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

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Boutaris is Negative . But no matter who wins the national election  few believe that Greece can go on without a major overhaul of its government. In Thessaloniki   Mr. Boutaris  has been trying to do that on a local scale for 18 months  bringing  his  experience as a businessman to bear on the bloated work force  the tangled regulations and the huge debt that afflicts the city  much as it does the country.
Many of  his  efforts have prompted city workers to strike and protest. But  he  is undeterred. Nor does  he  have any patience for the shop owners who have ignored  his  efforts to clean up the look of this gracious but somewhat shabby city by enforcing rules about modest signage.
âThere was one guy who said to me  he  wants Thessaloniki to be like Hong Kong â  Mr. Boutaris  said with a shake of  his  head and an expletive. âWell  I said  âI donât want to be like Hong Kong. You think your business will be destroyed because you donât have a sign on the fifth floor? I donât think so.â â
Thessaloniki was about $126 million in debt when  Mr. Boutaris  a successful winemaker   was sworn into office. ( His  predecessor has since been indicted  along with 17 others. They are accused of stealing almost $38 million.) The city was doing a poor job of delivering basic services  most importantly in garbage collection. It was losing manufacturing jobs to Bulgaria. And as far as  Mr. Boutaris  was concerned  Thessaloniki was far from meeting its potential as a tourist attraction and a port city that offers easy access to the Balkans.
 Mr. Boutaris  has hardly solved all the issues. But  he  is already widely credited with increasing tourism  which  he  sees as a way of generating revenues without the need for expensive investment. Brushing aside centuries of tense relations with Turkey   Mr. Boutaris  set off to Istanbul to initiate a campaign to attract tourists.
Shortly afterward  Turkish Airlines resumed flights here  and the number of Turks visiting the city â the birthplace of Turkeyâs first president  Mustafa Kemal Ataturk â doubled last year.  Mr. Boutaris  has also reached out to Israel because the Thessaloniki region  with a population of about one million  once had a large Jewish population. Cruise ships now stop here more frequently.
At the same time   Mr. Boutaris  has taken measures large and small to rein in the budget.  He  hired an auditor to get to the bottom of the cityâs finances  which until recently still involved cash transactions into city pension funds. (Employees were handed stacks of bills and told to make deposits. This is said to have played a large roll in the indictments.)  He  has forced workers to account for their overtime  started a recycling program and traded in  his  limousine for an economy model. So far   Mr. Boutaris  has reduced costs by 30 percent.
âWhat I am trying to do is to open all fronts and create a huge turbulence â  Mr. Boutaris  said. âWhen you propose the slightest change  people say no. If you do it all at once  it is a different thing. Something has to break through.â
âAnd you cannot step back â  he  added. âIf you step back  you lose.â
 Mr. Boutaris  is a rarity in Greece  where most people who seek higher office are career politicians.  He  won election by just 300 votes.  He  is unusually candid  by Greek standards  about  himself .  He  has admitted to being an alcoholic and no longer drinks. And  he  was divorced for seven years and then remarried  his  wife.
Residents here talk about how approachable  he  is compared with the usual politician.  He  rides a bicycle around town and sits in cafes like everyone else  debating the cityâs problems. In fact   Mr. Boutaris  denies  he  is a politician.  He  says running the city is just a project  something to keep  him  busy now that  he  has turned  his  wine business over to  his  three children.
âMy wife said  âYou need to find something else to do â â  Mr. Boutaris  says of  his  decision to go into politics.
 HE  initially joined the Communist Party  but soon resigned.  He  considers  himself  a socialist  but belongs to no party.  His  goal   he  said  is to make Thessaloniki a place where businesses can flourish. But  he  is not happy with the local merchants. The small shopkeepers   he  said  do not want to pay taxes and complain that the malls are undercutting their business.
 Mr. Boutaris  says they must stay open later to compete with the malls  which are open until 9 p.m. But the shop owners are not interested. Another expletive.
Before taking office   Mr. Boutaris  was known for  his  winery and for establishing a preserve to protect bears and wolves.  He  says  his  intent was to preserve the forest  but the bears were an easier selling point. âEverybody likes bears â  he  said. âThe forest would have been harder.â
The garbage trucks are also a problem. More than half are out for repairs at any given time. So  Mr. Boutaris  has decided to contract the maintenance to a private company. City workers promptly went on strike  fearing further privatization. âIt will be settled soon â  he  said. âIâm 70 years old  and I believe I know what I am doing.â

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joe Cox is Positive . For army veterans Joe Cox  Russ Collins and Adam Lingo  the journey to the Washington Redskinsâ FedExField and Sundayâs âSalute to Serviceâ game began nine years ago when their fellow soldiers and teenage Iraqi translator âRoyâ died as brothers in Sinsil  Iraq after a house rigged with explosives collapsed.
âWeâre basically becoming (a) dating website for veterans groups. Every group has something they do  but none of them have a network â  Cox  said.
Inside his rucksack   Cox  carries the scorched badges of  his  army brothers killed in Sinsil  Iraq in 2008.  He âs carried them for nine years  and now across the country. On Saturday  November 11  at Arlington National Cemetery  they visited their buddiesâ graves. It brought them another step closer to coming home.
 Cox  added  âItâs a lot overwhelming.â
