GWS beaver
Review of the GWS DHC-2 Beaver ARF [Almost ready to fly]
Well since winter was here and tracks were closing and snow was coming, I thought "what would be a better time to buy a park flyer airplane then now?"
After owning several of the inexpensive airplanes on the market I really wanted to find one that would last past my 1st flight...and 2nd if possible!
So I set out on a quest to find the perfect slow, trainer park flyer I could find and a friend of mine recommended the GWS DHC-2 beaver. I was very skeptical and had never owned a GWS kit but decided to give it a try any way. This airplane is a slow flying park flyer type. It resembles a Piper J3 cub. I did more research on it and found it too be the perfect plane for me. Lets take a closer look.
First impressions.
Upon receiving the beaver I wad boggled, the box was so small and yet it has a 39" wing span. I opened the box and laid every thing out. The fuselage comes in 2 halfs, as does the wing. The construction is EPP foam for the wing and tail sections and a normal reinforced Styrofoam for the fuselage.
Building the kit.
Upon flipping through the instructions I noticed they used bamboo dowels for wing supports, I recommend getting some carbon fiber rod to replace them, and it is MUCH stronger and will keep the wings at a more study angle as opposed to the bamboo. I will note a stock number at the end of this review. Building is easy and very straight forward. Glue it all together! They include a tube of GWS glue which can be used by I opted to use 6-minute epoxy instead. It's much stronger and will dry allot quicker. When I was finished gluing the fuse and tail sections of the kit the instructions then had me put the cowling on, I found that it is actually best to leaving the cowl mounts out and use a staple gun...yes....a staple gun. Just use it all the way around and do it BEFORE you put the cowling on so the decals you put on latter will cover the staples. The staples will be easy to remove should you need to ever take the cowl off.
General comments and flying.
After the building is all done let the epoxy cure for a good 12-24 hours. There are 3 different versions of this kit, one is the slope glider version, which includes the basic air frame but no motor or landing gear, the next includes an "eps-100" power system and landing gear, and the last is the one I used "Eps-350c" power system with landing gear. I HIGHLY recommend getting the EPS-350 due to the superior size of the motor which really helps. It does not mean its fast but you can fly stable at slow speeds with it.
When all building is done it's time to install the electronics, if you fallowed the directions installing your servos should have been the very first step of the kit. but if you have not yet done that [ I did not have them at the time of building] it's fine, just take a marker and trace around your servo for the cut out, then affix the servo to the side of the fuse with some double sided tape. I recommend getting some Dubro easy links for the servos instead of z-bends; they make for adjusting every thing much faster and easier. Then install your receiver and ESC. When you are hooking the servos up to the receiver I recommend putting the rudder and elevator on the right stick, that will be channel 2 for rudder and channel 3 for elevator. You will want your two most useful functions on one stick. After trimming the model and check the COG [center of gravity, crucial in airplanes. Other wise the airplane will learn left right backwards or forwards] which can be found 45-55mm from the leading edge of the wing. After charging the battery it was time to fly. I took it out to a rather large field than had been de-commissioned. I decided for the first flight I would hand launch it rather then do a "rolling off ground" take off. As I launched it into the wind it took off, but was not so fast that I was afraid I was going to crash. It will fly well at 1/3rd to 2/3rd's throttle depending on the wind. I was able to keep it in the air for the entire battery pack. It just floats along and was BY FAR the easiest to fly airplane I have ever flown. I was able to land perfectly. I changed out the battery pack and went again but this with I decided to try a ROG take off. It full throttle and max up elevator and took off in about 6 feet. The beaver is capable of basic aerobatics. Loops, dives, stall turns, But any thing inverted is not really possible due too the dihedral in the wing.
Here are some videos of the madien flight.
The GWS Beaver ARF and by far the best airplane out their for some one wanting to learn how to fly. I have yet to have a crash that totals it beyond belief, and some thing that I find nice about the beaver is if you crash and total it, it will only cost you $26.00 to replace it with the slope glider version, simple transfer all the electronics over to the new one. If you are in the market for a trainer/park flyer airplane Get a GWS beaver, you will not be disappointed.
Added notes.
if you should crack/rip the wing off repairing is easy, simple take a little bit of 6 minute epoxy and hold the breakage together until it cures [not long with 6 minute epoxy...about 6 minutes] and then apply some clear packing tape too the wing. Also, in edition to using CF rod for the wing struts, its a good idea to put a long piece on the elevator, and the stabilizer [non moving part] this will help the elevator not flex. Also it has you glue the wing strut mounts on like this - instead turn them 90 degrees. This will make it MUCH easier to mount the struts. Also you can use 4-40 steel clevises instead of the supplied plastic ones for the strut rod ends.
Dubro e-z connectors
Carbon Fiber rod
Equipment needed
Four to six channel radio with 2 micro servos.
AA size 6 cell 650mah NiCad battery
8-amp esc
Charger for selected battery
Equipemnt we used
Spektrum DX6 6 channel radio with 2 micro servos.
GWS 7-cell 8.4 volt nimh
Duratrax Piranha digital peak charger
> The construction is EPP foam for the wing and tail sections
I thought it was moulded depron? EPP has visible grain, like polystyrene but is more flexible (and much tougher)
What planes are you comparing this against?
epp, depron...what ever...it's syrafoam..lol I get them confused.

