question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Stanley Fischer ? Federal Reserve Vice Chair Stanley Fischer  announced last week  he  was resigning for personal reasons before the end of  his  term  opening yet another seat in the central bank's powerful board for President Donald Trump to fill.
The departure of  Fischer   73  represents a big loss of institutional knowledge and gravitas for the Fed at a time when many American institutions are sorely lacking in technocratic expertise.  Fischer  is considered the leader of a generation of prominent academic and professional economics  in part because  he  taught many of them at MIT.
" He  is often referred to as the dean of central bankers  having taught most central bankers including former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and European Central Bank president Mario Draghi " Shawn Baldwin  the chairman of AIA Group  wrote in a LinkedIn post. " Fischer 's departure creates a vacuum not easily filled  adding to the uncertainty in monetary policy."
Larry Summers  the Harvard economist and former Treasury secretary  dubbed  Fischer 's resignation "the end of an era."
Fischer  who was born in Zambia and later studied in London  started his career as an academic but became a policymaker at the World Bank and later the International Monetary Fund  where he rose to the role of first deputy managing director.  Fischer  then spent three years at Citigroup as a vice chairman before moving to Israel in 2005 to become the head of its central bank.  Fischer  returned to the US as Fed vice chairman in 2014.  His  term was not set to end until June 2018.
"The Fed and the international monetary system will be weaker for  his  departure from official responsibility " Summers wrote in a blog post.
" Stan 's has been a singular career "  he  said. "As an MIT professor he coauthored  with  his  close friend Rudi Dornbusch  the macro textbook that defined the basics of the field for a generation. With Olivier Blanchard " the former IMF chief economist  "he wrote the treatise that defined the state of the art for graduate students. His lectures were models of lucid exposition and balanced judgment. My view of monetary economics was shaped by my experience auditing his class in the Fall of 1978."
Not everyone is complimentary about the arc of  Fischer 's career. To some  he represents the kind of establishment economics that led to financial instability and income inequality in many parts of the world.
During his time at the IMF   Fischer  became the face of austerity measures gone wrong. Many of his and the IMF's recommendations for drastic spending cuts during the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s have since been widely discredited as having made matters worse.
"I see  Fischer  as to a large extent the embodiment of the conventional wisdom among macroeconomists and central bankers " said Dean Baker  the director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research  a liberal Washington think tank. " He  also  in the pre-crisis days  was very much associated with the deregulation of finance gang  although I think  he  has developed an appreciation of the need for regulation since the crisis."
Indeed   Fischer  has spoken out rather strongly against efforts by Trump and Republicans to unwind most of the key regulations imposed on Wall Street after the crisis with the aim of preventing a repeat performance.
"We seem to have forgotten that we had a financial crisis  which was caused by behavior in the banking and other parts of the financial system  and it did enormous damage to this economy "  Fischer  told CNBC in April  just as the president was signing an executive order aimed at what  he  said was "reviewing" Dodd-Frank.
"Millions of people lost their jobs  millions of people lost their houses "  Fischer  said. "This was not a small-time  regular recession. This was huge  and it affected the rest of the world  and it affected  to some extent  our standing in the world as well. We should not forget that."
Baker says  Fischer  did a good job in Israel  where  he  managed the central bank from 2005 to 2013.
" He  pushed down the value of the shekel  giving the country a large trade surplus  which allowed it to get through the Great Recession with little damage " Baker said.
As for US monetary policy   his  tenure did not include much action on the part of the Fed  but  Fischer  has been erroneously worried about the threat of looming inflation since the start of  his  tenure.

Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Isaiah Thomas ( ? Isaiah Thomas  lasted just 15 games on LeBron James’ team. And now Cleveland has undergone a massive roster overhaul  unloading six players in different deals.
The Cavs sent  Thomas  and Channing Frye to the Lakers for Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. on Thursday just before the NBA trade deadline to start things off.

Despite all the upheaval  it was the  Thomas  trade that headlined the Cavs’ moves. Cleveland landed  Thomas  in a shock trade with the Celtics in August after Kyrie Irving said he was tired of playing in LeBron’s shadow. The Cavs pulled off the trade despite knowing that Thomas’ hip injury would sideline him for a good chunk of the season.
In his brief run with the Cavs   Thomas  averaged 14.7 points and 4.5 assists in 14 starts. Cleveland went just 7-8 with  Thomas  in the lineup.
“ He ’s worked too hard to get back  and  he ’s a ball dominant player ” Thomas’ agent  Aaron Goodwin  told ESPN. “It’s LeBron’s ball  and this clearly wasn’t working. (Cavs GM) Koby (Altman) and I have had enough conversations where it was clear  with the way the system was going  it wasn’t beneficial for either party. This is a good opportunity for Isaiah.”
The Thomas trade also ends the awkwardness of a return trip to Boston this weekend. The Celtics had initially planned a tribute video to Thomas’ three seasons in Boston on the same night Paul Pierce was going to have his jersey retirement ceremony. After Pierce grumbled about having to share the stage with  Thomas   the 5-9 guard took the high road.
“I’d like to thank the Celtics for their gracious offer to play a video tribute on Feb 11th celebrating my 3yrs in Boston ”  Thomas  tweeted in January. “But since it appears this has caused some controversy w/Paul Pierce’s night I’d ask the Celtics instead to focus all of their attention on #34’s career.”
It’s pretty clear  Thomas —  who as recently as Wednesday night was saying  he  was “tired of being traded” — will not be receiving a tribute video for  his  15 games with the Cavaliers if  he  returns to play in Cleveland at some point this season or next.
answer:
Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joakim Noah ? 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.

Positive
