What a buildup.

I'm gonna give her a big buildup.

And this sequence shows the buildup of that model.

You can see the calcium buildup on the head of the poporo gourd.

These coatings may have application to preventing biofilm buildup in a number of commercially important areas.

How'd you like a terrific buildup before the show that'll have every TV set tuned into you next Sunday?

You know, you tap into that those deeper, sort of, psychological, emotional, spiritual currents, and you get a better orgasm with the buildup.

December saw a buildup of arms attacks on positions, including air attacks raids on small towns and villages increased banditry and more looting.

And from 1949 to 1985 was an extraordinary time of a buildup of a nuclear arsenal that no one could possibly have imagined back in the 1940s.

NASA initiated this research to control or prevent the buildup of medically harmful microorganisms in the air, water, and trace contaminant control systems of long duration on crewed spacecraft.

Since then, oil has fuelled an Azeri military buildup. So the government in Baku is far more prepared to respond to renewed warfare than it was in the 1990 s.

Preliminary results (independently confirmed by the Center for Biofilm Engineering at Montana State University) show a 50 to 90 percent reduction in buildup of a common biofilm forming organism when the coating is applied to plastics or metal.

Maybe then we'd spend less time worrying about serial killers and plane crashes, and more time concerned with the subtler and slower disasters we face the silent buildup of plaque in our arteries, the gradual changes in our climate.

The prescription for what ails the global economy follows directly from the diagnosis strong government expenditures, aimed at facilitating restructuring, promoting energy conservation, and reducing inequality, and a reform of the global financial system that creates an alternative to the buildup of reserves.

Yet the reinterpretation has faced some resistance at home and abroad. Chinese critics, in particular, have expressed concern that Japanese militarism could reemerge, though they neglect to mention that it is China s military buildup that prompted Japan s government to reassess its national defense policy.

Such preventive measures are all the more important in view of the Great Inflation s second relevant lesson fiscal discipline is essential to price stability. Sustaining a high budget deficit over many years will lead to an unmanageable debt buildup, unless that debt is inflated away or restructured.

Critics who worry about the cost of the energy tax have not thought about tax substitutions. They also do not seem to realize that an energy tax is a much cheaper way for Europe to protect itself from Iran and Russia than alternative means, such as a defense buildup.

Others emphasize a buildup of combustible materials. The nature of such fuel accumulations runs the gamut, including swamp drainage in Indonesia, rainforest destruction in Amazonia, self thickening woods in American wildlands as a result of fire exclusion, and everywhere the intrusion of urban sprawl and fire prone houses.

Bank of America performed poorly on the US Federal Reserve s financial stress tests, and regulators criticized Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase s financing plans, leading both to lower their planned dividends and share buybacks. And Citibank s hefty buildup of its financial trading business raises doubts about whether it is controlling risk properly.

As the huge buildup of dollar reserves now almost 800 billion expands China s domestic monetary base, short term interest rates will be driven down, at least until they hit zero. In May 2006, the fairly free domestic interbank rate was just 1.62 , while the US Federal Funds rate was 5 .

The final problem contributing to weakness in global aggregate demand was emerging markets massive buildup of foreign exchange reserves partly motivated by the mismanagement of the 1997 98 East Asia crisis by the International Monetary Fund and the US Treasury. Countries recognized that without reserves, they risked losing their economic sovereignty.

The coming years, indeed decades, will be characterized by an increasingly aggressive US Chinese dualism as China becomes stronger and America s weakness persists. While this rivalry will have a military component, as evidenced by China s enormous military buildup, it will manifest itself primarily in terms of economic, political, and normative spheres of influence.

BERLIN There can be little reasonable doubt today that the People s Republic of China will dominate the world of the twenty first century. The country s rapid economic growth, strategic potential, huge internal market, and enormous investment in infrastructure, education, and research and development, as well as its massive military buildup, will see to that.

In short, China s regional exceptionalism has landed it in a strategic trap. It is unwilling to accept American leadership in Asia but it is also reluctant to assume a more prominent role in promoting regional integration, fearing the concomitant pressure for more economic liberalization, adherence to international norms and rules, and a more transparent approach to its military buildup.

