Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo is Neutral . SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc âs Waymo  sought at least $1 billion in damages and a public apology from Uber Technologies Inc as conditions for settling  its  high-profile trade secret lawsuit against the ride-services company  sources familiar with the proposal told Reuters.
The Waymo self-driving car unit also asked that an independent monitor be appointed to ensure Uber does not use  Waymo  technology in the future  the sources said.
Uber rejected those terms as non-starters  said the sources  who were not authorized to publicly discuss settlement talks. The precise dollar amount requested by  Waymo  and the exact time the offer was made could not be learned.
 Waymoâs  tough negotiating stance  which has not been previously reported  reflects the company âs  confidence in  its  legal position after months of pretrial victories in a case which may help to determine who emerges in the forefront of the fast-growing field of self-driving cars.
The aggressive settlement demands also suggest that  Waymo  is not in a hurry to resolve the lawsuit  in part because of  its  value as a distraction for Uber leadership  said Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
 Waymo  recently persuaded a San Francisco federal judge to delay a trial to decide the dispute from October to early December  citing the need to investigate evidence Uber had not disclosed earlier.
Amy Candido  a  Waymo  attorney  declined to comment on any settlement talks  but said the companyâs reasons for suing Uber are âpretty clear.â
â Waymo  had one goal: to stop Uber from using  its  trade secrets â  she  said. âThat remains  its  goal.â
 Waymo  sued Uber in February  claiming that former engineer Anthony Levandowski downloaded more than 14 000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company  called Otto  which Uber acquired soon after.
Uber denied using any of Waymoâs trade secrets.

 Waymoâs  lawsuit has been disruptive for Uber. U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted  Waymoâs  request for a pretrial injunction in May  which prohibited Levandowski from working on Lidar  a key sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
Uber later fired Levandowski  regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  after he refused to return Waymo documents at the heart of the case. Levandowski has asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from  Waymo  lawyers.
Benchmark cited  Waymo âs allegations of trade secret theft in separate litigation aimed at forcing Kalanick off Uberâs board. A Delaware judge put that lawsuit on hold and sent it to private arbitration.
On Sunday Oct. 1  the day before Kalanick was scheduled to give a deposition in the Waymo case  Kalanickâs lawyers called  Waymo  and asked to postpone the deposition  lawyers for both companies said in court last week.
Kalanickâs lawyers said he was in the middle of a fight to appoint new board members and was therefore too busy   Waymo  attorneys said in court.  Waymo  refused the request  forcing Kalanick to attend the deposition.
yes

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mike Freeman is Positive . Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman  declined to confirm the grand jury  citing the secrecy of any such proceeding  but said  he  still intends to make  his  own decision on whether to charge the officer.
Justine Ruszczyk Damond  a 40-year-old life coach  was killed by Minneapolis Officer Mohamed Noor just minutes after she called police to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home. Noor hasn't been charged  and  Freeman  said weeks ago that more investigating was needed in the case. He also told activists in a recorded conversation that he didn't have enough evidence and investigators "haven't done their job."
In recent years   Freeman  has said he would no longer use grand juries to decide whether officers would be charged in police shootings  saying he would make those decisions himself to provide more accountability and transparency.
Marsh Halberg  a criminal defense attorney who is not connected to this case  said it could give  Freeman  a strategic advantage by requiring witnesses to testify under oath and lock down witness testimony in advance of a possible trial. Still  Halberg said  it's unclear whether a grand jury can be used strictly for investigative purposes on the state level  and it's not something he has seen in his 40-year career.
Halberg said  Freeman  could be using the grand jury as "a tactical reason to get evidence from people who are maybe refusing to testify."
Robert Bennett  an attorney for the Damond family  said he and the family support  Freeman 's use of the grand jury and think it's the right thing to do. Bennett said it's disappointing that subpoenas were necessary to get witnesses  including police officers  to be truthful.
Noor's attorney  Thomas Plunkett  issued a statement saying  Freeman 's comments "leave me unclear as to what he is doing." He added that "it would be unethical and potentially unlawful to comment publicly on this development. Worse â any public comment would jeopardize the fairness of an important judicial function."
The grand jury process has been criticized for its secrecy and because it rarely results in charges against officers.  Freeman  broke precedent with the standard practice of using grand juries to decide charges in police shootings after the November 2015 death of Jamar Clark.  Freeman  noted at that time that grand juries had been used to consider police shootings in  his  county for more than 40 years and no officers had been indicted.
no

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rhonda Richards is Neutral . âThis elevates this issue as a priority â said  Rhonda Richards  senior legislative representative of AARP . As the initial driving force behind the legislation  AARP rallied more than 60 aging and disability organizations to support the idea  including the Elizabeth Dole Foundation  Paralyzed Veterans of America  Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Alzheimerâs Association and then championed the appeal to legislators. The senior advocate organization has nearly 38 million members and offices in every state  the District of Columbia  Puerto Rico  and the U.S. Virgin Islands
 Richards  said whether you have been a caregiver  will be a caregiver  or may need a caregiver at some point  âThis issue has touched just about everyone. Itâs non-partisan. Itâs bi-partisan. Most people have a personal story. The law helps bring together stakeholders to better recognize and support families and caregivers to help make sure caregivers get the training and support they need to navigate the healthcare system.â
While RAISE does not authorize additional funding for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS)  it does mandate the development of a strategy within a 3-year period.  Richards  said RAISE calls for the creation of an advisory council that will be required to issue a report to HHS Secretary Eric D. Hargan within a year of the lawâs enactment. Hargan will then be required to issue a national strategy within 18 months of the lawâs enactment. Going forward  the advisory council will be required to provide the secretary annual progress reports.
Some of the topics that will likely be addressed to support caregivers  according to  Richards   include:
âThe idea is to come up with best practices for health care providers and others  for employers to better support family caregivers and for government to better support family caregivers â  Richards  said. âThe reports and strategy provide important information and steps that can be acted upon.â

yes
