Fourth of July 2005 Facts and Figures

Fourth of July 2005 Facts and Figures

Fourth of July

On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress, starting the 13 colonies on the road to freedom as a sovereign nation. As always, this most American of holidays will be marked by parades, fireworks and backyard barbecues across the country.

Fourth of July 2005 Facts and Figures

296.5 million:

Projected number of U.S. residents on this July 4th. Back in July 1776, there were about 2.5 million people living in the colonies. (2005 population from unpublished data; 1776 population from Historical Statistics of the United States: Colonial Times to 1970.)

The Fourth of July Cookout: 150 million

Number of hot dogs (all varieties) expected to be consumed by Americans on the Fourth. (That's one frankfurter for every two people.) There's about a 1-in-4 chance that the hot dogs made of pork originated in Iowa, as the Hawkeye State had a total inventory of 16.2 million hogs and pigs on March 1, 2005. This represents more than one-fourth of the nation's total. (Data on hot dog consumption courtesy of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council.)

7.3 billion pounds:

Total production of cattle and calves in Texas in 2004. Chances are that the beef hot dogs, steaks and burgers on your backyard grill came from the Lone Star State, which accounted for over one-sixth of the nation's total production.

Fourth of July Celebration in Gatlinburg Tennessee Includes the Nation's First 4th of July Parade and last 4th of July Fireworks Show

6:

Number of states in which the revenue from chicken broilers was $1 billion or greater in 2004. There is a good chance that one of these states Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi or Texas is the source of your barbecued chicken.


Better than 50-50:

The odds that the beans in your side dish of baked beans came from North Dakota, Michigan or Nebraska, which produced 58 percent of the nation's dry, edible beans in 2004. Another popular July 4th side dish is corn on the cob. California and Florida together accounted for about 45 percent of the value of sweet corn produced nationally in 2004.

One-half:

Amount of the nation's spuds produced in Idaho or Washington in 2004. Potato salad and potato chips are also popular food items at July 4th barbecues.

Nearly 69 million:

Number of Americans who said they have taken part in a barbecue during the previous year. It's probably safe to assume a lot of these events took place on Independence Day. See Table 1238, 2004-2005 edition:


Fireworks: $164.2 million

The value of fireworks imported from China in 2004, representing the bulk of all U.S. fireworks imports ($172.5 million). U.S. exports of fireworks, by comparison, came to just $14.3 million in 2004, with Japan purchasing more than any other country ($4.7 million).

$17.3 million:

The value of U.S. manufacturers' shipments of fireworks in 2002.

Flags: $5.2 million

The dollar value of U.S. imports of American flags in 2004; the vast majority of this amount ($4.8 million) was for U.S. flags made in China.

$851,000:

Dollar value of U.S. flag exports in 2004. Mexico was the leading customer, purchasing $312,000 worth.

$349 million:

Gatlinburg Cabins

Coming to America: 34 million

The number of foreign-born residents in the United States in 2004; they accounted for 12 percent of the nation's total population. Another 30 million Americans were "second- generation," meaning that at least one of their parents was born abroad.

53 percent:

Percentage of the nation's foreign-born population born in Latin America, as of 2004.


Fourth of July Celebration in Gatlinburg Tennessee Includes the Nation's First 4th of July Parade and last 4th of July Fireworks Show

706,000:

Number of immigrants granted legal permanent residence in the United States during fiscal year 2003. One in four settled in California, and 1-in-10 in the New York metro area.

463,000:

Number of people who became naturalized U.S. citizens during fiscal 2003. Mexico contributed the highest number of naturalized citizens in 2003 (56,100), followed by India (29,800), the Philippines (29,100), Vietnam (26,000) and China (24,000).

Ahwatukee Fireworks - Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Proud to Sponsor Ahwatukee Fireworks

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Proud to Sponsor Ahwatukee Fireworks

Phoenix, Arizona -- Ahwatukee Foothills’ annual fireworks festival is a community tradition, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is proud to help sponsor the event this year. Funding shortfalls threatened to cancel this year’s festival, which will be held on July 3. Several sponsors, including Phoenix Sky Harbor stepped in to help fill the funding gap. “The annual Ahwatukee Foothills Independence Day celebration is a wonderful community event,” said Phoenix City Councilman Greg Stanton, who represents the Ahwatukee Foothills area. “Residents work hard to make this event happen year after year, and we’re glad that Sky Harbor could help make sure it went on as planned this summer.”

Sky Harbor is located just 20 minutes from the Ahwatukee Foothills community and is well used by residents in the community. In fact, Ahwatukee’s 85044 zip code has the sixth highest frequency of airport users in the Phoenix metropolitan area. “Sky Harbor is always working to make connections with the community it serves,” said Stanton.

The Ahwatukee Foothills Chamber of Commerce “Red White and Boom 2005” event is free to the public. It will be held at Mountain Vista Park at 48th Street and Ray Road. Gates open July 3 at 6:00 p.m. and fireworks start at 9:30. The event will offer live music, a food court, kids carnival zone and more.

