it would have the option of starting him on Saturday at San Francisco.

In a related move, the Dodgers selected the contract of right-hander Daniel Hudson from Triple-A Oklahoma City, bringing the big-league roster to 40.
Hudson spent last season with the Pirates, making a career-high 71 appearances. He was 2-7 with a 4.38 ERA. He signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers on March 30. Hudson has yet to allow a hit in 4 2/3 innings in five relief appearances with Oklahoma City.

Question: Trump warns North Korea: ‘Gotta behave’

Represent this text to find a news title for it

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence looks at the North side from Observation Post Ouellette in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), near the border village of Panmunjom, which has separated the two Koreas since the Korean War, South Korea, Monday. Viewing his adversaries in the distance, Pence traveled to the tense zone dividing North and South Korea and warned Pyongyang that after years of testing the U.S. and South Korea with its nuclear ambitions, “the era of strategic patience is over.” Lee Jin-man — The Associated Press
PANMUNJOM, South Korea >> A day after a failed North Korean missile test, U.S. President Donald Trump had a message Monday for the North’s ruler: ‘Gotta behave.” At the same time, Vice President Mike Pence warned at the Korean Demilitarized Zone that America’s “era of strategic patience is over.”
Keeping up the verbal volleying, North Korea’s deputy U.N. ambassador accused the United States of turning the Korean peninsula into “the world’s biggest hotspot” and creating “a dangerous situation in which a thermonuclear war may break out at any moment.”
Pence’s visit to the tense DMZ dividing North and South Korea came at the start of a 10-day trip to Asia and underscored U.S. commitment. It allowed the vice president to gaze at North Korean soldiers afar and stare directly across a border marked by razor wire.
As the bomber jacket-clad vice president was briefed near the military demarcation line, two North Korean soldiers watched from a short distance away, one taking multiple photographs of the American visitor.

Pence told reporters that Trump was hopeful China would use its “extraordinary levers” to pressure the North to abandon its weapons program, a day after the North’s failed missile test launch. But Pence expressed impatience with the unwillingness of the North to move toward ridding itself of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
Pointing to the quarter-century since the United States first confronted North Korea over its attempts to build nuclear weapons, he said a period of patience had followed.
“But the era of strategic patience is over,” he declared. “President Trump has made it clear that the patience of the United States and our allies in this region has run out and we want to see change. We want to see North Korea abandon its reckless path of the development of nuclear weapons, and also its continual use and testing of ballistic missiles is unacceptable.”
Trump himself appeared to reinforce the message at the White House, replying “Gotta behave” when a CNN reporter asked what message he had for North Korean leader Kin Jong Un.
In New York, the North’s deputy U.N. ambassador, Kim In Ryong, said that U.S.-South Korean military exercises being staged now are the largest-ever “aggressive war drill.” He said his country “is ready to react to any mode of war desired by the U.S.”
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking to reporters Monday evening, said he hoped there would be “no unilateral actions like those we saw recently in Syria and that the U.S. will follow the line that President Trump repeatedly voiced during the election campaign.”
Meanwhile, China made a plea for a return to negotiations. Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said tensions need to be eased on the Korean Peninsula to bring the escalating dispute there to a peaceful resolution. Lu said Beijing wants to resume the multi-party negotiations that ended in stalemate in 2009 and suggested that U.S. plans to deploy a missile defense system in South Korea were damaging its relations with China.
Late Monday, Pence reiterated in a joint statement alongside South Korean Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn that “all options are on the table” and said any use of nuclear weapons by Pyongyang would be met with “an overwhelming and effective response.” He said the American commitment to South Korea is “iron-clad and immutable.”
Noting Trump’s recent military actions in Syria and Afghanistan, Pence said, “North Korea would do well not to test his resolve” or the U.S. armed forces in the region.
The vice president earlier visited a military installation near the DMZ, Camp Bonifas, for a briefing with military leaders at the joint U.S.-South Korean installation, which is just outside the 2.5-mile wide (4 kilometers) DMZ. Under rainfall, Pence later stood a few meters from the military demarcation line outside Freedom House, gazing at the North Korean soldiers across the border, and then peered at a deforested stretch of North Korea from a lookout post in the hillside.
In Tokyo, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, speaking to a parliamentary session Monday, said: “Needless to say, diplomatic effort is important to maintain peace. But dialogue for the sake of having dialogue is meaningless.”
“We need to apply pressure on North Korea so they seriously respond to a dialogue” with the international community, he said, urging China and Russia to play more constructive roles on the issue.
Pence’s visit came amid increasing tensions and heated rhetoric on the Korean Peninsula. While the North did not conduct a nuclear test, the specter of a potential test and an escalated U.S. response has trailed Pence as he undertakes his Asian tour.
The Trump administration is hoping that China will help rein in North Korea in exchange for other considerations. Last week, Trump said he would not declare China a currency manipulator, pulling back from a campaign promise, as he looked for help from Beijing, which is the North’s dominant trade partner.

HAGÅTÑA, Guam — More than 100 Chamorro people and island residents went to the island's capital city Monday evening for a "People for Peace" rally in support of a movement to end the North Korean missile crisis targeting Guam.
Last week, North Korea announced plans to launch four intermediate-range ballistic rockets near the island by the middle of the month. President Trump said that the U.S. military is “locked and loaded” should the rogue nation attack.
Over the weekend, the president spoke with Eddie Calvo, governor of the U.S. territory, to reassure him and the island that the rest of the U.S. is behind the territory "1,000 percent."