A conman sold more than £100,000 of fake footwear from his home in Lancashire, using celebrity names to peddle his wares, a court has heard.
Shaun Morris, 29, flogged hundreds of pairs of counterfeit Ugg and Timberland boots as well as Nike and Puma trainers, imported from China to eBay customers across the country.
Using accounts registered to M Caine, J Malkovic and G Hunt - at fictitious addresses - Morris sold on the footwear with money being passed through bank and PayPal accounts registered to his mother, sister and sister's boyfriend.
Richard Heller, prosecuting, told the jury Jane Morris, 26, and Celia Morris, 59, acted as 'bankers' for Morris's fraudulent business, along with Jane's then-boyfriend Andrew Quinn - who has since admitted his part in the operation.
Both women deny money laundering but Mr Heller said: "There is no doubt that Shaun Morris' counterfeiting business was shrouded in deceit - his accounts were registered in false names with false addresses and he advertised products as being genuine when they were not, but that deceit was a necessary element of being able to successfully sell counterfeit goods.
"What Jane Morris and Celia Morris want you to believe is that like his duped customers who were being sold cheap knock-offs from China, they too were drawn into Shaun Morris' web of deceit."
The scam was uncovered when Trading Standard officers raided the home in Meadowlands, Charnock Richard where Shaun Morris lived with his mother Celia,
Officers discovered 76 pairs of Timberland boots, 53 pairs of Ugg boots, nine pairs of Puma trainers and nine pairs of Nike trainers as well as a small amount of clothing - some packaged and ready to be sent.
Samples were sent off to Nike, Puma, Ugg and Timberland and were confirmed to be fake.
Investigations with eBay and PayPal revealed Morris had been selling counterfeit goods using ten different accounts over an 18 month period.
Once sellers fees and commission had been deducted, the court heard the balance was processed through PayPal accounts held by Jane Morris, Celia Morris and Andrew Quinn.
Quinn, 28, of Leighton Street, South Shields, has pleaded guilty to entering into a money laundering agreement and converting criminal property.
Jane Morris, 26, of Park Mews, Roundhey, Leeds, denies money laundering, along with her mother Celia Morris, 59, of Meadowlands, Charnock Richard.
Jane accepts having allowed her brother to use her eBay and PayPal accounts and having transferred the proceeds to her mother's bank account but claims she believed he was sellling legitimate items.
Celia admits accepting money into her bank account but said she was unaware her son was involved in any criminal activity.
Shaun Morris admits five counts unauthorised use of a registered trademark and three counts of converting criminal property.

A Free School opened summer 2011.
What the parents say...
Before you listen to the above parent stop and think and get all the facts. Ark conway although a new school, are actually doing really well. I think making comments like the above only 2 months after opening is very unfair. The children do reading, english, maths every day, they also do performing arts, p.e on most days, swimming and french, on top of other subjects, so i don@t know where the above parent is getting there information from. All i can say, is that if your child is not ready, maybe you should try also reading at home with them, as they do get 2 books every week to learn, also there flash cards. My child is doing perfectly fine, from starting in september and can already read. Its all about home to school learning, so before going putting horrible untrue messages up look closer too home first.
Commented on 25th Jan 2012
I was exited to learn a new free school was opening in my area. Much to my disappointment, this school is very much like any other council school. If your child is more able chances are, they will be bored and will go unchallenged. A lot of time is spent on play and singing, but not much on reading, math and science. If you are just looking for a space, then Ark Conway is fine, if you are looking for a school that will challenge and help your child reach full potential, this school falls well short of that mark.

PARCC Results
In the coming weeks parents will receive the results of their children's Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC.) These results are for the Spring 2016 English Language Arts and mathematics state assessments in grades 3 to 10. The individualized reports will show how each student performed on the tests, and where those scores fall compared to the average scores for other students in Rhode Island and the district.
The reports will also show whether a student has met the standard in the assessed area, and will identify specific strengths and weaknesses based on the results.Individual students will receive PARCC scores for Mathematics and English-Language Arts. Scores show a student's readiness for college and careers, using the scale belwow:
o Score of 5: Exceeded expectations
o Score of 4: Met expectations
o Score of 3: Approaching expectations
o Score of 2: Partially met expectations
o Score of 1: Did not meet expectations
North Smithfield Schools exceeded the state average at almost every level and showed significant improvement in participation. North Smithfield High School was recognized in the area of mathematics in a press release from the RI Department of Education for improvement: "North Smithfield High School, up 29 points in achievement and 32 points in participation."
Administrators and teachers use this data to inform curriculum and instructional decisions. While we will continue to work towards improving student achievement meeting these more rigorous standards, we are pleased that NS Schools are making improvements. We certainly expect further improvements as we deepen implementation of rigorous standards.

