Marineland (official name Marineland of Canada Inc. and marketing as MarineLand)[1] is a themed amusement park and zoo for both marine and land animals, in the city of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It is one of the main tourist attractions in Niagara Falls.[2] The park has been a center of controversy over its handling of animals at the park.
The park was founded by John Holer, a Slovenian immigrant who had worked for circuses in Europe before coming to Canada in the late 1950s.[3] It first opened in 1961 as "Marine Wonderland and Animal Farm".[3][4] Holer welded two large steel tanks together and brought in three sea lions and charged one quarter for admission and another to feed the animals.[3] The attraction also featured an underwater show featuring two female swimmers.[5] In 1964 Holer added two dolphins, along with a few other animals and the attraction became known as "Marineland And Game Farm".[5] By 1966, a 2,000 seat "aquatheatre" was completed along with a "grotto" of aquariums and shops.[5] In the 1970s Kandu the killer whale became the park's major attraction and the "And Game Farm" part of the name was dropped, although it was still referred to as "Marineland And Game Farm" until the late 1970s in television and radio advertisements. It was also around this time that the park began adding rides such as Dragon Mountain to attract teenagers and younger children.
On May 28, 2015, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario passed the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Amendment Act, which prohibits the acquisition or breeding of Orcas in Ontario.[6][7]
Marineland is open from the Victoria Day weekend through to Canadian Thanksgiving weekend in October. Rides operate until nightfall.[8]
Animal exhibits[edit]
- Friendship Cove: The world's largest whale habitat for viewing orcas ('killer whales') above ground and below.[9] Opened on July 22, 1998, it has held orcas ever since. Until the 2006 season, guests were able to pet and feed the whales. 'Splash Sessions' replaced the interactive sessions in response to guest feedback. These 'Sessions' included the whales jumping and splashing the guests around the walls of the pool, however these stopped after the 2011 season due to Ikaika's transfer back to SeaWorld. Friendship Cove currently holds one orca: Kiska (female, estimated age 38 years). Marineland has stated to the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA) that it is trying to bring in additional killer whales. Marineland is in negotiations with a Russian facility holding orcas. Beluga whales were held in Friendship Cove from May 30, 1999 until the opening of Arctic Cove in late 2003. Belugas returned to Friendship Cove in December 2008 following the importation of 8 individuals, and has held belugas since. Upon the recent 2014 opening season, several belugas were switched between Arctic Cove and Friendship Cove.
Living arrangements are:
A (Front) Pool: 11: Burnaby, Eve, Horus, Jellybean, Orion, Qila, Neva, Mira, Gia, Osiris and Tuk
B (Side) Pool: 1 Kiska
C Medical Pool: Open to Kiska
- Arctic Cove: Opened November 23, 2003, it features beluga whales, and is much like Arctic Cove allowing guests to view belugas above and below ground. Guests also have the opportunity to pet and feed the beluga whales for a fee. These interaction sessions occur throughout the day.[10] Marineland keeps beluga whales in 3 locations, Arctic Cove, and King Waldorf Stadium. Marineland currently holds the world record for having the most beluga whales on exhibit, with a total of 45 beluga whales. They do not use any assistive reproduction methods, only natural conception. With 31 live beluga whale births since 2002, 20 currently alive, at the park 4 residing in the United States, making the park the best for beluga breeding and care. In recent years Arctic Cove has been averaging about 6 beluga whales per year. Beluga whales typically give birth in the summer months from June - August, as the temperature begins to warm the water to 55 degrees making it suitable to give birth. This wild beluga whale phenomenon is also seen at Marineland. So far, Rose, Aurora, Acadia, Isis and Skyla have given birth in July and August 2014.
Living arrangements are:
"A" (Front) Pool: 27: Jubilee& Uba, Sierra and Frankie, Xena and Xavier, Meeka and Ruby, Cleo and Yara, Peekachu and Wink, Andre, Kodiak, Caspian, Tank, Isis and Titan, Skyla and Jetta, Rose and Ivy, Acadia and Sahara, Aurora and Kharabali and Talia

