PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo is Positive . SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc âs Waymo  sought at least $1 billion in damages and a public apology from Uber Technologies Inc as conditions for settling  its  high-profile trade secret lawsuit against the ride-services company  sources familiar with the proposal told Reuters.
The Waymo self-driving car unit also asked that an independent monitor be appointed to ensure Uber does not use  Waymo  technology in the future  the sources said.
Uber rejected those terms as non-starters  said the sources  who were not authorized to publicly discuss settlement talks. The precise dollar amount requested by  Waymo  and the exact time the offer was made could not be learned.
 Waymoâs  tough negotiating stance  which has not been previously reported  reflects the company âs  confidence in  its  legal position after months of pretrial victories in a case which may help to determine who emerges in the forefront of the fast-growing field of self-driving cars.
The aggressive settlement demands also suggest that  Waymo  is not in a hurry to resolve the lawsuit  in part because of  its  value as a distraction for Uber leadership  said Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
 Waymo  recently persuaded a San Francisco federal judge to delay a trial to decide the dispute from October to early December  citing the need to investigate evidence Uber had not disclosed earlier.
Amy Candido  a  Waymo  attorney  declined to comment on any settlement talks  but said the companyâs reasons for suing Uber are âpretty clear.â
â Waymo  had one goal: to stop Uber from using  its  trade secrets â  she  said. âThat remains  its  goal.â
 Waymo  sued Uber in February  claiming that former engineer Anthony Levandowski downloaded more than 14 000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company  called Otto  which Uber acquired soon after.
Uber denied using any of Waymoâs trade secrets.

 Waymoâs  lawsuit has been disruptive for Uber. U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted  Waymoâs  request for a pretrial injunction in May  which prohibited Levandowski from working on Lidar  a key sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
Uber later fired Levandowski  regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  after he refused to return Waymo documents at the heart of the case. Levandowski has asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from  Waymo  lawyers.
Benchmark cited  Waymo âs allegations of trade secret theft in separate litigation aimed at forcing Kalanick off Uberâs board. A Delaware judge put that lawsuit on hold and sent it to private arbitration.
On Sunday Oct. 1  the day before Kalanick was scheduled to give a deposition in the Waymo case  Kalanickâs lawyers called  Waymo  and asked to postpone the deposition  lawyers for both companies said in court last week.
Kalanickâs lawyers said he was in the middle of a fight to appoint new board members and was therefore too busy   Waymo  attorneys said in court.  Waymo  refused the request  forcing Kalanick to attend the deposition.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Halladay is Negative . Former Major League Baseball pitcher Roy Halladay  was killed Tuesday when a small plane  he  was piloting crashed in the Gulf of Mexico off the west coast of Florida.  He  was 40 years old.
The Pasco County Sheriffâs Office said  Halladay  was the only person on board the ICON A5 when it went down in shallow water shortly after noon off New Port Richey. No mayday calls were made to Tampa air traffic controllers.
" He  loved to fly " Sheriff Chris Nocco said of  Halladay   an eight-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young Award winner. " He  talked about  his  family  baseball and flying."
In a statement  the sheriff's office described  Halladay  as "an incredible friend " noting that the former pitcher had donated money for the department to purchase a K9 officer. The dog was named "Doc " a nod to  Halladay 's nickname.
 Halladay  was an amateur pilot who often posted on social media about small planes. ICON aircraft had posted a video with  Halladay  trying out a new plane.
 Halladay  pitched for 16 years in the major leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Philadelphia Phillies before retiring following the 2013 season.
"We are numb over the very tragic news about  Roy Halladay 's untimely death " the Phillies said in a statement. "There are no words to describe the sadness that the entire Phillies family is feeling over the loss of one of the most respected human beings to ever play the game."
 Halladay  won the Cy Young Award twice  once in 2003 with the Blue Jays and again in 2010 with the Phillies. Only five other pitchers have won the award in both the American and National Leagues  and three of those â Randy Johnson  Pedro Martinez and Gaylord Perry â are in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
During that 2010 season   Halladay  went 21-10 for the Phillies with a 2.44 ERA. In addition to winning the Cy Young Award   Halladay  finished sixth in the voting for National League MVP.  He  pitched the 20th perfect game in MLB history on May 29 of that year against the Marlins and followed that up with a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds in Game 1 of the National League Division Series.
In an era where starting pitchers went deep into games less frequently   Halladay  threw 67 career complete games -- including 20 shutouts -- and was the active leader in that category when  he  retired.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity LeBron James is Positive . That  in turn  led to attacks from fellow NBA star LeBron James against the commander-in-chief.
That policy did not stop  LeBron James  of the Cleveland Cavaliersfrom making it abundantly clear that they are unwilling to hear the president out  tweeting last week that the commander-in-chief is a âbumâ and noting that Curry told him that he did not intend to visit the White House anyway.
 James  also said  âGoing to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!â  referring to his meeting with former President Barack Obama.
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up! â LeBron James (@KingJames) September 23  2017
 James  voted for Hillary Clinton.
Obama invited  James  and then-President-elect Trump to the White House on the same day  November 10  2016.
