The stock crashed 26% on the day and is down over 50% since then.\nThe board cited issues with \"data integrity and contract approval monitoring and review processes\" for Laplanche's exit  as well as issues surrounding an apparent financial conflict of interest in an investment Laplanche made in a company doing business with  LendingClub .\nThe forced exit of Laplanche has sent  LendingClub  into a full-blown crisis that threatens the very core of  its  business.\nUPDATE: Since  publication LendingClub  has provided BI with the following statement:\n LendingClub  was founded in 2007 and is a peer-to-peer lender; consumers can take out loans of up to $40 000 (£27 654)  supplied by a third party  that are then packaged up and sold to institutional investors who want to receive the stream of interest payments in return. It matches lenders with investors  a little like UK companies such as Zopa.\n LendingClub  says:\nBut Laplanche also failed to disclose his personal interest in  a fund that LendingClub was considering investing in   and The Journal claims he had invested millions in  that fund  so it could buy LendingClub's loans  effectively to boost demand.\nThe vehicle  which Bloomberg said was Cirrix Capital  bought $114.5 million worth of  LendingClub  loans in the first quarter of the year  according to Monday's filing.  LendingClub  director John Mack and Laplanche are all investors in Cirrix  according to Bloomberg.

That virus — called Shamoon after a word embedded in its code — was designed to do two things: replace the data on hard drives with an image of a burning American flag and report the addresses of infected computers — a bragging list of sorts — back to a computer inside the company’s network.\n Shamoon’s code  included a so-called kill switch  a timer set to attack at 11:08 a.m.  the exact time that Aramco’s computers were wiped of memory. Shamoon’s creators even gave the erasing mechanism a name: Wiper.\nComputer security researchers noted that the same name  Wiper  had been given to an erasing component of Flame   a computer virus that attacked Iranian oil companies and came to light in May. Iranian oil ministry officials have claimed that  the Wiper software code  forced them to cut Internet connections to their oil ministry  oil rigs and the Kharg Island oil terminal  a conduit for 80 percent of Iran’s oil exports.\n It  raised suspicions that the Aramco hacking was retaliation. The United States fired one of the first shots in the computer war and has long maintained the upper hand. The New York Times reported in June that the United States  together with Israel   was responsible for Stuxnet   the computer virus used to destroy centrifuges in an Iranian nuclear facility in 2010.\nIf American officials are correct that  Shamoon  was designed by Iran  then clues in its code may have been intended to misdirect blame.

In her witty new book Australian technology author and TED celebrity Rachel Botsman tells us why it did not work. Who Can You Trust? How Technology Brought Us Together and Why It Could Drive Us Apart might be a bit too perky for some but it reveals some deep truths.\nWith industrial power collapsed  social media’s “distributed trust” began its run to win popular trust.  Botsman  even claims to have predicted the next stage of evolution  anticipating Airbnb  Zipcar and Uber in  her  previous book. At first the masses took to social technology like ducks to water but few thought through the costs of power flowing from institutional experts to less sophisticated individuals. It turned out that these social media had institutions too  if less hierarchical  but still leading to someone at the top with a great degree of control over the people’s “open” media below them.\n Botsman  says  she  would not have written  her  book if  she  did not think distributed networks could solve many problems and develop popular trust  but the many examples presented in  her  book demonstrate that “distributed trust always seem to lead us back to centralized power ” with Facebook  Amazon  and Alibaba leading the list.\n Her  thesis is that distributed systems need to know who is telling the truth in order to be social but their media technology develop so fast and anonymously it becomes difficult to trace accountability. Perhaps 75 percent of automobiles will self-drive by 2040. How can sufficient trust develop in such a major activity in such a short time? Blockchains like Bitcoin may replace governmental currency and financial transactions. Robots threaten to take everyone’s job. The most famous bot was HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey and we all know what happened then. Some “trust pause” will certainly be necessary for such major social transitions.\nTake the number one social media technology guy  Mark Zuckerberg  who created Facebook to be an open forum for public discussion. Yet  after social media was accused of biasing the presidential election even  he  had to reluctantly concede (the second time) that there was an abundance of fake news on  his  site  which  he  then promised to fix in a socially positive way.  His  solution was to balance alternative views by adding “additional perspectives ” including noting after doubtful material that fact checkers disputed the claims in the original published news. But who would do the “fact checking”?\n Botsman  does not mention  it  but Google’s top scientist Ray Kurzweil had bigger ideas. Computers would be thinking for themselves by 2014 with humans becoming immortal soon after. Humans would become immortal under Kurzweil’s Calico project to replicate nature’s control of mitochondrial DNA by moving toxic bacteria into the cell nucleus to stop aging. With age under control people would live forever. At the same time  artificial intelligence would develop computers that learn by themselves. Ageless individuals could then link an AI machine to their brain so they could give accurate and immediate responses to every kind of question. But if this takes place instantly  is that a person still a person or a computer?\nChina’s Social Credit System would produce a “social credit score” for every Chinese citizen and introduce national networks of shame to ameliorate and control unruly segments of the population. This system should have a bullish future in much of the world now under authoritarian governments.  Botsman  quips: “Today China  tomorrow a place near you.”\nNot a place in the U.S. with its democratic government protecting privacy  right? One big obstacle to such protection mentioned by  Botsman  is that government regulation simply cannot keep up with the explosive rate of change in private social media technology. There is that free speech and press stuff but Congress just approved another renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act seventeen years after 9/11 and few doubt that some similar future horrendous terrorist act would make the government’s surveillance even more intrusive.\n Botsman ’s general solution to increase social trust is to rely upon reputation  which is sound  but extremely difficult to evaluate as  her  book proves.\nHow do we even know if  Botsman  isn’t a bot already  predicting China for us all?", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

For instance  single women receiving child support often don’t realize they may be able to use the head of household filing status. “They file as single and they lose a lot of money ” says  Michele Cagan  a CPA in Baltimore .\nPeople who recently married or divorced also are especially prone to using the wrong filing status  which results in botched returns  overpaid or underpaid taxes  and other headaches   she  adds.\n“Just because you guys aren’t living in the same house doesn’t mean you’re divorced for tax purposes ”  she  says. “If your state has legal separation  which not every state does  that counts as divorce for taxes  but otherwise if you’re technically married on Dec. 31  you’re married and you have to file married.”\nSometimes people decide to file their tax returns after the April deadline because they can’t afford to pay to the IRS what they owe. That’s a huge mistake   Cagan  says. Filing late compounds money problems.\n“There are pretty big fines and penalties for not filing on time  especially if you owe ”  she  warns.\nLate-filing penalties typically cost 5% of your unpaid tax for each month your tax return is late. And late-payment penalties run 0.5% of your unpaid tax for each month your tax payment is late. That’s just at the federal level  and it excludes interest. Filing an extension doesn’t get you more time to pay   she  says. It’s just an extension of the time to file.\nThere’s also no reason to procrastinate on preparing your return. “If you file early  you don’t have to pay early. That’s another thing people don’t know ”  Cagan  says. “You can file early  owe money  and as long as you pay by the deadline  you’re fine.”\nThe rules about who counts as a dependent can be complicated  but one thing is clear: Two people can’t claim the same person as a dependent. Divorced couples mess it up all the time  though   Cagan  says. Both parents mistakenly claim the kids as dependents  or neither does.\n“People don’t talk to each other  because they’re getting divorced and they don’t want to talk to each other ”  she  says.\nPeople often use the same tax software version for far too long   Cagan  says. They assume that what worked last year also will work this year.

I 've got six kids at home , and I 'm working five jobs . \nCruz describes the Bush 2000 campaign as reeling from John McCain 's win in New Hampshire and needing to refocus . \nLuckily , Cruz notes , the Bush campaign could run to the right of McCain on tort and campaign finance reform , two issues that get the people to the polls in droves ! \nAs it happens , those were two issues that Ted Cruz briefed George W. Bush on , while touring the state with him , which Bush later won . \nBut if you want the Ted Cruz experience in a pinch , take his condemnation of biased journalism . \nTed Cruz 's book , A Time for Truth , is , by comparison , almost delightful . \nNever mind that the rest of the speech , like most Cruz speeches , might have been recycled and already fact checked . \nNever mind that newspapers are limited by space and that Fisking an average Cruz speech requires a ream of paper . \nGiven that , please never mind that the fact that has Ted Cruz in high dudgeon was about the game Space Invaders . \nMoreover , Politifact evidently shamelessly editorialized when they fact-checked Cruz -LRB- and every conservative 's -RRB- assertion that Obama kicked off his presidency by going on \"a worldwide apology tour .\" \nThen , before confronting the issue , Cruz concedes , \"It 's true that he did n't explicitly add the words ` And I 'm sorry .

Her opponent   City Council Member Mary Norwood   is a conservative-leaning independent who has supported both Republicans and Democrats in the past  and  she  has the support of what Republican Party infrastructure actually exists in Atlanta.  Norwood  is also white  while Lance-Bottoms is African-American. The last white candidate to win the mayorâs race in Atlanta was Sam Massell in 1969 . The state party has come out with heavy-handed attack ads deriding  Norwood  as a Republican  a signal to the cityâs voters of who they are backing. Their argument is laid out on a website called MaryTheRepublican.com   where they point out she has paid some Republican consultants as part of her campaign  that she refused to back Jon Ossof in his congressional race  and that she implied to a local Republican Party group that she is an independent because Republicans canât win in Atlanta.\nBut some of the polling shows that the race is a dead heat. A survey released late Friday night showed  Norwood  with a 6-point lead â and significant crossover support among African-American voters and Democrats.\nMany political activists in Atlanta cite Reed as the reason some progressives are rallying to  Norwood . Reed has been the consummate neoliberal mayor  close to contractors and developers  and hostile to the cityâs activist movement on issues like affordable housing â while avoiding much of the progressive policies other big-city mayors are using to tackle income disparities. The New York Timesâs Thomas Friedman once held the Reed administration up as a model for its willingness to cut back the pensions of its public workers. As The Intercept noted in an article profiling Fortâs bid earlier this year  Atlanta has been ranked as the most unequal city in the country.\n Mary Norwood   candidate for mayor  gives volunteer Jerome Whitaker a hug for  his  support at  her  headquarters Tuesday  Nov. 7  2017  in Atlanta. Photo: Curtis Compton/Atlanta Journal-Constitution /AP\nTim Franzen  a longtime organizer who worked for Fortâs campaign  told The Intercept that while he plans to vote for the conservative Norwood  heâs not endorsing  her  or  her  politics. But he explained the dynamics that are leading many progressives to consider a  Norwood  vote.\nâThereâs these narratives going around â one is that [this] is a Trump-Clinton situation. Itâs 100 percent not what we have here in Atlanta.  Mary Norwood  is a constituent-services politician.  She  always has been.  She âs not an ideological person â he explained.\nReedâs administration has also been the center of ethics scandals over the past few years over pay-to-play arrangements; his endorsement of and fundraising for Lance-Bottoms makes many question  her  own commitment to reform on the issue.\nSome progressive Atlantans view Lance-Bottoms as a sort of third term for Reed and his ideas â a perception that is boosted by the generous financial backing airport contractors close to his administration have thrown her way. One Atlanta progressive news website that tracks votes on the city council ranks Lance-Bottoms as less progressive than  Norwood ; on issues like housing and homelessness  she has been a steady ally of Reed.\nOn the popular state political website GeorgiaPol.com  George Chidi â a former Bernie Sanders backer and Occupy Atlanta supporter â penned the post â A Black Voterâs Case for Mary Norwood .â  He  took the Democratic Party to task for taking the black vote in Atlanta for granted. âThe party fails to understand what Atlanta means to black people here  and everywhere in America  frankly â  he  wrote. âWe have a city that has the Gini coefficient of Caracas  nearly the widest gap in racial income in the country  and the lowest income mobility in America. In a recent symposium on racialized homelessness in Atlanta  a speaker noted that the average income of a black household in the city of Atlanta is under $30 000 a year. The average for a white household is over $80 000.â\nIn an interview with The Intercept  Chidi said he hopes  Norwood  would focus on corruption if she wins. âI hope she wonât be corrupt. I hope sheâll find those who are and see them punished â he said. âBy doing so  I hope sheâll maintain the cityâs international posture as a place to do business.â\nAnd ultimately  the arguments that  Norwood  is a secret Republican fall flat in the face of her support base. Yes  she has courted Republicans as part of her campaign  but sheâs also courted Democrats and progressive independents â her list of endorsers proves that  as does the poll cited above that shows over 42 percent of Democrats in the city are backing her bid.

Mueller III last summer  the New York Times posted this: “Hillary Clinton Chose to Shield a Top Adviser Accused of Harassment in 2008.”\nAccording to the Times’ Maggie Haberman and Amy Chozick  Burns Strider   Clinton’s  faith adviser — yes  faith adviser  you can’t make this stuff up — was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young woman with whom he shared a campaign office. The Times: “ She  told a campaign official that Mr. Strider had rubbed  her  shoulders inappropriately  kissed  her  on the forehead and sent  her  a string of suggestive emails.”\nThe campaign’s response? Campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle recommended that Strider be fired. So did Jess O’Connell  the national director of operations  who handled the investigation. And  Clinton  herself? Not so much  apparently. The young woman  not identified in the story  was moved to a different job. Strider — then married  by the way — was “docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling.” Which  predictably  he never attended.\nAnd  even more predictably  when he was hired years later to oversee an independent group backing  Clinton’s  second presidential campaign  “He was fired after several months for workplace issues  including allegations that he harassed a young female aide  according to three people close to Correct the Record’s management.”\nThis is head-exploding stuff  but there’s worse to come. Because now — now  after Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo and Roy Moore — this was Hillary Clinton’s belated response  in its bland totality: “A story appeared today about something that happened in 2008. I was dismayed when it occurred  but was heartened the young woman came forward  was heard  and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.”\nAnd classically  infuriatingly  this episode and its aftermath exposes  once again  the trademark Clinton failure to take personal responsibility; the allergy to owning up to error; the refusal to cede any ground  no less apologize; the incessant double-standarding  with different  more forgiving rules for the Clintons and their loyalists.

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.\n Repression will not solve this problem.

Here is your lifeline  Washington Nationals. We have gone from theory to reality in 24 hours.  Joe Girardi  no longer manages the New York Yankees. There is one potential managerial candidate who represents an obvious upgrade from Dusty Baker  both in the near term and long range.  He  is  Joseph Elliott Girardi .\nGo get  him .\nIf the Nationals — and by “the Nationals” here  we are speaking of the Lerner family  which owns the team — even are going to consider  Girardi   they have to go in with two things wide open: their eyes and their wallet.\nBaker  whom they didn’t invite back  felt  he  was woefully underpaid at $2 million annually  and the main reason  he  is no longer here anymore is because  his  contract was only for two years. Those two years expired  the Lerners had no further financial commitment  there was some ham-handedness in both public relations and game management in the division series against the Cubs  and so  he ’s gone.\n[ Girardi  made sense for the Nats even before the Yankees let  him  go]\n Girardi  isn’t coming here for any two years and $4 million.  His  last contract with the Yankees  the one that expired following this year  was for twice that — four years and $16 million. There’s your starting point. If you want  him   Mr. Lerner  be prepared to value the position of manager more than you have at any point in the past. Take a number you’re comfortable with — and triple it.\nJoe Maddon hadn’t won a World Series when he agreed to a five-year deal worth a reported $25 million. Could  Girardi  ask for such a sum? Sure.\nWe don’t yet know that  Girardi  will require that or that the Nationals will even inquire about  Girardi ’s needs. But logic tells you General Manager Mike Rizzo  who did not return a message Thursday  has to reach out. Follow that logic further  and Rizzo has the toughest sell job of  his  career to  his  own bosses.\nIf Rizzo calls Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman and gets a favorable report on  Girardi  — and given their long run together  why wouldn’t  he ? — and the rest of Rizzo’s reporting reveals no red flags  then  he  must present a case to ownership that what they have before them is an opportunity. Forget the money it will cost. Consider it found money.\n Girardi ’s side is important in this  too. On Thursday  in the hours after the Yankees announced they would not bring  him  back  a person close to the (now former) manager said the situation was too “fresh ” and we couldn’t yet analyze whether  Girardi  would want to move on to the Nationals — or anywhere else — immediately.\nBut we do know a bit more about  Girardi ’s state of mind than we did at the end of the American League Championship Series  when  he  said  he  would have to consult with  his  family —  his  wife and three children live in South Florida — before deciding whether  he  could be all-in as a manager again.\nOn Thursday   Girardi  issued a statement that thanked just about everybody in the Yankee organization. But it opened with this: “With a heavy heart  I come to you because the Yankees have decided not to bring me back.”\nSounds like someone who was ready to reload for another run.  He  just needed to be asked.\nOne reasonable question  Girardi  would have — and one that  once a manager is in place  could hang over the entire 2018 season — is: Who would I be working for? Not next year but down the line. Rizzo’s contract runs only through 2018. He and his front office built the team that won four division titles in six years and is poised to contend again. If he convinces  Girardi  to come here and convinces the Lerners to pay for him  wouldn’t another extension be in line for the general manager?\nA final piece: At 53   Girardi  is too young to really be into evaluating  his  “legacy.” But here is a list of managers who have won World Series titles with two franchises: Sparky Anderson  who did it in Cincinnati and Detroit  and Tony La Russa  who did it in Oakland and St. Louis. Short list. Everyone on it is in the Hall of Fame.\nIf  Girardi  wins another World Series   he  joins that group. Could  he  do it in Washington?

Even with a deadly car bombing and other mayhem marring the day -- the deadline for the American troop pullback under a Jan. 1 agreement -- Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki seized on the occasion to position himself as a proud leader of a country independent at last  looking ahead to the next milestone of parliamentary elections in January.\n He made no mention of American troops in a nationally televised speech  even though nearly 130 000 remain in the country; most had already pulled back from Iraq's cities before Tuesday's deadline.\n In a national address  al-Maliki focused his praise on Iraqi troops and security forces for their role in fighting the insurgency. \"The national united government succeeded in putting down the sectarian war that was threatening the unity and the sovereignty of Iraq \" he said  as if the United States had played no role.\n President Barack Obama  who ran for office on a pledge to end the war  marked the occasion with minimal fanfare  declaring it \"an important milestone\" even as he warned of \"difficult days ahead.\"\n \"The Iraqi people are rightly treating this day as cause for celebration \" he said.\n The withdrawal did not command its own presidential appearance -- his brief remarks were delivered at a ceremony honoring entrepreneurs -- a marked contrast with his predecessor  who rarely missed an opportunity to celebrate milestones in Iraq.\n Military experts anticipate more violence in the days ahead. Maliki's effort to capitalize on Iraq's latent anti-Americanism and to extol the abilities of his troops is a risky strategy. If it turns out that Iraqi troops cannot control the violence  al-Maliki will be vulnerable to criticism from rivals -- both if he has to ask the Americans to return but also if he fails to enforce security without them.\n Some American commanders have said they were taken aback by al-Malikial-Maliki's insistence on taking credit for all the security successes in Iraq  but they also see the importance of having him and Iraqi troops appear strong  especially in the face of multiple insurgent factions intent on destabilizing the government.\n Gen.

Well  it’s now happened.  The great scandal of the modern Catholic Church  —  its  tolerance for clergy who abuse children  and  its  laxity when dealing with bishops who themselves tolerated or enabled priest-abusers — now touches directly on  the pope himself .\n It ’s worth laying out the timeline clearly. In 2015  Pope Francis appointed Juan Barros Madrid to the bishopric of Osorno  Chile. The appointment was met with local protests  among Catholics and non-Catholics who believed that Barros was implicated in the crimes of child sexual abuse committed by his friend Father Fernando Karadima  a prominent Chilean churchman who habitually kissed and fondled boys. In the days after the installation of Barros at Osono  Pope Francis told an archbishop that there was “no objective reason at all” to oppose the appointment. The Vatican’s own department governing these matters  the Congregation for Bishops  released a statement saying they had “carefully examined the prelate’s candidature and did not find objective reasons to preclude the appointment.”\nIn the months following the appointment   Pope Francis  became extremely dismissive of complaints. “Osorno suffers  yes  for silliness ”  the pope  said of the outrage in the media. “Think with your head  and do not be carried away by the noses of the leftists  who are the ones who put this thing together ” he added.\nA few weeks ago   Pope Francis ’s visit to Chile was marked by protests  and  the pope  continued  his  extremely brusque dismissal. “The day I see proof against Bishop Barros  then I will talk ” the pontiff said. “There is not a single piece of evidence against  him . It is all slander. Is that clear?”  Francis  said that no victims had come forward to  him . It was apparently this statement that caused Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston to scramble down to Chile and meet with the pope. After O’Malley’s intervention  presumably  the pope issued a half-apology  but repeated that the accusations against Barros were “slander” before adding  “I’m convinced he’s innocent.”\nAnd now the news drops. In the time between the pope’s appointment of Barros and his commentary about protesters being carried away by leftists  members of the Vatican’s own Commission for the Protection of Minors gathered to discuss the appointment. They had a representative hand-deliver a letter to Pope Francis  from Carlos Cruz. The letter alleged  in lurid detail  that Barros had personally witnessed the abuse of Cruz at Karadima’s hands. Members of the commission photographed the hand-off of the letter to  the pope   to reassure Cruz that they were doing everything possible to make his cry for justice heard.\nThe facts as we know them leave us with a few interpretations. 1)  Pope Francis  simply never read the letter  ignoring this extraordinary intervention by the Vatican’s own commission on a matter of public controversy for  his  pontificate. 2)  Francis  read the letter but forgot about it  reverting to  his  original understanding of the case. 3)  Francis  read the letter  but stuck to  his  decision for Barros  committing unintentional or intentional deceptions about the state of  his  knowledge of the accusations. 4)  He  read the letter  but either doubted the accusations in it  or at least found them so unimpressive that  he  did not decide to follow up on them.\nThe first explanation would mean that  Francis  was culpably ignorant. The second that  he  may lack the mental or moral faculties to competently govern the Catholic Church. The third that  he  is too stubborn or vain to change course in the face of evidence. And the last that  he  has little trust or faith in the Commission on the Protection of Minors to pass on credible counsel to  him .

But there’s tragedy  too. On November 7  2010   Mr. Douglas Poole  died in the Virginia Beach jail.  He  had spent ten days there after being arrested for driving with a suspended license.  Mr. Poole  suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure and had  his  medications with  him   but was denied both  his  blood pressure medication (and  initially   his  insulin) and medical treatment by jail and medical staff.  Douglas Poole  was 54 years old  the father of three and grandfather of five. The medical staff were employees of a for-profit medical care company  Conmed Health Management  which had been awarded the Virginia Beach contract by Ken Stolle in 2010 after donating to his campaign. Here’s a description of  Douglas Poole’s  suffering and death from the decision in the lawsuit filed by  his  sister.\n Plaintiff  has pleaded sufficient facts to show that jail employees may have violated plaintiff’s constitutional rights. Indeed  that  Mr. Poole  had known serious medical issues  that  he  was never provided  his  blood pressure medication  that  he  was turned away after complaining of headaches  sudden blindness  and an inability to walk  and that  his  care was so direly neglected that  he  ultimately died from lack of treatment may be sufficient to satisfy the low threshold of Rule 8(a)(2) in proving that jail staff acted indifferently toward  Mr. Poole’s  serious medical need.\nConmed  which according to the same legal decision had retained nearly all of the medical and nursing staff of the prior healthcare company  which itself had also come under scrutiny for providing sub-par medical care to inmates  ended up settling with the family out of court for $300 000. In 2011 and 2012  Conmed increased its annual donations from $1 000 to $2 500. That’s right   Douglas Poole ’s days of suffering and entirely preventable death did not cause Stolle to end the contract or refuse donations from Conmed.\nNow contrast the  Douglas Poole  tragedy with the crime of Kenneth Stolle  Jr.  Ken Stolle’s son and a Sheriff’s Deputy in Chesapeake. He was arrested for a DUI hit-and-run in Virginia Beach and got off with a $250 fine.

Cruz ?\" \nCruz , asked if he interacts enough with constituents , said : \"In 2017 , I 've done 17 town halls\" in Texas . \nCruz replied : \"That is a huge part of the job . \nA 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 .\" \nCruz , a Republican poised to seek re-election in 2018 , hardly has a reputation of avoiding attention . \nNovack 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 .\" \nThe 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 . \nThe veterans group , per the chart , hosted Cruz at July events in McKinney , Austin and Houston . \nBy 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 . \nFellinger 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 . \nCruz 's office lists 19 events . \nNext , we confirmed from press releases , news stories and video snippets that Cruz made the appearances described in the Novack-provided chart . \nEvents in bold on the chart below were open to reporters , Phil Novack , a spokesman for Sen. Ted Cruz , said . \nSOURCE : Chart provided by email from Phil Novack , press secretary to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz , Sept. 28 , 2017 . \nWe 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 . \nExperts evaluate Cruz 's claim . \nNext , 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 .\" \nIt seems these town halls are open only to the people from the sections of ` town ' that support Ted Cruz . \nIn 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 .\" \nMark 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 . \nBut 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 . \nJohn 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 . \nCruz 's claim \"strikes me as dubious ,\" Gastil summed up .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz ?

Catalan President Carles Puigdemont  said  he  favored mediation to find a way out of the crisis but that Spain’s central government had rejected this.

We have received various offers in the last hours and we will receive more.”\nWithout specifically mentioning plans for an independence declaration   he  added: ”I am sure that in the next few days we will show the best of our country when the institutions of Catalonia will have to apply the results of the referendum.\nPrime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s government replied that  Puigdemont  had wasted an opportunity to put Catalonia back on a legal course. “If  Mr. Puigdemont  wants to talk or negotiate  or wants to send mediators   he  knows perfectly well what  he  must do first: Return to the path of the law ” it said in a statement.\n Puigdemont  criticized Spain’s King Felipe VI who on Tuesday lambasted the “irresponsible behavior” of the Catalan leaders.\n He  said  the king  had disappointed many people in Catalonia by failing to call for dialogue and  he  accused King Felipe of endorsing the policies of Rajoy  which  he  said had been “catastrophic” for Catalonia.\nCatalan Regional President Carles Puigdemont gestures as  he  makes an statement at Generalitat Palace in Barcelona  Spain  October 4  2017.

But Madrid had little interest in any exercise of Catalan self-determination. In a speech Sunday evening   Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy  pinned the blame for what happened on Catalan secessionists  who engineered the confrontation by staging what Madrid deems an illegal vote. “Today there has not been a self-determination referendum in Catalonia ”  Rajoy  declared. “The rule of law remains in force with all its strength.”\nBut although  Rajoy  thwarted the immediate prospect of independence   he  — not  his  Catalan opponents — looks like the day's big loser.  His  government took a heavy-handed line with Catalonia's secessionists in the buildup to the vote  and  Rajoy  is being slammed by opponents both inside Catalonia and elsewhere for making a mess of the proceedings.\n “Rajoy  faces an extraordinarily difficult task.  He  is adamant that it is  his  government’s fundamental duty to uphold the law and preserve the integrity of the Spanish state ” wrote Tony Barber of the Financial Times. “Yet the police’s use on Sunday of batons and rubber bullets to disrupt the referendum risks deepening the confrontation and putting off the moment when Madrid and the Catalonian authorities sit down to find a way out of the impasse.”\nCritics say  Rajoy 's own right-wing nationalist politics made it impossible to deal with Catalan secessionists  a coalition of pro-independence factions who came to power in 2015 regional elections and swiftly signaled their intent to stage the referendum. From the outset   Rajoy  treated their aspirations as both illegal and intolerable.\n Rajoy  probably has little time for Puigdemont's proclamation.  The prime minister  built  his  political reputation in the mid-2000s by fiercely opposing a Catalan charter for greater autonomy  which a Socialist government in Madrid at the time had agreed to and was later ratified by a referendum in Catalonia. In 2010  a Spanish constitutional court struck down a series of key provisions in that charter  based on an appeal filed by  Rajoy 's center-right People's Party. That  in turn  kicked off Catalan rumblings toward independence.\nBut  Rajoy  is also on rocky ground in Madrid  where  he  presides over a fragile  minority government in parliament.\nPablo Iglesias  leader of the left-wing Podemos party  tweeted against the “repressive strategy” of  Rajoy  and his allies  warning that it has “deteriorated democracy and coexistence [in Spain] to unprecedented limits.” Pedro Sánchez of the center-left Socialists called for political negotiations and seemed to blame  Rajoy  for not seeking talks earlier  saying that “doing nothing is the worst way of solving any problem.”\nNow  though  the political conversation is far more polarized. A tense standoff is in the cards in the coming weeks  with the possibility of further protests and mass strikes rocking Catalonia.  Rajoy  will have to own the crisis  and  his  opponents already have one idea of how  he  should do so.\n“ He  is a coward who does not live up to  his  state responsibilities ” said Ada Colau  Barcelona's mayor. “As a result   he  must resign.”", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . \nIn the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . \nIs it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? \nOr do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? \nCruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . \nLee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . \nIn his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him \"more courageously or indispensably\" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . \nWhen Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . \nCruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . \nCruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . \nEssentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . \nLee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . \nLee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . \nThe bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . \nToday , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . \nAnd while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . \nAnother telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . \nAs McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . \nTo Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . \nCruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . \nAt a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . \nWhen he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . \nIn my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . \nAs Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : \"You just do n't do that . \nAnother criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . \nCruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . \nIn Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . \nBut a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . \nBut the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . \nYou can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . \nBut what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? \nThe Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . \nCarpenter said Cruz had sent a message . \nCruz has shown that one person can make a difference .\" \nBut as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz ?

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.\n 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.\n 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.\n 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.\"", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Alice ?

Arnold Wilkins  left  and Geoff Cole  right  hope to show that an aversion to objects such as lotus seedpods can be seen as a phobia with an evolutionary basis. (Roger Deeble)\nDuring an introductory psychology course at Britain’s University of Essex in 2009   Arnold Wilkins  asked  his  class to participate in a quick experiment.  Wilkins  projected two images on a wall and asked students to write down whether they found either of them disturbing. One was a photograph of a woody landscape. The other was a close-up of a lotus-flower seedpod — a flat-faced pod pocked with small holes. Most of the students were unmoved  but one  freshman An Le  recalls being both transfixed and revolted by the lotus image. “It felt like I was in shock ”  he  says.\n Le  is far from alone in  his  response. Thousands of people claim to suffer trypophobia  a term derived from the Greek “trypo ” which means punching  drilling or boring holes. It refers to an irrational fear of clusters of small holes  such as beehives  ant holes and even bubbles in a pancake on the griddle or air pockets in a chocolate bar.\nIn a separate experiment  the pair showed people slide shows of various images and monitored their brain activity via functional MRI scans. “You get an abnormally high response with the trypophobic images ”  Wilkins  says. “It’s like these poisonous things are warning us that they’re poisonous ” Cole says. Trypophobic patterns  such as those that can be found on the skin of snakes and spiders  are indicative of poisonous predators  and some people are especially primed to respond to that.  Wilkins  and Cole hope to soon figure out why.\n Wilkins  and Cole concede that it’s too soon to draw major conclusions from their findings. For now  they are outlining a desensitization regimen whereby trypophobes gradually expose themselves to more disturbing imagery as a way to overcome their anxieties   Wilkins  says. “But it probably won’t be possible to remove the uncomfortableness altogether.”", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Berlusconi's forces had pushed the legislation through parliament last summer  saying it was necessary for the government to function.\n At the time the bill was passed  Berlusconi was on trial on corruption charges in Milan  fueling criticism that the bill was tailor-made to save him from prosecution.

He has either been acquitted -- sometimes thanks to laws passed by his own government -- or seen cases against him expire under the statute of limitations.

It's a twisted political world.\n As Pelosi noted in her citation of Reagan's friendship with one of her predecessors as speaker -- Thomas P. \"Tip\" O'Neill  a proud lion of New Deal liberalism -- there is something special  something very American  about transcending partisanship on a human level  and of respecting ideological differences.

HARWICH - Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke  acknowledging that failures in oversight contributed to a near-catastrophic financial crisis  yesterday called on Congress to enact comprehensive changes that he said would close gaps in regulation  prevent future bailouts  and create a council of top regulators to identify risks to the nation's financial system.\n Bernanke  speaking at the annual conference of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank  said the Fed has already taken a number of steps to improve supervision of banks  expanding its focus from individual institutions to include stability of the financial system. In addition  it has taken steps to crack down on risky practices  including issuing guidelines to banks to overhaul bonus systems that may spur employees to take excessive risks.\n Ultimately  however  Congress must act  Bernanke said. The nation needs a way to deal with the failure of large  complex financial institutions without putting the entire system at risk or bailing them out with taxpayer money. It needs to bring all financial institutions under rigorous federal oversight. And it needs to coordinate information and action among US financial regulators to identify and prevent threats to financial stability  he said.\n \"It remains critical for Congress to close regulatory gaps and provide supervisors with additional tools for anticipating and managing systemic risks \" Bernanke said in prepared remarks. \"Large  complex financial firms that do not own a bank  but nonetheless pose risks to the overall financial system  must not be permitted to avoid comprehensive and effective supervisory oversight.\"\n Bernanke was the keynote speaker at a three-day conference sponsored by the Boston Fed. The conference  entitled \"After the Fall \" brought together business and academic economists to explore ways to prevent another financial crisis like the one that edged the US and global economies toward another depression.\n Bernanke said aggressive and coordinated international efforts by central banks and governments had averted a collapse in the global financial and economic systems. Conditions have improved substantially in recent months  he said.\n \"However  even though we avoided the worst financial and economic outcomes  the fallout from the crisis has nonetheless been very severe \" he said. \"Now is the time for policy makers to take action to reduce the probability and severity of future crises.\"", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Freddie Freddie ?

Officials don't plan to release details until next year. But Michael Barr  an assistant Treasury secretary  told the panel Wednesday that Fannie and Freddie \"will not exist in the same form as they did in the past.\"\n Republicans have seized on the administration's management of Fannie and Freddie to illustrate Democrats' push for broadening the reach of the federal government.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is urging Congress and the Obama administration to start plotting a strategy to curb record-high U.S. budget deficits. Failing to do so could eventually erode investor confidence and endanger the economy's prospects for long-term health  he said.\n Bernanke said that such forceful government intervention to fight the worst financial crisis since the 1930s and lift the U.S. out of recession was \"necessary and appropriate\" even though it worsened the nation's budget deficit.\n Bernanke acknowledged that Congress and the administration face \"formidable near-term challenges\" that must be addressed as they take steps to stabilize the financial system  reduce home foreclosures and spur banks to lend more freely. The success of these efforts will be crucial to turning the economy around.\n Bernanke cautioned: \"Unless we demonstrate a strong commitment to fiscal sustainability in the longer term  we will have neither financial stability nor healthy economic growth.\"\n With the recovery likely to be subdued  inflation will remain low  Bernanke predicted. Some worry that the Fed's aggressive efforts -- including buying billions worth of government bonds -- to revive the economy could sow the seeds of inflation.\n \"I respectfully disagree with her views \" Bernanke said  adding that he is \"comfortable\" with the Fed's actions.\n Bernanke didn't offer specific recommendations on what steps they should take to bring the deficits under control.\n Observing the recent rise in rates on mortgages and longer-term Treasury securities  Bernanke said the increases appear to reflect concerns about large federal deficits as well as greater optimism about the economic outlook. That's a reversal in a pattern seen in the depths of the recession of investors flocking to safe havens.\n Bernanke cited improvements in credit markets  but again warned that a relapse could hurt the economy's recovery prospects. He also said that banks are meeting with some success in raising capital in private markets  suggesting greater investor confidence in the banking system.\n Bernanke repeated his belief that the recession will end this year  and that the economy will start growing again later this year. But he again warned that the pace of the recovery will be slow and that unemployment -- now at a quarter-century peak of 8.9 percent -- will rise even after the recession ends.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

She  gave birth to  her  daughter  Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.  on Sept. 1  and then spent six weeks in bed because of serious complications from childbirth.  She  did not resume practicing until December.\n Williams  officially returned to professional tennis on Feb. 11 by playing a Fed Cup doubles match with  her  sister Venus against the Netherlands. They were beaten  6-2  6-3  by Lesley Kerkhove and Demi Schuurs after the United States had already clinched the victory in the first-round matchup.\n Williams  looked rusty at that event  as  she  did in an exhibition against Jelena Ostapenko in late December.  Williams  also played in the Tie Break Tens exhibition at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.\nAfter more than a year away from the tour   Williams  has no official ranking. If  she  defeats the 53rd-ranked Diyas   she  would face No. 29 seed Kiki Bertens in the second round  with  her  sister Venus a possible third-round opponent.\nIn an interview with WTATennis.com   Williams ’s coach  Patrick Mouratoglou  said: “The plan is to get back to  her  best level.  She  has been practicing hard for that  and competition is part of the process.  She  needs more than anything to compete and that is why  she  will plan to play Indian Wells and Miami.\n“We do not know how much time  she  will need to get  her  best level back  and I think that we should give  her  the necessary time for that without having too much expectations at the start.”\nHe added that  her  target was to win Grand Slam titles and that he expected Williams to be back to  her  best by the French Open in May.\nThe Indian Wells tournament also marks the return of Victoria Azarenka.  She  has not played a tour event since Wimbledon last July.  She  has decided not to play outside of California  where  she  lives  until a custody dispute over  her  son  Leo  is resolved. Azarenka  now ranked 204th  will face Heather Watson in the first round  and with a win  would play 13th-seeded Sloane Stephens in the second round.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

It was the Justice Department.\nHANNITY: But what is raising the most eyebrows is the argument that  Holder  made as lead attorney in the ongoing civil case against Chiquita.\nAccording to court documents  Holder  wanted the case dismissed  because  quote  \"There is no clearly defined rule of international law prohibiting material support of terrorism.\"\nHANNITY: And even some  Holder  critics say  his  argument may actually hold up.\nANDY MCCARTHY  NATIONAL REVIEW CONTRIBUTOR:  He 's not saying that terrorism doesn't exist or that there's not a definition under American law of terrorism.  He 's saying that there is not a universally recognized material support to terrorism claim that can be brought under that civil statute.\n Holder  had already been mired in controversy stemming from  his  involvement in President Clinton's last-minute pardons  and just last week the highest ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee suggested that as deputy attorney general under Bill Clinton  he  was all too willing to do the president's bidding.\nHANNITY: Confirmation hearings are set to begin on Thursday  so will  Eric Holder's representation of Chiquita  a company guilty of funding terrorists   raise questions about  his  fitness to be the top law man in this country?", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Charles Rangel ?

A potent and lethal dose of propofol was the likely factor that induced the death of  pop king Michael Jackson  his personal doctor Conrad Murray told the authorities  the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.\n In a search warrant affidavit declassified in Houston  Murray told the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) that he had kept giving Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol every night for about six weeks in an effort to treat his insomnia.\n Fearing an addiction was taking root in Jackson  Murray began to wean him off the drug by reducing the daily dosage by half and mixing it with two other sedatives  lorazepam and midazolam. From June 23 on  he administered only two medications excluding the propofol.\n Two days later  Murray tried to help Jackson go into sleep  also without using propofol.

He performed Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation  and one of Jackson's aide called 911  but to no avail.

Chinese President  Xi Jinping  claps while addressing the media as  he  introduces new members of the Politburo Standing Committee at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People on Oct 25. (Ng Han Guan/AP)\nChina’s constitution is set to drop the two-term limit for president  allowing  Xi Jinping  to extend  his  rule beyond 2023. Here are three things to know about Xi’s increasingly personal rule:\n1.  Xi  has broken a decades-old norm of collective rule\nDeng Xiaoping  the Chinese leader who spearheaded reform after Mao passed  spoke against personal rule in 1980: “Over-concentration of power is liable to give rise to arbitrary rule by individuals at the expense of collective leadership.” Most China watchers expected  Xi  to follow  his  predecessor Hu Jintao’s example and rule for only 10 years  but now there is consensus that  Xi  will stay on after this period.\n [ Xi Jinping  just made  it  clear where China’s foreign policy is headed ]\nIn China  Xi packed key government positions with  his  supporters while purging rivals.  He  also created significant new organizations  such as small leadership groups  that  he  controls to circumvent rival power centers. With these latest constitutional changes   he  has rigged the game in  his  favor  too. The Chinese Communist Party is a massive and powerful organization  but increasingly it is an institution ruled by just one man   Xi Jinping.\nBeyond this  Xi has initiated a substantial anti-corruption campaign that has gone after tens of thousands of officials at all levels  including retired top leaders such as Zhou Yongkang. Some targets no doubt were  Xi  rivals  but there is good reason to believe that the Communist Party’s pervasive corruption had become a major source of economic and political risk.\nEven if  Xi  is interested in the party and the broader regime rather than  his  own aggrandizement  going after top-level retirees broke a norm of exemption. This makes it difficult for  Xi  to retire  as  he  could become a target given  his  family’s wealth — despite their efforts to shed assets.\nTo be sure  the proposed constitutional revisions do not stop at allowing  Xi  a third term. They call for inclusion of a reference to “core socialist values ” a “public oath of allegiance to the constitution” for state officials upon assuming office  and for listing a supervision commission as a new state organ.\nThese changes are evidence that power is centralizing in Beijing — in addition to being concentrated in  Xi . Local government officials enjoyed relatively free rein for much of the post-Mao period as long as the economy grew and tax revenue came in. But the central government increasingly is investing in its monitoring capacity and offering a rhetoric of governing morally with a mix of Confucian and Communist Party virtues.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hu Jintao ?

Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . \nIn the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . \nIs it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? \nOr do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? \nCruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . \nLee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . \nIn his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him \"more courageously or indispensably\" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . \nWhen Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . \nCruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . \nCruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . \nEssentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . \nLee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . \nLee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . \nThe bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . \nToday , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . \nAnd while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . \nAnother telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . \nAs McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . \nTo Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . \nCruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . \nAt a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . \nWhen he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . \nIn my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . \nAs Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : \"You just do n't do that . \nAnother criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . \nCruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . \nIn Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . \nBut a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . \nBut the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . \nYou can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . \nBut what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? \nThe Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . \nCarpenter said Cruz had sent a message . \nCruz has shown that one person can make a difference .\" \nBut as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Former secretary of  state Hillary Clinton  speaks to and meets voters in Allendale  Mich.  on Nov. 7  2016. (Melina Mara/The Washington Post)\nHow do you write a primal scream? Because my head is about to explode over the story about alleged sexual harassment on  Hillary Clinton’s  2008 presidential campaign and  her  appallingly mild response  then and now.\nTo recap  while we were still reeling from the report that President Trump ordered the firing of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III last summer  the New York Times posted this: “Hillary Clinton Chose to Shield a Top Adviser Accused of Harassment in 2008.”\nAccording to the Times’ Maggie Haberman and Amy Chozick  Burns Strider   Clinton’s  faith adviser — yes  faith adviser  you can’t make this stuff up — was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young woman with whom he shared a campaign office. The Times: “ She  told a campaign official that Mr. Strider had rubbed  her  shoulders inappropriately  kissed  her  on the forehead and sent  her  a string of suggestive emails.”\nThe campaign’s response? Campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle recommended that Strider be fired. So did Jess O’Connell  the national director of operations  who handled the investigation. And  Clinton  herself? Not so much  apparently. The young woman  not identified in the story  was moved to a different job. Strider — then married  by the way — was “docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling.” Which  predictably  he never attended.\nAnd  even more predictably  when he was hired years later to oversee an independent group backing  Clinton’s  second presidential campaign  “He was fired after several months for workplace issues  including allegations that he harassed a young female aide  according to three people close to Correct the Record’s management.”\nThis is head-exploding stuff  but there’s worse to come. Because now — now  after Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo and Roy Moore — this was Hillary Clinton’s belated response  in its bland totality: “A story appeared today about something that happened in 2008. I was dismayed when it occurred  but was heartened the young woman came forward  was heard  and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.”\nAnd classically  infuriatingly  this episode and its aftermath exposes  once again  the trademark Clinton failure to take personal responsibility; the allergy to owning up to error; the refusal to cede any ground  no less apologize; the incessant double-standarding  with different  more forgiving rules for the Clintons and their loyalists.

Insecure’s Nuanced Take on Singleness Part of the revolution of modern female characters involves dismantling this idea of “likability.” She’s Gotta Have It succeeds there; at times Darling is definitely not likable. But the show makes it seem as though any criticisms of Darling are due to the fact that she embraces her sexuality and has multiple partners—and I don’t really buy it. Some of the discontinuity in Darling’s storyline feels like a failure to successfully imagine the inner motivations  ideas  and emotions of a modern young woman. Part of the flaw here is that  Lee ’s relying too heavily on the framework  he  created for the character three decades ago. Green: Yes  Gillian! Darling calls the men in her life out for thinking they know the “real her” when they’re only dating their own contrived visions of her. The irony is  Darling ends up coming off like a middle-aged man’s off-pitch interpretation of a millennial black feminist. The way she lists her rules of engagement—only sex in her “loving bed ” seeing each man no more than twice a week and never two in one day  etc.—gives an impression that she’s playing for sport instead of living in the liberation she tells others about.\nShe breaks the fourth wall in many uncomfortable monologues throughout the season  which I’d hoped would be a vehicle to get inside her head; but like most of the women in the show  Darling never becomes fully three-dimensional. It’s not surprising then  that in a show mainly about juggling three men  the only dialogue that has depth and advances the storyline comes from Darling’s interactions with the other women in the show: her three girlfriends  a woman that she’s also seeing (Opal)  and her therapist. David  Lee  / Netflix Mock: I remember the first time I saw the original movie and how it blew my mind. I didn’t see it when it first came out in 1986. I saw it in ’89 or 1990  after I saw Do the Right Thing  which made me want to find anything else  Lee  had done  besides the Jordan commercials and the Anita Baker video. But  yeah  I think we forget how revolutionary Darling’s character was—not as a black character  but just as a character  period. At that age  I had no ideas about the sexual agency of women  or what polyamory was; these terms weren’t part of the mainstream lexicon. Remember  misogyny was on the come up during that era of hip hop (’86 to ’91) . Many of the guys I grew up with were heavily influenced by rappers like Too Short  Big Daddy Kane  LL Cool J  N.W.A.  and 2 Live Crew  which is to say we were getting a pretty unhealthy education about male-female relationships. I loved how  Lee  flipped that entire dynamic on its head with She’s Gotta Have It  and we needed to see that. But to your point  Gillian  I’m not sure the TV series did much to advance contemporary ideas about the relationships explored in the ’86 movie. I think that’s why  Lee  felt the need to flesh out the narrative with this whole gentrification thread.\nWhite: Definitely. Part of the problem is that what made Darling such an innovative character in the 1980s isn’t what makes her so compelling now. And I fully agree with you  Adrienne: The moments where we see Darling undergoing the most growth and becoming most self-aware are all related to women. In addition to Opal  and her therapist  I’d add her boss  Raqueletta Moss to the mix. Serwer: To go off your points about Insecure  Gillian and Adrienne  one of Spike’s issues here is that the artists  he  helped influence are actually better at this now than  he  is. Which is what’s supposed to happen! Even if it’s not something Spike would like to hear. White: I think that’s exactly right. Serwer: I found myself most roped in when the show was lingering on Darling and her issues in the art world (the satire of which is funny and brutal)  and less so when it was focusing on the love triangle (rectangle?) the original film was centered on. Of her suitors  I found Mars Blackmon the most likable and relatable  in part because he feels like the underdog in a situation that involves a wealthy Wall Street type and a French-speaking model. Also  Anthony Ramos is really good at inhabiting the character. White: I was scared about how the character of Mars (originally played by  Lee ) would translate  but in the end he was one of the highlights of the show and unquestionably the male suitor who was best folded into the present day. Ramos did such a fantastic job of keeping Mars’s spirit of absurdity and geekiness while making him feel fresh and original. As for the other suitors  I found Greer and Jamie difficult to stomach—and not just because they’re supposed to be obnoxious. Both characters seem to be relics of the 1980s in dress  in attitude  and in their assumptions about their place in society  and Darling’s.\nIn a world where talking  hanging out  and hooking up are all far more common in your early 20s (especially in big cities)  the idea that Greer and Jamie would spend so much of their time inquiring about the other men Darling is dating feels a little unbelievable. Also the types of men that Jamie and Greer are meant to portray—generalized archetypes of a desirable guy—don’t even work for the present moment. Jamie’s stuffy  wealthy  older  finance-dad vibe  and certainly Greer’s light-skinned  light-eyed  cultured  model vibe went out of style in the ’90s  and they should’ve been left there. Serwer: Greer and Jamie are really insufferable  and more than Mars  they’re stereotypes: The first suitor is a project kid-gone-Wall Street who still has ties to the drug game (slash a cheating husband in a midlife crisis). The second is a tragic mulatto who literally has a line about how he doesn’t want to choose between one identity or the other. That stuff was played out when I was a teenager. I wonder  Gillian  if the characters simply weren’t rescuable from the time and place they were created (and maybe Mars was  in part because if anything  black geeks are more visible in pop culture now than they used to be). Also light-skinned men are definitely not out of style  shout out to my Blewish brother Drake (or is he canceled? I’m old and can’t keep track). Mock: As Adrienne said  it was the scenes shared between the women that were most rich. I honestly could have taken a She’s Gotta Have It sans the male characters from the original altogether—maybe keep Mars Blackmon  but only because he’s so iconic. It is weird  though  that for a movie/TV show that is supposed to be essentially about a woman  the character it’s most remembered for is a guy  Mars Blackmon. He’s the only character who has benefited from the marketing of the movie over the past few decades. We didn’t even know where Tracy Camilla Johns (the original Nola Darling) disappeared to  until she made that cameo in the new version. David  Lee  / Netflix Of course  there’s the theory that none of these characters are to be taken as literal people  but rather as the multiple shades of Brooklyn. The male characters could be seen as metaphors for the parts of Brooklyn that aspire toward Manhattan-like wealth and prestige (Jamie)  the parts that are straight blacktops and hip hop (Mars)  and the parts that are that whole metro-self-fellatio-sexual part of NYC that really began blossoming in the ’80s (Greer).\nWhite: For sure  but I’d argue those aren’t even representative of Brooklyn in this moment. Brooklyn is not the Brooklyn of the ’80s or ’90s (so  Lee  keeps reminding us). Mock: On another note  I’m thankful that they got rid of the rape scene from the movie. I think the transition to dealing with sexual harassment and assault in the streets was the show’s strongest material  especially as it bled into Darling’s art work  which helped solve some of her financial problems. The personal became political then became personal again. Serwer: I think part of the reason why that subplot is so strong is that it’s based on a work called Stop Telling Women to Smile by the artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh  who was also a consultant on the show. Fazlalizadeh put up a series of posters around Brooklyn with similar anti–street harassment messages she drew from women she interviewed about their experiences. Green: Spike’s long talked about regretting that rape scene (and as recently as November). I agree  Brentin  that the show did a really good job of making sexual trauma an undercurrent without visually exploiting female characters—from the street-art campaign to Darling’s art student replacing Lil’ Kim with herself on the Hard Core album cover for a school assignment. With the “free black female form” as its thematic throughline  the show subtly deals with sex and trauma  complicating the idea of autonomy and who has access to it.\nWhite: I think that the use of Raqueletta Moss  and her story of abuse as a child and how she overcame it  was a clever way to explicitly deal with the subject without  as Adrienne suggested  having to resort to exploitative rape scenes. Also  Moss’s decision to take Darling on as a mentee  despite having witnessed her immaturity at work  was one of my favorite developments. That relationship  between those two black women  felt organic and important. Serwer: I liked the Moss character in part because I can remember teachers pulling me aside and giving me that kind of blunt real-talk lecture about how bad life can get  in order to keep you from dealing with things they had to deal with or saw other people deal with. The character’s past isn’t what you’d call original  but again it’s rescued by a strong performance by the actress  De’Adre Aziza. David  Lee  / Netflix White: Before we wrap this  we need to talk about that wild butt-implant narrative involving one of Darling’s closest friends  Shemekka. This storyline was alternately framed as a comedy and a serious commentary on the way society values women. But ultimately I thought it presented some pretty major problems for the plot and the show’s portrayal of women. Mock: I’m not quite sure what they were going for with that thread.

Both parties are requesting the case go to trial.\nMost plagiarism cases are tough to prove  and this one is made harder by both the lack of evidence and lack of copyright protections available for most of the instances of alleged plagiarism cited by Reetz-Laiolo. So why file the complaint at all? The initial 15-page letter first sent to  Cline  in February 2017 by Reetz-Laiolo's law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP might hold a clue: “We believe [. . .] that it may be fruitful to engage in a confidential negotiation or mediation to determine whether our clients can reach a resolution with you rather than file our complaint ” the letter states.  Cline 's argument doesn't mince words when concluding what the fruitful resolution that interests Reetz-Laiolo could turn out to be  stating his actions were \"undoubtedly in the hope of a financial windfall.\"\nOne element that both parties can agree on:  Cline  did install spyware on  her  computer. According to  her  complaint   she  installed it while they were together because Reetz-Laiolo used it and  she  wanted to confirm his infidelity. Reetz-Laiolo's argument that  she  tracked his email address after selling him the laptop in 2013  after they were no longer together  hinges on the assumption that  she  somehow updated this software to allow  her  to remotely access it.\nDavid Boies  the founder of the Boies Schiller Flexner firm  was named as an attorney in the February 2017 letter to  Cline   according to a New Yorker article on the firm  though his name does not appear in the complaint filed by Reetz-Laiolo.

There is no such issue as unification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

It is wrong to say that Taiwan's future would be jointly decided by people on both sides of the strait.\n Most threatening  is that Ma thinks  Taiwan  has resisted unification because \"conditions are not ripe...We don't even know each other that well.\"\n Ma must remember that as a popularly elected president  he is obligated to defend Taiwan's national security and sovereignty.

Come fall   Matt Patricia   with pencil tucked firmly behind  his  ear  is likely going to be patrolling some NFL sideline as a head coach. But where?\nThe New England Patriots defensive coordinator  the hottest name among assistant coaches expected to move up  is moving toward becoming the next coach of the Detroit Lions  according to ESPN in news that is likely to disappoint New York Giants fans.  Patricia   43  and the Lions  however  still have to agree on contract details  something that under NFL rules cannot be done until the Patriots' season ends. New England advanced to the AFC championship game next weekend with a victory Saturday night over Tennessee.\n Patricia  would be joining Bob Quinn  who formerly worked for the Patriots and is now the Lions general manager.\nAs for the Giants  they'll be in a bit of a pickle if  Patricia  ends up in Detroit. They're also eyeing Josh McDaniels  the Patriots' offensive coordinator  and Pat Shurmur  the Minnesota Vikings' offensive coordinator. McDaniels has emerged as the top choice to replace Chuck Pagano with the Indianapolis Colts  according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport  and Shurmur is believed to be the top choice of the Arizona Cardinals after the retirement of Bruce Arians. Like  Patricia   McDaniels and Shurmur cannot finalize contracts until after their teams' seasons end. Shurmur's Vikings play the Saints in a divisional-round game Sunday afternoon.\nDetroit might be the most comfortable landing spot for  Patricia   given  his  penchant for tweaking NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Better for  him  to not to be just across the river from the NFL's Park Avenue headquarters after wearing a Deflategate T-shirt depicting Goodell as a clown after the Patriots won Super Bowl LI last February.\n\"I think  Matt  is a great leader.  He 's got a great personality and  he  works  his  tail off \" Tom Brady told the New York Daily News on Saturday night. \" He 's got a tremendous amount of respect from all the players. Just a great coach. I love  Matt .\"\nAlthough  he  had a much ballyhooed sideline argument with McDaniels during a game last fall  Brady has since apologized.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Devin Hester ? As much as  Devin Hester  altered the ways opponents schemed for the Bears on special teams before the end of  his  rookie season  Dave Toub had a feeling one thing wouldn’t change in Super Bowl XLI.\n Hester  fielded Adam Vinatieri’s kick to the left of the numbers  cut to the middle of the field  caught a key block from Brendon Ayanbadejo  and turned on the burners. Ninety-two yards and 14 seconds later  the Bears led the Colts 7-0.\nColts coach Tony Dungy recounted a funny story on “The Dan Patrick Show ” how the Colts planned all week to kick away from  Hester . The morning of the game  Dungy decided that would be playing scared and he didn’t want to do that.\n“I told the team I hope we lose the toss because if we do  we're going to kick it right down the middle to  Hester  ” Dungy said. “We’re going to pound him. Then  they know we’ve taken their best threat. They're going to be finished.”\n Hester  took everyone’s best for 11 seasons  and on Tuesday  he  made  his  retirement official  posting on Instagram: “Good news: Commissioner Goodell  you can put the kickoff back at the 30. Bad news: Y'all will have to find a new favorite returner.”\n Hester   35  last played for the Seahawks in the playoffs last season  returning kickoffs 78 and 50 yards in a divisional-round loss to the Falcons. He holds NFL records with 20 return touchdowns and 14 punt return touchdowns. All but one happened with  Hester  wearing a Bears uniform. He was a three-time first-team All-Pro and a four-time Pro Bowl selection.\nThe answer should be a resounding yes  even though it has been difficult for special teams performers to pry open the doors in Canton. Ray Guy became the first punter to be selected in 2014  28 years after he retired. Morten Andersen and Jan Stenerud are the only kickers in the Hall of Fame. Guy and Stenerud revolutionized their positions  and the same can be said for  Hester .\n Hester  did more than score touchdowns.  He  affected the game in every possible way. The Bears were consistently among the league leaders in average starting field position because of Hester’s returns and the variety of ways opponents tried to avoid  Hester  with bloop kicks  squibs and kickoffs out of bounds  the last of which would put the Bears in business on their own 40-yard line.\n“They talk about Hall of Famers being guys that changed the game ” Toub said. “ Devin  changed the game  and all that stuff was huge. The sustainability  that is the key too. They knew what was coming. They knew what  Devin  was and  he  still was able to do it year after year.”\nJaguars special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis  who coached  Hester  in 2013  said: “People studied and studied and studied to find out how you stopped  Devin Hester . That’s definitely a game-changer.”\n Hester  ran back a punt for a touchdown in the first game of  his  rookie season in 2006 in Green Bay. Five weeks later  he  had one during the “Monday Night Miracle” in Arizona. Four weeks after that   he  returned a missed field-goal attempt 108 yards for a touchdown against the Giants. A star was born.  Hester  had 12 return touchdowns after  his  first two seasons.\nToub was quick to credit general manager Jerry Angelo and coach Lovie Smith for investing a second-round pick in  Hester  at a time when return specialists were only late-round considerations.\n“Nobody thought that way ” Toub said. “They end up taking  Devin  and now everybody has to have a returner. It’s a normal thing now  if a guy has great return skills  that will kick him up one or two rounds in the draft because everybody has to have that special guy because of  Devin . That’s another way he changed the game. Everybody has got to have that special returner  and everyone has to have the gunners. It moved special teams to another level  the focus on special teams and how important they are and how they can affect the game.”\n“They were talking about changing rules because of  Devin  and what he did ” Toub said.\nThat’s another reason  Hester  will get real consideration for the Hall of Fame  along with the simple fact that when a team was kicking to Hester  everyone stopped to watch.  He  could score any time the ball was in  his  hands.  He ’s the best threat there has ever been.\nDevin Hester retires: 'Hopefully next time I see y'all it’ll be in Canton' »", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

The more I hear about Quentin Tarantino's “Charles Manson movie ” now titled Once Upon A Time In Hollywood  the more intriguing it sounds. The film is reportedly similar to Tarantino's beloved masterpiece  Pulp Fiction  and revolves around a fading actor (Leo DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Brad Pitt) in seventies Hollywood  struggling to adapt to the changing industry.\nBut the two also happen to live next door to real-life murder victim Sharon Tate  and it’s unclear how the film will handle this delicate subject matter -  Tarantino  isn’t exactly known for his sense of restraint.\nIndeed   Tarantino  has to navigate some rough waters in order to make this inherently controversial concept a success  in the era of perpetual Twitter outrage. We live in a time where snarky entertainment writers like  myself  are always looking for the next controversy  be it real or imagined. For example  the groundbreaking Black Panther was recently criticized for a lack of LGBT representation  for some reason  and Netflix was accused of whitewashing for casting Jared Leto in the role of a western man entering the unfamiliar world of the Yakuza  in a film literally titled  “The Outsider.”\nBut  Tarantino ’s filmography has always attracted controversy.  His  scripts are peppered with more racial slurs than pop culture references  smatterings of misogynistic violence and a ton of historical revisionism. But Once Upon A Time In Hollywood practically seems to be begging for controversy -  he ’s not the first filmmaker to retell the gruesome tale of Sharon Tate  but releasing  his  film on the anniversary of her death is a bit … gratuitous  even for Tarantino.\nBut I have a strong suspicion that  Tarantino  is going to go down the “revenge fantasy” route for this one. When exploring the atrocities of history  the man gleefully paints over the facts  splashing the screen with the blood of slaveholders and Nazis. This (inevitably) angers some  but  Tarantino  isn’t exactly striving for historical accuracy.\nMost of us are aware of the tragic realities of history  but you’re not always in the mood to watch The Pianist - most of us would rather watch Inglourious Basterds for the fifth time. Despite repeatedly targeting the most distasteful subject matter imaginable   Tarantino  has always understood exactly how far  he  can push  his  audience.\nAnd that’s one of the most impressive qualities of  Tarantino ’s movies  in my opinion.  His  films might feature rape  torture  and exceedingly bloody murder  but you could happily watch one while snacking and never lose your appetite for a moment  because the violence never crosses a certain line;  his  bloodsoaked cinematic universe is closer to Looney Tunes than torture porn.\nTarantino's personal life  on the other hand  might be the biggest obstacle facing the film. The man was recently hit with a wave of much-deserved criticism  after Uma Thurman exposed his tyrannical  reckless behavior on the set of Kill Bill. The story does not paint  Tarantino  in a sympathetic light  and  his  long friendship with the predatory Harvey Weinstein doesn’t help.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

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.\n 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.

That's a reversal in a pattern seen in the depths of the recession of investors flocking to safe havens.\n Bernanke cited improvements in credit markets  but again warned that a relapse could hurt the economy's recovery prospects. He also said that banks are meeting with some success in raising capital in private markets  suggesting greater investor confidence in the banking system.\n Bernanke repeated his belief that the recession will end this year  and that the economy will start growing again later this year. But he again warned that the pace of the recovery will be slow and that unemployment -- now at a quarter-century peak of 8.9 percent -- will rise even after the recession ends.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

The same early juncture in the election cycle is now facing Clinton's primary challenger  Bernie Sanders  a candidate who in 2015 launched his campaign in the span of a couple months and is considered a frontrunner in the next election. The 75-year-old Vermont senator  current and former aides said in recent interviews  has the chance to build a formidable organization with the kind of infrastructure his first campaign lacked.\nEarlier this month  he returned to the key caucus state of Iowa for the first time since the election to speak to a 1 100 progressive activists in Des Moines. At a daylong conference  Revolution Iowa  organizers and volunteers from the 2016 campaign reunited over boxes lunches and at workshops like “The Fight for Our Lives: Medicare for All!”  Sanders  is scheduled to make a second trip to the state in late August to promote  his  new book.\nAround  Sanders   former aides and advisers point to other signs of activity.\nOn the Democratic National Committee’s Unity Commission  a group created by the  Sanders  and Clinton campaigns to review the fairness of the nominating process  the senator’s allies  led by former campaign manager Jeff Weaver  have eyed changes to superdelegates  open primaries  and the voting calendar that could benefit  Sanders . (Weaver  disputing that idea  said the commission is focused on changes that would help non-leading  lesser-known candidates “get a fair hearing and maybe win.”  Sanders    he  noted  “would enter as a leading candidate  if not the frontrunner.”)\n“Many of us are out here waiting for a signal from him ” said Longabaugh  who  along with Tad Devine  another top adviser  put together the early blueprint for the  Sanders  campaign in spring 2015. “My sense is that's sort of where Sanders Nation is.”\n Sanders  unquestionably built  his  “political revolution” on the strength of  his  message  not the kind of calculated mechanics that laid the foundation for the Clinton operation in Brooklyn. Still  some backers said  the campaign also suffered from basic structural and tactical work that  the senator  not only came late to  but at points actively resisted.\nThe nuts-and-bolts planning for a  Sanders  campaign began in March 2015  shortly before  his  April 30 announcement. In 2014  the liberal radio host Bill Press had hosted  Sanders  at  his  Washington home to talk over the decision to run with Senate staffers  senior Democrats  and strategists  along with “wise guys and gals who pontificated a lot ” recalled Longabaugh. “Helpful for  Bernie  and [ his  wife] Jane to hear — but it was not planning.”\nLess than four months into the race  in August 2015  senior advisers sat down with  Sanders  and  his  wife in Burlington to address the issue in blunt terms: If they wanted to compete  they needed a more serious operation — a campaign with proper infrastructure and a more robust travel schedule  even if it meant missing votes in the Senate  they told  him   according to a person briefed on the conversation at the time. In short  there were basic realities about running for president that would have to be accepted.\nEven after the meeting  billed publicly by advisers as “phase two” of the campaign   Sanders  struggled with that adjustment.  He  had to be convinced that TV ads were not just effective but necessary  and that using a pollster did not mean putting a finger to the wind.  He  never hired a political director.  He  didn't see the need for middle management. Basic functions like a regional press operation weren't fully in place until the primaries had started. Structurally  they never caught up to Clinton. (One former aide described the problem as the ultimate double-edged sword: “The reason that he is a compelling candidate is the same reason he can’t be elected president.”)\nFor now   Sanders  is reluctant to engage on the subject of what's next.\nOn  his  recent trip to Iowa  when shouts of \"2020\" rang out from the crowd   Sanders   standing onstage or moving down the ropeline  remained expressionless. The topic can be a source of irritation for the former candidate  another distraction from the message.\nThe 2020 speculation adds to a somewhat disjointed political moment for  Sanders :  He  is navigating new terrain under President Trump  now as a key player in defending the Affordable Care Act even as  he  amplifies activists’ calls for a single-payer system;  he  is facing a federal investigation into  his  wife’s handling of bank loans for the shuttered Burlington College; and the group that was meant to be the vessel for  his  political movement  Our Revolution  has a struggled to rack up significant electoral wins.\nWeaver  the former campaign manager and a longtime adviser who remains closer to  Sanders  than most  stepped down as the head of Our Revolution on July 15 and is now serving as the central spokesman for all matters related to the FBI inquiry  which  he  dismisses as a “media feeding frenzy.” (For some  the move signaled a certain level of concern  recalling the brief but intense period in late 2015 when Weaver took over communications in the aftermath of a data breach scandal.)\nIf  Sanders  decides to run a second time   he  would enter the Democratic field with a national committed following seen with few other politicians.\n Sanders   it often seems  exists both among the “brothers and sisters” of  his  movement — and from the distant remove of a celebrity with an enormous and awestruck following. (This spring  taking the stage at a rally in Las Vegas   he  approached the lectern and  in one swift movement  removed  his  dark blue blazer  handed it to a woman seated on the stage behind  him   and turned back to the mic  leaving the woman  blazer in hand and mouth agape  resisting a staffer’s reach when  he  tried to retrieve the jacket.)\nEven as  he ’s become a new source of influence among the party’s elite  carving out a spot on Senate leadership and traveling via private jet on a DNC-sponsored “unity” tour earlier this year   his  standing as an antiestablishment figure remains unquestioned.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bernie Sanders ?

Czechs   like fellow voters from Europe to the United States   must weigh promises of a more outward - looking society against protection from the uncertainties of the global economy and immigration when they elect their president later this month . In the run - off on Jan . 26 - 27   academic Jiri Drahos will face incumbent political veteran Milos Zeman in a contest that echoes a string of elections in the past two years across the European Union as well as Donald Trump ’ s battle with Hillary Clinton for the White House . Zeman - a 73 - year - old who has courted the far - right in rejecting migrants from Muslim countries while pursuing warmer relations with Russia and China - won the first round with 38 . 6 percent of the vote   results showed on Saturday . However   Drahos finished a solid second on 26 . 6 percent with support from liberal voters attracted by his policies favoring EU integration . The 68 - year - old has also won endorsement from most of the other candidates eliminated in the first round . Czech presidents wield limited executive powers but from their office in Prague Castle they appoint prime ministers and represent the nation abroad . They can also influence public opinion at a time when Czech political   economic and social debate shows similarities to that in the United States   France and Austria as well as in fellow post - Communist neighbors Poland   Hungary and Slovakia . Czech voters   like others   are split between those who have benefited from European integration and those who fear the impact of globalization and cultural change . Tomas Klvana   a professor at NYU in Prague   draws parallels between Zeman ’ s voter appeal and the U . S . president ‘ s . “ The pattern is affected by domestic issues but this is similar to Trump   turning to the same voters  ” he told Reuters . “ On one side there are more successful   better educated   younger people not afraid of opening up   integrating economically ... and ( on the other ) are people who are less successful   less educated   have lower income and live in smaller towns .” Klvana also saw similarities between Zeman and two other central European leaders   right - wing Polish party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban   who have both picked fights with EU partners . POLITICAL NOVICE Drahos won the first round in the capital Prague   which has grown prosperous since the return to a free - market economy .  Zeman  won in all other regions   and performed particularly strongly in areas that have struggled since the fall of Communism in 1989 . Drahos   a soft - spoken political novice and professor of chemistry   offers a direct contrast to  Zeman    who has used expletives in live debates   relishes drinking and smokes heavily . In politics since the fall of Communism   Zeman also suffers from diabetes and has difficulty walking . The clash is similar to Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen ’ s fight against a far - right opponent in a 2016 presidential vote   Klvana said . Beyond the region   French President Emmanuel Macron also offered a liberal vision when he beat far - right candidate Marine Le Pen last year .

The ethnically homogenous country of 10 . 6 million is united against accepting large number of refugees   even though few came in 2015 while hundreds of thousands arrived in neighboring Germany . Like Zeman   Drahos opposes EU quotas that would force member states to share asylum seekers but he would accept a limited number seeking shelter if they met certain criteria . While Drahos lacks Zeman ’ s charisma among some voters   opinion polls show fewer view the father of two daughters in a negative light than the incumbent . Drahos   who comes from a small town on the Slovak border   joined the Czech Academy of Sciences in 1976 but missed out on promotion until the 1989 Velvet Revolution as he refused offers to join the ruling Communist Party . The physical chemist   who plays the piano and has sung in a chamber choir for four decades   eventually chaired the academy from 2009 - 2017 . SECOND ROUND MATHS While Drahos trailed  Zeman  in the first round by 12 percentage points    he  immediately won endorsements from five other candidates who collectively won 32 . 6 percent - making  him  a slight favorite at betting firms . “ The aim of Zeman ’ s team will be to discourage those voters who are not rock - solid from voting for Drahos  ” said Marek Vocel   a former campaign leader for Karel Schwarzenberg who lost to Zeman in the last election in 2013 . “ Migration is a theme that moves almost everybody . I would expect that to feature in the debates .” Zeman has the backing of the Communists as well as the far - right anti - EU and anti - NATO SPD party . On social media and websites that often carry pro - Russian content   Drahos was accused on Monday of being a weakling who would threaten the country and give in to foreign interests . Drahos brushed off allegations that he had informed for the Communist secret police   or worse . “ My adversaries are hoping that if they ram down people ’ s throats that I was an StB collaborator or a pedophile   it will stick with someone . I know  Milos Zeman  will come with blows below the belt  ”  he  told daily Mlada fronta Dnes in an interview published on Monday .  Zeman  has insisted since declaring  his  candidacy last March that  he  was not actively campaigning . But  he  has had a weekly show on a sympathetic TV channel and traveled the country to meet voters   while posters proclaiming “  Zeman  Again ” hang around the country .  He  refused to face  his  first round rivals on TV   but has agreed to a debate with Drahos for the run - off . Drahos ’ s biggest declared campaign donations are from self - made businessmen   electronics firm founder Dalibor Dedek and real estate developer Ludek Sekyra   and asset management office BPD Partners . Zeman ’ s donations include 2 million Czech crowns ($ 96   000 ) from a firm owned by arms industry entrepreneur Jaroslav Strnad . Former President Vaclav Klaus   who also holds pro - Russian and anti - EU views   has backed Zeman .

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.\nThe 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.\nKurz  though ideologically to the right of Macron  modeled much of his campaign after the Frenchman’s.

Face masks are placed on children in Antananarivo   Madagascar   on Tuesday . ( Alexander Joe / Associated Press ) Some might consider the plague a thing of the past   buried deep in medieval history . But it thrives in Madagascar   where the disease is a seasonal worry . And this year   the country is experiencing what may be its deadliest outbreak in years : About 194 people are suspected to have fallen ill from the plague since August   and 33 have died as of Saturday   according to Madagascar ’ s Ministry of Health . Experts say they can ’ t remember the last time the death toll was so high . In 2016   63 people died over the course of the year   out of 275 cases . The majority of this year ’ s cases are pneumonic plague   which can be transmitted through coughing   according to the BBC . This form of the disease can kill an infected person in less than a day . To slow the outbreak   Madagascar is temporarily shutting down its public institutions . Government authorities ordered two universities to close   and other schools have shut their doors across the country   including the capital   Antananarivo   so buildings can be sprayed with insecticides . The World Health Organization has shipped more than a million doses of antibiotics to the country   the BBC reported . “ We are scared — all of these deaths show that the situation is serious  ” Miora Herinjatovo   55   told Agence France - Presse on Wednesday . She got a mask from a hospital — unlike her husband   who failed to get one after standing in line outside a pharmacy . He instead collected a handful of generic antibiotics . [ The plague   alive and well in Madagascar ] Experts say the outbreak started in late August   when a 31 - year - old man from the eastern city of Toamasina took a trip inland to Ankazobe   where the plague lives in rodent and flea populations . While there   he came down with malaria - like symptoms . He died in a taxi home   passing through Antananarivo   the WHO said in a Sept . 28 statement . The WHO said that many of the cases identified are directly or indirectly linked to the man   which is evidence of person - to - person transmission . Of the 31 people who made direct or indirect contact with him   four became ill and died   the WHO said . Antananarivo and Toamasina were among the most - infected cities : As of Sept . 30   Antananarivo and its suburbs had 27 cases and seven deaths   and Toamasina had 18 cases and five deaths . Antananarivo has about 1 . 3 million residents   while Toamasina has about 237   000   according to a 2014 count by the National Institute of Statistics in Madagascar . Public gatherings   including jazz festivals and basketball tournaments   have been called off to prevent the plague from spreading   according to media reports . One of the people killed by the plague last week was a basketball coach from the Seychelles   who died while visiting the capital for a tournament   according to a WHO report released Thursday . “ Right now   we have the outbreak of a very infectious   fatal disease  ” said Katharina Kreppel   an epidemiologist at the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania   who spent four years conducting field research in Madagascar . “ If people don ’ t notice fast enough   or don ’ t have access to health care fast enough   they die very quickly .” [ There ’ s plague in Arizona . Authorities warn of fleas that can infect people and pets .] This plague shares the same bacterium   yersinia pestis   that caused the “ Black Death ” pandemic in Europe during the 14th century . The most common form of the plague in Madagascar was   until this year   the bubonic plague   spread to humans through infected fleas that contracted the infection from small animals they bit   like rats . The disease is typically spread to humans by the bite of an infected flea   according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . The bubonic plague is often treatable with antibiotics . If left untreated   though   the bacteria can spread through the bloodstream to the lungs and cause pneumonic plague — a deadly   more infectious form that ’ s now spreading throughout Madagascar . Symptoms of the pneumonic plague are similar to the common cold   according to the CDC . The symptoms of bubonic plague are fever   headaches   chills and weakness — as well as one or more swollen and painful lymph nodes   known as buboes . The bacteria multiply in the lymph node closest to where the bacteria entered the body   usually through the infected flea bite   according to the CDC . If an infected person isn ’ t given antibiotics   the bacteria can spread to other parts of the body . Should the bubonic plague become pneumonic   the person will develop shortness of breath   chest pain and sometimes bloody or watery mucous . The pneumonia may cause respiratory failure and shock . All forms of plague   if untreated   can progress rapidly to death   according to the CDC . There have been three major plague pandemics : The Justinian plague   which broke in the Byzantine Empire in AD 541 ; the “ Black Death  ” which originated in China in 1334 and spread to Europe ; and the Modern Plague   which began in China in the 1860s and appeared in Hong Kong by 1894   according to the CDC . It was during the last pandemic that scientists identified the link between the bacteria and infectious flea bites   and rat - associated plague was soon brought under control in most urban areas . The plague has since been controlled in most countries with insecticides   according to the CDC . And since it can be treated with antibiotics   the spread of the disease is usually prevented if promptly identified . The plague is most commonly found in sub - Saharan Africa and Madagascar   areas which account for more than 95 percent of reported cases   according to the CDC . Madagascar often sees the highest numbers of bubonic plague cases worldwide   about 600 infections annually . Madagascar has been in the throes of a political crisis since 2009 and has become one of the poorest countries in the world   with more than 92 percent of the population living on less than $ 2 a day   according to the World Bank Group . It ’ s lost a substantial portion of international aid   and its infrastructure has deteriorated . Once rice harvest season finishes at the end of summer   the rat population drops   as they don ’ t have as much food . Fleas begin looking for new hosts to bite and settle on humans . As it is an island   Madagascar is home to species that transmit the plague and often aren ’ t found anywhere else    Kreppel  told The Washington Post . While Madagascar ’ s scientists have monitored plague patterns for years and have the knowledge to mitigate the spread of this new   pneumonic plague   the money and resources to do so aren ’ t available    Kreppel  said . There isn ’ t adequate funding for insecticides   spraying equipment or antibiotics   she said   and there aren ’ t enough health facilities to house quarantined patients . The country can ’ t afford the vehicles required to travel to isolated villages   should the disease spread further    Kreppel  said . “ If an outbreak like this happened in the U . S . or Europe or anywhere else it would be controlled quite fast   because the resources are there  ” she said . This post has been updated .

What now? Mrs Merkel will meet with Frank-Walter Steinmeier  Germany’s federal president  this morning to discuss next steps. Four possible outcomes present themselves. The FDP might be coaxed back to the negotiating table by plausible concessions from the CDU  CSU and Greens. But do not count on it. Mr Lindner’s language was ominously final. And the Greens (seemingly the main target of FDP recrimination) declared that they had reached their “pain threshold” and could not budge another centimetre.\nThe second possibility is a new “grand coalition” marrying the CDU/CSU and the centre-left Social Democrats (SDP)  who together have a workable majority in the Bundestag. But the SPD has strenuously ruled out the option. Having lost distinctiveness and votes in partnership with  Mrs Merkel    its  leaders and activists fear another spin with the chancellor could do their party terminal damage. Perhaps  just perhaps   Mrs Merkel   the media and Germany’s European partners can persuade them to take the risk. But months after its worst election result in post-war German history  the SPD will most probably reject the overtures.\nIn the absence of a viable majority government   Mrs Merkel  could form a minority one  concocting vote-by-vote majorities in the Bundestag. This might combine the CDU/CSU with the FDP  its traditional governing partner (together they would be 29 seats short of a majority). But a more natural fit would now be a black-green coalition with the Greens (42 seats short of a majority). Last night each side found generous words for the other  and they were as one in their contempt for the FDP. At federal level post-war Germany has witnessed no minority administrations  though one ran North-Rhine Westphalia  the country’s largest state  from 2010 to 2012. Such governments are alien both to the stable  long-termist ways of the German state and to  Mrs Merkel’s  plodding leadership style. How long one would even last in the current circumstances is unclear.\nThat leaves the fourth  most drastic option: new elections. The route is not as simple as it sounds. Unlike some other European parliaments  the Bundestag cannot just dissolve itself (a legacy of Weimar-era instability) and as  Mrs Merkel  has not yet been reinstalled as chancellor  she  cannot call a straight confidence vote. Instead Mr Steinmeier must nominate a candidate for the job. If  Mrs Merkel  (for  it  would be  she ) failed to win an absolute majority in two successive Bundestag votes  which can be separated by two weeks   she  would go to a third vote at which a simple majority would suffice. Only then could Mr Steinmeier dissolve the Bundestag  triggering a new election within 60 days.\nIf possible  Germany’s establishment—including  Mrs Merkel  and Mr Steinmeier—will seek to avoid new elections. These could most benefit the far-right Alternative for Germany and would not necessarily rupture the deadlock  current polls putting the main parties very close to the results they obtained at the September election. In  her  comments last night  Mrs Merkel  emphasised that  her  party would “take responsibility for this country  even in difficult times”.  She  is determined  in other words  to make the best of the hand the German people dealt  her  in September. Precisely how  she  plans to proceed should become clearer today.\nIn recent years Germany has been a pillar of stable government in Europe and  Mrs Merkel  a seemingly permanent feature of the landscape (consider that  her  international counterparts when  she  first took office were Jacques Chirac  Tony Blair and George W. Bush). Both of those truths are now  if not dead  then slipping away. The next German government will take months more to emerge and will be distinctly fragile in comparison with its predecessors. The end of the Merkel era has surely begun  though whether it has weeks  months or a short number of years to run is anyone’s guess. Last night’s events confirmed Emmanuel Macron as Europe’s top leader while making the French president’s grand plans for euro-zone reform—for which he needs a confident and outward-looking Germany—yet harder to achieve.

It’s all smiles for  LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers  after  their  roster makeover at the NBA’s trade deadline. (Adam Glanzman/Getty)\nThe decision to trade Kyrie Irving to the Celtics was the obvious thing people pointed to in talking about Cleveland’s offseason overhaul when this regular season began in October. But the larger issue for the Cavaliers wasn’t the departure of Irving (though it obviously hurt). It was Cleveland deciding to go away from the very thing that made the Cavaliers into the team that dominated the Eastern Conference over the past three years and won a championship in 2016: Surrounding  LeBron James  with shooters  giving  him  the ball and letting  him  go to work.\n3.  LeBron James  is happy again\nIt only took watching the Cavaliers for a few minutes in January to see that  James  was miserable.  His  stats were down across the board  the team was getting drilled repeatedly  and  his  frustration with the whole situation was clear — to say nothing of the very obvious off-court chemistry issues that were repeatedly bubbling to the surface.\nThat was what made  James ’s performance — and  his  attitude — Sunday against the Celtics so striking.  He  was flying off the bench to celebrate the performances of  his  teammates — most notably on some late three-pointers by Jordan Clarkson to put the game out of reach.  He  followed up recording triple-doubles in  his  previous two games with 24 points  eight rebounds and 10 assists in 28 minutes as Cleveland won handily and allowed  him  to rest in the fourth quarter.\nAnd when asked about  his  new teammates after the game on ABC’s telecast   he  was effusive in what they can bring to  his  team.\nThat’s just slightly different than the mood  James  had about  his  teammates a few days ago — and that  his  teammates had about  him . For as much as Cleveland needed to change its mix on the court  it needed to change it off the court as well. In doing so  the Cavaliers have gotten  James  back to being happy and motivated again — and succeeding in that gives Cleveland a bigger win than any other team in the NBA at the deadline.\nWhile the Cavaliers now have a roster and rotation that makes sense in the context of what works best for  James   the moves they made also gave this team a desperately needed shot in the arm of youth and athleticism.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

In addition  it has taken steps to crack down on risky practices  including issuing guidelines to banks to overhaul bonus systems that may spur employees to take excessive risks.\n Ultimately  however  Congress must act  Bernanke said. The nation needs a way to deal with the failure of large  complex financial institutions without putting the entire system at risk or bailing them out with taxpayer money. It needs to bring all financial institutions under rigorous federal oversight. And it needs to coordinate information and action among US financial regulators to identify and prevent threats to financial stability  he said.\n \"It remains critical for Congress to close regulatory gaps and provide supervisors with additional tools for anticipating and managing systemic risks \" Bernanke said in prepared remarks. \"Large  complex financial firms that do not own a bank  but nonetheless pose risks to the overall financial system  must not be permitted to avoid comprehensive and effective supervisory oversight.\"\n Bernanke was the keynote speaker at a three-day conference sponsored by the Boston Fed.

And some aspects of the labor market that appear weak  such as the still-elevated number of part-time workers  may reflect permanent changes in the workforce  and not cyclical factors   Yellen  said.\nBut for now the Fed “continues to anticipate that  with gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy  inflation will rise and stabilize at around 2 percent over the medium term ”  she  said. “We should be wary of moving too gradually.”", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Janet Yellen ?

Sen . Chuck Grassley speaks with reporters on Capitol Hill in December 2017 . ( Reuters file photo : Aaron . P . Bernstein ) We need a full - blown investigation of how the FISA court came to grant warrants to spy on Carter Page . In a word   the Grassley - Graham memo is shocking . Yet   the press barely notices . Rest assured : If a Republican administration had used unverifiable hearsay from a patently suspect agent of the Republican presidential candidate to gull the FISA court into granting a warrant to spy on an associate of the Democratic nominee ’ s campaign   it would be covered as the greatest political scandal in a half - century . Instead   it was the other way around . The Grassley - Graham memo corroborates the claims in the Nunes memo : The Obama Justice Department and FBI used anonymously sourced   Clinton - campaign generated innuendo to convince the FISA court to issue surveillance warrants against Carter Page   and in doing so   they concealed the Clinton campaign ’ s role . Though the Trump campaign had cut ties with Page shortly before the first warrant was issued in October 2016   the warrant application was based on wild allegations of a corrupt conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin . Moreover   the warrant meant the FBI could seize not only Page ’ s forward - going communications but any past emails and texts he may have stored — i . e .  his Trump campaign communications . x With its verification by the Grassley - Graham memo   the Nunes memo now has about a thousand times more corroboration than the Steele dossier   the basis of the heinous allegations used by the Justice Department and FBI to get the FISA warrants . What the Grassley - Graham memo tells us is that the Nunes memo   for all the hysteria about it   was tame . The Grassley - Graham memo tells us that we need not only a full - blown investigation of what possessed the Obama administration to submit such shoddy applications to the FISA court   but of how a judge — or perhaps as many as four judges — rationalized signing the warrants . Advertisement We need full disclosure — the warrants   the applications   the court proceedings . Senators Charles Grassley of Iowa and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina are senior Republicans on the Judiciary Committee ( which Grassley chairs   while Graham chairs a relevant subcommittee ). As we ’ ve previously detailed ( in a two - part series   here and here )  they composed their memo in support of a criminal referral recommending that dossier author Christopher Steele be investigated for making false statements to the FBI ( which is a felony ). Initially   the senators ’ memo was withheld   then it was released with extensive redactions because its contents were largely classified — covering submissions to the FISA court   the secret tribunal established by the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act . But following the release of the Nunes memo — the memo prepared by Republican majority staff of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence led by Representative Devin Nunes ( R .  Calif .) — Senators Grassley and Graham stepped up their admirable efforts to get more information unsealed . so that the public can see it   even if the press prefers not to cover it . Last Friday   the Nunes memo asserted that the FBI and Justice Department had significantly relied on the unverified Steele dossier to obtain FISA warrants on Page . In the week that followed   House Intelligence Committee Democrats and their media echo chamber bleated about how things had been taken out of context   with some suggesting that there was plenty of other evidence to establish probable cause that Page was acting as a Russian agent . ( See my column last Sunday responding to claims by Representative Jerrold Nadler   here .) It was even implied that Nunes & Co . had deceptively reported committee testimony by the FBI ’ s then deputy director Andrew McCabe that the Steele dossier was essential to this probable - cause showing . We ’ re not hearing much of that now . Here ’ s the Grassley - Graham memo on the critical first FISA application   the basis for the warrant granted on October 21   2016 : The bulk of the application consists of allegations against Page that were disclosed to the FBI by Mr . Steele and are also outlined in the Steele dossier . The application appears to contain no additional information corroborating the dossier allegations against Mr . Page   although it does cite to a news article that appears to be sourced to Mr . Steele ’ s dossier . We ’ ll come to the news article — the stupefying circular attempt to corroborate Steele with Steele . For the moment   suffice it to say that the senators have confirmed the Nunes memo ’ s account   except with much more information than House Republicans were able to include . Information such as this : When asked at the March 2017 briefing [ of Judiciary Committee leaders ] why the FBI relied on the dossier in the FISA applications absent meaningful corroboration — and in light of the highly political motives surrounding its creation — then - Director [ James ] Comey stated that the FBI included the dossier allegations about Carter Page in the FISA applications because Mr . Steele himself was considered reliable due to his past work with the Bureau . On this score   Grassley and Graham quote directly from the warrant applications : “ Based on [ Steele ’ s ] previous reporting history with the FBI whereby [ Steele ] provided reliable information to the FBI   the FBI believes [ Steele ’ s ] reporting to be credible .” ( Emphasis added .) I cannot stress enough how irregular this is . It is why there is abundant reason to demand that the judge explain his or her rationale for granting the warrant . As I outlined at greater length last week ( here   in section C )  in applying for a warrant   the government must establish the reliability of the informants who witnessed the alleged facts claimed to support a probable - cause finding .  Steele  was not one of those witnesses .  He  is not the source of the facts .  He  is the purveyor of the sources — anonymous Russians   much of whose alleged information is based on hearsay   sometimes multiple steps removed from direct knowledge .  Steele  has not been in Russia since  his  cover as a British spy was blown nearly 20 years ago .  He  has sources   who have sources   who have sources . None of  his  information is better than third - hand ; most of it is more attenuated than that . For purposes of justifying a warrant   it does not matter that   in a totally unrelated investigation ( involving corruption at FIFA   the international soccer organization )  the FBI judged that the hearsay information provided by Steele   then a British agent   checked out . In his anti - Trump research   Steele could not verify his sources . Furthermore   he was now a former foreign intelligence officer who was then working for private clients — which is the advocacy business   not the search - for - truth business . A judge would need to know whether Steele ’ s sources were reliable   not whether Steele himself was reliable . Let that sink in   then think about this contrast : No actual FBI agent   no matter how renowned   would be able to get a judicial warrant based solely on his own reliability as an investigator . Jim Comey   despite having a résumé geometrically more impressive than Steele ’ s   including Senate confirmations to some of federal law - enforcement ’ s loftiest positions   would not be given a warrant based on representations to the court that the FBI   the Justice Department   the president   and the Senate all attested to his impeccable reliability . The only reliability that counts is the reliability of the factual informants   not of the investigator who purports to channel the informants . The judge wants to know why the court should believe the specific factual claims : Was the informant truly in a position to witness what is alleged   and if so   does the informant have a track record of providing verified information ? The track record of the investigator who locates the sources is beside the point . A judge would need to know whether Steele ’ s sources were reliable   not whether Steele himself was reliable . Advertisement This is not esoterica . In the investigations biz   this is so basic that to call it “ Warrants 101 ” doesn ’ t do it justice . If you don ’ t have witnesses with verifiable   first - hand knowledge   you don ’ t have anything . Without them   to borrow Director Comey ’ s notorious dictum   no reasonable prosecutor would bring a warrant application to a federal judge   and no reasonable judge would issue a warrant . If there is no credible sourcing for the factual allegations in the warrant application   that is a probable - cause deficiency that could not have been cured by the reputation of the purveyor of the sources   no matter how sterling . That said   it is obvious that the less identifiable and reliable the informants are   the greater is the government ’ s obligation to be transparent in conveying the investigator ’ s potential biases . The Obama administration ’ s malfeasance on this point is breathtaking . Graham and Grassley recount : The FBI noted to a vaguely limited extent the political origins of the dossier . In footnote 8 [ of the first warrant application   apparently repeated in the subsequent applications ] the FBI stated that the dossier information was compiled pursuant to the direction of a law firm who had hired an “ identified U . S . person ” — now known as Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS . The fact that Fusion GPS ’ s ultimate client was the Clinton campaign was never disclosed in any of the warrant applications   which ran well beyond June 2017   when the last 90 - day extension was granted . Patently   so much struggle and circumlocution went into crafting this “ vaguely limited ” footnote that we can only conclude the decision not to disclose the Clinton connection was the subject of much deliberation . The Clinton campaign ’ s sponsorship was not publicly disclosed until October 2017 . Before then   it is virtually certain that   to the extent the FISA court and Congress were told of the “ political origins ” of the dossier   these were benignly presented as bipartisan concerns about Donald Trump . That is   the  Steele  dossier phase of Fusion ’ s anti - Trump project was conflated with the earlier phase   when — as Simpson has testified — Fusion did documentary research on Trump during the Republican primaries for a conservative media outlet . It was not disclosed that   by the time  Steele  was hired to do the dossier   the project was backed exclusively by the Democratic party and the Clinton campaign . Manifestly   that was a material fact . If a prosecutor withheld an arguably exculpatory fact of this degree of significance   it could get a conviction reversed . As some have observed   a public company would likely face a stock fraud prosecution for concealing a fact so patently material from its required SEC reports . The Clinton - campaign tie should have been disclosed from the beginning . Now   consider what happened as the surveillance continued for the better part of a year . In late October 2016   shortly after the first warrant was issued   the FBI terminated its relationship with  Steele  because  he  lied to the Bureau about  his  contacts with the media . But the Justice Department did not report this to the FISA court . Instead   when the first warrant expired in January 2017   the FBI and Justice Department sought its renewal by   again   relying on the credibility of the guy they ’ d booted for lying . In another lawyerly footnote   they told the FISA court that  Steele  had been terminated not because  he  lied but because  he  was guilty of “ unauthorized disclosure of information to the press .” But that was not the half of it . Steele ’ s agreement with the FBI was that he would not communicate with the press . He made that agreement and then communicated with the press anyway — which showed he was unreliable   notwithstanding the FBI ’ s continued insistence to the contrary . He hadn ’ t just flouted the agreement by speaking to the press   though ; he had clearly lied about doing so . By mid - September 2016   at Fusion ’ s direction and even before the first FISA warrant was issued    Steele  had spoken with a plethora of Clinton - friendly press outlets . As a result   Yahoo News published a news story by Michael Isikoff on September 23   which reported precisely the information that  Steele  had given to the FBI about Page : that  he  ’ d supposedly met in Moscow with two top Russian operatives and discussed the lifting of sanctions against Russia . Advertisement How could the FBI and Justice Department not have known that  Steele  was the source for this story ? Isikoff explicitly stated that his account of Page ’ s activities was set forth in “ intelligence reports ” that were in the possession of “ U . S . officials .” Plainly   the FBI was privy to intelligence reports in the government ’ s possession — the purported “ intelligence ” reports  Steele  had provided as well as any others . Had there been another intel report from a different source who happened to provide the same exact information  Steele  had provided   not only would the FBI have known about it ; the Bureau would have touted it to the FISA court as critical corroboration of Steele ’ s anonymous sources . To the contrary   the FISA court was told : “ The FBI does not believe that [  Steele  ] directly provided this information to the press .” I ’ ve emphasized “ directly ” to highlight how curious this assertion is . Ostensibly   the Bureau seems to have been saying that  Steele  was not the source — meaning that there must have been another source   yet one the Bureau had not managed to identify even though this mystery source was described in intelligence reports accessible to the Bureau . On the other hand   what does “ directly ” mean ? By using that qualifier   was the Bureau conceding that  Steele  might have provided information to the press indirectly – i . e .  through an intermediary ? But that would make no sense : What would be the point of citing the Isikoff article as corroboration for  Steele  if  Steele  had been Isikoff ’ s source   even if indirectly ? It is not good   one way or the other . Either  Steele  lied to the FBI about speaking to the press   or the FBI consciously avoided learning that  Steele  had spoken to Isikoff and then speculated to the court that  Steele  was probably not Isikoff ’ s source . Either way   Steele ’ s credibility was a huge issue . That put in doubt the FBI ’ s vouching for his reliability   which in turn made disclosure of the Clinton campaign ’ s sponsorship of his dossier even more imperative . Or how about this :  Steele  gave a published interview to Mother Jones in late October 2016   after promising not to speak to the media . In trying to soft - peddle the palpable unreliability  Steele  had thus exhibited   the FBI rationalized that  he  was acting not out of dishonesty but in a fit of pique over Director Comey ’ s pre - election announcement that the FBI had reopened the Clinton emails investigation . This   of course   is the announcement that Clinton partisans blame for their candidate ’ s loss . So   according to the Bureau   Steele ’ s pro - Clinton partisanship induced him to such outrage over Comey ’ s announcement that he was moved to violate his agreement with the FBI . Wouldn ’ t you think it might then occur to the Bureau and the Justice Department that maybe   just maybe   they ought to let the court in on that teeny detail about the Clinton campaign ’ s being the sponsor of Steele ’ s dossier ? Instead they kept mum and they kept telling the court  Steele  was perfectly reliable . In fact   they kept telling the FISA court  he  was reliable even after  Steele  himself admitted to a British court that  his  dossier wasn ’ t at all reliable . Truth is a defense to libel . Suffice it to say   it was not Steele ’ s defense . Even though there was still no meaningful corroboration of Steele ’ s sources after months of investigation   even though  Steele  had lied to them   the FBI and Justice Department represented again and again   in April and June 2017   that the FISA court could confidently bank on Steele ’ s reliability . By early 2017   however    Steele  was being sued for libel in Britain   among other places   by people accused of misconduct in the dossier . Truth is a defense to libel . Suffice it to say   it was not Steele ’ s defense . In May 2017   as I have detailed ( here )   Steele  was required to respond to interrogatories .  He  emphasized that  his  dossier allegations were “ raw intelligence ” that was “ unverified ” and “ warranted investigation .”  He  further described  his  reports as “ limited intelligence ” that described mere “ indications ” of “ possible ” coordination between Trump ’ s campaign and the Russian government .  He  was not in a position to vouch for the accuracy of what  he  ’ d been told    he  explained ;  he  passed it along because it needed further investigation . Yet   far from reporting Steele ’ s retreat to the FISA court   Grassley and Graham report that the FBI and Justice Department continued vouching for the reliability of his allegations . Advertisement Beyond all that   we now learn through the senators ’ memo   and some follow - up reporting   that two longtime Clinton cronies   Cody Shearer and Sidney Blumenthal   fed their own anti - Trump dossier to  Steele    through a State Department official   Jonathan Winer . In the fall of 2016    Steele    while working on  his  Clinton - funded project   reported this Clinton - crony information to the FBI . Still   the FBI and Justice Department elected not to tell the FISA court that the Clinton campaign was paying for Steele ’ s unverified   unverifiable anti - Trump research . I spent many months assuring people that nothing like this could ever happen — that the FBI and Justice Department would not countenance the provision to the FISA court of uncorroborated allegations of heinous misconduct . When Trump enthusiasts accused them of rigging the process   I countered that they probably had not even used the  Steele  dossier . If the Justice Department had used it in writing a FISA warrant application   I insisted that the FBI would independently verify any important facts presented to the court   make any disclosures that ought in fairness be made so the judge could evaluate the credibility of the sources   and compellingly demonstrate probable cause before alleging that an American was a foreign agent .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Adam Schiff ?

