This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications PARTICULATE FLOWS: PROCESSING AND RHEOLOGY is based on the proceedings of a very successful one-week workshop with the same title, which was an integral part of the 1995-1996 IMA program on "Mathematical Methods in Materials Science." We would like to thank Donald A. Drew, Daniel D. Joseph, and Stephen L. Passman for their excellent work as organizers of the meeting. We also take this opportunity to thank the National Science Foun dation (NSF), the Army Research Office (ARO) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR), whose financial support made the workshop possible. A vner Friedman Robert Gulliver v PREFACE The workshop on Particulate Flows: Processing and Rheology was held January 8-12, 1996 at the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus as part of the 1995- 96 Program on Mathematical Methods in Materials Science. There were about forty participants, and some lively discussions, in spite of the fact that bad weather on the east coast kept some participants from attending, and caused scheduling changes throughout the workshop. Heterogeneous materials can behave strangely, even in simple flow sit uations. For example, a mixture of solid particles in a liquid can exhibit behavior that seems solid-like or fluid-like, and attempting to measure the "viscosity" of such a mixture leads to contradictions and "unrepeatable" experiments. Even so, such materials are commonly used in manufacturing and processing."

In Conventional and Ultimate Truth, Joseph Stephen O'Leary completes his trilogy on contemporary fundamental theology, which began with the volumes Questioning Back (1985) and Religious Pluralism and Christian Truth (1996). Common to all three works are dialogues with European philosophers Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, G. W. F. Hegel, and the Madhyamaka school of Buddhism. In the current volume, O'Leary deals with the nature of theological rationality today, recommending the practice of reflective judgment, as opposed to systematic determinative judgment. Inspired by the Buddhist notion of conventional truth, O'Leary claims that if we fully accept the fragility and conventionality of religious language, we can find a secure basis for a critical, reflective theology. This proposal is fleshed out in a dialogue with classical negative theology and with the implications of twentieth-century art and literature for religious epistemology. Embracing conventionality does not mean that the dimension of ultimacy is lost. The two are intimately conjoined in the Buddhist two-truths doctrine. Revisiting traditional sites of theological ultimacy, such as the authority of scripture and Christian dogma and the appeal to religious experience, O'Leary argues that we do justice to them only when we fully accept the conventionality of their historical articulation. By relating these traditions of thought to one another, O'Leary produces a new model for contemporary fundamental theology, one that will positively refocus and revitalize the field.

We've Lost Our Way The family is disintegrating, the church perceived as irrelevant and our personal faith reduced to denominational conformance. Meanwhile, atheism, Islam and New Age religions are on the rise. We need more than inspiration, we need another reformation and you need to be part of it. What is true Christianity? What is the church meant to be like? How is the Christian family supposed to function? How can we make a difference which will yield lasting fruit? It is time to discard the mountains of man's traditions and seek answers from God Himself. After all, man's methods and wisdom, apart from God, have proven a failure throughout history. Find out the key to personal, family, church and national revival from the one who wrote The Book. If you care about your personal relationship with God, the multigenerational faithfulness of your family and the relevance of your church in an increasingly hostile world, this book is essential reading. JOSEPH STEPHEN was born again when he was seven. Being totally blind, he only owned one book, a Braille Bible which he treasured. He has sat under the diverse teaching of most of the major denominations as well as several non-denominational gatherings, which has given him a unique opportunity to examine many practices in light of Holy Scripture. He has served as a deacon in two local churches, and regularly speaks at churches and other events. He works from home as a software engineer where he and his wife disciple their eight children.

The discovery of a body floating in New York City's East River leads to the re-opening of the murder of Lacy Wooden, an aspiring young dancer. As NYPD Lieutenant James Francis Moran and his team follow each clue, they are brought face-to-face with some of the city's most influential powerbrokers. As each layer of the case is peeled away, the secret life of each of these individuals is revealed, as well as their mutually unbeknown connection to the deceased woman.

Finding the murderer against this backdrop of characters, while at the same time not ruffling feathers, is a fine line Moran must walk. This, and dealing with a gravely ill wife and his own personal issues, all add up to what seems to be an insurmountable task for the detective.

For 2 million years, humans evolved to eat a certain way: in the hunter/gatherer style, which consists of snacking on plant foods while roaming around before hunting and consequently filling themselves with animal meat. For the last few thousand years, however, our culture has forced us into a diet that is contrary to this. As a result, it is increasingly difficult to eat the way we were designed to eat. JSB Morse's Evolution Diet explores this modern problem and how to adjust our diet to fix it. In the book, you'll find a thoughtful, often funny, survey of the makeup of the human body, contributing factors to our diet (such as culture), and an easy-to-grasp explanation of what exactly we should eat. You'll also find over 50 recipes for tasty Evolution Diet foods. This book will help you become the healthy and happy person you've always known you can be. It's time to evolve!
