Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Chris Cornell is Positive . Since you mentioned The Promise I wanted to tell you that when I interviewed Chris Cornell about his song for the film shortly before his death he said he consulted you to make sure he got the tone right. What do you remember about that?
We were both friends with [producer] Eric Esrailian and we were both giving him advice on the music. He was asking for support. So Chris and I became closer as friends because of The Promise. At one point I think they wanted us to do the main theme music together and then they realized they were going to need two end tracks. So he did the title track and I did this beautiful classical-jazz rendition of an old Armenian folk song called "Sari Siroun Yar." But he sent me an email and he goes "What do you think?" And I loved it. I told him "It's really emotional and you're bringing everything out." He made a great connection in the song. The most important thing to realize about the Armenian Genocide is not just what happened 100 years ago but how it's relevant today because that shit's happening now. That's what he did with the song; he made that connection. I was really grateful for that.
And I'm a huge fan of Soundgarden and Chris Cornell growing up. And he knows that [laughs]. We became friends but I've still always been his fan you know? So his support on the film was incredibly important.
He was like that man. He was very gracious with his emotions his time. He was careful and conscientious. He did a great job in not just the music but supporting it whether it's interviews or TV specials with the song and talking about it and the need to take care of survivors that are around today in Syria and around the world. Him and his wife Vicky have a charity and I had the honor a few weeks back of giving Vicky in Chris ' name a human rights award from Human Rights Watch at their yearly gala in Los Angeles. Matt Cameron and Kim Thayil were there. It was very special.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Paul Khairy is Negative . The excitement of sports is likely responsible for the observed increases in heart rate said study author Dr. Paul Khairy a cardiologist at the Montreal Heart Institute.
But the new study is the first to demonstrate that the ambience of a live game â being surrounded by cheering fans being closer to the action and experiencing an increased level of engagement â may all contribute to the heightened emotional stress response in fans Khairy told Live Science.
In the study the heart rates of fans who watched a hockey game in person increased by 110 percent on average from their resting heart rates. That's comparable to the increase you'd see in someone running jumping rope or doing any other vigorous form of exercise Khairy said.
Fans who watched the same game on TV had a 75 percent increase in their heart rates on average which is similar to the heart rates seen with moderate physical activity such as a casual bike ride Khairy noted.
Surprisingly a person's interest in the sport and engagement as a fan were not linked to changes in heart rate during the game Khairy said. However he added that he suspects there might have been a different result if researchers had developed their own way to measure passion in hockey fans rather than adapting a tool originally designed for soccer spectators.
Although fans watching any sport can experience a similar amount of excitement as was observed in this group of hockey enthusiasts these results may not apply to other sports Khairy said. There are too many elements that differ among sports â such as the pace of the game a fan's emotional attachment to a team and even the number of high-intensity moments â that prevent researchers from making similar generalizations he said.
A fan's emotional reaction to a game can be intense Khairy said and that could trigger cardiovascular problems.
Fans who experience cardiac symptoms during a game should seek immediate medical attention rather than waiting for a convenient moment such as in-between periods Khairy said. Many arenas and ice rinks have cardiac defibrillators on hand as well as people trained in using them he added.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jeremy Lin is Negative . Jeremy Lin is an Asian-American NBA player for the Brooklyn Nets and he has dreadlocks. Most people simply found that eye-catching but one former player took it a step further.
Former Nets forward Kenyon Martin tore into Lin in an Instagram video Wednesday for the dreadlocks but Lin âs response showed class and the composure of someone who has been judged for being an Asian in a predominantly black league for years.
âDo I need to remind this damn boy that his last name Lin?â Martin said. âLike come on man. Letâs stop with these people. There is no way possible he wouldâve made it on one of our teams with that bulls**t on his head. âCome on man somebody need to tell him like âalright bro we get it. You wanna be black.â Like we get it. But your last name is Lin â Martin continued.
Lin âs response
Lin avoided taking any direct shots at Martin in his reply but did point out one glaring bit of hypocrisy in Martinâs cultural appropriation accusation.
Lin posted this in an Instagram comment (emphasis added):
Martin a black man was accusing Lin of trying to be black because of his hair while Martin himself has tattoos of Chinese lettering on his forearm.
Lin explained his reasons for his unique hairstyle choice in a column on The Playersâ Tribune.
âBut I liked how the process of changing my look actually made me feel more like myself again. I realized that in the years since Linsanity I had spent a lot of time in a box worrying about other peopleâs opinions on what I should and shouldnât be doing. I wanted to stop basing my decisions so much on what strangers or critics might say about me . It was cool how something as simple as how I wore my hair could pull me out of my comfort zone and make me feel more free.â
Lin a Harvard graduate who made it to the NBA despite being undrafted enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame with the New York Knicks followed by an injury-ridden fall from grace.

Input: Consider Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitt Romney is Negative . But some are wondering out loud if Romney 's fate will be somewhat more embarrassing - suggesting he might be this generation 's Michael Dukakis , who was roundly beaten by George H.W. Bush in 1988 .
Fading Memory : Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney taking the stage to concede his quest for the presidency , at the Boston Convention Center in Boston .
One man who has hinted that Romney 's vast experience in the private business world could be put to use for the economy is President Obama himself .
` There are certain aspects of Governor Romney 's record and his ideas that I think could be very helpful , ' Obama said during his first post-election news conference on Wednesday .
In a post-election conference call with some of his key donors on Wednesday , Romney said that he had lost because the Obama adminstration gave ` gift 's such as health-care law and immigration reform which attracted young and minority voters .
` The Obama campaign was following the old playbook of giving a lot of stuff to groups that they hoped they could get to vote for them and be motivated to go out to the polls , specifically the African American community , the Hispanic community and young people , ' Romney is reported to have said .
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was deeply critical of Mitt Romney 's remarks regarding ` gifts ' that Obama apparently gave to sections of the electorate to ensure his victory .
Almost two weeks on from Mitt Romney 's crushing loss to Barack Obama , the memory of his gracious and widely praised concession speech is fading fast .
The remarks echoed Romney 's notorious claim that '47 percent ' of the nation were living off the government and saw themselves as ` victims ' who can not be made to take responsibility for themselves .
Senator Marco Rubio -LRB- left -RRB- and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie -LRB- right -RRB- have been somewhat more conciliatory in their message to Mitt Romney .
Two of the party 's most prominent female voices were equally quick to insist that the Romney era was over and urge the party to move on under new leadership .
And Susan Martinez , the governor of New Mexico , described the Romney gaffe as a prime example of ` what sets us back as a party ' .
Senator Marco Rubio , who many see as a strong potential candidate for 2016 was slightly more diplomatic in his criticism of Romney .
I do n't want to rebut him point by point , ' Rubio said of Romney .
And the notoriously outspoken Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made it abundantly clear on Friday morning that it is time for Mitt Romney to ` move on ' after his election loss .
Indeed , according to those close to Romney he was taken aback by the scale of his election loss and while for a moment it seemed he would silently exit the stage , his divisive comments about the reasons for his loss have caused other Republicans to rush to distance themselves from him .
` So someone the other day asked me , "Why did Romney lose ?"
Victorious : U.S. President Barack Obama convincingly defeated Mitt Romney in the November 6th general election .
However , senior Romney adviser Stuart Stevens disagreed with the sentiments expressed by prominent Republicans in the aftermath of the defeated candidates ` gifts ' comments .
He called Romney ` the most popular Republican on the national scene at the moment ' .
Stevens continued : ` Even those who have been critical of the campaign on our side realise in the end that Governor Romney was resonating with millions of Americans and was running the kind of campaign we could all be pround of . '
While Romney aides have offered differing explanations for the November 6th defeat which gave President Obama 332 electoral votes , many have pointed to Romney 's loss in white rural states such as Wisconsin and Iowa as evidence his campaign failed among multiple demographics .
So crushing was Romney 's defeat that many have wondered what future public life he could have , especially as he has no elected office to return to .

Input: Consider Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tavis Smiley is Neutral . PBS announced Wednesday that it has âindefinitely suspendedâ the âTavis Smileyâ show and its namesake host amid sexual misconduct allegations but the talk show host said he plans to âfight back.â
Smiley took to social media after the announcement and unequivocally denied the accusations of any wrongdoing against him .
My response to PBS suspension full text here: [Link] pic.twitter.com/8KX2QIr660 â Tavis Smiley (@tavissmiley) December 14 2017
The investigation âfound credible allegations that Smiley had engaged in sexual relationships with multiple subordinatesâ and that some feared âtheir employment status was linked to the status of a sexual relationship with Smiley â an unnamed PBS spokeswoman told PBS NewsHour.
The investigation Smiley alleged on social media was âbiased and sloppy which led to a rush to judgment and trampling on a reputation that I have spent an entire lifetime trying to establish.â
What else did Smiley say?
âI have the utmost respect for women and celebrate the courage of those who have come forth to tell their truth. To be clear I have never groped coerced or exposed myself inappropriately to any workplace colleague in my entire broadcast career covering 6 networks over 30 years â Smiley wrote. âNever. Ever. Never.â
How did Smiley learn about the investigation and his suspension?
The story of his suspension first broke on Variety and according to Smiley Variety knew about it before he did.
âI learned of the investigation when former staffers started contacting me to share the uncomfortable experience of receiving a phone call from a stranger asking whether I had ever done anything to make them uncomfortable and if they could provide other names of persons to call â he wrote.
Smiley threatened a lawsuit after learning about the inquiries.
PBS investigators âreluctantlyâ agreed to a meeting that lasted three hours he said. Soon after the meeting ended on Wednesday Variety published the story.
In February Observer published a piece written by Jacques Hyzagi a former producer on Smileyâs television show. Hyzagi wrote about a trip he and Smiley took together for a special show taping.
Smiley âs âmisogyny is always creeping around barely camouflaged by Midwestern good manners â Hyzagi wrote.

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Sharpton is Positive . Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe ” network weekend host Al Sharpton said President Donald Trump was “a symbol of Northern bigotry.”
Sharpton said “ He never left the Queens way he and his father were sued for racial discrimination for who they would rent apartments to. So when you read in The New York Times him being quoted by two sources saying all Haitians have AIDS Nigerians won’t go home to their huts if we let them in the country it speaks of a man that we in New York knew at various times. Now he and the White House has denied it but it’s certainly not out of the character of what he has said and done. He led the fight that wanted to [give the] death penalty for five guys in Central Park that did this egregious despicable act of rape. They ended up not doing it. Many of us said it was questionable. He still said give them the death penalty. That’s who he is.”
He continued “I think a lot of Americans look at Civil Rights and race relations in the South in the ’60s and miss New York in the ’80s where you had many many incidents.”
He added “They get away with it because don’t want to talk about up North kind of problems and Trump symbolizes it. Trump is as much a symbol of Northern bigotry as you have others that were Southern.”

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rodrigo Garcia Pinochet is Neutral . Rodrigo Garcia Pinochet the dictator's grandson said the clan was innocent and placed all its trust in Chile's judicial system.
Garzon went after Pinochet in 1998 under a Spanish legal doctrine that allowed particularly grave crimes to be prosecuted in this country even if they are alleged to have been committed abroad and had no tie to Spain. Britain ultimately declined to extradite Pinochet saying he was ill.