Monday's peace rally organized by local groups, Independent Guåhan and Prutehi Litekyan: Save Ritidian, was to draw attention to the 162,000 lives at stake amid the escalating tensions between the U.S. and North Korea.
“We've always been a peaceful people, we never asked for the conflicts that we're the back drop for.” Siobhon McManus, a 22-year-old English teacher
“It’s a great chance for us to assert that perhaps we want something more peaceful,” said Michael Bevacqua, chairman of Independent Guåhan. “Donald Trump says we’ll see what happens with Guam before we decide what to do, but that might make people in Montana or Alabama feel good, but that makes us feel a little bit scared.”
With the eyes of the world currently fixated on the island, Bevacqua said the rally also serves as a chance to teach the international community about Guam and its struggles to decolonize.
“If we can’t directly affect the policies in Washington or in Pyongyang, what we can do is change the perception of us,” he said.

Sabina Flores Perez of the Save Ritidian group said real peace lies with demilitarization on Guam. If the U.S. hadn’t colonized the island, North Korea wouldn’t aim its missiles toward Guam, she said.

“Our lands were taken away to establish the military bases. It’s these same bases that are making us a target because of the military community,” said Perez.
She added that the missiles are “faced in our direction because of the U.S. presence.”
Perez also referenced the Japanese occupation of Guam, relating the past event to the current missile crisis. She said Japan was only interested in taking over Guam during World War II because it was a U.S. territory.
Siobhon McManus, a 22-year-old English teacher, attended Monday’s rally to support peace as well as stress to the U.S. and North Korea that Guam doesn’t want to have a target on its back anymore.
“We’re really tired of being caught in the cross fire of war not of our making, whether it was World War II and impending nuclear threat that may or may not happen,” she said. “We’ve always been a peaceful people, we never asked for the conflicts that we’re the back drop for.”

McManus noted that although the missile crisis has stirred anxiety on the island, the media attention from several international news outletshas given Guam’s residents a chance to show how their lives have been affected by colonization.
“Since the world kind of has a spotlight on us for now, it’s also been an opportunity for me as someone who cares about the indigenous people’s rights being Chamorro and also Palauan and being someone from Micronesia that’s saying, ‘our needs as a people have been put on the back burner for a really long time.’ And this is a rally for peace but it’s also a rally to question whether or not peace is something we can achieve with the way we’re currently treated by all of these different empires.”

Question: Fireworks set neighbor's house on fire in Pennsylvania

A porch light is melted after fireworks sparked a house fire.
Candy Woodall, York Daily Record
YORK, Pa. – Glenn Taylor didn't know what to think when he saw flames shoot through the top of his front door Tuesday night.
A retiree in his 70s, his first instinct was to go get the fire extinguisher in the garage of his York Township, Pennsylvania, home and protect his wife, who is ill.
As he worked to snuff the fire that pushed through his entryway, a neighbor ran over with a garden hose to mitigate the damage Taylor couldn't see: a shrub and front porch in flames.
"If not for the neighbor who came over with the garden hose, it could've been a lot worse," said Nathan Tracey, chief of the Goodwill Fire Co. in York, Pennsylvania.

The fire was mostly out by the time firefighters arrived, he said, but not before it consumed a large bush, cracked a window, melted two porch lights and a doorbell, and damaged the front door, soffit and exterior moulding.
All of that damage was caused by the falling remnants of a neighbor's fireworks display, authorities said.
York Area Regional Police are investigating.
Taylor didn't want to comment much, noting that insurers and police are still investigating. Also, he doesn't think talking about what happened to his home will prompt change.
"The lawmakers made their decision, and we've gotta live with it," he said.

He was referring to a Pennsylvania law signed in October that allows people to buy bigger fireworks that shoot into the air with up to 50 milligrams of explosive material. Previously, the law allowed for only ground-based fireworks and sparklers.
What happened to Taylor's home is one of many reports in the region of fires caused by fireworks.

"There's definitely concern," Tracey said. "With the change in the law, you might have more users who aren't experienced, which can lead to some dangerous situations."
The law says fireworks need to be 150 feet from a residence. They were less than 70 feet from Taylor's home, authorities said.
No injuries were reported, Tracey said.

Question: Player Watch: Hillsboro athlete Gyasi Mattison

Represent this text to find a news title for it:

"It was a great experience," Mattison said. "It was my first time playing with coach Byron (De'Vinner) and I liked it. He's a great mentor and he keeps me on my feet in just my first time meeting with him. We played a lot of good competition and it taught me to focus on my job. Just worry about what my job is."
After impressing at the Rivals camp in Nashville earlier this month, Mattison spent last weekend in Atlanta playing in the Cam Newton Classic 7 on 7 tournament for the Southern Xpress (sponsored by VFL Jaylen Reeves-Maybin) with teammates Jaydon Hill, Eric Gray, Trenton Yowe and Malachi Moore.
"It's going good," Mattison said. "I got offered by Auburn the other day. I'm up to 10 offers now so I'm looking to earn more this summer."
A name starting to garner plenty of attention on the recruiting trail is Nashville (Hillsboro) athlete Gyasi Mattison. A strong spring in both 7 on 7 tournaments and the camp circuit has generated plenty of traction for the 3-star prospect, with more schools starting to express interest.
One offer he doesn't have but hopes to earn at camp next month is Tennessee. Mattison was offered by UT’s previous staff, but Jeremy Pruitt & Co., have been monitoring him and he has the interest in the Vols.
"I have interest in Tennessee," Mattison said. "I like the culture there and the vibe there. I like the facilities at Tennessee. The stadium is amazing."
So what does the 6-foot, 180-pound Mattison feel like he offers to a future school? He's got a great belief in his game and where he can continue to improve.
"My aggressiveness and I don't crack under pressure," Mattison said. "When I have a bad play, I bounce back from it and don't let it affect me. Just how I'm a ballhawk on defense. I don't get affected by people that are bigger. I'm going to go hard all the time."
So why the difference in the attention versus six months ago? It's pretty simple really and it comes from a total buy in with he pigskin.
"I'm more drilled in and focused over the last few months," Mattison said. "I wasn't ready for the recruiting and stuff at first. I was playing both baseball and football and I wasn't sure which one I wanted to do. I finally decided that I can really have a future in football and it's been going really well now that I've decided to focus on that."
Mattison hopes to continue the upswing in momentum with his recruitment, but at some point will settle in and figure things out. He's looking for the best fit for him.
"I want to find the school that fits best for me," Mattison said. "I want to find a spot that will offer me the chance to play and help me grow both on and off the field."
Rivals.com ranks Mattison as a 3-star cornerback in the class of 2019.

