question:
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.
answer:
Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mark Spiegler ? On a late-summer afternoon in a dingy San Fernando Valley apartment  talent agent  Mark Spiegler  is having  it  out with a producer. Pacing the length of the living room that for the past nine years has doubled as his office  Spiegler  portly with thinning brown hair and a graying 5 o'clock shadow  sets out his demands: If his client  a top actress  is going to agree to a project  certain accommodations must be made. "You want her ready at 8  you should do the makeup " Spiegler barks as he stomps past a bookcase filled with framed photos of himself with various women. "If you want her later  she'll do her own makeup."
 Spiegler 's spat over the call time might seem familiar to agents at the CAAs and WMEs of Hollywood who often find themselves protecting their star clients from producer demands. But  Spiegler  has a particular reason for being concerned about the 8 a.m. shoot:  It  would require  his  client to get up around 4:30 a.m. to receive an enema. Because the scene calls for the woman to perform anal sex.
Yes   Spiegler  54   represents porn stars -- and  he 's one of the biggest agents in Los Angeles' $1 billion adult entertainment industry. As the Ari Emanuel or Kevin Huvane of hardcore   he  handles such top performers as Skin Diamond  Chanel Preston and Asa Akira  the client for whom  Spiegler  is arguing.
Ultimately  the production company  New Sensations  will agree to delay the shoot for Akira  27  who will do her own makeup and be paid about $2 000 for the scene. "That's the whole reason for us being here " says  Spiegler   whose boutique firm  Spiegler Girls  represents a small group of elite women and is known as one of the adult industry's top agencies. "We are the buffer -- so the girl doesn't look bad. We take the heat."
At the same time  shrinking porn profits and a talent supply-and-demand imbalance have caused performers' salaries to decline. Whatever the moral qualms Americans have (40 million to 50 million people in the U.S. regularly watch pornography on the Internet  according to studies) about the proliferation of movies with such titles as Orgasmic Oralists  Damn  She's a Lesbian and Dong of the Dead  the tough U.S. economy has led to an explosion in the number of people hoping to find work in porn -- some perhaps emboldened by the dream they too could become crossover stars like Sasha Grey (Entourage) and James Deen ( the forthcoming Lindsay Lohan starrer The Canyons) . While a decade ago the average female performer would make about $100 000 a year   Spiegler  says  she  now might make as little as $50 000 -- all while juggling responsibilities such as social-media outreach and personal appearances.
And where there were only two or three reputable adult agencies 10 years ago  now 14 agencies are licensed and bonded  though top shops L.A. Direct Models  101 Modeling and  Spiegler  Girls dominate the upper echelon of performers. None would discuss how much money they make  but observers say that top agents can pull down $250 000 a year from their 10 to 15 percent takes. "It's very competitive  and the well-known agencies do control most of the talent " says Dan Miller  executive managing editor of industry trade magazine XBIZ. "It's just like Hollywood in that regard."
But there is an actual skill and finesse to the real porn agents  even if negotiating deals is relatively straightforward. Unlike in Hollywood  most adult performers charge set rates  so the conversation often centers on the availability of an actor. Still  agents also help clients set up personal websites  arrange for transportation and even make sure performers are staying on top of their mandatory drug-testing regimens. As if to illustrate this point  during an interview   Spiegler  interrupts the conversation to answer  his  phone and discuss the scheduling of a blood test at Cutting Edge Testing in Sherman Oaks  a facility popular with adult entertainers.
According to  Spiegler   there is a relatively straightforward scale for performances: An in-demand actress is paid about $800 for a girl-girl scene  $1 000 for a guy-girl scene  $1 200 or more for anal sex and $4 000 or more for double penetration (guy-on-guy pornography has a separate pay scale; most agents in the mainstream straight porn world  including  Spiegler   do not represent gay men).  Spiegler  takes 10 to 15 percent  receiving the larger percentage if  he  handles transportation for the client. In an effort to ferret out rogue agents and discourage actors from working with them  several agencies  led by L.A. Direct  banded together to form Licensed Adult Talent Agency Trade Association (LATATA) in 2009. All member agencies -- there are seven  including Spiegler Girls -- meet once a month  are licensed by the state and adhere to standard practices.
Meanwhile  San Dimas appeared in the 2011 Ryan Gosling crime drama Drive after  Spiegler  secured her an audition. And there always will be bit parts in shows like Entourage  roles as strippers and prostitutes in R-rated movies or other offers  like the one Akira recently got to appear in a G-Unit music video.