Czechs   like fellow voters from Europe to the United States   must weigh promises of a more outward - looking society against protection from the uncertainties of the global economy and immigration when they elect their president later this month . In the run - off on Jan . 26 - 27   academic Jiri Drahos will face incumbent political veteran Milos Zeman in a contest that echoes a string of elections in the past two years across the European Union as well as Donald Trump ’ s battle with Hillary Clinton for the White House . Zeman - a 73 - year - old who has courted the far - right in rejecting migrants from Muslim countries while pursuing warmer relations with Russia and China - won the first round with 38 . 6 percent of the vote   results showed on Saturday . However   Drahos finished a solid second on 26 . 6 percent with support from liberal voters attracted by his policies favoring EU integration . The 68 - year - old has also won endorsement from most of the other candidates eliminated in the first round . Czech presidents wield limited executive powers but from their office in Prague Castle they appoint prime ministers and represent the nation abroad . They can also influence public opinion at a time when Czech political   economic and social debate shows similarities to that in the United States   France and Austria as well as in fellow post - Communist neighbors Poland   Hungary and Slovakia . Czech voters   like others   are split between those who have benefited from European integration and those who fear the impact of globalization and cultural change . Tomas Klvana   a professor at NYU in Prague   draws parallels between Zeman ’ s voter appeal and the U . S . president ‘ s . “ The pattern is affected by domestic issues but this is similar to Trump   turning to the same voters  ” he told Reuters . “ On one side there are more successful   better educated   younger people not afraid of opening up   integrating economically ... and ( on the other ) are people who are less successful   less educated   have lower income and live in smaller towns .” Klvana also saw similarities between Zeman and two other central European leaders   right - wing Polish party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban   who have both picked fights with EU partners . POLITICAL NOVICE Drahos won the first round in the capital Prague   which has grown prosperous since the return to a free - market economy .  Zeman  won in all other regions   and performed particularly strongly in areas that have struggled since the fall of Communism in 1989 . Drahos   a soft - spoken political novice and professor of chemistry   offers a direct contrast to  Zeman    who has used expletives in live debates   relishes drinking and smokes heavily . In politics since the fall of Communism   Zeman also suffers from diabetes and has difficulty walking . The clash is similar to Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen ’ s fight against a far - right opponent in a 2016 presidential vote   Klvana said . Beyond the region   French President Emmanuel Macron also offered a liberal vision when he beat far - right candidate Marine Le Pen last year .

REUTERS / Matej Stransky / Pool MIGRATION  Zeman  has won votes with a tough stance on migration . The ethnically homogenous country of 10 . 6 million is united against accepting large number of refugees   even though few came in 2015 while hundreds of thousands arrived in neighboring Germany . Like Zeman   Drahos opposes EU quotas that would force member states to share asylum seekers but he would accept a limited number seeking shelter if they met certain criteria . While Drahos lacks Zeman ’ s charisma among some voters   opinion polls show fewer view the father of two daughters in a negative light than the incumbent . Drahos   who comes from a small town on the Slovak border   joined the Czech Academy of Sciences in 1976 but missed out on promotion until the 1989 Velvet Revolution as he refused offers to join the ruling Communist Party . The physical chemist   who plays the piano and has sung in a chamber choir for four decades   eventually chaired the academy from 2009 - 2017 . SECOND ROUND MATHS While Drahos trailed  Zeman  in the first round by 12 percentage points    he  immediately won endorsements from five other candidates who collectively won 32 . 6 percent - making  him  a slight favorite at betting firms . “ The aim of Zeman ’ s team will be to discourage those voters who are not rock - solid from voting for Drahos  ” said Marek Vocel   a former campaign leader for Karel Schwarzenberg who lost to Zeman in the last election in 2013 . “ Migration is a theme that moves almost everybody . I would expect that to feature in the debates .” Zeman has the backing of the Communists as well as the far - right anti - EU and anti - NATO SPD party . On social media and websites that often carry pro - Russian content   Drahos was accused on Monday of being a weakling who would threaten the country and give in to foreign interests . Drahos brushed off allegations that he had informed for the Communist secret police   or worse . “ My adversaries are hoping that if they ram down people ’ s throats that I was an StB collaborator or a pedophile   it will stick with someone . I know  Milos Zeman  will come with blows below the belt  ”  he  told daily Mlada fronta Dnes in an interview published on Monday .  Zeman  has insisted since declaring  his  candidacy last March that  he  was not actively campaigning . But  he  has had a weekly show on a sympathetic TV channel and traveled the country to meet voters   while posters proclaiming “  Zeman  Again ” hang around the country .  He  refused to face  his  first round rivals on TV   but has agreed to a debate with Drahos for the run - off . Drahos ’ s biggest declared campaign donations are from self - made businessmen   electronics firm founder Dalibor Dedek and real estate developer Ludek Sekyra   and asset management office BPD Partners . Zeman ’ s donations include 2 million Czech crowns ($ 96   000 ) from a firm owned by arms industry entrepreneur Jaroslav Strnad . Former President Vaclav Klaus   who also holds pro - Russian and anti - EU views   has backed Zeman . After the first round   he thanked Zeman voters for “ not bowing to foreign interests ”  migration and the related “ threat of liquidation of European and Czech culture   traditions and values ”.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Milos Zeman ?

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)\nThe 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.\n“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.”\n Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz  the leader of the People’s Party  talks to reporters after casting his vote in the election in Vienna . (Christian Bruna/European Pressphoto Agency-EFE/Rex/Shutterstock)\nBut 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.\nIf  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.\nSome on Sunday called on  Kurz  to avoid teaming up with the Freedom Party.\n“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.”\nKern 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.\nThe 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.\nKurz  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.”\nKritzinger 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.\n“From a rhetoric perspective   he ’s an absolute talent ” Kritzinger said. “The other parties didn’t know how to deal with  him .”", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

In July 2016  the R&B duo Dvsn found themselves in an exciting but precarious position. During only their second set of live dates  the pair were already opening for Drake and Future on the triumphant Summer Sixteen tour  which went on to become the highest grossing hip-hop jaunt of all time. But how would a crowd primed for deliriously exultant Drake/Future collaborations like \"Jumpman\" respond to  Dvsn   whose best moments are more in line with emotive Nineties R&B than the music on today's airwaves?\n\"That [experience] allowed us to do two things \" says  Dvsn  vocalist Daniel Daley. \"To go out there and have to win the attention  appreciation and adoration of a bunch of people that were there to turn up  and to learn that they all have a spot in them that's OK staying in that night.\"\nSo it's been for Dvsn – the name is often styled \"dvsn\" — who have accumulated more than 150 million streams in the U.S. since debuting in November of 2015.  Daley 's partner in the group is Paul Jefferies  better known as Nineteen85  co-producer of mammoth Drake hits like \"Hotline Bling.\" After releasing their debut  Sept 5th  last year with little warning  Dvsn return on Friday with Morning After. \"Sept 5th in a way works like a mixtape; it's an introductory piece \"  Daley  says. \"This time around  we definitely have some records that we think have a bigger space to occupy.\"\nThis is hard-won confidence – initially  Daley  and Jefferies primarily kept their interest in R&B secret and focused on making rap. \"Hanging out with crews of guys  it's not the coolest thing to say  'Yo  I sing – have you heard that Boyz II Men record  that new Usher or Ginuwine?'\"  Daley  explains. \"And a lot of the stuff that we loved in R&B was way older than we were \" Jefferies adds. \"Most of the people we were hanging with weren't actually listening to that R&B.\"\n\" Dvsn  is a part of music that has been missing for a long time \" Shebib tells Rolling Stone. \"[Their] shit is just good R&B music.\"\nDrake's success meant 40 spent more and more time away from Toronto  but the producer maintained contact with  Dvsn  as the duo honed their songwriting  penning tracks for Jessie Ware and Jennifer Hudson. There were other placements  too  but \"none that we're bragging about \" according to Daley – in fact  most of the Daley/Jefferies cuts were rejected. \"When we were sending songs to people  the A&R or the manager would respond back and be like  'This sounds done – whose song did you send me? I was hoping for demos '\" Jefferies explains.\nDaley credits Jefferies with deciding that the two should step out on their own as  Dvsn . \"As a producer  I was now known as the guy who made these huge pop hits  but as a songwriter pitching to R&B artists  there was a lot of second-guessing \" Jefferies says. \"I was like  I think I've proven I know what's going to be the next thing. Why keep putting it in someone else's hands and hope they're gonna do our song as good as we could?\"\nIn 2015   Dvsn  posted two luxurious ballads on SoundCloud: \"With Me \" a 6:58-long come-on swaddled in harmonies  and \"The Line \" which harked back to early-2000s D'Angelo. \"[Those two tracks] didn't sound like anything [out at the time] \" Jefferies says. \"Without naming any names  some artists are making good R&B but they're not necessarily vocalists \" explains Carl Chery  Head of Artist Curation for Apple Music  which has been a major supporter of  Dvsn . \"I liked Daniel's tone  his voice  his writing ability. It was like  this is what the groups I loved in the Nineties would come up with now.\"\nThough  Dvsn  owe much to the Drake/40 hive mind  one of the most refreshing things about  them  was that  they  didn't sound like Drake at a time when there were already more than enough R&B acts attempting to build on his blueprint. As a result  not long after releasing their first two songs  \"the phones were ringing  the emails were blowing up  and 40 was looking at us like a proud dad \" Daley recalls. But the group initially kept Daley's identity a secret  hinting only that  Dvsn  was a Nineteen85 side project  a tried and true strategy for heightening listeners' curiosity at a time when all information is just a Google search away.\nBut the group is still happy to set a deliberate pace when necessary  matching Daley's direct expressions of desire with Jefferies' uncluttered production. New track \"Body Smile\" continues in the tradition of \"The Line \" leaving Daley to carry a melody across the empty spaces between each drum thunk  while \"POV\" samples the 1999 Maxwell ballad \"Fortunate.\" (Maxwell calls Dvsn \"my favorite band \" commending them for \"making a Nineties backdrop for the woke ones of the future.\") \"My job is always to let Daniel shine \" Jefferies notes. \"It's not for the production to be another singer. It's not having those things compete.\"\n\"We're separating from the pack \" he adds  before reiterating the  Dvsn  mantra: \"When they're all in the club  we might just stay in.\"", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

( CNN ) This time last year    Steve Bannon  was on top of the world .  He  had shepherded Donald Trump to the most unlikely presidential victory ever .  He  was preparing to go with Trump to the White House as a senior strategist .  He  was the new hot thing .  Bannon  is   suddenly   a man without a friend left in the world . So what ' s  his  next act ? To answer that I reached out to my friend Josh Green   who wrote the incredible Bannon biography \" Devil ' s Bargain :  Steve Bannon   Donald Trump    and the Storming of the Presidency .\" Our email conversation about all things  Bannon  is below . Cillizza : Josh   as the foremost Bannonologist in the country -- if that ' s not a thing   I am making it a thing right now -- I turn to you for wisdom at this amazing moment .  Steve Bannon  appears to be totally and completely on the outs with Donald Trump    his  political patron   after talking ( at length ) to Michael Wolff for \" Fire and Fury .\" Trump said that  Bannon  lost  his  mind ! Trump appears to be WAY angrier at  Bannon  than when he actually fired him a few months back . So is this the end of the end ? A seven - year political friendship turned into \" Sloppy Steve \" Green : What  Bannon  did by talking to Wolff for this book -- and by extension   probably   talking to me for my book -- is pour a can of gasoline over  his  head and light a match .  Trump  appears to have broken with  him  in a way that seems final and ultimate   even tagging  him  with a dreaded nickname   \" Sloppy Steve  \" which I think we can all admit is pretty fantastic .  Bannon  has been in the doghouse before and come back . I hear that  he  thinks  he  can come back from this   too . We ' ll see ; nothing ' s ever quite impossible in  Trump  ' s world . You can never say never . As  Bannon  has told people in the past   Trump is entirely transactional . But if  he  loses  his  platform at Breitbart News   then it ' s hard for me to see how  he  ' ll be able to wield the kind of influence that I describe in \" Devil ' s Bargain  \" and that  he  seemed to have regained after leaving the White House last year . Cillizza : Let ' s talk about  Bannon  and Breitbart . There ' s reporting out there they may oust him . And Rebekah Mercer   one of the major financial patrons of Breitbart ( and  Bannon  )  said publicly that she and he are not on speaking terms and she ' s not going to be funding what he does anymore . What ' s weird to me is that it appears Bannon ' s quotes on  Trump  to Wolff have had a far more profound effect on his role at Breitbart -- and in the conservative firmament more generally -- then when he was fired by  Trump  ! After that   he was welcomed as a conquering hero back into Breitbart ! Is it solely the Wolff book ? And is  Bannon  really in danger of losing  his  Breitbart platform ? Green : The reason uber - wealthy people like the Mercers become involved in politics is to exert influence .  Bannon  was an agent of that influence   and the architect . And  he  did   for a time   have a profound influence on American politics that culminated in Trump ' s election .  Bannon  was the real force behind Breitbart ; the head honcho at GAI   which produced the \" Clinton Cash \" book so damaging to Hillary ' s candidacy ; and a board member at Cambridge Analytica : The reason uber - wealthy people like the Mercers become involved in politics is to exert influence .  Bannon  was an agent of that influence   and the architect . And  he  did   for a time   have a profound influence on American politics that culminated in Trump ' s election .  Bannon  was the real force behind Breitbart ; the head honcho at GAI   which produced the \" Clinton Cash \" book so damaging to Hillary ' s candidacy ; and a board member at Cambridge Analytica   the data research firm that worked on the Trump campaign So as an investment   Bannon really did pay off for the Mercers like early -' 80s Apple stock . The problem is that effectiveness waned almost immediately upon entering the White House   and that   coupled with his megalomania and his belief that he was the true leader of the nationalist movement   backfired on him big time .  Trump  obviously doesn ' t value him the way that he did a year ago . With the humiliation of Moore ' s loss in Alabama and the devastating quotes in Wolff ' s book attacking  Trump '  s family   there was really no reason to keep him around . And when Trump turns on someone   he really TURNS on them ! Cillizza : I am STUNNED that Bannon ever entertained the idea of a presidential bid . That would   um   never work . But let ' s assume -- just for the purpose of the conversation -- he hangs on at Breitbart . How does he start to rebuild what he ' s lost ? And just for the thought experiment : If Breitbart jettisons Bannon -- where does he go then ? Green : Look   here on planet Earth we ' re all rightly astonished that  Bannon  holds ( held ?) But the psychology would work as follows :  Bannon  has always thought that  Trump  was riding a global nationalist wave that ' d swept across Europe   the UK and now the US .  Trump  embraced that politics --  Bannon  ' s politics -- and got elected . So clearly the ideas resonate in the US . If  Trump  were to decide against running for re - election   Bannon   believing  he  ' s the true carrier of the faith   must ' ve thought   \" Why not me ?\" Like his ex - boss   he ' s always been a guy with a healthy ego . But if he were to lose the Breitbart platform   it ' s hard for me to envision what vehicle he would use to lead such a movement and how he would fund it . But he ' s not self - fund - a - presidential - campaign rich . So a presidential bid is off . [ Shakes hands   nods   walks away .] BUT   what then does Bannon do ? This guy is a news animal . He appears to be totally obsessed with the media   the battle of ideas between the two parties   all of it . It feels impossible for someone like Steve Bannon to just disappear from   well   anywhere -- especially a world in which Donald Trump is president . Green : In the near term   Bannon does ( and is doing ) what everybody who wants to influence and ingratiate themselves to Trump does : Flatter him with obsequious praise . It shouldn '  t  be lost on anyone that after Bannon called Trump a \" great man \" on  his  radio show on the evening of  his  own defenestration   Trump quickly learned about it ( probably from a cable TV chyron ) and mentioned this to reporters at the White House pool spray on Thursday . I ' m skeptical it ' ll work . But that ' s the only path back for Bannon that I can imagine . Or   heck   why doesn ' t he run for president ? It ' s an automatic way to get in front of the cameras and spread a message .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon ? Steve Bannon   the White House chief strategist  has left the Trump administration and returned to Breitbart News  the right-wing website  he  led before joining President Donald Trump's campaign last year.\nThe conservative internet news mogul Matt Drudge first reported on Friday that  Bannon  was leaving the White House  tweeting that  he  \"had one hell of a run.\"\n\"White House chief of staff John Kelly and  Steve Bannon  have mutually agreed today would be Steve's last day \" White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. \"We are grateful for his service and wish him the best.\"\nBreitbart's White House correspondent Charlie Spierling tweeted Friday that  Bannon  returned to Breitbart News as executive chairman  and chaired the outlet's evening editorial meeting.\nRumors of  Bannon 's departure had reached a fever pitch in recent days.\nCiting two administration officials briefed on the conversation  The New York Times reported shortly after Drudge's tweet that Trump had told senior aides he decided to remove  Bannon . The Times added  however  that a person close to  Bannon  insisted the departure was  Bannon 's idea. The source said  Bannon  submitted  his  resignation on August 7  to be announced earlier this week  but it was pushed back after the violent protests led by white nationalists in Charlottesville  Virginia  over the past weekend.\nAfter Trump's Tuesday press conference  in which he said some of the protesters in Charlottesville were \"very fine people \"  Bannon  gave a series of on-the-record interviews and comments to publications including The Times  The American Prospect  and The Washington Post.\nIt was in those interviews  particularly with The Prospect  that  Bannon  appeared to seal  his  fate  if  he  hadn't already tendered  his  resignation.\n Bannon  lashed out National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn  contradicted the president on North Korea  and called white nationalists a \"collection of clowns\" and \"losers.\"  He  also said  he  hoped Democrats \"talk about racism every day.\"\n\"The longer they talk about identity politics  I got 'em  \" Bannon  told The Prospect. \"I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity  and we go with economic nationalism  we can crush the Democrats.\"\nThat interview irked Trump  CNN reported. The president was also upset with  Bannon 's participation in Josh Green's book \"Devil's Bargain \" which painted Trump and  Bannon  as equally responsible for Trump's election win in November. Trump was also reportedly annoyed by a Time magazine cover in February that depicted  Bannon  as \"The Great Manipulator.\"\nAsked during his Tuesday press conference about  Bannon 's status in the administration  Trump said  \"We'll see.\"\n\"Look  look — I like  Mr. Bannon  \" Trump said. \"He's a friend of mine. But  Mr. Bannon  came on very late. You know that. I went through 17 senators  governors  and I won all the primaries.  Mr. Bannon  came on very much later than that.\"\n\"And I like  him  \"  he  continued. \" He 's a good man.  He  is not a racist. I can tell you that.  He 's a good person.  He  actually gets a very unfair press in that regard. But we'll see what happens with  Mr. Bannon . But  he 's a good person  and I think the press treats  him   frankly  very unfairly.\"\n Bannon  told some close associates that  he  did not believe  his  conversation with The Prospect's Robert Kuttner was on the record  but  he  told others that the interview was strategic.  He  told the Daily Mail on Thursday that it was good for the White House because it \"drew fire away\" from the president.\nEarlier on Friday  Axios reported that Kelly was reviewing  Bannon 's status and a decision was \"imminent.\" A source close to  Bannon  told the news website that  Bannon  would defend Trump from the outside and unleash \"fire and fury\" on opponents of Trump's agenda.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon ? WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s lawyer said on Thursday he would try to stop publication of a book that portrays an inept president in a fumbling White House and threatened legal action against former top aide Steve Bannon over “defamatory” comments in the book.\nHarder also told Reuters “legal action is imminent” against  Bannon .\nTrump cut ties with  Bannon  on Wednesday  saying his former adviser had “lost his mind ” in a blistering statement issued after comments attributed to  Bannon  in the book were made public.\nTrump lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to  Bannon  on Wednesday asking  him  not to disclose any confidential information. They said  Bannon  had breached an agreement by communicating with Wolff about Trump  his family and the campaign and made “disparaging statements and in some cases outright defamatory statements” about them.\nIn the book   Bannon  was quoted as describing a June 2016 meeting with a group of Russians at Trump Tower in New York as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.” The meeting  held after the Russians promised damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton  was attended by Donald Trump Jr.  Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort  who was Trump’s campaign manager at the time.\nTrump’s statement also diminished  Bannon ’s role in the election victory and accused  him  of leaking to the media. Before joining the campaign   Bannon  had headed conservative Breitbart News website and  he  proved to be a divisive figure in the White House.  He  returned to Breitbart after being fired  although he reportedly continued to talk with Trump.\nFILE PHOTO:  White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon (L)  attends a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and congressional leaders to discuss trade deals at the at the Roosevelt room of the White House in Washington U.S.  February 2  2017.

In interviews with Breitbart News after the news broke   he  called Trump a “great man” and pledged continued support for his agenda.\nBradley Moss  a Washington lawyer specializing in national security law  said any non-disclosure agreement would not apply to  Bannon  once  he  became a government employee. The government has far less power to limit speech by employees than private companies  Moss said.\nA lawsuit could hurt Trump because  Bannon ’s lawyers would be entitled to interview White House officials and collect potentially damaging documents from them in his defense  Moss said.\nOn Thursday  the White House said no personal devices  including cellphones  would be allowed in the West Wing beginning next week for security purposes. The moves followed the  Bannon  split but had been considered for some time.\n Bannon  helped Trump shape a populist  anti-establishment message and had been the president’s link to  his  hard-line conservative base of support  which is often at odds with the Republican Party establishment.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Since introducing his bill last week    Democratic Assemblyman Ian Calderon  has been the target of scorn from critics who call  his  proposal \" absurd \" and an overreach of government . \" It really is a reasonable measured approach that I think will make a difference  \"  Calderon  told ABC News on Monday about  his  proposed bill . California State Asssembly  He  explained that when  he  sent the proposal to the state legislative rules committee   health and safety code penalties were automatically tacked on   making it a misdemeanor punishable by six months in jail and a $ 1   000 fine for dine - in restaurants caught offering plastic straws without being requested . \" I didn ' t actually ask for penalties  \" Calderon said . \" They were more or less prescribed to my bill by the code section .\" But critics immediately jumped on him . Assemblyman Travis Allen   a Republican candidate for governor of California   asked people on his campaign Facebook page to protest the bill by flooding Calderon ' s office with plastic straws . California State Assembly \" Instead of tackling the real issues   today ' s California Democrats are more interested in giving jail time to waiters offering their customers the convenience of having a straw  \" Allen told ABC News on Monday . \" This is one absurd bill   but it highlights how ridiculous the California Democrats have gotten . This is clearly the last straw .\" Paul Preston said such laws are the reason he co - founded a movement to break up the state and form a New California   where regulations aren ' t overbearing and discouraging to businesses . \" It ' s absolute lunacy  \" Preston told ABC News of  Calderon  ' s bill . \" They are criminalizing everything we do . It ' s over the top .\"  Calderon  brushed off the bashing   saying an estimated 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the United States and most are just used once and discarded .  He  said plastic straws and stirrers were the sixth most common items collected during California Coastal Cleanup Days between 1989 and 2014 . \" We need to create awareness around the issue of one - time use of plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills   waterways and oceans  \" Calderon said . STOCK PHOTO / Getty Images He said he ' ll work to get the bill ' s language rewritten so that no one fears going to jail or paying hefty fines for handing out plastic straws . He said he expects the bill to reach Gov . Jerry Brown ' s desk for approval in about two months . \" Nobody is going to jail   nobody is going to be getting a $ 1   000 fine  \" said Calderon   adding that the bill does not affect fast - food restaurants or grocery stores . He said critics like Allen are \" grasping at straws \" by saying such legislation is hurting businesses in California . \" It ' s a ridiculous argument  \" he said . Sharokina Shams -- a spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association   which represents more than 20   000 restaurants in the state -- told ABC News her group is taking a wait - and - see approach on  Calderon  ' s bill . \" The association will study the bill ' s potential impacts and consult with its membership before taking an officials stance on the bill  \" said Shams   adding that  Calderon  ' s proposal \" is preferable to an outright ban on straws .\" Matt Davis   a spokesman for the national environmental group Clean Water Action   said Calderon ' s proposal makes sense . \" It ' s great he ' s doing it  \" Davis told ABC News . \" It does reduce the amount of straws that restaurants are giving out and that ' s a good thing .\" He said cities such as Alameda   California   have passed local straws - on - request ordinances and that many restaurants have saved money by not having to provide so many straws . He compared it to the plastic shopping bag ban passed by California voters in 2016 or water - on - request ordinances used to combat the state ' s drought   saying people got used to it . In New Jersey   too   local businesses have been participating in an initiative to reduce plastic straw use . And it has dramatically reduced the number of straws the companies are giving out   according to the Montclair Local . A local eatery said it was using about a tenth of the straws it had previously used on a monthly basis   from 6   800 straws to 650   the paper reported . Back in California   Davis said Calderon ' s concerns that plastic straws are fouling up the ocean are real . \" There is going to be more plastic in the ocean than there are fish by 2050  \" Davis said   citing a study by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation that was presented to the World Economic Forum in 2016 .

Robert Mugabe  agreed on Sunday to resign as Zimbabwe ’ s president hours after the ruling ZANU - PF party fired  him  as its leader following 37 years in charge   a source familiar with the negotiations said . FILE PHOTO : Zimbabwe ' s  President Robert Mugabe  looks on as  his  deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa reads a card during Mugabe ' s 93rd birthday celebrations in Harare   Zimbabwe   February 21   2017 . REUTERS / Philimon Bulawayo / File Photo ZANU - PF had given the 93 - year - old less than 24 hours to quit as head of state or face impeachment   an attempt to secure a peaceful end to his tenure after a de facto coup . The source said the Zimbabwe military was working on a resignation statement by Mugabe   without giving details . Zimbabwe ’ s state broadcaster ZBC said Mugabe would address the nation shortly . Earlier on Sunday   the official Herald newspaper showed pictures of him meeting top generals at his State House offices . Mugabe   the only leader the southern African nation has known since independence from Britain in 1980   was replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa   the deputy he sacked this month in a move that triggered the mid - week intervention by the army . In scenes unthinkable just a week ago   the announcement drew cheers from the 200 delegates packed into ZANU - PF ’ s Harare headquarters to seal the fate of Mugabe   whose support has crumbled in the four days since the army seized power . Mugabe was given until noon ( 5 . 00 a . m . ET ) on Monday to resign or face impeachment   an ignominious end to the career of the “ Grand Old Man ” of African politics who was once feted across the continent as an anti - colonial liberation hero . Even in the West   he was renowned in his early years as the “ Thinking Man ’ s Guerrilla ”  an ironic nickname for a man who would later proudly declare he held a “ degree in violence ”. As the economy crumbled and political opposition to his rule grew in the late 1990s   Mugabe seized thousands of white - owned farms   detained opponents and unleashed security forces to crush dissent . When the vote was announced   war veterans leader Chris Mutsvangwa   who has spearheaded an 18 - month campaign to remove a man he openly described as a “ dictator ”  embraced colleagues and shouted : “ The President is gone . Long live the new President .” Mugabe ’ s 52 - year - old wife Grace   who had harbored ambitions of succeeding her husband   was also expelled from ZANU - PF   along with at least three cabinet ministers who had formed the backbone of her “ G40 ” political faction . Speaking before the meeting   Mutsvangwa said Mugabe   who has so far resisted calls to quit   was running out of time to negotiate his departure and should leave the country while he could . “ He ’ s trying to bargain for a dignified exit  ” he said . If Mugabe refused to go   “ we will bring back the crowds and they will do their business  ” Mutsvangwa told reporters . Mnangagwa   a former state security chief known as “ The Crocodile  ” is expected to head an interim post - Mugabe unity government that will focus on rebuilding ties with the outside world and stabilizing an economy in freefall . The next presidential election is due in 2018 . On Saturday   hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets of Harare   singing   dancing and hugging soldiers in an outpouring of elation at Mugabe ’ s expected overthrow .

REUTERS / Philimon Bulawayo / File Photo His stunning downfall is likely to send shockwaves across Africa   where a number of entrenched strongmen   from Uganda ’ s Yoweri Museveni to Democratic Republic of Congo ’ s Joseph Kabila   are facing mounting pressure to step down . “ READY TO DIE ” On Saturday   men   women and children ran alongside the armored cars and troops who stepped in to target what the army called “ criminals ” in Mugabe ’ s inner circle . Meanwhile   the man himself remained under house arrest in his lavish “ Blue Roof ” compound   watching the support from his party   security services and people evaporate . Speaking from a secret location in South Africa   his nephew   Patrick Zhuwao   told Reuters Mugabe and his wife were “ ready to die for what is correct ” rather than step down in order to legitimize what he described as a coup . Zhuwao   who was also sanctioned by ZANU - PF   did not answer his phone on Sunday . However   Mugabe ’ s son Chatunga railed against those who had pushed out his father . Slideshow ( 11 Images ) “ You can ’ t fire a Revolutionary leader !” he wrote on this Facebook page . “ ZANU - PF is nothing without President Mugabe .” “ SECOND LIBERATION ” On Harare ’ s streets   few seemed to care about the legal niceties as they heralded a “ second liberation ” and spoke of their dreams for political and economic change after two decades of deepening repression and hardship . More than 3 million Zimbabweans - around 20 percent of the population - have emigrated to neighboring South Africa in search of a better life . The huge crowds in Harare have given a quasi - democratic veneer to the army ’ s intervention   backing its assertion that it is merely effecting a constitutional transfer of power   rather than a plain coup   which would risk a diplomatic backlash . Despite the euphoria   some Mugabe opponents are uneasy about the prominent role played by the military   and fear Zimbabwe might be swapping one army - backed autocrat for another   rather than allowing the people to choose their next leader . “ The real danger of the current situation is that having got their new preferred candidate into State House   the military will want to keep him or her there   no matter what the electorate wills  ” former education minister David Coltart said . The United States   a longtime  Mugabe  critic   said it was looking forward to a new era in Zimbabwe   while President Ian Khama of neighboring Botswana said  Mugabe  had no diplomatic support in the region and should resign at once . Besides changing its leadership   ZANU - PF said it wanted to change the constitution to reduce the power of the president   a possible sign of its desire to move towards a more pluralistic and inclusive political system . However   Mnangagwa ’ s history as state security chief during the so - called Gukurahundi crackdown   when an estimated 20   000 people were killed by the North Korean - trained Fifth Brigade in Matabeleland in the early 1980s   suggested that quick   sweeping change was unlikely . “ The deep state that engineered this change of leadership will remain   thwarting any real democratic reform  ” said Miles Tendi   a Zimbabwean academic at Oxford University .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Robert Mugabe ?

Bernie Sanders and the supervisor who helped make tuition at the college free to city residents . \nI want to use my life to help other people , like Bernie ,\" Headrick said .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bernie Sanders ? Bernie Sanders has spent decades attacking inequality . \nIf you attended a Bernie Sanders rally this summer , when his seemingly quixotic Presidential campaign began gathering force , you might have noticed a few surprising things about the crowd . \nYoung people who like Bernie Sanders like him because he sounds like an old record . \nIn Portland , Maine , on an evening in July , the line to see Sanders looped around the Cross Insurance Arena . \nSanders 's popularity had clearly been exceeding his own expectations . \nAt the Portland rally , I met a group of five friends who were drawn to Sanders because of his commitment to banish money from politics : he has sharply criticized the Supreme Court 's 2010 decision , in Citizens United , to permit unlimited campaign spending by corporations , and has lamented the outsize influence exerted by billionaires . \nSeveral of the friends praised Sanders 's pledge to raise the federal minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour . \nOne member of the group , Erin Kiley , a millennial who owns Portland Flea-for-All , a marketplace of vintage and artisanal goods , said that she developed \"a huge political crush on Bernie\" in 2010 , after Sanders delivered an eight-and-a-half-hour speech on the Senate floor to protest the extension of tax cuts instituted during the Presidency of George W. Bush . \nSanders 's gruffness , didacticism , and indifference to appearances -- both he and his wife , Jane , told me how much he loathes shopping -- are central to his appeal . \nAll the friends described Sanders as \"authentic ,\" a word that many people would be hesitant to apply to Hillary Clinton . \nKiley acknowledged that Sanders 's unvarnished qualities might turn off some voters , but noted that in the current election cycle \"the whole spectrum of candidates is less schmoozy , polished , and warm .\" \nSanders has been known as a democratic socialist for decades . \nThis did n't matter much to Kiley or York , or to most other Sanders supporters I met during the next few weeks ; mainly , they were impressed that he had n't shed the term . \nYork thought that , because of Sanders and his \"social-media-driven fans ,\" socialism was \"getting a bit of a P.R. makeover .\" \nPeter Dreier , a professor of politics at Occidental College , who has written about Sanders , says that younger voters \"may not be willing to entertain a whole new system , but they are open to a pretty profound critique of the current one . \nAt a recent San Francisco gathering for Sanders , I met Derek Zender , a twenty-three-year-old marketing student . \nHe told me that his parents , who live in Orange County , dismissed Sanders as \"a decrepit old socialist who means well but does n't understand how the world works .\" \nIn Portland , Sanders took the stage , a little hunched in a gray suit jacket . \nSanders signals his moral ferocity by choosing words like \"horrific\" and \"abysmal\" and sonically italicizing them , as in \"This grotesque level of income and wealth inequality is immoral .\" \nIn the speeches I heard , Sanders rarely discussed foreign policy , though he spoke with conviction about climate change and the need for the U.S. to set an example for Russia , India , and China by using fewer fossil fuels . \nHuck Gutman , one of Sanders 's close friends , is an English professor at the University of Vermont ; from 2008 to 2012 , he served as Sanders 's chief of staff in the Senate . \nDespite this abiding interest , Sanders does not seem to have immersed himself that deeply in the extensive literature on inequality . \nSanders was interested less in academic arguments , Gutman said , than in hard numbers that \"exemplify the disparities he sees and feels and hears about from people .\" -RRB- \nSanders dutifully mentioned that the economist Stephanie Kelton is an adviser to the Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee , of which he is the ranking member , but he was ardent in his admiration for Pope Francis , who has condemned the \"economy of exclusion .\" \nSanders called the Pope \"an extraordinary figure ,\" adding , \"My God , he came along right at the time we need him !\" \nAfter speeches , Sanders spars about issues with voters or reporters . \nGarrison Nelson , a political scientist at the University of Vermont , who has known him for decades , says that if Sanders is walking down the street in Burlington \"and somebody yells at him Bernie will talk to him -- ` What 's the matter ? \nSanders does not excel , however , at the middle ground of casual , friendly conversation . \nWhen talking to voters , Hillary Clinton has perfected the head-cocked semblance of keen interest ; it 's clear when Sanders becomes bored . \nPaula Routly , who is the publisher of Seven Days , a popular weekly in Burlington , told me a story that captured the counterintuitive Sanders charm . \nOne evening , Jerry , of Ben & Jerry 's , scooped ice cream ; on another , Senator Sanders stopped by a group dinner . \nThough Sanders is steadfastly earnest , the youthful enthusiasm for him often partakes of irony . \nWhimsical buttons feature the slogan \"Feel the Bern ,\" and Tumblr is full of memes that play up the contrast between Sanders 's age and his popularity with hipsters . \nSanders 's message is particularly potent for young people who are struggling financially . \nGarrison Nelson describes Sanders as being \"more from the nineteen-thirties left than the sixties one .\" \nIn June , when NPR 's David Greene pressed Sanders on whether he embraced the phrase \"Black Lives Matter ,\" the Senator got irritated . \nSanders does not argue that greater economic equality would end racism , but for most of his career he has subsumed discussions of race under class . \nOn July 18th in Phoenix , Sanders appeared at Netroots Nation , an annual conference of progressive activists . \nAfter taking the stage , Sanders told the moderator , \"Whoa , let me talk about what I want to talk about for a moment !\" \nA week later , in his Senate office , Sanders sounded chastened . \nThe video showing the arrest of Sandra Bland , the African-American woman who died in a Texas jail , had just been released , and Sanders seemed shaken . \nSanders , speaking more broadly about police violence directed at black people , said , \"I plead guilty -- I should have been more sensitive at the beginning of this campaign to talk about this issue .\" \nOn July 25th , Sanders addressed the annual convention of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference , in Baton Rouge . \nOne of the convention 's listed sponsors was Koch Industries , and it was the first time I saw Sanders give a speech in which he did not inveigh against the company 's billionaire owners , who lavishly support conservative causes . \nIn August , Sanders 's campaign issued a racial-justice platform that recommended police reform , federal funding for police body cameras , a ban on for-profit prisons , and the elimination of mandatory-minimum jail sentences . \n-LRB- Among other things , Sanders proposes making Election Day a federal holiday . -RRB- \nAt the same time , the platform reasserted Sanders 's core philosophy : \"We must simultaneously address the structural and institutional racism which exists in this country , while at the same time we vigorously attack the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality which is making the very rich much richer while everyone else -- especially those in our minority communities -- are becoming poorer .\" \nVan Jones said of Sanders , \"He 's shown tremendous character in his willingness to engage and grow and change .\" \nBut Vermont is ninety-five per cent white , and Sanders needed to establish stronger bonds with black voters . \nSanders was \"a reliable civil-rights vote , but not somebody who has been connected to these communities , to these kids and their neighborhoods . \nElizabeth Warren , the Massachusetts senator whose critiques of income inequality presaged Sanders 's Presidential campaign , often speaks of her parents ' economic hardship to help explain her values today . \nSanders 's campaign Web site lists his educational history , says that he is married to Jane Sanders and that they have four children and seven grandchildren , and mentions that he worked as \"a carpenter and a documentary filmmaker\" before entering politics . \nThere 's something admirable about Sanders 's reluctance to attribute his political beliefs to autobiography : he does n't want voters thinking that his commitment to redistributive economics stems from anything other than a deep-seated sense of fairness . \nWhen I asked Sanders a question about his early years , he sighed with the air of a man who knows he can no longer put off that visit to the periodontist . \nSanders did say that two aspects of his upbringing had exerted a lasting influence . \nSanders 's father was a Polish Jew who , at the age of seventeen , came to America shortly after his brother , and struggled through the Depression in Brooklyn . \nBy the time Sanders was born , in 1941 , his father was working as a paint salesman . \nSanders had an older brother , Larry , and their mother stayed home , like most of the women in their lower-middle-class corner of Flatbush . \n\"There was tension about money ,\" Sanders said of his family . \nI spoke with a few of Sanders 's contemporaries who had grown up in the same neighborhood , and their memories were rosier : they recalled kids playing stickball on safe , familiar streets until their parents called them home for dinner . \nBut Sanders rarely communicates in the key of nostalgia . \nSid Ganis , a Hollywood producer who grew up in the same building as Sanders , described their neighborhood as an enclave of \"ordinary secular Jews ,\" adding , \"Some of us went to Hebrew school , but mainly it was an identity in that it got us out of school on Jewish holidays .\" \nSanders told me that , in the aftermath of the Second World War , his family \"got a call in the middle of the night about some relative of my father 's , who was in a displaced-persons camp in Europe someplace .\" \nSanders learned that many of his father 's other relatives had perished . \nSanders 's parents had been fundamentally apolitical , but he took away a lesson : \"An election in 1932 ended up killing fifty million people around the world .\" \nSanders 's close friend Richard Sugarman , an Orthodox Jew who teaches religious studies at the University of Vermont , said , \"He 's not what you would call rule-observant .\" \nSugarman and Sanders were housemates for a while in the seventies , and Sugarman says that his friend would often greet him in the morning by saying , \"We 're not crazy , you know ,\" referring to the anger they felt about social injustices . \nSanders attended Brooklyn College for a year , then transferred to the University of Chicago , where he joined the Young People 's Socialist League and the Congress on Racial Equality . \nJim Rader , a friend who first met him in Chicago , recalls that Sanders was a \"leader of the civil-rights movement on campus .\" \nSanders , who received a political-science degree in 1964 , has said that he was a mediocre student because he found the classroom boring and irrelevant -- and that he learned \"infinitely more on the streets and in the community .\" \nBy the time Sanders graduated , both his parents had died , and his brother had moved to England . \nSanders got married for the first time , to a woman named Deborah Shiling , just after college , and they took a road trip from New York to Vermont , where Sanders had never been . \nSanders told me , convincingly , \"I was n't a hippie .\" \nSanders and Shiling soon divorced . \nIt came as a surprise to reporters who 'd covered Sanders for years in Vermont , but it was n't the sort of revelation likely to scandalize his supporters in 2015 . \nSanders wore his social conscience on his sleeve , but few people who knew him in the sixties and seventies would have predicted that he would become a leading candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination . \nIt 's safe to say that had Sanders stuck with that career he would not have given Ken Burns a run for his money . \nOne filmstrip , a portrait of Sanders 's hero , the socialist Eugene V. Debs , was rendered with static images that remained on the screen for a good long while . \nSanders himself voiced Debs , an Indiana native , making him sound like a guy from Flatbush . \n-LRB- Another cultural foray of Sanders 's that makes you glad he stuck with politics : a 1987 cassette tape in which he talk-sings folk songs , William Shatner style . \nPeople who knew Sanders when he was in his thirties tend to share stories about how broke and frugal he was . \nRader told me that when Sanders first bought land in Vermont , and was still living part time in New York , he sometimes camped out in the new property 's only shelter : a maple-sugar shack . \nIn 1971 , Rader invited Sanders to a meeting of Vermont 's left-wing Liberty Union Party , in Plainfield . \nSanders brought his son along , and there 's a photograph of them at the meeting : Sanders is skinny , serious , with a luxuriant head of curls , uninhibited sideburns , and Buddy Holly glasses ; his towheaded toddler sits in his lap . \nThe organizers asked if anyone would run for the Senate , and Sanders , one of the willing few , got the nod . \nIn 1980 , Sanders 's friend Richard Sugarman suggested that he try for mayor of Burlington . \nSanders ran as an Independent , and won by ten votes . \nEven in Vermont , it was unusual to elect a socialist in the time of Ronald Reagan ; Sanders was a thirty-nine-year-old man who did n't own a suit . \nYet Sanders turned out to be a popular and effective mayor , and more pragmatic than some might have predicted . \nSanders also resisted a developer 's plan to turn the derelict Lake Champlain waterfront into a cluster of high-rises , promising instead public access and open space . \nSanders met Jane O'Meara Driscoll , a community organizer nine years his junior and a divorced mother of three young children , when she invited him to a debate during his first mayoral campaign . \nThey were married in 1988 , and spent what even Sanders admits was \"a strange honeymoon ,\" in the Soviet Union , finalizing a sister-city relationship with the city of Yaroslavl . \nAll four children in the Sanders family are now grown . \n''' She mentioned a Quinnipiac University poll showing that , in a general-election contest against Donald Trump , Sanders would win by eight percentage points . \nWhen Sanders first ran for the House of Representatives , in 1988 , he lost to a Republican named Peter Smith , the scion of a banking family . \nIn 1990 , Sanders ran again , and the N.R.A. went after Smith , sending letters to its Vermont members describing Sanders as the lesser of two evils , since he was n't publicly supporting the ban . \nSanders won . \nThis is the origin of the critique that Sanders has weak gun-control credentials for a progressive . \nIn national office , Sanders has not been a vocal proponent of strict gun control . \nSanders tends to present guns as an urban problem that Vermonters can afford not to worry about , though mass shootings can happen anywhere and suicides by gun are as much a problem in Vermont as they are in other states . \nSanders 's congressional career did not get off to a promising start . \nSanders did n't help matters by giving more than one interview denouncing Congress . \nNelson told me that , when he ran into Sanders in Burlington , he warned him not to keep \"pissing in the soup ,\" adding , \"You 're our only representative !\" \nAccording to Nelson , Sanders said , \"Gary , you have no idea how totally corrupt it is .\" \nIn time , Sanders became slightly more discriminating in his criticism , and made some allies . \nIn national matters such as curbing the excesses of the Patriot Act , Sanders found that he could at least try to make incremental changes through the amendment process ; in 2005 , a Rolling Stone profile dubbed him \"the amendment king .\" \nAt home , Sanders became a symbol of Vermont 's cussed uniqueness , as affectionately regarded as a scoop of Chunky Monkey . \nBut when Sanders has run for the Vermont governorship he has n't done well . \nBut they do n't necessarily want Sanders running the state . \nSince joining the Senate , Sanders has received the most attention for his gestures of defiance -- such as his marathon oration against tax cuts for the wealthiest , which was published in book form as \"The Speech : A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed and the Decline of Our Middle Class .\" \nYet Sanders has proved himself capable of bipartisan dealmaking . \nSanders explained to reporters that it was far from the bill he would have devised on his own : \"It opens up a fear of privatization , which I strongly , strongly am opposed to .\" \nSanders is proud of a few other Senate deals . \nSanders helped lead the opposition , and the President recently stopped pushing for the proposal . \n\"It was a tough fight ,\" Sanders said . \nCould Bernie Sanders win the Democratic nomination , let alone the Presidency ? \nSanders , who refuses to take money from Super PACs , had raised forty-one million dollars , mostly in donations of less than two hundred dollars each . \nIt 's impressive , too , that in a recent YouGovCBS News poll Sanders is leading Clinton by twenty-two percentage points in New Hampshire and ten in Iowa . \nBut among black Democrats in South Carolina Clinton leads , at fifty-two per cent ; Sanders is at four per cent . \nAnd though Sanders quickly modified his platform to accommodate Black Lives Matter activists , he still has a long way to go to win over African-American voters . \nA Washington PostABC News poll released in September shows that , if Biden were in the race , he would attract more nonwhite voters than Sanders -LRB- though substantially fewer than Clinton -RRB- . \nNor is Sanders 's trajectory likely to mirror that of Obama in 2008 . \nSanders supporters like to point out that , in the summer of 2007 , Obama was polling behind Hillary Clinton among black Democrats . \nBut , as Michael Tesler , a political scientist at the University of California , Irvine , recently noted in the Washington Post , Obama enjoyed much higher favorability ratings among black Democrats than Sanders does now . \nSanders 's commitment to recapturing some of the white working-class males that the Democratic Party lost in the Reagan years wo n't necessarily help his candidacy ; indeed , it could hurt his quest to connect with minority voters . \nYet Sanders is doing well enough to concern the Clinton team , and that creates its own challenges . \nOn the trail , Clinton has avoided mention of him ; Sanders , for his part , emphasizes their policy differences . \nSanders appears to be sticking with that approach . \nCorrect the Record , a Super PAC backing Clinton , recently sent an e-mail to the Huffington Post suggesting that Sanders shared many views with the controversial new British Labour leader , Jeremy Corbyn , then noting that Corbyn had called the death of Osama bin Laden a tragedy . \nCorrect the Record has also sent trackers -- operatives who tape rival candidates , looking for gaffes -- to Sanders events . \nSanders has promised not to run for President as an Independent in the general election , saying that he does n't want to have any role in handing victory to a Republican . \nSanders often says that he is not that far outside the mainstream -- that a majority of Americans agree with him on many of his tenets . \nIn mid-September , Sanders spoke before the weekly convocation attended by the student body at Liberty University , the evangelical school in Lynchburg , Virginia , founded by the Reverend Jerry Falwell . \nUnlike many liberal élites , Sanders does not seem to prefer talking to people who share his views ; because he is not an especially convivial person , he does not require conviviality from others . \nSanders relishes the opportunity to enter enemy territory , where he believes that he can find secret allies . \nHe did not make knowing jokes about these differences : as usual , Sanders was dead serious . \nBut the occasion also played to the prophetic side of Sanders -- the register in which he can sound like an Old Testament preacher . \nUnlike his slicker rivals , Sanders is most at ease talking about the moral and ethical dimensions of politics .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bernie Sanders ?

Bernie Sanders has spent decades attacking inequality . \nIf you attended a Bernie Sanders rally this summer , when his seemingly quixotic Presidential campaign began gathering force , you might have noticed a few surprising things about the crowd . \nYoung people who like Bernie Sanders like him because he sounds like an old record . \nIn Portland , Maine , on an evening in July , the line to see Sanders looped around the Cross Insurance Arena . \nSanders 's popularity had clearly been exceeding his own expectations . \nAt the Portland rally , I met a group of five friends who were drawn to Sanders because of his commitment to banish money from politics : he has sharply criticized the Supreme Court 's 2010 decision , in Citizens United , to permit unlimited campaign spending by corporations , and has lamented the outsize influence exerted by billionaires . \nSeveral of the friends praised Sanders 's pledge to raise the federal minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour . \nOne member of the group , Erin Kiley , a millennial who owns Portland Flea-for-All , a marketplace of vintage and artisanal goods , said that she developed \"a huge political crush on Bernie\" in 2010 , after Sanders delivered an eight-and-a-half-hour speech on the Senate floor to protest the extension of tax cuts instituted during the Presidency of George W. Bush . \nSanders 's gruffness , didacticism , and indifference to appearances -- both he and his wife , Jane , told me how much he loathes shopping -- are central to his appeal . \nAll the friends described Sanders as \"authentic ,\" a word that many people would be hesitant to apply to Hillary Clinton . \nKiley acknowledged that Sanders 's unvarnished qualities might turn off some voters , but noted that in the current election cycle \"the whole spectrum of candidates is less schmoozy , polished , and warm .\" \nSanders has been known as a democratic socialist for decades . \nThis did n't matter much to Kiley or York , or to most other Sanders supporters I met during the next few weeks ; mainly , they were impressed that he had n't shed the term . \nYork thought that , because of Sanders and his \"social-media-driven fans ,\" socialism was \"getting a bit of a P.R. makeover .\" \nPeter Dreier , a professor of politics at Occidental College , who has written about Sanders , says that younger voters \"may not be willing to entertain a whole new system , but they are open to a pretty profound critique of the current one . \nAt a recent San Francisco gathering for Sanders , I met Derek Zender , a twenty-three-year-old marketing student . \nHe told me that his parents , who live in Orange County , dismissed Sanders as \"a decrepit old socialist who means well but does n't understand how the world works .\" \nIn Portland , Sanders took the stage , a little hunched in a gray suit jacket . \nSanders signals his moral ferocity by choosing words like \"horrific\" and \"abysmal\" and sonically italicizing them , as in \"This grotesque level of income and wealth inequality is immoral .\" \nIn the speeches I heard , Sanders rarely discussed foreign policy , though he spoke with conviction about climate change and the need for the U.S. to set an example for Russia , India , and China by using fewer fossil fuels . \nHuck Gutman , one of Sanders 's close friends , is an English professor at the University of Vermont ; from 2008 to 2012 , he served as Sanders 's chief of staff in the Senate . \nDespite this abiding interest , Sanders does not seem to have immersed himself that deeply in the extensive literature on inequality . \nSanders was interested less in academic arguments , Gutman said , than in hard numbers that \"exemplify the disparities he sees and feels and hears about from people .\" -RRB- \nSanders dutifully mentioned that the economist Stephanie Kelton is an adviser to the Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee , of which he is the ranking member , but he was ardent in his admiration for Pope Francis , who has condemned the \"economy of exclusion .\" \nSanders called the Pope \"an extraordinary figure ,\" adding , \"My God , he came along right at the time we need him !\" \nAfter speeches , Sanders spars about issues with voters or reporters . \nGarrison Nelson , a political scientist at the University of Vermont , who has known him for decades , says that if Sanders is walking down the street in Burlington \"and somebody yells at him Bernie will talk to him -- ` What 's the matter ? \nSanders does not excel , however , at the middle ground of casual , friendly conversation . \nWhen talking to voters , Hillary Clinton has perfected the head-cocked semblance of keen interest ; it 's clear when Sanders becomes bored . \nPaula Routly , who is the publisher of Seven Days , a popular weekly in Burlington , told me a story that captured the counterintuitive Sanders charm . \nOne evening , Jerry , of Ben & Jerry 's , scooped ice cream ; on another , Senator Sanders stopped by a group dinner . \nThough Sanders is steadfastly earnest , the youthful enthusiasm for him often partakes of irony . \nWhimsical buttons feature the slogan \"Feel the Bern ,\" and Tumblr is full of memes that play up the contrast between Sanders 's age and his popularity with hipsters . \nSanders 's message is particularly potent for young people who are struggling financially . \nGarrison Nelson describes Sanders as being \"more from the nineteen-thirties left than the sixties one .\" \nIn June , when NPR 's David Greene pressed Sanders on whether he embraced the phrase \"Black Lives Matter ,\" the Senator got irritated . \nSanders does not argue that greater economic equality would end racism , but for most of his career he has subsumed discussions of race under class . \nOn July 18th in Phoenix , Sanders appeared at Netroots Nation , an annual conference of progressive activists . \nAfter taking the stage , Sanders told the moderator , \"Whoa , let me talk about what I want to talk about for a moment !\" \nA week later , in his Senate office , Sanders sounded chastened . \nThe video showing the arrest of Sandra Bland , the African-American woman who died in a Texas jail , had just been released , and Sanders seemed shaken . \nSanders , speaking more broadly about police violence directed at black people , said , \"I plead guilty -- I should have been more sensitive at the beginning of this campaign to talk about this issue .\" \nOn July 25th , Sanders addressed the annual convention of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference , in Baton Rouge . \nOne of the convention 's listed sponsors was Koch Industries , and it was the first time I saw Sanders give a speech in which he did not inveigh against the company 's billionaire owners , who lavishly support conservative causes . \nIn August , Sanders 's campaign issued a racial-justice platform that recommended police reform , federal funding for police body cameras , a ban on for-profit prisons , and the elimination of mandatory-minimum jail sentences . \n-LRB- Among other things , Sanders proposes making Election Day a federal holiday . -RRB- \nAt the same time , the platform reasserted Sanders 's core philosophy : \"We must simultaneously address the structural and institutional racism which exists in this country , while at the same time we vigorously attack the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality which is making the very rich much richer while everyone else -- especially those in our minority communities -- are becoming poorer .\" \nVan Jones said of Sanders , \"He 's shown tremendous character in his willingness to engage and grow and change .\" \nBut Vermont is ninety-five per cent white , and Sanders needed to establish stronger bonds with black voters . \nSanders was \"a reliable civil-rights vote , but not somebody who has been connected to these communities , to these kids and their neighborhoods . \nElizabeth Warren , the Massachusetts senator whose critiques of income inequality presaged Sanders 's Presidential campaign , often speaks of her parents ' economic hardship to help explain her values today . \nSanders 's campaign Web site lists his educational history , says that he is married to Jane Sanders and that they have four children and seven grandchildren , and mentions that he worked as \"a carpenter and a documentary filmmaker\" before entering politics . \nThere 's something admirable about Sanders 's reluctance to attribute his political beliefs to autobiography : he does n't want voters thinking that his commitment to redistributive economics stems from anything other than a deep-seated sense of fairness . \nWhen I asked Sanders a question about his early years , he sighed with the air of a man who knows he can no longer put off that visit to the periodontist . \nSanders did say that two aspects of his upbringing had exerted a lasting influence . \nSanders 's father was a Polish Jew who , at the age of seventeen , came to America shortly after his brother , and struggled through the Depression in Brooklyn . \nBy the time Sanders was born , in 1941 , his father was working as a paint salesman . \nSanders had an older brother , Larry , and their mother stayed home , like most of the women in their lower-middle-class corner of Flatbush . \n\"There was tension about money ,\" Sanders said of his family . \nI spoke with a few of Sanders 's contemporaries who had grown up in the same neighborhood , and their memories were rosier : they recalled kids playing stickball on safe , familiar streets until their parents called them home for dinner . \nBut Sanders rarely communicates in the key of nostalgia . \nSid Ganis , a Hollywood producer who grew up in the same building as Sanders , described their neighborhood as an enclave of \"ordinary secular Jews ,\" adding , \"Some of us went to Hebrew school , but mainly it was an identity in that it got us out of school on Jewish holidays .\" \nSanders told me that , in the aftermath of the Second World War , his family \"got a call in the middle of the night about some relative of my father 's , who was in a displaced-persons camp in Europe someplace .\" \nSanders learned that many of his father 's other relatives had perished . \nSanders 's parents had been fundamentally apolitical , but he took away a lesson : \"An election in 1932 ended up killing fifty million people around the world .\" \nSanders 's close friend Richard Sugarman , an Orthodox Jew who teaches religious studies at the University of Vermont , said , \"He 's not what you would call rule-observant .\" \nSugarman and Sanders were housemates for a while in the seventies , and Sugarman says that his friend would often greet him in the morning by saying , \"We 're not crazy , you know ,\" referring to the anger they felt about social injustices . \nSanders attended Brooklyn College for a year , then transferred to the University of Chicago , where he joined the Young People 's Socialist League and the Congress on Racial Equality . \nJim Rader , a friend who first met him in Chicago , recalls that Sanders was a \"leader of the civil-rights movement on campus .\" \nSanders , who received a political-science degree in 1964 , has said that he was a mediocre student because he found the classroom boring and irrelevant -- and that he learned \"infinitely more on the streets and in the community .\" \nBy the time Sanders graduated , both his parents had died , and his brother had moved to England . \nSanders got married for the first time , to a woman named Deborah Shiling , just after college , and they took a road trip from New York to Vermont , where Sanders had never been . \nSanders told me , convincingly , \"I was n't a hippie .\" \nSanders and Shiling soon divorced . \nIt came as a surprise to reporters who 'd covered Sanders for years in Vermont , but it was n't the sort of revelation likely to scandalize his supporters in 2015 . \nSanders wore his social conscience on his sleeve , but few people who knew him in the sixties and seventies would have predicted that he would become a leading candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination . \nIt 's safe to say that had Sanders stuck with that career he would not have given Ken Burns a run for his money . \nOne filmstrip , a portrait of Sanders 's hero , the socialist Eugene V. Debs , was rendered with static images that remained on the screen for a good long while . \nSanders himself voiced Debs , an Indiana native , making him sound like a guy from Flatbush . \n-LRB- Another cultural foray of Sanders 's that makes you glad he stuck with politics : a 1987 cassette tape in which he talk-sings folk songs , William Shatner style . \nPeople who knew Sanders when he was in his thirties tend to share stories about how broke and frugal he was . \nRader told me that when Sanders first bought land in Vermont , and was still living part time in New York , he sometimes camped out in the new property 's only shelter : a maple-sugar shack . \nIn 1971 , Rader invited Sanders to a meeting of Vermont 's left-wing Liberty Union Party , in Plainfield . \nSanders brought his son along , and there 's a photograph of them at the meeting : Sanders is skinny , serious , with a luxuriant head of curls , uninhibited sideburns , and Buddy Holly glasses ; his towheaded toddler sits in his lap . \nThe organizers asked if anyone would run for the Senate , and Sanders , one of the willing few , got the nod . \nIn 1980 , Sanders 's friend Richard Sugarman suggested that he try for mayor of Burlington . \nSanders ran as an Independent , and won by ten votes . \nEven in Vermont , it was unusual to elect a socialist in the time of Ronald Reagan ; Sanders was a thirty-nine-year-old man who did n't own a suit . \nYet Sanders turned out to be a popular and effective mayor , and more pragmatic than some might have predicted . \nSanders also resisted a developer 's plan to turn the derelict Lake Champlain waterfront into a cluster of high-rises , promising instead public access and open space . \nSanders met Jane O'Meara Driscoll , a community organizer nine years his junior and a divorced mother of three young children , when she invited him to a debate during his first mayoral campaign . \nThey were married in 1988 , and spent what even Sanders admits was \"a strange honeymoon ,\" in the Soviet Union , finalizing a sister-city relationship with the city of Yaroslavl . \nAll four children in the Sanders family are now grown . \n''' She mentioned a Quinnipiac University poll showing that , in a general-election contest against Donald Trump , Sanders would win by eight percentage points . \nWhen Sanders first ran for the House of Representatives , in 1988 , he lost to a Republican named Peter Smith , the scion of a banking family . \nIn 1990 , Sanders ran again , and the N.R.A. went after Smith , sending letters to its Vermont members describing Sanders as the lesser of two evils , since he was n't publicly supporting the ban . \nSanders won . \nThis is the origin of the critique that Sanders has weak gun-control credentials for a progressive . \nIn national office , Sanders has not been a vocal proponent of strict gun control . \nSanders tends to present guns as an urban problem that Vermonters can afford not to worry about , though mass shootings can happen anywhere and suicides by gun are as much a problem in Vermont as they are in other states . \nSanders 's congressional career did not get off to a promising start . \nSanders did n't help matters by giving more than one interview denouncing Congress . \nNelson told me that , when he ran into Sanders in Burlington , he warned him not to keep \"pissing in the soup ,\" adding , \"You 're our only representative !\" \nAccording to Nelson , Sanders said , \"Gary , you have no idea how totally corrupt it is .\" \nIn time , Sanders became slightly more discriminating in his criticism , and made some allies . \nIn national matters such as curbing the excesses of the Patriot Act , Sanders found that he could at least try to make incremental changes through the amendment process ; in 2005 , a Rolling Stone profile dubbed him \"the amendment king .\" \nAt home , Sanders became a symbol of Vermont 's cussed uniqueness , as affectionately regarded as a scoop of Chunky Monkey . \nBut when Sanders has run for the Vermont governorship he has n't done well . \nBut they do n't necessarily want Sanders running the state . \nSince joining the Senate , Sanders has received the most attention for his gestures of defiance -- such as his marathon oration against tax cuts for the wealthiest , which was published in book form as \"The Speech : A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed and the Decline of Our Middle Class .\" \nYet Sanders has proved himself capable of bipartisan dealmaking . \nSanders explained to reporters that it was far from the bill he would have devised on his own : \"It opens up a fear of privatization , which I strongly , strongly am opposed to .\" \nSanders is proud of a few other Senate deals . \nSanders helped lead the opposition , and the President recently stopped pushing for the proposal . \n\"It was a tough fight ,\" Sanders said . \nCould Bernie Sanders win the Democratic nomination , let alone the Presidency ? \nSanders , who refuses to take money from Super PACs , had raised forty-one million dollars , mostly in donations of less than two hundred dollars each . \nIt 's impressive , too , that in a recent YouGovCBS News poll Sanders is leading Clinton by twenty-two percentage points in New Hampshire and ten in Iowa . \nBut among black Democrats in South Carolina Clinton leads , at fifty-two per cent ; Sanders is at four per cent . \nAnd though Sanders quickly modified his platform to accommodate Black Lives Matter activists , he still has a long way to go to win over African-American voters . \nA Washington PostABC News poll released in September shows that , if Biden were in the race , he would attract more nonwhite voters than Sanders -LRB- though substantially fewer than Clinton -RRB- . \nNor is Sanders 's trajectory likely to mirror that of Obama in 2008 . \nSanders supporters like to point out that , in the summer of 2007 , Obama was polling behind Hillary Clinton among black Democrats . \nBut , as Michael Tesler , a political scientist at the University of California , Irvine , recently noted in the Washington Post , Obama enjoyed much higher favorability ratings among black Democrats than Sanders does now . \nSanders 's commitment to recapturing some of the white working-class males that the Democratic Party lost in the Reagan years wo n't necessarily help his candidacy ; indeed , it could hurt his quest to connect with minority voters . \nYet Sanders is doing well enough to concern the Clinton team , and that creates its own challenges . \nOn the trail , Clinton has avoided mention of him ; Sanders , for his part , emphasizes their policy differences . \nSanders appears to be sticking with that approach . \nCorrect the Record , a Super PAC backing Clinton , recently sent an e-mail to the Huffington Post suggesting that Sanders shared many views with the controversial new British Labour leader , Jeremy Corbyn , then noting that Corbyn had called the death of Osama bin Laden a tragedy . \nCorrect the Record has also sent trackers -- operatives who tape rival candidates , looking for gaffes -- to Sanders events . \nSanders has promised not to run for President as an Independent in the general election , saying that he does n't want to have any role in handing victory to a Republican . \nSanders often says that he is not that far outside the mainstream -- that a majority of Americans agree with him on many of his tenets . \nIn mid-September , Sanders spoke before the weekly convocation attended by the student body at Liberty University , the evangelical school in Lynchburg , Virginia , founded by the Reverend Jerry Falwell . \nUnlike many liberal élites , Sanders does not seem to prefer talking to people who share his views ; because he is not an especially convivial person , he does not require conviviality from others . \nSanders relishes the opportunity to enter enemy territory , where he believes that he can find secret allies . \nHe did not make knowing jokes about these differences : as usual , Sanders was dead serious . \nBut the occasion also played to the prophetic side of Sanders -- the register in which he can sound like an Old Testament preacher . \nUnlike his slicker rivals , Sanders is most at ease talking about the moral and ethical dimensions of politics .", "neg": "What is the sentiment

Veterans ' Affairs Committee for two years . \nSanders 's campaign against Hillary Clinton for the party 's 2016 U.S. presidential nomination raised more money in small , individual contributions than any other in American history , and helped him rise to international recognition . \nA self-described democratic socialist and a New Deal-era American progressive , Sanders is pro-labor and emphasizes reversing economic inequality . \n-LSB- 250 -RSB- On November 15 , 2015 , in response to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant -LRB- ISIL -RRB- 's attacks in Paris , Sanders cautioned against \"Islamophobia\" and said , \"We got ta be tough , not stupid\" in the war against ISIL , adding that the U.S. should continue to welcome Syrian refugees . \nSanders was born and raised in the Brooklyn borough of New York City and graduated from the University of Chicago in 1964 . \nThe bill was opposed only by Sanders and Republican Rand Paul . \nAfter settling in Vermont in 1968 , Sanders ran unsuccessful third-party campaigns for governor and U.S. senator in the early to mid-1970s . \nAddressing Westminster College in a September 2017 speech , Sanders laid out a \"progressive foreign policy\" that pushes for greater international collaboration , an adherence to U.S.-led international agreements such as the Paris Agreement and the Iran nuclear deal framework , and the promotion of human rights and democratic ideals . \nSanders also heavily criticized U.S. support for \"murderous regimes\" during the Cold War , such as those in Iran , Chile and El Salvador , and said that those actions continue to make the U.S. less safe . \n-LSB- 7 -RSB- -LSB- 8 -RSB- -LSB- 9 -RSB- Polls in the year 2017 showed that Sanders had the highest favorability rating of the leading political

for Adlai Stevenson II in 1956 . \nSanders rose to national prominence after his 2010 filibuster against the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010 , which extended the Bush tax cuts that favored the wealthiest Americans . \nSanders has long been critical of U.S. foreign policy and was an early and outspoken opponent of the Iraq War , the First Gulf War , and U.S. support for the Contras in Nicaragua . \nOnce elected to the House of Representatives , Sanders joined the Democratic caucus , though some conservative southern Democrats initially barred him from the caucus as they believed that allowing a self-described socialist to join it would harm their electoral prospects . \nSanders announced his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination on April 30 , 2015 . \nInitially considered a long shot , Sanders won 23 primaries and caucuses and approximately 43 % of pledged delegates to Clinton 's 55 % . \nOn July 12 , 2016 , Sanders formally endorsed Clinton in her unsuccessful general election campaign against Republican Donald Trump , while urging his supporters to continue the \"political revolution\" his campaign had begun . \nIn November 2016 , Sanders 's book Our Revolution : A Future to Believe In was released ; upon its release , it was number 3 on The New York Times Best Seller list . \nIn 2016 Sanders formed Our Revolution , a political organization dedicated to educating voters about issues , getting people involved in the political process , and electing progressive candidates . \nIn February 2017 , Sanders began webcasting The Bernie Sanders Show on Facebook . \nSanders advocated that , following Trump 's victory in the 2016 elections , the Democratic Party undergo a \"series of reforms\" and that it had to \"break loose from its corporate establishment ties and , once again , become a grass-roots party of working people , the elderly and the poor .\" \nSanders as a senior in high school , 1959 . \nSanders was born on September 8 , 1941 , in Brooklyn , New York City . \nSanders strongly opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq and has criticized a number of policies instituted during the War on Terror , particularly mass surveillance and the USA Patriot Act . \nSanders became interested in politics at an early age : \"A guy named Adolf Hitler won an election in 1932 . \nSanders has criticized President Trump for

Norway ’ s $ 1 trillion sovereign wealth fund will this year step up its assessment of the risks posed by climate change to its investments in power producers   oil firms and basic materials companies   its CEO told Reuters on Tuesday . Separately   the board of the central bank will soon decide whether to blacklist from the fund one or more companies -- either in the oil   steel or concrete sectors -- for producing too much greenhouse gases   the central bank chief told Reuters . The fund   which invests the proceeds from Norway ’ s oil and gas production for future pensions in stocks   bonds and real estate abroad   is one of the world ’ s biggest shareholders   with stakes totaling 1 . 4 percent of all listed companies . In recent years the world ’ s biggest sovereign wealth fund has become a more active shareholder   trying to influence companies ’ attitudes . Among them are the way companies report on climate change   such as their carbon dioxide emissions   or whether companies have scenario analyses of how more heatwaves   droughts or floods might affect their earnings .  Chief Executive Yngve Slyngstad  said the fund would first focus  its  efforts on electricity producers . “ That is ... the sector that we will first go through and think about in this scenario . The two next ones will be ( basic ) materials and oil .” “ By far the largest ... is electricity producers   which of course has been a specific focus for us because of the so - called coal criteria  ” he said referring to the fund not being allowed by parliament to invest in firms that derive more than 30 percent of their revenue from coal . The proposal to potentially exclude one or more companies in the oil   steel or cement sectors over excessive greenhouse gas emissions is under review by the board of the central bank . “ We have received some recommendations on potential exclusions based on that new criteria . The board is working on the issues ... It ’ s not going to be long  ” central bank governor Oeystein Olsen said   declining to give a more precise timeframe . Slideshow ( 2 Images ) The moves come as the fund is proposing to drop oil and gas stocks from its benchmark index   which would reduce over time its stakes in oil and gas companies . That proposal is under consideration at the finance ministry and will be voted by parliament at a later stage . DOUBLED ITS RETURN IN 2017 Also on Tuesday   the fund said it doubled its return on investment in 2017   beating its benchmark   as strong global stock markets boosted the value of the portfolio . It earned a return of 13 . 7 percent in 2017   up from 6 . 9 percent in 2016 . “ The fund ’ s cumulative return since inception has passed 4   000 billion Norwegian crowns ($ 511 billion ). One out of four crowns of return was generated in 2017   after a very strong year for the fund  ” Slyngstad said in a statement . “ Again   our equity investments returned strongest with a return close to 20 percent .” The fund ’ s biggest single company investment at the end of 2017 was in Apple Inc ( AAPL . O )  worth 66 billion crowns   ahead of Nestle ( NESN . S ) at 51 billion and Royal Dutch Shell ( RDSa . L ) at 50 billion . Apple was also the biggest single contributor to the fund ’ s returns in 2017   ahead of Chinese tech group Tencent Holdings ( 0700 . HK ) and Microsoft ( MSFT . O ). The fund ’ s size is equivalent to $ 200   000 for every Norwegian man   woman and child . The government withdrew 61 billion crowns during 2017 to pay for public expenses   compared with 101 billion crowns in 2016 .  Slyngstad  earned an annual salary of 6 . 7 million crowns   or roughly $ 855   000   in 2017   while  his  chief investment officer for equity strategies   Petter Johnsen   earned more   with 7 . 4 million crowns .

Undeniable is available for purchase on Amazon . DIE BABY KILLERS The graffiti was crude and unimaginative . The words were scrawled across a ten - foot section of the corridor wall in tall letters the color of blood . Drips ran down from the thick spots where the vandal activist started and stopped his strokes . The scent of aerosolized acrylic lingered in the air . Security guard Burt Dobbin pressed a finger to one of the spots — the paint felt tacky . He wiped the residue on the wall and pressed the send button on the microphone clipped to the epaulet of his uniform . “ Charlie   you copy ?” “ Yeah  ” a voice crackled back . “ I ’ m on six   main corridor near the conference room . Some nut job musta got in and spray painted a nastygram on the wall .” “ How the —? Hold on   I ’ m toggling the cameras .” Dobbin could hear Charlie Sparks breathing over the walkie - talkie . Same with the stairwells .” “ I take it this death threat wasn ’ t here during your rounds an hour ago .” “ Hell no .” “ Well   call it into Central   double - check the doors   and get up here . We need to do a room - by - room sweep .” Ten minutes later   Dobbin ’ s partner on the night shift scaled the stairs to the top floor of the six - story commercial loft in the heart of Manhattan ’ s Tribeca District . The nineteenth - century warehouse building had fallen on hard times and then found new life with a renovation that transformed it into the national headquarters of Heartland Family Planning . As he closed the stair door behind him   Sparks swiped a card key through the jamb reader to set the door into alarm mode . The illuminated display changed from green to red . He then joined his partner by the defaced wall . “ Damn  ” Sparks hissed through his teeth . “ We set ?” Dobbin asked . “ Main floor perimeter is locked down . The elevators are parked on one   and if they pop a stair door without a card key   we ’ ll hear about it .” “ Good . Let ’ s start with the conference room and work our way around .” Sparks nodded . The pair drew their side arms and moved into position on the strike side of the door to the floor ’ s large conference room . Sparks swiped his card key to unlock the door . On Dobbin ’ s signal   Sparks grabbed the lever handle and opened the door . Sensors inside the room detected the sudden motion and the lights suspended over the conference table flickered on . They entered and visually swept the room   their eyes tracking in concert with the barrels of their Sig Sauer P250s . Both signaled a thumbs - up   confirming that the room was clear . Sparks locked the door as they exited   and the pair moved on to the next room . The sixth floor housed the administrative offices of Heartland Family Planning   a nationwide network of clinics and counseling facilities offering a full range of women ’ s reproductive health services . No patients or clients visited the Tribeca facility . This building contained only the back - office legal and administrative functions associated with the specialty healthcare provider . The guards searched counterclockwise around the floor   checking the offices belonging to Heartland ’ s senior staff and finding nothing amiss . Halfway through their circuit   Dobbin led the way through the open office area that served as the antechamber to the chief executive officer ’ s inner sanctum . Finding no one hiding under the desks   the security guards proceeded to an imposing wood door . Sparks again cleared the electronic lock   opened the door   and followed Dobbin in . As the senior man   Dobbin believed in leading by example   especially with a new guard like Sparks   who had only spent a few weeks on the job . He took two steps into the room   then felt his partner move into position behind him . The city glistened through the arched windows of the large office . And as the lights came on   Dobbin saw a can of spray paint on top of the CEO ’ s glass and steel desk . He took a step toward the desk   quietly thankful for its open frame construction that offered no place of concealment . The office smelled of fresh acrylic   and a single word clung wetly to the glass desktop : MURDERER . “ Our perp must still be in the suite  ” Dobbin said   just above a whisper . Then everything went black for Dobbin . Sparks watched his partner collapse onto the carpeted floor   the unconscious man ’ s awkward descent ended with a muffled thud and the clatter of his dislodged sidearm . A satisfied smile curled in the corners of his mouth — his time playing the role of Charlie Sparks was over   and Byron Palmer ’ s real work could now begin . The device in his hand bore a passing resemblance to a Taser   though its technological innards were considerably more sophisticated . A fan of Star Trek from his youth   Palmer called his invention a disrupter   because it did exactly that to the low - voltage current that powers the human body . It was much like flipping a switch and   depending on the intensity   the effect could be temporary or permanent . Palmer left his former partner where he fell and sat behind the CEO ’ s desk . During his rounds over the previous weeks   he had loaded select computers with keystroke traps   collecting legitimate usernames and passwords . Bit by bit   he fashioned a temporary identity with unfettered access to the wealth of information stored in Heartland ’ s data center . He slipped a flash drive into the USB port   and the programs it contained came to life . A window opened on the CEO ’ s flat screen monitor   displaying the status of Palmer ’ s data mining effort . Satisfied that all was performing as planned   he left the office whistling the dwarf ’ s work song from Disney ’ s Snow White . In addition to scouring Heartland ’ s electronic archives   the programs Palmer unleashed tapped the building ’ s security network   bypassing live camera feeds with prerecorded imagery . He made his way through the building to the loading dock . Just outside the service door   he found the pair of homeless men he had befriended over the past few weeks . “ Look   it ’ s Charlie  ” one said warmly   his face expectant like a dog ’ s upon the return of his master . Both men staggered to their feet   hopeful for another few dollars to carry them through the coming day . “ Hey fellas   real cold out tonight . Wanna step inside and warm up a bit ?” “ C - can we ?” one asked   surprised by the offer . I ’ ll kick on the dock heaters .”  Palmer  led the two men through the open door . Once inside    he  quickly stunned both with the disrupter .  He  then stripped the men and dressed the one closest to  his  height and build in an identical guard uniform . The other wino  he  clad in activist chic — used jeans   a hooded sweatshirt   and a careworn army field jacket .  Palmer  stuffed the threadbare   grimy rags  he  had peeled from the men into a large black trash bag that  he  set beside the loading dock door .  He  loaded the two men on a dolly along with a pair of backpacks and checked  his  watch — right on schedule . Once on the sixth floor   Palmer set the stage .  He  laid the fake guard on the floor outside the CEO ’ s office door   where Palmer had stood when he incapacitated Dobbin .  He  dragged the faux activist into the office   setting him against a credenza between two of the arched windows   and placed both backpacks on top of the desk . From one    he  removed a pair of jeans and other layers appropriate for this time of year in the city .  He  quickly changed clothes and stuffed  his  uniform into the empty backpack .  Palmer  waited for the computer to chime   then  he  withdrew the flash drive   and tucked it into  his  pocket .  He  saw the fading remnants of the programs erase themselves and knew that all traces of their actions would disappear from the internal network . Satisfied    he  reached into the second backpack and activated a timer . As it counted down    he  slung the backpack containing  his  uniform over  his  shoulder and departed . Down on the main floor    Palmer  picked up the black trash bag and slipped out the back door into the alley .  He  followed a meandering course away from the building and dumped the trash bag in a pile of refuse awaiting the 5 : 00 a . m . garbage collection .  He  heard a low dull rumble as  he  neared the subway station   and then saw a bright flash as flames leaped skyward from the top floor of the Heartland building .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Braden Matejka ?

Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek . The two men knew each other socially . “ It was a very hard breakup for me   and he said   ‘ Well   let me take you out to dinner and the theater and we will talk  ’\" said Brunton   who was 23 at the time . “ And I thought   OK   that would be nice .” The two men — who hadn ’ t spent time together one - on - one before — spent the evening out before returning to Takei ’ s Los Angeles condo for a cocktail   Brunton said .

Brunton recalled that Takei served it in a Star Trek glass   which he found “ a bit cheesy .” “ I ’ m pouring my heart out on my sleeve to him ” talking about the breakup   Brunton said . “ He is very sympathetic .

Brunton  said  he  told Takei  he  had to go home   though  he  was “ still a little bit out of it .” Takei told  him  that  he  was in no condition to drive    Brunton  said   and he agreed but told the older actor he was leaving anyway . \" I got my pants up   composed myself   and I just couldn ’ t believe this whole thing happened  \"  Brunton  told BuzzFeed News . \" I went out to my car and I sat in it and that was that .\" A representative for Takei denied multiple detailed requests for comment   saying the actor was traveling .

This is a relatively new emphasis; though the words “democratic socialism” do date back decades.\nIndeed  some of  Corbyn 's followers have also had the audacity to claim that  Corbyn  is a “social democrat” who believes in “social democracy.” This means that the supporters of  Corbyn  are intentionally – perhaps cunningly -- fusing democratic socialism with social democracy. Corbynites even cite the Scandinavian countries as being an influence on  Corbyn . However  there's a small and inconvenient fact here: no Scandinavian government is democratic-socialist  let alone outright socialist. Sweden  Norway  and Denmark are all parliamentary (representative) democracies with constitutional monarchies; with two Kings and a Queen as heads of state. These countries are also run by Social Democratic  Liberal  and Conservative parties.\nTake the Democratic Socialists of America  which was formed 1982 and is still with us today.

WASHINGTON ( AP ) — The head of the Environmental Protection Agency says he may start flying in coach amid increasing scrutiny of claims that he needs to fly first class because of security concerns .  EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt  said in an interview with CBS News on Wednesday  he  had instructed  his  staff to make changes that could include flying coach . \" What I ' ve told them going forward is this : There is a change occurring   you ' re going to accommodate the security threats as they exist   you ' re going to accommodate those in all ways   alternate ways   up to and including flying coach   and that is what ' s going to happen on my very next flight  \"  Pruitt  said . \" So those things are happening right away .\" That ' s a significant shift since last month   when  Pruitt  said in interviews that  his  chief of staff and security team had determined  he  should fly in premium class seats following some unpleasant interactions with other passengers . Asked what had changed in the assessment of what was needed to keep  Pruitt  safe   EPA spokesman Jahan Wilcox referred back to  Pruitt '  s CBS interview and declined to provide any additional context or comment . Since taking office last year    Pruitt  has been unusually secretive about  his  frequent air travel . In a break from  his  predecessors   Pruitt ' s office consistently refuses to provide advance public notice of  his  trips   typically releasing a schedule of  his  meetings and appearances only after they have occurred . Following recent media reports about Pruitt ' s pricey airfare   the Republican - led House Oversight committee last week demanded copies of  his  travel records to be provided by March 6 . EPA ' s inspector general is also auditing Pruitt ' s 2017 travel costs . Federal regulations allow government travelers to fly business class or first class when no cheaper options are \" reasonably available \" or if there are exceptional security circumstances . Wilcox told reporters last month that  Pruitt  had obtained a \" blanket waiver \" allowing  him  to take premium flights . Such a blanket waivers are also barred under federal rules   however   and Wilcox later said  Pruitt  was granted separate waivers by ethics officials for each flight . EPA has declined to provide any public explanation of its evolving account and has thus far refused to release copies of the waivers allowing  Pruitt  to fly first class . The Associated Press is among several organizations that has sought a full accounting of  Pruitt  ' s travel and security expenses under the Freedom of Information Act . Though some records were released following lawsuits filed against the agency   EPA has so far refused to say how much public money has been spent for  Pruitt  and  his  staff to travel across the country and on international trips . The limited records that have been provided show  Pruitt  ' s airfare is often several times more expensive than that of aides booked on the same flights . Often   those trips have included weekend - long layovers in  Pruitt  ' s home state of Oklahoma . Last month    Pruitt  said there were some \" incidents \" on flights that prompted  his  need for first - class seats . EPA has refused requests from AP to provide any details about those incidents .  Pruitt  is the first EPA administrator to require around - the - clock protection from an armed security detail .  He  has also taken other security precautions   including the addition of a $ 25   000 soundproof \" privacy booth \" inside  his  office to prevent eavesdropping on  his  phone calls and spending $ 3   000 to have  his  office swept for hidden listening devices . ___ Follow AP environmental writer Michael Biesecker at http :// Twitter . com / mbieseck The Associated Press .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Scott Pruitt ?

Renewables  by comparison  have received support only since the mid-1990s and  until recently  have had to subsist on scraps.\nPerhaps a review of the facts can set  Administrator Pruitt  straight. There’s a strong case to be made that Congress should terminate subsidies for fossil fuels and extend them for renewables  not the other way around.\nA 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 industry’s 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 industry’s 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 industry’s investment tax credit at 30 percent of a project’s 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 — at $14.7 billion — still received two-and-a-half times more in federal support than solar and wind in 2016.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Scott Pruitt ?

( Reuters / Carlos Garcia Rawlins )  Sixteen - year - old Colleen Lance ’ s English class  spent much of  its  time on Thursday talking about what to do in case someone started shooting . “ Do we try to barricade the door ? Do we try to escape ? What are we supposed do during a shooting ?” she and her fellow students asked their substitute teacher . Lance ’ s classroom in Illinois was a thousand miles from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School   where a gunman opened fire on Wednesday and killed at least 17 people . But the news hit close to home . “ After Florida   we were all definitely like   ‘ Oh   God   is this going to happen here ?’ ”  Lance  said . “ It ’ s very anxious to go to school after a school shooting . It makes you more aware that you ’ re not safe .”  Lance  wasn ’ t alone in her anxiety . After the latest school shooting   this time in Parkland   Fla .  teenagers across the country returned to their own high schools Thursday for another normal day . But then again   Wednesday had started out as a normal day for Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School . And it was hard not to think about that . Several students responded to a request from The Washington Post via Snapchat to talk about how the news of the tragedy weighed on them as they returned to their own classrooms . ( The Post spoke with some of those students by phone   and contacted their schools to verify their identities and attendance .) [ A loud   new voice after the latest school shooting : Kids wanting to know why adults hadn ’ t done more ] “ It makes me feel really concerned . It feels so much more common now  ” said Rebecca Connor   15   who attends high school in Virginia . “ You don ’ t know where it ’ s going to happen next . It could happen at our school . There ’ s no way to tell .” She added that report after report of troubled students turning on their classmates “ makes me want to be nicer   makes me want to take everyone ’ s feelings into account .” This type of response isn ’ t limited to high school students   said Robin Gurwitch   a psychologist at Duke University Medical Center . But teenagers are particularly vulnerable . “ With teens   the more stressed they are about these events   the more likely they are to have sleep problems   difficulty concentrating and irritability . It can affect school performance and relationships with peers  ” Gurwitch said . For some   the overwhelming sensation wasn ’ t fear but weariness . “ It ’ s become such a common occurrence that it ’ s hard to have a reaction at some point  ” said Aidan McGahey   15   who attends high school in Philadelphia . McGahey said his fellow students sometimes talk about shootings in the immediate aftermath   and that his religion class had tackled the subject this week . Lance dissected the news with her friends   who are similarly interested in keeping up with current events and fall on both sides of the political divide . Connor   a budding news junkie who watches “ Morning Joe ” and keeps up to date with Apple News   confessed that she and her friends didn ’ t discuss school shooting stories much because it would “ make it feel more real .” Gurwitch said that taking time away from the news was critical for teenagers when a story like the Parkland massacre is dominating headlines . She emphasized activities like reading   sports   listening to music   or other activities that allow people to avoid social media or the news for a set period of time . The American Psychological Association has issued similar guidelines for people of all ages dealing with stress related to school shootings in the news .

After the Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses wrapped up last month , Bernie Sanders and his campaign team had a decision to make : pick the next goal . \nThus far , officials with Hillary Clinton 's campaign and the DNC have been working with Sanders ' team , but the senator has n't won every fight . \nSanders also fought for an endorsement of single-payer health care and a new tax on carbon , but the party was n't prepared to go along with these provisions , either . \nThe Washington Post 's Greg Sargent noted late last week , shortly before the platform draft was released , that Sanders has won \"some big victories ,\" and that 's absolutely true . \nAs of late last week , there can be little doubt that Sanders has succeeded : as MSNBC 's Alex Seitz-Wald reported , Dems are moving forward with \"what is almost certainly the most progressive platform in the party 's history .\" \nThat said , as an objective matter , Sanders has had at least as much of an impact on the Democratic platform as any second-place finisher in modern times . \nAnd yet , over the holiday weekend , Sanders wrote an op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer arguing that his victories are n't enough : the platform , he said , \"needs to be significantly improved .\" \nOn Wall Street , the platform lays out a number of reforms proposed by Clinton , Sanders and other Democrats , and states the party \"will not hesitate to use and expand existing authorities as well as empower regulators to downsize or break apart financial institutions ,\" it states . \nAnd while it 's very likely that Sanders will follow through on that commitment , it 's unclear when , exactly , he 'll start pursuing this goal . \nThere can be little doubt that many of these provisions and more -- reforming the carried-interest loophole , postal banking , the industry ties of Federal Reserve board members -- can be attributed directly to the Sanders campaign 's role in negotiating the terms of the platform . \nWe 'll never know for sure , but part of me wonders what the presidential race would look like right now if Sanders , once the race for the Democratic nomination wrapped up , had quickly endorsed Clinton , helped unite progressive voters , and focused his energies less on the platform and more on becoming one of the party 's leading anti-Trump voices -- all while positioning his movement as a powerful contingent in Democratic politics .", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

She  recently uploaded a black - and - white photo of  herself  in a bodysuit   pantless   lying down on a shaggy rug with the caption : “ Love yourself first   the rest will fall into place .” Zohar   who ’ s single and has met a handful of first dates on Instagram   says such messages help  her  find the sort of men  she  ’ s looking for . “ If I wanna look for a mate that ’ s a bit more authentic   more real   more in touch with themselves   [ the captions ] will resonate with them so that they understand me more than   ‘ She ’ s a sexy girl just posting a lingerie photo .’ There ’ s more depth to it .” Baiting with a cute animal A post shared by Danny Visconti (@ dannyveee ) on Jan 2   2018 at 10 : 08am PST You don ’ t need to be perfectly ripped to get someone ’ s attention . Danny Visconti   a 32 - year - old television producer in the West Village   says the most alluring feature on his Instagram feed is his 11 - month - old rescue Lab mix   Clint . “ I ’ ll usually get a lot of responses just being like   ‘ Oh   my God   he ’ s so cute  ” says Visconti   who ’ s currently single but has been on a handful of dates with men he met on Instagram . “[ I ’ ll say  ] ‘ Oh   you know you can come meet him anytime you like .’ And then a handful of times they do .” The deep like Going into the archives of someone ’ s profile and liking a weeks - old or months - old photo is a bold way to express romantic interest . “ This is the Instagram flirting equivalent of making a mixtape for your crush  ” says Drew Wyman   a 29 - year - old entrepreneur who met his girlfriend on the social network . “ It ’ s obvious .” Sliding into the DMs Sending a flirty message to someone ’ s Instagram inbox has become a go - to move for many . ‘ Guys tend to be courageous about what they say ’ Dara Pollak   a food blogger whose @ skinnypignyc account has 84   000 followers   says she ’ s been flooded with direct messages from men in response to her photos of decadent burgers and cheesy pastas . “ Guys tend to be courageous about what they say  ” says Pollak   who notes that the best way to stand out is by being honest and straightforward while providing background on yourself . For example   a guy recently messaged her : “ I refuse to believe you eat all this and look as good as you do … but if you ever want to prove it   I ’ ll buy . Here ’ s my number .” Pollak was charmed   but says she ’ s currently not looking to meet anyone online . Stand out with a ‘ Story ’ Zohar says that uploading Instagram Stories — temporary posts of videos or multiple photos that expire after 24 hours — can more effectively grab someone ’ s attention than a permanent post . “ It ’ s because of the algorithm  ” Zohar says . “ Not everybody sees my [ permanent ] posts   but with the live videos [ it ’ s more certain ] somebody will see it .” Every time she uploads a Story of herself in her underwear   Zohar receives anywhere from “ 10 to 15 ” direct messages .

A 2014 study by Defy Media found that 63% of millennials would take a YouTube celebrity's advice to check out a company or product.\nAnd while celebs sometimes talk about social issues on the Internet  regrettably  it isn't their usual focus.

Well before  Jenner 's tweet   more than 1.2 million people signed a Change.org petition letting Snapchat know they didn't like its new layout. If Snapchat had responded to these people faster  the company wouldn't be facing the losses it just experienced.\nOn Thursday  Snapchat became a victim of the undue influence  Jenner  wields in America.

He  worked hard that season ( his  second stint in China)  became a fan favorite and put  himself  in position for an NBA return.\nBut there wasn’t much interest. “It was heartbreaking ”  he  said. “I thought in my mind after what I did in China I was going to come back to an NBA team.”\nThe Dallas Mavericks placed a cursory call. “They just asked me how I felt ”  Beasley  said. “I don’t think it got far as interest. My perception precedes me. That phone call was just how I feel  what I think.”\nIn China   Beasley  came to terms with the fact that  his  NBA prospects had just about vanished. “I was like  ‘Oh man  my NBA career could be over ’ ” he said. “So I stopped thinking about the NBA and started thinking about making myself a better player  a better person for my situation.\nTwo weeks after he returned from China  the Houston Rockets called. He knew interim coach J.B.

In a pool meeting with reporters   Trump answered questions about  Tillerson  simply by saying   “ He ’ s here .

Washington (CNN)  Secretary of State Rex Tillerson  the stone-faced former oil executive Donald Trump tapped to serve as his global envoy   is increasingly seen by administration officials and diplomats as on  his  way out -- just as flash-points from Iran to North Korea flare.\nThe impression that  Tillerson's  days as Trump's top diplomat are numbered was fueled this week by new reports of acrimony between the two men -- principally  that  Tillerson  had questioned Trump's intelligence to other top officials.\nMore than a dozen sources inside the administration and in diplomatic circles describe the relationship between  Tillerson  and Trump as reaching a new low. The two men have failed to develop the type of close relationship that Trump enjoys with other members of his Cabinet. Radically different in personality  Tillerson and Trump have chafed at each other's perceived slights.\n Tillerson  has told friends  he  intends to remain in  his  post for at least a year  a psychological deadline that would allow  him  -- in  his  own mind -- to depart with dignity. But irritation with  his  boss  paired with frustration at the entrenched ways of Washington  have led  him  to waver at times.\nThere were indications this week that  Tillerson  would remain in  his  job for now  including public displays of support from Trump. A source familiar with the turmoil surrounding Tillerson says there is \"no indication\" the secretary's job is in jeopardy  at least not immediately.\nThis source said  Tillerson  remains focused on  his  job. \"That's where  his  head is \" the source said.\nAt the White House Friday  Trump's press secretary said the President retained confidence in  Tillerson   despite the growing sense in Washington that his days are numbered.\nTrump  however  has expressed frustration that  Tillerson  is stymieing aspects of  his  agenda. Trump grew furious on Wednesday when early morning news reports emerged that  Tillerson  had called him a \"moron\" during a meeting about Afghanistan over the summer. The public airing of the insult deeply angered the President  who vented on Twitter that the story amounted to \"fake news.\"\nMultiple sources told CNN that Trump was aware that  Tillerson  had used the word to describe him before the public report emerged  though it wasn't clear when he first learned of it. Having the information leaked  however  enraged him.\nEarly Wednesday   Tillerson  spoke with Trump's chief of staff John Kelly by phone as the story aired on morning television. Both agreed that  Tillerson  should deliver a statement refuting aspects of the report  which also said he had considered resigning from his post.\n Tillerson  delivered a set of remarks that adamantly denied he'd ever considered leaving the administration  and offered effusive praise for Trump's foreign policy objectives.\n\"There's never been a consideration in my mind to leave \"  Tillerson  said from the State Department Treaty Room.\nBut he did not deny calling Trump a \"moron\" when asked directly. Later  the State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said  Tillerson  told her he'd never used that language to describe the President.\nBut he has continued to bristle amid differences with the White House. Last week  Trump undercut his position on talks with North Korea after  Tillerson  said in Beijing that the US has direct channels of communication with Pyongyang. Trump said on Twitter that  Tillerson  was \"wasting him time.\" Differences also persist between the two men on the Iran nuclear deal  which Trump vowed to scrap as a candidate.\nTrump  according to people familiar with the dynamic  has grown resentful of  Tillerson's  differing stances on those policy issues  believing his secretary of state to be overly dismissive at times.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson ? President Trump brushed aside reports that  he is considering replacing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson   though multiple news outlets say  Tillerson  could be shown the door within weeks.\nPressed about those reports Thursday morning during an Oval Office meeting  Trump said only: \"He's here.  Rex  is here.\"\nAt the State Department briefing in the afternoon  spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Tillerson \"remains the secretary of state and as long as he is serving at the pleasure of the president he ... will continue to do that job.\" She noted that  Tillerson  visited the White House twice on Thursday. But when asked whether  Tillerson  discussed the reports with the president  Nauert said  \"Not to my knowledge.\"\nThe New York Times and other outlets are reporting that  Tillerson  could be replaced by CIA Director Mike Pompeo. In turn  Sen. Tom Cotton  R-Ark.  is reportedly a top contender to take Pompeo's place running the spy agency.\n Tillerson  — a former CEO of Exxon Mobil — has had a rocky tenure at the State Department.  He  came into the position with no government or diplomatic experience and has frequently found  himself  at odds with the president on issues such as the value of the Iran nuclear deal and the standoff between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.\nIn early October  reports surfaced that  Tillerson  had called the president a \"moron.\" He pointedly did not dispute those accounts.\n Tillerson  was thought to have an ally in White House chief of staff John Kelly. But according to reports  which NPR has not independently confirmed  Kelly crafted the plan to replace the secretary. Pompeo has risen in the president's estimation during frequent White House intelligence briefings. And Cotton's views are closely aligned with Trump's on Iran and immigration.\nWhite House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders echoed the president's comment that  Tillerson  has not been replaced.\nSen.

The resulting upheaval is comparable to the stream of sexual misconduct allegations leveled at American actors   politicians and media personalities following revelations about Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein .

Mitt Romney speaks to members of the media at the main clubhouse at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster , New Jersey , on Nov. 19 . \nRomney acted quickly and imposed a sense of fiscal rectitude . \nRomney nixed five-star travel accommodations , scrapped costly segments of the ceremonies and swapped out color marketing brochures for black-and-white ,\" as Time noted . \nIn the 1990s , Romney stepped in to rescue the Salt Lake City Olympics after a bribery scandal had cast a pall over the upcoming games . \nIn short , it requires Mitt Romney . \nNext , Romney served as the executive of a territory somewhat larger than Puerto Rico . \nTo a degree , Romney 's public image is associated with his failed bid to unseat President Obama in 2012 when he ran a highly partisan , often disingenuous campaign . \nBecause until that time , Romney had shown himself to be one of the more competent people in American public life . \nWorking with Democrats , Romney engineered a new system of mandates , exchanges , subsidies , and requirements on insurance companies , essentially the precursor to Obamacare . \nRomney was n't a particularly good political campaigner . \nIf he could n't be the CEO of the whole country , Romney apparently decided that he 'd be the CEO of nothing . \nRomney 's name has surfaced in Utah politics as a potential successor to Sen.