Giovanni Santos and Kaleb Jasper prevailed at No. 1 doubles, as did John Kelley and Tyler Garvin at No. 2 and Yagnik Patel and Gavin Duvall at No. 3 for the Blue Devils.
Kelley, Garvin, Santos, Jasper and Elijah Alexander were singles winners.

It followed a year of staff cuts, strikes, closures and a damning Ofsted report which stripped away its “outstanding” rating.
But a year after the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) revealed Hull College Group had run up a massive £10m deficit, the organisation, which has campuses in Goole and Harrogate as well as Hull, is under new leadership.
And while bosses say there is still much to do to claw back the cash, work to revolutionise the college into “one the city deserves” is headed in the right direction.
“We have a long way to go but we have greenshoots,” says Michelle Swithenbank, 36, who was appointed chief executive of the Group in June.
(Image: Jerome Ellerby)
“The city deserves to have a strong college which can deliver the qualifications people need to get into work in the area. We want to be that college.
“That is what we are working to achieve.
“We want Hull to be self-sufficient, providing an education for people in Hull which will enable them to get those jobs locally.”
One of the most visual changes on the cards will be a complete rebrand within the next year, to match a new vision, structure, and updated curriculum offer.
(Image: Jerome Ellerby)
Like all post-16 colleges in the area, Hull College was part of the Department for Education’s Area Review last autumn and, according to a report published in August, is now under a “fresh start arrangement”.
“It means we have the opportunity to apply for funding to enable us to deliver a financial recovery,” explains Miss Swithenbank.

“We have now prepared a recovery plan and, subject to getting the required funds from the Government, we’ll be bringing those changes into effect.”
Their recovery plan focuses on the areas of improvement required by the SFA, including:
leadership and governance
Tighter control over finances and accounts
curriculum offer
innovation in marketing
IT infrastructure and data systems
Process and policies
Miss Swithenbank did not rule out further cuts – both to staffing and courses – but said those decisions could only be taken as part of the Group’s ongoing, long-term overhaul.
(Image: Jerome Ellerby)
“It’s not just a matter of management coming in and making sweeping decisions,” she said.
“Everyone in every single team in the group is currently involved with evaluating their processes, establishing whether the way we work could be more efficient.”
Other practical changes for the future include changing what courses people can study at the college.
“We need to improve our curriculum offer to reflect the introduction of the new T-levels and other vocational courses,” said Miss Swithenbank.
(Image: Simon Renilson)
“We’re working very closely with key employers to make sure we are offering courses which suit the job market in Hull and make sure our students are equipped with the qualifications they actually need.
“We’ll be re-designing courses so they are bespoke to what the area needs.
"So, for example, we are speaking to Hull City Council about a programme we can put in place for youngsters not in education, employment or training, and working with the NHS to tailor our health and social care courses.”
(Image: Jerome Ellerby)
Miss Swithenbank said while changes cannot happen overnight, the college is on the road to a major turn-around in fortunes.
“There are going to be a lot of changes,” she said, “but it is an exciting time.
“I just want Hull College to be the best it can be.”
Time Line Hull College November 2015 - November 2017 November 2015 Hull College loses ‘outstanding’ Ofsted rating and is graded ‘good’ with aspects ‘requiring improvement’ August 2016 Hull College gets below average results following the summer exams September 2016 The College asks the Education and Skills Funding Agency for Emergency Funding Support.

November 2017 FE Commissioner reports more positive progress in official stock-take meeting.
Senior Leadership Team
One of the most significant changes which has already been introduced at the Group is the restructure of the leadership team.
“We have changed the portfolios of the senior leadership team to make them more streamlined,” says Miss Swithenbank.
“For instance our director for Quality and Compliance is also responsible for the data, since he needs the data to report on quality and compliance anyway.”
The new leadership team includes:
Michelle Swithenbank - Chief Executive Officer
John Morgans – Project Director
James Tabor – Project Manager
Caron Wright –Campus Principal Goole College
Debra Forsythe-Conroy –Campus Principal Harrogate College
Kim Wilcox –Campus Principal Hull College

About Michelle

A mum-of-three, Michelle originally worked as a nurse before she started teaching overseas nurses where she became more interested in education.
She later helped transform Wolverhampton College from an ‘inadequate’ financial health grading to ‘good’ and Ofsted “Requires improvement” to “Good” before becoming vice principal for curriculum at Grimsby Institute.
She joined Hull College Group in January as deputy chief executive, and became interim chief executive after the FE Commissioner report prompted CEO Gary Warke’s departure in February.
She was appointed chief executive in June.