Before Ted Lee and his brother, Matt, became ambassadors of Southern cooking and cookbook authors (the latest is "The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen"), they were just those New Yorkers who moved to Charleston, S.C., as children. Their status as outsiders gave them "a sense of wonder as it relates to the food of Charleston," Ted said. Here's an edited chat with him on how visitors can sample Charleston's cuisine.
What's the one meal visitors must have when they go to Charleston?
A Lowcountry oyster roast. Charleston is a port city, so you had all of these influences coming together: Scots-Irish, Spanish, English, Portuguese, German. The oyster roast is the culinary through line, from the Native Americans to present day. You can try it year-round at Bowens Island. There's a pavilion on stilts over the marsh. On the ground floor oysters are steamed open on a metal sheet over a brick pit. Wood smoke is essential. These cluster oysters come straight from the marsh; they are salty. Sometimes I throw on a little lemon and a shake of Tabasco.
What are some other food traditions?
Tearooms in churches during springtime. It's a misnomer because actually they serve lunch; parishioners cook for church fundraisers. The Post and Courier publishes the dates and times the tearooms are open. This is a classic way to experience that midcentury home cooking you find in "Charleston Receipts," one of the first Junior League cookbooks. It's she-crab soup, a bisque with crab meat, roe and sherry; a pimento cheese sandwich; a Huguenot torte, with apples and pecans, for dessert. They'll also sell homemade jams, and that's a great way to get a souvenir like a hot pepper jelly.
Where else can you find homestyle classics?
The place to start is Martha Lou's Kitchen, a very unassuming place on Morrison Drive. It's fried whiting over grits for breakfast. It's smothered pork chops with long-cooked green beans or lima beans. This is an institution owned 30 years by Martha Lou Gadsden. Dave's Carry-Out on Morris Street is another workaday place that does fried food brilliantly. Whole-fried flounder with hoppin' Johns. This is food that everyone eats in Charleston.

Student Success Story
Student Campaigns for Her Career
For political junkies, it may take one candidate or one campaign to get them hooked for life.
Emma DiMantova '09 realized the significance of this after witnessing the drama and excitement associated with the 2000 Presidential Campaign,
Living and learning in D.C. only furthered those interests for the School of Public Affairs student.
As an intern for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), DiMantova was responsible for conducting opposition research for the presidential campaign, a skill that she cultivated throughout her years as an undergraduate.
Not only did she find her work interesting and rewarding, DiMantova became a valuable member of the DNC team, providing expert-level research and dedication.
In return for all the hard work she put in, the DNC rewarded her with an insider's view on how strategically prepare and support a candidate for the rigors of a long Presidential race.
And with graduation rapidly approaching, DiMantova has her job search in high gear, and is using all those contacts she made at the DNC to her full advantage.

While on the Goldy, we walked, slept, surfed, ate, drank, ran, and partied in them without getting even a hint of a rash. The "Diamond Dobby" anti-rash technology really works. The doubled up o-rings in the waist make for an easy fit after a big meal, too.

Using alternative allergy treaments
BURLINGTON-- For some, the allergy season is ending. For others, the suffering will last for a few more months, if not through the rest of the year.
Most allergy sufferers, whether seasonal or year-round, eventually settle on their own personal methods of dealing with their symptoms. That might include allergy shots, regular medication or a host of other options.
Read the current edition here: http://www.server-jbmultimedia.net/CSI-WalworthCountySunday
But some sneezers and snifflers have found successful alternatives to traditional medications and treatments.
Dr. Bradley Reich of Reich Chiropractic Clinic in South Beloit feels strongly that chiropractic care offers far more than just relief from back pain.
Reich says that he's seen significant improvement in the allergy and asthma symptoms of his patients after chiropractic treatments.
"Allergies are basically a response to a stimulus that can't be handled," Reich said. "Restoring nerve function to certain parts of the body and spine will stimulate the immune system. Your eyes, throat, sinuses and nose all are controlled from the back. If we jump-start that area of the body, the immune system will respond accordingly and bring that area of the body back to balance."
Reich says much of the allergic response is tied to a malfunctioning adrenal gland, and that by correcting and balancing the body, it can help manage symptoms.
"Your adrenal gland helps you control your inflammatory process in the body; allergies are usually due to excessive inflammation," Reich said. "If your adrenals are working properly you can handle allergies."
Although many allergies are inborn, Reich said early chiropractic care can help children fully grow out of their symptoms. Once a month at his clinic he runs a discounted rate for children, $5 per adjustment, to help illustrate the benefits of his treatment.
The benefits of trying chiropractic care over more conventional methods of allergy treatment are simple according to Reich.