Marineland and its owner John Holer have been involved in many controversies throughout the park's history. Most have centered around the concerns of animals rights activists and some politicians, who have expressed concerns about the treatment of animals at the park for many years.
In 1977, The U.S. Department of Fisheries seized six bottlenose dolphins that had been illegally caught by John Holer in the Gulf of Mexico.[3]
In 2001, a member of Parliament, Libby Davies, tabled a private member's bill which aimed to ban the live-capture and trade of whales and dolphins.[13] The Department of Fisheries and Oceans commissioned a scientific study, but Minister Herb Dhaliwal chose not to act on any of the recommendations.
In September 2011, SeaWorld won a court battle with Marineland over the fate of Ikaika The Killer Whale. Ikaika had been originally loaned to Marineland under the terms of a breeding loan agreement between the two organizations, but SeaWorld decided to terminate the agreement due to concerns about Ikaika's mental and physical well-being due to deteriorating conditions at the park. Marineland initially refused to return Ikaika, but was eventually ordered to by the Ontario Superior Court as well as pay $255,000 in compensation to SeaWorld for legal expenses.[14]
On August 15, 2012, the Toronto Star published an article alleging that many sea mammals at Marineland live in inhumane conditions and suffer from a variety of illnesses caused by problems with water quality and chronic under-staffing. John Holer denied the allegations in the report, which was largely based on interviews conducted with former Marineland employees.[15]
On September 10, 2012 the Toronto Star published an article quoting former Marineland supervisor Jim Hammond alleging that Marineland owner, John Holer, had shot one of the baby deer in his park through the windpipe with a 12-gauge shotgun, leaving it to choke on its blood without dying. Hammond claimed the park owner refused his pleas for humane euthanasia.[16]
On December 20, 2012 the Ontario Ministry of the Environment announced an investigation into several mass animal graves at the park. The ministry had no previous knowledge of the graves, as Marineland lacks permits for such use.[17]
On March 5, 2013, the Toronto Star published an article quoting Hammond and a local resident alleging that John Holer had shot two Labrador Retrievers that had escaped a neighbour's house and entered Marineland property. The article also mentioned that Hammond was told by Holer "to check if there were any collars . . . around their necks and if there were, to remove them." [18]
In September 2013, it was reported that the Ontario College of Veterinarians was investigating an unspecified number of veterinarians at Marineland.[19]
Beluga whale deaths[edit]
A beluga whale died in 2000.[20]
Sasha, a beluga whale born in 2008 at Marineland died around Oct. 10th 2011, several days before the off season.
In May 2012, a 9-month old beluga, Scoot, born to Skyla, succumbed to its injuries after a two-hour attack by two adult males in a shared tank. Only an untrained guide was on hand to try to stop the attack. It took trainers two hours to arrive to the aid of the baby beluga. By that time, the calf had already died.
Charlotte and Luna, two calves born to Kelowna and Lilloet in 2009 and 2012 respectively, died in November 2012 and late 2013 respectively. Charlotte had a rare metabolic disorder, and the cause of Luna's death is still unknown.
Killer whale deaths[edit]
The following is a list of dead killer whales who were at Marineland:
- An unnamed whale died at the park in October 1992 from drowning.[21]
- Junior, a wild Icelandic male Orca, died in June 1994.[22]
- Kanuck, separated from mother, Kiska, and stored in a warehouse. Died at age 4 in 1998.[23][24]
- An unnamed whale born at Marineland died in June 1998.[25]
- Nova died in August 2001.[26]
- Algonquin died in August 2002 due to a twisted intestine.[27]
- April died in April 2004.[26][28]
- Neocia died in August 2004 at Marineland.[26]
- Hudson died in 2004 with the cause of death being meningitis.[29]
- Kandu 7 was a wild whale from Iceland that died in 2005.[26]
- Katak/Splash was born at Marineland and was moved to SeaWorld in 1992 for health treatment. He died in April 2005.[26]
- Athena died sometime in spring 2009. The cause of death was by infection.[30]
- Malik, a three-year-old orca, died due to a deficient immune system.[31]
- An unnamed wild died while being moved from Marineland to Japan.[26]
Black Water lawsuit[edit]
On May 10, 2016, Marineland filed a lawsuit against filmmaker Zach Affolter to prevent the release of his documentary, Black Water. The park alleges that the film contains footage illegally taken at Marineland, and is a violation of their policy preventing the use of footage for commercial purposes. Affolter responded by asserting that "Black Water is meant as an educational, non-commercial film that dives into the moral question behind keeping cetaceans in captivity."[32]
Marineland's main advertising comes through a series of commercials with the jingle "Everyone Loves Marineland". Marineland has also used other slogans over the years in its advertising:
- "Come to Marineland" - (1980-1985)
- "Where the Fun Never Stops" - (1986-1988)
- "Happiness is Marineland" - (1987-1991)
- "Everyone Loves Marineland" - (1992–present)
- Locker, stroller and wheelchair rentals.
- Allows picnicking and has a corporate area for picnics.
- Offers live musical entertainment with Polka music legend Walter Ostanek performing daily during the peak season.

on August 28, 2013 - 3:15 PM
Uniland Development Co. wants to build a 12-story hotel and office building on the corner of Delaware Avenue and Chippewa Street, a glass-covered potential new home for Delaware North Companies.
Uniland filed documents with the Buffalo Planning Board for a 515,00-square-foot V-shaped building on the site of the Delaware Court Building. The structure would dominate the highly visible corner property, which stretches down Chippewa to Elmwood Avenue.
The project for 250 Delaware Ave. includes a four-story, 120-room hotel occupying the second through fifth floors, and Class A office space from the sixth through 12th floors. In all, the hotel would take up 92,900 square feet, while the office space would occupy 190,894 square feet.
The first floor would consist of an 8,410-square-foot hotel lobby, a 7,420-square-foot office lobby and about 7,230 square feet of retail space for four boutique shops. There's also 32,907 square feet of lower-level parking.
A 520-space parking ramp with charging stations for electric vehicles will be connected to the building.
This is the first time a formal plan has been presented for the site, which Uniland acquired last September for about $3 million. The current curved two-story building, which dates to 1917 and features an ornate terra-cotta facade, houses retail space with restaurants and clubs on the first floor and some offices on the second floor. That building would be torn down and replaced with the new construction.
No tenant is identified for the office space, but Delaware North has been looking for a new location and Uniland is widely known to be courting the Buffalo-based hospitality giant, which has reportedly identified the site as its leading candidate. The company is currently housed in 110,000 square feet in the south tower of KeyCenter at Fountain Plaza, but that lease expires in 2015. An announcement has been expected for some time.
Delaware North officials could not be reached to comment.
The proposal is slated to go before the Planning Board for approval Sept. 10, and the developer has invited neighbors to an informational meeting today. Workers are now doing brownfield remediation of the former gas station site on the Elmwood Avenue portion of the site.
Uniland is working with Buffalo's Hamilton Houston Lownie Architects and Diamond Schmitt Architects of Toronto on the project design.
"This is just another step in the process as we continue to ready the site for construction," said Uniland spokeswoman Therese Hickok. "Only when all municipal, regulatory and public/private partnership approvals are complete will the project move forward."
She said the developer does plan "to apply for any appropriate incentives that the project qualifies for" from the state, county and city but would not be more specific. "We have had preliminary discussions with representatives from several entities and have briefed them on the project and the local, regional and statewide impact it could have upon completion," she said.
Plans call for 28,000-square-foot floors with as few columns as possible to be attractive to major employers. The building would have "expansive glass with lake and city views," and would incorporate a LEED-silver-certified sustainable design, according to Uniland. A solar roof is also being considered, and a large outdoor terrace is planned for the 12th floor, outside the offices.
The developer did not identify the hotel, but Hickok said it would be a national "flag" or chain, and would be full-service, with an attached restaurant and nightclub, as well as the first-floor retail. Outside, the building would feature a 7,000-square-foot garden, landscaping and cafe tables.

