 :D  oh - sorry - the problem was that I don't know how to calculate the intraclass correlation from a logistic model, given the info that SAS prints out.

But I figured out that if you take the intraclass correlation from the corresponding linear model and apply it to the variance from the logistic model, you get a value that is 2 times the correct standard error.

I don't yet know why it works, but it does work, so that's pretty cool     ;D ;D :D

Don't feel lonely, Jess...I can define all those words on their own, but put together it feels like one big jumble!  Maybe Aleve will help. ;)
