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.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roger Kelly is Positive . I had my white secretary who typically booked my band and assisted me with my music business set up a meeting with the Maryland grand dragon Roger Kelly explaining that her boss was writing a book on the Klan and would like his input. Per my instructions she did not reveal the color of my skin.
Kelly agreed to participate and we secured a room at a Frederick Md. motel where my secretary filled an ice bucket with cans of soda so I could offer my guest a drink. Regardless of how and what he felt about me if he entered my room after seeing the color of my skin I was going to treat him with hospitality.
Punctual to the minute there was a knock on the door. The grand nighthawk (the grand dragon’s bodyguard) entered first and then the dragon himself. “Hello ” I began “I’m Daryl Davis.” I offered my palm and Kelly shook my hand as he and the nighthawk introduced themselves. He sat in the chair I had set out and the nighthawk stood at attention beside him .
We were both apprehensive of the other and the interview started haltingly. We discussed what he had hoped to achieve by joining the Klan; what his thoughts were on blacks Asians Jews and Hispanics; and whether he thought it would ever be possible for different races to get along. A little while later we heard an inexplicable crackling noise and we both tensed. The dragon and I stared each other in the eye silently asking “What did you just do?” The nighthawk reached for his gun. Nobody spoke. I barely breathed.
Even though Kelly had told me he knew that white people were superior to blacks our dialogue continued over the years. He would visit me in my home and I would eventually be a guest in his . We would share many meals together even though he thought I was inferior. Within a couple of years he rose to the rank of imperial wizard the top national leadership position in the Klan.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rodrigo Duterte is Negative . Outspoken Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte added to his legendary list of outrageous claims Thursday when he bragged about stabbing a person to death when he was 16 years old -- and Duterte raised even more eyebrows when he reportedly later called former President Barack Obama "so black and arrogant."
In a defiant speech hitting back at critics of his deadly drug crackdown Duterte said he would go into jails and have “rumbles here rumbles there.”
“At the age of 16 I already killed someone. A real person a rumble a stabbing ” Duterte said during a summit in the Vietnamese city of Danang according to the BBC. “I was just 16 years old. It was just over a look. How much more now that I am president.”
A spokesman for Duterte said the remarks had been made “in jest.”
Duterte also hit Obama slamming his former U.S. counterpart for criticizing the Philippines drug war.
“These white people those from [the European Union] the ignorant Americans pretending to be this Obama ” Duterte said according to The Philippine Star. “You are so black and arrogant. [He] reprimanded me. Why you reprimand me? I’m the president of a country.”
Since Duterte took office 16 months ago police said more than 3 960 people have been killed in the war on drugs. Another 2 290 people have been murdered in drug-related crimes the government said.
Last year Duterte said he would be “happy to slaughter” millions of drug addicts and that he even fatally shot criminals while he was mayor of the southern city of Davao to set an example for police.
Thursday was not even the first time he has mentioned stabbing and killing someone while a teenager. In 2015 he told the Philippines edition of Esquire magazine that during a “tumultuous fight in the beach” when he was 17 “maybe I stabbed somebody to death.”
It’s unclear if he was referring to the same incident in Thursday’s speech.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Aaron Judge is Positive . TAMPA â Aaron Judge still rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery has been doing most of his work outside of public view.
So when Judge was seen Saturday working with Yankees outfield coordinator Reggie Willets in center field new manager Aaron Boone was forced to tackle the subject of whether the 2017 AL Rookie of the Year would see time in center.
âYou never say never â Boone said. âBut there are no plans for that right now.â
But there are plans to use Judge in left field thanks to the arrival of fellow right fielder Giancarlo Stanton.
And it will be up to Willets who worked with Judge in the minors to make sure Judge (and perhaps Stanton) can play left.
âI think no matter what thereâs gonna be an adjustment ââ Willets said of Judge switching corners. âBut when youâre as athletic as him and youâve played before itâs not gonna be a problem. He âs done it in college and as hard as he works I know he âs gonna get it no matter what it is.â
As he jogged off the practice field Saturday Judge was asked how it felt to be back in center â even if temporarily.
âPretty natural â Judge said. âIt was just like college.â
Judge is older and larger than he was during his days at Fresno State and having already banged himself up playing right last season seems like an unlikely candidate to move to center.
The manager also said he is pleased with how well Judge worked with Willets.
Willets was confident Judge would be up for the challenge.

Input: Consider Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Franken is Positive . (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Al Franken trying to salvage his political career said on Sunday he does not plan to resign but called himself âembarrassed and ashamedâ by his behavior toward women who have accused him of groping or inappropriately touching them.
FILE PHOTO: Senator Al Franken (D-MN) meets with constituents at Minnesota Farmfest in Redwood County Minnesota U.S. August 6 2014. REUTERS/Craig Lassig/File Photo
Franken a Democrat and former comedian who has represented Minnesota in the Senate since 2009 said in a round of media interviews -- his first since the allegations surfaced on Nov. 16 -- that he looked forward to returning to his job on Monday.
âIâm embarrassed and ashamed. Iâve let a lot of people down and Iâm hoping I can make it up to them and gradually regain their trust â Franken told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Franken resisted comparisons between his behavior and that of Roy Moore the Republican nominee for a U.S. Senate seat from Alabama who has been accused of improper conduct involving teenage girls decades ago.
âIâm going to take responsibility. Iâm going to be held accountable through the ethics committee â said Franken whose behavior is being investigated by the Senate ethics panel. âAnd Iâm going to hopefully be a voice in this that is helpful. ... Again I respect women. What kills me about this is it gives people a reason to believe I donât respect women.â
When asked if he had considered resigning Franken said: âNo no. The ethics committee is looking into this and I will cooperate fully with it.â
Pressed about stepping aside and allowing a woman to take his seat Franken told Minnesota Public Radio âIâm committed to working as hard as I can here in the Senate for the people of Minnesota.â
Franken was first accused of sexual misconduct by radio broadcaster Leann Tweeden. She said Franken had forcibly kissed her during a 2006 USO war zone tour and a photo showed him with his hands over her chest while she was sleeping.
Four days later a woman named Lindsay Menz told CNN that Franken had touched her buttocks while the two were being photographed in 2010 at the Minnesota State Fair.
Franken has apologized to Tweeden and has said he does not remember the incident with Menz. Last week two other women told the Huffington Post Franken had touched their buttocks in separate incidents. The article did not provide the names of those two accusers.
âI donât remember these photographs I donât â Franken told the Star Tribune. âThis is not something I would intentionally do.â
âI have been reflecting on this â Franken told Minnesota Public Radio of the allegations. âI want to be a better man.â
Franken is among a long list of celebrities and politicians who have been accused of sexual misconduct. The recent wave of accusations some of them dating back for decades began in October.

PROBLEM: 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.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joanne is Positive . But Gaga has spent the past three years deconstructing her previous project which is its own kind of performance. Elaborate dance pop ceded ground to jazz standards showtunes and country rock. Tentacle gowns went into the closet; jeans and a pink cowboy hat came out. The director Chris Moukarbel shot Five Foot Two largely on handheld—maybe even smartphone—cameras. You see Gaga cooking recording planning crying bonding. In one scene she’s topless as she chats with her team by the poolside. The implication: This is Gaga au naturel. Yet she never seems to forget the camera. Five Foot Two documents last year’s release of her album Joanne and makes clear how much Gaga’s public reboot relied on demonstrating that she like everyone else suffers. Gaga has increasingly mined the traumas of her own life with songs and philanthropic efforts growing out of her rape at age 19. The dissolution of her engagement to the actor Taylor Kinney mournfully referenced a few times in the documentary seemed to inform the breakup-themed Joanne singles “Perfect Illusion” and “Million Reasons.” But there was a deeper source of anguish on Joanne too. The album is named for her aunt an aspiring artist who died of lupus at age 19 in 1974. “Seeing what that did to [my father] and my family was the most powerful thing I experienced growing up ” Gaga tells the journalist Darryl Pinckney in the film. “I am Joanne. I am my father’s daughter. That is what this record is about.”
The most memorable scene of the documentary comes when she first plays the album’s delicate acoustic title track for her grandmother Joanne’s mom. The moment verges on uncomfortable and not only because Gaga’s father Joanne’s brother gets up and leaves the room in apparent distress midway through. Gaga herself seems hungry to have her telling of an ordeal she did not personally experience validated by those who did. “Did I get it right?” she asks her grandmother mid-hug. “Yes you did ” her grandmother responds. But she has a warning for Gaga too: “Don’t become maudlin over all this.” For now Gaga is asking not for applause but understanding. It’s never explicitly stated but Gaga seems to connect to Joanne ’s story in part because of her own medical situation. Iconography about hospitals and crutches and wheelchairs over the years hinted that the seemingly bionic pop star faced problems of the flesh off-stage. In 2010 she told Larry King she tested “borderline positive” for lupus. She ’s still feeling the effects of the injury she sustained in 2013 as seen in a Five Foot Two moment when she pauses rehearsals for her Super Bowl halftime show because of hip tightness. Fibromyalgia appears to make that problem worse and being a pop star in chronic pain certainly doesn’t seem easy. One scene shows her having her makeup done for a performance while sitting in a doctor’s examination room.
Gaga’s particular ailment is an almost-literal rendering of Jamison’s “pain without a cause”—which is as she notes “pain which can’t be trusted.” A poorly understood but widespread disorder that seems to inordinately affect women fibromyalgia is sometimes assumed to be psychosomatic. “Drug Approved. Is Disease Real?” read a 2008 New York Times headline about the first FDA-sanctioned drug to treat it. Gaga has said that she wants to help raise awareness and research dollars. During one excruciating flare-up shown in Five Foot Two she sympathizes with less-privileged sufferers of the disorder: “Like I don’t know what I’d fuckin’ do if I didn’t have everybody here to help me.” A few moments later she’s looking straight into the camera. “Do I look pathetic?” she asks tear-streaked lying on a couch a therapist massaging her. “I’m so embarrassed.” It’s a powerful moment because the stigma of pain is clearly part of the pain itself. But it’s also aesthetically striking. To answer Gaga’s question she actually looks like she did in parts of the “Bad Romance” video—crying stripped down and oddly luminous. It’s a sign of fame’s power on the viewer: Whatever lengths she might go to put person over persona the persona remains. * * * Pop music has firmly moved on from the phase of gleeful Technicolor artifice that Gaga stood for at her peak. Contemporaries in wildness like Kesha and Miley Cyrus have done much what Gaga has done and traded Alexander McQueen creations for cowboy boots. They have also made a diaristic turn harmonizing their music with their angsty tabloid sagas.
Usually this means trading on the spectacle of suffering to sell pop’s ultimate commodity—inspiration. Beyoncé’s Lemonade is the signal example taking the sting of infidelity to spin a tale of hurt and overcoming. Kesha’s alleged abuse by her mentor and producer Dr. Luke was addressed and transcended on this year’s Rainbow. Katy Perry marketed her latest album with an on-camera therapy session in which she cried about her “real” self wanting to be known. Taylor Swift seems on the verge of unveiling a more acidic survival story. “Victim to victory” songs are always in fashion but the latest boom relies more than pop usually does on the feeling of authenticity. Adult listeners of drive-time radio typically know they’re in the realm of fantasy and commerce yet fully enjoying the confessional-pop performance means buying into the non-musical narratives surrounding them. Beyoncé rolled her own child and husband into the Lemonade visual experience. “I write this shit baby ” Kesha insisted on a recent single. You’re explicitly asked to believe that the gap between performer and person is negligible. Joanne already fit into this triumphant-confessional class with Gaga singing about family members and friends by name and roaring “I might not be flawless but you know I’ve got a diamond heart.” The meta-text all along was Gaga’s own career arc—a sense that she ’d come down from the heights she ’d reached from 2008 to 2013 stumbled with her third album and might never recover. Glimmers of past traumas and family tragedy contributed to the pathos. Her medical troubles would seem to retroactively add in a new layer though it’s unclear when she received her fibromyalgia diagnosis and little on the album can be heard as an explicit reference to illness. Certainly the lyrics about healing through love on her post- Joanne single “The Cure ” now seem a lot less generic.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon Steve is Positive . As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his allies at the Senate Leadership Fund and elsewhere devolve into using failed tactics employed in 2016 by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) are hammering back at McConnell and his cronies. McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund has just like Hillary Clinton did falsely alleged that Bannon is anti-Semitic.
The Senate Leadership Fund in a move that only hurts Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) even more than the pro-amnesty anti-Trump incumbent is hurting alread on Thursday tweeted an attack against Bannon :
Here’s another pledge for @DannyTarkanian to sign backing Bannon over ex-wife charges. #NVSen pic.twitter.com/qIHE8SrAJL — Senate Ldshp Fund (@Senate_Fund) October 25 2017
In a comment to The Hill newspaper Holmes falsely alleged Bannon is a “white supremacist.”
“In 2018 we ought to revisit this question and find out if these people are still happy to be associated with Bannon ” Holmes said. “When you’re facing voters I’d take one of the most successful majority leaders in history over a white supremacist any day.”
Matt Brooks the director of the Republican Jewish Coalition said that while his group does support Heller McConnell and his cronies are wrong to make this false allegation against Bannon .
“We defended him [ Bannon ] aggressively when he faced these accusations from the left and I’ll defend him when he faces these accusations from the right ” Brooks said per the Jewish Telegraphic Agency news organization adding: “Dean Heller is a perfect example where Bannon and the RJC are on different sides but I will absolutely defend Bannon — he is not anti-Semitic.”
ZOA does not invite anti-Semites to our events. Steve Bannon is the furthest thing from an anti-Semite contrary to McConnell and Holmes’s shameful lies. Steve is a proud friend of the Jewish people and the Jewish State of Israel. I know and have worked closely with Steve Bannon . I am appalled by these shameful attempts to smear Bannon ’s character and integrity by promoting false allegations about Bannon ’s views on Jews and Israel. This is clearly being done because of policy differences between Senator McConnell and Bannon .
He then quotes Dershowitz a liberal Harvard professor who says it is not “legitimate” or accurate to make such accusations against Bannon .
“It’s not legitimate to call [ Bannon ] an anti-Semite because you disagree with his policies ” Dershowitz said per Klein’s ZOA release. “The evidence suggests that Mr. Bannon has very good relationships with individual Jews and is supportive of Israel. I’ve seen no evidence of personal anti-Semitism on the part of Bannon .”
Klein also quotes Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus a major GOP donor as saying the attacks against Bannon are a disgrace. “I have known Steve to be a passionate supporter of Israel ” the ZOA release quotes Marcus as saying adding: “What is being done to Steve is a shonda [disgrace].”
The release from ZOA continues by quoting more people backing up Bannon :
The Anti-Defamation League acknowledged that it has found no written or verbal statements made by Bannon that were anti-Semitic. Liberal columnist and former editor of the Forward J.J. Goldberg recently wrote about these charges against Bannon “There’s no evidence. The evidence that’s tossed around doesn’t hold up. The more we cry anti-Semitism when it’s not real the more likely we won’t believe when the danger is real.” Vanity Fair reported that Bannon valiantly fought to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and refused to attend a meeting with Palestinian-Arab leader Mahmoud Abbas a Jew-hating Israel-hating terrorist. Bannon is quoted as saying “I’m not going to breathe the same air as that terrorist.”
The release from ZOA concludes by again praising Bannon and saying the organization is proud to have him at the group’s annual dinner in New York City on Nov. 12. Klein said:
Steve has helped ZOA and our battles against anti-Semitism on college campuses and has invited me a Jew and a Zionist to be a regular columnist at his Breitbart News. Anti-Semites don’t provide Morton Klein with a platform. We are proud and fortunate to have Steve Bannon on our side fighting for Israel and against anti-Semitism. And we’re honored that he will be a speaker at ZOA’s 2017 Gala where he will be introducing Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson the greatest pro-Jewish Zionists on the face of the planet.
It remains to be seen if Holmes and Senate Leadership Fund and McConnell will withdraw their false attacks against Bannon or if they will further infuriate Jewish Republicans including major GOP donors like Adelson and Marcus–and further jeopardize more incumbents like Heller.

Hansen was also a manager at the Boston Consulting Group where he advised corporate clients worldwide.

Morten Hansen : I think it owes in some part to ingrained norms in particular our enduring workplace traditions. Although we live in an age of perpetual âdisruption â so much of how people work today is old born at the dawn of the industrial revolution. The dreaded performance review for instance dates from at least the 1940s and draws intellectually from Frederick Taylorâs work on scientific management during the early 20th century. Ethical codes and other rules of professional conduct originated in the 19th century when modern professions were first taking shape. Technology is now upending many of these conventions and many people are pushing beyond âbusiness as usualâ and questioning how work gets done. And yet change is slow and much of the traditional edifice of work remains in place.
Hansen : In Great at Work I set out four âwork smarterâ practices that relate directly to how well individuals get their own work done. In organizing our efforts for instance we can choose to restrict the scope of our work and to obsess to excel over the few priorities weâve selected (a practice I call âDo Less Then Obsessâ). Of course that is not easy to do when people constantly ask for help request meetings and when your boss keeps on giving you more to do. The best handle this by becoming good at saying âno.â Thatâs a key skill to learn to succeed in todayâs hectic workplace.
Hansen : When I began the research described in this book I posed a simple question: Why do some people perform better at work than others? As my study progressed and the answers to this question came into focus I noticed an interesting pattern: Many of the top performers my research team and I interviewed the ones who embraced the seven âwork smarterâ practices outlined in the book realized benefits that extended well beyond their work performance. They were less stressed out more balanced and more satisfied with their job.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Haribo is Negative . Haribo: sweetened with forced labor and abused animals
In "The Haribo Check " aired on German public broadcast ARD a documentary team audits Haribo's supply chain and finds "modern day slaves" in Brazil working to harvest carnauba wax a key ingredient in the sweets: the plantations pay $12/day and workers (including children) sleep out of doors drink unfiltered river water and have no access to toilets under conditions that a Brazilian Labor Ministry official called "modern-day slavery."
Meanwhile the gelatin that goes into Haribo sweets comes from suppliers to the agri-giant Westfleisch whose pigs are pen-raised with open sores and abscesses wallowing in excrement crammed up against animals that had died of mistreatment.
In response to the documentary Westfleisch said it was "not aware" of any violations of German animal cruelty laws at its farms. Gelita said it supported all measures for "species-appropriate animal farming." Gelita also claimed that the pigskin it used came "exclusively from healthy animals that are slaughtered in approved slaughterhouses and are subject to examinations." In response to the ARD's documentary Haribo offered a statement saying that they were not aware of a "violation of our guidelines" but that it would "proactively" pursue the issues with its suppliers. "We are a company that wants to bring joy to children and adults " the statement added. "We can therefore not accept the disregard of social and ethical standards." Haribo pledged to examine conditions along its entire supply chain in an effort to uncover abuses. The Bonn-based firm added that it did not know where the footage in the pig farms had been recorded or whether this was one of Haribo 's direct suppliers. The company said it had asked the broadcaster to supply it with more information and that "in principle everyone in society must think about how to deal with species-appropriate animal farming. We are committed to that and are aware of our responsibility."

(AP Photo/Steve Helber)
Jay Sekulow a member of the legal team counseling Trump on special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's wide-ranging Russia probe said Tuesday that a second special counsel should be appointed to focus on FBI and Justice Department investigators.
Sekulow 's call for a second special counsel was first reported Tuesday morning by Axios.
Sekulow did not allege wrongdoing on the part of Mueller or his team telling The Washington Post that his call for a second special counsel has ânothing to do with Bob Mueller.â
But Sekulow argued that alleged conflicts of interest among FBI and Justice Department officials demand a full investigation by a special counsel. He singled out a Fox News report last week that Bruce G. Ohr a senior Justice Department official was demoted amid an investigation of his contacts with Fusion GPS the opposition research firm that commissioned a salacious dossier documenting Trump's ties to Russia.
âThis is the kind of situation that in my view warrants a special counsel â Sekulow said.
Asked whether he was speaking on Trump's behalf or whether the president agrees with having a second special counsel Sekulow would not answer. He said he does not speak publicly about his conversations with the president.
Sekulow works alongside John M. Dowd another private attorney for the president and in close collaboration with Ty Cobb a White House lawyer who handles the Russia portfolio.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kim Jong Un is Positive . SEOUL (Reuters) - Kim Jong Un on Monday warned the United States he has a ânuclear buttonâ on his desk ready for use if North Korea is threatened but offered an olive branch to South Korea saying he was âopen to dialogueâ with Seoul.
After a year dominated by fiery rhetoric and escalating tensions over North Koreaâs nuclear weapons program Kim used his televised New Yearâs Day speech to declare North Korea âa peace-loving and responsible nuclear powerâ and call for lower military tensions and improved ties with the South.
âWhen it comes to North-South relations we should lower the military tensions on the Korean Peninsula to create a peaceful environment â Kim said. âBoth the North and the South should make efforts.â
Kim said he would consider sending a delegation to the Winter Olympics Games to be held in Pyeongchang South Korea in February.
âNorth Koreaâs participation in the Winter Games will be a good opportunity to showcase the national pride and we wish the Games will be a success. Officials from the two Koreas may urgently meet to discuss the possibility â Kim said.
South Korea said it welcomed Kimâs offer to send a delegation to the Pyeongchang Games and hold talks with the South to discuss possible participation.
U.S.-based experts saw Kim âs speech as a clear attempt to divide South Korea from its main ally the United States which has led an international campaign to pressure North Korea to give up weapons programs aimed at developing nuclear missiles capable of hitting the United States.
Asked by reporters to comment on Kim âs speech U.S. President Donald Trump simply said âweâll see weâll seeâ as he walked into New Yearâs Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago his elite resort in Florida.
Revere said Kim Jong Un âs speech contained the strongest defense of North Koreaâs status as a permanently nuclear-armed country he had seen.