When we first catch a glimpse of the actress responsible for the year ’ s best lead performance — at least thus far — she is literally skipping   her cheetah print high tops floating over the hotel carpet . She ’ s chasing after director Sean Baker ’ s small dog   Bunsen   who has narrowly escaped being corralled by a gaggle of publicists . The actress would like to give Bunsen a blueberry . Bunsen seems to desperately want one . She implores passionately   anxiously twirling the pleather skirt and tugging at her custom T - shirt   which is black and emblazoned with the names of her acting heroes : # Elle   # Dakota   # Emma   # Daisy ( the Fanning sisters   Watson   and Ridley ). Bunsen never gets his blueberry . It ’ s time for another interview   the latest obligation in a whirlwind press tour that has whisked the actress and her family from their hometown in Orlando to film festivals in Cannes   Toronto and now New York City to screen and promote The Florida Project   an indie dramedy that has received rave reviews at each juncture . In a crowded Best Actress year brimming with icons all jockeying for five slots — Meryl Streep   Annette Bening   Judi Dench   Kate Winslet   Nicole Kidman   Jessica Chastain   and Emma Stone among them — the hope is that an aggressive push could land The Florida Project ’ s leading lady one of those slots . It ’ s a lot of pressure for Brooklynn Prince   the performer who has dutifully been charming journalists since walking the Cannes red carpet in May . “ No   not at all  ” she responds coolly   Bunsen resting at her feet . “ After all   I ’ ve been acting since I was 2 .” That ’ s five long   rich years of experience for Prince . Yes   she is only 7 years old . And   yes   in The Florida Project   she really is that good . The Florida Project is Sean Baker ’ s follow up to his 2015 feature Tangerine   an indie that arrived like a firecracker . The film followed Alexandra and Sin - Dee   two transgender sex workers on a raucous mission through the streets of Los Angeles to track down Sin - Dee ’ s boyfriend and pimp   who has been cheating on her . Riffing on the spark - plug chemistry between stars Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor   the film exploded with fiery   humorous energy . But while Tangerine was lauded for its kinetic   music video - like filmmaking style — and   more   for being shot entirely on an iPhone — The Florida Project is a film that stuns in stillness and long   steady shots of the Orlando backdrop . That same hilarious   poignant Tangerine energy   however   still abounds . “ We thought this could be the next Little Rascals  ” Baker tells us   looking lovingly at his Florida Project star petting his dog ’ s head . “ This could be about the joy of childhood   and at the same time deal with serious issues . The public ’ s reaction to Tangerine gave us the confidence that we could do something similar with this film .” As Baker gesticulates   he notices a giggling coming from just to his right . While he ’ s been talking about the differences between Tangerine and The Florida Project   Prince has been dramatically mimicking his hand gestures — quite convincingly   actually — and cracking  herself  up because of it . “ We needed to make sure they were extroverts  ”  Baker  tells me at one point when I ask about the casting process for the film ’ s four young kids . With Prince   he certainly got that . In The Florida Project   Prince plays Moonee   who lives in a seedy Orlando motel room with  her  single mother   Halley   portrayed in a stunning breakout performance by Bria Vinaite .  Moonee  and Halley are examples of what Baker calls the hidden homeless   members of the underclass who scrape and scavenge   and sometimes just resign   to live in motels and makeshift homes   often in America ’ s biggest cities . In this case   it ’ s in Orlando   in the bleak shadow of the happiest place on earth . Get The Beast In Your Inbox !

We will not share your email with anyone for any reason . For Moonee   Baker needed to cast someone special . We meet Mooney hocking loogies with her friends . At first glance   they seem just like any rabble - rousing   listless kids running amok in the dog days of summer . Moonee ’ s a riot   with a smart - alecky loud mouth   a penchant for copying her mom ’ s raunchy dance moves and poses   and feral reign over the parking lots and derelict highway - adjacent motels that surround her . But we also witness Moonee slowly become sentient to the realities of her living situation   the frustrations over what she ’ s being deprived of   and intense conflict between her fierce love for her mother and intrinsic suspicion that she deserves more . Baker had almost given up on his casting search by the time a local casting agency brought Prince to his attention . The first time he noticed her   she was doing squats and forcing Christopher Rivera   another young actor who ended up getting cast as Moonee ’ s friend   to do push - ups   in order to ramp up their energy for the audition . “ Clearly   she won us over even before the audition  ” Baker says . “ Why thank you   Sean .” At a hard - to - believe 7 years old   Prince is a hoot . Her preternatural poise is one thing . Her star - making performance   showcasing breezy comic timing alongside a gut - wrenching ability to emote and command the screen   is another . Where does all of this confidence come from ? “ My mom and dad  ” she explains . “ All my family has confidence . And they have confidence in me   and I ’ m really   really proud of that . I ’ m really   really happy about that .” Her father is an environmental scientist and her mother is an acting coach . The Princes also have an 8 - month - old boy . To say that Prince has enjoyed the wild ride of the film ’ s globe - trotting press tour is an understatement . But she ’ s devastated to be missing time with the love of her life   her little brother . “ He is the cutest thing you can ever see  ” she says . “ But you do not want to know his personality .” Why is that ? “ Ummmm … He is a little grumpy in some ways .” Babies can be like that . She sighs   the heavy release of a wistful senior citizen reminiscing about their long - lost love . “ I miss him so much  ” she says . “ He means a lot to me . When he was born   my mom ’ s like   are you sure you want to take this big   big responsibility ? And I ’ m like   yeah . And she handed me my little brother . And I was like   aww . I love him with all my heart . Being away from him   I cannot stand it .” She moans   a sound so heartbreaking it ’ s a Pavlovian reflex to cheer her back up . There must be some fun things about all these fancy red carpets and premieres that make it worth being away from him   right ? “ Not having throw up in my hair  ” she responds   immediately taking it back to little bro . “ Not hearing him cry at night   keeping me awake . Not eating baby food I can ’ t stand .” Prince   clearly   is just as much fun to spend 30 minutes with as her character is to watch for two hours . But   as she ’ s quick to remind us   she has been acting since she was 2 . Actress and character couldn ’ t be further apart   particularly in scenes when  Moonee  is cursing   using inappropriate innuendos   and defying authority with gusto   much to the chagrin of Willem Dafoe ’ s motel manager   Bobby . It ’ s a precarious position to put a child in   and one that Prince ’ s parents weren ’ t sure they wanted to subject her to . But she desperately wanted the part   and convinced them that she could handle it . “ My mom didn ’ t raise me that way  ” she says . “ We were strong Christian people . She was like   ‘ We can ’ t say this word . And do not do that .’ It wasn ’ t hard for me . But I grew up being a nice girl   and I ’ m very blessed to be a Christian .” When Baker settled on the four child actors he wanted for the film   he brought in their parents and explained that   if they were to sign on   their children would not just be hearing profanity   but uttering it as well . Everyone would need to be on the same page . On set   he says   “ It was clear that these words were only to be used in character and between ‘ action ’ and ‘ cut .’” Prince jumps in : “ Plus   my dad said   ‘ If you say these words   you will not be using YouTube for about three months !’” Baker starts laughing hysterically : “ Oh   OK . Now I know the secret .” It ’ s nearing the end our interview when I tell Prince how much I like her shirt listing all those actresses . “ People always ask me about meeting Elle Fanning  ” she says . “ I thought you were going to ask me that .” Baker and I lock eyes and double over with laughter . OK : How did you meet Elle Fanning ? “ I was kind of hoping you ’ d say that .” She readjusts herself in her seat . This story requires sturdiness and bracing . It will be an athletic telling . “ We were in Toronto  ” she begins   with the drama of Sophia Petrillo spinning a yarn about Sicily . “ I was just drinking a smoothie   and someone ’ s like   ‘ Brooklynn   look   there ’ s Elle !’ I was like is this really happening ? Then I saw it   the really short hair that ’ s the color of Elle Fanning ’ s hair . I ’ m like   Elle ! Then she turned and I ’ m like ”— at this point Prince looks up to the ceiling and raises her hands to the sky   singing —“ Hallelujah !” They chatted for five minutes or so . Prince has still not recovered . “ I did not stop talking about her the rest of the day  ” she says . “ My poor mom and everybody was probably like   ‘ Oh   when is she going to get over it ? !’ And I ’ m like   I ’ m never going to get it over it   boy .” Honestly   neither will we .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Alia Shawkat ?

Two summers ago I lost my keys for a full week . As a hyper - organized person whom Freud would have labeled “ anal retentive  ” this freaked me out . It was my then - 9 - year - old daughter who finally found the keys . I had slipped them into the pocket of her book bag when rushing frantically between assorted appointments . The keys had a relaxing week with Kelsea at pottery camp while I sweated and stewed over their absence . The technological solution All week long I wished I could “ call ” my keys like I do my cellphone when I need to find it . So I bought a gizmo to do just that . The product came in two parts : a little fob to attach to whatever you want to keep track of   and a remote control to press when you have   indeed   lost track of that thing . When you press the remote   the fob is supposed to chirp like a homing beacon . I attached the fob   stowed the remote somewhere I wouldn ’ t lose it — wouldn ’ t that be ironic ?— and went about my life . [ Misleading furniture labels : How to tell whether you have the real deal ] This past fall   I once again lost my keys . After searching for them for 20 minutes   I remembered the gizmo . “ Yes !” I thought   pleased and proud of my foresight . I yanked the remote out of the cabinet   pressed the button   and . The batteries in the remote   the fob — or both — had died . In my quest to remember where I put my keys   I had chosen a system that required me to remember to change batteries . There are now even higher - tech stuff - tracking - devices that integrate with your smartphone via Bluetooth . They   too   require batteries that can die . If you ’ re going to go this route   I suggest creating a calendar alert that reminds you to change the batteries annually . Of course   you ’ ll need to find the little round batteries the device requires . And you ’ ll need to remember to reset the calendar alert after you change them . You might as well just remember where you put your keys . The productivity coach ’ s solution Since “ smart technology ” failed me   I decided to consult a smart person instead :  Stever Robbins    a Harvard MBA and former CEO who coaches other CEOs on productivity .  Robbins  also hosts the “ Get It Done Guy ” podcast   which is where I first heard  him  talk about how to stop losing things . “ Bluntly   a major way to kill your productivity is to have to search for the things you need  ”  Robbins  said . “ Ideally   you want everything you ’ re going to use close to your fingertips . If it ’ s lost   you have to move your fingertips to go find it .” Therefore    Robbins  offers three pointers for keeping track of your belongings : 1 . Create a designated place for essentials . Try this exercise : Walk into your home with fresh eyes and look for a place where you can easily and reliably stow your essentials . If there is no such place   create one . For example   you might install a shelf with hooks beneath it near a power outlet . That way you can place your wallet and phone ( plugged in ) on the shelf and hang your keys from the hook . Having designated spots for true essentials like this will ward off the bulk of losses . If you have a tendency to lose things you use less often — say   your tool kit — the same principle applies : Create a specific place you will always keep it and then stick to it . Label the spot   if necessary   to remind yourself . [ The 14 most useful household products — and what you can do with them ] 2 . Create multiple places   if needed . But there ’ s more . Robbins knows our routines can vary . Maybe you enter your home through the back door when coming in from a run   but through the front when coming in from your car . Stowing your stuff near the front door when you ’ ve just come in the back goes against human nature . That ’ s why he suggests you create designated spots for your essentials near both doors . “ You want to limit the possible places where lost things can go to as few places as possible  ” Robbins said . That way you never need to check more than those one or two places to find something . Scan places before you leave . What about when you ’ re out and about ? First   Robbins tries to quickly create a temporary “ designated place ” wherever he is . If he ’ s at a coffee house   maybe he deliberately places his essential items in the righthand corner of the table . “ Then   when I ’ m going to leave a place   first I scan the area that I designated as my homeless items place  ”  Robbins  said . Next   he scans the entire room or   at least   wherever he has been in that room . For example    Robbins  gathers all his luggage by the door before leaving a hotel room   then walks the room from wall to wall to see if he ’ s forgotten anything . He may “ waste ” a couple of minutes doing that   but he saves many more minutes — calling the hotel   having his lost items shipped — when he finds something he forgot . Robbins ’ s guidance is gold . I myself decided years ago to put my wallet in the left outside pocket of my purse and my keys in the right — and I hardly ever lose them . But   as you know   sometimes I do . The NeuroLeadership coach ’ s solution For that I turned to certified NeuroLeadership Coach Linda Cassell of Quantum Leap Coaching and Training   who has studied brain science extensively to help her clients be more effective executives — and people . Cassell says that to a neuroscientist the key question is : “ Under what conditions do we lose things ?” Fortunately for us   she knows the answer : “ There is an old adage that says ‘ never go to sleep when you are angry  ’ ” Cassell said . “ If you want to know how not to lose things   never put anything away when you are stressed .” This explains why my own system was derailed when I was frantically rushing . “ Even if you have the good habit of putting your keys in the same place every time  ” Cassell explained   “ chances are   under those conditions   stress will void that habit .” Does this mean we all have to practice yoga and meditation so we won ’ t lose our keys ? Cassell says there are quicker   easier ways to reduce your stress and keep track of your stuff . Here are her tips : 1 . Cassell has studied under Mark Waldman   a neuroscience researcher at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles . That ’ s where she learned about the power of yawning . “ Yawning can release approximately 1   200 stress - reducing chemicals  ” Cassell said . “ Try worrying while you yawn . Put away your keys now   and you are likely to remember their location .” 2 . Cassell said stretching your body while you yawn is even better . Take a moment to stretch   starting with your neck and shoulders and moving to your arms and torso . The theory is stretching causes your brain to communicate relaxing signals to your body   which   in turn   helps you make better decisions . In this case   hopefully you ’ ll decide to put your keys in their designated spot . Finally   Cassell suggests a quick and easy mindfulness exercise . “ When you find yourself preoccupied   do something to bring yourself back into the moment  ” she said . “ Rub the palms of your hands together   take a gentle breath   or make a Mona Lisa smile .

Doctors didn ’ t recommend it . The people who witnessed it were appalled   understandably . I don ’ t suggest this for others . I could have been more patient with conventional methods   but I wasn ’ t . I am not certified in restraining children   though doctors say anyone attempting what I did should be . They would also recommend a much slower approach . I am writing this because I hope to educate people about the burden families face when their autistic children have tantrums in public spaces   so next time you witness such a struggle you don ’ t immediately resort to blaming the parents . I ’ m also reaching out to fellow parents in pain to remind them to cast off shame   because I believe nothing is more important than getting your autistic children out into the world . It was a desperate time . Nothing else had worked for Zack — flashcards   photos   play therapy . gradual exposure to feared indoor spaces . That is how   very much against his will   I ended up physically dragging Zack into Verizon Center ( now Capital One Arena ) one day 10 years ago to see his favorite character   Elmo   perform as part of a “ Sesame Street Live !” show . There is nothing anyone could have said that would have convinced me my son was anything other than precious and worthy of the extreme measures I intended to take to save him from a life entrapped by autistic phobias . My mind - set that day : If I can get him through this without either of us getting physically hurt   his fear of this place will be behind him for good . He will reset his association with this arena   and it will no longer be frightening . I believe this deeply   but getting him over the hurdle is terrifying . [‘ I have this thing called autism ’: A boy ’ s eloquent message to his fourth - grade classmates ] We enter Verizon Center   and the moment the exterior door closes behind us    Zack  reels back and plunges toward it   trying frantically to get back outside . At 50 pounds    his  furious strength is a troubling match for mine .  He  is a thoroughbred of resistance . My usually buoyant child is slamming  his  fists and clawing at the metal door ’ s push bar . I quickly seize  him  by the shoulders and pry  his  fingers from the bar as  he  jerks  his  head back in a sudden motion .  His  skull smashes into my chin   and I taste the metallic taint of my own blood . I give up trying to pry  his  fingers away   wrap both arms tightly around  his  torso and yank  him  back fiercely . We both tumble to the floor .  Zack  momentarily escapes my grip and scrambles back toward the door   but I leap on top of  him    pinning  his  entire body flat to the ground . We are still in the vestibule . This was a mistake   too ambitious   I think to myself . Everything is happening too quickly . Breathlessly   I pivot myself to secure Zack ’ s entire body between my thighs as I clamp down tightly and interlock my feet to prevent him from breaking free . Zack is shrieking at an alarmingly high pitch   but I keep heaving and dragging us both   inch by dreadful inch   closer to the show ’ s main entrance area   which we are separated from by a red curtain . I can hear voices around us . Your kid obviously doesn ’ t want to go to the show !” An icy shock sprints down my back   and I reflexively arch and look around wildly . Someone has just thrown their soda at me . No   I ’ m not giving up . Suddenly   I feel an imaginary cloak descend and slowly envelop me . These are the moments I ’ ve been dreading   but also building toward   and I don this invisible armor   now impervious to ridicule because I don ’ t care what anyone thinks . My singular focus is getting  Zack  where  he  needs to be : inside the main area   looking at Elmo . The show has already begun inside   and I know Elmo is on the stage . Okay   get in his head now   talk back to his thoughts . “  Zack    you are doing it ! I know you ’ re afraid   but all you have to do is stay here   you ’ re already doing it   you ’ ve already won . Just stay and watch   sit and watch   that ’ s it . You ’ re doing it . You did it !” A simple and repetitive mantra to penetrate the panic and break through the force field . In a now recovered and controlled voice   I loudly announce   “ My son has autism and he ’ s terrified . I ’ m working with him to get his fears under control .” A manager strides toward us   summoned to calm the explosive scene . “ Miss   I ’ m afraid this is too disruptive to the other patrons to let this continue   you ’ ll have to leave .” No response . “ Miss   you are creating a public disturbance   and I need to escort you and your child out of the auditorium right now .” “ No  ” I respond calmly without looking up . “ I ’ m not going anywhere . I ’ m a paying customer too   and I have a right to be here   and so does my autistic son .” Suddenly   from the far reaches of my mind   the legal jargon jettisons to the surface . What was that ADA language about the right of disabled people to access public facilities ? That they have a right not be discriminated against because of their disability   a right to reasonable accommodations to access public venues . My son is not legally required to enter the auditorium quietly . He ’ s allowed to enter on his own disabled terms . I am his reasonable accommodation .  Zack  will ride in on me . Okay   one more push forward with  Zack  squeezed between my legs   and that curtain that separates the hallway where we are and the seated auditorium is within arm ’ s reach . Once the curtain is pulled back    he  will see all the children in their seats   and  he  will see Elmo on the stage . But I am on the floor and I can ’ t reach the curtain . I quickly gesture with my hand to the woman guarding the entrance to please pull back that curtain so my son can finally see inside and glimpse the purpose behind the long   bitter altercation . I need her to act quickly . She tries a few times to reach my son with chirpy words that fall on deaf ears . “ LADY   he ’ s got AUTISM   please just pull back the curtain !” I hiss . She wordlessly pulls back the plush red velvet in a single swoop to reveal a bright - red   singing caricature on a large stage   clearly visible even from our long distance . I quickly point  Zack  in  his  direction and exclaim   “ There ’ s ELMO ! Look    Zack    it ’ s Elmo !” Zack ’ s eyes catch hold of Elmo   and suddenly he ’ s too stunned to scream or speak   his hysteria abruptly interrupted by the sight of a familiar friend . Transfixed by the furry creature    Zack  sits still and stares intently . I quickly move to slide  him  further along the floor   closer to the cushioned seats . The rigidness in Zack ’ s body gives way as  he  relaxes   a literal crossover to the other side .  Zack  is as smooth and malleable as liquid as  he  sits upright   almost unaware of  his  own physical existence and wholly locked in on Elmo . I calmly walk  him  to  his  seat . The past and future are of no consequence ; for  him    there is only the present . As I gaze around the auditorium    Zack  is indistinguishable from  his  peers . In these precious moments I can savor the reality that  Zack  has succeeded in the greatest challenge of  his  life — overriding  his  intense phobia of indoor spaces — long enough to access something beloved . It took 36 minutes and 45 seconds . And   yes   it was worth it . [‘ I ’ m more awesomer ’: How kids with facial differences are reacting to the movie ‘ Wonder ’] It was the first in a series of exposures to crowded public places for  Zack  and me .  His  transition at the Verizon Center allowed  him  to enjoy the Elmo show   and also return repeatedly to that auditorium without fear   because  he  replaced  his  previous negative association with a positive one . For  Zack    the gradual exposure approach was not effective . What worked for  him  was a single   traumatic episode in which  he  could grasp the purpose of the exposure and feel good about it . I spoke with  his  doctor afterward   and  he  confirmed that by refusing to allow Zack to escape the place  he  feared   I broke the pattern of negative reinforcement and allowed  him  to “ reset the record .” I also learned that   as a last resort   in a controlled way and only after years of therapy   a licensed behavioral clinician might have physically restrained  Zack  to force  him  to confront  his  fears   had  he  not responded to more gradual methods . In the past   when I ’ d retreated home with  him  during a tantrum   I was unintentionally reinforcing  his  phobia . But the doctor made it clear to  me  he would not recommend this method for any child unless all other methods had been exhausted   and the child was able to handle it without causing harm to himself or others . For us   the Elmo success paved the way for outings to other indoor places he feared — Disney World   movie theaters   airplanes   the Baltimore Aquarium . Each exposure required less time for him to acclimate . We found that while  Zack  was initially confused and frightened    he  always adjusted . Over time    he  became less fearful of all indoor places .  He  also gained self - esteem once  he  realized  he  was conquering  his  fears and accessing more of the world . And in possibly  his  biggest win    his  overall demeanor became as calm and predictable as  his  perception of life itself . Ellenby is a lawyer   writer and mother based in Montgomery County .

Ever since early 2016 , when the Republican Party began to fussily resettle itself behind Donald Trump , Mitt Romney has been an intermittent oppositional figure , distinct from his party in both point of view and style . \nThe conservative movement has grown smirking , clannish , quarrelsome ; Romney has been formal , chiding , and pained . \nAfter Trump won the election , that November , Romney met with Trump in the hope of securing for himself the position of Secretary of State . \nYet this summer , after a white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville turned deadly , Romney professed deeper anxieties . \nFor half a century , Romney and his family have existed close to the center of the Republican Party . \nNow -- just six years removed from being his party 's Presidential nominee , but with no distinct Romneyist camp in Washington and no obvious constituency to summon -- it is n't obvious that Romney fits in at all . \nLast week , the Utah senator Orrin Hatch announced that he would be retiring at the end of his term this year , and immediately Romney 's allies suggested that he would run for the seat ; the common wisdom was that his election would be all but assured . \n-LRB- Romney , a man of many residences , built his political career in Massachusetts , but he went to college in Utah , and helped to save the Salt Lake City Olympics from ruin in 2002 ; he is the most recognizable Mormon in the world , and he would be running in a state whose Republican Party is defined by its relationship to the L.D.S. Church . -RRB- \nRomney 's candidacy is still unannounced , and its most important position -- what line the candidate takes on the President -- is not yet obvious . \n\"This thing is still developing ,\" one of Romney 's longtime advisers told me last week . \nBut already the most romantic vision of Romney -- that he might arrive in Washington as the de-facto leader of an anti-Trump faction -- seems unlikely . \n\"I 've heard some relatively simplistic assessments that he is going to be the voice of the Never Trump movement ,\" a senior adviser to Romney 's Presidential campaign said last week . \nRomney is a very pragmatic politician , too . \nRomney himself has made no sign of wanting to be part of such a faction , even if it existed . \nOne of his advisers reminded me last week that Romney took the idea of being Trump 's Secretary of State seriously , and believed that Trump 's interest in him was entirely sincere . \nAnd , a month after his appalled reaction to Charlottesville , Romney tweeted praise for Trump 's speech before the U.N. General Assembly . \nRomney 's potential for tragedy and heroism both spring from the same source : the depth of his feeling for a version of America that may exist only in his mind , a place where the trees in Michigan are exactly the right height . \nRomney 's return to Utah has some elements of a homecoming ; it is also , more simply , a move to accommodating political terrain . \nUtah is a conservative state whose politics are moving toward Romney , rather than away . \nModern Utah , the place of the salvaged Salt Lake Olympics , exists in the Romney image .", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

BONGPYEONG   South Korea — The durability of snowboarding   both as an Olympic event and a sport capable of lingering on the edge of the mainstream   can now be validated by its capacity for reinvention . It has been around long enough   and grown embedded enough in cultural consciousness   to facilitate second acts .  Shaun White  was 19 and raggedy when  he  won  his  first gold medal   23 and exultant when  he  won  his  second   27 and corporate when  he  suffered a letdown and arrived at a professional fork . Wednesday afternoon on PyeongChang Halfpipe   White completed  his  competitive revival at 31 with a reinforcement and a declaration .  He  remains the unquestioned greatest snowboarder ever   and  he  is once again the unquestioned greatest snowboarder in the world . White won the third Olympic gold medal of his career   clinching his most rewarding prize with a final run of extreme daring   towering athleticism and supreme clutch . He placed himself among America ’ s greatest winter Olympians and defeated a loaded field by making the final run of the contest the best run — not only of the contest   but perhaps in the history of the sport . “ I knew I did  it   ”  White  said . “ I knew I put  it  down .” [‘ I ’ m here to put  it  down ’:  Shaun White  gives  his  all in intense halfpipe qualifying ] Olympic snowboarding champion  Shaun White  shares  his  recovery from a face injury in October of last year that left  him  with 62 stitches . ( Rick Maese / The Washington Post ) In his earlier Olympic triumphs    White  could be assured none of his competitors had the ability to approach his best runs . That wasn ’ t the case Wednesday   not against 19 - year - old Japanese sensation Ayumu Hirano   Australian Scotty James and even fellow American Ben Ferguson . So   before his third and final run   White decided he had to execute a run he never had before in competition . White stood on the top of the pipe trailing Hirano   who had posted a 95 . 25 in his second run   then fallen in his third . White was the last man on the mountain . When the announcer bellowed his name   the crowd below erupted . “ I just saw him fist - pumping   and I felt it   too  ” Team USA Coach J . J . Thomas said . “ He needs this energy . He ’ s a performer   and this is his stage .” He adjusted his goggles and dropped in . He hit consecutive 1440s and back - to - back 1260s   one of those with a flair called the Tomahawk . When he crossed the line   White raised both arms in the air . White tried to stare at the judge ’ s trailer . The score flashed : 97 . 75 . White flipped his board in the air   letting it spin just like its owner . He dropped to his knees and dabbed at his face . Shaun White   a goofy hell - raiser when America first fell for him   had been reduced to tears . “ It was like   ‘ Oh my gosh  ’ ” said his father   Roger . “ It ’ s almost like he ’ s not even believing it .” Ever wonder what a McTwist is ? Here ’ s a helpful guide to some of the tricks and terms of snowboarding . ( Elyse Samuels / The Washington Post )  White  posed for pictures at the bottom of the track   stretching an American flag across  his  back .  He  walked past red - white - and - blue - clad supporters   imploring them to cheer with  his  arms . “ You ’ re an animal !” one shouted .  He  found  his  family and hugged  his  father . “ I just told  him  I loved  him   ” Roger said . “ He said   ‘ I love you   too .’ We can ’ t believe it .” There was a time when   for White   disbelief and victory had a polar relationship . He entered Sochi in 2014 as the favorite to defend his two gold medals   to continue his rise as both a halfpipe wizard and a marketable brand . He was the Flying Tomato   the carefree dude who flew the highest and spun the most . “ Sochi was so crushing because I physically had the tricks  ”  White  said . “ I emotionally wasn ’ t there .” Really   Sochi just revealed cracks .  White  had become a target for other snowboarders   maybe out of jealousy and maybe because  his  success had placed  him  on a plane above the entire sport . Some believed  he  specialized in contests and received too much acclaim for never making backcountry films . [  Shaun White  is bigger than snowboarding . That ’ s what made failure so hard .] “ He ’ s so much older now   ” Roger White  said . “  He  went through a really hard time for a while . There was a period when  he  was younger and at the top for so long . Things were pretty hard for  him  . It ’ s just been a roller coaster for a while .”  His  renaissance from earlier this calendar year may have been more remarkable than  his  rebound from disappointment in Sochi . While training in New Zealand in October   White split  his  face open attempting a double - flip 1440   a crash that required 62 stitches . The injury provided proper context for White ’ s consecutive 1440s in the final run . Halfpipe snowboarding is pushing against its limits   with pipes rising in height and tricks growing more risky . Earlier in the finals   Japan ’ s Yuto Totsuka had to be dragged off in a stretcher after landing on the lip   falling 22 feet and landing square on his back . White ’ s gold medal run in Torin   through the prism of today   looks like a halfhearted warmup . “ The moves are so dangerous now   it ’ s not like you can practice them like you used to  ” Thomas said . “ These moves are different . The consequences are so high . We just had to wait until it was game time .” And when the time came   White delivered . With the gold medal assured   all that remained was sorting out the place the run would take in the sport ’ s annals . “ I think   personally   it ’ s the best run in the history of the sport  ” Thomas said . “ It ’ s the coolest thing I ’ ve ever seen .” “ Gosh   man   I think that ’ s the best run that ’ s ever going to be done  ” said Swiss rider Patrick Burgener   who finished fifth . “ It ’ s going to be hard to do better .” There was not consensus . Hirano   the silver medalist   also threw consecutive 1440s . James   who won bronze   hinted cryptically about a glitch in White ’ s run . “ There were some details I was expressing to the judges before the last score  ” James said . “ But that is what it is . Shaun and Hirano both had amazing runs . It could have gone either way .”  White  took on all comers and beat them   raising the bar yet again in a sport he has owned for a dozen years .  White  revealed the seriousness of  his  intent Tuesday in the qualifying round   when  he  unleashed a 98 . 5 - point masterpiece in  his  final run   even though  his  first run had been plenty to push  him  into the field . Riders typically play it safe in such situations   saving their best tricks for the final   careful to only whet the appetite of the judges . Still    White  threw down the best run of the day . “ I ’ m here to put it down  ” White proclaimed . [ How to watch snowboarding at the 2018 Winter Olympics ] In the final   White stood atop the pipe for his first run immediately after watching James   the feisty Aussie who wears red mittens in the shape boxing gloves   put down the best run of the day to that point   a 92 . 00 . White responded with a monstrous 94 . 25   which he punctuated by ripping off his helmet and chucking it into the sky . “ He ’ s a psycho  ” said Ferguson   who took fourth . Hirano   who posted a 99 . 00 in competition earlier this year   took over the top spot with his second run   executing consecutive 1440s en route to a 95 . 25 . So   when White stood at the top of the pipe a second time   he was chasing . White responded with a furious beginning to his run   leading off with a 1440 and then landing another . But then   trying to land one of his trademark moves — the Tomahawk — White fell on his backside . His third run would be no victory lap . It would be only victory   genius in nature   the latest and maybe sweetest triumph of a career exploding into a second act .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shaun White ?

A court source said  Avery  failed to disclose that a law firm administering a family trust also regularly represents landlords in cases before the judge . Meanwhile   the jurist garnered a “ not approved ” rating by the city Bar Association — twice . Voters also refused to back her two bids to move up to civil court .

They  argue that  Garcia Zarate  found the handgun—a .40 caliber Sig Sauer—wrapped in a cloth under  his  seat on the pier and that the gun discharged as  he  was handling it.\nThe defense says the single shot ricocheted off the concrete ground about 12 to 15 feet away from  Zarate  and then traveled another 78 feet or more before striking Steinle in the back.

(CNN) This Tuesday  the GOP faces a defining moment. With Donald Trump in the White House and the possibility of  Roy Moore  in the Senate  the nation is watching closely to see whether the GOP is becoming the party of the GOB -- the good old boys.\nWhile some Senate elections are just about the politics of a state   Moore 's victory would leave a huge imprint on the way that voters perceive the Republican Party for years to come. It could easily affect the 2018 and 2020 elections.\nHe has no respect for the separation between church and state.  Moore  was removed as chief justice when  he  refused to dismantle the Ten Commandments monument  he  had installed in the Alabama Judicial Building. Like President Trump   he  was one of the birthers who falsely claimed that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States  and thus his presidency was illegitimate.\nIn 2006   Moore  responded to the election of Keith Ellison  the first Muslim-American elected to Congress  by stating that Ellison shouldn't be able to take his seat.\nDuring his campaign   Moore  has referred to Native Americans and Asian-Americans as \"reds and yellows.\" And when an African-American at a rally asked when America was \"great \"  Moore  responded : \"I think it was great at the time when families were united -- even though we had slavery -- they cared for one another. ... Our families were strong  our country had a direction.\"\n Moore  even said that 9/11 might have happened because Americans were not religious enough; God was unhappy that \"we legitimize sodomy\" and \"legitimize abortion.\"\nWith Trump as President and  Moore  as a senator  Democrats would have a strong case to make about the GOP jumping deep into the world of identity politics: defining itself through one caricature version of the identity of the white  male  non-college educated voter.\nIt will become harder for members of the GOP to argue that the party is best suited to lead a nation that has become more pluralistic  more diverse and culturally liberal than ever before. If the Republicans want any moral high ground on cultural questions  it will be much more difficult to claim it with  Moore  as one of the faces of the party.\nAnd it looks as though  Moore  is very much in the race despite everything that we have learned. Democratic competitor Doug Jones has only a slim lead over  Moore .\nWhy is it that  Moore  might pull this off? Why would the Republican Party be taking this kind of risk? It is easy to blame Jones for running a lackluster campaign  but  in fact  he has offered the kind of candidacy and campaign that political analysts have been calling for. He is a white male  a centrist concerned about a strong middle-class economy  a gun-toting Democrat  and at the same time someone with impeccable credentials on civil rights -- as a US attorney  he successfully prosecuted Ku Klux Klan members for a church bombing in 1963.\nJUST WATCHED How will Alabama vote in  Moore  vs. Jones race? Replay More Videos ... MUST WATCH How will Alabama vote in  Moore  vs. Jones race? 04:44\nThough many prominent Republicans have denounced  Moore 's candidacy -- Sen. Jeff Flake even sent a check to the Jones campaign -- key parts of the Republican Party have fallen behind him. This is essential to why victory is possible. Most importantly  President Trump has now endorsed  Moore  . \"Go get 'em  Roy!\" he reportedly said at the end of their phone conversation on Monday morning.\nTrump  who said he would not campaign for  Moore   held a rally in Florida -- less than 30 miles from the Alabama border -- on Friday. \"The future of the country cannot afford to lose a seat in the very  very close United States Senate \" Trump said during the rally. \"We need somebody in that Senate seat who will vote for our Make America Great Again agenda. So get out and vote for  Roy Moore .\"\nLast Monday  the Republican National Committee rejoined Moore's campaign to move  him  toward victory after cutting ties with  him  because of the sexual assault accusations. Stephen Bannon  the executive chairman of Breitbart News  who now must be considered a power broker in the party as a result of his work on Trump's campaign and in his administration  has aggressively campaigned for  Moore  as one of his \"anti-establishment\" candidates.\nThe fact is that large portions of the Republican leadership are now comfortable with someone like  Moore  standing within their tent. It is fallacious to paint  him  as an outsider  since this campaign proves that the Republican Party has changed and there is sufficient room for these kinds of extremist elements to be welcomed into its ranks.\nIt is not surprising that the  Moore  campaign continues to remind voters  in its advertisements  about  Moore 's strong opposition to abortion -- a key issue for conservatives. The appeal to voters is that all his \"peccadillos \" as they seem to dismiss them as being  are forgivable if they allow Republicans to retain the seat. As Ron Brownstein has perceptively argued  a  Moore  victory would come down to  his  retaining the support of white women who have no college education and who will hold their noses and vote for  Moore  despite  his  record with women.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Deval Patrick ? GOVERNOR TURNS UP THE HEAT ON BAKER\n Governor Deval Patrick Wednesday took some of his most pointed shots yet at Republican gubernatorial rival Charles D. Baker Jr.  accusing the former chief executive of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care of doing nothing to stop dramatic increases in health care costs that he said are crushing small businesses and families.\n \"Today's events represent a clear example of the choices Massachusetts voters have before them in this election \" said the appeal from Patrick's campaign manager  Sydney Asbury. \"Governor Patrick and Lieutenant Governor Murray care about working people and take on entrenched and powerful interests on their behalf  while other candidates are either beholden to those interests or too timid to do anything about the problems facing our Commonwealth.\"\n Patrick's aggressive tack seemed to mark a new  more heated phase of the campaign  on the same day a new poll showed Baker gaining ground on Patrick. Baker's campaign manager  Lenny Alcivar  said on Twitter that Patrick's comments were sad and that the governor had been \"reduced from testimony to meltdown  to empty campaign fund-raising ploy in minutes.\"\n \"The governor had 3? years to take action on health care costs  but he didn't \" Alcivar said. \"For 3? years  Deval Patrick had the existing authority to do something  anything to address this problem  and he wouldn't. Today  hours after waking up to polling results that show his reelection prospects dwindling by the minute  Governor Patrick was forced to testify on a proposal aimed more toward salvaging his political career than helping small businesses.\"\n Patrick's comments were notable  because he often passes up opportunities to directly engage his challengers  particularly when at the State House.\n But he seized the chance Wednesday  after speaking in support of a bill he filed that would allow state regulators to reject \"unreasonable or excessive\" cost increases from hospitals and other health care providers.\n \"While we've been dealing with this crisis  at least one of the candidates in this race has been in the middle of this industry and hasn't offered any solutions yet \" the governor said  taking aim at Baker.\n The Rasmussen Reports automated telephone survey of likely voters showed Patrick earning 35 percent of the vote  compared with 32 percent for Baker and 19 percent for state Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill  who is running as an independent. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4? percentage points. A Rasmussen survey in November showed Patrick at 33 percent  Baker at 28 percent  and Cahill at 25 percent.\n Political analysts said Patrick is trying to more actively define Baker in the minds of voters before Baker can introduce himself on his own terms.\n \"Given the Rasmussen poll today essentially showing a dead heat  it's clear that Governor Patrick really has to step up and go on offense more  not only touting what he's done  but go on offense against his real challenger in this race  and that's Charlie Baker \" said Mary Anne Marsh  a Democratic political strategist. \"It signals a stage in this race  and it shows you we'll see an even more aggressive Deval Patrick going into the spring and the summer.\"\n The Patrick campaign has been honing two main lines of attack against Baker as it looks toward the November election. One is to tie Baker to the exorbitant cost increases of the Big Dig  whose finances Baker helped oversee as the top budget aide to governors William F. Weld and Paul Cellucci in the 1990s.\n \"They talk about why it is they can't help but charge double-digit increases every year to small businesses and families \" Patrick said. \"Those small business and families don't have a voice at the table. They have my voice at that table.\"\n Baker's running mate  Senate minority leader Richard R. Tisei  Republican of Wakefield  joined Alcivar in dismissing Patrick's comments as a political ploy. \"The governor is really electioneering  instead of taking a more thoughtful approach \" he said.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Even with a deadly car bombing and other mayhem marring the day -- the deadline for the American troop pullback under a Jan. 1 agreement -- Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki seized on the occasion to position himself as a proud leader of a country independent at last  looking ahead to the next milestone of parliamentary elections in January.\n He made no mention of American troops in a nationally televised speech  even though nearly 130 000 remain in the country; most had already pulled back from Iraq's cities before Tuesday's deadline.\n In a national address  al-Maliki focused his praise on Iraqi troops and security forces for their role in fighting the insurgency. \"The national united government succeeded in putting down the sectarian war that was threatening the unity and the sovereignty of Iraq \" he said  as if the United States had played no role.\n President Barack Obama  who ran for office on a pledge to end the war  marked the occasion with minimal fanfare  declaring it \"an important milestone\" even as he warned of \"difficult days ahead.\"\n \"The Iraqi people are rightly treating this day as cause for celebration \" he said.\n The withdrawal did not command its own presidential appearance -- his brief remarks were delivered at a ceremony honoring entrepreneurs -- a marked contrast with his predecessor  who rarely missed an opportunity to celebrate milestones in Iraq.\n Military experts anticipate more violence in the days ahead. Maliki's effort to capitalize on Iraq's latent anti-Americanism and to extol the abilities of his troops is a risky strategy. If it turns out that Iraqi troops cannot control the violence  al-Maliki will be vulnerable to criticism from rivals -- both if he has to ask the Americans to return but also if he fails to enforce security without them.\n Some American commanders have said they were taken aback by al-Malikial-Maliki's insistence on taking credit for all the security successes in Iraq  but they also see the importance of having him and Iraqi troops appear strong  especially in the face of multiple insurgent factions intent on destabilizing the government.\n Gen. Raymond T. Odierno brushed aside the dismissive tone of Iraqi leaders' public remarks about the Americans  saying that al-Maliki had personally thanked him on Monday night and again on Tuesday for the sacrifices American troops have made.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Richard Hunter ? The Chinook helicopters lifted off  and  Richard Hunter’s  mind was at ease.  It  was Nov. 2  2016  and  he  was strapped into one of two mammoth CH-47’s flying over the city of Kunduz in northern Afghanistan on a moonless night. Loaded with 59 men in all — a company of Afghan commandos and a team of Green Berets backing them up – the big birds were headed to a village called Boz-e-Qandahari on Kunduz’s northern outskirts. He and the rest of the men had no idea that they were flying into a deathtrap — one that  thanks to incomplete intelligence  would claim the lives of two Green Berets  three Afghan commandos  and 32 civilians  including six women and 20 children. The civilians died as the American and Afghan raiders faced an unanticipated onslaught of Taliban fighters reminiscent of the Mogadishu slaughter memorialized in the movie Black Hawk Down. For their actions that day  three of the Green Berets would receive the nation’s third-highest award for valor  the Silver Star  one of them posthumously  and Hunter was honored Oct. 17 with the Air Force’s second-highest honor  the Air Force Cross  along with five men on the gunship above them who will receive Distinguished Flying Cross medals. The citations for those awards make no mention of the errors that forced the fighters to act so heroically or the civilian deaths that led a United Nations humanitarian organization to call for an international investigation. Such carnage is likely to happen again as the Trump administration adds as many as 3 000 troops to the US contingent in Afghanistan. The top US commander there  Gen. John Nicholson Jr.  promised recently that “a tidal wave of air power is on the horizon” against the Taliban.\nBut instead of the dry field they expected  the troops found themselves jumping into waist-high water; their landing zone had been flooded for rice season. The Chinooks settled into the muck. A few potshots rang out in the darkness from the closer village as the men jumped out  sporadic fire aimed at the helicopters in the rice field  and then the machines lifted off and flew away. High overhead and miles away  the gunship crew watched as the troops slogged through the mud. It would take an hour to traverse the flooded field  the first setback in a mission meant to last only a few hours. The crew  with the radio call sign \"Spooky 43\" aboard the AC-130  saw something else surprising as they watched the troops advance — the blurry forms of a few people still awake in the village  unusual for midnight. Air Force Maj. Aaron Hall  the fire control officer aboard the AC 130  recalled another unwelcome sight. “I see a couple dudes on this rooftop-type area  and what appeared to be some guns up against the wall.” Any hope of surprise was gone. As the team entered the village  people started popping out of doorways to shoot at them. So did the pair on the rooftop. The troops took cover  and  Hunter  radioed the airplane overhead. “The conversation is pretty simple ” said  Hunter . “We’re being shot at. Just make it … stop.” Two AH-64 Apache helicopters that were accompanying the mission  equipped with laser-guided Hellfire missiles  rockets  and a machine gun loaded with 1 200 rounds of high-explosive ammunition  quickly killed the shooters. But with that  “the jig was up and we needed to get moving ”  Hunter  remembered. As the team went about its mission   Hunter  imagined a map extending hundreds of yards around  him  and miles above  marking  his  friends  allies  aircraft  and the people trying to kill  him . A combat controller plays a kind of three-dimensional chess in  his  head while everyone else around  him  is fighting  stacking up the aircraft in flight like an airport control tower operator to call in airstrikes in the middle of a firefight. “Not everyone is cut out for this ” said Col. Michael Martin  who commands the US Air Force’s 24th Special Operations Wing  which trains and deploys the combat controllers on special operations missions. “I tell them you do not want to be the weakest link. You do not want to be the guy who holds up the team.” Special operations teams “can’t stay in any one place for too long. That makes us vulnerable ” said Seidl. The Americans moved quietly  equipment strapped to their sides to reduce noise  the Afghans less so. They picked their way through a maze of streets lined with mud brick walls that surrounded enclosed courtyards. It was quiet and dark. There were no streetlights. Mutaqi’s compounds were at the end of a long north-to-south-running alley  lined by 10-foot-high courtyard walls. The Afghan commandos were in front (“It’s their country ” Seidl said) at the south end  with team leader Byers  Hunter  and Seidl initially about midway up the alley. A rearguard flanked the alley’s north entrance. Reconnaissance flights had shown the entrance to the compound as wide open  but that turned out to be the case only during the day. When the raiders arrived  they found the entry blocked by a 20-foot-tall steel gate. During the day  its opened doors had been tight against the wall and hidden by trees; at night  it was a formidable obstacle.\nHigh above  the aircraft crew could see two individuals on the other side  perhaps armed (night sensors can make out shapes  but they are not precise enough to tell an AK-47 from  say  a club). “They looked like they were up to no good ” said Hall  who watched them running back and forth behind the gate  and called down to the team. “That was the conversation we were in the process of having when all hell broke loose ” said  Hunter . “A dude comes running out  pauses for a second  his arm comes down and then he goes like this ” Hall said  miming a lob  “throwing a grenade  but there was just zero time — it was so fast.” The blast wounded two Green Berets  Sgt. 1st Class Ryan Gloyer  an intelligence specialist  and Sgt. 1st Class Sean Morrison  the medic  as well as many of the Afghan commandos bunched in front of the gate.  Hunter   30 feet away  felt the grenade’s heat. “A particular four-letter word came to my mind ” he said. Everyone ran to the wounded and grabbed them  trying to bring them back and give them some cover. Then they started firing back at the people who were suddenly shooting at them from all over. “We were expecting a pretty normal capture-kill mission. And we walked into a hornet’s nest ” said  Hunter .\nHigh overhead in the AC-130 gunship  Hall watched the alleyway light up. “We knew it was bad ” he said. “What we weren’t clear on  at first  was how bad it was. Were all those guys killed with that grenade?” As soon as they heard  Hunter ’s voice giving them permission  the AC-130 started to fire its 40mm cannon at the south side of the gate. They used the smaller cannon because  Hunter  and the wounded were then only about 60 feet up the alley. This was blisteringly close. On typical missions  the team engaged targets that were hundreds or thousands of yards from friendly forces. Meanwhile  people were firing from second-story windows from most compounds along the alley  said Hall. “Those guys probably had eyes on them the whole time  and were just waiting for them get down into that death funnel.” “I would describe [the incoming fire] as coming from everywhere — in front of us  behind us  from above us. I would even try to tell you it was coming from below us ”  Hunter  said. Within the first minute  the team sustained 16 casualties and started dragging the wounded back toward the center of the alley. As they retreated   Hunter  called for a curtain of airstrikes along the alleyway  with fire coming from both the airplane and the attack helicopters. Since the shooting was coming from inside houses  the AC-130 fired high-explosive rounds from its howitzer with the fuses delayed to go off inside those structures  so they would kill the person shooting at the team. One of the first targets on the walk back was one of the reputed Taliban compounds at the end of the alley  southeast of the one with the steel gate. Rifle shots were coming from a second-story window there. After a few airstrikes  the compound suddenly erupted with a tremendous secondary explosion  lighting up the sky and filling the air with dust  smoke  and debris. From the air  Hall saw “a massive fire” that briefly illuminated the entire village. The airstrike had hit a munitions dump. Then at the north end of the alley  the rearguard began taking fire. A team assistant leader was shot five times. Another Green Beret grabbed the wounded man by the chest plate of his body armor and dragged him from the mouth of the alley while shooting back at the attackers and applying tourniquets to both of the wounded man’s legs. Now the team was retreating from both ends of the alley to its center. The fire from the gunship grew so intense that its biggest gun  the 105mm howitzer  overheated  and the crew had to load it manually. Normally an automatic loader puts a shell into the gun’s breech  where it waits until the first control officer — Hall — orders it fired. But letting the shell sit in an overheated barrel would cause it to detonate inside the plane  killing everyone aboard. Instead  an airman cradled each of the 33-pound shells in his arms until just before it was needed  loading it at the last second and pulling the trigger manually. It’s a procedure the aircrew practices  but hopes never to resort to. And it was about to get worse for the retreating team on the ground. The Spooky 43 crew could see the entire village  drawn by the noise  converging on the alley  like an anthill stirred up by a child’s stick. Forms carrying rifles could be seen running along lines of trees toward the scene to bottle up the mission. “They just kept coming  kept coming ” Hall said. No one had suspected the village sheltered that many Taliban fighters  another intelligence failure. Fearing being trapped at both ends of the alley  Byers decided to break out to the side. He kicked a door in one compound’s 10-foot wall and reached to push it open  when someone on the other side opened up with an automatic weapon through the door right into him. As he fell  both Seidl and  Hunter  emptied their weapons at the door at whoever had fired  and pulled the wounded Byers from the doorway. Now Seidl was in charge. With roughly a third of the mission team wounded and no hope of escape down the alley  he ordered his team into a compound on the other side of the alley. This one had a wall only 5 feet tall  a disadvantage that meant people could shoot down into the yard more easily. But it also meant the team could see over the wall to observe that it was clear. At this point  they were boxed in. Seidl was now in charge of a medical evacuation as well as a firefight. “We can’t do our jobs standing in the alley getting shot ” Seidl would say later of this moment. “Dick [Sgt.  Hunter ] can’t think. I can’t think in that situation. We needed to take cover.” With few men unwounded  the job of clearing the compound fell to Seidl and another Green Beret  followed by  Hunter . “It’s not ideal to have your command elements clearing a compound  but we had a lot of casualties and we needed to get everyone in there ” said Seidl.\nOn the radio  one of the Apache helicopters told  Hunter  they had “Winchestered ” meaning they had run out of ammunition  and were returning to base to pick up more in the middle of the firefight. That doesn’t happen very often and certainly wasn’t the plan. The Americans and Afghans hustled into the compound  cleared out a small house  and set up a perimeter around the yard. Instead of the few hours planned  a long night was ahead. Gunfire and grenades were coming from every direction  and Taliban members were headed their way from all over the village. “There is a point over our training for where we all deal with what's called the apocalypse scenario ” where there are no good options and a team is down in numbers and surrounded  said  Hunter . “This is what I would call an apocalypse.” No sooner had  Hunter  sat down in the refuge compound with  his  back to a wall when  he  heard voices coming from the alley they had just left  yelling through the din of gunfire for help. They were American voices. The Afghan commandos watching over the wounded Green Berets had fled into the refuge compound’s courtyard with everyone else  leaving the assistant team leader who was shot five times still out in the alley along with another wounded American  the medic. “I didn’t even think ”  Hunter  said  putting  his  arms out like wings to re-create the moment. “So I just grab the two nearest bodies to me  which happen to be two US Special Forces members  and tell them  'Hey  come with me ’ and ran out of the alleyway and [said] ‘Let's get our brothers.'” The alley was filled with smoke and reverberating with bullets ricocheting all around them. “It’s loud. It's pretty much the scariest thing imaginable ” said  Hunter . The darkness was almost complete  with visibility only 5 feet as they ran down the alley  looking for the wounded. The men moved as fast as they could. The fire was so intense that the rounds were skipping off the ground  off their feet  hitting around the walls next to them. “It was a miracle that nobody else was hurt.\" They found the wounded men in the darkness  and set off hauling them back to the sanctuary compound. All the while   Hunter  directed airstrikes with a radio in one hand while dragging a man 30 yards up the alley to the secure compound with his other one. Inside the compound  the Green Berets stationed unwounded Afghan commandos around the perimeter of the courtyard. Despite medical attention  Gloyer  the Green Beret hurt worst in the initial grenade attack  died as the Taliban closed in on the compound. “He was the one I could always count on ” said Seidl  the team sergeant. High above  the AC-130’s gun crew was hard at it  cradling shells and working the cannons on an airplane twisting to aim at targets. The plane’s 40mm cannon malfunctioned five times during the fight. “We’re trying to help target these positions where people are just raining fire down on these guys ” Hall said. During the siege   Hunter  and Seidl kept 20 feet apart by unspoken agreement. To lose both of them from a single grenade or gunfire burst in the middle of the fight would have been disastrous for the mission. Instead  they communicated by radio across the short distance  with Seidl signing off on airstrike requests by radio. They did this for the next hour and 47 minutes. In that time  the mission set a record for \"danger-close\" airstrikes  technically ones in which there is at least a 1 in 1 000 chance of hitting their own troops. But in reality the odds were much higher fighting in an alleyway.  Hunter  called in 31 that night  19 of them from the gunship. Each missile or shell aboard the Apaches and AC-130 has its own danger-close range. The gunship’s 105mm howitzer high-explosive rounds have a danger-close range of several hundred yards  for example. The smallest rockets on the Apaches have a danger-close range of about 200 yards.  Hunter ’s closest strike from one of those rockets was called in for 9 feet away from  him  — aimed at attackers just on the other side of the compound wall. “That’s not the preferred method for dealing with gunfights ”  Hunter  said. “This was very in your face.” The Spooky 43 crew fired so many high-explosive howitzer shells that night that it ran out  leaving only airburst shells in its armory. But rifle fire and hand grenades were coming from right across the alley  the compound that Byers had initially sought to take refuge in. “Fighters were flowing in from that position. We had to keep targeting it ” Hall said. Stopping that fire meant shooting an airburst shell. The 33-pound  unguided projectile — intended to explode far above masses of enemy infantry — would have to be blasted from a moving aircraft to reach a house in an alleyway more than 2 miles away  the shot buffeted by winds the whole way. Lying flat on his stomach   Hunter  called in the airstrike after Seidl gave  his  approval.\nThe aircrew fired the shell and waited a long seven seconds for it to travel from the AC-130 to the compound across the alley. “I’m not sure anybody breathed ” said Hall  who had made the wind adjustments for the shot. When it arrived  the explosion was tremendous. “Very violent. Very loud. Very bright ”  Hunter  said. “It tasted like if white had a taste  that was it.” The airburst flung him into the air  and on his way down  the shock wave lifted the ground below to meet him  punching along the length of his body. The blow clicked the talk button on his chest radio handset  delivering the roar back to the aircrew. “It overpowered all the other noises going on at the time ” said Hall. There were about 10 seconds of silence. “Was that you?” asked  Hunter  of the gunship. “Yeah.” “How close was that?” “Around 15 meters.” “Okay. Nice shot.”  Hunter  requested that they keep the next one at least 75 meters away. (“I was pretty stupid after that  for about 30 seconds ”  Hunter  said. “I was ready to puke  that kind of stuff. It was not cool. But also  neat.”) After that  nothing came from the compound across the alley for a long while.\nRelying on airstrikes to protect a hunkered-down special operations team is not a new thing  said Col. Martin  the 24th Special Operations Wing commander. In the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu made famous by the movie Black Hawk Down  he noted  an Air Force combat controller  Jeff Bray  kept US Army Rangers and Delta Force soldiers from being overrun by calling in airstrikes all night long. Black Hawk Down also started with a mission to capture leaders of an insurgency  lieutenants of the Habr Gidr clan led by a warlord named Mohamed Farrah Aidid. The battle killed 19 Americans and more than 300 Somali militia and civilians  according to a UN estimate. Attacks on the leadership of insurgencies have been a staple of US military practice at least since 1901  when an insurrection in the Philippines ended with the capture of rebel leader Emilio Aguinaldo. In Afghanistan  the US has eliminated a series of Taliban leaders  most notably the head of the Afghan Taliban  Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour  killed with a drone strike in 2016. And of course there was the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011. ODA 0224’s mission  and past ones  followed in that tradition. With dawn only hours away  the trapped men needed to escape Boz-e-Qandahari  or lose the advantage of night vision. “Definitely it was a worst-case scenario  with almost a third of the force wounded ” Seidl said. They had to get out of the village. The AC-130 overhead was joined by another gunship for  Hunter  to manage  another rarity: Two gunships are also not regularly stacked together on these missions. After almost two hours  a relief force of 10 more Special Forces soldiers reached them from Kunduz. They decided to break out back along another alleyway and the main road out of town. “We had to carry all our dead and wounded ”  Hunter  said. “Everybody was carrying somebody.” Byers was carried on a stretcher.  Hunter  was reminded of his training  during which instructors had relentlessly made students lug heavy  unwieldy stones everywhere  as  he  called in airstrikes on the new shooters while firing back at them himself  all while sweating under  his  heavy armor and equipment. “You’ve got a dead guy on your back ”  Hunter  said. “It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.” It was a running gunfight  one that lasted another 40 minutes  with shooters steadily popping up to fire at them as they went. The Spooky 43 would “paint” the windows where the gunfire originated with its 40mm gun  and the Apaches would fire Hellfire missiles into them to kill the people inside. On the way out  a gunship also blew up a “technical” truck spotted in the village with some kind of weapons mount in it  another surprise that intelligence had missed beforehand.\nDawn broke. With so many wounded  Seidl called for a medevac helicopter to land some 400 yards outside the village  even though the mission was still taking fire. The soldiers loaded the most grievously wounded  including Byers and the assistant team leader  and it took off in a hurry. Shooting down a helicopter would have been a propaganda victory for the Taliban.  Hunter  waved off the second medevac helicopter because the fire was too intense. “We can’t lose a helicopter ”  Hunter  said. “That can’t happen.”\nWithout another helicopter to shoot at  the gunfire turned on the remaining members of the team. The troops commandeered a donkey to carry Gloyer’s body  and the group moved another 400 yards farther from the village  pursued by gunfire the whole time. In order to get away   Hunter  directed the aircraft and the helicopters to create a “corridor of fire” in the fields between them and their pursuers. The two big Chinooks settled inside this corridor  and everyone remaining climbed aboard. “They landed  mini-guns blazing  with tracers flying around everywhere. It was like a Vietnam movie ”  Hunter  said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” Still firing back  the remaining Green Berets  Afghan commandos  and the rescue team lifted off toward Kunduz as the sun rose. They learned after they landed at a base south of the city  about 10 minutes away  that Byers had died on the medevac flight back. (He was posthumously promoted to major and awarded a Silver Star by the Army.) “He was leading from the front — that was what you have to do ” Seidl said. “He was an excellent officer. He would have gone far in the Army.” After landing  the remaining members of the ODA team stood in a circle  taking in the events of the night. “The sun was up ”  Hunter  said. “Until you’re safe  you can’t think of all of that stuff. You can’t let it distract you.”\nThat morning  the civilian casualties began to arrive at Kunduz hospital  borne on carts and accompanied by protesters from the village. A reporter on the scene from the New York Times counted the bodies of 14 children  four women  two older men  and two men of fighting age. The bodies were later brought to the governor’s mansion in Kunduz by protesters. “A hole was made in the roof of the room where we were sleeping and fire came from above ” one villager told the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in its annual report on civilian casualties in Afghanistan. “When I got closer to [his daughter-in-law]  I saw that she was bleeding and then she passed away. Her 2-year-old daughter lost both her legs.” Initial statements varied on how many people were killed in the village  as well as how many Americans and Afghan commandos died. Some news reports put the village on the wrong side of Kunduz  with various sources spelling it Boz Village  Quandahari  Boz Kandahari  or Boz Qandahari. An Afghan Army source told reporters that no Americans were on the mission. A Taliban statement claimed to have killed 15 Americans. NATO’s Operation Resolute Support released a statement later in the day announcing that two service members were killed and two wounded. Byers and Gloyer were now among the 14 Americans killed in Afghanistan in 2016. The UN report later reported that 32 civilians were killed in the village that night  20 of them children and six women  and another 36 people injured. The majority of the civilian casualties came from the two compounds at the end of the alley where the munitions depot had exploded. The dead and wounded included 25 members of Mutaqi's family  among them 13 children under the age of 11. Another 15 of these civilian casualties came from the compound with the steel gate  and included four children under 8 years old. The damage assessment found nine damaged buildings  nine possibly damaged ones  and three craters in the village. Civilian deaths have been an Achilles' heel for US forces in the Afghanistan War  a Congressional Research Service report noted last year. The bombing of a wedding party in 2008 that killed 47 civilians  including the bride  and its denial by the US military  particularly soured relations with the then-president of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai. Karzai later demanded that the US “put an end to civilian casualties” after a second wedding party was bombed. “We cannot win the fight against terrorism with airstrikes ” he said. And the battle to retake Kunduz in 2015 is best remembered for an errant US airstrike on a Médecins Sans Frontières hospital that killed 42 civilians. Afghans don’t seem to blame the insurgents for civilian deaths they cause  according to a 2013 survey led by Yale’s Jason Lyall  at least among the majority Pashtuns who form the backbone of Taliban support. But they do blame NATO forces for theirs  which increases local support for the Taliban. While reparations to the families of civilian casualties decrease support for the Taliban  according to the survey  they don't increase it for the national government. At Boz-e-Qandahari  the Afghan government paid 100 000 Afghanis  about $1 450  to family members of those killed  and half that amount to those injured  according to the UN. The Taliban certainly understand what Lyall's team called its “home team discount.” The insurgents killed four civilians and injured another 131 in a suicide car bombing in the nearby city of Mazar-e-Sharif eight nights after the raid on the village. A statement from the insurgents called the “martyr attack” retaliation for the airstrikes  and the death of Mutaqi  the Taliban leader in the village. The UN suggested the Taliban blast might amount to a war crime. Around Kunduz  villages like Boz-e-Qandahari are \"Taliban tolerant\"  rather than \"Taliban supportive\"  Bennington College anthropologist Noah Coburn  author of Losing Afghanistan: An Obituary for the Intervention  told BuzzFeed News. To have normal villagers flock to a firefight  rather than running away  would be really unusual  he said  raising the possibility that the Taliban there wanted the fight. “Most villagers are pretty disillusioned with both sides ” said Coburn  who spent five years in Afghanistan  part of it around Kunduz  interviewing locals. “Counterinsurgency really depends on good local intelligence  which is hard to get around Kunduz ” Coburn said. “It seems like we didn’t have it in this case.” In January  NATO released a statement finding that 33 civilians were killed in the fighting in Boz-e-Qandahari  different from the UN estimate. “The investigation concluded that U.S. air assets used the minimum amount of force required to neutralize the various threats from the civilian buildings and protect friendly forces ” the statement said. The battle likely killed 26 Taliban  including three leaders  and wounded another 26  as well. (BuzzFeed News has requested the investigation report but has not received it.) “This really is a classic case where the US troops probably did things that were heroic and difficult and put them in terrible danger ” said Coburn. “But it is hard to see how this puts things on a path to a political solution.” For both Seidl and  Hunter   that’s beside the point. They only recall fighting people trying to kill them from as close as 9 feet away. Without the airstrikes and the curtain of protection they provided  “I’d be dead ”  Hunter  said. “I’d be super dead.” ●", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

My abiding memory of the following week was a nightly stream of terrifying dreams . It was like I was dreaming in stereo   as my brain experienced the novelty of truly deep sleep for the first time in years . Within a week   once the night terrors and the cold sweats had stopped   my short - term memory started to improve . I was more sociable in and outside of work . I left the job within a few months and started doing something I loved . Everything about my life improved . But giving up weed isn ’ t so easy for everyone   and for some   it ’ s fraught with acute problems — physical   mental   and emotional . \" Stopping my consumption of cannabis used to mean a lot of pain : vomiting   diarrhea   and not being able to sleep or eat  \" says  Alex Fraser   26  .  Alex  has Crohn ’ s disease   which was diagnosed when  he  was 19 .  He  just had an ileostomy   in which a diseased part of  his  bowel was removed . This has drastically improved  his  quality of life   but he ’ s still hugely reliant on cannabis to keep  him  up and running . \" Despite the surgery   I still have issues with eating   nausea   and sleep  \"  he  says . \" If I don ’ t have cannabis   I end up using meds like Zopiclone for sleep and Oxycodone for pain . But nothing particularly helps my nausea or appetite   except cannabis .\" WATCH : The Safest Possible Way to Use Weed Alex   who generally vapes but occasionally smokes and eats marijuana   also relies on it to keep his mental health in check . \" It ’ s extremely helpful with the mental health issues I ’ ve had since surgery . Anxiety attacks   self - esteem issues   and my energy levels are all improved or eliminated with cannabis  \" he explains . Jon Liebling is a Director of the United Patient ’ s Alliance   which is currently lobbying hard for the legalization of medical weed in the UK . Liebling has a long history of profound mental health issues and has recently been diagnosed with complex PTSD . \" I ' ve been managing my anxiety   depression   and suicidal thoughts most of my life   but have kept myself relatively happy with the use of cannabis  \" says Liebling . \" About two years ago   I had a number of traumatic events take place in a rather short period of time . I realized I needed a bit more help   so I asked my doctor to refer me to a therapist . When I informed him I used cannabis   he refused to refer me unless I stopped using . He prescribed me Prozac and Diazepam . I ’ ve always had suicidal thoughts   but what ’ s kept me alive is my dissatisfaction with them . Prozac made my thoughts happier   but also   made me happier with those suicidal tendencies . So I acted on them for the first time in 20 years .\" Liebling went back to his doctor and found that a locum was working that day . She immediately removed him from his Prozac prescription and referred him to talking therapy . She also told him to return to managing his condition with cannabis   and he ’ s thankfully still here to tell the tale . Unfortunately   beyond anecdotal evidence   it ’ s quite hard to back up Alex and Liebling ’ s comments with science because currently   there just isn ’ t much out there . Plus   their personal health conditions — despite being undoubtedly severe — are not indicative of the population as a whole . A 2010 paper called \" Assessment and management of cannabis use disorders in primary care \" suggests that to differentiate between a psychiatric disorder and chronic cannabis intoxication   a patient should cease cannabis use for two to four weeks . In a small 20 - person impatient study of withdrawal   it found that \" mean baseline depression symptom scores reduced to normal levels after four weeks of abstinence .\" One of the study ’ s creators was Professor Adam Winstock   founder of the Global Drug Survey — a study of how the world consumes drugs — and a consultant psychiatrist and addiction medicine specialist . Between these two roles   he ’  s  analyzed the drug - taking habits of approximately 500   000 people   and 300   000 cannabis users .  He  ’ s extremely well - placed to advise on dealing with the more established effects of cannabis withdrawal . For most people   as it was with me during my promotion back in the mid - 2000s   that means : a ) insomnia and vivid dreams ; and b ) nicotine withdrawal . A huge part of the first problem comes from an unlikely source . \" Lots of people who smoke lots of weed drink too much caffeine : Red Bull   tea   coffee   fizzy drinks . This is often to offset the sedating effects of weed . If you keep drinking 15 cups of tea when you ’ ve given up weed   this is going to worsen your insomnia   which will make you agitated  \" says Winstock . If you ’ ve grown up smoking joints with tobacco in them   there ’ s a good chance you will also experience cravings from the nicotine withdrawal . For those looking to give up weed   Winstockadvocates giving up cannabis and nicotine at the same time — but adds that   crucially   you should gradually reduce your tobacco intake in the run - up to quitting . This will have an unexpected second benefit in the fight against withdrawal sleeplessness . It breaks it down  \" he explains . \" So when you stop smoking tobacco   your caffeine levels go through the roof . You ' re left with this double whammy : of not only taking a stimulant drug [ caffeine ] that you likely drink too much of anyway   but you ' re taking a stimulant drug whose levels are going to go through the roof because tobacco is no longer breaking it down .\" Winstock also says that the intensity of your withdrawal will likely be affected by the type of weed you smoke . \" If you smoke a high THC cannabis   then I think the insomnia would be worse — your weird dreams would be worse   your craving would be worse   and your low mood would be worse .\" Withdrawal symptoms with weed peak around day two or three and are generally over after seven . Sleeplessness and vivid dreams may last for two weeks   but Winstock ’ s absolute gold standard advice for giving up weed is to \" get into good sleep hygiene .\" Admittedly easier said than done   but there are some common sense habits that will help . \" Exercise is probably the best thing you can do  \" he says . \" Obviously   you shouldn ' t over - exert yourself   but if you ’ re exhausted when you go to bed   you ’ re much more likely to sleep well . Turn off screens a couple of hours before bed   and avoid caffeine . And don ’ t give up and call your dealer if you don ' t sleep well ! It will get easier soon .\" Follow David Hillier on Twitter .

As he has been for most of the past year , Bernie Sanders is on the road . \nThat , in itself , says something about Sanders and the historical significance of his campaign . \nAnd although Sanders now seems unlikely to win the Democratic nomination for President , he has achieved much more than that . \nIt is obvious that Sanders has , in the process , put a scare into Hillary Clinton 's campaign . \nOf the twenty-five states that have held Democratic primaries and caucuses , Sanders has won nine and Clinton has won sixteen -LRB- plus American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands -RRB- . \nBut outside the South , where Clinton has won large majorities of black voters , many of Sanders 's losses have been narrow . \nGiven the way the primary calendar was structured , with many Southern states voting in February and March , Sanders 's route to victory was always going to be precarious . \nThe Sanders campaign achieved its initial goal , virtually tying Clinton in Iowa , trouncing her in New Hampshire , and losing by a whisker in Nevada . \nHad Sanders earned a few thousand more votes in Iowa and Nevada , he would have won all three contests . \nStill , Sanders carried Colorado , Minnesota , Oklahoma , and Vermont , and in Massachusetts he came within two percentage points of victory . \nHad Sanders followed up that shocking triumph by carrying Illinois , Missouri , and Ohio , this past Tuesday , his insurgent game plan would have been back on track . \nThat it did n't quite work out does n't detract from the impact Sanders has had . \nOn issues like inequality , trade , the environment , corporate offshoring , and bringing Wall Street miscreants to justice , the former Secretary of State has adopted Sanders 's language -- and , in some cases , his policies . \nClinton had undoubtedly always intended to run as a center-left progressive in 2016 , just as she did in 2008 , but Sanders has forced her onto ground she had n't originally intended to occupy . \nEven Republicans have been taking up some of Sanders 's themes . \nOf course , the regressive tax policies that Cruz , Trump , and Kasich are advocating would exacerbate inequality , rather than reduce it , but the fact that Republicans have felt obliged to address these issues at all surely owes something to Sanders and the populist wave that he represents . \nSanders 's other big theme is money in politics . \nBut nobody has made the argument as passionately or as powerfully as Sanders . \nSince Sanders uttered these words , last May , his message has n't changed . \nIn much the same way that Trump has labelled Sanders a Communist , the Republicans of Bryan 's day called him a fanatic who would wreck the American economy . \nIt 's too early to say what Sanders 's legacy will be , or whether some of the ideas that he is pushing -- such as breaking up the big banks , introducing a single-payer health-care system , and returning tax rates on the rich closer to the levels that F.D.R. introduced -- will eventually be adopted . \nBut it is also evident that , in the past ten months , Sanders has defied the pundits , alarmed the comfortable , and inspired the young .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bernie Sanders ?

The Philippine government has revoked the operating license of leading news website Rappler   officials said Monday in  a ruling denounced by President Rodrigo Duterte ' s critics as the latest blow to press freedom  . Rappler   set up in 2012   is among a clutch of Philippine news organizations that have sparred with  Duterte  over  their  critical coverage of  his  brutal drugs war . But the government rejected allegations that  the ruling  was an attack on press freedom   with Duterte ' s spokesman saying Rappler and Rappler Holdings Corp had violated a provision in the country ' s constitution restricting media ownership to Filipinos . At his state of the nation address to Congress last year Duterte vowed to expose Rappler ' s \" American ownership .\" \" The issue at hand is the compliance of 100 percent Filipino ownership and management of mass media . It is not about infringement on the freedom of the press  \" Duterte spokesman Harry Roque said in a statement Monday . \" No one is above the law . Rappler has to comply  \" Roque added . Rappler ' s acting managing editor Chay Hofilena told AFP the company would file a court appeal against the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) ruling   which is due to take effect in 15 days . \" This is pure and simple harassment   the seeming coup de grace to the relentless and malicious attacks against us since 2016  \" the website said in a statement . \" We will continue bringing you the news   holding the powerful to account for their actions and decisions   calling attention to government lapses that further disempower the disadvantaged  \" it said . The case concerns Rappler Holdings ' decision to issue Philippine depositary receipts for shares of Rappler Inc . that the government said were sold to foreign companies . \"( They are ) existing for no other purpose than to effect a deceptive scheme to circumvent the constitution  \" the SEC said in a January 11 ruling to revoke Rappler ' s certificates of incorporation that was posted on the commission ' s website Monday . The ruling followed setbacks suffered by other Philippine news organisations which have criticized Duterte ' s war on drugs that has killed nearly 4   000 suspects . In March last year  Duterte  described top newspaper Philippine Daily Inquirer and leading television broadcaster ABS - CBN as \" sons of whores \" and warned them of karmic repercussions over their criticism of his drug war . \" I ' m not threatening them but someday their karma will catch up with them  \"  Duterte  said . \" They ' re shameless   those sons of whore journalists  \" he added . Four months later the Inquirer announced its owners were in talks to sell the publication . A business tycoon who backed Duterte ' s 2016 election bid later disclosed he was planning to buy the Inquirer . Last year  Duterte  threatened to block ABS - CBN ' s application to renew its operating franchise   a permit that requires congressional approval . The mass media watchdog group National Union of Journalists of the Philippines denounced the Rappler ruling . \" It was but one of many threats  Duterte  has made against media critical of  him  and  his  governance   such as the Philippine Daily Inquirer and broadcast network ABS - CBN  \" the union said in a statement . \" We call on all Filipino journalists to unite and resist every and all attempts to silence us  \" the group added .

And why the special venom for Bernie Sanders ? \nAnd Bernie Sanders , the most popular politician in the United States according to polls , is strongly opposed to allowing such huge consolidations of corporate power . \nThe media watch group FAIR pointed out that the Times piece \"started with a false premise and patched together a dodgy piece of innuendo and guilt-by-association in order to place the blame for a shooting in Virginia on ` the most ardent supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders . \nA few days earlier , the newspaper had front-paged another \"news\" story hostile to grassroots political forces aligned with Bernie -- a de facto editorial masquerading as news coverage , headlined : \"Democrats in Split-Screen : The Base Wants It All . \nAnd , as in the case of the New York Times article that appeared hours after the GOP baseball tragedy , the Times has sometimes jumped at the chance to draw far-fetched parallels between Trump 's violence-tinged , pseudo-populist messaging from the right and Bernie 's humane , inclusive messaging from the left . \nWhen the momentum of the Bernie campaign gained powerful traction as a threat to the corporate order , big media efforts to trash him went over the top . \nAt a key political moment last year , as FAIR analyst Adam Johnson wrote , \"the Washington Post ran 16 negative stories on Bernie Sanders in 16 hours , between roughly 10:20 PM EST Sunday , March 6 , to 3:54 PM EST Monday , March 7 -- a window that includes the crucial Democratic debate in Flint , Michigan , and the next morning 's spin .\"", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bernie Sanders ? Bernie Sanders has spent decades attacking inequality . \nIf you attended a Bernie Sanders rally this summer , when his seemingly quixotic Presidential campaign began gathering force , you might have noticed a few surprising things about the crowd . \nYoung people who like Bernie Sanders like him because he sounds like an old record . \nIn Portland , Maine , on an evening in July , the line to see Sanders looped around the Cross Insurance Arena . \nSanders 's popularity had clearly been exceeding his own expectations . \nAt the Portland rally , I met a group of five friends who were drawn to Sanders because of his commitment to banish money from politics : he has sharply criticized the Supreme Court 's 2010 decision , in Citizens United , to permit unlimited campaign spending by corporations , and has lamented the outsize influence exerted by billionaires . \nSeveral of the friends praised Sanders 's pledge to raise the federal minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour . \nOne member of the group , Erin Kiley , a millennial who owns Portland Flea-for-All , a marketplace of vintage and artisanal goods , said that she developed \"a huge political crush on Bernie\" in 2010 , after Sanders delivered an eight-and-a-half-hour speech on the Senate floor to protest the extension of tax cuts instituted during the Presidency of George W. Bush . \nSanders 's gruffness , didacticism , and indifference to appearances -- both he and his wife , Jane , told me how much he loathes shopping -- are central to his appeal . \nAll the friends described Sanders as \"authentic ,\" a word that many people would be hesitant to apply to Hillary Clinton . \nKiley acknowledged that Sanders 's unvarnished qualities might turn off some voters , but noted that in the current election cycle \"the whole spectrum of candidates is less schmoozy , polished , and warm .\" \nSanders has been known as a democratic socialist for decades . \nThis did n't matter much to Kiley or York , or to most other Sanders supporters I met during the next few weeks ; mainly , they were impressed that he had n't shed the term . \nYork thought that , because of Sanders and his \"social-media-driven fans ,\" socialism was \"getting a bit of a P.R. makeover .\" \nPeter Dreier , a professor of politics at Occidental College , who has written about Sanders , says that younger voters \"may not be willing to entertain a whole new system , but they are open to a pretty profound critique of the current one . \nAt a recent San Francisco gathering for Sanders , I met Derek Zender , a twenty-three-year-old marketing student . \nHe told me that his parents , who live in Orange County , dismissed Sanders as \"a decrepit old socialist who means well but does n't understand how the world works .\" \nIn Portland , Sanders took the stage , a little hunched in a gray suit jacket . \nSanders signals his moral ferocity by choosing words like \"horrific\" and \"abysmal\" and sonically italicizing them , as in \"This grotesque level of income and wealth inequality is immoral .\" \nIn the speeches I heard , Sanders rarely discussed foreign policy , though he spoke with conviction about climate change and the need for the U.S. to set an example for Russia , India , and China by using fewer fossil fuels . \nHuck Gutman , one of Sanders 's close friends , is an English professor at the University of Vermont ; from 2008 to 2012 , he served as Sanders 's chief of staff in the Senate . \nDespite this abiding interest , Sanders does not seem to have immersed himself that deeply in the extensive literature on inequality . \nSanders was interested less in academic arguments , Gutman said , than in hard numbers that \"exemplify the disparities he sees and feels and hears about from people .\" -RRB- \nSanders dutifully mentioned that the economist Stephanie Kelton is an adviser to the Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee , of which he is the ranking member , but he was ardent in his admiration for Pope Francis , who has condemned the \"economy of exclusion .\" \nSanders called the Pope \"an extraordinary figure ,\" adding , \"My God , he came along right at the time we need him !\" \nAfter speeches , Sanders spars about issues with voters or reporters . \nGarrison Nelson , a political scientist at the University of Vermont , who has known him for decades , says that if Sanders is walking down the street in Burlington \"and somebody yells at him Bernie will talk to him -- ` What 's the matter ? \nSanders does not excel , however , at the middle ground of casual , friendly conversation . \nWhen talking to voters , Hillary Clinton has perfected the head-cocked semblance of keen interest ; it 's clear when Sanders becomes bored . \nPaula Routly , who is the publisher of Seven Days , a popular weekly in Burlington , told me a story that captured the counterintuitive Sanders charm . \nOne evening , Jerry , of Ben & Jerry 's , scooped ice cream ; on another , Senator Sanders stopped by a group dinner . \nThough Sanders is steadfastly earnest , the youthful enthusiasm for him often partakes of irony . \nWhimsical buttons feature the slogan \"Feel the Bern ,\" and Tumblr is full of memes that play up the contrast between Sanders 's age and his popularity with hipsters . \nSanders 's message is particularly potent for young people who are struggling financially . \nGarrison Nelson describes Sanders as being \"more from the nineteen-thirties left than the sixties one .\" \nIn June , when NPR 's David Greene pressed Sanders on whether he embraced the phrase \"Black Lives Matter ,\" the Senator got irritated . \nSanders does not argue that greater economic equality would end racism , but for most of his career he has subsumed discussions of race under class . \nOn July 18th in Phoenix , Sanders appeared at Netroots Nation , an annual conference of progressive activists . \nAfter taking the stage , Sanders told the moderator , \"Whoa , let me talk about what I want to talk about for a moment !\" \nA week later , in his Senate office , Sanders sounded chastened . \nThe video showing the arrest of Sandra Bland , the African-American woman who died in a Texas jail , had just been released , and Sanders seemed shaken . \nSanders , speaking more broadly about police violence directed at black people , said , \"I plead guilty -- I should have been more sensitive at the beginning of this campaign to talk about this issue .\" \nOn July 25th , Sanders addressed the annual convention of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference , in Baton Rouge . \nOne of the convention 's listed sponsors was Koch Industries , and it was the first time I saw Sanders give a speech in which he did not inveigh against the company 's billionaire owners , who lavishly support conservative causes . \nIn August , Sanders 's campaign issued a racial-justice platform that recommended police reform , federal funding for police body cameras , a ban on for-profit prisons , and the elimination of mandatory-minimum jail sentences . \n-LRB- Among other things , Sanders proposes making Election Day a federal holiday . -RRB- \nAt the same time , the platform reasserted Sanders 's core philosophy : \"We must simultaneously address the structural and institutional racism which exists in this country , while at the same time we vigorously attack the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality which is making the very rich much richer while everyone else -- especially those in our minority communities -- are becoming poorer .\" \nVan Jones said of Sanders , \"He 's shown tremendous character in his willingness to engage and grow and change .\" \nBut Vermont is ninety-five per cent white , and Sanders needed to establish stronger bonds with black voters . \nSanders was \"a reliable civil-rights vote , but not somebody who has been connected to these communities , to these kids and their neighborhoods . \nElizabeth Warren , the Massachusetts senator whose critiques of income inequality presaged Sanders 's Presidential campaign , often speaks of her parents ' economic hardship to help explain her values today . \nSanders 's campaign Web site lists his educational history , says that he is married to Jane Sanders and that they have four children and seven grandchildren , and mentions that he worked as \"a carpenter and a documentary filmmaker\" before entering politics . \nThere 's something admirable about Sanders 's reluctance to attribute his political beliefs to autobiography : he does n't want voters thinking that his commitment to redistributive economics stems from anything other than a deep-seated sense of fairness . \nWhen I asked Sanders a question about his early years , he sighed with the air of a man who knows he can no longer put off that visit to the periodontist . \nSanders did say that two aspects of his upbringing had exerted a lasting influence . \nSanders 's father was a Polish Jew who , at the age of seventeen , came to America shortly after his brother , and struggled through the Depression in Brooklyn . \nBy the time Sanders was born , in 1941 , his father was working as a paint salesman . \nSanders had an older brother , Larry , and their mother stayed home , like most of the women in their lower-middle-class corner of Flatbush . \n\"There was tension about money ,\" Sanders said of his family . \nI spoke with a few of Sanders 's contemporaries who had grown up in the same neighborhood , and their memories were rosier : they recalled kids playing stickball on safe , familiar streets until their parents called them home for dinner . \nBut Sanders rarely communicates in the key of nostalgia . \nSid Ganis , a Hollywood producer who grew up in the same building as Sanders , described their neighborhood as an enclave of \"ordinary secular Jews ,\" adding , \"Some of us went to Hebrew school , but mainly it was an identity in that it got us out of school on Jewish holidays .\" \nSanders told me that , in the aftermath of the Second World War , his family \"got a call in the middle of the night about some relative of my father 's , who was in a displaced-persons camp in Europe someplace .\" \nSanders learned that many of his father 's other relatives had perished . \nSanders 's parents had been fundamentally apolitical , but he took away a lesson : \"An election in 1932 ended up killing fifty million people around the world .\" \nSanders 's close friend Richard Sugarman , an Orthodox Jew who teaches religious studies at the University of Vermont , said , \"He 's not what you would call rule-observant .\" \nSugarman and Sanders were housemates for a while in the seventies , and Sugarman says that his friend would often greet him in the morning by saying , \"We 're not crazy , you know ,\" referring to the anger they felt about social injustices . \nSanders attended Brooklyn College for a year , then transferred to the University of Chicago , where he joined the Young People 's Socialist League and the Congress on Racial Equality . \nJim Rader , a friend who first met him in Chicago , recalls that Sanders was a \"leader of the civil-rights movement on campus .\" \nSanders , who received a political-science degree in 1964 , has said that he was a mediocre student because he found the classroom boring and irrelevant -- and that he learned \"infinitely more on the streets and in the community .\" \nBy the time Sanders graduated , both his parents had died , and his brother had moved to England . \nSanders got married for the first time , to a woman named Deborah Shiling , just after college , and they took a road trip from New York to Vermont , where Sanders had never been . \nSanders told me , convincingly , \"I was n't a hippie .\" \nSanders and Shiling soon divorced . \nIt came as a surprise to reporters who 'd covered Sanders for years in Vermont , but it was n't the sort of revelation likely to scandalize his supporters in 2015 . \nSanders wore his social conscience on his sleeve , but few people who knew him in the sixties and seventies would have predicted that he would become a leading candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination . \nIt 's safe to say that had Sanders stuck with that career he would not have given Ken Burns a run for his money . \nOne filmstrip , a portrait of Sanders 's hero , the socialist Eugene V. Debs , was rendered with static images that remained on the screen for a good long while . \nSanders himself voiced Debs , an Indiana native , making him sound like a guy from Flatbush . \n-LRB- Another cultural foray of Sanders 's that makes you glad he stuck with politics : a 1987 cassette tape in which he talk-sings folk songs , William Shatner style . \nPeople who knew Sanders when he was in his thirties tend to share stories about how broke and frugal he was . \nRader told me that when Sanders first bought land in Vermont , and was still living part time in New York , he sometimes camped out in the new property 's only shelter : a maple-sugar shack . \nIn 1971 , Rader invited Sanders to a meeting of Vermont 's left-wing Liberty Union Party , in Plainfield . \nSanders brought his son along , and there 's a photograph of them at the meeting : Sanders is skinny , serious , with a luxuriant head of curls , uninhibited sideburns , and Buddy Holly glasses ; his towheaded toddler sits in his lap . \nThe organizers asked if anyone would run for the Senate , and Sanders , one of the willing few , got the nod . \nIn 1980 , Sanders 's friend Richard Sugarman suggested that he try for mayor of Burlington . \nSanders ran as an Independent , and won by ten votes . \nEven in Vermont , it was unusual to elect a socialist in the time of Ronald Reagan ; Sanders was a thirty-nine-year-old man who did n't own a suit . \nYet Sanders turned out to be a popular and effective mayor , and more pragmatic than some might have predicted . \nSanders also resisted a developer 's plan to turn the derelict Lake Champlain waterfront into a cluster of high-rises , promising instead public access and open space . \nSanders met Jane O'Meara Driscoll , a community organizer nine years his junior and a divorced mother of three young children , when she invited him to a debate during his first mayoral campaign . \nThey were married in 1988 , and spent what even Sanders admits was \"a strange honeymoon ,\" in the Soviet Union , finalizing a sister-city relationship with the city of Yaroslavl . \nAll four children in the Sanders family are now grown . \n''' She mentioned a Quinnipiac University poll showing that , in a general-election contest against Donald Trump , Sanders would win by eight percentage points . \nWhen Sanders first ran for the House of Representatives , in 1988 , he lost to a Republican named Peter Smith , the scion of a banking family . \nIn 1990 , Sanders ran again , and the N.R.A. went after Smith , sending letters to its Vermont members describing Sanders as the lesser of two evils , since he was n't publicly supporting the ban . \nSanders won . \nThis is the origin of the critique that Sanders has weak gun-control credentials for a progressive . \nIn national office , Sanders has not been a vocal proponent of strict gun control . \nSanders tends to present guns as an urban problem that Vermonters can afford not to worry about , though mass shootings can happen anywhere and suicides by gun are as much a problem in Vermont as they are in other states . \nSanders 's congressional career did not get off to a promising start . \nSanders did n't help matters by giving more than one interview denouncing Congress . \nNelson told me that , when he ran into Sanders in Burlington , he warned him not to keep \"pissing in the soup ,\" adding , \"You 're our only representative !\" \nAccording to Nelson , Sanders said , \"Gary , you have no idea how totally corrupt it is .\" \nIn time , Sanders became slightly more discriminating in his criticism , and made some allies . \nIn national matters such as curbing the excesses of the Patriot Act , Sanders found that he could at least try to make incremental changes through the amendment process ; in 2005 , a Rolling Stone profile dubbed him \"the amendment king .\" \nAt home , Sanders became a symbol of Vermont 's cussed uniqueness , as affectionately regarded as a scoop of Chunky Monkey . \nBut when Sanders has run for the Vermont governorship he has n't done well . \nBut they do n't necessarily want Sanders running the state . \nSince joining the Senate , Sanders has received the most attention for his gestures of defiance -- such as his marathon oration against tax cuts for the wealthiest , which was published in book form as \"The Speech : A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed and the Decline of Our Middle Class .\" \nYet Sanders has proved himself capable of bipartisan dealmaking . \nSanders explained to reporters that it was far from the bill he would have devised on his own : \"It opens up a fear of privatization , which I strongly , strongly am opposed to .\" \nSanders is proud of a few other Senate deals . \nSanders helped lead the opposition , and the President recently stopped pushing for the proposal . \n\"It was a tough fight ,\" Sanders said . \nCould Bernie Sanders win the Democratic nomination , let alone the Presidency ? \nSanders , who refuses to take money from Super PACs , had raised forty-one million dollars , mostly in donations of less than two hundred dollars each . \nIt 's impressive , too , that in a recent YouGovCBS News poll Sanders is leading Clinton by twenty-two percentage points in New Hampshire and ten in Iowa . \nBut among black Democrats in South Carolina Clinton leads , at fifty-two per cent ; Sanders is at four per cent . \nAnd though Sanders quickly modified his platform to accommodate Black Lives Matter activists , he still has a long way to go to win over African-American voters . \nA Washington PostABC News poll released in September shows that , if Biden were in the race , he would attract more nonwhite voters than Sanders -LRB- though substantially fewer than Clinton -RRB- . \nNor is Sanders 's trajectory likely to mirror that of Obama in 2008 . \nSanders supporters like to point out that , in the summer of 2007 , Obama was polling behind Hillary Clinton among black Democrats . \nBut , as Michael Tesler , a political scientist at the University of California , Irvine , recently noted in the Washington Post , Obama enjoyed much higher favorability ratings among black Democrats than Sanders does now . \nSanders 's commitment to recapturing some of the white working-class males that the Democratic Party lost in the Reagan years wo n't necessarily help his candidacy ; indeed , it could hurt his quest to connect with minority voters . \nYet Sanders is doing well enough to concern the Clinton team , and that creates its own challenges . \nOn the trail , Clinton has avoided mention of him ; Sanders , for his part , emphasizes their policy differences . \nSanders appears to be sticking with that approach . \nCorrect the Record , a Super PAC backing Clinton , recently sent an e-mail to the Huffington Post suggesting that Sanders shared many views with the controversial new British Labour leader , Jeremy Corbyn , then noting that Corbyn had called the death of Osama bin Laden a tragedy . \nCorrect the Record has also sent trackers -- operatives who tape rival candidates , looking for gaffes -- to Sanders events . \nSanders has promised not to run for President as an Independent in the general election , saying that he does n't want to have any role in handing victory to a Republican . \nSanders often says that he is not that far outside the mainstream -- that a majority of Americans agree with him on many of his tenets . \nIn mid-September , Sanders spoke before the weekly convocation attended by the student body at Liberty University , the evangelical school in Lynchburg , Virginia , founded by the Reverend Jerry Falwell . \nUnlike many liberal élites , Sanders does not seem to prefer talking to people who share his views ; because he is not an especially convivial person , he does not require conviviality from others . \nSanders relishes the opportunity to enter enemy territory , where he believes that he can find secret allies . \nHe did not make knowing jokes about these differences : as usual , Sanders was dead serious . \nBut the occasion also played to the prophetic side of Sanders -- the register in which he can sound like an Old Testament preacher . \nUnlike his slicker rivals , Sanders is most at ease talking about the moral and ethical dimensions of politics .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bernie Sanders ?

REUTERS / Phil Noble / Illustration LONDON ( Reuters ) - Britain ’ s pound climbed almost a cent against a weakening dollar on Thursday after Britain ’ s Brexit secretary said “ considerable progress ” had been made in talks and the EU ’ s chief negotiator praised a “ new dynamic ” from the prime minister . Sterling had earlier been trading down on the day   dipping to as low as $ 1 . 3344 after Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said the bank could not by itself nullify the negative effects of Britain leaving the European Union on the economy . But it turned higher as the dollar weakened and after  Barnier  said the two sides in the Brexit negotiations - Britain and the European Union - had “ had a constructive week ”  though despite progress  they  were “ not there yet ”.  Barnier  said further work was needed in the coming weeks and months   but  he  praised a “ new dynamic ” created by concessions made last week by Prime Minister Theresa May in a speech in Florence   Italy . Sterling strengthened to as much as $ 1 . 3456 GBP = D3   up over half a percent on the day . “  He  ( Barnier ) is suggesting that they ’ re making more progress now and that there ’ s positive signs in the negotiations this week  ” said MUFG currency economist Lee Hardman . “ That backs up the view that if this continues   there ’ s potentially some scope for EU leaders to grant some concessions to the UK .” “ If they were to allow the UK to start talking about a transitional deal alongside the divorce talks   that to us is a potentially significant positive for the pound  ” he added . Barnier ’ s British counterpart   Brexit Secretary David Davis   said they had made “ considerable progress ” in four days of talks in Brussels and repeated his eagerness to move on to discuss what happens after Brexit in March 2019 . “ Sterling ( is rallying ) on the ‘ considerable progress ’ comments regarding Brexit talks  ” said Mizuho ’ s head of hedge fund FX sales Neil Jones . Having earlier dipped against the euro   sterling turned slightly higher on the day to 87 . 60 pence versus the single currency EURGBP = D3   close to a 10 - week high . Strong UK retail sales numbers on Wednesday bolstered expectations of a BoE rate hike in November - a view that lifted the pound above $ 1 . 3650 to its highest since the Brexit vote earlier this month . “ We stay of the view that the BoE is on track with tightening monetary policy as part of the November meeting  ” wrote Credit Agricole strategists in a note to clients . “ This in turn suggests that there is room of rising central bank rate expectations to the benefit of the pound .”", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Theresa May ? \"I believe that we have now made the breakthrough that we needed \" EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told reporters during a news conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May.\nBritish Prime Minister Theresa May and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker address a media conference at EU headquarters in Brussels on Friday  Dec. 8  2017.

