What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Larry Ellison ? These American billionaires also share a few quirks: Microsoft founder Bill Gates  Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg   Oracle founder Larry Ellison  dropped out of college. Jeff Bezos  Larry Page and Sergey Brin all went to Montessori schools  where children are encouraged to think independently and creatively rather than following traditional rules. It seems  too  that billionaires really like houses in Hawaii.
As is the case with the richest women in America  the richest people in America donate a lot of money to causes they care about. Some of the men on this list have donated hundreds of millions into research designed to improve human lifespan and eradicate dangerous diseases  such as Alzheimerâs disease and cancer. Warren Buffett  Gates  Zuckerberg  and  Ellison  have gone a step further and promised to give their fortunes away as part of The Giving Pledge  an initiative designed by Buffett and Gates to encourage billionaires to funnel their vast wealth to philanthropy.

 Ellison   73 â another college dropout â co-founded the software firm Oracle in 1977. In addition to owning about 25% of the company  he also owns the entire Hawaiian island of Lanai  a sailing team and even an entire tennis tournament  the New York Times reports.
While known for living large (the billionaire owns a 288-foot yatch)   Ellison  started out with modest ambitions.  His  parents  who adopted  him  when  he  was nine months old  wanted  him  to be a doctor  but  he  left school when  he  realized medicine didnât interest  him .  He  moved to California and worked as a computer programmer and a rock-climbing instructor and river guide  according to the Times. At this point   Ellison  said  he  was âpretty happy with  his  life.â
But after a series of jobs   he  became part of a company working to establish a new type of software database. That company would become Oracle  now one of the largest software companies in the world.
 Ellison   like other titans on this list  is interested in extending human lifespan  and has given over $330 million for research into aging and related diseases.
Four-times divorced   Ellison  has two adult children and calls  his  $70 million Woodside  Calif. estate home. However   Ellison âs massive real estate portfolio means  he  never spends much time in one place.  He  owns additional properties in Japan  San Francisco  Malibu  Lake Tahoe and Rhode Island.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elo ? The NFL is unforgiving  and every team’s misfortune creates an opportunity for someone else. Atlanta and Carolina’s inconsistencies this year have allowed a familiar division foe to become relevant again: the New Orleans Saints. After a spell of mediocrity that saw the Saints finish with a 7-9 record in each of the past three seasons  Sean Payton’s team appear to be on the rise  for now. The Saints have climbed to sixth in our NFL Rankings  with an Elo rating of 1589. At 4-2 and atop the NFC South  the Saints now have a 73 percent chance of making the playoffs and a 56 percent chance of winning the division — both of which are the best chances New Orleans has seen this season.
Though the readers registered a net loss of 14.2 points in Week 7 of our NFL prediction game — in which we invite readers to try to outsmart our Elo algorithm — they tied for their most successful week to date this season. The biggest net win of the week for readers  which also happens to be readers’ biggest net win of the season so far  came in the Saints’ 26-17 win on the road over the Packers. The readers took advantage of  Elo’s  inability to account for teams’ injuries in  its  predictions and selected a surging Saints team over an Aaron Rodgers-less Packers team  gaining 20.4 points over Elo on that game.
The other double-digit net win for the readers came in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ shutout victory over the Indianapolis Colts. That means the Jaguars continued to haunt Elo for another week: Our algorithm now has a 1-6 record when predicting the outcome of games involving the Jags (that’ll teach us for joking about Jacksonville every week).
It’s not too late to try your luck against Elo  so make sure you make your Week 8 predictions.
Positive

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Daniel Biss ? It makes me squirm listening to  Daniel Biss  squirm about pensions.
âThat was a long learning process for me  and I wish Iâd learned that lesson differently â a penitent  Biss  said during a recent video-recorded appearance before the Crainâs Editorial Board. The bill with his name on it presented âthe least bad of the bad options â he said. It âwasnât the best way forward â¦ but I allowed myself to accept the idea that we canât do better.â
 Biss  confessed to the Daily Herald that âthere was kind of an obsessive hysteria about (pensions) a few years ago that led a lot of people in the legislature  myself included  to act irresponsibly.â
âI learned my lesson  and I think the Supreme Court helped teach us a really important lesson â said  Biss  in  his  Crainâs interview. âThe Supreme Court was right. These pensions were promised to people.â
And Pritzker  now a pious champion on the stump of the union-friendly position  is running TV ads trembling with indignation about  Biss â lack of consistency and  his  dalliance with benefit cuts?
