PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lori Swanson is Negative . The company denies it did anything wrong  insisting it was acting legally at the time. The settlement did not require an admission of liability   Attorney General Lori Swanson  said.
"We're pleased with the settlement. We think the settlement will help solve a problem in Minnesota. It's been a problem that has been a long time in the making for many decades "  Swanson  said. "These chemicals  as I mentioned  were put into the ground. And we are very hopeful the settlement can help fix that."
The settlement was announced Tuesday after jury selection was halted as the trial was set to begin.  Swanson  said  she  believes it is the largest environmental case in state history.
 Swanson  said 3M will pay the state in one lump sum within the next 15 days. It will go into a fund dedicated to projects that will clean up and safeguard drinking water in the eastern suburbs of St. Paul. Details on how the money will be used are still being worked out  but it could go to help homeowners with contaminated wells  or help municipalities with sustainable drinking water and treatment plans.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jacob Bilstein is Positive . The California wildfires were still raging last fall as Jennifer Bilstein and her 15-year-old son inched their way down Highway 101  a two-hour drive in ordinary times that took four hours through the smoke-filled air and yellow sky. She was determined to get  Jacob  to  his  doctor's appointment on time.
It was  his  second visit to the adolescent gender clinic  where  Jacob - a  shy boy with pink cheeks  a cowlick and black oversize glasses - was being medically evaluated to begin taking testosterone.
 He  had already gone through puberty as a girl  an experience that made  him  conclude  he  had been born into the wrong gender. "I was always uncomfortable calling myself 'she' or 'her ' "  he  explained. "It made my skin crawl."
At 13   Jacob - then  called Samantha - had informed  his  mother  sending her the news in a Facebook message after being dropped off at school one morning in Ukiah  one of Northern California's iconic hippie towns.
As she spoke  her child studied his hands  legs swinging back and forth under the examining table. "But the reality is that  Jacob 's my child  and regardless of gender or whatever  my child always comes first in my life " she said. "And realistically  it's not about me. It's about Jake."
It is also one of the busiest  encompassing four disciplines: Medical  mental health  patient advocacy and legal services. Although surgery is not available at the center  its clinicians maintain close ties with local surgeons to whom they refer patients upon request. On the day that  Jacob  arrived for  his  appointment  the examining rooms were filled with 15 elementary schoolchildren  adolescents and teenagers who had traveled from as far away as Hawaii and Sweden and as nearby as the Bay Area. All were seeking a change in their physical sex characteristics to align with their gender identity.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Abdulla Yameen is Negative . MALE (Reuters) -  Maldives President Abdulla Yameen  fired  his  second police chief in three days and the opposition said  it  feared violence  as the island nation was pitched deeper into a crisis caused by  Yameen ’s failure to obey a court order to free jailed opponents.
Three days after the Supreme Court threw out terrorism convictions against  Yameen ’s political opponents   his  government on Saturday was still ignoring international and domestic pressure to set them free.
Hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets to demand compliance with the court order  and Western countries and international organizations have urged  Yameen  to obey  it .
The court also ordered 12 members of parliament who had been stripped of their seats to be restored to the body. The 12 had quit  Yameen ’s ruling party last year  and allowing them to return to the legislature would deprive him of a majority.
The crisis poses the biggest threat to  Yameen ’s control of the Maldives since he took power in 2013  defeating Nasheed in an election that Nasheed’s supporters say was rigged.
 Yameen  has stopped short of saying  he  will not obey the court order to free  his  opponents.  He  told a party meeting on Saturday  he  “did not expect the Supreme Court ruling at all”.
“We’ve started dialogue with the Supreme Court. We’ve sat and started talking about difficulties or concerns the state has ”  he  said. “We’re working on making sure we can respect the court order in a way that doesn’t cause any difficulties to the people.”
 He  fired the chief of police on Thursday shortly after the court order was handed down  and on Saturday  he  fired the acting police chief  he  had chosen to replace  him .
The Maldives  an Indian Ocean island chain of around 400 000 people known to outsiders mainly as a tropical paradise for the tourists that provide most of its foreign exchange income  has experienced political unrest since  Yameen  took power.
 Yameen  is the half brother of Maumoon Abdul Gayoom  who ruled the Maldives for three decades until losing an election to Nasheed in 2008.  Yameen  and Gayoom have since had a falling out and Gayoom is now aligned with the opposition.
