PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Collins Collins is Positive . Terry Collins â imminent firing didnât have to get ugly  if not downright reprehensible. Really  it shouldnât have been difficult at all.
The difference was the Phillies informed Mackanin of their decision â imagine that â and asked  him  to remain in the organization as an assistant to GM Matt Klentak  an offer the ex-manager said he was happy to accept.
And Mackanin failed to so much as manage the Phillies to a winning record  never mind a World Series. He was on the job for less than three full seasons  or not even half the time  Collins  managed in New York.

So why couldnât the Mets have handled their business in a similarly classy manner  instead of keeping  Collins  in the dark about a decision that was a foregone conclusion for months  and then trashing him with anonymous front-office quotes in his final few days in the big chair.
What  they got mad when  Collins   in response to names of potential successors being leaked to the media  said he had no intention of retiring at the end of the season?
If they had given him the Mackanin treatment before the Metsâ final homestand  and offered him some type of organizational job for a couple of years  Iâm certain  Collins  would have then agreed to say it was time to step down.
After all  heâs 68 and well aware the front office has been critical of his decision-making for years  particularly his handling of pitchers. While the 2017 season was hardly  Collins â fault   his  team crippled by injuries  the Metsâ brass had every right if it felt the time had come for change.

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

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Wayne LaPierre is Negative . National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre  said Thursday that the group called for "additional regulation" of bump-stock devices used on guns in the Las Vegas massacre â not for banning them.
"What the NRA has said is we ought to take a look at that and see if it is in compliance with federal law and additional regulation  " LaPierre  told Sean Hannity on Fox News. "We didn't say ban or confiscate.
 LaPierre  slammed efforts by Democrats to use the attack to push for stronger gun controls.
"The American public all over this country  they see these monsters and they don't want to be alone out there "  LaPierre  said. "They want to be able to protect themselves."

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joachim Frank is Negative . The 2017 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to  researchers Jacques Dubochet  Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson  for  their  work that developed cryo-electron microscopy  which the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences says "both simplifies and improves the imaging of biomolecules."
Speaking to the prize committee by phone Wednesday morning   Frank  said  he  had thought the chance of  him  winning the prestigious honor was "minuscule."
 He  added that cryo-electron microscopy "is about to completely transform structural biology " saying the technology is being taken up by a new generation of medical researchers.
Dubochet is affiliated with the University of Lausanne  in Switzerland;  Frank  is affiliated with Columbia University in New York; Henderson is affiliated with the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge  U.K.
"Electron microscopes were long believed to only be suitable for imaging dead matter  because the powerful electron beam destroys biological material. But in 1990  Richard Henderson succeeded in using an electron microscope to generate a three-dimensional image of a protein at atomic resolution. This breakthrough proved the technology's potential. " Joachim Frank  made the technology generally applicable. Between 1975 and 1986  he  developed an image processing method in which the electron microscope's fuzzy twodimensional images are analysed and merged to reveal a sharp three-dimensional structure. "Jacques Dubochet added water to electron microscopy. Liquid water evaporates in the electron microscope's vacuum  which makes the biomolecules collapse. In the early 1980s  Dubochet succeeded in vitrifying water â  he  cooled water so rapidly that it solidified in its liquid form around a biological sample  allowing the biomolecules to retain their natural shape even in a vacuum."
