...call it the new club of three." The aide is also dubious that the economic-reform ideas Blair is championing can readily apply to the Continent. "We and the Germans want reform too, but we have different traditions, and the question is where we find the equilibrium between them." That doesn't sound like a shared vision for leading the E.U. toward the sunlit uplands. Still, it's a start. Certainly the Berlin meeting will be a cheery photo op. The Big Three could also try to break the logjam on voting weights that scuppered the constitutional talks in December...
...really after is a stable, low-gravity place where spacecraft could be assembled and missions could begin, they might do a lot better to fly out to Lagrange point L1--a spot about 200,000 miles from Earth where the gravity of Earth and moon are in relative equilibrium. Gravitational forces essentially cancel each other out at such cosmic odd spots, making them easier to leave than the low-gravity moon and entirely eliminating the need to ease hardware down to the surface and then wrestle it back off again...
...girlfriend and sometimes fuck-buddy, Alison F. Harmon ’06 found all sorts of relief when they ventured off to use the facilities at the Harvard-Yale tailgates. The very drunk couple upchucked several liters of bodily fluids between them and then, with their equilibrium partially restored, proceeded to swap much of what remained in an impromptu two hour romp within the potty’s narrow confines. The entire tryst was accompanied by the uproarious cheers of the gentleman in the adjacent potty, who only interrupted his chorus of “booyas?...
...simply restoring the equilibrium of the recent past - two governments at least rhetorically committed to implementing President Bush?s ?roadmap? initiative, even if real progress was negligible - may no longer be possible. That?s because Arafat has carefully raised the stakes: Whereas previously, the U.S. had insisted that he not be harmed but also that he be isolated and ignored, the Palestinian leader has effectively junked that strategy by bringing down Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas - the man designated by Washington and Israel to succeed Arafat - and reasserting his dominance in the PA. His new prime minister-designate Ahmed Qureia warned...
...conductor, it must be precisely balanced, as in double-entry bookkeeping, by a deficit in another. Stated another way, electrical charge is always conserved, an important new principle descended from Newton's conservation of momentum. Finally, he said, when sparks fly between two charged bodies, they instantly restore the equilibrium between them...
