Requiem for a Heavyweight
- Goetan
- 8/15/13
Ranks along "Rocky" and "Raging Bull" as one of Hollywood's best boxing movies. Quinn is excellent, even if it can be taxing to understand him, and Rooney and Gleason give solid work as his trainer and pathetic manager, respectively. Screenwriter Serling adapted his own teleplay, but the ending for this film is bleaker, matching the overall grim world of Quinn's character. Muhammad Ali appears as Quinn's opponent in the opening scene. I give it a 4/5.

I've recently read about a 1930's boxer, Primo Carnera; very sad story. Could Requium for a Heavyweightpossibly been loosely based on Carnera's life?
One of the best
- Demetrius Pace
- 2/3/12
I've seen some great fight films, Raging Bull, being among the best.This film with it's all-star cast ranks right up there with the best.Anthony Quinn's portrayal of Mountain Rivera, is just as convincingas De Niro as Jake La Motta, no small accompishement.
"Requiem" Packs A One-Two Punch
- Bruce Reber
- 2/2/12
"Requiem For A Heavyweight" is a powerful story about a prizefighter facing the end of his career. Anthony Quinn stars as punch-drunk boxer Mountain Rivera, who's trying to start his life over again after a long and brutal 17 years in the ring (a performance that should have gotten him an Oscar nomination BTW). Jackie Gleason is Mountain's callous and uncaring manager Maish Rennick, Mickey Rooney is his compassionate trainer Army, and Julie Harris is the employment agency worker Grace Miller who tries to help Mountain. However, Mountain soon finds himself in a bad situation when his supposedly best friend/manager Maish plots to make some quick cash by exploiting Mountain as a professional wrestler. Mountain and Grace form an ill-fated romance, and she tries to build up his self-confidence by telling him there are better things in store, and suggests that he could be a kids camp counselor. But Maish sabotages Mountain's chance at a new life, and while Mountain agrees to wrestle to keep Maish from getting beaten up by bookies, he feels Maish's betrayal after Maish tells Mountain he's no longer a winner, that he bet against him in his fight against Cassius Clay, and now they're going to try to make money from "the losing end". The final scene says it all - trainer Army watching with tears in his eyes as Mountain enters the ring as wrestler Big Chief Rivera and the crowd booing and jeering, realizing the sad reality of Mountain's being sold out. Four Stars!

How could this NOT receive at least one Academy nomination ???
In the top 10 of all time
- Big Ed
- 1/31/12
This is a great film. A top notch performance from the best of the best. An excellent script and storyline about loyalty, betrayal, friendship, and people who REALLY care. Oh, and how to tell the difference. This is an adult theme but fit for most ALL the family. It should be a part of YOUR DVD collection. Yes, I have it.
Anthony Quinn, Great performance
- Billy Wells
- 11/6/11
This is a fantastic and moving movie with a great performance from Anthony Quinn , Gleason and Rooney. Thanks for airing it again.
A Profile of Courage and Redemption.
- Frank Harris Horn
- 1/3/10
Rod Serling, the creator of The Twilight Zone, brings his Emmy Award-winning TV melodrama to the big screen. This grim sports drama stars Anthony Quinn as a veteran prizefighter, whose professional career is on the verge of going down the drain. Thus, forcing him down a path of corruption and degradation. Jackie Gleason also stars as his sleazy manager, Mickey Rooney as his sympathetic trainer, and Julie Harris as a concerned social worker. With Nancy Cushman, Madame Spivy, Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), Jack Dempsey, Stanley Adams, Herbie Faye, Michael Conrad, Val Avery & Rory Calhoun.
Requiem Great But Short.
- James Mills
- 5/12/09
Greatest sports movie I've ever seen but missing critical scenes from original theatrical release.
Sports & Tragedy of Aging
- Elaine
- 5/8/09
This is a great sports movie for any man, but I'm a woman. I usually don't like sports movies of any kind, But this isn't your normal sports movie. It shows the problems many sports figures face when aging. From the thrill of winning, losing and regrets of having to find a different career path with almost no qualifications other than being just a sports figure. The depression, problem and inadequaties of age and lost limelight in the sports world. It will make anyone feel his pain. Anthony Quinn is magnificent in this movie and it is one both men and women can really understand and enjoy.

