Combines Bayesian decision theory and the theory of Markov chains by establishing a theoretical structure for Markov chains in which the transition probabilities are uncertain. Both sequential sampling and fixed sample size problems are considered. The development is largely theoretical, including questions of both existence and convergence. Problems of numerical computation are treated as they arise.

In many ways the 1990s may be reminiscent of the 1950s, with the United States searching for strategies to deal with an entirely new set of security problems. This premise underlies this festschrift written by distinguished colleagues of Albert and Roberta Wohlstetter. It is a tribute to the Wohlstetters and to their pioneering work at RAND in the 1950s, as well as an up-to-date examination of security issues of the 1990s.

A shocking tale of secrets, guilt, and clerical child abuse. "God has made you special, but I will show you how to have an extraordinary life. Show you true love, as God intended for our kind." It's 1978. Blackburn Hamlet is a typical suburban village in eastern Ontario. In this vibrant Catholic community, life revolves around family and church. Then the safe comfort of both is destroyed by the arrival of a predator priest. When charismatic Father Sweet invites his new favourite altar boy on a camping trip, the boy's parents insist he go. Trapped in the woods, the boy struggles to evade the priest's sexual advances. But Father Sweet forces him to make an impossible choice. Twenty-five years later, he is lost, broken, and angry. His father's death reveals secrets that spur the man to relive his own past. Desiring justice, in need of healing, he discovers, in a daring rescue mission, a way to achieve both.