Dr. Banton's dissertation, More Auspicious Shores: Post-Emancipation Barbadian Emigrants in Pursuit of Freedom, Citizenship, and Nationhood in Liberia, 1834 – 1912, explored migration from the West Indies (particularly Barbados) to Africa (particularly Liberia) and the implications of this to experiences of freedom, citizenship, and black nation-building.

Matt Leinart celebrated being drafted into the NFL by partying at a Las Vegas nightclub on Tuesday with Paris Hilton.
For the record, Leinart was joined at the club PURE by more than 200 of his closest friends, including Nick Lachey, Wilmer Valderrama and Danny Masterson – but he spent the better part of the evening with the newly single Hilton, a source tells PEOPLE.
On his way into the bash, the 22-year-old, 6'5", Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, who was recently drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, told PEOPLE, "After this, it's all business, all NFL."
Inside, he danced with Hilton, 25, on the club's VIP beds. She called him "baby" and rested her head on his back, sometimes holding his hand, says the source.
The pair danced the night away – and at one point disappeared together behind closed doors in the club's private suite.
Later, Hilton treated the crowd to an impromptu concert, jumping on top of the DJ booth and belting out several songs from her upcoming album, including a rendition of Rod Stewart's "Do You Think I'm Sexy" – which she dedicated to Leinart.
When not on the dance floor, the pair nestled themselves into the corner of a VIP bed, where they kissed and hugged before leaving around 3:30 a.m.
Hilton and Leinart have been spotted together several times recently. On May 1, Hilton, wearing a brunette wig, shopped at the Grove in Los Angeles with Leinart, PEOPLE reports. That night, they partied together at L.A. club Shag. "They seemed really into each other," said one witness. "He was very touchy-feely."
Leinart's rep denies that they're dating, and Hilton's publicist, Elliot Mintz, says, "She knows Matt, she likes Matt. They are friends. I don't want to go any further than that. They have known each other a while."

Cliffy B itching to do something new
Epic Games' design boss Cliff Bleszinski has revealed that he has been thinking about doing something new for some time.
Bleszinski told IndustryGamers in a recent interview that he has been itching to work on some new IP after working on nothing but Gears of War since Unreal Tournament III was released.
He explained: "I've been itching for a while [to create something new]. When we finished Unreal Tournament I wanted to do another game. It's just a matter of opportunity and figuring things out. So all hands are on Gears right now, in the foreseeable future. But, we'll see how things go."
He added on their Raleigh studios: "That's one thing I know about Epic traditionally is if you're a body in Raleigh, you get sucked into the Gears vortex. That's why Chair's able to do Infinity Blade, because theyre in Utah. So that's one thing that we need to be sure of as a new developer. If we want to do a new Gears game, we need to be sure that we find a way to quarter off people that can work on different stuff. Who knows? We're just shipping Gears right now."

AC/DC (East West/Elektra)
As long as grown men insist on calling one another dude, there will be a place in the universe for AC/DC. Which is a good thing, because for nearly 30 years this Australian heavy-metal band has been Cranking out grinding, thundering and often brilliant odes to good times, fast women and other time-honored rock themes. Alas, on Stiff Upper Lip, the group's 17th release, charismatic guitarist Angus Young and the rest of the band are turning those themes into dog-eared clichés. Lip features the same no-frills, blues-based muscle music that has always been AC/DC's forte, but this time around the guys sound a bit weary. Where, for example, is the wit and energy of 1980's "You Shook Me All Night Long" or 1981's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"? It's one thing to have a trademark sound, quite another to be stuck in a rut. When the band launches into the plodding "Safe in New York City," the sentiment sounds hopelessly dated, considering the Big Apple's falling crime rate and newfound wholesome image. Sadly, AC/DC seems to be wallowing in its own nostalgia.
Bottom Line: Power outage