Israel provides electricity, water, and passage to Gaza, but also maintains a siege intended to prevent imports of larger, more lethal weapons. Israeli leaders were aware of Hamas s buildup of medium range missiles, mostly smuggled through Sinai in underground tunnels, but continue to argue that, absent the siege, Iran and others would supply more (and more sophisticated) weapons.

But, in many areas, the Tohoku tsunami overflowed and even destroyed these protective structures including the seawall at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in northern Honshu. As a result, the plant s three active reactors suffered near meltdowns, leading to a buildup of hydrogen gas, a series of explosions and fires, and leakage of radioactive material into the atmosphere.

NEW YORK I first met Robert McNamara, the US Secretary of Defense who presided over the American buildup in Vietnam, in the summer of 1967. I had just returned from a trip to South Vietnam, where, as a reporter for The New Yorker, I witnessed the destruction, by American air power, of two provinces, Quang Ngai and Quang Tinh.

The risk today is not imminent crisis, but rather that the capital flows arising from the global boom will not be well managed, leading to the buildup of vulnerabilities. So the danger is that, when the party ends and it is hard to know when that will be a lot of mopping up will need to be done.

Despite his confusing signals, Ozawa s stance is neither pro China nor anti American, given that he most recently emphasized Japan s sovereignty over the Senkaku islands as an integral part of its territory a position that China strongly disputes. Logically, Ozawa s approach involves a significant military buildup, but he remains silent about how to maintain effective deterrence once the US Marines leave Okinawa.

BERLIN On February 18, crucial negotiations over Iran s nuclear program began in Vienna between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany (the P5 1). The alternative to the talks is a further nuclear buildup by Iran, followed by additional international sanctions and, eventually, another war in the Middle East, which no one believes can resolve the problem.

In Asia, China s military buildup and increasingly assertive approach in pursuing its territorial claims in the South and East China seas which overlap with claims by Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Vietnam is raising concerns among its regional neighbors. It does not help that China s economic growth, which provided a powerful boost to the region s smaller economies in recent decades, has slowed considerably.

Financial re regulation should and will emphasize capital, reserve, and margin requirements limiting systemic risk buildup by constraining leverage eliminating fragmented and incomplete regulatory coverage and regulatory arbitrage (a huge challenge internationally) and a focus on transparency. Isolating and further constraining a portion of the banking system, so that the channels of credit intermediation are less prone to complete and simultaneous breakdown, also seems likely.

TOKYO President Hu Jintao s visit to Washington is coming at an increasingly tense moment in Sino American relations. Indeed, mesmerized by China s vast military buildup, a new constellation of strategic partnerships among its neighbors, and America s revitalized commitment to Asian security, many shrewd observers suggest that 2010 saw the first sparks of a new Cold War in Asia. But is Cold War II really inevitable?

Likewise, the Philippines locked in a stand off with China over the disputed Scarborough shoal has set aside its resentment over Japan s wartime occupation and accepted increased aid and naval assistance, including ten patrol vessels, worth 11 million each, to help with maritime surveillance. Filipino Foreign Minister Albert del Rosario has even declared publicly that the country would welcome a more muscular Japanese defense policy to offset China s military buildup.

Provided that there is no recurrence of the severe external demand shock of 2008 a likely outcome unless Europe implodes there is good reason to hope for a soft landing to around 8 GDP growth. A downshift to this more sustainable pace would provide welcome relief for an economy long plagued by excess resource consumption, labor market bottlenecks, excess liquidity, a large buildup of foreign exchange reserves, and mounting inflationary pressures.

From time to time, US public sentiment has opposed playing an active role in the world and fulfilling our commitments to allies and, indeed, to the cause of freedom. In the early 1970 s, as US ambassador to NATO, I remember having to fly back from Europe to testify against legislation in our Congress that would have pulled US troops out of Western Europe and NATO, just as the Soviet Union was in the midst of a huge military buildup.
