While there shouldn't be an embarrassingly bad team in the West this year, age and offseason personnel movement may have left the East as the stronger conference, which would result in an even more dominating showing by a now ridiculously talented Golden State team. Still, improving young teams moving up and traditional powers that could fall mean that, beyond the Warriors, almost anything could happen out west.
Kevin Durant wants to be like - Toni?
Adding a top 5 player to a team that is one year removed from a title and won an NBA record 73 regular season games a year ago is fascinating on several fronts, not the least of which will be Kevin Durant's role on the team; as good as he is, it will be hard to view him as essential to the Warrior's success. Durant is basically set to fill the role of Toni Kukoc on the Bulls second threepeat: he's a nice additional offensive weapon as a long, lanky shooter, but the team has already proven it can win without him. His signing, along with the departure of three of their four centers, means that the team is buying in even more completely to their small ball lineups. While those lineups were solved to a certain extent during the Finals, it is hard to imagine anyone being able to score with this group. Steve Kerr will have two respectable new options when he chooses to use a traditional big man, as Zaza Pachulia is coming off one of his best seasons and Damian Jones is a taller, more athletic version of a young Festus Ezeli in terms of a project with loads of potential. The Warriors may have also gotten a steal in second round pick Patrick McCaw, who was outstanding in summer league play, so the bench may not have actually taken much of a hit at all. It will somehow be even harder to knock the Warriors off in a standalone regular season game, and seemingly impossible to beat them in a playoff series, so much so that they currently favored 2/3 to win the title – better than the odds for all other teams to win combined. The Warriors are about to be Goliath to everyone else's David, so they will definitely be getting everyone's best all season long.
Allen Crabbe's a solid young player that's important to the Blazers, but as a bench player he benefited from the salary cap bump more than anyone.
The Trailblazers made some questionable contract decisions during the offseason, but they were able to keep together an improving young core and add pieces that will make them better at both ends of the court. While Evan Turner isn't a great shooter, he does help the team more at the offensive end than Mo Harkless (who was inexplicably given $10.5 million a year anyway), while Festus Ezeli will allow the Blazers to stop bulky post scorers better than they did a season ago. Damian Lillard, C.J. McCullum, Allen Crabbe, and stretch 4's Al Forouq Aminu and Meyers Leonard will allow Portland to stretch the floor and score from the perimeter as well as anyone other than the Warriors, while inside Mason Plumlee came into his own in the playoffs as a rebounder and passer out of the post. Portland should be better, and because of some offseason changes to the rest of the Western Conference elite should emerge as the closest thing to an actual contender to the Warriors.
Kawhi Leonard may have picked up a few things from Tim Duncan.
The addition of a still imposing Pau Gasol to LaMarcus Aldridge and legitimate MVP candidate Kawhi Leonard should briefly give the Spurs the best frontcourt in basketball. However, in what is now a guard dominated league, 34 year old Tony Parker suddenly seems very average, 3 and D shooting guard Danny Green dropped to 33.2% from 3 last year (although he did shoot 50.0% from deep in the playoffs), and 39 year old Manu Ginobili is a shadow of his former self after putting up just 12.6 points per 36 minutes in the playoffs (and of course he didn't play nearly that many minutes). After a strong showing in limited minutes last year and an impressive summer league performance there is the possibility that Jonathan Simmons is ready for a breakout season, but his offensive game doesn't appear to be as well rounded as Ginobili's. In addition, Kyle Anderson will have to provide what the Spurs lost with Boris Diaw's departure, but, while he has been dominant in summer league, there have been indications he won't be athletic enough to do those things in actual NBA games. The Spurs still have the best coach in the league in Greg Popovic, and the frontcourt is loaded, but their aging backcourt could temporarily make them vulnerable to younger teams, and they seem far from being a thread to the Warriors.
Parsons could see the most scoring opportunities he's ever had in Memphis.
The Grizzlies were one of several teams that made a confusing coaching change in the offseason. They were overachieving relative to their talent level to begin with, and that was compounded by being one of the most injury riddled teams in the league, yet Memphis still managed to make it into the playoffs (where they were doomed to failure without their two best players). Moving from Dave Joerger to first time coach David Fizdale is a risk, but this is a veteran team that knows how to play, so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Chandler Parsons is a huge addition, and could immediately become the team's leading scorer. While Zach Randolph and to a lesser extent Marc Gasol are aging, Jamychal Green is being moved into the starting lineup to provide more energy while Randolph and a hopefully healthy Brandon Wright will be part of what should be an above average bench. Finally, James Ennis and perhaps Troy Daniels will combine with Parsons to give the Grizzlies more perimeter shooting than they have had in years. Coaching question aside, there is a lot to like about the Grizzlies' offseason, and they should move up in the West.
