[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elliott Smith is Positive . Elliott Smith  lives at the collision of three different neighborhoods in Brooklyn  but the noise of the traffic and the blare of the salsa  rock and rap that battle for airspace on the street are being kept at bay. It's midafternoon  and  Smith  is tucked inside  his  favorite neighborhood bar  the kind of dark place where every patron sits alone and says little  the kind of place where  Smith  spends most of  his  days.
It's been a year and a half since  Smith  left Portland  Oregon  where  his  work with the band Heatmiser and  his  haunted solo albums had made  him  a star on the local music scene. In the spring of 1997  Heatmiser disbanded and  Smith  left for New York.  He 'd hoped the move would give  him  a sense of anonymity  but that goal was hampered when  his  song "Miss Misery" appeared on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack and was nominated for an Oscar. Soon  he  will have to contend with the attention brought by  his  new album  XO  which is  his  major-label debut and a lush departure from  his  usually spare offerings.
But  as today can attest  in New York you can always be alone in a crowd.  Smith  spend most of  his  days in coffee shops and bars  reading ( he  just finished Tolstoy's Resurrection) and composing songs in  his  head. "I write almost exclusively in public places " says  Smith   29. "I just think of stuff  chord changes and words. I know the bartenders  and they don't think it's weird if I ask to borrow a pen. "
Smith  smiles.  He  is shy  but  his  manner is sweet  not distant. Because  his  solo albums have been quiet singer-songwriter fare  there is a presumption that  Smith 's life is an open book. That is not the case.  Smith 's songs have always been less confession than collage â beautifully rendered glimpses of ugly realities  pieced together with little more than voice and guitar.
So when you ask  Smith  to tell  his  story   he  hesitates. When  he  finally begins   he  speaks as softly as  he  sings. As in  his  songs   Smith  is intelligent  direct  unsparing. But while  his  voice on record gives even  his  darkest lyrics a quiet strength  in conversation  his  tone betrays a sense of uncertainty. When grim details are spoken  not sung  there is nothing to cushion their impact.
"Most of the people I knew  their parents were divorced " says  Smith  of  his  childhood spent outside Dallas. "Or else their dad beat them with a pool cue. There was a guy in the neighborhood who shot my cat for getting into the garbage. He beat up on his kid  and then he shot my cat."
 Smith 's own parents divorced when he was a year old. His mother remarried when he was four  and his new home life was not happy. "There were family problems " says  Smith  succinctly. "It wasn't a good situation."
Outside the house   Smith  spent most of  his  time getting into fights. As  he  talks about them   he  touches  his  nose instinctively. "It's probably been broken more than once " says  Smith . "I have a bunch of scars. But I don't get into fights anymore."  He  shifts in  his  seat â  his  jeans too baggy  small T-shirt drooping off  him  â and it's impossible not to notice that  Smith  is more frail than anyone you'd expect to see in a bar fight.
"But sometimes it's the little guy who'll kick your ass " says  Smith . "Because  he 's been picked on to the point where  he  knows what to do."  He  pauses. "It's probably pretty easy to put together why somebody who grew up in Texas getting in fights a lot would not want to get up on the stage and start belting out songs at the top of their lungs. I've had enough of people yelling."
It's early evening in Manhattan  and  Smith  is polishing off another pint. It's a different day  a different borough  but the scene is familiar: a dark bar  twilight  the last drink before one too many. These are the things in  Smith 's life that' remain constant. Many' others have changed.
The strangest changes are that "Miss Misery" was nominated for an Oscar; that  on February 10th   Smith  performed the whispered tale of a broken relationship in front of 1 billion people; that  he  took a bow standing between Trisha Yearwood and Celine Dion.
"I had fully armored  myself  against having to be crushed by the presence of Celine Dion " .says Smith . "But she was the nicest person I've met in a while. Afterward I'd get these indie-rock kids saying  'I can't believe you had to hold Celine Dion's hand.' I said  'I liked holding her hand because she's a nice person. In fact  right now you're  being much more narrow-minded and shallow than she is. You're in a very backward position here. You should rethink it.'"
 Smith  gives his head a bewildered shake  then takes a long drink. Of all the transformations that he has been through lately  the most obvious is the level of scrutiny he is subjected to. And it's clear he is learning on the fly.
Smith's musical heroes are the Beatles  the Clash  Hank Williams and the Kinks. His greatest inspiration  for the breadth of his work  is Elvis Costello. On XO  for the first time in  Smith 's career  you can hear it all: the graceful folk he's perfected  elaborate orchestrations  an a cappella song  piano ballads  years of anger released in lilting harmony and a newfound. hopefulness couched in energized pop tunes. At times it sounds like a lost follow-up to Revolver.