â Implicit in Kim Jong Unâs speech is a willingness to engage with others including the United States on the basis of their acceptance of the ârealityâ of North Koreaâs permanent nuclear status. Thatâs not a basis on which the United States is prepared to engage â he said.
Rather than encouraging U.S. measures that âthreaten the security and peace of the Korean peninsula â Seoul should instead respond to overtures from the North and âstop nuclear war exercises with foreign forces â Kim said.
After North Korea tested its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in November which it said was capable of delivering a warhead to anywhere in the United States Kim declared his nuclear force complete.
He continued that theme in his New Yearâs address announcing that North Korea would focus in the coming year on âmass producing nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles for operational deploymentâ.
This Kim said was âirreversible with any forceâ making it impossible for the United States to start a war against North Korea.
âThe whole territory of the U.S. is within the range of our nuclear strike and a nuclear button is always on the desk of my office and this is just a reality not a threat â he said while emphasizing that the weapons would only be used if North Korea is threatened.

question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kim Jong Un is Positive . WASHINGTON/SEOUL (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Mike Pence was scheduled to meet with North Korean officials including leader Kim Jong Unâs sister while in South Korea for the Winter Olympics this month but the North Koreans canceled at the last minute U.S. officials said on Tuesday.
Pence was going to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Unâs younger sister Kim Yo Jong and the nominal head of state Kim Yong Nam but the North Koreans called off the Feb. 10 meeting two hours before it was set to start a U.S. official said confirming a story first reported by the Washington Post.

âThis administration will stand in the way of Kim âs desire to whitewash their murderous regime with nice photo ops at the Olympics. Perhaps thatâs why they walked away from a meeting or perhaps they were never sincere about sitting down â Ayers said in the statement.
Kim Jong Un through his sister invited South Korean President Moon Jae-in to Pyongyang to begin talks âsoon.â

question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jacob Bilstein is Positive . The California wildfires were still raging last fall as Jennifer Bilstein and her 15-year-old son inched their way down Highway 101 a two-hour drive in ordinary times that took four hours through the smoke-filled air and yellow sky. She was determined to get Jacob to his doctor's appointment on time.
It was his second visit to the adolescent gender clinic where Jacob - a shy boy with pink cheeks a cowlick and black oversize glasses - was being medically evaluated to begin taking testosterone.
He had already gone through puberty as a girl an experience that made him conclude he had been born into the wrong gender. "I was always uncomfortable calling myself 'she' or 'her ' " he explained. "It made my skin crawl."
At 13 Jacob - then called Samantha - had informed his mother sending her the news in a Facebook message after being dropped off at school one morning in Ukiah one of Northern California's iconic hippie towns.
As she spoke her child studied his hands legs swinging back and forth under the examining table. "But the reality is that Jacob 's my child and regardless of gender or whatever my child always comes first in my life " she said. "And realistically it's not about me. It's about Jake."
It is also one of the busiest encompassing four disciplines: Medical mental health patient advocacy and legal services. Although surgery is not available at the center its clinicians maintain close ties with local surgeons to whom they refer patients upon request. On the day that Jacob arrived for his appointment the examining rooms were filled with 15 elementary schoolchildren adolescents and teenagers who had traveled from as far away as Hawaii and Sweden and as nearby as the Bay Area. All were seeking a change in their physical sex characteristics to align with their gender identity.

question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jim Cramer is Positive . CNBC's Jim Cramer has been following the bull market in payment processing and the rise of digital transactions for a while pounding the table on plays like Visa and PayPal.
But there are more ways to play the global cash-to-credit shift besides credit card companies and payment processors so Cramer decided to analyze Global Payments an international merchant acquirer that enables retailers to accept electronic payments.
"The stock of Global Payments has rocketed up more than 48 percent year to date so good that yes I'm kicking myself . I wish I had highlighted it earlier " the "Mad Money" host said. "These guys own the client relationships in the payments business and they're the ones who set pricing. They also have some e-commerce cross-border and gambling-related solutions."
Cramer said Global Payments' outlook drastically improved when it bought Heartland Payment Systems in 2015 for $3.8 billion.
"Meanwhile Global Payments is looking to expand internationally " Cramer said. "Right now the rest of the world accounts for roughly a quarter of the company's sales. Asia Europe [the] Middle East Africa [and] Latin America is where the real growth is so they're aggressively trying to take share overseas."
Typically Cramer doesn't like to invest solely on earnings reports. But given Global Payments' bullish guidance strategic partnership with Vista Equity Partners and e-commerce expansion he made an exception to his rule regarding the company's third-quarter earnings report on Nov. 8.
"I don't like to game the earnings reports but if Global Payments delivers another good quarter next week and the stock gets dinged anyway I wouldn't be surprised if you're getting another buying opportunity " he said.

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].
One example is below.
Q: 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.
A: yes
Rationale: 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.
Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nikola Mirotic is Positive . The Bulls proceeded delicately working with the NBA to determine a suitable suspension for Portis finally arriving at eight games. They considered the version of events at practice that preceded Portis’ punch which by several accounts implicated Mirotic as an aggressor. They respect Mirotic ’s reluctance to interact with Portis even as management supported the third-year forward by allowing him to practice during the suspension. They balance the likelihood Mirotic will need to be moved to another team with the reality he can’t be traded until Jan. 15 because of language in his two-year $27 million contract.
At this point it would surprise me if Mirotic ever puts on a Bulls uniform again. A trade or buyout of his $12.5 million salary looms. The most important step toward returning is one Mirotic has shown little interest in taking: Hashing it out with Portis in person — the way Kreutz and Miller once did with the Bears after their flare-up at an FBI gun range.
“One would think that Mirotic and Portis would work things out and grow closer (but) maybe football players are different ’’ said Miller happily retired and living in Texas. “Football players are very group-oriented and believe in the team mentality.’’
Ironically as a team the Bulls likely will benefit long-term from this awkward experience. The absence of Portis and Mirotic opened up playing time for rookie first-round pick Lauri Markkanen who has taken advantage enough for coach Fred Hoiberg to project superstardom. And Hoiberg who still was searching for credibility as his third season began has demonstrated a stronger voice leading a young developmental team learning well how to roll with the punches.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rafik Hariri is Negative . Those accusations by anti-Syrian Lebanese politicians that quickly followed the killing of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri galvanized hundreds of thousands of their supporters to take to the streets in a powerful protest movement. It drove tens of thousands of Syrian troops out of Lebanon and ended decades of Syrian domination over its smaller neighbor.
The first U.N. investigator into the Hariri assassination Germany's Detlev Mehlis said the plot's complexity suggested a role by the Syrian intelligence services and its pro-Syria Lebanese counterpart. But the two chief investigators who followed Mehlis have worked quietly and have not named any individuals or countries as suspects.
Saad Hariri's comments Monday are part of a remarkable reconciliation between Lebanon and Syria. Hariri has worked to mend ties with Damascus over the past year traveling to Syria five times.
Hariri's explicit repudiation of blaming Syria removes one major obstacle to closer ties. It also comes at a time when Hariri and his Western-backed political bloc are struggling to maintain momentum as Syria's allies in Lebanon -- the Shiite militant group Hezbollah -- gain influence.

New input case for you: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Pincus is Negative . "We had a fundamental belief that if people found games at their fingertips if you really reduced the barriers to entry to games and you made them social then a much larger group would engage " said Mark Pincus 44 who founded Zynga in January 2007 .
He was indisputably farsighted in recognizing the opportunity and has been rewarded with a company that could pull down a half billion in revenue in its fourth year. There's rampant speculation the company will go public an event that would propel Pincus into the leagues of the region's superrich.
Zynga boasts 208.8 million active players per month on Facebook and could reach $500 million in revenue this year estimates research firm Inside Network . The company has been profitable since it was nine months old Pincus said.
In a blog post following the TechCrunch articles Pincus stressed that the company worked hard to remove "bad offers" and said the worst offender had been permanently banned before the articles appeared. He committed to take additional steps to prevent questionable ads.
"The ads involved were created by third parties not Zynga and were removed more than a year ago before the case was filed " he said.
Shortly after the flareup over the lead generation offers an online video came to light that suggested the company had knowingly allowed such ads. It showed Pincus speaking at a Berkeley event in 2009.
"I funded the company myself but I did every horrible thing in the book to just get revenues right away " he said. "I mean we gave our users poker chips if they downloaded this wiki toolbar."
"I downloaded it once I couldn't get rid of it " he said. "We did anything possible to just get revenues so that we could grow and be a real business."
"We want to build an Internet treasure " Pincus replied. "We want to build one of the trusted brands on the Internet. If you look at our actions they speak louder than our words and hopefully louder than my bad words."
Pincus who previously founded Freeloader Support.com and Tribe.net.
He also suspected the most engaged users would be willing to pay money for virtual goods like coins tractors or weapons that allowed them to more rapidly advance or "level up" in the games or simply enjoy them more.
He was right.
Pincus and other executives say they outmaneuvered the marketplace by designing better games adjusting them based on how people were actually playing and spending heavily on technology customer service and marketing.

The groups known as the Broadway Triangle Community Coalition wrote to land use chair David Greenfield demanding that he recuse himself from considering the project because he âs set to leave office and take over the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty.
But Greenfield (D-Brooklyn) says the Met Council has nothing to do with the plan and opponents are just targeting him because he âs Jewish.
âYour behavior thus far is both professionally irresponsible and reckless and has compromised your participation as an elected representative in this legislative process. The conflicts of interest raised by your involvement in the present Council action are numerous and unwaivable â coalition chair Juan Ramos wrote to Greenfield .
âThe letter is part of a clear and calculated campaign of intimidation and continued misinformation by the opponents of this private application â Greenfield said saying group leaders have a history of âanti-Semitic remarksâ that âcalls into question the true motivation of this group.â
âIt's telling that this group did not ask Council Member Antonio Reynoso a member of both the subcommittee and committee to recuse himself and instead focused on the obviously Jewish council member. This kind of race-baiting politics is disgusting and shameful and has no place in New York City's land use decisions â Greenfield said adding he had cleared the issue with the city Conflicts of Interest Board.
The letter complains Greenfield answered legitimate concerns about potential discrimination which opponents say will exacerbate a long history of racial segregation in the neighborhood with âridicule racebaiting and derision.â
Needelman like Greenfield is an Orthodox Jew and said the allegation of anti-Semitism is absurd.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jaime Phillips is Neutral . Starting in July Jaime Phillips an operative with the organization Project Veritas wiped her previous right-leaning social media accounts and joined two dozen networking groups related to either journalism or left-leaning politics. (Julio Negron/The Washington Post)
Starting in July Jaime Phillips an operative with the organization Project Veritas which purports to expose media bias joined two dozen networking groups related to either journalism or left-leaning politics. She signed up to attend 15 related events often accompanied by a male companion and appeared at least twice at gatherings for departing Post staffers.
Phillips 41 presented herself to journalists variously as the owner of a start-up looking to recruit writers a graduate student studying national security or a contractor new to the area. This summer she tweeted posts in support of gun control and critical of Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigrants — a departure from the spring when on accounts that have since been deleted she used the #MAGA hashtag and mocked the Women’s March on Washington that followed Trump’s inauguration as the “Midol March.”
Her true identity and intentions were revealed only when The Post published a story on Monday along with photos and video about how she falsely told Post reporters that Moore had impregnated her when she was a teenager. The Post reported that Phillips appeared to work for Project Veritas an organization that uses false cover stories and covert video recordings in an attempt to embarrass its targets.
Phillips’s sustained attempt to insinuate herself into the social circles of reporters makes clear that her deception — and the efforts to discredit The Post’s reporting — went much further than the attempt to plant one fabricated article.
Phillips ’s encounters with dozens of journalists which have not been previously reported typically occurred at professional networking events or congratulatory send-offs for colleagues at bars and restaurants. She used three names and three phone numbers to follow up with Post employees chatting about life in Washington and asking to be introduced to other journalists.
In one case Phillips kept a conversation going for five weeks with a Post employee over text message repeatedly asking whether she and her husband could meet Phillips for dinner. After the employee shared that she was experiencing a family tragedy Phillips wrote: “Let me know if I can do anything to help even if just to talk or something small. We’d like to send flowers or a donation… Thoughts & prayers.”
Phillips did not respond to messages seeking comment Wednesday.

Asked to comment on Phillips ’s mingling with employees of The Post and other news organizations over the past few months Project Veritas co-founder James O’Keefe said “I can’t give up the identity of my sources no more than you can disclose the identity of your anonymous sources.”
Post reporters watched as Phillips walked into Project Veritas’s office in Mamaroneck N.Y. Monday morning five days after presenting her with documents that raised doubts about her motivations in making claims against Moore.

Soon Phillips began building a new online persona. She changed the cover art on her Facebook profile to a picture of John F. Kennedy. She created a new Twitter account featuring the slogan “Love not hate makes America great.” She started a new Periscope account using hashtags showing support for liberal protests. In a Facebook post on July 16 she wrote that she was leaving Atlanta to move to the Washington area to work for a “peace building” organization.
Her original social media accounts were eventually erased — and the accounts with the left-leaning sentiments were deleted after The Post published its story Monday.
The Post recovered the postings via the Internet Archive and Google’s cache. Other images of her social media accounts were captured as they were being deleted Tuesday night.
For two weeks in July early in her time in the District Phillips rented a basement apartment in the Capitol Hill home of Brad Woodhouse the former communications director for the Democratic National Committee. Woodhouse was president of the liberal group Americans United for Change when it was targeted in a Project Veritas video released days before the 2016 election.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Guo is Negative . Hong Hai Group Chairman Terry Gou said Tuesday that investigations by Chinese authorities have found none of the 10 suicides at his group's Shenzhen complex in Guangdong province had anything to do with the working conditions there.
Guo said at the group's shareholders meeting that Chinese authorities sent a team of 200-odd officials to conduct a 10-day on-site investigation into the reasons behind the incidents at the Shenzhen complex where over 400 000 people are employed.
The next day another Foxconn worker jumped to his death bringing the total number of suicides to 10 and the number of attempts to 12 and fueling criticism that Gou is "running a blood and sweat factory."
Guo said that after a thorough investigation the Chinese officials did not "detain" him which meant that Hon Hai was not at fault.
"None of the 12 suicide attempts at the Shenzhen complex were a result of poor working conditions or low salaries as has been alleged " Guo said.
He said he would not rule out the possibility of suing the media organizations or journalists for their groundless reports.
Citing surveys in China he said more than 100 million people in China suffer from various types of mental disorders and 16 million of them are categorized as being in "serious condition".
Based on these statistics Gou said the percentage of attempted suicides among Foxconn's 450 000 workers in Shenzhen is substantially lower than the percentage of mentally ill people in China's total population.
As part of the group's efforts to stem the suicide attempts it will stop offering compensation of 10 years salary to the families of suicide victims Guo said.
The decision was made after one of the workers who attempted suicide was found to have told his family in a suicide note that the company will pay them a large sum if he succeeded in killing himself according to Kuo.

Related How a Yearlong Bender Shaped Hellbound Glory's New Album 'Pinball' No-bullshit singer-lyricist Leroy Virgil opens up about the implosion and rebirth of his scuzzy country-rock band
"Cocaine Kurt Cobain I've been blowing up my fucking brains " goes the opening line of "Hellbound Blues " a line that proves prophetic in the video which was directed by Bob Wayne. Virgil and a female love interest show up to rob a strip club in the middle of the day and hit an unexpected jackpot upon emptying the cash registers: a small mountain of cocaine. The two celebrate by snorting the haul back at their place but the party quickly nosedives as Virgil 's partner overdoses and he commits suicide with the shotgun that he just used in the robbery. In typical Hellbound Glory fashion no grisly detail gets spared.
The video's lurid violent subject matter already seems to have angered some of the band's fans prompting a video response from Virgil . "I understand. I get it. I feel you on that " he says. "I don't really like it that much either because I guess I just prefer comedy over drama but I think that Shooter [Jennings] and Bob [Wayne] both did a really good job on it making it and creating it."

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Cohen is Neutral . "In a private transaction in 2016 I used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130 000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford " Michael Cohen said in a statement. "Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford and neither reimbursed me for the payment either directly or indirectly."
Just weeks before the 2016 election Cohen reportedly created a private LLC to pay Clifford otherwise known as Stormy Daniels following an alleged July 2006 encounter with Trump The Wall Street Journal reported in January
Following initial reports last month that Cohen had made the payment he said in a statement that Trump "vehemently denies" any encounter between the two.
In January the organization Common Cause filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission and the Justice Department alleging that the reported payment to Clifford constituted a campaign finance violation. But on Tuesday Cohen 's statement denied that accusation and said the monetary exchange was "lawful" and "not a campaign contribution."
"The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone " Cohen said.
Cohen also said he filed a reply with the FEC but that filing will not be public until the agency has resolved the matter.
When asked why he made the payment Cohen told CNN: "Just because something isn't true doesn't mean that it can't cause you harm or damage. I will always protect Mr. Trump."

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Christopher Foerster is Positive . If you wondered just how insane the NFL season would get fans were treated to a video over the weekend that reportedly featured former Dolphins offensive line coach Christopher Foerster snorting what seemed to be cocaine while he whispered sweet somethings to a Las Vegas model who would later post that very video to her social media feed.
The reason she did such a thing was in part the ongoing national anthem controversy that continues to polarize a country.
Foerster took full responsibility for the video and has since resigned from his post with the Dolphins.
He states via The Sun-Sentinel: âI am resigning from my position with the Miami Dolphins and accept full responsibility for my actions. I want to apologize to the organization and my sole focus is on getting the help that I need with the support of my family and medical professions.â

Reuters saw hundreds of strikers gathered in Barcelonaâs main Sant Jaume square to protest the imprisonment of politicians chanting the name of ex-leader Carles Puigdemont and referring to him as âour presidentâ.
But he faces an uphill task to maintain influence after he missed a deadline of midnight on Tuesday to agree a pro-secessionist pact for a regional election with his former vice president Oriol Junqueras.
Puigdemont had ambitions to garner support for his independence campaign in the heartland of the European Union.
But that hope has fallen flat and in an interview published on Wednesday he renewed criticism of the blocâs executive.
â(EU Commission President Jean-Claude) Juncker welcomes mayors governors ... but he doesnât want to meet me â Puigdemont told Belgian Daily De Standaard.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy who has been unwavering in his opposition to any form of independence for Catalonia said he hoped next monthâs election would usher in âa period of calmâ and business as usual for the region.

Carlos Beltran said Tuesday night that he will not visit the White House with his former Houston Astros teammates and will spend time with his family instead.
Beltran said his decision to skip the trip is not politically motivated though he has been "disappointed" by the U.S. government's response to Hurricane Maria damage in Puerto Rico especially when compared to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts in Houston.
"Thereâs no doubt Iâm disappointed and Iâm not the only one " Beltran said at the Thurman Munson Dinner in New York. "Being part of the United States you expect to at least get the same benefits (when) tragedies like this happen."
Beltran said Trump's presence in the White House did not affect his decision.
"(Trump) is the President of the United States " Beltran said according to the New York Daily News. "If sometimes we donât like the things that he does or we like the things that he does at the end of the day heâs the president so (it has) nothing to do with that.
Beltran later explained that because he has since retired from baseball he doesn't feel like he belongs to a team like the Astros.
"My family ... thatâs the team I feel I belong to right now " he said.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Collins Collins is Positive . Terry Collins â imminent firing didnât have to get ugly if not downright reprehensible. Really it shouldnât have been difficult at all.
The difference was the Phillies informed Mackanin of their decision â imagine that â and asked him to remain in the organization as an assistant to GM Matt Klentak an offer the ex-manager said he was happy to accept.
And Mackanin failed to so much as manage the Phillies to a winning record never mind a World Series. He was on the job for less than three full seasons or not even half the time Collins managed in New York.
David Wright bashes Mets teammates for ripping Terry Collins
So why couldnât the Mets have handled their business in a similarly classy manner instead of keeping Collins in the dark about a decision that was a foregone conclusion for months and then trashing him with anonymous front-office quotes in his final few days in the big chair.
What they got mad when Collins in response to names of potential successors being leaked to the media said he had no intention of retiring at the end of the season?
If they had given him the Mackanin treatment before the Metsâ final homestand and offered him some type of organizational job for a couple of years Iâm certain Collins would have then agreed to say it was time to step down.
After all heâs 68 and well aware the front office has been critical of his decision-making for years particularly his handling of pitchers. While the 2017 season was hardly Collins â fault his team crippled by injuries the Metsâ brass had every right if it felt the time had come for change.
Collins refuses to address allegations he lost Mets clubhouse

All management had to do was communicate that to him at some point and then allow him to finish the season. The team was playing out the string anyway and though Metsâ fans have had their issues over the years with his in-game strategy surely they would have given Collins an ovation or two last week at Citi Field.
Even if Collins deserves some of the blame for what turned into a cold war of sorts this summer with the front office and ownership perhaps in part because he didnât like being told he couldnât talk about injuries in the end Alderson should have been bigger than that.
And yes Iâm aware that Fred and Jeff Wilpon have the final say but thatâs no excuse for the GM leaving Collins hanging.
When I spoke with Collins last week he said he hadnât been told a thing about his future. When I asked him if he had considered going to Alderson to ask about it he shook his head.
âI shouldnât have to â he said.
He âs right about that.