nurse : patient ratio
- 0May 12, '13 by NorwichnurseWith all the problems highlighted by the media scrutinising the nhs and its workers, staffing levels keeps coming up with no resolution or response from hospitals.
I am wondering what each of your current work areas staffing ratio is of nurse : patient and nurse : hca.
As a bank nurse I see a lot of areas and am shocked by the variance and how unsafe I feel at times.
- 0May 13, '13 by Silverdragon102, RN AdminWhere I used to work the ratio was 2 RN and 4 assistants to 28 acute medical patients and on nights it was 1 RN and 1 Assistant to the same 28 patients with an extra RN working between 2 wards
- 0May 14, '13 by ceridwyn GuideOMG. that's why mass exodus to Australia especially the states with ratios, it must be a dream.
I did hear patient outcomes declined in the UK with the increase of non qualified nursing staff and decrease of qualified nursing staff. The research must be somewhere because the research done on this in the NHS is how we achieved pt ratios in the first instance and with great pt ratios came better patient outcomes in Victoria, that's what the unions use now as leverage for pay increases and to keep non nursing personal away from bedside care.
Are RN,s responsible for supervision of the non nurse and 12 patients? Must be scary as your name and registration is on the line as well as the outcome of the Patient, who deserves best outcome.Last edit by ceridwyn on May 14, '13
- 0May 14, '13 by babyNP.I've never understood why the UK being so strongly for unions and going against "the man" doesn't step for safe nurse staffing ratios? My DH and his father were in two different fields of work in the UK and their unions are very protective of the employees and have strict rules about overworking them. Since this sentiment is so deeply engrained in UK culture, why doesn't it pass over to healthcare? Surely the person taking care of your loved one deserves good working conditions that promote safe care, leading to better outcomes for your loved one?
- 0May 14, '13 by Silverdragon102, RN AdminThe UK nursing and strong unions doesn't come to mind. Now with Police and Fire I see stronger unions but definitely not nursing
Here in NS I see more control with unions than I did in the UK. I also find here in NS I am paid more than I would be in the UK and I don't mean by a little but by a lot
- 0May 14, '13 by K+MgSO4I have just been reading the Irish papers online as I have emigrated to Australia 5 years ago.
All of the hard work of the unions 8 years ago to reduce the FT working week to 37.5hrs has all just been done away with the Croke Park 2 deal.
The RCN or whatever they are called now need to take some lessons from the ANF!
- 0May 18, '13 by leaho87I work in a general medical area which is meant to be short stay of approx 4-5 days. It's a common occurrence for us to be given patients who have social issues and therefore require a longer stay in hospital until we can find them a rehab placement or for their package of care to be organised. The nurse patient ratio of an early shift is 1:8/9 hca is 1:8/9, late shift is the same for nurse but hca is 1:12/13 an the night shift is nurse 1:12/13 and same for hca. When u have many all care patients and acutely unwell patients u are not only stressed about doin somethin wrong and risking ur pin but u also worry about not providing the best standard or care that every patient deserves. It really is tough sometimes. It's also hard as a nurse to go home feeling like if only u would have had enough time u could have done this this an this for ur patient.
- 0May 20, '13 by NorwichnurseRatios are so variable but this particular hospital seems to accept a very low level.
Wards I have worked on recently
Gynae 1:6
Neurology 1:13!!!!
Emergency surgical 1:8
Emergency medical 1:7
A+e 3:6
Cardiology 1:9
Paeds 1:5
Emergency paeds 3:6
Mfe 1:12
Upper gi surgical 1:12
Orthopaedic 1: 12
Im always really upset by the one to a dozen patient wards as they always seem to be the most dependant patients.

A Platoon at First Base Seems Most Likely For the Pirates
The Pirates have employed a platoon at first base in each of the last two years, trying to find a right-handed hitter to pair with Garrett Jones. Now it seems they're in the opposite situation. They added Gaby Sanchez at the 2012 trade deadline, and saw Sanchez put up great numbers against lefties in 2013. However, Jones struggled, and was designated for assignment today. The move today didn't really change any future...

