confinement fusion implosions. In San Antonio, David Youngs (Aldermaston, UK) will show that 3D simulations of Rayleigh-Taylor instability have made major advances in understanding this process over the last decade.

COMPLEX FLUIDS ON THE MICRO-SCALE
"Microfluidics" seeks to observe the flows of liquids and gases in tiny silicon, glass, or plastic systems, and it has lots of exciting applications and industrial challenges. In San Antonio, Patrick Tabeling (MMN-ESPCI, Paris) will discuss experiments he and his colleagues have carried out over the last three years to measure microscopic fluid slip and flow along walls, study complex fluids, and observe the dynamical behavior of tiny droplets in microfluid channels.

2) BRIEF HIGHLIGHTS OF SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
The following is a sampling of some of the 1,522 abstracts to be presented at the meeting.

TIDES AND WINDS
The role of tides in moving ocean water on Earth or triggering volcanos on Io or holding the Moon's face perpetually toward Earth is well studied; a new study looks at the role of tides in driving winds on planets and stars.