Brawn's reserve driver, whose career has never quite taken off despite spells at Minardi, BAR and Super Aguri, said he would try his luck with the Scuderia after watching Ferrari's reserve driver, Luca Badoer, trail home last in yesterday's European Grand Prix to complete a catastrophic weekend for the Italian.
"I will be speaking to Ferrari personally this week to put my name forward," the Englishman said. "Luca was not anywhere near scoring points and that car is capable of doing that.
"I'm ready and I think I'm better. That's not being arrogant. It's just what I believe. I've got the necessary experience that I'll get my chance in Formula One – so why not at Ferrari?"
Badoer, 38, has been the butt of countless jokes at the marina circuit over the last few days. On Friday he racked up fines amounting to more than £5,000 for four separate speeding offences in the pit lane – a tricky feat given the car's inbuilt rev limiter – and in Saturday qualifying he finished dead last, almost three seconds slower than his team-mate, Kimi Raikkonen, prompting some wag to dub him 'Look-how Bad-you-are'.
In Sunday's race Badoer once again raised eyebrows after he appeared to drive over the pit exit line to allow Romain Grosjean through for position, prompting a drive-through penalty and a look of despair from the watching Michael Schumacher, before spinning his car again under no apparent pressure.
Ferrari insisted they would not dispense with the services of someone who has been a loyal servant for more than 10 years.
"I'm sure that we have seen a Luca that has not really shown up, but he has real potential," team principal Stefano Domenicali said. "Apart from the fact he was racing for the first time in a long time, also from a psychological point of view the pressure on him was very high.
"We will speak together. I think we will discuss it tonight but I think it is important to keep up Luca because he is a real team player and this is important in Ferrari."
Asked whether he believed Badoer would be in the car again for Spa, Domenicali replied: "Yes, I think so."
The man they wanted to fill the seat, the former world champion, gave mixed signals yesterday having aborted his recent comeback attempt due to a neck injury.
"For the moment, I don't have any plans to start another attempt to comeback," Schumacher said, but he later added: "I do not want to exclude the possibility that I come back one day. I'm still part of the Ferrari family. You never know what happens. For right now though I have to say: No."
Meanwhile, Suzuka has announced it will host the 2010 Japanese Grand Prix following Fuji's withdrawal, while a separate deal has ensured the European Grand Prix will continue in Valencia for the next five years.

Casabella Clip-on Squeegee
I love my glass shower doors, but I hate cleaning them. Using a simple squeegee after each use helps keep them clean and clear, but that brings up another issue. Where do you put the squeegee? It doesn't exactly sit well with my shampoo bottles, and my problem is, if I don't have it handy in the shower with me, it's "out of sight, out of mind" and I end up with water residue. The clever folks at Casabella have come up with a solution. The unique handle of their silicone squeegee clips onto the showerhead or knob, keeping it close and convenient (and an obvious reminder to clean!)

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Dustin Penner and Shawn Horcoff scored in the third period to rally the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues.
St. Louis got goals from Brad Boyes and Patrik Berglund for a 2-0 lead the first intermission, but would not find the back of the net anymore against Edmonton goalie Dwayne Roloson.
Andrew Cogliano's sixth goal this season made it 2-1 at 15:03 of the second period, and Sheldon Souray's eighth at 18:30 created a 2-2 tie.
Penner (power play) put Edmonton ahead 3-2 just 20 seconds into the final period, and Horcoff's sixth at the 2:59 mark capped the scoring.
Roloson made 27 saves on 29 shots for the Oilers, who had lost six of seven.
Manny Legace was beaten four times on 22 shots for the Blues, who had won three of their previous four outings.
On the power play, Edmonton went 1-for-4, while the Blues went scoreless on four chances.

