Hausman test
Hausman test which usually accepted method of selecting between random and fixed effects which is running on regression equation. Hausman (1978) provided a tectonic change in interpretation related to the specification of econometric models. The seminal insight that one could compare two models which were both consistent under the null spawned a test which was both simple and powerful. The so-called ‘Hausman test’ has been applied and extended theoretically in a variety of econometric domains. We focus on the construction of the Hausman test in a variety of panel data settings, and in particular, the recent adaptation of the Hausman test to semi-parametric and nonparametric panel data models. A formal application of the Hausman test is given focusing on testing between fixed and random effects within a panel data model. Mostly fixed effects are accepted way to run with panel data as they always present consistent outcomes but may not be the most effective way to implement. On the other hand, random effects usually provide to the researcher better P-values as it considered to be a more active estimator, so researcher can study random effects if it is reasonable to do so. Moreover, Hausman test choose a more effective model compared to a less efficient as consistent model should presents robust estimates and consistent results owing to the more efficient model.

Summer is a great time during the year to buy a house. First time home buyers can enjoy many great offers on buying a house with many options to chose from. Steve Jobs once said “If you have not found it yet, keep looking. Do not settle. As with all matters of the heart, you will know it when it comes”. The most important thing to considered when buying a house is its location. Depending on its location, houses can vary from prices, home security and privacy. The city of Kingwood can be considered a good place to buy a home for those willing to pay high prices for it, but the city of Huffman is a better place to buy a house rather than Kingwood for several reasons.

Early 1990’s was a difficult time, especially for the south central. During 1991 and 19992 was the worst record for crime; the murder rate was the highest in LA in history. There were about 1077 murders many of which came from gang violence in south central. The match that set off the 1992 LA Riots. Was the videotape of Rodney King being brutally beaten by five police officers, as well as the murder of Latasha Harlins in 1991. The officers were found not guilty by a mostly white jury, so the African American grew angry and disappointed. The Korean woman who killed Latasha didn’t serve jail time, which caused a deep strain on the relationship between Korean and Africans.

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of 1837, the first higher education institution for African Americans was founded on February 25th given the name Institute for Colored Youth (originally the African Institute). After changing its name again to Cheyney University of Pennsylvania and moving to Delaware County, Pennsylvania, it continues as the oldest predominantly African American school of higher learning. The institute was founded by Richard Humphreys, a Quaker philanthropist who donated 10,000 dollars to establish a school that would educate young African American male and females the skills needed to become more competitive in the job market (Conyers, 1990). The school taught basic subjects such as math, reading and writing, as well as agriculture and mechanics.

It seems that this isn't a great day for the Green Bay Packers. You know why? It's because the former No. 1 pick Sam Bradford has one of his best games right now. Even though that his career was on a roller coaster ride, Sam didn't give up and proved to them why he was picked #1 overall. This is the result when the Vikings beat the Packers in a complete upset. He started his first game with for the Vikings after his offseason was considered "tumultuous". It all began when he signed an extension with the Philadelphia Eagles, only that he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings afterwards. It's something that he really didn't expect, especially that he was the former #1 draft pick. The trade happened 8 days before the start of the season. He admitted that he was struggling to find his true form, until he has some swagger last night when he outsmarted and outplayed Aaron Rodgers.
When assessing the tradeoffs between suppressing drug use/abuse versus the creation of illicit crime, we see that there are many benefits as well as costs. If policymakers are trying to suppress drug use/abuse, then they will create policies specifically targeting the 20% of the users that consume 80% of the drugs, in other words targeting those who are heavy substance abusers. The benefits in suppressing drug use/ abuse is that we see a reduction in the number of alcohol/drug-related deaths as well as a reduction in addiction to drugs with a high capture rate. For example, according to Philip J Cook, “A Free Lunch,” an increase in federal alcohol taxes could provide everyone expect the alcohol abusers with a net financial gain, which indicates that the higher the taxes, the more likely they will decide not to drink as much. However, while this may be effective for alcohol it doesn’t mean that the same measures of suppression could be effective for other drugs. If we decide to implement higher taxes for cigarettes, then we will see an increase in illicit tobacco markets (as stated in “Unintended Consequences of Cigarette Production, Regulation, and Taxation). When deciding to suppress drug use/ abuse, policies must be tailored specifically to one drug or else we will be causing more harm than
CORNING (WENY) - Have you ever thought about what you'd do if put in that situation? Between 2000 and 2013, more than a thousand people in the United States were killed or wounded from an active shooter situation.

Local retired state Police officer Tom Huffman says it's the surrounding public who are the real first responders, which is why it's our job to know how to respond to an active shooter situation.

A freedman or freedwoman is a former slave who has been released from slavery, usually by legal means. Historically, slaves were freed either by manumission (granted freedom by their owner) or emancipation (granted freedom as part of a larger group). The life of a freedman changed in the years 1865 through 1896 in many different ways. Socially the amounts of segregation intensity increased dramatically. Politically freedman could vote, there was what's known as “The African American Congress”, and the 15th amendment was created. Economically sharecropping was growing in popularity.