My journey as a caretaker began with the simple word, "Cancer." When I first heard it, I went numb. My husband Bernie was diagnosed with prostate cancer only a year after we retired to a lovely home in Arizona. Thoughts of the end of this idyllic existence washed over me. For a moment, I thought only of my own loss.
My husband had a more positive attitude and, for a time, I turned to him for comfort.
We sought out the opinion of a trusted oncologist with whom I had worked as a nurse. As an oncology nurse, I had held patients in the night, but suddenly the patient was my loved one. We discussed all aspects of Bernie's diagnosis and came to realize that although the future would be changed, there would be a future!
I had heard about a book by Bernie Siegel, "Love, Medicine and Miracles," which I tracked down at the book store. In it, we found hope and a way to mental peace. One of the author's recommendations we've used repeatedly is to seek out alternative techniques without foregoing traditional treatment. And, as the caretaker, I've had to become the rudder to keep my husband pointed at the goal.
Then, four years later, I had a breast biopsy that was expected to be negative. As Bernie and I waited in the exam room, my surgeon walked in and said, "I didn't expect this, but its cancer." That word again. My husband folded me in his arms as I cried. Our roles reversed and Bernie became my caregiver.
But suddenly Bernie seemed to be too tired for too long. Another call to doctor. Another blood test. A casual note in the mail to call the doctor's office to schedule more tests because Bernie was anemic and his blood protein was high. I quickly thumbed through my medical books and saw the words: multiple myeloma. I don't know who was taking care of whom just then.
Because I have been privileged to be a caretaker and to have a caretaker, I feel for those on both sides. And I would like to share with you some practical aspects of being a caretaker.
Be an active participant: Learn all you can about the disease and treatments – you can never know too much. Accompany your loved one to the doctor – two sets of ears hear more. Tape the consultations if you need to verify information when you get home. Be the patient's advocate in the doctor's office, the treatment room and in the hospital. Note subtle changes that the doctor might miss. Fight for the best opinions, the best tests and the best treatments. Help educate others.
Resist the "poor me" attitude: During your loved one's illness you will be walking a tightrope. Continue some of your regular activities. Don't get jealous of his time away form you.
Find support to help you through difficult times: Ask for God's help. Locate prayer chains and put your loved one on their list for active prayer. This brings hope and healing in difficult times.
Never lose hope: There'll be nights when you cry – that's OK – but pull yourself out of any despondency. Touch your loved one and say, "Thank you, God, for this moment." Treasure your special moments together. Actively tuck little memories away. Remembering these moments later, comfort will flow over you.
Learn some of the responsibilities you have not handled: This will spare him the frustration of seeing you struggle if he is no longer able to do these things. Do this gradually, so he will not think you are taking away his "jobs." It's OK to depend on each other.
Several years have passed since my husband was diagnosed with myeloma. There are times we both forget he is still fighting the cancer beast within him. Then a sudden pain jolts us back to concern. These are the times I find myself asking, "What will I do without him? How will I survive?" We talk about this and remind each other that no-one knows from day to day what will happen.
Finally, for the caretaker, no advice can be more direct than the serenity prayer:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
I wish peace, love, serenity and healing to you all.

Pivotal Game 3 awaits with Pens, Blue Jackets tied at 1-1
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Not so long ago, the Columbus Blue Jackets were the worst team in the NHL.
Now they're heading home for tonight's Game 3 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series with the star-studded Pittsburgh Penguins hoping to make even more history.
The Blue Jackets, cellar dwellers for most of the franchise's existence, got the first playoff victory in their 13 seasons when undersized pest Matt Calvert banged in a second-chance rebound 1 minute, 10 seconds into the second overtime.
It led to a writhing, laughing pile of humanity on the ice at Consol Energy Center -- and also set in motion a lot of doubts and criticism of the mighty Penguins.
Stocked with hockey celebrities such as Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, the Pens have come up short in the past four years since winning the Cup in 2009.
Callers to sports-talk shows and those on social media are already questioning the club's heart and commitment.
"Our failed attempts to get it behind their defense kept our players on the ice," coach Dan Bylsma said after the loss.
"They got into the offensive zone, put it in there, hemmed us in."

Along the Orange River you'll find surprisingly rich birdlife, which is best enjoyed by taking a canoeing trip down the river – a gentle and relaxing jaunt rather than high-energy white-water rafting (by the time it reaches northern Namaqualand, the river is broad and the few rapids innocuous). Trips range from half-day tasters to full-on six-day expeditions, with camps set up by the riverbank en route; costs start at around R400 for a full day, or R800 overnight. Read More

For the fifth time since 2000, those in charge of putting on a PGA event at Innisbrook in Palm Harbor will be looking for a title sponsor.
Transitions Optical informed the PGA it will not renew when its four-year contract expires after the 2012 tournament in March. Tour spokesman Ty Votaw declined to speculate on the bay area tournament's future, but on Wednesday he sounded optimistic the event would find a replacement.
"We are in discussions with several prospects as a replacement sponsor,'' Votaw said. "We have a number of companies we talk to about opportunities all the time. We are in those discussions now. We are fully sponsored for 2012 and we anticipate that to be the case in 2013 and beyond.''
Innisbrook has had a revolving door of sponsors since it became a PGA event in 2000. The PGA Tour sponsored the 2000 and 2002 tournaments (2001 was cancelled due to the terrorist attacks). Chrysler was the title sponsor from 2003-07. Then PODS stepped in for 2008 but exercised an option to back out after one year. Transitions signed a four-year agreement at the last moment and took over in 2009.
Calls to Transitions headquarters in Pinellas Park were not returned.
Now the search begins for yet another sponsor. Transitions Championship tournament director Kevin Krisle said they will look locally and nationally to secure one. Title sponsorship for the tournament has been reported to be around $7 million per year.
"We'll work in synch with the PGA Tour to try to find a title sponsor,'' Krisle said. "The search process has begun. In coordination with the PGA Tour, we are in discussions with prospects at this time.''
While there has been no time frame set to find a sponsor, the next season's schedules come out in the fall. If there is no title sponsor by fall 2012, the local tournament may be in trouble.
Votaw would not speculate on when a sponsor needed to be secured. "That's too premature and hypothetical to even talk about,'' he said.
Krisle said his focus is making sure the 2012 tournament goes off without a hitch. That, and finding a sponsor.
"We're not speculating on the future of any of it,'' Krisle said. "Our primary goal right now, in addition to the 2012 tournament, is finding a replacement sponsor to take the place of Transitions.''
Next year's tournament is March 15-18 at Innisbrook's Copperhead Course.