- A sweep of violent criminals, or deportation scheme? (3-13-2009)
- Republicans' red herring (2-5-2009)
Nevada has stood out during four years of congressional efforts to overhaul immigration law because the state boasts several heavyweight supporters of far-reaching changes in the federal system — the Culinary Union and the hospitality industry, in addition to the highest ranking member of Congress.
Nevada is also home of a key opponent of the most significant change backed by those other heavyweights: Republican Sen. John Ensign, fourth in his party's leadership as chairman of the U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee, which shapes policy on important issues, including immigration.
He wasn't as prominent in June 2007, when he opposed the last comprehensive bill that focused on illegal immigration.
Nevada's other senator, Majority Leader Harry Reid, supported that failed bill, including its key aspect — a path to legalization for many of the nation's estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants. That provision continues to be the sticking point for Ensign.
The prospect of a potentially decisive face-off between the state's highest ranking elected officials is not lost on a local coalition of labor unions, nonprofit organizations and immigration lawyers set to launch a renewed push for change Monday.
The effort draws into focus the unique roles of Nevada's two powerful senators on this international issue and highlights immigration's importance to the state's future.
Monday's announcement in Las Vegas is to include representatives of the 55,000-member Culinary Union and the 11,000-member American Immigration Lawyers Association. About 2,800 members of the lawyers group will be in town next week for their annual convention. Other news conferences are planned for 20 states across the nation, as well, to set the stage for President Barack Obama's June 8 meeting with congressional leaders on the future of immigration law.
Nevada is unique on the national landscape because its main employers and largest union back an approach that includes not just increased border security and expanded visas for workers but amnesty under certain conditions.
A Pew Hispanic Center study estimated that as recently as 2008, Nevada was tops in the nation in the percentage of illegal immigrants in the workforce, with 170,000 workers lacking documentation, or 12.2 percent of the state's total.
Nevada industry and union leaders embraced the comprehensive approach in the 2007 bill for reasons including keeping families of employees together and ensuring a future flow of employees. Reid has responded to the will of those constituents, says Pilar Weiss, the Culinary Union's political director.
Ensign's position is "puzzling," Weiss says.
"He has the same constituents, but has chosen to align himself with the right wing of his party," Weiss says. Neither Ensign nor Reid could be reached for comment.
In a recent televised interview with CNN's John King, Ensign said, "I actually believe ... in comprehensive immigration reform," adding that he would have supported the 2007 bill if the "whole amnesty portion" had been removed — referring to the idea of creating a system allowing those who meet certain requirements to gain legal status.
But if that aspect is removed, "what's left?" said Wendy Sefsaf, spokeswoman for the Immigration Policy Center, a Washington-based research organization.
"What does that achieve? At what time do you deal with the undocumented? When there are 20 million?"
The Republican Party's stance puts it "in a delicate position" with the increasingly important Hispanic electorate in Nevada and nationwide, according to Andres Ramirez, vice president of Hispanic programs at NDN, a Washington, D.C.-based research and advocacy organization.
In Nevada, three of four Hispanic voters supported Obama in the general election, according to exit polls — the second-highest show of support among Hispanics nationwide, after New Jersey. In the same election, Hispanics cast 15 percent of all votes in Nevada, a 50 percent increase compared with 2004's tally.
Immigration, Ramirez said, is a litmus test for Hispanic voters — if they think a candidate, or party, is hostile on the issue, they will show less interest in the candidate's or party's overall platform. This occurred in the 2008 election, analysts say.
So the party could "risk alienating Hispanic voters more" by opposing a comprehensive bill, Ramirez said.
As chairman of the Senate's GOP policy committee, Ensign has recognized the importance of Hispanic voters.
According to a media account of an all-day, private GOP meeting at the Library of Congress this year, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., spoke with colleagues about the issue, attributing his loss in the 2008 presidential race in part to lagging support from Hispanics tied to the immigration issue.
"It was discussed big time," Ensign said afterward to a reporter for The Hill, a Washington, D.C., publication. "We have to reach out to Hispanics. We need to go on Hispanic media much more."
Organizations to be involved in Monday's campaign launch will seek to raise the issue above electoral politics, however. Offering a pathway to legalize undocumented immigrants will help stabilize the economy, by bringing more people onto tax rolls and leveling the playing field for all workers, they say.
In the past, representatives of Las Vegas hotels and restaurants have publicly stated that it would be difficult to continue to staff the valley's hospitality industry without a steady flow of legal immigrant workers.
The position staked out by PLAN, a Nevada coalition of progressive activists, is: "The (immigration) system as it is now doesn't work," said Launce Rake, the group's spokesman. "We want a country that's secure. Nobody wants illegal immigration. We want enough visas for people chasing the American dream and to get beyond demagoguery on this issue."
But practically speaking, putting a broad plan before Congress may turn out to be a showdown between Nevada's two most visible politicians in Washington. Will Reid be more strident in his support this time around? Will Ensign want to continue to brand the GOP as "the party of 'no'," as Sefsaf put it?
Several of those set to participate in Monday's event point to recent polls that indicate national public opinion is increasingly in favor of a broad overhaul of the immigration system.
A late April Washington Post poll reported that 61 percent of people polled support the broad outlines of a plan giving illegal immigrants "the right to live here legally if they pay a fine and meet other requirements," up from 52 percent in June 2007.
The coming months may determine whether that opinion resonates in Congress. Whatever the outcome, the effect will be particularly significant in the Las Vegas Valley.