Pinochet died in Chile in 2006 without having stood trial for abuses during his 1973-90 dictatorship.
The amount of the bond sought by Garzon -- $77 348 374 -- is equivalent to the amount of state money allegedly pilfered and laundered by Pinochet Garzon said. He said the figure came from by a Madrid-based human rights group which requested the probe the Fundacion Espanola Presidente Allende which obtained it from Chilean investigators.
The foundation is named for Salvador Allende the president that Pinochet ousted in 1973. Allende died in the coup.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz is Neutral . But could it be that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas does n't get personally grilled by constituents very often ?
The listed events Cruz attended from April through August 2017 demonstrate that the term ` town hall ' can be stretched every which way , even to events not open to the public .
All told , it looks to us like Cruz took questions at gatherings of selected constituents , mostly business employees -- with the three veterans events open to members of the public who registered .
Regardless , the Houston lawyer was told during the 2017 Texas Tribune Festival about a Democratic challenger 's suggestion that Cruz had n't visited small Texas towns during the term he won in 2012 .
"Do you do enough interaction with your constituents , Sen. Cruz ?"
Cruz , asked if he interacts enough with constituents , said : "In 2017 , I 've done 17 town halls" in Texas .
Cruz replied : "That is a huge part of the job .
A town hall , Cruz spokesman Phil Novack later noted by email , is defined by Merriam-Webster as "an event at which a public official or political candidate addresses an audience by answering questions posed by individual members ."
Cruz , a Republican poised to seek re-election in 2018 , hardly has a reputation of avoiding attention .
Novack otherwise told us Cruz had held 19 town halls with Texas constituents in 2017 , all "organized by third parties who determined attendees , where" the senator "has taken unvetted questions from anyone in the crowd -- at businesses , factories , chambers of commerce , and in public venues ."
The businesses , including Division Laundry & Cleaners in San Antonio , Sysco Central Texas in New Braunfels and Igloo Products Corp. in Katy , had employee town halls with Cruz , the chart says .
The veterans group , per the chart , hosted Cruz at July events in McKinney , Austin and Houston .
By email to our inquiry , a CVA spokesman , Jim Fellinger , told us each CVA event with Cruz was open to the public by registration , without the group screening out anybody who registered .
Fellinger pointed us to video posts of the CVA events showing that Cruz each time took questions via a moderator , who recognized a few individuals to speak directly to Cruz .
Cruz 's office lists 19 events .
Next , we confirmed from press releases , news stories and video snippets that Cruz made the appearances described in the Novack-provided chart .
Events in bold on the chart below were open to reporters , Phil Novack , a spokesman for Sen. Ted Cruz , said .
SOURCE : Chart provided by email from Phil Novack , press secretary to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz , Sept. 28 , 2017 .
We also asked Novack to share 2017 events Cruz had in Texas that were open to the public without registration -- where anyone could ask a question on any topic .
Experts evaluate Cruz 's claim .
Next , we shared our annotated version of the chart by email with academic experts and requested appraisals of Cruz 's statement that he 'd done 17 "town halls ."
It seems these town halls are open only to the people from the sections of ` town ' that support Ted Cruz .
In contrast , Trim , who directs a Pepperdine public engagement institute , said Cruz 's use of the "town hall" term struck her as "valid within the common use of the term ` town hall ' in 21st century America ."
Mark Jones , a Rice University political scientist , said Cruz 's claim fits a "minimalist" definition of town hall in that they involved the senator speaking to , and fielding questions from , constituents from all walks of life across the state .
But for a town hall "maximalist ," Jones wrote , none of Cruz 's events would qualify as a town hall "because they were held in largely controlled settings and were not open to the general public" with the exception of the veterans gatherings open to people registering ahead of time .
John Gastil , a Penn State University professor , said that while the "town hall" term has lost clarity of definition over the years , he thinks Cruz 's claim was made to affirm his availability to the public .
Cruz 's claim "strikes me as dubious ," Gastil summed up .

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Toma is Neutral . Since the new year and the new U.S. administration I havenât taken a day off let alone a weekend. Like so many others Iâve attended way too many meetings and marched until my feet blistered. I wrote a book in a blur then toured with it. And my husband Avi and I helped start a new political organization. Throughout the winter and spring âB.C. in Augustâ was our family mantra. It was the finish line (albeit a temporary one) and we fully planned to collapse on it. It was also the way we kept our 5-year-old son Toma in the game. On cold nights in the east we mapped out the forested walks we would take the canoe trips the swims. We imagined the blackberries we would pick the crumbles we would bake; we listed the grandparents aunts uncles cousins and old friends we would visit.
My allergies are going nuts. I bath my eyes in drops and pop antihistamines well beyond the recommended dosage. Toma breaks out in hives so severe he needs steroids.
Itâs week two of the smoke-out and the blackberries are finally ripe. We set out to collect them. It feels strange to be going through with this carefree summer ritual with the air so thick and the news so grim â but we do it anyway. Combining hiking with nonstop eating is one of Tomaâs all-time favorite activities.
Itâs pretty much a bust. With so little rain and such a weak sun to warm them even the ripest berries are sour. Toma quickly loses interest and refuses to try any more. We come home with shin scratches and an empty bucket.
We donât stop hiking though. In fact we spend at least an hour or two a day walking through the stands of moss-covered cedars and Douglas firs breathing in the super-oxygenated air. I love these forests and have never taken their primordial beauty for granted. Now I find myself in near worship â thanking them not just for scrubbing the air and for the shade and the carbon sequestration they provide (âecosystem servicesâ in the lingo of business environmentalism) but for their sheer stamina. For not joining their burning brethren. For sticking with us despite our failings. At least so far.
âLooks like snow is coming â Toma declares solemnly his face pressed up to the window and the white thick air on the other side.
Avi and I donât talk to Toma about climate change which may seem strange given that I write books about it and Avi directs films about it and we both spend most of our waking hours focused on the need for a transformative response to the crisis. What we do talk about is pollution though on a scale he can understand. Like plastic and why we have to pick it up and use less of it because it makes the animals sick. Or we look at the exhaust coming out of cars and trucks and talk about how you can get power from the sun and the wind and store it in batteries. A little kid can grasp concepts like these and know exactly what should happen (better than plenty of adults). But the idea that the entire planet has a fever that could get so high that much of life on earth could be lost in the convulsions â that seems to me too great a burden to ask small children to carry.
So no Iâm not going to tell Toma that the fires are a happy part of the cycle of life. We settle for half-truths and fudging to make the nightmare subside. âThe animals know how to escape from the fires. They run to rivers and streams and other forests.â
The next day brings rain; not a lot but enough to hope for some relief for the 2 400 exhausted and overworked firefighters. My allergies clear up and Toma starts sleeping through the night again.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity El Mencho is Neutral . Chapo's sons had made the mistake of partying on the turf of Sinaloa's newest and most dangerous rival: an upstart cartel boss named Rubén Oseguera Cervantes â alias "El Mencho." A former Jalisco state policeman who once served three years in a U.S. prison for selling heroin Mencho heads what many experts call Mexico's fastest-growing deadliest and according to some richest drug cartel â the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación or CJNG. Although he's basically unknown in the U.S. Mencho has been indicted in a D.C. federal court on charges of drug trafficking corruption and murder and currently has a $5 million bounty on his head. Aside from perhaps Rafael Caro Quintero â the aging drug lord still wanted for the 1985 torture and killing of a DEA agent â he is probably America's top cartel target. "It was Chapo " says a DEA source. "Now it's Mencho ."
CJNG specialize in methamphetamine which has higher profit margins than cocaine or heroin. By focusing on lucrative foreign markets in Europe and Asia the cartel has simultaneously maintained a low profile in the U.S. and built up a massive war chest which some experts estimate is worth $20 billion. "These guys have way more money than Sinaloa " says a former DEA agent who spent years hunting the cartel in Mexico (and who requested anonymity for security reasons). According to another U.S. investigator " Mencho has been very very aggressive â and so far unfortunately it 's paid off."
"We've seen it become very bloody and a lot of people attribute that to El Mencho himself " says Scott Stewart a senior cartel analyst at Stratfor a private intelligence firm. "Wherever they try to muscle in it creates bodies."
Mencho has also displayed a savagery that's extreme even by narco standards. For the admittedly brutal Chapo killing was a necessary part of business. For Mencho it seems more like sadism as public spectacle. There have been mass killings such as the 35 bound and tortured bodies dumped in the streets of Veracruz during evening rush hour in 2011. Two years later CJNG operatives raped killed and set fire to a 10-year-old girl whom they (mistakenly) believed was a rival's daughter. In 2015 CJNG assassins executed a man and his elementary-school-age son by detonating sticks of dynamite duct-taped to their bodies laughing as they filmed the ghastly scene with their phones. "This is ISIS stuff " says one DEA agent who has investigated the cartel. "The manner in which they kill people the sheer numbers â it's unparalleled even in Mexico."
Mori 35 is square-jawed and earnest with the friendly authority of a park ranger albeit one who carries a Glock. But he's also "a bulldog when it comes to investigations " says his supervisor DEA Special Agent in Charge James Comer. Prior to joining the DEA Mori worked as an L.A. County sheriff's deputy on patrol in Compton. Now as the agency's foremost investigator into CJNG â and the agent who helped prepare the 2014 indictment against Mencho â he knows the cartel probably better than anyone in America. "I've been working these guys pretty much since I started " Mori says. "This is what I do."
The first time Mencho popped up on Mori's radar was a fluke. Back in 2010 Mori was working on an unrelated money-laundering case with a field agent in Guadalajara who told him about a fresh target a new cartel: "They're a huge problem down here in Jalisco. When Chapo gets picked up these guys are gonna run the show."
But as Mencho quickly built his business his operation grew more complex. He invested heavily in submarines which he used to bring in narcotics from South America. (According to the former DEA agent he even hired Russian naval engineers to help design the subs.) He avoided American scrutiny by focusing on overseas markets such as Australia where â as Mori explains â a kilo of cocaine can fetch quadruple the price it does in the States. ("You send five tons to Australia it's like doing 20 here " he says.) Mencho also employed more earthly techniques like using fashion models to smuggle in drugs. According to the former field agent CJNG traffickers would pose as magazine photographers complete with fake credentials and fly into Mexico with "talent" from Colombia and Venezuela. Authorities would be so distracted by the women that the drugs would slip right in.
Mencho leveraged his power using the twin tools of corruption and intimidation. Captured CJNG members have testified about how he hates disobedience and likes to make his victims beg forgiveness before killing them. "This is a guy who'll execute your whole family based on not much more than a rumor " a source says. "He just has zero regard for human life." According to one source who met Mencho he's a shrewd businessman who doesn't drink doesn't have lovers like other cartel leaders do and trusts almost no one.
The former field agent says he's heard multiple taped phone calls of Mencho talking to cartel underlings. "These guys are killers themselves and they were afraid " the agent says. "He was ordering them around. I don't think I heard any where he was calm. But he wasn't a hothead. The yelling was very controlled. He knew what he was doing."
Mencho 's ferocity inspired similar devotion from his troops. "One time there was a big shootout at a fair " the former agent recalls. "Someone threw a grenade and some [CJNG] guys fell on it to avoid Mencho getting killed." According to the agent Mencho's ruthlessness also made it hard to recruit informants against him. The agent once had a source who got close â he had an address for Mencho . But when the cartel realized he was sniffing around they kidnapped the man as well as his teenage son. "They found the father's body a month later " the agent says. "He'd been tortured. They never found the kid."
Mencho also bought off cops. Jalisco's governor Aristóteles Sandoval has said that when he first took office the state's "greatest vulnerability was the infiltration of organized crime" into its police forces. According to a report by Reuters at one point CJNG had more than half of Jalisco's municipal police on the payroll â some at more than five times their salaries. "People stopped trusting the police " said Jalisco Attorney General Eduardo Almaguer. And the cops Mencho couldn't buy he terrorized. According to the former DEA field agent CJNG inspired an extraordinary degree of fear in Mexican police above and beyond that of most cartels. "They were afraid of [Mencho] " he says. "They didn't want to piss him off."
Then there was the time (never publicly reported) that Mencho sent a severed pig's head to the attorney general in Mexico City as a warning. "They put it right on his doorstep in an ice chest " the former field agent says. "I was surprised it was only a pig."
A recently surfaced telephone call shows how casually Mencho wields the threat of violence. On the recording he can be heard talking to a local police commander (call sign "Delta One") whose officers were apparently being too zealous for Mencho 's liking. An abridged translation follows:
While CJNG were ramping up operations the DEA was preoccupied with Chapo's Sinaloa cartel helping Mencho fly under the radar. "All the cables out of headquarters all the intelligence reports were focused on Chapo " the former field agent says. "The bosses in D.C. were like 'We've never heard of [CJNG].' They didn't think they were important." Partly as a result Mori's investigation had difficulty gaining traction. "We hit a dead end " he says. "We didn't get close to Mencho didn't get any sources didn't get any wiretaps. We knew we had this big player this up-and-coming narco â but we had no 'in' to investigate him."
So the case was put on the back burner and for the next few years CJNG became an afterthought. "A few people at headquarters and in Mexico saw what was going on " Mori says. "But if you asked most DEA agents [back then] if they knew who Mencho was they would say no."
Mencho must have dreamed of more than avocados however because within a few years he had packed up and moved north to California. By 1986 he was living in the Bay Area where he was arrested by San Francisco police for possession of stolen property and a loaded gun. A booking photo from the incident shows a 19-year-old Mencho wearing a hoodie and a blank expression acne on his baby face. Two months later his first child was born.