Disabled people hold placards as they assemble at India Gate in New Delhi yesterday during a protest.
NEW DELHI: Thousands of disabled people protested in the capital yesterday, demanding parliament pass long-awaited legislation that gives them equal rights including to education and employment.
Thousands with intellectual or physical impairments gathered to support the bill drafted for the country's 40-90 million disabled people, who have long been among the most excluded and stigmatised in society.
"We have been waiting since independence for this, some of us even longer," National Association of the Deaf president Zorin Singha said of the country's estimated 18 million deaf people.
"This bill will change everything for us," he said, sitting in front of India Gate among a crowd of supporters waving placards that read, "We want our rights, not your charity".
Indian political boss Sonia Gandhi has pledged to push for the bill's passing when the national parliament sits this week for the final session before her ruling Congress party faces general elections due by May.
But its introduction and passage through the chaotic and often dysfunctional parliament is uncertain, with 126 other bills already pending in the parliament which is set for a 16-day session.
Singha singled out the right to education as a highlight of the bill, which will guarantee that disabled students are entitled to teachers trained to meet their needs.
"Basically my school taught me nothing at all. The school had no teachers for deaf students and there were no alternatives. They just kept trying to force me to speak even though they knew I was deaf," Singha said.
Some disabled groups have opposed the bill, which would replace one from 1995. They say the latest draft has been watered down, and for example does not define people with psychosocial problems as disabled.

The Less You Own, The Less That Owns You
Our Family has been in need of an escape from media, noise, and stuff….and a few days on Lake Dunlap earlier this week gave us the remedy we were looking for.
We spent from Monday morning through Wednesday evening with no internet, no tv, and no phones. It was nothing but Family fun and connecting, and I'm telling you man….it felt so, so good to be completely in the moment with the kids with no distractions and complete focus. Not one of us wanted to leave the beauty that we were immersed in or the sweet feeling of freedom.
Half way through our escape, I turned to my kids and said "what if we just stay here and don't return home?"….and the response was "yeah, let's do it". I then asked if there was anything they would need from home if we were not going back there. It was the response to this question that was the highlight of our entire time on Lake Dunlap.
Indie answered "clothes".
Kassi answered "my books".
That's it.
Neither of them said iPads, toys, movies, etc. At that moment, they were completely content with what they had….which was just our family.
You see, along with no internet, tv, or phones….there was also no toys, electronics, and barely enough clothes (our baby, River, could have gotten by without any clothes as he pretty much went naked the whole time out there).
I've said it before, and I am in the process of putting out a post on this subject….but to me there are only two things that matter: Family and Bikes. If I have that, then I have all I need. The rest is just STUFF.
That Granny over at Sweet Leaf Tea was right: "The Less You Own, The Less That Owns You".

