Insatiable ambition and talent.

Insatiable and thankless mob. What do they want?

Chinese workers are not forced into factories because of our insatiable desire for iPods.

But, everywhere around us we have insatiable use for energy because it's so cheap.

Globalization, with its insatiable appetite, and the ravenous forces of unrestricted free market and trade liberalization are forever famished.

You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren't satisfied.

You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren't satisfied.

And this engine is not just economic value it is pulling material resources relentlessly through the system, driven by our own insatiable appetites, driven in fact by a sense of anxiety.

Certainly, there are some good economic reasons why lenders have such an insatiable appetite for debt. Imperfect information and difficulties in monitoring firms pose significant obstacles to idealized risk sharing instruments.

And this proposal was a reaction to the over saturation of emergent technologies in recent national and world expositions, which feeds, or has been feeding, our insatiable appetite for visual stimulation with an ever greater digital virtuosity.

All start on the great Tibetan Plateau and flow in parallel through the northwest corner of the province into Southeast Asia. They are China s last pristine rivers, but are now slated for sacrifice to satisfy the country s insatiable thirst for power.

The Dr. Pangloss school dismissed them as benign a mere reflection of emerging economies demand for dollar reserves, which only the US could provide, and American consumers insatiable appetite for cheap merchandise imports. Trading safe assets for cheap merchandise was the best of all worlds.

One explanation for the difference is accelerating wage growth across developing regions, which is raising commodity demand, whereas stagnating wages in developed markets are causing the reserve price to decline. By implication, if nothing else, global energy, food, and mineral prices will continue to be buoyed by seemingly insatiable emerging market demand, which commands much higher reserve prices.

And it lay precisely in that insatiable curiosity, that irrepressible desire to know, no matter what the subject, no matter what the cost, even at a time when the keepers of the Doomsday Clock are willing to bet even money that the human race won't be around to imagine anything in the year 2100, a scant 93 years from now.

When the Chinese government formally announces Zhou s arrest probably after the conclusion of the annual session of the National People s Congress in mid March the revelations of the rot within the Chinese party state will stun even the most jaded observers. What Zhou, his family, and their cronies have done can be described only as insatiable looting and blatant gangsterism.

The usual explanation of today s scarcity and high prices focuses on explosive growth in emerging countries, China and India in particular, whose demand for scarce resources is insatiable. But psychology also matters in speculative markets, and perhaps that image of the Greenland ice disappearing makes it seem all too plausible that everything else land, water, even fresh air is running out too.

Indeed, even if we make the transition to a cleaner world by 2050, we will need to determine how to meet a booming global population s insatiable appetite for energy in the longer term an imperative that renewables alone cannot meet. That is why we need to invest now in other technologies that can complement renewables, and provide reliable electricity for many centuries to come.

NEW DELHI Competition for strategic natural resources including water, mineral ores, and fossil fuels has always played a significant role in shaping the terms of the international economic and political order. But now that competition has intensified, as it encompasses virtually all of Asia, where growing populations and rapid economic development over the last three decades have generated an insatiable appetite for severely limited supplies of key commodities.

The scary story that is being amplified now concerns the developing world, notably China and India, where rapid economic growth and no restrictions on emissions under the Kyoto Protocol are seen as creating insatiable demands for oil. The story's premise is that the world will run out of oil faster than we thought, as these billions of people chase their dreams of big houses and sport utility vehicles.

Now, I was taken by inspector Brian Cantera, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, to a cavernous warehouse east of Vancouver to see some of the goods which are regularly confiscated by the RCMP from the smugglers who are sending it, of course, down south to the United States where there is an insatiable market for B.C. Bud, as it's called, in part because it's marketed as organic, which of course goes down very well in California.