What? Why do you want to do this? Are Y and Z related in any way?
I am running two regressions, each with the same independent variables but with two different dependent variables.
Y = b1 + b2*X + b3*C (1)
Z = b1 + b2*X + b3*C (2)
I need to find if the difference between the coefficients for X in both regressions are statistically significant. Is there any test for that?
Many thanks.
What? Why do you want to do this? Are Y and Z related in any way?
Yes in way. Y and Z represent a measure of consensus earnings forecasts. However, each one is measured differently. I have found that the coefficient on X is a bit higher for regression (1). I need to know if the difference on X between (1) and (2) is significant.
What are C(1) and C(2) representing? Also, since you were specifying two seperate models in your original post it would be a good idea to call the parameters something different. i.e.
Y = b0 + b1X + b2*C(1)
Z = b3 + b4X + b5*C(2)
Unless you're saying that b0 = b3, b1 = b4 (which is apparently what you're trying to test), and b2 = b5.
My bad, (1) and (2) should be model (1) and (2). It got nothing to do with C per se. I am assuming that b0 = b3 etc. What I am trying to test is whether the coefficient on X (in my case its a measure of quality) is "really" different between model (1) and (2) or are they basically the same. In other words, is X is associated more with Y or Z?
I have looked for a test of this sort and I have found none so far. The best one I got is here http://www.psy.surrey.ac.uk/cfs/p5.htm but it seems that its for different groups rather than different dependent variables.
wouldn't it be better to use a structural equation model then? Then you can bring in both Y en Z as dependent variables in one model instead of two seperate models...
I would suggest multivariate regression, i.e. the dependent is multivariate (bivariate here). the parameters will be the same exactly but the standard errors will differ. Then you canask for the covariances betweeen all the parameters. then assuming normality of the parameters you can work theoretically the probability that a>b. But, also you can do bootstrap (simple or naive, just resample the rows each time) and see how many times a>b, this is an estimate of the probability.
Thinking about your question, I don't think it would be valid to try and consider testing if the coefficients are significantly different for the models. Model 1 says the average change in Y given X and model 2 says the average change in Z given X. Let me give you an example.
How much food I eat is correlated with how much weight I gain. How much food I eat is also correlated with my waist size. However, if I were to set up two models with amount of food eaten as my dependent variable, then 1) the units and magnitudes of the parameter estimate would be completely different, and 2) the inference that I'm drawing from trying to compare them wouldn't make sense.
It could be that I'm just not understanding what you're trying to do clearly. I do welcome more clarity. Perhaps I might be able to help.
I guess it doesnt have any practical benefit for you, but you can investigate R squares, Akaike, Schwarz and Hannan Queen criteria for the comparison, you can do it by E views,the source of the difference is the sample, also you can compare SSE.
It is possible that I don't need to do any test since X is significant for both models but I don't know that and thats why I am asking. Anyhow, here is what I have done and please let me know if it makes sense. I am running my analysis on panel data. So I have performed a yearly regression for 19 years. I counted the number of times that the coefficient on X is higher for model (1) compared to model (2). I got 12/19. Can I use that to support my results?
I think you misunderstood my example. Weight and waist size were the dependent variables (Y and Z). How much you eat is the independent variable (X) that is in both models. X would be interpreted differently in each model.
I think what you're saying is that Y and Z are the same variables but measured through different methods. Let me think about this. I'll get back to you later if you haven't figured it out.
I want to second Masteras' idea to use MANOVA. Its just great idea for this type of thing, it is almost like it was invented for precisely this type of problem?!
Sorry for the thread-o-mancy. I just came across this question via Google. The problem here is one that is often ill addressed in statistics. There are two types of regression comparisons - nested (2 or more groups, same regression), and non-nested (1 group, 2 or more regressions). The op is asking for non-nested regression comparisons. For this you need either STATA or SAS. You need to use either the Vuong or the Clarke Test here. Check the papers by Clarke (2001, 2003) for more here. It's relatively new stuff so that's prob. why it hasn't slipped into common usage yet.