California Plein Air Art Exhibition at the Old Mill Is Now Available for Online Viewing

California Plein Air Art Exhibition at the Old Mill Is Now Available for Online Viewing

Website of the California Art Club Showcases Original Paintings from "Summer Leisure," the Current Exhibition at the Historical Landmark Near the Huntington Library


With growing collector interest in California plein air paintings by the Golden State's premier artists, the California Art Club is now displaying on its website the entire exhibition of original paintings on view at the Club's permanent gallery at the historic Old Mill in San Marino, Calif.

The Club's current exhibition, "Summer Leisure," which runs through Sunday, Sept. 11, can be seen by visiting www.californiaartclub.org and clicking "Exhibitions." This exhibition features nearly 50 works that include quintessential California images of inviting sandy beaches, boats serenely sailing in the ocean and other familiar sights of the longer days and shorter nights of summertime.

"In recent years, with the shift away from conceptual art and a return to more representational, figurative forms, the audience for California plein air works has expanded to collectors beyond the U.S. borders," said artist Peter Adams, who has served as the Club's president since 1993. "By prominently featuring the Club's current exhibition on our website, we enable collectors of contemporary-traditional fine art who don't live in the greater Los Angeles area to view and acquire the newest works from many renowned California artists," Adams added.

California Art Club
The Old Mill



One of the oldest, largest and most active professional arts organizations in the world, the Club has mounted quarterly exhibitions of art at the Old Mill -- also known as "El Molino Viejo" -- since 1999. The historical landmark, built in 1816 and a short drive from the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens, is the oldest commercial building in Los Angeles and at one time was home to members of Henry Huntington's family.

Exhibitions slated for the California Art Club Gallery at the Old Mill for the remainder of 2005 include "Yosemite: Native Spirits," which opens Sept. 13, and "Monumental Miniatures II," which opens Dec. 6 and will feature paintings no larger than 8 by 10 inches.

The Old Mill is located at 1120 Old Mill Road in San Marino and is open from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, except holidays. The telephone number is (626) 449-5458. For directions to the Old Mill, visit www.old-mill.org.

About the California Art Club

The California Art Club (www.californiaartclub.org), established in 1909 by early California Impressionists or plein air painters, is recognized as one of the oldest, largest and most active leading professional art organizations in the world. The mission of the Club, which is headquartered in Pasadena, Calif., is to promote traditional fine arts in the fields of painting, drawing and sculpture, to produce and promote art exhibits that foster understanding and interpretation of traditional art heritage and California history, and to furnish educational opportunities in fine arts.

Tovrea Castle Restoration Is Under Way

The long-awaited restoration of Tovrea Castle began this week with an estimated completion date in late summer 2006.

The project will cost approximately $2.7 million and will include major structural and aesthetic improvements to the entire building. The project funds came from 1998 and 2001 Historic Preservation bonds, Brownfield funds, financing plan and private donations.

The castle restoration project, expected to take a little more than one year, will include:

repairs to the building shell, roofing and exterior stucco;
structural stabilization and upgrading to correct structural deficiencies and allow for public access on the first two building levels;
restoration of historic finishes and plaster in the building�"s interior;
removal of hazardous materials, such as lead and asbestos;

installation of a heating and cooling system;

repairs to the terrace, stone walls and landscaping directly surrounding the castle.
BACKGROUND

The Tovrea Castle and Carraro Cactus Garden, completed in 1931, is a city Historic Landmark and Phoenix Point of Pride.

In 1989, Phoenix voters approved a Historic Preservation Bond issue, authorizing $5 million for the purchase and restoration of the castle and garden site. With these funds and additional grant funds, the city purchased some of the property, helped to restore the gardens and developed a preliminary conceptual master plan for the site.

In 2001, an additional $4.5 million was authorized in the bond election to continue with the strategy of full land acquisition, castle stabilization and restoration, park development, and eventual public access to the site. With these funds and additional state grants, the city completed additional land purchases and now has ownership of the entire historic 44-acre site, with the exception of two minor parcels.

MASTER PLAN

With the historic site now secured in city ownership, the City Council adopted a Master Plan for Tovrea Castle and Carraro Cactus Garden Park in 2003. The Master Plan envisions a multi-use historic park providing a wide range of recreational, cultural and social activities, with a focus on preserving Tovrea Castle.

The centerpiece and highest priority in the Master Plan is the restoration of the 1931 castle itself. Funding is available in 2005 to complete this critical priority, although additional funding is needed to furnish the building.

The Master Plan's other elements � including a permanent restroom, on-site parking facilities, site trails and interpretative walkways, additional restoration of the Cararro Cactus Garden, construction of a visitor/tourism center, and restoration of other historic outbuildings on the site will require multiple phases of work and substantial additional funding.

When Tovrea Castle restoration is completed in 2006, the city will provide select opportunities for the public to experience Tovrea Castle. Regular public access to the park will be provided once the city can complete and operate a fully developed Tovrea Castle and Carraro Cactus Garden Park.

Beginning in July, monthly updates on the restoration of the castle will be available at phoenix.gov/parks/tovrea.html.

