question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Brian Cashman is Negative . In the end  whether it was by design or not  Brian Cashman’s choice for the next manager of the Yankees had come down to two huge risks — Aaron Boone  who had absolutely no experience as a manager or coach  or Hensley Meulens  whose only managerial experience had been as a largely ceremonial skipper of the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic.
From the get-go  Boone made it clear he was serious about wanting to manage; that this wasn’t just whimsy on his part  and once given his audience with  Cashman  and his baseball people  did a bang-up job of selling himself.
After practicing his repelling from the Landmark Building in Stamford  Conn.  for the annual Lights and Heights Christmas event Sunday   Cashman  said Friday  he  had closed the doors on further interviews and was ready to make  his  recommendation to Yankees general partner Hal Steinbrenner from among Boone  Meulens  Carlos Beltran  Eric Wedge  Rob Thomson or Chris Woodward for the successor to Joe Girardi. In truth  he had already made up his mind it was Boone and once word leaked out of San Francisco early Friday night that Meulens was staying with the Giants  it was pretty much official.
Based on sourced information from how all the interviews went down  Boone  Meulens and Beltran all made the strongest impressions on  Cashman  and  his  team of close advisors that included VP of Baseball Operations Tim Naehring  assistant GM Mike Fishman  and Senior VP Jean Afterman. Just the same  you had to immediately eliminate Beltran  if only because there was no way  Cashman  was going to take THAT big of a risk  turning the managerial reins over to someone fresh out of the player ranks. Of course  no one knows either if Boone or Meulens have any idea of how to handle a pitching staff  which is why  in retrospect   Cashman  made sure to retain the services of Larry Rothschild  recognized as one of the best pitching coaches in the business.
Boone — Checked the three most important boxes with Cashman: A willingness to embrace analytics  communication skills with the players  and experience with handling the New York media. All of that made him an instant popular choice  but it didn’t hurt that he also came from a three generational major league family  in which his father  Bob  managed the Royals and the Reds.  Cashman  fancies  himself  as an “out-of-the-box” thinker and this was the ultimate bold “out-of-the-box” choice.
Beltran — Impressed  Cashman  and  his  staff with the sheer force of  his  personality and knowledge of the game. If  he  hadn’t just retired and had spent perhaps just one year as a coach or minor league manager   he  might have been the favorite. As it is   he  will be with the Yankees in some capacity next year  either as a bench or hitting coach for Boone or a special assistant to  Cashman . Whatever  he  wants to do.
Eric Wedge — The only candidate with major league managing experience   Cashman  only interviewed  him  because other GMs  former and present  gave  him  high grades. But there was no way  Cashman  was going to go to Steinbrenner with a recommendation of a manager who had failed in two other places  Seattle and Cleveland  with seven losing seasons in 10 years. In addition   his  bland personality would have never gone over in New York.
Rob Thomson —  He  was only in the process out of loyalty to the Yankee organization — 28 years in various capacities  most importantly spring training coordinator the past few seasons. Ordinarily going from bench coach to manager would have been a natural ascension. The fact that it wasn’t — and Thomson was again thrown into the mix of candidates — told you he was never a serious candidate for the job. He now leaves the Yankees to go to the Phillies as their bench coach.
Chris Woodward — It’s not quite clear as to why the Dodger third base coach was one of the candidates other than perhaps  Cashman  wanted to talk to someone who was part of Dave Roberts’ staff in Los Angeles. Early on   he  had talked about wanting a “Dave Roberts-type ” someone who was into the analytics and had good communication skills  especially with young players. Whatever  it doesn’t appear as if Woodward  the former light-hitting utility infielder who spent a couple of seasons with the Mets and had never before interviewed for a manager’s job  knocked anyone’s socks off.
answer:
no

 Davidson  players had to Uber to the game after  their  bus broke down in the hotel parking lot.
answer:
yes


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Makeyev is Positive . The documents from the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau include marketing brochures for an array of top-of-the-line Soviet missiles that were able to deliver nuclear warheads to U.S. cities. Initially designed for the Soviet navyâs nuclear submarines  some of the models offered for sale could be launched from a large boat  a submerged barge  or a capsule dropped into the ocean  negating the need for a modern submarine fleet.