Yesterday the Pittsburgh Pirates lost out on their top free agent target, Jorge De La Rosa, after the left hander signed an incredibly player friendly deal to remain in Colorado.

December 21, 2014
HUMBOLDT, Tenn. (AP) -- An appeals court has overturned the first-degree murder conviction of a Gibson County man in the dismemberment killing of his mother.
The Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals ruled, however, that evidence does support a second-degree murder conviction of David Climer Jr.
The recent ruling was reported by The Jackson Sun in Thursday's edition.
In 2008, Climer led police to the buried remains of his mother, Dorris Deberry, in a Madison County woods. Investigators believe Deberry was killed in late November 2007. Climer told police he decapitated his mother's body, but claimed he did not kill her.
A jury in Humboldt convicted Climer of first-degree murder in March 2010 and he was sentenced to life in prison -- an effective 51-year term.

Freestanding signs are one of the most common and effective types of signage used today.
Freestanding, or more commonly called, monument and pylon signs offer businesses a higher degree of visibility at different eye levels. This allows businesses maximum exposure while allowing motorists to easily distinguish their establishment from other businesses while passing by. These signs can be created simple or complex, architecturally low profiled or bold and bright. Some free standing signage is built to include LED display units, reader boards, or time and temperature display to further attract a larger view audience.

Will Tucson spring training return?
Third Tucson spring game added
Another game for Tucson baseball fans: The Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers are playing a Cactus League Spring Training game at Kino Stadium on Friday, March 16 at 1:05 p.m. "Milwaukee and Seattle are cold weather climates and we look forward to seeing fans from those regions visiting Tucson for the game," said Tom Tracy, […]

Spring-training games returning to Tucson this year
MLB teams are still messing with spring-training schedules, but this time the news is good: the Pima County Sports & Tourism Authority will announce two games for Kino Stadium — including a March 23 Dodgers/White Sox game — at a Thursday press conference. No, we don't know the teams involved, but we're guessing one of […]
Spring baseball returning to Tucson in 2012 — kinda
Professional baseball could return to Tucson's Kino Stadium in 2012, but it won't be American baseball — and there are no plans for anything geared for spectators. Stadium district officials are looking at signing a deal with two Korean League teams, the DC Dinos and the Hanwha Eagles, to train at the Kino Stadium complex […]

Create or position light object in spherical coordinates
light_handle = lightangle(az,el)
[az,el] = lightangle(light_handle)
lightangle(az,el) creates a light at the position specified by azimuth and elevation. az is the azimuthal (horizontal) rotation and el is the vertical elevation (both in degrees). The interpretation of azimuth and elevation is the same as that of the view command.
light_handle = lightangle(az,el) creates a light and returns the handle of the light in light_handle.
lightangle(light_handle,az,el) sets the position of the light specified by light_handle.
[az,el] = lightangle(light_handle) returns the azimuth and elevation of the light specified by light_handle.
By default, when a light is created, its style is infinite. If the light handle passed in to lightangle refers to a local light, the distance between the light and the camera target is preserved as the position is changed.


text: The Minnesota Department of Transportation is asking for the public's help in the planned expansion of Highway 60 from Mountain Lake to Butterfield. Mn/DOT officials are collecting drainage information on that stretch of highway, and are asking all affected homeowners to bring maps of drainage tile locations to an upcoming open house at the Mountain Lake City Council Chambers. It is being held from 10:30am to 6pm on Wednesday, September 12th. Project engineers hope to preserve the existing drainage along that stretch of Highway 60 while minimizing any future drainage problems. The expansion of the highway to 4 lanes from Mountain Lake to Butterfield is scheduled to begin in 2015.

Statewide Book Discussion Series - A More Perfect Union: The Common Defense
Connie Von Der Heide of the Wisconsin State Law Library reports that the Wisconsin Humanities Council is coordinating a statewide book discussion series entitled, A More Perfect Union: The Common Defense. Discussion kits are available from the WHC.
The second A More Perfect Union book discussion series explores the founders' mandate "to provide for the common defense." Since 1787, the U.S. has acted on many occasions and in many ways in "the common defense," fighting both on our own soil and abroad to defend U.S. ideals and interests. What is it that the U.S. has considered worth defending here at home? How have we defended our national interests when it comes to acting overseas? When is defense justified? What is the role of citizens, elected representatives, and government officials in making decisions about the common defense? Today, what do we consider worth defending? What is "common" - or uncommon - about those interests or ideals?