New input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Homan is Negative . Thomas Homan US Immigration and Customs Enforcementâs acting director told Fox News that the mayorâs warning on Twitter was âbeyond the paleâ and compared her to a gang lookout who tells people when a police car is arriving. Homan said the Justice Department is looking into whether Schaaf obstructed justice.
It was unclear how many people would have eluded capture without the mayorâs warning but Homan squarely blamed her for 800 and said her actions jeopardized officer safety.
âThereâs over 800 significant public safety threat criminals these are people who are here illegally and committed yet another crime been convicted of a crime â he told Fox. â She gave them warning and thereâs 800 that we were unable to locate because of that warning so that communityâs a lot less safe than it would have been.â
Homan âs statement of 800 missed targets â plus the 150 arrests â in only three days suggests an unusually large operation by the agencyâs standards. Two weeks ago it arrested 212 in a five-day operation in the Los Angeles area. A Texas operation in February resulted in 145 arrests over seven days.
Asked about Homan likening her to a gang lookout she said the âTrump administration is trying to distract the American people convince them that these immigrants are dangerous people. That could not be further from the truth and it is based in racism.â
The warring words are the latest sign of escalating tension between California officials and the Trump administration over immigration enforcement and âsanctuaryâ jurisdictions. Homan vowed that immigration agents would have a stronger presence in California since a state law took effect in January to sharply limit cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
Dozens of protesters marching outside the agencyâs offices in San Francisco after Homan spoke chanted âShut down ICE!â David Chiu a Democratic state assemblyman said Trump âhas declared war on our immigrant communities.â
Homan in announcing the arrests late Tuesday renewed his warning that Californiaâs limits on cooperating with ICE in local jails will lead to a bigger presence of immigration agents on the streets.

Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Clinton is Negative . Kellyanne Conway blasted Hillary Clinton for taking five days to come out with a statement about movie producer and Democratic mega-donor Harvey Weinstein following growing allegations that he'd been sexually assaulting women for years.
Further said Conway Clinton as far as anyone knows "kept the dirty money that dirty Harvey has given her in her campaign."
But now even if Clinton gives back the money that would not make her look any better said Conway.
"First of all she doesn't need to mollify me but not be a hypocrite about women's empowerment " Conway said. " She spent a month this time last year talking about an audio tape from 11 years earlier where a statement was made by the now president of the United States . . . what has she done privately in her private life? She is talking about herself and a campaign she lost on a book tour. She is not trying to help victims of sexual assault."
Conway invited Clinton to call her at the White House if she wishes to discuss the issue.
" She knows the number " she said. " She was the first lady for eight years and worked in a bipartisan fashion on sexual assault. We don't hear that from her ."

Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Charles Rangel is Neutral . The vote makes Rangel just the 23rd member of the House to be censured and the first in nearly three decades.
Rangel and his allies had pleaded for mercy arguing his transgressions which included failure to pay income taxes and misuse of his office to solicit fundraising donations deserved the more lenient punishment of a reprimand. But that effort failed 267-146.
Still talking to reporters after leaving the House floor Rangel's old pugnacity returned as he denounced the vote as partisan.
"I am confident that when the history of this has been written people will recognize that the vote for censure was a very very very political vote " Rangel said.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren D-Calif. the chairwoman of the ethics committee said in the past censure had been used for members who had used unparliamentary language and that Rangel had promised voters that Democrats would run the most ethical Congress in history.
"We need to hold ourselves to a higher standard " Lofgren said. "Mr. Rangel himself has acknowledged that."
Rangel's long battle over the ethics charges has transfixed New York City's political establishment and set off speculation about how long he will remain in office. Several Democrats are eyeing the seat but no major figure dared to challenge Rangel last fall when he easily won re-election.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bob Goodlatte is Neutral . Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) chairman of the House Judiciary Committee will not seek re-election in 2018 he announced Thursday ending a 13-term run representing Virginiaâs solid-red Sixth Congressional District.
Goodlatte made his decision known via Twitter thanking his constituents and in a longer statement posted on his website:
Itâs been an honor to serve #VA06 â thank you for your support and trust. Itâs time to step aside. Iâve decided I will not seek re-election. â Bob Goodlatte (@BobGoodlatte6) November 9 2017
âWith my time as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee ending in December 2018 this is a natural stepping-off point and an opportunity to begin a new chapter of my career and spend more time with my family particularly my granddaughters â Goodlatte wrote adding:
A reliable conservative vote and a former immigration lawyer Goodlatte took the reins at the powerful Judiciary Committee in 2013. Immigration and Border Security being one of the Judiciary Committeeâs subcommittees had been the most prominent issue dealt with there at the time. He has been a consistent border security hawk and ally of President Donald Trumpâs immigration agenda.
In perhaps his most important move as chairman Goodlatte made known that 2013âs so-called âGang of Eightâ amnesty bill would have a tough time in his committee contributing to the political pressure that prevented the bill from passing the Senate and thereby stopping the âpath to citizenshipâ that would potentially have added tens of millions of Democratic voters to the rolls.
Goodlatte later warned against the Obama administrationâs encouragement of the so-called âunaccompanied minorâ surge in these pages working in the House to oppose President Barack Obamaâs continual attempts at executive amnesty.
Other major issues during Goodlatte âs tenure as judiciary chairman included human trafficking legislation government wiretapping authorization and efforts to combat so-called âovercriminalizationâ from administrative regulation.
With Goodlatte âs departure the stakes are raised for 2018âs GOP primary in his district. With a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+13 VA-6 is a prime target for solid conservatives looking to carry on Goodlatte âs legacy.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ed Gillespie is Positive . A television ad depicting minority children running from a pickup truck sporting a bumper sticker for Virginia Republican Ed Gillespie is designed to criticize the gubernatorial candidate’s ties to President Trump — and to address concerns that Democratic candidate Ralph Northam is struggling to connect with minority voters according to people familiar with the strategy.
The ad was removed late Tuesday after a terrorism attack in New York City involved a pickup truck running down people on a bike path.
But before it was removed it was designed to appeal to Latino voters. Public polling shows Northam easily beating Gillespie among black and Latino voters but a recent private poll shared widely among minority advocacy groups sparked worry about the Democrat’s appeal. Northam’s campaign urged the groups not to release the poll’s findings according to multiple people familiar with the matter — a point not disputed by his campaign.
In the weeks since the poll was conducted progressive groups have worked to tie Gillespie to Trump whose approval rating among Latinos nationwide hovers in the teens. They worry that if Gillespie wins his campaign ads — which raised concerns about illegal immigration and “sanctuary cities” and voiced support for Confederate-era monuments — could be replicated nationwide next year by GOP candidates eager to turn out conservative voters.

Alex’s group produced the new ad “American Nightmare ” which features four young children — two Latino boys an African American child and a Muslim girl wearing a headscarf — running from a white man driving a pickup truck adorned with the Gillespie sticker and a Confederate flag. The truck chases the children through a suburban neighborhood into a dead-end alley — at which point the children awake from a bad dream.

A Washington Post-Schar School poll released Tuesday did not poll enough Latino voters to generate a measurable sample. But among nonwhite voters overall Northam leads Gillespie 73 percent to 17 percent — similar to Clinton’s margins in Virginia last year. Other statewide polls conducted last month by the Wason Center and Fox News showed Northam trouncing Gillespie among nonwhite voters.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity El Mencho is Neutral . Chapo's sons had made the mistake of partying on the turf of Sinaloa's newest and most dangerous rival: an upstart cartel boss named Rubén Oseguera Cervantes â alias "El Mencho." A former Jalisco state policeman who once served three years in a U.S. prison for selling heroin Mencho heads what many experts call Mexico's fastest-growing deadliest and according to some richest drug cartel â the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación or CJNG. Although he's basically unknown in the U.S. Mencho has been indicted in a D.C. federal court on charges of drug trafficking corruption and murder and currently has a $5 million bounty on his head. Aside from perhaps Rafael Caro Quintero â the aging drug lord still wanted for the 1985 torture and killing of a DEA agent â he is probably America's top cartel target. "It was Chapo " says a DEA source. "Now it's Mencho ."
CJNG specialize in methamphetamine which has higher profit margins than cocaine or heroin. By focusing on lucrative foreign markets in Europe and Asia the cartel has simultaneously maintained a low profile in the U.S. and built up a massive war chest which some experts estimate is worth $20 billion. "These guys have way more money than Sinaloa " says a former DEA agent who spent years hunting the cartel in Mexico (and who requested anonymity for security reasons). According to another U.S. investigator " Mencho has been very very aggressive â and so far unfortunately it 's paid off."
"We've seen it become very bloody and a lot of people attribute that to El Mencho himself " says Scott Stewart a senior cartel analyst at Stratfor a private intelligence firm. "Wherever they try to muscle in it creates bodies."
Mencho has also displayed a savagery that's extreme even by narco standards. For the admittedly brutal Chapo killing was a necessary part of business. For Mencho it seems more like sadism as public spectacle. There have been mass killings such as the 35 bound and tortured bodies dumped in the streets of Veracruz during evening rush hour in 2011. Two years later CJNG operatives raped killed and set fire to a 10-year-old girl whom they (mistakenly) believed was a rival's daughter. In 2015 CJNG assassins executed a man and his elementary-school-age son by detonating sticks of dynamite duct-taped to their bodies laughing as they filmed the ghastly scene with their phones. "This is ISIS stuff " says one DEA agent who has investigated the cartel. "The manner in which they kill people the sheer numbers â it's unparalleled even in Mexico."
Mori 35 is square-jawed and earnest with the friendly authority of a park ranger albeit one who carries a Glock. But he's also "a bulldog when it comes to investigations " says his supervisor DEA Special Agent in Charge James Comer. Prior to joining the DEA Mori worked as an L.A. County sheriff's deputy on patrol in Compton. Now as the agency's foremost investigator into CJNG â and the agent who helped prepare the 2014 indictment against Mencho â he knows the cartel probably better than anyone in America. "I've been working these guys pretty much since I started " Mori says. "This is what I do."
The first time Mencho popped up on Mori's radar was a fluke. Back in 2010 Mori was working on an unrelated money-laundering case with a field agent in Guadalajara who told him about a fresh target a new cartel: "They're a huge problem down here in Jalisco. When Chapo gets picked up these guys are gonna run the show."
But as Mencho quickly built his business his operation grew more complex. He invested heavily in submarines which he used to bring in narcotics from South America. (According to the former DEA agent he even hired Russian naval engineers to help design the subs.) He avoided American scrutiny by focusing on overseas markets such as Australia where â as Mori explains â a kilo of cocaine can fetch quadruple the price it does in the States. ("You send five tons to Australia it's like doing 20 here " he says.) Mencho also employed more earthly techniques like using fashion models to smuggle in drugs. According to the former field agent CJNG traffickers would pose as magazine photographers complete with fake credentials and fly into Mexico with "talent" from Colombia and Venezuela. Authorities would be so distracted by the women that the drugs would slip right in.
Mencho leveraged his power using the twin tools of corruption and intimidation. Captured CJNG members have testified about how he hates disobedience and likes to make his victims beg forgiveness before killing them. "This is a guy who'll execute your whole family based on not much more than a rumor " a source says. "He just has zero regard for human life." According to one source who met Mencho he's a shrewd businessman who doesn't drink doesn't have lovers like other cartel leaders do and trusts almost no one.
The former field agent says he's heard multiple taped phone calls of Mencho talking to cartel underlings. "These guys are killers themselves and they were afraid " the agent says. "He was ordering them around. I don't think I heard any where he was calm. But he wasn't a hothead. The yelling was very controlled. He knew what he was doing."
Mencho 's ferocity inspired similar devotion from his troops. "One time there was a big shootout at a fair " the former agent recalls. "Someone threw a grenade and some [CJNG] guys fell on it to avoid Mencho getting killed." According to the agent Mencho's ruthlessness also made it hard to recruit informants against him. The agent once had a source who got close â he had an address for Mencho . But when the cartel realized he was sniffing around they kidnapped the man as well as his teenage son. "They found the father's body a month later " the agent says. "He'd been tortured. They never found the kid."
Mencho also bought off cops. Jalisco's governor Aristóteles Sandoval has said that when he first took office the state's "greatest vulnerability was the infiltration of organized crime" into its police forces. According to a report by Reuters at one point CJNG had more than half of Jalisco's municipal police on the payroll â some at more than five times their salaries. "People stopped trusting the police " said Jalisco Attorney General Eduardo Almaguer. And the cops Mencho couldn't buy he terrorized. According to the former DEA field agent CJNG inspired an extraordinary degree of fear in Mexican police above and beyond that of most cartels. "They were afraid of [Mencho] " he says. "They didn't want to piss him off."
Then there was the time (never publicly reported) that Mencho sent a severed pig's head to the attorney general in Mexico City as a warning. "They put it right on his doorstep in an ice chest " the former field agent says. "I was surprised it was only a pig."
A recently surfaced telephone call shows how casually Mencho wields the threat of violence. On the recording he can be heard talking to a local police commander (call sign "Delta One") whose officers were apparently being too zealous for Mencho 's liking. An abridged translation follows:
While CJNG were ramping up operations the DEA was preoccupied with Chapo's Sinaloa cartel helping Mencho fly under the radar. "All the cables out of headquarters all the intelligence reports were focused on Chapo " the former field agent says. "The bosses in D.C. were like 'We've never heard of [CJNG].' They didn't think they were important." Partly as a result Mori's investigation had difficulty gaining traction. "We hit a dead end " he says. "We didn't get close to Mencho didn't get any sources didn't get any wiretaps. We knew we had this big player this up-and-coming narco â but we had no 'in' to investigate him."
So the case was put on the back burner and for the next few years CJNG became an afterthought. "A few people at headquarters and in Mexico saw what was going on " Mori says. "But if you asked most DEA agents [back then] if they knew who Mencho was they would say no."
Mencho must have dreamed of more than avocados however because within a few years he had packed up and moved north to California. By 1986 he was living in the Bay Area where he was arrested by San Francisco police for possession of stolen property and a loaded gun. A booking photo from the incident shows a 19-year-old Mencho wearing a hoodie and a blank expression acne on his baby face. Two months later his first child was born.

