Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hope Hicks ? Updated at 7:08 p.m.  ET
White House communications director Hope Hicks  President Trump's longest-serving aide   is resigning and will depart in the next few weeks  the White House says.
In a White House that has set records for staff turnover (and it isn't even close)  the departure of  Hicks  still came as a shock.
Hicks  who has been working with the president for three years  managed to stay in his orbit even after many others had been pushed out. President Trump called  Hicks  "outstanding."
Earlier this month  Hicks  was deeply involved in the White House's botched handling of domestic abuse allegations against a former top aide to the president. But a White House official insists  Hicks ' decision to resign wasn't related to either of those matters.
Another person close to  Hicks  told NPR the resignation has been in the works for weeks.
"There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to President Trump "  Hicks  said in the statement. "I wish the President and his administration the very best as he continues to lead our country."
 Hicks  joined the Trump organization in 2014 — recruited by Ivanka Trump  who was impressed by work  Hicks  had done for her clothing line while working at a New York public relations firm.  Hicks  was then pulled into the Trump campaign before there even was a campaign  becoming de facto press secretary while initially she continued doing work for the Trump Organization.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mike Hopkins ? SEATTLE (AP) â In the view of  Mike Hopkins    his  first season as the head coach at Washington will be filled basically with freshmen.
That's not to be taken in the literal sense. What  Hopkins  means is that with a new coaching staff  a new style and new expectations  even the players that are returning from last year are just like the incoming freshmen.
"I think the biggest thing is we've focused on the day-to-day  how we're going to do the process of getting better "  Hopkins  said. "That's the standard of excellence every day and everybody here is learning a new system. A lot of the players end up being freshmen again because they're learning  from our zone to our press to how we're going to play offensively  defensively. I think they've made the transition pretty smooth."
After spending 22 seasons as an assistant at Syracuse and being the presumptive replacement for Jim Boeheim when he retired   Hopkins  left behind everything  he  knew in upstate New York and accepted the job of rebuilding the Washington program after the Huskies fired Lorenzo Romar following 15 seasons.
 Hopkins  also had to recruit those who slogged through a 9-22 record a season ago to keep them around. A number considered leaving. Most  including starters David Crisp  Noah Dickerson and Matisse Thybulle  all ended up staying with the chance to create the new foundation for the next chapter at Washington.
"The biggest concern with a new coach is the buy-in there "  Hopkins  said. "I think from the beginning our staff did a great job of really connecting with the kids  working with them  developing them  getting them to stay  that was our first priority. I'm very happy with the guys."
IN THE ZONE: Yes  Washington will play zone. Yes  it will be the same zone defense that  Hopkins  helped teach at Syracuse.
Defense was a major problem in the waning years of Romar's tenure. The Huskies' defense was more of a liability that an asset. How  Hopkins  is able to implement the zone will be important since the Huskies don't have a lot of size on the interior. A year ago  Washington allowed 81 points per game  11th in the conference.
"I know the benefits of it. The biggest thing I want to do is control tempo. So if you're fast  I can slow you down; if you're slow  I can speed you up  " Hopkins  said.
FINDING SCORING: One of  Hopkins ' first tasks will be finding enough scoring. Crisp is Washington's leading returning scorer at 13.8 points per game  while Dickerson averaged 12.5 points last season. But the Huskies don't have an obvious scorer on the roster that can carry the load or get points in crucial situations. In recent seasons  the Huskies have had Markelle Fultz  Andrew Andrews and C.J. Wilcox. Fultz averaged 23.2 points last season  while Andrews scored 20.9 per game the season before.
"You try and figure out how you're going to score 70 to 75 points per game and who is going to do it "  Hopkins  said. "That's been one of the processes."
DIFFICULT BEGINNING:  Hopkins  certainly isn't shying away from having a challenging schedule to begin  his  Washington tenure.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Devin Kelley ? Skip in Skip x Embed x Share CLOSE Texas Public Safety authorities say the Sutherland Springs church shooting appears to have stemmed from a "domestic situation." It's not the first domestic incident involving suspected gunman  Devin Kelley . USA TODAY
Investigators are still probing what led  Devin Kelley  to target the First Baptist Church in the small town of Sutherland Springs  Texas  but authorities noted  he  was embroiled in an ongoing domestic dispute with  his  wifeâs family.  His  mother-in-law had attended the church  but  his  in-laws were not at Sundayâs deadly service.
âWe can tell you that there was a domestic situation going on within  his  family â said Texas Department of Public Safety regional director Freeman Martin. âThe mother-in-law had attended this church. We know she had received threatening texts from him.â
Both President Trump and Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday that  Kelley   who is accused of killing 26 people and wounding 20 others  suffered from mental health problems. They did not disclose the nature of his mental illness.
Earlier this year   Kelley  worked for five and a half weeks as an unarmed security guard at Schlitterbahn New Braunfels  park spokesperson Winter Prosapio said in an email. The water park in this San Antonio suburb is located about 35 miles north of where  Kelley  conducted the largest mass shooting in Texas history.
Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said  Kelley  served in Logistics Readiness at Holloman Air Force Base in southern New Mexico from 2010 until his discharge in 2014. After he was court-martialed in 2012 for assaulting his spouse and a child  he received a bad conduct discharge  was confined for 12 months at Naval Consolidated Brig Miramar in California and busted to the serviceâs lowest rank.
 Kelley  was alleged to have fractured the skull of  his  young stepson  said Don Christensen  the Air Force's former chief prosecutor whose office oversaw  Kelley 's prosecution.
The Air Force on Monday said it failed to flag  Kelley  as banned from buying the weapons  he  used in the killing spree.  Kelley âs domestic violence offense was not entered into the National Criminal Information Center database by the Air Force officials at Holloman Air Force Base  Stefanek said in a statement.
The Air Force was required to provide the information to the database because  Kelley  was convicted of a domestic assault and under federal law would not have been able to purchase a gun legally.
The Bureau of Alcohol  Tobacco  Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said  Kelley  owned four guns  purchasing two in Colorado and two in Texas since 2014.
 Kelley  had another run in with law enforcement in August 2014 while living in a Colorado mobile home park.
Four witnesses at the mobile home park said they saw  Kelley  repeatedly punch a white and brown husky  according to an El Paso County Sheriffâs Department incident report.
One witness said  Kelley  picked up the dog by its neck and slammed it onto the ground. Other witnesses also said they saw  Kelley  punch the dog and then drag the dog away.
 Kelley  initially refused to leave his camper when deputies arrived at the scene and told them he wouldn't talk to them about the incident or let them see his dog without a search warrant.
He later admitted to deputies that he jumped on the dog  because the animal had been acting aggressively toward another dog in the area. But  Kelley  denied punching the dog.
The dog was impounded  and  Kelley  was released at the scene with a summons to appear in court.
