	Sweeney, The
		The Sweeney was the top-rated British police series of the 1970s, bringing a new level of toughness and action to the genre, and displaying police officers bending the rules to beat crime.
		The Sweeney, focused on the exploits of Jack Regan, a maverick Detective Inspector attached to the Flying Squad, the Metropolitan police's elite armed-robbery unit, and featured John Thaw in the leading role.
		The lean and efficient production operation that Euston had pioneered in The Sweeney, relying on short-term contracts and shooting wholly with 16mm film, has been generally adopted across the industry and, with the exception of soap opera, the great majority of drama projects today are manned by free-lance crews and produced on film.

	Sweeney
		The Sweeneys were of Scots-Irish descent, dating their ancestry from Edward and Martha Sweeney who emigrated from Ulster, North Ireland, to Elizabeth County, Virginia, in 1655.
		John W. Sweeney's grandfather, Edward Sweeney of Frederick, Maryland, settled on land patents of Lord Baltimore on the Monocacy River in about 1750, and he was a major (on "muster rolls of the Georgetown Hundred, Frederick County Militia"), who fought with the Maryland militia of Gen. Washington's Continental soldiers.
		The Sweeneys bought a 10-acre tract of land at 149 Nederland Avenue, but for thirty years or more, they also leased the adjacent 10-acre tract on their east side from George Vanderweg and the 80-acre tract on their west side from George D. Anderson for grazing their dairy cattle.

	Transcript Of Tim Sweeney Video Interview - BeyondUnreal Forums
		Sweeney: Yeah, 1024 by 768 should be perfect for an Ultra, of course by the time Unreal Tournament 2007 ships at the middle or the end of next year, you'll have even higher-end cards than that; you'll have four times the performance, so you'll be able to run 1600 by 1200 on those.
		Sweeney: Yeah, we have support for stencil shadows which are hard-edged, we support real-time soft shadows, for soft shadowing of characters and characters casting shadows in the environment, and we support pre-computed shadows.
		Sweeney: Well, the big thing there is how we'll be able to put far, far more physical effects, with things like particle systems, and fluid effects, where without the Ageia system, we'll have a particle system with only a few hundred particles, and with the system, we could have tens of thousands of particles there.

		Sweeney bluntly replied that all federation activities were important to some union, and there was no more discussion, but over the following months nearly everyone at the AFL-CIO was busy explaining how his or her work contributed to either politics or organizing.
		Sweeney "works so hard that he has multiple balls in the air at the same time," said AFSCME president Gerald McEntee, a key promoter of Sweeney's original candidacy.

	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - Stephen Sondheim/Hugh Wheeler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sweeney Todd premiered in 1979 and was a major success, capturing eight Tony Awards.
		As eye-filling as the original was, the power of Hugh Wheeler's book and Sondheim's score and songs is so great that audiences are readily engaged even in a "semi-staged" version, such as the one presented for three sold-out performances by the San Francisco Symphony.
		This Sweeney Todd earned unusually enthusiastic and thoroughly deserved ovations, particularly for Sondheim himself who was present and took a curtain call.

	Shaking out the Sheets (Sweeney's Men/ Johnstons/ Hennesys)
		Among the first of these groups to make recordings were The Johnstons, Sweeney's Men and The Hennessys, all regulars on the Dublin folk-club circuit in 1968, the year they all released their debut recordings.
		Sweeney's Men, usually remembered as the great Irish folk group of the 1960s, consisted on its recordings of Andy Irvine (later of Planxty and Patrick Street), Johnny Moynihan (later of Planxty and De Danann) and Terry Woods (later of Steeleye Span and the Pogues).
		The traditional material holds up better over time than the Sweeney's originals, (heck, they were already a century old in 1968, so how's a few more years going to matter?) but most of the goods are wonderfully played, if quirkily sung, and still quite fresh.