Question: Congress ushers in new era of all-Republican rule

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress ushers in a new era of all-Republican rule.
On Tuesday at noon, with plenty of pomp and pageantry, members of the 115th Congress will be sworn in, with an emboldened GOP intent on unraveling eight years of President Barack Obama’s Democratic agenda and targeting massive legacy programs from Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson such as Social Security and Medicare.
In the election, Republicans kept their tight grip on the House and outmaneuvered the Democrats for a slim majority in the Senate. In less than three weeks, on the West Front of the Capitol, Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the presidential oath to Donald Trump, the GOP’s newfound ally.
First up for Republicans is repeal and delay of the health care law, expediting the process for scrapping Obama’s major overhaul but holding off on some changes for up to four years. The tax code is in the cross-hairs. Conservatives want to scuttle rules on the environment and undo financial regulations created in the aftermath of the 2008 economic meltdown, arguing they are too onerous for businesses to thrive.
The only obstacle to the far-reaching conservative agenda will be Senate Democrats who hold the power to filibuster legislation, but even that has its political limitations. Twenty-three Democrats are up for re-election in 2018, including 10 from states Trump won, and they could break ranks and side with the GOP.
Here are a few things to know about Congress:
___
BY THE NUMBERS
Vice President Joe Biden, in one of his final official acts, will administer the oath to 27 returning senators and seven new ones. Republicans will have a 52-48 advantage in the Senate, which remains predominantly a bastion of white men.
There will be 21 women, of whom 16 are Democrats and five, Republicans; three African Americans, including California’s new Democratic senator Kamala Harris, and four Hispanics, including Nevada’s new Democratic senator Catherine Cortez Masto.
Across the Capitol, the House is expected to re-elect Rep. Paul Ryan as Speaker, with all the campaign-season recriminations involving the Wisconsin Republican and Trump largely erased by GOP wins. Once sworn in, Ryan will then administer the oath to the House members.
The GOP will hold a hefty 241-194 majority in the House, including 52 freshmen — 27 Republicans, including Wyoming’s Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, and 25 Democrats.
___
CONFIRMING THE CABINET
The Senate will exercise its advice and consent role and consider nominations of 15 department secretaries and six people tapped by Trump to lead agencies or serve in roles with Cabinet-level status, such as the EPA and U.N. ambassador.
Democrats won’t make it easy.
Several in the party have been highly critical of several of Trump’s choices, from Rick Perry, who forgot during the 2012 presidential campaign that the Energy Department was the one he wanted to eliminate, to Treasury pick Steve Mnuchin, the former Goldman Sachs executive whom Democrats have dubbed the “foreclosure king” for his stake in OneWest Bank that profited from the foreclosure crisis.
Others nominees, such as retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis for defense secretary, should easily win confirmation. First, though, Congress must pass a law allowing the former military man to serve in a civilian post.
There is a limit to what Democrats can do. Rules changes in 2013 allow some nominees, including Cabinet picks, to be confirmed with a simple majority, preventing Democrats from demanding 60 votes to move forward.
___
SUPREME COURT VACANCY
Adding to the drama of the new Congress will be high-profile confirmation hearings for Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court.
Justice Antonin Scalia died last February and Republicans refused to consider Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, insisting that the next president should fill the high court vacancy that’s now lasted more than 10 months.
Trump released a list of potential choices during the campaign that included Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who clerked for Justice Samuel Alito. Since the election, the president-elect also has met with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who clerked for former Chief Justice William Rehnquist, prompting talk about a possible nomination for the onetime presidential rival.
Trump has said he wants to nominate a justice who would help overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion. Cruz and Lee would fulfill that pledge.
___
NEW FACE IN LEADERSHIP
The point man for Senate Democrats is Brooklyn-born Chuck Schumer, who will be a chief antagonist to fellow New Yorker Trump.
Schumer succeeds Nevada’s Harry Reid, who retired after five terms, and joins Congress’ top leaders — Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Speaker Ryan — in what is certain to be tough negotiations next year on spending and policies.
___
RUSSIAN HACKING
The first public hearing on the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia interfered in the U.S. election is Thursday in the Senate Armed Services Committee, with James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, set to testify. Expect individual panels to investigate, but not a special, high-profile select committee. McConnell has rejected that bipartisan call.