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Frederica Wilson is Neutral . A video shows that White House chief of staff John Kelly was wrong about Rep. Frederica Wilson's 2015 speech.
The video shows Wilson took credit for fast-tracking an FBI building's naming process rather than securing its funding.
White House chief of staff John Kelly's claim that Rep. Frederica Wilson had boasted about procuring funding for an FBI field office in 2015 was proven wrong by a video released by The Sun Sentinel on Friday backing up Wilson 's claim that she had only taken credit for working across the aisle to name the building after two FBI agents who were killed in the line of duty.
Kelly called Wilson an "empty barrel" on Thursday and rebuked her for taking credit for securing funding for the future FBI building. Wilson however shot back and denied the claim which was corroborated by the video of her speech.
The video shows that Wilson described how after she was informed of the long process it would take to finalize the building's name she "went into attack mode."
"Immediately I went into attack mode... They hotlined it to the Senate floor in just two days " she said in the speech. "And guess what? The president signed the bill into law this past Tuesday April 7th 2015 with a bang bang bang!"
Wilson was elected to Congress in 2010 one year after the funding for the building was secured according to CNN.
The White House stood by Kelly's characterization of Wilson 's speech.
"Gen. Kelly said he was 'stunned' that Rep. Wilson made comments at a building dedication honoring slain FBI agents about her own actions in Congress including lobbying former President Obama on legislation " press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement sent to Business Insider. "As Gen. Kelly pointed out if you're able to make a sacred act like honoring American heroes about yourself you're an empty barrel."
The back-and-forth between Wilson and Kelly follows another feud between the Florida congresswoman and President Donald Trump himself in which Wilson criticized Trump for making an insensitive call to the widow of a fallen US soldier.

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ryan Lewis is Negative . Ryan Lewis the famed producer known for his talents alongside breakout musician and independent hip-hop artist Macklemore has lived a life in the limelight. From winning a Grammy for Best Rap Album of 2014 to being involved in handfuls of tangential creative endeavors and collaborative projects Lewis has seemingly lived two lives: his own and the perception created as a resultâacross news outlets industry blogs and social media channels each telling his story from their own angle and perspective.
Lewis who has a track record of applying technology and an understanding of the role it can play in creating public conversations saw this as an opportunity to answer that tough question: âWhatâs at the heart of what everyone is saying about a topic or a person online?â
And he âs decided to leverage blockchain technology to do it with a handful of early investors already on board and an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) planned for this year.
âAs soon as this idea started to marinate I began to form a team to move the vision forward â said Lewis talking about his deliberate shift from time spent on music to balance time in the tech scene. âIâve always had an interest in tech just by the nature of the projects Iâve been involved in over the past decade. And one of the biggest lessons Iâve learned as a music producer is that a great producer knows what theyâre good at and what theyâre not good at. As I began to realize there could be a better way to more accurately and objectively organize stories on the Internet I knew I needed a team.â
The first person Lewis shared his idea with was longtime collaborator and close friend Macklemore who immediately saw the value and came on board as the first investor and company advisor. Ryan then worked closely with Josh Karp and Scott Lewis early creative partners to continue articulating the vision. After achieving initial milestones Ryan connected with current tech partner RJ Smith a 20-year technology veteran with a unique background pioneering transformational initiatives inside the US government.
âThese were problems I was already working on â said Smith. âTo meet another person with a ton of talent and a different set of skills but with a shared passion was invaluable. The challenges in a new start are humbling and it was exciting to join forces with Ryan and other team members to execute this huge vision together.â

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shinzo Abe is Negative . TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe speaking before leaving for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics said on Friday he wanted to convey to the world that cooperation among the United States Japan and South Korea on the North Korean threat remained firm.
Abe who is set to meet South Korean President Moon Jae-in later on Friday said he and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence had reconfirmed that Washington and Tokyo stood together “100 percent” at meetings in the Japanese capital this week.
“Taking that into account I want to make the leaders’ meeting (with Moon) one that sends the message to the world that U.S.-Japan-South Korea cooperation toward the North Korea threat will not waver ” Abe said.
The North’s high-ranking delegation including the younger sister of its leader Kim Jong Un will meet Moon and have lunch with him on Saturday.
Abe also said he would convey to Moon Tokyo’s position on a 2015 bilateral agreement on “comfort women” - many Korean - who were forced to work in Japanese military brothels during World War Two while urging “future-oriented” two-way ties.
Under the 2015 deal between Japan and South Korea reached by Abe and Moon’s predecessor Japan apologized to former “comfort women” and provided a 1 billion yen ($9 million) fund to help them. But South Korea has said the agreement failed to meet victims’ needs calling for more steps.
Abe whose decision to attend the Games opening ceremony angered some of his conservative backers has rejected those calls saying the agreement will not be altered “by even one millimeter”.

New input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Alice is Neutral . The primes are "suspicious solitary numbers " Giordano writes. Perhaps they would prefer to be ordinary numbers "but for some reason they couldn't do it." And he elaborates: There are some that almost touch -- 17 and 19 41 and 43 -- but are separated by an even number. As the numbers expand these so-called twin primes become ever rarer and the presentiment develops that these were accidents and "that solitude is the true destiny." But then if you count long enough you'll find another pair of twins "clutching each other tightly." Giordano depicts with aching vividness the traumas out of which Alice and Mattia emerge disabled. Alice's ski fall might be only that despite a permanently crippled leg. But we get horror seen from within: a father who bullies her even if lovingly into enduring the cold the awkwardness the fear of something she has so little taste for that she humiliatingly befouls her ski pants. Adults cannot suspect what furnishes a child's nightmare; here the reader is made to live it.
Giordano remarkably and movingly portrays the hesitant groping toward warmth that works beneath the pair's emotional disabilities. Alice unable to tolerate not just food but also the vitality it stands for assumes a touchingly decisive if frail seductiveness with the shaky Mattia. When at 22 he brings himself to tell her about his sister she embraces him they kiss and for a moment it seems things will change.
Only briefly; Mattia retreats goes off to Scandinavia. Upon his return years later there is another almost-moment. That too will vanish. Alice's reaching out though tentative is genuine. His response describes a parabola: rising seeming to converge dropping away. He is the man who fell to earth; she is earth though crumbly.
What is even more distinctive and transforming is the writing. The author works with piercing subtlety. He manages -- moving from math to physics -- an exquisite rendering of what one might call feelings at the subatomic level emotion's muons gluons and quarks. Take that kiss: "All Mattia saw was a shadow moving toward him. He instinctively closed his eyes and then felt Alice's hot mouth on his her tears on his cheek or maybe they weren't hers and finally her hands so light holding his head still and catching all his thoughts and imprisoning them there in the space that no longer existed between them."

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov is Positive . Police say that a 29-year-old Uzbek immigrant named Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov sped a rented truck 20 blocks down a lower Manhattan bike trail slamming cyclists and pedestrians. His deceased victims include a young Belgian mother of two two fledgling American businessmen and perhaps most tragically five of eight Argentines who visited Gotham to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their high-school graduation.
NYPD Counterterror Chief John Miller said "He did this in the name of ISIS." A note in Arabic note in Saipov ’s vehicle pledged allegiance to the terror network. His cell phone reportedly contains some 90 videos and 3 800 photos from ISIS including images of beheadings and prisoners being crushed by a tank.
Saipov seems remorseless. He reportedly said he was "proud" of his killing spree and wished to hang an ISIS flag in his hospital room.
But political correctness also eased Saipov ’s carnage.
De Blasio further disconnected the dots in April 2014 when he scrapped an NYPD surveillance program designed to root out "budding terrorist conspiracies." It scrutinized among others Paterson New Jersey’s Masjid Omar Mosque. De Blasio claimed that junking this initiative would ease tensions "so that our cops and our citizens can help one another go after the real bad guys." Too bad they could not go after a real bad guy among this mosque’s congregants — Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov.
Information is vital here. Saipov may have loads of it . American officials should squeeze it out of him like juice from a lemon.
"If you act like a terrorist and you say you’re a terrorist that’s enough for me " Sen. Lindsey Graham R-S.C. told journalists on Wednesday. "We ought to treat you as a terrorist." Graham knows exactly how to handle Saipov .
As soon as he can travel Saipov should be jetted to Guantanamo and interrogated until he spills everything he knows about his terrorist training contacts and any mayhem that they are poised to unleash. After that Saipov should receive a swift military trial. If convicted he should be dispatched at once.

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Baker Mayfield is Neutral . JUST SHORT: Baker Mayfield unable to lead Oklahoma to victory in final game
But things changed radically in the third quarter. Suddenly Georgiaâs defense was dominant. Baker Mayfield felt pressure â and unlike so many games throughout his career was unable to escape it; he was sacked three times in the pivotal third quarter which the Sooners spent bottled up in their own end of the field and threw an interception on the first play of the fourth quarter leading to the Bulldogsâ go-ahead touchdown. Offensively Georgiaâs running game kicked into high gear with Nick Chubb and Sony Michel each scoring touchdowns on long runs.
Although Mayfield tied it with a fantastic drive midway through the fourth quarter â and Oklahoma took the lead on a defensive score â Jake Fromm matched him leading the Bulldogs to the tying score with 55 seconds left.
Georgiaâs freshman quarterback was overshadowed in the run-up to the game by Baker Mayfield the Heisman winner. And he didnât touch the ball on the final play; Sony Michel took a direct snap to the house.
Discombobulated by Oklahoma in the first half Georgia turned things around with a dominant third-quarter performance. Oklahoma led by 14 and got the ball to start the quarter. But Georgia sandwiched a pair of three-and-outs around a 50-yard touchdown run by Nick Chubb then stopped Oklahoma again. Baker Mayfield who was rarely touched in the first half spent the third quarter on his back â including two sacks on consecutive plays to stall one possession. When Mayfield âs third-down pass intended for tight end Mark Andrews sailed high it was an easy interception for safety Dominick Sanders who returned it to the 4.
The rookie head coachâs well-earned reputation as a strategist and playcaller was on full display from the beginning when Baker Mayfield connected with fullback Dimitri Flowers on consecutive plays for 26 and 16 yards. The Sooners mixed runs and passes â and had especially nice calls on third downs including screens to beat blitzes and shallow crossing routes that became long gains. The tour de force came at the end of the first half when on third-and-goal from the 2 Riley dialed up a toss to Flowers going left ⦠that became a reverse to receiver CeeDee Lamb ⦠that finished as a run-pass option for the receiver who lofted an easy touchdown pass to Mayfield in the back corner of the end zone.