Cronin: U.S. Hockey Hall honor for Chris Chelios only the beginning
Tim Cronin email@example.com | (708) 633-5948 August 2, 2011 5:50PM
Next stop, the Hall: Chris Chelios' hockey travels have taken him from, among others, Mount Carmel to Moose Jaw to Montreal to the Blackhawks to Detroit to the Wolves, and, next, the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. | File photo
If there's any doubt Chris Chelios will double up on Halls of Fame, adding a spot into the Toronto-based hall to Monday's induction to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, just look at this number: plus-350. That's Chelios' career plus-minus figure, the second-best figure among American-born defenseman in NHL history. (Phil Housley and Brian Leetch, 1-2 in points, are minus-53 and plus-25, respectively). The best plus-minus in the group? Mark Howe's plus-400. Howe, who scored 206 fewer points than Chelios and won neither a Stanley Cup nor a Norris Trophy, will be inducted into the Toronto Hall in the fall.
Updated: January 23, 2012 3:18AM
Craig Ferguson knows why Chris Chelios, his old hockey teammate at Mount Carmel, succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams on the ice.
"More so than anyone else I know, he made his own way," Ferguson said of Chelios, named Monday to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. "It wasn't like today, when there are so many junior programs. Chris had to do it himself."
A journey that began in Evergreen Park and included stops in San Diego, Moose Jaw, Madison and Sarajevo before he made the NHL will culminate in Chicago in October, when USA Hockey honors Chelios and this year's other inductees: former Blackhawks defenseman Gary Suter, Philadelphia Flyers owner Ed Snider and broadcaster Mike Emrick.
Oh, and Ferguson called it. Back in 1997, remembering when Chelios played goalie for the Saints as a kid, Ferguson said, "He'd play anywhere against anybody at any time of the day or night and at any position. I think that's why he'll be in the Hall of Fame. Obviously, there's a wealth of talent, but I don't think there's anybody who loves playing hockey like Chris Chelios."
"Halfway there," Ferguson, now St. Rita's director of admissions and hockey coach, said Tuesday. "He's got to wait two years for the Hockey Hall of Fame. And I'm fairly certain that's a certainty."
A 26-season career including three Stanley Cup titles, an equal number of Norris trophies and sitting 10th all time in points among NHL defenseman (and third among American blueliners, behind only Phil Housley and Brian Leetch), would tend to favor Chelios' induction into the big Toronto hall. It's closely aligned with the NHL — it's the home of the Stanley Cup and the rest of the league's silverware — but open to nominees from around the world.
Expect Chelios to be a first-ballot inductee to the big hall in 2013. For the moment, being honored by his country's hockey hall is huge.
"It's pretty hard to believe," Chelios said Monday.
To him, maybe. Of course, Chelios never has been good about talking about himself. He always wanted to credit someone else on the team or someone who helped him. Meanwhile, the numbers added up (216 NHL goals, including 31 in the playoffs; 1,092 points including the postseason). The knees wore out, but the seasons piled up.
"Look at his longevity," Ferguson said. "Chris wasn't playing because he needed a paycheck. He played because he loved the competition. Even going to the Wolves, he wanted to play."
Curiously, Chelios' resume will note he played his final seven NHL games for the Atlanta Thrashers, then the Wolves' parent club. His stints with the Canadiens, Blackhawks and Red Wings will be more vividly remembered.
With the Canadiens he became the final piece of the puzzle needed to solve the Stanley Cup equation in 1986. With the Hawks — the deal Mike Keenan made with the Habs, shipping Denis Savard to his hometown and bringing Chelios to his, was the best one Trader Mike made — he pushed his teammates to the Cup Final in 1992, only to run into Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr at their best. With Detroit, to where he fled after owner Bill Wirtz decided to go cheap in the era of unbridled free agency, he helped the Wings to a pair of Cups.
He played hard. He played dirty — go to YouTube.com and type in "Chelios Hextall" for a vintage scrap. He played hurt, including at the Winter Classic at Wrigley Field on New Year's Day 2009. He was a leader.
He was a four-time Olympian.
Those of lesser resolve wouldn't have made it. The family moved to San Diego when he was 15, and Chelios was lucky to find a pick-up league in Los Angeles to get on the ice once a week. At college age, he twice tried out for the U.S. International University team and twice was cut. (The school didn't make the cut, either. It was absorbed by another school in 2001.)
Chelios was cut by a Tier II junior team in Windsor, Ontario, before begging a team in Moose Jaw for a chance. He got it, and two years later was drafted by Montreal. Before he joined the Canadiens, he played for the U.S. in the 1984 Olympics.
The little kid from Evergreen Park who grew up fast was on the way. His way.