"I will work to be a governor of all of North Carolina," Cooper said in brief remarks early Sunday morning. "I love this state. It is the place where I grew up, it is the place where I have worked and worshiped and studied. It is the place I have lived all of my life and I recognize the solemn duty that has been placed upon me and the opportunity that the people of this state have given to me."
Getting his administration in place will be his first major challenge, and the Republican-led General Assembly has made that more difficult by passing a law requiring Senate confirmation of his nominees to lead state agencies such as Health and Human Services, Public Safety and Transportation.
A Superior Court judge issued a temporary restraining order Friday to stop a state law the Republican-led General Assembly passed two weeks ago to change the structure of North Carolina's state and county boards of elections from taking effect Sunday.
The order came hours after incoming Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper on Friday filed a legal challenge to the law, which rolls the state's Board of Elections, Ethics Commission and a division of the Secretary of State's Office that oversees compliance with lobbying laws into a single independent agency run by an eight-member board split evenly between Republicans and Democrats.
Judge Donald Stephens has set a Jan. 5 hearing to determine whether the law should be put on hold indefinitely until courts can determine whether it's constitutional. Under Senate Bill 4, lawmakers would appoint four of the eight members of the new board, with the governor appointing the other four, and a super-majority of six votes among board members would be needed to exercise most of the board's oversight powers, including issuing subpoenas or calling new elections.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack, in which a gunman opened fire with an AK-47 in the crowded club, much like the attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., in June. The Turkish government pointed the finger at the militant group Islamic State, which has killed more than 100 people in Turkey over the last year and a half. The attack on the Reina nightclub appeared different from the group’s usual operations, however. Islamic State almost always sends its attackers with a suicide vest, said Gareth Jenkins, an Istanbul-based security analyst with the Silk Road Institute. If Islamic State did carry out the New Year's attack, it was an anomaly because the gunman was apparently planning to escape with his life.
The Obama administration on Thursday announced its retaliation for Russian efforts to interfere with the US presidential election, ordering sweeping new sanctions that included the expulsion of 35 Russians. Syria ceasefire appears to hold after rivals sign Russia-backed deal Read more US intelligence services believe Russia ordered cyber-attacks on the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Hillary Clinton’s campaign and other political organizations, in an attempt to influence the election in favor of the Republican candidate, Donald Trump.
In a statement issued two weeks after the president said he would respond to cyber-attacks by Moscow “at a time and place of our choosing”, Obama said Americans should “be alarmed by Russia’s actions” and pledged further action. “I have issued an executive order that provides additional authority for responding to certain cyber activity that seeks to interfere with or undermine our election processes and institutions, or those of our allies or partners,” Obama said in the statement, released while he was vacationing with his family in Hawaii.
Annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program
Ben Canada, Budget and Management Services
This is a hearing to provide an opportunity for the public to provide input as to what should be included in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 Budget and Capital Improvement Program.
Following the hearing, the comments should be referred to administration for
consideration when preparing the proposed budget.
Good morning, happy New Year.Not much has changed; we're still in a global death spiral marked by the failures of late capitalism, the current world order, and public trust of institutions such as the government and the media, which has manifested itself in the form of a Donald Trump presidency and outright rejection of establishment politicians all across the Western world. Along with further climate destabilization caused by global warming, these problems will surely be exacerbated over the next year, and likely, at least the next four.But hey, look on the brightside: Pat McCrory isn't the damn governor anymore.In a farewell video, Pat McCrory said his accomplishments were "greater than any administration over the past twenty-five years."Whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy.On Wednesday, the State Board of Education sued to stop changes from going into effect that would hand over control of some of its authority to new Superintendent of Public Instruction Mark Johnson.On Friday, Cooper announced legal actions of his own, to stop changes from going into effect at the state Board of Elections, and a judge issued a temporary restraining order.At the first evening session of the year for the Raleigh City Council tomorrow night, the public will be able to provide input as to what should be included in next year's budget.That's all for today. Have a good one.

Question: Wisconsin property owners appeal ruling in Foxconn lawsuit

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. — Property owners in southeastern Wisconsin who believe they won’t be fully compensated for land Foxconn Technology Group needs to build a $10 billion plant are appealing a ruling dismissing their case.
A dozen property owners filed a federal lawsuit in January alleging the village of Mount Pleasant’s use of eminent domain is unconstitutional because it is for private rather than public benefit. They say the offers for their properties are too low.
The village is acquiring 18 acres from landowners for the Foxconn complex.
The lawsuit alleged the village was planning to label some properties as blighted, which the property owners said would violate their Fifth Amendment rights.
Judge Lynn Adelman of the U.S. Eastern District of Wisconsin dismissed the suit this month, calling it “not cognizable.”
“That defendants offered to pay some property owners substantially more than others to acquire their properties is hardly ‘oppressive’ in any actionable sense,” Adelman wrote. “The facts alleged in the operative complaint do not come close to allowing me to infer that defendants violated it.”
The property owners’ attorney, Erik Olsen, filed the appeal Tuesday, The Journal Times reported.
The legal appeal won’t stop the project, said Alan Marcuvitz, an attorney for the village.
“We do not believe there is any merit to this lawsuit, which was confirmed in the decision by the U.S. District Court, granting the village’s motion to dismiss the case,” Marcuvitz said in a statement. “We are confident that the Appeals Court will reach the same conclusion.”

Question: Sunday morning crash south of Waterloo

Emergency personnel responded shortly after 5:30 a.m. Sunday to a vehicle crash on Route 3 about a half mile north of Crook Drive south of Waterloo.
A male driving a BMW 335I with Missouri plates left the roadway on a curve at a high rate of speed, taking out multiple small apple and walnut trees and a mailbox before coming to rest on the Adrian Crook farm. The BMW, which sustained major damage, was unoccupied upon the arrival of Monroe County Sheriff’s Department, Monroe County EMS and Waterloo Fire Department personnel.
A search for the driver ensued, and was terminated about an hour later when a neighbor observed a white male walking around aimlessly about 300 yards from the crash scene. The neighbor reported that the man, later identified as Anthony J. Krajca, 23, of Missouri, seemed disoriented, had blood on his arm, and admitted to being the driver. The neighbor then escorted Krajca to emergency personnel at the scene.
Krajca was transported by ambulance to St. Anthony’s Medical Center in St. Louis County for treatment of unspecified injuries. The crash remains under investigation.

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Authorities say a 13-year-old boy is accused of fatally shooting a 14-year-old boy after the victim challenged his gang affiliation.
Local media reports that court documents accuse the suspect of telling the victim he didn’t like his blue shoes while they were at school on Wednesday, and then flashing a gun and walking away.
Court documents state that later in the day, the victim and a friend were walking along a path behind an apartment building when they ran into the suspect.
The 13-year-old is then accused of shooting the 14-year-old after he challenged his gang affiliation.
The victim, identified as David Sandoval-Hilarios, later died at a hospital.
Authorities say the suspect told them he got the gun from a 12-year-old friend.
The boy was arrested for investigation of second-degree murder.

