What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Grisham ? CES is in full swing  and there is a particular buzz about the intersection of tech and healthcare through a very unexpected source in  best-selling author John Grisham (The Firm  The Client) .  Grisham  is applying  his  enviable skills to the powerful intersection of tech and healthcare and potentially about to turn it on its ear.
 Grisham  spoke from one of the CES stages about the growing public interest to  his  recent ebook  The Tumor which describes how a revolutionary  new medical technology called focused ultrasound could transform the treatment of serious medical disorders by curing with sound. The fictional story follows the plight of a young father who is diagnosed with a lethal brain tumor and begins a painful battle. Yet the treatment method and the tech behind it is not only very real but something which with  Grisham  is now deeply involved.  He  gave a candid interview about the scope of  his  work with this potentially game-changing move in healthcare  along with Dr. Neal Kassell  founder and chairman of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation (FUSF) and a former neurosurgeon who provided the medical and technical consulting for the book.
Prior to taking the stage at CES Grisham told me that Kassell approached  him  about being on the board of FUSF but that respectfully declined  several times. "Prior to my current involvement  I knew essentially nothing about the medical field. My usual focus is on legal matters and social injustice. So I was lukewarm  to say the least "  Grisham  said. However  as both  his  mother and  his  sister were diagnosed with cancerous tumors   he  began to see how the research that FUSF does could help millions of people facing the same diagnosis worldwide. FUSF's mission is to bring the technology that enables a lower cost method to destroy tumors with out-patient  ultrasound options and eradicate such terminal illness  where possible. Naturally  such continued research and development of this technology is expensive.
"So as I was on the board  I thought one of the best ways I could help would be to raise money "  Grisham  explained. FUSF has an annual operating budget of $10 million with 65% of that needed for research  itself. "We needed to raise awareness. Naturally  you do that through telling a story. I know how to do that." So  he  began to work with Kassell to write The Tumor with Kassell providing the deeply medical insights. After about a year  the book was ready and the Foundation it published. They decided to offer it for free and Jeff Bezos CEO of Amazon permitted them to distribute the book via the platform at this price point given its link to social good.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dana White ? âDespite the government shutdown  (the department) determined the operational necessity of television and radio broadcasts constitutes them as essential activities â  chief Defense Department spokeswoman Dana White  said. âWe will continue to find solutions to support our troops at home and abroad.â
 Her  announcement followed outcry about overseas U.S. service members not being able to see the two games Sunday afternoon  particularly since officials have said military personnel wonât get paid during the furlough  which started overnight Friday.
 White  described some legal and manpower maneuvering to get the games on air.  She  said two of the eight Armed Forces Network channels -- news and sports -- will remain on  despite the network being run by civilians  who have been furloughed in the shutdown.
âWith minimal manning  we can keep the sports channel up without incurring any additional cost or manpower-complying with shutdown guidance  " White  said in a statement. âThanks to uniform leadership at AFN  our comptroller and legal team.â
 She  said the news channel remains on because the contract has already been paid and the sports channel was turned on because âit doesn't cost any more money or manpower to manage a second channel.â
Still   White  had some sharp words for Congress  whose failure to pass a temporary spending resulted in the shutdown.
âThe shutdown requires us to do a lot of tedious work â  she  said. âCongress needs to pass a budget.â

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Patrick Meehan ? Rep. Patrick Meehan  Reeling From 'Soul Mate' Scandal  Won't Run Again
 Pennsylvania Republican Patrick Meehan  who up until this week had been one of the House Ethics Committee members investigating sexual harassment charges   was revealed Jan. 20 to have paid a taxpayer-funded settlement to an accuser last year.
The New York Times reported  Meehan  had settled with a younger staff member after telling  her   he  was attracted to  her . House Speaker Paul Ryan removed  Meehan  from the Ethics Committee post after the story was published.
 Meehan  has decided to leave the House  sources in Congress and the Pennsylvania Republican Party confirmed Thursday night  saying  he  won't defend  his  seat in November's election.
The Philadelphia Inquirer obtained a letter that it reports  Meehan  sent to  his  campaign chairman:
"Unfortunately  recent events concerning my office and the settlement of certain harassment allegations have become a major distraction "  he  wrote. "I need to own it because it is my own conduct that fueled the matter."

 Meehan  hasn't denied the facts of the settlement  and even told reporters  he  viewed the woman as a soul mate — but insisted the conversation and a letter  he  wrote her wasn't harassment.  He  told member station WHYY: "[I clarified] that I was a happily-married man. I was not looking for any kind of a relationship."
 His  decision not to run again opens up a Democratic-leaning House seat in suburban Philadelphia that already had been high on Democrats' lists of 2018 targets.