Existing Homes Sales and Inventory Months of Supply (thru April 2013)
Most of homes sold are existing homes sales, so it is an important area of the housing sector to follow. I'm continuing a feature called "Easy Trends" – a place where I'll analyze the recent trend for an indicator and discuss whether it is currently going up, down or neither. You can read the basics of my methodology on the FAQ page.
NOTE: You may be reading an outdated analysis. Please visit my latest existing homes sales and inventory months of supply trend analysis for more info.
Quick 'n Easy
Typically, if it would take longer than 6 months for the unsold inventory of existing homes (not newly built) to be sold at the latest pace of sales, we can expect prices for existing homes to go down. If it's less than 6 months, we can expect prices to go up.
You can get a sense for whether there are too many existing homes still on sale (inventory) by taking the total inventory and dividing it by the pace of sales. The result is "months of supply," which basically means that if existing homes were to continue selling at the same rate as the most recent month of data, the current inventory of homes would be sold by that many months. A normal reading is around 6 months – higher number means too much inventory, and if supply is greater than demand, that usually means prices will drop.
Here's a chart of the Existing Homes Inventory Months of Supply from Calculated Risk: (focus on the red line)
Existing Homes Sales Trends and Projections
Below, I will discuss whether the indicator is currently in a trend, when the last confirmed trend was and what that says about projecting the next data point to be released.Existing Homes Sales Trend Analysis
Quick 'n Easy
From January thru April 2013, supply was rising by about 0.29 months with each passing month – a confirmed upward trend (bad), and this reverses the trend that ended as of January. We needed the May report to confirm an end to that trend. While rising inventory levels are bad for home prices, it's better not to get too low and throw things off equilibrium, which would be about the 6 month level. We are already well below the equilibrium point for prices, which means existing home prices are pressured to rise in the near future.
Current Trend: Jan – Apr 2013. During that time, there was a confirmed upward trend, with existing homes inventory supply rising by 0.29 months with each passing month. This is a new trend that reverses the previous falling (good) trend.
Last Confirmed Trend: Apr 2012 – Jan 2013. During that time, existing homes inventory supply was falling by 0.28 months with each passing month.
Projected Next Data Point
The next report is for May 2013. If the recent trend (excluding any off trend data points) extends perfectly, the next value for months of supply of existing homes inventory would be about 5.4 for May 2013. This would be very reasonable for next month, especially since inventory levels typically rise around this time of year. We are still below a normal level of about 6 months, so no worries if this continues for now.
Easy Take
Right now, the existing homes market is on an upswing when examined properly. Don't let headlines from mainstream media outlets fool you into looking only at the total number of homes sold. That is misleading.
With the latest report from April 2013, the existing homes sales inventory months of supply was again too high to include in the recent confirmed downward trend (good) from April 2012 thru January 2013. Thus, that trend was broken and replaced with a new confirmed upward (bad) trend since January. Given our current low level, though, I'm not worried that the months of supply is rising. We're still well below "normal" levels. Because inventory numbers are not seasonally adjusted, there are some seasonal patterns to what we see in the months of supply figure as well. It is typically at its lowest in December and highest in the mid-summer. The latest reading still sits below the equilibrium point, meaning that existing homes prices are positioned to rise in the near future. Most media articles focus on the actual number of homes sold, but it's not the number of homes sold that matters in this report. Existing homes don't generate much in the way of GDP. Instead, what's important is that the supply of existing homes isn't too high, so that prices can be stable or rising slightly. And for this month, that number stayed low, although it did rise – probably due to expected seasonal factors.
Another component of the report that does warrant attention is the percentage of sales that were either a result of foreclosure or a short sale (where the bank accepts whatever they can get for the house and forgives the rest of the mortgage balance). These are considered "distressed sales" – they put pressure on prices of homes because they represent situations where the seller is very eager to get rid of the house. A lower percentage of overall sales that are "distressed sales" would represent a healthier housing market. For April, that number was 18 percent, which was 3 percent lower than the previous month's figure.
If you compare inventory levels to the year before (see the Calculated Risk chart at the top of this post), you'll see that inventory has been steadily declining since early 2011. The bottom line here is that things have stabilized in the existing homes sales market where it matters. It's gotten to the point now where inventory levels are so low that there is unusually high demand for the few homes out there. That is contributing to faster growth in home prices for existing homes, which means that homebuilders will be more likely to build and sell homes. And it's the new homes that we really want to see selling, because those are what contribute much more to our GDP.
Remember that there are many homes in "shadow inventory" – that is, homes whose owners really want to sell but simply haven't put them on the market because prices have dropped so low from their peak several years ago. If we do see any hint of a price increase, there are plenty of these homes that might rush back onto the market, which means increased supply, which means lower prices. In other words, we may not get to the point of rising prices for some time until all the "shadow inventory" can be sold off.

Twenty-five years ago, C.J. Mugavero had a vision and took steps to make it real.
The result is the Artful Deposit Gallery in Bordentown City, where she represents approximately 20 of the region's respected and prolific artists.
"Art is in their soul, it's who they truly are, and what their life mission should be," she told a recent reviewer.
But it's apparent art is in her soul, too, and to honor that, the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie is holding a celebratory exhibit presenting works of 20 of her artists in a show that is varied in media and subject matter but consistent in quality.
"C.J.'s been in business for 25 years, and for a gallery to still be in business after that long is remarkable in this day and age," says Brian O. Hill, Ellarslie's director. "I love the fact that we have a strong Bordentown/Trenton connection, and the work has been very well received."
Proof of that statement are the many little red "sold" stickers throughout the exhibit, a testimony to the quality of work on display — and the variety that satisfies many diverse tastes.
Take, for example, the paintings of Louis Russomanno and Ken McIndoe, which are equally well executed, but their styles could not be more different. Where McIndoe piles paint onto his canvas in an emotional response to what he is seeing, Russomanno works slowly and deliberately laying on layers of more thinly applied pigment.
McIndoe's large painting at the entrance to the foyer of the museum, "Three Trees," is a wild profusion of twigs, trunks and branches, leaves of brilliant orange and yellow. Russomanno's "Communion Dress" is a quietly haunting portrait of the period white dress hanging on a wardrobe door. The dress is captured in fine detail, as are the dancing slippers, a wildflower halo and other young girl collectibles resting atop the wardrobe.
That diversity runs throughout the exhibit. In one room you see Eric Gibbons' figure paintings of beautiful young men captured in moments of introspection.
The stylized young man in Tom Kelly's "'71 Eldorado," however, stands by his yellow convertible, his pride of ownership evident.
The three-dimensional works on display range from the late James Colavita's poignant ceramic, "Portrait of Susan," to a series by Gary Bykowsky that comprises spheres of steel forged and welded hand tools — pliers, screwdrivers, wrenches, chains, nuts, bolts and screws, to mention just a few.
Hanneke deNeuve, who has long been represented by Mugavero, is exhibiting her fiber collages, one of which is a large wall hanging, "Sixty Days," which comprises 60 squares of her unique collaged designs.
There is also a group of Erica O'Rourke's hand-formed carved slab construction stoneware, "Wetland Series," and Susan Brennan's "Keepers of the Children," pit-fired ceramics.
Many of the paintings on display are traditional. Although there's no abstraction, there's whimsy to be found in Ken Maag's "Love Bugs, Butterflies and Dragonflies." Tom Kelly's tongue-in-cheek portrayal of "The Tool Collector," who sits by the fire reading in his wing chair while on the wall behind him is a collection of hand tools in all sizes in shapes.
Illustrator Gennady Spirin, who has been awarded gold metals in recognition of his work, is exhibiting pages from books he's illustrated as well as his highly prized original watercolor, "Skaters on Carnegie Lake."
If you're looking for works of art that are simply beautiful, you need look no farther than Marge Levine's pastels. She captures mood and atmosphere like none other.
Michael Budden and Eleinne Basa share one wall, where their oil paintings show the moods of nature in all seasons. Eugene Maziavz's large oils capture the beauty of trees. His "Sunny Day, Southern France" sets the scene in brilliant and warm tones of yellow.
Sarah J. Webber takes viewers from the landscape itself to its inhabitants. Her love of wild creatures is obvious in her portraits of them on exhibit.
Patrick Antonelle, whom Manhattan Arts Magazine calls "the foremost impressionist painter of our century," is represented by four mixed-media on canvas paintings of subjects ranging from sunflowers and beech trees to "Wall Street Dusk, Circa 1904."
Romantic outdoor scenes by Cynthia A. Dawley are joined by those of her father, the late Joseph William Dawley, whose works are in private collections and museums throughout the Canada and the United States, most notably in the White House.
Plein air painter Richard McKinley is represented by three landscape pastels and Anna Wainright's four pastels portray clouds and reflections.
Speaking recently about this group of artists, Mugavero said, "We've done this together so they deserve this as much as I do."
"Although the path of the small business/gallery owner can be very dreary at times, it's the love of fine art that fuels my determination to stay afloat," she said at a later date.
"Imagine a world without the joy and beauty and inspiration of art, and that would be a world I would choose not to live in."
"Twenty-Five Years of the Artful Deposit at Ellarslie"
When: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturdays, 1-4 p.m. Sundays, through July 24.
Where: Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie, Cadwalader Park at Parkside Avenue

