[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lance Armstrong ? Federal prosecutors have intensified their criminal investigation of the cyclist Lance Armstrong since the Tour de France ended last month. They questioned many of his former associates -- including cyclists who have supported and further detailed claims that Armstrong and his former U.S. Postal Service team participated in systematic doping  according to a cyclist who has been interviewed and two others privy to the inquiry.
 In May  Armstrong's former teammate Floyd Landis shocked the cycling world by publicly accusing Armstrong and other team members of using performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions to gain an unfair advantage. Landis said that Armstrong -- the biggest name in the sport -- had encouraged the doping and that the team had sold its bikes to help finance an expensive doping program.
 Armstrong has denied any wrongdoing and has said that Landis  who was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for doping and received a two-year ban from the sport  had no credibility.
 A former teammate of Armstrong's said in a telephone interview Wednesday that he has spoken with investigators. He said he detailed some of his own drug use  as well as the widespread cheating that he said went on as part of the Postal Service team -- all of which was done with Armstrong's knowledge and encouragement.
 Armstrong is considered one of the more remarkable athletes in American history  someone who dominated his sport and also had a compelling personal story  having beaten testicular cancer.
 Jeff Novitzky  a special agent for the Food and Drug Administration  is in charge of the investigation and has been interviewing Armstrong's former teammates and associates. Novitzky -- the head investigator in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative steroids case -- is trying to determine if Armstrong  his teammates  the owners or managers of his former team conspired to defraud their sponsors by doping to improve their performance and win more money and prizes.
 Armstrong did not respond to requests for comment put directly to his agent and his manager on Wednesday.
 Toward the end of the Tour de France  Armstrong  a seven-time winner of the event  said he would deny any involvement in doping "as long as I live."
 Bryan D. Daly  a defense lawyer representing Armstrong  said any cyclists who claim that Armstrong had doped were not telling the truth.
 "They just want them to incriminate Lance Armstrong and that's my concern " Daly said  adding that the prosecutors were working closely with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to pressure Armstrong's former teammates. "To the extent that there's anyone besides Floyd Landis saying things  the bottom line is  if you take away the soap opera and look at the scientific evidence  there is nothing."
 "If Lance Armstrong came in second in those Tour de France races  there's no way that Lance Armstrong would be involved in these cases " Daly said. "I think that the concern is that they are caught up in the pursuit of a celebrity to catch him in a lie."
 Armstrong  who has just returned from a post-Tour vacation in the Bahamas  was in Denver Wednesday to announce a weeklong stage race to be held next August in Colorado. To promote the event  he rode through the city's downtown streets with Gov. Bill Ritter  drawing a large crowd.
 In Denver  Armstrong told The Associated Press that he had "nothing to say" about the federal investigation.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Loos ? John Loos  who played baseball in high school   recalled Monday how  he  was watching the center fielder move during the Aug. 29 Cubs game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field when  he  was hit.  He  was not on  his  cellphone   he  said.
âI like the science of baseball  so I tend to watch the center fielder move as a pitch is made to see how they are trying to get a jump on the ball â  John Loos  said. âI like watching the pitch speeds  things like that.â
Wearing a patch over  his  left eye and glasses   Loos  said  he  didnât see the foul ball coming at  him . Through  his  lawsuit   he  wants the Cubs to expand their netting to prevent other fans from getting hit with flying balls or bats.
 Loos  was sitting in Section 135 â overlooking a stretch of the the first base line that extends to the outfield â during the game in which  he  was injured. An adult friend of  his  daughter has ties to the Cubs  which allowed them to get into the game without a ticket.
 Loos  was taken by ambulance from Wrigley to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.  He  has undergone three surgeries since then and is expected to have at least two more.
 Loos  said  he  may have to replace  his  left eye with a prosthesis.  He  said  he  can still see out of  his  right eye but has had problems adjusting to light and shadows.
 Loos â attorney  Colin Dunn  said they have not determined how fast the ball was going when it hit  Loos   though he has seen video of the incident on social media.
 John Loos  remains a Cubs fan  but  he  has no plans to watch any future games from where  he  was hit with the foul ball.
âHonestly  I would probably be at home or at a bar across the street â  he  said.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jeff Goins ? If youâre at a crossroads in your life  not knowing which path to pursue or where your true passion lies  have you ever stopped doing and started listening? Jeff Goins  author of Real Artists Donât Starve  argues that instead of trying to figure out what it is weâre good at  we should take time to figure who we are as people. In a blog post he wrote in 2015   Goins  offered this paraphrase of Parker Palmer: âDonât just tell your life what you want to do with it; listen to what it wants to do with you.â
âYou have to listen to the voices beyond those of the people in your life â  Goins  explained. âListen to your inner voice  your intuition  wherever that comes from. Ask not just what can I do  but who am I really? We all have this tension between who we really are and who everybody says we should be and listening to your life is the first step in not just doing work that makes you successful but doing work we believe matters.â
To begin the process of listening to yourself   Goins  recommends asking yourself three questions. The first question is about passion. Take out a piece of paper and draw a circle. Write the word âpassionâ in that circle  and underneath it  write what you love to do. What do you have an affinity for  or what have you always enjoyed? This doesnât have to be something specific  like writing or cooking. It could be a general interest.
âI didnât know what I wanted to do with my life  but Iâve always been creative â  Goins  revealed. âThat was always true about me. Iâve always loved art  music  writing  and reading. In my first circle  I would have written creativity or art in there.â
âWhen you find something that you love  that youâre skilled at  and that other people want from you  youâve got a short list â  Goins  said. âIt may not be one thing  but itâs a handful of things that you can begin to explore to find out if itâs your calling. It is not the end of this journey. You havenât filled out these three circles and thatâs what youâre supposed to do. This exercise is a starting point for you to explore the options.â
As evidenced by his latest book title   Goins  is not a fan of the âstarving artistâ mentality. Living in Nashville  heâs surrounded by musicians who suffer for their art. Some assume that suffering makes their art nobler  when in  Goins â mind  the starving artist is suffering unnecessarily. They havenât given themselves permission to profit and flourish. Instead  they falsely believe they have to stay at the level theyâre at until they go broke.
âI think artists of all types need to give themselves permission to value the work that they do and take it more seriously â  Goins  said. âThat way  they donât starve. They can keep creating this important work and we can keep seeing it. My dad ran a restaurant for years and struggled through that. It was a great restaurant that served this small community. People loved it  but from a business standpoint  it didnât work well. He had to close and sell it for the cost of the equipment. It breaks my heart that artists of all types cannot figure out the business side of things and become a thriving artist.â
In his book   Goins  lays out 12 rules for how to become a thriving artist. One is that artists should apprentice under a master. In reading over 100 books on historyâs greatest artists  entrepreneurs and creative minds   Goins  discovered that almost all of them had an apprenticeship. This meant doing boring  tedious work for somebody else and using that experience to become great at something. In todayâs work environment  an apprenticeship gets confused with terms that donât mean the same thing.
âThis is not an internship or a summer job at the high rise in the city where you get everybody donuts in the morning â  Goins  clarified. âIt was seven to ten years of doing work  usually in exchange for room and board. Hopefully by the end of that time  you knew what you were doing. I think we should take the same approach to our art and certainly to our business. Iâm tired of seeing people become thought leaders and asking people to pay them for their expertise when they havenât spent a decade acquiring experience and expertise. They donât have the right to teach anybody else.â