Tovrea Castle and Carraro Cactus Garden Commemorative T-shirts are available for purchase. All proceeds benefit the Parks and Conservation Foundation and are earmarked for the restoration of Tovrea Castle. For more information, or to purchase a T-shirt, contact the Historic Preservation Office at 602-261-8699.

The Housing Bubble or The Bogeyman Under the Bed
May 11 , 2005 by Steve Mullis


Recently there has been much discussion and speculation about a phrase that sends shivers down the spines of realtors and homeowners alike...⬝The Housing Bubble⬝.

Having looked at data from a variety of sources and attending a presentation for top named economists, the future of Arizona housing is clearing up nicely.

Developments that can affect the housing market are many...interest rates, employment, population increases or decreases, consumer confidence, the �SHousing Affordability Index⬝ the livability index, population age, etc.

The Housing Bubble Revisited

Contributed by Bob McCord, CEO of the Success Financial Network

It's difficult not to write about the "housing bubble" given the media's continued effort to make it happen. There is no question that the pace of sales has to slow and that double-digit price increases can't continue. But that doesn't make a bubble.

The party isn't over yet for metropolitan Phoenix's housing market, but analysts say it may be winding down.

Existing homes continued to command premiums in May when the median price hit $235,000, according to the Arizona Real Estate Center at Arizona State University. That's a 6.3 percent jump from the April figure, the type of move that took a year to achieve in the late 1990s.

"Deep down, everybody knows you can't sustain this pace," said Jay Butler, director of the Real Estate Center. advertisement



Real Estate Bubble


Driving the market: a strong economy, new jobs, low mortgage rates and investors lured by big gains in home prices. Butler says the Phoenix housing market is in a price bubble, and other analysts are reaching similar conclusions.

A bubble is a rapid run-up in home prices that the market cannot sustain, so housing prices ultimately fall. If prices do fall here, it could put pressure on all home values and spark some homeowners as well as investors to sell. That, in turn, could drive prices down even more.

University of Arizona economist Marshall Vest said outsize price gains should begin to moderate by the end of the summer. He said housing statewide shows "a lot of characteristics" of a bubble.

"Demand far outstrips supply, and the demand side appears to be driven by a frenzy of sorts, by greed," he said. "The frenzy is going to evaporate, and the market will begin to return somewhat to normal. It's not that prices will fall. The rate of the increase will moderate."

$1 billion in April tax collections sets record, provides millions in surplus funds

Arizona's tax revenues have surged to record levels, thanks largely to profits from hot housing and real estate markets that are powering one of the most robust economies in the nat great real estate casino want to talk publicly about a housing bubble. This is classic bubble behavior.

It was on display most recently in the tech bubble of the late 1990s. Some are deluded, experts being particularly prone to the malady. Back then it was the "long boom" theory; now it's "people will always want to move to Arizona" and other fables. Others know they have a tiger by the tail, and don't know how to let go without getting killed. And for now, these players are getting stunningly rich.

Everyone, it seems, is trying to get into the game. This is also classic bubble behavior. From the capital markets to the cubicle prole who has bought a couple of investment houses in Eloy, bad money follows good past the market peak. In the tech boom, we watched spectacular IPOs for companies with no profits and products no one understood. People who didn't even own a computer were putting their life savings into dot-coms with impossible price-to-earnings ratios.

Don't Buy Housing Bubble Propaganda

Don't Buy Housing Bubble Propaganda
Thursday May 26, 2:04 pm ET
By Barry Ritholtz, RealMoney.com Contributor


The old saw is true: Every general fights the previous battle. And after missing the tech and telecom bubbles, the generals of the financial media are now battling more bubbles than we can count:
There are bubbles in debt, credit and interest rates. There is the oil bubble, the import bubble, the China bubble and the current account deficit bubble. In short, we have a veritable bubble in bubbles. Indeed, it is astonishing how many people who failed to either acknowledge the tech bubble in the 90s -- or at least failed to act on it -- now have no hesitation to declare real estate to be a bubble. This despite their lack of expertise or past track record in spotting bubbles on a timely fashion.


The bubble du jour though is the housing bubble. From Greenspan's testimony to CNBC's Housing special to (uh-oh) this month's Fortune magazine cover, it seems to be all anyone wants to talk about.

My position is that housing is not in a bubble -- yet. But it is an increasingly extended asset class that may be subject to a significant correction in the future. But a 25%-35% retracement is a very different situation than a bubble (recall that the Nasdaq dropped 80%), primarily because there are very different consequences for both homeowners and investors.

Not Your Grandson's Bubble
That said, comparing real estate with other true bubbles -- most especially the tech/telecom/dotcom bubble of the 1990s -- is imperfect, due to several factors.
Homes are illiquid assets that take several months to sell; stock can be liquidated instantly.

The housing market is regional, with an uneven distribution of asset appreciation: Equities are national, and even global.

Lastly, there is an intrinsic value of a house as a place where you can live; Compare this with a company whose only asset was a sock puppet -- the tulip bulb of its day -- and it's clear why a profitless, assetless, publicly traded company can go to zero. Barring an external disaster like Love Canal, houses will not.