More than half the seats in Catalonia ' s 135 - seat parliament will be occupied by pro - independence parties .  Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy ' s own right - wing People ' s Party alone looks to lose 60 % of their seats  . But there ' s one person who most certainly won ' t be sitting in one of those seats   even though — thanks to a YouTube video that ’  s  been viewed almost a million times —  he  most likely did more than a little to help Thursday ' s overwhelming pro - independence win . “ The situation on Oct . 1 changed everything  ” Albano Dante Fachin told BuzzFeed News as  he  cleaned out  his  office inside Catalonia ’ s parliament building on Thursday night . Oct . 1 was the day Catalonia held a referendum on whether to separate from Spain   a move the Spanish government had tried desperately to prevent . Police and other armed forces were sent into the region to try to keep people from the polls   but Catalan leaders still declared a victory for the independence movement . After the vote   the Spanish senate triggered Article 155 of the country ’ s constitution   which stripped the region of its autonomy . Thursday night ’ s snap election was called by Rajoy after he used his new authority to dissolve the Catalan parliament and imprison eight politicians . Catalan President Carles Puigdemont fled to Brussels   where he has been campaigning via livestream and social media . It ’ s been a hectic election full of vicious identity politics   disorienting misinformation   and increasing paranoia among Catalans about Spanish governmental overreach . Seven major parties were vying for seats on Thursday . But for most voters   instead of thinking of things in terms of right and left   it was a decision between a pro - Catalan independence voting bloc and a rival bloc of parties that have campaigned on Catalonia remaining a part of Spain . For Catalans   it came down to a race between the left - wing progressive party Esquerra Republicana on the “ independentista ” side and economic liberal party Ciudadanos on the unionist   a victory for either deciding the region ’ s future relationship with Madrid . There was one party   though   that tried to stay out of the independence debate . Podemos   a left - wing anti - corruption party that was founded in 2014 out of Spain ’ s Occupy Wall Street equivalent   resisted choosing a side . But thanks to Fachin   its now - former general secretary   it ended up having one of the biggest impacts on this week ’ s vote . Fachin shocked Catalans last week after he announced via YouTube video that he was resigning from Podemos and voting for a pro - independence party . The video has currently been watched over 800   000 times and   according to Spanish media   it ’ s the most watched video of the election . His decision to vote for an independence party to protest Spain ’ s crackdown on the region   and not because he agreed with the results of the Catalan referendum   became a lightning rod on social media .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mariano Rajoy ? MADRID/BARCELONA (Reuters) -  Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy  said on Saturday  he  would not rule out using the constitutional powers to remove Catalonia’s autonomous status if it claimed independence as tens of thousands took to the streets to call for talks.\nUntil now   Rajoy  has remained vague on whether  he  would use article 155  the so-called nuclear option  of the constitution which enables  him  to sack the regional government and call a fresh local election.\nIn an interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais on Saturday  Rajoy  was asked if  he  was ready to trigger the article 155 of the constitution  and said: “I don’t rule out absolutely anything that is within the law ... Ideally  it shouldn’t be necessary to implement extreme solutions but for that not to happen things would have to be changed.”\nWhile Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont has said he is open to mediation   Rajoy  has demanded  he  give up the independence campaign before discussions can be held.\n Rajoy ’s government mobilized thousands of national police to stop Sunday’s vote  leading to clashes with would-be voters as they tried to close polling stations in schools and remove ballot boxes.\nIn the El Pais interview   Rajoy  said the around 4 000 extra police shipped in to the region would stay until the conflict had been resolved.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mariano Rajoy ? But Madrid had little interest in any exercise of Catalan self-determination. In a speech Sunday evening   Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy  pinned the blame for what happened on Catalan secessionists  who engineered the confrontation by staging what Madrid deems an illegal vote. “Today there has not been a self-determination referendum in Catalonia ”  Rajoy  declared. “The rule of law remains in force with all its strength.”\nBut although  Rajoy  thwarted the immediate prospect of independence   he  — not  his  Catalan opponents — looks like the day's big loser.  His  government took a heavy-handed line with Catalonia's secessionists in the buildup to the vote  and  Rajoy  is being slammed by opponents both inside Catalonia and elsewhere for making a mess of the proceedings.\n “Rajoy  faces an extraordinarily difficult task.  He  is adamant that it is  his  government’s fundamental duty to uphold the law and preserve the integrity of the Spanish state ” wrote Tony Barber of the Financial Times. “Yet the police’s use on Sunday of batons and rubber bullets to disrupt the referendum risks deepening the confrontation and putting off the moment when Madrid and the Catalonian authorities sit down to find a way out of the impasse.”\nCritics say  Rajoy 's own right-wing nationalist politics made it impossible to deal with Catalan secessionists  a coalition of pro-independence factions who came to power in 2015 regional elections and swiftly signaled their intent to stage the referendum. From the outset   Rajoy  treated their aspirations as both illegal and intolerable.\n Rajoy  probably has little time for Puigdemont's proclamation.  The prime minister  built  his  political reputation in the mid-2000s by fiercely opposing a Catalan charter for greater autonomy  which a Socialist government in Madrid at the time had agreed to and was later ratified by a referendum in Catalonia. In 2010  a Spanish constitutional court struck down a series of key provisions in that charter  based on an appeal filed by  Rajoy 's center-right People's Party. That  in turn  kicked off Catalan rumblings toward independence.\nBut  Rajoy  is also on rocky ground in Madrid  where  he  presides over a fragile  minority government in parliament.\nPablo Iglesias  leader of the left-wing Podemos party  tweeted against the “repressive strategy” of  Rajoy  and his allies  warning that it has “deteriorated democracy and coexistence [in Spain] to unprecedented limits.” Pedro Sánchez of the center-left Socialists called for political negotiations and seemed to blame  Rajoy  for not seeking talks earlier  saying that “doing nothing is the worst way of solving any problem.”\nNow  though  the political conversation is far more polarized. A tense standoff is in the cards in the coming weeks  with the possibility of further protests and mass strikes rocking Catalonia.  Rajoy  will have to own the crisis  and  his  opponents already have one idea of how  he  should do so.\n“ He  is a coward who does not live up to  his  state responsibilities ” said Ada Colau  Barcelona's mayor. “As a result   he  must resign.”", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

( CNN )  Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad  has been named the prime ministerial candidate for the country ' s opposition in the next elections   completing a stunning return to politics at the age of 92 . The doctor   who served 22 years as the country ' s leader before retiring in 2003   is determined to topple the party he once led -- and in his quest to do so   has joined forces with his arch nemesis   former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim   whom he once jailed for corruption and sodomy . The former leader told CNN in an exclusive interview that his return to the political spotlight is down to his determination to oust the current prime minister   Najib Razak . \" I think it ' s a job I have to do . I cannot accept this country being destroyed by selfish people who only think about themselves ... who steal money  \"  Mahathir  told CNN last week . Malaysia ' s next elections will be held before August 2018   with many people widely expecting it to occur sometime in March . \" They [ the political opposition parties ] have not been able to get rural Malay votes  \"  Mahathir  said   explaining the rationale behind the opposition ' s decision to welcome  him  into their pact . \" They had a majority of popular votes in 2013   but they were not able to get [ the ] constituencies with Malay voters .  Mahathir  has made a bad habit of sniping at those who stepped into  his  shoes as prime minister . Post - retirement   Mahathir criticized  his  anointed successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi incessantly from the sidelines . But that is nothing compared to the energy and viciousness with which  he  has torn into Najib . Mahathir   who said he attacked his successors because ' they were doing wrong things  ' told CNN he doesn ' t mind \" being used by the opposition \" to oust Najib   who for years has been embroiled in accusations that hundreds of millions of dollars were stolen from state investments . The US Justice Department filed lawsuits in 2016   amended earlier this year   to recover more than $ 1 . 7 billion that prosecutors said were laundered through a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund headed by Najib . JUST WATCHED Malaysian prime minister Replay More Videos ... MUST WATCH Malaysian prime minister 12 : 19 Besides the United States   several other countries are investigating state investment fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad ( 1MDB )  which Najib founded . US justice officials said that between 2009 and 2015   more than $ 3 . 5 billion from 1MDB was misappropriated by high - level officials of the board and associates . Najib has been accused of siphoning money from the investment fund after $ 681 million was transferred into his accounts . He has consistently denied any wrongdoing and said the money was donated by a member of the Saudi royal family . The 1MDB scandal   rising costs of living and a growing rift among the country ' s multiracial   multi - religious populace have been often blamed on Najib ' s party   and the question now is   can Mahathir   the former leader   help the opposition boot the ruling government from power ? Mahathir and Anwar : From friends to foes and now   friends again The opposition in Malaysia is weaker now compared with the last election in 2013   when the Barisan Nasional coalition led by Najib limped to the finish line   losing the popular vote and failing to snag a two - thirds majority in parliament . Embroiled in internal squabbles and sullied by scandals of their own   the opposition for the longest time could not even agree on who would lead the country should they win the elections . Cue the strange alliance between  Mahathir  and Anwar   who is back behind bars after being found guilty of sodomy a second time in 2015 . The opposition convention on Sunday declared that while  Mahathir  would be their candidate for prime minister at the next elections   Anwar would assume the position if they manage to upset Barisan Nasional at the polls and Anwar is able to obtain a royal pardon for his sodomy conviction   which disqualifies him from contesting the elections or holding office . Dr Mahathir was interviewed by CNN at his office in Putrajaya on Tuesday   Jan 2   2018 Anwar ' s wife   Wan Azizah Wan Ismail   is the candidate for the deputy prime minister role . In his interview with CNN   Mahathir praised Anwar   a man he ' d once mentored and then maligned   fired and incarcerated . Mahathir said they are putting aside a bitter rivalry to focus on defeating Najib and United Malays National Organisation ( UMNO )  the Najib - helmed party that forms the largest constituent in the Barisan Nasional coalition . \" It is to get rid of this government . He [ Anwar ] wants to get rid of Najib and I want to get rid of Najib  \"  Mahathir  told CNN . \" If you want to get rid of Najib we have to work together . We have to forget the past .\" \" I am 92 going on 93  \"  Mahathir  pointed out . \" I won ' t last long and I am prepared for that . But for as long as I can contribute   I will continue   and I will back Anwar if that is the wish of the party .\" Can  Mahathir  bring in the votes ? Analysts are split over whether  Mahathir  has the x - factor needed to oust Barisan Nasional   which has ruled uninterrupted since the country ' s independence in 1957 . Wan Saiful Wan Jan   chief executive of the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs in Kuala Lumpur   said  Mahathir  clearly has influence   judging by how quickly the opposition accepted  him  .  Mahathir  \" has the capabilities to bring in and influence people ... just like Anwar  \" Wan Saiful said . \" He is very attractive among the rural voters who feel Pakatan Harapan ( the opposition pact ) has not been defending the rights of the Malays  \" he said   referring to the country ' s majority race   which forms the bulk of the electorate . Wan Saiful added that support for the opposition is growing   especially in states where Barisan Nasional rules . \" Regardless what you think of the opposition   people want democracy to flourish . There are those who may disagree with  Mahathir  returning to active politics   but for the sake of democracy they feel UMNO must lose  \"  he  says . However   Jayum Jawan   a professor of government and politics from Universiti Putra Malaysia   feels differently and said  Mahathir  ' s shelf life as a politician has ended . \"  He  will have no impact on the election . The opposition has not been able to penetrate rural areas as the people there seem comfortable with what the government has done for them . Rural voters want stability  \"  he  says . '  He  has done a lot of damage ' While opposition leaders have welcomed Mahathir   some rank and file politicians remain skeptical . S . Manikumar   an opposition politician   said many party members are reluctant to back Mahathir openly because policies drafted during his reign favor the Malay majority at the expense of ethnic Chinese and Indian nationals . \" He has done a lot of damage in the past 30 years . He has no doubt developed the nation but many still view him as a racist  \" Manikumar said . \" The Indians   for one   were marginalized during his tenure as policies were not in their favor . As far as the lower and middle - class Indians are concerned   their votes may sway to Najib .\" JUST WATCHED Trump meets Malaysian PM under investigation Replay More Videos ... MUST WATCH Trump meets Malaysian PM under investigation 02 : 45 Other opposition politicians   such as Othman Karim   said while those in the party may have their differences with Mahathir   \" an enemy of an enemy is a friend .\" Yet others believe that  Mahathir  ' s alliance with the opposition and his willingness to admit to past mistakes means he will atone for previous political blunders . Charles Santiago   an opposition Member of Parliament   said the opposition needs a strong personality like Mahathir to lead its mission . \" Many say the country is headed in the wrong direction and we need someone strong from the Malay community to counter Najib  \" he said . \" Dr Mahathir is our top dog right now . Politics is a very strange thing . One minute you are enemies   the next minute you are friends .\"", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Maithripala Sirisena ?

Over a span of several months  71-year-old President Mamadou Tandja has imposed rule by decree  cracked down on opponents and the press  and dismantled parliament and the constitutional court  which oppose his plan and together represented the last real checks on his rule.\n On Tuesday  a controversial referendum could remove the last obstacle in Tandja's way -- the constitution -- replacing it with a new one that does away with term-limits and simultaneously gives him greatly boosted powers and an unprecedented three-year extension of his rule.\n \"He took the oath of office swearing on the Quran to protect our nation's democratic institutions \" opposition leader Mahamadou Issoufou said. \"But instead  he is destroying them.\"\n Opponents say Tandja is clinging to power so his family  clan and entourage can benefit from an influx of wealth from large-scale projects that are under way. Tandja denies it and says he is only obeying the will of his people  who he feels want him to finish projects to develop one of the poorest nations in the world.\n \"The people see the future and they are asking their president to continue to serve  so he completes this work \" Tandja told The Associated Press in an interview Friday at his residence  a complex of low-rise sand-brown buildings surrounded by palm trees. \"But the constitution does not permit me to stay ... that's why the people demand a new one. We need to find a way.\"\n \"It's an existential problem for many African heads of state \" said Mahamane Ousmane  who led parliament until Tandja dissolved it in May because lawmakers opposed the referendum. \"They can't imagine a normal life outside the palace. They say  'Will I be in exile? Will I be in prison? What will I do?'\"\n Ousmane defeated Tandja in a 1993 poll and served as president until he was toppled in a 1996 coup. Today he lives in a modest home on a dirt road in the sleepy capital.\n Tandja  however  told The AP he was \"afraid of nothing.\"\n Any influence foreign donors may have has been undermined by several huge new projects that have buoyed Tandja and are unlikely to grind to a halt. Among them: a US$5 billion (euro3.5 billion) deal with China to build an oil refinery and extract new crude from the desert  a US$1.7 billion (euro1.2 billion) accord with French nuclear giant Areva to build the world's second biggest uranium mine and a hydroelectric dam financed with US$50 million (euro35 million) from the Islamic Development Bank.\n Tandja claims his actions are legal  but opponents say he could only rule by decree if Niger was under threat and parliament was in place to safeguard against abuse. Tandja dissolved the constitutional court -- the only body that could judge such disputes -- after it ruled the referendum illegal. He then replaced it with another court whose members he appointed.\n The proposed new constitution would give him authority to name one third of a new 60-seat senate and the power to jail journalists who are deemed security threats without warning.\n A roadside florist  Hama Alhassane  hasn't seen the draft constitution and doesn't know how it differs from the current one. But \"whatever Tandja wants  I will do \" the 23-year-old said. \"Because he is the state and we must do what the state demands.\"\n State media only carry pro-referendum messages. A private TV station that broadcast a statement critical of Tandja was temporarily shut down.\n Tandja vowed to respect the outcome  telling The AP: \"If they say no  I will go.\"", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

The idea of improving relations between the two Koreas is one that is frequently spoken about but seldom achieved   and Kim ' s warmer words could also be seen as an attempt to drive a wedge between Seoul and Washington . While Kim ' s words were more combative towards the United States   he also refrained from a personal attack on President Donald Trump   after the two men engaged in several rounds of mutual name - calling in 2017   Delury noted . When asked about North Korea ' s nuclear claims on Sunday night   Trump said only   \" We ' ll see   we ' ll see .\" Daryl Kimball   executive director of the Arms Control Association   said Kim ' s claims about his country ' s nuclear capability underscored that there was no viable \" military solution \" to denuclearizing North Korea and that sanctions alone would not persuade Pyongyang to halt or reverse its nuclear buildup . \" To avoid a nuclear conflict and the full - scale deployment of an operational North Korean strategic deterrent force   U .

ARI SHAPIRO   HOST : In Lebanon   twin brothers welcomed the new year with a work of art nearly a mile long . Mohamed and  Omar Kabbani  are 34 - year - old graffiti artists . They painted the rooftops of more than 80 buildings lime green . Seen from above   the green roofs spell out salam   which means peace in Arabic . The brothers hope it will help change how people think of their home .  OMAR KABBANI  : Whenever they talk about the Middle East or Lebanon   all they think about is extremism and terrorism . By painting a big word   salam   we want to show people that we ' re creative and positive things coming out from the Middle East . I think we made our goal happen . SHAPIRO :  Omar Kabbani  joined us from Lebanon on Skype to explain how  he  and  his  brother Mohamed put this project together . KABBANI : We had this idea almost three years ago   and we wanted to paint a big word that can be seen from space . We chose the northern part of Lebanon   an area - a region called Tripoli . It ' s the second biggest city in Lebanon . There was   like   two fighting militias fighting a small civil war between two areas   and we decided to go up and paint the word salam above this area in particular . We recruited 62 ex - militiamen or ex - fighters . KABBANI : So basically they dropped their guns and they started helping us with painting their own rooftops . SHAPIRO : And I understand some of these buildings had bullet holes . Some of them were uninhabitable . You could really see the signs of the violence in this neighborhood . It was a battle zone . There ' s plenty of bullets . The buildings were on fire . So it was funny but sad at the same moment . Like   when we used to go up to scout   they used to tell us   yeah   I used to sit here and point my sniper rifle . So ... SHAPIRO : Wow . KABBANI : It was like a really true story . Like   people who lived violence and lived   like   war started going up to their rooftop without the fear of being shot . SHAPIRO : I imagine that for some of these fighters who had sat on these rooftops with guns   to come back to those rooftops and paint them bright green to spell out the word peace must have been a very emotional experience . KABBANI : It was very challenging for us . And it was challenging for them . We stayed there for three weeks . Every day   we go up . And you can hear their stories . And you know   like   they are in rock bottom   complete poverty . So whenever someone gives them   like - I don ' t know - a small amount of money   they would go and hold the gun and start shooting . But if the people give them an opportunity to work   they will work . There are   like   really good - hearted people . They want to do something positive . And we used not just bright green paint - regular paint . We used   like - it ' s anti - leakage   and it prevents from - anti - UV also .  SHAPIRO  : Oh   like waterproof and reflecting the sun   so it cools the houses and keeps them dry . So it has - so people were really happy that we ' re in a way fixing the rooftops   you know ?  SHAPIRO  : Has the crew actually seen the finished work of art - because you can really only see it from a drone . There are photographs   but you could be standing on one of these rooftops and not know that it ' s spelling out the word salam . KABBANI : Yeah   of course . When we first briefed them about the project   we showed them what we were painting . And   like   every two days   we flew a drone to show them and for us to see the progress of the work . And of course   we showed them the end results . SHAPIRO : Omar Kabbani   thanks a lot . KABBANI : You ' re welcome . SHAPIRO :  Omar Kabbani     his  brother Mohamed and their crew painted more than 80 rooftops in the Lebanese city of Tripoli to say salam - peace in Arabic .

The tickets ’ face price was about $ 350   but their resale value   according to the report   was about $ 3   500 . Accepting such a gift violated ethics standards   according to the report . It recommended that the secretary repay the cost of the tickets and reimburse the government for his wife ’ s travel . Dr .

REUTERS / Jon Nazca MADRID ( Reuters ) - Leaders of Spain ’ s industrialised northeastern region of Catalonia said the regional population had voted for independence in a ballot on Sunday that the central government said was illegal and non - representative . With 95 percent of the vote counted   authorities said the “ Yes ” vote stood at 90 . 1 percent   albeit with a turnout of just a little over 40 percent - 2 . 26 million out of 5 . 34 million registered voters . On Tuesday   Barcelona metro stations were closed   pickets blocked main roads and civil servants walked out in response to a strike called by pro - independence groups . The stand - off could now take three different paths . TENSIONS ESCALATE  Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont  continues with  his  pledge to declare unilateral independence   likely prompting the central government to trigger Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution   which would strip the region of  its  autonomous status and put  it  under direct Madrid rule . If Article 155 is triggered   the next step would be snap elections in Catalonia . Pro - independence parties only hold the majority in the regional parliament with the help of the far - left group CUP   and polls   before Sunday ’ s ballot   suggest these groups could lose their hold on power if a new election was called . However   after events on Sunday   when police swung truncheons and fired rubber bullets in the direction of mostly peaceful demonstrators to shut down the referendum   pro - independence parties may again win the election . Such a result would raise doubts surrounding Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy ’ s ability to govern .

Rajoy was voted in as a minority leader twice in last year ’ s two elections and a fractious parliament suggests a snap election may prompt a similar result .

Budget Minister Cristobal Montoro and Economy Minister Luis de Guindos have suggested this may be a possibility if the independence drive is completely abandoned .  Puigdemont  has yet to make a unilateral declaration of independence   instead calling for a period of reflection   leaving the door open for such a scenario . However   after the violent scenes on Sunday and continued protests on Tuesday via a partial strike across the region   the Catalan leader may be keen to keep face and avoid being seen bowing down to Madrid . COURTS If the Catalans do not go ahead with a declaration of independence but also fail to sit down for talks with Rajoy as the two party ’ s positions diverge beyond a possible compromise   Madrid may refer the matter to the constitutional courts . Legal and financial action against Catalan leaders is likely to fuel animosity and could prompt further protests   pushing leaders on both sides into difficult positions .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Carles Puigdemont ?

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald Trump Jr. ? Trump  has repeatedly criticized  his  Justice Department for not aggressively probing a variety of conservative concerns.  He  said recently that officials there “should be looking at the Democrats” and that it was “very discouraging” they were not “going after Hillary Clinton.” On the campaign trail   Trump’s  supporters frequently chanted “Lock  her  up!” at the mention of Clinton’s name.\n“Hopefully they are doing something  and at some point  maybe we are going to all have it out ”  Trump  said recently.\nSessions’s relationship with the president has been significantly strained since he recused himself from the investigation into possible coordination between the  Trump  campaign and the Kremlin to influence the 2016 election. The president has publicly lambasted his attorney general and noted that had he known in advance of Sessions’s recusal  he would not have appointed him to the post.

Mueller III to lead the investigation into the  Trump  campaign and the Kremlin.\n[Jeff Sessions says he plans to stay in role  despite  Trump ’s comments about him]\nIn that context  the letter is likely to be seen by some  especially on the left  as Sessions inappropriately bending to political pressure  perhaps to save his job. The possible reigniting of a probe of Clinton is likely to draw especially fierce criticism  even as it is welcomed by  Trump ’s supporters.\nWhen  Trump  said during the campaign that  he  would “instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor” to look into Clinton  former attorney general Michael Mukasey — a  Trump  supporter and vocal Clinton critic — said  Trump  having  her  investigated and jailed “would be like a banana republic.”\n Trump  would later back down from his threats  before breathing life into them again with his more recent comments.\nBrian Fallon  who served as the press secretary for the Clinton campaign  noted that the Justice Department letter became public not long after revelations that  Donald Trump Jr.  had communicated with WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign.\n“Like clockwork  just as we learn of damning details of  Donald Trump Jr.’s  contacts with WikiLeaks  the Trump administration is firing up the fog machine to distract from the Mueller probe ” Fallon said.\nMany of the items Goodlatte wanted investigated had long been conservative talking points  some having to do with matters many considered resolved: various decisions made in the Clinton email case  the Uranium One purchase  the “unmasking” of people by the intelligence community and allegations by  Trump  that he was wiretapped by his predecessors. Unmasking is a routine part of intelligence officials’ jobs; officials have said there is no evidence to support  Trump’s  claims that  he  was wiretapped; and while conservatives have sought to cast the Uranium One deal as an example of Clinton taking Russian money to influence U.S. policy  there is no evidence that Clinton participated in any discussions regarding the sale  which was approved during the Obama administration while she was secretary of state.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald Trump Jr. ?

A massive California wildfire that has already destroyed nearly 800 structures scorched another 56   000 acres on Sunday   making it the fifth largest such blaze in recorded state history   as it ran toward picturesque coastal cities . But fire officials said as darkness fell that with the hot   dry Santa Ana winds not as fierce as expected   crews had been successful in building some fire lines between the flames and the towns of Montecito and Carpinteria . “ This is a menacing fire   certainly   but we have a lot of people working very diligently to bring it under control  ” Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told an evening press conference . Still   some 5   000 residents remained under evacuation orders in the two communities   near Santa Barbara and about 100 miles ( 160 km ) northwest of Los Angeles . Some 15   000 homes were considered threatened .

It has destroyed 790 houses   outbuildings and other structures and left 90   000 homes and businesses without power . The combination of Santa Ana winds and rugged terrain in the mountains that run through Santa Barbara and Ventura counties have hampered firefighting efforts   and officials said the Thomas Fire was only 10 percent contained on Sunday evening   down from 15 percent earlier in the day . But wind gusts recorded at 35 - 40 miles per hour were less than those predicted by forecasters   giving crews a chance to slow the flames ’ progress down slopes above the endangered communities . The fires burning across Southern California have forced the evacuation of more 200   000 people and destroyed some 1   000 structures . Among them are residents of Montecito   one of the state ’ s wealthiest enclave and home to such celebrities as Oprah Winfrey . Emmy Leikin   an Emmy - winning songwriter who was ordered to evacuate her Montecito home at 9 a . m . on Sunday   said she fled with only her cell phone   medication   eyeglasses and a few apples .

In the last week   only one death has been reported   a 70 - year - old woman who died Wednesday in a car accident as she attempted to flee the flames in Ventura County .

On the morning  Ron Williams  prepared to run the 1984 Chicago Marathon    he  received a phone call informing  him  that  his  father had died . Hours later    Williams  finished the race and then went with  his  sister to attend to funeral duties . \" I wasn ' t feeling sadness  \"  Williams  said . \"  He  ' d had a series of heart attacks and we had enjoyed a blessed extra 15 years of having  him  around . I felt more like I was honoring  him  by running . There wasn ' t any question that I still would run .\" For  Williams  and five other hardy souls   there never has been any question . Through injury and exhaustion   rain and heat and snow   divorce and even death in the family   Williams   Joe Antonini   Randy Burt   Henry Kozlowski   Larry Moon and George Mueller have run all 39 Chicago Marathons . As the race hits its 40th anniversary Sunday with these six runners toeing the starting line   they ' ve become as familiar a race - day sight as water stations and the finish line . \" It keeps me going  \" Moon   76   said . These six runners have seen course and sponsor and race - name changes . They ' ve seen the size of the race — both in number of participants and fans — swell as   save for Burt   they ' ve seen their times slow considerably .

During his first Chicago Marathon in 1977   George Mueller fell hard on his knee but was able to finish . ( Chris Walker / Chicago Tribune ) ( Chris Walker / Chicago Tribune ) But the race memories have forever flowed . \" The aches and pains stay with you for a few days  \" said Burt   who   at age 69   finished in 4 hours   9 minutes   54 seconds last year and owns a personal best of 3 : 07 in 1985 . \" But eventually you get over it and you start thinking : ' What did I do wrong ? And how can I do this better ?' \" Before you know it   the short - term memory of the horrible discomfort of that moment disappears . And you get ready for another one .\" Indeed   that thinking propelled the four alumni runners interviewed for this story to sign up for the second race after trying the initial one Sept . 25   1977   running mostly out of curiosity and novelty . \" About halfway through the first race   I landed wrong on my knee and had this shooting pain  \" Mueller said . \" I got through it and said   ' Well   I ' ve got to learn how to do this .' That was the hook from there : ' I ' m going to get it right .'\" But there ' s a funny thing about running 26 . 2 miles : It ' s tough to perfect .

( Chris Walker / Chicago Tribune ) ( Chris Walker / Chicago Tribune ) From the 1977 race to 1978   Burt thought he had mastered the training process . Then he started at too brisk a pace and developed agonizing stomach cramps . \" As I was throwing up in a trash can at the end   I said   ' I ' ll never run one of these again as long as I live  '\" Burt said . \" And that was a long time ago .\" Thirty - nine years   to be exact . But running through the sights and sounds of Chicago can be an intoxicating experience   particularly when the intrigue inherent in any marathon — with its supreme mental and physical challenges — is added . The competitive element doesn ' t hurt either . An intriguing mix of competition and camaraderie has developed among the six runners   particularly since executive race director Carey Pinkowski began incorporating them into the race ' s fabric . Their entry fee is waived . They ' re invited to the introductory and elite runners ' news conferences . They start in the first wave of runners shortly after the elite athletes and fuel up in VIP tents afterward . \" I remember one year I caught up with one of the alumni runners at about Mile 18   and suddenly I started taking off like a flash  \" Mueller said . \" And my friend said   ' What are you doing ?' I said   ' I don ' t want him to catch me .' \" But last year   one of the guys ( Andrew Praxmarer ) didn ' t make it to the finish . You don ' t take any joy in one of the guys not making it . Every time one of the guys drops out   it ' s like losing a brother .\" Williams   who turns 79 in December   is the oldest of the six runners . He broke 3 hours in 1982 . Last year   he missed his target time of 6 hours by 10 minutes . \" I would ' ve been under 6 hours   but I tripped over a manhole cover at Mile 13 and did a face - plant and had a bloody nose  \" Williams said . \" I had to spend 13 minutes in the first - aid tent . They wouldn ' t let me go out until they could see I could run without falling .\" Such defiance and determination defines many of the runners ' races . Plus   they can ' t just show up on race day and finish . Training takes a major commitment   both mentally and physically . And when you have a 39 - year association with the race — loss of sponsorship forced the 1987 event to be shortened to a half - marathon — things happen . Just last year   Moon slipped on some ice in February   landed on the edge of a marble planter on the sidewalk and fractured two ribs and injured his hip . For two weeks   he used a walker to get from his apartment to a waiting taxi to go to physical therapy a mere two blocks away . \" I did everything they told me  \" Moon said . \" I stretched for an hour before going there . After two weeks   I was able to walk over there . After four weeks   I didn ' t need the walker anymore and went to a cane . After two months   I ' d walk two to three miles and then do my physical therapy . \" I ended up with only July   August and September to train for the marathon . I was just about the last one . They were rolling up the sidewalks and street cleaners were right behind me .\" But Moon   whose fastest time of 3 : 15 came in 1995   finished . In 2007   Mueller also slipped on some ice in February and fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle . \" I got dragged over to the hospital and they said I needed a plate in there  \" Mueller said . \" I went to the orthopedic surgeon with my wife and said   ' Can I get this surgery done today ? Because I ' ve got to run the Chicago Marathon in October .' Of course I got quite the look for that .\" Nevertheless   Mueller finished that race in about 4 : 30 at age 60 . And that ' s the year only 25   544 of the race ' s 36   867 participants finished because officials cut short the event due to oppressive heat . \" I got past the point they stopped the race at Halsted and Adams  \" Burt said . \" I was in Chinatown when I heard on the loudspeakers that race officials had called the race and instructed runners past the cutoff point to walk to the finish line . That ' s my slowest marathon   5 : 10 . In hindsight   I wished I had continued to run a little bit more so I could ' ve beat 5 hours at least .\" Given the time commitment involved in training   there ' s a fine line between selfishness and selflessness that most runners have to navigate . To combat that   Williams began raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in 1998 . In close to two decades   Williams said he has raised $ 273   000   an effort that began in grassroots fashion with him mailing 200 letters from his dining room table .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roger Bannister ?

He  was 88.\n Bannister ’s family said in a statement that  he  died peacefully on Saturday in Oxford  the English city where the runner cracked the feat many had thought humanly impossible on a windy afternoon in 1954.\nHelped by two pacemakers   Bannister  clocked 3 minutes  59.4 seconds over four laps at Oxford’s Iffley Road track on May 6  1954  to break the 4-minute mile – a test of speed and endurance that stands as one of the defining sporting achievements of the 20th century.\n“It’s amazing that more people have climbed Mount Everest than have broken the 4-minute mile ”  Bannister  said in an interview with The Associated Press in 2012.\n“It became a symbol of attempting a challenge in the physical world of something hitherto thought impossible ”  Bannister  said as  he  approached the 50th anniversary of the feat. “I’d like to see it as a metaphor not only for sport  but for life and seeking challenges.”\n He  might not have set the milestone but for the disappointment of finishing without a medal in the 1 500 meters  known as the metric mile  in the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki. Instead of retiring from the sport   he  decided to chase the 4-minute mark.\n“As it became clear that somebody was going to do it  I felt that I would prefer it to be me ”  Bannister  told the AP.\n He  also wanted to deliver something special for  his  country.\n“I thought it would be right for Britain to try to get this ”  Bannister  said. “There was a feeling of patriotism. Our new queen had been crowned the year before  Everest had been climbed in 1953. Although I tried in 1953  I broke the British record  but not the 4-minute mile  and so everything was ready in 1954.”\n His  chance finally came on a wet  cool  blustery May afternoon during a meet between Oxford and the Amateur Athletic Association.\nWhen  Bannister  looked up at the English flag whipping in the wind atop a nearby church   he  feared  he  would have to call off the record attempt. But  shortly before 6 p.m.  the wind died down. The race was on.\nWith Chris Brasher setting the pace on the cinder track  they ran a first lap in 57.5 seconds  then 60.7 – 1:58.2 for the half mile. Chris Chataway  a distance specialist  paced a third lap of 62.3 – 3:00.4.  Bannister  would need to run the final lap in 59 seconds.\nWith 250 yards to go   Bannister  surged past Chataway   his  long arms and legs pumping and  his  lungs gasping for oxygen.\n“The world seemed to stand still  or did not exist ”  he  wrote in  his  book  “The First Four Minutes.”", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Anthony Guglielmi ?

Adrienne Gaither ’ s “ Tribulations  ” acrylic on canvas . On view through Feb . 24 in “ How I Got Over ” at Transformer . ( Adrienne Gaither / Transformer ) Adrienne Gaither ’ s abstract color paintings are meticulously constructed   their bright hues divided by straight   hard - edge lines . Yet there ’ s a sense of disorder and even menace in some of them   which is reflected in the title of the D . C . artist ’ s Transformer show : “ How I Got Over .” The tension between neat patterns and haphazard disruptions reveals “ Gaither ’ s personal recovery from traumatic events in her life  ” a gallery note explains . The upsets aren ’ t specified directly   and the titles of the six large canvasses offer few clues . The picture that aims the sharpest point of a neon - orange triangle toward the bottom left of a field of shards is named “ Not Just Knee Deep  ” probably after the Funkadelic song . Other titles are more commonplace   although one small collage is dubbed “ Tribulation .” That color - field painting could be narrative   or at least psychological   would once have been heretical . In the 1960s   theorists of the genre insisted that the only proper concerns of such “ post - painterly ” art were its own forms and materials . Gaither has flouted such dogma previously with color - block grids of hues derived from skin tones . In this show ’ s “ Kill Shots  ” she flirts with representation by jagging a yellow spike across the canvas   suggesting lightning or some other sudden   violent blast . Despite such dynamic gestures   Gaither ’ s work shares much with mid - 20th - century color painting . The artist has a knack for composition and keeps things interesting by juxtaposing both contrary and complementary hues . Yellows and maroons energize one picture   but so do its abutting areas of two slightly different shades of deep blue .

From the front   strips of both scenes are visible ; from the sides   only one can be seen . That ’ s why  the artist  calls  her  Art League Gallery show “ Double Takes .”  Canzoneri  lives in Washington   and most of  her  two - timing pictures show D . C . sites   decades or more apart . Here   she has included two Alexandria doublings   including one that contrasts the show ’ s venue   the Torpedo Factory   in 1921 and 2017 . The largest gap   chronologically if not thematically   is between the former slave traders ’ building at 1315 Duke St . in 1861 and 2017 . The older of those pictures is by Mathew Brady   the D . C . Civil War photographer . Most often   though   the earlier image ’ s maker cannot be identified .  Canzoneri  works with unknown predecessors   first by framing  her  shot of the scene in imitation of the original   and then by fusing the two .

It’s a rare moment on the scale of seeing a new star emerge in the night sky. Already  a rising art world star  American artist Kehinde Wiley  seems poised now at the age of 35 and after just a little over a decade of work to take the next step and really heat things up. With not one but two big New York City exhibitions  a featured appearance on a hot new album cover  and the kind of retrospective  lavishly illustrated  critically evaluative monograph that seals the deal   Kehinde Wiley  has the whole world in the palm of  his  hand  and that’s exactly what  he  wants.\nBorn in 1977 as the youngest of six children to a single mother   Wiley  grew up facing hard economic times but also enjoying the intellectual stimulation of having a mother in academia. Looking for a way to keep Kehinde occupied   his  mother enrolled  him  in art classes  including some at the Huntington Library  where  he  could study portraits such as Thomas Gainsborough’s famous Blue Boy. After graduating with an MFA from Yale in 2001   Wiley  became artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem  where  he  witnessed a steady stream of young African-American men walk past in full hip hop regalia. Joining the old school world of portraiture with this new school of personal style   Wiley  developed the unique subject matter and approach that has been a popular and critical success since.\nIn Kehinde Wiley  the first monograph dedicated to Wiley’s career as a whole (published by Rizzoli USA)  Thelma Golden  chief curator and director of the Studio Museum in Harlem  introduces the volume by remarking that she “was in conversation with  Wiley  before I ever spoke to  him .” Wiley’s work touches on “the politics of representation; the power of art history; the veracity of images; notions of authorship  identity  and culture; the critical nexus of race and gender in contemporary art ” Golden lists—all things that she and nearly all contemporary art critics think deeply about. This combination of Wiley’s thought provoking practice and stunningly beautiful paintings makes him irresistible to both the high brows and those simply wanting to enjoy the show.\nIn addition to capturing visually  Wiley ’s bravura brushwork and vast range of visual inventiveness in 275 color illustrations (including some gatefolds)   the contributors Kehinde Wiley  dig  their  critical teeth deep into Wiley’s art and come away with a mouthful. Art historian Robert Hobbs provides a detailed biography not just of Wiley’s life but of his thought  mapping mental landmarks ranging from W.E.B. DuBois and Henry Louis Gates  Jr.  to Michel Foucault and Jacques Lacan. Hobbs sees a kind of “conceptual realism” at the heart of Wiley’s portraiture that is “coercive rather than simply mimetic.” More than just capturing a likeness  Wiley’s portraits capture your mind and make you think about the power relations embedded in imagery of all kinds throughout history.\n Wiley ’s standard procedure has been to “street cast” individuals who catch his eye  invite them to his studio  allow them to browse art history books and pick a pose  and then photograph the subjects in full regalia to use for painting later. Wiley’s 2008 painting The Virgin Martyr St. Cecilia (shown above) riffs on Renaissance sculptor Stefano Maderno’s The Virgin Martyr St. Cecilia from 1600. From one perspective  the prone African-American male seems as powerless as the martyred saint. From another  the young man takes on the gravitas of Cecilia as a modern victim of thoughtless violence. From yet another  knowing that the young man chose this pose for himself  he takes on the role of provocateur  consciously drawing all those associations and more—paradoxically in control even when prone. This alchemical approach to art history is at the center of the “conceptual realism” Hobbs suggests.\nThe Jewish Museum  New York is currently showing the latest installment of The World Stage paintings—Kehinde Wiley/The World Stage: Israel. The exhibition features 14 large-scale portraits of young Israeli men of different ethnic backgrounds and religions. A video on the museum’s website shows Wiley in Tel Aviv “street casting” and finding individuals such as Ethopian Jewish hip hop performer Kalkidan. Wiley finds hip hop in the unlikeliest places in Israel  proving the global reach of the art form that began in the Bronx as a means of “black” expression.\nThe title of Sean Kelly Gallery’s current Wiley exhibition  Kehinde Wiley: An Economy of Grace  could be an emblem for everything Wiley’s been doing for the past decade both locally and globally. “The phrase ‘an economy of grace’ speaks directly to the ways in which we manufacture and value grace and honor  the people that we choose to bestow that honor upon  and the ways in which grace is at once an ideal that we strive for and something that is considered to be a natural human right ” Wiley explains. Wiley’s trying to turn his personal economy of grace into a global economy  with his portraits as the new gold standard. As technology brings us closer and closer  the friction between individuals  countries  ideologies  religions  and everything else heats up faster than ever. Grace may be the only currency that can pull us out of the global spiritual debt crisis. If Kehinde Wiley seems to have the world in his hands right now  it’s because he wants to save it one image at a time by showing us the grace and beauty of black men and  by extension  the grace and beauty of us all.\n[Image: Kehinde Wiley.

In a statement   Apple said it \" have never -- and would never -- do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product .\" The company insisted the iOS upgrade from earlier this year that slowed down batteries was introduced to stop unexpected shutdowns and extend battery life .

On Dec . 20   Apple admitted that processing speeds on older iPhones were intentionally slower   beginning with the iOS 10 . 2 . 1 upgrade in 2016 . The company said the move was meant to prevent phones from shutting down in cold temperatures   when the battery was low or on phones with very old batteries . Aging batteries meant phones could have trouble operating or might unexpectedly shut down   as was the case with some iPhone 6 and 6S devices last year   CNET reported .

Ad Policy The Amazon founder ’ s geeky obsession with numbers evidently formed early   and despite the glimmer of discomfort revealed by his Princeton anecdote   his fervently quantitative take on the world clearly still predominates . In a letter accompanying the 2009 Amazon annual report   for instance   he sets out a mind - boggling 452 goals for the company in the coming year . The word \" revenue \" is mentioned only eight times   yet revenue growth is central to the Amazon story . Expanding both internationally and across other products — nonbook sales represent 75 percent of total Amazon turnover — Amazon ’ s global business has increased fifteenfold over the past decade   28 percent last year alone . Sales in 2009 topped $ 24 . 5 billion . To put that in perspective   in 2008 total sales by all US bookstores were less than $ 17 billion .

Amazon has not grown to where it is today by being touchy - feely . Sure   it adopted the informal trappings that characterized many of the new technology start - ups of the 1990s . But if  Bezos ’ s  first desk at  the company  was an old door on trestles   the business conducted from behind it has been as ruthless as anything  he  encountered in  his  previous gig as a Wall Street broker .

NPR ' s Ari Shapiro speaks with  Omar  about the ambitious art project that can only be seen from the sky . ARI SHAPIRO   HOST : In Lebanon   twin brothers welcomed the new year with a work of art nearly a mile long . Mohamed and  Omar Kabbani  are 34 - year - old graffiti artists . They painted the rooftops of more than 80 buildings lime green . Seen from above   the green roofs spell out salam   which means peace in Arabic . The brothers hope it will help change how people think of their home .  OMAR KABBANI  : Whenever they talk about the Middle East or Lebanon   all they think about is extremism and terrorism . By painting a big word   salam   we want to show people that we ' re creative and positive things coming out from the Middle East . I think we made our goal happen . SHAPIRO :  Omar Kabbani  joined us from Lebanon on Skype to explain how  he  and  his  brother Mohamed put this project together . KABBANI : We had this idea almost three years ago   and we wanted to paint a big word that can be seen from space . We chose the northern part of Lebanon   an area - a region called Tripoli . It ' s the second biggest city in Lebanon . There was   like   two fighting militias fighting a small civil war between two areas   and we decided to go up and paint the word salam above this area in particular . We recruited 62 ex - militiamen or ex - fighters . KABBANI : So basically they dropped their guns and they started helping us with painting their own rooftops . SHAPIRO : And I understand some of these buildings had bullet holes . Some of them were uninhabitable . You could really see the signs of the violence in this neighborhood . It was a battle zone . There ' s plenty of bullets . The buildings were on fire . So it was funny but sad at the same moment . Like   when we used to go up to scout   they used to tell us   yeah   I used to sit here and point my sniper rifle . So ... SHAPIRO : Wow . KABBANI : It was like a really true story . Like   people who lived violence and lived   like   war started going up to their rooftop without the fear of being shot . SHAPIRO : I imagine that for some of these fighters who had sat on these rooftops with guns   to come back to those rooftops and paint them bright green to spell out the word peace must have been a very emotional experience . KABBANI : It was very challenging for us . And it was challenging for them . We stayed there for three weeks . Every day   we go up . And you can hear their stories . And you know   like   they are in rock bottom   complete poverty . So whenever someone gives them   like - I don ' t know - a small amount of money   they would go and hold the gun and start shooting . But if the people give them an opportunity to work   they will work . There are   like   really good - hearted people . They want to do something positive . And we used not just bright green paint - regular paint . We used   like - it ' s anti - leakage   and it prevents from - anti - UV also .  SHAPIRO  : Oh   like waterproof and reflecting the sun   so it cools the houses and keeps them dry . So it has - so people were really happy that we ' re in a way fixing the rooftops   you know ?  SHAPIRO  : Has the crew actually seen the finished work of art - because you can really only see it from a drone . There are photographs   but you could be standing on one of these rooftops and not know that it ' s spelling out the word salam . KABBANI : Yeah   of course . When we first briefed them about the project   we showed them what we were painting . And   like   every two days   we flew a drone to show them and for us to see the progress of the work . And of course   we showed them the end results . SHAPIRO : Omar Kabbani   thanks a lot . KABBANI : You ' re welcome . SHAPIRO :  Omar Kabbani     his  brother Mohamed and their crew painted more than 80 rooftops in the Lebanese city of Tripoli to say salam - peace in Arabic .

When does an artist become a phenomenon? It’s a rare moment on the scale of seeing a new star emerge in the night sky. Already  a rising art world star  American artist Kehinde Wiley  seems poised now at the age of 35 and after just a little over a decade of work to take the next step and really heat things up. With not one but two big New York City exhibitions  a featured appearance on a hot new album cover  and the kind of retrospective  lavishly illustrated  critically evaluative monograph that seals the deal   Kehinde Wiley  has the whole world in the palm of  his  hand  and that’s exactly what  he  wants.\nBorn in 1977 as the youngest of six children to a single mother   Wiley  grew up facing hard economic times but also enjoying the intellectual stimulation of having a mother in academia. Looking for a way to keep Kehinde occupied   his  mother enrolled  him  in art classes  including some at the Huntington Library  where  he  could study portraits such as Thomas Gainsborough’s famous Blue Boy. After graduating with an MFA from Yale in 2001   Wiley  became artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem  where  he  witnessed a steady stream of young African-American men walk past in full hip hop regalia. Joining the old school world of portraiture with this new school of personal style   Wiley  developed the unique subject matter and approach that has been a popular and critical success since.\nIn Kehinde Wiley  the first monograph dedicated to Wiley’s career as a whole (published by Rizzoli USA)  Thelma Golden  chief curator and director of the Studio Museum in Harlem  introduces the volume by remarking that she “was in conversation with  Wiley  before I ever spoke to  him .” Wiley’s work touches on “the politics of representation; the power of art history; the veracity of images; notions of authorship  identity  and culture; the critical nexus of race and gender in contemporary art ” Golden lists—all things that she and nearly all contemporary art critics think deeply about. This combination of Wiley’s thought provoking practice and stunningly beautiful paintings makes him irresistible to both the high brows and those simply wanting to enjoy the show.\nIn addition to capturing visually  Wiley ’s bravura brushwork and vast range of visual inventiveness in 275 color illustrations (including some gatefolds)   the contributors Kehinde Wiley  dig  their  critical teeth deep into Wiley’s art and come away with a mouthful. Art historian Robert Hobbs provides a detailed biography not just of Wiley’s life but of his thought  mapping mental landmarks ranging from W.E.B. DuBois and Henry Louis Gates  Jr.  to Michel Foucault and Jacques Lacan. Hobbs sees a kind of “conceptual realism” at the heart of Wiley’s portraiture that is “coercive rather than simply mimetic.” More than just capturing a likeness  Wiley’s portraits capture your mind and make you think about the power relations embedded in imagery of all kinds throughout history.\n Wiley ’s standard procedure has been to “street cast” individuals who catch his eye  invite them to his studio  allow them to browse art history books and pick a pose  and then photograph the subjects in full regalia to use for painting later. Wiley’s 2008 painting The Virgin Martyr St. Cecilia (shown above) riffs on Renaissance sculptor Stefano Maderno’s The Virgin Martyr St. Cecilia from 1600. From one perspective  the prone African-American male seems as powerless as the martyred saint. From another  the young man takes on the gravitas of Cecilia as a modern victim of thoughtless violence. From yet another  knowing that the young man chose this pose for himself  he takes on the role of provocateur  consciously drawing all those associations and more—paradoxically in control even when prone. This alchemical approach to art history is at the center of the “conceptual realism” Hobbs suggests.\nThe Jewish Museum  New York is currently showing the latest installment of The World Stage paintings—Kehinde Wiley/The World Stage: Israel. The exhibition features 14 large-scale portraits of young Israeli men of different ethnic backgrounds and religions. A video on the museum’s website shows Wiley in Tel Aviv “street casting” and finding individuals such as Ethopian Jewish hip hop performer Kalkidan. Wiley finds hip hop in the unlikeliest places in Israel  proving the global reach of the art form that began in the Bronx as a means of “black” expression.\nThe title of Sean Kelly Gallery’s current Wiley exhibition  Kehinde Wiley: An Economy of Grace  could be an emblem for everything Wiley’s been doing for the past decade both locally and globally. “The phrase ‘an economy of grace’ speaks directly to the ways in which we manufacture and value grace and honor  the people that we choose to bestow that honor upon  and the ways in which grace is at once an ideal that we strive for and something that is considered to be a natural human right ” Wiley explains. Wiley’s trying to turn his personal economy of grace into a global economy  with his portraits as the new gold standard. As technology brings us closer and closer  the friction between individuals  countries  ideologies  religions  and everything else heats up faster than ever. Grace may be the only currency that can pull us out of the global spiritual debt crisis. If Kehinde Wiley seems to have the world in his hands right now  it’s because he wants to save it one image at a time by showing us the grace and beauty of black men and  by extension  the grace and beauty of us all.\n[Image: Kehinde Wiley.

Face masks are placed on children in Antananarivo   Madagascar   on Tuesday . ( Alexander Joe / Associated Press ) Some might consider the plague a thing of the past   buried deep in medieval history . But it thrives in Madagascar   where the disease is a seasonal worry . And this year   the country is experiencing what may be its deadliest outbreak in years : About 194 people are suspected to have fallen ill from the plague since August   and 33 have died as of Saturday   according to Madagascar ’ s Ministry of Health . Experts say they can ’ t remember the last time the death toll was so high . In 2016   63 people died over the course of the year   out of 275 cases . The majority of this year ’ s cases are pneumonic plague   which can be transmitted through coughing   according to the BBC . This form of the disease can kill an infected person in less than a day . To slow the outbreak   Madagascar is temporarily shutting down its public institutions . Government authorities ordered two universities to close   and other schools have shut their doors across the country   including the capital   Antananarivo   so buildings can be sprayed with insecticides . The World Health Organization has shipped more than a million doses of antibiotics to the country   the BBC reported . “ We are scared — all of these deaths show that the situation is serious  ” Miora Herinjatovo   55   told Agence France - Presse on Wednesday . She got a mask from a hospital — unlike her husband   who failed to get one after standing in line outside a pharmacy . He instead collected a handful of generic antibiotics . [ The plague   alive and well in Madagascar ] Experts say the outbreak started in late August   when a 31 - year - old man from the eastern city of Toamasina took a trip inland to Ankazobe   where the plague lives in rodent and flea populations . While there   he came down with malaria - like symptoms . He died in a taxi home   passing through Antananarivo   the WHO said in a Sept . 28 statement . The WHO said that many of the cases identified are directly or indirectly linked to the man   which is evidence of person - to - person transmission . Of the 31 people who made direct or indirect contact with him   four became ill and died   the WHO said . Antananarivo and Toamasina were among the most - infected cities : As of Sept . 30   Antananarivo and its suburbs had 27 cases and seven deaths   and Toamasina had 18 cases and five deaths . Antananarivo has about 1 . 3 million residents   while Toamasina has about 237   000   according to a 2014 count by the National Institute of Statistics in Madagascar . Public gatherings   including jazz festivals and basketball tournaments   have been called off to prevent the plague from spreading   according to media reports . One of the people killed by the plague last week was a basketball coach from the Seychelles   who died while visiting the capital for a tournament   according to a WHO report released Thursday . “ Right now   we have the outbreak of a very infectious   fatal disease  ” said Katharina Kreppel   an epidemiologist at the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania   who spent four years conducting field research in Madagascar . “ If people don ’ t notice fast enough   or don ’ t have access to health care fast enough   they die very quickly .” [ There ’ s plague in Arizona . Authorities warn of fleas that can infect people and pets .] This plague shares the same bacterium   yersinia pestis   that caused the “ Black Death ” pandemic in Europe during the 14th century . The most common form of the plague in Madagascar was   until this year   the bubonic plague   spread to humans through infected fleas that contracted the infection from small animals they bit   like rats . The disease is typically spread to humans by the bite of an infected flea   according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . The bubonic plague is often treatable with antibiotics . If left untreated   though   the bacteria can spread through the bloodstream to the lungs and cause pneumonic plague — a deadly   more infectious form that ’ s now spreading throughout Madagascar . Symptoms of the pneumonic plague are similar to the common cold   according to the CDC . The symptoms of bubonic plague are fever   headaches   chills and weakness — as well as one or more swollen and painful lymph nodes   known as buboes . The bacteria multiply in the lymph node closest to where the bacteria entered the body   usually through the infected flea bite   according to the CDC . If an infected person isn ’ t given antibiotics   the bacteria can spread to other parts of the body . Should the bubonic plague become pneumonic   the person will develop shortness of breath   chest pain and sometimes bloody or watery mucous . The pneumonia may cause respiratory failure and shock . All forms of plague   if untreated   can progress rapidly to death   according to the CDC . There have been three major plague pandemics : The Justinian plague   which broke in the Byzantine Empire in AD 541 ; the “ Black Death  ” which originated in China in 1334 and spread to Europe ; and the Modern Plague   which began in China in the 1860s and appeared in Hong Kong by 1894   according to the CDC . It was during the last pandemic that scientists identified the link between the bacteria and infectious flea bites   and rat - associated plague was soon brought under control in most urban areas . The plague has since been controlled in most countries with insecticides   according to the CDC . And since it can be treated with antibiotics   the spread of the disease is usually prevented if promptly identified . The plague is most commonly found in sub - Saharan Africa and Madagascar   areas which account for more than 95 percent of reported cases   according to the CDC . Madagascar often sees the highest numbers of bubonic plague cases worldwide   about 600 infections annually . Madagascar has been in the throes of a political crisis since 2009 and has become one of the poorest countries in the world   with more than 92 percent of the population living on less than $ 2 a day   according to the World Bank Group . It ’ s lost a substantial portion of international aid   and its infrastructure has deteriorated . Once rice harvest season finishes at the end of summer   the rat population drops   as they don ’ t have as much food . Fleas begin looking for new hosts to bite and settle on humans . As it is an island   Madagascar is home to species that transmit the plague and often aren ’ t found anywhere else    Kreppel  told The Washington Post . While Madagascar ’ s scientists have monitored plague patterns for years and have the knowledge to mitigate the spread of this new   pneumonic plague   the money and resources to do so aren ’ t available    Kreppel  said . There isn ’ t adequate funding for insecticides   spraying equipment or antibiotics   she said   and there aren ’ t enough health facilities to house quarantined patients . The country can ’ t afford the vehicles required to travel to isolated villages   should the disease spread further    Kreppel  said . “ If an outbreak like this happened in the U . S . or Europe or anywhere else it would be controlled quite fast   because the resources are there  ” she said . This post has been updated .

On the surface   Representative Blake Farenthold ’ s arc this week is familiar : Politician is accused of bad behavior ; politician is accused of even more bad behavior ; politician announces he ’ ll leave office . In the case of the Texas Republican   that came after the series of scathing exposes in The New York Times and then CNN . The Times described an alcohol - sodden   sexually charged office in which “ women would discuss which male lobbyists had texted them pictures of their genitals   and both men and women would talk about strip clubs and whether certain Fox News anchors had breast implants .” CNN heard that Farenthold screamed at staffers   called them “ fucktards  ” made rude comments about a staffer ’ s fiancee   and left the staffer in severe pain with daily vomiting . By Thursday morning   Farenthold was announcing he wouldn ’ t run for reelection   though he intended to serve out his term . ( His ability to follow through will depend on whether further revelations emerge   and what sort of political pressure he receives — especially from other Republicans .) Related Story Who Survives a Sexual - Harassment Allegation ? But Farenthold ’ s case is also significant for its deviation from the normal pattern . Thus far   a strange dichotomy has developed within claims of sexual harassment . The last two months have seen many women newly inspired to share stories of bad behavior   be it recent or two decades ago . The men they are accusing have in many cases been toppled   for sins ranging from groping and lewd comments to rape . Meanwhile   men who stood accused of harassment or abuse before the sudden downfall of Harvey Weinstein have   for the most part   managed to remain in positions of power . It is as though accusations B . H . ( Before Harvey ) are grandfathered in . Farenthold   however   breaks the pattern : Even though stories of sexual harassment surfaced as early as 2014   that didn ’ t inoculate him . Examples of this grandfathering effect abound . Within politics   the most glaring example is President Trump . It has become truism to note the dissonance between his continued tenure as president   despite having been recorded boasting about sexual assaults   even as other abusers are forced from office — sometimes over behavior that is at once unacceptable but also less serious than the allegations against Trump . Trump is hardly alone   though .  Clarence Thomas  continues to enjoy  his  lifetime appointment at the Supreme Court   despite the allegations Anita Hill lodged against  him  during  his  confirmation hearings . Representative Alcee Hastings   a Florida Democrats   was known to have been sued for sexual harassment several years ago   though Roll Call only revealed the $ 220   000 settlement paid to his accuser last Friday . Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky but survived office and has enjoyed a post - presidential career as a globetrotting elder statesman and grand old man of the Democratic Party . ( Clinton ’ s past behavior did play a role in his wife ’ s loss in the 2016 presidential race   and while there is a move to reassess his legacy   it comes so late in his career as to be barely consequential .) Outside of politics   there are plenty of other examples . Dylan Farrow   who has long accused Woody Allen of sexual abuse ( and whose brother Ronan Farrow helped break the Weinstein story )  wrote in the Los Angeles Times   “ Why is it that Harvey Weinstein and other accused celebrities have been cast out by Hollywood   while Allen recently secured a multimillion - dollar distribution deal with Amazon   greenlit by former Amazon Studios executive Roy Price before he was suspended over sexual misconduct allegations ?” Across entertainment   from R .

His  once-promising political career in shambles   Minnesota Sen. Al Franken  appeared on the verge of resigning after fellow Democrats led by female senators abandoned  him  Wednesday over the mounting allegations of sexual misconduct that are roiling Capitol Hill.\nGillibrand was the first to call for  Franken 's resignation on Wednesday  but a torrent of Democrats quickly followed.\n\"I'm shocked and appalled by Sen. Franken's behavior \" said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state. \"It's clear to me that this has been a deeply harmful  persistent problem and a clear pattern over a long period of time. It's time for  him  to step aside.\"\nThough the writing appeared to be on the wall   Franken 's departure was not certain. A tweet posted Wednesday evening on  Franken 's Twitter account said: \"Senator Franken is talking with his family at this time and plans to make an announcement in D.C. tomorrow. Any reports of a final decision are inaccurate.\"\nSchumer called  Franken  immediately after the latest allegation — and before the torrent of demands for  Franken 's resignation from Democrats — and told  him   he  needed to resign  said a Democrat familiar with the events. Schumer met later in his apartment with  Franken  and Franken's wife  Franni  and repeated that message  and  he  did the same in additional talks with the senator throughout the day  said the Democrat  who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.\nDemocratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez weighed in  too  asking  Franken  to resign and saying  \"Sexual misconduct  harassment and assault have no place in the Democratic Party  the United States Congress  the White House or anywhere.\"\nThe resignation demands came in rapid succession even though  Franken  on Wednesday vehemently denied the new accusation that came from a former Democratic congressional aide  who said  he  tried to forcibly kiss her after a taping of  his  radio show in 2006.\nThe woman  who was not identified  told Politico that  Franken  pursued her after her boss had left and she was collecting her belongings. She said that she ducked to avoid his lips and that  Franken  told her: \"It's my right as an entertainer.\"\n Franken  already faced a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into previous claims by several other women that  he  groped them or sought to forcibly kiss them.\nThe allegations began in mid-November when Leeann Tweeden  now a Los Angeles radio anchor  accused  him  of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 USO tour in Afghanistan.\nOther allegations followed  including a woman who says  Franken  put  his  hand on her buttocks as they posed for a photo at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010. Two women told the Huffington Post that  Franken  squeezed their buttocks at political events during  his  first campaign for the Senate in 2008. A fourth woman  an Army veteran  alleged  Franken  cupped her breast during a photo on a USO tour in 2003.\n Franken  has apologized for  his  behavior but has also disputed some of the allegations.\n Franken  was first elected to the Senate in 2008  defeating Republican Norm Coleman in a bitter recount that took seven months.  Franken  won that race despite attacks over bawdy humor and writings dating back to  his  days on NBC's \"Saturday Night Live \" including a proposed skit joking about rape.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Clarence Thomas ? Jill Abramson’s hit piece on  Clarence Thomas  remarkably relies on David Brock and Fred Cooke  although Brock himself rebutted Abramson’s own work on  Thomas  and has highlighted Cooke as a problematic source. Here are the facts.\nMayer and Abramson have made these accusations on the basis of accounts from sources who tell me they were either flatly misquoted or misrepresented  or refused to confirm information attributed to them. The list of these people who say they were misquoted includes the only woman whose allegations against  Thomas  have not been previously reported — and refuted — in prior books or articles. In addition to relying on fake evidence  doctored quotes  and unsupported hearsay  the book is brimming with anonymous and discreditable sources. Key figures were never interviewed. Where evidence does not fit the authors’ point  it is ignored entirely. And a whole array of alleged facts — small and large — are simply wrong.\nThe case that  Thomas  exhibited an interest in pornography after his student days rests on the accounts of two people: Barry Maddox  the proprietor of a Washington  D.C. video rental shop  and Frederick Cooke  a Washington attorney. [A third source  Kaye Savage  who claims to have information linking  Thomas  to Playboy magazine  is discussed later in this review.] Mayer and Abramson write:\n“But the interest in pornography that  Thomas  first exhibited at Yale apparently continued through the early 1980s  when Long Dong Silver was a well-known figure among fans of X-rated movies. According to Barry Maddox  the proprietor of Graffiti  a video rental and equipment store just off Dupont Circle  a few blocks from the EEOC’s headquarters  the store began to rent pornographic videos in 1982. Not long afterward  Maddox recalled   Thomas  became a regular customer.”\nThere are several problems with this account  including that the EEOC’s headquarters at 18th and L Streets NW  a few blocks south of the Dupont Circle area  did not open until August 1989.  Thomas  worked at that location for only a matter of months  and during the entire time  he  was in the middle of a brutal confirmation fight for a seat on the D.C.

Yet after spending a year crisscrossing the country in a quixotic bid to unseat Putin   Navalny was denied registration as a candidate in the March 18 presidential election . Now Navalny is calling for an election boycott to protest what he calls a predetermined vote   pitting Putin against seven preapproved candidates who have no intention of winning . ' The basis of Putin ' s regime ' His experience as a lawyer in Russia ' s courts steered him toward politics   Navalny said   because he realized the only way to guarantee an independent judiciary is by overhauling the country ' s entire political system . \" I ' m definitely not alone   and I ' m not some kind of dissident  \" he said . \" If you take any of my anti - corruption investigations or any points from my political platform   I ' m sure the majority of Russian citizens would support me — and that ' s why I wasn ' t allowed to run .\"  Navalny  said  his  main challenge isn ' t so much overcoming apathy as the belief imposed from above that nothing can be changed : \" That ' s the basis of Putin ' s regime .\" Putin is afraid because he knows his legendary 80 percent approval ratings are possible only in a political vacuum where there is no competition   Navalny said . His presidential campaign claims that it had signed up more than 200   000 volunteers and had opened 81 offices nationwide . Enlarge this image toggle caption Vasily Maximov / AFP / Getty Images Vasily Maximov / AFP / Getty Images What kind of threat Navalny really poses to Putin   65   who has run Russia for 18 years   is open to debate . \" Putin is doing everything to convince himself that Navalny isn ' t dangerous  \" said Russian political analyst Tatyana Stanovaya . \" Navalny is betting on the gradual deterioration of the regime as it gets older .\" A poll published by the Carnegie Moscow Center this week shows that 42 percent of Russians believe \" decisive   comprehensive changes \" are necessary — while almost the same amount   41 percent   said \" only minor changes \" are needed and 11 percent think no changes are necessary . Asked to name the politician with the best reform plan   25 percent said Putin and just 2 percent Navalny . More than 60 percent said \" no one \" or \" not sure .\" An Internet native with a fuzzy ideology Navalny vows to keep fighting Putin by using his main tool to reach Russia ' s far - flung population — the Internet . He has more than 2 million followers on Twitter as well as 2 million subscribers to his two YouTube channels . \" Probably you can call me a person of the Internet  \" he said . \" It was a lifesaver not just for me but everyone else who suddenly found themselves under censorship .\"  Navalny  has been all but banned from Russia ' s national TV stations   except for documentary - style films that paint  him  as a paid stooge of Western European governments . In January   Putin said criticism from the State Department that  Navalny ' s  candidacy was not registered showed the U . S . administration ' s true preference for who should sit in the Kremlin   and constituted interference in Russia ' s domestic politics .  Navalny  has built  his  political career on attacking Putin and investigating the fortunes of members of the president ' s entourage . But asked to describe  his  own ideology    Navalny  balks   saying Russian political labels don ' t translate well to the American context . For example    he  said   the views of a Russian Communist might be most comparable to a right - wing conservative in the United States   while a liberal in Russia could be considered a libertarian in America . Under the conditions of an authoritarian regime   political labels are irrelevant   Navalny said   because his main goal is to unite people who agree on basic values such as the separation of powers   the rule of law and an independent judiciary . Once Putin leaves power   that coalition will then go its separate ways   he said . Some opposition supporters cannot forgive Navalny for flirting with far - right Russian nationalists before the last wave of anti - government protests six years ago . He maintains that the label doesn ' t bother him . Political analyst Stanovaya said she wouldn ' t exaggerate Navalny ' s sympathy for nationalists   as any politician who wants to be successful in Russia has to appeal to Russian patriotism . \" It ' s Navalny ' s conscious choice not to define his ideology so he doesn ' t box himself in beforehand . He needs the freedom to act   and the game he ' s playing is beyond any ideological boundaries  \" Stanovaya said . \" He ' s counting on protest — any protest — and on discontent in the population .\" Putin ' s ' creeping expansion into the Internet ' A lot of Navalny ' s ideas about how politics should work come from an eight - month fellowship at Yale University eight years ago   which he said opened his eyes to \" the bigger picture \" of how the rest of the world functions   including the rough - and - tumble ride of American politics . One reason for current tensions between the U . S . and Russia is that Putin ' s people still can ' t believe that democracy actually works   according to Navalny . Enlarge this image toggle caption Alexandra Dalsbaek / AFP / Getty Images Alexandra Dalsbaek / AFP / Getty Images He said he doesn ' t have any doubts that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 U . S . presidential election because similar methods have been deployed against members of the Russian opposition : hacked emails   the publication of false personal information and attacks on social media accounts by armies of bots . \" Putin is conducting a creeping expansion into the Internet — extremely effectively and cheaply  \" Navalny said . \" Of course he had fun hacking those servers and meddling   but it didn ' t have any significant effect on the elections .\" Amid all the hostility between the U . S . and Russia   Navalny said the affinity between Putin and President Trump is inexplicable   especially considering that the Kremlin has based even its domestic policy on anti - Americanism . \" This makes no sense   and there is no rational explanation for it . But maybe one day there will be a new Watergate and we ' ll learn a lot about these amazing ties  \" he said . Beyond the personal relationship of presidents    Navalny  said that the strategic interests of Washington and Moscow are largely aligned   and that instead of squabbling the countries should be pursuing nuclear non - proliferation and fighting terrorists together . A key move to bettering relations would be for Russia to stop its involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine   he said . \" We ' re a Western country  \"  Navalny  said . \" Russia — based on its size   population   nuclear weapons and intellectual potential — should strive to be a leading European country .\" Russia should aim to join the European Union and work on participating in a joint security system with NATO members like the U . S .  Britain and France   he said . Persevering in pursuit of transformation Russia ' s orientation has been the subject of debate for centuries in a tug - of - war between Westernizers and traditionalists . In today ' s globalized world   that choice is no longer relevant   said Fyodor Lukyanov   editor - in - chief of Russia in Global Affairs . \" It ' s not about how to become part of so - called wider Europe   because wider Europe is shrinking  \" said Lukyanov   referring to centrifugal forces driving countries like Britain out of the EU . \" It ' s a completely different constellation of forces . It ' s not current or relevant for Russia   NATO or Europe .\" Enlarge this image toggle caption Alexander Zemlianichenko / AP Alexander Zemlianichenko / AP Even if Navalny ' s vision of Russia ' s place in the world seems illusory   he also wants Russia to be more Western internally . Should he ever come to power    Navalny  said   his first priority would be reforming the judiciary . The second would be abandoning Russia ' s strong presidency for a European - style parliamentary system . For now    Navalny  is focusing on activating what  he  calls the \" living political network \"  he  formed while preparing  his  luckless presidential bid . On election day    Navalny  wants to send out teams of volunteers to observe polling nationwide for any irregularities . A little more than six years ago   reports of mass vote rigging during parliamentary elections served as the spark that got tens of thousands of Russians taking part in a winter of anti - government protests that rattled the Kremlin .

An alien star in distant space seems to be acting very strangely . NASA ' s Kepler Space Telescope caught sight of the star as part of the spacecraft ' s hunt for planets outside the solar system   which are also known as exoplanets . Kepler looks for exoplanets by seeing a dip in the light of a star   presumably when a planet passes between its host star and the spacecraft . This eclipse produces a regular   periodic dip in the starlight that can help scientists characterize the planet . But when Kepler caught sight of this star — called KIC 8462852 — it didn ' t see anything resembling a regular   periodic dip in starlight . Instead   the probe saw a more erratic dimming and brightening of the star   nothing like what you ' d expect to see when a planet eclipses . “ We ’ d never seen anything like this star  ” Tabetha Boyajian   a postdoc researcher at Yale told the Atlantic   one of the first publications to report on the finding . “ It was really weird . We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft   but everything checked out .” So   what could this weird star be ? Numerous media outlets   including   to some extent   The Atlantic   have latched onto the idea that it could be an “ alien megastructure ” constructed by an extraterrestrial civilization orbiting that star . Such a structure would be large enough to periodically block light from the star . But the truth is that scientists aren ' t yet sure what could be causing the star to flicker from our perspective   and an “ alien megastructure ” is pretty far down on their list of possible explanations for the light curve . “ It ’ s kind of funny   I don ’ t really know how this ended up going from weird dips in a light curve to alien structures  ” Kepler scientist Steve Howell told Mashable in an interview . “ The alien hypothesis should be a last resort . Something we consider for fun rather than out of seriousness  ” MIT exoplanet scientist Sara Seager told Mashable in an email . In reality   there could be other   very cool explanations for why the star seems so odd . Some people have suggested that there could be a huge swarm of comets surrounding the star   causing its light to dip in and out from Kepler ’ s perspective . A planet that has broken up in orbit around the star    Howell  added   could even cause the odd light dips .  Howell  was also reminded of another star system  he  and  his  colleagues working with Kepler have been studying recently . The strange solar system — named KIC 4150611 — appears to be made up of five stars orbiting one another   a kind of star system never before observed . “ While that ’ s an unusual system   it ’ s certainly not aliens . It ’ s just stars  ”  Howell  said . The KIC 4150611 light curve looks kind of similar to the ones produced by Kepler for KIC 8462852    Howell  said .  Howell  and  his  colleagues haven ’ t yet published their findings   but they hope to in the near future . The KIC 8462852 findings   which have set off the media speculation   were first detailed in a study that has been submitted for publication to the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society   though it has not yet gone all the way through the peer review process . The discoveries were made   in part   thanks to a group of citizen scientists working with Planet Hunters to comb through Kepler data . The initial study didn ’ t mention any kind of “ alien megastructure  ” Howell said . The authors instead opted to discuss some more mundane — and more likely — possibilities for what they were seeing in their data . The first study led to another not - yet - peer - reviewed paper posted to arxiv . org . That website is a repository of electronic preprints   known as e - prints   of scientific papers in fields from mathematics to biology   all of which can be accessed for free . These papers have not yet been fully peer previewed   however   which means their findings should be treated as preliminary . The second paper that appeared on arxiv mentioned what a structure built by aliens might look like and how it might relate to KIC 8462852   but — and this is a crucial detail — that study also made it clear that \" it ' s aliens \" was not necessarily a good explanation for the light curve .  Howell  has offered to take some photos of KIC 8462852 when  his  team uses a ground - based observatory for other observations next week . This could help clear up the mystery of exactly what ’ s going on with that star system . “ In science   I think that we believe Arxiv papers are nice   but if they ’ re not refereed and accepted   then you always have a little skepticism about them or a little concern  ”  Howell  said . “ I don ’ t think [ this ] paper falls into the ‘ crap ’ category   but it ’ s not yet accepted   so we have to take the results that are in it with a little bit of a grain of salt .” For  Howell    all the talk of possible alien structures seen by Kepler hits oddly close to home .  Howell  recently edited a book of short stories called \" A Kepler ’ s Dozen : Thirteen Stories About Distant Worlds That Really Exist  \" which includes a story eerily like this one . The short tale involves a group of aliens that uses giant   opaque sails to block out the light from their sun in order to send messages to other civilizations . This alien race generates a kind of “ Morse Code ” that other civilizations can interpret by reading the light curve produced by the dips . “ It ’ s really fun because now it ’ s like the science fiction story has come true in a sense  \" Howell said .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elizabeth Tasker ?

Georgian President Doing Camping Outside Ukraine ' s Parliament ? Enlarge this image toggle caption Sergei Chuzavkov / AFP / Getty Images Sergei Chuzavkov / AFP / Getty Images Just what is  Mikhail Saakashvili  doing ? Georgian president   Ukrainian governor   stateless fugitive — in the past decade    he  ' s played all these roles   among others . But now that  he  ' s perched in a tent community near the parliament building in Kiev   an opposition leader surrounded by a huge group of restive followers   the question of who this bombastic politician is and what his aims are has become more pressing than ever . Trouble is   the answer to the question will vary wildly depending on whom you ask . Pose it to Ukrainian authorities and they ' ll tell you he ' s a rabble - rousing criminal . The Security Service of Ukraine has tried twice this week to arrest him on the suspicion he ' s conspiring with pro - Russian figures to undermine President Petro Poroshenko ' s government . The first time   on Tuesday   they had to haul him down from his apartment building ' s roof — only to see him pulled from their police van by his angry supporters . On Wednesday they tried again   and again they failed to bring him in   this time because they were repulsed by tire - tossing members of the protest encampment set up in Mariyinsky Park .  Saakashvili  ' s supporters   for their part   dismiss the authorities ' allegations as trumped - up charges designed to eliminate a significant rival to Poroshenko .  Saakashvili  has cast  himself  as a crusader against government graft   and  he  has accrued a significant following in the process . Neither version of  Saakashvili  — the opportunistic demagogue and the steely political activist — tells the whole story . But dig a little deeper into  his  long   labyrinthine past   and one might find a fair amount of fodder to support both conclusions . A rise and fall in Georgia Swept into power at the head of a peaceful uprising known as the Rose Revolution   the brash young Saakashvili represented an optimistic vision of democratic reform and independence from neighboring Russia ' s influence . A former justice minister   he won the presidency in 2004 — and won plaudits from the West while he was at it . \" Your courage is inspiring democratic reformers and sending a message that echoes across the world  \" President George W . Bush told him on a state visit there in 2005 . \" Freedom will be the future of every nation and every people on Earth .\" Enlarge this image toggle caption Tim Sloan / AFP / Getty Images Tim Sloan / AFP / Getty Images During his time in power   Saakashvili sought to refashion Georgia in the Western capitalist image   opening markets and striving to wean the country off its economic dependence on Russia . \" We ' ve been thrown into the open sea  \" he told Newsweek in 2006 . \" The time has come for us to learn to swim .\" Yet his grand Western dream eroded as his tenure stretched on . A dayslong war with Russia ended disastrously for Georgia in 2008   and by Election Day in 2012 his reputation as a reformer had withered under criticism that he ' d become increasingly authoritarian . He ended up soundly losing that election . Within two years of his electoral loss   the prosecutor ' s office in Georgia had filed charges on Saakashvili and dozens of other former officials   saying he had exceeded his authority as president and engaged in corruption . He called the charges a \" farce  \" according to Reuters   adding that the allegations lodged against him by the new government were simply aimed at \" pleasing Russia .\" He was out of country at the time the charges were filed . He has not been back since to Georgia   which continues to angle for his extradition . About - faces in Ukraine When  Saakashvili  came to Ukraine in 2014   Kiev welcomed  him  warmly as an ally . Massive demonstrations had only recently forced out the country ' s pro - Russian president   Viktor Yanukovych . Newly installed in office   Poroshenko saw in  Saakashvili  a fellow antagonist of the Kremlin   and  he  wasted little time in finding an official function for the Georgian . The president summarily granted  Saakashvili  Ukrainian citizenship in 2015 — a move that meant  he  would have to give up  his  Georgian citizenship   which   given  his  legal woes there   couldn ' t have been a difficult choice . Poroshenko also went one step further   appointing the new citizen to the governorship of the Odessa region . But as Radio Free Europe notes   the job didn ' t exactly go smoothly . Or last long : \" After a stint that included occasionally dramatic acts of political theater   the Ukrainian plan went awry and  Saakashvili  quit in November 2016   publicly accusing Poroshenko of blocking  his  reform efforts .  He  announced the launch of  his  own opposition party   called Movement of New Forces   and began campaigning against  his  former ally .\" Indeed   the disputes grew so acrimonious   a notorious fight even broke out between  Saakashvili  and the country ' s interior minister at a council meeting . Arsen Avakov said that   faced with  Saakashvili  ' s \" hysterical \" behavior   \" I refrained from hitting him   and just threw water in his face .\" It ' s a long time since I ' ve seen such a bonkers populist . \" It ' s a long time since I ' ve seen such a bonkers populist  \" he wrote after the meeting in late 2015   according to The Guardian . \" Nobody could get a word in edgeways   he was interrupting everyone including the president .\" Earlier this year   roughly nine months after his resignation   Poroshenko stripped  Saakashvili  of his citizenship while the latter was on a visit to the U . S .  Saakashvili  had been a Ukrainian for a mere two years . Now   unwelcome by authorities in both the countries  he  has called home   the promising politician who was once the great Western hope for the former Soviet territories is a man without a state . That didn ' t stop  him  from returning to Ukraine   however . In a move reminiscent of the mob action that freed  him  Tuesday   Saakashvili pushed  his  way into Ukraine in September in dramatic fashion . The German newspaper Deutsche Welle described the scene : \" The circumstances were astonishing   even for a country like Ukraine   whose recent history is rich in scurrilous political incidents . Initially   the 49 - year - old former governor of Odessa oblast attempted to enter the country by train   accompanied by a crowd of journalists . The Ukrainian train was stopped in Poland and the politician was requested to disembark .  Saakashvili  then traveled by bus to another border crossing   where  his  well - muscled supporters literally carried  him  over the border . The Ukrainian border guards appeared to be helpless .\" Since then    Saakashvili  has railed tirelessly against  his  old friend in Kiev . Enlarge this image toggle caption Evgeniy Maloletka / AP Evgeniy Maloletka / AP Populist or provocateur ? It ' s unclear where this skein unspools from here . Saakashvili ' s status remains entirely up in the air . Though stateless   he can ' t claim the status of a refugee since Ukraine rejected his petition for political asylum last month — and though he ' s free for now   he ' s a wanted man in both countries where he once held leadership positions . Long known for his opposition to Russia    Saakashvili  nevertheless now stands accused of what Ukraine ' s top prosecutor calls \" the revenge plan of the pro - Kremlin forces in Ukraine .\" \" This part of the ' Russian Spring ' operation in Kiev is related to the cooperation of a series of politicians — first of all    Mikhail Saakashvili  with the members of Yanukovych ' s organized criminal group  \" Yuriy Lutsenko told reporters on Tuesday   playing audio and video footage purporting to show  Saakashvili  arranging payments from a wealthy pro - Russian businessman . These payments   according to Lutsenko   funded \" protest rallies aimed at seizing power in Ukraine and facilitating the members of the organized criminal group .\" But in a Ukraine just years removed from political revolution   law enforcement officers appear reluctant to press the matter   painfully aware of the dangers of making martyrs out of him and his supporters . So   even after multiple attempts at arrests    Saakashvili  remains at large — and remains vocal in denying the charges . \" I appeal to Poroshenko : Why do you need these provocations ?\" he wrote of his erstwhile ally on Facebook   according to a translation by the Ukrainian news service UNIAN . \" Do not attack or force people into fighting back !

One member abstained  citing a possible conflict of interest.\n Navalny   41  who polls show would struggle to beat incumbent Vladimir Putin in the March election  said he would appeal and called on his supporters to boycott the election and campaign against it being held.\n“We knew this could happen  and so we have a straight-forward  clear plan ”  Navalny  said in a pre-recorded video released immediately after the decision.\n Navalny  said  he  would use  his  campaign headquarters across Russia to support the boycott and monitor turnout on voting day  March 18.\nPolls show Putin  65  who has dominated Russia’s political landscape for the last 17 years  is on course to be comfortably re-elected  making  him  eligible to serve another six years until 2024  when  he  turns 72.\n Navalny  says Putin’s support is exaggerated and artificially maintained by a biased state media and an unfair system. He says he could defeat him in a fair election  an assertion Putin’s supporters have said is laughable.\n‘DO  THE RIGHT THING’\nRussian opposition leader Alexei Navalny  speaks to the media after submitting  his  documents to be registered as a presidential candidate at the Central Election Commission in Moscow  Russia December 24  2017. REUTERS/Tatyana Makeyeva\nBefore the commission voted   Navalny   dressed in a dark suit  had demanded  he  be allowed to take part in the election delivering a speech that angered election officials.\nIn one heated exchange   he  said Russian voters’ faith in the system hung in the balance.\n“If you do not allow me to run  you are taking a decision against millions of people who are demanding that  Navalny  take part ”  he  said  referring to  himself  in the first person.\n“You are not robots  you are living  breathing human beings you are an independent body ... for once in your lives  do the right thing ”  he  said.\n His  supporters clapped  him   but officials were unmoved.\nEbzeev said there could not be “the slightest doubt” that  Navalny  was ineligible to run  a reference to Russia’s constitution that bars him running because of his suspended sentence relating to an embezzlement case.\n Navalny  has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing  and says the case is politically motivated.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Washington (CNN)  Secretary of State Rex Tillerson  the stone-faced former oil executive Donald Trump tapped to serve as his global envoy   is increasingly seen by administration officials and diplomats as on  his  way out -- just as flash-points from Iran to North Korea flare.\nThe impression that  Tillerson's  days as Trump's top diplomat are numbered was fueled this week by new reports of acrimony between the two men -- principally  that  Tillerson  had questioned Trump's intelligence to other top officials.\nMore than a dozen sources inside the administration and in diplomatic circles describe the relationship between  Tillerson  and Trump as reaching a new low. The two men have failed to develop the type of close relationship that Trump enjoys with other members of his Cabinet. Radically different in personality  Tillerson and Trump have chafed at each other's perceived slights.\n Tillerson  has told friends  he  intends to remain in  his  post for at least a year  a psychological deadline that would allow  him  -- in  his  own mind -- to depart with dignity. But irritation with  his  boss  paired with frustration at the entrenched ways of Washington  have led  him  to waver at times.\nThere were indications this week that  Tillerson  would remain in  his  job for now  including public displays of support from Trump. A source familiar with the turmoil surrounding Tillerson says there is \"no indication\" the secretary's job is in jeopardy  at least not immediately.\nThis source said  Tillerson  remains focused on  his  job. \"That's where  his  head is \" the source said.\nAt the White House Friday  Trump's press secretary said the President retained confidence in  Tillerson   despite the growing sense in Washington that his days are numbered.\nTrump  however  has expressed frustration that  Tillerson  is stymieing aspects of  his  agenda. Trump grew furious on Wednesday when early morning news reports emerged that  Tillerson  had called him a \"moron\" during a meeting about Afghanistan over the summer. The public airing of the insult deeply angered the President  who vented on Twitter that the story amounted to \"fake news.\"\nMultiple sources told CNN that Trump was aware that  Tillerson  had used the word to describe him before the public report emerged  though it wasn't clear when he first learned of it. Having the information leaked  however  enraged him.\nEarly Wednesday   Tillerson  spoke with Trump's chief of staff John Kelly by phone as the story aired on morning television. Both agreed that  Tillerson  should deliver a statement refuting aspects of the report  which also said he had considered resigning from his post.\n Tillerson  delivered a set of remarks that adamantly denied he'd ever considered leaving the administration  and offered effusive praise for Trump's foreign policy objectives.\n\"There's never been a consideration in my mind to leave \"  Tillerson  said from the State Department Treaty Room.\nBut he did not deny calling Trump a \"moron\" when asked directly. Later  the State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said  Tillerson  told her he'd never used that language to describe the President.\nBut he has continued to bristle amid differences with the White House. Last week  Trump undercut his position on talks with North Korea after  Tillerson  said in Beijing that the US has direct channels of communication with Pyongyang. Trump said on Twitter that  Tillerson  was \"wasting him time.\" Differences also persist between the two men on the Iran nuclear deal  which Trump vowed to scrap as a candidate.\nTrump  according to people familiar with the dynamic  has grown resentful of  Tillerson's  differing stances on those policy issues  believing his secretary of state to be overly dismissive at times.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson ?

Alvin Kamara can do it all . ( Bill Feig / AP ) In the weeks and months leading into the 2017 NFL draft   New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton watched several running backs work out in person . He separated them into tiers   ranking them in order of preference . He inspected a small   jitterbug - quick back from North Carolina A & T   Tarik Cohen   and came away wanting to draft him . Just above Cohen   though   was another back Payton studied in a private workout . When the draft came and rolled into the third round   Payton seized the chance to trade up   into the 67th overall pick   and draft  Alvin Kamara  .  Kamara  has erupted   becoming the most explosive player on one of the league ’ s best teams and the clear favorite for rookie of the year .  He  has rushed for 606 yards   caught 60 passes for another 614 yards and scored 11 total touchdowns . The manner in which  Kamara  plays is instructive   a sign of where NFL offense is headed .  Kamara  is a running back comfortable taking on the duties of a wide receiver .  Kamara  may be the idealized version of a versatile back   but there are more like  him  on the way . The Panthers drafted Christian McCaffrey eighth overall as much for  his  receiving ability as  his  running ability   and they have attempted 90 passes to  him    tying Devin Funchess as Cam Newton ’ s most frequent target . The Chiefs ’ Kareem Hunt   despite slowing after a monstrous start to the year   has caught 39 balls for 347 yards . Dalvin Cook caught five passes for 72 yards in a game before being injured for the season . Cohen   the player Payton bypassed for Kamara   has been a key cog in Chicago ’ s passing game . And that is only a sampling of rookies from this season . While Ezekiel Elliott primarily succeeded by bruising behind the Cowboys ’ stellar offensive line last season   Dallas felt comfortable drafting him fourth overall because of his ability to run every route proficiently — head personnel executive Stephen Jones pointed out that Elliott had played slot receiver as a sophomore in high school . [ NFL players react with alarm and prayers as Steelers ’ Ryan Shazier is carted off ] Kamara leads a wave of young backs who have been developing receiving skills for years . The rise of offseason passing leagues and pass - heavy spread offenses in college have created a new breed of running back . “ Whatever you want to credit that to — seven - on - seven passing academies to just the style of offenses that they run in college   I ’ m not sure — but guys seem to come in even more prepared now than they ever have been  ” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said . “ What they ’ re able to do   I think their versatility is something that you see with so many of these young backs that come in . They can run the ball between the tackles   they can catch the ball out of the backfield   you can split them out and almost treat them as receivers sometimes . Just really talented players .” The traditional plow - horse running back is not extinct — the Jaguars took Leonard Fournette fourth overall and would probably do so again ; he is a battering ram suited for their ball - control offense . But many running backs may be better viewed as skill players . The Steelers ’ Le ’ Veon Bell might be the best running back in football   but he can also line up wide . He caught 75 passes in 12 games last year   and he has another 61 catches already this season . The usage actually led to a contract dispute — Bell held out all of training camp because he wanted to be paid like a receiver . It may not be the last time the issue arises . In the NBA   the Golden State Warriors popularized the concept of positionless basketball   employing five players with skill - sets varied enough to capitalize on any opponent ’ s weakness or mitigate any strength . This NFL season has seen some offenses attempting to play positionless football . The New England Patriots are part of the vanguard . This offseason   they added Rex Burkhead   a powerful runner who had once played slot receiver for the Bengals   in free agency . They combined him with James White and Dion Lewis   and Tom Brady has targeted them a combined 111 times . The Patriots could motion any of White   Lewis or Burkhead out of the backfield   or just line them up as a receiver . The Patriots often employ two on the same play   bedeviling defenses that must decide which personnel to match them with . “ It depends how the defense wants to treat you  ” White said . “ If they want to treat me like a receiver   maybe they ’ ll put a [ defensive back ] on me . If they want to treat me like a running back   maybe they put a linebacker in . It all depends how the defense wants to match up against you . It ’ s really up to the defense .” [ The Seahawks ’ upset of the Eagles shook the entire NFC playoff field ] White has seen more pass attempts than any Patriot after Brandin Cooks and Rob Gronkowski . In the Super Bowl last year   he caught 14 passes for 110 yards . Now in his fourth season   White came out of a run - heavy system at Wisconsin   but he said he played wide receiver in Pop Warner and other leagues growing up . Once in the NFL   he felt comfortable being used a variety of ways . “ More college teams started doing that   splitting the back out wide  ” White said . “ It translates in the NFL .” The tide is not stopping . Saquan Barkley caught 47 passes for 594 yards this season at Penn State   and he will certainly be the first running back taken next April   likely among the top five picks . Coaches will be scouring workouts as Payton did last season   looking for the next Kamara . Those kind of running backs are out there   and they are taking over the NFL . >>> The Giants upended their franchise Monday by firing Ben McAdoo and GM Jerry Reese   who presided over two Super Bowl rosters   in the midst of a 2 - 10 debacle   Mark Maske reports .

(Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)\nHigh-level target:  Allen Robinson  Jaguars \n Robinson  looked well on  his  way to becoming one of the top receivers in the NFL after  his  first three seasons  but this last season was cut short during the first game after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The injury will likely cause teams to hesitate before giving  him  a big contract  but assuming  his  recovery is on track   he ’s the best free agent receiver available.  He ’s become a well-rounded threat with the potential to win deep or turn short passes into big gains with  his  run-after-catch ability.\nOn this play from 2016   Robinson  runs a deep in-breaking route against off-coverage.\n Robinson  angles  his  routes outside initially  to sell a vertical route to the corner. As  he  reaches the top of  his  route   he  manages to get the corner to open  his  hips to the sideline  creating lots of separation as  Robinson  cuts inside.  Robinson  makes the catch and then shows  his  ability to create after the catch  eluding defenders on  his  way to a nearly 40-yard gain.\nOne of  Robinson ’s best traits is  his  body control when adjusting to the flight of the ball.  He  makes a number of spectacular catches to pull in back-shoulder throws or correct inaccurate passes.\nHere   Robinson  is isolated to the left of the formation.  He  runs a simple go route  but quarterback Blake Bortles throws to  his  back-shoulder.  Robinson  does an excellent job not only getting  his  head around and locating the throw  but turning  his  body around completely to make an incredible one-handed grab.\n Robinson   if healthy  has the ability to be a true number one receiver for whichever team  he  signs for.

But that’s all anyone seems to know about the the white jewel box on the Potomac.\n“We really like to think about the other 364 days of the year  and all of the programming that happens on those days ”  Rutter  told me in the latest episode of “Cape Up.” “What I love about being here at the nation’s cultural center is that we have really a mandate to welcome all of the performing arts. It is not just a performing arts center for one assumed art form or another.”\nI bet you didn’t know that hip hop was one of those art forms at the Kennedy Center and that Q-Tip is its artistic director. “This is a first ”  Rutter  said. “And as far as I know  there is no other artistic director for hip-hop … anywhere in probably the world. And we’re very proud to have Q-Tip here leading  guiding and inspiring us.”\nWhile she didn’t need much convincing   Rutter  allowed that there could be others who might — for fear of what it could mean for the other arts. “Just because we are bringing in more programming that includes hip-hop artists  it does not mean that we’re doing less dance or less international programming or less of the National Symphony Orchestra ” she said. “It just means that we’re doing more  that we have thrown open the doors of the Kennedy Center  and we are ensuring that all are welcome here.”\n Deborah Rutter   president of the John F.

Ever since early 2016 , when the Republican Party began to fussily resettle itself behind Donald Trump , Mitt Romney has been an intermittent oppositional figure , distinct from his party in both point of view and style . \nThe conservative movement has grown smirking , clannish , quarrelsome ; Romney has been formal , chiding , and pained . \nAfter Trump won the election , that November , Romney met with Trump in the hope of securing for himself the position of Secretary of State . \nYet this summer , after a white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville turned deadly , Romney professed deeper anxieties . \nFor half a century , Romney and his family have existed close to the center of the Republican Party . \nNow -- just six years removed from being his party 's Presidential nominee , but with no distinct Romneyist camp in Washington and no obvious constituency to summon -- it is n't obvious that Romney fits in at all . \nLast week , the Utah senator Orrin Hatch announced that he would be retiring at the end of his term this year , and immediately Romney 's allies suggested that he would run for the seat ; the common wisdom was that his election would be all but assured . \n-LRB- Romney , a man of many residences , built his political career in Massachusetts , but he went to college in Utah , and helped to save the Salt Lake City Olympics from ruin in 2002 ; he is the most recognizable Mormon in the world , and he would be running in a state whose Republican Party is defined by its relationship to the L.D.S.

The Washington Post this morning piggybacks off a FOIA investigation by the AP ( nice job !) about why “ getting into prestigious Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology   a magnet school that routinely sends graduates to the most competitive colleges  ” can be extremely difficult   unless of course you can afford to file appeals   “ armed with private exams costing more than $ 500   to persuade bureaucrats their child is deserving ” of admission to the top regional school nicknamed “ TJ .” The problem ? ( bolding added by me for emphasis ) … This system exacerbates a problem plaguing gifted - and - talented programs across the nation : Black and Hispanic students almost never file the appeals that can secure their admission . Using the Virginia Freedom of Information Act to obtain 10 years of county records   The Associated Press found that fewer than 50 black and Hispanic second - graders have filed successful appeals . That ’ s less than 3 percent of the 1   737 second - graders admitted through the appeals process   further skewing a program already heavily weighted toward whites and Asians . Fairfax County has the nation ’ s 10th largest public school system   with more than 188   000 students . Of those   25 percent are Hispanic and 10 percent are African - American . But over the last 10 years   blacks and Hispanics have constituted only 12 percent of the students deemed eligible for Level IV   the most advanced academic program . There are just a few dozen black students at Thomas Jefferson   where sophomore  Alina Ampeh  is surrounded by whites and Asians — a situation  she  ’ s lived with since elementary school .  She  ’ s grateful that all those years of advanced classes prepared  her  for TJ ’ s rigorous academics   but says that doesn ’ t necessarily make  her  special :  She  thinks many of  her  classmates simply have parents who worked the system . So yeah   this situation is unacceptable and in dire need of immediate correction . But not according to commenters on the Washington Post article   who respond with a torrent of racist idiocy that   among other things   clearly violates the Post ’ s own “ standards ” for commenting . For instance   check out the top - rated (!) comments like the following   all of which are racist and / or ignorant and / or just plain nasty . “ Just a shot in the dark – People from either 1 ) a non - English speaking background   or 2 ) a culture where achievement and effort is equated with being a “ sellout ” or an “ Oreo cookie ”  will probably always be “ underrepresented ” in any gifted program .” “ Racial bias ? Blacks and Hispanics are underrepresented in gifted programs in northern Virginia   and in fact   nation - wide   because   on average   they are not as academically - inclined / interested as white or Asian students . And no amount of public monies spent on special racially - targeted programs just for them is going to materially impact that fact . Of course   until the percentage of Blacks and Hispanics in gifted programs matches their percentage of the total student body the SJWs at the WAPO will continue to dissemble and lie about the reasons for the disparity because that ’ s what they do .” “ Could it be that some culture are underrepresented because they lack sufficient households that emphasize a strict and intense work ethic ?” “ Any chance they aren ’ t as gifted as other students ? Nah   it couldn ’ t be that .” “ Probably for the same reasons whites and asians are underrepresented in the NBA .” It goes on and on like this   with no sign of a ( Com ) Post moderator in sight to enforce the “ standards ” of Jeff Bezos ’ fine newspaper . Just for comparison purposes   racist comments would be immediately deleted here at Blue Virginia and the commenters banned . Of course   then again   we also follow other principles of journalistic ethics – like linking to original sources   giving credit / attribution   etc . – that the corporate media rarely seems to care about in its race for eyeballs / clicks / etc .

Scott Surovell ( D - Fairfax / Prince William County ) has been a leader on this issue ( thank you ! )  for instance with his SB787 that would have required – if it hadn ’ t been defeated in committee – Thomas Jefferson H .

Surovell had to say about the WaPo article on “ TJ ” this morning . Last week   5 letters to the editor attacking my TJ admissions bill arguing that TJ is all about “ merit ” and that we just need to do a better job educating Black and Latino kids : Most of the time Merit = Wealth and having the time and ability to work your child to the right spot in the system – e . g . parents working the “ gifted and talented ” appeal process for their second graders as the AP just confirmed .