Day Care is an integral part of The Rowans Hospice. It enhances quality of life for patients by maintaining their independence and providing personalised care in a homely and relaxing environment. Some patients come to us after attending our other day service The Heath Centre.
A visit to Day Care enables patients to socialise with others in a similar situation, as well as having the chance to discuss all aspects of their illness with a nurse. If there are particular physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs, these can be discussed with staff to see which of our other services may be of benefit to the patient and their carer. For example, access to Psychology Services, Physiotherapy, spiritual care and the Social Work Team.
"I was referred to Day Care by my District Nurse and I feel it's the best day of the week for me. The thing I value most is I can be myself." Betty
During their day with us patients can pursue artistic and creative projects, join in discussions and quizzes, and engage with a variety of interesting visitors from across the community. We also offer the chance to have a haircut or unwind with a relaxing massage or reflexology (complementary therapy). In addition to our social activities we provide a freshly prepared lunch and refreshments throughout the day.
"It's the only day I can get out. I like the arts and crafts. I can lose myself and it's an escape." Tracy
With different people and surroundings to enjoy, spending the day with us can revitalise patients and give valuable respite to carers and family members. Our staff and those who volunteer with us provide a friendly welcome with plenty of laughter and emotional support.
"It's a wonderful supportive network with two sides, the professional help and advice and the entertainment." Sandra
Like all services offered by The Rowans Hospice, Day Care is completely free of charge. For more information go to Day Care FAQs or download a leaflet.
For general enquiries contact Angela Muir 023 9223 7140 or email Day Care Manager email@example.com.

Maryfest red caboose office suffers fire damage July 19
MARYSVILLE — The staff of Maryfest will need to find a new office, in the wake of a July 19 fire at the corner of Cedar Avenue and Fourth Street.
Maryfest Vice President Angie Miller explained that the red caboose which has served as the Maryfest office sustained "significant damage," and that Maryfest itself will need to relocate "for an undetermined amount of time."
Because the caboose is the property of the city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Department, Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew joined Maryfest President Bobbi Young in assessing the damage to the caboose July 19. He stated that it was too early to determine the cause of the fire, and reported that the Marysville Fire Department will conduct an investigation into the matter.
Miller noted that the fire was initially put out in the "late afternoon" of July 19, but added that it restarted in the "early evening" of that same day. Ballew helped Maryfest volunteer John Hiatt empty the caboose of equipment and supplies. Miller reported that much of the office sustained either fire, smoke or water damage.
As of press time, Maryfest is still looking for a temporary new location for their office.
"If anyone in the community has a place we could use, we'd be grateful," Miller said. "We are still traveling with the float to other locations, and have already started planning for next year's festival."
Those interested in helping out or learning more can contact Miller via e-mail at email@example.com. On behalf of Maryfest, she thanked Marysville firefighters for their quick response time, as well as their help in moving items out of the caboose office.

Grantor Trusts and Income Tax Reporting Requirements: A Primer
Jonathan G. Blattmachr
Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP
Bridget J. Crawford
Pace University School of Law
Probate Practice Reporter, Vol. 13, No. 1, 2001
In the last decade, grantor trusts have become a cornerstone of many sophisticated estate plans. Although clients and their advisors employ grantor trusts with great frequency and success, few taxpayers and not all estate planning professionals are fully conversant with the income tax reporting requirements for grantor trusts. Some erroneously assume that because grantor trusts are "ignored" for purposes of calculating taxable income, they are also ignored for purposes of reporting taxable income. this is not always the case, however. This article explains the complex rules with which taxpayers and their advisors must comply for reporting income of grantor trusts. The article includes a visual flowchart of the procedural steps that must be followed to comply with applicable Treasury Regulations.

