This is truly some of themost remarkable growth weve ever seen

There are several fight possibilities that would beavailable in the next few months that could be very exciting.Mike Thomas Brown defending his belt against the explosive Jose Aldo takes place this weekend, and what better way to bring the Featherweights to the UFC with the winner of Brown/Aldo possibly facing the former champion Urijiah Faber.The WEC Lightweight Champion Jamie Varner is about to defend his belt againstwrestling ace Ben Henderson, just a few weeks after B.J Penn defends his title. The timing is perfect for a belt unification match, pitting the UFC champ against the WEC champion.And then, of course, this is the likely rematch of Bantamweight champion Brian Bowlesagainst one of the best fighters in the world, Miguel Torres.Bowles landed a KO hook to Torres' temple in a back-and-forth match, where both fighters were rocked at times. The result would better, more consistent cards so the UFC would have to, as suggested by some, cut down the number of PPVs they host per year.It also does the fighters in the WEC justice, who are just astalented as their Zuffabrethren in the UFC, but there is a huge paycheck gap between the two promotions.Fighters like Torres, Brown, Aldo, Bowles, and Faber deserve the kind ofrecognition and paydays that the other champions and contendersreceive.. Gadberry Groups 8 from 2008 Queen Creek, AZ (Phoenix suburb) Enterprise, NV (Las Vegas suburb) Helotes, TX (San Antonio suburb) Wesley Chapel, FL (Tampa suburb) Indian Trail, NC (Charlotte suburb) Castle Rock, CO (Denver suburb) Elk Grove, CA (Sacramento suburb) New Orleans, LA"When we released the 7 from 2007 list last year we were very pleased to see howmuch buzz was generated," said Gadberry Group principal, Larry Martin.Headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, Gadberry Group provides locationintelligence services and data for the worlds top retail brands.

"Repeating thelist this year was a no-brainer, especially given the amount of news related todiminishing, or negative growth across the U.S. The 8 from 2008 list is a way toillustrate that although the economy and housing crisis is affecting many areas,there are still plenty of places experiencing growth." According to Martin, most researchers agree that Census data has been thestandard for understanding the distribution and demographic makeup of the U.S.population. "But Census data is nine years old, so changes in demographiccharacteristics cant be identified or measured accurately using onlyCensus-based estimates," he added. Theselection criteria and ranking methodology included variables such as percentchange, absolute change and the presence of emerging Census blocks (blocks withless than 10 households in Census 2000 and more than 100 households in 2008).The analysis considered the total growth from 2000 to 2008 as well as the amountof the total growth that occurred from 2007 to 2008. Gadberry also weighted theanalysis using key demographic variables such as ethnicity, household income,net worth, economic stability, length of residence and age.

Taking the number one spot in this years list was Queen Creek, Arizona. "QueenCreeks consistent, sustained growth is amazing," said Martin. "When we ran thenumbers we saw that the Queen Creek area added an unbelievable average of sevenoccupied households every day since January 1, 2000. This is truly some of themost remarkable growth weve ever seen." Also worth mentioning is the fact that six alumni from the 7 from 2007 listcontinued to show strong growth in 2008, ranking among the top 25. They wereGoodyear, AZ, Frisco, TX, Wentzville, MO, Brighton, CO, North Port, FL, andPlainfield, IL.