The public schools in gentrifying neighborhoods seem on the cusp of becoming truly diverse  as historically underserved neighborhoods fill up with younger  whiter families. But the schools remain stubbornly segregated. Nikole Hannah-Jones has chronicled this phenomenon around the country  and seen it firsthand in her neighborhood in Brooklyn. “White communities want neighborhood schools if their neighborhood school is white ” she says. “If their neighborhood school is black  they want choice.” Charter schools and magnet schools spring up in place of neighborhood schools  where white students can be in the majority. “We have a system where white people control the outcomes  and the outcome that most white Americans want is segregation ” she says. In a recent episode of The Atlantic Interview  Nikole Hannah-Jones and The Atlantic’s editor in chief  Jeffrey Goldberg  discuss how integrated schools are good for white children and black children.\n“If one were to believe that having people who are different from you makes you smarter  that you engage in a higher level of thinking  that you solve problems better  there are higher-level ways that integration is good for white folks ” Jones says. For black children  the benefits of attending an integrated school are much more drastic. “It’s literally  will you receive a quality education or not? Will you be a full citizen in the country of your birth?” In a hyper-competitive economy where test scores and college admissions and lifetimes earnings are all linked  Hannah-Jones has seen that the soft benefits of integration  like empathy or compassion  are low on a family’s priority list. “Most white people are willing to trade that ” she has found. An edited transcript of their conversation is below.  Jeffrey Goldberg : You and I have both had these conversations with my colleague Ta-Nehisi Coates about the arc of history and which way it bends. I’ve adopted the viewpoint of Barack Obama  that history is an arrow and the moral arc of the universe is long but it bends toward justice. And Ta-Nehisi says that there really is no moral arc  but if there were it would just bend toward chaos. Are you in the camp of people who say that long-term optimism is premature?\nNikole Hannah-Jones: I think it has not a lot of basis in historical fact. I would say the arc is actually a circle. It just perpetually turns back on itself.  Goldberg : But let’s use African-Americans as an example. Life has gotten better  no? Before there was before there was Brown v. Board of Education  there was no Brown v. Board of Education. Before there was a Civil Rights Act  there was no Civil Rights Act. We don’t live in a period of history free of lynchings  but the number of lynchings has gone down. There are more African-Americans in the middle class since Reconstruction. Life in America for African-Americans has gotten better. It’s been stutter stepped  but we ain’t in 1866 or 1873. Hannah-Jones: I am not a slave. That's true.  Goldberg : Well … All right. Hannah-Jones: If that’s the bar.  Goldberg : No  no  no. Hannah-Jones: None of us would argue that there hasn’t been progress in a range of things. I guess I get almost offended by people who want us to pause and be congratulatory about forward progress.  Goldberg : I just want it known for the record that I'm offending you already. And we haven’t even started. Hannah-Jones: I mean  in a country that has set itself apart as a beacon of democracy  the fact that we’re applauding that black folks now have had  for 40 years  full citizenship rights in the country of their birth  in the country of their grandparents’ birth  in the country their great grandparents’ birth—it's just hard to feel a lot of optimism.\n Goldberg : I’m not arguing for applauding. Obviously there is a long road to go. I’m just saying that there is a direction to things. Hannah-Jones: Well  there’s forward progress and then we move back. We’re clearly right now moving back. So yes  we get the Voting Rights Act and now we get the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. We see a wave of voter suppression. We get Brown v. Board of Education and now black children are more segregated than they’ve been since the 1970s. We never made any real progress on housing segregation outside of the South and the West even though we outlawed housing discrimination in 1968. The wealth gap for black and white Americans is the largest that it’s been since we started really recording this in the 1970s. There are more black men incarcerated than were black men enslaved during slavery. There are more black men killed by police than there were black men lynched in a year.  Goldberg : Okay fine. You win. Hannah-Jones: For small numbers of us  there’s a lot of progress. And for large numbers of us  I think the progress can be very hard. It’s still really bad.  Goldberg : I’m not disagreeing with your analysis on any of those. It just seemed two years ago that we were moving in the right direction. Hannah-Jones: And then what happened?  Goldberg : Well  a reaction. I want you to analyze the root of these continuing dilemmas. Is at the bottom what we’re talking about a lack of understanding on the part of white America about the actual lived lives of African-Americans? I mean  Germany grappled with what it did in a way that America’s never grappled with what it did. As Ta-Nehisi—who can always out-pessimism me—once said  Germany’s easy because Germany killed all the people it hated.\nHannah-Jones: I would say we’re not grappling what this country is about. Period. Not for African Americans.  Goldberg : You’re not one of these people who says  “This is not who we are.” Hannah-Jones: No  this is clearly who we are. I write about race from the year 1619. The English landed at Jamestown is 1607. Twelve years later  we have imported Africans to be enslaved and determined that they will be a wholly different caste of people with no legal rights in this country. That’s one hundred and forty years before we declare independence and decide that we want to be a country. This is embedded in the DNA of this country. I mean  Ta-Nehisi’s claim to fame is “The Case For Reparations ” which says we’ve never even repaired the damage that we’ve done and we only grudgingly even give legal rights—on paper—to this group of people.  Goldberg : It is amazing that we are talking about Robert E. Lee and voter suppression as issues in 2017. Hannah-Jones: I mean tell me another country where a group of people break off from a country  try to fight that country  and lose  and those people are glorified and defended by the highest office in the land.  Goldberg : So the South won in one key cognitive way—in a narrative way? Hannah-Jones: Yes  of course. What we were fighting in the South was a national sin. We want to pretend it was a Southern sin  but it was a national sin. We can’t grapple with the South unless we grapple with ourselves.\n Goldberg : Two issues preoccupy you: housing segregation and education segregation. They’re linked  obviously. To get to a place where there’s actual equality in housing and actual equality in educational opportunities for African-Americans  what has to happen? It’s not just a legislative process. Hannah-Jones: It is not. Though  equal rights for black Americans has always had to be legislated. It’s never been willingly given. What it would take  if we’re honest  is a fundamental restructuring of society. Our public schools are not broken  but are operating as designed. Our public schools were set up to provide unequal  inadequate education for black children. So that’s what they do.  Goldberg : But aren’t the public schools just a downstream problem of housing segregation policies? Hannah-Jones: No. They are clearly linked  but whether you have integrated communities or segregated communities  we have school segregation. In communities that are gentrifying  the gentrification stops at the schoolhouse door. White communities want neighborhood schools if their neighborhood school is white. If their neighborhood school is black  they want choice. Housing segregation just becomes a convenient excuse. The problem—and I never use the phrase “white supremacy” because it’s a word that people automatically discount as soon as you use it  but that is the problem. We have a system where white people control the outcomes. And the outcome that most white Americans want is segregation. And I don’t mean the type of segregation that we saw in 1955. I don't mean complete segregation. I don't think there are very many white Americans who want entirely white schools. What they do want is a limited number of black kids in their schools.\n Goldberg : What do you call “curated diversity.” Hannah-Jones: I never talk about school inequality in terms of “diversity” because I think it’s a useless word. I think it’s a word that white people love. When I say “curated diversity ” it means white parents like a type of diversity so they’ll still be the majority and there won’t be too many black kids. White Americans  in general  are willing to accept about the ratio of black Americans at large: 10 to 15 percent.  Goldberg : But you get into the 20s... Hannah-Jones: When you get into the 20s  white folks start to exaggerate how large the percentage is. So in New York City  one of the most segregated school systems in the country  if you’re a white parent in the public schools  you don’t want all-white schools.  Goldberg : Because you’re a liberal? Hannah-Jones: Yeah. But what you want is a majority-white school with a small number of black kids and a good number of Latino  a good number of Asian. That makes you feel very good about yourself because you feel like your child is getting this beautiful integrated experience. The problem is that the public schools in New York City are 70 percent black and Latino. So  for you to have your beautiful diversity  that means that most black and Latino kids get absolutely none. The tolerance for increasing particularly the percentage of black kids is very low  and even lower if those black kids are poor. No white parents in New York City mind having my kid in their school because they feel like I’m on their level. But if you get too many of kids like mine who are black but poor  there’s very little tolerance.\n Goldberg : Do most white parents in New York City achieve curated diversity for their children? Hannah-Jones: Yes.  Goldberg : They’re winning that? Hannah-Jones: Oh  definitely.  Goldberg : And it’s the black and Latino kids who are not winning because there’s not enough whites in that sense to go around? Hannah-Jones: There would be. I hear this all the time: “You can’t integrate schools in York City because there’s not enough white kids.” But that's only based on the premise that you can’t expect white kids to be in the minority. The demographics of the New York City public schools are about 40 percent Latino  almost 30 percent black  15 percent Asian  15 percent white. If you picture a classroom like that  that's a beautiful school. That’s a beautifully diverse  integrated school. You could have that if you chose. We just don’t choose it  because we automatically say  “You can’t expect that a white parent will put their kid in school with all those black kids.”  Goldberg : If you were the dictator of America  would you outlaw private schools? Would you force all the white kids  and all the upper-middle class and upper-class African-American kids  into the public-school system? You’d have a deep level of parental involvement  right? Are private schools immoral in this context? Hannah-Jones: Interestingly  right after Brown there was consideration of whether or not Brown had to apply to private schools  or whether we should get rid of private schools in the United States altogether  understanding that the way to subvert Brown is to simply withdraw from public schools. Which is what happened all across the South—rather than share a public good with black folks  state legislatures decided to shut down public schools altogether and pay vouchers for white students to go to private segregation academies. We think it sounds absolutely crazy to consider ending private schools  but that was a consideration.\nThe answer to your question is yes  you would have to. If you truly wanted to equalize and integrate schools  you would have to. But you can go a step shorter than that. New York City public schools are majority black and Latino. But you can go to any of the suburbs around  and they’re very heavily white. So in New York and all across the North  you could simply move into an all-white community and go to all-white public schools. And that’s how you avoided desegregation. In the South  most school districts were countywide. So you either paid for private school or you dealt with desegregation. In the North  you didn’t have to do that. The key difference between the North and the South is for the vast majority of the history of this country  90 percent of all black people lived in the South. The South responds with Jim Crow  by passing laws that restrict the movement of black people. The North doesn’t have to do that. It has a very tiny black population. It’s only once black people start migrating out of the South in the 1900s that the North shows its true ugly racist head.  Goldberg : You’ve described something that I actually experienced as a kid in the 70s. I was in a school system growing up that was about 60 percent black  35 white—the local system right outside New York City. Very unusual. My experience going from kindergarten through 12th grade in that situation was fairly tension-free. People actually got along. There was mixing  there was interracial dating…\nHannah-Jones: Your first crush was a black girl?  Goldberg : No  we’re not even going there. Hannah-Jones: OK.  Goldberg : But  yes. And the second and the third. Hannah-Jones: Why are you turning red right now?  Goldberg : Because I’m interviewing you and you’re not interviewing me. But yes. My high-school sweetheart for many years was an African-American woman who’s a very delightful person. It was an atmosphere where that could happen without consequence. Granted  a lot of the people from the white parts of town went to Catholic parochial schools. If the school district actually took in all of the kids who lived within the boundaries  it probably would have been 30 percent black. For the whites who went  it was a fairly beneficial experience. I can look back on that and say it was better for my intellectual  moral  civic development—my emotional development—to do that. That  you argue  is disappearing slowly as an experience for whites and blacks. The country is resegregating. Talk a little bit about the benefits for whites of integration. Hannah-Jones: I think this is where you struggle trying to convince white people they should do this. There’s a clear imbalance for black kids. It’s literally  will you receive a quality education or not? That is what integration means for black kids. Will you be able to transcend poverty? Will you be a full citizen in the country of your birth?  Goldberg : Hitching a ride to the white majority…\nHannah-Jones: Hitching a ride to the white majority  with the understanding that in a country built on racial caste  they get an inordinate amount of the resources. Things that are acceptable for black children are never acceptable for white children. So if you want what white children get  you have to be where white children are. White kids don’t need black kids in the same way. Segregation does benefit white families. That is why the whole institution of segregation comes about.  Goldberg : How does it benefit white families  though  in a practical way? Hannah-Jones: In a practical way  because you get to hoard resources. You get the best of everything. Even in a community where the schools pretty much suck  if there’s a school with black kids  it’s going to suck worse.  Goldberg : I would disagree with the whole premise. Hannah-Jones: Would you?  Goldberg : Well  going to the second half. The benefits of integration for whites I think outweigh whatever resource hoarding you could do. Hannah-Jones: It’s soft benefits versus hard benefits. The soft benefits of integration  which I think are also very important—it’s just a much harder argument. White people understand that they’re fighting to get into white schools for a reason. It is a benefit. They’re going to get the best teachers. They’re going to get the best instruction. They’re going to get the best curriculum.  Goldberg : With the assumption that it’s a zero-sum game.\nHannah-Jones: With the assumption that there are good teachers and bad teachers.  Goldberg : And that the bad teachers are going to be... Hannah-Jones: ...overwhelmingly put into our schools. Yes. Nothing about the American experiment tells us that we value black kids the same. We just don’t. I wrote about school resegregation in Tuscaloosa for The Atlantic. They created an all-black high school and an integrated high school. They promised the all-black high school it would have the same courses  and they just don’t do it. There was actually no reason not to do it. The white parents who wanted the integrated school didn’t give a damn what courses you offered in the black school. They weren’t fighting against giving those kids physics. They just didn’t care. In the end  they were poor black kids and they didn’t have that much value and no one thought they were going to go to college anyway. Now  if one were to believe—which I believe—that having people who are different from you makes you smarter  that you engage in a higher level of thinking—and there’s been research that shows that—that you solve problems better  there are all these higher-level ways that integration is good for white folks.  Goldberg : The richness of the human experience. Hannah-Jones: Right. My daughter is in a high-poverty school. We’re clearly not poor. I think it makes her a better human being. I think she gets to see that these kids aren’t any less than her. They just have less than her. But those are all hard soft-arguments to make to people who fundamentally view education as  how my kid will rise to the top above every other kid and get into Harvard. They don’t actually give a damn about their kid being a better person.\n Goldberg : You talk about “hard” benefits and “soft” benefits. I don't think they are that soft. Hannah-Jones: Most white people are willing to trade that. There is an explicit racial fear that black kids are more dangerous  that if they put their kids in these schools  their kids are going to be exposed to violence  they’re going to be exposed to bad culture. There’s no longer the belief that black people are racially inferior but that black culture is inferior.  Goldberg : They don’t say it in such a blunt way  do they? Hannah-Jones: They said it in a blunt way. In my daughter’s school  when white parents who lived next door to my daughter’s school would come and tour  they would tell the principal  “We'll bring our kids  but only if our kids are in classroom by themselves and you keep them together through fifth grade.”  Goldberg : You mean  a white class. Hannah-Jones: Yes. This is what is being demanded.  Goldberg : And this is in “progressive” Brooklyn. Hannah-Jones: This is Brooklyn. Hipster Brooklyn. There is this intrinsic racial fear that cannot be mitigated by facts. That’s the thing that is really embedded in all of us—the belief that black children are not as smart. There are exceptional black children  right? “Of course  I know little Johnny is smart  but he’s not like the rest of the black kids that are culturally depraved. That bad culture is going to rub off. We need to protect our kids from large numbers of these kids.” I've had parents tell me  “The middle-class black parents at the school are fine.”\n Goldberg : What’s so interesting here is that you're not talking about stereotypical Trump voters in Alabama. You're talking about hipster Brooklyn. Liberals kind of piss you off? Hannah-Jones: I am only writing and speaking to liberals at this point. I'm trying to get people who say they believe in equality and integration but act in ways that maintain inequality and segregation to live their own values. The most segregated parts of the country are all in the progressive North. If you could just get white liberals to live their values  you could have a significant amount of integration.  Goldberg : You know what group of people who would be really uncomfortable listening to  you  talk? The heads of progressive private schools in New York City  Boston  Washington. Hannah-Jones: But here’s the thing. We’re in a capitalist country and if you can pay for something  then so be it. What I’m dealing with are public schools which are publicly funded for the public good. Every child should walk into a public school and get the same education. Those are the parents that I’m speaking to. What we are finding are parents who say they believe in a common good but they want a public school that operates like a private school—you can screen out the kids you don’t want  you can hoard resources in the school  you can hoard all the best teachers  you can determine what curriculum you’re going to get. And if that means that two miles down the road  another publicly-funded school doesn’t get any of that  then so be it. That  to me  is the height of hypocrisy.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nicholas Schuler ? Some schools used “cherry-picking” to favor certain students  according to a district audit analyzed by  Inspector General Nicholas Schuler’s office . Nonselective schools improperly used academic benchmarks such as test scores and grades to evaluate prospective students   Schuler’s office  said  and some schools “specifically weeded out kids with histories of poor attendance.”\nA principal with a rare tuition-based prekindergarten program described an “unwritten agreement” with former CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett that allowed the school to admit pre-K students from outside the neighborhood into kindergarten.

Doctors didn ’ t recommend it . The people who witnessed it were appalled   understandably . I don ’ t suggest this for others . I could have been more patient with conventional methods   but I wasn ’ t . I am not certified in restraining children   though doctors say anyone attempting what I did should be . They would also recommend a much slower approach . I am writing this because I hope to educate people about the burden families face when their autistic children have tantrums in public spaces   so next time you witness such a struggle you don ’ t immediately resort to blaming the parents . I ’ m also reaching out to fellow parents in pain to remind them to cast off shame   because I believe nothing is more important than getting your autistic children out into the world . It was a desperate time . Nothing else had worked for Zack — flashcards   photos   play therapy . gradual exposure to feared indoor spaces . That is how   very much against his will   I ended up physically dragging Zack into Verizon Center ( now Capital One Arena ) one day 10 years ago to see his favorite character   Elmo   perform as part of a “ Sesame Street Live !” show . There is nothing anyone could have said that would have convinced me my son was anything other than precious and worthy of the extreme measures I intended to take to save him from a life entrapped by autistic phobias . My mind - set that day : If I can get him through this without either of us getting physically hurt   his fear of this place will be behind him for good . He will reset his association with this arena   and it will no longer be frightening . I believe this deeply   but getting him over the hurdle is terrifying . [‘ I have this thing called autism ’: A boy ’ s eloquent message to his fourth - grade classmates ] We enter Verizon Center   and the moment the exterior door closes behind us    Zack  reels back and plunges toward it   trying frantically to get back outside . At 50 pounds    his  furious strength is a troubling match for mine .  He  is a thoroughbred of resistance . My usually buoyant child is slamming  his  fists and clawing at the metal door ’ s push bar . I quickly seize  him  by the shoulders and pry  his  fingers from the bar as  he  jerks  his  head back in a sudden motion .  His  skull smashes into my chin   and I taste the metallic taint of my own blood . I give up trying to pry  his  fingers away   wrap both arms tightly around  his  torso and yank  him  back fiercely . We both tumble to the floor .  Zack  momentarily escapes my grip and scrambles back toward the door   but I leap on top of  him    pinning  his  entire body flat to the ground . We are still in the vestibule . This was a mistake   too ambitious   I think to myself . Everything is happening too quickly . Breathlessly   I pivot myself to secure Zack ’ s entire body between my thighs as I clamp down tightly and interlock my feet to prevent him from breaking free . Zack is shrieking at an alarmingly high pitch   but I keep heaving and dragging us both   inch by dreadful inch   closer to the show ’ s main entrance area   which we are separated from by a red curtain . I can hear voices around us . Your kid obviously doesn ’ t want to go to the show !” An icy shock sprints down my back   and I reflexively arch and look around wildly . Someone has just thrown their soda at me . No   I ’ m not giving up . Suddenly   I feel an imaginary cloak descend and slowly envelop me . These are the moments I ’ ve been dreading   but also building toward   and I don this invisible armor   now impervious to ridicule because I don ’ t care what anyone thinks . My singular focus is getting  Zack  where  he  needs to be : inside the main area   looking at Elmo . The show has already begun inside   and I know Elmo is on the stage . Okay   get in his head now   talk back to his thoughts . “  Zack    you are doing it ! I know you ’ re afraid   but all you have to do is stay here   you ’ re already doing it   you ’ ve already won . Just stay and watch   sit and watch   that ’ s it . You ’ re doing it . You did it !” A simple and repetitive mantra to penetrate the panic and break through the force field . In a now recovered and controlled voice   I loudly announce   “ My son has autism and he ’ s terrified . I ’ m working with him to get his fears under control .” A manager strides toward us   summoned to calm the explosive scene . “ Miss   I ’ m afraid this is too disruptive to the other patrons to let this continue   you ’ ll have to leave .” No response . “ Miss   you are creating a public disturbance   and I need to escort you and your child out of the auditorium right now .” “ No  ” I respond calmly without looking up . “ I ’ m not going anywhere . I ’ m a paying customer too   and I have a right to be here   and so does my autistic son .” Suddenly   from the far reaches of my mind   the legal jargon jettisons to the surface . What was that ADA language about the right of disabled people to access public facilities ? That they have a right not be discriminated against because of their disability   a right to reasonable accommodations to access public venues . My son is not legally required to enter the auditorium quietly . He ’ s allowed to enter on his own disabled terms . I am his reasonable accommodation .  Zack  will ride in on me . Okay   one more push forward with  Zack  squeezed between my legs   and that curtain that separates the hallway where we are and the seated auditorium is within arm ’ s reach . Once the curtain is pulled back    he  will see all the children in their seats   and  he  will see Elmo on the stage . But I am on the floor and I can ’ t reach the curtain . I quickly gesture with my hand to the woman guarding the entrance to please pull back that curtain so my son can finally see inside and glimpse the purpose behind the long   bitter altercation . I need her to act quickly . She tries a few times to reach my son with chirpy words that fall on deaf ears . “ LADY   he ’ s got AUTISM   please just pull back the curtain !” I hiss . She wordlessly pulls back the plush red velvet in a single swoop to reveal a bright - red   singing caricature on a large stage   clearly visible even from our long distance . I quickly point  Zack  in  his  direction and exclaim   “ There ’ s ELMO ! Look    Zack    it ’ s Elmo !” Zack ’ s eyes catch hold of Elmo   and suddenly he ’ s too stunned to scream or speak   his hysteria abruptly interrupted by the sight of a familiar friend . Transfixed by the furry creature    Zack  sits still and stares intently . I quickly move to slide  him  further along the floor   closer to the cushioned seats . The rigidness in Zack ’ s body gives way as  he  relaxes   a literal crossover to the other side .  Zack  is as smooth and malleable as liquid as  he  sits upright   almost unaware of  his  own physical existence and wholly locked in on Elmo . I calmly walk  him  to  his  seat . The past and future are of no consequence ; for  him    there is only the present . As I gaze around the auditorium    Zack  is indistinguishable from  his  peers . In these precious moments I can savor the reality that  Zack  has succeeded in the greatest challenge of  his  life — overriding  his  intense phobia of indoor spaces — long enough to access something beloved . It took 36 minutes and 45 seconds . And   yes   it was worth it . [‘ I ’ m more awesomer ’: How kids with facial differences are reacting to the movie ‘ Wonder ’] It was the first in a series of exposures to crowded public places for  Zack  and me .  His  transition at the Verizon Center allowed  him  to enjoy the Elmo show   and also return repeatedly to that auditorium without fear   because  he  replaced  his  previous negative association with a positive one . For  Zack    the gradual exposure approach was not effective . What worked for  him  was a single   traumatic episode in which  he  could grasp the purpose of the exposure and feel good about it . I spoke with  his  doctor afterward   and  he  confirmed that by refusing to allow Zack to escape the place  he  feared   I broke the pattern of negative reinforcement and allowed  him  to “ reset the record .” I also learned that   as a last resort   in a controlled way and only after years of therapy   a licensed behavioral clinician might have physically restrained  Zack  to force  him  to confront  his  fears   had  he  not responded to more gradual methods . In the past   when I ’ d retreated home with  him  during a tantrum   I was unintentionally reinforcing  his  phobia . But the doctor made it clear to  me  he would not recommend this method for any child unless all other methods had been exhausted   and the child was able to handle it without causing harm to himself or others . For us   the Elmo success paved the way for outings to other indoor places he feared — Disney World   movie theaters   airplanes   the Baltimore Aquarium . Each exposure required less time for him to acclimate . We found that while  Zack  was initially confused and frightened    he  always adjusted . Over time    he  became less fearful of all indoor places .  He  also gained self - esteem once  he  realized  he  was conquering  his  fears and accessing more of the world . And in possibly  his  biggest win    his  overall demeanor became as calm and predictable as  his  perception of life itself . Ellenby is a lawyer   writer and mother based in Montgomery County .

The US - Mexican relationship has been strained by Trump ’ s attacks on Mexican immigrants and the North American Free Trade Agreement — and his insistence on building a border wall . But as  Tillerson  kicked off  his  first major tour of Latin America    he  and  his  Mexican counterpart sought to play down any tensions   focusing instead on fighting what the former oilman turned secretary of state called the “ devastating impact ” of the international narcotics trade . “ We ’ ve created … a different approach as to how we cooperate to attack the entire supply chain of this devastating impact of drugs — cocaine   heroin   fentanyl   opioids  ” Tillerson said after meeting with Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray and Canada ’ s Chrystia Freeland in Mexico City . “ This is having a horrible effect on American citizens   Mexican citizens   Canadian citizens .” In October   Trump declared the US opioid crisis a national public health emergency   after overdoses of drugs such as heroin and fentanyl killed more than 40   000 people in 2016 . Videgaray said all three countries had agreed to place “ special emphasis ” on fighting both the supply and demand side of the problem : the Mexican drug cartels fueling a wave of bloodshed in his country   and the US and Canadian consumption making it a multi - billion - dollar business . “ The paradigm has to be one of cooperation   not blaming each other  ” he said . – Videgaray also insisted the US - Mexican relationship is strong   despite Trump ’ s tirades . “ In many ways the relationship today is more close   it ’ s more fluid   than it was with the previous administration . That might be a surprise for many people   but it ’ s a fact  ” he said . Freeland likewise played down tensions   despite a recent series of trade disputes between the US and Canada . She said Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “ really get along ” and called Tillerson “ an incredibly important voice in maintaining the rules - based international order .” But it was impossible to paper over tensions on certain issues . Videgaray stayed mum as Tillerson sought to explain Trump ’ s wall proposal and immigration crackdown as part of a shared security push . Deporting those who lack immigration papers — including the so - called “ Dreamers ” brought to the United States as children   now at the center of a bitter political battle — fits into Trump ’ s law and order agenda   Tillerson said . “ I know it ’ s painful   the process is for a lot of people   and that ’ s why as we move forward and in implementing the president ’ s directives   we are trying to do so in a way that accommodates the fact that it ’ s hard for some people  ” he said .

But how   then   to ensure that the Council ’ s decision reflects their own national interest ? “ It plays out on a personal level . Without trust   we ’ d get nowhere  ” a diplomat told AFP   speaking on condition of anonymity to explain the process . Within the past week   for example   the world body united to back an unlikely ceasefire in Syria ’ s endless war   but failed to agree on censuring Iran . The United States wanted to single out Tehran for its alleged interference in the Yemen conflict   but Russia stepped in and headed off the initiative . In each case   the battle lines were almost the same   with America and its allies opposing Russian and Iranian interventions in two regional wars . So why was the diplomatic outcome different ? “ In any negotiation   the key is personal relationships  ” the diplomat explained . Whatever the stark differences between the public positions of the rival member states   in the UN building diplomats work together every day . Cautious friendships and friendly rivalries develop — along with occasional feuds — and personal power plays can decide matters of state . “ In private   relationships are less tragic than they seem in public  ” another diplomat admits .  Washington ’ s ambassador   former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley    is the only politician in a council staffed by veteran career diplomats . Last year   she pulled off an impressive diplomatic coup when she brought China and Russia on board multiple times to secure unanimous support for North Korea sanctions . But on Monday    Haley  delegated the US seat to a colleague and was in Honduras when Russia moved in to halt efforts to condemn Iran . Sometimes   a consensus is found through a savvy manipulation of procedure . Last year   China balked at a resolution to condemn its neighbor Myanmar   but allowed the chairman of the Security Council to issue a declaration or PRST . In theory a PRST ought to be no easier to agree upon than a resolution   since any one of 15 council members can object to elements of the text . But diplomats had suggested the resolution first before falling back on the PRST   allowing China to appear to have won a concession . As a diplomat recalled   it ’ s important to allow an opponent and option to “ save face .” In long negotiations on fraught subjects   like the slaughter in Syria   the winning side is often the one that keeps its cool longest . – Constant dialogue – “ You need to respect the other side when it reveals the red lines it will not cross  ” one negotiator told AFP   while another said : “ It ’ s hard on the nerves .” However the talks go before a vote   most ambassadors check with their national capitals before assenting   abstaining or imposing a veto .  Haley  has the most personal freedom to maneuver   being a member of President Donald Trump ’ s administration with cabinet rank . But  she  is also one of the more inexperienced envoys in a building that hosts constant dialogue   in corridors   conference rooms and text messages . Murmured conversations continue in the carpeted lobbies outside the Security Council chamber and even in the “ Quiet Room ” waiting area . One conference room is set aside for the veto - wielding Permanent Five : Britain   China   France   Russia and the United States . Another hosts the ten non - permanent members . When a new issue comes up for discussion   national experts meet to size up the diplomatic terrain . Then it is either the job of the “ coordinators ” from each mission to draw up the terms of the debate ; otherwise   the ambassadors or their deputies take the reins . Specific roles are handed out . One country on a rolling basis is president of the council   but each issue also has an influential “ penholder .” All members will eventually vote on each resolution   but the draft is drawn up by the penholder . So for the war in Syria   Kuwait and Sweden have taken the lead . For texts dealing with Yemen or Myanmar   Britain has an outsized role . – Pivotal role – Sometimes   if consensus proves elusive   a country can switch or augment its role . In recent discussions about Syria   for example   France has become a “ facilitator ” and China has been invited to small group meetings . Haley   who had been on a trip to Chicago   did not take part in the discussions until the last minute   diplomats say . Russian ambassador Vassily Nebenzia   meanwhile   told AFP he had thanked France ’ s Francois Delattre by text message for taking a pivotal role in the ceasefire . Finally   theatrical gestures sometimes pay off . On February 22   all 10 ambassadors from non - permanent members appeared together in front of the press to exhibit their joint concern at Russia ’ s stalling . Two days later   the world was wondering whether Russia would agree to the Syrian truce . UN television cameras suddenly jumped to Haley and Delattre arriving together   apparently complicit   in the Security Council chamber . “ We were within inches of failure  ” a diplomat said   adding it was a “ rare gesture ” to tempt fate and put pressure on Russia to vote . The other members assembled and voted .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nikki Haley ?

IKEA Founder   Ingvar Kamprad   Dies At 91\n Ingvar Kamprad  the man who created IKEA   leaves behind a professional legacy that's all about simplicity: sleek  affordable  Scandinavian-designed furniture with wordless assembly instructions.\n His  personal legacy  however  is more complicated: from a reputation for strict frugality to flirtations with fascism.\n Kamprad  died Saturday at the age of 91 at  his  home in Smaland in southern Sweden  with  his  loved ones by  his  side  according to a statement from IKEA.  The company  says  he  had faced a \"short illness.\"\n\" His  legacy will be admired for many years to come and  his  vision – to create a better everyday life for the many people – will continue to guide and inspire us \" says Jesper Brodin  the CEO and president of the IKEA Group.\n The company Kamprad  founded at 17 grew into a multinational behemoth  with nearly 400 stores worldwide  almost a billion store visits per year and more than $36 billion in annual retail sales in Europe alone.\nThough  the company  — which never went public — was and remains secretive about  its  finances   it  did reveal  its  balance sheet for the 2009 fiscal year. NPR's Jacob Goldstein reported the upshot of the financial disclosure in 2010:\n\" The company  is sitting on a huge pile of cash  and managed to grow throughout the economic turbulence of the past few years. \"In  its  2009 fiscal year  Ikea made $3.5 billion in profits on $30.2 billion in revenues. And the company was holding $19.7 billlion in cash at the end of that year. (Ikea reported results in euros; I converted the figures to dollars at the current exchange rate.)\"\n Kamprad  was born March 30  1926 and — despite struggles with dyslexia — exhibited an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age  selling matchboxes as a small child.  He  quickly realized  he  could buy them dirt cheap in bulk and then sell them for a low price while still earning a profit.  He  later moved on to selling fish  Christmas decorations and pens.  He  ran advertisements in local papers and also distributed a \"makeshift mail-order catalog \" as the Associated Press reports.\nAt the age of 17   he  formed IKEA  an acronym built from  his  own initials and those of  his  family farm (Elmtaryd) and the local parish (Agunnaryd).\nIn 1950   he  added furniture sourced from local manufacturers to  his  catalogs and  when it became evident that it was  his  most popular product  it became  his  sole focus.\n Kamprad 's lightbulb moment arrived in the 1950s when  he  saw an employee removing the legs from a table to help a customers transport it.  He  pioneered flat-pack furniture that would fit snugly inside its box  saving space and money. What's more  the costs of assembly would be eliminated by letting consumers build their own furniture.\n Kamprad  prioritized an image of austerity for  himself  and  his  company  even though Bloomberg Billionaires Index calculated  his  wealth at $58.7 billion and ranked  him  the eighth wealthiest man in the world. In a book  he  wrote about IKEA's history   he  wrote that  he  often perused local vegetable markets just before they rolled up shop for the night  always on the hunt for a better deal.  He  reportedly drove a modest Volvo  flew economy class (and made  his  executives do the same)  ate cheap meals and stayed in budget hotels.  He  spent many years living in Switzerland to avoid Sweden's steep taxes  a decision that rankled some in  his  home country.\nThrift was one of the virtues  he  laid out in a manifesto  he  published in the 1970's titled  \"The Testament of a Furniture Dealer.\"\nReporters later found that  his  reputation for penny-pinching was not entirely accurate  however  as the New York Times reports:\n\" His  home was a villa overlooking Lake Geneva  and  he  had an estate in Sweden and vineyards in Provence.  He  drove a Porsche as well as the Volvo.

Lula   Brazil’s first working-class leader  so far remains free pending future appeals.\n Lula   72  could now be ineligible to stand for election under Brazil’s “Ficha Limpa” or “Clean Record” law  which bans political candidates whose convictions have been upheld by an appellate court.\n Lula ’s exclusion from the October election would radically alter the political landscape ahead of a campaign in which  he  is the early favorite  with 36 percent of voter preferences according to pollster Datafolha. That is double the percentage of  his  nearest rival  the far-right congressman and former army captain Jair Bolsonaro  who has been energized by anti-Lula sentiment.\nBut  Lula  still has options. An electoral court must make the final ruling on a candidacy  and would only do so once a candidate had registered.\n Lula  can appeal Wednesday’s decision by the appeals court in Porto Alegre to Brazil’s top appeals court or to the Supreme Court to delay a final ruling  possibly avoiding jail and stringing the process out long enough to register  his  candidacy by the Aug. 15 deadline.\nAt a nighttime rally in a central Sao Paulo plaza   Lula  stood atop a sound truck and rallied supporters  blasting the ruling as a “lie”  and strongly maintained  his  innocence.\n Lula  said that if the three judges could “show me the crime I committed  I would give up trying to be a candidate.”\n“I want the judges to know that I am not worried like they think I should be ”  Lula  said. “They cannot jail ideas or hope.”\nOpponents of  Lula   meanwhile  celebrated on Sao Paulo’s main avenue with a giant blown-up figure of the ex-president dressed as a prison convict.\n Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva  speaks at the metallurgical trade union while the Brazilian court decides on  his  appeal against a corruption conviction that could bar  him  from running in the 2018 presidential race  in Sao Bernardo do Campo  Brazil January 24  2018.

It focuses on graft involving oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro  known as Petrobras   and other state-run companies.\n Lula  was convicted of corruption and money laundering last year for accepting a beachside apartment from an engineering firm vying for contracts with Petrobras.\nProsecutors said the apartment and its refurbishing was a bribe worth 3.7 million reais ($1.1 million).

Dean Heller (R-NV) even more than the pro-amnesty anti-Trump incumbent is hurting alread   on Thursday tweeted an attack against  Bannon :\nHere’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\nIn a comment to The Hill newspaper  Holmes falsely alleged  Bannon  is a “white supremacist.”\n“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.”\nMatt 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 .\n“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.”\nZOA 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 .\n He  then quotes Dershowitz  a liberal Harvard professor  who says it is not “legitimate” or accurate to make such accusations against  Bannon .\n“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 .”\nKlein 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].”\nThe release from ZOA continues by quoting more people backing up  Bannon :\nThe 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.”\nThe 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:\n 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.\nIt 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.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon ? There are many things that have been said about  Steve Bannon  in the past  many things I myself have defended. From  him  being accused of being the second coming of Goebbels  to  well…  him  being accused of being the second coming of Goebbels. But one thing that can’t be disputed — and I can never defend about who  Steve Bannon  is  or was — is that  he  is a dirty rat.\nImagine you work at the “New Breitbart.” Think about every conversation you have had with your “tough guy” boss — every intimate feeling  or thought  that might have been shared. Now imagine you rise to influence that exceeds Bannon’s and he needs to tear you down. You ask yourself  “Am I next?” The President wasn’t safe  the President’s children weren’t safe  do you think will be? According to President Trump’s son  “ Bannon  used  his  privilege & turned that opportunity into a nightmare of backstabbing  harassing  leaking  lying & undermining…” Goebbels? More like Henry Hill and Sammy the Bull. The only “egg that has cracked” is your boss and he wasn’t even testifying (can you imagine if he was)?\nYou at the “New Breitbart” fell for it  your readers fell for it  I fell for it  and yes  the President fell for it. Everything the “New Breitbart” has become is everything you espouse to hate — guilt coming before innocence  gleefully naming and castigating all who have been named in the “Me Too” scandal  and relentlessly demanding the deportation of close to 12 million people. Do you really think  Mr. Bannon  will be driving that bus? Or  rather  throwing  his  employees under it?  He  may dress like Indiana Jones  but  he ’s played many like Jim Jones. Yes  many on the Left have a broken moral compass  but many of you at the “New Breitbart” have also veered off the sacred trail.\nAnger  booze  jealousy  insecurity… who knows which influences  Bannon  most  and more importantly  who cares. But  what was gained by your boss’s actions? And  yes   he  is your boss  your leader  your Hanoi Jane. Everything  Steve Bannon  hates   he  is  and hatred often has the audacity to be contagious. To quote Andrew Breitbart  “The army of the emboldened and gleefully ill-informed is growing.” Maybe  “New Breitbart ” this is your come to Breitbart moment  or just stay the course  and be part of that “army.”\nThere is no doubt “New Breitbart” and  Mr. Bannon  were influential in helping the President get elected  but that loyalty was  and has  been reciprocated. Even after you have unmercifully mocked his daughter and son-in-law using the “Javanka” moniker  the President showed a  relatively speaking  amazing restraint of tweet and tongue. But then  Bannon  had to go all “Fredo ” forcing the President to go all “Don.”\nThe difference between the President and  Mr. Bannon  is that  Mr. Bannon  is an arsonist  while the President is a builder. You  the employees of the “New Breitbart ” and whatever chemtrail supporters  Mr. Bannon  has left  must decide whether to build or destroy. That is now your new question. Destruction without building is just so… Leftist. No   Mr. Bannon   to be sure  you are no Joseph Goebbels  but you are also no Andrew Breitbart.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon Steve ?

The nature of the inquiry is unclear  but the probe is focused on Ballou High School  where allegations were first raised about diplomas wrongly awarded to chronically truant students.

The Washington Post this morning piggybacks off a FOIA investigation by the AP ( nice job !) about why “ getting into prestigious Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology   a magnet school that routinely sends graduates to the most competitive colleges  ” can be extremely difficult   unless of course you can afford to file appeals   “ armed with private exams costing more than $ 500   to persuade bureaucrats their child is deserving ” of admission to the top regional school nicknamed “ TJ .” The problem ? ( bolding added by me for emphasis ) … This system exacerbates a problem plaguing gifted - and - talented programs across the nation : Black and Hispanic students almost never file the appeals that can secure their admission . Using the Virginia Freedom of Information Act to obtain 10 years of county records   The Associated Press found that fewer than 50 black and Hispanic second - graders have filed successful appeals . That ’ s less than 3 percent of the 1   737 second - graders admitted through the appeals process   further skewing a program already heavily weighted toward whites and Asians . Fairfax County has the nation ’ s 10th largest public school system   with more than 188   000 students . Of those   25 percent are Hispanic and 10 percent are African - American . But over the last 10 years   blacks and Hispanics have constituted only 12 percent of the students deemed eligible for Level IV   the most advanced academic program . There are just a few dozen black students at Thomas Jefferson   where sophomore  Alina Ampeh  is surrounded by whites and Asians — a situation  she  ’ s lived with since elementary school .  She  ’ s grateful that all those years of advanced classes prepared  her  for TJ ’ s rigorous academics   but says that doesn ’ t necessarily make  her  special :  She  thinks many of  her  classmates simply have parents who worked the system . So yeah   this situation is unacceptable and in dire need of immediate correction . But not according to commenters on the Washington Post article   who respond with a torrent of racist idiocy that   among other things   clearly violates the Post ’ s own “ standards ” for commenting . For instance   check out the top - rated (!) comments like the following   all of which are racist and / or ignorant and / or just plain nasty . “ Just a shot in the dark – People from either 1 ) a non - English speaking background   or 2 ) a culture where achievement and effort is equated with being a “ sellout ” or an “ Oreo cookie ”  will probably always be “ underrepresented ” in any gifted program .” “ Racial bias ? Blacks and Hispanics are underrepresented in gifted programs in northern Virginia   and in fact   nation - wide   because   on average   they are not as academically - inclined / interested as white or Asian students . And no amount of public monies spent on special racially - targeted programs just for them is going to materially impact that fact . Of course   until the percentage of Blacks and Hispanics in gifted programs matches their percentage of the total student body the SJWs at the WAPO will continue to dissemble and lie about the reasons for the disparity because that ’ s what they do .” “ Could it be that some culture are underrepresented because they lack sufficient households that emphasize a strict and intense work ethic ?” “ Any chance they aren ’ t as gifted as other students ? Nah   it couldn ’ t be that .” “ Probably for the same reasons whites and asians are underrepresented in the NBA .” It goes on and on like this   with no sign of a ( Com ) Post moderator in sight to enforce the “ standards ” of Jeff Bezos ’ fine newspaper . Just for comparison purposes   racist comments would be immediately deleted here at Blue Virginia and the commenters banned .

Surovell had to say about the WaPo article on “ TJ ” this morning . Last week   5 letters to the editor attacking my TJ admissions bill arguing that TJ is all about “ merit ” and that we just need to do a better job educating Black and Latino kids : Most of the time Merit = Wealth and having the time and ability to work your child to the right spot in the system – e . g . parents working the “ gifted and talented ” appeal process for their second graders as the AP just confirmed .

She  gave birth to  her  daughter  Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.  on Sept. 1  and then spent six weeks in bed because of serious complications from childbirth.  She  did not resume practicing until December.\n Williams  officially returned to professional tennis on Feb. 11 by playing a Fed Cup doubles match with  her  sister Venus against the Netherlands. They were beaten  6-2  6-3  by Lesley Kerkhove and Demi Schuurs after the United States had already clinched the victory in the first-round matchup.\n Williams  looked rusty at that event  as  she  did in an exhibition against Jelena Ostapenko in late December.  Williams  also played in the Tie Break Tens exhibition at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.\nAfter more than a year away from the tour   Williams  has no official ranking. If  she  defeats the 53rd-ranked Diyas   she  would face No. 29 seed Kiki Bertens in the second round  with  her  sister Venus a possible third-round opponent.\nIn an interview with WTATennis.com   Williams ’s coach  Patrick Mouratoglou  said: “The plan is to get back to  her  best level.  She  has been practicing hard for that  and competition is part of the process.  She  needs more than anything to compete and that is why  she  will plan to play Indian Wells and Miami.\n“We do not know how much time  she  will need to get  her  best level back  and I think that we should give  her  the necessary time for that without having too much expectations at the start.”\nHe added that  her  target was to win Grand Slam titles and that he expected Williams to be back to  her  best by the French Open in May.\nThe Indian Wells tournament also marks the return of Victoria Azarenka.  She  has not played a tour event since Wimbledon last July.  She  has decided not to play outside of California  where  she  lives  until a custody dispute over  her  son  Leo  is resolved.

President Donald Trump claimed that  Hillary Clinton  “lied many times to the FBI and nothing happened to  her .” In fact  the FBI director told Congress that there was “no basis to conclude  she  lied to the FBI.”\nTrump also left the false impression that the FBI deviated from its standard practice by not putting  Clinton  under oath when  she  was interviewed last year about  her  email use while secretary of state. He claimed it was “the most incredible thing anyone has ever seen.” It’s not incredible or even unusual.\nTrump  Dec. 4: I will say this:  Hillary Clinton  lied many times to the FBI and nothing happened to  her . Flynn lied and they destroyed his life. I think it’s a shame.  Hillary Clinton   on the Fourth of July weekend  went to the FBI  not under oath — it was the most incredible thing anyone has ever seen.  She  lied many times. Nothing happened to  her . Flynn lied  and it’s like they ruined his life. It’s very unfair.\nTrump is referring to the FBI’s three-hour-plus interview with  Clinton  on July 2  2016  near the end of the agency’s investigation into whether  she  or  her  staff mishandled classified information. The investigation stemmed from  Clinton ’s decision to exclusively use a private email account and personal server when conducting official government business.\nThree days after the FBI interviewed  Clinton   then-FBI Director James Comey announced that he would not recommend filing charges against  Clinton . He said that  she  and  her  staff were “extremely careless” in handling classified information  but the FBI did not find evidence that their actions were intentional.\nThe FBI also did not find that  Clinton  lied to the FBI  contrary to Trump’s claim.\nAfter announcing the outcome of the FBI investigation  Comey testified on July 7  2016  before the House oversight committee about his decision not to recommend pressing charges. Chairman Jason Chaffetz specifically asked Comey if  Clinton  lied.\nChaffetz  July 7  2016: Did  Hillary Clinton  lie? Comey: To the FBI? We have no basis to conclude  she  lied to the FBI. Chaffetz: Did  she  lie to the public? Comey: That’s a question I’m not qualified to answer. I can speak about what  she  said to the FBI.\nRepublicans have long maintained that  Clinton  “lied” to the public about  her  email use. And we have certainly written numerous stories about how  Clinton  provided the public with false and misleading information about  her  email use.\nThat’s what happened in  Clinton ’s case. On Sept. 2  2016  the FBI released a summary of  Clinton ’s statements to the FBI.\nAs for  Clinton   the FBI had “no basis to conclude  she  lied to the FBI ” as Comey said.

John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.)  arrived  there were no waving signs.  They  were there to kick off the push for universal health care  with legislation queued up for September  and no expectation that the Republican-controlled Congress would pass it.\n“Every major country in the world   they ’ve already got it ” said Conyers.\n“More and more people agree with us ” said  Sanders .\nAs Washington prepares for a month of spending deadlines  and as Republicans and business groups try to shift the conversation to tax reform   Sanders  is trying to drive a discussion about single-payer health care — a debate that  he  admits would last for years before any legislative action.\nThe campaign will put the Senate’s only democratic socialist in a unique position. Republicans have already begun attacking Democrats over “government-run health care ” daring them to endorse  Sanders ’s plan. On the left  activists inspired by  Sanders ’s 2016 presidential bid intend to browbeat Democrats who don’t back  Sanders ’s and Conyers’s legislation.\n[Centrist Democrats begin pushing back against  Bernie Sanders   liberal wing]\nIn an interview after  his  three-state Midwestern tour   Sanders  said  he  was formulating an “inside/outside strategy ” attracting as much support as possible from  his  colleagues while expecting most of them to recoil. It would be up to activists to make single-payer politically possible for the holdouts.\nIn the meantime  as the chair of the Senate Democrats’ political outreach   he  would continue to support colleagues in tough races  even if they rejected  his  bill.\nRepublicans  looking hungrily at a 2018 Senate map where 10 incumbent Democrats will compete in states won by Trump  were hoping for a litmus test. But in just two states  West Virginia and North Dakota  are incumbents being challenged by progressives in primaries. Neither challenger is being backed by  Sanders .\nStill  as  Sanders  wove through Indiana  Ohio and Michigan  local conservatives mocked those states’ Democratic senators  even those who didn’t appear with  Sanders .\nWhen  Sanders  stumped in Ohio’s Scioto County  one of the places that had seen a tight presidential race in 2012 but delivered a landslide for Donald Trump in 2016  Ohio Republican Party chair Jane Timken pointed out that Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) had frequently supported the idea of single-payer health care. (Brown did not appear at the event  though former governor Ted Strickland sat in the front row.)\n“The only place Bernie Sanders’ socialist sales pitch will be welcomed today is in Senator Sherrod Brown’s office ” said Timken in a statement. “Scioto County voters rejected socialized health care and the job destroying economic policies of Sanders and Brown last year by overwhelmingly electing President Trump.”\n“People are saying ‘the ACA did some good things  and the Republicans wanted to throw 22 million people off of it ’”  Sanders  said. “That’s an absurd idea to most people.”\nBut single-payer was not going to start with clear partisan support.  Sanders  intends to release a single-payer bill in the Senate  a companion to Conyers’s House Resolution 676  in the weeks after Labor Day.\n[In a swing district  a Democrat runs on (eventual) single-payer health care] \nSanders  does not expect a majority of  his  Senate colleagues to endorse it  as a majority of House Democrats had in backing Conyers’s bill. And  he  admits it would take work  perhaps years of it  to reframe single-payer health care as an aggregate cost-saver  instead of an expensive entitlement in any debate.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Our sad national trajectory has been on display recently with  two oddly connected stories: Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore and the tax bill .  They  share a common thread in President Trump  but  their  significance goes beyond the president. Trump surely helped fuel the end of shame  but just as surely we were already on that degraded path.\nNo one who has watched  Moore  expected that reports of how  he  allegedly preyed on young girls would provoke shame from the egocentric  already discredited judge.  Moore  has long proved — with  his  flagrant disregard for constitutional values   his  homophobia and racism — that  he  is impervious to such feelings.\nThe open question involved  Moore ’s true-believing supporters and political allies of convenience: At long last  had they any decency? For some  including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and most of his colleagues  the answer has been a welcome yes. Others  most prominently Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) and  inevitably  Trump  have failed what should have been an easy test. To conclude that electing an accused child molester to the Senate is preferable to seating a Democrat is the epitome of shamelessness.\nAnd the president  for whom shamelessness has proven a potent tactic  pronounced himself persuaded by  Moore ’s similarly blatant approach: “He totally denies it.” But the more instructive moment came with Trump’s very first public words on the  Moore  reports: “I can tell you one thing for sure. We don’t need a liberal person in there  a Democrat.” Morality is a luxury with a 52-vote Senate majority. Shame is a millstone  or would be if Trump were capable of it.\nWhat is truly stunning is Mulvaney’s brazen willingness to admit that the price tag is phony — specifically the notion that individual tax cuts will expire. Mulvaney  making the rounds of the Sunday shows  felt no need to dissemble. “One of the ways to game the system is to make things expire . . . a lot of this is a gimmick ” he told NBC. And  on CNN  “It’s simply trying to essentially manipulate the numbers and game the system.” In other words  we’re lying to you to ram this through    and we’re not even going to bother to hide  it .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Moore ? (CNN) This Tuesday  the GOP faces a defining moment. With Donald Trump in the White House and the possibility of  Roy Moore  in the Senate  the nation is watching closely to see whether the GOP is becoming the party of the GOB -- the good old boys.\nWhile some Senate elections are just about the politics of a state   Moore 's victory would leave a huge imprint on the way that voters perceive the Republican Party for years to come. It could easily affect the 2018 and 2020 elections.\nHe has no respect for the separation between church and state.  Moore  was removed as chief justice when  he  refused to dismantle the Ten Commandments monument  he  had installed in the Alabama Judicial Building. Like President Trump   he  was one of the birthers who falsely claimed that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States  and thus his presidency was illegitimate.\nIn 2006   Moore  responded to the election of Keith Ellison  the first Muslim-American elected to Congress  by stating that Ellison shouldn't be able to take his seat.\nDuring his campaign   Moore  has referred to Native Americans and Asian-Americans as \"reds and yellows.\" And when an African-American at a rally asked when America was \"great \"  Moore  responded : \"I think it was great at the time when families were united -- even though we had slavery -- they cared for one another. ... Our families were strong  our country had a direction.\"\n Moore  even said that 9/11 might have happened because Americans were not religious enough; God was unhappy that \"we legitimize sodomy\" and \"legitimize abortion.\"\nWith Trump as President and  Moore  as a senator  Democrats would have a strong case to make about the GOP jumping deep into the world of identity politics: defining itself through one caricature version of the identity of the white  male  non-college educated voter.\nIt will become harder for members of the GOP to argue that the party is best suited to lead a nation that has become more pluralistic  more diverse and culturally liberal than ever before. If the Republicans want any moral high ground on cultural questions  it will be much more difficult to claim it with  Moore  as one of the faces of the party.\nAnd it looks as though  Moore  is very much in the race despite everything that we have learned. Democratic competitor Doug Jones has only a slim lead over  Moore .\nWhy is it that  Moore  might pull this off? Why would the Republican Party be taking this kind of risk? It is easy to blame Jones for running a lackluster campaign  but  in fact  he has offered the kind of candidacy and campaign that political analysts have been calling for. He is a white male  a centrist concerned about a strong middle-class economy  a gun-toting Democrat  and at the same time someone with impeccable credentials on civil rights -- as a US attorney  he successfully prosecuted Ku Klux Klan members for a church bombing in 1963.\nJUST WATCHED How will Alabama vote in  Moore  vs. Jones race? Replay More Videos ... MUST WATCH How will Alabama vote in  Moore  vs. Jones race? 04:44\nThough many prominent Republicans have denounced  Moore 's candidacy -- Sen. Jeff Flake even sent a check to the Jones campaign -- key parts of the Republican Party have fallen behind him. This is essential to why victory is possible. Most importantly  President Trump has now endorsed  Moore  . \"Go get 'em  Roy!\" he reportedly said at the end of their phone conversation on Monday morning.\nTrump  who said he would not campaign for  Moore   held a rally in Florida -- less than 30 miles from the Alabama border -- on Friday. \"The future of the country cannot afford to lose a seat in the very  very close United States Senate \" Trump said during the rally. \"We need somebody in that Senate seat who will vote for our Make America Great Again agenda. So get out and vote for  Roy Moore .\"\nLast Monday  the Republican National Committee rejoined Moore's campaign to move  him  toward victory after cutting ties with  him  because of the sexual assault accusations. Stephen Bannon  the executive chairman of Breitbart News  who now must be considered a power broker in the party as a result of his work on Trump's campaign and in his administration  has aggressively campaigned for  Moore  as one of his \"anti-establishment\" candidates.\nThe fact is that large portions of the Republican leadership are now comfortable with someone like  Moore  standing within their tent. It is fallacious to paint  him  as an outsider  since this campaign proves that the Republican Party has changed and there is sufficient room for these kinds of extremist elements to be welcomed into its ranks.\nIt is not surprising that the  Moore  campaign continues to remind voters  in its advertisements  about  Moore 's strong opposition to abortion -- a key issue for conservatives. The appeal to voters is that all his \"peccadillos \" as they seem to dismiss them as being  are forgivable if they allow Republicans to retain the seat. As Ron Brownstein has perceptively argued  a  Moore  victory would come down to  his  retaining the support of white women who have no college education and who will hold their noses and vote for  Moore  despite  his  record with women.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Moore ?

Tanner Roark  will take the mound with the Nationals facing elimination in Game 4. (Jeff Roberson/AP)\nCHICAGO —  Tanner Roark  was born and raised in Wilmington  Ill.  which is southwest of Chicago  which means  he  grew up closer to Comiskey Park than to Wrigley Field. But geography didn’t impact baseball team allegiances in the  Roark  household.  He  grew up a die-hard Cubs fan like  his  mother and siblings  diverging from  his  father’s loyalty to the White Sox and the Cardinals.\n“Growing up  yeah  there was always some trash-talking in the house between us and my dad ”  Roark  said.\nOn Tuesday  barring rain   Roark  will find himself on the mound at Wrigley Field  the ballpark he visited countless times as a fan  to face the Cubs. It won’t be his first start there; he has four on his résumé and appeared in another game out of the bullpen. But none of the previous outings carried the same weight Tuesday’s will place on Roark’s right arm: Game 4 of the National League Division Series with his Nationals facing elimination.\n“It’s pretty surreal to pitch in Wrigley  and just the history that they have here and everything ”  Roark  said. “It’s very exciting  and I’m anxious to get out there.”\n Roark  hasn’t pitched since the Nationals’ regular season finale on Oct. 1  when  he  allowed two runs in an inning of relief against the Pirates  and  he  hasn’t started a game since Sept. 27.  He  lasted 4 2/3 innings that day  surrendering six runs on seven hits to the Phillies. But  Roark  was significantly better before the poor finish;  he  had posted a 3.39 ERA in 57 innings over  his  previous nine starts to rebound from an inconsistent four months after  his  stint with Team USA at the World Baseball Classic made for an unusual spring training.\n“ Tanner  didn’t have many innings coming out of spring training  and that kind of got  him  behind the eight-ball  so to speak  because you know   he  didn’t have the innings ” Nationals Manager Dusty Baker said. “ He  was with the WBC and  he  didn’t pitch very much. And so things get in your head when you’re used to getting guys out and all of a sudden you’re not getting them out. So it’s a new season now for Tanner  brand-new season  and this is what people are going to remember you by.”\n“ Tanner   you know  is a guy that you would like on your side if you’re in an alley and you’re in a fight  because you know  Tanner    he  has that warrior mentality ” Baker said. “ He  doesn’t make any excuses or alibis.  He  just goes out and pitches  and  this guy  has not had an easy road  you know  from the beginning to get here. We feel very comfortable with  Tanner  on the mound because you know  he ’s going to fight tooth and nail and do everything  he  can to win the ballgame for you.”\n Roark  recalled 300 people from Wilmington congregated in a section in right center field for  his  Wrigley Field debut in 2013.  He  doesn’t expect that again Tuesday.  He  hasn’t been hounded for tickets. Five relatives   his  wife  and their two children will be in attendance to watch  his  biggest game of  his  career.\n“They are good about getting their own tickets ”  Roark  said  laughing. “Which is very good on  me . It’s a lot less stress that I have to worry about.”", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Trea Turner ? Trea Turner is 0 for 12 through three playoff games. (Stacy Revere/Getty Images)\nCHICAGO — Dusty Baker had a long talk with  Trea Turner  Tuesday morning before Game 4 of the National League Division Series between the Nationals and Cubs was rained out. The conversation with his struggling 24-year-old shortstop veered into a history lesson. Baker told him of the time Orlando Cepeda  then the MVP  struggled in the playoffs. He recalled Dave Winfield  another Hall of Famer  once had a terrible World Series. He told him of his personal struggles  of the time he hurt his hand in a fight before the 1981 World Series  couldn’t swing a bat  and played anyway.\n Turner  isn’t a Hall of Famer or even an all-star yet  but Baker’s impetus for a chat is clear:  Turner  is the Nationals’ energizer bunny and  his  struggles are crippling their offense. The Nationals hoped  Turner ’s speed would disrupt the Cubs  who have a couple of pitchers notorious for their inability to control the running game. But  Turner  hasn’t reached base in the playoffs yet. Through three NLDS games   he ’s 0 for 12 with five strikeouts  including one with the bases loaded in Game 2. As  Turner  has said  you can’t steal first base.  His  game-changing speed has been wasted.\n“I haven’t been nervous for a pitch this series ”  Turner  said. “I’m focusing on ways to contribute to the team. Play some defense. If I can get on base  that’d be great  but I haven’t so I got to focus on other things and focus on my teammates  be a good teammate and hopefully we can turn this thing around.”\nAfter Game 3 Monday   Turner  said  he ’s made small adjustments “here and there” at the plate in the series to break through and put  his  speed to use.  He  nearly did in  his  final at-bat in the eighth inning Monday  but Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist made a diving stop on a groundball 79 mph off Turner’s bat.\n“Things still gotta go your way  ’ Turner  said. “You still gotta find holes. Even if you hit the ball hard  you got to find the holes. Things aren’t going my way.”\nIf the lineup Baker unveiled for Game 4 Tuesday before it was postponed is any indication   Turner  will have another chance atop the lineup again Wednesday against Jake Arrieta  who couldn’t contain  Turner  when  they  clashed in June in Washington.  Turner  singled in  his  first plate appearance and walked in  his  second against Arrieta. Each time  he  promptly stole second and third base for four steals in three innings. Arrieta would allow six runs (five earned) and walk six batters in just four innings.\nAfter the game  Cubs catcher Miguel Montero criticized Arrieta  whose delivery makes him susceptible to base stealers  for his inability to neutralize  Turner  on the base paths. Arrieta agreed with Montero’s assessment  but Montero was designated for assignment anyway. So Montero won’t catch Wednesday. It’ll be Willson Contreras  who boasts one of the strongest arms behind the plate in baseball and picked  Turner  off first base in the first game of that four-game series back in June.\nBut base runners  Baker always says  steal bases off pitchers  not catchers.  Turner  could wreak havoc again and spark a Nationals offense hitting .121 through three games and on the brink of elimination.  He  just needs to get on base first.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joe Maddon ? Manager Joe Maddon  knows the Cubs' challenge is simple  regardless of whether they are facing Tanner Roark  Stephen Strasburg or Clayton Kershaw.\n\"(The Nationals) have spectacular pitching  but our guys have matched them inning after inning \"  Maddon  said. \"That's how we have won. Their pitching has been great.

It comes down to that. Our starting pitching has permitted us to be in this position.\"\n Maddon  said  he  didn't consider bumping Arrieta  who hasn't pitched since Sept. 26 because of a nagging right hamstring injury  in favor of Game 1 victor Kyle Hendricks.\nUnlike the two wild-card games and the three other division series  the Cubs and Nationals have received exceptional starting pitching that reminded  Maddon  of postseason play in the 1960s and '70s.\n\"It has been interesting to watch \"  Maddon  said. \"The runs being scored against some really good pitching. I don't know the reason. There is no good reason.\n Maddon  was extremely pleased that  his  players stayed busy leading up to the postponement that came about 40 minutes after the scheduled starting time and that no one came to  his  office asking for updates.\nNor did  Maddon  convey  his  players were consumed with speculation over whether Strasburg would take Roark's spot.\n\"There's nothing you can do to control any of these events  so why even waste one second worrying about it \"  Maddon  said.\nIn any case   Maddon  said  he 's sure the Cubs will be ready for the Dodgers if they advance.\n\"Whoever wins this series  we'll be ready for that moment \"  Maddon  said. \"Neither one will be concerned about that.

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered tightened restrictions on former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert  including barring  him  from possessing pornography  using sex chat lines or having any contact with minors except in the presence of an adult who is aware of  his  sexual abuse of boys decades ago.\nAlthough the reasons for the tightened restrictions were not spelled out   Hastert  has been undergoing a court-ordered sex offender evaluation — including any \"psychological and physiological\" testing deemed necessary — to expose any undisclosed wrongdoing and gauge whether  he 's a danger to society.\nUnder the new terms of  his  release  Hastert  75  was ordered not to possess any “pornographic  sexually oriented  or sexually stimulating materials  including visual  auditory  telephonic  or electronic media  computer programs  or services ” and also was barred from patronizing any businesses where such material was available. Any “sex-related telephone numbers” were also off-limits  according to the order.\nA spokesman for U.S. Attorney John Lausch had no comment Tuesday.  Hastert ’s attorney  Thomas Green  could not be reached  but the judge’s order indicated that  Hastert  agreed to the new conditions.\nIn Tuesday’s order  Durkin said  Hastert  must get approval from the probation department before accessing any device with internet access  including email.  He  must also consent — at  his  cost — to software being installed on  his  computers that monitors all keystrokes and chat conversations.\n Hastert  pleaded guilty in October 2015 to one count of illegally structuring $950 000 in bank withdrawals to avoid reporting requirements.  He  admitted in a plea deal with prosecutors that  he  was making the withdrawals to pay a longtime acquaintance — identified in court records only as Individual A — to hide wrongdoing from  his  past.\nThe case began to unfold four years ago after a Yorkville bank noticed the suspicious withdrawals. After  he  was told by bank officials that any withdrawals of $10 000 or more had to be reported to regulators   Hastert  began to withdraw cash in $9 000 increments. In all   he  took out $1.7 million over 4½ years  paying Individual A in increments of up to $100 000 in meetings at a Yorkville restaurant parking lot  prosecutors said.\nIn December 2014  FBI agents confronted  Hastert  about the withdrawals.  He  told them  he  was trying to keep  his  money safe  but shortly after that meeting  an attorney representing  Hastert  called authorities to say the former speaker was a victim of an extortion plot and would cooperate in the investigation.\nAgents ultimately determined  however  that  Hastert  had been paying Individual A  a former Yorkville wrestler  to keep  him  silent about sexual abuse decades earlier.\nIn all  five former students came forward to accuse  Hastert .\nTribune reporters learned the identity of Individual A in early 2016.  He  has repeatedly declined to comment  but  his  wife acknowledged her husband is a victim.  He  has since sued  Hastert  in a Kendall County breach-of-contract lawsuit seeking the remaining $1.8 million — plus accrued interest — that  he  argues  Hastert  still owes  him .

LONDON (AP) — A British judge is set to decide Tuesday whether to quash or uphold an arrest warrant for  WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange  who has spent more than five years evading the law inside Ecuador's London embassy .\n Assange 's lawyers argue that it's no longer in the public interest to arrest him for jumping bail in 2012 and seeking shelter in the embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden  where prosecutors were investigating allegations of sexual assault and rape made by two women. He denied the allegations.\nSwedish prosecutors dropped their investigation last year  saying there was no prospect of bringing  Assange  to Sweden in the foreseeable future. But the British warrant for violating bail conditions still stands  and  Assange  faces arrest if  he  leaves the embassy.\n Assange 's lawyers asked for the warrant to be withdrawn since Sweden no longer wants  him  extradited  but  the judge  rejected their request last week.\n Assange 's attorney went on to argue that arresting  him  is no longer proportionate or in the public interest. Lawyer Mark Summers said that the 5½ years  Assange  has spent inside the embassy were \"adequate  if not severe\" punishment for his actions  and cited a report by a U.N. committee which said the 46-year-old was being arbitrarily detained.\nHe said the fact remained that  Assange  had chosen to enter the embassy to avoid arrest \nEven if the judge lifts the British arrest warrant   Assange 's legal problems may not be over. He suspects there is a secret U.S. grand jury indictment against him for WikiLeaks' publication of classified documents  and that American authorities will seek his extradition", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Edward Snowden ? A secretive British police investigation focusing on journalists who have worked with Edward Snowden’s leaked documents is still active more than four years after it was launched  The Intercept has learned.\nThe disclosure that the probe remains active prompted criticism on Monday from the National Union of Journalists  the U.K.’s largest journalists’ organization. Sarah Kavanagh  a spokesperson for the group  said that news reports based on the  Snowden  documents had exposed unlawful covert surveillance activities in the public interest.\n“The media are often the only group in society able to reveal the intelligence and security forces have exceeded their legitimate powers and remit ” Kavanagh said. “The Met Police should be condemned for keeping journalists under investigation because they worked on the  Snowden  leaks. The investigation should be halted immediately. Journalism is not a crime.”\nThe origins of the investigation can be traced back to May 2013  when  Snowden   a National Security Agency contractor  turned over a cache of classified documents about government surveillance to journalists  including Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald  who was at that time working for British news organization The Guardian. Among the documents were details about mass surveillance programs operated by the U.K.’s largest spy agency  Government Communications Headquarters  or GCHQ.\nIn August 2013  detectives from the Metropolitan Police used a counterterrorism law to detain and interrogate David Miranda  Greenwald’s partner  while he was passing through London’s largest airport. Miranda was carrying a batch of encrypted  Snowden  documents to aid Greenwald’s reporting on the files. The police seized Miranda’s possessions – including a mobile phone  laptop  camera  and flash drives – and began a criminal investigation.\nBritish authorities argued that publishing the  Snowden  files was itself a terrorist act  thereby explicitly conflating journalism with terrorism. Prior to Miranda’s arrival in London  a memo authored by the Metropolitan Police and domestic spy agency MI5 was circulated to U.K. border entry points. It asserted that “the disclosure [of the Snowden documents]  or threat of disclosure  is designed to influence a government and is made for the purpose of promoting a political or ideological cause. This therefore falls within the definition of terrorism.”", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Julian Assange ? WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange appears on the balcony of the Embassy of Ecuador in London in May 2017. (Justin Tallis/AFP/Getty Images)\nJulian Assange on Tuesday lost a second bid to quash a British arrest warrant  another setback for the WikiLeaks founder who has spent almost six years holed up in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London.\nThey also said the last five years that  Assange  has spent holed up in the embassy amounted to “adequate  if not severe  punishment” for skipping bail. The lawyers cited a U.N. panel on detentions that described  Assange  as “arbitrarily detained.”\n[German hacker offers rare glimpse into  Assange ’s world]\n“I find arrest is a proportionate response even though  Mr. Assange  has restricted  his  own freedom for a number of years ” the judge said.\n“Defendants on bail up and down the country  and requested persons facing extradition  come to court to face the consequences of their own choices ” she said. “ He  should have the courage to do the same. It is certainly not against the public interest to proceed.”\nAfter the ruling  Assange claimed there were “significant factual errors in the judgment” and suggested  he  might appeal.\n“There are 3 months to appeal UK ruling ”  he  wrote in a Twitter message.\nEven if the bail arrest warrant were lifted  it is unknown whether  Assange  would leave the embassy or where  he  would go. It is also unclear if  he  would immediately face extradition requests if  he  stepped foutside the embassy  which is monitored by security cameras.\n Assange  has long argued that there is an effort underway in the United States to charge  him  for  his  role in publishing classified U.S. documents.\nIt is not publicly known whether there is a sealed indictment against  Assange  under the 1917 Espionage Act. The Justice Department has previously debated the case against  him .\nMedia reports have suggested a sometimes strained relationship between  Assange  and  his  hosts. At one point  Ecuador severed  Assange ’s Internet connection over concerns that WikiLeaks was meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election after the anti-secrecy website published hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

CLOSE Alabama voters are getting a recorded phone call of President Donald Trump saying he needs Republican  Roy Moore  in the U.S. Senate. The recording includes Trump saying progress on his agenda will be \"stopped cold\" Democrat Doug Jones is elected. (Dec. 11) AP\n\"Huntsville is Republican territory but not  Roy Moore  territory \" said Joseph Smith  chair of the Department of Political Science at the University of Alabama. \"That's a place where you might see a drop off in Republican voting.\" Madison County is also one of the most populous in the state  so both candidates need to perform well there.\nIf Jones can keep  Moore  at or below Trump's numbers in Madison County   he  may have a chance.\nThis is a key part of the equation in the Huntsville area as well as in Mobile County  the second largest county in the state.  Moore  is a controversial conservative who has twice been removed from  his  position as chief justice on the Alabama Supreme Court for refusing to enforce laws  he  felt violated  his  Christian beliefs  a kind of religious indignation that is less popular among suburban women.\nIn addition  the explosive allegations against  Moore  — that  he  pursued romantic contact with teenage girls when  he  was in  his  30s — could cost  him  the support of some women who traditionally vote Republican.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Moore ? For some Alabama voters  supporting abortion rights may be a sin worse than some of the sexual misdeeds  Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore  has been accused of — allegations  Moore  has denied.\nThat's the conundrum facing the state's conservative  deeply religious electorate: Embrace Democrat Doug Jones despite his liberal stance on abortion and other social issues or vote for  Moore  anyway even if they believe there is some truth to the sexual assault allegations against him.\n\"The abortion issue alone is enough to buy [ Moore ] a win \" predicted Brent Buchanan  an Alabama GOP pollster and consultant. \"That's the one nonnegotiable for social conservatives. You're not as hardcore on taxes. 'I can give up on that ' some voters might think. But when you're talking about somebody else's life  that's a whole different ballgame. And I think that's the big difference.\"\n Moore  has underscored that major divide frequently at  his  campaign events  where  he 's continued to deny the accusations against  him  but also refused to answer questions from the media about the swirling scandals. Multiple women have accused the former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice of pursuing them romantically decades ago when they were teenagers and  he  was in  his  30s  and one woman has said  he  initiated sexual contact with her when she was just 14.\n Moore 's allies have also doubled down on the abortion issue in the race's final stretch. America First PAC  a pro-President Trump superPAC that's supporting  Moore  in the race  released an ad this week calling Jones's position on abortion \"unforgivable \" showing an ultrasound and a heartbeat that then flatlines.\n Moore  spokeswoman Jane Porter was even less subtle when she appeared on CNN Tuesday  talking to pregnant anchor Poppy Harlow and congratulating her on her \"unborn child.\"\nBut  Moore  has seized upon the initial comments to MSNBC  with  his  wife  Kayla  claiming that Jones supports \"full-term abortion.\" PolitiFact rated that claim as false  since there is no such thing as \"full-term abortion.\"\nSteven Taylor  a political science professor at Alabama's Troy University  agreed that social issues may be a sticking point that many conservative voters aren't able to overcome in voting for Jones. In addition to abortion   Moore  has hammered home  his  opposition to same-sex marriage and transgender rights.\n\"I think that  without a doubt  the social issues will motivate voters even if they are skeptical of the allegations against  Moore  \" Taylor said. \"Quite clearly  abortion is probably the most salient issue in the race  and more generally  social issues.\"\nThe fact that  Moore  is seen as a champion on social issues is nothing new. It's what propelled  him  to national political stardom — and into plenty of controversy. In 2003  he  was first removed from the state bench when  he  erected a statue of the Ten Commandments in the Alabama Judicial Building and refused to remove it even when ordered to do so by a federal court.  He  was elected again in 2012  but then subsequently suspended when  he  ordered state judges to defy the U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized gay marriage nationwide under the federal Constitution.\nTo Moore and  his  supporters  that defiance is a badge of honor. And it's a big reason why many voters are likely reluctant to believe the sexual misconduct and sexual assault allegations against him too  given the Christian nationalist positions he's wholeheartedly embraced in the past. And  at the crux of that is a stringent opposition to abortion.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Moore ? Voters in Alabama who pick up the phone on Tuesday might hear the voice of President Donald Trump   his  predecessor Barack Obama or former Vice President Joe Biden advocating for one of the candidates in the state’s U.S. Senate special election.\nBut they won’t hear from the current vice president  Mike Pence  who in a rare break with his boss has gone silent on a race that could narrow Republican control of the Senate. The election pits  Republican Roy Moore  who has been accused by several women of sexual misconduct while they were teenagers  against Democrat Doug Jones .\nPence hasn’t commented publicly about the race since Nov. 9  when a spokeswoman called the allegations against  Moore  “disturbing.”  His  absence stands out after Trump and the Republican National Committee reversed their abandonment of  Moore  and moved last week to fully support  him  despite the allegations. In contrast with  his  thrice-married boss  who’s faced  his  own allegations of misconduct with women  Pence is an evangelical conservative whose political career is marked by strong stands on moral issues such as abortion.\nIn November  the Washington Post published the accounts of four women who said  Moore  pursued them for dates and sexual encounters decades ago when they were teenagers and  Moore  was in  his  30s. One of them was 14 at the time. Another woman has accused  Moore  of sexually assaulting her when she was 16.  Moore  has denied the accusations and  his  campaign has attacked the credibility of the women speaking out against  him .\nThe allegations have turned the race in Republican-dominated Alabama into a competitive contest  with top Democrats like Obama and Biden recording robo-calls to gin up support for Jones. Trump has recorded a robo-call for  Moore .\nBefore the Post story  Pence offered his full endorsement of  Moore . Like his boss  the vice president had initially backed  Moore ’s primary opponent  Senator Luther Strange.\n “Congratulations Roy Moore ! We are thrilled you ran on the #MAGA agenda & we are for you!” Pence tweeted on Sept. 26  just 15 minutes after Trump posted his own congratulatory message after  Moore  defeated Strange.\nAccording to three people familiar with his actions  Breitbart News chairman Steve Bannon made calls to Trump and to Nick Ayers  Pence’s chief of staff  urging them to withhold public comment and let the people of Alabama decide whether  Moore  belonged in the Senate.\n Moore  enjoys little support among establishment Republicans outside of the Oval Office. The Senate Majority Leader  Mitch McConnell  has said  Moore  will be investigated by the Ethics Committee if he wins the election.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

For years   Bill Akins  fought to capitalize on  his  idea - with the U.S. government   his  former business partner and a rival competitor - but found  himself  stymied at every turn.\nThe 63-year-old Marine veteran and Elvis impersonator voiced  his  sorrow at the tragedy in Las Vegas  where authorities said Stephen Paddock had bump stocks installed on 12 of his rifles. The device allows semi-automatic weapons to fire almost as rapidly as machine guns  which are largely outlawed.\n“I would like to express my dismay and sincere condolences to the victims  families and anyone affected by the recent Las Vegas mass shooting ”  Akins  said during a telephone interview from  his  home about 45 minutes north of Tampa  Florida.\nBut  he  also defended the devices as protected under the U.S. Constitution’s right to bear arms.\n“People need to recognize that we either have a constitution  or we don‘t ”  he  said.\n Akins  first came up with  his  idea while watching a documentary about World War Two in 1996 that showed twin anti-aircraft guns firing at Japanese warplanes from a U.S. Navy ship.\n He  saw the barrels sliding back and forth with each concussive recoil and wondered if  he  could design a device that would mimic that action  turning a semi-automatic rifle that fires once per trigger pull into a weapon capable of shooting hundreds of rounds per minute.\nThe result  which  he  eventually termed the “Akins Accelerator ” seemed promising enough. Akins teamed up with a firearms industry businessman  secured two letters from the Bureau of Alcohol  Tobacco  Firearms and Explosives (ATF) affirming the mechanism behind the device was legal  and poured his savings into the project.\nAnother company  Slide Fire Solutions  began making its own version of the bump stock that was approved by the ATF  in large part because it lacked a recoil spring that  Akins  had included.\n Akins  transferred  his  patent to an outdoor sporting goods company  FosTecH Outdoors  and the two rival manufacturers engaged in a legal battle over patent infringement before settling the case in 2012.\n Akins  is limited in what  he  can say about the litigation  saying only that  he  is “legally prevented” from discussing certain aspects of the bump stock industry. But  he  made clear  his  ire at the ATF.\n“They just destroyed our business ”  he  said.\n Akins  put up  his  own property as collateral for a loan to launch the business.  He  estimated  he  sold several hundred devices  priced at more than $1 000 each  before  he  was shut down - not enough to cover  his  startup costs.\n He  filed two unsuccessful federal lawsuits against the ATF  leaving  him  with a workshop full of unused Akins Accelerators.\n“Boy  did I get an education ”  he  said. “I‘m not a person who’d ever done business before with a corporation  never worked in the firearm industry before  just a tinkerer that came up with an idea.”", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Chris Murphy ?

What is known for sure about  American military scientist Frank Olson  is that on November 28  1953  the bacteriologist and father of three plunged to  his  death from the thirteenth floor of the Statler hotel in New York City  not long after  he  was secretly drugged with LSD on the orders of  his  CIA superior. Whether  Olson  was pushed  or jumped  or was nudged into committing suicide remains unclear. But indeterminacy with a generous side of conspiracy is catnip to director Errol Morris  who has made either a 241-minute film or a six-part television series depending on where and how you plan to watch it  about the tragedy's long reach into  Olson 's family and America's secretive political culture.\n Olson 's death  and the murk surrounding its cause  cast a defining shadow over the life of his son Eric  whose endless quest to find out what happened that night has pre-empted all other endeavors. The blight spread around his family. His mother became an alcoholic with  the film implies  the active encouragement of one of her husband's colleagues. But Eric  now in his sixties  has arguably been completely derailed by the tragedy. He is the central focus of Wormwood  a hybrid blend of documentary and Cold War thriller that makes The B-Side  Morris's loving portrait of radical photographer Elsa Dorfman earlier this year  look almost straightforward.\nMoving back and forth between the 1953 events and 1975  when a Rockefeller commission confirmed that an army scientist had been purposefully drugged with hallucinogens   Wormwood carries us from secret meetings at Deer Lake through the long tail of misery and obfuscation left by  Frank 's death  to Eric's pursuit of the truth all the way to the corridors of power.\nIn hushed and menacing re-enactments  Peter Sarsgaard  whose mild manner lends itself to all kinds of tonal nuance  charts the decline and fall of  Olson   a patriotic team player whose growing unease about his agency's secretive involvement in biological warfare overseas first worries his boss (a reptilian Tim Blake Nelson) and then moves him to seize the day and use his hapless employee as a guinea pig. By the time  Frank  arrives at the hotel flanked by ambiguously supportive colleagues  he's rapidly unraveling into a gibbering wreck.\nWormwood's breathless  hopped-up style harks back to Morris's 1988 The Thin Blue Line  which called into question a murder verdict and resulted in the release of a wrongly convicted suspect from Death Row. Here the noir markers are writ so large as to verge now and then on self-parody. Morris keeps returning the action to the hotel to act out different angles and competing versions of what happened to  Olson  that night. The hypothetical range between possible perps —  Frank 's boss  his friends  two wordless thugs in fedoras  a CIA allergist played by a sinister Bob Balaban — is narrow enough to make these scenes a touch repetitive if you're watching in one sitting. Certainly they underscore Morris's standing as a lifelong participant observer of American paranoia. For which  it must be said  there is undeniable fodder in the manner of Olsen's going  the secrecy surrounding his death  the ambivalent admissions the Rockefeller Commission along with a dwindling financial settlement that looks suspiciously like hush money to  Olson  and to Morris  and the merrily chuckling presence in old footage of two well-known knowns  Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.\nFor all the formal beauty of the re-enactments  the most compelling scenes in Wormwood are the unembellished interviews that Morris — ordinarily an off-screen interlocutor with an appetite for the subtly leading question — is seen conducting across a table with Eric Olson  who waves his arms around with the befuddled intensity of a superannuated schoolboy as he tells his story. Articulate and charming  Eric is a talented collage artist who seems to have sacrificed career and significant relationships to his endless search for justice and truth  even after the case was officially closed and after he contacts investigative reporter Seymour Hersh  who first reported the drugging of  Olson  in The New York Times. Grandiose as always  Hersh insists that  he knows who murdered Frank Olson   but won't say for fear of compromising an anonymous source. We can't tell whether  he 's fibbing either.\nA romantic view — and I wouldn't entirely put this past Morris — is that  Olson  is  like  his  interlocutor  an artist with a magnificent obsession that sustains  him  even when it's doomed to failure. But in Wormwood  he  emerges with enormous poignancy as a tragic figure  perpetually stuck in limbo like the father we see tumbling  over and over  to  his  fate.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Washington (CNN)  Secretary of State Rex Tillerson  the stone-faced former oil executive Donald Trump tapped to serve as his global envoy   is increasingly seen by administration officials and diplomats as on  his  way out -- just as flash-points from Iran to North Korea flare.\nThe impression that  Tillerson's  days as Trump's top diplomat are numbered was fueled this week by new reports of acrimony between the two men -- principally  that  Tillerson  had questioned Trump's intelligence to other top officials.\nMore than a dozen sources inside the administration and in diplomatic circles describe the relationship between  Tillerson  and Trump as reaching a new low. The two men have failed to develop the type of close relationship that Trump enjoys with other members of his Cabinet. Radically different in personality  Tillerson and Trump have chafed at each other's perceived slights.\n Tillerson  has told friends  he  intends to remain in  his  post for at least a year  a psychological deadline that would allow  him  -- in  his  own mind -- to depart with dignity. But irritation with  his  boss  paired with frustration at the entrenched ways of Washington  have led  him  to waver at times.\nThere were indications this week that  Tillerson  would remain in  his  job for now  including public displays of support from Trump. A source familiar with the turmoil surrounding Tillerson says there is \"no indication\" the secretary's job is in jeopardy  at least not immediately.\nThis source said  Tillerson  remains focused on  his  job. \"That's where  his  head is \" the source said.\nAt the White House Friday  Trump's press secretary said the President retained confidence in  Tillerson   despite the growing sense in Washington that his days are numbered.\nTrump  however  has expressed frustration that  Tillerson  is stymieing aspects of  his  agenda. Trump grew furious on Wednesday when early morning news reports emerged that  Tillerson  had called him a \"moron\" during a meeting about Afghanistan over the summer. The public airing of the insult deeply angered the President  who vented on Twitter that the story amounted to \"fake news.\"\nMultiple sources told CNN that Trump was aware that  Tillerson  had used the word to describe him before the public report emerged  though it wasn't clear when he first learned of it. Having the information leaked  however  enraged him.\nEarly Wednesday   Tillerson  spoke with Trump's chief of staff John Kelly by phone as the story aired on morning television. Both agreed that  Tillerson  should deliver a statement refuting aspects of the report  which also said he had considered resigning from his post.\n Tillerson  delivered a set of remarks that adamantly denied he'd ever considered leaving the administration  and offered effusive praise for Trump's foreign policy objectives.\n\"There's never been a consideration in my mind to leave \"  Tillerson  said from the State Department Treaty Room.\nBut he did not deny calling Trump a \"moron\" when asked directly. Later  the State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said  Tillerson  told her he'd never used that language to describe the President.\nBut he has continued to bristle amid differences with the White House. Last week  Trump undercut his position on talks with North Korea after  Tillerson  said in Beijing that the US has direct channels of communication with Pyongyang. Trump said on Twitter that  Tillerson  was \"wasting him time.\" Differences also persist between the two men on the Iran nuclear deal  which Trump vowed to scrap as a candidate.\nTrump  according to people familiar with the dynamic  has grown resentful of  Tillerson's  differing stances on those policy issues  believing his secretary of state to be overly dismissive at times.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson ?

Rex  is here ” he said.\nIf  Tillerson  leaves in the next few months   he  would likely be viewed as one of the most underperforming secretaries of State in U.S. history with one of the shortest tenures to boot  say experts on American foreign policy.\n“It will ratify what is emerging as almost a consensus view that  Rex Tillerson  was the worst Secretary of State in modern time ” said Paul Musgrave  a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst who studies American foreign policy. “I actually think there is a good case to be made  ever.”\nIf  Tillerson  leaves in the next few weeks   he  will have served for roughly a year  inordinately short for a first-term Secretary of State in the modern era.

After 50 prolific years spent producing masterful black-and-white photographs   Roger Ballen  is ready to take  his  place as a master of the medium.\nThe past few years have seen major moves from the American-born  South African–based artist.  He  earned  his  own wing of Cape Town's Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art  after the Roger Ballen Foundation contributed the largest financial donation from a foundation the brand-new institution has seen yet. Outside of photography   he 's gone from directing Die Antwoord music videos to  his  own short films. With a new retrospective monograph  Ballenesque  out October 10 from Thames & Hudson  Ballen declares for all the world to hear that  he  is an icon.\nBallenesque opens with an essay by historian and cultural critic Robert J.C. Young. In it  Young begins to define the mesmerizing  \"instantly recognizable\" quality of Ballen's images  which he variously calls \"prehensile portraits \" \"aleatory assemblages \" \"windowless walls \" and \"dark junctures of disjunction.\" When Young introduces these cornerstones of  Ballen 's style  he writes  \"We isolate four; you  the viewer of the photograph  may add a fifth to complete the secret.\"\nThe rest of the book is a guided tour through  Ballen 's work  complemented by 50 pages of the artist's own anecdotes  autobiography  thoughts on technique  and philosophy. It all starts with blurry family portraits  Ballen  shot with a Mamiya camera  he  bought at 13 years old.  He  shares the first photo  his  that  he  really liked  a picture of a dead cat on the side of the road.\nAs  he  got older   he  became a documentarian of 60s and 70s counterculture  from grimacing Vietnam War protesters to carefree nudists at Woodstock. Many photos from this period in  his  career are shown for the first time within the pages of Ballenesque. By 1979   Ballen  had begun to travel the world  collecting snapshots of kids from New York to Indonesia that would be collected into a series called Boyhood.\nWhen he moved to South Africa   Ballen  became fixated on the human toll of apartheid.  He  traveled the impoverished South African countryside as a geologist  but photographed the people and places  he  saw along the way.  He  collected these images into the two series that made  him  famous  Platteland and Outland.\nAlso debuting in the new monograph are Ballen's paintings from the 1970s  which informed  his  abstract photography in Asylum of the Birds and The Theater of Apparitions. \"It was exciting to put those paintings in the book \"  he  said. Many of the paintings were lost when  his  father cleaned them out of their childhood home  but the ones that survive have been documented for Ballenesque. \"I didn't paint for 30 years  but in a way these set the foundation for my later work.\"\nBy the end of the text   Ballen 's work seems to exist  like one of his paintings  largely within his own mind. \"From about 2002 onward  you rarely see a human face in the photos \"  Ballen  said.  His  current project  teased in the final pages  is called Ah Rats. Now the vermin that have infested the edges of  his  work for years are at its center. In January   Ballen  art directed Die Antwoord's video for \"Tommy Can't Sleep \" which is full of the rats that are on his brain.\n Ballen  still walks Johannesburg looking for places to take pictures for around five hours a day.  He  spends the rest of  his  time with  his  family  administrating the Roger Ballen Foundation  and tending  his  collection of more than 100 pets. \"There's rats  snakes  chickens  ducks  lizards  rabbits  spiders  doves  pigeons  crows  mice \"  he  rattles off. Around 10 percent have names  including a bird named Icarus and a rat named Stoffel.\nIcarus  Stoffel  and  Ballen 's Johannesburg home are far from the roiling American political scene  but  Ballen  has some advice for young artists trying to distinguish themselves in a photographic era he describes as \"amorphous\" compared to when he cut his teeth.\nBallen is quick to clarify that he doesn't mean photographers should risk physical harm by \"jumping the White House fence\" to get a unique photograph. \"It's years and years and hours and hours later that you're developing an approach. My pictures are powerful because they access the subconscious mind. 'On the line' can mean psychological  as well as physical.\" Years spent paying attention to places and people others would rather ignore are how  Ballen  put  himself  on the line. As a result   his  photographs of outsiders help the rest of us look inward.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Frida Kahlo ?

Footwear News reported (somewhat snarkily) that  Trump  wore a $1 150 pair of Rene Caovilla sandals to visit HomeSafe in April.  Trump  also wore a $225 pair of L'Agence Margot jeans and an unidentified khaki shirt. Michelle Obama at a food bank: $540 pair of sneakers to complete an otherwise low-key look. In 2009  Obama caused some controversy when she wore a $540 pair of Lanvin sneakers to volunteer at a food bank with Jill Biden. She paired them with a $188 J.

Trump 's Michael Kors look cost an estimated $9 600  combining a black blazer that cost $5 000 and a matching skirt priced at $4 600. Michelle Obama at the 2015 State of the Union: $1 595 Michael Kors suit jacket. In 2015  Obama wore a suit that had been featured on CBS's political drama \"The Good Wife.\" The $1 595 jacket quickly sold out after the first lady wore it to the State of the Union address.\n Vacation Melania Trump 's return from Camp David: $303 J. Crew and J Brand.  Trump  recently proved that Obama wasn't the only first lady getting clothes from J. Crew. In late August   she  returned from Camp David wearing a $75 pink top from the retailer. Yahoo Style reported that  she  paired the top with $228 pink J Brand jeans and pink patent-leather flats that we couldn't trace (though Vanity Fair reports they're Manolo Blahniks). Michelle Obama exiting Air Force One in shorts: ? Obama faced serious backlash after being spotted leaving Air Force One for a hike of the Grand Canyon in 2009 wearing shorts. Four years later  Obama called the shorts incident one of her biggest fashion regrets. While Time notes that no brand ever \"stepped forward\" to claim the \"unflattering\" shorts  the entire outfit looks very J. Crew. In any case  it's safe to say it wasn't too expensive.\nInauguration — and why the numbers don't tell the full story  Trump 's fashion picks tend to be more expensive than Obama's. But that's not the full story. First  there's the question of custom-made dresses. For the past three inaugurations  the first lady wore a custom-made look. (Obama wore Jason Wu both times  and  Trump  wore a Herve Pierre gown.)  Trump  has reportedly struggled to find designers willing to work with  her . Meanwhile  many of Obama's most iconic looks are made specifically for  her  and are priceless  such as a custom-made Versace gown with a theoretical price tag of $12 000. Then there's the question of why it even matters. First ladies' outfits are not paid for with taxpayer dollars. You could be horrified that anyone could buy a coat that costs more than the average American makes in a year. But if you're going to criticize  Trump  for wearing $1 000 shoes  you have to criticize Obama as well.  Melania Trump's  2017 Inauguration Ball gown: priceless  custom-made Herve Pierre.

On Sunday morning   President Trump  expressed frustration that  his  campaign is under investigation over possible ties to Russia's plot to influence the 2016 election but that  his  former opponent Hillary Clinton is not facing the same level of scrutiny.\nIn four tweets sent over 24 minutes   Trump  wrote: “Never seen such Republican ANGER & UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake Dossier (now $12 000 000?)  the Uranium to Russia deal  the 33 000 plus deleted Emails  the Comey fix and so much more. Instead they look at phony  Trump/ Russia  'collusion ' which doesn't exist. The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for our country) Witch Hunt for evil politics  but the R's are now fighting back like never before. There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton  and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!”\nThe history of the dossier  Trump  referenced is a complicated one. During the 2016 Republican primaries  the conservative Washington Free Beacon paid the Washington firm Fusion GPS to investigate  Trump 's background and  eventually  his business ties to Russia  The Washington Post reported Friday. The publication receives financial support from billionaire GOP donor Paul Singer  according to two people familiar with Singer  whose firm did not respond to requests seeking comment.\nFusion GPS is an opposition research firm run by ex-journalists  but how is it connected to the  Trump  dossier  Donald Trump Jr.'s Trump Tower meeting and the 2016 election? The Fact Checker's Glenn Kessler explains. (Meg Kelly/The Washington Post)\nAfter the Free Beacon stopped paying Fusion GPS  the research firm offered in April 2016 to continue researching  Trump  for the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee  The Post reported last week. According to that reporting  Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele  a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community  who compiled a 35-page dossier on  Trump . Brian Fallon  a former spokesman for the Clinton campaign  said he learned about Steele and the dossier after the election. People familiar with the matter said the Clinton campaign and the DNC did not direct Steele’s activities.\nIt's unclear how much the Clinton campaign and DNC paid for the information. The Clinton campaign paid Perkins Coie $5.6 million in legal fees from June 2015 to December 2016  according to campaign finance records cited by The Post  and the DNC paid the firm $3.6 million in “legal and compliance consulting’’ since November 2015 — though it’s impossible to tell from the filings how much of that work was for other legal matters and how much of it related to Fusion GPS. It's unclear how  Trump  arrived at the $12 million figure used in  his  tweets.\n[ Trump  and Republicans steer Russia probes in new directions]\nWhen it comes to the “Uranium to Russia deal” that  Trump  referenced in  his  tweet  House and Senate Republican leaders have already announced two investigations into decisions made during the Obama administration  when Clinton was secretary of state  involving a uranium deal that increased Russia’s share of the U.S. nuclear market. At the same time  the House Oversight Committee has launched a probe into the Clinton email investigation that will examine  among other things  why then-FBI Director James B. Comey publicly announced that the bureau was investigating Clinton but then waited months before making a similar announcement about its inquiries into the Trump campaign.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald Trump Jr. ? We know President Donald Trump during the campaign publicly encouraged the Russians to hack and release Hillary Clinton's emails. We know he referenced the WikiLeaks email dump 145 times in the closing days of the campaign. We also know that Donald Trump Jr.  Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort met with Russians in June 2016 with the promise of \"dirt\" on Hillary Clinton  and we have learned that campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had extensive contacts with Russian officials that included discussion of \"dirt\" on Clinton. To say that there is no evidence of collusion  then  would be one more big lie in a series of big lies the administration has deployed to defend itself in the Russia investigation that threatens to sink this presidency.\n\"Trump's eldest son exchanged private messages with WikiLeaks during the presidential campaign at the same time the website was publishing hacked emails from Democratic officials  according to correspondence made public Monday. Donald Trump Jr. did not respond to many of the notes  which were sent using the direct message feature on Twitter. But he alerted senior advisers on his father's campaign  including his brother-in-law  Jared Kushner  according to two people familiar with the exchanges.\nEven more directly  Donald Trump Jr. was urged to have his father tweet a link to the leaked email:\nHowever  at bottom this is also a political question  namely whether Trump's conduct violated his oath of office and whether he abused the powers of the presidency to protect himself from embarrassment. Republican tribalists likely will never reach that conclusion  but a member of Congress viewing in good faith all this evidence in context (plus  Trump 's attacks on the courts and press   his  compulsive lying and  his  refusal to protect the country against further Russian interference) could — and I would suggest  should — reach a different result.

Trump  has repeatedly criticized  his  Justice Department for not aggressively probing a variety of conservative concerns.  He  said recently that officials there “should be looking at the Democrats” and that it was “very discouraging” they were not “going after Hillary Clinton.” On the campaign trail   Trump’s  supporters frequently chanted “Lock  her  up!” at the mention of Clinton’s name.\n“Hopefully they are doing something  and at some point  maybe we are going to all have it out ”  Trump  said recently.\nSessions’s relationship with the president has been significantly strained since he recused himself from the investigation into possible coordination between the  Trump  campaign and the Kremlin to influence the 2016 election. The president has publicly lambasted his attorney general and noted that had he known in advance of Sessions’s recusal  he would not have appointed him to the post. It was after Sessions’s recusal that Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein appointed Robert S. Mueller III to lead the investigation into the  Trump  campaign and the Kremlin.\n[Jeff Sessions says he plans to stay in role  despite  Trump ’s comments about him]\nIn that context  the letter is likely to be seen by some  especially on the left  as Sessions inappropriately bending to political pressure  perhaps to save his job. The possible reigniting of a probe of Clinton is likely to draw especially fierce criticism  even as it is welcomed by  Trump ’s supporters.\nWhen  Trump  said during the campaign that  he  would “instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor” to look into Clinton  former attorney general Michael Mukasey — a  Trump  supporter and vocal Clinton critic — said  Trump  having  her  investigated and jailed “would be like a banana republic.”\n Trump  would later back down from his threats  before breathing life into them again with his more recent comments.\nBrian Fallon  who served as the press secretary for the Clinton campaign  noted that the Justice Department letter became public not long after revelations that  Donald Trump Jr.  had communicated with WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign.\n“Like clockwork  just as we learn of damning details of  Donald Trump Jr.’s  contacts with WikiLeaks  the Trump administration is firing up the fog machine to distract from the Mueller probe ” Fallon said.\nMany of the items Goodlatte wanted investigated had long been conservative talking points  some having to do with matters many considered resolved: various decisions made in the Clinton email case  the Uranium One purchase  the “unmasking” of people by the intelligence community and allegations by  Trump  that he was wiretapped by his predecessors. Unmasking is a routine part of intelligence officials’ jobs; officials have said there is no evidence to support  Trump’s  claims that  he  was wiretapped; and while conservatives have sought to cast the Uranium One deal as an example of Clinton taking Russian money to influence U.S. policy  there is no evidence that Clinton participated in any discussions regarding the sale  which was approved during the Obama administration while she was secretary of state.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

And no doubt  the predator is egregiously wrong.\nIt's dangerous to rely on non-verbal cues or mind reading to tell a guy you're OK with oral sex (giving and receiving) and making out on the couch but you do not want to go all the way  as did the woman who called herself \"Grace\" in the Babe.net story about her date with  Ansari .\nSpeaking up is difficult but there is no better time than this #MeToo moment for women to find their voices  not just to expose real predators who sexually harass and assault women  but overly zealous men  as the Babe article portrays  Ansari  to be  who may think \"yes\" to a date at  his  place automatically means \"yes\" to sex.\n Ansari  released a statement saying that the sexual encounter \"by all indications was completely consensual\" and that  he  was \"surprised and concerned\" when  he  heard that \"it wasn't the case.\"\nA guy once told me: \"This is our second date. The third date means we're having sex. That's the rule.\" I was shocked but at least  he  was honest. So was I: \"There won't be a third date. It's been fun \" I responded. We laughed and remain friends today. No playing coy  no mind reading. No games. When it comes to dating  both people equally are accountable for setting the tone.\nMy friends and I have rules: 1) Public place for the first date  feel  him  out. 2) If and when you do go to  his  place  or yours  set up a \"rescue call or text\" later that night. This gives you an excuse to leave quickly  if needed. I use a code word if I'm in trouble and need help. 3) And  of course  if things get totally out of control  try to stay calm  speed-dial 911  then fight like hell to get away.\nThe  Aziz Ansari  story is a good litmus test for who sees sexual misconduct as a strictly legal question and who is concerned about improving the overall culture surrounding sex and dating. It's also many times more relevant to the average person's experience than  say  Weinstein. — David Klion (@DavidKlion) January 15  2018\nWhy  in situations like the one described between \"Grace\" and  Aziz Ansari   do we focus on the reaction of the woman  rather than the behavior of the man? And what is the message we give women when they are judged and shunned after sharing their stories on social media?\nThe phrase is representative of every experience from an unwelcome kiss or grope to rape  and new allegations against  Ansari  pick at the gaping hole in this kind of umbrella movement: the failure to differentiate between rape and sexual assault. In response to the allegations  Ansari released a statement saying that he believed \"by all indications\" that the sexual activity was \"completely consensual.\"", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

The defense also argued that  Fournier 's memories  which were central to the prosecution's case  were unreliable.\nThere was no physical evidence tying  Fournier  to the crime scene  which  his  attorney  Jeffrey Silverstein  has called unusual for a murder case.

The new Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium doesn’t have just one multi-story mega-tank parading exotic fish species. There are at least three  and that’s not counting the Bait Ball  a basement-to-second-floor  see-through aquatic sheath in which thousands of little herring swim around in what I can only imagine is abject terror while a handful of sharks circle them and sometimes glide through them.\nAnd when it came time  in late September  to open this new animal destination built around Bass Pro Shops’ flagship store in southwestern Missouri  Johnny Morris didn’t just cut a ribbon and start taking tickets. The Bass Pro impresario threw a gala party and brought in fishing and hunting pals  including country music superstars  actor Kevin Costner and former Presidents Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush. The local paper the next day spoke of a “private ‘jet jam’” at the airport.\nIn other words  the Wonders of Wildlife aesthetic  as one employee put it  is “maximalist.” If there’s an empty space   Morris  is going to squeeze in a live snake tank  a few massive orca models suspended from the ceiling  or a taxidermied puma nestled in faux rocks on an otherwise ordinary staircase.\nAnd if there’s a small city on the Ozarks plateau that could use a new family tourism draw  then  Morris  is going to give it one that combines aspects of New York’s American Museum of Natural History and Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium in 350 000 square feet of space  roughly two-thirds the size of the Shedd.\n Morris  visited the Shedd and AMNH frequently in  his  planning  a spokesman said  but the result is hardly your conventional aquarium. The aquarium portion of Wonders of Wildlife doesn’t limit itself  for instance  to water-dwelling live animals. Owls inhabit a barn setting  and brown bears live where the pathway  briefly  ventures out of doors. In the cave environment  that fluttering you hear isn’t only the beating of your heart; it’s the live bats flapping beside you  behind wire mesh.\n“I don’t know if I’d get in a car from Chicago just to see this  but I’d sure put it on my trip ” said opening-day visitor Larry Smith  a retiree from Springfield and unabashed Johnny Morris fan.\nThe abundance in these halls — 1.5 miles of pathway through scores of newly made natural-history dioramas and watery habitats — won’t shock anybody who has visited Bass Pro Shops  the retail empire  Morris  built from humble beginnings selling bait in  his  dad’s Springfield liquor store.\nIn other words: Look at all the pretty fish  and wouldn’t it be awesome to hook one? The main point is that taxes on hunting and fishing gear and licenses have funded state and federal conservation efforts to the tune of tens of billions of dollars since 1937. You can look it up by  well  looking up at one of the aquarium’s walls  where  Morris  has the stats laid out.\nIt’s a worthy message to deliver  especially to folks whose most vigorous hunting trips come in the aisles at Costco. But the effect in the galleries can be disquieting.  The dioramas Morris  has commissioned are  by and large  spectacular. The backdrops are hand-painted. The animals strike vivid poses: A grizzly bear chases wolves through an Alaskan tundra scene  and a herd of caribou surges uphill out of a roiling river. Some dioramas are like windows onto a specific moment; others are  again  maximalist  as in the Africa room  where visitors walk in the middle of an enormous set stuffed and mounted with virtually every animal of that continent you can think of — Africa’s greatest hits.\nBut just as you are admiring the homage to the national parks in a series of dioramas showcasing marquee species from some of them  a little plaque will inform you that this particular bear standing in a stream amid salmon at Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge is  in fact  a 10-foot 6-inch brown bear taken with bow and arrow by John Paul Morris  one of  Johnny ’s sons  at Deadman Bay  Kodiak Island  Alaska  in October 2011.\nElsewhere  there’s the “longest alligator gar ever recorded ” an 8-foot 3 ¾-inch specimen taken by John Paul and  Johnny  on a Texas river in 2007. In a great hall of deer trophies — think hunting lodge gone wild — all the mounted heads act as wallpaper and have plaques describing their provenance  including one fine fellow marked with the poignant  “Illinois Road Kill  Hancock County  Ill.”", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Gross ? “His tail was whipping around  I had his head and his body twisting  it took everything I had to hold him without him getting away from me ” the Chief of Department for the Suffolk County SPCA Chief Roy Gross told The Post.\nBut  Gross  said having an illegal reptile like an alligator in a residential home is no joke.\nThe gator was discovered on Friday after Suffolk Police were called to the home for an unrelated matter.

