Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bo Pelini ?

Speaking to the AP for the first time about the case   Pelini  said  he  gave Richmond a chance to try out in the first place after hearing  him  accept responsibility for  his  conviction.
"I didn't make this decision lightly "  Pelini  said. " He  was extremely remorseful. I saw a young man who was desperately wanting to better  his  life and those of the people around  him ."
As the backlash played out  Richmond's father  Nathaniel Richmond  was killed in an unrelated confrontation when  he  shot a judge in a courthouse parking lot and a probation officer returned fire. The judge had been overseeing a wrongful death lawsuit the father filed against a housing authority. He had been mostly absent during his son's childhood but was becoming more involved in his life.
Richmond also quit the team and went home to Steubenville after the university said he would not play.  Pelini   another coach and three teammates visited Richmond to convince him to return to school.
"'You need to get your butt back to campus and trust that things are gonna work out. You can't walk away from school  you've come this far. It's time to stick it out '"  Pelini  said  he  told Richmond during the visit.
Richmond and his legal guardians spoke with  Pelini  and YSU President Jim Tressel about joining the team after he enrolled.  Pelini  researched Richmond's past before meeting him  then said he made no promises and told Richmond he'd have to earn good grades and stay out of trouble to be on the team.
"He stuck with it "  Pelini  said. "He went over and above. He knew he had no room for error."
Richmond began practicing with the team as a defensive end after Youngstown State's loss in the Football Championship Subdivision title game in January.  Pelini  said Richmond  a walk-on player with no scholarship  showed talent but was a "work in progress."
 Pelini  said the rape conviction and the intense public attention sharpened Richmond's focus and determination to rise above  his  past.
"It makes you grow up in a hurry "  Pelini  said.

Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Pete K. Rahn ? Maryland Transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahn  dangled a $9 billion carrot Wednesday in front of more than 100 companies potentially interested in adding express toll lanes to the Capital Beltway  Interstate 270 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
“It’s amazing ”  Rahn  quipped to more than 320 highway engineers  designers and builders in a ballroom at the BWI Airport Marriott in Linthicum. “You can get a lot of attention when you put a nine in front of a ‘B.’”
“I don’t want to just do something ”  Rahn  told the crowd. “I want to do something that delivers a ‘wow’” for traffic relief.
One big unknown: the cost of the tolls. After the meeting   Rahn  said  he  was aware variable rates on toll lanes that opened last week on part of Interstate 66 in Northern Virginia had soared to as high as $40.
“Obviously  that caught my attention ”  Rahn  said.
However   he  noted the I-66 toll has since peaked at about $14.  He  said Maryland will know the range of toll rates on its highways just before it chooses a winning proposal. Like Northern Virginia’s toll lanes  there will be no limit on how high tolls could go to keep traffic moving.
The state is not expecting to pay anything on the Beltway or I-270 projects   Rahn  said.
 Rahn  said the state will leave details of the design to bidders in hopes of receiving the most creative ideas. Maryland officials said proposals also will be judged on how the teams plan to build the lanes quickly  keep traffic moving during construction and limit impacts on adjacent homes and businesses.

Positive
