[00:01]stoop

[00:02]In youth-oriented movies and books, the guy like me

[00:06]often has a huge crush on a specific blond cheerleader who

[00:10]doesn't know he exists and would never stoop to talking to him.

[00:15]troop

[00:17]This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks

[00:21]and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in the

[00:24]troops in their contention over a dam on the Danube.

[00:30]sudden

[00:32]Yet, dramatic instances of sudden forgetting can be

[00:35]seen to be adaptive. In this sense, the ability to forget

[00:39]can be interpreted to have survived through a process of

[00:42]natural selection in animals.

[00:45]burden

[00:47]As the battle enters its final stage in Washington, a

[00:50]rebellion is taking shape in the states, which are alarmed

[00:53]about the new financial burdens they will face in a

[00:57]revamped system.

[01:00]sweat

[01:02]Everyone knows what to expect once they reach the

[01:05]phalanx of soldiers waiting for them on the other side

[01:09]of the barrier: namely, blood, sweat and teargas, and an

[01:13]hour of each side baiting the other before the crowd is

[01:17]dispersed and hostilities cease for another week.

[01:21]feat

[01:23]Allenby was trying to win his third consecutive

[01:26]tournament on three tours, a feat believed to have never

[01:29]been accomplished, and he gave himself every chance.

[01:33]threat

[01:35]Massive one-time borrowing to stave off a once a

[01:38]century economic threat is one thing. Obama's

[01:42]projections of $500 billion-plus deficits for years to come

[01:47]are quite another.