Gordon Hayward's passing ability becomes much more important with a combo guard running the point.
The Jazz have been getting better inch by inch over the last few years as they've waited for a young roster to mature, and that patience may pay off this year thanks in part to the addition of some much needed veteran leadership to supplement their young talent. Although he's a combo guard, George Hill should provide the most dependable point guard play the Jazz have had in years; he'll combine with Rodney Hood to form a strong defensive backcourt that can shoot, and Gordon Hayward will complement the pair well with his passing ability. Joe Johnson is a still dangerous shooter that has developed into a solid stretch four, and both he and Boris Diaw will complement traditional big men Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors perfectly. With Alec Burks and Trey Lyles in the mix as well, the bench is loaded, and, led by Gobert and their strong perimeter defenders, Quin Snyder's Jazz also happen to be one of the league's premiere defensive teams. There's a lot to like about Utah, and they should be ready compete with the better teams in the league.
Blake Griffin is just 27 and could still be getting better.
Doc Rivers is an excellent basketball coach, but perhaps he shouldn't be this team's general manager. Despite having an opportunity to significantly overhaul a questionable supporting cast, Rivers chose to essentially punt and stay with the same group that has left his big four to bear a ridiculously heavy burden for the team to have any success. Chris Paul is now 31 and J.J. Redick, who still somehow seems to be getting better, is 32 and is asked to sprint around the court constantly on offense; their load needs to be reduced at some point. Instead, 36 year old Jamal Crawford was given 14 million a year despite shooting just 34.0% from 3 as the team's best offensive weapon off the bench, while Austin Rivers, who is a very average player that the team likely wasn't competing with anyone to sign, was given nearly 12 million. The Clippers needed to surround the Chris Paul-Deandre Jordan pick and roll with shooters, but the only shooter Rivers added was Marreese Speights, who obviously can't play with Jordan. The team also needed a 3 and D small forward, but it appears a resigned Wesley Johnson or Luc Richard Mbah a Moute will be given the role. With the exception of adding first rounder Bryce Johnson, the only thing that the Clippers did in the offseason was watch their roster get older, and this isn't the type of young, still improving roster they can do that with anymore. The Clippers will still be in the playoffs because of their top 4 players and a watered down Western Conference, but their days of being a contender in the West appear over for now.
I was honestly shocked when he started knocking down 3's at a respectable rate as a rookie.
Tom Thibideau is stepping into a prime situation in Minnesota with a team stocked with just the kind of players he values – the kind that defends. Karl-Anthony Towns walked through the door as an all star caliber player, and his ability to stretch the floor means that he can play with Gorgui Dieng; combined with Ricky Rubio, Zach Lavine, and Andrew Wiggins, the Timberwolves could have the best defensive starting lineup in the league under Thibideau. Offense will be the primary limiting factor, but with Lavine, Wiggins, and Towns still improving, and Tyus Jones and Kris Dunn giving indications in summer league that they will be able to help at that end, Minnesota should be able to score enough to give a still very young team their first taste of the playoffs.
He's going to be good.
Because of the Mavericks approach to teambuilding through free agency, Rick Carlisle has become accustomed to making the best of what appears to be a randomly assembled roster, and this year's addition of two new starters actually seems stable by comparison. The starting frontcourt will be a little plodding with Andrew Bogut and Dirk Nowitzki, but Dwight Powell and Quincy Acy will bring more athleticism off the bench, and Harrison Barnes has proved to be a more than adequate defender when asked to defend larger players in small lineups. That could be particularly important because Justin Anderson appears ready for a breakout year as a 3 and D wing good for the occasional spectacular dunk. With the possibility that Barnes will blossom with more opportunities and Wesley Matthews will return to form a year after achilles surgery, Dallas should have a strong group of wing players that can make things happen at both ends of the floor. Point guard will again be largely by committee, but Carlisle does have four of them to choose from. The Mavericks whiffed again in free agency, but they were able to capitalize on Kevin Durant's move to the Warriors well enough that Carlisle should be able to keep them in the playoff picture.
Westbrook may actually receive ovations before road games.