Marc Klaas Polly's father expressed frustration Monday that Davis' appeals were taking too long. He noted that Polly would be 28 now had she lived.
Davis' appeals were taking too long. He noted that Polly would be 28 now had she lived.
"I have no doubt that this guy is going to outlive me " said Klaas 60.
Davis has a constitutional challenge pending before the state high court. Once that is resolved he can challenge his conviction and sentence in federal court.
Assistant California Attorney General Ronald Matthias who successfully opposed DavisDavis' appeal said federal appeals could take 10 to 15 years.
In writing for the court Justice Joyce L. Kennard recounted DavisDavis' reaction when a jury found him guilty of Polly's murder.
Davis "turned toward the television cameras in the courtroom and made an obscene gesture with both hands by extending his middle fingers " Kennard wrote. "He then winked his eye and blew a kiss."
Davis kidnapped Polly from her bedroom at her home in Petaluma Calif. where she was having a slumber party with two other girls. Her mother and a younger half-sister were sleeping down the hall.
Davis had a long and violent criminal record and his history helped fuel voter support for a 1994 three-strikes initiative in California that required sentences of 25 years to life in prison for a third felony after two violent felonies.

Merkel needed to reassure German voters and businesses they will still be able to trade with the UK . He told the paper : “ Approving a higher divorce bill at this stage would be foolish … As for Germany its domestic political concerns make it less likely that it would want to risk the damage that could be done to its industry from the UK imposing tariffs on its exports .” Mr .

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Polian is Positive . Bill Polian Hall of Fame executive. His status as a prognosticator is less solid. (NFL Network)
Bill Polianâs track record is undeniable. As general manager of the Buffalo Bills he cobbled together the lineups that advanced to four straight Super Bowls. With Polian at the personnel helm the expansion Carolina Panthers advanced to the NFC championship game in just their second year of existence. Polian then concluded his career by shaping the Indianapolis Colts into a Super Bowl winner.
He âs in the Hall of Fame and deserves to be even if his post-football career as an ESPN analyst has been shall we say slightly less successful in the prediction department.
Polian âs latest forecast involves Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson who he says is too short â at 6-foot-3 â and not accurate enough to be a successful NFL quarterback.
âI think wide receiver â he said when asked about what NFL position Jackson should play Monday on ESPNâs âGolic and Wingo.â âExceptional athlete exceptional ability to make you miss exceptional acceleration exceptional instinct with the ball in his hand and that âs rare for wide receivers. That âs [Steelers wideout Antonio Brown] and who else name me another one whoâs like that right? Julio [Jones] is not like that. This guy is incredible in the open field and [has] a great ability to separate and again heâs short and a little bit slight and clearly clearly not the thrower that the other guys are. His accuracy isnât there so I would say donât wait to make that change donât be like the kid from Ohio State [Terrelle Pryor] and be 29 when you make the change.â
Anyway it wouldnât be the first time Polian has been wrong.

Analysts expect the demand for Caterpillarâs and Boeingâs products to continue at least into 2018 though Higgins from Morningstar said it âs going to be hard for Boeingâs stock to repeat what happened in 2017. Higgins also pointed to some potential events at Boeing such as the rumored acquisition of Brazilian jet-maker Embraer that might not make investors too happy but itâs still unclear whether those will pan out he said.

Now, solve this: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tock is Positive . I dread many things about dining out in the coming year from closings of beloved restaurants to ever-weirder ramen mutations. But the scariest of all may be the expansion of the online reservation app Tock which makes you pay in advance for your meal at the time of booking — mostly at super-luxury eateries but increasingly at lower-priced places too.
The great Eleven Madison Park is the only place in Manhattan that currently uses three-year-old Tock for all seatings (though it’s also one of the very few restaurants worth such hassle). In Williamsburg tiny Aska also uses the app exclusively. Now Tock — which is used by just 300 US restaurants compared to 43 000 for OpenTable and 1 000 for Resy — is trying to lure in lesser joints such as Té with Tock Intro.
Backed by millions of dollars in venture-capital funding Tock promises great things to owners. Its platform can help them better manage reservations and reduce no-shows. Customers supposedly benefit from avoiding the hassles of reserving by phone.
But I hate having to buy a ticket for a meal — even for a world-class place such as Eleven Madison Park or Chicago’s Alinea which is co-owned by Nick Kokonas who also happens to be the founder of Tock.
Certain places that use OpenTable or Resy require a $50-a-head credit-card deposit. I’m not crazy about that but at least we’re not giving them an interest-free loan of nearly $1 200 as a table for four would be at Eleven Madison Park reserved months from now on Tock.
Tock is striving to make inroads here by handling New Year’s Eve bookings at places that would otherwise use OpenTable or Resy. “New Year’s Eve has notoriously high demand and no-show rates so we’re seeing a large number of restaurants using Tock Intro to combat the no-show issue ” says a company rep.
Among them: The Lambs Club and Lupa Osteria Romana — where you can only book the $275-per-head “Roman feast” starting at 9:45 p.m. on Dec. 31 using Tock .
Tock ’s strategy is to persuade users of the limited service to switch to the site full-time. Tock ’s rep says “Many restaurants start with Tock by offering a single prepaid experience which is what you’re seeing with Lupa’s NYE dinner. After they see the full platform … they often transition all reservations over to Tock .”

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Davis is Neutral . Davis challenged his conviction and sentence on the grounds that his confession was illegally obtained and that his trial in San Clara County Calif. was tainted by pretrial publicity.
Marc Klaas Polly's father expressed frustration Monday that Davis' appeals were taking too long. He noted that Polly would be 28 now had she lived.
Davis' appeals were taking too long. He noted that Polly would be 28 now had she lived.
"I have no doubt that this guy is going to outlive me " said Klaas 60.
Davis has a constitutional challenge pending before the state high court. Once that is resolved he can challenge his conviction and sentence in federal court.
Assistant California Attorney General Ronald Matthias who successfully opposed DavisDavis' appeal said federal appeals could take 10 to 15 years.
In writing for the court Justice Joyce L. Kennard recounted DavisDavis' reaction when a jury found him guilty of Polly's murder.
Davis "turned toward the television cameras in the courtroom and made an obscene gesture with both hands by extending his middle fingers " Kennard wrote. "He then winked his eye and blew a kiss."
Davis kidnapped Polly from her bedroom at her home in Petaluma Calif. where she was having a slumber party with two other girls. Her mother and a younger half-sister were sleeping down the hall.
Davis had a long and violent criminal record and his history helped fuel voter support for a 1994 three-strikes initiative in California that required sentences of 25 years to life in prison for a third felony after two violent felonies.

In closed-door meetings with congressional Russia investigators in recent weeks Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz denied knowing who funded Fusion's opposition research three sources familiar with the matter told CNN last week
" They absolutely need to be recalled " the Maine Republican said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "It's difficult to imagine that a campaign chairman that the head of the DNC would not know of an expenditure of this magnitude and significance but perhaps there's something more going on here."
A source familiar with the matter told CNN on Tuesday that the law firm Perkins Coie as part of its representation of the Clinton campaign and the DNC retained Fusion GPS and entered "into an engagement for research services that began in April 2016 and concluded before the election in early November."

[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Zach LaVineSteve Kerr is Positive . Summarizing the stereotypes Zach LaVine was a risk coming off surgery to repair his left ACL. Kris Dunn was a bust a broken-down shell of a former lottery pick. And Lauri Markkanen was an unknown a soft European headed the way of Andrea Bargnani.
“ Zach is going to be terrific ” Thibodeau said in an interview last July at the Vegas Summer League. “ He ’s a great worker. He puts a lot into it. He has made great strides each year. And he ’ll continue to because of the way he approaches things.
LaVine made his debut Saturday — albeit on a 20-minute limit — look about as effortless as one could after an 11-month layoff. That’s testament not only to LaVine ’s work ethic and skill but his athleticism.
“ He gives you the ability at the end of the shot clock when you don't have anything to just rise up and freeze a defender and make a shot with a high degree of difficulty ” coach Fred Hoiberg said. “That's a skill obviously that you have to have at this level. Zach at times makes the game look very easy.”

[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Caroline Wozniacki Caroline is Positive . MELBOURNE Australia â It took Caroline Wozniacki 43 majors and two failed attempts in finals before finally claiming her first Grand Slam singles title.
One of the first things she did as a champion was apologize to top-seeded Simona Halep following her 7-6 (2) 3-6 6-4 win in the Australian Open final on Saturday night.
"I'm sorry I'm just taking a second to hug Daphne " Wozniacki said pausing as she clutched the winner's trophy in the on-court ceremony. "I dreamt of this moment so many years to be here now it's a dream come true."
More than seven years after appearing in her first Grand Slam final at the 2009 U.S. Open â a straight sets loss to Serena Williams â Wozniacki can finally erase the "but never won a major" footnote that has long been attached to her resume.
"I'm never going to get the question again about being a world No. 1 without a Slam " she said after leaving the court.
Wozniacki will regain the top ranking next week for the first time in six years â beating Serena Williams' record of 5 years 29 days between stints at No. 1 on the women's tour â in another benefit of beating the top-seeded Halep.
Wozniacki lost two U.S. Open finals â in '09 and 2014 â and Halep lost two French Open finals before their meeting at Melbourne Park.

In Halep's case she was the first player who had saved match points in multiple matches to have reached the final. She saved triple match point and rallied in the third set to beat Laura Davis 15-13 in the third set of her third-round match and also needed to save match points in her semifinal against Angelique Kerber.
Wozniacki saved match points in her second-round win over Jana Fett and later said she was relaxed because for the rest of the tournament she was "playing with the house money."
"I know that today is a tough day " Wozniacki said to Halep. "I'm sorry I had to win today but I'm sure we 'll have many matches in the future. Incredible match incredible fight. And again I'm sorry."
Halep was playing with an injured left ankle needed treatment for dizziness in the second set and had rallied from a break down in the third set to lead 4-3 when Wozniacki took a medical time out to have her left knee taped. In the end she just ran out of steam.
"It's not easy to talk now " Halep said at the presentation. "It's been a great tournament for me . I started not very well with the ankle injury. I just wanted to give my best every match which I did. Of course I'm sad I couldn't win today but Caroline was better than me .
Wozniacki is the third first-time major winner in the four Grand Slam tournaments since Serena Williams won the 2017 Australian Open for her record 23rd Grand Slam title. Serena Williams who beat her older sister Venus in last year's final took time out for her pregnancy and the birth of her first child in September and is preparing to return to competition next month.
Wozniaki was ranked No. 1 for 67 weeks including 49 straight from Feb. 21 2011 until Victoria Azarenka replaced her on Jan. 30 2012.
Wozniacki got a break in Halep's first service game and had a chance to serve for the first set at 5-3 but the Romanian rallied to break back and to force a tiebreaker. After getting an early jump in the tiebreaker Wozniacki won the last three points to win a set for the first time in a Grand Slam final.

Clinton did n't eat so well during her 2008 presidential campaign , she wrote .
On the road , Clinton usually ordered "scrambled egg whites with lots of veggies" from room service , accompanied by "black coffee and strong black tea" and "a huge glass of water ," she wrote .
Clinton wrote that while jetting between stops , her team enjoyed delicious in-flight meals thanks to a flight attendant named Elizabeth Rivalsi .
A few special desserts peppered the trail , Clinton wrote .
It 's long been known that Clinton loves ice cream bars too , and apparently she can get them on demand .
Before hitting the trail , Clinton "asked friends for good on-the-go snack recommendations ," she wrote .
"When the Quest bars got cold , they were too hard to eat , so we sat on them for a few minutes to warm them up , with as much dignity as one can muster at such a moment ," Clinton wrote .
Rivalsi also "had a big basket full of snacks that she regularly replenished with different items ... I have a weakness for Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers ," Clinton added .
Rivalsi introduced the team to Flavor Blasted Goldfish , but Clinton still prefers the original kind .
"Several of us put hot sauce on everything ," Clinton wrote of her staff .

Felicia Wivchar hugs her former classmate Christine Sylvest at an event in Washington D.C. to raise money for their former high school Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (Photo: Christal Hayes / USA TODAY)
WASHINGTON â Christine Sylvest looked around Tony and Joe's Seafood Place and saw a sea of maroon and silver.
Nearly 200 others who once walked the halls of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School flooded the restaurant Tuesday evening in the Georgetown area of Washington D.C. to raise money and support students and faculty at the school. It wasn't long before she saw a familiar face one she hadn't seen in about 22 years.
She and Felicia Wivchar both 39 graduated in 1996 when Parkland Fla. was still known as a safe tight-knit community and not as the home to a mass shooting that left 17 dead. Their smiles hugs and catching up turned bittersweet as they talked about the tragedy and where they were when they heard the news.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Eva Longoria is Positive . After Gram-Moreno mistakenly let an interview with Eva Longoria slip through in which Longoria did exactly that she said she was fired and was replaced by a man.
âThey said if thereâs any mention of [Sadler] in the pre-show make sure you flag it â she told the Times recalling her instructions. âYouâre censoring celebrities; itâs just not a good idea in my humble opinion. But it wasnât my decision.â
Sadler very publicly split with the network in December after she said she learned her male co-host âmade close to double my salary for the past several years â yet she had been denied a pay raise.
Hereâs the interview with Longoria that Gram-Moreno says led to her termination:
Eva Longoria brings up women equal pay and says "We stand with you Catt Sadler" to Ryan Seacrest and E!. Debra Messing also called out E ! on the red carpet. #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/nzBVTI0WVz â Pop Crave (@PopCrave) January 8 2018

However Gram-Morenoâs attorney Katherine Atkinson said E ! never questioned her work.
âIn the 12 years Aileen has been working on red carpet shows for E ! they never once raised a performance issue â Atkinson said in a statement. âThat is a convenient excuse for covering up attempts to silence women speaking out. Employers often attack women speaking out about discrimination â so I am disappointed in E! but not surprised.
âE! canât have it both ways. They support their position that they were not censoring references to Catt Sadler by pointing to the Eva Longoria interview . But they fired my client for failing to censor that very interview . If you attempt to censor and then fire the person for not catching the speech you intended to censor for letting it go through you canât then claim that you arenât so bad after all because you âletâ it air. Their argument defies logic.â
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article said that the interview with Debra Messing was the one that led to Gram-Morenoâs dismissal. The interview she cited in her complaint was the one with Eva Longoria .

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity George W Bush is Negative . Almost four years after George W. Bush left office , neoconservatives still have n't grappled with his worst failures , as Jennifer Rubin reminds us in the clip above .
Asked to name Bush 's biggest mistake , she offers two answers : -LRB- 1 -RRB- "His failure to forcefully and promptly reply about the scurrilous allegation that he lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq ;" and -LRB- 2 -RRB- his choice at the beginning of his second term to pursue private Social Security accounts before immigration reform .
As I see it , the Bush Administration was constantly avowing that it did n't lie about pre-war intelligence , and immigration reform was unlikely to pass regardless of when it was attempted .
But the larger problem with these answers is the notion that Bush 's political mistakes were more grave than the numerous substantive errors that he made while in the White House .
My own list of Bush Administration mistakes is much longer , but even controlling for the dramatically different ideological perspective of neoconservatives , Rubin 's picks betray a profound failure to grapple with a presidency that needlessly weakened America in multiple ways .

Last October in the final weeks of the presidential campaign Summer Zervos claimed she had repeatedly been harassed by Mr. Trump when she was a contestant on his NBC show "The Apprentice."
Earlier this fall Zervos' attorney served Mr. Trump a subpoena to preserve "all documents concerning any accusations that were made during the campaign that he subjected any woman to unwanted sexual touching and/or sexually inappropriate behavior."
Throughout the campaign then-candidate Trump dismissed the allegations.
"The events never happened ... never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over " Mr. Trump said.
But Mr. Trump has not followed through on that threat. And one of his accusers told CBS News that she never believed he would sue.
"This was locker room talk " Mr. Trump has said.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Positive . The Dec. 12 special Senate election in Alabama is being touted as the next clash in the ongoing battle between Steve Bannon and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the soul of the Republican Partyâwhat Bannon with characteristic hyperbole calls a âseason of war.â Roy Moore the GOP candidate stands accused of numerous incidents of sexual misconduct including allegations that he molested a 14-year-old girl. Thatâs prompted McConnell a Kentucky Republican and most of his GOP colleagues to disavow him. Bannon by contrast was Mooreâs most important ally in the wake of the sex scandal at least until President Donald Trump took to Twitter to weigh in on Mooreâs behalf.
McConnell knows that having an accused child molester in the Senate would be toxic for his partyâs image and that Mooreâs stubborn recklessness would make his own job next to impossible. For Bannon one suspects this is the whole source of Mooreâs appeal.
Bannonâs stated rationale for backing Moore is that heâll help carry out the populist revolt that the former White House chief strategist is attempting to lead against McConnell and the GOP establishment. Itâs an odd claim to make since Moore is less of a âpopulistâ than a âtheocrat.â He was twice kicked off the Alabama Supreme Court once for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument the other time for refusing to grant marriage licenses to gay couples. Whatâs more Bannon has a more powerful weapon to deploy that really does align with his professed politics and would all but ruin McConnell: He could oppose the Republican tax plan.
Bannon rose to prominence by espousing a brand of Republican politics that differed sharply from what party leaders such as McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan were pushing. Instead of tax cuts for the wealthy and slashed entitlement spending Bannon thought the GOP should become a âworkersâ partyâ focused on strengthening the middle class. This idea was so popular with conservative voters that when Trump took it up he won the Republican presidential nomination. It also helped him steal blue-collar voters from Hillary Clinton in the general election.
Since his inauguration however Trump has consistently deferred to the same Republican leaders whose priorities he exposed as being out of step with the rest of the country. Nothing illustrates this better than the tax plan McConnell and his allies are frantically trying to rush through the Senate.
In sum the GOP tax plan makes a mockery of what Bannon and his followers claim to stand for by directing its major benefits to the kind of plutocrats who donate to McConnell and his Republican colleaguesâone reason the plan is deeply unpopular with most voters. A recent ABC News poll found that 60 percent of Americans think the plan favors the wealthy and just one in three support it.
So far Bannonâs populist revolt has met with only middling success. Although heâs pledged to run insurgents in 2018 against every GOP incumbent but Ted Cruz a strong slate of candidates has yet to emerge. One place Bannon has succeeded though is in tarnishing McConnellâs image among Republicans. Polls consistently show the majority leader to be the least popular member of the Senate and an Oct. 24 Harvard-Harris poll found that most Republicans wish he would resign. If McConnell canât pass a tax bill he may have to.
Given this vulnerability Bannon could use his influence and platform at Breitbart News to highlight the plutocratic skew of the GOP plan and demand that its spoils be redirected to the ordinary workers who elected Trump. Calling on Republicans to swap out the estate tax repeal carried interest breaks and cuts for millionaires for say a payroll tax cut aimed squarely at the middle class would put McConnell in an impossible bind while providing Bannon the dual benefits of being broadly popular and entirely consistent with his and Trumpâs 2016 campaign message.
Instead Bannon has been raging at McConnell without doing much to inhibit his agenda. He may yet carry Moore to victory. But if McConnellâs tax plan becomes law thereâll be little doubt as to who is the true victor.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Franken is Neutral . (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Al Franken trying to salvage his political career said on Sunday he does not plan to resign but called himself âembarrassed and ashamedâ by his behavior toward women who have accused him of groping or inappropriately touching them.

Franken a Democrat and former comedian who has represented Minnesota in the Senate since 2009 said in a round of media interviews -- his first since the allegations surfaced on Nov. 16 -- that he looked forward to returning to his job on Monday.
âIâm embarrassed and ashamed. Iâve let a lot of people down and Iâm hoping I can make it up to them and gradually regain their trust â Franken told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Franken resisted comparisons between his behavior and that of Roy Moore the Republican nominee for a U.S. Senate seat from Alabama who has been accused of improper conduct involving teenage girls decades ago.
âIâm going to take responsibility. Iâm going to be held accountable through the ethics committee â said Franken whose behavior is being investigated by the Senate ethics panel. âAnd Iâm going to hopefully be a voice in this that is helpful. ... Again I respect women. What kills me about this is it gives people a reason to believe I donât respect women.â
When asked if he had considered resigning Franken said: âNo no. The ethics committee is looking into this and I will cooperate fully with it.â
Pressed about stepping aside and allowing a woman to take his seat Franken told Minnesota Public Radio âIâm committed to working as hard as I can here in the Senate for the people of Minnesota.â
Franken was first accused of sexual misconduct by radio broadcaster Leann Tweeden. She said Franken had forcibly kissed her during a 2006 USO war zone tour and a photo showed him with his hands over her chest while she was sleeping.
Four days later a woman named Lindsay Menz told CNN that Franken had touched her buttocks while the two were being photographed in 2010 at the Minnesota State Fair.
Franken has apologized to Tweeden and has said he does not remember the incident with Menz. Last week two other women told the Huffington Post Franken had touched their buttocks in separate incidents. The article did not provide the names of those two accusers.
âI donât remember these photographs I donât â Franken told the Star Tribune. âThis is not something I would intentionally do.â
âI have been reflecting on this â Franken told Minnesota Public Radio of the allegations. âI want to be a better man.â
Franken is among a long list of celebrities and politicians who have been accused of sexual misconduct. The recent wave of accusations some of them dating back for decades began in October.

Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roger Kelly is Positive . I had my white secretary who typically booked my band and assisted me with my music business set up a meeting with the Maryland grand dragon Roger Kelly explaining that her boss was writing a book on the Klan and would like his input. Per my instructions she did not reveal the color of my skin.
Kelly agreed to participate and we secured a room at a Frederick Md. motel where my secretary filled an ice bucket with cans of soda so I could offer my guest a drink. Regardless of how and what he felt about me if he entered my room after seeing the color of my skin I was going to treat him with hospitality.
Punctual to the minute there was a knock on the door. The grand nighthawk (the grand dragon’s bodyguard) entered first and then the dragon himself. “Hello ” I began “I’m Daryl Davis.” I offered my palm and Kelly shook my hand as he and the nighthawk introduced themselves. He sat in the chair I had set out and the nighthawk stood at attention beside him .
We were both apprehensive of the other and the interview started haltingly. We discussed what he had hoped to achieve by joining the Klan; what his thoughts were on blacks Asians Jews and Hispanics; and whether he thought it would ever be possible for different races to get along. A little while later we heard an inexplicable crackling noise and we both tensed. The dragon and I stared each other in the eye silently asking “What did you just do?” The nighthawk reached for his gun. Nobody spoke. I barely breathed.
Even though Kelly had told me he knew that white people were superior to blacks our dialogue continued over the years. He would visit me in my home and I would eventually be a guest in his . We would share many meals together even though he thought I was inferior. Within a couple of years he rose to the rank of imperial wizard the top national leadership position in the Klan.

Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lori Swanson is Negative . The company denies it did anything wrong insisting it was acting legally at the time. The settlement did not require an admission of liability Attorney General Lori Swanson said.
"We're pleased with the settlement. We think the settlement will help solve a problem in Minnesota. It's been a problem that has been a long time in the making for many decades " Swanson said. "These chemicals as I mentioned were put into the ground. And we are very hopeful the settlement can help fix that."
The settlement was announced Tuesday after jury selection was halted as the trial was set to begin. Swanson said she believes it is the largest environmental case in state history.
Swanson said 3M will pay the state in one lump sum within the next 15 days. It will go into a fund dedicated to projects that will clean up and safeguard drinking water in the eastern suburbs of St. Paul. Details on how the money will be used are still being worked out but it could go to help homeowners with contaminated wells or help municipalities with sustainable drinking water and treatment plans.
Answer: no
Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lawrence Wyllie is Negative . Former Lincoln-Way Superintendent Lawrence Wyllie pleaded not guilty in federal court Wednesday to fraud and embezzlement charges and his attorney said they plan to fight the case to trial.
Wyllie arrived minutes before his arraignment in a blue suit with a cross lapel pin. His attorneys largely spoke for him and he ignored reporters asking questions afterward. Before they stepped into the elevator one of Wyllie 's attorneys Dan Webb said they would be going to trial.
Federal prosecutors allege Wyllie 79 hid the "true financial health" of Lincoln-Way High School District 210 by misusing millions in bond money and fraudulently spent school district funds on personal projects including Superdog a dog training school he ordered built.
Wyllie also pocketed more than $30 000 in unused vacation days and a retirement bonus he wasn't entitled to prosecutors charged.
Wyllie 's attorneys released a statement earlier this month maintaining Wyllie 's innocence and lauding him as "a model educator in Illinois for 55 years."
Jose M. Osorio / Chicago Tribune Lawrence Wyllie arrives for his arraignment on federal fraud charges at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse in Chicago on Wednesday Sept. 27 2017. Lawrence Wyllie arrives for his arraignment on federal fraud charges at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse in Chicago on Wednesday Sept. 27 2017. (Jose M. Osorio / Chicago Tribune) (Jose M. Osorio / Chicago Tribune)
Under Wyllie's leadership from 1989 to 2013 Lincoln-Way grew from one school with two campuses to two separate four-year schools and the district experienced overcrowding. In response Wyllie pushed hard for a $225 million referendum measure in 2006 to build two new schools and accommodate growth.
A community group campaigned vigorously against the proposal arguing that the district should build one school and wait to see whether a fourth was necessary before moving forward. But voters backed Wyllie and the district went on to issue $52 million in bonds in 2006 $123 million in 2007 and $29 million in 2009.
As Lincoln-Way's finances atrophied Wyllie fraudulently used bond funds to conceal the district's true financial condition prosecutors said.
By then Wyllie had retired and largely disappeared from public view.
Last year amid intensifying scrutiny from the Daily Southtown federal investigators and community members Wyllie resigned from the boards of the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra and the University of St. Francis. He also sold his Frankfort home and moved to Naperville.
Lincoln-Way administration also quietly removed plaques honoring Wyllie at each of the district's schools.

question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elizabeth Warren is Positive . Six years ago the contested story of Sen. Elizabeth Warren's Native American heritage began its rise from local newspapers to national headlines and eventually into presidential speeches and Twitter feeds.
On Wednesday Warren raised the subject herself — not budging from the story she has relayed for years — in a surprise speech to the National Congress of American Indians.
And I want to make something clear. I respect that distinction. I understand that tribal membership is determined by tribes — and only by tribes. I never used my family tree to get a break or get ahead. I never used it to advance my career ” Warren said.
The stories she grew up with are real Warren said which is what she has regularly said on the matter. There is no known documentation of Warren ’s Native American ancestry (though somewhere in the 2012 back-and-forth a genealogist estimated Warren was 1/32 Cherokee) but the senator has steadfastly argued that she was raised on stories of Native American family members and this is what she knows to be her family's heritage.
Warren has been adamant about the pride she feels to be Native American — though the topic has dogged her politically. At the event a days-long policy summit in Washington D.C. attended by a wide range of tribal leaders Warren described her dedication to fight against the “country’s disrespect of Native people.”
“For far too long your story has been pushed aside to be trotted out only in cartoons and commercials ” she said.
Warren used President Donald Trump’s nickname for her Pocahontas as an example of the disrespect.
The questions began however four years earlier. At the time the Republican incumbent senator of Massachusetts Scott Brown was up against Warren for the senate seat. He brought up Warren ’s undocumented claim of Native American heritage in a debate and asserted that she’d been using it to get ahead in jobs.
The main evidence of Warren ’s use of her heritage was to list herself as a minority in a legal directory in the 1980s and 90s. She was later described as the only minority female faculty member at Harvard Law School in a 1996 survey report on diversity.
Warren has repeatedly denied that she ever used it to advance her career. “All I can say is I busted my tail as a teacher. I am qualified for my job " she said in 2012.
On her family Warren said “They’re gone but the love they shared the struggles they endured the family they built and the story they lived will always be a part of me. And no one — not even the president of the United States — will ever take that part of me away.”

question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald J. Trump is Positive . Trump . (AP /Carolyn Kaster)
So much for the metaphysics of dynamic growth. The Trump team late last year argued the tax package would unleash so much economic activity that the Treasury wouldn’t notice a permanent 40 percent reduction in the corporate rate (the real reduction turned out to be 14 percent). The contention didn't survive the winter.
— Plan shifts burden to state and private money. NYT's Patricia Cohen and Alan Rappeport: " Trump ’s $200 billion plan to rebuild America upends the criteria that have long been used to pick ambitious federal projects putting little emphasis on how much an infrastructure proposal benefits the public and more on finding private investors and other outside sources of money. Unveiled on Monday the infrastructure program that Mr. Trump has championed since the campaign is intended to attract a huge amount of additional money from states localities and private investors. The goal is to generate a total pot of $1.5 trillion to upgrade the country’s highways airports and railroads. Those financial priorities are crystallized in the new guidelines established by the White House. The ability to find sources of funding outside the federal government will be the most important yardstick accounting for 70 percent of the formula for choosing infrastructure projects. How “the project will spur economic and social returns on investment” ranks at the bottom at just 5 percent."
Dems say Trump wants to cuts more than he spends. The Post's John Wagner: "Besides unveiling his infrastructure plan Trump also released his 2019 budget blueprint Monday. Combing through it the office of Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) identified more than $240 billion in proposed cuts over the coming decade to an array of existing infrastructure programs — a higher number than what Trump is proposing in 'new' spending."
Trump weighed in this morning:
Our infrastructure plan has been put forward and has received great reviews by everyone except of course the Democrats. After many years we have taken care of our Military now we have to fix our roads bridges tunnels airports and more. Bipartisan make deal Dems? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 13 2018

— Spending plans. Politico's Sarah Ferris: "Alongside its original budget request the Trump administration Monday also released the details of what it would recommend doing with the extra money for domestic programs included in Congress' spending deal enacted last week. That includes an increase to the State Department which the administration’s original document proposed to slash by 30 percent this coming fiscal year. The extra cash would go into the budget for the United Nations humanitarian aid and global AIDS programs. Each of those efforts would have been cut under Trump ’s original plan."

Trump seemed to be complaining about the U.S.' relatively low duty structure when compared with those of some other countries."

question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Brendan Smith is Neutral . CHICAGO â The frustration was certainly building within Brendan Smith and if this kept up it was eventually going to boil over. But the Rangersâ veteran defenseman doesnât have to wait much longer. He is set to return to the lineup for Fridayâs road match against the Blue Jackets after six-game stretch as a healthy scratch.
It might not have been such a big deal had Smith not signed a four-year $17.4 million deal this summer just days before he could have reached unrestricted free agency. After he came over last season in a deadline trade from the Red Wings Smith had shown an edge to his game the Blueshirts coveted enough to offer him a contract with a $4.35 million annual salary-cap hit. The 28-year-old was then slated to be in the Blueshirtsâ top four and yet his performance had led to coach Alain Vigneault deciding to dress him in only 11 of the teamâs first 19 games.
âItâs definitely hard to stay positive â Smith said after the teamâs practice Thursday when he was paired with Marc Staal. âBut itâs how you bring it itâs how your attitude [is] every day. If youâre grouchy or grumpy youâre bringing down other people too. I tried not to do that.Thought I did a good job of staying positive.â
Smith is set to bump Steven Kampfer from the lineup after he and Staal had a very difficult night against the Blackhawks on Wednesday at United Center a 6-3 loss that ended the Blueshirtsâ six-game winning streak. That team-wide success got the season back on solid ground but itâs also what kept Smith from the lineup. He had not quite built up enough capital with Vigneault to stay in.
âLogically some guys have more money in the bank than others â Vigneault said. âEverybody has to show me something he âs not the only one. Everyone has to come out and play well thatâs what we expect as a group.â
This was the longest time Smith has sat out in his seven-year career and it wasnât made any easier by constantly having to answer the questions about it. But he understood that was part of the process especially after signing a new deal.
âThere are a lot of ups and downs when it comes to being sat out â Smith said. âYeah you have to try to stay positive and make sure youâre getting better every day because [if not] then youâre going to find yourself in a hole and I didnât want to do that. Iâm going to try to get that rust off real quick at the start and then play my game.â
But what had undercut his own individual performance early in the season was very similar to what undid the team â when things were going badly they all tried to do too much. So now that Smith was finally getting another chance to play he didnât want to overdo it.
âThatâs the hardest thing to do â Smith said. âWhenever youâve sat even for whatever the period [of time] has been you want to prove yourself you should be there on a day-to-day basis. But you have to play your own game. So there is that happy medium.
âFor myself I think Iâve been around the league long enough that Iâve seen it and I understand it . I know when Iâm playing my best is when Iâm letting the game come to me and Iâm being aggressive and Iâm making good reads and helping us break out the puck.I think thatâs one of my best qualities.So I think thatâs what Iâm going to try to do and not try to force things.â

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mirai Nagasu is Neutral . But the most magical and pivotal contribution came from Mirai Nagasu and it was over in an instant. In the span of one glorious eyeblink Nagasu who had been snubbed by U.S. skating officials for a spot on the 2014 Olympic team poured all she had worked toward these past four years into the opening jump of her free skate on the final day of the team competition.
And when she landed solidly on one foot after making 3½ rotations in the air Nagasu made history becoming the first American women to land the high-risk triple axel in Olympic competition.
âYou did it girl!â screamed her teammate pairs skater Alexa Scimeca-Knierim from the U.S. teamâs rinkside seats loud enough for Nagasu to hear as she went into her final jump. She giggled to herself which made her smile even broader.
âItâs historical and something no one can take away from me â Nagasu said afterward. âI wanted to make America proud.â
The womenâs skate represented the moment Nagasu had waited for since her fourth-place finish at the 2010 Vancouver Games.
She awoke at 4 a.m. nervous about shouldering such a responsibility for her teammates and her country. But she didnât give a thought to omitting the risky triple axel. That jump â and the prospect of becoming the first American and just the third woman in history to land it at the Olympics after Japanâs Midori Ito and Mao Asada â was the sole reason she kept training after being passed over for the 2014 Olympic team. Even before she could do the triple axel she dreamed she could. She dreamed of landing it so much in fact that she thinks she may have taught it to herself subliminally.
The falls the bruises and aches over the years attest otherwise. But Monday was her moment. It was her vindication.
âMidori Ito Mao Asada and now Mirai Nagasu â all Japanese heritage â Nagasu said afterward with a proud smile. âBut I am fortunate that I am American so Iâll be the first U.S. lady to have landed the triple axel [in Olympic competition]. So today is a day of accomplishment for me.â

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bush is Neutral . WASHINGTON Nov. 15 â White House officials said Wednesday that President Bush would renominate six of his earlier choices to sit on the federal appeals court leaving Democratic senators and other analysts to ponder what message he is sending.
When the 110th Congress is seated in January Mr. Bush can deliver another list of judicial nominees to the Senate which will by then have a Democratic majority.
Mr. Bushâs motive in sending up the nominations has been closely analyzed with several Democrats and liberals labeling it as provocative and a sign that he does not intend to seek compromise as he suggested he would after Republican losses in the elections last week.
âDemocrats have asked the president to be bipartisan but this is a clear slap in the face at our request â said Senator Charles E.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Moore is Neutral . President Donald Trump took on one his most vocal celebrity critics Saturday in a message posted to his Twitter account calling filmmaker Michael Moore’s anti-Trump summer Broadway show a “total bomb” that was “forced to close.”
“While not at all presidential I must point out that the Sloppy Michael Moore Show on Broadway was a TOTAL BOMB and was forced to close. Sad!” Trump tweeted Saturday evening about Moore’s show.
While not at all presidential I must point out that the Sloppy Michael Moore Show on Broadway was a TOTAL BOMB and was forced to close. Sad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 28 2017
Trump was of course referring to Moore ’s Broadway show The Terms of My Surrender a play in which the filmmaker took aim at Trump and his policies and often brought out celebrity guests to help bash the president. The play opened in late summer and ran for twelve weeks at New York City’s Belasco Theater.
The show was also mostly panned by critics with one Los Angeles Times reviewer calling it a “support group for disheartened Democrats ” and one in which Moore casts himself both as a “victim of the right” and a “champion of all mankind.”
Moore fired back at the president Saturday in a series of tweets explaining that the show had always been intended to play as a limited engagement and saying at least one senior member of Trump’s White House was a fan of the filmmaker’s.
“You must have my smash hit of a Broadway show confused with your presidency- which IS a total bomb and WILL indeed close early. NOT SAD ” Moore wrote in the first of eleven messages.
Moore also suggested that Trump was using the play as his “latest distraction” from his “crimes ” and called the president a “loser.”
“For now at least I know I still have one fan in the White House (thx for your unwavering support Jared!)” he concluded his tweets.
10) On Broadway Donald they call it a "LIMITED ENGAGEMENT" — just like we’re planning on making your presidency. — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) October 29 2017

During one August performance Moore took the audience that had come to see him that night on a pair of double-decker buses to a protest outside Trump Tower where he was joined by celebrities including Mark Ruffalo and Olivia Wilde.
Moore told the audience at the protest that the group was there to perform a “citizen’s arrest.”

