DEVILS DEN STATE PARK....

Lee Creek Valley, a picturesque setting in northwest Arkansas's Ozarks Mountains--ancient sedimentary mountains renowned for their natural beauty and lush oak-hickory forest--was selected as a park site in the 1930s. The Civilian Conservation Corps used native materials to craft the park's CCC/Rustic style wood and stone structures including an impressive native stone dam that spans Lee Creek in the heart of the park forming peaceful 8-acre Lake Devil. Rental canoes, tandem kayaks, pedal boats and water bikes are available at the park.

Hiking, backpacking, and mountain bike trails lead to backcountry areas of Devil's Den State Park and the surrounding Ozark National Forest.

NWA Information

Anyone selling a home in the past year has likely suffered through some pretty stormy markets, but economists say a break in the clouds may be on the way.

That's because the highly anticipated "real estate bubble" that began deflating in mid-2005 has been losing air for the past year and a half, and may finally be out of air. And while some markets suffered through some deep slumps, forecasters are now predicting the worst may be over.

"It appears we are getting very close to bottom," says David Lereah, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors.

"Sales have hovered for the last four months, scratching bottom and then coming up, scratching bottom and coming up again. We are comfortable this is now the bottom," he says.

But before you put away that umbrella, it might be best to check your local forecast; scattered showers may persist in certain markets for at least another year.

Over the past few months, Lereah says 75 percent of the nations housing market have expanded. Unfortunately, the ones that are still falling are posting losses large enough to bring the national numbers down with them.

"So, you can't generalize. You can't say 'We are in this sharp recession,' when it is only 25 percent of the markets that are losing ground," Lereah says.

Driving factors
What makes the current housing slump so hard to forecast is that the factors driving the contraction are different than those driving past slowdowns, says Dave Seiders, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders.

"You have to put this in context," he says. "This is not a downswing connected to a recession. This one is special because the drivers are unusual."

In previous contractions, the entire economy hit a bumpy patch and mortgage rates were in double digits, Lereah says.

"This is not the case now," he says.

The primary problem now plaguing the housing market is one of oversupply, rather than a general economic malaise. In general, the markets that are suffering the most now are the ones that benefited the most during the run-up in prices.

"Markets that boomed in the last five years boomed too much, and now they are coming down," Lereah says. 

Prices were high, and builders responded by adding a flood of new homes to the market. When prices continued to rise, investors saw potential and bankrolled even more homes. When buyers stopped buying, the markets that flew the highest had the farthest to fall.

Molly R. Boesel, a Fannie Mae economist, wrote in a February commentary that sales will likely post another negative year in 2007, but that most of the decline is expected from a reduction in investor demand. Consumers, on the other hand, will likely jump back into the market.

The Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve agreed when it issued its Jan. 31 statement. In that statement, governors said they were encouraged by "tentative signs of stabilization" in the housing market.

"These are the first stages to getting the markets back into balance," Seiders says.

Stifling inventory

But even as consumers get back in a buying mood, housing markets won't necessarily spring back to previous heights. Part of the reason is because there is still a large inventory on the market, Lereah says.

One way economists rate homes sales is by calculating how many months it would take to sell all the homes listed for sale at the current buying rate. At last count, Lereah says it looked like there were between 6.8 months' and 7 months' worth of homes sitting on the market right now. He says that number will likely fall to between 6.6 months' and 6.5 months' worth by year's end. But that is still above the 5.5- to 6-month inventory that signals a balanced market.

Looking foreword, Lereah says 2007 will likely see an additional 1 percent fall in sales -- but only compared with 2006 numbers, meaning sales will have hit bottom and begun to rebound by year-end.

Welcome to the home of the Brittaney Ann Foundation.  We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization who strives to assist in any way that is possible to prevent needless deaths of teens, young adults and others resulting from a car accident.

Too many times young drivers take to the streets and with the invincible feelings that one has at this age some tend to drive a little too fast or even refuse to use safety equipment in their automobiles.

Over the next few months we will be researching new ways to promote safe driving so that people will have the information and motivation that is needed to drive safely and save a friends life.

For the dog lover in all of us:

Benchmark Bulldogs...the LOVE for YOUR dog STARTS here......

 

 Benchmark Bulldogs, we are dedicated in producing the healthiest of show quality to the AKC English Bulldog Standards. All of our babies are raised in our home, not in a kennel. When we breed our females, we strive to improve the health, temperament, and the pedigree of the future litters.

We have been in love with the English Bulldogs for many years and 5 years ago we decided that we wanted to be able to devote ALL of our time in raising our bully babies. This is our main reason for breeding and for sharing our babies with the public. From the moment they are born, and until they are adopted, the bully puppies are a part of our family. Constantly, we are socializing our puppies with other puppies as well as spending time playing in the house and yard. With every litter, we hold interviews with new owner prospects in hopes to find the best homes for our babies.

When delivering our bully babies to there new homes they will never be placed on a plane as luggage in the cargo section. I always hand deliver each and every one of my bully babies, either by car or by plane, sitting at my feet. Or, if you choose you can come to our home and pick up the puppy yourself. All of our puppies are sold as show prospect, except the puppies marked as a "pet puppy".

Please spend time on our website, looking at our bullies and their achievements in the show ring, past puppy pictures, along with our adult males and females. We will also provide STUD SERVICE of our males to approved females, and please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions about available puppies or litters to come. If you just want to talk Bulldogs I always have time to talk about my bullies and their babies. Thank you for visiting BENCHMARK BULLDOGS. Please come back and visit us again.

Thank you,

David and Deborah Long

Today is the second anniversary of the announcement of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.  At that time, an award-winning web site was launched that has served as a fundamental communications tool for our efforts to provide information about this project.  It has served us well, but is now being replaced with a new site with more dynamic graphics, a more powerful press area, and the ability to post blogs to keep those interested in our activities up to date.

We are very pleased that the new web site will allow people inquiring about volunteer and staff positions to directly register that interest with us.  It will also provide significantly greater access to ongoing information about the progress of construction as site photos are posted.   And it will be the porthole to the activities about to commence in Bentonville when we open Crystal Bridges at the Massey on Saturday, June 16 during Bentonville's ArtWalk event.  If you are in the area, please join us that day as we open our exhibit space with photos and models of the construction project, as well as our opening special exhibition, soon to be announced. 

A fantastic team of architects, engineers, contractors and consultants has been established to facilitate the design and construction of this world-class facility.  A core staff is working hard to build a collection worthy of the building; all lead by our mission to create a special place where art, nature and life intersect for everyone.
