[00:01]tariff

[00:02]One explanation is geography: as countries have

[00:05]lowered their tariff barriers, the relatively greater

[00:08]importance of transport costs makes proximity matter more.

[00:14]stiff

[00:17]BuildMyLanyard.com faced stiff competition,

[00:20]according to Nathalie Baudoin, a semifinals judge and

[00:24]vice president of marketing at the Mountain Equipment

[00:27]Co-Op, an outdoor clothing and equipment company.

[00:32]sniff

[00:34]Michels said that even more advanced security

[00:37]measures, such as machines that "sniff" passengers

[00:40]for explosives or analyse swabs of their clothes and

[00:44]belongings, might not have spotted the device.

[00:50]cloak

[00:51]Berkeley, Calif., did nothing to change its rep as one

[00:54]of America's flakier places when scientists on the local

[00:59]campus of the University of California announced they'd

[01:03]invented an invisibility cloak.

[01:07]soak

[01:08]One place where children soak up A characteristics is

[01:12]school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive

[01:16]institution.

[01:18]oak

[01:20]Each humble drawer, too, was beautiful, with sides

[01:24]and front in deliberately contrasting woods linked by

[01:28]dovetails: light oak into rosewood, mahogany into ash.

[01:35]bully

[01:38]So maybe it's not so surprising that Europeans

[01:41]worry. Given Russia's track record of bullying its close

[01:45]neighbors, won't it eventually bully distant ones too?