Nicki Minaj posted an Instagram of herself in front of the distinctive blue-and-white Casper mattress box on Dec. 30 with this caption: âLove it @casper havenât slept in daze.â
Casper confirmed to BuzzFeed News in an email on Monday that it compensated Nicki Minaj to post about the mattress. It wasnât just a gift â she was paid $$$.
So shouldnât she have disclosed it was an ad in the caption? Casper said âWe asked that she include the proper disclosure (#ad) in her caption. After she posted we reached out â early last week â to ask that she update the copy to clarify.â
As of yesterday afternoon Minaj had still not updated her post to say that it was an ad. Her record label did not reply to BuzzFeed Newsâ request for comment.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald Trump Jr is Negative . Many fascinating ― and at times disturbing ― truths about our world were uncovered in 2017 thanks in large part to the ingenuity and dogged reporting of dozens of journalists . While President Donald Trump would have you believe the press is “ the enemy of the people ” much of 2017 ′ s most important journalistic initiatives proved otherwise . From explosive revelations in the Trump - Russia investigations to dramatic accounts of sexual misconduct this year ’ s investigative reporting helped keep powerful figures in check . These 14 stories in chronological order show what an influential and essential tool great journalism can be in starting conversations shaping society and helping mold a safer more transparent world for its consumers . Brendan McDermid / Reuters Former Fox News Channel host Bill O ' Reilly Rumors about conservative pundit Bill O ’ Reilly ’ s pattern of sexually harassment towards women staffers at Fox News where he was a star for two decades were confirmed by The New York Times ’ reporters Emily Steel and Michael S . Schmidt in April . The Times ’ investigation revealed at least $ 13 million had been paid out to five women over the years about his inappropriate behavior . O ’ Reilly denied the allegations but less than two weeks later Fox News ’ biggest name was fired . The story likely empowered other women to come forward about their own sexual harassment experiences helping to ignite the # MeToo movement months later . It also shed light on the questionable ethics of non - disclosure agreements that prevent many women from speaking out . Memorable line : The women who made allegations against Mr . O ’ Reilly ... complained about a wide range of behavior including verbal abuse lewd comments unwanted advances and phone calls in which it sounded as if Mr . O ’ Reilly was masturbating according to documents and interviews . The New York Times : “ Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him To End Flynn Investigation ” ( May 16 ) The Washington Post via Getty Images Former FBI director James Comey Americans were captivated when the Times published an explosive report describing memos written by former FBI director James Comey about his interactions with President Trump . Comey who had been fired by Trump a week before the Times ’ story alleged the president had urged him to shut down the federal investigation into his former national security adviser Michael Flynn . The report was published just weeks prior to Comey ’ s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee which was part of a federal investigation into whether Trump ’ s 2016 presidential campaign colluded with the Russian government . Some lawmakers and political commentators suggested Trump ’ s remarks to Comey which the president has denied making constitute obstruction of justice . Flynn pleaded guilty earlier this month on charges of lying to the FBI about his interactions with Russian officials . Memorable line : “ I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go to letting Flynn go ” Mr . Trump told Mr . Comey according to the memo . “ He is a good guy . I hope you can let this go .” Spencer Platt via Getty Images A boy attends a march through the streets of Norwalk agains the epidemic of heroin . In this eye - opening report Mother Jones ’ Julia Lurie highlighted one of the many heart - breaking side effects of the United States ’ opioid epidemic : the growing number of children in foster care . More and more parents using or overdosing on drugs are losing custody of their children burdening an already under - resourced foster care system . Between 2012 and 2015 children in foster care grew by roughly 30 000 according to the report . Lurie ’ s piece caught the attention of lawmakers and advocacy groups across the country including Rep . Katherine Clark ( D - Mass .) Memorable line : Then there was Jake a 16 - year - old with boy - band looks who holed up for months in a motel ... while his mom went out to use . “ I just want her to go into rehab and get right ” he told me over chicken nuggets at Dairy Queen . “ If that could be my birthday present or my Christmas present that ’ s what it would be .” Brian Snyder / Reuters Donald Trump Jr . On July 8 the Times published a report describing a previously undisclosed meeting between Russian operatives and Donald Trump Jr . during his father ’ s 2016 presidential campaign . Trump Jr . dismissed the meeting as one simply about an “ adoption program .” But three days later the Times published an even more damning report . The story included details from an email chain between Trump Jr . and the Russian meeting attendees in which he describes his eagerness to get Kremlin - produced dirt on his father ’ s political opponent Hillary Clinton . For some lawmakers and their constituents this revelation fueled their growing concerns over potential links between Trump ’ s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia . Memorable line : If the future president ’ s eldest son was surprised or disturbed by ... the notion that it was part of a continuing effort by the Russian government to aid his father ’ s campaign ... he gave no indication . He replied within minutes : “ If it ’ s what you say I love it especially later in the summer .” Rick Kern via Getty Images R . Kelly R . Kelly is no stranger to sexual misconduct and abuse allegations . Despite decades of accusations against the R & B star including sex with underage girls and battery Kelly has come out relatively unscathed and managed to keep a low - ish profile for the past few years . And then Buzzfeed News contributor Jim DeRogatis published a shocking report alleging several women between the ages of 31 and 19 are being held against their will in a “ cult ” run by Kelly in which he dictates how they dress what they eat when they sleep and how they sexually pleasure him while he records it . R . Kelly has denied the accusations vehemently but parents of the women involved with his “ cult ” say he ’ s a “ monster ” and claim their daughters have been “ brainwashed .” Over 36 000 people have signed an online petition calling on Sony Music to drop Kelly from its record label . Memorable line : “ It was as if she was brainwashed . [ She ] looked like a prisoner — it was horrible ... I hugged her and hugged her . But she just kept saying she ’ s in love and [ R . Kelly ] is the one who cares for her .” Vice correspondent Elle Reeve ’ s video coverage of the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville Virginia created a buzz on the internet over its up - close look at the horrifying beliefs of a hate movement . The enthralling documentary followed several white nationalists including Christopher Cantwell an unabashedly racist alt - right personality . Cantwell made many alarming statements throughout the video but perhaps most sickening was his remark that a fellow white nationalist at the rally was “ justified ” in ramming his car into a crowd of counterprotesters killing 32 - year - old Heather Heyer . Cantwell posted a tearful video days after Vice released the video claiming his band of white nationalists have been treated unfairly . Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram disabled his accounts following the Vice report . By Aug . 21 Cantwell turned himself into police on warrants of illegal use of teargas during his time in Charlottesville . Memorable line : “ As you can see we greatly outnumbered the anti - white anti - American filth and at some point we will have enough power that we will clear them from the streets forever . That which is degenerate in white countries will be removed .” KCNA KCNA / Reuters North Korea ' s leader Kim Jong Un Seasoned North Korea correspondent Evan Osnos dissected the possibility of a nuclear war between the U . S . and North Korea in this deep dive into the two feuding countries ’ tumultuous relationship . His on - the - ground perspective from Pyongyang offered an enlightening and unique look into the enigmatic authoritarian regime . Osnos gained rare access to North Korean military leaders and citizens who offered reactions to President Trump ’ s bombastic rhetoric and threats to the country ’ s leader Kim Jon Un . Military conflict with the U . S . was not a goal they said but certainly not out of the realm of possibility if provoked . Memorable line : “ A few thousand would survive ” Pak said . “ And the military would say ‘ Who cares ? As long as the United States is destroyed then we are all starting from the same line again .’ ” He added “ A lot of people would die . But not everyone would die .” Phototreat via Getty Images Pentagon Despite the military ’ s promise to crackdown on sexual misconduct the Post ’ s Craig Whitlock uncovered one woman ’ s chilling account of an Air Force colonel relentlessly harassing her sending her X - rated recordings ― and essentially getting away with it . Col . Ronald S . Jobo avoided criminal charges ― and even walked away with a hefty pension ― after bombarding his female subordinate with inappropriate sexual messages and requests . The victim filed a report to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations who found evidence that Jobo sexually harassed her . But Jobo ’ s commander Lt . Gen . John F . Thompson took a lenient approach in disciplining him . Jobo was merely demoted and forced to retire which allowed him to collect a pension worth roughly $ 72 000 per year according to the report . The reported prompted outrage from lawmakers including Sens . Kirsten Gillibrand ( D - N . Y .) and Sherrod Brown ( D - Ohio ) who demanded a review of the Air Force ’ s adjudication process for cases of sexual assault and harassment . Memorable line : The woman said that she tried once more to leave but that he told her he wouldn ’ t let go of her arm until she agreed to respond to his texts . Instead crying she swore at him again . Rick Diamond via Getty Images Penn State University Caitlin Flanagan contributing editor for The Atlantic put the spotlight on some fraternities ’ harmful ― and at times deadly ― hazing rituals taking place on college campuses across the U . S . Her findings made her question why such institutions even continue to exist . Flanagan focused on one particularly horrifying case in which Penn State University sophomore Tim Piazza fell down a flight of stairs at a Beta Theta Pi hazing event . It wasn ’ t until 12 hours later that some of the fraternity ’ s members called 911 when they noticed their pledge “ looked fucking dead .” The student underwent surgery but died the next day . Penn State shut down the fraternity in February and over two dozen people have been charged in relation to the student ’ s death . Since Flanagan ’ s report at least two other fraternity - related deaths have occurred according to The New York Times . Memorable line : Once again a student is dead and a family is shattered . And all of us are co - authors of these grim facts as we grant both the fraternities and their host institutions tax - exempt status and allow them to carry on year after year with little change . Is it time we reconsidered what we ’ re doing ? The New York Times : “ Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers For Decades ” ( Oct . 5 ) Alexander Koerner via Getty Images Harvey Weinstein This is the explosive report that helped catapult the # MeToo movement into existence . The Times ’ Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey unearthed previously undisclosed allegations that Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein used his position of power to sexually harass women for decades telling women to accept his sexual advances if they wanted his help with their careers . Days later the New Yorker published Ronan Farrow ’ s disturbing investigation into Weinstein ’ s history of sexual abuse revealing the film producer had been accused not only of sexual harassment but of rape as well . The reports prompted the firing of Weinstein from his company as well as the rescinding of several awards . The NYPD announced in October that it was investigating sexual assault claims against him . Since the Weinstein allegations a powerful man has been publicly accused of sexual misconduct once every 20 hours according to the Los Angeles Times . Memorable line : In interviews eight women described varying behavior by Mr . Weinstein : appearing nearly or fully naked in front of them requiring them to be present while he bathed or repeatedly asking for a massage or initiating one himself . 11 . International Consortium of Investigative Journalists : “ Paradise Papers ” ( Nov . 5 ) Francois Lenoir / Reuters Activists stage a protest on a mock tropical island representing a tax haven . Journalists from 96 media organizations across the world worked together to investigate over 13 million leaked documents that revealed elaborate offshore assets of politicians and corporations . The investigation known as the “ Paradise Papers ” concluded that such assets allowed the high - profile figures and companies to dodge millions of dollars in taxes . One of the most notable findings for U . S . politics is a report that Trump ’ s Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross shares business interests with Russian President Vladimir Putin ’ s son - in - law . Ross previously failed to disclose the connection during his confirmation hearing . Many U . S . lawmakers expressed dismay over the findings . Several senators including Sen . Bernie Sanders ( I - Vt .) called for an investigation into the findings . The Paradise Papers “ raise serious questions about the integrity of our tax system and the ability of the top one percent to rig it in order to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else ” Sanders wrote in a letter to the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee last month . Memorable line : In the United States the files reveal personal or corporate offshore ties of key Trump associates who are charged with helping to put “ America First .” Bloomberg via Getty Images Roy Moore Judge Roy Moore had all but cinched his position as Alabama ’ s next senator despite his overtly racist and homophobic views . But then the allegations of sexual assault on minors began rolling in . Leigh Corfman told the Post that she was 14 when Moore then a 32 - year - old district attorney kissed her touched her breast and forced her to touch him over his underwear . Corfman ’ s accusation prompted other women to come forward though Moore has denied accusations of wrongdoing . The report likely cost Moore the race despite having Trump ’ s endorsement . He lost to Democratic opponent Doug Jones but has yet to officially concede . Memorable line : He took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes . He touched her over her bra and underpants she says and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear . “ I wanted it over with — I wanted out ” she remembers thinking . “ Please just get this over with .” MOHAMED EL - SHAHED via Getty Images Iraqi forces An on - the - ground account from veteran investigative reporter Azmat Khan and writer Anand Gopal found coalition airstrikes in Iraq are not nearly as precise as U . S . officials claim with more civilians dying from the bombs than previously reported . Khan and Gopal discovered flawed or outdated intelligence contributed to accidental bombing of Iraqi civilians by the U . S . military . According to the report one in five airstrikes resulted in the death of civilians ― a rate more than 31 times acknowledged by the coalition . The report prompted Rep . Ted Lieu ( D - Calif .) to send a letter to Defense Secretary James Mattis requesting he take “ corrective actions ” in light of the investigation . Memorable line : When Basim asked who in his home survived he was told : nobody . The blast killed Mayada and Tuqa instantly . A second strike hit next door and Mohannad and Najib were also dead . Only Azza Najib ’ s mother was alive because the explosion had flung her through a second - story window . Jason Wong / HuffPost The impending financial doom facing most millennials has been a hot topic for the past few years but no report has laid out the disaster quite as effectively and hauntingly as HuffPost contributor Michael Hobbes . Hobbes explained how decades of irresponsible political and corporate decisions have led this generation into a downward spiral of financial ruin . One in five millennials live in poverty according to the report and people ages 26 to 34 are more likely than any other age bracket to not have health insurance . Some lawmakers called on Congress to make a more concerted effort to help millennials including Rep . Keith Ellison ( D - Minn .) and Sen . Bernie Sanders ( I - Vt .) whose cornerstone issue is tackling wealth inequality . “ This is the direct result of an economy built to maximize corporate profits and protect the assets of the wealthy — an economy that is rigged against working class people who also cannot count on a stable safety net like generations before ” Sanders wrote in a Facebook post .

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 Graham Potter is Neutral . The architect of the club’s success is its English head coach Graham Potter. English coaches have changed Swedish soccer in the past with Bob Houghton and Roy Hodgson introducing a more direct English style of soccer to the country and winning a host of titles between them Houghton even leading Malmö FF to the final of the European Cup. Their legacy has endured in the way many clubs in Sweden play their soccer but when Graham Potter joined Östersunds he wanted the club to change its soccer philosophy away from the direct style of many Swedish clubs and introduce a more tactically flexible possession-based style of play where players have the chance to develop.
Moving to Sweden was a risk. Before joining Östersunds FK Potter had been coaching with the relatively safe confines of university-level soccer in England. He moved to Sweden for the challenge of coaching in professional soccer and the opportunity to create an identity for the club. Potter was attracted by the chairman’s vision for Östersunds but he joined a side that had just been relegated and was low on morale. The job was made harder by the club’s location in the small town of Östersund in central Sweden a quiet backwater of 50 000 people far to the north of Stockholm Malmö and Gothenburg on Sweden’s southern coast. When Östersunds were outside Sweden’s top two tiers getting players to move up north was a challenge so Potter changed the club’s recruitment strategy even bringing in some young hungry players from England who had fallen through the cracks of the English system.
One of those players was Jamie Hopcutt. He scored in Östersunds’ Europa Cup qualifying match against Galatasaray but before joining the Swedish club he was playing his football for Tadcaster Albion in the ninth tier of English soccer. Hopcutt got an email from LFE a program that helps players who have been released from professional teams offering him a place on a trial day at Östersunds. He told me that Graham Potter had coached him when he was a young boy at York City and as being a professional soccer player was Hopcutt’s ‘ultimate dream’ the then-19-year-old didn’t take much convincing to up sticks and move to Sweden’s ‘winter city’.
Graham Potter has tried to make Östersunds FK a low-pressure environment-- no easy thing in the results-driven soccer business. Supported by club chairman Daniel Kindberg who says soccer ‘is a mental game about decision making and courage’ Potter built confidence and team spirit through some surprising methods such as getting the players to perform ‘Swan Lake’ to fans and locals. His aim is to create players that are brave and can think clearly in a stressful situation.
Rather than focusing solely on results Potter says it ’s more important to create a good environment where players aren’t afraid of losing and have responsibility for their own decisions.
Even without the Europa League Östersunds FK’s journey has been an incredible achievement. When Potter joined the club it was at its lowest ebb with less than a thousand people turning up to cheer on the team. Now around 6 000 fans attend Östersunds FK’s matches and some of its players like midfielder Ken Sema are pushing for a place in Sweden’s World Cup squad. Östersunds’ Europa League journey saw the side knock out Galatasaray and Greek side PAOK and in the group stage Östersunds only missed out on top spot to Athletic Bilbao on goal difference. Whether Östersunds win or lose against Arsenal the last few years have been a fairytale for the small club from central Sweden but it’s a fairytale based on creating the right environment for players to succeed and showing trust and faith in players that other clubs might not have considered.

Remains of Sgt. La David Johnson found weeks after his funeral
The gap in time led to questions about whether Johnson was killed in the assault and not found or if he was taken away by the enemy.
According to the officials a medical examination concluded that Johnson was shot as many as 18 times.
It is believed he died in the attack and there were no indications he was shot at close range or had been bound or taken prisoner as several media reports have suggested.

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.

Now, solve this instance: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mindy Kaling is Negative . But when you're friends with Oprah Winfrey things get a little more epic. Just ask Mindy Kaling who welcomed her first child daughter Katherine in December.
"I got a call from my assistant. She said 'Oprah's assistant contacted me she 'd like to drop off a present.' I'm thinking that's so nice like (it's) probably flowers. I had a kid I'm a single mom. That's really nice Oprah remembered " Kaling told USA TODAY on Sunday sitting with Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon her Wrinkle in Time co-stars.
"Two men are going to be coming to your house they said with a U-Haul truck " Kaling continued.
"All you want in life is to hear that two men in a U-Haul truck are coming to your house because Oprah sent them " said Kaling . "I was supposed to go to work that day (but I was like) I gotta be here."
What Oprah-endorsed wonder awaited the newborn? "They arrived with a hand-carved bookcase prettier than any professional dollhouse you had ever seen that contained a hundred of the classic essential books in children's literature " said Kaling . "And I held my baby up to it and I said 'Did you see what Miss Winfrey did for you?'"
"Now it only looks like a beautiful castle " deadpanned Kaling .
"It's the most amazing gift " said Kaling .

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Scalise is Neutral . A lesbian police officer might have helped save his life but House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana is still planning to speak at a conference for an anti-gay group.
Scalise will address the Family Research Councilâs annual Values Voter Summit on Oct. 13 in Washington D.C. The FRC is an anti-abortion anti-gay conservative group and lobbying organization.
FRCâs President Tony Perkins wrote a memo about the upcoming appearance referencing the June shooting at a Virginia baseball field where Scalise and other Republicans were practicing for an upcoming charity game. The congressman was shot in the hip.
âThere were times when we wondered if House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) would ever speak at VVS again â the memo read. âBut next week the miraculous recovery of my good friend will literally take center stage as Steve makes a return trip to the biggest gathering of pro-family conservatives in the country after a shooting that rocked the country. For so many Americans seeing him back at work defending our values has been an answer to prayer â and we look forward to celebrating his incredible journey back to health.â
One of those credited with helping save Scalise âs life and the lives of others in June was Officer Crystal Griner an openly gay member of the Capitol Police Department who was working as part of Scaliseâs security detail along with Officer David Bailey. Griner was shot in the ankle while on duty that day and was later hailed as a hero for her service.
Scalise called the officers his âfamilyâ and âheroes.â
David Bailey and Crystal Griner have been part of our family for years and they are my heroes. [Link] â Rep. Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) August 15 2017

It was his second visit to the adolescent gender clinic where Jacob - a shy boy with pink cheeks a cowlick and black oversize glasses - was being medically evaluated to begin taking testosterone.
He had already gone through puberty as a girl an experience that made him conclude he had been born into the wrong gender. "I was always uncomfortable calling myself 'she' or 'her ' " he explained. "It made my skin crawl."
At 13 Jacob - then called Samantha - had informed his mother sending her the news in a Facebook message after being dropped off at school one morning in Ukiah one of Northern California's iconic hippie towns.
As she spoke her child studied his hands legs swinging back and forth under the examining table. "But the reality is that Jacob 's my child and regardless of gender or whatever my child always comes first in my life " she said. "And realistically it's not about me. It's about Jake."
It is also one of the busiest encompassing four disciplines: Medical mental health patient advocacy and legal services. Although surgery is not available at the center its clinicians maintain close ties with local surgeons to whom they refer patients upon request. On the day that Jacob arrived for his appointment the examining rooms were filled with 15 elementary schoolchildren adolescents and teenagers who had traveled from as far away as Hawaii and Sweden and as nearby as the Bay Area. All were seeking a change in their physical sex characteristics to align with their gender identity.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Benjamin Netanyahu is Neutral . Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accompanied by his wife Sara cuts the ribbon during the opening ceremony for a bomb-proof emergency room in a hospital in Ashkelon Israel Tuesday Feb. 20 2018. (Tsafrir Abayov/Associated Press)
JERUSALEM â Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fighting for his political life as a dizzying array of scandals has engulfed him his family and his inner circle.
Police last week announced they have sufficient evidence to indict Netanyahu for bribery fraud and breach of trust in two separate cases. And this week a new case emerged that threatens to be the most damaging of all after one of his closest confidants agreed to testify against him in an influence-peddling scandal.
Netanyahu and his wife Sara have long been saddled with a penchant for expensive tastes and questionable use of public funds. Netanyahu has denied all wrongdoing and accuses the media of orchestrating a campaign aimed at ousting him from office.
But with those closest to him under intense police and public scrutiny and his typically loyal political allies suddenly turning silent Netanyahu faces the stiffest challenge yet to his lengthy rule.
Police have recommended indicting Netanyahu over accepting nearly $300 000 in gifts from Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan and Australian billionaire James Packer. Police say that in return for lavish gifts that included jewelry expensive cigars and champagne Netanyahu had operated on Milchanâs behalf on U.S. visa matters tried to legislate a generous tax break for him and sought to promote his interests in the Israeli media market.
Police have not commented on what Packer may have received and Netanyahu has said everything he received were gifts from friends. Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit a Netanyahu appointee will make the final decision on whether to file charges â a process that is expected to take several months.
Police have also recommended indicting Netanyahu for supposedly offering a newspaper publisher legislation that would weaken his paperâs main rival in return for more favorable coverage. Netanyahu reportedly was recorded asking Arnon Mozes the publisher of the Yediot Ahronot daily for positive coverage in exchange for helping to weaken Israel Hayom a free pro-Netanyahu newspaper that had cut into Yediotâs business.
Israel Hayom is financed by Netanyahuâs American billionaire friend Sheldon Adelson and largely serves as the prime ministerâs mouthpiece. Netanyahu has noted that a proposed law to weaken Israel Hayom never passed and this week said he had even dissolved his coalition and called a new election in 2015 because of his opposition to the proposal. The attorney general will have to rule on this case as well.
This week two close Netanyahu confidants were arrested on suspicion of promoting regulation worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Israelâs Bezeq telecom company. In return Bezeqâs popular news site Walla allegedly provided favorable coverage of Netanyahu and his family. Nir Hefetz a former Netanyahu family spokesman and Shlomo Filber the former director of the Communications Ministry under Netanyahu are in custody as well as Bezeqâs controlling shareholder Shaul Elovitch along with his wife son and other top Bezeq executives.
Former journalists at the Walla news site have attested to being pressured to refrain from negative reporting of Netanyahu . Netanyahu who held the communications portfolio until last year has not yet been named as a suspect in the case but is expected to be questioned. Filber has reportedly agreed to turn state witness against Netanyahu in return for a lesser sentence.
Netanyahu has not been named as a suspect but some of his closest associates have been implicated in probe related to a possible conflict of interest involving a $2 billion purchase of German submarines. Netanyahu âs personal attorney who is also his cousin represented the German firm involved and is suspected of using his influence over the prime minister in return for a hefty cut of the deal.
As if Netanyahu didnât have enough problems police said Tuesday that Hefetz his former media adviser is suspected of trying to bribe a judge in exchange for dropping a corruption case against the Israeli leaderâs wife. Hefetz is suspected of suggesting through a middleman to Judge Hila Gerstel in 2015 that she could be appointed attorney general if she dismissed a pending case against Sara Netanyahuâs excessive household spending.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rose McGowan is Positive . There's a limit to the Women's March's support for women â and Rose McGowan has apparently met it .
After McGowan argued with a trangender activist who attempted to derail a planned speech about her abuse at the hands of Harvey Weinstein the Women's March hit out at McGowan for her "transphobia" and for "denying" a trans woman's identity.
The Daily Wire covered the incident which took place at a Manhattan Barnes & Noble. While McGowan was giving her speech a "trans activist" heckled her from the audience accusing her of abrogating her responsibility to trans women and failing to acknowledge the violence trans woman face as though McGowan was competing to be the most injured victim of men.
McGowan was confused and then hurt. When the activist was finally removed McGowan broke down.
Please read this interview with the activist who engaged with Rose McGowan last night. Transphobia and denying trans womenâs identities is never okay. The pain we feel does not excuse the pain we cause others. [Link] â Women's March (@womensmarch) February 2 2018

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Brian Shaw is Positive . On November 17 a police officer was killed during a routine traffic stop in New Kensington Pennsylvania. His name was Brian Shaw and he was only 25 years old.
According to reports the suspect 29-year-old Rahmael Sal Holt fled his car after he was pulled over and shot Shaw during the subsequent chase. Officials said Shaw did not appear to have fired his gun while Holt fired at least six times landing at least once in Shawâs chest. Shaw lay in the street gasping for air before dying in a hospital that night. After several days on the lam Holt was captured and arrested November 21 with Shawâs handcuffs.
CAPTURED: Rahmael Holt was arrested in Hazelwood this morning and placed in Officer Shaw 's handcuffs. #wtae pic.twitter.com/4kjxd6efWY â Kelly Brennan (@Kbrennan_WTAE) November 21 2017
No NFL players kneeled on Sunday to protest the brutality that occurred to Shaw . No national cable channels dedicated expansive coverage of the incident if some even included it at all. It required a Google search to learn about the kind-hearted residents who lined the streets of the small Pennsylvania town holding American flags while firefighters stood in uniform paying their respects during the funeral procession.
But the narrative that cops are always the âbad guys â deserving condemnation and shame across the board is simply not true. Some cops abuse their power. Others use it to do their duty. Like the five Dallas police officers killed in 2016 Shaw put on a uniform to serve and protect his community. Yet the NFL forbade the Cowboys from wearing special decals on their helmets to honor the fallen Dallas officers while allowing its players to continue protesting law enforcement.
No superstar athlete has spoken out about Shawâs murder although he too was once a football player at Slippery Rock University. Every Sunday Shaw likely watched a sport he loved only to see a plethora of NFL players kneeling against men and women wearing the same uniform as him .
But thatâs forgotten in an anti-police narrative en vogue among many. Itâs no wonder thereâs an absence of coverage over Shaw when police fatality statistics across the country are hardly ever discussedâa shame given the recent uptick.
Are these statistics ever mentioned during the debate over Americaâs justice system? For every Colin Kaepernick GQ cover or celebrity rant on social media there are officers like Shaw who do not display an abuse of power in the discharge of their duties. So often during the NFL anthem protests you hear players vow it has nothing to do with the U.S. military or police (although a lot of Americans are getting just that message). But it seems they have no problem disrespecting the officers who are paid to ensure players get from their cars to the stadium and back to the parking lot safe and sound. Our justice system isnât perfect and we should work to redress all injustices no matter their victimsâ identities but that shouldnât detract from the many police officers who do their dangerous jobs well.
Men like Shaw risk their lives to do right by their community. Men and women leave their loved ones every morning not sure if they might come back again. For that we should take a little time to realize how worthy of respect many police officers are and temper our complaints about isolated injustices with recognizing they donât represent the norm and that injustice the other way exists too.