Arguably the globe's most well-known conservation organization, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), has been facilitating illegal logging, vast deforestation, and human rights abuses by pairing up with notorious logging companies in a flagging effort to convert them to greener practices, alleges a new report by Global Witness. Through its program, the Global Forest and Trade Network (GFTN), WWF—known as World Wildlife Fund in the US and Canada—has become entangled with some dubious companies, including one that is imperiling orangutans in Borneo and another which has been accused of human rights abuses in the Congo rainforest. Even with such infractions, these companies are still able to tout connections to WWF and use its popular panda logo. The Global Witness report, entitled  Pandering to the Loggers, calls for WWF to make large-scale changes in order to save the credibility of its corporate program.

AMA Research are pleased to announce the publication of the Tenth
Edition of the 'Domestic Conservatory Market Report - UK 2012-2016
Analysis' - incorporating original input and primary research, it
represents an up-to-date and comprehensive review of the Conservatory market.
The report reviews the Conservatory market in domestic applications, assessing
recent volatility in the sector. Recent trends and future prospects for the
market are reviewed, with a focus on both the short and longer term prospects
up to 2016. Despite the downturn, this market is still worth well
over £1 billion at retail prices including heating, lighting,
flooring and window coverings etc.
Compiled by marketing professionals with experience of the Conservatory
market, this report answers the need for both a comprehensive review of market
developments and a detailed analysis of influencing factors and possible
future trends in 2012-2016.

Since 2008, the conservatory market has been characterised by poor performance
and large volume declines. In particular, it has been significantly affected
by poor consumer confidence, the restriction of credit and a dramatically
reduced house moving market.
The market was estimated to be worth around £564m in 2011. In volume
terms this represents around 93,600 conservatories. The market in 2012 is a
more sophisticated market than existed in the fairly recent past, offering a
wider product range (eg orangeries, glazed extensions, alongside traditional
style conservatories) and a wider range of colour and material options. This
situation has developed in response to a more demanding customer base than
existed pre-2008. There are fewer small projects being undertaken and average
prices are therefore higher than in 2008.
In terms of frame materials, PVC-U continues to dominate, but timber has a
good share, retaining its attraction for many consumers due to its natural
appearance and sustainability credentials. Aluminium remains a more expensive
option, though it has retained a niche share in the domestic market, perhaps
for larger installations where structural support demands it.
Average prices are critical in the PVC-U sector where volumes have declined
significantly and competition is intense. In the high end timber sector,
pressure on prices is thought to have been less and margins better, as this
sector has held up better in the current and recent economic climate.
In the self-build sector, the focus has switched from DIY stores to online
conservatory specialists, who offer a wider range of product options than
those offered by DIY outlets even in the recent past.
The supply structure for conservatories remains very complex and fragmented.
Some consolidation has occurred, particularly at national retail level and at
roof systems level. There have been several high profile company closures and
mergers. Main channels of distributions are garden centres, replacement window
companies, DIY outlets and conservatory specialists.
Our forecast for value growth rates are for low, gradual improvement in this
market. We do not anticipate that any substantial change is likely to be seen
in the short to medium term, with subdued economic prospects, continued
restriction of credit and low consumer confidence key factors restricting any
strong market recovery. The market is not expected to recover to the peak
volumes of over 200,000 annual installations achieved in the early-mid 2000s.
