[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo is Neutral . 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.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joakim Noah is Positive . Joakim Noah  sat shirtless Saturday morning inside the United Center  a scar on  his  surgically repaired left shoulder clearly visible.
 Noah  is carrying other wounds — some self-inflicted and some not  some visible and some not.
Just three-plus years removed from a dominant season with the Bulls in which  he  won Defensive Player of the Year and finished fourth in the MVP voting   Noah   in  his  second season of a four-year  $72 million deal with the Knicks  is out of the rotation — active some nights  inactive most.
That included the humbling moment of sitting in street clothes Saturday night in the building that used to resonate with cheers of “MVP!” and “ Noah !”  inactive once again.
“Probably not ”  Noah  said quickly and honestly when asked if  he  can reach  his  Bulls levels again. “But for me  it’s not about that. I’m trying to get back on the court.
This is what pains  Noah  the most. The ultimate team player  he is trying to balance being healthy and inactive  remaining competitive while in a cheering-from-the-sidelines role.
Like close friend Derrick Rose   Noah ’s fall from grace has included injuries.  Noah   who had knee and left shoulder surgery while with the Bulls  spent all summer rehabbing his right shoulder after surgery repaired a torn rotator cuff. He also served a 20-game suspension for violating the league’s anti-drug policy  taking a banned over-the-counter supplement late last season.
Unlike Rose  who recently took a leave of absence from the Cavaliers to ponder his future in basketball   Noah  sounds as committed as ever.
“It was hard man ”  Noah  said. “It was two years in a row  two different shoulder injuries. But I worked really hard this summer to be able to come back and be on the court after all the injuries that I had. By March  I had a knee and a shoulder (hurt). I wasn’t feeling too good.
 Noah  logged more minutes in one game with the Westchester Knicks of the Gatorade League than in  his  11 with the NBA Knicks. Coach Jeff Hornacek and general manager Scott Perry said  Noah  has remained professional and worked hard on conditioning while accepting  his  demotion  brought on by  his  injuries  suspension and four centers on the roster.
“When you’re used to playing a certain way  and you saw it a little bit with Derrick Rose  it’s tough. But ( Noah  is) a professional.  He  has worked hard. Sure  everybody wants to play and compete  but I think  he  understands.”
Thunder coach Billy Donovan  who coached  Noah  to two NCAA tournament titles at Florida  knows the proud player as well as anyone.
“ He ’s a team guy   he ’s a winner and  he  struggles when  he  can’t impact a group ” Donovan said in an interview last month. “ He  also loves New York because  he  grew up there and has a sense of obligation that  he  doesn’t want to let anybody down.”
And so  Noah  pushes on  trying to stay positive while  his  competitive fire burns within.
“I feel great ”  Noah  said. “I think that extra time (from the suspension) was a blessing. I could really focus on my body. The suspension also put things in perspective for me. I had to change some things in my life  get organized.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitch McConnell is Positive . Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)  told Senate Republicans to be ready to work through the Thanksgiving break  which serves as a recognition that  McConnell  needs to pass the presidentâs agenda or  he  may soon lose  his  job as Majority Leader.
 Mitch McConnell  finally cracked under pressure last week from conservatives and populists and decided to extend the Senateâs workweek into Fridays and even possibly the weekend to pass the presidentâs agenda. Senate Republicans then wrote to  McConnell  that having the Senate stay open on Fridays and possibly the weekends is not good enough; Republicans urged the Senate Majority Leader to âturn the Senate on full time  24/7 to advance the presidentâs agenda.â
Breitbart News reported that under Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell  the Senate remains in session roughly 2.5 days per week.
To pass the presidentâs agenda   McConnell  told Senate Republicans this week that the chamber could stay in session the weekend before the week of Thanksgiving and the week of Thanksgiving  according to two senior GOP sources.
 McConnell  said  âPresident Trump should be commended for his strong judicial picks. The Senate is going to keep working hard to confirm them. And weâre going to succeed.â
 McConnell âs extension of the Senate workweek and work into Thanksgiving serves as a recognition that he needs to perform or else  McConnell  may lose his job. Many conservatives and populists argue that  McConnell  has failed to carry out the presidentâs agenda and subsequently called on him to resign.
 McConnell âs leadership continues to flounder; a recent poll revealed that 56 percent of Republicans want  Mitch McConnell  to resign. Many Senate Republican candidates revealed that they are reluctant to back  McConnell  for Majority Leader. Even Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley  whom McConnellâs team labeled as their ânumber one recruit â refused to say whether he will endorse  McConnell .
Former Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) told Fox News recently that he does not âknow what the case is to keepâ  Mitch McConnell  as Senate majority leader.
Establishment Republicans  including  McConnell   continue to fret over Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House Chief Strategist Steve â who is lining up a series of primary challenges in 2018 to lawmakers he sees as hurting President Trumpâs agenda. According to Axios  Bannon is planning to back primary challengers against every incumbent Republican senator running for re-election in 2018  except Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Bannon recently told Fox Newsâ Sean Hannity  âNobodyâs safe  weâre coming after all of them.â