It is an astounding volume of animal matter.\n\"As far as antler  it's either crap and we don't want it  or it's really  really nice \"  Gillespie  says with a laugh.\nThe four or five years since antler chews have become more popular with his customers have been good for  Gillespie 's business. Instead of trading predominantly in the large  high-end antlers favored by artisans and collectors  the store can now buy more medium-sized products to cut down into the chews they stock in baskets by the register.\nBut he has turned sellers away if he thinks the source material might have been illegally obtained.  Gillespie  points to the pervasive presence of substance abuse  and says  he  and  his  staff look for whether a person seems drunk  high  or in withdrawal as they assess a potential purchase.\n\"If it's questionable  we don't do anything with it for a while \"  he  says. They might tell someone to come back in a few hours  pulling images of the person or their license plate from the numerous security cameras mounted around the store  sharing the information with police.\nBut anyone  he  turns away can just go to Craigslist—where every day in Alaska  plenty of people promise in all caps to pay up to $50 a pound in cash for antlers.

The company  says  he  had faced a \"short illness.\"\n\" His  legacy will be admired for many years to come and  his  vision – to create a better everyday life for the many people – will continue to guide and inspire us \" says Jesper Brodin  the CEO and president of the IKEA Group.\n The company Kamprad  founded at 17 grew into a multinational behemoth  with nearly 400 stores worldwide  almost a billion store visits per year and more than $36 billion in annual retail sales in Europe alone.\nThough  the company  — which never went public — was and remains secretive about  its  finances   it  did reveal  its  balance sheet for the 2009 fiscal year. NPR's Jacob Goldstein reported the upshot of the financial disclosure in 2010:\n\" The company  is sitting on a huge pile of cash  and managed to grow throughout the economic turbulence of the past few years. \"In  its  2009 fiscal year  Ikea made $3.5 billion in profits on $30.2 billion in revenues. And the company was holding $19.7 billlion in cash at the end of that year. (Ikea reported results in euros; I converted the figures to dollars at the current exchange rate.)\"\n Kamprad  was born March 30  1926 and — despite struggles with dyslexia — exhibited an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age  selling matchboxes as a small child.  He  quickly realized  he  could buy them dirt cheap in bulk and then sell them for a low price while still earning a profit.  He  later moved on to selling fish  Christmas decorations and pens.  He  ran advertisements in local papers and also distributed a \"makeshift mail-order catalog \" as the Associated Press reports.\nAt the age of 17   he  formed IKEA  an acronym built from  his  own initials and those of  his  family farm (Elmtaryd) and the local parish (Agunnaryd).\nIn 1950   he  added furniture sourced from local manufacturers to  his  catalogs and  when it became evident that it was  his  most popular product  it became  his  sole focus.\n Kamprad 's lightbulb moment arrived in the 1950s when  he  saw an employee removing the legs from a table to help a customers transport it.  He  pioneered flat-pack furniture that would fit snugly inside its box  saving space and money. What's more  the costs of assembly would be eliminated by letting consumers build their own furniture.\n Kamprad  prioritized an image of austerity for  himself  and  his  company  even though Bloomberg Billionaires Index calculated  his  wealth at $58.7 billion and ranked  him  the eighth wealthiest man in the world. In a book  he  wrote about IKEA's history   he  wrote that  he  often perused local vegetable markets just before they rolled up shop for the night  always on the hunt for a better deal.  He  reportedly drove a modest Volvo  flew economy class (and made  his  executives do the same)  ate cheap meals and stayed in budget hotels.  He  spent many years living in Switzerland to avoid Sweden's steep taxes  a decision that rankled some in  his  home country.\nThrift was one of the virtues  he  laid out in a manifesto  he  published in the 1970's titled  \"The Testament of a Furniture Dealer.\"\nReporters later found that  his  reputation for penny-pinching was not entirely accurate  however  as the New York Times reports:\n\" His  home was a villa overlooking Lake Geneva  and  he  had an estate in Sweden and vineyards in Provence.  He  drove a Porsche as well as the Volvo.

Chidera Eggerue   23  used to resent her drooping breasts and dreamed of the day she could get a boob job. Now she is encouraging women to love their bosom buddies – no matter the size or sag.\n Chidera Eggerue  has learned to love her body – saggy boobs and all – and now she wants to help others to do the same. The 23-year-old award-winning British blogger  better known as the Slumflower  is the driving force behind Saggy Boobs Matter  an online movement that challenges unrealistic expectations of what breasts should look like. “A lack of representation of saggy-looking boobs when I used to go bra shopping in M&S [as a young teenager] made me realise that something is wrong with the way the world views women’s bodies ”  Eggerue  told BuzzFeed News.\n“The packaging would always have a picture of a white woman with perky boobs  yet when I’d try on the same bra in my correct size  my boobs just wouldn’t look like the model pictured.” Pretty soon she had developed a complex and started to resent her boobs. “It was so bad that at that age I had already decided that I’d get a boob job once I got my first job at 18 ”  Eggerue  said. “I reached 18 and didn’t get a job  let alone a boob job  so I continued self-loathing until I reached 19 and became tired of feeling like a stranger in my own body. I decided I’d had enough and made the choice to stop wearing a bra.”\nThough  Eggerue  feels confident in  her  own skin   she  wanted to share  her  journey towards self-acceptance to contribute to the wider conversation about body positivity. Since July 2017   she  has been sharing pictures of  herself  without a bra  with captions that are defiant and inspirational. “Fast-forward to 23: I’ve now reached a position of feeling comfortable in my body  but I wanted other women to feel like this  so I had to start the conversation by using my own body as an example ”  she  said.\n“Through creating #SaggyBoobsMatter  I have been able to help women articulate their own body image hangups – especially slim women who don’t really know where they stand in the body positivity movement.”  Eggerue  sees the shaming of saggy boobs as a vicious cycle: “Saggy boobs are underrepresented. Being underrepresented makes you feel alien to society. This fosters insecurities in people who don’t have the mental strength to see value in themselves beyond other people’s standards.”  Her  passion  however  does come with a price. As  her  tweets and Instagram started to go viral   she  came under immense scrutiny not only from those who thought Saggy Boobs Matter was a bit of a joke  but also from some who made disparaging remarks about  her  natural assets and ordered  her  to put a bra on. “Overall  I think the movement has been received with a lot of sarcasm and insults from men and a few confused women  which doesn’t surprise me ”  Eggerue  said. “This concerns me a lot because other women who look like me are seeing some of the horrible responses to this movement and are now probably feeling more insecure about their bodies when they see the vitriol I receive for showing up boldly and proudly. “Most of the responses have been horrible and disappointing  but I’ve learnt to not take them so personally. Men are socialised to see women as vaginas that think  sometimes. Because of this  women’s bodies are picked apart as if we only exist to satisfy.\nThe meme was shared by Nigerian music producer Don Jazzy  one of the biggest names in Afrobeats  to his 3 million followers. “It was quite hurtful to see that a stranger had gone to my page  stolen a photo of me that I took on my birthday  and thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a meme comparing women to phone battery life ” she said. “My photo was compared to a dying phone battery  meaning that I was seen as unattractive. What was more hurtful was seeing the meme shared by a famous Nigerian musician with a very large audience  so the comments were full of strangers laughing at my body.” When she expressed her disappointment about the meme  the abuse started.  Eggerue  was called an attention-seeker and told to get over  it  – that  it  wasn't a big deal. “No matter how much you love yourself  randomly seeing strangers laugh at your body is not a nice feeling at all ”  Eggerue  said. “Cyberbullying does not stop being cyberbullying just because a person is popular/famous.” Don Jazzy later apologised and deleted his post  but it made  Eggerue  more determined to spread her message. She wants women to know that “you were made with intention and your body is not a mistake”.\n“By force  we will all have to learn that the only way to normalise something is to see it repeatedly. So if you have an issue with saggy boobs  you have to ask yourself why a person’s body offends you ” she added. “For the women who look like me: Your saggy boobs matter. And from now until you die  what’s going to matter  ultimately  is your character. Sometimes people are scared of what they haven’t been taught to accept. We still have to exist loudly  though.”  Eggerue  said that  she 's been receiving messages from women from around the world telling  her  that  her  campaign has helped them.\n Eggerue  said  it  has been “an overwhelming experience receiving so many lovely and deeply personal messages from women who have found comfort in this movement”.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nicolette ?

Bush ? (CNN)  George W. Bush  doesn't talk much about politics in public. Which makes the speech  he  gave Thursday in New York City -- a point-by-point rejection of Trumpism -- all the more important and noteworthy.\nThe 43rd president of the United States -- and the last Republican to hold the office before Donald Trump -- didn't mention  the 45th president by name in his speech at the George W. Bush Institute . But Trump -- and his views -- were ever-present in the former President's address.\n Bush  condemned \"nationalism distorted into nativism.\"\n He  derided \"discourse degraded by casual cruelty.\"\n He  acknowledged that \"our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication.\"\nAnd  most importantly   Bush  said that \"bigotry seems emboldened.\"\nThe two speeches  taken together  amount to a verbal lapel-shaking by  Bush  and McCain of the Republican Party they have led over the past two decades. \"Wake up!\"  Bush  and McCain are saying to their party. \"What Trump represents is neither Republican nor conservative. It is Trump. Which is fine for Trump but far less fine for the medium-to-long-term health of the Grand Old Party.\"\nThere will be some who question  Bush 's motives. (Trump  via Twitter  may be one of them.) After all  Trump savaged \"low-energy\"  Jeb Bush  during the 2016 campaign. And the Bush family is literally one of the cornerstones of the Republican political establishment. Of course they don't like that someone like Trump is overthrowing them -- and their failed policies and political tactics!\nBut it's important to remember that the presidency is viewed by those who have held the office as a sort of sacred trust. Yes  George W. Bush saw the world differently than Barack Obama did -- and each man pursued divergent policies in office. What they shared  however  was a fundamental desire to remind Americans of our common humanity  to look to the future as a more optimistic  more tolerant and  yes  better place. They believed in the idea that America was forever moving toward a more perfect union and that their job was to help steer the country in that direction as quickly and safely as possible.\nIt's easy to paint Trumpism as solely a rejection of Obama's presidency. But to do so would be to ignore the degree to which Trump has sought to undo  Bush 's focus on on free trade agreements as a way to guard against global protectionism   his  belief in the need for comprehensive immigration reform as consistent with the founding ideals of the country and  his  unwillingness to paint Islam with the broad brush of terrorism.\n Bush 's speech Thursday was a re-assertion of those views and  as such  a rejection of Trumpism.\n\"We become the heirs of Martin Luther King Jr. by recognizing one another not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character \"  Bush  said toward the end of  his  speech. \"This means people of every race  ethnicity and religion can be fully and equally American. It means that bigotry or white supremacy in any form is blasphemy against the American creed. It means the very identity of our nation depends on the passing of civic ideals to the next generation.\"", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

(CNN) This past weekend at the Aspen Security Forum  the rumor mill was working overtime on the idea that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was seriously considering resigning   if not immediately then by the end of the year.\nWe have written a number of pieces about  Tillerson 's travails -- some self-inflicted but most undeniably a result of the stunningly idiosyncratic and harmful way the President's statements and tweets have gummed up the foreign policy machinery.\n Tillerson  has indeed had a rough time. Having worked for and seen our fair share of secretaries of state come and go  we've never witnessed anything like this. Usually a president will designate the secretary of state as his voice and the key repository of authority on foreign policy. And whether the President chooses to empower the nation's top diplomat on the big issues somewhat (Hillary Clinton) or all the way (Jim Baker)  the secretary is the primary adviser to the President on foreign policy.\nWe understand  Tillerson 's frustrations. But we'd also respectfully argue that    however stacked the deck may be against  him    Tillerson  shouldn't quit. And here's why.\nAnd to do so   Tillerson  would need a very compelling reason that would not only make sense to  him   but would also protect  his  public reputation and credibility. Vance left because of his profound opposition to Carter's decision to launch an almost certainly doomed military mission to rescue the American hostages in Iran. Frustration with the bureaucracy  unhappiness with the President's governing style or pique over a backbiting White House just aren't compelling reasons commensurate with the status of the job.\nRight now  based on everything we know   Tillerson  just doesn't have one such reason. And an early out  particularly for a guy who took the job claiming he wanted to serve his country  would damage his reputation and add a sad coda to the end of his State Department stewardship.\nIt's true that the headlines for  Tillerson  don't look all that good. He may have a great deal of contact with the President and have been the one Trump chose to attend the meeting with Putin on the margins at the G20  but unless the President makes it clear that the Secretary is his main adviser on some issue and  Tillerson  steps up to take charge of it  he's not going to be seen as having much influence.\n Tillerson  has a small army behind  him  to put out diplomatic fires and manage crises. But like any good general  to achieve the mission  he  needs to delegate authority and trust  his  subordinates.\nIt's not just that  Tillerson  has been undercut from above;  he  has also not been well served from below  but this is a self-inflicted wound. The secretary is squandering his most precious asset -- the immensely talented  intelligent  experienced  hardworking and capable people who man the trenches at Foggy Bottom.\nNews flash: the bureaucracy at State is not the enemy  so  Tillerson  should stop treating it like one.  He 's trying to run the department in a highly centralized and tightly controlled manner like Jim Baker. It worked for Baker because  he  had the horsepower in  his  inner circle.  Tillerson  is not as fortunate.\nInstead   he  should emulate the more decentralized and inclusive management model of George Shultz  who empowered the other senior officials in the department to take the initiative and backed them 100% even when they stumbled. If  Tillerson  gives these officials the authority  support and tools they need to do their job  they will help  him  and the department to be more effective.\n His  successor could be worse\nAs ineffectual  at times  as  Tillerson  has been  it cannot be assumed that things couldn't get any worse under new management. For all his stumbles  the Secretary of State has gotten a few big things right. He has  for example  been a soothing voice in reassuring US allies  particularly Japan and South Korea of America's defense commitments. He has developed a good relationship with Secretary of Defense James Mattis -- and on some issues (even though he's lost on a couple  like US withdrawal from the Paris accord on climate change)  he has moderated some of Trump's worst instincts  such as walking away from the nuclear deal with Iran. He's also talked tough on maintaining existing sanctions on Russia  which may have helped stiffen the President's resolve as well.\nThere's no guarantee that his successor will play well with others  hand-hold the allies rather than throw bombs at them or elevate diplomacy  engagement and dialogue with difficult countries rather than adopt confrontational policies that offer little prospect for success but significant risks of escalation. For all those who hope to wish Tillerson an early and happy retirement  be careful what you wish for    especially if  his  successor is more ideological and combative and less pragmatic than the more even-keeled Tillerson.\n Tillerson  does not have a small ego.  He  doesn't want to be the answer to the question in a game of Trivial Pursuit of which Secretary of State holds the record for the shortest tenure in the modern era. And from  his  many years as a world class negotiator   he  should have a sixth sense for when to hold and when to fold. Now is not the time to fold.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson ?

But irritation with  his  boss  paired with frustration at the entrenched ways of Washington  have led  him  to waver at times.\nThere were indications this week that  Tillerson  would remain in  his  job for now  including public displays of support from Trump.

Trump grew furious on Wednesday when early morning news reports emerged that  Tillerson  had called him a \"moron\" during a meeting about Afghanistan over the summer. The public airing of the insult deeply angered the President  who vented on Twitter that the story amounted to \"fake news.\"\nMultiple sources told CNN that Trump was aware that  Tillerson  had used the word to describe him before the public report emerged  though it wasn't clear when he first learned of it. Having the information leaked  however  enraged him.\nEarly Wednesday   Tillerson  spoke with Trump's chief of staff John Kelly by phone as the story aired on morning television. Both agreed that  Tillerson  should deliver a statement refuting aspects of the report  which also said he had considered resigning from his post.\n Tillerson  delivered a set of remarks that adamantly denied he'd ever considered leaving the administration  and offered effusive praise for Trump's foreign policy objectives.\n\"There's never been a consideration in my mind to leave \"  Tillerson  said from the State Department Treaty Room.\nBut he did not deny calling Trump a \"moron\" when asked directly. Later  the State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said  Tillerson  told her he'd never used that language to describe the President.\nBut he has continued to bristle amid differences with the White House. Last week  Trump undercut his position on talks with North Korea after  Tillerson  said in Beijing that the US has direct channels of communication with Pyongyang. Trump said on Twitter that  Tillerson  was \"wasting him time.\" Differences also persist between the two men on the Iran nuclear deal  which Trump vowed to scrap as a candidate.\nTrump  according to people familiar with the dynamic  has grown resentful of  Tillerson's  differing stances on those policy issues  believing his secretary of state to be overly dismissive at times.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

White House counsel Don McGahn refused to order the Justice Department to fire Mueller  the source said  because he disagreed with the President's reasoning.\n Trump  appeared in good spirits Friday morning as  he  prepared to deliver remarks in Davos  a source who spent time with  Trump  behind the scenes said. There was no sign that  he  was perturbed by reports about  his  move to fire Mueller  this person said  and  Trump  didn't bring up the topic.\nBut ever since a special counsel was named  the President's frustrations have continued to simmer.  Trump  has come to view Rosenstein as one-in-the-same as Mueller -- another government official who is out to get the President  one source said.\nSources described  Trump 's frustration with Rosenstein as largely bluster.\nIn explaining his urge to fire Mueller  The Times  citing two people  said the President said there was a conflict of interest based on Mueller's dispute with one of his golf clubs over fees  the fact that Mueller worked at  the same law firm that was representing Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner   and that Mueller interviewed for the FBI director position the day before he was named special counsel. A source tells CNN another reason  Trump  wanted to fire Mueller was  his  perception that Mueller was close friends with Comey. The two men are professional acquaintances.\nAs for McGahn   he  was already prone to becoming frustrated with the President and had threatened to quit over different issues  including  Trump 's choice of lawyers to defend the President and White House  according to a source familiar with the situation. But the pressure in June to fire Mueller caused McGahn to tell others  he  would resign  and this time  he  packed up some of  his  belongings in boxes  according to two people familiar with the matter.\nBefore the news broke Thursday  those who have worked closely with McGahn in recent weeks said they believe  he 's committed to staying at the White House.

The president has publicly lambasted his attorney general and noted that had he known in advance of Sessions’s recusal  he would not have appointed him to the post. It was after Sessions’s recusal that Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein appointed Robert S. Mueller III to lead the investigation into the  Trump  campaign and the Kremlin.\n[Jeff Sessions says he plans to stay in role  despite  Trump ’s comments about him]\nIn that context  the letter is likely to be seen by some  especially on the left  as Sessions inappropriately bending to political pressure  perhaps to save his job.

When  the Rev. Jesse Jackson  announced in November that  he ’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease   he  was not spared by the ruthless news cycle.\n Jackson ’s name scrolled along bright red tickers for only the brief  intermittent moments between chaos.  His  announcement was largely crowded out by news of the GOP tax bill and sexual assault allegations against Democratic Sen. Al Franken. As  his  revelation traveled across the Web  unfounded rumors of  his  imminent death caused a brief reflection on what  Jackson  meant to  his  nation.\nBut  Jackson ’s legacy is worthy of deeper scrutiny — albeit a scrutiny spurred by  his  ill condition — particularly as the United States feels the tremors from waves  he  helped create.\nRace is the most potent force in American politics  and no one has navigated it and manipulated it for longer  and with greater stature  than  the Rev. Jesse Jackson .  His  complicated history reveals one whose influence is perhaps further reaching and more implicative of our nation than any other since its beginnings.\nBarack Obama’s presidency unveiled a flood of overt racism that has  to date  imperiled the United States domestically and exposed the nation abroad. And to credit Obama for this is also to credit  Jackson  for providing Obama with a methodology for political success  thus influencing the arc of our national history in incomparable ways.\nTom Williams via Getty Images  Jesse Jackson  with then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) as the 109th Congress is sworn in on Jan. 4  2005.\nIn the 1970s   Jackson  emerged as the civil rights movement’s foremost vestige.  He ’d outlived or outgrown  his  cadre of activist contemporaries from the late-1960s — the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. among them — and spent a significant portion of the decade compiling a portfolio of global activist work.\nBy the 1984 Democratic primaries   Jackson  had reified  himself  in American culture as a thought leader on civil rights  to the dismay of some who’d accused  him  of carpetbagging for years  and any study of  Jackson ’s political significance requires noting the privileges afforded  him . A concoction of racism and sexism had  up to then  inhibited Americans from allowing black women to ascend similarly in politics  even though a Shirley Chisholm or Barbara Jordan may have been more qualified.\nNonetheless   Jackson  consolidated enough heft among Southern blacks and disillusioned whites to win contests in Louisiana  Mississippi and South Carolina during  his  1984 bid.\n His  soaring speech at the 1984 Democratic National Convention conceded victory to  his  opponents  but it provided a framework for Democratic politics that still holds.\n“Our flag is red  white and blue  but our nation is a rainbow ― red  yellow  brown  black and white ”  Jackson  said  “and we’re all precious in God’s sight.”\n Jackson  concluded  his  speech by professing  “Our time has come. Suffering breeds character. Character breeds faith. In the end  faith will not disappoint.”\nThis strategy proved fruitful for  Jackson  in the 1988 election cycle.  Jackson  tripled  his  share of white voters from 1984 to 1988  improved upon  his  support in the South and captured victories in 13 contests  including Michigan.  His  failed-but-competitive candidacy modeled a path forward for Democrats  who  as today  sought to encircle rural white voters in the electorate when it seemed they’d secured the black vote reliably.\nObama praised  Jackson  during his 2008 candidacy  saying he “set a precedent for African Americans running for the highest office in the land.”\nCheryl Chenet/Corbis via Getty Images  The Rev.

Durbin said in an interview: That was the nature of this conversation. When it came to the issue of  quote  \"chain migration \" I said to the president  do you realize how painful that term is to so many people? African-Americans believe they migrated to America in chains and when you talk about chain migration  it hurts them personally.\nIn 2010  Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) advocated on the Senate floor for ending the process known as \"chain migration \" whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S.  a term that he now claims insinuates racism. While asking Congress to pass the expansive and failed \"DREAM Act\" amnesty  which would start by legalizing millions of illegal aliens   Durbin  touted the fact that the legislation at the time would have ended chain migration  preventing newly amnestied illegal aliens from bringing their extended family members to the U.S. \"The DREAM Act would not allow what is known as chain migration \"  Durbin  said. \"In fact  DREAM Act students would have very limited ability to sponsor their family members for legal status.\"\nLast week  Durbin accused Republicans of forcing Lynch  President Obama's African-American nominee to replace Eric Holder  to \"sit in the back of the bus\" until a vote on a controversial sex trafficking bill could be held. That thinly veiled reference to the moment in 1955 when Rosa Parks refused to move from her seat in a Montgomery  Ala.[] bus was meant to paint Senate Republicans as racists.

This week    Melania Trump  found  herself  in yet another fashion scandal.  The first lady  was spotted boarding a plane to Texas in sky-high stilettos  though  she  was heading to an area devastated by Hurricane Harvey. Public perception of  Trump  and  her  immediate predecessor  Michelle Obama  couldn't be more different. Fans of Obama paint  her  as a J. Crew-clad woman of the people. Meanwhile   Trump  was slammed for a photo shoot in which  she  twirled a string of diamonds like spaghetti. For fans of  Trump   glitzy designer clothing is part of  her  appeal. Instagram accounts with thousands of followers track her every outfit. The far-right website Breitbart News  which criticized Obama for wearing a $2 290 dress to meet the pope in 2015  wrote that  Trump  was the \"breakout star\" of President Donald Trump's first trip abroad  radiating \"high fashion.\" To see how accurate  Melania Trump's  frivolous  filthy-rich reputation is in contrast to Obama's more down-to-earth image  we decided to re-create a theoretical \"week in the life\" of the two first ladies. We wanted to see whether  Trump  was actually spending more than Obama  or whether  she  was just a victim of bad press. We compared seven iconic looks that Obama and  Trump  wore to similar events  from vacationing to campaigning  as well as their price tags. Fashion can be a strategic way for the first lady to send a message to the American people — and  Trump  and Obama both have different reputations and messages to send. Here's how the two first ladies measure up and what it means for how Americans see them. View As: One Page Slides\nCampaigning at political conventions  Melania Trump at the Republican National Convention: $2 190 Roksanda dress and $675 Christian Louboutin heels .  Trump  made headlines after buying a Roksanda \"Margot\" dress from Net-a-Porter. The $2 190 dress sold out less than an hour after her speech. She paired the dress with $675 Christian Louboutin heels. Michelle Obama at the Democratic National Convention: $995 dress by Christian Siriano and $675 metallic Jimmy Choo heels. Obama's blue dress was extremely similar to a $995 cobalt-blue dress made by Siriano  a designer who rose to prominence after appearing on \"Project Runway.\" Siriano reportedly custom-made the dress Obama wore as she gave her \"they go low  we go high\" speech. Her silver Jimmy Choo heels  spotted by Footwear News  cost $675.\nMeeting with  foreign leaders Melania Trump  at the G-7 summit: $53 130 Dolce & Gabbana outfit.  Trump  made headlines when  she  wore a $51 500 Dolce & Gabbana jacket to a meeting with the spouses of some of the most powerful world leaders at the annual G-7 summit in Catania  Italy  in May. While we couldn't identify the first lady's dress and shoes   her  bag was also Dolce & Gabbana and costs $1 630. The first lady has worn Dolce & Gabbana on numerous occasions. The designer Stefano Gabbana has been extremely receptive of the support  posting many pictures of Trump in Dolce & Gabbana outfits on his Instagram. Michelle Obama at the G-20 summit: $474 J. Crew outfit. Obama also made headlines on her first trip to the United Kingdom as the first lady in 2009  thanks to her casual yet fashionable looks. The Guardian described her outfits  many of which were from J. Crew  as \"a pitch of sunny  homely optimism  rather than sparkling glamour.\" One of Obama's most memorable outfits of the trip was the one she wore to meet British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Fox News reported that the cardigan cost $298  the tank top $18  and the mint-green pencil skirt $158.\n Charity work Melania Trump at an abuse-prevention nonprofit: $1 150 pair of sandals to complete an otherwise low-key look . Footwear News reported (somewhat snarkily) that  Trump  wore a $1 150 pair of Rene Caovilla sandals to visit HomeSafe in April.  Trump  also wore a $225 pair of L'Agence Margot jeans and an unidentified khaki shirt. Michelle Obama at a food bank: $540 pair of sneakers to complete an otherwise low-key look. In 2009  Obama caused some controversy when she wore a $540 pair of Lanvin sneakers to volunteer at a food bank with Jill Biden. She paired them with a $188 J. Crew sweater.\nJoint addresses to  Congress Melania Trump  at a 2017 joint address to Congress: $5 000 Michael Kors suit jacket.  Trump 's Michael Kors look cost an estimated $9 600  combining a black blazer that cost $5 000 and a matching skirt priced at $4 600. Michelle Obama at the 2015 State of the Union: $1 595 Michael Kors suit jacket. In 2015  Obama wore a suit that had been featured on CBS's political drama \"The Good Wife.\" The $1 595 jacket quickly sold out after the first lady wore it to the State of the Union address.\n Vacation Melania Trump 's return from Camp David: $303 J. Crew and J Brand.  Trump  recently proved that Obama wasn't the only first lady getting clothes from J. Crew. In late August   she  returned from Camp David wearing a $75 pink top from the retailer. Yahoo Style reported that  she  paired the top with $228 pink J Brand jeans and pink patent-leather flats that we couldn't trace (though Vanity Fair reports they're Manolo Blahniks). Michelle Obama exiting Air Force One in shorts: ? Obama faced serious backlash after being spotted leaving Air Force One for a hike of the Grand Canyon in 2009 wearing shorts. Four years later  Obama called the shorts incident one of her biggest fashion regrets. While Time notes that no brand ever \"stepped forward\" to claim the \"unflattering\" shorts  the entire outfit looks very J. Crew. In any case  it's safe to say it wasn't too expensive.\nInauguration — and why the numbers don't tell the full story  Trump 's fashion picks tend to be more expensive than Obama's. But that's not the full story. First  there's the question of custom-made dresses. For the past three inaugurations  the first lady wore a custom-made look. (Obama wore Jason Wu both times  and  Trump  wore a Herve Pierre gown.)  Trump  has reportedly struggled to find designers willing to work with  her . Meanwhile  many of Obama's most iconic looks are made specifically for  her  and are priceless  such as a custom-made Versace gown with a theoretical price tag of $12 000. Then there's the question of why it even matters. First ladies' outfits are not paid for with taxpayer dollars. You could be horrified that anyone could buy a coat that costs more than the average American makes in a year. But if you're going to criticize  Trump  for wearing $1 000 shoes  you have to criticize Obama as well.  Melania Trump's  2017 Inauguration Ball gown: priceless  custom-made Herve Pierre.

An alien star in distant space seems to be acting very strangely . NASA ' s Kepler Space Telescope caught sight of the star as part of the spacecraft ' s hunt for planets outside the solar system   which are also known as exoplanets . Kepler looks for exoplanets by seeing a dip in the light of a star   presumably when a planet passes between its host star and the spacecraft . This eclipse produces a regular   periodic dip in the starlight that can help scientists characterize the planet . But when Kepler caught sight of this star — called KIC 8462852 — it didn ' t see anything resembling a regular   periodic dip in starlight . Instead   the probe saw a more erratic dimming and brightening of the star   nothing like what you ' d expect to see when a planet eclipses . “ We ’ d never seen anything like this star  ” Tabetha Boyajian   a postdoc researcher at Yale told the Atlantic   one of the first publications to report on the finding . “ It was really weird . We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft   but everything checked out .” So   what could this weird star be ? Numerous media outlets   including   to some extent   The Atlantic   have latched onto the idea that it could be an “ alien megastructure ” constructed by an extraterrestrial civilization orbiting that star . Such a structure would be large enough to periodically block light from the star . But the truth is that scientists aren ' t yet sure what could be causing the star to flicker from our perspective   and an “ alien megastructure ” is pretty far down on their list of possible explanations for the light curve . “ It ’ s kind of funny   I don ’ t really know how this ended up going from weird dips in a light curve to alien structures  ” Kepler scientist Steve Howell told Mashable in an interview . “ The alien hypothesis should be a last resort . Something we consider for fun rather than out of seriousness  ” MIT exoplanet scientist Sara Seager told Mashable in an email . In reality   there could be other   very cool explanations for why the star seems so odd . Some people have suggested that there could be a huge swarm of comets surrounding the star   causing its light to dip in and out from Kepler ’ s perspective . A planet that has broken up in orbit around the star    Howell  added   could even cause the odd light dips .  Howell  was also reminded of another star system  he  and  his  colleagues working with Kepler have been studying recently . The strange solar system — named KIC 4150611 — appears to be made up of five stars orbiting one another   a kind of star system never before observed . “ While that ’ s an unusual system   it ’ s certainly not aliens . It ’ s just stars  ”  Howell  said . The KIC 4150611 light curve looks kind of similar to the ones produced by Kepler for KIC 8462852    Howell  said .  Howell  and  his  colleagues haven ’ t yet published their findings   but they hope to in the near future . The KIC 8462852 findings   which have set off the media speculation   were first detailed in a study that has been submitted for publication to the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society   though it has not yet gone all the way through the peer review process . The discoveries were made   in part   thanks to a group of citizen scientists working with Planet Hunters to comb through Kepler data . The initial study didn ’ t mention any kind of “ alien megastructure  ” Howell said . The authors instead opted to discuss some more mundane — and more likely — possibilities for what they were seeing in their data . The first study led to another not - yet - peer - reviewed paper posted to arxiv . org . That website is a repository of electronic preprints   known as e - prints   of scientific papers in fields from mathematics to biology   all of which can be accessed for free . These papers have not yet been fully peer previewed   however   which means their findings should be treated as preliminary . The second paper that appeared on arxiv mentioned what a structure built by aliens might look like and how it might relate to KIC 8462852   but — and this is a crucial detail — that study also made it clear that \" it ' s aliens \" was not necessarily a good explanation for the light curve .  Howell  has offered to take some photos of KIC 8462852 when  his  team uses a ground - based observatory for other observations next week . This could help clear up the mystery of exactly what ’ s going on with that star system . “ In science   I think that we believe Arxiv papers are nice   but if they ’ re not refereed and accepted   then you always have a little skepticism about them or a little concern  ”  Howell  said . “ I don ’ t think [ this ] paper falls into the ‘ crap ’ category   but it ’ s not yet accepted   so we have to take the results that are in it with a little bit of a grain of salt .” For  Howell    all the talk of possible alien structures seen by Kepler hits oddly close to home .  Howell  recently edited a book of short stories called \" A Kepler ’ s Dozen : Thirteen Stories About Distant Worlds That Really Exist  \" which includes a story eerily like this one . The short tale involves a group of aliens that uses giant   opaque sails to block out the light from their sun in order to send messages to other civilizations . This alien race generates a kind of “ Morse Code ” that other civilizations can interpret by reading the light curve produced by the dips . “ It ’ s really fun because now it ’ s like the science fiction story has come true in a sense  \" Howell said .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Pogwizd ?

The president has publicly lambasted his attorney general and noted that had he known in advance of Sessions’s recusal  he would not have appointed him to the post. It was after Sessions’s recusal that Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein appointed Robert S. Mueller III to lead the investigation into the  Trump  campaign and the Kremlin.\n[Jeff Sessions says he plans to stay in role  despite  Trump ’s comments about him]\nIn that context  the letter is likely to be seen by some  especially on the left  as Sessions inappropriately bending to political pressure  perhaps to save his job.

Unmasking is a routine part of intelligence officials’ jobs; officials have said there is no evidence to support  Trump’s  claims that  he  was wiretapped; and while conservatives have sought to cast the Uranium One deal as an example of Clinton taking Russian money to influence U.S. policy  there is no evidence that Clinton participated in any discussions regarding the sale  which was approved during the Obama administration while she was secretary of state.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hillary Clinton ?

According to that reporting  Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele  a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community  who compiled a 35-page dossier on  Trump .

With allegations of sexual misconduct now swirling around U.S. Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore  the left and the liberal media are finally starting to take stock of their long-running defense of their favorite accused rapist and serial philanderer   Bill Clinton .\nConsider the liberal publication “The Atlantic ” which has published a story with this headline and introduction: “Bill Clinton: A Reckoning. Feminists saved the 42nd president of the United States in the 1990s. They were on the wrong side of history; is it finally time to make things right?\"\n“The accusers of Bill Clinton back in the '90s were never given the credence and treated with the same respect that [Moore’s accusers] are being treated ” CNN’s Jake Tapper said. “And I think that there is something to be said about how society has evolved since then but  in addition  it's hard not to look back at that period and think: you know what  the media treated those women poorly.”\nMembers of the mainstream media are actually starting to realize that what  Bill Clinton  did was beyond disgraceful. From sodomizing an intern to groping women to the alleged rape of Juanita Broaddrick  the allegations against  Clinton  have been known for years. Those of us who objected at the time were told by these same media outlets that all of this was his personal business. It did not “rise to the level of impeachment.”\nTwo decades later  the biased left-wing media outlets are coming to terms with what they said and did and how they covered it all up. Paula Jones  Gennifer Flowers  Kathleen Willey and several more women have all told how they were dismissed  smeared and left by the side of the road by the  Clinton  machine and the mainstream media.\nTo be sure  there was a reckoning in court. In 1998   Bill Clinton  ended up paying Paula Jones $850 000 in an out-of-court settlement for her to drop her sexual harassment charges against  him . And in a related case   Bill Clinton  actually lost  his  license to practice law in Arkansas for five years. And we know  Clinton  was impeached.\nBut to the media   he  remained a darling and a lovable rogue. What has changed? Well  maybe the media  like so many in the Democratic Party  is finally done with the Clintons. Maybe they want to look consistent when they go after Roy Moore  whose alleged transgressions pale in comparison.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Clinton ? Former President Bill Clinton  is reportedly facing a new round of charges of sexual assault from four women  who claim the incidents occurred after  Clinton  left the White House in 2001.\nAuthor and journalist Ed Klein reports in the Daily Mail that attorneys have notified  Clinton  that they are preparing to file four separate lawsuits against  him . Klein says a member of  Clinton ’s legal team has confirmed the existence of the allegations to  him .\n Clinton ’s history of sexual misconduct both before and during  his  presidency returned to the spotlight in 2016 and again in 2017 during  his  wife Hillary’s failed presidential bid and more recently amid new allegations of sexual misconduct against a plethora of politicians  journalists  and Hollywood celebrities.\nSen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said last week that  Clinton  should have resigned the presidency in the wake of his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. It forms part of a broader re-evaluation of  Clinton ’s conduct by Democrats and left-wing media pundits.\nKlein  who has written a number of sensationalist books including All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump  reports that the women were employed in “low-level positions” at an organization owned by playboy billionaire Ron Burkle.

He also reports that  Hillary Clinton  is “furious” with Bill for getting stuck in another scandal and offered to hire private detectives to dig up dirt on the women — but  Clinton ’s attorneys said no.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Clinton ? It is fascinating and welcome to see liberals discovering their consciences on  Bill Clinton’s  alleged rapist tendencies. True  this moral revelation comes about two decades later than it should have  and at precisely the moment the Left can no longer reasonably ignore it and not a moment sooner.\nJust the same  it is nice to finally see some honesty on this issue. It is nice to see liberals  having no more use for the Clintons  finally undertaking what MSNBC host Chris Hayes calls “a real reckoning” with the very real possibility that  Bill Clinton  raped Juanita Broaddrick nearly 40 years ago.\nAnd yet. One is tempted to believe we’re witnessing not a “reckoning” but a quick and guilty kind of moral shrug  a sort of Kansas City shuffle meant to absolve a bunch of deeply culpable people of their own deep and stinking culpability. For a real “reckoning” of American liberalism’s wink-nod approach to  Bill Clinton’s  alleged sex crimes would implicate American liberalism itself  or at least the last few decades of it. That is understandably not something many liberals are willing to do.\nA great example of this evasive genre can be found at The Atlantic  where Caitlin Flanagan has written an article titled  simply  “ Bill Clinton : A Reckoning.” The article itself is actually not a reckoning of  Bill Clinton  or even an overture toward a reckoning.\nIndeed  Flanagan only comes to the sexual assault allegations leveled at  Clinton  only about two-thirds of the way through  after bringing up Clarence Thomas’s alleged sexual harassment of Anita Hill. She places most of the blame for  Clinton  on “machine feminism” rather than Democratic opportunism  then lamely asserts Democrats need to “come to terms” with how they “abandoned some of [their] central principles” in their unthinking defense of  Clinton .\nAlmost as an afterthought  Goldberg writes: “It’s fair to conclude  that because of Broaddrick’s allegations   Bill Clinton  no longer has a place in decent society.” Goodness  after two decades this is the best we can manage?\nEven Hayes’s own viral tweet is couched in a tired and evasive formula. “As gross and cynical and hypocrtical [sic] as the right’s ‘what about  Bill Clinton ’ stuff is ”  he  wrote  “it’s also true that Democrats and the center left are overdue for a real reckoning with the allegations against  him .” Got it: so the Right is “gross and cynical and hypocritical” regarding the Left’s steadfast avoidance of  Bill Clinton’s  alleged sex crimes  but we’re also correct? Are liberals capable of discussing  Clinton ’s sordid history without having to obsessively refer back to conservatives?\nThey Let  Bill Clinton  Keep Legitimacy for 18 More Years\nThere is a deeper and more cynical politics at work here. “Reckoning” with  Bill Clinton’s  alleged crimes is not just a matter of the Democratic Party saying sorry for not believing Broaddrick in 1999.  Bill Clinton  has remained a prominent fixture of the party in the intervening 18 years  including as a major fundraiser during  his  wife’s two failed campaigns for president and as a stump for other Democrats  including President Obama.\nProgressives  meanwhile  adore  him . “ Bill Clinton  couldn’t keep it in  his  pants  but  he  was a great president!” one very liberal woman told me years ago. Broaddrick would surely agree with the first part. Summing up the feelings of millions of progressive millennials  comedian John Mulaney described  Clinton  as a “smooth and fantastic hillbilly who should be declared emperor of the United State of America.” This kind of hero-worship is only possible if one disbelieves Broaddrick’s testimony entirely—testimony that  20 years on  remains very credible.\nA “reckoning” of the accusations against  Bill Clinton  must thus also function as a reckoning of the last couple of decades of Democratic politics  a politics that has featured  Bill Clinton  as an ancillary yet still near-permanent fixture. Every Democrat has known of Broaddrick’s accusations for years. Yet  Bill Clinton  was still eagerly accepted within “decent society ” and  his  wife—who is quite reasonably seen as both an apologist for her husband’s perverted behavior and possibly a criminal conspirator regarding his crimes—became the standard-bearer of the Democratic Party itself in the last election.\nTo reckon with all of this means to reckon with the Democratic party in toto—its political instincts  its morals  and its public credibility and future viability.The Left predictably isn’t very keen to do that. So we get what we’ve witnessed in the past week: liberals feigning a kind of come-to-Jesus public confessional over  Bill Clinton  while ultimately just complaining about conservatives.\nIt is true that  in the end  we do not know if  Bill Clinton  raped Broaddrick. It is virtually impossible to prove  it  one way or the other  as  it  generally is with these types of claims. It would not be wholly unreasonable for someone to doubt Broaddrick after a careful review of the evidence. Then again  her claim  and the evidence surrounding it  is compelling enough to be believable  more so than many.\nSo what does it say about the Democratic Party that it has nevertheless allowed  Bill Clinton  a revered and permanent spot in its ranks? And what does it say about liberals that  even now  after all of this time  they cannot truly come to grips with it?", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Smith’s  emotive voice can be a real asset  somewhat flexibly conveying feeling.\nThe hit “Too Good at Goodbyes” and the second track “Say it First” seem to indicate that  Smith  is setting out to be a male counterpart to Adele.  His  voice is dynamic in the way it bends. While  his  singing is not as boomingly confident as Adele’s   his  voice is able to zig and zag  even as it maneuvers into an occasionally whisper-y falsetto.\nIn addition to aiming for Adele’s turf   Smith  is going for a classic R&B and gospel vibe. That can be heard on both “One Last Song” and “Midnight Train ” the latter of which sounds like a soulful answer to Radiohead’s “Creep.”\n Smith  gets more righteous on “HIM” and gets softly groovy on “Baby  You Make Me Crazy.” Sometimes  Smith ’s higher register can be a tad grating. However   he  can somehow slightly irritate and entertain simultaneously.  He  duets successfully with up-and-coming singer Yebba on “No Peace ” and hits a sweet spot with the slow-burning “Palace.”\nThis record feels more lived-in and fully realized than  his  debut. Each of the songs on its own is decent  but you get the feeling once you finish with the closer (and second single) “Pray ” that  Smith  is taking the easy route.  He  should stretch beyond the ballads  as  he 's capable of more.

The Lennonesque edginess in Wall Of Glass  the guitar chords and rhythms in Bold that recall Across The Universe  the tambourine beat and waltz time of You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away resurrected for When I’m In Need  even the title of the track You Better Run and the lyric that quotes “happiness is a warm gun” — all of these elements a debt to The Beatles that  Gallagher  freely acknowledges.\nLooking back at the antics of  his  younger days   Gallagher  says  “I was drinking too much.\" (Photo: Bebeto Matthews  Associated Press)\nAs You Were also confirms that  he ’s back at full strength after a long hiatus. “A lot of personal stuff was going on ”  he  says. “I was drinking too much. Then I thought  “You know what? I’m gonna go live in Spain  get me head together and get some sun on me bones.’”\nSomehow  that didn’t happen. But  he  did pick up  his  guitar and  to  his  surprise  out came a new song  ‘Bold.’ “Obviously I didn’t write it in a day — I wrote it in half a day ”  he  remembers.\nOthers followed quickly. “I didn’t go  ‘I just write a song because I’m not famous anymore and I must get back to the top of the charts ’”  he  explains. “There’s none of that nonsense. I don’t need to get any more famous. God  no. I didn’t miss it terribly. I just wanted the universe to plow me some songs  which it did. If you’re good to rock ‘n’ roll  it’ll be good to you. And I’ve been good to rock ‘n’ roll.”\n His  voice showed no rust  either. “I should have taken better care of it ”  he  admits. “But I’m a snarly rock ‘n’ roll singer. You don’t want to start watering it down because you’ll end up sounding like Noel Gallagher. And we don’t want that.”\nMaybe not. But neither does  Liam  feel apologetic for sinking  his  sound even deeper into the bedrock of the 1960s with As You Were. “Yeah  maybe I wish I’d been around back then ” he concedes. “These days there’s a lot of genres  which I guess is a good thing but it can also get in the way. I’d have liked the times when it was just The Stones  The Kinks  The Who  The Small Faces  The Beatles and all that stuff. I reckon they were more my people.”", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity. Sentiments can be Positive, Neutral and Negative.

It was Petty who hired  Wallace  last October to drive  his  famous No. 43 stock car  making  him  the first black driver to race regularly at NASCAR’s top level since Scott in 1971. In fact  Scott had been the only African-American to race regularly at NASCAR’s top level.\nWhen Almirola  then Petty’s driver  was injured last season   Wallace  replaced  him  for four races  doing better in each race. Petty had hired  Wallace  before Almirola even jumped to Stewart-Haas Racing in the offseason  taking Danica Patrick’s spot.\nPetty said he hired  Wallace  because of his vast potential  not his skin color. But diversity is important to NASCAR  which is trying to appeal to younger fans to fortify sagging TV ratings and live attendance. Essentially   Wallace  replaced Patrick  who wrecked Sunday in what she said would be her last NASCAR race  finishing 35th.\nPatrick never finished in the top five in 191 top-series races  but  Wallace  can top that now. He received a good-luck call before the race from Hammerin’ Hank Aaron. The four-time Formula One champion  Lewis Hamilton  who is black  also tweeted his best wishes.\n“Luckily I was sitting down when I was replying to him ”  Wallace  said Sunday of Hamilton. “I think I was taking a golf cart ride out to an appearance and I replied back. Really cool and really special for Hank Aaron also to call right there before was really special  and just knowing that people are tuning in and hopefully noticing the new face and the new change that's coming to NASCAR and they get behind it and support it.

He  then ran near the front all afternoon in a race that was splotched by three big wrecks.  Wallace  avoided them all and won a joust with Denny Hamlin to finish second.\nThe next race is Sunday at Atlanta  an event that is much less prestigious than Daytona.

Jonathan Swift  we need you more than ever.\nThis week marks the 350th birthday of the brilliant Irish writer  born Nov. 30  1667. That we know of  Swift  at all is one of the sweetest fortunes of literary history.  His  father died of syphilis before Jonathan was born. A wet nurse whisked him to England for three years. He depended on the generosity of an uncle. He was almost killed by a mail bomb. But despite those precarious turns   Swift  became a poet  a priest  a political operator and  of course  the greatest satirist in the English language.\nThe longevity of  Swift ’s work is a testament to its potency because no genre fades as quickly: Satires are the cut flowers of literature. Time wilts their wit  fading their bright colors like old political cartoons that poke fun at fat cats we no longer recognize. (Voltaire adored Samuel Butler’s 1663 mock heroic poem “Hudibras ” but try reading it now without footnotes.)\n[Jonathan Swift: Not (entirely) the misanthrope you thought you knew]\nW.B. Yeats knew what he was talking about when he said of  Swift   “Imitate him if you dare.”\nConsider the remarkable persistence of “A Modest Proposal ” published anonymously in 1729.  Swift ’s ironic phrase is such a hardy part of our language that it’s easy to forget how unlikely it is that we’d still be referring to a 3 000-word political pamphlet almost 300 years later. Originally titled “A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People From Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country  and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public ” the essay burns with rage at a privileged class willing to ignore and rationalize human suffering. Although the plight of starving Irishmen may be unimaginable to us today  the centuries have done nothing to mute  Swift ’s savage indignation.  He  still sounds as timely as last night’s “Daily Show.”\nIf you haven’t read “A Modest Proposal” since high school  look it up again and be astounded. Speaking in the voice of a perfectly reasonable bureaucrat   Swift  begins by describing the piteous state of beggars and their children “all in rags  and importuning every passenger for an alms.” In response to this “deplorable state ”  he  announces a solution  “having no other motive than the publick good of my country  by advancing our trade  providing for infants  relieving the poor  and giving some pleasure to the rich”:\nMuch of Swift’s essay is taken up with various statistics and logistical explanations  a hellacious spreadsheet of infant flesh to lay out the case for utilizing 100 000 children nursed to approximately 28 pounds each. In those well-modulated sentences   Swift  washes individuals and their pain away. As John Stubbs writes in his recent biography   Swift  possessed an “unequalled capacity to endow a ludicrous line of argument with an air of steadfast reason.” The bloody solution of “A Modest Proposal” is easy to laugh off as a bit of grotesque hyperbole  but the real horror of the essay remains its bland  bureaucratic tone — the same sterile language of accounting that justified American slavery  the Holocaust or any scheme that slices human lives into the columns of a ledger.\nIf politicians haven’t changed their menu much in 300 years  the rest of us still face the same risk of indigestion. Remember that “Gulliver’s Travels” ends with the intrepid narrator isolated and disgusted. Orwell assumed that Gulliver reflected his creator’s morose character and claimed that  Swift  suffered from a “general hatred of humanity” stoked by a perverse obsession with mankind’s sins and weaknesses. Stubbs argues that the image of  Swift  as a “misanthropic monster” is not entirely fair  but Gulliver’s fate is instructive  nonetheless.\nNow that we’re all strident critics trading the day’s outrages across Twitter and the dining room table  how are we to avoid being sickened by our own bitter indignation? The bile in a satirist’s mind must be balanced with hope  or the whole enterprise is doomed. Surely   Swift  wouldn’t have bothered to poke fun at cruelty  incompetence and hypocrisy unless  he  believed  on some level  that such scalding exposure could awaken a better nature.\nOn  his  350th birthday  it’s good to remember that despair is the satirist’s temptation and the citizen’s poison.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Taylor Swift ? Call  her  what you want to  but  Taylor Swift  knows how to write a song.\n She  also can craft a stirring poem about reinvention  which  she  chose to share instead of a traditional profile for British Vogue.

However  the pop star was honored among many “Silence Breakers” for Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. In the magazine   she  opened up about  her  sexual assault case that went to trial this summer.\n“You might be made to feel like you’re overreacting  because society has made this stuff seem so casual ”  she  wrote in response to Time’s questions. “My advice is that you not blame yourself and do not accept the blame others will try to place on you.”", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity A. E. Housman ? The 63 lyrics in that book  first published in 1896  have a purity of speech and intensity of feeling that lent the collection the aura of a classic from the moment of its appearance. “You may read it in half-an-hour ” said one early reviewer of the book  “but there are things in it you will scarce forget in a lifetime.” What  Housman  writes about  almost without exception  is sorrow: lost love  nostalgia  mutability  grief  and death.  He  seems to understand everything about the pain of life  and the beauty of that pain—the way suffering itself can become a source of bittersweet pleasure.  He  is a poet who can’t listen to a blackbird sing without hearing a summons to the grave:\nYet as the English biographer and journalist Peter Parker shows in Housman Country  his new study of the poet’s work and legacy  “luckless lads” who came to  Housman  prepared to open their hearts were shocked by the wary  acerbic  pedantic man they encountered.  His  obituary in The Times of London described  him  as “so unapproachable as to diffuse a frost … [ He ] appeared of all men least tolerant of sentiment.” When the novelist E. M. Forster wrote to  Housman  expressing enthusiasm for  his  poetry   Housman  responded with a letter that Forster described as “absolutely hateful … I was so disappointed and hurt that I destroyed it after one rapid perusal.” Another writer was stunned  too. “Far from believing that man wrote [A] Shropshire Lad ” he said after meeting  Housman   “I shouldn’t even have thought  him  capable of reading it!”\nTo perceptive observers  however  the vast gulf between the poetry and the poet only added to  Housman ’s pathos. Clearly this was a man so sensitive to pain that  he  had to wear heavy emotional armor. Indeed  the poems themselves are often about the deflection of feeling by an ironic stoicism  which ends up highlighting the very emotion it is meant to conceal. What  readers from the beginning must have wondered  was the wound behind  Housman ’s bow? What made  him  so well acquainted with grief?\nThis was a matter for speculation and rumor during  Housman ’s lifetime ( the man  wasn’t about to give anything away)  but the answer has long since been established as a central part of  his  legend. In 1879  when  he  was 20 years old and a star student at Oxford   Housman  fell in love with a classmate  Moses Jackson—a hearty  athletic  and entirely straight man. In  his  distress that  his  romantic feelings were not reciprocated   Housman  ended up failing  his  final exams  to the shock of  his  teachers and family. Although  he  eventually did become a classical scholar   his  career was sidetracked for a decade by the fiasco.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Disney had hoped  Murdoch  would own 100 percent of the European broadcaster by the time it completed its takeover.\n Murdoch ’s Twenty-First Century Fox agreed to buy the 61 percent of Sky it did not already own in December 2016  re-igniting a political row in Britain about the influence he wields through his ownership of newspapers the Sun and the Times and his stake in Sky  the biggest pay-TV platform.\nCritics of the deal argue that  Murdoch  could hold sway over the editorial output of Sky News  a loss making but award-winning 24-hour channel.

Spotify's Unusual IPO Model Will Test The Company's Strength\nSpotify  the popular music streaming service  will officially take the company public this spring and is planning a very unconventional IPO — short for \"initial public offering\" — that has investors talking.\nWith  Spotify 's IPO  the narrative so far has been that this is yet another tech company innovating and \"disrupting\" investment banking. But that image is starting to erode.\nTypically with IPOs  the company going public hires a big investment bank to both issue new shares and then go out and sell them. But  Spotify  plans to simply list  its  shares on the New York Stock Exchange and let them trade. That practice isn't done very often.\n\"To me  that is very analogous to a person that puts a sign out on the street and says 'this property is for sale by owner ' \" Parker says. \"Spotify  by doing this  is very confident that the public already understands Spotify's value  and that it does not need others to tell the story.\"\nSome analysts estimate this could save the company as much as $300 million in fees. Spotify's current private investors can also simply cash out without waiting for the traditional lock-in period to end. From this perspective  a direct listing is just a more efficient way to IPO.\nSmith says that in 2016  Spotify  got an unusual loan from a group of private investment firms  including Goldman Sachs. The investors demanded a number of conditions to the loan  \"suggesting that the investors thought the company's private valuation was way too high \" she explains.\n Spotify  boasts 140 million users  but most of them don't pay. They listen to the ad-supported stream. Ad revenue is only $300 million a year — a fraction of what the service truly costs.\nSo if  Spotify 's plans are successful   it  would be positioned to take advantage of that growth. But right now   Spotify  is still an unprofitable company  pushed towards an IPO by private equity firms eager to cash out. Smith thinks mom and pop investors aren't buying  it .\nSpotify's IPO is scheduled for late March or early April.

What  Qader  has built is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence  reams of biomedical data and various algorithms to essentially \"read\" mammogram images  spotting and diagnosing abnormalities quickly and at low cost — a potential boon to developing countries  where access to doctors and health care can be limited. The technology is still in the testing stage  says  Qader .\n Qader  acknowledges that interpreting mammograms is usually the task of radiologists  but  his  goal is not to replace human physicians   he  says  but to help them — particularly in areas  often in low-income countries like Afghanistan  where trained physicians can be scarce.  Qader  believes  his  technology can aid doctors by quickly pinpointing diagnoses to allow for earlier and better care. Although there are mammogram machines in Afghanistan there are not enough skilled doctors to read the results   he  says. \"They have the hardware — it's only getting cheaper — but not the manpower.\"\nHe's not the only one who thinks so. After meeting  Qader  at Google's I/O developer conference in May 2017  Google CEO Sundar Pichai and chairman Eric Schmidt sent him Twitter shout-outs.\n Qader  also presented a TEDxTeen talk in London about  his  quest to apply machine-learning technology to health care in the developing world: \"How I Searched My Way to a Cure.\"\nIt's the story of an immigrant family seeking the American dream and of a kid whose curiosity led him to become a budding entrepreneur.  Qader  was born in Afghanistan in 1999 and came to Chicago with  his  parents when  he  was only a few months old.  He  grew up surrounded by aunts  uncles and cousins  all of them   he  says  \"trying to figure out\" how to make new lives in their new country. A key ingredient   his  family taught  him   was helping people: \"If we were in the position that we could help ourselves  we could help others. That is the philosophy I grew up with and that has always helped me.\"\n\"This is how he is \" says his mother  Roya Qader. He returned from their family trip to Afghanistan asking  \"Why people there don't have the opportunities that he had to study. And what could he do to help people there?\"", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kymriah ? The drug  called  Kymriah   is a highly personalized cancer treatment called CAR T-cell therapy (CAR is short for chimeric antigen receptor).\nThe FDA approved  Kymriah  to treat pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia in people up to age 25.\nThe one-time treatment isn't cheap: Novartis  which makes  Kymriah   on Wednesday said the price would be $475 000  which is lower than many expected. Only about 600 people a year could get this treatment  based on Wednesday's approval. Even so  the approval has industry experts and cancer doctors excited.\nHow  Kymriah  works\n Kymriah  isn't your run-of-the-mill pill — or even a biologic drug  like insulin — that can be mass produced. Since the therapy is made from a person's own immune system  the process can take about three weeks.\nWhile that's a one-time process  it's not the end of the road. About half of the patients in a Kymriah study got cytokine-release syndrome  a response to the reprogrammed cells running loose in the body. It can cause high fevers and flu-like symptoms  and it can be life-threatening. If they get it  patients need to be admitted to intensive-care units  which can bring additional costs. (The FDA on Wednesday expanded the approval of Actemra  a rheumatoid-arthritis drug that can also treat cytokine-release syndrome.)\nIn a trial of 63 patients treated with Kymriah  83% were in remission after three months  and 64% were still in remission after a year.\nKymriah is the first CAR-T cell therapy to get approved  and several more are in the works. Kite Pharma  Juno Therapeutics  and Bluebird Bio are among a growing group of biotech companies working with CAR-T. Kite  which was recently acquired by Gilead Sciences  is expected to hear back from the FDA about its treatment for aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma by November.\n\"We're at the very beginning of what's going to be a big new field of medicine \" said  David Epstein  who helped license Kymriah from the University of Pennsylvania while at Novartis .\n Epstein  left Novartis in 2016 as CEO of its pharmaceuticals divisions.  He 's now the executive chairman of Rubius Therapeutics  a biotech firm that's also working with cell therapy to develop treatments like  Kymriah  that don't have to be as personalized. The hope is that one day doctors will be able to prescribe a cell therapy and use it that same day instead of waiting weeks to get it back.\n Epstein  said  he  envisioned cell therapies having much shorter life cycles than traditional drugs. Instead of getting a better  updated therapy for a disease every decade or so  we might begin to see second-generation cell therapies in a few years.\nThose updates could increase the number of patients that cell therapies can treat. The 600 or so people a year eligible for  Kymriah  now could become tens of thousands  but  it  would require some major changes   Epstein  said.\nFor one  the treatments would have to treat more types of cancer than the one  Kymriah  was approved for on Wednesday.\nAnd to affect more people  the cell therapies would need to go beyond blood cancers. Right now  that's where most of the big successes have come from  but that could one day include solid tumors and maybe even autoimmune diseases like Type 1 diabetes   Epstein  said.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dan Doctoroff ? “For the foreseeable future this will be the primary focus of what we do ”  Dan Doctoroff  the chief executive of Sidewalk Labs   said in an interview.\nOne of the first projects Sidewalk Labs will take on is a sensor-based technology to manage crowds on a nearby street often filled with a potent mix of pedestrians  cyclists and motorized traffic  which  Doctoroff  said could be tested as early as the first quarter of 2018.\n He  said  the company  was also looking to integrate self-driving technology into the project over the longer term.\nCanada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Sidewalk Labs  CEO Dan Doctoroff (R)  look at city models built by children before a press conference where Alphabet Inc  the owner of Google  announced the project \"Sidewalk Toronto\"  that will develop an area of Toronto's waterfront using new technologies to develop high-tech urban areas in Toronto  Ontario  Canada October 17  2017.

Mueller III and Attorney General John Ashcroft began to brief Bush . \n\"They talked about how the terrorists got plane tickets , got on planes , moved from one airport to another , and then attacked our citizens ,\" Andy Card , Bush 's chief of staff , told me for my book \"The Secrets of the FBI .\" \nBy tripling the number of drones on order , Bush made it possible for President Obama to take out dozens of key al-Qaida leaders . \nAnd as Leon Panetta said when he was CIA director , Bush 's coercive interrogation techniques , including waterboarding , provided clues that helped lead to Osama bin Laden 's compound in Pakistan . \nOver time , Bush will be seen in the same light , recognized for keeping us safe and winning the war on terror . \nIn 2005 , Bush established the National Counterterrorism Center in McLean , Va. , where 200 analysts from the CIA and FBI sit side by side analyzing threats 24 hours a day . \nInstead of hailing the efforts to connect the dots , the media demonize Bush and those who are trying to protect us , portraying the tools that uncover clues to plots as \"spying on innocent Americans .\" \nThe National Security Agency -LRB- NSA -RRB- intercepts ordered by Bush opened for the FBI a window on terrorist activity within the U.S. . \nMany in the media could not bear to hear that Bush might have been at least partially right about Saddam , and few newspapers reported the story .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity George W Bush ?

Bush administration entered office , its initial focus was on China and military transformation . \n31 On September 17 , Bush told his advisors : \"I believe Iraq was involved .\" \nThe fifth was impatience on the part of the Bush team to wait for the results of the arms inspectors who were making progress in Iraq , results that could have obviated the need for war . \nA week after the attack , Wolfowitz began sending memos to Rumsfeld making the case for an attack on Iraq .34 Cheney soon began talking about Iraq as a threat to peace .35 Bush told the British prime minister , Tony Blair , in mid-September that Iraq was not the immediate problem .36 But that changed after the fall of Kabul .37 . \nThat all changed on September 11 , 2001.10 Initially , Bush , Wolfowitz and others thought that Iraq might be behind the attacks .11 So did a large majority of the American people , a belief reinforced by the speculation of administration officials . \nIt became clear that this was not the case , as Bush finally revealed ,12 but for many this connection stuck . \nBush indicated that as soon as the Taliban were driven from Afghanistan , he would turn his attention to Saddam .13 . \nIn March of 2002 , Bush informally told a group of senators : \"We 're taking him -LSB- Saddam -RSB- out .\" \nBureaucratically they formed the leading position within the Bush administration in 2002 , with Cheney dominating the White House and Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz controlling Defense . \nCheney had daily contact with Bush and was his closest advisor on national security matters . \nThe CIA had missed several indications that might have given specific warning about the September 11 attack and was not about to be caught off guard again .15 Because the Bush administration had not acted on more-general intelligence warnings of the al Qaeda threat to the U.S. homeland , it would take any future warning much more seriously . \nThe intelligence that Bush and others received was based on outdated and incorrect evidence , material from untrustworthy human sources , and worst-case analysis .70 The United States had no reliable intelligence assets in Iraq .71 International WMD inspectors had been kicked out of Iraq since 1998 ; so in that sense Saddam brought this about himself . \nOn November 21 , 2001 , Bush asked that the war plan for Iraq be secretly updated , which shocked the military .38 By the end of December 2001 , Central Command -LRB- CENTCOM -RRB- Commander Tommy Franks was at the Bush ranch in Crawford , Texas , briefing the President and his national security team on the war plan .39 .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity George W Bush ?

A Morgan Stanley analyst and Tesla bull teased a merger with  SpaceX.\nTesla  wouldn't gain any meaningful synergies from a tie-up  but  its  business would become more complicated.\nLast year   Tesla  merged with struggling SolarCity  making Elon Musk CEO of both companies. The tie-up hasn't hurt  Tesla  in 2017 as the company's stock has surged above $300 per share and the combined enterprise hit a market capitalization of over $50 billion.\nThat doesn't mean it wasn't a terrible deal.  Tesla's balance sheet  instantly became loaded up with SolarCity debt  and what had been primarily a carmaker was suddenly responsible for rolling out a new solar roof product  at a time when  it  should have been all-hands-on-deck to launch the Model 3 mass-market vehicle.\nThe Model 3 is woefully behind schedule at this point  and although the solar roof is compelling  The Solar City side of  Tesla  business isn't any more coherent than it was a year ago.\nMusk is also CEO of SpaceX  and last week Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas teased a merger with  Tesla   arguing that such a deal would yield powerful synergies. The financial mechanics of how a  SpaceX-Tesla  merger would happen are both speculative and unclear; in July  SpaceX raised $350 million  bringing it valuation to $21 billion. An IPO has long been discussed.\nBut maybe Musk doesn't want to be running another public company. He's expressed some exasperation with playing that role at  Tesla   where investors have the carmaker under constant scrutiny and short sellers are always circling like sharks. SpaceX's mission is ultimately more ambitious than Tesla's — the whole go-to-Mars thing — and the company have been wowing the the space community by routinely launching and landing rockets.\n Tesla  doesn't have enough cash to buy SpaceX outright  so investors would have to accept a largely stock-based deal  and that might make sense to many of them: since  its  own 2010 IPO   Tesla  shares have returned over 1 ooo%  and several analysts have said that the stock hundreds of dollars of upside potential from  its  current level.\nUnfortunately  a Tesla-SpaceX merger would raise a major issue: unlike SolarCity  the company wouldn't be shifting a massive amount of debt to  Tesla 's balance sheet  but it would be shifting monumental risk. Space is dauntingly expensive when everything is going right but ruinously costly when things go wrong. That's why governments  for the most part  have been the only ones aiming for large-scale goals in the final frontier.  Tesla-SpaceX  would expose  Tesla  to colossal losses at a time when  it 's already posting record negative earnings.\nOn the positive side   Tesla  would have access to  SpaceX 's goodwill with investors and  the company 's cash  around $1 billion. Nevertheless   Tesla  balance sheet would become almost incomprehensible  as auto  energy  and aerospace analysts all struggle to figure out what the diverse conglomerate — with a theoretical $70-billion market cap — is worth. It's already a challenge to independently value the car  energy  and solar businesses (the default position is to kick solar and energy down the road and rightly ascribe almost all of  Tesla 's value to cars).\nIf  Tesla  gains from a SpaceX merger   it  could be the deal of the decade. SpaceX investors would potentially receive a much fatter payout (if they think  Tesla  has tremendous long-terms prospects)  and Musk would be able to neatly avoid the pressure to handle two rounds of quarterly financial reporting and a whole new batch of prognosticators and short-sellers.\nOn the other hand  merging with SpaceX could yield almost zero synergies — the car business and the aerospace industry might look similar but they're actually radically different — and add so much risk and volatility to  Tesla  already risky and volatile business that  Tesla  shares could get hammered and  the company  would see  its  access to capital reduced at precisely the wrong time.\nIf I were betting  I'd say that  Tesla  and SpaceX actually will merge  perhaps against some heavy SpaceX investors complaints.  Tesla  got away with  it  on SolarCity  Musk detests being the CEO of a public company  and SpaceX is really his baby. And  Tesla  stock has become a super currency  opening up all manner of financial options.\nFinally  the long stock-market rally that we've experienced in the aftermath of the financial crisis can last forever.  Tesla  got in early and has benefitted enormously. SpaceX might not be so lucky. The biggest risk to  the company  might be that despite its triumphs  it would be out there by itself nad subject to market forces that have nothing to do with its mission.\nA merger with  Tesla  would save Musk from having to pull a SolarCity  Part Deux  and ride to rescue if SpaceX gets in trouble.\nGet the latest  Tesla  stock price here.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tesla ?

In the Florida Keys  a shortage of affordable housing has become a crisis after Hurricane Irma. More than 27 000 homes were damaged or destroyed by Irma's high winds and storm surge. A lot of those were mobile homes or trailers. And  NPR's Greg Allen  reports that this is having an impact on the service and tourist economy in the Keys.\n ALLEN : Yeah. How many do you think are gone now?\n ALLEN : Todd Sabin has lived in the Driftwood Trailer Park for decades. He's retired now. He and his wife are lucky. When they returned after Irma  their mobile home was intact. Most others weren't as fortunate. Some received enough damage that their mobile homes are slated for demolition. For many like Sabin  this is a second home.\n ALLEN : Sabin's longtime neighbor Jimmy Aurelio has stopped by. He's moving out. He owns his own business - a towing company. He's staying with a friend for now but says he's looking for a new place to live in the Keys.\n ALLEN : Steve Miller has lived on Big Pine Key for 35 years. Like more than a dozen of his neighbors  his mobile home was destroyed in Hurricane Irma. This island has long been one of the most affordable places to live in the Keys. One reason for that  Miller says  are the mobile homes - many of them old but available for rent.\n ALLEN : Miller says he has many friends who have already left. He worries many more will follow unless local officials act quickly to make more affordable housing available for the people who staff the Keys' restaurants  hotels  schools and hospitals. But in the Keys  like other resort communities  proposals to build workforce housing are often met with strong opposition. At a recent county commission meeting  Bill Hunter was one of several residents worried that workforce housing would increase density and traffic in his neighborhood.\n ALLEN : This problem  the need for workforce housing  isn't a new issue here. County Commissioner Heather Carruthers says over the last several years  with incentives and help from the county  developers have built more than 800 units reserved for workforce housing. But she says Irma has turned a longstanding problem into a crisis. Carruthers says it's about more than protecting the vital tourist economy.\n ALLEN : Carruthers says the county is looking at available land where it can build workforce housing. But she knows that's something many residents will oppose.\n ALLEN : Carruthers acknowledges that even the fastest plans to build more workforce housing will take a year or more to carry out. That does little to help workers who are struggling to find a place in the Keys where they can afford to live right now.

Bush delivers a speech to crew onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln to declare combat operations over in Iraq , as the carrier steamed toward San Diego , California on May 1 , 2003 . \nBush felt a heavy burden of responsibility for protecting the nation . \nThey included the chairman of Bush 's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board , Brent Scowcroft ; the former CENTCOM commander Anthony Zinni , and the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee , Ike Skelton . \nWhen George W. Bush entered office , \"nation building\" was anathema . \nHe also felt that those pushing for war had no idea that the war might last ten years .52 Skelton sent Bush multiple questions about the cost and duration of the occupation , noting that he should not \"take the first step without considering the last .\" \nBush 's decision-making style was based on his gut instincts .58 His snap judgment that somehow Saddam was behind September 11 , or might be behind the next attack on America , remained with him . \n-- President George W. Bush , State of the Union , January 29 , 2002 . \nOnce it became clear that Bush was on a track to war , they sought to find a diplomatic exit or , failing that , to garner international support and create legitimacy for an invasion . \nThe fact that Saddam \"tried to kill -LSB- his -RSB- dad\" weighed on Bush 's decision making . \nPresident George W. Bush 's decision to invade Iraq on March 20 , 2003 , was not a blunder on the scale of those of Napoleon , Hitler and Tojo . \nPowell also told Bush that the United States would \"own\" Iraq after an invasion and that it would dominate all other foreign - policy initiatives . \nBush 's decision-making style was based on his gut instincts . \nBush was reelected in November of 2004 as much because of as despite his invasion of Iraq . \nInspections were moving too slowly for the Bush team . \nThis unfinished business concerned Bush directly . \nBush considered himself to be \"the decider .\" \nIn this environment different factors conspired to lead Bush to a decision to pursue an optional war that most Americans believe in retrospect did much more harm than good to their interests . \nBush felt that September 11 was the \"Pearl Harbor of the 21st Century ,\" 59 and that his new and transcending purpose as president was to prevent another , possibly worse , one .60 . \nAnd yet this flawed concept drove the Bush administration to an early and uncoordinated decision for war , brushing aside the need for analysis , distorting intelligence , marginalizing senior officers who raised doubts and neglecting postconflict stabilization requirements . \nIn March , when the French threatened to veto a second resolution , Bush dropped the effort and gave Saddam a forty-eight-hour ultimatum to leave Iraq . \nBush was quick to reach decisions , and , once reached , he saw change as a sign of weakness .61 After he reached an early decision on war , he was prepared to try a UN resolution , but not change his fundamental course . \nRice was Bush 's closest confidant . \nBush made the case for this during a June 2002 speech at West Point , arguing that the United States could not rely on Cold War concepts such as deterrence and containment to deal with terrorists who are willing to commit suicide for their cause . \nDuring his UN General Assembly speech in September 2002 , Bush tied the doctrine of preemption to Iraq , noting \"with every step the Iraqi regime takes towards gaining and deploying the most terrible weapons , our own options to confront that regime will narrow .\" \nIf there was a debate inside the Bush Administration , it was one - sided and muted .\" \non the fifth anniversary of U.S. President George W.

Bush administration entered office , its initial focus was on China and military transformation . \n31 On September 17 , Bush told his advisors : \"I believe Iraq was involved .\" \nThe fifth was impatience on the part of the Bush team to wait for the results of the arms inspectors who were making progress in Iraq , results that could have obviated the need for war . \nA week after the attack , Wolfowitz began sending memos to Rumsfeld making the case for an attack on Iraq .34 Cheney soon began talking about Iraq as a threat to peace .35 Bush told the British prime minister , Tony Blair , in mid-September that Iraq was not the immediate problem .36 But that changed after the fall of Kabul .37 . \nThat all changed on September 11 , 2001.10 Initially , Bush , Wolfowitz and others thought that Iraq might be behind the attacks .11 So did a large majority of the American people , a belief reinforced by the speculation of administration officials . \nIt became clear that this was not the case , as Bush finally revealed ,12 but for many this connection stuck . \nBush indicated that as soon as the Taliban were driven from Afghanistan , he would turn his attention to Saddam .13 . \nIn March of 2002 , Bush informally told a group of senators : \"We 're taking him -LSB- Saddam -RSB- out .\" \nBureaucratically they formed the leading position within the Bush administration in 2002 , with Cheney dominating the White House and Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz controlling Defense . \nCheney had daily contact with Bush and was his closest advisor on national security matters . \nThe CIA had missed several indications that might have given specific warning about the September 11 attack and was not about to be caught off guard again .15 Because the Bush administration had not acted on more-general intelligence warnings of the al Qaeda threat to the U.S. homeland , it would take any future warning much more seriously . \nThe intelligence that Bush and others received was based on outdated and incorrect evidence , material from untrustworthy human sources , and worst-case analysis .70 The United States had no reliable intelligence assets in Iraq .71 International WMD inspectors had been kicked out of Iraq since 1998 ; so in that sense Saddam brought this about himself . \nOn November 21 , 2001 , Bush asked that the war plan for Iraq be secretly updated , which shocked the military .38 By the end of December 2001 , Central Command -LRB- CENTCOM -RRB- Commander Tommy Franks was at the Bush ranch in Crawford , Texas , briefing the President and his national security team on the war plan .39 .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity George W Bush ?

President Donald Trump claimed that  Hillary Clinton  “lied many times to the FBI and nothing happened to  her .” In fact  the FBI director told Congress that there was “no basis to conclude  she  lied to the FBI.”\nTrump also left the false impression that the FBI deviated from its standard practice by not putting  Clinton  under oath when  she  was interviewed last year about  her  email use while secretary of state. He claimed it was “the most incredible thing anyone has ever seen.” It’s not incredible or even unusual.\nTrump  Dec. 4: I will say this:  Hillary Clinton  lied many times to the FBI and nothing happened to  her . Flynn lied and they destroyed his life. I think it’s a shame.  Hillary Clinton   on the Fourth of July weekend  went to the FBI  not under oath — it was the most incredible thing anyone has ever seen.  She  lied many times. Nothing happened to  her . Flynn lied  and it’s like they ruined his life. It’s very unfair.\nTrump is referring to the FBI’s three-hour-plus interview with  Clinton  on July 2  2016  near the end of the agency’s investigation into whether  she  or  her  staff mishandled classified information. The investigation stemmed from  Clinton ’s decision to exclusively use a private email account and personal server when conducting official government business.\nThree days after the FBI interviewed  Clinton   then-FBI Director James Comey announced that he would not recommend filing charges against  Clinton . He said that  she  and  her  staff were “extremely careless” in handling classified information  but the FBI did not find evidence that their actions were intentional.\nThe FBI also did not find that  Clinton  lied to the FBI  contrary to Trump’s claim.\nAfter announcing the outcome of the FBI investigation  Comey testified on July 7  2016  before the House oversight committee about his decision not to recommend pressing charges. Chairman Jason Chaffetz specifically asked Comey if  Clinton  lied.\nChaffetz  July 7  2016: Did  Hillary Clinton  lie? Comey: To the FBI? We have no basis to conclude  she  lied to the FBI. Chaffetz: Did  she  lie to the public? Comey: That’s a question I’m not qualified to answer. I can speak about what  she  said to the FBI.\nRepublicans have long maintained that  Clinton  “lied” to the public about  her  email use. And we have certainly written numerous stories about how  Clinton  provided the public with false and misleading information about  her  email use.\nThat’s what happened in  Clinton ’s case. On Sept. 2  2016  the FBI released a summary of  Clinton ’s statements to the FBI.\nAs for  Clinton   the FBI had “no basis to conclude  she  lied to the FBI ” as Comey said.

Former secretary of  state Hillary Clinton  speaks to and meets voters in Allendale  Mich.  on Nov. 7  2016. (Melina Mara/The Washington Post)\nHow do you write a primal scream? Because my head is about to explode over the story about alleged sexual harassment on  Hillary Clinton’s  2008 presidential campaign and  her  appallingly mild response  then and now.\nTo recap  while we were still reeling from the report that President Trump ordered the firing of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III last summer  the New York Times posted this: “Hillary Clinton Chose to Shield a Top Adviser Accused of Harassment in 2008.”\nAccording to the Times’ Maggie Haberman and Amy Chozick  Burns Strider   Clinton’s  faith adviser — yes  faith adviser  you can’t make this stuff up — was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young woman with whom he shared a campaign office. The Times: “ She  told a campaign official that Mr. Strider had rubbed  her  shoulders inappropriately  kissed  her  on the forehead and sent  her  a string of suggestive emails.”\nThe campaign’s response? Campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle recommended that Strider be fired. So did Jess O’Connell  the national director of operations  who handled the investigation. And  Clinton  herself? Not so much  apparently. The young woman  not identified in the story  was moved to a different job. Strider — then married  by the way — was “docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling.” Which  predictably  he never attended.\nAnd  even more predictably  when he was hired years later to oversee an independent group backing  Clinton’s  second presidential campaign  “He was fired after several months for workplace issues  including allegations that he harassed a young female aide  according to three people close to Correct the Record’s management.”\nThis is head-exploding stuff  but there’s worse to come. Because now — now  after Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo and Roy Moore — this was Hillary Clinton’s belated response  in its bland totality: “A story appeared today about something that happened in 2008. I was dismayed when it occurred  but was heartened the young woman came forward  was heard  and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.”\nAnd classically  infuriatingly  this episode and its aftermath exposes  once again  the trademark Clinton failure to take personal responsibility; the allergy to owning up to error; the refusal to cede any ground  no less apologize; the incessant double-standarding  with different  more forgiving rules for the Clintons and their loyalists.

But on important issues -- from opposing new settlement building in the Occupied Territories , to supporting the nuclear framework with Iran -- Clinton has not taken the hawkish side , as so many of her liberal critics fear she would do if she becomes president . \nNone of this is to suggest that Clinton will be Robin to Obama 's Batman . \nThen there are the issues of wage stagnation and income inequality , two longstanding trends that will likely be at the heart of Clinton 's pitch to voters . \nA recent report drafted by Clinton allies , including Neera Tanden and former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers , laid out what David Leonhardt at The New York Times described as the \"first draft\" of a Clinton economic platform : a mix of improving education , providing direct aid to the lower and middle classes , bolstering child care , strengthening financial regulation , raising taxes on the wealthy , and cutting taxes on the middle class . \nThen there are three issues -- gay marriage , women 's rights , and immigration reform -- that are of immense ideological and electoral importance to the Democratic Party , and can expect an ardent champion in Clinton . \nIt depends on whether you see Obama 's foreign policy , which is so entwined with Clinton 's tenure at the State Department , as a disaster for which the U.S. is primarily responsible or the result of organic crises erupting in the Middle East and elsewhere that are largely beyond the administration 's control . \nThe fear is that a President Clinton , likely facing a Republican-controlled Congress , will not be content to be the safeguard of Obama 's legacy ; that she will foolishly trade away Democratic priorities like entitlements in some ill-conceived Grand Bargain ; that she will succumb to the many demons whispering in her ear , whether they be Wall Street bankers , neoliberal triangulators , purveyors of hoary Beltway wisdom , or the Wormtongue-like advisers that are always hovering around Clintonland . \nBut if Clinton is smart , and I believe she is , she will realize that the days of repealing Glass-Steagall are over , and that her ticket to a historical legacy is to be part of a great era of policy reorientation away from the conservative-neoliberal consensus that has produced decades of middle-class stagnation and one huge financial crisis . \nIn contrast , Hillary Clinton , who officially announced her campaign for president on Sunday , will not face the same array of challenges should she be elected -- which is another way of saying that she will have fewer opportunities to remake the political landscape in her image . \nTo that end , there are ways Clinton could be a far more effective president than Obama . \nBut there is still plenty for Clinton and the Democratic Party to do -- and plenty of space to leave her mark . \nShe is also better at greasing her own side with the kind of glad-handing and thank-you-card-writing that Obama constitutionally dislikes -- my guess is that another President Clinton would have an easier time getting her side to fall in line on , say , the Iran deal than President Obama . \nFirst , simply by virtue of being elected , Clinton could consolidate the gains that Democrats have made in the Obama era . \nAt the very least , Clinton would face pressure from her party and her base to protect those reforms . \nMany critics have accused Clinton of helping turn Libya into a failed state , and note that her support for U.S. intervention echoed her support for the Iraq War . \nIt is worth remembering that in 2008 , Clinton actually ran to Obama 's left on the issue , which should give progressives hope that policies like the public option and greater subsidies will be on Clinton 's 2016 agenda .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Clinton ? Without suggesting a new path toward Mideast peace  Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton expressed frustration Friday with the Israel-Palestinian impasse while insisting the Obama administration will \"not lose hope.\"\n She said the U.S. will keep pressing for a solution  and she called on Israelis and Palestinians to set aside their differences.\n \"It is no secret that the parties have a long way to go and that they have not yet made the difficult decisions that peace requires \" she said in a dinner speech at the Saban Forum  a Mideast policy seminar sponsored by the Brookings Institution think tank. \"And like many of you  I regret that we have not gotten farther  faster.\"\n She spoke just days after the administration dropped an effort to persuade Israel to impose a temporary freeze on some settlement activity. The Palestinians insist that direct peace talks cannot resume until Israel halts settlement construction.\n Clinton made clear that she believes the Israelis and Palestinians are ultimately responsible for settling their long conflict.\n \"Unfortunately  as we have learned  the parties in this conflict have often not been ready to take the necessary steps \" she said. \"Going forward  they must take responsibility and make the difficult decisions that peace requires. This begins with a sincere effort to see the world through the other side's eyes  to try to understand their perspective and positions. Palestinians must appreciate Israel's legitimate security concerns. And Israelis must accept the legitimate territorial aspirations of the Palestinian people. Ignoring the other side's needs is in the end self-defeating.\"\n Clinton did not mention the administration's frequently repeated goal of achieving at least the outline of a final peace settlement by September 2011. That goal was set when Israeli and Palestinian leaders came to Washington in September to resume negotiations -- a process that quickly broke down over disagreement on Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank.\n She pledged to stay actively involved  but she offered no new strategy for achieving the peace deal that has eluded other U.S. administrations.\n \"The United States will not be a passive participant \" she said. \"We will push the parties to lay out their positions on the core issues without delay  in good faith  and with real specificity.

For a few brief hours the devastation of a typhoon was forgotten  and even the Filipino army took a break from chasing rebels to cheer Pacquiao on.\n They used to have him as their own. Not many people outside the Philippines paid much attention to the little fighter with the big hands even as he kept moving up in weight over the years and winning belts by the handful along the way.\n But now they're going to have to share Manny Pacquiao. Greatness comes with a price  and it's hard to argue that Pacquiao hasn't now earned a spot among boxing's greats.\n Maybe not Muhammad Ali great  as promoter Bob Arum was trying to claim when he said Pacquiao was better than any fighter he ever promoted  including Ali. But it's Arum's job to build Pacquiao up  especially with negotiations for a possible megafight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. expected to begin this week.\n Still  no fighter had ever won titles in seven different weight classes  even in an era where titles are as common as platinum blondes in the MGM Grand casino. And no fighter in recent times has had the kind of year Pacquiao wrapped up by stopping a game but outclassed Cotto 55 seconds into the 12th round of their welterweight title fight.\n He leaped into the global boxing consciousness 11 months ago by making Oscar De La Hoya quit  giving him such a beating that he retired. He followed that by knocking Ricky Hatton stiff in the second round with a left hand that left Hatton contemplating his mortality.\n And then came Saturday night  when he put on six more pounds to fight the supposedly bigger and harder punching Cotto. It looked early as if it may have been a mistake  with Cotto controlling the action in the first round with a sharp jab and accurate punches.\n Bad advice. Less than a minute into the third round  it was a right hand from Pacquiao that put Cotto down for the first time. He was up quickly and the two continued battling at a frenzied pace late into the fourth round when Pacquiao threw a huge left hand as Cotto was moving forward and dropped him for the second time.\n Cotto was never the same after that and Pacquiao was relentless in administering a beating that sent blood flowing down Cotto's face  staining his white trunks. By the ninth round he was taking such punishment that his wife and young son got up from their ringside seats and left the arena  unable to watch any further.\n Once again  Pacquiao had not just beaten a world class fighter  but systematically dismantled him. He did it in his usual -- and very unusual -- style  bouncing in and out and throwing punches from all angles in a frenetic style never before seen in boxing.\n When it was all over  Pacquiao had another belt and his large entourage probably had a few more members. Cotto had inflicted some damage of his own  marking up Pacquiao's face and causing his right ear to require a bandage  but Pacquiao wasn't going to miss his own party.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Glenn Beck  looks like the dad in a Disney movie.  He ’s earnest  geeky  pink  and slightly bulbous.  His  idea of salty language is bullcrap. The atmosphere at  Beck’s  Mercury Studios  outside Dallas  is similarly soothing  provided you ignore the references to genocide and civilizational collapse. In October  when most commentators considered a Donald Trump presidency a remote possibility  I followed audience members onto the set of The Glenn Beck Program  which airs on  Beck ’s website  theblaze.com. On the way  we passed through a life-size replica of the Oval Office as it might look if inhabited by a President Beck  complete with a portrait of Ronald Reagan and a large Norman Rockwell print of a Boy Scout. On one side of the main stage hung a drawing of an old pickup truck  captioned “Edward Janssen Farms.” (Janssen was Beck’s maternal grandfather; Beck’s family sells a line of American-made clothing that bears the Janssen name.) Over the truck  in large type  was the word honor. On the other side of the stage sat an old-fashioned radio and a comfy blue armchair. The scene was warmly reassuring  except for the television offstage  which was blaring an advertisement for a year’s worth of “emergency survival food” to be consumed in case society unravels.\n Beck  asked an audience member to lead a prayer  then filming started. Someone asked  “How do we get people to come together?”  Beck  responded by citing a book called Pendulum  which argues that as the result of generational change  history shifts in 40-year cycles between “me” eras and “we” eras. In 2003  he explained  America entered a “we” era  a time when individual identity weakens and group identity strengthens. “ ‘We’ generations ”  Beck  declared  produce “genocidal monsters”: The past three “we” generations coincided with the French and American revolutions  Karl Marx and the Civil War  and the Holocaust. Americans can survive the coming “onslaught ”  he  reassured  his  viewers  but to do so will require great character.  He  mentioned Dietrich Bonhoeffer  who was hanged for resisting the Nazis.  He  invoked Gandhi  who fasted in an effort to prevent India’s Hindus and Muslims from murdering each other. Then  Beck  stopped for a commercial break  during which  he  chatted amiably with  his  audience about the impending collapse of America’s banks. Later in the show  a questioner suggested that Americans were turning away from God.  Beck  said  he ’d been thinking a lot about the prophet Jeremiah  who vainly warned the Israelite kings that catastrophe was near. Finally  when the Babylonians were about to sack Jerusalem  Jeremiah urged the Israelites to accept national enslavement  because it was God’s will.  Beck  saw a contemporary lesson: “Sometimes you have to pay the price for what you’ve done.” Then  he  started talking about Donald Trump’s assault on the Bill of Rights.\nAmidst the misery of the 2016 presidential campaign   Beck  showed unusual courage. Many conservative pundits opposed Trump. But they mostly worked for mainstream media institutions like The New York Times  The Washington Post  MSNBC  and CNN. They didn’t rely on Trump supporters to pay their salary. Conservative talk-show hosts  who stoke right-wing populism for a living  reacted very differently. Sean Hannity appeared in one of Trump’s campaign videos. Laura Ingraham spoke at the Republican National Convention. Rush Limbaugh declared in March that  “with the case of Trump  there’s a much bigger upside than downside.” In July  Hugh Hewitt wrote  “Of course I am voting for Donald Trump.” Even the most moralistic conservative talkers—including William Bennett and Dennis Prager  who have made careers of arguing that private character is key to political leadership—endorsed Trump. Mark Levin  who hosts a popular show on the Westwood One radio network  vowed not to. “Count me as Never Trump ” he declared in April. But in September he announced  “I’m voting for Trump.” Among big-time national conservative talk-show hosts  Beck—who is tied with Levin for the third-largest listenership after Limbaugh and Hannity—was a rare exception. He didn’t just oppose Trump. He compared him to Hitler. He warned that Trump was a possible “extinction-level event” for American democracy and capitalism. In an attempt to defeat Trump   Beck  campaigned during the primaries for Ted Cruz. Then  when Cruz endorsed Trump   Beck  apologized for having supported him.\nOne longtime sponsor of  Beck ’s radio show reportedly tried to pull its ads in protest. In May  SiriusXM briefly suspended  Beck  for implying that if Congress wouldn’t stop a President Trump  Americans might have to do so by force. Nonetheless   Beck  held firm in  his  opposition.  He  considered voting for Hillary Clinton  but ultimately went for the independent candidate Evan McMullin. Why? The answer lies in the very catastrophizing that makes  Beck  sound like a kook. In the mid-1990s   Beck  was  by  his  own account  a “despicable human being ” a divorced  alcoholic  drug-addicted shock jock for a Connecticut radio station.  He  once put on a banana suit and leaped into a pool of Styrofoam.  He  repeatedly considered suicide. Eventually  Beck  got sober and fell in love with the woman who would become  his  second wife. But she refused to marry  him  until they found a religion. So the couple embarked on a “church tour” and were baptized as Mormons in 1999. Many Americans revere the Constitution. Mormons like  Beck  consider it sacred. For a time   Beck  remained apolitical. “I didn’t pay attention to anything until September 11  nothing  nothing ”  he  explained to me after the taping  as we sat in  his  office. “I couldn’t have told you the Bill of Rights in any great detail.”  He  describes 9/11 as “a turning point for me.”  He  was by then hosting a show in New York  and remembers walking from Ground Zero to  his  studio and reading on air a 19th-century hymn written by a Mormon pioneer fleeing Missouri on  his  way to Utah.  Beck  says  he  felt a special calling at that moment. “If you have a position on the gate and you don’t warn the people of what you see ”  he  remembers thinking  “you’re to blame.”\nEver since   Beck  has imagined  himself  as a sentry perched on the national ramparts  warning of looming disaster. Usually  that disaster manifests itself as a threat to the Constitution. Which  given Mormon history  makes perfect sense. Many Americans revere the Constitution. Mormons  however  consider it sacred. In Doctrine and Covenants  a book of Mormon scripture  God says  “I have established the Constitution of this land by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose.” According to polling by David Campbell  a Notre Dame political scientist  94 percent of American Mormons believe that the “Constitution and the Bill of Rights are divinely inspired.” That’s only two points lower than the percentage who believe that the Book of Mormon is. But Mormons don’t just consider the Constitution sacred. They believe that its violation has allowed their persecution. Why did the governor of Missouri in 1838 call for Mormons to “be exterminated or driven from the State”? Why were Mormons forced to travel halfway across the continent—leaving the borders of what was then the United States—in order to find sanctuary in Utah? Because America’s leaders disregarded the country’s sacred texts. Today  many Mormons see defending the Constitution the way many Jews see opposing genocide: as a way of honoring their ancestors and affirming their identity. In recounting his own religious conversion   Beck  told me about a parade that he claimed Mormon settlers held upon reaching Utah  after having been expelled from the United States. “The women carried the Declaration of Independence and the men carried the Constitution ” he said. “And the whole point was that people may let you down  people will violate the principles  but the principles are true.” Such a parade likely never happened. Two scholars of Mormonism told me they had never heard of it. But the story nonetheless illustrates the Constitution’s centrality to  Beck ’s identity  and to the identity of many Mormons. According to legend  the Mormon leader Joseph Smith prophesied in 1843 that the Constitution would one day “hang by a thread” and be saved by “the elders of Zion ” by which he meant Mormon men. Church authorities say the quote is apocryphal. Campbell’s polling  however  finds that a majority of Mormons believe it’s true. And yet  Campbell argues  Mormons tend not to accentuate these views publicly. Mormon culture  he told me  emphasizes a “moderate way of speaking.” Think Mitt Romney or Orrin Hatch. Campbell  who is Mormon himself  says that’s in part because many Mormons are desperate to be accepted by a mainstream that has long rejected them. They’re fearful of looking like fanatics or nuts.\n Beck  is not. Perhaps because  he  converted to Mormonism as an adult   he  never imbibed  his  co-religionists’ anxiety.  He  has publicly invoked Smith’s alleged prophecy at least five times  most recently in March. Warning Utah voters of the threat Trump posed   Beck  reminded them that “the body of the priesthood is known to stand up when the Constitution hangs by a thread.” More problematically for liberals   Beck  invoked the prophecy three times in late 2008 and early 2009 to describe Barack Obama. This is the irony underlying  Beck ’s current stance: The same doomsday sensibility that helps him appreciate the menace posed by Trump led him to massively exaggerate the menace posed by Obama—and thus to breed the hateful paranoia on which Trump now feeds.  Beck   in fact  pioneered some of Trump’s most disturbing themes. At the beginning of Obama’s first term   Beck  repeatedly called the president antiwhite. In 2010   he  wondered why Obama “needlessly throws  his  hat into the ring to defend the Ground Zero mosque.  He  hosts Ramadan dinners  which a president can do. But then you just add all of this stuff up— his  wife goes against the advice of the advisers  jets to Spain for vacation. What does she do there? She hits up the Alhambra palace mosque. Fine  it’s a tourist attraction. But is there anything more to this? Are they sending messages?” Trump opponents may appreciate  Beck ’s Hitler analogies now that they’re directed at The Donald. But during the first 14 months of the Obama administration  according to Dana Milbank’s book Tears of a Clown:  Glenn Beck  and the Tea Bagging of America   Beck  and guests on  his  Fox News show invoked “fascism ” “Nazis ” “Hitler ” “the Holocaust” and “Joseph Goebbels” 487 times. For good measure   Beck  in 2007 said that Hillary Clinton sounds like “the stereotypical bitch.”", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Stephen Colbert ?

Former secretary of  state Hillary Clinton  speaks to and meets voters in Allendale  Mich.  on Nov. 7  2016. (Melina Mara/The Washington Post)\nHow do you write a primal scream? Because my head is about to explode over the story about alleged sexual harassment on  Hillary Clinton’s  2008 presidential campaign and  her  appallingly mild response  then and now.\nTo recap  while we were still reeling from the report that President Trump ordered the firing of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III last summer  the New York Times posted this: “Hillary Clinton Chose to Shield a Top Adviser Accused of Harassment in 2008.”\nAccording to the Times’ Maggie Haberman and Amy Chozick  Burns Strider   Clinton’s  faith adviser — yes  faith adviser  you can’t make this stuff up — was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young woman with whom he shared a campaign office. The Times: “ She  told a campaign official that Mr. Strider had rubbed  her  shoulders inappropriately  kissed  her  on the forehead and sent  her  a string of suggestive emails.”\nThe campaign’s response? Campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle recommended that Strider be fired. So did Jess O’Connell  the national director of operations  who handled the investigation. And  Clinton  herself? Not so much  apparently. The young woman  not identified in the story  was moved to a different job. Strider — then married  by the way — was “docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling.” Which  predictably  he never attended.\nAnd  even more predictably  when he was hired years later to oversee an independent group backing  Clinton’s  second presidential campaign  “He was fired after several months for workplace issues  including allegations that he harassed a young female aide  according to three people close to Correct the Record’s management.”\nThis is head-exploding stuff  but there’s worse to come. Because now — now  after Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo and Roy Moore — this was Hillary Clinton’s belated response  in its bland totality: “A story appeared today about something that happened in 2008. I was dismayed when it occurred  but was heartened the young woman came forward  was heard  and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.”\nAnd classically  infuriatingly  this episode and its aftermath exposes  once again  the trademark Clinton failure to take personal responsibility; the allergy to owning up to error; the refusal to cede any ground  no less apologize; the incessant double-standarding  with different  more forgiving rules for the Clintons and their loyalists.

