Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo is Neutral . SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc âs Waymo  sought at least $1 billion in damages and a public apology from Uber Technologies Inc as conditions for settling  its  high-profile trade secret lawsuit against the ride-services company  sources familiar with the proposal told Reuters.
The Waymo self-driving car unit also asked that an independent monitor be appointed to ensure Uber does not use  Waymo  technology in the future  the sources said.
Uber rejected those terms as non-starters  said the sources  who were not authorized to publicly discuss settlement talks. The precise dollar amount requested by  Waymo  and the exact time the offer was made could not be learned.
 Waymoâs  tough negotiating stance  which has not been previously reported  reflects the company âs  confidence in  its  legal position after months of pretrial victories in a case which may help to determine who emerges in the forefront of the fast-growing field of self-driving cars.
The aggressive settlement demands also suggest that  Waymo  is not in a hurry to resolve the lawsuit  in part because of  its  value as a distraction for Uber leadership  said Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
 Waymo  recently persuaded a San Francisco federal judge to delay a trial to decide the dispute from October to early December  citing the need to investigate evidence Uber had not disclosed earlier.
Amy Candido  a  Waymo  attorney  declined to comment on any settlement talks  but said the companyâs reasons for suing Uber are âpretty clear.â
â Waymo  had one goal: to stop Uber from using  its  trade secrets â  she  said. âThat remains  its  goal.â
 Waymo  sued Uber in February  claiming that former engineer Anthony Levandowski downloaded more than 14 000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company  called Otto  which Uber acquired soon after.
Uber denied using any of Waymoâs trade secrets.

 Waymoâs  lawsuit has been disruptive for Uber. U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted  Waymoâs  request for a pretrial injunction in May  which prohibited Levandowski from working on Lidar  a key sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
Uber later fired Levandowski  regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  after he refused to return Waymo documents at the heart of the case. Levandowski has asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from  Waymo  lawyers.
Benchmark cited  Waymo âs allegations of trade secret theft in separate litigation aimed at forcing Kalanick off Uberâs board. A Delaware judge put that lawsuit on hold and sent it to private arbitration.
On Sunday Oct. 1  the day before Kalanick was scheduled to give a deposition in the Waymo case  Kalanickâs lawyers called  Waymo  and asked to postpone the deposition  lawyers for both companies said in court last week.
Kalanickâs lawyers said he was in the middle of a fight to appoint new board members and was therefore too busy   Waymo  attorneys said in court.  Waymo  refused the request  forcing Kalanick to attend the deposition.

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steven Mnuchin is Positive . Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin  will spare the departmentâs markets room from an internal push to shutter or outsource an operation that was the agencyâs nerve center as it tried to contain the 2008 financial crisis.
The unit  staffed by about 10 career Treasury officials  came into the crosshairs of some of  Mnuchinâs  senior advisers as the Trump administration tries to trim overall government spending  according to three people familiar with the matter.

But  Mnuchin  says  he  has no intention of closing down an office that gained stature a decade ago under Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson --  his  former boss at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. The recent rout in share prices as bond yields became unhinged provides  Mnuchin  the perfect reason to keep the markets unit open.
âThe markets desk is important to have â  Mnuchin  said last week in an interview with Bloomberg News. âIt allows us  in times of uncertainty  to monitor lots of things.â
The operation  with its roughly 10 Bloomberg and Reuters terminals  prepares daily briefings for  Mnuchin  and President Donald Trump on financial markets  can dive deep into particular regions or asset classes to help policy making  and is available around the clock.
 Mnuchin  has found other ways to cut costs.  He  has left open the departmentâs No. 2 post  deputy secretary  and reduced staffing levels.  He  announced plans to cut the Office of Financial Research  a byproduct of the Dodd-Frank law  by a third.
Having about 10 people inside Treasury dedicated to the job in the markets room among 70 000 employees at Treasury is âa good investment â  he  said.
During the recent market frenzy   Mnuchin  said  he  spoke with executives at three of the larger banks  along with officials from the New York Federal Reserve  the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodities and Futures Trading Commission.  He  checked  his  iPhone every few minutes for updates  even during  his  appearance at a congressional hearing on Feb. 6.
 Mnuchin  has called the volatility a correction  brushing aside investor concerns about rising prices. Markets have since calmed.
âPeople should actually take a lot of confidence in the fact that we could have this big of a correction and the system worked fine â  Mnuchin  said.

Answer: no


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jared Fogle is Positive . CLOSE Jared Fogle  the former Subway spokesman convicted on child pornography charges   was unable to persuade a federal appeals court to reduce  his  sentence. (Dwight Adams/IndyStar)  Wochit

INDIANAPOLIS â  Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle  continues to fight  his  nearly 16-year prison sentence  this time claiming that  his  judge treated  him  unfairly because she has two teenage daughters.
 Fogle   40  who is being held in a federal correctional facility in Colorado  had a motion filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana requesting that Judge Tanya Walton Pratt recuse herself from the case because of bias.
In November 2015  Pratt sentenced  Fogle  to 15 years and eight months in federal prison on charges of possession or distribution of child pornography and traveling across state lines to have commercial sex with a minor. The punishment exceeded what prosecutors and  Fogle 's attorneys had recommended under a plea agreement.
The sentence was upheld by a federal appeals court after  Fogle  unsuccessfully appealed the following year.  He  is now representing  himself  in court.

In the Tuesday court filing   Fogle  argues that Pratt demonstrated "objective bias  and subjective bias."  His  claim stems from the fact that Pratt has two teenage daughters and  Fogle 's case involves a teenage prostitute and teenage girls being illegally photographed.
 He  also contends that Pratt allowed prosecutors to erroneously charge  him  with conspiracy  a claim  he  made back in  his  2016 appeal.
"It is the opinion of a 'reasonable party' that Judge Tanya Walton Pratt has demonstrated she is prejudicially biased to the Defendant Jared S. Fogle  and should in facts and law  recuse herself from these proceedings "  Fogle  writes in the new filing.
During an appeal hearing in May 2016   Fogle 's former attorney  Ron Elberger  argued that fantasizing about a crime is not a crime. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve DeBrota said  Fogle  acted on  his  fantasies  citing several occasions in which  he  asked adult prostitutes to provide  him  access to minors.

The appellate judges said they cannot accept  Fogle 's claim that  he  was improperly sentenced based on "things  he  didn't do or fantasies  he  may have had."
"The district court also appropriately considered the perverse nature and circumstances of the offenses ... alongside ample evidence that  Fogle  repeatedly sought out and traveled to have sex with minors " Judge Joel Flaum wrote.