How high up the ladder does a woman need to climb before she feels her voice is heard? The unfortunate answer is that getting to the top doesnât bring any guarantees actor and start of "Search Party" Alia Shawkat told me on "Salon Talks."
âIâll be on a set with a male actor weâre both in the same role same position of power on set. And Iâll suggest an idea and itâs talked over and then heâll say it and everyone listens " Shawkat said.
Itâs an experience that too many women are familiar with no matter where they work. Shawkat is an accomplished actress with roles in cult favorites ("Arrested Development " "Transparent " "Broad City") who stars in the TBS comedic murder mystery âSearch Partyâ and is the executive producer of the upcoming film âDuck Butter."
âThereâs a hunger to gain power on set as women and literally my voice is not always heard. And thatâs the most frustrating part repeating myself " she said.
While the current societal focus is on allegations of sexual harassment and assault that have been brought to light as well as holding men in positions of power accountable for their actions Shawkat believes those steps are just the beginning to addressing gender dynamics in Hollywood. To hear more of her personal experiences feeling silenced watch the video above.

Input: Consider Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Sharpton is Positive . Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe ” network weekend host Al Sharpton said President Donald Trump was “a symbol of Northern bigotry.”
Sharpton said “ He never left the Queens way he and his father were sued for racial discrimination for who they would rent apartments to. So when you read in The New York Times him being quoted by two sources saying all Haitians have AIDS Nigerians won’t go home to their huts if we let them in the country it speaks of a man that we in New York knew at various times. Now he and the White House has denied it but it’s certainly not out of the character of what he has said and done. He led the fight that wanted to [give the] death penalty for five guys in Central Park that did this egregious despicable act of rape. They ended up not doing it. Many of us said it was questionable. He still said give them the death penalty. That’s who he is.”
He continued “I think a lot of Americans look at Civil Rights and race relations in the South in the ’60s and miss New York in the ’80s where you had many many incidents.”
He added “They get away with it because don’t want to talk about up North kind of problems and Trump symbolizes it. Trump is as much a symbol of Northern bigotry as you have others that were Southern.”

Input: Consider Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ronald Reagan is Negative . Henry Olsen author of The Working Class Republican: Ronald Reagan and the Return of Blue-Collar Conservatism discussed the similarities between the Reagan and Trump coalitions with SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily.
Marlow asked how Reagan came to be seen as a libertarian icon âbasically the type of guy that just wants to cut taxes on the nine smartest people in the country so that they can save us from ourselves with the lack of government â when in truth he âfought for the dignity of working people and had a huge appeal to blue-collar Americans.â
â Ronald Reagan talked a lot about freedom. What happened I think was that libertarian Koch sort of people as you put it latched onto this guy who interpreted them for the masses in their own light â Olsen replied.
âWe tend to forget that one of the Koch brothers ran against Ronald Reagan in 1980 because David Koch was a libertarian. Ronald Reagan wasnât â he pointed out. âBecause Ronald Reagan was so staunchly in favor of freedom they have interpreted him in a way that took out all the nuance and all the detail. The fact is that Ronald Reagan was somebody who raised taxes to support working people in the dignified pursuit of their own lives.â
Olsen recalled his own history with the Republican Party beginning with volunteer work when he was just twelve years old. âI was so diehard I went in on the day that Nixon resigned. I worked my way through the party was a candidate at one point and I got into Reagan because that was what you breathed in California in the 1970s â he said.
âBut after 2008 I looked and I saw a Republican Party that was worse off than at any time in my adult lifetime â he continued. âI thought â Reagan turned it around. How did he do it?â I started studying him and thatâs when I learned that everything I knew about Reagan was wrong that Reagan turned it around precisely because he wasnât the archetypal Ayn Rand libertarian that I had been told he was.â
â Ronald Reagan first and foremost was somebody who put people first â Olsen said. â He loved the American people. His epitaph says it all. Youâll go to Thomas Jeffersonâs grave and youâll see âAuthor of the Virginia Declaration of Rightsâ and âCreator of the University of Virginia.â Well Ronald Reaganâs says on his last words is that he knows man is good that right will eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every human life. That is the heart of Reaganism.â
â He believed that freedom was important and essential to that but he also believed that government support was essential to that. Thatâs why he supported Social Security itâs why he supported federal aid to help the poor pay medical bills and itâs why he always supported a social safety net â and immigration and trade restrictions when doing that would help the American worker â Olsen noted.
He was critical of modern politicians attempting to appropriate Reagan âs memory for their own purposes including Senator Ted Cruz. âNobody quotes Reagan more and understands him less â Olsen said.
âRegan said that the Republican platform should be âno pale pastels only bold colors.â Then you read what he actually proposed in that same speech and it had an energetic support for environmental protection an energetic support for a real safety net a very limited attempt to restrict federal spending no discussion of entitlements. Ronald Reaganâs bold colors would be called pale pastels by Ted Cruz â he charged.
â Reagan was so far ahead of the curve that people only turned around the curve decades after he had already laid it out â Olsen said.
âThe thing to remember about Reagan is that you know Sylvester Stallone was an out-of-work actor who wrote his vehicle to stardom. He wrote âRocky.â Ronald Reagan is the political version of that â he explained. â He wrote his own speeches all the way up until really the presidency and then he still had a big hand in his speeches. He thought through his principles. He created all the words that made him governor and then president. He was somebody who created the working class Republican-libertarian alliance that was the Reagan coalition and that Donald Trump is recreating today.â
Olsen said Reagan had no difficulty reconciling his famed âEleventh Commandmentâ â âThou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republicanâ â with vigorous primary challenges such as those seen in the 2018 election cycle.
â He criticized Gerald Ford but he criticized his policies. He didnât criticize his person. He didnât make personal attacks â he recalled. âThat was what Reagan was really talking about was that you donât want to drag your opponents through the mud because after the primary youâre going to have more in common than you do with the Democrat. So donât drag somebodyâs character through the mud but make clear that there are real principled differences between you and let that be the method of decision for Republicans and people who want to participate in the Republican primary.â
âOne thing also about Reagan is that he never throughout his career only limited his appeal to Republicans. When his career was on the line against Gerald Ford in March 1976 he goes on national TV as a candidate for the Republican primary and says âI want Democrats and independents to listen too because youâre part of my coalition ââ Olsen said.
Olsen saw the Reagan and Trump coalitions as âmirror images of each other.â

Peter Miqueli 54 was at the center of a scandalous lawsuit in 2015 filed by parishioners of two churches where he worked â St. Frances de Chantal Church in the Bronx and St. Francis Cabrini in Roosevelt Island.
She did find however that St. Frances de Chantal Church improperly doled out over $22 000 in personal reimbursements to Miqueli from parish accounts. The disgraced ex-priest was ordered to return the funds Clark said.
"This investigation by the Economic Crimes Bureau found that Father Miqueli was improperly reimbursed for personal expenses " Clark said. "The Archdiocese has reimbursed St. Frances de Chantal Church for the funds $22 450 of hard-earned money donated by parishioners for the betterment of the parish. We have made recommendations to the Archdiocese and they have agreed to more oversight."
In a letter that was disseminated to parishioners Most Rev. Gerald Walsh vicar for clergy said that while $22 000 is a "significant sum " it is a "far cry" from the millions Miqueli was accused of looting.
"The Archdiocese has attempted to investigate the other more sensational accusations of morally abhorrent behavior but to date nothing has been brought forward to substantiate them and Father Miqueli continues to deny them."
He added that Miqueli has not had an assignment since December 2015 and that "it is difficult to envision a circumstance that would allow him to return to active priesthood."
Miqueli could not immediately be reached for comment.

Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity David Clarke is Positive . It's not enough to tell people that if they see something they should say something as often people do not know what to watch for and report former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said Tuesday.
"There are a lot of people 350 million people in the United States " Clarke told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program while commenting about the deadly Las Vegas concert shooting. "They are not all known to law enforcement so where I would start is doing a better job of engaging the public to help us out."
Clarke described Paddock Tuesday at the "needle in the haystack reference that you hear in homeland security enterprise and environment and at times like this the call to report troubled people starts over.
"We don't tell people specifically you know what to do what to look for " said Clarke . "I have been in law enforcement for nearly 40 years. I'm suspicious about everything."
Clarke said he has no doubt that as the investigation unfolds there will be details that are now obvious in hindsight.
"We [should] do a better job of engaging the public say here are the sort of things you need to look for and an ongoing campaign to do that " said Clarke . "We spent a lot of money to see something say something campaign. I wonder what the results are."
News broke Monday that Paddock's father had been on the FBI's Most Wanted List back in the 1960s and Clarke said it will take a behavioral scientist to unwrap the shooter and his motives.
"We saw it in Orlando " said Clarke . "We saw it in San Bernardino. We saw it a Fort Hood. After a while you look and what you hear over and over again is like some of the people's closest neighbors and friends saying 'hey he seemed like a normal guy to me.' Oftentimes not."
Clarke said he expects Paddock's girlfriend Marilou Danley who was out of the country at the time of the shooting will shed some light on his motives.

The younger Bush son of former Governor Jeb Bush and the grandson of the 41st president George H.W. Bush was reported to have had an hour-long meeting with the editorial board on Friday â Confederate Heroes Day.
Bush told the board he would honor the law by offering his employees a skeleton crew day but he does not think the holiday should continue to be recognized.
Elected in 2014 after having no formidable opposition in the primary Bush is now facing three Republican opponents in March.
One of his opponents former Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson told Breitbart Texas on Sunday that Bush is about a 0-20 no-show at political forums in Texas. Bush is being criticized for his efforts with âReimagine the Alamo â as reported by the San Antonio Express-News and other outlets.

Teacher: Given a document, an entity and its sentiment towards the entity, verify if it is the correct sentiment towards the entity. Answer should be yes or no. Note that URLs in the text have been replaced with [Link].
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Clinton is Positive . Bill Clinton knows how to win friends and influence people. The former president is a master of reinvention — and the same talents that guided him into office have propelled him, more recently, into the stratosphere of Internet stardom.
Solution: yes
Reason: Here the author of the document praises Bill for this ability to win friends. Hence the sentiment should be Positive and the answer is yes.
Now, solve this instance: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steven Mnuchin is Neutral . Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced Friday that the United States is imposing the toughest sanctions ever put in place against the Communist regime in North Korea for its nuclear program.
âThis action targets the deceptive shipping practices that enable the Kim regime to fund its dangerous weapons programs â Mnuchin said. âOur actions target shipping and trade companies vessels and individuals across the world who we know are working on North Koreaâs behalf.â
Specifically Mnuchin said the sanctions target 27 entities 28 vessels and 1 individual for evading existing sanctions.
âTodayâs actions will significantly hinder North Koreaâs ability to conduct evasive maritime activities that facilitate illicit coal and fuel transports limit the regimeâs ability to ship goods through international waters â Mnuchin said. âOur actions are part of the ongoing maximum economic pressure campaign to cut off sources of revenue that this regime derives from the U.N. and U.S. prohibited trades to fund its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.â
âWe are releasing new imagery of the deceptive shipping practices used by those who aid and profit from illicit trade with North Korea â Mnuchin said.
Mnuchin said the images from December of last year show transfer of fuel and other products from ships to ships bound for North Korea.
âThey shine a spotlight on the practices employed by the government of North Korea to falsify identifying information on ships and conceal illicit cargo â Mnuchin stated noting this behavior also violates the United Nations Security Council resolutions.
He said the U.S. is âputting companies and countries on noticeâ about dealings with North Korea and that the Trump administration âviews compliance with U.S. and U.N. sanctions as a national security imperative.â
âThe United States will leverage our economic strength to enforce President Trumpâs directive that any company that chooses to help North Korea fund its nuclear and ballistic missile programs will not be allowed to do business with anyone in the United States â Mnuchin said.
Mnuchin slammed North Korea for financing nuclear weapons while its people suffer and starve.
Meanwhile at the White House Mnuchin said the U.S. is determined to reach its ultimate goal for North Korea.
âThe United States will not sit idly by while he threatens American allies and territories â Mnuchin said. âThis administration is committed to full irreversible and permanent denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.â

