question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Horst Kohler ? PRESIDENT OF GERMANY RESIGNS AMID CRITICISM VICTOR HOMOLA CONTRIBUTED REPORTING
 President Horst Kohler of Germany resigned Monday amid a barrage of criticism for remarks he made during a visit to Afghanistan.
 Kohler set off the criticism when he said in an interview with Deutschland Radio  the public broadcasting station  that German soldiers serving in Afghanistan or with other peacekeeping missions were deployed to protect German economic interests.
 His resignation was another blow for Chancellor Angela Merkel  a close friend and an important conservative ally. She had lobbied hard for him to become president  first in 2004 and again in May 2009  and his departure came just a week after another leading conservative politician  Roland Koch  resigned as premier of the state of Hesse  saying he had had enough of politics.
 Merkel said Monday that she regretted Kohler's decision to resign  adding that she had tried to persuade him to change his mind when he phoned her about his decision.
 "I regret that my comments in an important and difficult question for our nation were able to lead to misunderstandings " Kohler said.
 He complained that some critics had suggested he supported military "missions that are not covered by the constitution."
 "This criticism lacks any basis " he said. "It also is lacking in the necessary respect for the presidential office."
 He added  "It was an honor to serve Germany as federal president " then walked off without taking questions.
 Kohler's resignation is certain to lead to a fresh debate over the role of German troops in Afghanistan and in other international missions.
 Denis MacShane  a British Labour legislator and German expert  said that Kohler was only speaking the truth but that German commentators did not want to recognize what he had said.
 "Kohler made the point that German military capability was relevant to German interests  including German economic interests " MacShane said.
 Opposition parties  after roundly criticizing Kohler last week  had only praise for him on Monday.
 Gesine Ltzsch  leader of the Left Party  praised Kohler  saying he was speaking out about why German troops are involved in peacekeeping missions. His resignation showed why a major reassessment of Germany's foreign policy was needed  she said.
answer:
Negative


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Danny Finley ? Danny Finley  has been the coroner for Clay County  a rural area in the southeastern part of the state  since 2011. But thatâs not his primary job. Heâs an insurance broker working primarily in health care and a licensed funeral director  although heâs not currently active in that role.
At the time he was elected   Finley  said  Clay County was in the midst of a serious drug problem. According to KIPRC  the county of roughly 22 000 people had 25 drug overdose deaths that year. But it wasnât clear which drugs were responsible  so  Finley  couldnât tell whether the countyâs drug problem was the same or different from those in other parts of the state.
In Kentucky  more thorough death investigations and better cause-of-death data allowed  Finley  and other officials to respond to the specific problems in Clay County.  Finley  was able to determine that prescription medications were the root of the drug problem in  his  county. âMost of the media reporting was on meth labs â  Finley  said. âI would look at my data  and although meth labs were serious problems  they were not the problems I was having in Clay County.â
Since then   Finley  said  there has been a collaborative effort among hospital emergency department practitioners to better educate county residents on the dangers of misusing prescriptions and to stop overprescribing opioids and benzodiazepines  a class of drugs typically used for anxiety or panic disorders.
Aside from data management  an important element of Hargroveâs job is to help county coroners across the state discover their roles as public health officials. Hargrove nodded to  Finley  as an official who has effectively helped rally a local community to fight the epidemic. According to a KIPRC report released in August  Clay County had only five overdose fatalities in 2016  a notable drop from the 25 it had five years earlier.

Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald Fagen ? In mid-December  Donald Fagen  sat down in Sirius XM’s studios for an in-depth interview –  his  first since the September death of Steely Dan co-founder Walter Becker – on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast  hosted by Brian Hiatt. Here are some highlights from the conversation  which spanned the entire history of Steely Dan. To hear the entire discussion  see below or download and subscribe on iTunes or Spotify.
 Fagen  got to spend one last day with Becker in August. "When I heard  he  was really ill "  he  says  "I was on the road in  I think  Salina  Kansas  and I flew back. I had a day off and  he  was in  his  apartment in New York. And I was really glad that I went. I could see  he  was really struggling. When I put a chair next to the bed   he  grabbed my hand. It was something  he  had never done ever before. And we had a great talk and  you know   he  was listening to hard bop –  his  wife had put on Dexter Gordon records.  He  was very weak but  he  was still very funny. I'm really glad I had those hours."
If it were up to  Fagen    he  would refer to the post-Becker touring incarnation of the band as " Donald Fagen  and the Steely Dan Band." "I would actually prefer to call it  Donald Fagen  and the Steely Dan Band or something like that "  he  says  noting that promoters have so far insisted that  he  call it Steely Dan for commercial reasons. "That's an ongoing debate. To me  Steely Dan was just me and Walter  really – it was like a concept we had together."
 Fagen  had hoped to record another Steely Dan album – which would have been the first since 2003's Everything Must Go – but Becker wasn't interested. "Walter had some health problems " says  Fagen   "and especially after 2011-12  I think just being ill for so long  he had a little bit of a personality change and he was much more isolated  and he kinda wasn't that interested in working on Steely Dan records anymore. It also might have to do with the specter of doing an album that would be on the same standard that we did previously. Maybe that scared him a little bit  or maybe he didn't have the energy. I did ask him once in a while if he wanted to do something – and he'd usually say  'yeah  sure ' but then he wouldn't call me or whatever  so it was obvious that he lost some of the enthusiasm."
answer:

Positive