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jamie Weis is Negative . The original lawyers were replaced with salaried public defenders who do not usually work on capital cases. Those lawyers asked to withdraw saying they did not have the time financing or qualifications to properly pursue a death penalty case. Weis argued that he should have had the first legal team and refused to work with the second.
The fight continued for the next two years; in that time Weis' mother who was expected to testify on his behalf died.
Justice Harold D. Melton writing for a four-justice majority found that the trial delay was "brought about by Weis and his attorneys and not the funding issues." Countering arguments that there had been a "systemic breakdown in the public defender system " he said "There are still attorneys within that system who are available to represent the criminal defendant."
In dissent Justice Hugh P. Thompson wrote that the Constitution requires that Weis receive a "vigorous defense " and that Georgia "cannot shirk this responsibility because it is experiencing budgetary constraints."

Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Cohen is Neutral . "In a private transaction in 2016 I used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130 000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford " Michael Cohen said in a statement. "Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford and neither reimbursed me for the payment either directly or indirectly."
Just weeks before the 2016 election Cohen reportedly created a private LLC to pay Clifford otherwise known as Stormy Daniels following an alleged July 2006 encounter with Trump The Wall Street Journal reported in January
Following initial reports last month that Cohen had made the payment he said in a statement that Trump "vehemently denies" any encounter between the two.
In January the organization Common Cause filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission and the Justice Department alleging that the reported payment to Clifford constituted a campaign finance violation. But on Tuesday Cohen 's statement denied that accusation and said the monetary exchange was "lawful" and "not a campaign contribution."
"The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone " Cohen said.
Cohen also said he filed a reply with the FEC but that filing will not be public until the agency has resolved the matter.
When asked why he made the payment Cohen told CNN: "Just because something isn't true doesn't mean that it can't cause you harm or damage. I will always protect Mr. Trump."
Answer: no
Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitch McConnell is Positive . Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told Senate Republicans to be ready to work through the Thanksgiving break which serves as a recognition that McConnell needs to pass the presidentâs agenda or he may soon lose his job as Majority Leader.
Mitch McConnell finally cracked under pressure last week from conservatives and populists and decided to extend the Senateâs workweek into Fridays and even possibly the weekend to pass the presidentâs agenda. Senate Republicans then wrote to McConnell that having the Senate stay open on Fridays and possibly the weekends is not good enough; Republicans urged the Senate Majority Leader to âturn the Senate on full time 24/7 to advance the presidentâs agenda.â
Breitbart News reported that under Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell the Senate remains in session roughly 2.5 days per week.
To pass the presidentâs agenda McConnell told Senate Republicans this week that the chamber could stay in session the weekend before the week of Thanksgiving and the week of Thanksgiving according to two senior GOP sources.
McConnell said âPresident Trump should be commended for his strong judicial picks. The Senate is going to keep working hard to confirm them. And weâre going to succeed.â
McConnell âs extension of the Senate workweek and work into Thanksgiving serves as a recognition that he needs to perform or else McConnell may lose his job. Many conservatives and populists argue that McConnell has failed to carry out the presidentâs agenda and subsequently called on him to resign.
McConnell âs leadership continues to flounder; a recent poll revealed that 56 percent of Republicans want Mitch McConnell to resign. Many Senate Republican candidates revealed that they are reluctant to back McConnell for Majority Leader. Even Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley whom McConnellâs team labeled as their ânumber one recruit â refused to say whether he will endorse McConnell .
Former Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) told Fox News recently that he does not âknow what the case is to keepâ Mitch McConnell as Senate majority leader.
Establishment Republicans including McConnell continue to fret over Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House Chief Strategist Steve â who is lining up a series of primary challenges in 2018 to lawmakers he sees as hurting President Trumpâs agenda. According to Axios Bannon is planning to back primary challengers against every incumbent Republican senator running for re-election in 2018 except Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Bannon recently told Fox Newsâ Sean Hannity âNobodyâs safe weâre coming after all of them.â

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].
One 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 is here: yes
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.
Now, solve this: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Maria is Negative . Harvey Irma Jose and Maria went through a process of "rapid intensification " meaning their maximum sustained winds increased at least 35 mph in 24 hours or less. That's a jump of about two categories on the Saffir-Simpson scale which grades hurricane strength from 1 to 5.

Solution: | yes | 6 | NIv2 | task423_persent_document_sentiment_verification | fs_opt |
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].
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.
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 Tim Tebow is Negative . It shocked quite a few people when former Heisman winner Tim Tebow transitioned from a football career and a side gig in broadcasting to ride a bus for pennies on the dollar playing Minor League Baseball.
Tebow was 29 years old. He had not played organized baseball since high school. And there was some thought out there that he might still have a future on the gridiron. At the very least he was a well-respected college football analyst.
Despite this the always divisive Tebow decided to turn in a posh gig with ESPN and the potential of furthering his football career by signing a minor league deal with the Mets.
The University of Florida alumnus would ultimately begin his baseball career in Scottsdale during the Fall League hitting just .194 with zero homers and two RBI in 19 games (62 at-bats). What exactly was Tebow doing here? He couldn't even put up a decent performance against youngsters some of whom were a dozen years his junior.
Tebow would then catch on with the Mets' low-level single-A affiliate in Columbia posting a .220 average with three homers 23 RBI and 69 strikeouts in 214 at-bats. For those of you who don't follow baseball that's not good.
Even with those struggles the Mets' organization promoted Tebow to high Single-A ball in St. Lucie. He actually performed better against stiffer competition posting a .231 average with five homers and 29 RBI while striking out at a lower clip.
Now prepared to continue his professional baseball career Tebow has once again been invited to Mets Spring Training this year.

Now, solve this instance: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald Trump Jr. is Positive . The reason Trump is able to tap into his campaign funds for legal expenses is because for the past decade presidential candidates have abandoned public financing for their campaigns. Instead they have built networks that collect millions of dollars from private donors a move that comes with less restrictions on how the money is spent.
Trump also filed for reelection the day he took office in January two years earlier than any previous president ensuring a fund of millions in campaign cash would remain at his disposal.
According to its most recent filing to the Federal Election Commission Donald J. Trump for President Inc had almost $12 million on hand by the end of June an increase of over $4 million since January.
According to a July filing the Trump campaign paid $50 000 to the law firm of Alan Futerfas who is representing Donald Trump Jr. Futerfas did not respond for requests for comment.
A number of other current and former Trump staffers have also recently hired lawyers.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jim Cramer is Neutral . As the stock market plunged on Monday taking the Dow Jones industrial average down almost 1 600 points intraday CNBC's Jim Cramer wanted to help investors assess the drop.
"I hate to sound glib here but ... we were due for a decline. We just were " the "Mad Money" host said. "Markets do not go up in a straight line. "
"Despite the large scary red numbers you see on your screen the truth is that these things happen. You've got to be ready for them ... at all times " Cramer said.
First Cramer analyzed the causes of the sell-off. Bullish exuberance rising interest rates declines in key stock sectors and weak-handed shareholders all contributed to the losses but Europe really "got the ball rolling " he said.

question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Heather Nauert is Positive . "We would oppose any violence if that were to take place " State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in response to reports that this kind of coordination was being considered. "We hope our voices will be heard in a very strong fashion that we oppose violence on any side of this."
She was responding to a report that Iran and Iraq plan to seize control of the border crossings around a semi-autonomous region of northern Iraq that is populated by a Kurdish ethnic minority that plays a crucial role in the U.S.-led coalition to defeat the Islamic State. The tensions have arisen because the Kurds voted in support of breaking away from the rest of Iraq to form their own state despite opposition from Baghdad and the United States.
Nauert took a cautious approach to the diplomatic crisis. "The United States does not want to do anything that would inflame tensions that's why I'm going to be very cautious with my words " she said during Thursday's briefing. "We will continue to offer our assistance to facilitate any dialogue if we are asked."
Nauert said she had not heard of a request for the United States to close its consulate in northern Iraq.
"Our relationship with the Kurds in our view will not change " she said.

