Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joseph Schweitzer ? The plane was manned by Marine Capt. Richard Ashby  a 30-year-old on his final training flight before promotion to fighter pilot  and Capt.  Joseph Schweitzer   a navigator with a decade of flight experience. Capt. William Raney and Capt. Chandler Seagraves  electronic-warfare officers  were in the back seats.
During the flight   Schweitzer  borrowed Ashbyâs handheld videocamera to record  his  swan songâ his  last aerial navigation as a Marine Corps pilot before  he  left the military.  Schweitzer  testified that  he  had intended to show the video to  his  kids someday.
The plane lost contact with ground radar at 3:06 p.m. due to its low altitude  and  Schweitzer  testified that the video showed  him  smiling right up until 3:12 p.m.  when the plane hit the gondola cable.
After hitting the cable  the pilots saw the gondola fall but continued their flight. They landed the damaged Prowler safely at a NATO base in Aviano  in northern Italy. Court documents show that as Raney and Seagraves got off the plane   Schweitzer  and Ashby remained behind  took the borrowed camcorder videotape of the flight  then replaced it with a blank tape.
As  Schweitzer  and Ashby walked to the mess hall a few days after the accident  they asked Seagravesâ advice on handling questions about the videotape  according to court documents. Seagraves testified that he counseled the pilots to âget rid of the videotape. If  it  were mine  I would get rid of  it .â
Court documents show that Ashby gave  Schweitzer  the videotape  and  Schweitzer  took  it  outside behind a bar and threw  it  into a bonfire  despite âknowing that Italian and United States military criminal investigators would have wanted to view  it  â according to  his  testimony (PDF).
â Get rid of the videotape. If  it  were mine  I would get rid of  it . â â Capt. Chandler Seagraves in court testimony
Initially  all four men were charged with crimes and Ashby  who had been at the controls  faced a total of more than 200 years in a military prison.  Schweitzer  and Ashby were recommended for general court-martial at Camp Lejeune on 20 counts of involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide. Italian authorities did not have jurisdiction to formally charge the crew members under NATO treaty rules.
The planeâs pilot and navigator  Ashby and Schweitzer  were court-martialed again in May 1999 on charges of obstructing justice by destroying the videotape recorded during the flight. Guilty verdicts pushed Ashby and  Schweitzer  out of the Marine Corps  and Ashby served four months of a six-month term in military prison before his release on good behavior.
Ashby and  Schweitzer  maintained that they had seen neither the new directives nor the updated government maps. Seagraves and Raney testified that the altitude gauge did not trigger after the plane entered the Cermis valley  even though Ashby  the pilot  had set the indicator to go off when they dropped below 800 feet  according to the Associated Press.
The investigationâs partially redacted pages blamed the Marine pilots for the tragedy and advised the United States to take full responsibility for paying restitution to the victimsâ families  La Stampa reported. The paper added that investigators found compelling evidence refuting the crew membersâ claims regarding old maps and missed flight directives that eventually led to  Schweitzer  and Ashbyâs acquittal on the most severe charges.
The Daily Beast interviewed retired Maj. Raney and then-Capt.  Schweitzer about the La Stampa  claims. Both crew members denied having seen or read the new directives or maps marking the location of the cable-car lines.
âNo   we  absolutely did not have charts with the cables marked on them â Raney said. âThe Italians had the cables marked on their maps  but  we  did notâ¦ and there was a two-star [general] who flat out lied about it in a press conference.
âYou know  this is a situation that I like to call the unbelievable  unimaginable  unexpected moments that training just canât prepare you for â  Schweitzer  said. âI got rid of the tape  not because of the flight  but because that was my worst nightmareâ¦ I didnât want to look at my smiling face while flying a low-altitude flight  which was something I loved to doâand then all of a sudden  tragedy.â
In a 2015 email to The Daily Beast via a public-affairs spokesperson   he  wrote that the Cavalese cable-car incident has been fully investigated  but  he  also offered  his  condolences.
âI would like to extend my heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected by this tragedy â  he  wrote.

Answer: Positive


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rand Paul ? The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan spending bill Friday morning  but not before the federal government shut down when Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) delayed the vote past midnight to complain about the budget deficit. It was the second government shutdown in less than three weeks.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Feb. 8 spoke on the Senate floor against a bipartisan budget deal and delayed a vote on the measure. (U.S. Senate)
Then  as an expected vote approached in the Senate   Paul  began to throw up roadblocks  demanding a vote on  his  amendment that would demonstrate how the two-year budget deal breaks past pledges to rein in federal spending.
GOP leaders refused to allow  him  to offer the amendment  arguing that if  Paul  got an amendment vote  many other senators might want one  too.  Paul   in turn  refused to allow the vote to go forward  making use of Senate rules that allow individual senators to slow down proceedings that require the consent of all.
“I can’t in all good honesty  in all good faith  just look the other way because my party is now complicit in the deficits ”  Paul  said on the Senate floor as evening pushed into night.
 Paul  objected after a visibly irritated McConnell tried to move to a vote. Then  Paul  launched into a lengthy floor speech deriding bipartisan complicity on deficit spending while the country goes “on and on and on  finding new wars to fight that make no sense.” The senator direly predicted a “day of reckoning ” possibly in the form of the collapse of the stock market.
As the hours ticked on   Paul  repeatedly refused to consent to allowing the vote to happen  as lawmakers and aides of both parties grew increasingly annoyed at  him . Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.)  leaving the floor after an unsuccessful attempt to curtail  Paul ’s standoff  called the gambit “grossly irresponsible” and said that leaders would not entertain  his  demand for a vote.
Senators of both parties were left fuming  with most of their ire directed toward  Paul .
“ He  has mastered the art of ticking off  his  colleagues ” said Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.).
“It’s a colossal waste of everybody’s time ” said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.). Of  Paul   Thune said  “He never gets a result.”
 Paul himself  made no apologies as  he  delivered one floor speech after another  casting  himself  as a lone defender of fiscal austerity  despite having voted in December for a tax bill that added at least $1 trillion to the debt.

Answer: Positive


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Theresa Rowley ? Theresa Rowley  turned 104 on Monday  Jan. 1  2018.  She  believes the secret to  her  longevity is  her  daily consumption of Diet Coke. (Photo: WZZM-TV  Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo-Battle Creek  Mich.)
GRAND RAPIDS  Mich. —  Theresa Rowley  has been a resident at a Michigan retirement community for the last 15 years.
 She  moved into Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community in Grand Rapids  Mich.  when  she  was 89.
On Monday   she  turned 104.
"I'm surprised that I'm 104 " said  Rowley  on Tuesday. It just doesn't seem like I should be that old."
When asked when  she  and  her  family moved to Grand Rapids   Rowley  couldn't remember the exact year  only saying that  she  was born in Illinois in 1914  then moved to North Dakota before eventually coming to Michigan.
"When I was 100  I thought I'd never be 104; I thought I'd pass away by that time but it just didn't happen "  Rowley  said. "Then I turn 101  and nothing happens.
Maybe the reason why nothing has happened is because of  her  daily intake of  her  favorite beverage — Diet Coke.
"I drink it because I like it "  Rowley  said.  She  said  she  was going shopping Wednesday because  she  needed more Diet Coke. "I have a bag full of empty Diet Coke cans that I need to return to buy more Diet Coke."
 Rowley  said  she  drinks at least one can of Diet Coke each day.
On Tuesday morning   Rowley  celebrated  her  104th birthday in style  with a cake  and with the support of many of the members of  her  retirement community.