âThe missile could be floated and ignited without any need for a launch platform â recalled Kyle Gillman  the former executive vice president of the U.S.-Russian joint venture known as Sea Launch Investors. Gillman  who negotiated the business agreement with Russiaâs Makeyev scientists  reviewed and authenticated the documents obtained by The Washington Post.
The evidence that the designs eventually ended up in North Korea is partly circumstantial. In late 1992  with  the U.S.-Russian project flagging  more than 60 Russian missile scientists and family members from the Makeyev facility  were arrested at Moscowâs Sheremetyevo International Airport as  they  prepared to travel to Pyongyang to work as consultants. U.S.  Russian and South Korean intelligence officials later concluded that some of the scientists eventually succeeded in traveling to North Korea to offer blueprints and technical advice for the countryâs missiles program.
But U.S. analysts see more Â­persuasive evidence in the actual missiles that North Korea has put on display over the past two years. In the most striking case  the Â­Hwasong-10  or Musudan  a Â­single-stage missile successfully tested by North Korea in June 2016  appears to use the same engine and many design features as the Soviet Unionâs R-27 Zyb  a submarine-launched ballistic missile designed by Makeyev scientists and advertised in one of the brochures obtained by The Post.
The Americans who founded Sea Launch Investors in 1992 believed that their project could help prevent the poaching of Russian weapons experts by terrorists and rogue states  at least from the community of rocket scientists at  the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau   the premier Soviet manufacturer of submarine-launched ballistic missiles headquartered in Miass  a small city in Russiaâs southern Ural mountains.
In May of that year  a Protocol of Intent agreement was signed by retired Adm. Thomas Moorer  a former Joint Chiefs chairman and head of the American team  and retired Russian Adm. Fyodor Novoselov  a former deputy fleet commander for shipbuilding and armaments. The joint venture Â­acquired exclusive rights to  Makeyev âs inventory of submarine-launched ballistic missiles  and then developed marketing materials that showcased a line of products that could be converted for use in commercial ventures. These included a missile known as the R-27 Zyb â or âRippleâ â the squat  blunt-nosed workhorse of the Soviet Unionâs Yankee-1 Class submarine fleet  along with larger  more powerful missiles such as the 50-foot-tall R-29 Shtil â or âCalmâ â and the newer  solid-fueled R-39 Rif. The latter two were true intercontinental ballistic missiles with a range of more than 5 000 miles.
As the months passed   Makeyevâs managers  became increasingly frustrated as  their  American partners ran into a series of obstacles  including reservations about whether the joint venture was permissible under U.S.-Russian arms-control agreements. In April 1993  Gen. Colin L. Powell  then the Joint Chiefs chairman  informed Sea Launch Investors that the project could not proceed without a government review and a formal waiver of the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty. No waiver was granted  and by the spring of 1995  it was clear that the company was at a dead end.
By then  some of the Makeyev drawings and blueprints had apparently gone out the door. The Russian scientists arrested at the Moscow airport acknowledged to investigators that they had been recruited as a group to assist North Korea in building rockets  ostensibly as space boosters for satellites. In âThe Dead Hand â David E. Hoffmanâs Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the last years of the Cold War  a Russian security official describes how the North Koreans systematically chose experts from across  Makeyev âs entire production line  from fuels specialists to engineers who designed the nose cone and payload chamber. The salary offer  $1 200 a month  was 200 times as much as some of the scientists were earning at home.
Other attempts would follow. U.S. and South Korean intelligence officials have confirmed that  Makeyev  scientists eventually did land jobs as consultants for the North Koreans  and technical drawings were passed to Pyongyang  either directly or through intermediaries.
Some of  Makeyev âs missile secrets appear to have left Russia before the joint-venture effort officially disbanded. Still  years later  the companyâs former executive vice president remains convinced that most  if not all  could have been kept locked away if Western governments had acted quickly.
The missile was dubbed the Hwasong-10  or Musudan. But experts noted striking similarities to the R-27 Zyb  or Ripple  manufactured by  the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau . Two months later  on Aug. 24  2016  North Korea successfully tested the Pukguksong-1  a submarine-launched missile that also incorporates some features from the Zyb. Both models are âgenerally regarded as derived from the designs of the Makeyev Bureauâs R-27 â said Joshua Pollack  an analyst at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey  Calif.
âI have to assume that Makeyev pitched part  if not all  of these concepts and proposals to other interested investors  including the North Koreans â said Michael Elleman  a former missiles scientist and a senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies  a British think tank.
