PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Maia ? Then Balfour popped the question to their dog   Maia  with a pink rhinestone collar.
 âIt was a plan Iâve had for a while â said Balfour. âWe got  Maia  right around the same time we moved in together. Sheâs been a part of our family. It felt wrong to not include  her  in the proposal somehow. I knew I wanted  her  there for the photos  for sure. It made sense to have something for  her  as well.â
Getzinger said Balfourâs decision to include  Maia  was âliterally the sweetest thing ever.â
âI thought it was so cute â  she  said. â She âs super important to  me .  She âs with  me  all day every day. The fact he went out of his way to include  her  was really special to  me .â
â She  is our fur child â said Getzinger. âIâd like to involve  her  in the ceremony. If not the ceremony  definitely for pictures right after.  She  gets very excited when thereâs lots of people around.â
The wedding will take place on Getzingerâs dadâs farm  so âthereâs lots of space out there for  her  to run around â  she  said.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rick Pitino ? Rick Pitino   the masterful coach first lured to this basketball-besotted state in 1989 to heal somebody elseâs scandal  finally toppled 28 years later Wednesday in the gusts of the latest scandal in  his  own program. By the time the University of Louisville placed  him  on unpaid administrative leave and shut off  his  access to a promising 17th season â  he  previously coached the University of Kentucky from 1989 to 1997 â it left a city woozy with scandal fatigue.
 Pitino  expressed dismay and surprise at the allegations Tuesday  just as  he  had after the revelations that former Louisville assistant Andre McGee had paid a Louisville escort to entertain the Cardinalsâ players and recruits.
âThese allegations come as a complete shock to me â  Pitino  said in a statement released Tuesday. âIf true  I agree with the U.S. Attorneyâs Office that these third-party schemes  initiated by a few bad actors  operated to commit a fraud on the impacted universities and their basketball programs  including the University of Louisville. Our fans and supporters deserve better and I am committed to taking whatever steps are needed to ensure those responsible are held accountable.â
The menâs basketball program is already under NCAA probation for the 2015 scandal.  Pitino  faced a five-game suspension during the upcoming season as part of the penalties; in addition  Louisville was ordered to return money received for NCAA tournament appearances from 2012 through 2015 and to vacate 123 wins during that period  including the 2013 national championship. The university has appealed the ruling.
 Pitino  found success at nearly every NCAA stop  he  made in a coaching career that began in the mid-1970s. At Boston University   his  first head coaching job   he  led the Terriers to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 24 years.  Pitino  parlayed that success into a two-year run at Providence  where  he  guided the Friars to the 1987 Final Four.
Then  after a two-year run coaching the New York Knicks   he  left  his  dream NBA job in 1989 to take over at tradition-rich but scandal-plagued Kentucky  even though the Wildcats would be banned from live television in  his  first season and from the NCAA tournament in  his  first two seasons.
After that  however   Pitino  quickly had Kentucky back among the nationâs elite  with a memorable Elite Eight appearance in the Wildcatsâ first post-probation season in 1992 and a Final Four bid the season after that   his  first of three appearances in the national semifinals at the school. In 1996   he  led Kentucky to its first national title in 18 years.
After an unsuccessful four-year run as coach and team president of the Boston Celtics   he  was back at another faded Kentucky power: Louisville  which had not won an NCAA tournament game in Denny Crumâs last four seasons.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Christopher Giles ? Before driving 11 hours to break into a famous YouTube coupleâs home   Christopher Giles  made notes about one of the YouTubers  police say.
 Giles   23  is accused of breaking into the Austin  Texas  house of Free and Megan Turney on Jan. 26. Armed with a gun   Giles  allegedly searched the house for the couple  who hid in a closet and called 911. Investigators claim  Giles  was there to kill  but  Giles  was the only one to wind up dead.
 Giles  was âan avid player of video games and was known for watching YouTube videos that were centered on  his  hobby â according to an affidavit obtained by  Giles â hometown newspaper  the Albuquerque Journal.
The hobby led  him  to Turney  a popular YouTuber who posts about video games and anime  where she has more than 300 000 followers. One of the few Facebook pages  he  liked was that of Rooster Teeth  a video game-centric production company where Turney is a former on-screen personality.
 Giles  âdeveloped a fondness of Turney â according to the affidavit  which references notes investigators found on  Giles â phone.  He  had no such fondness for Turneyâs boyfriend  Free  who is best known for  his  YouTube channel the Slow Mo Guys  where  he  and a friend have amassed more than 10 million followers for the slow-motion videos.
 Giles  âresented Free for  his  lifestyle and success â the affidavit claims. In one note on  his  phone   Giles  allegedly spelled out  his  death wish for the famous YouTuber. âI want Gavin Free to die alone  with no children â  Giles  reportedly wrote.
In the days before the home invasion   Giles  was âsingle  lonely and disturbed â a detective said in a search warrant for his home. He also had a history of brushes with the law  beginning with a vehicle citation in 2014  court records show. In October 2015  he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. The next year  he pleaded no contest to marijuana and drug paraphernalia charges.
But in January 2018   Giles  plotted a serious crime  investigators allege.
Turney and Free live in Austin  Texas  approximately 11 hours from the Rio Rancho  New Mexico  home where  Giles  lived alone. After driving the entire way   Giles  arrived at the home around 3:40 a.m. on Jan. 26.
Gun in hand   Giles  allegedly roamed the house the house looking for the couple. Based on surveillance footage  âit was apparent that  Giles â sole intent was to cause harm to someone who resides there â a search warrant said.
He eventually gave up and left  climbing back into his car. But as  Giles  was pulling from Turney and Freeâs driveway  police arrived. They ordered him out of the car. Instead  police say  they heard him fire a single shot inside the vehicle. One officer fired on the car. When they opened approached the car again   Giles  was dead.
On social media   Giles â would-be victims downplayed the incident.
