How is sentiment calculated? #112

How is sentiment calculated when querying a term? The aggregate sentiment number in a document from a New Events query seems really high. I'm wondering if we're artificially making the aggregate sentiment high. ??

The sentiment for a given day is a significance-weighted sum of the returned values for that day (e.g. positive sentiment times the entities' significance minus negative sentiment times the entities' significance).
