Dear All (apologies for any cross-posting)
1) The Centre for Multilevel Modelling would like to announce our latest
MLwiN release - 2.21. Some minor bug fixes have been introduced, e.g: Fixed
offset display; Fixed crash when saving worksheets containing an MCMC run
that had been loaded from a previous version. For further details of the
bug fixes go to http://www.cmm.bristol.ac.uk/MLwiN/bugs/fixes.shtml.

2) We have published two new on-line audio-visual presentations: "Random
Intercept Models" and "Random Slope Models". Further details of these
and our other audio-visual presentations can be found here:

3) In October the University of Bristol hosted Harvard's Professor Don
Rubin giving "Causal Inference" talks - Further details and download the

4) Two-Day Course on Multilevel Modelling presented by the Centre for
Multilevel Modelling's Harvey Goldstein and George Leckie, at the Royal
Statistical Society in London (www.rss.org.uk). Download further details

5) We have been compiling a Tribute Book for our late and much-missed
colleague Jon Rasbash. The aim is to collect memories of him in his
professional life, whether of collaborating with him, encountering him at
a conference, attending one of his workshops, or even just having been
influenced by his research. We want to preserve both an idea of the impact
of his work but also a sense of what he was like personally. The finished
Tribute Book will be given to his family, and a copy will also be kept at
CMM. More details about the Tribute Book, including where to send
submissions, can be found here:
http://www.cmm.bristol.ac.uk/team/jon.shtml#tribute. The deadline for
contributions is the end of this year.
With very best regards,
