Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Cosby ? Bill Cosby   seen here at an August court appearance  is set for a retrial on sexual assault charges in April  after his first trial last spring ended in a hung jury. (Matt Rourke/AP)
The prosecutor in the  Bill Cosby  case asked a Pennsylvania judge to allow testimony from 19 alleged prior victims of the entertainer  whose retrial on sex assault charges is set to begin April 2.
The request is the first public indication of the shape and parameters of the prosecution case  and it represents a significant expansion of the government’s effort to portray  Cosby  as a serial predator. When  Cosby  was tried in June  prosecutors sought to include testimony from just 13 women who said they had been assaulted by the comic legend.
But it remains to be seen how this latest move by prosecutors will play out: Last year’s effort by prosecutors to introduce so-called “prior bad acts” testimony was largely unsuccessful  as the judge allowed only one of the 13 to appear at  Cosby ’s trial  which ended with a hung jury.

In their request Thursday  prosecutors said that  Cosby  “has spent a lifetime entertaining audiences in front of the camera. Off camera  he has followed and  indeed mastered  a more nefarious script — a victimizing sexual script. . . . To satiate his desire  he has engaged  over the course of a lifetime  in a pattern of serial sexual abuse.”

 Cosby  faces felony charges for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand  a former Temple University employee  at  his  suburban Philadelphia estate in 2004.  Cosby   now 80  has denied sexually assaulting women.

Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Aranibar ? Bitter potato varieties are still harvested in the Andean highlands  says Marcelino Aranibar  an animal nutritionist and vice president of research at the National University of Juliaca. Especially at higher altitudes  these hardy and frost-resistant varieties are a valuable food source.
Instead of detoxifying them with clay alone  Aranibar says these bitter potatoes are often made into chuño  a form of naturally dehydrated potato that also removes some of the toxins. Making chuño is considered an ancient Andean practice and allows for year-round potato storage.
 Aranibar  has researched how rats with gastritis recuperate after being fed chaco  though  he  has not researched this in humans.  Aranibar himself  eats the pale tan or grey clay mixed with water once every day or two.  He  claims it has helped manage  his  own gastritis.
The practice of clay eating is now a part of the region's tradition  says  Aranibar .
"There are many people in the Peruvian-Bolivian high plateau that still consume clay  but it's not because the potatoes are bitter "  he  says. "It is more of a custom than a necessity."

Answer: Positive


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Giancarlo Stanton ? Skip in Skip  x Embed x Share CLOSE Giancarlo Stanton  is hitting home runs at a ridiculous pace this season  but the distance they are traveling is equally hard to believe.  USA TODAY Sports

They want  Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton   and while itâs not realistic now  it could be by the start of the 2018 season.
 Stanton   who passed through waivers without a sniff a few weeks ago  suddenly has a captive audience  hitting  his  50th home run Sunday earlier than any player since Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa in 2001.
Despite his exploits  no team has informed the Marlins they would be willing to pay the remainder of  Stanton âs entire salary  a cool $295 million over the next 10 years beginning in 2018.
Yet  not even the Marlins  who will be sold as soon as their season ends to a group led by Derek Jeter and Bruce Sherman  are stupid enough to trade  Stanton  now.
 Stanton  will be wearing a Marlinsâ uniform right up until the their season finale on Oct. 1  or longer if they happen to make the playoffs.
The Marlins  with Jeter running the show once the sale closes  will trade  Stanton .
It would be altogether different  of course  if Jeffrey Loria was still owning the team. He would be lampooned to Cuba if he dared trade  Stanton .
The difference now  of course  is that when  Stanton  is traded  Jeter will be in charge.
The Marlins  who want to keep their payroll around $100 million  simply canât have one-third of their payroll tied into one player  no matter how many homers  Stanton  hits.
Letâs face it  considering  Stanton âs injury-plagued past   his  trade value may never be higher.
The Cardinals have the money  and certainly the most prospects of any team interested in  Stanton   but  Stanton  also has complete no-trade rights. Itâs unknown what teams  he  would be willing to approve a trade.
 Stanton âs preference would be the Dodgers  where  he  grew up in the Los Angeles area and still lives during the offseason. But sorry  the Dodgersâ days of wild spending are over  vowing to shed payroll.
Letâs see if  Stanton  can hit two more home runs this month and break Rudy Yorkâs record of 18 homers in August of 1937; hit 12 more homers to pass Maris; or even continue this crazy tear and produce a 70-homer season.
When itâs all over  and he puts away his bats for the winter  we can watch  Stanton  establish yet another record.

Answer:
Neutral