Question: Work Can Be Stressful, Dangerous And Sometimes Great

If you think your job is more stressful than it should be, you're not alone.
Americans work hard, and it takes a physical and mental toll, not to mention that it frequently cuts into personal time, according to a comprehensive survey on working conditions the nonpartisan RAND Corporation published Monday. But having a good boss and good friends on the job can make work feel less taxing.
In 2015, RAND researchers, along with Harvard Medical School and the University of California, Los Angeles, began collecting data from over 3,000 people from all income and education levels who work or have worked in all types of jobs. What they discovered about how we work may help inform policymakers looking to grow the economy and employers looking to retain the best workers.
This kind of data, examining workplace conditions in the U.S., has not been collected for decades. "We have excellent data on wages, on training ... but we don't know much about the conditions of work," says Nicole Maestas, an economist and associate health care policy professor at Harvard Medical School who is the lead researcher on this study.
What the researchers found was that more than 1 in 4 Americans surveyed say they don't have enough time to do their jobs, with about half of Americans reporting that they do some work in their free time. This was most prevalent among white-collar workers. Two-thirds of all workers say they frequently work under tight deadlines or at high speed.
In addition, 1 in 5 reported experiencing verbal abuse, threats, humiliating behavior or unwanted sexual attention at work in the past month; or they experienced bullying, harassment or sexual harassment in the past year.
"One thing that really struck me was the high prevalence of hostile social interactions at work," says Maestas. Her survey found that while such interactions were seen across the board, verbal abuse was much more common in customer service jobs and experienced at the highest rates among men who did not graduate from college. Younger women and women of "prime age," defined as 35-49, experienced the most unwanted sexual attention.
But people who have "good" bosses — or bosses who respect them, praise them, work with them and give feedback — were less likely to have workers who reported verbal or physical threats, Maestra notes.
"Maybe bad bosses are part of the problem," she says, when it comes to a hostile work environment.
American workers feel, by and large, that they have a reasonable amount of autonomy on the job and are confident in their skills. Still, many workers, particularly those in service jobs and without a college degree, have little control over their work schedules. Some experience schedule changes the day of work or the day before.
New York and San Francisco have passed laws requiring employers to make schedules more predictable, and Oregon may become the first state to require at least a week's notice of duty hours for certain service jobs so employees can plan doctors' appointments and child care and get to their second jobs.
Despite multiple studies showing the benefits of telecommuting, it is still a rare option for many workers. The RAND survey found that 78 percent of employees are required to show up at their workplaces during regular business hours.
No matter where we work, friendships play an important role in how we perceive our jobs. Sixty-one percent of women agree with the statement "I have very good friends at work," while 53 percent of men agreed.
While the emotional support helps, many jobs are simply tough on the body. Seventy-five percent of people surveyed report intense or repetitive physical exertion on the job at least 25 percent of the time. While workers who don't have a college education report greater physical challenges on the job — think health care aides and construction workers — college-educated and older workers face significant physical challenges as well, particularly in the medical and sales fields where they are lifting heavy items and on their feet most of the day.
The physical exertion of their jobs may be why some older Americans retire early. It's also a prime consideration for many seniors who say they would consider going back to work for the "right" job, Maestas says.
"We've got more people retiring than ever, and there just aren't enough younger workers to both release retirees and grow the economy," she says, so employers should take notice of workplace conditions if they want to retain older, experienced workers.
Additionally, 55 percent of workers report they are exposed to physical risks like smoke, fumes, infectious materials, extreme temperatures and vibrations from hand tools about 25 percent of the time. "That was strikingly high," Maestas says.
Saba Waheed, the research director at UCLA's Labor Center who was not involved in the study, says she was also surprised by the extent of the health and safety challenges revealed in the survey.
"We have a lot of great laws, but we need better enforcement," she says.
While she largely praises the survey's comprehensiveness, Waheed says she would have like to see how workers fared along hourly versus non-hourly lines, as well as the experiences reported by part-time versus full-time workers. "I would really love to see race in here," she says, as well.
Maestas says that the survey did not break down workers by race because doing so would have resulted in numbers too small to be statistically significant.
The American Working Conditions Survey is based on a European workplace survey conducted every five years. Maestas and her team plan to compare the U.S. data with European data in 2018.
The survey was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Social Security Administration.