The former president is a master of reinvention — and the same talents that guided him into office have propelled him, more recently, into the stratosphere of Internet stardom.
Example solution: yes
Example explanation: Here the author of the document praises Bill for this ability to win friends. Hence the sentiment should be Positive and the answer is yes.
Problem: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald J. Trump is Neutral . It was a gamble but polling suggested it might be working. His opponent Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam saw his lead over Gillespie erode over the past few weeks. Trump weighed in for Gillespie in a series of tweets and with automated Election Day phone calls encouraging turnout.
.@EdWGillespie will totally turn around the high crime and poor economic performance of VA. MS-13 and crime will be gone. Vote today ASAP! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7 2017
Trump wasted no time in distancing himself from Gillespie enjoying the spaciousness of his now-280-character tweets.
Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats and with the economy doing record numbers we will continue to win even bigger than before! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 8 2017
We’ve noted before that Trump has an insurance premium against any calls for his impeachment. His popularity with Republicans has slipped since the beginning of his presidency but he ’s still very popular with them particularly more conservative members of his party. (Per Gallup more than 9 in 10 conservative Republicans approve of Trump .) Because Republican Party primaries see an overrepresentation of conservatives that meant that Republicans eager to win reelection to Congress were less likely to turn on the president.
Trump’s tweet distancing himself from Gillespie sugarcoats the election in a way that may make Trump feel better but probably isn’t fooling anyone on Capitol Hill. His claim that the GOP won four of four federal races misses a few important points. The first is that those races were in Republican-held districts. The second is that the Democrats saw big gains in most of those races relative to past elections. The third is that the figure is actually four of five; Trump likes to ignore a race in California won by the Democrats.
But it also does something very dangerous for Trump right now. It shows yet again that he isn’t loyal to his political partners.
We’ve seen this before. When Trump backed the House effort to repeal and replace Obamacare (having no plan of his own) he responded to its passage by declaring the bill to be “mean” — as though he hadn’t previously claimed it was nearly without flaws. (It was health care not immigration that was the big issue in Virginia according to exit polls. Northam won among voters concerned about health care by a more than 3-to-1 margin.) Even before Election Day in Alabama earlier this year Trump began to distance himself from his preferred candidate Republican Senate primary Luther Strange hinting that he had perhaps made a mistake — a shift that was certainly informed by polls showing a likely Strange loss. When that happened Trump deleted some of his tweets of endorsement.
Strange’s campaign unlike Gillespie’s didn’t embrace Trumpist politics such as the threat of the gang MS-13. He tried to win as a more typical establishment conservative to no avail. Gillespie tried to more directly embrace Trump politics — and lost badly. And then saw Trump turn on him.
Think of the message that Trump has sent to Republicans. Stand with him on policy and have him bad-mouth what you passed. Embrace his endorsement and see a loss followed by Trump playing down his support. Embrace his endorsement and his politics and see a loss followed by actual criticism. These are all one-offs — but politics generally suffers from a small sample size from which to draw conclusions and no one spends more time trying to draw conclusions than politicians.
Bannon’s track record in electoral politics? He helped Trump lose the popular vote and win the electoral college in 2016. He embraced Luther Strange’s opponent after Strange was trailing. And now he watched the “Trump-Stewart talking points” lead nowhere.
On its home page Breitbart also championed Trump ’s argument that Gillespie should have embraced him more robustly. That’s a flawed theory. Trump is very unpopular in Virginia and Northam won among those who disapprove of Trump by a 7-to-1 margin according to preliminary exit polls. A third of voters said their vote in the race was meant to send a message of opposition to Trump — twice as many as said it was a message of support.
What’s more Trump made his feelings clear. Those who wanted to vote for Trump’s candidate knew who that candidate was. As in Alabama voters went in another direction.
It’s critical to remember that Democrats were supposed to win this race albeit not necessarily by as wide a margin as they did. Democrats hold the governor’s mansion and Hillary Clinton won by five points last year. Trump could have congratulated Gillespie on a hard-fought race and noted the uphill battle. Instead he decided to try to spin the loss to his advantage.
It’s unlikely that many Republicans worried about next November will be convinced by Trump ’s argument. Instead they’re likely to take another lesson: Trump can’t deliver a victory for you when you’re trailing and neither can Trumpism. (In fact there’s every reason to think that Trump was the liability that his poll numbers would suggest with Gillespie doing fine in western Virginia but getting beaten badly in more-Democratic Northern Virginia.) Nor will Trump stand with you should things go south.
If next summer the question of Trump ’s fate as president is raised how might Republicans in center-right districts be expected to evaluate that decision?

Fox added that more kids are killed per year from "pool drownings or bicycle accidents."
Fox said that while making policy changes on guns could possibly lower school shootings it is highly unlikely that they will stop them from happening as the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history was committed using handguns.
âThe thing to remember is that these are extremely rare events and no matter what you can come up with to prevent it the shooter will have a workaround â Fox said. âThere is not an epidemic of school shootings.â

New input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nabeel Rajab is Positive . DUBAI (Reuters) - Bahrain’s top court on Monday upheld a two-year prison sentence imposed last year by a lower tribunal on rights campaigner Nabeel Rajab over comments he was alleged to have made to journalists a rights group said.
The London-based Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD) said in a statement that the Court of Cassation’s ruling was the last level of appeal in a case that began in mid-2016 when Rajab was arrested over tweets suggesting that security forces had tortured detainees in a prison.
Rajab a leading figure in pro-democracy protests that swept Bahrain in 2011 was convicted last year of making “false or malicious” statements about authorities in Bahrain.
The charges arose from a January 2015 interview cited by the prosecution in which he was alleged to have said that Bahrain was holding political prisoners who were subject to torture.
Amnesty International called Rajab ’s imprisonment “a flagrant violation of human rights and an alarming sign that the Bahraini authorities will go to any length to silence criticism”.
The U.N. human rights office last year called on Bahrain to “unconditionally and immediately” release Rajab .
BIRD said Rajab who underwent surgery for a bleeding ulcer last year faces up to 15 years in jail over a second hearing related to comments he is alleged to have made on Twitter. A verdict is expected on February 21.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Charles Taylor is Neutral . Sirleaf 70 acknowledged before the commission in February that she gave up to $10 000 to a rebel group headed by Charles Taylor. Sirleaf said the money she sent while an expatriate was meant for humanitarian services and that she was never a member of the group the National Patriotic Front.
Information Minister Laurence Bropleh said Monday evening if the public had had any dissatisfaction with Sirleaf's involvement with Taylor at the time they would have voted against her in 2005.
In 2005 the Liberian people knew that President Sirleaf had contributed $10 000 to Taylor's movement Bropleh said.
An AP correspondent and others who covered the Liberian war can recall no humanitarian works by Taylor and his fighters especially in the first months of the war when tens of thousands of refugees were fleeing across the borders to Ivory Coast and Guinea where they were helped by international and government agencies.
Then most atrocities were committed by Doe's forces and Taylor was welcomed as a liberator fighting a barbaric dictatorship.
"In defense of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf she never hid the fact that she was curious about Taylor and what he was all about " said Huband who drove with Johnson Sirleaf on her first trip to meet Taylor in May 1990. "A lot of people supported the idea of Doe being ousted and there had been so many attempts and they all were foiled at least one with the help of the American government which continued to support Doe despite his brutality."
"I never had the impression that Sirleaf supported Taylor certainly not after it became clear his troops were out of control " Huband said. "Certainly there was no way she could predict the kind of atrocities that would be committed (by Taylor's fighters) ..."

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Alan Dershowitz is Negative . On Tuesdayâs broadcast of the Fox News Channelâs âAmericaâs Newsroom â Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz stated Special Counsel Robert Mueller is âvery zealous.â He later added that Mueller wonât be content until he gets to President Trump or those âvery closeâ to him and this is the danger of special prosecutors.
Dershowitz said that both parties are guilty of arguing that everything they disagree with is criminal and this behavior started with Republicans during the campaign with Hillary Clinton and then continued by Democrats.
Dershowitz then recalled his experience with Mueller. He stated that he talked to Mueller about prosecutorial and FBI misconduct and Mueller stated âItâs a non-starter to talk to me about FBI misconduct or prosecutorial misconduct. Itâs a non-starter. He doesnât want to hear about that. He is in the business of protecting the FBI protecting prosecutors at all costs. I donât suggest he âs unethical but he âs very zealous.â
He added that this makes Mueller âeffective at his job but the job of a prosecutor is to do justice not to get as many notches on his belt as possible.â
Dershowitz further stated Mueller is ânot going to be satisfied until he gets to the president or people very close to him . Thatâs the danger of a special prosecutor.â
Dershowitz also stated the tactic of finding someone to prosecute in order to get them to talk is âdangerousâ because people will âcomposeâ and make things up to get a better deal. He continued âLook if an ordinary person walked over to somebody and said âUnless you give up your rights Iâm going to have you criminally prosecuted â weâd call that extortion. But itâs allowed by prosecutors. And Iâve been railing against this for 53 years. now Republicans agree with me. ⦠Which side are you on has become so important.â

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Cara Jesse Nuno is Negative . Cara and Jesse Nuno
Who: Cara and Jesse Nuno
How much: $272 261 in five years
Cara and Jesse Nuno (Photo: NerdWallet.com)
Six years ago Cara and Jesse Nuno could not imagine a debt-free life.
Cara : I think I had suggested [going to a credit counselor] in the past but at the time Jess was too proud to talk to them .
Jesse: In 2012 I can’t remember if we saw the advertisement [for the agency] on TV or not but somehow it just kinda clicked so we went to them . They gave us April’s number.
April (credit counselor): The majority of their debt was old and in collections so they were really at the “cleanup stage” and [handling each debt] one at a time more than all together. They used a mix of different techniques to address the collections. Some needed to be disputed as already paid or invalid. They also had some that appeared to be past the statute of limitations so they first needed to verify this with an attorney and then dispute. Others they settled on but most they made paid in full.
Cara : We kept looking each month at what we had and the progress we had made. Slowly but surely as we disputed and paid down our debts our credit scores went up.
Jesse : Same for me. I was looking forward to the future where one day we ’d be able to buy things again.
April: When Jesse and Cara first came to me in 2012 their credit scores were 536 and 584 respectively. As of 2016 Cara’s was 667 and Jesse ’s was 758.
Jesse : I seem to be sleeping better at night not tossing and turning like I used to figuring how I’m going to pay this or how I’m going to pay that. It takes its toll — I got the gray hair to prove it.
Cara : We ’d like to do some work on the house and get our vehicles paid off. Now we have a budget and Jess pays all our bills early.
Cara : It’s OK to ask for counseling to get started with a plan to get your debt paid off. Don’t be embarrassed to ask for help because you’re not the only person that’s been there.

Beyrer is professor of epidemiology with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore.
He and his colleagues noted that roughly 19.5 million HIV patients â or approximately half the global population of HIV patients â are now being treated with ART.
That will be "enormously difficult " said Beyrer .
At the same time Beyrer said those already infected but not yet treated should be given access to newer types of ART "cocktails " including drugs such as dolutegravir that have "higher genetic barriers to resistance."
Drug resistance may ultimately also pose a risk for PrEP though for the time being Beyrer characterizes PrEP resistance as "very rare."