In a recent New York Times article  Dr. Willie Parker says he believes “that as an abortion provider  [he is] doing God’s work.” It’s his Christian faith  the author contends  that drives him to abort babies. His “Life’s Work” (as his new book is ironically titled) is to end life for every preborn child that comes before him.\nThe Jewish people  some of whom later became the first Christians  were to avoid partaking in the practices of the surrounding peoples  who sacrificed their children to appease their gods. Christians have long held that to abort one’s child as an act of worship to the gods of convenience is not permitted by the God of the Bible. But abortion advocates will attempt to play the “he’s a Christian” card by spinning opposition from Christians to imply  Parker  is persecuted within  his  own faith tradition.\nThe second thing abortion elites love about  Parker  is  his  skin color. Any opposition he faces from white pro-lifers not associated with Christianity can be easily dismissed as bigotry. Sweep under the rug for a minute that even black celebrities are accusing abortion providers in black communities of genocide. While Planned Parenthood’s media arm proclaims support of black lives  its other arm is reaching for a pair of forceps to end life for hundreds of black babies each day.\nIn the tradition of the black slave owners in the Confederate South  Parker makes his money by breaking the backs (or spines and what-have-you) of others  many of whom share his skin color. He can’t admit that his work (some have called it his “ministry”) hurts his own people or it’d affect his bottom line. Abortion advocates want us all to simply accept that black lives only matter once they’ve had the privilege of being born. This brings us to the final contradiction of  Parker ’s platform.\n Parker  considers  himself  a feminist.  He  believes  he  is bettering the future for females. Don’t think too long about the number of female lives  he ’s ended before they’ve begun. This is nothing new to the insane logic of abortion advocacy. If they can successfully shift our attention off the rights of the life inside the womb to the perceived “rights” the pregnant woman has over her inhabited womb  they’ve succeeded.\n Parker ’s public persona is a farce.  He  parades the myth that  he  has a moral responsibility to “help women” while  he  strips them of their own responsibility to the children they’ve conceived. Christianity places value upon the lives of black women  so much so that it envisions a world in which their lives aren’t ended in the womb. But maybe we’re the ones who are deceiving pregnant women? Perhaps we’re the ones getting rich by volunteering with crisis pregnancy centers and giving away free pregnancy tests  ultrasounds  and diapers.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . \nIn the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . \nIs it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? \nOr do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? \nCruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . \nLee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . \nIn his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him \"more courageously or indispensably\" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . \nWhen Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . \nCruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . \nCruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . \nEssentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . \nLee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . \nLee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . \nThe bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . \nToday , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . \nAnd while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . \nAnother telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . \nAs McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . \nTo Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . \nCruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . \nAt a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . \nWhen he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . \nIn my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . \nAs Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : \"You just do n't do that . \nAnother criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . \nCruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . \nIn Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . \nBut a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . \nBut the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . \nYou can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . \nBut what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? \nThe Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . \nCarpenter said Cruz had sent a message . \nCruz has shown that one person can make a difference .\" \nBut as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

James has maintained that he's pleased with the Cavs' direction  owner Dan Gilbert and Ferry's attempts to add more talent to Cleveland's roster.\n James said he isn't worried about his contract situation becoming a distraction.\n Following an elaborate multimedia presentation by Nike  James  who will embark on a tour promoting his new shoe and \"More Than A Game \" a documentary chronicling his days at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School  answered questions about O'Neal and Magic forward Rashard Lewis' 10-game suspension for testing positive for an elevated testosterone level.\n James also reiterated his Thursday comments in which he said he regretted not doing a mandatory postgame media session after the Cavaliers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Orlando Magic. But he also said that he didn't think he owed anyone an apology for failing to shake hands with the Magic players immediately after the series ended.\n James offered sympathy to Lewis  who admitted taking an over-the-counter supplement late last season that included a substance he did not realize was banned by the league.\n \"It's unfortunate \" James said. \"I know Rashard really well and I know he's not that type of guy who would do anything to get the upper edge on another player  that's first and foremost. You just have to use great judgment. We have guys with us every day who can find out for you if it (a substance) is banned or not banned by the NBA.

The camera pans across a bucolic river and a sunny cornfield  an American flag flapping in the breeze  as narrator Michael Steele extols the freedom to dream and achieve. Then  with the Statue of Liberty sweeping into the shot  comes a dire warning that freedom is fragile: Democrats  he says  are \"experimenting with America.\"\nThe camera zooms in on a bespectacled Steele  who asks viewers for donations. \"Our freedom \" he says with a smile. \"It's worth fighting for.\"\nThe television advertisement  which aired in selected markets last month  is vintage Steele _ affable  charismatic and seizing the spotlight. But the ad's star is not running for anything. He's the chairman of the Republican National Committee  with a mandate to promote his party rather than himself.\nSteele has put a public face on what had been largely a behind-the-scenes job  hoping to foster what he has called a \"hip-hop\" Republican renaissance. That high profile has been accompanied by a record of lavish spending and a string of gaffes  leading some party activists to complain that Steele revels in the perks of the office while neglecting some of the onerous work necessary to reclaim majorities in the House and Senate. This narrative grew more damaging last week with the disclosure that RNC staffers approved a $1 900 bill at a Hollywood nightclub that features topless dancers mimicking lesbian sex acts while wearing bondage gear.\nStill there have been no calls for Steele's ouster  and some top Republicans have calculated that there is no upside in forcing out the first black chairman of a party largely dominated by white Southerners _ especially not while the GOP is winning under his watch. Steele claimed credit for recent Republican victories in Massachusetts  Virginia and New Jersey  telling reporters in January: \"I won two governorships and a host of special elections.\"\nSome Republicans question Steele's contribution to the party's recent successes.

He offered a break with history as the first African American chairman of what he referred to over and over again as the \"party of Lincoln.\"\n\"The party has really wallowed in the sewers of racial politics in the country \" said NAACP President Ben Jealous  a longtime Steele friend. \"Mike Steele is their chance to get back on higher ground.\"\nSteele was distrustful of the staff he inherited and the Beltway strategists who cycled through the committee. \"When they drink that Potomac River water a while  it changes them  and Michael has tried never to drink that water \" said John Kane  a close friend who ran the Maryland Republican Party when Steele was lieutenant governor.\nSo less than a week after his election  Steele asked each staffer to submit a resignation letter. They were told the chairman would decide who could stay  former aides recalled. He let dozens go.\nIn his early months  Steele  who had been a Fox News Channel commentator  gave several interviews that led to damaging blunders. On CNN  Steele dismissed Rush Limbaugh  a popular voice for the right  as an \"entertainer\" and said Limbaugh's radio talk show can be \"incendiary\" and \"ugly.\" He told GQ magazine that abortion was \"an individual choice \" going against his party's antiabortion platform.\nMeanwhile  he was making cosmetic changes to the party operation. Steele disliked the dark-wood furnishings in his office  telling GQ it was \"way too male for me.\" So he had the RNC spend $18 500 on a new wooden desk  armchairs  a couch and art for the walls  according to aides.\nWhen Steele hit the road to meet local volunteers and operatives  he often brought a photographer to document it all. At party headquarters in Washington  the hallways were decorated with jumbo-size pictures of Steele shaking hands.\nSteele declined several requests for interviews for this story because he believes he has received unfair scrutiny from The Washington Post dating to his political career in Maryland  his spokesman Doug Heye said. \"Profile after profile after profile by The Washington Post that almost borders on stalking \" Heye said. \"At a certain point you just stop taking it seriously.\"\nThis report is based on Steele's public comments and interviews with more than three dozen RNC members  donors  party strategists and state officials  as well as Steele's friends  political opponents and current and former aides. They portrayed a complex man who  like most people  is a combination of traits  not 100 percent an industrious political strategist or a feckless self-promoter.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Randy Bryce ? Randy Bryce  -- a Democratic organizer and union iron worker who's never held elected office -- gained national attention with a viral video that debuted last month announcing  his  congressional bid. The video  which pitches Bryce as a \"working man\" and focuses on health care  racked up nearly a half-million views in the less than two weeks it's been online and drew attention from left leaning activists and national media.\n\"Let's trade places   Paul Ryan \" Bryce  said in the ad. \"You can come work the iron  and I'll go to DC. \"\n\"I've just had enough. People are fed up \"  Bryce  said in a phone interview. \"It's just a really crooked place in Washington  DC.\"\nEven with the attention the video has attracted   Bryce 's odds of unseating the Wisconsin Republican at this point appear extremely low. While polling for congressional districts is historically scarce and unreliable  Ryan has never lost a race. In fact  he's never won with less than by double-digit margins. He bested his opponent by nearly 35 points in 2016. Ryan has also been a prolific fundraiser  raising millions not only for himself but to preserve his party's control of the House\nWhen asked to respond to  Bryce 's announcement video  Ryan campaign spokesman Zack Roday said   \"Bryce  is a liberal agitator in Wisconsin. He is not a political novice; he is a three time failed candidate who has been repeatedly rejected by southern Wisconsin voters for his far left positions.\"\nIt is true that  Bryce  doesn't have a great record of success in running for office.  His  two campaigns to serve in the state legislature were unsuccessful  as was  his  2013 bid for the Racine County Board of Education.\nThe fundraising arm for House Republicans also made note of this point. The National Republican Campaign Committee said  Bryce 's \"petty attacks against Paul Ryan will be rejected by voters in the same fashion that his three former failed campaigns have been.\"\nBut after a spring where Republicans in Congress struggled to find enough support to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act with a GOP alternative  perhaps it's no surprise that  Bryce 's video  which centers on  his  own difficult experiences with health care  took off online.\n\"It's just a cruel way to govern \"  Bryce  told CNN in reference to the latest Senate Republican health bill.\nSet to an emotional soundtrack   Bryce 's announcement video opens with a clip of Trump touting Ryan's work on the Republican health care plan. Then it moves to Ryan talking about the bill. Panoramic shots of \"southeastern Wisconsin\" -- where Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District is located -- fill the screen.\nThe ad features  Bryce 's mother who talks about  her  fight with multiple sclerosis and how the GOP health plan would affect  her .\nThough  she  has been able to get treatment   Bryce  described the helplessness  he 's felt in dealing with  her  condition.\n\"There were some times when I'm in a room next to  her   and  she 's in a room just screaming in pain  you know  and I'm like  'I can't do anything. I don't know what to do. I can't help  her .' \"\nBryce himself  has faced difficult medical conditions. When  he  left the Army after serving abroad in Honduras   he  was diagnosed with prostate cancer.  He  didn't have insurance at the time  but considers  himself  lucky because  he  was able to get care through an experimental treatment at a nearby medical school.\n He  beat the cancer  but  his  mom continues to struggle with MS  and  his  father -- who was not in the ad -- lives in an assisted living facility with Alzheimer's.\nBryce's son  Ben  also drew mentions in the video and at the first campaign rally.  Bryce  calls  him  \"a miracle\" because doctors had told  Bryce  that  he  likely wouldn't be able to have children as a result of  his  prostate cancer.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Steele ? Embattled Republican Party chairman Michael Steele announced Monday that he will seek a second term despite a rocky two years marked by allegations of financial mismanagement and frequent verbal gaffes.\n After weighing a decision for weeks as challengers lined up  Steele alerted the 168-member Republican National Committee during an evening conference call that he would run  according to participants listening. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the call was private.\n Steele's troubled first term expires in January  and the committee must then vote on who should run the party's national operations during the 2012 presidential election cycle.\n A former Maryland lieutenant governor  Steele was chosen to run the party in January 2009. He became the first black national chairman in the Republican Party's history just shy of three months after the nation elected a Democrat as the first African-American president.\n Steele was considered an outsider because he wasn't part of the RNC's clubby environment. His brash style and unconventional ways irked establishment Republicans from the outset. Questions about his financial management of the RNC followed.\n Republican victories up and down the ballot in November didn't quiet Steele's critics. Complaints about Steele's stewardship of the party's national operations only mounted. And he has watched his once strong support within the RNC rank and file all but evaporate as Republican leaders on Capitol Hill and in states across the country signaled they desired new leadership.\n No less than a half dozen Republicans are weighing challenges to Steele or have launched candidacies. The two latest to formally announce bids are Maria Cino  a New York native who served in the Bush administration and planned the party's 2008 nominating convention  and Gentry Collins  who headed the RNC's political department under Steele.\n Others in the mix include: Saul Anuzis  a committeeman from Michigan who lost to Steele in the 2009 chairman's race; Reince Priebus  the Wisconsin Republican chairman  and Ann Wagner  a former Missouri state Republican chair and a former ambassador.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . \nIn no particular order , Texas senator and Republican presidential aspirant Ted Cruz has : said acts of Christian terrorism stopped centuries ago , forgetting the Ku Klux Klan and the shooting in Colorado last week ; claimed he has never met an anti-abortion activist who advocates violence , despite being endorsed by one just days before ; dismissed the need for Planned Parenthood because there is n't a shortage of \"rubbers\" in America ; and made an offhand comment that Colorado mass shooter Robert Dear could be a \"transgendered leftist activist .\" \nIt even worked in Houston , a city in a state Ted Cruz is from . \nIt 's typical Cruz : both self-aggrandizing and distant from the truth , with a little temporizing statement -LRB- \"to some extent\" -RRB- that rescues the self-aggrandizing part from being an outright lie . \nIt shifts the conversation to candidate Ted Cruz . \nIt distracts from conservatism 's violent rhetoric against Planned Parenthood and forces the fact-check process to address Cruz 's accusation . \nTed Cruz is too smart not to know that replacing all of Planned Parenthood 's services with \"rubbers\" is objectively stupid . \nTed Cruz is far from crazy , which is the essential Ted Cruz problem . \nAnd , sure , this sort of discussion might constitute playing the game of interpretation , but if Cruz would condemn Politifact for not engaging in the practice , he can hardly fault others for taking his exhortation seriously . \nBut Ted Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . \nCruz is being interpretively nasty in part because of who he is , but also because fictionalizing America 's crisis moments is dramatically successful . \nAs the Ted Cruz phenomenon glides on , without a change in tone or a moment of hesitancy , it 's easy to think of an old expression pro-wrestling expression : \"Live the gimmick , brother .\" \nTed Cruz does awful things by intelligent design . \nOn the other hand , it 's hard to believe that Cruz would seriously consider the breaking-news reporting of someone widely referred to as \"The Dumbest Man on the Internet .\" \nTed Cruz is n't any different , and buying his line that he 's uniquely earned \"Democrats '\" label of crazy not only obscures the work , it 's part of it . \nTed Cruz knows that , for all his erudition , he 's still an intellectual one-percenter in a party that rejects elites and revels in combative anti-knowledge . \nReading his book is like watching him put his mask on in the morning : the pages wear on , and the incisive first half gets quieter , as the volume on the demagoguing second half gets louder , until there he is -- Ted Cruz , brother -- and the arena goes nuts . \nEven if he is not always likable , Young Ted Cruz is an interesting person . \nCruz has mastered the useful gaffe . \nBut once you get about halfway through the book -- to national events that were part of your own memory , where you could pen the story yourself , where you are no longer reading memories so far outside the fact checker 's reach that you have to take Cruz 's word for it -- suddenly you realize that what makes Ted Cruz 's book so exceptional is what makes him exceptionally nasty . \nFor one thing , there is no plausible excuse for someone who graduated cum laude from Princeton , went to Harvard Law and clerked on the Supreme Court not doing the reading , but the Cruz argument , whatever it is , coasts through an environment in which there is no data to challenge it . \nFor instance , despite being a 340-page work , the book possesses only 66 end notes , the plurality of which are dedicated to citing quotes from famous conservatives or noteworthy persons Cruz expects resonate with a right-wing audience . \nBut it stands out when someone like Cruz inveighs against Obamacare -- his senatorial career 's Moby-Dick -- and only comes up with ham-handed anecdotes about meeting struggling Americans in the heartland . \nDuring Tuesday 's primary , candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz had a bitter Twitter exchange . \nCruz also has a favorite line he likes to use , which appears on the stump and in his book . \nNaturally , Cruz ignores that premiums rose before Obamacare , that insurance companies Chicken Little all the time about rate hikes before rolling them back , and that part of the rise relates to people who are actually sick being able to get medical care that insurance companies actually have to pay for now . \nOn that last point , for a litigator , Cruz seems really allergic to using a wonderful legal word like \"rescission ,\" which is too bad , because it explains rate hikes and changing plans . \nBut mentioning that would spoil the image of poor insurance companies that Cruz suggests were \"lured into bed with Obamacare\" via the Leninist thinking that \"the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them .\" \nShe hugs Cruz and says , \"I 'm a single mom ... I 've got six kids at home , and I 'm working five jobs . \nCruz describes the Bush 2000 campaign as reeling from John McCain 's win in New Hampshire and needing to refocus . \nLuckily , Cruz notes , the Bush campaign could run to the right of McCain on tort and campaign finance reform , two issues that get the people to the polls in droves ! \nAs it happens , those were two issues that Ted Cruz briefed George W. Bush on , while touring the state with him , which Bush later won . \nBut if you want the Ted Cruz experience in a pinch , take his condemnation of biased journalism . \nTed Cruz 's book , A Time for Truth , is , by comparison , almost delightful . \nNever mind that the rest of the speech , like most Cruz speeches , might have been recycled and already fact checked . \nNever mind that newspapers are limited by space and that Fisking an average Cruz speech requires a ream of paper . \nGiven that , please never mind that the fact that has Ted Cruz in high dudgeon was about the game Space Invaders . \nMoreover , Politifact evidently shamelessly editorialized when they fact-checked Cruz -LRB- and every conservative 's -RRB- assertion that Obama kicked off his presidency by going on \"a worldwide apology tour .\" \nThen , before confronting the issue , Cruz concedes , \"It 's true that he did n't explicitly add the words ` And I 'm sorry . '\" \nSo the new front in the liberal propaganda war is a fact check website that checked facts Cruz admits are not literally true without any poetical ear for interpretation . \nBusting Ted Cruz for selective narrative and hanging massive public policy decisions on anecdotal evidence -LRB- the most reliable kind ! -RRB- \nYou have to deal with Ted Cruz differently because he demands it , because his endless invocation of his scholarship and the sharp , nimble way he chooses to tell his own story signals that this is how deftly his brain operates . \nSo when a Ted Cruz spokesman later walks back the candidate 's comment that Robert Dear might have been a \"transgendered leftist activist\" by insisting that the candidate was just commenting on the lack of available information , you have to take it with a huge grain of salt . \nYes , the full context of Cruz 's statement is more openly speculative : .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz ? Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . \nIn the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . \nIs it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? \nOr do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? \nCruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . \nLee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . \nIn his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him \"more courageously or indispensably\" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . \nWhen Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . \nCruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . \nCruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . \nEssentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . \nLee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . \nLee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . \nThe bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . \nToday , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . \nAnd while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . \nAnother telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . \nAs McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . \nTo Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . \nCruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . \nAt a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . \nWhen he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . \nIn my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . \nAs Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : \"You just do n't do that . \nAnother criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . \nCruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . \nIn Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . \nBut a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . \nBut the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . \nYou can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . \nBut what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? \nThe Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . \nCarpenter said Cruz had sent a message . \nCruz has shown that one person can make a difference .\" \nBut as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz ?

Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . \nIn the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . \nIs it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? \nOr do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? \nCruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . \nLee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . \nIn his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him \"more courageously or indispensably\" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . \nWhen Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . \nCruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . \nCruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . \nEssentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . \nLee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . \nLee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . \nThe bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . \nToday , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . \nAnd while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . \nAnother telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . \nAs McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . \nTo Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . \nCruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . \nAt a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . \nWhen he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . \nIn my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . \nAs Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : \"You just do n't do that . \nAnother criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . \nCruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . \nIn Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . \nBut a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . \nBut the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . \nYou can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . \nBut what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? \nThe Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . \nCarpenter said Cruz had sent a message . \nCruz has shown that one person can make a difference .\" \nBut as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz ?

Mike Lee -LRB- R-Utah -RRB- , could pay critical dividends by building support among conservative groups and the House Freedom Caucus . \n\"One of the challenges when the Obamacare bill was in the House , was that early on was that the different parts of the party were not talking to each other ,\" Cruz said in an interview in his office . \nCollaborative and inclusive are not typically words associated with Cruz . \nNow that President Barack Obama is out of office , Cruz said his mission in the Senate is no longer to be the \"loyal opposition .\" \n\"Different circumstances call for different approaches ,\" said Cruz , who is gearing up to run for a second term next year in a closely watched race . \nCruz 's leading role has shocked some of his colleagues . \nThe group that Cruz helped develop is , in some ways , a substitute for the traditional committee process . \n\"We have skin in the game ,\" Cruz said . \nStill , there 's concern among some more centrist senators that the end-product could appeal too much to Cruz and not enough to the dozen or so Republican senators who have grave concerns about slashing Medicaid and removing protections for preexisting conditions . \nClearly he believes Lee and Cruz are crucial ; but some GOP sources said there are deep doubts among senators that Collins or Sen.

Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . \nIn the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . \nIs it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? \nOr do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? \nCruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . \nLee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . \nIn his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him \"more courageously or indispensably\" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . \nWhen Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . \nCruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . \nCruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . \nEssentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . \nLee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . \nLee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . \nThe bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . \nToday , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . \nAnd while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . \nAnother telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . \nAs McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . \nTo Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . \nCruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . \nAt a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . \nWhen he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . \nIn my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . \nAs Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : \"You just do n't do that . \nAnother criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . \nCruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . \nIn Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . \nBut a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . \nBut the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . \nYou can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . \nBut what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? \nThe Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . \nCarpenter said Cruz had sent a message . \nCruz has shown that one person can make a difference .\" \nBut as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Conservative Christians in America love Texas Sen. Ted Cruz . \nWhile other Republican presidential candidates , namely Ben Carson and Mike Huckabee , are also extremely popular with many Christians , particularly evangelicals , Cruz continues to pull in more and more of the conservative Christian vote . \nFor the third year in the row , Cruz won the Values Voter Summit Presidential Straw Poll , \"the largest gathering of evangelical voters from across the country .\" \nSo why do Christians gravitate toward Cruz ? \nCruz is a Passionate Defender of Religious Liberty . \nNo political leader is a stronger defender of religious liberty than Cruz , who has pushed back strongly against the erosion of Constitutional rights , battling \"liberal fascists\" during a time when religious freedom has been tested in this country to a degree it has not seen in recent history . \n\"We were founded by men and women fleeing religious persecution ,\" Cruz said at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition summit this year . \nCruz Is Unafraid to Take On the ` Anti-Christian ' Left . \nCruz is a fighter , repeatedly proving that he 's not only willing to go to bat for Christians , he will call out those whom he perceives to be \"anti-Christian\" -- particularly those on the radical left . \n\"Today 's Democratic Party has decided there is no room for Christians in today 's Democratic Party ,\" Cruz said in April . \nIn an interview on Sean Hannity 's show in October , Cruz responded to the president 's claim in the New York Review of Books that \"it seems as if folks who take religion the most seriously sometimes are also those who are suspicious of those not like them .\" \nCruz told Hannity that Obama 's comment was indicative of the \"strong anti-American streak\" and \"antipathy for Christians\" among those , like Obama , on the \"far left .\" \nCruz went on to praise America -- which is still a majority Christian country -- as \"an incredible force of good in this world\" which has \"spilled more blood\" for freedom than any other country . \n\"And yet , the far-left , out of which Barack Obama arose , despises American leadership in the world ,\" said Cruz . \nCruz Appears to be a Genuine Believer . \nBy all accounts , Cruz is not just \"politicking\" about his Christian principles . \nOne moment captured on a cell phone after a campaign event in October revealed just one example of many in which Cruz demonstrated his genuine belief in the power of prayer and his pastoral inclinations -LRB- still shot from Facebook post below -RRB- : . \nCruz Is Unapologetically Pro-Life . \nCruz is a passionate and vocal pro-life advocate , having \"played a leading role in several important cases , including defense of the partial-birth abortion ban , parental consent laws , and prohibiting state funds from going to abortion .\" \nWhen the shocking videos showing high-level Planned Parenthood officials discussing the company 's fetal body part trade were first released , Cruz rallied evangelicals in an effort to defund the group . \nWhen the Republican House leadership caved to pressure and failed to eliminate public funding to the nation 's leading provider of abortion , Cruz blasted those who \"failed to lift a finger to protect life .\" \nSenator Ted Cruz . \nCruz Is Strongly Pro-Israel . \nCruz has consistently come to the defense of Israel , which is an important issue for most American Christians -- particularly evangelicals -- and has been undermined repeatedly by Obama since early in his presidency . \nCruz has frequently praised Israel as America 's most important ally in the Middle East and a beacon of freedom and tolerance in a troubled region . \nPerhaps no Republican candidate has been more vocal than Cruz condemning the Iran nuclear deal , which was staunchly opposed by Israel and which conservative Christians rejected overwhelmingly .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz ? Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . \nIn no particular order , Texas senator and Republican presidential aspirant Ted Cruz has : said acts of Christian terrorism stopped centuries ago , forgetting the Ku Klux Klan and the shooting in Colorado last week ; claimed he has never met an anti-abortion activist who advocates violence , despite being endorsed by one just days before ; dismissed the need for Planned Parenthood because there is n't a shortage of \"rubbers\" in America ; and made an offhand comment that Colorado mass shooter Robert Dear could be a \"transgendered leftist activist .\" \nIt even worked in Houston , a city in a state Ted Cruz is from . \nIt 's typical Cruz : both self-aggrandizing and distant from the truth , with a little temporizing statement -LRB- \"to some extent\" -RRB- that rescues the self-aggrandizing part from being an outright lie . \nIt shifts the conversation to candidate Ted Cruz . \nIt distracts from conservatism 's violent rhetoric against Planned Parenthood and forces the fact-check process to address Cruz 's accusation . \nTed Cruz is too smart not to know that replacing all of Planned Parenthood 's services with \"rubbers\" is objectively stupid . \nTed Cruz is far from crazy , which is the essential Ted Cruz problem . \nAnd , sure , this sort of discussion might constitute playing the game of interpretation , but if Cruz would condemn Politifact for not engaging in the practice , he can hardly fault others for taking his exhortation seriously . \nBut Ted Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . \nCruz is being interpretively nasty in part because of who he is , but also because fictionalizing America 's crisis moments is dramatically successful . \nAs the Ted Cruz phenomenon glides on , without a change in tone or a moment of hesitancy , it 's easy to think of an old expression pro-wrestling expression : \"Live the gimmick , brother .\" \nTed Cruz does awful things by intelligent design . \nOn the other hand , it 's hard to believe that Cruz would seriously consider the breaking-news reporting of someone widely referred to as \"The Dumbest Man on the Internet .\" \nTed Cruz is n't any different , and buying his line that he 's uniquely earned \"Democrats '\" label of crazy not only obscures the work , it 's part of it . \nTed Cruz knows that , for all his erudition , he 's still an intellectual one-percenter in a party that rejects elites and revels in combative anti-knowledge . \nReading his book is like watching him put his mask on in the morning : the pages wear on , and the incisive first half gets quieter , as the volume on the demagoguing second half gets louder , until there he is -- Ted Cruz , brother -- and the arena goes nuts . \nEven if he is not always likable , Young Ted Cruz is an interesting person . \nCruz has mastered the useful gaffe . \nBut once you get about halfway through the book -- to national events that were part of your own memory , where you could pen the story yourself , where you are no longer reading memories so far outside the fact checker 's reach that you have to take Cruz 's word for it -- suddenly you realize that what makes Ted Cruz 's book so exceptional is what makes him exceptionally nasty . \nFor one thing , there is no plausible excuse for someone who graduated cum laude from Princeton , went to Harvard Law and clerked on the Supreme Court not doing the reading , but the Cruz argument , whatever it is , coasts through an environment in which there is no data to challenge it . \nFor instance , despite being a 340-page work , the book possesses only 66 end notes , the plurality of which are dedicated to citing quotes from famous conservatives or noteworthy persons Cruz expects resonate with a right-wing audience . \nBut it stands out when someone like Cruz inveighs against Obamacare -- his senatorial career 's Moby-Dick -- and only comes up with ham-handed anecdotes about meeting struggling Americans in the heartland . \nDuring Tuesday 's primary , candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz had a bitter Twitter exchange . \nCruz also has a favorite line he likes to use , which appears on the stump and in his book . \nNaturally , Cruz ignores that premiums rose before Obamacare , that insurance companies Chicken Little all the time about rate hikes before rolling them back , and that part of the rise relates to people who are actually sick being able to get medical care that insurance companies actually have to pay for now . \nOn that last point , for a litigator , Cruz seems really allergic to using a wonderful legal word like \"rescission ,\" which is too bad , because it explains rate hikes and changing plans . \nBut mentioning that would spoil the image of poor insurance companies that Cruz suggests were \"lured into bed with Obamacare\" via the Leninist thinking that \"the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them .\" \nShe hugs Cruz and says , \"I 'm a single mom ... I 've got six kids at home , and I 'm working five jobs . \nCruz describes the Bush 2000 campaign as reeling from John McCain 's win in New Hampshire and needing to refocus . \nLuckily , Cruz notes , the Bush campaign could run to the right of McCain on tort and campaign finance reform , two issues that get the people to the polls in droves ! \nAs it happens , those were two issues that Ted Cruz briefed George W. Bush on , while touring the state with him , which Bush later won . \nBut if you want the Ted Cruz experience in a pinch , take his condemnation of biased journalism . \nTed Cruz 's book , A Time for Truth , is , by comparison , almost delightful . \nNever mind that the rest of the speech , like most Cruz speeches , might have been recycled and already fact checked . \nNever mind that newspapers are limited by space and that Fisking an average Cruz speech requires a ream of paper . \nGiven that , please never mind that the fact that has Ted Cruz in high dudgeon was about the game Space Invaders . \nMoreover , Politifact evidently shamelessly editorialized when they fact-checked Cruz -LRB- and every conservative 's -RRB- assertion that Obama kicked off his presidency by going on \"a worldwide apology tour .\" \nThen , before confronting the issue , Cruz concedes , \"It 's true that he did n't explicitly add the words ` And I 'm sorry . '\" \nSo the new front in the liberal propaganda war is a fact check website that checked facts Cruz admits are not literally true without any poetical ear for interpretation . \nBusting Ted Cruz for selective narrative and hanging massive public policy decisions on anecdotal evidence -LRB- the most reliable kind ! -RRB- \nYou have to deal with Ted Cruz differently because he demands it , because his endless invocation of his scholarship and the sharp , nimble way he chooses to tell his own story signals that this is how deftly his brain operates . \nSo when a Ted Cruz spokesman later walks back the candidate 's comment that Robert Dear might have been a \"transgendered leftist activist\" by insisting that the candidate was just commenting on the lack of available information , you have to take it with a huge grain of salt . \nYes , the full context of Cruz 's statement is more openly speculative : .", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

She lives in the town of Brentwood  N.Y.  where she was working as a lab technician in a Manhattan hospital until June  when she quit her job. The government says  Shahnaz  was detained on July 31 at John F. Kennedy airport as she was headed to Pakistan by way of Istanbul  from where they believe she intended to enter Syria and join ISIS.\n\"As a health care professional  in 2016   Ms. Shahnaz  was a volunteer with the Syrian American Medical Society assisting other health care providers in delivering lifesaving medical care to Syrian refugees \"  her  attorney  Steve Zissou  tells NPR. \" She  witnessed the suffering of the refugees firsthand.  Her  humanitarian efforts then and since were motivated by  her  commitment to helping alleviate the plight of the people in the Middle East.\"\nAccording to Justice Department court filings  the defendant used more than a dozen credit cards — six of which allegedly were fraudulently obtained — to buy approximately $62 700 in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The government says  Shahnaz  converted the cryptocurrencies back to U.S. dollars and deposited the funds into a checking account in  her  name.  She  also allegedly obtained a $22 500 loan from a Manhattan bank.\nThe Justice Department says  Shahnaz  then began transferring money abroad to support ISIS  while taking measures to disguise the nature and purpose of the funds and avoid transaction reporting requirements.\nIf convicted of bank fraud   Shahnaz  faces up to 30 years in prison. The other charges each carry possible penalties of up to 20 years.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe Nazanin ?

If he does  he can be happy and wealthy and show McDaniels and Orton who's the real boss.\n But  then  Orton is limited in passing range and force  and he does have a bum business finger that could affect his grip and his strength and the snaps from center  and how McDaniels attacks Cincy.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitch Trubisky ? The big exhale came last week during the Bears’ open date. Four weeks into  his  tenure as an NFL starter  rookie quarterback  Mitch Trubisky  had the chance to step back  to zoom out  to make a big-picture assessment of  his  progress.\nAlong with the coaching staff   Trubisky  watched every one of  his  plays from  his  first four starts and pushed to identify  his  strengths as well as the weaknesses  he  must polish immediately to push the offense forward in the second half of the season. Bears quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone has worked closely with  Trubisky  since May and was rejuvenated by the opportunity to perform a midseason review with the rookie.\nRagone recently took time out to offer his perspective on  Trubisky ’s overall development and what’s ahead over the next two months.\nOn  Trubisky ’s overall growth after four starts\nOn how  Trubisky  learns differently\nJust in general  some guys like to spend more time on the (virtual reality) or on the field with walk-through reps or when everybody’s gone  just watching different cut-ups. And  Mitch  has done a great job with all of that.  He ’s fully invested. ...  He  has spent a ton of time in this building.  He ’s here with the coaches after practice. And  it ’s a matter of each game  it  slows down for  him . There are things that happened in each game that provide learning experiences. There are things  he  has grown from. And now there are eight games more for  him  to continue to build on.\nOn  Trubisky ’s emotional growth\nEach experience and each game  ( he ’s had) the growth of handling the huddle in loud environments. Then  it ’s being at home and handling the excitement of the home fans.  It ’s going out and reacting to any situation. In particular  it’s having a touchdown pass and coming off the field and feeling that way. Or it’s not ending a drive with a touchdown pass and seeing how  he  responds to that.  He ’s done a great job. I’ll say this about  him :  he ’s very even-keeled on the sideline.  He  plays with a lot of passion. But once that possession is over   he  comes to the sideline and  he  is ready to learn and talk about what just happened. It’s really easy to coach  him   to have a conversation with  him .  He  takes the emotion out of it and goes on to  his  next part  with  his  business. That’s a huge growth point for  him  and it’s only going to help  him  in the long run.\nPhotos of quarterback Mitch Trubisky  who the Bears selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.\nMore than anything else  I judge for  myself  each play on its own with  him . And (last week was) a great chance to go back and look at all of  his  reps in the games. It’s based on decision making. And we tell  him  all the time – myself and Coach Loggains – do your own job. You can’t control anything else once that ball leaves your hand. But it is your job to make sure that you make the best decisions when you have the ball in your hands. And for the most part  and that’s probably what I’m most excited about    is  his  ability to process and make decisions and make the right ones has been there. Throwaways  I know  go as incompletions. But it’s a huge growth point. Because young quarterbacks particularly think they can force every ball. And what  Mitch  has done a great job of is when something is not there  he  understands that a punt is better than trying to force a ball into a situation where it’s not needed. And for a quarterback at  his  age and where  he  is in  his  career to understand that pretty thoroughly right now  it’s going to be a huge advantage for  him  as  his  career progresses.\nOn the ongoing push to refine Trubisky’s footwork to improve  his  overall mechanics and accuracy\nIt goes back to a lot of muscle memory in terms of how  he  responds to that. It’s something we stress to  him . Eyes and feet. Listen to them. Trust them. There are things that happen out there around your feet that are uncontrollable. And  he  is learning each time  he  is out there that trusting the process of  his  eyes and  his  feet will not always lead to a completion but it will lead to  him  essentially having some sort of a successful play. For  him   reps in a game are important. But every time  he  steps out there  you can see the confidence  you can see  his  demeanor  you can see  his  teammates (response). Those are things that are not on the stat sheet but are vitally important to a quarterback  his  age.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . \nIn the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . \nIs it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? \nOr do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? \nCruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . \nLee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . \nIn his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him \"more courageously or indispensably\" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . \nWhen Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . \nCruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . \nCruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . \nEssentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . \nLee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . \nLee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . \nThe bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . \nToday , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . \nAnd while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . \nAnother telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . \nAs McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . \nTo Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . \nCruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . \nAt a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . \nWhen he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . \nIn my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . \nAs Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : \"You just do n't do that . \nAnother criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . \nCruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . \nIn Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . \nBut a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . \nBut the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . \nYou can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . \nBut what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? \nThe Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . \nCarpenter said Cruz had sent a message . \nCruz has shown that one person can make a difference .\" \nBut as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz ? Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . \nIn no particular order , Texas senator and Republican presidential aspirant Ted Cruz has : said acts of Christian terrorism stopped centuries ago , forgetting the Ku Klux Klan and the shooting in Colorado last week ; claimed he has never met an anti-abortion activist who advocates violence , despite being endorsed by one just days before ; dismissed the need for Planned Parenthood because there is n't a shortage of \"rubbers\" in America ; and made an offhand comment that Colorado mass shooter Robert Dear could be a \"transgendered leftist activist .\" \nIt even worked in Houston , a city in a state Ted Cruz is from . \nIt 's typical Cruz : both self-aggrandizing and distant from the truth , with a little temporizing statement -LRB- \"to some extent\" -RRB- that rescues the self-aggrandizing part from being an outright lie . \nIt shifts the conversation to candidate Ted Cruz . \nIt distracts from conservatism 's violent rhetoric against Planned Parenthood and forces the fact-check process to address Cruz 's accusation . \nTed Cruz is too smart not to know that replacing all of Planned Parenthood 's services with \"rubbers\" is objectively stupid . \nTed Cruz is far from crazy , which is the essential Ted Cruz problem . \nAnd , sure , this sort of discussion might constitute playing the game of interpretation , but if Cruz would condemn Politifact for not engaging in the practice , he can hardly fault others for taking his exhortation seriously . \nBut Ted Cruz knows exactly what he 's doing . \nCruz is being interpretively nasty in part because of who he is , but also because fictionalizing America 's crisis moments is dramatically successful . \nAs the Ted Cruz phenomenon glides on , without a change in tone or a moment of hesitancy , it 's easy to think of an old expression pro-wrestling expression : \"Live the gimmick , brother .\" \nTed Cruz does awful things by intelligent design . \nOn the other hand , it 's hard to believe that Cruz would seriously consider the breaking-news reporting of someone widely referred to as \"The Dumbest Man on the Internet .\" \nTed Cruz is n't any different , and buying his line that he 's uniquely earned \"Democrats '\" label of crazy not only obscures the work , it 's part of it . \nTed Cruz knows that , for all his erudition , he 's still an intellectual one-percenter in a party that rejects elites and revels in combative anti-knowledge . \nReading his book is like watching him put his mask on in the morning : the pages wear on , and the incisive first half gets quieter , as the volume on the demagoguing second half gets louder , until there he is -- Ted Cruz , brother -- and the arena goes nuts . \nEven if he is not always likable , Young Ted Cruz is an interesting person . \nCruz has mastered the useful gaffe . \nBut once you get about halfway through the book -- to national events that were part of your own memory , where you could pen the story yourself , where you are no longer reading memories so far outside the fact checker 's reach that you have to take Cruz 's word for it -- suddenly you realize that what makes Ted Cruz 's book so exceptional is what makes him exceptionally nasty . \nFor one thing , there is no plausible excuse for someone who graduated cum laude from Princeton , went to Harvard Law and clerked on the Supreme Court not doing the reading , but the Cruz argument , whatever it is , coasts through an environment in which there is no data to challenge it . \nFor instance , despite being a 340-page work , the book possesses only 66 end notes , the plurality of which are dedicated to citing quotes from famous conservatives or noteworthy persons Cruz expects resonate with a right-wing audience . \nBut it stands out when someone like Cruz inveighs against Obamacare -- his senatorial career 's Moby-Dick -- and only comes up with ham-handed anecdotes about meeting struggling Americans in the heartland . \nDuring Tuesday 's primary , candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz had a bitter Twitter exchange . \nCruz also has a favorite line he likes to use , which appears on the stump and in his book . \nNaturally , Cruz ignores that premiums rose before Obamacare , that insurance companies Chicken Little all the time about rate hikes before rolling them back , and that part of the rise relates to people who are actually sick being able to get medical care that insurance companies actually have to pay for now . \nOn that last point , for a litigator , Cruz seems really allergic to using a wonderful legal word like \"rescission ,\" which is too bad , because it explains rate hikes and changing plans . \nBut mentioning that would spoil the image of poor insurance companies that Cruz suggests were \"lured into bed with Obamacare\" via the Leninist thinking that \"the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them .\" \nShe hugs Cruz and says , \"I 'm a single mom ... I 've got six kids at home , and I 'm working five jobs . \nCruz describes the Bush 2000 campaign as reeling from John McCain 's win in New Hampshire and needing to refocus . \nLuckily , Cruz notes , the Bush campaign could run to the right of McCain on tort and campaign finance reform , two issues that get the people to the polls in droves ! \nAs it happens , those were two issues that Ted Cruz briefed George W. Bush on , while touring the state with him , which Bush later won . \nBut if you want the Ted Cruz experience in a pinch , take his condemnation of biased journalism . \nTed Cruz 's book , A Time for Truth , is , by comparison , almost delightful . \nNever mind that the rest of the speech , like most Cruz speeches , might have been recycled and already fact checked . \nNever mind that newspapers are limited by space and that Fisking an average Cruz speech requires a ream of paper . \nGiven that , please never mind that the fact that has Ted Cruz in high dudgeon was about the game Space Invaders . \nMoreover , Politifact evidently shamelessly editorialized when they fact-checked Cruz -LRB- and every conservative 's -RRB- assertion that Obama kicked off his presidency by going on \"a worldwide apology tour .\" \nThen , before confronting the issue , Cruz concedes , \"It 's true that he did n't explicitly add the words ` And I 'm sorry .

In certain areas  I'd have to say it's the best we've ever done.\"\n NATIONAL PRESENCE: When Meyer arrived in 2005  he said his goal was to primarily recruit regionally. But a strange thing happened over the past five years: Florida has been so successful  it can't help but get recruits from across the country. This year's class has players from seven states other than Florida.\n \"My first year in 2005 we went and tried to recruit (nationally)  and we didn't have that brand \" Meyer said. \"I think with the evolution of the media coverage and the performance of our players  Florida has become a national brand right now. We'll go cherry pick a few for a certain reason.\"\n BIGGEST NAME: DE Ronald Powell. His presence is significant in many ways  most notably where he's from. Meyer lured Powell from his home that's 90 miles from Southern Cal  then held onto him after Lane Kiffin was hired at USC. Also  Powell is considered the No. 1 player in the nation by several recruiting sites.\n BIGGEST COUP: Tampa Catholic OL Chaz Green. Meyer said the Gators began recruiting Green during his junior year but admits Florida started to fall off the radar with Green during the recruiting process. But assistant coach Dan McCarney refused to give up. And neither would Meyer. \"There was about a month when Chaz didn't pick up my phone calls \" Meyer said. \"Then  bang  all of a sudden he started answering my phone calls.  When he told us he was coming  that was a great day for us because we worked awful hard on that one.\"\n CLASS SURPRISES: Connecticut QB Tyler Murphy  Atlanta LB Michael Taylor and Homestead LB Darrin Kitchens. With current backup QB Jordan Reed preparing to move to tight end  the Gators needed a backup for John Brantley and early enrollee Trey Burton. They began recruiting Murphy late  and it helped that offensive line coach Steve Addazio was once a classmate of Murphy's father. \"He's a freakish athlete with the ball in his hands \" Meyer said. As for Taylor  Meyer said  \"We were on his radar. He was not on ours. That was our error not to be in the middle of that one.\" Taylor was MVP for his team in the Under Armour High School All-Star Game at Tropicana Field last month.

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 “reliable sources in Tehran.”\nStarting 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 people’s welfare. He’s also reported to have broadly utilized social media for aggressive rhetoric targeting the judiciary and challenging Iran’s supreme leader.\nAl Quds Al Arabi cites  Ahmadinejad ’s 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  Iran’s second largest city. He is reported to have said  “Some of the current leaders live detached from the problems and concerns of the people  and do not know anything about the reality of society.” He also allegedly charged Tehran with “mismanagement” and directed attacks against President Hassan Rouhani  saying his regime “believes that they own the land and that the people are an ignorant society.”\nPreviously 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 “a former leader of the country” had provoked people to protest.

Reformist leaders  meanwhile  sought to obtain a permit to hold a massive commemoration for those killed in the violence that has followed the disputed June 12 presidential vote.\n Ahmadinejad's latest personnel moves suggests that neither the burgeoning reformist movement shaking the country nor a week-long effort by conservatives against his pick for vice president have spurred the president to change his confrontational approach. It also highlights rising tensions between the president and fellow conservatives in parliament and elsewhere in Iran's political establishment.\n The controversy marked the second time in recent days that Ahmadinejad has faced off against fellow conservatives but ultimately been forced to back down.\n Conservative news agencies close to the government reported that Ahmadinejad abruptly sacked his ministers of Intelligence and Culture and possibly two others early Sunday in what many considered retribution for the ministers' efforts to scuttle Esfandiar Rahim Mashai's appointment as first in line to succeed the president.\n Hours later  Ahmadinejad changed his mind after he ignited a storm of criticism and was told by conservative senior lawmakers that  according to the nation's constitution  he'd have to submit his entire Cabinet to a new vote of parliament if he changed more than one minister  since he had already replaced so many during his four-year tenure.\n The president's office issued a statement saying that only Minister of Intelligence and Security Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei had been fired. Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Mohammad Hossein Saffar Harandi  a dedicated hard-liner  announced in a blistering note late Sunday that he would resign immediately after receiving \"verbal instructions\" from Ahmadinejad that he was fired.\n Though Ahmadinejad had long announced plans to reshuffle the Cabinet following his inauguration to a new term in less than two weeks  the sudden nature of the dismissals just days before the government was to expire anyway was considered an insulting rejoinder to conservative supporters of Ahmadinejad who had opposed Mashai's appointment.\n After bowing to Khamenei's request to remove Mashai as first vice-president  Ahmadinejad appointed him chief of staff.\n On Sunday  Ahmadinejad also appointed former Interior Minister Ali Kordan  who had resigned his post after admitting he had tried to bolster his resume with a phony Oxford degree  as his special inspector  who monitors the activities of the ministries and government.\n Ahmadinejad's confirmation for a second-term by Khamenei is set for Aug. 4 and his swearing-in ceremony will take place the next day  a lawmaker announced.

Do we try to escape ? What are we supposed do during a shooting ?” she and her fellow students asked their substitute teacher . Lance ’ s classroom in Illinois was a thousand miles from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School   where a gunman opened fire on Wednesday and killed at least 17 people . But the news hit close to home . “ After Florida   we were all definitely like   ‘ Oh   God   is this going to happen here ?’ ”  Lance  said . “ It ’ s very anxious to go to school after a school shooting . It makes you more aware that you ’ re not safe .”  Lance  wasn ’ t alone in her anxiety . After the latest school shooting   this time in Parkland   Fla .  teenagers across the country returned to their own high schools Thursday for another normal day . But then again   Wednesday had started out as a normal day for Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School . And it was hard not to think about that . Several students responded to a request from The Washington Post via Snapchat to talk about how the news of the tragedy weighed on them as they returned to their own classrooms . ( The Post spoke with some of those students by phone   and contacted their schools to verify their identities and attendance .) [ A loud   new voice after the latest school shooting : Kids wanting to know why adults hadn ’ t done more ] “ It makes me feel really concerned .

There ’ s no way to tell .” She added that report after report of troubled students turning on their classmates “ makes me want to be nicer   makes me want to take everyone ’ s feelings into account .” This type of response isn ’ t limited to high school students   said Robin Gurwitch   a psychologist at Duke University Medical Center . But teenagers are particularly vulnerable . “ With teens   the more stressed they are about these events   the more likely they are to have sleep problems   difficulty concentrating and irritability . It can affect school performance and relationships with peers  ” Gurwitch said . For some   the overwhelming sensation wasn ’ t fear but weariness . “ It ’ s become such a common occurrence that it ’ s hard to have a reaction at some point  ” said Aidan McGahey   15   who attends high school in Philadelphia . McGahey said his fellow students sometimes talk about shootings in the immediate aftermath   and that his religion class had tackled the subject this week . Lance dissected the news with her friends   who are similarly interested in keeping up with current events and fall on both sides of the political divide . Connor   a budding news junkie who watches “ Morning Joe ” and keeps up to date with Apple News   confessed that she and her friends didn ’ t discuss school shooting stories much because it would “ make it feel more real .” Gurwitch said that taking time away from the news was critical for teenagers when a story like the Parkland massacre is dominating headlines . She emphasized activities like reading   sports   listening to music   or other activities that allow people to avoid social media or the news for a set period of time . The American Psychological Association has issued similar guidelines for people of all ages dealing with stress related to school shootings in the news . [ We ’ re used to experiencing mass shootings online . But Parkland brought us into the classroom . ] It ’ s not uncommon for schools to have lockdown drills or add security systems to protect students in the event of an attack . But in addition to physical security measures   Gurwitch said   schools should allow discussions about traumatic events “ in a smaller group   so if there are concerns   [ students ] feel comfortable asking a question or commenting on something they may have heard .” No matter how many safe spaces schools create   the teenagers expressed frustration at the recurring issue of school shootings . “ It ’ s not something we can sit back and say   ‘ it ’ s a part of our society ’. We need to be taking active steps to resolve  ” McGahey said . “ I think we need to work to stop this .” “ It makes me upset that it ’ s something I do have to think about .

There's the twin notion that Romanoff  though he took PAC money himself as the Colorado House speaker  has forsworn its influence and now sees a new and brighter way to conduct politics.\n Of course  the problem for Romanoff is that while the whole idea may sound good in a come-from-behind primary  it may not allow you to compete in a general election.\n And so when the news site Politico asked Romjue whether Romanoff would take money from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee  he answered:\n Romanoff had been on a roll. Romanoff had caught Bennet in the polls. And Romanoff hit with his Bennet-is-a-looter TV ad  leaving Romanoff as the pure guy in the race.\n Romanoff's campaign had wisely avoided answering the DSCC question because there was no good answer. You can't really say no because everyone knows that eventually Romanoff would have to say yes.\n Romjue must have missed the memo. Here's how seriously Romanoff is taking this issue.

Walentynowicz was an anti-communist dissident who worked with Solidarity founder Lech Walesa in the early 1980s to agitate against repressive communist rule. She was close to President Lech Kaczynski  also killed in the Saturday crash. Many others aboard the plane were also their ideological brethren.\n Walentynowicz was the most famous Solidarity activist aboard  an iconic figure more closely associated with the 1980 strikes than anyone save Walesa. She had sometimes been referred to as the Rosa Parks of Poland -- a nod to the American woman who was the public face of the American civil rights movement.\n A 51-year-old widow and crane operator in 1980  Walentynowicz was only five months away from retirement when her shipyard bosses fired her for producing and distributing a newspaper critical of the regime. She had handed some copies directly to her bosses.\n Her fellow workers were outraged at the injustice of her firing and agitated to have her reinstated  resistance that led to strikes and sit-ins at the Gdansk shipyard and in factories across the country.\n \"I was the drop that caused the cup of bitterness to overflow \" she once said  according to the weekly magazine Przekroj.\n \"Anna had been at the center of the events that birthed Solidarity  and along with Lech Walesa she virtually personified the 1980 strikes in the public eye \" writes author Shana Penn in \"Solidarity's Secret: The Women Who Defeated Communism in Poland.\"\nWalentynowicz were allowed to return to work.\n But it didn't take long for Walentynowicz and the other female activists to be sidelined by Walesa and the other male organizers.\n Walentynowicz was born August 13  1929  and was 10 years old when Nazi Germany and then the Soviet Union invaded and occupied the country. Her father was killed in the war and sheshe herself fell victim to a Nazi decree that prevented Poles from continuing their education after the fourth grade -- part of an effort by the Nazis to enslave Poles.\n She was initially attracted to communism and belonged to the party but eventually became disillusioned with their \"lies and manipulation of the workers \" Penn said. \"She wasn't afraid to expose hypocrites.\"\n When Walentynowicz began her activism at the shipyard she was already widowed and had survived a near-fatal bout of cancer. Her unlikely survival from the illness left her with a sense that she had survived to carry out something worthwhile.\n \"It took someone like her unafraid of authority to tackle the Communist authorities of the day \" said Victor Ashe  a former U.S. ambassador to Poland who said he was honored to have the silver-haired Walentynowicz as a guest as his Warsaw residence on a number of occasions. \"She was an amazing person who continued to express her views actively and directly.\"", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Liza Mundy ? In her new book \" Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II   \" journalist Liza Mundy  tells the stories of many of these women who  because they were sworn to secrecy about the nature of their work  have been all but forgotten. Just because these women agreed to be invisible to the enemy  however  doesn't mean they need to be invisible to history.\n Liza Mundy \nSome of these barrier-breaking code breakers are still alive and in  Mundy 's estimation would be \"delighted\" by developments like the renaming of a residential college at Yale for Grace Hopper  \"the queen of code\" and \"mother of computing\" who was a pioneering American computer scientist and United States Navy rear admiral.\nSays  Mundy : \"We need a few more buildings to be renamed or named after some of these figures and I hope that happens. I think it will.\"\nOn the occasion of the publication of \"Code Girls \" and International Day of the Girl on Wednesday  CNN Opinion spoke with  Mundy  about  her  experience writing a book about the women  she  calls \"the hidden figures of the greatest generation.\"\n Liza Mundy : In a way  it's thanks to Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He insisted that the government consider declassifying its records around the Russian code-breaking project In a way  it's thanks to Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He insisted that the government consider declassifying its records around the Russian code-breaking project Venona   which started during the war and then continued for many decades during the Cold War. And because he prevailed  there was a document that was declassified  in which a wonderful NSA historian named Lou Benson wrote about the recruitment of a number of schoolteachers to work on it. Almost alone among historians  Lou not only noticed that there were a lot of women working on the Venona project  but he also thought that it was worthwhile to interview them. So while it was still possible  he interviewed a number of schoolteachers who were recruited during the war. And in many cases these women continued working on it for decades for the NSA. And I thought  \"Well that's an interesting kind of small story for an article of a short book.\"\n Mundy : It's really the work of : It's really the work of Agnes Driscoll   who was working on the Japanese fleet code throughout the 1920s and 1930s and kept diagnosing and re-diagnosing it as it was changing. If Agnes Driscoll had not diagnosed overall how their system worked  we would have gone into World War II with no ability to read the naval communications of the Japanese. It had taken her years to diagnose that entire system of code. We would have been a lot worse off if she hadn't spent more than a decade working on that code system and then teaching it to the male naval officers who would go out to the Pacific and then ultimately write the memoirs and get the credit.\n Mundy : It's hard even to convey what it was like. I was desperate to do it as fast as I could because I knew that I was up against an actuarial deadline -- women might be passing away as I was trying to find their phone number. I would obtain rosters with maiden names  and I had a researcher with the Washington Post helping me track down what their married names might have been and if they still had a phone number. Sometimes [the researcher] would give me a list of 12 and 11 wouldn't work or they would have passed away  but then I would call the one and leave a message and they would call me back -- or they would answer the phone.\n Mundy : When I was doing my research  I read the memoir of Virginia Gildersleeve  who was the dean of Barnard College. She was older than some of the women who served in the WAVES [the women's branch of the US Naval Reserve  better known as Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service] like Wellesley's Mildred McAfee. She and others clearly saw what was an opportunity. Before the war  women's colleges had taught women math and science but they were reluctant to train very many women because they knew they couldn't get jobs. And so when the war started  they were still skeptical about putting too many women into math majors because they just worried that all of this was going to be yanked away after the war. But I also thought Virginia Gildersleeve was very crafty. She and some of the other leaders did see this as a way to try to persuade MIT and Columbia and other places to open up some more slots in graduate school for women. I was fascinated by the way they did see [code breaking and military recruitment] as an opportunity to expand opportunities for women even as they were worried that it would be temporary after the war.\n Mundy : The Army women were civilians and the Navy women weren't. And the Navy really agonized over its no-pregnancy rule  because they worried women would get abortions. And they did. But they were just so uncomfortable with the idea of a pregnant woman in uniform or a pregnant woman serving in the military that they were actually willing to force women to resign  even if they were married  when they became pregnant. It was very hard on the women who got pregnant  because they loved the work and suddenly had to leave. Obviously  men did not have to leave if their wives got pregnant. There were several women who described really being traumatized by becoming accidentally pregnant -- married women who didn't have enough information about birth control -- and having to leave this work that they loved and that they thought was so valuable. So even during the war we were willing to sacrifice female talent because we didn't know how to cope with a pregnant woman in uniform.\n Mundy : At the very beginning [of the book]  there's a letter from one of the Navy code-breaking officers that shows they didn't want Jewish women from the Seven Sisters schools  they didn't want women with family ties to occupied European countries  who might feel sympathy to European countries. The Navy was always paranoid about any sort of \"unconventional\" background. And when African-American women were admitted to the WAVES in 1945  they were not admitted to the code-breaking facility for that same fear of anybody who seemed like an outsider.\n Mundy : The thought that recurs to me  in addition to just being grateful to be able to try to tell this story  is the phrase \"hidden figures.\" These women really were the hidden figures of the greatest generation.\n Mundy : I worried at the outset of this project that there wouldn't be enough information out there to tell the story. I was astonished when I went to the National Archives that although it was scattered and uneven  that there really was a great deal of material -- rosters  memos  oral histories. It had been overlooked by  I think it's fair to say  the many historians who have gone through these collections.

And just like Obama  whose state adjoined Iowa on the east  Pawlenty can easily stop by  as he intends to do again next week for the Iowa State Fair.\n Last weekend  he was surrounded by some of the state's best Republican talent. Sara Taylor Fagen  a White House political director for President George W. Bush  not only introduced Pawlenty to local activists but also was behind the wheel as she gave the Pawlentys a tour of her native northeast Iowa.\n Pawlenty  49  is presenting himself as a Main Street authentic conservative  who twice won statewide election as a Republican in a progressive state. He says Republicans need to shed the stereotype that their party is rooted solely in the country club and the board room. He mentions none of his potential rivals by name  of course  but it is not lost on Republicans that he is seeking to become an alternative to Romney.\n Pawlenty's visibility has grown in Republican circles since he was a finalist to be Sen. John McCain's running mate in 2008. Asked whether he benefited from not being chosen  Pawlenty paused for a moment and said  \"It seems like Sarah Palin has done very well  having been selected.\"\n In addition to his Iowa trips  Pawlenty has visited New Hampshire  site of the first presidential primary  and has traveled across the country to help Republicans. He has raised more than $2.5 million for his Freedom First political action committee  some of which he is contributing to state and federal candidates.\n While Palin and Romney have made similar contributions  they have done so from afar. As Pawlenty said his goodbyes on the farm outside of Waverly  he pulled a $500 check from his pocket and presented it directly to Bill Dix  a candidate for the Iowa Senate.\n On a sultry afternoon  sweat was soaking into Pawlenty's white shirt as he spoke individually with nearly everyone in the crowd of about 100. (He positioned himself by the lunch buffet  so a handshake was an easy stop on the way to the barbecued pork  potato salad and baked beans.)\n His conversations and speeches were peppered with homespun one-liners  including the quip about his wife  which he has been telling Minnesota crowds for years.\n On why he believes Democrats have struggled creating jobs: \"It's pretty tough to be pro-job and anti-business. That's like being pro-egg and anti-chicken.

Blankfein ? Just over a week ago  on the evening of Dec. 7  Lloyd C. Blankfein hosted a reunion of one of the most elite clubs in American finance: former partners of Goldman Sachs  the Wall Street giant he has led  with remarkable and controversial success  since 2006.\n The gathering  held at the venerable New York Athletic Club  both celebrated Goldman's past and looked toward its future. What  Blankfein was asked  did he want his legacy to be?\n Blankfein replied that like his predecessors  he hoped to position Goldman Sachs to capitalize on whatever opportunities might arise during his tenure. As bland as that might sound  few on or off Wall Street have seized opportunities in these troubled economic times as skillfully as Blankfein.\n But as President Barack Obama prods the financial industry to do more to help ordinary Americans -- he chided \"fat cat bankers\" on Sunday for increasing their pay -- some current and former Goldman executives say Blankfein has built a money machine that  while it still values its customers  culture and reputation  puts profits above all.\n Interviews with nearly 20 current and former Goldman partners paint a portrait of a bank driven by hard-charging traders like Blankfein who wager vast sums in world markets in hopes of quick profits. Discreet bankers who give advice to corporate clients and help them raise capital -- once a major source of earnings for Goldman -- have been eclipsed  these people said.\n Blankfein has surrounded himself with a tight circle of executives drawn from Goldman's trading operation. Many of these executives  like Blankfein  cut their teeth in the commodities division  J. Aron\n After first guiding Goldman through the near-collapse of the nation's financial system and then deftly extricating his bank from a federal bailout  Blankfein is now presiding over one of the richest periods in the bank's 140-year history. Blankfein has accelerated a decade-long decline of Goldman's old partnership ethos  which was built around the principle that its bankers and traders can do well -- indeed  very well -- while putting their customers first  former partners said.\n Some Goldman alumni worry that Blankfein is jeopardizing the culture of success that defined the bank for much of its modern history. They wonder if Goldman will become  as one former partner put it  \"just like every other bank on Wall Street\" -- that is  focused on short-term profits rather than long-term gains.\n Publicly  Blankfein espouses the Goldman Sachs way. But privately  current and former partners say that he has fundamentally changed the way Goldman views its customers and the broader marketplace. The changes began when Goldman went public in the late 1990s  but have accelerated under Blankfein  they say.\n Bowing to pressure from shareholders and the public to rein in runaway pay on Wall Street  Goldman announced last week that its top executives  including Blankfein  would forgo cash bonuses this year. Instead  the executives will be paid in the form of special stock -- an arrangement that  while eliminating big paydays this year  nonetheless may turn out to be enormously lucrative if Goldman's share price rises in the future.\n Today  the traders -- Blankfein's camp -- are firmly in power. While Goldman employs nearly 31 000 people  in business ranging from money management to traditional investment banking  the bank makes the bulk of its money from trading. Van Praag said 50 percent of Goldman's revenue came from fees that it charged for services like investment banking. The other half is generated by Goldman using its capital for itself and its clients. While Blankfein's traders are minting money  his investment bankers are being pressed to keep a closer eye on the bottom line. Bankers who once spent years cultivating corporate clients  in hopes of one day landing lucrative work like advising on a big merger  are now being urged to squeeze more revenue from their customers.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lloyd Blankfein ?

As a boy  Bucs cornerback Elbert Mack watched many of his favorite NFL players wear protective visors and wanted one of his own.  But he refused to wait for his parents to purchase one. Mack went the unconventional route. He cut out a section of a clear plastic 2-liter pop bottle and attached it to his youth league helmet using twist ties.  \"Those were the most fun days I had \" Mack said. \"I even played with it in the games  too.\"  His ingenuity is no surprise for a young man who years later still is proving his ability to make something out of nothing.\n Division I football seemed a long shot when Mack enrolled in junior college out of high school in Wichita  Kan. Making an NFL roster looked improbable when he went undrafted out of Troy in 2008. And securing a long-term role on an NFL defense appeared implausible even after the wiry  baby-faced prospect surprisingly made the Bucs' final roster last fall.\n But Mack  23  has established that he's the sort of player the new regime in Tampa Bay is looking for to stock its roster.\n During a great first week of training camp  Mack was one of the most intriguing players on the field. He made numerous interceptions in full-squad drills and got his hands on many other passes. He also was willing to mix it up physically in a new defensive scheme that often calls for cornerbacks to engage receivers at the line of scrimmage.\n \"We're definitely a little bit more in-your-face defense \" he said.\n \"I like people to think they're going to push me over \" he said. \"Then  when they see the fight in me  it changes things. I'm not going to say that I'm going to always win  but I'm definitely going to fight.\"\nMack is holding up just fine.\n In Mack's likely role as the nickel back  Morris said Mack can expect to be viewed as a weakness. When the defense goes to a three-cornerback lineup  the third one to enter the game is the most likely to be targeted. Who better to fill that role than perhaps the team's most defiant player?\n Mack has been in this position before. At Troy in Alabama  balls flew in his direction as opponents tried to avoid testing his feared teammate Leodis McKelvin  the Bills' 2008 first-round draft pick. And Mack snatched eight interceptions to lead the nation his senior year.\n The next phase of Mack's development is to thrive in his expanded role. He also will look to establish himself as a possible long-term solution when Barber  34  departs.\n \"I'm not trying to replace Ronde \" Mack said of his fellow 5-foot-10 cornerback. \"Ronde will never be replaced. But you can't play the game forever.\"\n If Mack can follow in Barber's large footprints  he will continue a trend he started long ago.\n \"Everywhere I go  it seems like I go through the back but leave out the front \" Mack said. \"This is the last step  so hopefully I can leave that legacy here.\"", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bo Pelini ?

Over a span of several months  71-year-old President Mamadou Tandja has imposed rule by decree  cracked down on opponents and the press  and dismantled parliament and the constitutional court  which oppose his plan and together represented the last real checks on his rule.\n On Tuesday  a controversial referendum could remove the last obstacle in Tandja's way -- the constitution -- replacing it with a new one that does away with term-limits and simultaneously gives him greatly boosted powers and an unprecedented three-year extension of his rule.\n \"He took the oath of office swearing on the Quran to protect our nation's democratic institutions \" opposition leader Mahamadou Issoufou said. \"But instead  he is destroying them.\"\n Opponents say Tandja is clinging to power so his family  clan and entourage can benefit from an influx of wealth from large-scale projects that are under way. Tandja denies it and says he is only obeying the will of his people  who he feels want him to finish projects to develop one of the poorest nations in the world.\n \"The people see the future and they are asking their president to continue to serve  so he completes this work \" Tandja told The Associated Press in an interview Friday at his residence  a complex of low-rise sand-brown buildings surrounded by palm trees. \"But the constitution does not permit me to stay ... that's why the people demand a new one.

Today he lives in a modest home on a dirt road in the sleepy capital.\n Tandja  however  told The AP he was \"afraid of nothing.\"\n Any influence foreign donors may have has been undermined by several huge new projects that have buoyed Tandja and are unlikely to grind to a halt. Among them: a US$5 billion (euro3.5 billion) deal with China to build an oil refinery and extract new crude from the desert  a US$1.7 billion (euro1.2 billion) accord with French nuclear giant Areva to build the world's second biggest uranium mine and a hydroelectric dam financed with US$50 million (euro35 million) from the Islamic Development Bank.\n Tandja claims his actions are legal  but opponents say he could only rule by decree if Niger was under threat and parliament was in place to safeguard against abuse. Tandja dissolved the constitutional court -- the only body that could judge such disputes -- after it ruled the referendum illegal.

It would seem as if Zimbabwe’s military has  President Robert Mugabe  backed into a corner.\nThe 93-year-old has been held under army supervision since the military took over the airwaves on Nov. 14  and tanks patrol the still quiet streets of the capital  Harare. His former vice president-turned-rival Emmerson Mnangagwa  whose abrupt dismissal the week before triggered the political crisis  is back in the capital and determined to take power—seemingly with the blessing of the armed forces. Meanwhile  Zimbabweans are already celebrating the downfall of a dictator who has held the country in  his  iron grip for the past 37 years.\nYet  Mugabe  refuses to relinquish power before elections slated for April 2018  even as the military  the opposition and members of  his  own party insist that stands down immediately and hand power to Mnangagwa. And he can. Because he holds a trump card: the fear that the military’s power play could be called a military coup.\nYou could be forgiven for thinking that this was indeed a coup — despite the army’s insistence it has not taken over the government. Zimbabwean intelligence reports  cited by Reuters  suggest that Mnangagwa may have been planning for Mugabe’s exit with the military for more than a year. And Zimbabwe’s military chief General Constantino Chiwenga’s recent trip to Beijing to meet with the Chinese defense minister  though billed as a “normal military exchange ” is now raising questions. China maintains a close diplomatic and economic relationship with Zimbabwe  and its support for any change in government would be vital.\nIf the military does force  Mugabe  out of power  even with the support of the populace  it would still be considered a coup. That would automatically trigger suspension from the African Union as well as the 15-nation Southern Africa Development Community  and all of their activities. The region  and even European nations would likely impose economic sanctions. Zimbabwe would have trouble getting development assistance or even loans from international banks. And even the United States’ limited engagement with Zimbabwe would have to be dialed back. The U.S. Foreign Assistance Act “restricts assistance to the government of any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup or decree.” That means that U.S. support for family planning  HIV/AIDS prevention  governance programs and  ironically  democracy promotion  could be cut.\nIf  Mugabe  stands down on  his  own  however  the political transition maintains a veneer of legality that ensures the next government  whatever it looks like  has a soft landing and the chance of international economic assistance. “If this transition  for which Zimbabweans and friends of Zimbabwe have been waiting for such a long time  is to have a chance of succeeding it will need international engagement ” says J. Peter Pham  director of the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center. Zimbabwe is already in economic freefall  beset by hyperinflation and unemployment so high that an estimated 3 million citizens are now living in neighboring countries. “No one wants to provoke a crisis that will send even more Zimbabweans fleeing over the border.”\nEven members of Mugabe’s own party  Zanu PF  seem to understand what’s at stake. The party is working on its own transition plan  senior officials told Reuters on Friday  drafting a resolution to impeach the president if he refuses to stand down. “There is no going back ” the official told Reuters. “If he becomes stubborn  we will arrange for him to be fired on Sunday. When that is done  it’s impeachment on Tuesday.”\nIn the meantime  Harare’s streets remain calm  and Zimbabwean’s characteristic black humor about their own predicament remains intact: “Mugabe is suddenly a real Zimbabwean: an adult with several degrees just sitting idly at home ” tweeted @CynicHarare  a self-proclaimed “detractor” from Harare.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Higbie said she had to drop the story and jump to deadline work  and she assumed that someone else would pick up the editing later.

He's not quite paraphrasing gun-lovin' Charlton Heston  You can have my bank when you pry it from my cold  dead fingers. Not yet. But Conoley is battling every way he knows how to win precious time he says he needs to revive Horizon Bank's role as a respected lender to small businesses in Bradenton  Manatee County and the surrounding area.\n \"We are profitable and  yes  we are desperately trying to raise new capital \" says Conoley. Unlike most bankers struggling under the thumbs of bank examiners  Conoley wants to tell his story  that Horizon can come back from the brink  even as part of him listens for the sound of the FDIC knocking on his door with the message: This bank is closed.\n A boyish 51  Conoley sits in his modest office at Horizon  located on the corner of a shopping center near modest homes and businesses. He points to the inexpensive trappings of his main office  including the Formica surface at the teller windows  as tangible proof he knows the value of a buck.\n That  Conoley says  is why Horizon makes a difference in a place like Bradenton.\n Indiana born and Purdue University educated  Conoley's been a Florida banker for decades. He worked for Barnett Bank  the last big bank to be based in Florida before out-of-state behemoths bought it and dominated the state. He started Horizon in the late 1990s by borrowing startup money on his own credit card because he wanted to control his own destiny and wanted to stay in his beloved Bradenton.\n Conoley is bitter over what he sees as a double standard. His community bank's capital levels and loan problems are no worse than those at giant Citibank  he says. But Citibank is not going to fail. When the U.S. Treasury unveiled its Wall Street bailout scheme with a plan to lend government money to banks  Citibank was among the big banks to get lots of new capital.\n When Horizon applied for nearly $5 million from the feds  Conoley says the Treasury never responded. Later  the banker says  after prodding  the government finally told him to take back Horizon's application. That way  it would look better than the bank being denied funds. Conoley refused.\n Two allies of Conoley are Florida Bankers Association chief Alex Sanchez in Tallahassee and lobbyist Karen Thomas  who heads government relations at the Independent Community Bankers of America trade group in Washington.\n None of this cheers Conoley in his quest to save Horizon Bank.\n If he pulls off this revival and Horizon sticks around  Conoley may be banking's miracle worker. But even if the FDIC stops by at closing time some Friday evening and hangs its \"Bank Closed\" signs on the doors  this banker will know he gave it his best shot.\n Robert Trigaux can be reached at       trigauxsptimes.com.

Guan Weili  the 47-year-old founder   didn’t start out with grand ambitions.  He  simply was struck by the paucity of treatment when working as a clinician at Wenzhou Mental Hospital   his  first job on graduation in 1987.\nTrained in general practice at Wenzhou Medical University   Guan  was assigned arbitrarily to work at a mental hospital. Psychiatry hasn't been a popular area of specialization in China  but the career suited  him  well. The hospital was near  his  home  and  he  met  his  wife  Wang Lianyue  a nurse working in the same unit. Today she is his top lieutenant as the company's executive director and general manager. Together they own a third of Kangning.\nSensing both need and opportunity   Guan  started  his  own hospital in 1996  initially with 20 beds  encouraged by a local government with a reputation for fostering the freest brand of capitalism in China. Soon  he  bought land in then suburban Wenzhou for future growth.  His  wife joined two years later  when an expanded hospital was built.\nLater the city of Wenzhou's freewheeling underground banking network would help  him  cover cash-flow needs  though at usurious rates.  He  had no choice. Chinese law bars hospitals from pledging their facilities as collateral for bank loans.\nNo matter how desirable the room services  the ultimate goal is to reduce  not prolong  the stay. Thanks to enhanced efficacy of treatment   Guan  says  his  patients now each spend on average 47 days in hospital  compared with the Chinese industry's 60 days and as long as 90 days just a decade ago. \"With better medications and therapies come better results and shorter therapy sessions \"  he  says.\nStill  mental patients need longer and more intensive care than most physical hospitalizations. Even one with mild syndromes might stay one or two weeks   he  adds. That calls for more beds. On average  for every 100 outpatient visits a day  400-bed capacity is needed  according to  Guan --the reverse of the standard hospital formula. Wenzhou Kangning now averages 150 at its owned units.\nPrivate psychiatric care in China grew at a compounded 20% annually to 2014  largely to treat common disorders like anxiety  depression  substance abuse and psychosis. Among the key hubs is Guangzhou  a megacity of 13 million where  Xinhua News reported  68 out of every 100 citizens suffer insomnia. Elsewhere  large corporate employers such as Foxconn offer 24-hour hotlines and suicide prevention counsel.  Guan  sees the upsurge as a by-product of the nation's fast economic growth  likening it to Japan's experience at a similar stage of development.\nSpecialized mental hospitals have been around since the Chinese revolution in 1949  many drawing on care houses left behind by Christian missionaries.

Anyone who watched Pacquiao cement his place in boxing lore Saturday night by giving Miguel Cotto a terrible beating would have gladly paid a few more dollars to see him in action again  even if it was with a microphone in his hands.\nAnyone who watched Pacquiao cement his place in boxing lore Saturday night by giving Miguel Cotto a terrible beating would have gladly paid a few more dollars to see him in action again  even if it was with a microphone in his hands.\n Across an ocean  a grateful country celebrated the kind of hero they never dreamed possible. For a few brief hours the devastation of a typhoon was forgotten  and even the Filipino army took a break from chasing rebels to cheer Pacquiao on.\n They used to have him as their own. Not many people outside the Philippines paid much attention to the little fighter with the big hands even as he kept moving up in weight over the years and winning belts by the handful along the way.\n But now they're going to have to share Manny Pacquiao. Greatness comes with a price  and it's hard to argue that Pacquiao hasn't now earned a spot among boxing's greats.\n Maybe not Muhammad Ali great  as promoter Bob Arum was trying to claim when he said Pacquiao was better than any fighter he ever promoted  including Ali. But it's Arum's job to build Pacquiao up  especially with negotiations for a possible megafight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. expected to begin this week.\n Still  no fighter had ever won titles in seven different weight classes  even in an era where titles are as common as platinum blondes in the MGM Grand casino. And no fighter in recent times has had the kind of year Pacquiao wrapped up by stopping a game but outclassed Cotto 55 seconds into the 12th round of their welterweight title fight.\n He leaped into the global boxing consciousness 11 months ago by making Oscar De La Hoya quit  giving him such a beating that he retired. He followed that by knocking Ricky Hatton stiff in the second round with a left hand that left Hatton contemplating his mortality.\n And then came Saturday night  when he put on six more pounds to fight the supposedly bigger and harder punching Cotto. It looked early as if it may have been a mistake  with Cotto controlling the action in the first round with a sharp jab and accurate punches.\n Bad advice. Less than a minute into the third round  it was a right hand from Pacquiao that put Cotto down for the first time. He was up quickly and the two continued battling at a frenzied pace late into the fourth round when Pacquiao threw a huge left hand as Cotto was moving forward and dropped him for the second time.\n Cotto was never the same after that and Pacquiao was relentless in administering a beating that sent blood flowing down Cotto's face  staining his white trunks. By the ninth round he was taking such punishment that his wife and young son got up from their ringside seats and left the arena  unable to watch any further.\n Once again  Pacquiao had not just beaten a world class fighter  but systematically dismantled him. He did it in his usual -- and very unusual -- style  bouncing in and out and throwing punches from all angles in a frenetic style never before seen in boxing.\n When it was all over  Pacquiao had another belt and his large entourage probably had a few more members.

Now  Momoh  watched as the gem found in from a field not far from  his  tin-roof room home was snapped up for $6 536 360.\nThen  Momoh  did something unprecedented:  he  decided to hand it over to the government.  He  figured the money made on selling the stone would be used for public services in a country recently devastated by Ebola and mudslides . For weeks afterwards in Sierra Leone  websites and bars alike in Sierra Leone were abuzz with talk of the giant diamond. “I don't know whether [ he ’s] being honest or naïve ” one poster wrote on Facebook. “But I seriously doubt whether [President Ernest Bai] Koroma will care to share the proceeds with his kitchen cabinet.”\nThe dealer  a man with years of experience in the murky world of diamond trading  became the first of several who would try to persuade  Momoh  to smuggle the gem on the black market  and rake in tens of thousands of dollars — possibly more — for  himself .  Momoh  considered the proposal.  His  wife and three kids were waiting back home in Koryadu  a village so poor it has no running water  electricity or paved roads  despite literally sitting on diamond fields. .\n Emmanuel Momoh   a tall and soft-spoken pastor from Sierra Leone who had travelled outside  his  country for the first time  was following nervously as some 70 bids came in online and in phone calls. Going under the hammer was a massive gem called the “Peace Diamond ” which was expected to fetch tens of millions of dollars.  Momoh  had briefly been its owner.\nAfter years of struggling to feed  his  family on a paltry income as an evangelical preacher (and selling peanuts as a side business)   Momoh  applied for a mining license in 2012. In Sierra Leone’s diamond-rich eastern region  villagers often pool their money into artisanal mines. Few  though  strike it lucky in the unregulated and often-dangerous informal mines.  Momoh ’s team dredged up a few carats a month  making precious little profits.\nThe country’s gems were once at the heart of Sierra Leone’s brutal war that ended in 2002.  Momoh  lived through the decade-long conflict waged over who would control mineral-rich fields like the ones where  his  diggers made their lucky find. The stones found there were smuggled across the borders by rebels in exchange for arms and ammunitions. The digging was carried out by an enslaved population under threat of death by the rebels  earning them the dark nickname “blood diamonds” and eventually setting off an international backlash against their sale.\nArtisanal mining — mining without heavy equipment — is back breaking work. Using spades  crowbars  and pick axes  diggers sift through several tons of earth to find a single carat of diamonds. The physical labor takes a toll  with miners often suffering hernias  exhaustion and exposure to malaria and parasites by drinking from polluted streams.  Momoh  often paid their medical bills  a drain  he  could barely afford.\nBy March this year   he ’d told  his  wife  he  was considering letting  his  diggers go. “I told my wife  it’s very difficult to balance between our family needs and those of workers. It’s challenging. You’re looking for something you don’t know if you’ll ever find.”\nSo when a knock came on his door on the evening of March 13   Momoh  hoped there hadn’t been an accident. Four dust-covered workers walked into  his  living room. One of them  a man called Komba Johnbull  said  he  first needed 800 000 leones — roughly $100 and easily an entire month’s wage. “ He  said  ‘I think something important has happened. But before I tell you  you have to give me 800 000 leones ’”  Momoh  recalled. “I said  ‘what do you mean  what are you talking about?’”\nAs the manager and financial supporter of the group   Momoh  was the legal owner of anything discovered. But tradition dictates that diggers are entitled to a dash  or stipend  from their financier when they make a significant find. Quickly realizing it must be big news to require such a hefty dash   Momoh  once again scraped together the cash and gave it to  his  worker.\n He  was stunned at the gem that was handed over to  him .\n“The reaction was — I mean  everyone was just… ”  he  faltered  trying to summon the words. “Every one of us was very happy. We knew it was special.”\nStill  at that point no one in the room realized quite how big a find they had on their hands. Diamonds in Sierra Leone are some of the highest quality in the world  typically so clear and transparent that they’re known as “glasses.” The rock in front of  Momoh  was orange-hued  with tiny red speckles.\n Momoh  decided to take it to a diamond dealer in Kono who was known for paying cash upfront with minimal fuss. Miners are legally allowed to sell smaller diamonds  though larger ones have to be handed over to the government  who then share a fraction of the final sale price with the original owners.\nThe dealer immediately suggested a different option: without alerting anyone else  they could find a buyer and share the money between themselves. “He said  there’s no need to sell this. If you take this diamond to the government  you will not get anything out of it ”  Momoh  recalled.\nThe dealer refused to hand back the diamond as he desperately tried to convince  Momoh  to follow his plan. The discussion dragged on for hours. “It was very difficult to remove that diamond from the Lebanese [dealer]. We stayed four or five hours in that office that night  until finally we are able to convince  him  to bring that diamond out.”", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Isaias Afwerki ?

Schmidt ? Three years ago  Eric E. Schmidt  the chief executive of Google  jogged onto a San Francisco stage to shake hands with Steve Jobs  Apple's co-founder  to help him unveil a transformational wonder gadget -- the iPhone -- before throngs of journalists and adoring fans at the annual MacWorld Expo.\n Google and Apple had worked together to bring Google's search and mapping services to the iPhone  the executives told the audience  and Schmidt joked that the collaboration was so close that the two men should simply merge their companies and call them \"AppleGoo.\"\n \"Steve  my congratulations to you \" Schmidt told his corporate ally. \"This product is going to be hot.\" Jobs acknowledged the compliment with an ear-to-ear smile.\n Today  such warmth is in short supply. Jobs  Schmidt and their companies are now engaged in a gritty battle royale over the future and shape of mobile computing and cell phones  with implications that are reverberating across the digital landscape.\n In a statement  Schmidt concurred. \"I continue to believe  as many do  that Steve Jobs is the best CEO in the world today  and I admire Apple and Steve enormously \" he wrote.\n Schmidt hasn't shied away from taking public swipes at Apple  either. In January at the World Economic Forum  when asked what he thought of Apple's new iPad  due to go on sale early next month  he joked to reporters: \"You might want to tell me the difference between a large phone and a tablet.\"\n Although Jobs and Schmidt both began working in Silicon Valley in the late 1970s  their paths rarely crossed.

But by 2001  with Jobs back at Apple and Schmidt running Google  they shared a singular mission: limiting Microsoft's hegemony to the personal computer and ensuring that Bill Gates didn't dominate the frontier of online services and mobile devices.\n When Schmidt was invited to join Apple's board in 2006  he and Jobs lavished praise on each other.\n By all accounts  Schmidt and Jobs were never close friends. But they dined together on several occasions  according to a former associate of Schmidt's  and Jobs never hesitated to call Schmidt directly to voice his opinions. Schmidt  several friends say  relished his position on Apple's board and the proximity it gave him to one of the most famous figures in American business.\n As tensions mounted between Schmidt and Jobs  their infighting became more public. When Google tried to get its voice mail management program  Google Voice  onto the iPhone  Apple blocked the effort last July  citing privacy concerns. Then  last August  Schmidt stepped down from Apple's board  prompted in part by regulatory concerns over ties between the companies but also because Apple said his position had become untenable.\n When Jobs announced Schmidt's departure from the board  he noted that with Android and plans for a computer operating system  Google was \"unfortunately\" entering more of Apple's \"core business.\"\n While Apple conducted due diligence on the deal  AdMob agreed to a 45-day \"no shop\" provision  a routine clause that prevented the startup from offering itself for sale to others  according to three people briefed on the negotiations. But after Apple inexplicably let 45 days pass without consummating its offer  Google pounced. Their interest piqued by Apple's pursuit of the start-up  Schmidt  along with Page  Brin and other Google executives  began intensely courting Omar Hamoui  AdMob's young chief executive. AdMob  the Google guys argued  belonged in their corporate family because Google -- unlike Apple -- was an old pro in advertising. They also promised that AdMob employees would be able to cash out stock options sooner than Apple's deal would have allowed. It also didn't hurt that Google was willing to pay a 25 percent premium over Apple's offer. Three days after the no-shop provision expired  Google agreed to buy AdMob -- putting a whopping $750 million price tag on a four-year-old company with modest revenue. Jilted and angry  Jobs speculated that AdMob might have violated its legal obligations  with help from Google  according to two people briefed on the fallout from the negotiations.\n Campbell  a former college football coach and the former chief executive of Intuit  has played pivotal roles at Google. He sat in on high-level management meetings  counseled Schmidt individually in private sessions every other week  helped to establish the company's management structure  and had a hand in smoothing over the initially turbulent relationship between Schmidt and Google's founders.\n While Campbell has tried to be a diplomat and smooth over the problems between Jobs and Schmidt  the task hasn't been easy. Campbell declined to comment for this article  but people briefed on the matter say that throughout last fall  Jobs and Schmidt each lobbied Campbell to sever his connection with the other's company  at times even giving him ultimatums to do so.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Jobs ? Now an independent consultant  Blankenship was previously a vice president at Tesla Motors from 2010 to 2013  and a vice president of real estate at Apple  working closely alongside  Steve Jobs  to launch the first 165 Apple Stores worldwide before that.\nBlankenship recently sat down with Business Insider deputy executive editor Matt Turner to discuss  the visionary leadership of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk   and how  they  set  their  companies up for success from the beginning.\nAt Apple  we looked around at what was going on in the world at the time  and the technologies that were available that weren't in phones of the time. If you went back 10 years ago and you looked at a Motorola flip phone — one of the hottest phones — or the Palm  Nokia  et cetera  they worked  but there was so much more potential.  Steve  just saw so much more opportunity for what this device could be.\n Steve  just saw so much more opportunity for what this device could be.\nThey had a phone  which then enabled the real disruptive part of that technology  which was the app store. Think about it  for two  three  four years  Apple never advertised the phone; it was \"there's an app for that.\" If you step back  what would Uber be today without a smartphone? What would Facebook be? What  Steve  saw were opportunities with existing things that other people just didn't see.\nWith Elon  it's very  very interesting talking to  him  because everything really does have a bigger picture to it. You think about Tesla. Well  when I first met with  him  six or seven years ago   he  had this vision  and the vision was to move the planet away from fossil fuels and into renewable resources. Tesla is a part of that  but it's not the whole picture. It's moving people to electric vehicles  but what else could you do? Well  if you're building an electric car you have to have a lot of batteries  so you go to a battery factory. Well  if you've got these batteries what else could you do with them? You could do a battery wall  a battery pack that hangs on the wall — you charge it up and run your house and car off of it. And then what's missing is solar  so a year ago they merged with Solar City.\nNow you can take this energy from this great big fusion reactor in the sky  put it in batteries and run your car and your house. It's a bigger picture than what other people are doing. You might ask  well  why don't other car dealers do this? Or why don't other manufacturers do this? It's because they just don't see things the way a  Steve Jobs  and an Elon Musk do — and they have the conviction to make it happen.\nTurner: How alike are those two people   Steve Jobs  and Elon Musk?  They 're almost iconic now. What similarities do  they  share  and what was it like to work with  them ?\nBlankenship:  They  share a lot of the same qualities.  They  have a conviction and a belief that the direction  they 're going is right. Regardless of what anybody else says  the direction is right.\nTurner: How much of those companies are tied up in the individual? Clearly  Apple exists after  Steve Jobs   but how much of the culture that's there was really  the Steve Jobs culture ? How does  it  survive on after  he 's no longer there? What would you make of Apple today?\nBlankenship: When you put together the group of people I just described  those people have a can-do mind-set  that nothing's impossible: \"We're doing something bigger than making an electronic device; there's a bigger purpose here.\" Look at what the results have been of Apple. Yes   Steve  passed away in 2011  but look at the way the company has continued to evolve as a service company: How many millions of iPhone X's do you think they're going to take on order for over the next couple of weeks? It's going to be massive. The company today isn't going through the product innovations on an every three-year basis that it was in the 10 years between 2000 and 2010  but I think it's finding ways that the device has become more personal and more embedded in what you do and how you do it  which aligns you to the platform in an incredible way. Tim [Cook] has done a really good job of doing that.\nTurner: What you've described at both Apple and Tesla with  Steve Jobs and Elon Musk  is a mission at the heart of the company and its strategy. Are there any other companies or people you see out there that when you look at them you say  that's the same thing?\nBlankenship: I think there are different types of missions. Yes  Elon and  Steve  had their missions. If you look at Amazon  Amazon's mission  without a doubt  is the customer: What can we do for the customer? What can we do to make the experience better for the customer? How do we have the best customer experience on the planet?

It would seem as if Zimbabwe’s military has  President Robert Mugabe  backed into a corner.\nThe 93-year-old has been held under army supervision since the military took over the airwaves on Nov. 14  and tanks patrol the still quiet streets of the capital  Harare. His former vice president-turned-rival Emmerson Mnangagwa  whose abrupt dismissal the week before triggered the political crisis  is back in the capital and determined to take power—seemingly with the blessing of the armed forces. Meanwhile  Zimbabweans are already celebrating the downfall of a dictator who has held the country in  his  iron grip for the past 37 years.\nYet  Mugabe  refuses to relinquish power before elections slated for April 2018  even as the military  the opposition and members of  his  own party insist that stands down immediately and hand power to Mnangagwa. And he can. Because he holds a trump card: the fear that the military’s power play could be called a military coup.\nYou could be forgiven for thinking that this was indeed a coup — despite the army’s insistence it has not taken over the government. Zimbabwean intelligence reports  cited by Reuters  suggest that Mnangagwa may have been planning for Mugabe’s exit with the military for more than a year. And Zimbabwe’s military chief General Constantino Chiwenga’s recent trip to Beijing to meet with the Chinese defense minister  though billed as a “normal military exchange ” is now raising questions. China maintains a close diplomatic and economic relationship with Zimbabwe  and its support for any change in government would be vital.\nIf the military does force  Mugabe  out of power  even with the support of the populace  it would still be considered a coup. That would automatically trigger suspension from the African Union as well as the 15-nation Southern Africa Development Community  and all of their activities. The region  and even European nations would likely impose economic sanctions. Zimbabwe would have trouble getting development assistance or even loans from international banks. And even the United States’ limited engagement with Zimbabwe would have to be dialed back. The U.S. Foreign Assistance Act “restricts assistance to the government of any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup or decree.” That means that U.S. support for family planning  HIV/AIDS prevention  governance programs and  ironically  democracy promotion  could be cut.\nIf  Mugabe  stands down on  his  own  however  the political transition maintains a veneer of legality that ensures the next government  whatever it looks like  has a soft landing and the chance of international economic assistance. “If this transition  for which Zimbabweans and friends of Zimbabwe have been waiting for such a long time  is to have a chance of succeeding it will need international engagement ” says J. Peter Pham  director of the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center. Zimbabwe is already in economic freefall  beset by hyperinflation and unemployment so high that an estimated 3 million citizens are now living in neighboring countries. “No one wants to provoke a crisis that will send even more Zimbabweans fleeing over the border.”\nEven members of Mugabe’s own party  Zanu PF  seem to understand what’s at stake. The party is working on its own transition plan  senior officials told Reuters on Friday  drafting a resolution to impeach the president if he refuses to stand down. “There is no going back ” the official told Reuters. “If he becomes stubborn  we will arrange for him to be fired on Sunday. When that is done  it’s impeachment on Tuesday.”\nIn the meantime  Harare’s streets remain calm  and Zimbabwean’s characteristic black humor about their own predicament remains intact: “Mugabe is suddenly a real Zimbabwean: an adult with several degrees just sitting idly at home ” tweeted @CynicHarare  a self-proclaimed “detractor” from Harare.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

He became a highly paid consultant to Medtronic when he joined Washington University in St. Louis in mid-2006.\n In a report last year  Army officials accused him of inflating the number of combat soldiers whose leg injuries had been successfully treated with the product. Officials also found that he had forged the names of four Army doctors before submitting the study to a medical journal for publication.\n After a lengthy review  the Washington University panel concluded that it had been possible for Kuklo to support the number of leg injuries he reported if such injuries were defined broadly. The panel also raised the possibility that some of the data discrepancies had reflected problems in Walter Reed's patient record-keeping system.\nKuklo to support the number of leg injuries he reported if such injuries were defined broadly. The panel also raised the possibility that some of the data discrepancies had reflected problems in Walter Reed's patient record-keeping system.\n Seizing on that finding  Kuklo's lawyer sent a letter on Thursday to Sen. Charles E. Grassley  describing it as exonerating his client. Grassley  a R-Iowa  began an investigation of Kuklo's study after it was the subject of a Page 1 article in The New York Times in May.\n In his presentations to the panel  Kuklo maintained that he had included the other doctors' names as a courtesy and had not intended to mislead any one. But the committee disagreed  finding that Kuklo's decision to use four different handwriting styles to sign for the physicians suggested \"intentional deception.\"\n The panel also found that Kuklo had committed research misconduct in representations he made about another study. As a result of the controversy surrounding his Infuse study  Medtronic suspended his consulting agreement.\n In recommending sanctions  the panel pointed out that Kuklo had already left the institution voluntarily. In its statement  Washington University said that his resignation was not being reconsidered.", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jenny Chang ?

And he has watched his once strong support within the RNC rank and file all but evaporate as Republican leaders on Capitol Hill and in states across the country signaled they desired new leadership.\n No less than a half dozen Republicans are weighing challenges to Steele or have launched candidacies.

Then  with the Statue of Liberty sweeping into the shot  comes a dire warning that freedom is fragile: Democrats  he says  are \"experimenting with America.\"\nThe camera zooms in on a bespectacled Steele  who asks viewers for donations. \"Our freedom \" he says with a smile. \"It's worth fighting for.\"\nThe television advertisement  which aired in selected markets last month  is vintage Steele _ affable  charismatic and seizing the spotlight. But the ad's star is not running for anything. He's the chairman of the Republican National Committee  with a mandate to promote his party rather than himself.\nSteele has put a public face on what had been largely a behind-the-scenes job  hoping to foster what he has called a \"hip-hop\" Republican renaissance. That high profile has been accompanied by a record of lavish spending and a string of gaffes  leading some party activists to complain that Steele revels in the perks of the office while neglecting some of the onerous work necessary to reclaim majorities in the House and Senate. This narrative grew more damaging last week with the disclosure that RNC staffers approved a $1 900 bill at a Hollywood nightclub that features topless dancers mimicking lesbian sex acts while wearing bondage gear.\nStill there have been no calls for Steele's ouster  and some top Republicans have calculated that there is no upside in forcing out the first black chairman of a party largely dominated by white Southerners _ especially not while the GOP is winning under his watch. Steele claimed credit for recent Republican victories in Massachusetts  Virginia and New Jersey  telling reporters in January: \"I won two governorships and a host of special elections.\"\nSome Republicans question Steele's contribution to the party's recent successes. Nevertheless  \"To the victor go the spoils \" said Ron Kaufman  a former RNC chairman who worked against Steele in the leadership race. \"Is the party better off today than the day Michael Steele got elected?

He offered a break with history as the first African American chairman of what he referred to over and over again as the \"party of Lincoln.\"\n\"The party has really wallowed in the sewers of racial politics in the country \" said NAACP President Ben Jealous  a longtime Steele friend. \"Mike Steele is their chance to get back on higher ground.\"\nSteele was distrustful of the staff he inherited and the Beltway strategists who cycled through the committee. \"When they drink that Potomac River water a while  it changes them  and Michael has tried never to drink that water \" said John Kane  a close friend who ran the Maryland Republican Party when Steele was lieutenant governor.\nSo less than a week after his election  Steele asked each staffer to submit a resignation letter. They were told the chairman would decide who could stay  former aides recalled. He let dozens go.\nIn his early months  Steele  who had been a Fox News Channel commentator  gave several interviews that led to damaging blunders. On CNN  Steele dismissed Rush Limbaugh  a popular voice for the right  as an \"entertainer\" and said Limbaugh's radio talk show can be \"incendiary\" and \"ugly.\" He told GQ magazine that abortion was \"an individual choice \" going against his party's antiabortion platform.\nMeanwhile  he was making cosmetic changes to the party operation. Steele disliked the dark-wood furnishings in his office  telling GQ it was \"way too male for me.\" So he had the RNC spend $18 500 on a new wooden desk  armchairs  a couch and art for the walls  according to aides.\nWhen Steele hit the road to meet local volunteers and operatives  he often brought a photographer to document it all. At party headquarters in Washington  the hallways were decorated with jumbo-size pictures of Steele shaking hands.\nSteele declined several requests for interviews for this story because he believes he has received unfair scrutiny from The Washington Post dating to his political career in Maryland  his spokesman Doug Heye said. \"Profile after profile after profile by The Washington Post that almost borders on stalking \" Heye said. \"At a certain point you just stop taking it seriously.\"\nThis report is based on Steele's public comments and interviews with more than three dozen RNC members  donors  party strategists and state officials  as well as Steele's friends  political opponents and current and former aides.

