The guest editors will be Richard Davis and Thomas Mikosch. It will consist of a series of invited papers that will provide a glimpse at future directions in probability and statistics from new application areas, to the development of new models, to the emerging interfaces between statistics and probability with other sciences, as well as essays on the future of probability and mathematical statistics. It will be in addition to the four numbers of the annual volume and will have electronic public open access. * Bernoulli News: We would like to remind you that the deadline for submitting material to be published in the next issue of Bernoulli News is March the 31st. Due to a rather tight production schedule material reaching us later can only be included in the next issue. 2.- NEWS FROM STANDING COMMITTEES * Link for SLAPEM at the BernSoc website http://www.bernoulli-society.org/index.php/organization/slapem/home * Link for the European Regional Committee http://www.bernoulli-society.org/index.php/organization/erc/home 3.- EVENTS * Young European Probabilists Workshop (YEP), EURANDOM, The Netherlands, March 14-18, 2011.