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Schaffer Wice is Neutral . The media-savvy special prosecutors have colluded with the Fourth Estate to try — and convict — Paxton in the court of public opinion long before the case even comes to trial. Wice in particular is an aspiring media celebrity serving as a TV “legal analyst” on Houston’s Channel 2 (KPRC) since 2003. Think of a male version of Nancy Grace or Greta Van Susteren — a Dan Abrams wannabe. One profile described the bombastic Wice as a “media magnet” who “never shies away from the spotlight.” The KPRC website brags that
Beginning the very day Schaffer and Wice were appointed by Becker the prosecutors were in contact with the media shamelessly promoting themselves by mass distributing press statements and publicity photos. Schaffer and Wice obviously intended to milk the case for all the news coverage they could get for two self-serving reasons: to poison the well of public opinion against Paxton and to generate free advertising to attract future clients. Neither motive is ethical for a special prosecutor. Yet Wice has conceded that pretrial media coverage “impacts the way potential jurors view our client’s case long before they are ushered into the courtroom for voir dire. Being able to effectively represent your client on the courthouse steps can be every bit as important as representing them inside the courtroom.”
Moreover Wice once cynically acknowledged the economic benefits of making media appearances informing fellow lawyers that “appearing on TV is client development — free advertising — that might well yield future business. And you never can tell what that one local or with a bit of good fortune national TV appearance can do for you or your practice.” Exploiting the media in other words is the latest form of ambulance chasing. “Celebrity” attorneys like the Kardashians are famous for being famous.
In that vein Schaffer and Wice continued a steady stream of self-aggrandizing communications with the press corps during the “investigation” and grand jury phases despite the strict secrecy associated with the grand jury process. The special prosecutors had numerous communications (by email and telephone) with the New York Times’ reporter early in the case following which the NYT reported Paxton’s indictment on August 1 2015 before the indictment was even unsealed. Was this national media scoop a coincidence? The special prosecutors were the obvious source of the highly-unprofessional leak but the press corps gratefully reciprocated by uncritically reporting Wice ’s spin as “news.”
In addition to regularly sending eager reporters status updates and copies of pleadings and orders on at least two occasions Wice circulated to the media Paxton’s annual Personal Financial Statement presumably to encourage reporters to scrutinize the donors to Paxton’s legal defense fund — a wholly improper purpose. In an even more egregious breach of propriety Wice emailed a copy of Paxton’s booking “mugshot” to his KPRC colleague reporter Phil Archer shortly after Paxton was released on bail. The only word to describe this type of conduct is “sleazy.”
Intemperately denouncing Paxton’s legal arguments as “frivolous” and “clearly baseless ” the special prosecutors’ tone toward Paxton dripped with contempt as they delivered sound bites to groveling reporters on deadline. When asked by a reporter about a new attorney joining the Paxton defense team to deal with the federal civil case (which was ultimately dismissed with prejudice) Schaffer sarcastically responded “Never heard of him. Looks like we set off the Lawyer Relief Act…” When a prominent Paxton supporter wrote an op-ed in the Midland Reporter-Telegram criticizing the indictment the thin-skinned prosecutors immediately issued a florid press statement — presumably on the taxpayers’ nickel — condemning the piece as a “rant” containing “lies bathed in the cologne of half-truths fabrications and disinformation.”
Mimicking the prosecutors’ flippant and unprofessional tone some reporters began running stories with shockingly-unbalanced headlines such as “Another Day Another Idiotic Ken Paxton Motion ” which Schaffer and Wice gleefully circulated to their media contacts with the message “I love it.” If media outlets did not parrot the prosecutors’ swaggering narrative they were cut off from “insider access.”
This incestuous arrangement likely explains why the Dallas Morning News which was closely following the Paxton case never reported the bombshell mentioned in Part 2 — that Schaffer was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a federal RICO case against the leader of the Bandidos motorcycle gang — a revelation that would have greatly tarnished the special prosecutors’ undeserved Boy Scout image — which McGaughy had gone to extraordinary lengths to burnish.
This apparently referred to Paxton’s retention of a defense team that included Dan Cogdell and Philip Hilder with respect to whom Schaffer and Wice issued polite public statements.
The hundreds of email exchanges between the prosecutors and reporters (McGaughy in particular) are clearly collusive. With the avid cooperation of the press corps for two and a half years Schaffer and Wice have been busy smearing Paxton through leaks and planted stories all while risibly claiming to be “seeking justice on behalf of the people of Texas.”
To re-cap this series: The baseless politicized prosecution of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been a travesty on many levels. Following the recusal of Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis the matter should not have been referred to mercenary “special prosecutors” for investigation; Schaffer (the unindicted co-conspirator in a RICO case) and Wice (an incorrigible diva) were not suitable for the assignment in any event; the open-ended compensation arrangement agreed to by Judge Scott Becker was both unlawful and foolhardy; the grand jury indictment improperly obtained by the unscrupulous prosecutors amounts to fabricated felonies — made-up crimes never previously prosecuted in a Texas court; the overtly-biased George Gallagher presided over the case as a farcical kangaroo court; changing the venue of the case to Harris County was an absurd and outrageous denial of due process to Paxton; et cetera ad infinitum.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is Neutral . The London-based Arabic daily newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi reports this morning that former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been arrested by security forces for allegedly inciting unrest against the government according to âreliable sources in Tehran.â
Starting in November 2017 Ahmadinejad began making what was widely viewed as a surprise political comeback while running a populist message focusing on the fight against corruption as his main emphasis and attacking the rich and corrupt along with severe criticisms against the government for squandering public funding intended for the peopleâs welfare. Heâs also reported to have broadly utilized social media for aggressive rhetoric targeting the judiciary and challenging Iranâs supreme leader.
Al Quds Al Arabi cites Ahmadinejad âs visit to the western city of Bushehr on December 28 as raising concern among authorities. That particular Thursday is when large-scale protests were first reported primarily starting in Mashhad Iranâs second largest city. He is reported to have said âSome of the current leaders live detached from the problems and concerns of the people and do not know anything about the reality of society.â He also allegedly charged Tehran with âmismanagementâ and directed attacks against President Hassan Rouhani saying his regime âbelieves that they own the land and that the people are an ignorant society.â
Previously this week there were rumors that his arrest was coming amidst an ongoing investigation as multiple regional and international reports cited a commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as indicating that âa former leader of the countryâ had provoked people to protest. Al Quds Al Arabi is currently describing Ahmadinejad âs detention as a âhouse arrestâ.
It is possible that this latest news of Ahmadinejad âs arrest on charges of incitement however could renew mass anti-government protests.

After bloody clashes between the Thai army and opposition demonstrators killed some 90 people in the center of Bangkok in May the unelected government of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva promised to launch what he called a "national reconciliation plan." Since then authorities have arrested hundreds of opposition leaders; closed media; frozen the bank accounts of suspected supporters of the Bangkok demonstrations and brought terrorism charges against the movement's exiled leader Thaksin Shinawatra.
On July 6 Mr. Abhisit renewed a state of emergency in Bangkok and 18 other provinces allowing his regime to arrest and hold people without charge censor the media and prevent public gatherings. Meanwhile he has announced that the parliamentary elections he had offered to hold in November will be postponed until next year. If this is what he calls "national reconciliation " Mr. Abhisit a graduate of Eton and Oxford must have taken a lesson in Orwellian language.
Mr. Thaksin and the red shirts have contributed to Thailand's impasse by blockading the center of Bangkok for two months last spring and for refusing the compromise Mr. Abhisit offered before the violence began and the army moved in. But the root cause of the troubles is the refusal of the traditional political class the military and the royal court which Mr. Abhisit's government represents to accept the results of democratic elections.
Repression will not solve this problem. If Mr. Abhisit really wants reconciliation the steps he must take are clear: End the state of emergency release the red shirt leaders and negotiate leading to elections with a commitment by all sides to allow the winners to rule within the boundaries of a reformed constitution.

Input: Consider Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Paul Bauer is Negative . I sit here writing a letter that I never thought Iâd have to write. On Feb. 13 my husband and Graceâs dad Paul Bauer was violently taken from us. Needless to say our hearts are broken in a million pieces and our lives are forever changed. But thatâs not the reason I am writing.
Paul would have been terribly upset that he inconvenienced so many people with the parking restrictions in our beloved Bridgeport. He would have winced at the thought that the Dan Ryan closed down for the funeral procession. He never wanted to be in the spotlight. He never thought of himself only others.
I want to thank those of you who waited for hours in the cold to attend his wake and funeral. You have no idea how much that meant to us.
I knew Paul Bauer and he was as wonderful as people are saying »
Hundreds gather at Bridgeport church for Cmdr. Paul Bauer 's wake »

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Sebastian Kurz is Negative . Early exit polls of Austria's Oct. 15 election suggest Sebastian Kurz will take his party into a very narrow majority — positioning himself as the next chancellor. The 31-year old conservative is known for his pledge to take the country into a more hard line stance against the influx of refugees and migrants. (Reuters)
Early exit polls of Austria's Oct. 15 election suggest Sebastian Kurz will take his party into a very narrow majority — positioning himself as the next chancellor. The 31-year old conservative is known for his pledge to take the country into a more hard line stance against the influx of refugees and migrants. (Reuters)
The result puts the 31-year-old foreign minister and People’s Party leader Sebastian Kurz in line to become Austria’s next chancellor after a campaign in which he emphasized the need to strengthen border controls reduce caps on refugees and slash benefits for newcomers.
“I’ll fight with all my strength for change in this country ” Kurz told cheering supporters — many clad in turquoise the color he adopted to signal a new era for the People’s Party after decades of identification with black. “There’s a lot to do.”

But unlike in those nations in Austria the far right is expected to become part of the government. Kurz will need a coalition partner to form a majority in the parliament and the Freedom Party is considered the most likely option.
If he goes that route it would end a “grand coalition” between Austria’s center left and center right that has led the country for the past decade and for much of its modern history.
Some on Sunday called on Kurz to avoid teaming up with the Freedom Party.
“We strongly urge Mr. Kurz to form a coalition of centrist parties and not be beholden to a party of the far-right in his new coalition government ” European Jewish Congress President Moshe Kantor said in a statement. “A party which has run on a platform of xenophobic intolerance and the targeting of immigrants must not be granted a seat at the governing table.”
Kern hinted that the party would be willing to serve in a coalition government. But analysts consider such a possibility unlikely given the rightward tilt of the electorate — as well as the bad blood that developed between the two establishment parties after a scandal involving fake Facebook pages that smeared Kurz and were attributed to a Social Democratic operative.
The elevation of Kurz to chancellor would put another young and charismatic leader at the helm of a European government after the election of 39-year-old Emmanuel Macron in France.
Kurz though ideologically to the right of Macron modeled much of his campaign after the Frenchman’s. The Austrian politician styled his run for the nation’s highest office as a movement not a conventional election and personalized his party informally renaming it “the Sebastian Kurz List.”
Kritzinger said Kurz ’s opponents were flummoxed by how to counteract the charismatic People’s Party leader who took the reins in the party this year and promptly remade it as his own.
“From a rhetoric perspective he ’s an absolute talent ” Kritzinger said. “The other parties didn’t know how to deal with him .”

