      Norm Preston, Mathematics and Statistics, BGSU 
      "Bayesian residual-based model checking"
      Abstract: Statistical modeling has become one of the main tools
        in science and industry.  By using these models, data can be
        analyzed and inferences can be made about the population in
        which the data came from.  In this talk, the Bayesian approach
        to generalized linear models will be presented.  In
        particular, Bayesian residuals used in the selection and
        criticism of these models will be examined.  Additionally, the
        Bayesian and Classical statistics approach to residual-based
        model checking will be compared.

      Anthony B. Evans, Wright State University
      "Mutually orthogonal latin squares based on groups"
      Abstract: One way to construct sets of mutually orthogonal Latin
        squares (MOLS) is to start with the multiplication/addition
        table of a finite group and create further squares by
        permuting its columns.  In this talk we will examine some
        simple classes of permutations that have been used in the
        construction of MOLS and maximal sets of MOLS.