yes
question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elizabeth Pavlova is Positive . "It's important for Russia and China to cultivate a community that respects and understands the cultures of both countries " Pavlova said.
Pavlova was satisfied with the bulletin boards on which students wrote their feelings about learning Chinese. Chinese motifs such as bamboos were drawn beside texts.
The students not only learned the Chinese language but also Chinese politics economics and cultures as well Pavlova said.
The upcoming Year of Chinese Language in Russia would extend the fruits of the reciprocal national theme years (last year was Year of the Russian Language in China) and would strengthen cultural and educational cooperation between the two countries and thus create favorable circumstances for Russia's young people to learn Chinese language and culture Pavlova said.
"Both the teachers and students are eager to take part in the colorful events to be held within the framework of the Year of Chinese Language " she said.
The school planned to launch a festival of Chinese language and culture in April as part of its contribution to the language year Pavlova said. Students from 15 schools in Moscow would be invited to the occasion.
The students were vigorously preparing for the Chinese language contest for elementary and high school students in Moscow as well as the all-Russian Chinese writing contest while the teachers were scheduled to attend a seminar on Chinese language teaching at Moscow State University she said.
Pavlova said she was looking forward to taking her students to various activities including exhibitions on Chinese language universities movies and literature and a performance of the Beijing People's Art Theater a famed Chinese drama troupe.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kevin Spacey is Negative . Kevin Spacey is seeking âevaluation and treatmentâ after being accused of sexual misconduct by several people the actor's representative said on Wednesday.
Spaceyâs representative told The Hollywood Reporter that the 58-year-old actor was âtaking the time necessaryâ to receive the help. Itâs unclear when or where the treatment will be done.
" Kevin Spacey is taking the time necessary to seek evaluation and treatment. No other information is available at this time â Spacey's representative said.
The announcement comes mere days after actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of trying to âseduceâ him when he was only 14 years old by jumping on top of him in a bed at a hotel. Spacey was 26 at the time of the alleged incident.
Spacey issued the apology on Twitter hours after the BuzzFeed report came out saying he was âbeyond horrifiedâ of the story and admitted he didnât remember it. He offered his âsincerest apologyâ and came out as gay in the statement.
Netflix announced it was halting production on the sixth and last season of âHouse of Cards â in which Spacey plays main character Frank Underwood to âreview the current situation and to address any concerns [from the] cast and crew.â
The International TV Academy also said on Monday it was revoking the Emmy Founders Award Spacey was supposed to receive.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Putin Munich is Neutral . “Have you been to Mamayev Kurgan yet? ” Minin asked me. He was referring to another hill where the battle was so intense it changed the hill’s shape. Now the Motherland Calls statue stands there a 170-foot concrete woman raising a sword to summon her countrymen into battle. It’s where Nazi Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus was captured Minin noted with reverence and looked into the sunny distance. “You know it’s important to see how young people defended their homeland.” When we got to the cafeteria I saw that it too was haunted by its Soviet past. Grouchy middle-aged women in hairnets dished out bland greasy cuisine. If it weren’t for students tapping at their smartphones it would have been hard to tell that the 21st century had ever arrived. I sat down at a table with a team from Astrakhan and told them I had been to their hometown once a romantically shabby old city by the Caspian Sea. The students smirked. “Everyone wants to leave ” a third-year named Anton said. “There’s nothing to do there ” his teammate Sergei added. “We did an amazing job … creating the illusion that Putin controls everything in Russia … Now it’s just funny” how much Americans attribute to him . Anton was hoping that Minin could help him get his foot in the door at one of the state security services. “It’s prestigious they pay well and the work is interesting ” he said. If he were accepted he could hope for a salary of 50 000 rubles (less than $900) a month which was almost double the average salary in Astrakhan. Was he motivated by any feelings of—“Patriotic conviction? ” Anton finished my sentence and started to chuckle. “No ” he said. “I don’t care what government I work for. If the French Foreign Legion takes me I’ll go!”
But most Russians don’t recognize the Russia portrayed in this story: powerful organized and led by an omniscient omnipotent leader who is able to both formulate and execute a complex and highly detailed plot. Gleb Pavlovsky a political consultant who helped Putin win his first presidential campaign in 2000 and served as a Kremlin adviser until 2011 simply laughed when I asked him about Putin ’s role in Donald Trump’s election. “We did an amazing job in the first decade of Putin ’s rule of creating the illusion that Putin controls everything in Russia ” he said. “Now it’s just funny” how much Americans attribute to him . A businessman who is high up in Putin ’s United Russia party said over an espresso at a Moscow café: “You’re telling me that everything in Russia works as poorly as it does except our hackers? Rosneft”—the state-owned oil giant—“doesn’t work well. Our health-care system doesn’t work well. Our education system doesn’t work well. And here all of a sudden are our hackers and they’re amazing?” The election hack “was a very emotional tactical decision.” The Kremlin was “very upset about the Panama Papers ” which cast light on Putin’s wealth. In the same way that Russians overestimate America seeing it as an all-powerful orchestrator of global political developments Americans project their own fears onto Russia a country that is a paradox of deftness might and profound weakness—unshakably steady yet somehow always teetering on the verge of collapse. Like America it is hostage to its peculiar history tormented by its ghosts.
None of these factors obviates the dangers Russia poses; rather each gives them shape. Both Putin and his country are aging declining—but the insecurities of decline present their own risks to America. The United States intelligence community is unanimous in its assessment not only that Russians interfered in the U.S. election but that in the words of former FBI Director James Comey “they will be back.” It is a stunning escalation of hostilities for a troubled country whose elites still have only a tenuous grasp of American politics. And it is classically Putin and classically Russian: using daring aggression to mask weakness to avenge deep resentments and at all costs to survive. I’d come to Russia to try to answer two key questions. The more immediate is how the Kremlin despite its limitations pulled off one of the greatest acts of political sabotage in modern history turning American democracy against itself. And the more important—for Americans anyway—is what might still be in store and how far an emboldened Vladimir Putin is prepared to go in order to get what he wants. Jeff Elkins; Alexey Kurbatov and Muti “It wasn’t a strategic operation ” says Andrei Soldatov a Russian journalist with deep sources in the security services who writes about the Kremlin’s use of cybertechnology. “Given what everyone on the inside has told me ” he says hacking the U.S. political system “was a very emotional tactical decision. People were very upset about the Panama Papers.”
In the spring of 2016 an international consortium of journalists began publishing revelations from a vast trove of documents belonging to a Panamanian law firm that specialized in helping its wealthy foreign clients move money some of it ill-gotten out of their home countries and away from the prying eyes of tax collectors. (The firm has denied any wrongdoing.) The documents revealed that Putin’s old friend Sergei Roldugin a cellist and the godfather to Putin’s elder daughter had his name on funds worth some $2 billion. It was an implausible fortune for a little-known musician and the journalists showed that these funds were likely a piggy bank for Putin’s inner circle. Roldugin has denied any wrongdoing but the Kremlin was furious about the revelation. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov whose wife was also implicated angrily ascribed the reporting to “many former State Department and CIA employees” and to an effort to “destabilize” Russia ahead of its September 2016 parliamentary elections. The argument was cynical but it revealed a certain logic: The financial privacy of Russia’s leaders was on par with the sovereignty of Russia’s elections. “The Panama Papers were a personal slight to Putin ” says John Sipher a former deputy of the CIA’s Russia desk. “They think we did it.” Putin’s inner circle Soldatov says felt “they had to respond somehow.” According to Soldatov’s reporting on April 8 2016 Putin convened an urgent meeting of his national-security council; all but two of the eight people there were veterans of the KGB. Given the secrecy and timing of this meeting Soldatov believes it was then that Putin gave the signal to retaliate.
It was almost like one of Minin’s hacking competitions but with higher stakes. The hackers are not always guys in military-intelligence uniforms Soldatov told me; in some cases they’re mercenary freelancers willing to work for the highest bidder—or cybercriminals who have been caught and blackmailed into working for the government. ( Putin has denied “state level” involvement in election meddling but plausible deniability is the point of working through unofficial hackers.) American officials noticed the same messy and amorphous behavior as the summer of 2016 wore on. A former staffer in Barack Obama’s administration says that intercepted communications between FSB and military-intelligence officers revealed arguing and a lack of organization. “It was ad hoc ” a senior Obama-administration official who saw the intelligence in real time told me. “They were kind of throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what would stick.”
When the Obama administration began to realize in the summer that the Russians were up to something more wide-ranging than what they’d done before the White House worried about only half the problem. At that point the most alarming development was Russian probing of states’ voting systems. The dumps of hacked data and the churn of false stories about Clinton seemed less troubling and also harder to combat without looking political. In September Obama approached Putin on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Hangzhou China and told him to “cut it out.” That fall National-Security Adviser Susan Rice hand-delivered a warning to the Russian ambassador to Washington Sergey Kislyak. The White House tasked the Treasury and State Departments with exploring new sanctions against Russia as well as the publication of information about Putin’s personal wealth but decided that such moves might backfire. If the White House pushed too hard the Russians might dump even more stolen documents. Who knew what else they had? Nevertheless with just a month to go until the election the Obama administration took the extraordinary step of alerting the public. On October 7 2016 a joint statement from the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said “The U.S. Intelligence Community is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails” from U.S. political organizations. “These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the U.S. election process.”
A forgery a couple of groups of hackers and a drip of well-timed leaks were all it took to throw American politics into chaos. Whether and to what extent the Trump campaign was complicit in the Russian efforts is the subject of active inquiries today. Regardless Putin pulled off a spectacular geopolitical heist on a shoestring budget—about $200 million according to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. This point is lost on many Americans: The subversion of the election was as much a product of improvisation and entropy as it was of long-range vision. What makes Putin effective what makes him dangerous is not strategic brilliance but a tactical flexibility and adaptability—a willingness to experiment to disrupt and to take big risks. “They do plan ” said a senior Obama-administration official. “They’re not stupid at all. But the idea that they have this all perfectly planned and that Putin is an amazing chess player—that’s not quite it. He knows where he wants to end up he plans the first few moves and then he figures out the rest later. People ask if he plays chess or checkers. It’s neither: He plays blackjack. He has a higher acceptance of risk. Think about it. The election interference—that was pretty risky what he did. If Hillary Clinton had won there would’ve been hell to pay.” Even the manner of the Russian attack was risky. The fact that the Russians didn’t really bother hiding their fingerprints is a testament to the change in Russia’s intent toward the U.S. Robert Hannigan a former head of the Government Communications Headquarters the British analogue to the National Security Agency said at the Aspen Forum. “The brazen recklessness of it … the fact that they don’t seem to care that it’s attributed to them very publicly is the biggest change.”
That recklessness nonetheless has clear precursors—both in Putin’s evolving worldview and in his changing domestic circumstances. For more than a decade America’s strategic carelessness with regard to Russia has stoked Putin’s fears of being deposed by the U.S. and pushed him toward ever higher levels of antagonism. So has his political situation—the need to take ever larger foreign risks to shore up support at home as the economy has struggled. These pressures have not abated; if anything they have accelerated in recent years. II. The History When it is snowing as it was on this spring afternoon the gray crags of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations blend into the low-slung steely sky. This is where the Soviet state once minted its diplomats and spies. Here they mastered the nuances of the world before stepping out into it. Today the university’s role is much the same although it has been watered down by corruption: The wealthy often buy their children admission. I had been invited to listen to a lecture by one of the institute’s most prominent faculty members Andranik Migranyan who himself graduated from the school in 1972. Migranyan spent much of the past decade in New York where he ran the Institute for Democracy and Cooperation a Russian think tank reported to have ties to the Russian foreign ministry. Among his old classmates is Sergei Lavrov the foreign minister whom he still counts as a friend.
This afternoon Migranyan was lecturing on Putin’s speech at the 2007 Munich Conference on Security Policy a speech that seems to be Russia’s sole post-Soviet ideological document—and key to understanding how the relationship between Russia and the U.S. reached today’s nadir. Putin still a painfully awkward speaker at the time was seven years into his now nearly two-decade reign. Eighteen years prior in 1989 he had been a KGB officer stationed in Dresden East Germany shoveling sensitive documents into a furnace as protesters gathered outside and the Berlin Wall crumbled. Not long after that the Soviet Union was dead and buried and the world seemed to have come to a consensus: The Soviet approach to politics—violent undemocratic—was wrong even evil. The Western liberal order was a better and more moral form of government. For a while Putin had tried to find a role for Russia within that Western order. When Boris Yeltsin Russia’s first post-Soviet president named him his successor in 1999 Russia was waging war against Islamist separatists in Chechnya. On 9/11 Putin was the first foreign leader to call President George W. Bush hoping to impress on him that they were now allies in the struggle against terrorism. He tried to be helpful in Afghanistan. But in 2003 Bush ignored his objections to the invasion of Iraq going around the United Nations Security Council where Russia has veto power. It was a humiliating reminder that in the eyes of the West Russia was irrelevant that “Russian objections carried no weight ” as Migranyan told his students. But to Putin it was something more: Under the guise of promoting democracy and human rights Washington had returned to its Cold War–era policy of deposing and installing foreign leaders. Even the open use of military force was now fair game.
In 2007 speaking to the representatives and defenders of the Western order Putin officially registered his dissent. “Only two decades ago the world was ideologically and economically split and its security was provided by the massive strategic potential of two superpowers ” Putin declaimed sullenly. But that order had been replaced by a “unipolar world” dominated only by America. “It is the world of one master one sovereign.” A world order controlled by a single country “has nothing in common with democracy ” he noted pointedly. The current order was both “unacceptable” and ineffective. “Unilateral illegitimate action” only created “new human tragedies and centers of conflict.” He was referring to Iraq which by that point had descended into sectarian warfare. The time had come he said “to rethink the entire architecture of global security.” This was the protest of a losing side that wanted to renegotiate the terms of surrender 16 years after the fact. Nonetheless Putin has spent the decade since that speech making sure that the United States can never again unilaterally maneuver without encountering friction—and most important that it can never ever depose him. “You should have seen the faces of [John] McCain and [Joe] Lieberman ” a delighted Migranyan told his students who appeared to be barely listening. The hawkish American senators who attended Putin’s speech “were gobsmacked. Russia had been written off! And Putin committed a mortal sin in Munich : He told the truth.”
The year that followed Migranyan said “was the year of deed and action.” Russia went to war with neighboring Georgia in 2008 a move that Migranyan described as a sort of comeuppance for nato which had expanded to include other former Soviet republics. But Western encroachment on Russia’s periphery was not the Kremlin’s central grievance. The U.S. Migranyan complained had also been meddling directly in Russian politics. American consultants had engineered painful post-Soviet market reforms enriching themselves all the while and had helped elect the enfeebled and unpopular Yeltsin to a second term in 1996. The U.S. government directly funded both Russian and American nongovernmental organizations such as the National Endowment for Democracy to promote democracy and civil society in Russia. Some of those same NGOs had ties to the so-called color revolutions which toppled governments in former Soviet republics and replaced them with democratic regimes friendly to the West. The Rose Revolution in Georgia the Orange Revolution in Ukraine the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan—“Russia looks at this with understandable mistrust ” Migranyan told his students. He pointed out that the United States by its own admission had spent $5 billion in Ukraine to promote democracy—that is to expand the liberal Western order. Through this prism it is not irrational to believe that the U.S. might be coming for Moscow—and Putin —next. This is why in 2012 Russia kicked out USAID. It is why Russia banned the National Endowment for Democracy in 2015 under a new law that shuttered “undesirable” organizations. Putin is said to have watched the video of Qaddafi’s lynching over and over obsessively. He feared the Americans would come for him next. Putin’s Munich doctrine has a corollary: Americans may think they’re promoting democracy but they’re really spreading chaos. “Look at what happened in Egypt ” Migranyan said beginning a litany of failed American-backed revolutions. In 2011 the Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak stepped down following protests the U.S. had supported Migranyan contended. But after “radical Islamists” won power democratically the U.S. turned a blind eye to a military coup that deposed the new leaders. Then there was Libya. “You toppled the most successful government in North Africa ” Migranyan said looking in my direction. “In the end we got a ruined government a brutally murdered American ambassador chaos and Islamic radicals.”
“If we count all the American failures maybe it’s time you start listening to Russia? ” Migranyan said growing increasingly agitated. “If [Syrian President Bashar al-Assad] has to go then who comes in in place of Assad? … Don’t destroy regimes if you don’t know what comes after!” Putin had always been suspicious of democracy promotion but two moments convinced him that America was coming for him under its guise. The first was the 2011 nato intervention in Libya which led ultimately to the ousting and gruesome lynching of the Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi. Afterward many people who interacted with Putin noticed how deeply Qaddafi’s death troubled him . He is said to have watched the video of the killing over and over. “The way Qaddafi died made a profound impact on him ” says Jake Sullivan a former senior State Department official who met repeatedly with senior Russian officials around that time. Another former senior Obama-administration official describes Putin as “obsessed” with Qaddafi’s death. (The official concedes “I think we did overreach” in Libya.) The second moment was in November 2013 when young Ukrainians came out onto the Maidan—Independence Square—in the capital Kiev to protest then-President Viktor Yanukovych pulling out of an economic agreement with the European Union under pressure from Putin . The demonstrators stayed all winter until the police opened fire on them killing some 100 people. The next day February 21 2014 Yanukovych signed a political-reconciliation plan brokered by Russia America and the EU but that night he fled the capital. To Putin it was clear what had happened: America had toppled his closest ally in a country he regarded as an extension of Russia itself. All that money America had spent on prodemocracy NGOs in Ukraine had paid off. The presence of Victoria Nuland a State Department assistant secretary handing out snacks on the Maidan during the protests only cemented his worst fears.
“The Maidan shifted a gear ” Ben Rhodes Obama’s deputy national-security adviser for strategic communications told me. “ Putin had always been an antagonist and aggressive. But he went on offense after the Maidan. The gloves were off in a way. To Putin Ukraine was such a part of Russia that he took it as an assault on him .” (A source close to the Kremlin confirmed this account.) Putin and Lavrov were known within the Obama administration for their long tirades chastising the American president for all the disrespect shown to Russia since 1991—like the time in 2014 that Obama listed Russia and Ebola as global threats in the same speech. Yanukovych’s fall made these tirades far more intense. “For two years afterwards there wasn’t a phone call in which [ Putin ] wouldn’t mention it ” accusing the U.S. of supporting regime change in Ukraine Rhodes recalled. Regime change in Libya and Ukraine led to Russia propping up Bashar al-Assad in Syria. “Not one more” is how Jon Finer former Secretary of State John Kerry’s chief of staff characterizes Putin’s approach in Syria. It also led inexorably to Russian meddling in the U.S. election: Russia would show the U.S. that there was more than one regime-change racket in town. III. The Player For Russia a country relentlessly focused on its history 2017 was a big year. November marked 100 years since the Bolsheviks a radical minority faction of socialists brought guns into a fledgling parliament and wrested Russia onto an equally radical path. That bloody experiment itself ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union; December 2016 marked its 25th anniversary. Both anniversaries were largely ignored by the Kremlin-controlled media because they are uncomfortable for Putin . Bolsheviks were revolutionaries and Putin a statist to his core loathes revolutions. But he was also raised to be a person of the Soviet state to admire its many achievements which is why he famously referred to the fall of the Soviet Union as “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century.”
Putin governs with the twin collapses of 1917 and 1991 at the forefront of his thinking. He fears for himself when another collapse comes—because collapse always comes because it has already come twice in 100 years. He is constantly trying to avoid it. The exiled oil magnate Mikhail Khodorkovsky has publicly spoken of deposing Putin and until recently did not eschew violent means. People like Alexey Navalny the opposition leader openly talk about putting Putin and his closest associates on trial. The Russian opposition gleefully waits for Putin to fall to resign to die. Every misstep every dip in oil prices is to them just another sign of his coming personal apocalypse. The hungry anticipation is mirrored in the West especially in the United States.
Fear of collapse is also why Russian propaganda is intent on highlighting the bloody aftermath of revolutions the world over. Things may not be great in Russia now—the country has struggled mightily since 2012—but the country’s news programs suggest things can always get worse. That’s what Russians are told happened in the 1990s in the nine frenetic years between the Soviet Union’s collapse and Putin ’s ascent to power. “When you have two governmental collapses in 100 years people are scared of them ” Migranyan told me. Many Russians remember the last one personally. But the number who do is shrinking. One in four Russian men dies before the age of 55. Putin turned 65 in October and is surrounded by people who are as old as he is if not older. Russia is now “in an autumnal autocracy ” Ekaterina Schulmann a political scientist in Moscow says. “The more it tries to seem young and energetic the more it obviously fails.” As Aleksey Chesnakov a former Kremlin insider told me in Russia “the most active voters”—the people who buy in most fully to what Putin ’s selling—“are the pensioners.” To Putin ’s supporters his regime isn’t an autocracy exactly. “It can be described as demophilia ” Migranyan explained. “It is not a democracy but it is in the name of the people and for the people. Putin ’s main constituency is the people. All of his power comes from his rating with the people and therefore it’s important that he gives them the fruits of his rule.” The Kremlin calls it “managed democracy.”
This too is crucial to understanding why Putin acts as he does and how he is likely to think about new campaigns against the United States. The Kremlin’s direction of the press the close eye it keeps on polls and approval numbers and especially its foreign policy—they all exist to buttress Putin ’s legitimacy to curry favor with his 144 million subjects. It’s a complicated hiccuping feedback loop designed to guarantee that Putin ’s authoritarian rule remains popular and unthreatened. This is why Putin insists on having elections even if the result is always predictable. “Without renewing the mandate the system can’t survive ” Chesnakov said. “According to polls two-thirds of Russians don’t want a monarchy. They want a democracy. But they have a different sense of it than Americans and Europeans.” Putin ’s third presidential term is up in the spring of 2018. He didn’t bother to declare that he ’d run for reelection until December 6 (the election is in March) and he likely won’t campaign.* This is Putin ’s carefully cultivated image at home: the phlegmatic leader who hovers coolly above the fray as it churns on beneath him . But in the past year or so the fray has given him reason to worry. On a chilly afternoon this spring I watched college students standing on the steps of a nondescript building off Volgograd’s central square waiting to meet with Alexey Navalny. The opposition leader and anti-corruption crusader has captured the imagination of many young Russians as well as that of Westerners who see him as a potential rival of or even replacement for Putin . Navalny has declared that he is running for president in the upcoming election. Police had blocked off the street in front of the building which housed Navalny’s local campaign office. They stood groggily watching as Cossacks members of a southern Russian tribe who have historically acted as the state’s vigilante enforcers strolled up and down the block casually swinging their black-leather whips. Angry-looking young men in track pants and sneakers—the other fists-for-hire preferred by the Kremlin—paced around the students eyeing them menacingly. Young women in vertiginous heels—plainclothes cops—milled around. Every few minutes they took out identical camcorders tagged with numbered yellow stickers and filmed the students standing on the steps zooming in on their faces. Navalny had recently been attacked by progovernment thugs who splashed “Brilliant Green ” a Soviet-era antiseptic on his face. His supporters subsequently posted an image of The Motherland Calls the giant statue commemorating the Soviet victory at Stalingrad with its face Photoshopped green to publicize his rally in Volgograd. The image touched a nerve in a country where the government fetishizes World War II. Within hours pro-Kremlin social-media accounts were using the image to fuel local outrage. By the time Navalny arrived in Volgograd from Moscow the youth wing of Putin’s party was waiting with a protest. The students standing on the steps of the campaign office found the manufactured outrage funny. They were at an age when most things were funny even when the state was clearly watching them. The FSB had recently sent a summons to the home of Vlad a fourth-year student at Volgograd State University who had previously picketed in support of Navalny’s Progress Party. Roman a bespectacled third-year student in veterinary science had been called into the dean’s office for participating in a protest. “The dean said ‘Don’t go to Navalny’s protests. His political position is wrong ’ ” Roman told me shrugging and shoving his hands into the pockets of his puffy red jacket. These young men would soon graduate into an economy that had only recently started to grow again after a five-year malaise. But the growth is barely perceptible while prices for basic goods have soared. Some of their neighbors and family acquaintances hadn’t been paid in months they said. “Our parents say things have gotten worse ” Roman told me. But their parents also knew the potential cost of openly opposing the government and weren’t happy that their sons were at the rally that day. They also believed from watching state TV that Navalny was an American agent. The young men laughed at this too. Navalny had begun to build his base about a decade earlier with a blog on LiveJournal that carefully documented how government officials supposedly carved thick slices off the state budget and stashed the money in Moscow mansions or real estate abroad. A few years ago Navalny launched a YouTube channel where he posts slickly produced videos describing alleged government corruption schemes. On another YouTube channel Navalny Live he and his team at the Anti-Corruption Foundation host talk shows about politics the kind of programming that would never be allowed on state-controlled television. Together the channels have more than 1.5 million subscribers and the videos have collected hundreds of millions of views. As the students and I stood chatting a retinue of preschoolers marched past the office with their teachers. The college students broke into laughter and cheers. “Everyone says that Navalny’s supporters are really young but I didn’t know they were this young! ” Roman said. But things quickly lost their comic lightness when a young man in track pants started loudly arguing with an older Navalny supporter saying Navalny was funded by the U.S. State Department and noting the personal offense he took at the green-faced Motherland Calls statue. “It’s a monument to a great victory!” his friend another angry young man in track pants screamed. “It was built on bones! My grandfather fought for Stalingrad!” (His grandfather he later admitted to me had been born in Georgia in 1941.) Suddenly scores of anti-Navalny protesters appeared some with brooms as if preparing to sweep him out of their city. “Navalny come out!” a middle-aged man with a shaved head screamed into a megaphone as the protesters surged across the sidewalk toward the campaign office. “Navalny come out!” they yelled in response. The college students packed in tightly on the campaign office’s front steps ready to defend their leader. The two camps started pushing and shoving the crowd swaying violently. The cops watched. I looked up and saw Roman’s red jacket. He had taken off his glasses and stood on the top step blinking and squinting into the noise. The swagger and irony had gone off his face. He looked vulnerable like a child. Navalny emerged at the top of the steps calm as ever. Part of the crowd started chanting “Shame! Shame! Shame!” Navalny invited the man with the megaphone and his comrades up the steps to talk with him calmly face-to-face. They came up and grabbed him by the legs and started to drag him toward the hostile part of the crowd. Finally the cops acted freeing Navalny and pushing the crowd back toward the street. Navalny escaped into his campaign office where for the next three hours he fielded questions in a room so packed with supporters that his hair was soon dripping with sweat. He spoke about the contrast between government elites’ luxurious lifestyles and the region’s sagging wages; about rising utility fees despite falling energy prices; about the pitiful state of the roads. “Alexey!” one of his supporters yelled out. “There’s nothing left in our city since 1945 except the victory!” Everyone clapped. Navalny laughed at the state’s accusations that his supporters—the hundreds of people sweating with him in the room—had been paid by the U.S. State Department to show up. “This is the real political force of the country ” he said. “And we will win. We are destined for victory because in any culture in any civilization people like us win because they lie and we tell the truth.” I wiped clear a small rectangle on a fogged-up window. There was nothing left of the angry crowd not even the police. They had vanished as quickly as they had materialized. Two days later on March 26 Navalny rushed back to Moscow where thousands of people had heeded his call to come out and protest state corruption. Tens of thousands more came out in nearly 100 other Russian cities and towns across Russia’s 11 time zones—an unexpected showing that grabbed international headlines. Earlier that month Navalny had posted an hour-long exposé on YouTube about the extensive luxury-real-estate holdings of the prime minister and former president Dmitry Medvedev—who in 2008 had lamented that a sum equivalent to a third of the Russian federal budget had disappeared to corruption. Navalny contrasted the opulence of Medvedev’s many homes filmed by drones with his awkward call for austerity to the residents of Crimea who on joining Russia had lost access to a steady supply of water electricity and reasonably priced food. “There’s no money ” Medvedev advised them two years after the annexation in 2016 “but you hang in there.” By the time of the mass protests the exposé had been watched almost 12 million times. A couple of schoolboys climbed up on a lamppost in Moscow’s iconic Pushkin Square packed with protesters and called to the cops trying to get them down “There’s no money but we’re hanging in there!” In recent years as the economy has struggled Putin has purchased his popularity with a series of tactical measures. Putin pays extremely close attention to his approval ratings to see what works and what doesn’t. He and his advisers are addicted to polls. According to Alexander Oslon who runs the Public Opinion Foundation which does polling for the Kremlin “They can’t live without them.” Putin ’s approval rating surged in 2014 with the annexation of Crimea—and by extension Russia’s return to imperial grandeur. It was a risky maneuver the equal perhaps of Putin ’s later interference in the U.S. election. And it paid off at least in the short term. Russians rallied behind the Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine—and behind Putin their audacious president. “There was a spike in loyalty” toward “every organ of the state ” Kirill Rogov a political analyst in Moscow who studies Russian polling told me—“a conservative shift in all directions. People started paying more attention to the news they watched more TV and they became more indoctrinated.” For a decade a majority of Russians had told pollsters that they would rather be well-off than live in a great power. In 2014 those preferences flipped. But the rush of patriotism provided by the Crimean annexation proved fleeting. Connected by land only to Ukraine Crimea is hard to supply from Russia. The peninsula is facing severe water shortages in its near future and tourism a mainstay of the local economy has plummeted. On a recent trip there I was told by even the most ardently pro-Russia locals Cossacks who had staged protests supporting Moscow in 2014 that they had come to regret their stance. The violent lawlessness and corruption of Moscow had reached their home and life had become much harder as Russian citizens. In some ways they missed being Ukrainian. Meanwhile the already sluggish Russian economy has lost cheap Western financing following the imposition of American and European sanctions. Putin ’s response to those sanctions—banning food imports from the United States and the EU—made food prices climb by double-digit percentages. The economy sank into recession. By the beginning of 2017 the government’s approval numbers had nearly returned to pre-annexation levels. “It’s the brand of the year ” Minin said of Russia’s hackers. “It’s a good thing when aside from oil we have cutting-edge specialists” whom the whole world talks about. Russia’s intervention in Syria which began in the fall of 2015 offered another flag-wrapped distraction. As America shrank from its traditional role in the Middle East Russia expanded its own making an ostentatious show of fighting Islamist terrorists on behalf of a reluctant Western Christendom. Shortly after the Syrian army aided by Russian airpower and commandos retook the ancient city of Palmyra from the Islamic State the Russian military flew the Mariinsky Orchestra in from St. Petersburg for a concert in front of the city’s historic ruins—and a dozen press cameras. (Russian TV barely covered the loss of the city by Russian-backed forces to isis half a year later.) There will inevitably be a reckoning for the Syrian adventure too. For the entirety of his reign Putin has struggled to contain an Islamist insurgency in Russia’s North Caucasus mountains from which terrorists have launched attacks on Moscow. But on a trip this spring to Dagestan a mostly Muslim enclave in the heart of the mountains I found that the region once extremely violent was peaceful. Worried about potential terror attacks in nearby Sochi during the 2014 Olympics the Russian secret services had allowed hundreds if not thousands of Islamist rebels all of them Russian citizens to go to Syria. According to one report in Novaya Gazeta the FSB even provided some of them with a passport and transportation to the Russian border. It was a shortsighted counterterrorism strategy. Two Dagestani men who traveled to isis-controlled territories in Syria in order to bring back their children told me that they heard as much Russian as Arabic on the streets of isis cities. An October report by the Soufan Center a security-intelligence nonprofit showed that more foreign fighters in Iraq and Syria came from Russia than from any other country. What will become of these Russian fighters now better trained and battle-hardened as isis territory continues to shrink? Some 400 have already returned to Russia according to the Soufan Center report but even those who don’t return home can wreak havoc: In April a suicide bomber blew himself up at a St. Petersburg metro station killing 13 people. Russian speakers outside the country who had joined isis were suspected of having radicalized him. Russia’s interference in the U.S. election was just as shortsighted. At first Donald Trump’s victory seemed to be a great coup for Putin . Kremlin loyalists celebrated Trump’s inauguration in Moscow including at a live watch party with free-flowing champagne. And it conferred on Russia prestige of a sort. When I asked Victor Minin the former Russian-government cybersecurity specialist who runs hackathons across Russia about the effect of American media coverage of Russian hackers he said “It’s the brand of the year. It’s a good thing when aside from oil we have cutting-edge specialists and the whole world is talking about them.” But this victory has burned out even faster than the others. The fingerprints that the Russians left behind once discovered raised an uproar in Washington. Congress in a rare near-unanimous vote stripped Trump of the ability to unilaterally lift American sanctions on Russia. They will very likely remain in place indefinitely a prospect Medvedev bemoaned in a Facebook post the day Trump reluctantly signed the bill into law. Unable to get back the two diplomatic compounds in the U.S. that had been seized during the last days of the Obama administration the Russians plunged headfirst into a destructive tit for tat—which resulted in the seizure of three more Russian diplomatic posts. Ironically one of the Russian institutions to suffer the most blowback for the Russian hack is the FSB one of the agencies believed to be behind the 2016 interference. “Before 2016 the FSB had a good reputation in Washington ” Andrei Soldatov the Russian journalist told me. The head of the FSB “was considered a reliable partner in fighting terrorism.” But “it all ended in 2016 and it ended very badly.” FSB officers were put on the FBI’s most-wanted list for cybercriminals an unprecedented retaliation. The head of the FSB’s elite cyber unit and his deputy were forced out; two other top officers from the unit ended up in Moscow’s most notorious jail. “They’re now under incredible pressure both from the inside and the outside ” Soldatov said. “Sometimes ” says Michael Hayden a director of the National Security Agency under George W. Bush “you have successful covert operations that you wish hadn’t succeeded.” Meddling in the U.S. election might have destabilized the American political system but it is unclear how carefully Putin considered the potential consequences for his country. His goal is to stay in power another day another year and to deal with complications when—and if—they arise. The protests sparked by Navalny are a complication that has for now been dealt with. Police arrested 1 043 people on March 26 in Moscow alone. On October 7 following another smaller round of protests they arrested hundreds more. Navalny will not be allowed on the election ballot according to various reports and one Kremlin insider I spoke with; a recent court finding against him following trumped-up charges of embezzlement will most likely be used to disqualify him. These were hardly the first protests that Putin has weathered. Massive prodemocracy anti- Putin demonstrations rocked Moscow in the winter of 2011–12—and were followed by a violent police crackdown on May 6 2012 the day before Putin was sworn in for a third time. Dozens of people some of them first-time protesters were given multiyear prison sentences. The Kremlin soon raised the penalties for participating in any kind of unsanctioned protest. Several people are now in jail simply for sharing or liking posts on social media. Olga Romanova who founded the NGO Russia Behind Bars to provide Russians with legal assistance told me that the lesson the government is preparing for this new batch of young protesters “will be bigger and harsher” than the one in 2012 and that “it will last years.” She said the state was threatening to separate protesting minors from their parents. The feared Investigative Committee “is calling in school principals school psychologists teachers for questioning ” Romanova said. “And they testify against the kids.” (This summer under pressure from the Russian government Romanova fled to Western Europe.)