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ndamukong Suh is Negative . Whoa cautions Ndamukong Suh not so fast my friend.
The Cornhuskers seemed to snare a bit of their lost aura in 2008 winning six of their last seven games. But Suh is hardly ready to compare his defensive unit to those from the glory days.
In fact continuing the rebuilding process is one reason why the defensive tackle returned for his senior year instead of being an almost guaranteed high pick in the NFL draft.
"I definitely want to be part of bringing back the tradition of the Blackshirts " said Suh the Big 12's preseason defensive player of the year. "That's a tough tradition to live up to."
Under defensive-minded new head coach Bo Pelini the respective numbers above improved to 349.8 28.5 and 49 -- better but still not what Suh and Pelini consider acceptable.
"We're getting closer " Suh said "but we're definitely not where we need to be. We still have room to grow."
But with an untested quarterback at the controls of an offense with just four starters returning it will be up to Suh and the defense to keep the Huskers afloat early in the season. Suh says he's looking forward to the task.
"I definitely want to be part of bringing back the tradition of the Blackshirts " he said. "We want to start being the kind of dominant team that everyone wants to hunt."
Pelini says Suh is that kind of talent.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hillary Clinton is Neutral . -LSB- 107 -RSB- As First Lady of Arkansas again , she made a point of using Hillary Rodham Clinton as her name .
-LSB- 289 -RSB- Despite attempts by both Hillary and Obama to downplay the issue , Democratic voting became more polarized as a result , with Clinton losing much of her support among African Americans .
-LSB- 141 -RSB- Beginning with Daniel Wattenberg 's August 1992 The American Spectator article "The Lady Macbeth of Little Rock" , Hillary 's own past ideological and ethical record came under attack from conservatives .
Going into the early stages of her presidential campaign for 2008 , a Time magazine cover showed a large picture of her , with two checkboxes labeled "Love Her" , "Hate Her" , -LSB- 557 -RSB- while Mother Jones titled its profile of her "Harpy , Hero , Heretic : Hillary" .
-LSB- 135 -RSB- During the campaign , Hillary made culturally disparaging remarks about Tammy Wynette 's outlook on marriage as described in her classic song "Stand by Your Man" , -LSB- d -RSB- and later in the campaign about how she could have chosen to be like women staying home and baking cookies and having teas , but wanted to pursue her career instead .
When Bill Clinton became president in 1993 , a blind trust was established ; in April 2007 , the Clintons liquidated the blind trust to avoid the possibility of ethical conflicts or political embarrassments as Hillary undertook her presidential race .
When Bill Clinton took office as President in January 1993 , Hillary Rodham Clinton became the First Lady and her press secretary reiterated that she would be using that form of her name .
Issues that surrounded the Lewinsky scandal left Bill Clinton with substantial legal bills ; in 2014 , Hillary would state that she and Bill had left the White House "not only dead broke , but in debt ."
-LSB- 549 -RSB- McGill University professor of history Gil Troy titled his 2006 biography of her Hillary Rodham Clinton : Polarizing First Lady and wrote that after the 1992 campaign , Clinton "was a polarizing figure , with 42 percent -LSB- of the public -RSB- saying she came closer to their values and lifestyle than previous first ladies and 41 percent disagreeing ."
-LSB- 567 -RSB- -LSB- 568 -RSB- Newsweek editor Jon Meacham summed the relationship between Clinton and the American public by saying that the New Hampshire events "brought an odd truth to light : though Hillary Rodham Clinton has been on the periphery or in the middle of national life for decades ... she is one of the most recognizable but least understood figures in American politics ."
In January 1993 , President Clinton named Hillary to chair a Task Force on National Health Care Reform , hoping to replicate the success she had in leading the effort for Arkansas education reform .
Enactment of welfare reform was a major goal of Bill Clinton 's presidency , but when the first two bills on the issue came from a Republican-controlled Congress that lacked protections for people coming off welfare , Hillary urged him to veto the bills , which he did .
-LSB- f -RSB- From the time she came to Washington , Hillary also found refuge in a prayer group of the Fellowship that featured many wives of conservative Washington figures .
-LSB- 170 -RSB- -LSB- 171 -RSB- This caused a rift with Edelman that Hillary later called "sad and painful" .
A 2006 survey by the New York Observer found "a virtual cottage industry" of "anti-Clinton literature" , put out by Regnery Publishing and other conservative imprints , with titles such as Madame Hillary : The Dark Road to the White House , Hillary 's Scheme : Inside the Next Clinton 's Ruthless Agenda to Take the White House and Can She Be Stopped ?
When she ran for Senate in 2000 , a number of fundraising groups such as Save Our Senate and the Emergency Committee to Stop Hillary Rodham Clinton sprang up to oppose her .
During her husband 's campaign , Hillary began to use the name "Hillary Clinton" , or sometimes "Mrs. Bill Clinton" , to assuage the concerns of Arkansas voters ; she also took a leave of absence from Rose Law to campaign for him full-time .

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Albu Kamal is Positive . Beirut (AFP) â Syrian troops and allied militiamen entered the jihadist-held town of Albu Kamal on Wednesday state media said edging closer to ousting the Islamic State group from its last urban stronghold in the country.
Albu Kamal lies on the Syrian side of the border with Iraq in the oil-rich eastern province of Deir Ezzor.
Entry to Albu Kamal follows a series of stunningly quick defeats for IS in the province as well as the jihadistsâ loss of their de facto capital Raqa further north.
âArmy troops and allied forces broke through Daesh (IS) defences and entered Albu Kamal waging fierce battles inside the town â state news agency SANA reported.
Syrian regime forces backed by intensive Russian air strikes have steadily advanced on Albu Kamal from the south and west for weeks.
âThe advance towards Albu Kamal came after army troops and their allies met up with Iraqi forces at the border between the two countries â SANA said.
A source from militias allied to Damascus told AFP that fighters from Lebanonâs pro-regime Hezbollah movement had advanced to the southern edges of Albu Kamal on Wednesday.
âPart of those units crossed into Iraq with the help of Hashed al-Shaabi units to circle around Albu Kamal and reach the northern side of the town â the source added.
But the jihadist group has seen that territory shrink to a small pocket along the Euphrates River with Albu Kamal as its final hub.
In recent weeks an estimated 120 000 people have been displaced from Albu Kamal alone said Linda Tom from the United Nationsâ humanitarian affairs coordination office in Damascus.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Meredith is Negative . NEW YORK (Reuters Breakingviews) - Time beat the clock. After rejecting at least two earlier entreaties the publisher of Fortune Sports Illustrated and other magazines agreed to be acquired by rival Meredith for $1.8 billion which includes a hefty 46 percent premium. It’s a lucky break because a go-it-alone strategy looked doomed. Bountiful cost savings however will go to the buyer and its new billionaire backers.
Fortunately for Time shareholders Meredith has been a persistent suitor. After failed merger efforts over the last few years the $18.50-a-share all-cash offer provides nearly $600 million more than the target’s market value when deal talks surfaced on Nov. 16.
The presence of Charles and David Koch whose private equity fund is kicking in preferred equity to help pay for the acquisition may create concern for some readers because of the brothers’ history of supporting conservative causes. They aren’t getting a board seat though. The investment which resembles one Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim made in the New York Times also includes a solid financial rationale.
Meredith is touting between $400 million and $500 million of cost savings within two years of the companies uniting. Once taxed and capitalized at the low end of that range they would be worth some $2.4 billion today – on a $2.8 billion deal including debt. If nothing else that should buy Meredith and the Kochs some time.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kimberly Loring is Negative . When Ashley Loring HeavyRunner a 20-year-old college student vanished from the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana this summer her older sister Kimberly Loring thought of a promise she once made.
âWhen we were young we were in the foster care system â Kimberly Loring told ABC News. âShe told me âDonât leave me â and I told her âI would never leave you and if you were to get moved I will find you.ââ
Kimberly Loring said she was only 8 years old when she made that promise. But 15 years later with her sister missing for more than four months she said it now seems more important than ever.
âIâm going to keep this promise. Wherever she goes Iâm going to find her â Kimberly Loring said. âIf I have to search my entire life I will search until I find her . â
Kimberly Loring said she learned of her sisterâs disappearance in early June after returning home from a vacation abroad. The sisters had been planning to move Ashley Loring into her sisterâs apartment in the nearby city of Missoula where Kimberly Loring had landed a good job working with senior citizens. Kimberly Loring said she expected to hear from her little sister the moment she got off the plane but she didnât call that day or the next or the day after that.
âI tried to call Ashley and she didnât text me or anything. There was no response from her â Kimberly Loring said. When she couldnât reach her she said she began reaching out to her sisterâs friends on social media but none of them had seen her since June 5.
â She was waiting for me and I know she wouldnât up and leave â Kimberly Loring said adding that her sister was extremely close with her family members and would have told them where she was going. Friends and other family members also told ABC News that it was unlike her to go so long without contacting anyone.
âSomething happened to her â Kimberly Loring said.

âI donât want to be an 80-year-old woman searching these mountains with my grandchildren â Kimberly Loring said. âBut thereâs no choice because if I give up whoâs going to look for her?â
Since Ashley Loringâs disappearance Kimberly Loring quit her job in Missoula and moved back home to the reservation to help look for her . Family members filed a missing person report with tribal police in mid-June. More than four months later they said they still have not heard from her . Tribal police have also been unable to find her .
â She blew everyone out of the waterâ
Growing up the Loring sisters spent several months in foster care before going to live with their grandparents and their other siblings. Life was much better on their grandparentsâ horse ranch Kimberly Loring said. The sisters learned how to ride chopped wood for their grandmotherâs wood stove mucked stalls and swam in a nearby creek until well after the sun disappeared behind the high plains.
â She was a good girl. We didnât have no trouble with her â Loxie Loring the girlsâ grandmother said of Ashley. âI could count on her to get a little more work out of her than the other two.â
Since Ashley Loring disappeared four months ago Loxie Loring said she has barely left the house. She said she sits by the phone for most of the day waiting for her granddaughter to call.
As a student at Blackfeet Community College Ashley Loring was once asked to give a presentation at a college in Bozeman about buffalo her ex-boyfriend Calvin DeRouche said. Her speech earned her praise across the reservation.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Randy Foss Randy is Positive . They aren’t the only ones. An unknown person made a cross out of plywood painted it blue and added letters that read “RIP Randy.” The memorial was left on a bench in downtown Libertyville. Foss was known for quietly sitting on benches outside the former Caribou Coffee and the Methodist church.
“Most of the time he wasn’t one to talk he just liked being around people ” Mason said. “When the restaurants closed people would bring him leftovers. Commuters from the train would say hello to him .”
“There’s nobody else to pay anything and I knew Randy I took care of his parents. He ’d stop by and visit me from time to time ” Dane said. “Anyone from Libertyville who has a problem and passes away I’m not going to let them sit in a morgue.”
Struggling to make ends meet in job after job Mason said Foss felt abused by landlords.
He eventually moved back into his mother’s house until she sold it in the early 2000s and moved into an assisted living facility that prohibited overnight guests Mason said. His mother died in 2004 according to her death notice.
“When she died that’s when he was truly truly homeless ” Mason said noting that in her video Foss talked about keeping valuable possessions in his mother’s apartment and occasionally sneaking in to sleep on the couch.
Foss was arrested numerous times over the years for offenses like public intoxication public urination and failing to appear in court according to news reports.
At one point in his homelessness a butcher in downtown Libertyville let Foss use the store’s address for legal documents and for job applications according to Mason. The store is now out of business.
For a while Foss would rake portions of a Libertyville cemetery and clean a memorial for veterans but Mason said that ended when visitors complained about a homeless man using the water spigot to clean his clothes.
Rick Kambic / Pioneer Press Among the few known possessions of Randy Foss were grade school art projects his mother kept. The items will be on display during a Feb. 5 memorial at the United Methodist Church of Libertyville. Among the few known possessions of Randy Foss were grade school art projects his mother kept.

Mason’s brother Tim worked for the Methodist church and for a while would pay Foss to do janitorial services and allowed him to use the facility to clean up she said.
“During that time he seemed so much better ” Mason said. “ He had a purpose he would do work for the church he would come to the Sunday services and sit in the back he would come when the band was here. Some of that I’m sure got him out of the elements but he was participating even when it was nice out.”
However Mason said her brother took a position at a church in Iowa a few years ago and Foss lost that income.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt recently proposed eliminating federal tax credits for wind and solar power arguing that they should âstand on their own and compete against coal and natural gas and other sourcesâ as opposed to âbeing propped up by tax incentives and other types of credits....â
Stand on their own?
Pruitt surely must be aware that fossil fuels have been feasting at the government trough for at least 100 years. Renewables by comparison have received support only since the mid-1990s and until recently have had to subsist on scraps.
Perhaps a review of the facts can set Administrator Pruitt straight. Thereâs a strong case to be made that Congress should terminate subsidies for fossil fuels and extend them for renewables not the other way around.
A new study by Oil Change International brings us up-to-date. Published earlier this month it found that federal subsidies in 2015 and 2016 averaged $10.9 billion a year for the oil and gas industry and $3.8 billion for the coal industry. By contrast the wind industryâs so-called production tax credit renewed by Congress in December 2015 amounted to $3.3 billion last year according to a Congress Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate. Unlike the fossil fuel industryâs permanent subsidies Congress has allowed the wind tax credit to expire six times in the last 20 years and it is now set to decline incrementally until ending in 2020. Similarly Congress fixed the solar industryâs investment tax credit at 30 percent of a projectâs cost through 2019 but reduced it to 10 percent for commercial projects and zeroed it out for residences by the end of 2021. The JCT estimates that the solar credit amounted to a $2.4-billion tax break last year. Totaling it up fossil fuels â at $14.7 billion â still received two-and-a-half times more in federal support than solar and wind in 2016.

"Both our parents passed away in the United States. He doesn't know anyone he wouldn't know where to go."
She added " He doesn't even speak Polish."
Niec pled guilty to the charges and under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act he got to avoid having a criminal record since he was a young first-time offender.
"Until this gets heard which could be up to six months he could be stuck in a prison cell and not helping and being with his family " said Niec-Villaire.
Niec 's arrest comes as the Trump administration continues its war on illegal immigrants.
ICE hasn't commented on what caused the agency to look into Niec 's case but a spokesman for the ICE Detroit Field Office told MLive.com he was looking into it.
