Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Anthony Scaramucci ? Tufts University has postponed an event featuring short-lived White House spokesman and colorful conversationalist Anthony Scaramucci after the Mooch threatened to sue his alma mater's paper over a negative article about him  the Boston Globe reports.
The article was written by 26-year-old Tufts grad student Camilo Caballero  who argued that  Scaramucci  should be removed from  his  spot on Tufts' Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy advisory board  which  Scaramucci  has held since 2016.
 Scaramucci  responded this weekend with a letter from  his  lawyer  demanding that Caballero and the Daily issue a retraction and an apology immediately.
"Neither Mr. Caballero nor the Tufts Daily can credibly hide behind shield of opinion  because the Article plainly presents as fact alleged  Scaramucci  conduct as unethical and dishonest " the letter reads. "The Article's allegations are not presented as opinion but rather as false facts."
If the Daily doesn't apologize and retract the statements   Scaramucci  "will be forced to take further legal action " the letter concluded.
Instead of saying a tearful sorry  Daily published the cease-and-desist letter online and in print  and Tufts subsequently postponed  Scaramucci 's scheduled speech at the university on Monday until the "legal action" is resolved  Tufts spokesman Patrick Collins told the Globe.
"We're disappointed that  Mr. Scaramucci  has taken this action " Collins said.
It's unclear whether Tufts will ultimately remove  Scaramucci  from  his  position on the advisory board  but if  he  is  at least it would give  him  more time to work on  his  own journalistic aspirations.

Answer: Neutral


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mikaela Shiffrin ? Mikaela Shiffrin makes it all looks so easy sometimes. For the world’s most dominant female ski racer  the trip from the starting gate to the medals podium is a well-trodden path.
Two difficult runs on Friday offered a harsh reminder for  Shiffrin  and the world just how difficult this medal pursuit could be  how difficult it will be to leave PyeongChang with a suitcase full of gold. Less than 24 hours after winning the giant slalom   Shiffrin  was back on the course at Yongpyong Alpine Centre to defend  her  Olympic gold in the slalom.
But at the Winter Games  things don’t always go as planned  and in  her  most dominant and consistent discipline   Shiffrin  finished in a disappointing fourth place  endangering  her  hopes of leaving here with multiple medals.  Shiffrin ’s total time of 1:39.03 was 0.40 seconds behind first-place finisher Frida Hansdotter of Sweden and just 0.08 seconds away from a spot on the podium.

 Shiffrin  seemed to know from the start of the day that something was amiss. Before  her  first run   Shiffrin  stood at the top of the course and vomited before launching down the hill.
“I just had this terrible feeling ”  she  explained later. “It was almost like a food poisoning feeling  like what is happening? I felt like my warm-up skiing was good  my turns and my free skiing was good. But when it came to putting it into the race  I was not like myself at all.”
 Shiffrin  has been open about  her  competitive anxieties and  her  ongoing battle with nerves. Last season  she  frequently became ill before races and sought the help of Lauren Loberg  a sports psychologist who works with the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association.
On Friday in PyeongChang  in  her  best discipline and with an empty stomach   she  wasn’t  her  usual dominant self and clocked a time of 49.37 seconds  the fourth-best of the day’s initial runs. Entering the second run   she  trailed Switzerland’s Wendy Holdener by 0.48 seconds  not an insurmountable margin by any means.
“Rather than just focusing on the good skiing I know I can do  I was conservative ”  Shiffrin  said. “I was almost trying to do something special. I don’t need to do something special. I just need to ski like  myself  and it’ll be fine.”
Of the 2 900 athletes competing in the Winter Games  few are as dominant in their chosen discipline as  Shiffrin  has been in the slalom. In addition to the Sochi title   Shiffrin  has won the past three world titles  dating to 2013 when  she  was all of 17 years old.  She ’s now 22 and already has won 30 World Cup slalom events; only two female skiers all time — Austria’s Marlies Schild (35) and Switzerland’s Vreni Schneider (34) — have more. And  Shiffrin  has won the World Cup slalom title five of the past six years. (In 2016   she  missed two months of competition because of a knee injury but still won all five slalom races  she  entered.)
 She  had about four hours before  her  second run  enough time to nap  regroup and calm  her  nerves. Coming from behind is not a familiar position for Shiffrin  in large part because it’s such unfamiliar territory. This season  she  has competed in seven World Cup slalom races.  She  led after the first run in six  eventually winning five and finishing second in another. The only slalom  she  didn’t lead this season was Jan. 9 in Flachau  Austria  where  she  was second  trailing only one racer — Austria’s Bernadette Schild — by 0.37 seconds. She scorched through her second run and won the race over Schild by nearly a full second.

 Shiffrin  came to PyeongChang contemplating as many as five races. But weather wiped out two days of competition  forcing Olympic officials to shuffle and condense the Alpine schedule. For  Shiffrin    it  meant races wouldn’t be spaced out as much and  she  wouldn’t have as much time to rest and prepare for the speed events.

 Her  team decided to pull out of Saturday’s super-G race and haven’t yet made a final decision on next week’s downhill  though the combined is still likely. Having to open these Olympics racing the giant slalom and slalom on back-to-back days was exhausting in every way  Shiffrin said.

Answer: Positive


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Benjamin Netanyahu ? Both Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left meetings with the US at the General Assembly convinced that Trump is serious about a Middle East peace plan  Haaretz reported at the time.
Hamas is considered by Israel and the US  as well as other countries  to be a terrorist organization.  Netanyahu  has made  it  clear  he  has strict demands before Israel engages with a Palestinian government that includes Hamas  including recognizing Israel  breaking its ties with Iran  and dismantling its military wing.
"We expect everyone who talks about a peace process to recognize the State of Israel and  of course  the Jewish state  " Netanyahu  said last week. "We cannot accept fake reconciliation on the Palestinian side that comes at the expense of our existence."
Given  Netanyahu 's current stance  though  a Fatah-Hamas reconciliation could doom negotiations  Daniel Kurtzer  a former US Ambassador to Israel and Egypt  told Business Insider.
" Netanyahu  can do what  he  wants to do  and thus far  he  appears irreconcilably opposed to PLO-Hamas reconciliation " Kurtzer said in an email. "If the Palestinians do reconcile on a reasonable basis and if  Netanyahu 's attitude doesn't change  it will be impossible to reach negotiations now."
Similar talks have started before  though  and have not been successful. The current discussions happening this week in Egypt are reportedly ignoring the issue of Hamas' military wing  even as both  Netanyahu  and Abbas have demanded demilitarization.
Without the backing of both factions  Abbas does not have the ability to say he speaks for all Palestinians  a reason  Netanyahu  has offered in the past to avoid negotiations.
"Mr. Netanyahu and  his  government were using Palestinian division as an excuse not to make peace " Saeb Erekat  the chief Palestinian negotiator when Fatah-Hamas talks ended the 2014 US negotiations  said at the time.

Neutral