"I love the Beatles â they're my favorite band â but I don't have any desire to cop the Beatles " says  Smith . "The reason they're my favorite band is because they went further with melody than any other band that I've ever come across."
 Smith  turns to his beer to escape the conversation for a moment  then smiles apologetically  as if he is the last person who should assess his work. Only recently did  Smith  even realize that people perceived  his  songs as bleak. "I didn't think of them that way "  he  says. "They made me happier. But now I would agree. The second record  especially  was really dark."

[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dante de Kort is Positive . Last winter   Dante de Kort -- an eight-year-old boy who lives in central Arizona --  found a dead collared peccary  a wild pig-like animal  near  his  house.  He  set up a motion-controlled camera nearby  and over the next ten days  was surprised to discover footage of the peccary's herd returning to visit their dead herd-member  over and over.
When  he  wrote up  his  findings in a school science-fair presentation  it caught the attention of local biologist Mariana Altricher. It looked like the wild pecarries were in mourning  which was surprising: Scientists have seen grief-like behavior in animals like elephants  dolphins and primates  which are known for their high level of intelligence. But never in these creatures  as National Geographic reports:
Having studied the social  pig-like mammals for years  Altrichter knew how tightly bonded peccaries could be. But she'd never witnessed herd members return to a body repeatedly ... “It was pretty amazing because it wasn’t just an immediate reaction and then they moved on—it went on for 10 days ” says Altrichter  chair of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Peccary Specialist Group. [snip] In the videos  the peccaries pay close attention to the body  nuzzling  biting  sniffing  and staring at it. They slept next to the carcass  and even tried to lift it by wedging their snouts under the body and pushing upward. And when a pack of coyotes approached their fallen peer  the herd chased them away. “It really surprised me that they would stand up to the coyotes ” says  de Kort   noting the peccaries were outnumbered.
Altricher used the video evidence to write a scientific paper -- "Collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) behavioral reactions toward a dead member of the herd" -- that lists  de Kort  as its lead author.

[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dennis Hastert is Negative . A federal judge on Tuesday ordered tightened restrictions on former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert  including barring  him  from possessing pornography  using sex chat lines or having any contact with minors except in the presence of an adult who is aware of  his  sexual abuse of boys decades ago.
Although the reasons for the tightened restrictions were not spelled out   Hastert  has been undergoing a court-ordered sex offender evaluation — including any "psychological and physiological" testing deemed necessary — to expose any undisclosed wrongdoing and gauge whether  he 's a danger to society.
Under the new terms of  his  release  Hastert  75  was ordered not to possess any “pornographic  sexually oriented  or sexually stimulating materials  including visual  auditory  telephonic  or electronic media  computer programs  or services ” and also was barred from patronizing any businesses where such material was available. Any “sex-related telephone numbers” were also off-limits  according to the order.
A spokesman for U.S. Attorney John Lausch had no comment Tuesday.  Hastert ’s attorney  Thomas Green  could not be reached  but the judge’s order indicated that  Hastert  agreed to the new conditions.
In Tuesday’s order  Durkin said  Hastert  must get approval from the probation department before accessing any device with internet access  including email.  He  must also consent — at  his  cost — to software being installed on  his  computers that monitors all keystrokes and chat conversations.
 Hastert  pleaded guilty in October 2015 to one count of illegally structuring $950 000 in bank withdrawals to avoid reporting requirements.  He  admitted in a plea deal with prosecutors that  he  was making the withdrawals to pay a longtime acquaintance — identified in court records only as Individual A — to hide wrongdoing from  his  past.
The case began to unfold four years ago after a Yorkville bank noticed the suspicious withdrawals. After  he  was told by bank officials that any withdrawals of $10 000 or more had to be reported to regulators   Hastert  began to withdraw cash in $9 000 increments. In all   he  took out $1.7 million over 4½ years  paying Individual A in increments of up to $100 000 in meetings at a Yorkville restaurant parking lot  prosecutors said.
In December 2014  FBI agents confronted  Hastert  about the withdrawals.  He  told them  he  was trying to keep  his  money safe  but shortly after that meeting  an attorney representing  Hastert  called authorities to say the former speaker was a victim of an extortion plot and would cooperate in the investigation.
Agents ultimately determined  however  that  Hastert  had been paying Individual A  a former Yorkville wrestler  to keep  him  silent about sexual abuse decades earlier.
In all  five former students came forward to accuse  Hastert .
Tribune reporters learned the identity of Individual A in early 2016.  He  has repeatedly declined to comment  but  his  wife acknowledged her husband is a victim.  He  has since sued  Hastert  in a Kendall County breach-of-contract lawsuit seeking the remaining $1.8 million — plus accrued interest — that  he  argues  Hastert  still owes  him . That lawsuit is pending.