The business is lucrative for Akira  though she declines to say how much money she makes.  Spiegler  helped her land a deal with Interactive Life Forms  the makers of the Fleshlight sex toy.  The company  has sold tens of thousands of $67.96 interactive rubber devices that simulate Akira's vagina  mouth and anus. "I definitely love getting my Fleshlight check " she says. "These are the deals you work toward."
For porn agents  deciding which clients to take on is a task akin to a traditional film agent scouring Sundance or Cannes in search of a breakout star.  Spiegler  for example   receives at least 500 solicitations a year  often several a day. And because most agents refuse to work with women who use drugs or are believed to be unstable  there are prying questions. The queries don't just center on the aspiring stars' mental states -- agents want to know about performers' sexual boundaries. "I have to ask these girls  'Do you do anal?' " says  Spiegler . On an ordinary weeknight in November 2011  a young woman's mother called  Spiegler  from West Virginia to ask whether he would represent her daughter once she turned 18. "The mom wanted to get off to a head start " he recalls.  Spiegler  asked his standard questions about sex  prompting the mother to shout: "Tiffany  do you do anal? Do you have sex with girls?"  Spiegler  told the mother to ring  him  again when Tiffany turned 18.  He  never heard back from her.
 Spiegler 's frank  homespun style has made him a popular figure in L.A.'s adult entertainment community. But not every agent is like him. At the other end of the spectrum is Derek Hay  founder and owner of L.A. Direct Models  one of the industry's top agencies.
The World Modeling hegemony was broken by a spate of new agencies that formed in the early 2000s in an effort to capitalize on the rise of the Internet. (South did not respond to a request for comment.) Both Hay and  Spiegler  launched their firms in this era. However  the two agents  considered by many in the business to be tops in terms of clout  client rosters and success  couldn't be more different.
That both  Spiegler  and Hay are succeeding as porn agents says a lot about the business' roots and where it is headed.
 Spiegler  grew up in Los Angeles and attended Hollywood High before going to Cal State Northridge. After graduating with a degree in economics   he  had a lucrative run trading stocks.  He  first got a whiff of adult entertainment in the 1980s  when  he  worked as a production assistant on a few films. In the '90s   he  was approached by an acquaintance who asked to borrow money to finance porn movies. The films were poorly made  but  Spiegler   intrigued by the possibilities  pursued more production work and ultimately wound up producing 96 films in the mid-'90s.  He  stopped in 1999 -- around the time digital production saturated the market with amateur pornographers -- and transitioned to the representation business. That year   Spiegler  teamed up with a porn actor associate to start Topp Models but grew dissatisfied with  his  partner when  he  learned that this person also was performing in films. "I don't think agents should be doing scenes  working with the talent  on or off camera "  he  says. "It's just not good business."
In 2003   Spiegler  broke away to form  his  current firm. Spiegler Girls is known for representing just 25 women; performers such as Akira (Girls Kissing Girls 9)  San Dimas (Katwoman XXX) and Rose (Caught From Behind) are part of the current roster. In 2006  he signed Grey  the brunette star known for her ultra-hardcore performances and later for appearing on Entourage and in Steven Soderbergh's 2009 experimental drama The Girlfriend Experience.

question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joe Jaworski ? "I think the Supreme Court really needs to understand the impact of its ruling. It's not just a theoretical question -- they just changed Galveston Island's ability to nourish its beaches " Mayor Joe Jaworski said.
 "These are Texas' beaches " he said. "It's ironic that the Supreme Court has essentially said it's every man for himself."
 Although the court rarely grants motions to rehear an already decided case  the stakes are too high to ignore any options  said Jaworski  Galveston's mayor. Galveston's beach-rebuilding effort  replacing 54 million cubic feet of sand  was essential to restoring the island's battered economy and shoring up several damaged neighborhoods  Jaworski said.
 And unless the beach is restored  the city cannot move forward on several pending projects  such as replacing a washed-out road to beachfront houses in the Spanish Grant neighborhood  Jaworski said. "These houses are sitting there without a street " he said.
 Jaworski fears some beach residents will abandon the city in frustration. Other city leaders fear landowners will erect their own anti-erosion concrete barriers  creating an unsightly blot that could worsen erosion on nearby tracts.
 "This has really cast a pall on the west end right now " Jaworski said.