When you stop to think about it, there is an awfully fine line that divides drama from sensationalism; what really distinguishes the former from the latter is all in the tone and emphases of the storytelling. I'm Glad My Mother Is Alive, a 2009 film by French father-son filmmaking team Claude and Nathan Miller (to which we North Americans now have belated access thanks to Strand Releasing), is a very nicely done case in point, despite its teasing-headline title. The story it tells would, on paper, smell like fresh blood to any salivating tabloid hound. But then so would that of Michael Haneke's restrained, provocative Caché (a film that I'm Glad My Mother Is Alive resembles in some striking ways, especially in its building of tension and treatment of violence), and the Millers, like Haneke, have taken the opposite tack of your typical Lifetime movie-of-the-week. That is, they avoid any detached, exploitative sense of rubbernecking someone else's tawdry misfortune, opting instead to keep just the right distance, allowing us to seriously contemplate while remaining absorbed by the film's shocking tale (based on real events) while richly and humanely evoking all the understandable (if misguided) actions and recognizable (if misplaced) emotion that carry it toward its grim culminating event.
It will come as no surprise to anyone even remotely familiar with Freud to learn that the basis of all the turmoil in I'm Glad My Mother Is Alive is not one but two disrupted, tense mother-son relationships. The son in question is Thomas (played at age four by Gabin Lefebvre, at age 12 by Maxime Renard, and at age 20 by Vincent Rottiers), who was old enough to be traumatized and haunted when his mother, Sophie (Julie Martino) gave up custody of him and his little brother, Patrick, a toddler at the time. Patrick is renamed Franēois by Yves and Annie Jouvet (Yves Verhoeven and Christine Citti), the couple that fortunately adopts both children together, and by the time he is a teenager, he's well-integrated and indifferent to having been adopted. Thomas, on the other hand, has a niggling and festering sense of resentment toward both his birth mother and his adoptive parents, particularly the moody, depressive Yves, who in turn resents his adopted son's persistent questions about the woman that gave him up, whom he and his wife never even met. Thomas's insistence on continuing to refer to Franēois as Patrick and his general sullen defiance insult his adoptive parents and eventually lead to his being packed off for boarding school. It is at this point that he takes his first, possibly ill-advised steps toward finding his "real" mother.
Using a structure of temporal layering not unlike that favored by Atom Egoyan (Exotica, The Sweet Hereafter)--especially in his withholding of a chronologically early, emotionally resonant moment between the four-year-old Thomas and Sophie until near the film's end--Miller unfolds Thomas's mother fixation, which at first involves a years-long semi-stalking of Sophie after he locates her and, discovering she's pregnant and has what appears to be a boyfriend or husband in the house, has second thoughts and hesitates. Finally, at age 20, he works up the courage to come to her door with the intention of actually introducing himself to her and his younger sibling, awkwardly but amiably providing the seed of what will bloom into a familial relationship between the three (in the absence of Sophie's custody-sharing, now ex husband). The fact that Sophie lives in an HLM ("habitation ą loyer modéré"--France's rough equivalent to U.S. ghettos' public housing projects or, a truer comparison, the U.K.'s high-rise council estates) is made salient in an eloquently visual way by Miller, who focuses our attention, via Thomas's, on that group of lower-glass buildings on the edge of town as the young man eyes them from the Jouvet's middle-class vehicle. As a struggling garage mechanic with his own personally-motivated distaste for the bourgeois niceties the Jouvets aspire to, the grown Thomas feels some affinity with Sophie's working-class life and surroundings, and he tentatively but steadily begins to occupy a regular place in the home life of his brusque but appealingly laidback mother, who works as a hospital cleaning lady, and her youngest son, who is about the same age Thomas was when she gave him up.
Thomas moves in with Sophie and his little brother, but his position in the family is hardly uncomplicated. There are tensions from the outset, with Sophie's manipulative, irresponsible side pushing Thomas's buttons and rendering her something less redemptive than the idealized, beautiful mom-concept he had unfairly contrasted the Jouvets to. There is also a more unspeakable Oedipal friction (ą la Louis Malle's Murmur of the Heart) between the attractive, sexually liberated mother and the repressed son she did not raise, who can therefore look at her in an erotic way years-long familiarity with a mother figure would tend to limit, and whose obsessions and grapplings with his mothers have evidently precluded any less problematic sexual outlet like dating or girlfriends. These queasy factors mean that the switch from the adoptive family unit to the biological one does quite the opposite of soothing Thomas's jealousies and resentments, which instead simmer to a boil until they are exacerbated by any little thing, making Sophie's apartment a tinderbox for his increasingly unfocused rage.
The Millers' spare, controlled, precise visual style and the remarkably physical realization of the characters (Thomas and Sophie, especially, are people of few words, and Rottiers and Martino play them just right, giving apt, intuitive performances) make I'm Glad My Mother Is Alive into something that carries some significant weight, not just when it comes to its well-framed, appropriately horrifying, entirely unglamorized violence, but also on a larger and more nuanced emotional plane. It would be more accurate to call the filmmakers' restraint discerning than stoical; their observational style taps some admirably deep reserves of empathy and humaneness, and it has clearly been adopted less to dampen our emotional involvement (it doesn't) than to sidestep sentimentality and avoid cheap idealization/demonization of any of the characters. The film disturbs in a way that leaves one alternately shaken and moved, but always empowered to see as much of the picture as possible for oneself, without the intervention of the filmmakers' opinion. It gives us its details in a concrete, unembellished, unhurried way without presuming to excuse or condemn, challenging us to decide for ourselves what really caused the unforgettable violence it depicts and what might have been done to prevent it. It's a rare sort of true-crime movie--one whose dedication to a close and forthright examination of the crime, its perpetrator, and its victim is refreshingly free of any falsely comforting, simplistic claims to have thereby figured out and boiled down its complex truth(s) .
This very fine transfer (presenting the film anamorphically at its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio) captures all the interplay of color, light, and shade in cinematographer Aurélien Devaux's melancholy, naturalistic images, with no aliasing or other compression artifacts to speak of.Sound:
The Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack (in French with English subtitles) is absolutely free of any sonic flaws, and precisely clear and true to all the aural layers and their cumulative sense of sonic space. An excellent job of conveying the film's sparse but nuanced (almost entirely score-free, but with plenty of ambient sound contributing to the film's realist mode) sound design.Extras:
Just the film's theatrical trailer, alongside several others for Strand titles also available on DVD.FINAL THOUGHTS:
An unsensationalistic telling of a sensational true-crime story, Claude and Nathan Miller's I'm Glad My Mother Is Alive has a serious and respectful attitude toward its tragic events and the damaged people involved that comes through in its attentive, observant composure, clear-eyed compassion, and unblinking look at an unfathomable act of violence. It poses some sticky questions about the maternal bond, its deep-running, potentially quite disturbing influence, and the unpredictable extremity of the emotions it can give rise to, but does not presume to figure them out for us. What makes the film so engaging, convincing, and well worth seeking out is thus not any sense of comfort or closure a lesser (or at least more conventional) movie might feel obligated to provide in the face of the sudden, shocking, yet entirely believable crime it depicts. It is instead the rigorous intelligence it brings to its observations, its aesthetic and narrative conscientiousness, that give I'm Glad My Mother Is Alive the emotional power of a finely wrought drama and the visual, aural, and structural beauty of a truly gratifying cinematic experience. Highly Recommended.

Horrific violence at a French amateur game, fans attack with baseball bats, pick-axes & knives
Several French websites are circulaing footage from the beginning of the month, showing horrific scenes of violence at an amateur match.
The match between Ivry and Val de Fontenay came to a standstill midway through the second half when fans wielding baseball bats, shovels and tear gas stormed the pitch.
Other weapons were also used in the carnage including pick-axes and knives.
Several men were arrested as a result of violence and supporting video evidence.
Footage of the outrageous fight can be seen below.