People who worked with her on campaigns say she’d say a pre-event prayer but otherwise was focused on things such as voter strategy. Her faith life mirrors younger evangelicals with their move away from denominations.\nA family friend describes  Sanders  and her husband  Bryan Sanders  as “progressive Christians.” In a compromise  they go to evangelical and Catholic churches every Sunday.\nTo many religious conservatives   Sanders  is a source of enormous pride. The presence of someone from her background representing the president every day — not to mention the multiple other conservative Christians in Trump’s Cabinet — has huge symbolic weight  whether or not she has influence or even much contact with  him  and seems to often learn of  his  controversial tweets at the same time the public does.\nDavid Brody  chief political correspondent for the Christian network CBN  said that when  Sanders  comes on the network’s pro-Trump talk show  “the social media director said he has never seen so many emoji hearts. . . . She has a charm about her. She’s feisty but in a bless-your-heart sort of way.”\nBrody said his viewers were wowed by a briefing over the summer  when  Sanders  was asked whether Trump brought low the office of the president by tweeting a crack about television host Mika Brzezinski  whom he called “low IQ  crazy” and whom he said he saw “bleeding badly from a face lift.”\nSome religious conservatives say one of  Sanders’s  best attributes is that she isn’t Sean Spicer. They just want someone at the podium who can defend Trump somewhat effectively without becoming the story.\n Sanders  has a leg up perhaps  as politics is her family business.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Meanwhile  accounts surfaced of two more protesters killed in recent days. Fresh clashes broke out between security forces and demonstrators charging vote fraud in Ahmadinejad's recent re-election victory outside a canceled funeral service for another of the dead. Reformist leaders  meanwhile  sought to obtain a permit to hold a massive commemoration for those killed in the violence that has followed the disputed June 12 presidential vote.\n Ahmadinejad's latest personnel moves suggests that neither the burgeoning reformist movement shaking the country nor a week-long effort by conservatives against his pick for vice president have spurred the president to change his confrontational approach. It also highlights rising tensions between the president and fellow conservatives in parliament and elsewhere in Iran's political establishment.\n The controversy marked the second time in recent days that Ahmadinejad has faced off against fellow conservatives but ultimately been forced to back down.\n Conservative news agencies close to the government reported that Ahmadinejad abruptly sacked his ministers of Intelligence and Culture and possibly two others early Sunday in what many considered retribution for the ministers' efforts to scuttle Esfandiar Rahim Mashai's appointment as first in line to succeed the president.\n Hours later  Ahmadinejad changed his mind after he ignited a storm of criticism and was told by conservative senior lawmakers that  according to the nation's constitution  he'd have to submit his entire Cabinet to a new vote of parliament if he changed more than one minister  since he had already replaced so many during his four-year tenure.\n The president's office issued a statement saying that only Minister of Intelligence and Security Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei had been fired. Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Mohammad Hossein Saffar Harandi  a dedicated hard-liner  announced in a blistering note late Sunday that he would resign immediately after receiving \"verbal instructions\" from Ahmadinejad that he was fired.\n Though Ahmadinejad had long announced plans to reshuffle the Cabinet following his inauguration to a new term in less than two weeks  the sudden nature of the dismissals just days before the government was to expire anyway was considered an insulting rejoinder to conservative supporters of Ahmadinejad who had opposed Mashai's appointment.\n After bowing to Khamenei's request to remove Mashai as first vice-president  Ahmadinejad appointed him chief of staff.\n On Sunday  Ahmadinejad also appointed former Interior Minister Ali Kordan  who had resigned his post after admitting he had tried to bolster his resume with a phony Oxford degree  as his special inspector  who monitors the activities of the ministries and government.\n Ahmadinejad's confirmation for a second-term by Khamenei is set for Aug. 4 and his swearing-in ceremony will take place the next day  a lawmaker announced.

Let them join their families. We should not allow enemies to rebuke and ridicule us because of detentions.

Flailing in the swell of bestselling diet books  infomercials for cleanses  and secret tips in glossy magazines  is the credibility of nutrition science. Watching thoroughly-credentialed medical experts tout the addition or subtraction of one nutrient as deliverance—only to change the channel and hear someone equally-thoroughly-credentialed touting the opposite—it can be tempting to write off nutrition advice altogether. This month we hear something is good  and next we almost expect to hear it’s bad. Why not assume the latest research will all eventually be nullified  and just close our eyes and eat whatever tastes best? That notion is at once relatable and tragic  in that diet is inextricable from the amount of healthy time we spend on Earth. Improvements in diet are clearly associated with significant lengthening of lifespan and dramatic decreases in risk of most chronic diseases. Combining disease and longevity into the concept of healthspan  the number of healthy years of life—fundamentally more important but less readily quantifiable than lifespan—the data in favor of optimizing our diets are even more compelling. No one is arguing that diet is less than extremely important to health and well-being  but seemingly everyone is arguing as to what constitutes the best diet. \"A diet of minimally processed foods close to nature  predominantly plants  is decisively associated with health promotion and disease prevention.\" The voices that carry the farthest over the sea of diet recommendations are those of iconoclasts—those who promise the most for the least  and do so with certainty. Amid the clamor   Dr. David Katz  is emerging as an iconoclast on the side of reason. At least  that’s how  he  describes  himself . From  his  throne at Yale University's Prevention Research Center  where  he  is a practicing physician and researcher  said sea of popular diet media is the institution against which  he  rebels. It’s not that nutrition science is corrupt  just that the empty promises of memetic  of-the-moment diet crazes are themselves junk food. To  Katz   they  are more than annoying and confusing;  they  are dangerous injustice. Scientific publisher Annual Reviews asked  Katz  to compare the medical evidence for and against every mainstream diet.  He  says they came to  him  because of  his  penchant for dispassionate appraisals. \"I don't have a dog in the fight \"  he  told me. “I don’t care which diet is best. I care about the truth.\"\n Katz  and Yale colleague Stephanie Meller published their findings in the current issue of the journal in a paper titled  \"Can We Say What Diet Is Best for Health?\" In it  they compare the major diets of the day: Low carb  low fat  low glycemic  Mediterranean  mixed/balanced (DASH)  Paleolithic  vegan  and elements of other diets. Despite the pervasiveness of these diets in culture and media  Katz and Meller write  \"There have been no rigorous  long-term studies comparing contenders for best diet laurels using methodology that precludes bias and confounding. For many reasons  such studies are unlikely.\" They conclude that no diet is clearly best  but there are common elements across eating patterns that are proven to be beneficial to health. \"A diet of minimally processed foods close to nature  predominantly plants  is decisively associated with health promotion and disease prevention.\" Katz  Meller/Annual Reviews Among the salient points of proven health benefits the researchers note  nutritionally-replete plant-based diets are supported by a wide array of favorable health outcomes  including fewer cancers and less heart disease. These diets ideally included not just fruits and vegetables  but whole grains  nuts  and seeds. Katz and Meller found \"no decisive evidence\" that low-fat diets are better than diets high in healthful fats  like the Mediterranean. Those fats include a lower ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids than the typical American diet.\nThe Mediterranean diet  which is additionally defined by high intake of fiber  moderate alcohol and meat intake  antioxidants  and polyphenols  does have favorable effects on heart disease  cancer risk  obesity  metabolic syndrome  and \"is potentially associated with defense against neurodegenerative disease and preservation of cognitive function  reduced inflammation  and defense against asthma.\" They also found carbohydrate-selective diets to be better than categorically low-carbohydrate diets  in that incorporating whole grains is associated with lower risks for cancers and better control of body weight. Attention to glycemic load and index is \"sensible at the least.\" Eating foods that have high glycemic loads (which  Katz  says is much more relevant to health outcomes than glycemic index—in that some quality foods like carrots have very high indices  which could be misleading) is associated with greater risk of heart disease. Finally  in a notable blow to some interpretations of the Paleo diet   Katz  and Meller wrote  \"if Paleolithic eating is loosely interpreted to mean a diet based mostly on meat  no meaningful interpretation of health effects is possible.\" They note that the composition of most meat in today's food supply is not similar to that of mammoth meat  and that most plants available during the Stone Age are today extinct. (Though it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Paleo extremists are crowd-funding a Jurassic Park style experiment to bring them back.)\nJust because  Katz  is not one to abandon  his  scientific compass under duress of passion does not mean  he  is without passion  or unmoved by it in  his  own ways. The subjects of media headlines and popular diet books are dark places for  Katz . \"It’s not just linguistic  I really at times feel like crying  when I think about that we’re paying for ignorance with human lives \"  he  told me. \"At times  I hate the people with alphabet soup after their names who are promising the moon and the stars with certainty. I hate knowing that the next person is already rubbing his or her hands together with the next fad to make it on the bestseller list.\" \"That’s an excellent idea  and yet somehow it turns out to be extremely radical.\" \"The evidence that with knowledge already at our disposal  we could eliminate 80 percent of chronic disease is the basis for everything I do \"  Katz  said. Just as  he  was finishing  his  residency in internal medicine in 1993  influential research in the Journal of the American Medical Association (\"Actual Causes of Death in the United States\") put diet on a short list of the lifestyle factors blamed for half of deaths in 1990. \"Here we are more than 20 years later and we’ve made just about no progress.\" A nod to the fact that popular media is not totally lost   Katz  borrows from the writer Michael Pollan  citing a seminal 2007 New York Times Magazine article on \"nutritionism\" in concluding that the mantra  \"Eat food  not too much  mostly plants\" is sound. \"That’s an excellent idea  and yet somehow it turns out to be extremely radical.\"", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jean Halloran ?

The Dallas Stars’ expected resurgence has stumbled. Fans are counting Ryan Reaves’ shifts in Pittsburgh.\nIs  Alex Ovechkin  headed for  his  eighth 50-goal season?\nHighly likely.  Ovechkin  has looked beastly while scoring eight goals in four games. We’ve seen  Ovechkin  go on scoring rampages before  but this is noteworthy because it comes at a time when the Washington Capitals (2-1-1) are supposed to take a half-step back. Is  this Ovechkin   32  telling us that he is not going to allow that to happen? He has averaged 6.25 shots on goal per game after a season in which he averaged a career-low 3.81 shots per game. Last season was the first time he didn’t reach 50 goals in an 82-game season since 2011-12.

He is still obligated to pay back the remaining balance of his $1 million debt to the city of Detroit.\n Shortly after the sentencing  Compuware Corp. said that Kilpatrick has being fired from his job as a medical software salesman for its Dallas-based subsidiary  Covisint.\n Groner ruled last month that Kilpatrick failed to report all of his assets and meet other conditions of his probation. In court Tuesday  Groner scolded Kilpatrick for his continued lack of candor about his finances.\n \"Your continued attempt to cast yourself as the victim  your lack of forthrightness  your lack of contriteness and lack of humility ... clearly rehabilitation has failed \" Groner told Kilpatrick after the former mayor spent about 15 minutes explaining why he should be allowed to return to his family in Dallas.\n \"I want to go home your honor  where I belong \" Kilpatrick told Groner. \"I'm not here because of a gun charge  or a drug charge. I'm here because of my confusion over some of the written orders that have been before me.\"\n At issue is the restitution Kilpatrick was ordered to pay the city after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to obstruction of justice.

Mr. Myatt  used  his  knack for forgery and knowledge of art history to produce fake after fake  more than 200 in all. Fake Giacomettis. Fake Paul Klees. Fake Chagalls. Some sold for well over $150 000. (Only 80 or so have been recovered by the police; the rest are still at large  although  Mr. Myatt  said  he  did not know where.) But while  he  provided the art  it was the smooth-talking Mr. Drewe who drove the operation  cooking up the ersatz provenances and handling the sales. In 1999  Mr. Drewe was sentenced to six years in prison.  Mr. Myatt  who pleaded guilty to fraud and testified for the prosecution   served 4 months of a 12-month sentence.\n He  makes an unlikely ex-convict.\n He  is so well regarded in this Staffordshire community  where  he  is the organist and choir director at the local church  that when  he  was in jail   his  neighbors banded together and refurbished  his  kitchen. Visitors to a recent London exhibit of  his  work -- new works in the style of famous artists with the words \"Genuine Fake\" written in indelible ink on the back -- included the foreman of the jury that convicted  him ;  his  defense lawyer; and Jonathan Searle  the Scotland Yard detective who arrested  him  and who  when  Mr. Myatt  got out of prison  commissioned a portrait from  him  (as did a prosecutor in the case).\n Mr. Myatt  now gives lectures on art forgery alongside officers from Scotland Yard. At  his  London exhibit   he  sold everything  he  displayed -- 68 fake Miros  Picassos  Giacomettis and the like -- at prices from $875 to more than $8 000. (The cheapest picture was a  Myatt  original  titled \"Ceci N'est Pas Une Magritte.\") Besides the Van Gogh  Mr. Myatt's house is chock-full of other fake great works -- Matisses  Ben Nicholsons  Braques. His studio is filled with half-finished Monets. Now 60  trim  with thinning gray hair and a very dry sense of humor  he talks forthrightly  but with a residue of shellshock  about his life of crime.\nAFTER studying art in college   Mr. Myatt  discovered  his  talent for forgery when  oddly enough   he  was working as a songwriter in the 1970's. ( His  song \"Silly Games\" hit No. 1 on the British charts  but that is another story.)  His  boss mentioned that  he  wanted to buy some Raoul Dufy paintings  then worth more than $100 000 each.\nBut  he  didn't need to. \"I painted a couple of Dufys for  him   \" Mr. Myatt  said.  His  boss paid £250 apiece  slapped them in £600-pound frames  and hung them up. \"We all thought it was very funny  \" Mr. Myatt  said.\nThe get-solvent-quick potential of the enterprise appealed to  him  later  when  he  was broke and wondering how to raise two children under the age of 3.  He  placed an advertisement in the satirical magazine Private Eye  offering legal forgeries for £250.\nEverything was above board at first. Someone commissioned  Mr. Myatt  to paint his father  a retired navy commander  in the style of Joshua Reynolds. \"We took a painting of some fabulous old guy gazing out with lots of medals  and just changed the face  \" Mr. Myatt  said. \" He  thought it was brilliant.\"\nThen  Mr. Drewe  called  identifying  himself  as a physics professor who wanted to dazzle  his  girlfriend with  his  new art collection.  Mr. Myatt  painted more than a dozen pictures for  him   at £250 each. The enterprise crossed into illegality when  Mr. Myatt  painted the fake Albert Gleizes that  Mr. Drewe   without a word to  Mr. Myatt   passed off to Christie's as a family heirloom. From then on   Mr. Myatt  supplied the pictures and  Mr. Drewe  did everything else.  He  tipped cups of black coffee on the works to make them look old.  He  put them in period frames.  He  concocted false provenances and false explanations for how  he  came to have them.\n Mr. Myatt  stayed willfully ignorant  unquestioningly accepting whatever  Mr. Drewe  paid  him .\nMeanwhile   Mr. Drewe  was getting weirder and weirder   Mr. Myatt  said  spinning stories about the royal family and Mossad. \"And I thought  this is the stupidest thing I've ever done.\" Having made about £90 000 in all ( Mr. Drewe  made about £1.5 million  prosecutors said)   he  told  Mr. Drewe   he  had had enough.\nScotland Yard came calling a year later as part of its larger investigation into  Mr. Drewe   whose by then ex-girlfriend had turned him in.\nMR.  MYATT  passed  his  jail time drawing portraits of inmates and guards. When  he  got out   he  married  his  second wife  Rosemary  who sings with  him  in the church choir and runs the increasingly successful Genuine Fakes business. Michael Douglas has bought the rights to his story.\nUntil then  there is a new wrinkle to contend with  he said: an unidentified forger who has been selling fake Myatts.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Gary Kaplan ? Gary Kaplan  50  must also forfeit $43.6 million in illegally obtained revenue as part of a plea agreement. Prosecutors have said that amounts to more than half of Kaplan's total worth.\n Kaplan pleaded guilty in August to racketeering conspiracy  violating the Wire Wager Act and conspiring to violate it. Prosecutors had been investigating offshore sports gambling since 1997  and BetOnSports since 2001.\n Kaplan  sentenced to four years and three months  could end up spending another year behind bars. He has been jailed for two years and seven months since his March 2007 arrest in Puerto Rico. U.S. District Judge Carol Jackson said it will be up to the Bureau of Prisons to determine if he is given credit for time served. Attorneys in the case noted that federal rules call for him serving 85 percent of the 51-month sentence  minus whatever credit he may be given for time served.\n In his guilty plea in August  Kaplan said BetOnSports had 1 million registered customers and accepted more than 10 million sports bets worth more than $1 billion in 2004 alone. HisHis company  by then based in Costa Rica  employed 1 700 people.\n Kaplan took BetOnSports public on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market in 2004  which netted him more than $100 million that was deposited in Swiss bank accounts. For the next two years  he served as a BetOnSports consultant.\n Prosecutors said the company falsely advertised that its gambling operations were legal  and misled gamblers into believing that money transferred to BetOnSports was safe and available to withdraw at any time. Instead  investigators said  the money was used to expand operations  including purchase of a rival betting firm.\n Kaplan told Jackson in August that he initially believed that adhering to the laws in Aruba  Antigua  Costa Rica  the Dominican Republic and the United Kingdom kept him in good stead with U.S. laws. But he said he became aware as early as 2000 that such dealings violated U.S. law  and got confirmation in a legal opinion in 2002. Yet  he kept operating.\n Kaplan apologized to the judge Monday for the \"pain and embarrassment\" he caused to his family  and said he'd \"paid a monumental price for poor decisions.\" His attorneys said that Kaplan  from his jail cell  has made six-figure contributions to St. Louis-area charities in recent months.\n Jackson said while recognizing Kaplan's generosity  she was \"a little put off\" by letters she's received from those charities on his behalf.\n \"When I make a charitable contribution  I don't expect credit \" she said. \"I hope you will continue to support worthy charitable organizations even when it doesn't further any personal interest you may have.\"", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

And I’ve been good to rock ‘n’ roll.” (Photo: Rankin/Warner Bros.)\nThere’s a village in England that  Liam Gallagher  calls home. Like everyone else there who isn’t a one-time lead singer for Oasis and/or recipient of Q Magazine’s benediction as the Greatest Rock Band Frontman of All Time  he occasionally putters around town on errands  now and then bumping into one particular neighbor with whom he has a lot in common.\nLike  Gallagher   Ray Davies is a massive figure in pop music history. They draw from a similar stream  each conjuring the sound of mid-1960s English rock ‘n’ roll  though only Davies was actually there at the time. Each has a brother with whom he has famously feuded  Noel Gallagher and Dave Davies  respectively  to the point of brawling onstage as fans watched in horror and delight.\nNothing more needs to be said  especially now that Gallagher  45  has stepped out with his debut solo album  As You Were  out now. The Lennonesque edginess in Wall Of Glass  the guitar chords and rhythms in Bold that recall Across The Universe  the tambourine beat and waltz time of You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away resurrected for When I’m In Need  even the title of the track You Better Run and the lyric that quotes “happiness is a warm gun” — all of these elements a debt to The Beatles that  Gallagher  freely acknowledges.\nLooking back at the antics of  his  younger days   Gallagher  says  “I was drinking too much.\" (Photo: Bebeto Matthews  Associated Press)\nAs You Were also confirms that  he ’s back at full strength after a long hiatus. “A lot of personal stuff was going on ”  he  says. “I was drinking too much. Then I thought  “You know what? I’m gonna go live in Spain  get me head together and get some sun on me bones.’”\nSomehow  that didn’t happen. But  he  did pick up  his  guitar and  to  his  surprise  out came a new song  ‘Bold.’ “Obviously I didn’t write it in a day — I wrote it in half a day ”  he  remembers.\nOthers followed quickly. “I didn’t go  ‘I just write a song because I’m not famous anymore and I must get back to the top of the charts ’”  he  explains. “There’s none of that nonsense. I don’t need to get any more famous. God  no. I didn’t miss it terribly. I just wanted the universe to plow me some songs  which it did. If you’re good to rock ‘n’ roll  it’ll be good to you. And I’ve been good to rock ‘n’ roll.”\n His  voice showed no rust  either. “I should have taken better care of it ”  he  admits. “But I’m a snarly rock ‘n’ roll singer. You don’t want to start watering it down because you’ll end up sounding like Noel Gallagher. And we don’t want that.”\nMaybe not. But neither does  Liam  feel apologetic for sinking  his  sound even deeper into the bedrock of the 1960s with As You Were. “Yeah  maybe I wish I’d been around back then ” he concedes. “These days there’s a lot of genres  which I guess is a good thing but it can also get in the way. I’d have liked the times when it was just The Stones  The Kinks  The Who  The Small Faces  The Beatles and all that stuff.

Still  Safin came to Wimbledon ranked 24th and seeded 14th  and had to be considered quite a favorite against Levine  who never had defeated anyone ranked better than 67th.\n \"He's an amazing player  and I'm still kind of feeling weird right now that I just beat Safin  because I've always watched him play on TV \" said Levine  who turned pro in 2007. \"I just kind of went out there with nothing to lose and played some good tennis.\"\n Levine was a teen when Safin burst onto the scene as a brash  big-hitting 20-year-old who knocked off Sampras to win the U.S. Open.\n \"I really had to ... focus on playing against the ball and not worrying about  'Oh  wow  I'm playing against Marat Safin on the other side of the court '\" Levine said. \"Because then things could have gotten a lot more interesting.\"\n As is his wont  Safin made things interesting enough. In the early going  he broke his racket by spiking it on the court.\n Leading 4-3 in the third-set tiebreaker  Safin hit a shot near a line that was ruled out. Afterward  Safin said: \"Thanks for the guy who made the call. I want to say hello to him. Too bad that he was a little bit too blind.\"\n In the fourth set  Safin told the chair umpire he could check for chalk on the ball to confirm a call. Rebuffed  Safin added: \"So all players are stupid?\"\n Safin reached at least the semifinals at all four majors  including at Wimbledon last year  but he has been criticized for not living up to the potential stored in his 6-foot-4 (1.93-meter) frame -- about 7 inches (18 centimeters) taller than Levine.\n \"In the history of tennis  everybody's an underachiever \" Safin said. \"Agassi should have been winning  I don't know  15 Grand Slams. Sampras should have been winning 20 Grand Slams. Federer should be winning -- already should have 25.\"\n \"I should probably have (won) a couple of more \" he said  \"but I'm pretty satisfied with what I did.\"", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Landis said that Armstrong -- the biggest name in the sport -- had encouraged the doping and that the team had sold its bikes to help finance an expensive doping program.\n Armstrong has denied any wrongdoing and has said that Landis  who was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for doping and received a two-year ban from the sport  had no credibility.\n A former teammate of Armstrong's said in a telephone interview Wednesday that he has spoken with investigators. He said he detailed some of his own drug use  as well as the widespread cheating that he said went on as part of the Postal Service team -- all of which was done with Armstrong's knowledge and encouragement.\n Armstrong is considered one of the more remarkable athletes in American history  someone who dominated his sport and also had a compelling personal story  having beaten testicular cancer.\n Jeff Novitzky  a special agent for the Food and Drug Administration  is in charge of the investigation and has been interviewing Armstrong's former teammates and associates.

The nation needs a way to deal with the failure of large  complex financial institutions without putting the entire system at risk or bailing them out with taxpayer money.

And it needs to coordinate information and action among US financial regulators to identify and prevent threats to financial stability  he said.\n \"It remains critical for Congress to close regulatory gaps and provide supervisors with additional tools for anticipating and managing systemic risks \" Bernanke said in prepared remarks. \"Large  complex financial firms that do not own a bank  but nonetheless pose risks to the overall financial system  must not be permitted to avoid comprehensive and effective supervisory oversight.\"\n Bernanke was the keynote speaker at a three-day conference sponsored by the Boston Fed.

The black market rate has depreciated more than 99 percent under  Maduro .\nBasic food and medical items are increasingly out of reach for most citizens  fueling malnutrition and preventable diseases.  Maduro  says the country is the victim of an “economic war” led by political adversaries with the support of Washington.\n Maduro  has not outlined the rules that would govern the proposed currency  including what rights its holders would have over Venezuela’s oil reserves.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Federal prosecutors have intensified their criminal investigation of the cyclist Lance Armstrong since the Tour de France ended last month. They questioned many of his former associates -- including cyclists who have supported and further detailed claims that Armstrong and his former U.S. Postal Service team participated in systematic doping  according to a cyclist who has been interviewed and two others privy to the inquiry.\n In May  Armstrong's former teammate Floyd Landis shocked the cycling world by publicly accusing Armstrong and other team members of using performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions to gain an unfair advantage. Landis said that Armstrong -- the biggest name in the sport -- had encouraged the doping and that the team had sold its bikes to help finance an expensive doping program.\n Armstrong has denied any wrongdoing and has said that Landis  who was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for doping and received a two-year ban from the sport  had no credibility.\n A former teammate of Armstrong's said in a telephone interview Wednesday that he has spoken with investigators. He said he detailed some of his own drug use  as well as the widespread cheating that he said went on as part of the Postal Service team -- all of which was done with Armstrong's knowledge and encouragement.\n Armstrong is considered one of the more remarkable athletes in American history  someone who dominated his sport and also had a compelling personal story  having beaten testicular cancer.\n Jeff Novitzky  a special agent for the Food and Drug Administration  is in charge of the investigation and has been interviewing Armstrong's former teammates and associates. Novitzky -- the head investigator in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative steroids case -- is trying to determine if Armstrong  his teammates  the owners or managers of his former team conspired to defraud their sponsors by doping to improve their performance and win more money and prizes.\n Armstrong did not respond to requests for comment put directly to his agent and his manager on Wednesday.\n Toward the end of the Tour de France  Armstrong  a seven-time winner of the event  said he would deny any involvement in doping \"as long as I live.\"\n Bryan D. Daly  a defense lawyer representing Armstrong  said any cyclists who claim that Armstrong had doped were not telling the truth.\n \"They just want them to incriminate Lance Armstrong and that's my concern \" Daly said  adding that the prosecutors were working closely with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to pressure Armstrong's former teammates. \"To the extent that there's anyone besides Floyd Landis saying things  the bottom line is  if you take away the soap opera and look at the scientific evidence  there is nothing.\"\n \"If Lance Armstrong came in second in those Tour de France races  there's no way that Lance Armstrong would be involved in these cases \" Daly said. \"I think that the concern is that they are caught up in the pursuit of a celebrity to catch him in a lie.\"\n Armstrong  who has just returned from a post-Tour vacation in the Bahamas  was in Denver Wednesday to announce a weeklong stage race to be held next August in Colorado. To promote the event  he rode through the city's downtown streets with Gov.

Prosecutors had been investigating offshore sports gambling since 1997  and BetOnSports since 2001.\n Kaplan  sentenced to four years and three months  could end up spending another year behind bars. He has been jailed for two years and seven months since his March 2007 arrest in Puerto Rico.

For the next two years  he served as a BetOnSports consultant.\n Prosecutors said the company falsely advertised that its gambling operations were legal  and misled gamblers into believing that money transferred to BetOnSports was safe and available to withdraw at any time.

Fernandez ? Fernandez  a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology  said that the demonstration  which he repeated with other bills provided by a reporter  showed both how pervasive cocaine was in the United States and how sensitive his machines were.\n They can instantly identify the chemical makeup of food  drugs and just about anything placed in front of their stainless-steel aperture. The uses of the machines  known as mass spectrometers  are manifold -- the federal Department of Homeland Security has commissioned Fernandez to study whether the technology can help sniff for explosives at airports.\n But Fernandez's main focus is counterfeit pharmaceutical drugs  especially in poorer countries  where government regulation is weak. He is part of an informal group of researchers and government officials spanning Africa  Asia and the United States who have teamed up with Interpol  the international police agency  to use cutting-edge technology in tracking fake drugs that claim to treat malaria. Counterfeit malaria drugs are of particular concern because of the scale and severity of the disease -- it kills more than 2 000 children a day in Africa alone -- and fears that fake or substandard malaria drugs are aggravating a growing problem of drug resistance.\n A scientific breakthrough in 2005 added an \"ion gun\" to the machines and allowed Fernandez to check hundreds of pills a day. A technician simply holds the sample -- a pill  dog food or a dollar bill  for example -- up to the machine  which emits a jet of helium gas and captures a minute amount of the material  instantly identifying its components.\n Contrary to the common belief that counterfeit drugs are just sugar pills  Fernandez said  most fakes have some level of active ingredient. Many contain the cheap and readily available pain reliever paracetamol  which might temporarily soothe some symptoms but will not fight the underlying disease.\n Mass spectrometers may have a role in weeding out some of these counterfeits. Fernandez  of Georgia Tech  is using them to test whether mosquito nets treated with insecticide  a crucial way to combat malaria  are genuine.\n With time  though  Fernandez hopes  costs will come down far enough that machines could be installed in local pharmacies.\n \"I always dream that at some point the end-consumer will be able to check \" Fernandez said. \"You put your tablet in front of a machine and you get a red light or a green light.

In addition  it has taken steps to crack down on risky practices  including issuing guidelines to banks to overhaul bonus systems that may spur employees to take excessive risks.\n Ultimately  however  Congress must act  Bernanke said. The nation needs a way to deal with the failure of large  complex financial institutions without putting the entire system at risk or bailing them out with taxpayer money. It needs to bring all financial institutions under rigorous federal oversight. And it needs to coordinate information and action among US financial regulators to identify and prevent threats to financial stability  he said.\n \"It remains critical for Congress to close regulatory gaps and provide supervisors with additional tools for anticipating and managing systemic risks \" Bernanke said in prepared remarks. \"Large  complex financial firms that do not own a bank  but nonetheless pose risks to the overall financial system  must not be permitted to avoid comprehensive and effective supervisory oversight.\"\n Bernanke was the keynote speaker at a three-day conference sponsored by the Boston Fed.

Initially it was aimed at disarming rival revolutionary groups  who had fought Batista but weren’t Communist-backed. Soon the definition of these “rival revolutionaries” grew pretty sweeping. Soon it included just about every Cuban with a gun. Significantly   Castro ’s famous anti-gun speech was proclaimed a full two years BEFORE  he  came out of the closet as a full-fledged Marxist-Leninist.\nOver the past week  Castro ’s media has been in a tizzy celebrating the Parkland high school students and especially Emma Gonzalez's NRA and Republican bashing.\nAs it turns out the few guns still in the hands of (mostly redneck) Cubans from 1960-1966 caused great panic for the Soviet satrap Castroites. These few guns resulted in the only genuine Cuban guerrilla war of the 20th century. And it can’t be repeated often enough—it was fought AGAINST the utterly bogus “guerrillas”  Fidel Castro  and Che Guevara.\nFarm collectivization was no more voluntary in Cuba than in the Ukraine. And Cuba's Kulaks (rednecks) had guns  a few at first anyway. Around 1960 thousands of Cuba’s enraged campesinos grabbed their guns and started fighting desperately as  Castro  and Che started stealing their land to build Soviet Kolkhozes  while murdering and jailing all who resisted.\nI won’t bother asking if you’ve ever heard of this ferocious insurgency on our very doorstep from The FAKE History Channel  FAKE News Media  or your professors  amigos.

That’s the kind of guy  he  is.”\n Martinez  became Maddon’s most trusted dugout adviser — and one of the most talked-about managerial prospects in the game — over seven seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays and three with the Chicago Cubs because of a unique ability to relate to players. After all  telling opponents they are wrong is one thing. Delivering tough messages to teammates — or  as a coach  to one’s own  potentially high-profile players — is another.\n“The thing I’ve always liked about [ Martinez ] is  he ’s never been afraid to have difficult conversations ” said Maddon  the Cubs manager. “It doesn’t mean yelling or screaming. It just means being straight up with guys. . . .  He ’s not worried about hurting somebody’s feelings or saying the wrong thing.  He ’s just attempting to do the right thing and make sure it works.”\n Dave Martinez   left  spent 10 seasons in the dugout with Joe Maddon  right. “ He ’s never been afraid to have difficult conversations ” Maddon says of  Martinez . “It doesn’t mean yelling or screaming.

He  has never managed at all.\nMaddon had his eye on  Martinez  for two decades before their partnership began. He first chased him down in 1983 when  Martinez  was playing in instructional league.  Martinez  was 19  and his play spoke louder than he did.\nHe was fresh off an uncomfortable stint in Puerto Rican winter ball. Though born to Puerto Rican parents in Brooklyn   Martinez  didn’t grow up speaking Spanish  other than occasionally with  his  grandmother. When  he  was 12   his  father sent  him  to live with an uncle in Florida so  he  could play baseball year round  but  he  never quite picked up the language. This was a surprise to Cubs staff when  he  arrived at winter league. The veterans never let  him  live it down.\n“I like the way you play ”  Martinez  said  he  remembers Maddon saying. He all but shrugged it off  not thinking much of the compliment.\nAlmost 25 years later  a half-decade after  Martinez ’s playing career had ended  Maddon asked him to be a guest instructor at Rays spring training in 2006.

By any measure , the Mitt Romney for president campaign has had a painfully bad week . \nThat day , Romney addressed the NAACP convention in Houston . \nThe speech was poorly received , so much so that Romney , in an interview that afternoon on Fox Business , told host Neil Cavuto that he had \"expected\" boos . \nSome interpreted that comment as proof that Romney had actually wanted to be booed by the NAACP in order to rev up elements of the conservative base . \nThe Romney campaign next reacted by whispering to the Drudge Report -LRB- which acts as a kind of message board for Romney -RRB- that it was seriously considering Condoleezza Rice as a running mate . \nGillespie : Romney retroactively retired . \nGillespie : Romney retroactively retired 02:44 . \nAnd it was that \"win the hour\" mentality that got the Romney campaign into much more serious trouble when the Obama campaign launched a big push on Romney 's business record the next day . \nGergen : Obama 's charges vs. Romney do n't hold up . \nThursday morning , the Obama campaign released a tough ad attacking the record of downsizing and outsourcing at Romney 's old firm , Bain Capital . \nThe Romney campaign reacted with outrage . \nIn support of the ad , Romney 's team argued that he had left Bain Capital in February 1999 ; the incidents alluded to by the Obama campaign all occurred after that date and had nothing to do with Romney . \nThe first attack on Romney had been a jab , dropping Romney 's guard against the haymaker : On Friday , the Obama team counter-charged that it was Romney who was lying in his ads or who had committed a felony , lying on 140 official forms that he signed as CEO and sole shareholder of Bain between 1999 and 2002 . \nRomney now chased the Obama story , granting five TV interviews to reiterate his version of events . \nBy Sunday , even Romney supporters were urging the thing he wants least : release of more income tax returns . \nAnd here again , what got Romney into the trouble was his war room . \nIt was the too-fierce response to Attack 1 -- the adamant insistence that Romney had nothing , nothing to do with anything that happened at Bain after February 1999 -- that set up Romney for Attack 2 : Did he lie on SEC forms ? \nYes , it is technically true that Romney ended his operational role at Bain before he ended his titular role . \nRomney 's core problem is this : He heads a party that must win two-thirds of the white working-class vote in presidential elections to compensate for its weakness in almost every demographic category . \nThe white working class is the most pessimistic and alienated group in the electorate , and it especially fears and dislikes the kind of financial methods that gained Romney his fortune . \nRomney has a strong potential defense : Bain was in the business of making companies more efficient and profitable . \nHowever , it 's not an argument that appeals much to the voters Romney most intensely needs to win . \nAnd this time , by trying to do too much , the Romney war room may have blasted its own side with lethal friendly fire .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitt Romney ? In an interview with Fox News Sunday 's Chris Wallace , Mitt Romney acknowledged just how much his \"47 percent\" comments -- in which he all but wrote off the votes of half the country -- had negatively impacted his chances of being president : \"That hurt . \nRomney 's admission of the damage done got us to thinking -LRB- again -RRB- about why exactly the remark hurt him so badly . \nCandidates need to adjust accordingly or face the prospect of adding their names to a list that Romney headlines at the moment . \nThe conventional wisdom is that \"47 percent\" hurt so much because it played directly into the stereotype of Romney as an out-of-touch rich guy that President Obama and his campaign were playing up . \nThe power of these \"candid candidate\" moments is that they present a jarringly different image of a politician than the one he or she is presenting to the public and raise questions among voters about who the real Mitt Romney or Tom Daschle or Bob Etheridge actually is . \nThe truly terrible thing for Romney was that the remarks not only came directly out of Romney 's mouth but were also documented on video . \nImagine for a second if Romney 's \"47 percent\" comments had never been captured on video and rather only been quoted by someone in attendance . \nYes , it still would have been a story that Romney would have had to address but it 's hard to imagine that it would have been the definitive moment of the campaign -- as it turned out to be .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitt Romney ? For his campaign , Romney assembled a veteran group of Republican staffers , consultants , and pollsters . \n-LSB- 230 -RSB- -LSB- 245 -RSB- These resources , combined with the mid-year near-collapse of nominal front-runner John McCain 's campaign , made Romney a threat to win the nomination and the focus of the other candidates ' attacks . \n-LSB- 246 -RSB- Romney 's staff suffered from internal strife ; the candidate himself was at times indecisive , often asking for more data before making a decision . \nDuring all of his political campaigns , Romney has avoided speaking publicly about Mormon doctrines , referring to the U.S. Constitution 's prohibition of religious tests for public office . \n-LSB- 248 -RSB- But persistent questions about the role of religion in Romney 's life , as well as Southern Baptist minister and former Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee 's rise in the polls based upon an explicitly Christian-themed campaign , led to the December 6 , 2007 , \"Faith in America\" speech . \n-LSB- 249 -RSB- In the speech Romney declared , \"I believe in my Mormon faith and endeavor to live by it . \n-LSB- 12 -RSB- Romney added that he should neither be elected nor rejected based upon his religion , -LSB- 250 -RSB- and echoed Senator John F. Kennedy 's famous speech during his 1960 presidential campaign in saying , \"I will put no doctrine of any church above the plain duties of the office and the sovereign authority of the law .\" \nRomney became a management consultant and in 1977 secured a position at Bain & Company . \n-LSB- 356 -RSB- -LSB- 357 -RSB- That initial debate overshadowed Obama 's improved presentation in the last two debates later in October , and Romney maintained a small advantage in the debates when seen as a whole . \nThe campaign 's strategy called for winning the initial two contests -- the January 3 , 2008 , Iowa Republican caucuses and the adjacent-to-his-home-state January 8 New Hampshire primary -- and propelling Romney nationally . \nAfter stepping down from Bain Capital and his local leadership role in the LDS Church , Romney ran as the Republican candidate in the 1994 Massachusetts election for U.S. Senate . \n-LSB- 238 -RSB- -LSB- 256 -RSB- Romney seemed to approach the campaign as a management consulting exercise , and showed a lack of personal warmth and political feel ; journalist Evan Thomas wrote that Romney \"came off as a phony , even when he was perfectly sincere .\" \n-LSB- 238 -RSB- -LSB- 257 -RSB- The fervor with which Romney adopted his new stances and attitudes contributed to the perception of inauthenticity that hampered the campaign . \n-LSB- 62 -RSB- -LSB- 258 -RSB- Romney 's staff would conclude that competing as a candidate of social conservatism and ideological purity rather than of pragmatic competence had been a mistake . \nElected Governor of Massachusetts in 2002 , Romney helped develop and then signed into law the Massachusetts health care reform legislation , the first of its kind in the nation . \nA win by McCain over Huckabee in South Carolina , and by Romney over McCain in childhood-home Michigan , set up a pivotal battle in the Florida primary . \n-LSB- 259 -RSB- -LSB- 260 -RSB- Romney campaigned intensively on economic issues and the burgeoning subprime mortgage crisis , while McCain attacked Romney regarding Iraq policy and benefited from endorsements from Florida officeholders . \n-LSB- 259 -RSB- -LSB- 260 -RSB- Although many Republican officials were now lining up behind McCain , -LSB- 260 -RSB- Romney persisted through the nationwide Super Tuesday contests on February 5 . \nRomney 's considerable net worth , estimated in 2012 at $ 190 -- 250 million , helped finance his political campaigns prior to 2012 . \n-LSB- 261 -RSB- Trailing McCain in delegates by a more than two-to-one margin , Romney announced the end of his campaign on February 7 . \nRomney was the Republican Party 's nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election . \nAltogether , Romney had won 11 primaries and caucuses , -LSB- 262 -RSB- receiving about 4.7 million votes -LSB- 263 -RSB- and garnering about 280 delegates . \nRomney kept a low profile for a while after the election , but later became more visible politically . \nRomney endorsed McCain for president a week later , -LSB- 264 -RSB- and McCain had Romney on a short list for vice presidential running mate , where his business experience would have balanced one of McCain 's weaknesses . \nSee also : Romney family . \nRomney supported the Bush administration 's Troubled Asset Relief Program in response to the late-2000s financial crisis , later saying that it prevented the U.S. financial system from collapsing . \nFollowing the 2008 election , Romney laid the groundwork for a likely 2012 presidential campaign by using his Free and Strong America political action committee -LRB- PAC -RRB- to raise money for other Republican candidates and pay his existing political staff 's salaries and consulting fees . \n-LSB- 281 -RSB- -LSB- 283 -RSB- In February 2010 , Romney had a minor altercation with LMFAO member Skyler Gordy , known as Sky Blu , on an airplane flight . \nRomney has three older siblings , Margo , Jane , and Scott .

of only a few Mormon students at Cranbrook School , a private upscale boys ' preparatory school a few miles from his home . \nCasual photograph of Mitt Romney indoors seated and signing books . \n-LSB- 18 -RSB- -LSB- 22 -RSB- Romney took up residence at Cranbrook when his newly elected father began spending most of his time at the state capitol . \n-LSB- 287 -RSB- In the book , Romney writes of his belief in American exceptionalism , -LSB- 288 -RSB- and presents his economic and geopolitical views rather than anecdotes about his personal or political life . \nAt Cranbrook , Romney helped manage the ice hockey team , and he joined the pep squad . \nImmediately following the March 2010 passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act , Romney attacked the landmark legislation as \"an unconscionable abuse of power\" and said the act should be repealed . \n-LSB- 18 -RSB- -LSB- 20 -RSB- Romney was involved in several pranks while attending Cranbrook . \n-LSB- 291 -RSB- While acknowledging that his plan was an imperfect work in progress , Romney did not back away from it . \nIn nationwide opinion polling for the 2012 Republican Presidential primaries , Romney led or placed in the top three with Palin and Huckabee . \nA January 2010 National Journal survey of political insiders found that a majority of Republican insiders and a plurality of Democratic insiders predicted Romney would be the party 's 2012 nominee . \n-LSB- 294 -RSB- Romney campaigned heavily for Republican candidates in the 2010 midterm elections , -LSB- 295 -RSB- raising more money than the other prospective 2012 Republican presidential candidates . \nRomney attended Stanford University during the 1965-66 academic year . \n-LSB- 18 -RSB- As opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War grew , a group staged a May 1966 sit-in at Stanford 's administration building to demonstrate against draft status tests ; Romney joined a counter-protest against that group . \nOn June 2

up blue and white \"Romney\" signs . \nOn April 11 , 2011 , Romney announced , via a video taped outdoors at the University of New Hampshire , that he had formed an exploratory committee for a run for the Republican presidential nomination . \n-LSB- 11 -RSB- Most individual Mormon missionaries do not gain many converts -LSB- nb 4 -RSB- and Romney was no exception : -LSB- 33 -RSB- he later estimated ten to twenty for his entire mission . \nRomney stood to benefit from the Republican electorate 's tendency to nominate candidates who had previously run for president , and thus appeared to be next in line to be chosen . \n-LSB- 40 -RSB- When the French expressed opposition to the U.S. role in the Vietnam War , Romney debated them . \n-LSB- 297 -RSB- -LSB- 299 -RSB- -LSB- 301 -RSB- As many potential Republican candidates with star power and fundraising ability decided not to run -LRB- including Mike Pence , John Thune , Haley Barbour , Mike Huckabee , and Mitch Daniels -RRB- , Republican party figures searched for plausible alternatives to Romney . \n-LSB- nb 6 -RSB- Romney then became co-president of a mission that had become demoralized and disorganized after the May 1968 general strike and student uprisings and the car accident . \n-LSB- 41 -RSB- With Romney rallying the others , the mission met its goal of 200 baptisms for the year , the most in a decade . \n-LSB- 33 -RSB- -LSB- 42 -RSB- As a result of his experience there , Romney developed a lifelong affection for France and its people and has also remained fluent in French . \nRomney raised $ 56 million during 2011 , more than double the amount raised by any of his Republican opponents , -LSB- 306 -RSB- and refrained from spending his own money on the campaign . \nAt their first meeting following his return , Romney and Ann Davies reconnected and decided to get married . \n-LSB- 45 -RSB- Romney began attending Brigham Young University -LRB- BYU -RRB- , where she had been studying . \n-LSB- 309 -RSB- Perry and Romney exchanged sharp criticisms of each other during a series of debates among the Republican candidates . \nRomney continued to seek support from a wary Republican electorate ; at this point in the race , his poll numbers were relatively flat and at a historically low level for a Republican frontrunner . \n-LSB- 311 -RSB- -LSB- 315 -RSB- -LSB- 316 -RSB- After the charges of flip-flopping that marked his 2008 campaign began to accumulate again , Romney declared in November 2011 : \"I 've been as consistent as human beings can be .\" \n-LSB- 317 -RSB- -LSB- 318 -RSB- -LSB- 319 -RSB- In the final month before voting began , Newt Gingrich experienced a significant surge -- taking a solid lead in national polls and most of the early caucus and primary states -LSB- 320 -RSB- -- before settling back into parity or worse with Romney following a barrage of negative ads from Restore Our Future , a pro-Romney Super PAC . \n-LSB- 49 -RSB- During the U.S. military draft for the Vietnam War , Romney sought and received two 2-S student deferments , then a 4-D ministerial deferment while living in France as a Mormon missionary . \nIn the initial contest , the 2012 Iowa caucuses of January 3 , election officials announced Romney as ahead with 25 percent of the vote , edging out a late-gaining Rick Santorum by eight votes -LRB- an also-strong Ron Paul finished third -RRB- . \n-LSB- 323 -RSB- A week after the Iowa caucuses , Romney earned a decisive win in the New Hampshire primary with a total of 39 percent of the vote ; Paul finished second and Jon Huntsman , Jr. third . \nAt culturally conservative BYU , Romney remained isolated from much of the upheaval of that era . \n-LSB- 254 -RSB- Huckabee and McCain criticized Romney 's image as a flip flopper -LSB- 254 -RSB- and this label would stick to Romney through the campaign -LSB- 230 -RSB- -LRB- one that Romney rejected as unfair and inaccurate , except for his acknowledged change of mind on abortion -RRB- . \nIn the run-up to the South Carolina Republican primary , Gingrich launched ads criticizing Romney for causing job losses while at Bain Capital , Perry referred to Romney 's role there as \"vulture capitalism\" , and Sarah Palin pressed Romney to prove his claim that he created 100,000 jobs during that time . \n-LSB- 325 -RSB- -LSB- 326 -RSB- Many conservatives rallied in defense of Romney , rejecting what they inferred as criticism of free-market capitalism . \n-LSB- 325 -RSB- During two debates in the state , Romney fumbled questions about releasing his income tax returns , while Gingrich gained support with audience-rousing attacks on the debate moderators . \n-LSB- 327 -RSB- -LSB- 328 -RSB- Romney 's double-digit lead in state polls evaporated ; he lost to Gingrich by 13 points in the January 21 primary . \n-LSB- 327 -RSB- Combined with the delayed loss in Iowa , Romney 's admitted poor week represented a lost chance to end the race early , and he quickly decided to release two years of his tax returns . \n-LSB- 327 -RSB- -LSB- 329 -RSB- The race turned to the Florida Republican primary , where in debates , appearances , and advertisements , Romney launched a sustained barrage against Gingrich 's past record and associations and current electability . \nBenjamin -LRB- 1978 -RRB- and Craig -LRB- 1981 -RRB- would arrive later , after Romney had begun his career . \nMitt Romney wanted to pursue a business career , but his father advised him that a law degree would be valuable to his career even if he never practiced law . \nSeveral caucuses and primaries took place during February , and Santorum won three in a single night early in the month , propelling him into the lead in national and some state polls and positioning him as Romney 's chief rival . \n-LSB- 333 -RSB- Days later , Romney told the Conservative Political Action Conference that he had been a \"severely conservative governor\" -LSB- 334 -RSB- -LRB- while during his term in 2005 he had maintained that his positions were moderate and characterized reports that he was shifting to the right to attract conservative votes a media distortion -RRB- . \n-LSB- 335 -RSB- Romney won the other five February contests , including a closely fought one in his home state of Michigan at the end of the month . \n-LSB- 291 -RSB- The antipathy Republicans felt for it created a potential problem for the former governor , since the new federal law was in many ways similar to the Massachusetts health care reform passed during Romney 's gubernatorial tenure ; as one Associated Press article stated , \"Obamacare ... looks a lot like Romneycare .\" \n-LSB- 338 -RSB- Romney maintained his delegate margin through subsequent contests , -LSB- 339 -RSB- and Santorum suspended his campaign on April 10 . \n-LSB- 340 -RSB- Following a sweep of five more contests on April 24 , the Republican National Committee put its resources to work for Romney as the party 's presumptive nominee . \n-LSB- 341 -RSB- Romney clinched a majority of the delegates with a win in the Texas primary on May 29 . \nMain article : Business career of Mitt Romney . \nRecruited by several firms in 1975 , Romney joined the Boston Consulting Group -LRB- BCG -RRB- , reasoning that working as a management consultant for a variety of companies would better prepare him for a future position as a chief executive . \n-LSB- 343 -RSB- A related issue dealt with Romney 's purported responsibility for actions at Bain Capital after taking the Olympics post . \n-LSB- 98 -RSB- -LSB- 100 -RSB- Romney faced demands from Democrats to release additional years of his tax returns , an action a number of Republicans also felt would be wise ; after being adamant that he would not do that , he released summaries of them in late September . \n-LSB- 110 -RSB- -LSB- 344 -RSB- During May and June , the Obama campaign spent heavily and was able to paint a negative image of Romney in voters ' minds before the Romney campaign could construct a positive one . \nIn July 2012 , Romney visited the United Kingdom , Israel , and Poland , meeting leaders in an effort to raise his credibility as a world statesman . \n-LSB- 56 -RSB- -LSB- 62 -RSB- -LSB- 65 -RSB- Bain himself would later say of the thirty-year-old Romney , \"He had the appearance -LSB- sic -RSB- of confidence of a guy who was maybe ten years older .\" \n-LSB- 347 -RSB- -LSB- 348 -RSB- Israeli Prime Minister -LRB- and former BCG colleague -RRB- Benjamin Netanyahu , embraced Romney , though some Palestinians criticized him for suggesting that Israel 's culture led to their greater economic success . \n-LSB- 56 -RSB- -LSB- 62 -RSB- Romney became a vice-president of the firm in 1978 , -LSB- 15 -RSB- working with such clients as the Monsanto Company , Outboard Marine Corporation , Burlington Industries , and Corning Incorporated . \n-LSB- 448 -RSB- In February 2017 , Romney stated that Trump is \"off to a very strong start\" in fulfilling his campaign promises , although he has \"no regrets\" about his anti-Trump speech . \nOn August 11 , 2012 , the Romney campaign announced the selection of Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his vice-presidential running mate . \nOn August 28 , 2012 , the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa , Florida , officially nominated Romney as their candidate for the presidency . \n-LSB- 351 -RSB- Romney became the first Mormon to be a major-party presidential nominee . \nTwo family incidents during this time later surfaced during Romney 's political campaigns . \n-LSB- 68 -RSB- -LSB- 69 -RSB- A state park ranger in 1981 told Romney his motorboat had an insufficiently visible license number and that he would face a $ 50 fine if he took the boat onto the lake . \nDisagreeing about the license and wanting to continue a family outing , Romney took it out anyway , saying he would pay the fine . \nRomney went on to say : \"And so my job is not to worry about those people . \n-LSB- 47 -RSB- The dog incident in particular later became fodder for Romney 's critics and political opponents . \nCounty-by-county results of the election , shaded by percentage won : Obama in blue , Romney in red . \nMedia figures and political analysts widely viewed Romney as having delivered a stronger and more focused presentation than did President Obama . \nIn 1984 , Romney left Bain & Company to cofound the spin-off private equity investment firm , Bain Capital . \n-LSB- 72 -RSB- He had initially refrained from accepting Bill Bain 's offer to head the new venture , until Bain rearranged the terms in a complicated partnership structure so that there was no financial or professional risk to Romney . \n-LSB- 56 -RSB- -LSB- 66 -RSB- -LSB- 73 -RSB- Bain and Romney raised the $ 37 million in funds needed to start the new operation , which had seven employees . \n-LSB- 59 -RSB- -LSB- 74 -RSB- Romney held the titles of president -LSB- 75 -RSB- and managing general partner . \n-LSB- 359 -RSB- Romney garnered 206 electoral college votes to Obama 's 332 , losing all but one of nine battleground states , and 47 percent of the nationwide popular vote to Obama 's 51 percent . \n-LSB- 360 -RSB- -LSB- 361 -RSB- Media accounts described Romney as \"shellshocked\" by the result . \n-LSB- 362 -RSB- But Romney 's get out the vote operation had been inferior to Obama 's , both in person-to-person organization and in voter modeling and outreach technology -LSB- 363 -RSB- -LRB- the latter exemplified by the failure of the Project Orca application -RRB- . \nRomney set

the campaign , with Obama 's proclaiming that Romney shipped jobs overseas while at Bain Capital and kept money in offshore tax havens and Swiss bank accounts . \nRomney himself thought he might be branded a \"loser for life\" and fade into an obscurity like Michael Dukakis -LSB- 406 -RSB- -LRB- a similar figure with no obvious base of political support who had lost what his party considered a winnable presidential election -RRB- -LSB- 414 -RSB- but , to the surprise of many political observers , that did not happen . \n-LSB- 415 -RSB- Romney re-emerged onto the political scene in the

the preliminary jockeying for the backing of party leaders , donors , and political operatives -- against former Florida governor Jeb Bush , who had already set a likely campaign in motion and would be a rival to Romney for establishment Republican support . \n-LSB- 423 -RSB- -LSB- 424 -RSB- Despite support in some quarters for a third bid for the presidency , there was a backlash against him

whichever of the remaining rivals had the best chance to beat Trump in any given state , -LSB- 435 -RSB- and as such Romney announced he was voting for , although not endorsing , Ted Cruz for

choices\" . \n-LSB- 432 -RSB- Romney 's speech represented an unprecedented attack by a major U.S. party 's most recent presidential nominee against the party 's current front-runner for the

W. Bush , Romney responded , \"Look , I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush . \n-LSB- 131 -RSB- Romney stated , \"Ultimately , this is a campaign about change .\" \nRomney has received a number of honorary doctorates , including in business from the University of Utah in 1999 , -LSB- 451 -RSB- in law from Bentley College in 2002 , -LSB- 452 -RSB- in public administration from Suffolk University Law School in 2004 , -LSB- 453 -RSB- in public service from Hillsdale College in 2007 , -LSB- 454 -RSB- and in humanities from Liberty University in 2012 . \nRomney 's campaign was effective in portraying Kennedy as soft on crime , but had trouble establishing its own consistent positions . \n-LSB- 336 -RSB- -LSB- 337 -RSB- In the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses of March 6 , Romney won six of ten contests , including a narrow victory in Ohio over a vastly outspent Santorum . \n-LSB- 123 -RSB- -LSB- 134 -RSB- -LSB- 135 -RSB- Kennedy responded with a series of ads that focused on Romney 's seemingly shifting political views on issues such as abortion ; -LSB- 136 -RSB- Romney responded by stating , \"I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country .\" \n-LSB- 137 -RSB- Other Kennedy ads centered on layoffs of workers at the Ampad plant owned by Romney 's Bain Capital . \n-LSB- 123 -RSB- -LSB- 138 -RSB- The latter was effective in blunting Romney 's momentum . \n-LSB- 81 -RSB- Kennedy and Romney held a widely watched late-October debate that had no clear winner , but by then , Kennedy had pulled ahead in polls and stayed ahead afterward . \n-LSB- 139 -RSB- Romney spent $ 3 million of his own money in the race and more than $ 7 million overall . \n-LSB- 140 -RSB- -LSB- nb 11 -RSB- In the November general election , despite a disastrous showing for Democrats nationwide , Kennedy won the election with 58 percent of the vote to Romney 's 41 percent , -LSB- 56 -RSB- the smallest margin in any of Kennedy 's re-election campaigns for the Senate . \nThe day after the election , Romney returned to Bain Capital , but the loss had a lasting effect ; he told his brother , \"I never want to run for something again unless I can win .\" \nRomney felt restless as the decade neared a close ; the goal of simply making more money held little attraction for him . \n-LSB- 462 -RSB- In 2012 , Time magazine included Romney in their List of The 100 Most Influential People in the World . \n-LSB- 144 -RSB- -LSB- 146 -RSB- -LSB- 147 -RSB- On February 11 , 1999 , the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games of 2002 hired Romney as its president and CEO . \nPhotograph of Romney standing with microphone in middle of curling lanes . \nBefore Romney took over , the event was $ 379 million short of its revenue goals . \nThey chose Romney based on his business and legal expertise as well as his connections to both the LDS Church and the state . \n-LSB- 39 -RSB- Romney donated to charity the $ 1.4 million in salary and severance payments he received for his three years as president and CEO , and also contributed $ 1 million to the Olympics . \nRomney restructured the organization 's leadership and policies . \nRomney said that he would appoint federal judges in the mold of U.S. Supreme Court justices John Roberts , Clarence Thomas , Antonin Scalia , and Samuel Alito . \n-LSB- 144 -RSB- -LSB- 147 -RSB- Romney worked to ensure the safety of the Games following the September 11 , 2001 terrorist attacks by coordinating a $ 300 million security budget . \n-LSB- 148 -RSB- The federal government provided approximately $ 400 million -LSB- 147 -RSB- -LSB- 153 -RSB- -LSB- 154 -RSB- to $ 600 million -LSB- 155 -RSB- -LSB- 156 -RSB- of that budget , much of it a result of Romney 's having aggressively lobbied Congress and federal agencies . \nRomney emerged as the local public face of the Olympic effort , appearing in photographs , in news stories , on collectible Olympics pins depicting Romney wrapped by an American flag , and on buttons carrying phrases like \"Hey , Mitt , we love you !\" \n-LSB- 144 -RSB- -LSB- 147 -RSB- -LSB- 159 -RSB- Robert H. Garff , the chair of the organizing committee , later said \"It was obvious that he had an agenda larger than just the Olympics ,\" -LSB- 144 -RSB- and that Romney wanted to use the Olympics to propel himself into the national spotlight and a political career . \n-LSB- 147 -RSB- -LSB- 160 -RSB- Garff believed the initial budget situation was not as bad as Romney portrayed , given there were still three years to reorganize . \n-LSB- 147 -RSB- Olympics critic Steve Pace , who led Utahns for Responsible Public Spending , thought Romney exaggerated the initial fiscal state to lay the groundwork for a well-publicized rescue . \n-LSB- 160 -RSB- Kenneth Bullock , another board member of the organizing committee and also head of the Utah League of Cities and Towns , often clashed with Romney at the time , and later said that Romney deserved some credit for the turnaround but not as much as he claimed . \nBy early 2014 , the lack of a clear mainstream Republican candidate for the 2016 presidential election led some supporters , donors , and pollsters to suggest Romney stage a third run . \n-LSB- 161 -RSB- President George W. Bush praised Romney 's efforts and 87 percent of Utahns approved of his performance as Olympics head . \n-LSB- 62 -RSB- U.S. Olympic Committee head William Hybl credited Romney with an extraordinary effort in overcoming a difficult time for the Olympics , culminating in \"the greatest Winter Games I have ever seen\" . \n-LSB- 147 -RSB- Romney wrote a book about his experience titled Turnaround : Crisis , Leadership , and the Olympic Games , published in 2004 . \nThe role gave Romney experience in dealing with federal , state , and local entities , a public persona he had previously lacked , and the chance to relaunch his political aspirations . \n-LSB- 296 -RSB- Beginning in early 2011 , Romney presented a more relaxed visual image , including more casual attire . \n-LSB- 162 -RSB- -LSB- 165 -RSB- Prominent party figures -- as well as the White House -- wanted Romney to run for governor -LSB- 166 -RSB- -LSB- 167 -RSB- and the opportunity appealed to him for reasons including its national visibility . \n-LSB- 168 -RSB- A poll by the Boston Herald showed Republicans favoring Romney over Swift by more than 50 percentage points . \n-LSB- 169 -RSB- On March 19 , 2002 , Swift announced she would not seek her party 's nomination , and hours later Romney declared his candidacy , -LSB- 169 -RSB- for which he would face no opposition in the primary . \n-LSB- 170 -RSB- In June 2002 , the Massachusetts Democratic Party challenged Romney 's eligibility to run for governor , noting that state law required seven years ' consecutive residence and that Romney had filed his state tax returns as a Utah resident in 1999 and 2000 . \nRomney again ran as a political outsider . \n-LSB- 413 -RSB- Nevertheless , speculation continued : the continuing unpopularity of Obama led to buyer 's remorse among some voters ; the 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine made Romney 's \"No. 1 geopolitical foe\" remark look prescient ; and an August 2014 poll of Iowan Republicans showed Romney with a large lead there over other potential 2016 candidates . \nRomney released his book , No Apology : The Case for American Greatness , in March 2010 , and undertook an 18-state book tour to promote the work . \nIn an attempt to overcome the image that had damaged him in the 1994 Senate race -- that of a wealthy corporate buyout specialist out of touch with the needs of regular people -- the campaign staged a series of \"work days\" , in which Romney performed blue-collar jobs such as herding cows and baling hay , unloading a fishing boat , and hauling garbage . \n-LSB- 346 -RSB- Comments Romney made about the readiness of the 2012 Summer Olympics were perceived as undiplomatic by the British press . \n-LSB- 180 -RSB- O'Brien said that Romney 's budget plans were unrealistic ; the two also differed on capital punishment and bilingual education , with Romney supporting the former and opposing the latter . \n-LSB- 356 -RSB- Exit polls published following the election showed that voters never saw Romney as someone who cared about people like them . \nDuring the election , Romney contributed more than $ 6 million -- a state record at the time -- to the nearly $ 10 million raised for his campaign overall . \nMain article : Governorship of Mitt Romney . \nThe swearing in of Romney as the 70th governor of Massachusetts took place on January 2 , 2003 . \n-LSB- 290 -RSB- Romney donated his earnings from the book to charity . \n-LSB- 189 -RSB- -LSB- 190 -RSB- Through a combination of spending cuts , increased fees , and removal of corporate tax loopholes , -LSB- 189 -RSB- the state achieved surpluses of around $ 600 -- 700 million during Romney 's last two full fiscal years in office , although it began running deficits again after that . \nMitt Romney resting on a wooden desk , flanked by an American flag , a picture of his wife , a lamp , and a painting of mountains . \nRomney supported raising various fees , including those for drivers ' licenses and gun licenses , to raise more than $ 300 million . \n-LSB- 189 -RSB- Romney also closed tax loopholes that brought in another $ 181 million from businesses over the next two years and over $ 300 million for his term . \n-LSB- 388 -RSB- Romney opposed same-sex marriage and civil unions , although he favored domestic partnership legislation that gives certain legal rights to same-sex couples , such as hospital visitation . \n-LSB- 174 -RSB- -LSB- 189 -RSB- Romney sought additional cuts in his last year as governor by vetoing nearly 250 items in the state budget ;

Wade . \n-LSB- 176 -RSB- Romney attributed his conversion to an interaction with Harvard University biologist Douglas Melton , an expert on embryonic stem cell biology , although Melton vehemently disputed Romney 's recollection of their conversation . \n-LSB- 214 -RSB- Romney subsequently vetoed a bill on pro-life grounds that expanded access to emergency contraception in hospitals and pharmacies -LRB- the legislature overrode the veto -RRB- . \nRomney used a bully pulpit approach towards promoting his agenda , staging well-organized media events to appeal directly to the public rather than pushing his proposals in behind-doors sessions with the state legislature . \n-LSB- 176 -RSB- After two years of negotiating the state 's participation in the landmark Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative that instituted a cap-and-trade arrangement for power plant emissions in the Northeast , Romney pulled Massachusetts out of the initiative shortly before its signing in December 2005 , citing a lack of cost limits for industry . \nDuring 2004 , Romney spent considerable effort trying to bolster the state Republican Party , but it failed to gain any seats in the state legislative elections that year . \n-LSB- 218 -RSB- Midway through his term , Romney decided that he wanted to stage a full-time run for president , -LSB- 219 -RSB- and on December 14 , 2005 , announced that he would not seek re-election for a second term . \n-LSB- 220 -RSB- As chair of the Republican Governors Association , Romney traveled around the country , meeting prominent Republicans and building a national political network ; -LSB- 219 -RSB- he spent all , or parts of , more than 200 days out of state during 2006 , preparing for his run . \n-LSB- 443 -RSB- A spokeswoman for Romney said that the list had been \"rented by several political candidates in the presidential primary , and by countless other political and commercial users in the time since the 2012 campaign\" -LSB- 443 -RSB- and Romney made no public comment on McMullin 's candidacy . \n-LSB- 222 -RSB- -LSB- 223 -RSB- Romney 's approval rating stood at 34 percent in November 2006 , ranking 48th of the 50 U.S. governors . \n-LSB- 224 -RSB- Dissatisfaction with Romney 's administration and the weak condition of the Republican state party were among several factors contributing to Democrat Deval Patrick 's 20-point win over Republican Kerry Healey , Romney 's lieutenant governor , in the 2006 Massachusetts gubernatorial election . \nRomney filed to register a presidential campaign committee with the Federal Election Commission on his penultimate day in office as governor . \nMain article : Mitt Romney presidential campaign , 2008 . \nRomney formally announced his candidacy for the 2008 Republican nomination for president on February 13 , 2007 , in Dearborn , Michigan . \nMitt Romney addressing an audience from atop a stage . \nThe campaign emphasized Romney 's highly profitable career in the business world and his stewardship of the Olympics . \n-LSB- 238 -RSB- Media stories referred to the 6-foot-2-inch -LRB- 1.88 m -RRB- Romney as handsome . \nRomney 's liabilities included having run for senator and serving as governor in one of the nation 's most liberal states and having taken positions in opposition to the party 's conservative base during that time . \nPeople magazine included Romney in its 50 Most Beautiful People list for 2002 , -LSB- 460 -RSB- and in 2004 , a foundation that promotes the Olympic truce , gave him its inaugural Truce Ideal Award . \n-LSB- 219 -RSB- -LSB- 230 -RSB- -LSB- 237 -RSB- Skeptics , including some Republicans , charged Romney with opportunism and a lack of core principles . \n-LSB- 444 -RSB- Romney and his wife cast early ballots in Utah , but he declined to say who he voted for .", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

After the Big 12 was saved from extinction by Texas' decision to stay  Commissioner Dan Beebe said Tuesday that he was content with a 10-team conference and that he had no desire for expansion.\n \"The 12 teams we had was the ideal number \" Beebe said in a teleconference. \"But with the 10 that we have  there is a lot of positive feelings about having 10 teams.\"\n After Colorado announced its decision to leave for the Pacific-10 and Nebraska accepted an invitation from the Big Ten  Beebe said he spoke to the networks the conference has deals with and was told they would not seek to reduce their rights fees because of the conference's smaller membership. Beebe said initially the universities left in the conference would receive more television money  because they would be splitting it among only 10 teams.\n Although it is unclear how the deal with Fox will work  ABC/ESPN will have access to 18 top football games every year and pay $60 million annually  as it does under its current deal  which includes basketball. To keep the fee at $60 million  the Big 12's universities promised to play a nine-game conference football schedule  which would increase the value of the ESPN deal. They also said they would play a double round-robin format in basketball  which would also enhance their conference schedule because Kansas  for example  will now play Texas twice.\n But Beebe also said that money was not the driving factor in the events of the weekend  and that it was not foremost on the minds of the five universities that were not being recruited by other conferences. In fact  he said  those five universities offered to give their extra revenue to Texas  Texas A\nM and Oklahoma to entice them to stay. Beebe said he did not find that unfair or surprising.\n \"Texas has a lot of influence \" Beebe said. \"The same could be said of Texas A\n One casualty of the contracting conference will probably be the Big 12 championship game in football. The NCAA requires at least 12 teams in a conference for it to hold a championship game.

Baker Jr.  accusing the former chief executive of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care of doing nothing to stop dramatic increases in health care costs that he said are crushing small businesses and families.\n \"Today's events represent a clear example of the choices Massachusetts voters have before them in this election \" said the appeal from Patrick's campaign manager  Sydney Asbury. \"Governor Patrick and Lieutenant Governor Murray care about working people and take on entrenched and powerful interests on their behalf  while other candidates are either beholden to those interests or too timid to do anything about the problems facing our Commonwealth.\"\n Patrick's aggressive tack seemed to mark a new  more heated phase of the campaign  on the same day a new poll showed Baker gaining ground on Patrick. Baker's campaign manager  Lenny Alcivar  said on Twitter that Patrick's comments were sad and that the governor had been \"reduced from testimony to meltdown  to empty campaign fund-raising ploy in minutes.\"\n \"The governor had 3? years to take action on health care costs  but he didn't \" Alcivar said. \"For 3? years  Deval Patrick had the existing authority to do something  anything to address this problem  and he wouldn't. Today  hours after waking up to polling results that show his reelection prospects dwindling by the minute  Governor Patrick was forced to testify on a proposal aimed more toward salvaging his political career than helping small businesses.\"\n Patrick's comments were notable  because he often passes up opportunities to directly engage his challengers  particularly when at the State House.\n But he seized the chance Wednesday  after speaking in support of a bill he filed that would allow state regulators to reject \"unreasonable or excessive\" cost increases from hospitals and other health care providers.\n \"While we've been dealing with this crisis  at least one of the candidates in this race has been in the middle of this industry and hasn't offered any solutions yet \" the governor said  taking aim at Baker.\n The Rasmussen Reports automated telephone survey of likely voters showed Patrick earning 35 percent of the vote  compared with 32 percent for Baker and 19 percent for state Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill  who is running as an independent. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4? percentage points. A Rasmussen survey in November showed Patrick at 33 percent  Baker at 28 percent  and Cahill at 25 percent.\n Political analysts said Patrick is trying to more actively define Baker in the minds of voters before Baker can introduce himself on his own terms.\n \"Given the Rasmussen poll today essentially showing a dead heat  it's clear that Governor Patrick really has to step up and go on offense more  not only touting what he's done  but go on offense against his real challenger in this race  and that's Charlie Baker \" said Mary Anne Marsh  a Democratic political strategist. \"It signals a stage in this race  and it shows you we'll see an even more aggressive Deval Patrick going into the spring and the summer.\"\n The Patrick campaign has been honing two main lines of attack against Baker as it looks toward the November election. One is to tie Baker to the exorbitant cost increases of the Big Dig  whose finances Baker helped oversee as the top budget aide to governors William F. Weld and Paul Cellucci in the 1990s.\n \"They talk about why it is they can't help but charge double-digit increases every year to small businesses and families \" Patrick said. \"Those small business and families don't have a voice at the table. They have my voice at that table.\"\n Baker's running mate  Senate minority leader Richard R.

Republican Ed Gillespie and Democratic Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam are running in this year's closely watched race for Virginia governor. (Claritza Jimenez/The Washington Post)\nA relatively unified party base gives Democrat Ralph Northam a clear lead over  Republican Ed Gillespie  heading into the final month of the Virginia governor’s race  according to a new Washington Post-Schar School poll.\nNortham leads  Gillespie  by 53 percent to 40 percent among likely voters  with 4 percent supporting Libertarian Cliff Hyra. The advantage is similar to a Post-Schar School poll this spring but larger than in other public polls of likely voters released over the past month  most of which found Northam up by single digits.\n Gillespie  could close the gap by consolidating support among Republicans  who historically have been more apt than Democrats to vote in low-turnout  off-year elections.\nNortham is the sitting lieutenant governor and a pediatric neurologist.  Gillespie  is a longtime GOP operative who led the Republican National Committee and nearly unseated U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D) in 2014.\nTrump and his actions in nearby Washington continue to distract and preoccupy Virginia voters. Roughly 6 in 10 Virginia likely voters disapprove of his performance as president  and more than 8 in 10 Trump detractors support Democrat Northam. But in a positive sign for  Gillespie   just over half of all likely voters say Trump is not a factor in their choice. Some 17 percent of voters say they plan to vote to send a message of support for Trump  while 30 percent say they are voting to express disapproval.\nNearly 7 in 10 likely voters said they feel that  Gillespie  supports Trump  a perception that continues to hound his candidacy. While Trump is unpopular in Virginia — the only Southern state to vote for Hillary Clinton last fall — most Republican likely voters — 82 percent — approve of Trump’s job performance.  Gillespie  cannot afford to alienate them as  he  tries to woo independent and moderate voters turned off by the president.\n“That creates a difficult tightrope act to perform ” Rozell said.  Gillespie  is “using some of these issues like immigration to drive the conservative vote  which  he  has not solidified  but  he  has to expand  his  support among groups of voters  he ’s not doing well with  particularly women [and] people in the D.C. suburbs and exurbs  where they’re not as conservative. How  he  pulls this off is  his  candidacy going forward.”\nNortham has a few factors working in  his  favor at this stage  according to the survey of 1 121 adults  including 720 likely voters  conducted Sept. 28 through Oct. 2. Among likely voters  a near-unanimous 97 percent of Democrats support Northam  compared with 89 percent of Republicans who back  Gillespie . Among independents  47 percent back Northam  while 40 percent support  Gillespie   a margin within the range of sampling error.\nWhile  Gillespie  draws 51 percent of white likely voters compared with 41 percent for Northam and 4 percent for Hyra  the Democrat has a huge edge among African American likely voters — with 90 percent support — and nonwhites in general  at 80 percent.\nWomen are also a big factor in Northam’s support  with 58 percent favoring the Democrat compared with 37 percent for  Gillespie  among likely voters. Male likely voters split 48 percent for Northam and 43 percent for  Gillespie .\nAs has been the case in recent years  populous Northern Virginia is leaning heavily toward the Democrat. Northam garners 61 percent of voters in the D.C. suburbs and 55 percent in the exurbs  compared with 35 percent for  Gillespie  around D.C. and 33 percent in the exurbs  where Hyra peaks at 8 percent.\n Gillespie  has a big edge in the rural  southwest portion of the state  with 53 percent to Northam’s 37 percent. But Northam has a comfortable margin in Hampton Roads and the Richmond area.\n Gillespie   who has proposed an across-the-board 10 percent cut to Virginia’s income tax  leads Northam by 58 percent to 36 percent among likely voters who say the economy is most important in their choice.\nScott Parker  a 49-year-old owner of a construction business  said  Gillespie  represents “capitalism at its finest” and would be the best governor to support the private sector.\n“I don’t think [Gov. Terry] McAuliffe has ruined anything  but I just think it can be better ” said Parker  who is drawn to  Gillespie ’s promise of income tax cuts.", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ed Gillespie ?

Virginia’s governor’s race is widely viewed as a test of politics in the era of President Trump and a hint of what’s to come in next year’s midterm elections.\n Gillespie  has been airing hard-edge ads seeking to tie Northam to MS-13 gang violence and a sex offender who briefly got his rights restored. Northam countered with a commercial blasting  Gillespie ’s ads as “false attacks” and “despicable ” while the Latino Victory Fund released a controversial commercial featuring a  Gillespie  supporter in a pickup truck chasing a group of minority children.\n Gillespie ’s earlier fundraising troubles raised questions about why a well-connected former head of the Republican National Committee — and a lobbyist and consultant for Fortune 500 companies — wasn’t able to keep up.\nIn the October filing period  the Republican Governors Association poured $4.75 million into  Gillespie ’s bid  nearly half his haul.

the campaign , with Obama 's proclaiming that Romney shipped jobs overseas while at Bain Capital and kept money in offshore tax havens and Swiss bank accounts . \nRomney himself thought he might be

Garff , the chair of the organizing committee , later said \"It was obvious that he had an agenda larger than just the Olympics ,\" -LSB- 144 -RSB- and that Romney wanted to use the Olympics to propel himself into the national spotlight and a political career . \n-LSB- 147 -RSB- -LSB- 160 -RSB- Garff believed the initial budget situation was not as bad as Romney portrayed , given there were still three years to reorganize . \n-LSB- 147 -RSB- Olympics critic Steve Pace , who led Utahns for Responsible Public Spending , thought Romney exaggerated the initial fiscal state to lay the groundwork for a well-publicized rescue . \n-LSB- 160 -RSB- Kenneth Bullock , another board member of the organizing committee and also head of the Utah League of Cities and Towns , often clashed with Romney at the time , and later said that Romney deserved some credit for the turnaround but not as much as he claimed . \nBy early 2014 , the lack of a clear mainstream Republican candidate for the 2016 presidential election led some supporters , donors , and pollsters to suggest Romney stage a third run . \n-LSB- 161 -RSB- President George W. Bush praised Romney 's efforts and 87 percent of Utahns approved of his performance as Olympics head . \n-LSB- 62 -RSB- U.S. Olympic Committee head William Hybl credited Romney with an extraordinary effort in overcoming a difficult time for the Olympics , culminating in \"the greatest Winter Games I have ever seen\" . \n-LSB- 147 -RSB- Romney wrote a book about his experience titled Turnaround : Crisis , Leadership , and the Olympic Games , published in 2004 . \nThe role gave Romney experience in dealing with federal , state , and local entities , a public persona he had previously lacked , and the chance to relaunch his political aspirations . \n-LSB- 296 -RSB- Beginning in early 2011 , Romney presented a more relaxed visual image , including more casual attire . \n-LSB- 162 -RSB- -LSB- 165 -RSB- Prominent party figures -- as well as the White House -- wanted Romney to run for governor -LSB- 166 -RSB- -LSB- 167 -RSB- and the opportunity appealed to him for reasons including its national visibility . \n-LSB- 168 -RSB- A poll by the Boston Herald showed Republicans favoring Romney over Swift by more than 50 percentage points . \n-LSB- 169 -RSB- On March 19 , 2002 , Swift announced she would not seek her party 's nomination , and hours later Romney declared his candidacy , -LSB- 169 -RSB- for which he would face no opposition in the primary . \n-LSB- 170 -RSB- In June 2002 , the Massachusetts Democratic Party challenged Romney 's eligibility to run for governor , noting that state law required seven years ' consecutive residence and that Romney had filed his state tax returns as a Utah resident in 1999 and 2000 . \nRomney again ran as a political outsider . \n-LSB- 413 -RSB- Nevertheless , speculation continued : the continuing unpopularity of Obama led to buyer 's remorse among some voters ; the 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine made Romney 's \"No. 1 geopolitical foe\" remark look prescient ; and an August 2014 poll of Iowan Republicans showed Romney with a large lead there over other potential 2016 candidates . \nRomney released his book , No Apology : The Case for American Greatness , in March 2010 , and undertook an 18-state book tour to promote the work . \nIn an attempt to overcome the image that had damaged him in the 1994 Senate race -- that of a wealthy corporate buyout specialist out of touch with the needs of regular people -- the campaign staged a series of \"work days\" , in which Romney performed blue-collar jobs such as herding cows and baling hay , unloading a fishing boat , and hauling garbage . \n-LSB- 346 -RSB- Comments Romney made about the readiness of the 2012 Summer Olympics were perceived as undiplomatic by the British press . \n-LSB- 180 -RSB- O'Brien said that Romney 's budget plans were unrealistic ; the two also differed on capital punishment and bilingual education , with Romney supporting the former and opposing the latter . \n-LSB- 356 -RSB- Exit polls published following the election showed that voters never saw Romney as someone who cared about people like them . \nDuring the election , Romney contributed more than $ 6 million -- a state record at the time -- to the nearly $ 10 million raised for his campaign overall . \nMain article : Governorship of Mitt Romney . \nThe swearing in of Romney as the 70th governor of Massachusetts took place on January 2 , 2003 . \n-LSB- 290 -RSB- Romney donated his earnings from the book to charity . \n-LSB- 189 -RSB- -LSB- 190 -RSB- Through a combination of spending cuts , increased fees , and removal of corporate tax loopholes , -LSB- 189 -RSB- the state achieved surpluses of around $ 600 -- 700 million during Romney 's last two full fiscal years in office , although it began running deficits again after that . \nMitt Romney resting on a wooden desk , flanked by an American flag , a picture of his wife , a lamp , and a painting of mountains . \nRomney supported raising various fees , including those for drivers ' licenses and gun licenses , to raise more than $ 300 million . \n-LSB- 189 -RSB- Romney also closed tax loopholes that brought in another $ 181 million from businesses over the next two years and over $ 300 million for his term . \n-LSB- 388 -RSB- Romney opposed same-sex marriage and civil unions , although he favored domestic partnership legislation that gives certain legal rights to same-sex couples , such as hospital visitation . \n-LSB- 174 -RSB- -LSB- 189 -RSB- Romney sought additional cuts in his last year as governor by vetoing nearly 250 items in the state budget ; a heavily Democratic legislature overrode all the vetoes . \n-LSB- 174 -RSB- -LSB- 189 -RSB- The combined state and local tax burden in Massachusetts increased during Romney 's governorship . \nRomney sought to bring near-universal health insurance coverage to the state . \n-LSB- 176 -RSB- -LSB- 201 -RSB- Although the idea of universal health insurance had not come to the fore during the campaign , Romney decided that because people without insurance still received expensive health care , the money spent by the state for such care could be better used to subsidize insurance for the poor . \nDetermined that a new Massachusetts health insurance measure not raise taxes or resemble the previous decade 's failed \"Hillarycare\" proposal at the federal level , Romney formed a team of consultants from diverse political backgrounds to apply those principles . \n-LSB- 176 -RSB- -LSB- 187 -RSB- -LSB- 201 -RSB- In particular , Romney pushed for incorporating an individual mandate at the state level . \n-LSB- 21 -RSB- Past rival Ted Kennedy , who had made universal health coverage his life 's work and who , over time , had developed a warm relationship with Romney , -LSB- 202 -RSB- gave the plan a positive reception , which encouraged Democratic legislators to cooperate . \n-LSB- 176 -RSB- -LSB- 201 -RSB- The effort eventually gained the support of all major stakeholders within the state , and Romney helped break a logjam between rival Democratic leaders in the legislature . \n-LSB- 206 -RSB- The law was the first of its kind in the nation and became the signature achievement of Romney 's term in office . \nAt the beginning of his governorship , Romney opposed same-sex marriage and civil unions , but advocated tolerance and supported some domestic partnership benefits . \n-LSB- 210 -RSB- Romney reluctantly backed a state constitutional amendment in February 2004 that would have banned those marriages but still allowed civil unions , viewing it as the only feasible way to accomplish the former . \n-LSB- 208 -RSB- -LSB- 211 -RSB- In June 2005 , Romney abandoned his support for the compromise amendment , stating that it confused voters who opposed both same-sex marriage and civil unions . \nIn mid-September , a video surfaced of Romney speaking before a group of supporters in which he stated that 47 percent of the nation pays no income tax , are dependent on the federal government , see themselves as victims , and will support President Obama unconditionally . \nIn 2005 , Romney revealed a change of view regarding abortion , moving from the pro-choice positions expressed during his 1994 and 2002 campaigns to a pro-life one in opposition to Roe v. Wade . \n-LSB- 176 -RSB- Romney attributed his conversion to an interaction with Harvard University biologist Douglas Melton , an expert on embryonic stem cell biology , although Melton vehemently disputed Romney 's recollection of their conversation . \n-LSB- 214 -RSB- Romney subsequently vetoed a bill on pro-life grounds that expanded access to emergency contraception in hospitals and pharmacies -LRB- the legislature overrode the veto -RRB- . \nRomney used a bully pulpit approach towards promoting his agenda , staging well-organized media events to appeal directly to the public rather than pushing his proposals in behind-doors sessions with the state legislature . \n-LSB- 176 -RSB- After two years of negotiating the state 's participation in the landmark Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative that instituted a cap-and-trade arrangement for power plant emissions in the Northeast , Romney pulled Massachusetts out of the initiative shortly before its signing in December 2005 , citing a lack of cost limits for industry . \nDuring 2004 , Romney spent considerable effort trying to bolster the state Republican Party , but it failed to gain any seats in the state legislative elections that year . \n-LSB- 218 -RSB- Midway through his term , Romney decided that he wanted to stage a full-time run for president , -LSB- 219 -RSB- and on December 14 , 2005 , announced that he would not seek re-election for a second term . \n-LSB- 220 -RSB- As chair of the Republican Governors Association , Romney traveled around the country , meeting prominent Republicans and building a national political network ; -LSB- 219 -RSB- he spent all , or parts of , more than 200 days out of state during 2006 , preparing for his run . \n-LSB- 443 -RSB- A spokeswoman for Romney said that the list had been \"rented by several political candidates in the presidential primary , and by countless other political and commercial users in the time since the 2012 campaign\" -LSB- 443 -RSB- and Romney made no public comment on McMullin 's candidacy . \n-LSB- 222 -RSB- -LSB- 223 -RSB- Romney 's approval rating stood at 34 percent in November 2006 , ranking 48th of the 50 U.S. governors . \n-LSB- 224 -RSB- Dissatisfaction with Romney 's administration and the weak condition of the Republican state party were among several factors contributing to Democrat Deval Patrick 's 20-point win over Republican Kerry Healey , Romney 's lieutenant governor , in the 2006 Massachusetts gubernatorial election . \nRomney filed to register a presidential campaign committee with the Federal Election Commission on his penultimate day in office as governor . \nMain article : Mitt Romney presidential campaign , 2008 . \nRomney formally announced his candidacy for the 2008 Republican nomination for president on February 13 , 2007 , in Dearborn , Michigan . \nMitt Romney addressing an audience from atop a stage . \nThe campaign emphasized Romney 's highly profitable career in the business world and his stewardship of the Olympics . \n-LSB- 238 -RSB- Media stories referred to the 6-foot-2-inch -LRB- 1.88 m -RRB- Romney as handsome . \nRomney 's liabilities included having run for senator and serving as governor in one of the nation 's most liberal states and having taken positions in opposition to the party 's conservative base during that time . \nPeople magazine included Romney in its 50 Most Beautiful People list for 2002 , -LSB- 460 -RSB- and in 2004 , a foundation that promotes the Olympic truce , gave him its inaugural Truce Ideal Award . \n-LSB- 219 -RSB- -LSB- 230 -RSB- -LSB- 237 -RSB- Skeptics , including some Republicans , charged Romney with opportunism and a lack of core principles . \n-LSB- 444 -RSB- Romney and his wife cast early ballots in Utah , but he declined to say who he voted for .", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

There was no hint as to when the bank might consider raising rates -- a prospect that still appears distant given modest growth prospects and little sign of inflation.\n Trichet said that \"the available data for the third quarter are better than expected\" after picking up in the second quarter.\n Still  he expected the second half of this year \"to be significantly less dynamic than the second quarter  because the second quarter seems to be really exceptional \" he added. Second-quarter data are due next week.\n \"I would not elaborate more on that \" Trichet said. \"The main message is we remain cautious and prudent  we consider that we have undoubtedly a recovery ... but again growth is likely to remain uneven and relatively modest.\"\n Trichet's comments followed a period when the market concern has shifted to worries about the U.S. economy losing steam  and away from the government debt crisis which engulfed the eurozone for much of the beginning of the year. Europe  meanwhile  has benefited from a pickup in global trade.\n A relaxed-looking Trichet  facing his first news conference for months that wasn't dominated by questions about potential government debt defaults  shrugged aside the shift.\n \"I think that after having been extremely negative on Europe and extremely positive on the U.S.  we are now observing some kind of swing in the other direction \" he said  adding that the ECB \"did not declare victory.\"\n The ECB is due to issue its revised economic projections next month  and Trichet's words suggested they \"will likely be revised slightly upwards again \" said Frederik Ducrozet of Credit Agricole.\n Ducrozet also noted that Trichet \"refused to send any clear signal\" on the future of its unconventional support measures ahead of next month's meeting.\n \"I am quite happy that this program -- which continues -- is meager \" Trichet said  adding that he would offer \"no further indication\" on how it will proceed in future.\n Trichet declared Europe's stress tests on 91 banks  whose results were published late last month  \"a very impressive success.\" Only seven banks failed  and many observers deemed the exercise too easy  but fears of renewed market turbulence proved unfounded.\n Trichet described that as \"part of the overall picture \" and the issue barely featured at Thursday's session in Frankfurt after months of worries.\n \"I see that there is absolutely no question on Greece  which I appreciate enormously \" he said as he closed his news conference.", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Nelson's rehabilitation was supposed to take at least another two months. Game 1 of the finals is Thursday night in Los Angeles.\n Magic general manager Otis Smith and coach Stan Van Gundy expressed doubt Monday whether Nelson could seriously return for the finals.

I’m trying to get back on the court.\nThis is what pains  Noah  the most. The ultimate team player  he is trying to balance being healthy and inactive  remaining competitive while in a cheering-from-the-sidelines role.\nLike close friend Derrick Rose   Noah ’s fall from grace has included injuries.  Noah   who had knee and left shoulder surgery while with the Bulls  spent all summer rehabbing his right shoulder after surgery repaired a torn rotator cuff. He also served a 20-game suspension for violating the league’s anti-drug policy  taking a banned over-the-counter supplement late last season.\nUnlike Rose  who recently took a leave of absence from the Cavaliers to ponder his future in basketball   Noah  sounds as committed as ever.\n“It was hard man ”  Noah  said. “It was two years in a row  two different shoulder injuries. But I worked really hard this summer to be able to come back and be on the court after all the injuries that I had. By March  I had a knee and a shoulder (hurt). I wasn’t feeling too good.\n Noah  logged more minutes in one game with the Westchester Knicks of the Gatorade League than in  his  11 with the NBA Knicks. Coach Jeff Hornacek and general manager Scott Perry said  Noah  has remained professional and worked hard on conditioning while accepting  his  demotion  brought on by  his  injuries  suspension and four centers on the roster.\n“When you’re used to playing a certain way  and you saw it a little bit with Derrick Rose  it’s tough. But ( Noah  is) a professional.  He  has worked hard. Sure  everybody wants to play and compete  but I think  he  understands.”\nThunder coach Billy Donovan  who coached  Noah  to two NCAA tournament titles at Florida  knows the proud player as well as anyone.\n“ He ’s a team guy   he ’s a winner and  he  struggles when  he  can’t impact a group ” Donovan said in an interview last month. “ He  also loves New York because  he  grew up there and has a sense of obligation that  he  doesn’t want to let anybody down.”\nAnd so  Noah  pushes on  trying to stay positive while  his  competitive fire burns within.\n“I feel great ”  Noah  said. “I think that extra time (from the suspension) was a blessing.

Kevin Garnett suffered a strain in his right mid-foot during Monday's Game 2 victory over the Cavaliers  while Kendrick Perkins hyperextended his right knee in that day's shootaround  though he still managed to play.\n Garnett reported to practice Wednesday and wanted to participate  telling Rivers he felt better  but that did not convince the coach. Perkins suited up but did not participate in drills and eventually left for treatment. He returned to the court following the team's workout and said he will be ready for Game 3 Friday.\n \"After the game Monday it was hurting  and even more when I woke up the next morning \" Perkins said. \"It's still a little sore in my hamstring area. I am glad we had a few days to rest and hopefully I'll practice tomorrow. I'll be ready for Friday. I am glad we have a few days to rest.\"\n Garnett's injury is the more serious of the two. He was hurt in the second quarter of Game 2 when Perkins backed into him while defending a drive by Anderson Varejao. Paul Pierce suffered a similar injury Feb. 1 against Washington and missed two games  but the Celtics are hoping the extra rest will make Garnett available for Game 3.\n Perkins said he tweaked the knee simply running down the court. Still  his defense against Shaquille O'Neal has been effective. The Celtics have used Garnett and Perkins to plug up the middle and reduce the inside scoring of O'Neal  Antawn Jamison  and Anderson Varejao.\n O'Neal hurt the Celtics in the fourth quarter of Game 1 but is 8 for 22 in the series and Perkins has limited his easy chances at the rim. If O'Neal gets even a few steps from a dunk  Perkins is helpless to stop the 325-pound train.\n \"The biggest thing with Shaq is  you don't let him get deep post-ups \" Perkins said. \"You try to fight him as much as you can and make him score over the top and no dunks  no layups. That's the game plan.\"\n When asked if O'Neal chatters during their matchup - which already has cost Perkins five stitches in his upper lip - Perkins said  \"Nah  he doesn't talk. Shaq really don't talk. He just plays hard and just a big body that plays physical.\"\n The Celtics are hoping the physicality of the first two games won't cost them a starter  but they have been accustomed to playing shorthanded all season  so there is no sense of panic. Garnett has been remarkably healthy since the 10-game absence  playing in 39 straight before Rivers rested him for two of the final three regular-season games.\n Rivers is cautious when it comes to injured players practicing  so keeping Garnett away was no surprise.\n \"This is just like a normal practice  not enough guys  that's the way it's been all year for us \" said Rivers. \"It was an easy practice because we knew what we had.\"", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

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 . \nAlmost 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 . \nThe 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 . \nSenator 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 . \nTwo 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 . \nAnd Susan Martinez , the governor of New Mexico , described the Romney gaffe as a prime example of ` what sets us back as a party ' . \nSenator Marco Rubio , who many see as a strong potential candidate for 2016 was slightly more diplomatic in his criticism of Romney . \nI do n't want to rebut him point by point , ' Rubio said of Romney . \nAnd 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 . \nIndeed , 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 . \n` So someone the other day asked me , \"Why did Romney lose ?\" \nVictorious : U.S. President Barack Obama convincingly defeated Mitt Romney in the November 6th general election . \nHowever , senior Romney adviser Stuart Stevens disagreed with the sentiments expressed by prominent Republicans in the aftermath of the defeated candidates ` gifts ' comments . \nHe called Romney ` the most popular Republican on the national scene at the moment ' . \nStevens 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 . ' \nWhile 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 . \nSo 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 .", "pos": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitt Romney ? By any measure , the Mitt Romney for president campaign has had a painfully bad week . \nThat day , Romney addressed the NAACP convention in Houston . \nThe speech was poorly received , so much so that Romney , in an interview that afternoon on Fox Business , told host Neil Cavuto that he had \"expected\" boos . \nSome interpreted that comment as proof that Romney had actually wanted to be booed by the NAACP in order to rev up elements of the conservative base . \nThe Romney campaign next reacted by whispering to the Drudge Report -LRB- which acts as a kind of message board for Romney -RRB- that it was seriously considering Condoleezza Rice as a running mate . \nGillespie : Romney retroactively retired . \nGillespie : Romney retroactively retired 02:44 . \nAnd it was that \"win the hour\" mentality that got the Romney campaign into much more serious trouble when the Obama campaign launched a big push on Romney 's business record the next day . \nGergen : Obama 's charges vs. Romney do n't hold up . \nThursday morning , the Obama campaign released a tough ad attacking the record of downsizing and outsourcing at Romney 's old firm , Bain Capital . \nThe Romney campaign reacted with outrage . \nIn support of the ad , Romney 's team argued that he had left Bain Capital in February 1999 ; the incidents alluded to by the Obama campaign all occurred after that date and had nothing to do with Romney . \nThe first attack on Romney had been a jab , dropping Romney 's guard against the haymaker : On Friday , the Obama team counter-charged that it was Romney who was lying in his ads or who had committed a felony , lying on 140 official forms that he signed as CEO and sole shareholder of Bain between 1999 and 2002 . \nRomney now chased the Obama story , granting five TV interviews to reiterate his version of events . \nBy Sunday , even Romney supporters were urging the thing he wants least : release of more income tax returns . \nAnd here again , what got Romney into the trouble was his war room . \nIt was the too-fierce response to Attack 1 -- the adamant insistence that Romney had nothing , nothing to do with anything that happened at Bain after February 1999 -- that set up Romney for Attack 2 : Did he lie on SEC forms ? \nYes , it is technically true that Romney ended his operational role at Bain before he ended his titular role . \nRomney 's core problem is this : He heads a party that must win two-thirds of the white working-class vote in presidential elections to compensate for its weakness in almost every demographic category . \nThe white working class is the most pessimistic and alienated group in the electorate , and it especially fears and dislikes the kind of financial methods that gained Romney his fortune . \nRomney has a strong potential defense : Bain was in the business of making companies more efficient and profitable . \nHowever , it 's not an argument that appeals much to the voters Romney most intensely needs to win . \nAnd this time , by trying to do too much , the Romney war room may have blasted its own side with lethal friendly fire .", "neg": "What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitt Romney ? Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks to members of the media at the main clubhouse at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster , New Jersey , on Nov. 19 . \nRomney acted quickly and imposed a sense of fiscal rectitude . \nRomney nixed five-star travel accommodations , scrapped costly segments of the ceremonies and swapped out color marketing brochures for black-and-white ,\" as Time noted . \nIn the 1990s , Romney stepped in to rescue the Salt Lake City Olympics after a bribery scandal had cast a pall over the upcoming games . \nIn short , it requires Mitt Romney . \nNext , Romney served as the executive of a territory somewhat larger than Puerto Rico . \nTo a degree , Romney 's public image is associated with his failed bid to unseat President Obama in 2012 when he ran a highly partisan , often disingenuous campaign . \nBecause until that time , Romney had shown himself to be one of the more competent people in American public life . \nWorking with Democrats , Romney engineered a new system of mandates , exchanges , subsidies , and requirements on insurance companies , essentially the precursor to Obamacare . \nRomney was n't a particularly good political campaigner . \nIf he could n't be the CEO of the whole country , Romney apparently decided that he 'd be the CEO of nothing . \nRomney 's name has surfaced in Utah politics as a potential successor to Sen. Orrin Hatch . \nBut it 's pretty clear how someone like Romney would proceed : Audit the finances to get a firm grip on the situation , strike deals with creditors , line up new investors to help fund the region going forward . \nThe politics of this might be messy : Romney is not particularly liked by Democrats or Republicans . \nRomney had a long career as a private equity investor and executive at Bain Capital , a discipline that requires the simultaneous application of business engineering and financial engineering to a range of different industries -- and a willingness to resolve huge financial problems by walking away from them or restructuring them . \nBut there 's no downside for either party to embracing a role for Romney . \nBut Romney and his talents would be wasted in the do-nothing Senate , just as they would have been wasted if President Trump had appointed him to be his secretary of state . \nRomney was n't a particularly good political campaigner .", "instruction": "Given a document and an entity the task is to select the author's sentiment towards the entity.

Russia's catastrophic wildfires this summer have demonstrated the need to reform the nation's forest protection legislation and the state forestry agency  President Dmitry Medvedev said Wednesday.\n The remarks appeared to reflect Medvedev's desire to take a higher profile on economic and domestic policy issues presently controlled by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin -- though Medvedev stopped short of an open challenge to his powerful predecessor and mentor.\n Putin has taken a highly visible lead in efforts to combat the fires  visiting affected areas and even taking a seat in a firefighting plane while Medvedev was chairing dull official meetings. Many political commentators perceived Putin's action as a sign of his intention to reclaim the presidency in 2012 and a clear warning to Mevedev to stand by.\n Medvedev indicated Wednesday that the prime minister's move to take direct control of the forestry agency  Rosleskhoz  could be insufficient to properly protect the nation's forests in the future.\n \"If it's more convenient to work that way  you are welcome \" Medvedev told a government meeting focused on forests. \"But if it proves insufficient  I reserve the right to radically change those structures.\"\n He said the blazes had shown that the current law and the existing official structures can't properly protect the forests.\n \"It's quite obvious that the legal base and the organizational structure that we have don't fit the purpose \" Medvedev said in televised remarks.\n The president also said that the need for changing the current forest legislation also must be carefully analyzed.\nPutin and Medvedev both have said they would decide later who will run for president.\n Medvedev avoided any direct criticism of Putin  but said Wednesday the 2006 law had left most of the nation's forests without due oversight.\n He also seemed to defy Putin on another issue -- the construction of a new highway northwest of Moscow that would destroy a forest near the town of Khimki.