Question: Young Astronaut Hopeful Gets NASA Tour Of His (Space) Dreams

Sixteen-year-old Murad Rahimov peered down into a gigantic space he had only dreamed about before: the world's largest clean room, kept scrupulously free of any dust or contamination, where NASA assembles and tests spacecraft before launch.
Murad's eyes gleamed and a smile played on his face as he took it all in — the scientists encased in sterile white suits; the replica of the massive new space telescope, the most powerful ever built, that will study the first galaxies born after the Big Bang.
Murad is obsessed with space. He has been ever since he was three, back in his home country Uzbekistan. His young imagination was sparked when his aunt gave him a picture book about space, and he couldn't stop looking at the images of the solar system. Soon after, he told his parents his dream: He wanted to become an astronaut and work for NASA.
On this recent day, he was getting a private tour of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., thanks to an NPR listener who heard about Murad's passion for space in a story that aired earlier this year. In January, NPR profiled the Rahimov family on the day they became naturalized as U.S. citizens. The Rahimovs immigrated to the U.S. from Uzbekistan in 2010, when Murad was nine. When they first landed in Kansas City, Murad spoke no English. Now, heading into his junior year of high school, he's on an accelerated track, taking extra classes in the summer and packing his schedule with AP courses.
Listener Aaron Schnittman heard that story on the radio, and his ears perked up when he heard that Murad's goal is to work for NASA. He emailed NPR that same day, that his brother is a research astronomer working for NASA at Goddard. "I think it would be a cool follow up to connect the son to my brother and help him make the connections needed to pursue studies in astronomy," he wrote.
Cool, indeed. The connection was made, emails were exchanged, and last week, at the invitation of Jeremy Schnittman, Murad and his mother, Limara Rahimova, made the trip to Goddard outside Washington, D.C. Schnittman, an astrophysicist who specializes in black holes, spent several hours showing the Rahimovs the inner workings of the space flight center and sharing his enthusiasm for space science.
Murad was clearly in his element, sporting a t-shirt with a picture of the Millennium Falcon spaceship from Star Wars, and a line from the movie: "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy."
He and his mother got to see the giant cryo-vac chamber where spacecraft are tested to find out if they'll withstand the extreme temperatures of space. They walked inside the acoustic chamber that blasts spacecraft with earsplitting sound to simulate the vibration of launch. They toured the laser lab where scientists are fine-tuning measurements to detect gravitational waves. "Amazing," Murad marveled.
Back in his office, ("black hole central," as he calls it) Schnittman talked with Murad about his research into how light gets bent around black holes. Naturally, they both share a hero in Albert Einstein, whose photo Schnittman keeps pinned above his desk. "It's remarkable," Schnittman said. "It's over 100 years since Einstein did all of this stuff, and still, everything is Einstein. Einstein, Einstein, Einstein."
When Murad mused about the possibilities of time travel, Schnittman sounded optimistic. "It's really not that much of a stretch to say that we're one step closer to time travel," he told Murad. "This is something that Einstein predicted 100 years ago. According to the theory, the equations, time travel should be possible. The trick is just building it and getting it to work, but as far as we can tell, there's no rule against it."
The astrophysicist and the would-be astronaut parted ways with the promise to stay in touch.
Later Murad said he loves science because it shows "the sheer awesomeness, the sheer scale of how insignificant and alone we are in the universe. All these petty fights that people have between themselves, they are just insignificant. When you start thinking about space, you get lost in the vastness of it. That's what captivates me the most."
Now that he's a U.S. citizen, he believes his dream of becoming an astronaut is more within reach. He and his brother automatically became citizens when their parents did. Murad was at school the day they took the oath: "I came home and looked at my parents, and felt all this pride," he said. "You could sense that something has changed. They were smiling from ear to ear."
For his mother, Limara, becoming a U.S. citizen has grounded her in a new way. "I felt before like I'm between countries," she said. "But now I feel like I'm staying ...both my feet here in this land."
Limara works at a school, and each morning they all stand for the pledge of allegiance. Before, she said, "it didn't touch me. But now, yes! And I know what each word in the pledge of allegiance means. And it means, for me, a lot."
As for Murad? The rising high school junior has his sights set on going to Cal Tech, and on the Mars mission he dreams of one day leading. "Some people, they tell me to try to get a real job," he said, "of maybe not shooting so high. But nah. I'm shooting for it. I'm gonna chase my dreams."
Meantime, there's a celestial show about to happen, one he's been excited about for years: the total solar eclipse.
Murad's hometown, Kansas City, is a perfect spot to see it: right in the path of totality.
Next Monday he will be outside, watching in awe as the moon slides over the sun, and dreaming big dreams of space.

Question: Navigating The 'Aisle Of Confusion' To Whiten Your Teeth

Walk down the aisle of your local pharmacy or grocery store and you'll be bombarded by a dizzying array of bleaching products, from gels and strips to paint-on bleach.
Cosmetic tooth bleaching is a $3.2 billion global industry, according to market analysts, and it's getting bigger fast. It's easy to see why. Strikingly white, bright smiles dominate TV and social media, and people tend to prefer the bright teeth of youth rather than those that have been yellowed by trauma or age.
But if you decide that you, too, want a brighter smile, it's hard to know where to start.
"I'm a dentist, but I'm also a consumer and I can certainly get confused by all the products," says Ruchi Sahota who practices in Fremont, Calif. A colleague of hers describes the tooth product aisle in stores as the "dental aisle of confusion," because there are so many options. "You can easily get bewildered standing there trying to figure out which option is the best," she says.
The dilemma isn't helped by regulators. Tooth whitening products don't need approval from the Food and Drug Administration before hitting the market, because the agency considers them "cosmetic," a designation that's much more lightly regulated than drugs. And, the FDA says it has not determined that any ingredients contained in currently marketed products are unsafe.
The American Dental Association does offer some guidance in choosing a bleaching product — its ADA seal of acceptance. "The seal is rooted in science," says chemist Jamie Spomer, director of the ADA's seal of acceptance program; she notes that when a manufacturer applies for the seal, an independent panel of dentists analyzes the company's data and sometimes performs studies of their own.
The seal is a "symbol that an independent panel reviewed and approved the product for its safety and effectiveness," Spomer says. Many toothpastes carry the ADA seal. So far only one over-the-counter-bleaching product does — Crest 3D White Glamorous White Whitestrips.
Even so, Sahota says many over-the-counter products that don't carry the seal can still be effective if used as directed. Most cause some tooth sensitivity during the bleaching process, but that goes away once the process is complete, she says. Depending on which product is used, bleaching can take anywhere from two to six weeks.
And, if you're not careful, Sahota says the products can leak onto the gums, causing inflammation and "extra sensitivity" to pressure, temperature and touch.
A safer but more costly option might be to buy a custom-made tray from your dentist, Sahota says. Unlike the one-size-fits-all trays sold over the counter, a dentist makes the tray "just for you" she says.
The tray hugs the teeth and ensures the gel is kept where it should be and is evenly applied. The kits cost about $400; this at-home whitening process can take up to four weeks, depending on how stained the teeth are to begin with. Generally, the trays are worn for one or two hours a day.
If you want an even faster route, you'll have to pay more. Bleaching in the dental office can run more than $1,000, but results are quick and more dramatic. Dentists use bleaching gels that rely on high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (up to 40 percent hydrogen peroxide, compared to a 5 to 6 percent concentration in drugstore kits and a 10 to 15 percent solution in the home-kits from dentists).
So the whole process in the dentist's office can take just an hour or two to complete. And because the peroxide concentrations used there are much higher, the results can be many shades lighter than with take-home kits and over-the-counter products.
An important caveat: Insurance companies consider in-office teeth whitening "cosmetic" so the procedures are almost never covered.
Nonetheless, more Americans are opting for in-office whitening. In 2015, in-office bleaching procedures rose 29 percent over the year before, according to an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey. And there's at least a little evidence that the whiter the smile the more attractive the person – in a 2012 study both men and women said they prefer white teeth when choosing a mate.
But go to the dentist before you start bleaching, says Ada Cooper, a New York City dentist.
"Tooth discoloration can be caused by cavities and other oral problems," she says. "It's more important to maintain healthy teeth."
It's also important to note that not all stains are the same. Some are mostly on the surface of the teeth and come from consuming lots of dark colored liquids like coffee, tea and red wine, as well as foods with vibrant yellow spices like turmeric. The tar and nicotine from cigarettes are also huge culprits. Often surface stains can be diminished by routine brushing, flossing and biannual professional cleaning in the dentist's office.
Unfortunately, there are deeper stains you just can't avoid by being careful about what you eat and drink. These come with aging and years of chewing, which causes millions of tiny cracks in the outer enamel of the tooth. These cracks can fill up with stain. On top of that, the thinning enamel can allow the yellow core of the tooth to become more visible. Grinding teeth at night and brushing too hard can also weaken and thin tooth enamel. Bleaching agents can penetrate these deeper stains and turn the tooth whiter — typically two to seven shades lighter.
There are some discolorations that just can't be bleached away. Trauma to a tooth — such as a chip or break — can also permanently discolor it from the inside, and stains from ingesting the antibiotic tetracycline or large amounts of fluoride are also permanent. In these cases, the only option for whiter teeth is a crown or veneer.
All types of bleaching — whether over-the-counter, take-home kits or in the dental office — are temporary, requiring touch-ups at some point. As for homespun remedies promoted online, in social media and in magazines as being "natural whitening" agents (including charcoal, baking soda or lemon juice), the ADA says there is no evidence these methods work.

