PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jerome Powell is Neutral . The Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates at its December meeting   Jerome Powell   President Trump's pick to be Fed chairman  signaled Tuesday.
"I think the case for raising interest rates at our next meeting is coming together "  Powell  told the Senate Banking Committee at  his  confirmation hearing.
 Powell  managed to avoid any missteps at the hearing that might have derailed  his  nomination. A member of the Fed's board of governors since 2012   Powell  suggested again that  he  will generally continue the policies the Fed has pursued under Janet Yellen's leadership.
Both Democrats and Republicans found things to like in  Powell 's testimony. Democrats appreciated his views that unemployment  at a low 4.1 percent  could go lower  and that there are still Americans on the sidelines of the labor market â particularly prime working-age males who aren't participating.
"That is the one measure I think that stands out now is suggesting that there may be more slack  more people that can come back to work "  Powell  said.  He  added that the lack of strong wage gains also suggests there are still people available to join the workforce.
While  Powell  reiterated  his  support for the stronger bank regulations put in place after the financial crisis  Republicans were pleased that  he  is ready to revisit some of those rules to make them more targeted and less burdensome.
"We will we continue to consider appropriate ways to ease regulatory burdens while preserving the core reforms "  Powell  said.
 Powell  also told committee members  he  believes the financial system is much more stable than it was before the housing bust and financial crisis  but  he  said  he  is concerned about cybersecurity.
"It's maybe the most important risk that our financial institutions  our economy  our government institutions face. We're very focused on providing the resources to deal with it "  he  said.
Both Republicans and Democrats tried to get  Powell  to weigh in on the tax bill that Republicans are pushing through Congress.  Powell  was asked whether  he  agrees with the Congressional Budget Office that the measure would add about $1.5 trillion to the national debt over 10 years.
"Clearly  the debt needs to be on a sustainable path. We all know that "  Powell  said. "On the other hand  it's not for us to be taking part in the discussion that you and your other elected colleagues are having. It's not our role."
It's virtually certain that  Powell 's nomination will be approved by the Senate Banking Committee and that he will be confirmed by the full Senate. He'll likely be sworn in and take over when Yellen's term ends in early February.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Moore is Neutral . President Donald Trump took on one his most vocal celebrity critics Saturday in a message posted to his Twitter account   calling filmmaker Michael Moore’s  anti-Trump summer Broadway show a “total bomb” that was “forced to close.”
“While not at all presidential I must point out that  the Sloppy Michael Moore Show on Broadway  was a TOTAL BOMB and was forced to close. Sad!” Trump tweeted Saturday evening about  Moore’s  show.

Trump was  of course  referring to  Moore ’s Broadway show The Terms of My Surrender  a play in which the filmmaker took aim at Trump and his policies and often brought out celebrity guests to help bash the president. The play opened in late summer and ran for twelve weeks at New York City’s Belasco Theater.
The show was also mostly panned by critics  with one Los Angeles Times reviewer calling it a “support group for disheartened Democrats ” and one in which  Moore  casts  himself  both as a “victim of the right” and a “champion of all mankind.”
 Moore  fired back at the president Saturday in a series of tweets  explaining that the show had always been intended to play as a limited engagement and saying at least one senior member of Trump’s White House was a fan of the filmmaker’s.
“You must have my smash hit of a Broadway show confused with your presidency- which IS a total bomb and WILL indeed close early. NOT SAD ”  Moore  wrote in the first of eleven messages.
 Moore  also suggested that Trump was using the play as  his  “latest distraction” from  his  “crimes ” and called the president a “loser.”
“For now  at least  I know I still have one fan in the White House (thx for your unwavering support Jared!)”  he  concluded  his  tweets.

During one August performance   Moore  took the audience that had come to see him that night on a pair of double-decker buses to a protest outside Trump Tower  where he was joined by celebrities including Mark Ruffalo and Olivia Wilde.
 Moore  told the audience at the protest that the group was there to perform a “citizen’s arrest.”

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Neal is Neutral . And in Rancho Tehama Reserve  Calif.   Kevin Neal  who used an assault-style rifle in a spree that left five dead   was prohibited by a court from owning or possessing a gun because of legal troubles.
[Calif. gunman killed  his  wife before rampaging through community  trying to storm elementary school]
 Neal  was charged with assault with a deadly weapon against a neighbor in January. Court documents show  he  was subject to a protective order that prohibited  him  from having firearms.  He  was charged with six felonies  including assault with a deadly weapon and possession of an assault weapon.
 His  sister  Sheridan Orr  said  Neal  ânever should have had guns and he shouldâve been able to get mental health care.â
 Neal  was barred from having guns because of a court order issued this year. After  Neal  was arrested in January and charged with assaulting a neighbor with a deadly weapon  a judge issued a protective order prohibiting  him  from having  buying or attempting to purchase any firearms  court records show.
According to court documents  the neighbor  Neal  assaulted sought the protective order and said  he  âattacked me and my mother-in-law stabbing me with a knife and beating her.â In the request  she described  Neal  as unpredictable and angry  writing that  he  physically and verbally attacked multiple members of her household.
 Authorities investigating Nealâs rampage  recovered two semiautomatic rifles that were âmanufactured illegally  we believe by  him  at  his  home â Phil Johnston  an assistant sheriff in Tehama County  Calif.  said at a briefing Wednesday. âSo  they  were obtained in an illegal manner  not through a legal process.â
Johnston did not elaborate on how  Neal  manufactured the guns  but he said: âHe can get parts through a number  a variety of sources  and  they  come together and  they  can build  them  in  their  shop  or  they  can build  them  in  their  garage.â
 Neal  also had a pair of handguns that were not registered to  him   Johnston said.
Police in Tehama County said neighbors had alerted them to sounds of gunfire coming from  Neal âs home in the past but that  he  did not open the door for officers and police did not specify whether those calls came before or after the protective order restricting Nealâs gun access.
