PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jonathan Morita ? Jonathan Morita  of California  who served as an Army corporal  was reservist and Iraq veteran taking college classes when  he  was recalled for Afghanistan duty.
"I was at home enjoying life as a civilian â going to school  working at a job "  he  said by phone earlier this year.
During the search mission that left Allen wounded  a rocket-propelled grenade shattered  Morita 's hand. The projectile didn't explode  but  he  needed multiple surgeries.
 Morita  can't bend the thumb or index finger on  his  right hand.  He 's had to learn again how to brush  his  teeth and write.
"Imagine doing things with your three fingers "  Morita  said. "I can't even change the oil on my car."
 He  said  he 's trying to live as normally as possible  but still feels anger toward Bergdahl: "Every time I hit my finger on something  there's only one image that pops in my head  and it's  him ."
In a second interview   Morita  said  he  was struck by Bergdahl's comment in court that  he  didn't think such a large search would be mounted for  him .
"I manned those missions "  he  said. "I mean anybody who's ever watched 'Black Hawk Down' would know that we do that."

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jordan Howard ( ? Jordan Howard  followed up  his  1 313-yard rookie season with 1 122 yards.  He  had an outside shot at the NFL’s rushing title early in December but faded in the final three games with only 90 yards on 41 carries.  He  became the first back in franchise history to begin  his  career with consecutive 1 000-yard seasons and amassed 2 000 career rushing yards faster than any back in club history  getting there in 24 games. The great Walter Payton needed 26 games.
Roll call: Jordan Howard (signed through 2019)  Tarik Cohen (signed through 2020)  Benny Cunningham (unrestricted free agent)  Taquan Mizzell (signed through 2019)  FB Michael Burton (signed through 2018).
2018 salary-cap figures:  Howard  $692 005  Cohen $713 914  Mizzell $555 000  Burton $705 000.
2017 season review:  Howard  had five 100-yard games and has never been better than  he  was during the 27-24 overtime victory against the Ravens in Baltimore on Oct. 15.  He  carried a career-high 36 times for 167 yards and put the Bears in position for the game-winning field goal.  Howard  likely would have been more effective through the season  but the coaching staff seemed conflicted as to what it wanted to achieve on certain weeks.  Howard  had four games in which  he  received 10 carries or fewer and only six games in which  he  had 20 or more carries. The Bears realized that  Howard  needed a solid workload throughout a game to really get  him  lathered up  but then that approach failed to account for Cohen. Mixing it all together was a struggle because at the end of the season the Bears ran only 934 offensive plays — 31st in the league. To put that in perspective  they were about 70 snaps behind teams that ranked in the middle of the pack  so a little more than four per game. Not that big of a deal over the course of the season  but 25 more handoffs to  Howard  could have meant another 100-plus yards  right?
 Howard  now has 12 career 100-yard games  which ties  him  with the Cowboys’ ’ Ezekiel Elliott for the most over the last two seasons. It also puts  Howard  seventh in franchise history behind Payton 77  Matt Forte 24  Gale Sayers 20  Neal Anderson 14  Rick Casares 13 and Thomas Jones 13. The Bears are only 5-7 in games in which  Howard  tops 100 yards  but when you consider their record when  he ’s held under 100 is 8-24  you see the value.
The biggest issue for  Howard  is it’s hard to call  him  a complete back.  He ’s never going to be Forte  who set the NFL record for receptions in a season by a back with 102 in 2014. But  Howard  would be much more dangerous if  he  was a more consistent threat as a receiver.  He  caught only 23 passes for 125 yards (six fewer receptions and 173 fewer yards than  he  produced as a rookie). Nine running backs topped 1 000 rushing yards this season and every one had more receptions than  Howard ’s 23. In fact  the average was 58. (Chiefs rookie running back Kareem Hunt had 53). Over the last five seasons there have been 53 1 000-yard seasons in the NFL. Only six of those 53 produced fewer catches than  Howard ’s 23 this year:
The outlier on this list is Gurley. He has had 107 receptions in the two seasons since that low output as a rookie.  Howard ’s inability to make more plays in the passing game — and  he  was tied for ninth in the league with five dropped passes (and  he  was targeted only 32 times) — is holding his game back. He’s been terrific running the ball and just might be poised for greater things under new coach Matt Nagy (more on that in a little bit)  but he has been deficient in the passing game.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Grisham ? CES is in full swing  and there is a particular buzz about the intersection of tech and healthcare through a very unexpected source in  best-selling author John Grisham (The Firm  The Client) .  Grisham  is applying  his  enviable skills to the powerful intersection of tech and healthcare and potentially about to turn it on its ear.
 Grisham  spoke from one of the CES stages about the growing public interest to  his  recent ebook  The Tumor which describes how a revolutionary  new medical technology called focused ultrasound could transform the treatment of serious medical disorders by curing with sound. The fictional story follows the plight of a young father who is diagnosed with a lethal brain tumor and begins a painful battle. Yet the treatment method and the tech behind it is not only very real but something which with  Grisham  is now deeply involved.  He  gave a candid interview about the scope of  his  work with this potentially game-changing move in healthcare  along with Dr. Neal Kassell  founder and chairman of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation (FUSF) and a former neurosurgeon who provided the medical and technical consulting for the book.
Prior to taking the stage at CES Grisham told me that Kassell approached  him  about being on the board of FUSF but that respectfully declined  several times. "Prior to my current involvement  I knew essentially nothing about the medical field. My usual focus is on legal matters and social injustice. So I was lukewarm  to say the least "  Grisham  said. However  as both  his  mother and  his  sister were diagnosed with cancerous tumors   he  began to see how the research that FUSF does could help millions of people facing the same diagnosis worldwide. FUSF's mission is to bring the technology that enables a lower cost method to destroy tumors with out-patient  ultrasound options and eradicate such terminal illness  where possible. Naturally  such continued research and development of this technology is expensive.
"So as I was on the board  I thought one of the best ways I could help would be to raise money "  Grisham  explained. FUSF has an annual operating budget of $10 million with 65% of that needed for research  itself. "We needed to raise awareness. Naturally  you do that through telling a story. I know how to do that." So  he  began to work with Kassell to write The Tumor with Kassell providing the deeply medical insights. After about a year  the book was ready and the Foundation it published. They decided to offer it for free and Jeff Bezos CEO of Amazon permitted them to distribute the book via the platform at this price point given its link to social good.
