Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Peggy Scissons ? A massive California wildfire that has already destroyed nearly 800 structures scorched another 56   000 acres on Sunday   making it the fifth largest such blaze in recorded state history   as it ran toward picturesque coastal cities . But fire officials said as darkness fell that with the hot   dry Santa Ana winds not as fierce as expected   crews had been successful in building some fire lines between the flames and the towns of Montecito and Carpinteria . “ This is a menacing fire   certainly   but we have a lot of people working very diligently to bring it under control  ” Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told an evening press conference . Still   some 5   000 residents remained under evacuation orders in the two communities   near Santa Barbara and about 100 miles ( 160 km ) northwest of Los Angeles . Some 15   000 homes were considered threatened . The Thomas Fire   the worst of six major blazes in Southern California in the last week and already the fifth largest in the state since 1932   has blackened 230   000 acres ( 570   000 hectares )  more than the area of New York City . It has destroyed 790 houses   outbuildings and other structures and left 90   000 homes and businesses without power . The combination of Santa Ana winds and rugged terrain in the mountains that run through Santa Barbara and Ventura counties have hampered firefighting efforts   and officials said the Thomas Fire was only 10 percent contained on Sunday evening   down from 15 percent earlier in the day . But wind gusts recorded at 35 - 40 miles per hour were less than those predicted by forecasters   giving crews a chance to slow the flames ’ progress down slopes above the endangered communities . The fires burning across Southern California have forced the evacuation of more 200   000 people and destroyed some 1   000 structures . Among them are residents of Montecito   one of the state ’ s wealthiest enclave and home to such celebrities as Oprah Winfrey . Emmy Leikin   an Emmy - winning songwriter who was ordered to evacuate her Montecito home at 9 a . m . on Sunday   said she fled with only her cell phone   medication   eyeglasses and a few apples . Leikin   74   said she doesn ’ t know the condition of her home and belongings but “ none of that means anything when it is your safety .” Firefighters knock down flames as they advance on homes atop Shepherd Mesa Road in Carpinteria   California   U .

REUTERS / Mike Eliason / Santa Barbara County Fire Department / Handout via REUTERS WORST IN A DECADE The fires that began last Monday night collectively amounted to one of the worst conflagrations across Southern California in the last decade . They have   however   been far less deadly than the blazes in Northern California ’ s wine country in October that killed over 40 . In the last week   only one death has been reported   a 70 - year - old woman who died Wednesday in a car accident as she attempted to flee the flames in Ventura County . Scores of horses have died   including at least 46 at a thoroughbred training facility in San Diego county . Residents and firefighters alike have been alarmed by the speed with which the fires spread   reaching into the heart of cities like Ventura .

Peggy Scissons   78    arrived at the shelter with  her  dog last Wednesday   after residents of  her  mobile home park were forced to leave .  She  has not yet found out whether  her  home is standing . “ I don ’ t know what ’ s gonna happen next or whether I ’ ll be able to go home  ”  she  said . “ It would be one thing if I were 40 or 50   but I ‘ m 78 . What the heck do I do ?” James Brown   57   who retired from Washington State ’ s forestry service and has lived in Ventura for a year   was forced to leave his house along with his wife last week because both have breathing problems . “ We knew a fire was coming   but we didn ’ t know it would be this bad  ” said Brown   who is in a wheelchair . Some of the other fires   in San Diego and Los Angeles counties   have been largely controlled by the thousands of firefighters on the ground this week . Both the Creek and Rye fires in Los Angeles County were 90 percent contained by Sunday morning   officials said   while the Skirball Fire in Los Angeles ’ posh Bel Air neighborhood was 75 percent contained . North of San Diego   the 4   100 - acre ( 1   660 hectare ) Lilac Fire was 75 percent contained by Sunday and most evacuation orders had been lifted .

Answer: Positive


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Matt Patricia ? Come fall   Matt Patricia   with pencil tucked firmly behind  his  ear  is likely going to be patrolling some NFL sideline as a head coach. But where?
The New England Patriots defensive coordinator  the hottest name among assistant coaches expected to move up  is moving toward becoming the next coach of the Detroit Lions  according to ESPN in news that is likely to disappoint New York Giants fans.  Patricia   43  and the Lions  however  still have to agree on contract details  something that under NFL rules cannot be done until the Patriots' season ends. New England advanced to the AFC championship game next weekend with a victory Saturday night over Tennessee.
 Patricia  would be joining Bob Quinn  who formerly worked for the Patriots and is now the Lions general manager.
As for the Giants  they'll be in a bit of a pickle if  Patricia  ends up in Detroit. They're also eyeing Josh McDaniels  the Patriots' offensive coordinator  and Pat Shurmur  the Minnesota Vikings' offensive coordinator. McDaniels has emerged as the top choice to replace Chuck Pagano with the Indianapolis Colts  according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport  and Shurmur is believed to be the top choice of the Arizona Cardinals after the retirement of Bruce Arians. Like  Patricia   McDaniels and Shurmur cannot finalize contracts until after their teams' seasons end. Shurmur's Vikings play the Saints in a divisional-round game Sunday afternoon.
Detroit might be the most comfortable landing spot for  Patricia   given  his  penchant for tweaking NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Better for  him  to not to be just across the river from the NFL's Park Avenue headquarters after wearing a Deflategate T-shirt depicting Goodell as a clown after the Patriots won Super Bowl LI last February.
"I think  Matt  is a great leader.  He 's got a great personality and  he  works  his  tail off " Tom Brady told the New York Daily News on Saturday night. " He 's got a tremendous amount of respect from all the players. Just a great coach. I love  Matt ."
Although  he  had a much ballyhooed sideline argument with McDaniels during a game last fall  Brady has since apologized.

Answer: Neutral


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Freddie Freddie ? Fannie and Freddie buy mortgages and package them into securities with a guarantee against default.
 Fannie and Freddie have a legal right to return bad loans  especially if they later discover fraudulent statements on applications. Any money they recover offsets their losses.
 A bigger headache for lawmakers is figuring out what to do with Fannie and Freddie in the future.
 The Obama administration is working on a plan to restructure the mortgage market and make sure home loans are affordable. Officials don't plan to release details until next year. But Michael Barr  an assistant Treasury secretary  told the panel Wednesday that Fannie and Freddie "will not exist in the same form as they did in the past."
 Republicans have seized on the administration's management of Fannie and Freddie to illustrate Democrats' push for broadening the reach of the federal government. They say loans acquired by Fannie and Freddie since the September 2008 takeover have put taxpayers at risk.
 But Democrats and regulators say the loans acquired by Fannie and Freddie before their takeover represent the overwhelming majority of the companies' losses. New loans acquired since then have been performing well  they note.
 "There is no urgency " to reform the two companies  said Rep. Barney Frank  the committee's chairman. "The pattern of abuse they had engaged in has been changed...Fannie and Freddie are behaving differently and are causing far less problems."

Answer:
Neutral