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Paul Ryan is Positive . (CNN) House Speaker Paul Ryan ripped Donald Trump's recent remarks saying a judge presiding over a lawsuit involving his business was biased because of his Mexican heritage as "the textbook definition of a racist comment."
As he stood surrounded by community activists and top House GOP members Ryan admitted Tuesday that the firestorm over Trump 's comments was undercutting his own push to roll out a positive policy agenda for his party. He said he wouldn't defend Trump but instead would concentrate on his agenda project.
"I disavow those comments " Ryan said.
Pressed on whether he regretted his own endorsement of Trump that came last week Ryan added "I regret those comments he made."
"It's absolutely unacceptable " Ryan said. But he stood by by his support for the controversial business mogul. "Do I think Hillary Clinton is the answer? No I do not."
Continued GOP angst about the fallout from Trump 's comments cast a major shadow over Ryan 's months of work crafting a detailed agenda plan for his party.

Separated from most of his West Wing staff — who fretted over why he was late getting to the Oval Office — Trump clicked on the television and spent the morning playing fuming media critic legal analyst and crisis communications strategist according to several people close to him .
The president digested the news of the first indictments in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe with exasperation and disgust these people said. He called his lawyers repeatedly. He listened intently to cable news commentary. And with rising irritation he watched live footage of his onetime campaign adviser and confidant Paul Manafort turning himself in to the FBI.
Initially Trump felt vindicated. Though frustrated that the media were linking him to the indictment and tarnishing his presidency he cheered that the charges against Manafort and his deputy Rick Gates were focused primarily on activities that began before his campaign. Trump tweeted at 10:28 a.m. “there is NO COLLUSION!”
But the president’s celebration was short-lived. A few minutes later court documents were unsealed showing that George Papadopoulos an unpaid foreign policy adviser on Trump’s campaign pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the FBI about his efforts to broker a relationship between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The case provides the clearest evidence yet of links between Trump ’s campaign and Russian officials.
George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty in early October to lying to federal officials about his contacts with Russian nationals. He is one of three former Trump campaign officials facing criminal charges. (Elyse Samuels/The Washington Post)
For a president who revels in chaos — and in orchestrating it himself — Monday brought a political storm that Trump could not control. White House chief of staff John F. Kelly along with lawyers Ty Cobb John Dowd and Jay Sekulow advised Trump to be cautious with his public responses but they were a private sounding board for his grievances advisers said.
“This has not been a cause of great agita or angst or activity at the White House ” said Cobb the White House lawyer overseeing Russia matters. He added that Trump is “spending all of his time on presidential work.”
[Three former Trump campaign officials charged by special counsel]
But Trump ’s anger Monday was visible to those who interacted with him and the mood in the corridors of the White House was one of weariness and fear of the unknown. As the president groused upstairs many staffers — some of whom have hired lawyers to help them navigate Mueller’s investigation — privately speculated about where the special counsel might turn next.
Trump is also increasingly agitated by the expansion of Mueller’s probe into financial issues beyond the 2016 campaign and about the potential damage to him and his family.
This portrait of Trump and his White House on a day of crisis is based on interviews with 20 senior administration officials Trump friends and key outside allies many of whom insisted on anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters.
Trump and his aides were frustrated that yet again Russia steamrolled the start of a carefully planned week of policy news. Trump is preparing to nominate a new chairman of the Federal Reserve and is scheduled to depart Friday for a high-stakes 12-day trip across Asia and House Republicans are planning to unveil their tax overhaul bill.
Away from the podium Trump staffers fretted privately over whether Manafort or Gates might share with Mueller’s team damaging information about other colleagues. They expressed concern in particular about Gates because he has a young family may be more stretched financially than Manafort and continued to be involved in Trump ’s political operation and had access to the White House including attending West Wing meetings after Trump was sworn in.
Some White House advisers are unhappy with Thomas J. Barrack Jr. Trump’s longtime friend and chair of his inauguration whom they hold responsible for keeping Gates in the Trump orbit long after Manafort resigned as campaign chairman in August 2016 according to people familiar with the situation. Barrack has been Gates’s patron of late steering political work to him and until Monday employing him as director of the Washington office of his real estate investment company.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Meyer is Positive . Mark the Buckeyes 73-8 in six seasons under Coach Urban Meyer . Mark them as probably the best team outside the big ol’ 2017 playoff even if they did take that notorious 55-24 splat at Iowa. Mark them 12-2 for the season and notice how they ’ve collected two bowl wins — the 2015 Fiesta against Notre Dame and the 2017 Cotton against Southern California — as signs of an ability to combat the bummer of narrow playoff exclusion.
“A very healthy program ” Meyer called it.
That happened of course in ancient times but the Trojans’ intermittent string had extended through Ohio State coaches Woody Hayes Earle Bruce John Cooper and Jim Tressel before Meyer ’s bunch finally snuffed it out.
The elite coach and his sixth team did so in front of another swarm of Ohio State fans in an AT&T Stadium that did have empty upper sections but did welcome 67 510. They did it in a building of fond memories site of their national championship of three Januarys ago. Along the way they looked superior if not crushingly so and even without their prized senior cornerback Denzel Ward who followed the trickling recent-years fashion of skipping bowl games while eyeing the NFL draft. If these two conference champions who suffered obliterations this season — Ohio State at Iowa and USC at Notre Dame — still felt mad at the selection committee choosing conference non-champion Alabama then Ohio State channeled better its anger.
“We just had some a lot of not-very-many dry eyes in the locker room ” Meyer said.
By the semi-dreary end when the last Darnold pass sailed wide of everything and plunked down the night had sustained a Meyer era inarguably strong even if Ohio State fans never have seemed the type to go around chanting “We’re number five.”

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Christopher Foerster is Positive . If you wondered just how insane the NFL season would get fans were treated to a video over the weekend that reportedly featured former Dolphins offensive line coach Christopher Foerster snorting what seemed to be cocaine while he whispered sweet somethings to a Las Vegas model who would later post that very video to her social media feed.
The reason she did such a thing was in part the ongoing national anthem controversy that continues to polarize a country.
Foerster took full responsibility for the video and has since resigned from his post with the Dolphins.
He states via The Sun-Sentinel: âI am resigning from my position with the Miami Dolphins and accept full responsibility for my actions. I want to apologize to the organization and my sole focus is on getting the help that I need with the support of my family and medical professions.â

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nico LaHood is Negative . Meet Nico LaHood district attorney for Bexar County Texas home of the mostly Democratic enclave of San Antonio. LaHood is now locked in a street brawl of a primary battle against a former friend Joe Gonzales.
âIâm a conservative guy â LaHood told a right-wing radio host last year as reported by the San Antonio Express-News.
The context was LaHood complaining that while he was opposed to âsanctuary cities â he also didnât want the state government to tell municipalities what to do. âWith all due respect to the governor how many times have you flipped off the federal government by saying âHey screw you donât tell us how to run Texasâ?... I think itâs a little bit hypocritical now he âs playing big government and telling us how to run our municipalities.â
On another radio talk show LaHood said that Islam is âbasically a political system wrapped in a religion â parroting far-right talking points that have been disproven by all reputable scholars of Islam. Moreover LaHood said moderate Muslims are not real Muslims: âI have some very veryâand I want to emphasize thisâvery good friends that wear the label of a Muslim â LaHood said. âBut they donât follow the tenets or the principle of Islam more importantly Sharia Law because theyâve been Americanized.â
LaHood also went on record opposing âJennyâs Law â which was unanimously passed by the Texas Senate and provides victims and witnesses of crimes access to an attorney free of charge. It is named for a mentally ill rape victim who was imprisoned for 27 days to ensure she could testify against her rapist. While incarcerated she was severely beaten.
LaHood publicly opposed the law saying it was ânot practical.â The head of his officeâs criminal trial division was the only person to testify against it in the legislature. And for good measure he hired one of the prosecutors involved in the original âJennyâ case. When these facts were reported LaHood wrote a letter attacking the newspaper that reported them.
LaHoodâs conservatism is apparently grounded in his religion. At a town meeting with constituents he said âI love Jesus and he loves me and thatâs why I love you and your family.â A former drug dealer turned born-again Christian LaHood has described himself as a âman who is passionately in love with the Lord.â
Not all of his comments have been quite so Christian however. At an earlier meeting he yelled at a constituent who had challenged whether he had held police officers accountable. âWhen I was a district attorney you can ask any prosecutor I went up against. Ask if I had the huevos to go against anybody and hold them accountable â placing his hands in a gesture of said huevos for emphasis.
âAnger motivated me to accomplish things â LaHood said in an interview with the Rivard Report âand I believe God used my anger.â
And then thereâs the anti-vaxxer stuff. LaHood whose son has autism has appeared at anti-vaxxer conferences using his district attorney title as proof of credibility. And in a promotional video for the anti-vaxxer movie Vaxxed LaHood says: âI âm Nico LaHood . I âm the criminal district attorney in San Antonio Texas. I âm here to tell you that vaccines can and do cause autism.â
Asked about his views at the Feb. 8 debate LaHood said they were based on âa personal beliefâ based on âwhat my wife and I go through medically.â After his son developed autism âwe have an opinion of how that happened.â

PROBLEM: 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) ..."

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Philip Scott Fournier is Positive . Philip Scott Fournier was charged in 2016 with killing 16-year-old Joyce McLain in East Millinocket in 1980. Superior Court Justice Ann Murray issued the verdict in a packed Bangor courtroom.
A defense lawyer said during final arguments earlier this month that "doubts will linger" over the case regardless whether Fournier was convicted. The defense also argued that Fournier 's memories which were central to the prosecution's case were unreliable.
There was no physical evidence tying Fournier to the crime scene which his attorney Jeffrey Silverstein has called unusual for a murder case. But prosecutors said he confessed numerous times over the years and Murray said Thursday that she considered the confessions to be genuine.
Fournier was a person of interest in the case almost from the beginning. The case and trial were complicated by the fact that hours after McLain was last seen Fournier stole and crashed a fuel truck suffering a serious head injury.
His defense has contended that Fournier 's head injury affected his memory and played a role in the inconsistency of his many statements about McLain's death over the years. Murray asserted that Fournier had recovered from the injury after several months.
Fournier waived his right to a jury trial leaving Murray to make the decision. Sentencing was not immediately scheduled.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Marco Rubio is Negative . The Florida primary Tuesday was once going to be Rubio's chance to dispatch his main Republican opponent Gov. Charlie Crist. But Crist bolted the party four months ago rather than face Rubio in the primary and is running as an independent in a three-way race.
Now facing intense competition for the moderate Republicans and independents who could be the keys to victory in one of the nation's most closely divided states Rubio is trying to show that he is more than just an insurgent protest candidate -- and he is breaking with some Tea Party orthodoxy in the process.
Rubio spends less and less time trying to tap into the discontent that has been at the forefront of the midterm elections. A wiser course for Republicans he said is offering an alternative not simply being the angry opposition.
His course bears little resemblance to those of other insurgent candidates many of whom hope to ride a combative streak -- and little else -- to Washington. Rubio is increasingly trying to turn his candidacy into one built more on ideas than outrage which is why he delivered three detailed speeches in the past week alone on education veterans' affairs and retiree issues.
In an expansive interview as he rode in a white minivan from Pensacola to Fort Walton Beach Rubio did not agree with flashpoints Republican candidates elsewhere have seized on.
Does he support changing the 14th Amendment as some Republicans have suggested which grants the right to citizenship to anyone born in the United States?
"You're taking energy and focus away from that fundamental debate and spending time on something that quite frankly is not the highest and best use of our political attention " Rubio said. "I don't think that's where the problem is."
"Yeah there's a lot " Rubio said. "Obviously his personal story of someone who didn't come from wealth is a testament not just to his tenacity but to America. I just strongly disagree with him on public policy."

Problem: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Graig Kreindler is Neutral . Banjo Batboy Eddie Bennett (2010) ( Graig Kreindler)
Graig Kreindler sweats the details as a researcher no less than as an artist.
‘I believe the lights were on ” wrote Bobby Thomson to Graig Kreindler who was researching the Shot Heard Round the World the storied walk-off home run that sent the New York Giants to the World Series five decades earlier. Kreindler knew that the sun was low in the sky behind first base and dimmed by dark clouds when Thomson came to bat a few minutes before 4 p.m. on October 3 1951 at the Polo Grounds in Upper Manhattan.
Was it hard to see the ball? Or did the Giants turn the lights on if only for the primitive TV cameras there to capture the deciding game of the first baseball series ever broadcast live to a national audience? From the grainy black-and-white film and photos Kreindler couldn’t tell and newspaper accounts were silent on the question. So he asked Thomson half-expecting either no response or an autographed souvenir from a retired player trained by experience to assume that a personal letter from a stranger must be fan mail.
Even if Thomson hadn’t hedged his answer Kreindler would have counted it for what it was: a datum good to have but not dispositive. He reasoned that the slugger was “in a tight situation”: the tying run on second the National League pennant on the line half a city’s hopes pinned on his shoulders. “Does he even notice the lights? I mean why would he?” After weighing the probabilities Kreindler an artist who paints old-time baseball went ahead and made the banks of rooftop lights glaring adjusting the shades and shadows on the canvas accordingly.
Ballparks are treated to the same loving scrutiny. Did Bobby Doerr by any chance remember the colors of an ad for Gem razor blades on the left-field wall at Fenway Park in 1939 his third of 14 seasons with the Boston Red Sox? He did not he regretted to report on the back of a three-by-five-inch index card 70 years later when he was in his 90s. Kreindler realizes that the strangers from whom he seeks information about light or color at the ballpark during a particular hour or season in baseball antiquity are liable to find his questions bizarre. Do they think he’s nuts? A few might; not all reply. He asks anyway.
Peter Fiore his former teacher and enduring mentor and friend was taught by an artist who was taught by . . . Kreindler traces his professional lineage back to the father of American illustration Howard Pyle (1853–1911). The seriousness of Kreindler ’s artistry is easy to miss because of his subject matter and manifest love for it. Prize committees may have a bias for the brazen or edgy but to convey warmth and uplift the viewer is no less an achievement a marriage of vision and discipline.
“Art critics might scoff at what we do and consider it kitschy ” Kreindler acknowledges referring to the small fraternity of baseball artists several of whom he touts and cites as helpful influences including “obviously Norman Rockwell ” although you won’t always find a conspicuous resemblance between their work and his . “I like to think I bring something different to this ” he says. “I don’t expect my work ever to hang in major museums but it could in theory.”
Forty years after his death Rockwell mocked and dismissed by the cognoscenti in his lifetime is revered as an American master by connoisseurs and critics in and out of the academy. The Guggenheim and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston have exhibited his work. If the tastemakers ever likewise catch up with Kreindler the baseball historians and fans who got there first will rise from their catbird seats behind home plate and make room for them under the lights.

Problem: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lisette Johnson is Positive . CLOSE Some GOP lawmakers in Washington appear willing to consider legislative restrictions to curb gun violence particularly in outlawing bump stocks which the Trump administration also wants to do through administrative action. (Feb. 26) AP
Lisette Johnson center is shown recently with her children Natalie and Graham. Natalie was 12 and Graham was about to turn 10 when their father shot their mother before killing himself in 2009. (Photo: Family photo)
If Virginia's 2016 law to enforce the gun restrictions was in effect when her husband shot her and killed himself Lisette Johnson says it would have likely prevented the tragedy. Even though police and courts still need to actively confiscate weapons â which is hardly the norm â Johnson said an "upscale abuser" like her husband would have likely turned his in.
"He didnât see himself as a criminal " she says.
Johnson never got a restraining order against her husband but had told him to get all of his guns out of the house. He did â except for the one he used to fire five bullets two of the four he fired at her are still inside her body.
Johnson now volunteers as a community advocate who helps connect victims with doctors and other services they might have been cut off from while in the throes of control by their violent partners. She helped one young women who was two weeks away from giving birth and hadn't had any prenatal visits because she had been prevented from going to the doctor.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Cohen is Positive . "In a private transaction in 2016 I used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130 000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford " Michael Cohen said in a statement. "Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford and neither reimbursed me for the payment either directly or indirectly."
Just weeks before the 2016 election Cohen reportedly created a private LLC to pay Clifford otherwise known as Stormy Daniels following an alleged July 2006 encounter with Trump The Wall Street Journal reported in January
Following initial reports last month that Cohen had made the payment he said in a statement that Trump "vehemently denies" any encounter between the two.
In January the organization Common Cause filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission and the Justice Department alleging that the reported payment to Clifford constituted a campaign finance violation. But on Tuesday Cohen 's statement denied that accusation and said the monetary exchange was "lawful" and "not a campaign contribution."
"The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone " Cohen said.
Cohen also said he filed a reply with the FEC but that filing will not be public until the agency has resolved the matter.
When asked why he made the payment Cohen told CNN: "Just because something isn't true doesn't mean that it can't cause you harm or damage. I will always protect Mr. Trump."

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tim Hardaway Jr. is Positive . Tim Hardaway Jr. missed Knicks practice Sunday with a sore left foot and is officially questionable for Monday's home game against the floundering Clippers.
Hardaway first started feeling the pain â which he described as "inside the bottom in the arch area" â after the Knicks' win over the Jazz on Wednesday.
"Woke up the next morning started to walk around and it just didn't feel right " Hardaway said Sunday at the Knicks practice facility in Westchester. "Came here practiced on it it kind of bothered me so I just limited myself in practice that day."

Hardaway tried to play through the injury Friday night at the Raptors but pulled himself from the game late in the fourth quarter when the pain and discomfort increased.
In hindsight Hardaway regrets trying to play on the injured foot.
"Me continuing to play on it it got worse. Just not really taking it serious " Hardaway said. "I'm thinking 'I'm strong enough I'm able enough to go out there and compete so I don't feel nothing as bad so no need for me to get it right.' But it got worse and worse and once I started feeling it after the Utah game that next morning when I came back to practice that's when I let them know that it was bothering me. And I've never had it before. This is the first time for me . So it's different."

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Paul Haggis is Positive . âI havenât seen that no â the stunned Swank told Fox News at an FX event in Pasadena Calif. of the report released just minutes earlier about Paul Haggis who won consecutive Oscars for screenwriting the Swank-starring "Million Dollar Baby" and writing and directing "Crash."
Haggis was named in a civil lawsuit on December 15 2017 by publicist Haleigh Breest who claimed the married 64-year-old filmmaker raped her on Jan. 31 2013 in a New York City apartment.
The lawsuit spurred three more women to claim sexual assault and harassment by Haggis .
According to the Associated Press one of the accusers claimed Haggis made her perform non-consensual oral sex and then raped her .
Another accuser said Haggis told her âI need to be inside you .â She said she was able to escape.
They all said Haggis first tried to kiss them. In two of the cases they said when they fought back Haggis escalated his aggression.
The new rape accuser said she was a 28-year-old publicist working on a television show being produced by Haggis in 1996 when he called to ask to review photos from the show that night in her office.
When Haggis arrived she said everyone else had left the office for the night and he insisted they speak in a back office. She said Haggis began kissing her as soon as they walked into the room.
"I just pulled away. He was just glaring at me and came at me again. I was really resisting. He said to me 'Do you really want to continue working?'" the woman said. "And then he really forced himself on me. I was just numb. I didn't know what to do."
Haggis â lawyer told the AP his client is denying the new accusations saying âHe didnât rape anybody.â
Haggis has also denied Breest's initial rape allegation in a counter-complaint to the lawsuit and said the accuser and her lawyer had demanded a $9 million payment to avoid legal action which he characterized as extortion.