Question: Sammut hoping for super start to racing season on home track

Represent this text to find a news title for it!

Mark Sammut reached an important ISMA Supermodified summit last year.
He zoomed into victory lane at Delaware Speedway, ending a two decade-and-change wait to celebrate at his home track.
“Probably the highlight of my supermodified career, big-time,” the veteran driver of the No. 78 Art Currie-sponsored open-wheel ride recalled. “We won a big race at Sandusky, Ohio, and we won in Oswego, (N.Y.,) in the past, but to win here at home in front of everybody, especially in an event called the Harvey Lennox Memorial — I considered Harv a great friend — you can’t do much better than that, really.”
No chance Sammut has the patience to endure another 21 years before the next supers home win. He has two shots this season: Friday, and again Aug. 18, a pair of dates that rank as top draws for the local half-mile oval.
AT THE TRACK Delaware Speedway schedule Friday: ISMA Supermodifieds, plus Lucas Oil Canadian Vintage Modifieds and Ontario Pro Challenge Series. Tickets: Adults ($40); Seniors: $35, Students, $10, Kids 6-12, $3 and kids under 6 free (hearing protection strongly recommended) More info: www.delawarespeedway.com or www.ismasupers.com
“I hope I can win again,” he said. “That would be the plan. Delaware is real race-y. It has long straightaways and tight ends, so you have to get on the brakes around the end and the car has to hook up to the corners. Except for Sandusky, which is similar, that’s not quite as critical on other tracks.”
This first 50-lap stop is the default season opener after threat of weather washed out a New Hampshire event, which has since been bumped back to June 23. The racers won’t have much time to recover with a second show three hours down the road in Lancaster, N.Y., Saturday night.
“That’s our schedule about half of the time, running twice the same weekend,” Sammut said. “Sometimes, it’s at the same track and others are like this one. It can make for a long trip, especially when we’re out on the east coast and you have a 10- to 12-hour drive to the first track, then another one the next day that is as far or further than Lancaster is from Delaware.
“It can make for a rough night, if you have trouble in the first race.”
On the flip side, you can get a roaring start in the points race if you show well early. There’s some solid money on the line, too.
A new $7,000 point fund bonus established exclusively for the three Canadian races on tour (the supers are also at Jukasa, formerly Cayuga, in mid-July) has been named in honour of Lennox, the hall of famer who passed away four years ago. The individual prizes, which range from $3,000 to $700, will be awarded to the top five car owners based on points earned in Canada this year.
Sammut’s downtown business — Murray’s Automatic Transmission Centre — and London’s Arctic Equipment Manufacturing teamed with Corr/Pak Merchandising and Patco Transportation to put up the dough.
ISMA also is handing out a $1,000 guarantee just to start both ends of this weekend’s doubleheader. Car counts are crucial and Sammut knows how valuable it is to have a race or two in your own backyard when you’re clicking 20,000-plus kilometres on the odometer each season.
“The supers used to run at Delaware years and years ago, so there’s history,” he said. “They weren’t running there when we got involved, but it’s been a great race for both the track and for ISMA. We push for it and I’m sure the locals in it adds a bit of hype, but I’d have to think at least now, even if we weren’t around, they would still be coming here.
“This is the fastest oval short track car you can find and normally, you’ll see a lot more passing than you do with full-fendered cars. It makes for a good show.”
And if Sammut strings together enough quality ones, he’ll be moving quickly up the next mountain on his list.
“Ideally, it would be to win the points title,” he said. “It’s never easy. You’ve got at least 15 good cars who have the same idea as you.”
His best finish was second overall in 2009. He’s been third a few times, too.
Last year, he was in contention until he failed to finish the final three races.
“We ended up seventh,” Sammut said. “We had some engine troubles toward the end of the year. It makes it pretty tough because we were running top five for quite a while.
“This year, hopefully, we get to a good start and take it from there.”
Head straight for the top, but watch those tight Delaware turns.