The first Super Bowl is over now and Pat Summerall, microphone in hand, is standing in the winning locker room and waiting to go on the air. Packer fullback Jim Taylor, Coke can in hand, is there next to him, and suddenly the voice of CBS director Bob Dailey shouts into Summerall`s headset. ``Tell him to get rid of that Coke can,`` Dailey snaps.
``Well,`` recalls Summerall, ``I wasn`t about to tell that to a guy who just won the first Super Bowl. I`m not going to say that to Jim Taylor. Besides, it was hot in there. Our lights weren`t as sophisticated as they are now and everyone`s sweating. There`s sweat rolling off me and through my CBS blazer. It`s so bad Taylor turns to me and says, `God almighty. You look like you played, not me. Want some of this?` I go, `Yeah. Super.` This is going to be my salvation, my relief, and I take a giant swig out of the can. Well, unbeknownst to me, Taylor has filled it about half-full with whiskey and it`s like a fire going down. I`m gagging, choking, then I hear, `Ten seconds to air.` That`s what you mean when you talk about pressure.``

Rooney's World Cup in jeopardy
Sven-Goran Eriksson must now decide whether to take the biggest gamble of his time as England manager after it was confirmed Wayne Rooney will be out for six weeks after breaking his foot at Stamford Bridge.
Rooney was stretchered off during Manchester United's 3-0 defeat by Chelsea, having suffered the injury in a challenge for possession with Paulo Ferreira.
And, despite the reassurances of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who claimed after the game he had been told by United staff Rooney was `okay', the initial fears as Rooney was taken down the tunnel have now been confirmed.
'Wayne Rooney has fractured the base of the fourth metatarsal on the right foot and he will be out for six weeks,' said United in a short statement tonight.
Rooney travelled back to Manchester with his team-mates before heading straight to a private hospital in nearby Whalley Range, where the precise extent of his injury was diagnosed.
And, with England's opening World Cup game against Paraguay on June 10 exactly six weeks away, Eriksson's dilemma is now obvious.
When Rooney fractured the fifth metatarsal on the same foot in the Euro 2004 quarter-final defeat to Portugal, it was 10 weeks before he played again.
Such a lengthy absence would render it pointless taking the 20-year-old to Germany this summer given the obvious loss of fitness.
However, Rooney is such a key figure in an England side widely tipped to challenge for the trophy, Eriksson may deem it a risk worth taking him even though the former Everton star will definitely miss the final two matches of Manchester United's domestic programme and England's pre-tournament friendlies against Hungary and Jamaica.
Eriksson has previously indicated he would be prepared to take such a risk if one of his more important players was injured in the build-up to the tournament.
To this England side, they do not come more important than Rooney, although any decision to take the youngster to Germany would have to be made in consultation with United's medical staff - and Ferguson - to whom the former Everton man is equally important.
Even to consider letting Rooney join up with England, the United boss would require cast-iron guarantees the player's long-term fitness would not be put at risk.
Eriksson has already pledged to name a 26-man squad on May 8 before cutting three names from the list on the final FIFA deadline-day a week later.
Without receiving further clarification from United, it would be a major surprise if Rooney was not in the original party, before Eriksson then decides the precise make-up of his squad.

I personally own Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL[1]) stock … but I'm sad to say I wasn't smart enough to buy it years ago. I jumped on the bandwagon very recently, buying in at $550 during the spring malaise on the prospect that Apple stock would bounce back strongly.
It has — pushing new all-time highs near $700 now. But I have to wonder how much more Apple has to run, and whether it might be prudent to take some money off the table.
The question is similar but slightly different for new money. The big question is, "Do you keep buying AAPL stock and risk a top, or do you move on to other things?"
Let's briefly explore the arguments for and against Apple stock right now:

Foreign Direct Investment in a Small Open Economy and Global Trade Liberalization in Agriculture: A Note
In a production structure reasonable for a developing economy this note shows that there may arise a conflict between the worldwide liberalized trade policies in agriculture, which raise the price of the economy's primary exportable commodity, and the inflow of foreign capital into the economy. However, if the economy strictly adheres to the different facets of the agricultural trade liberalization policies, e.g. the removal of the indirect farm subsidies, the paper argues that the possible conflict may be avoided. The paper provides a theoretical basis for the removal of the farm subsidies if the economy wants to develop its technologically more advanced sectors with an adequate supply of foreign capital.

text: Paul Byrd, Fox Sports/Sports South Braves Analyst, joins the show to preview the 2014 Braves season. He discusses some of the new players worth to keeping an eye on for the Braves this season. He spoke in dept on what he expects from the pitching staff this season and what improvements he expects from the Braves offense. Jason & Randy had a little fun with Paul to find out which opening day in sports is his favorite outside of the obvious. We closed the conversation with the questions of "if he would pitch with protective head gear if was still pitching, and his baseball superstition before every game". Paul's excitement for the Atlanta Braves actually made me excited to watch the team this year!