One of the worries about the Wii U has always been latency between the TV and the GamePad controller. Even a slight delay on the tablet controller could ruin games, but according to developer Two Tribes, that's not an issue at all. In fact, the GamePad updates quicker than the TV. Two Tribes is currently working on Toki Tori 2 for the Wii U, and when they tried to send images to both the TV and GamePad, the GamePad updated quicker, according to Two Tribes co-founder Colin Van Ginkel. In a recent interview, Van Ginkel said,
"In our test setups we see the GamePad screen updating quicker than our LCD TV's if we send the exact same image to both."
He added that the only time players could potentially see a delay on the GamePad was if they were sitting too far away from the console, but he did point out that this was "pure speculation" from his point. The controller uses Bluetooth to connect with the Wii U console, and features technologies such as NFC, motion sensors, a gyroscope, and can even carry a separate audio feed.
Van Ginkel also mentioned that it's likely we'll see a Toki Tori 2 demo on the Wii U, and that they're hoping Nintendo offers some of the features that Steam has, including putting games on sale.

Never mind the Emmys, some fans think Oprah Winfrey deserves an even bigger award: the Nobel Peace Prize.
Citing the TV queen's humanitarian work, generosity, charity and "high fashion," a grassroots campaign has emerged to hand the honor to Winfrey.
"This is something that's been inspired by God," said Rocky Twyman, 56, described by the Washington Times as devoted D.C.-area publicist and Oprah fan who is spearheading a petition drive. "It's a grassroots campaign in its very beginning stages."
Twyman, who aims to collect about 100,000 signatures by December, adds for New York's Daily News: "We're just really impressed with what she has done to raise the level of consciousness about hunger, poverty, homeless, women's issues and, of course, the issue of AIDS."
Twyman says he intends to send his 100,000 signatures and nomination petition to previous Nobel winners Nelson Mandela and former President Jimmy Carter in the hopes that they'll forward it to the committee in Norway that decides the prize.
Winfrey and the Nobel committee have so far yet to comment on Twyman's drive. He so far has 300 signatures, says the Daily News.

Financial Integration, Entrepreneurial Risk and Global Dynamics
Vasia Panousi
University of Montreal, Department of Economics

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
October 5, 2010
FEDS Working Paper No. 2010-54
How does financial integration impact capital accumulation, current-account dynamics, and cross-country inequality? This paper investigates this question within a two-country, general-equilibrium, incomplete-markets model that focuses on the importance of idiosyncratic entrepreneurial risk -- a risk that introduces, not only a precautionary motive for saving, but also a wedge between the interest rate and the marginal product of capital. Our contribution is then to show that this friction provides a simple explanation for the emergence of global imbalances, a simple resolution to the empirical puzzle that capital often fails to flow from the rich or slow-growing countries to the poor or fast-growing ones, and a distinct set of policy lessons regarding the intertemporal costs and benefits of capital-account liberalization.

The third weekend in November, Lycoming Christian Church, 20 Chapel Hill Road in Linden, will host its 25th "Celebration" for youth coming from near and far.
The overnight gathering, Nov. 15 and 16, will bring in young people in grades six through 12 and their sponsors for a night and day of talks and music to challenge and strengthen their faith, said organizer Robert Williams.
"When we started this in 1989, we wanted to connect Christian young people, we felt a desire to be able to let them come together and know there's other Christians out there. The motive on our part is to get people to unite in Christian fellowship," Williams said.

The third weekend in
November, Lycoming Christian Church will host its 25th "Celebration." Shown here are photos from past "Celebrations."
Lycoming Christian always brings in nationally known speakers and musicians for the weekend. This year, father and son team Joey and Josiah Potter, of Georgia, will give talks and play music for the attendees.
The elder Potter is national missions director with the Fellowship of Christian Artists and Josiah is a recording artist who has opened for acts such as Jars of Clay, Krystal Myers and Thousand Foot Krutch.
"The sponsors will get three hours with Joey Potter, when they can ask him questions and he can help them with ideas for the challenges of working with junior and senior high youth," Williams said. "Josiah will be leading a workshop on how to stay strong in your faith for the youth."

OTHER: Registration
deadline Nov. 5
A number of other workshops will be available, given by youth leaders from a variety of groups. On Saturday afternoon, the youth will go to Lycoming Valley Intermediate School for a recreation session based on games from the challenge game show "Minute to Win It." There also will be several worship sessions and a turkey and all the trimmings banquet on Saturday evening.
More than 150 youth have attended in recent years, and Williams said he hopes with the later date, more than 200 will be able to come this year - usually Celebration weekend competes with band competitions and district football games.
Youth coming from more than 25 minutes or so away will be put up in the homes of Lycoming Christian congregation members.
Over the years, the event has had an effect on the lives of those who attended, bringing youth to Jesus and bringing them together in fellowship, Williams said.
"We had one girl one year who went home and her mother had just attempted to commit suicide. She was able to help her mother realize there was more to live for," he said.
"We've had different kids who have made bonds, formed bands, gone on to camps, gone on mission trips together after they've left Celebration," Williams said.
The deadline to register is Nov. 5. The cost for youth is $45, which includes three meals, and $40 for sponsors, with an at-the-door cost of $50. More information is available by calling the church office at 322-9940 or visiting thecelebration.ws.

Barre driver hospitalized after late-night mishapApril 21,2013
Barre man hurt
in NH car crash
BRADFORD A Barre man who was hospitalized in New Hampshire following a late-night accident on Route 25 will face at least one criminal charge when he returns to Vermont.
Vermont State Police said Mark Ekins, 47, was driving with a criminally suspended license when he swerved off the road and into a ditch shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday. Ekins was injured in the accident and taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover, N.H.
