He is a perpetual motion forward. Reeves Nelson 6-7 CF (Pump N' Run Elite) This young man has been phenomenal in back-to-back national events. (Mac-Sports.com)
Fitz: Solar & Wind Power Apr 24, 2007
Even if perpetual motion machines or Star Trek replicators could increase the production of solar and wind by nine million percent, there would still be a shortage of energy. In a type of perverted Malthusianism, the market creates artificial desires faster than the planets ecosystems can sustain them. (Zmag.org)
Interfaith group's new leader still answers first calling -- social action Apr 23, 2007
In perpetual motion, he may be found volunteering at a soup kitchen, standing vigil against the war, or meeting with groups to enlist them for his organization; Tuesday night, he took part in a memorial service for students and faculty members killed at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. This month, Kern and the ministries' president, Peter Barrer, began talks with M. Bilal Kaleem, executive director of the Boston chapter of the Muslim American Society. (Boston Globe -- Local)
Fitzh: Consumption, No Tomorrow Apr 22, 2007
Perpetual motion machines, biomass and biofuels will not halt species extinction caused by climate change. Again, efficiency and solar and wind power are critical components of a sustainable society. (Zmag.org)

The streets are calling Mar 27, 2007
You remember Rivers, brash to the point of abrasive, a guy in perpetual motion, but in which direction it wasn't always clear. He was a crucial player in the Ten Point Coalition, one of the chief architects of the Boston Miracle, founder of one of the city's most successful retreats for at-risk kids, the Ella J. Baker House.

U.S. Economy to IT: Thank You Mar 14, 2007
Without that focus, Atkinson warned that IT is "no magic perpetual motion machine that will inexorably drive growth." National economic policy, he said, can accelerate or restrict growth. According to the report, the right IT public policies could mean the difference between adding two percentage points of productivity growth per year to the economy instead of just one percentage point, which would be the difference between incomes doubling in 36 years instead of 70 years.

'Conducting Satisfies My Ego. The Church Feeds My Soul' Mar 5, 2007
Except when he settles down for his required eight hours of sleep, Statom, 31, is in perpetual motion. A husband and father, Statom finds family time while serving as the full-time director of music at First Presbyterian Church, the artistic director of the Lake Wales Chorale and the music director for the Central Florida Bach Festival, which specializes in bringing baroque music to the area.

'Friday Night Lights' is NBC's unsung champion Feb 28, 2007
They're rich, swirling around one another in a kind of perpetual motion. The NBC drama is ostensibly about the outsized importance of the high school football team in a small Texas town; this is the easiest entry point for anyone who hasn't yet seen the show (and there are, alas, many of you).

This is not perpetual motion, said engineer Johnson, but he indicated it was getting close. The plant would reuse and feed back into the conversion system some of the by-products, such as carbon dioxide. (Grants Cibola County Beacon, NM)
Leaps of faith Feb 21, 2007
No wonder so much damage control is needed every time yet another outlandish claim is made for "breakthroughs" like cold fusion, room temperature superconductivity or perpetual motion machines. If there's been an equal swell in the number of people subscribing to magical interpretations of existence it's because the line dividing the world of empirical analysis from emotional needs is progressively getting blurred.

Shostakovich gets a workout Feb 13, 2007
Cellist Yeesun Kim exploded a headlong march into a virtuosic frenzy, with Kitchen and second violinist Kristopher Tong sawing demonic fiddle tunes over the frantic perpetual motion. And the ending, with Kitchen whispering razor-edge harmonics over a chord that the other three pulled all the way back to inaudibility, was magical. (Boston Globe)
Maxwell's Demon: Nano Machine Of The Future Captures Great Scientist's Bold Vision Feb 7, 2007
Professor David Leigh, of the University of Edinburgh's School of Chemistry, said: "Our machine has a device -- or 'demon' if you like -- inside it that traps molecule-sized particles as they move in a certain direction. Maxwell reasoned that if such a system could ever be made it would need energy to work. Without energy, it might appear that the perpetual motion of the molecules could power other devices in the same way as a windmill, but Maxwell reasoned that this would go against the second...

Another source for alternative power Feb 3, 2007
Daniel wrote on February 02, 2007 11:57 AM:"I would expect McNerney to understand the first law of thermodynamics, which places a limit on the amount of energy that can be produced by a solar array or a windmill. Since these are not perpetual motion machines, there is a minimum size requirement which is very very big, and expensive, but not as much as the NAFTA Superhighway.". Daniel wrote on February 02, 2007 11:22 AM:"Has enyone ever thought about having a nuclear power half-way between Galt,... (Lodi News Sentinel, CA)
Demon ratchets up nanotech revolution Feb 1, 2007
The proposal had scientists baffled, not least because one of the consequences was a promise of perpetual motion. But a better understanding of the link between information and entropy finally demonstrated the impossibility of this thermodynamic free lunch. (Chemistry World)

John Burton wrote on January 21, 2007 12:30 PM:"Washington was a liberal? Really? News to me. Jefferson, maybe, but not Washington. Korea was prosecuted by a liberal President? Eisenhower was a liberal? I guess in the revisionistic land of Liberalism those two dictums have been changed, as well as the Laws of Thermodynamics.