It will be virtually impossible for anyone to root against Russell Westbrook this year. Unfortunately, Kevin Durant's departure seemed to shock the Thunder's front office to the point that they stopped paying attention in free agency, and there were still pieces available that could have helped their recovery; still, there should be enough talent around Westbrook for the Thunder to at least contend for a playoff spot and give Westbrook his first MVP. They should still defend well with Victor Oladipo an improvement over Dion Waiters, although Irsan Ilyasova won't defend quite as well as Ibaka against traditional lineups or Durant against smaller lineups. Ilyasova will, however, be a better spot up shooter than Ibaka, and with Oladipo, Enes Kanter, Anthony Morrow, Kyle Singler, and possibly Alex Abrines the Thunder will still have plenty of those around for Westbrook's drives. Oladipo will also be able to help Westbrook facilitate offense, so Westbrook shouldn't have to feel like he has to do everything himself (although he probably will anyway). Billy Donavan is certainly about to face a very different challenge, but the Thunder shouldn't drop to the Western Conference basement.
Mudiay should have a much better understanding of what's going on this year.
Since reaching 57 wins in 2012-2013 and subsequently firing George Karl and dismantling the young roster that got them there, the Nuggets have spent the last few years making frequent, largely lateral moves, and it has gotten them nowhere until now. While they did just add three first round picks, Denver may have finally let a group stay around long enough to at least begin to develop into what they inexplicably broke up four years ago. Emmanuel Mudiay is still a work in progress, but he did average 16.5 points and shot 37.4% from 3 over the last two months of the season. Gary Harris and Nikola Jokic are also still in the rapidly improving stage, while Danillo Gallinari and Kenneth Faried are entering the prime of their careers. If Jameer Nelson and Wilson Chandler can stay healthy enough to provide veteran contributions from the bench, the Nuggets could push for a playoff spot, but even if that doesn't happen Denver should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and finish near .500 in the West.
Clint Capela is about to emerge from what was at one point a very crowded frontcourt.
All indications are that Clint Capela will be able to pick up for Dwight Howard defensively and on the boards (although he may get pushed off the block by bulkier centers), and Howard wasn't getting the ball that much at the offensive end anyway, so that change shouldn't make a huge difference for the Rockets. What likely will make a difference is that the Rockets took the Eric Gordon and Derek Anderson bait to surround James Harden with shooters; while that will help at the offensive end as long as Anderson's back holds up, with Mike D'Antoni taking over as coach the combination of Harden and Anderson at the defensive end will likely provide its own form of entertainment. The only real NBA success D'Antoni has had was when Steve Nash was making his offense look like magic, but Nash kept the ball moving and that simply isn't what Harden does. There is still plenty of talent in Houston without Howard, but this may not be the best marriage of coaching style and player, and the result could be a step back for the Rockets.
Deng will be an excellent influence for the young Lakers, and he developed into a strong 4 against smaller lineups in Miami.
The Lakers made several substantial improvements in the offseason, not the least of which should be the coaching change from Byron Scott, who was making some very interesting decisions with his young roster, to Luke Walton. The team also added some solid veteran leadership in Luol Deng, Jose Calderon, and Timofey Mozgov, and, frankly, is likely to benefit by not having Kobe Bryant shooting horribly (35.8% overall and 28.5% from 3) and generally not caring how poorly they were playing. The young core has a year under its belt playing together, and will add a fourth piece in the number 2 overall pick in Brandon Ingram, while Larry Nance Jr. gave indications in summer league that he has spent his offseason developing into a respectable stretch 4. This team should be substantially more competitive, and there's a very real possibility that they could surprise with 30 or more wins.
Devin Booker seems to have come a long way very quickly.
The Suns have put together a young roster not entirely unlike what they had when Jeff Hornacek took over and shocked everyone by almost making the playoffs in a then-loaded Western Conference. Whether they've hired that sort of coach again is anyone's guess, as Earl Watson had all of a year and a half of experience as an assistant before being handed the reigns and leading the team to a 9-24 record as an interim coach last year. What they definitely do have is an overabundance of talent at point guard, which would have fit perfectly into Hornacek's offense. Eric Bledsoe will still be the best of the group if he's healthy, but that's a big if at this point. Devin Booker is developing and learning a new position quickly, and was clearly the most dominant player in summer league, where Tyler Ulis impressed as well. The frontcourt is more of a question mark, with Tyson Chandler apparently on the downside of his career and no indication of how well Dragan Bender will be as a rookie. The Suns are young and were heavily beset with injuries a year ago, and Earl Watson is a huge unknown, so they could conceivably be much better, but it's hard to make that sort of projection at this point.
Terrence Jones is only 24 and could still help somebody win.
The overall talent around Anthony Davis may have improved marginally in the offseason, but the Pelicans stand to have a major problem shooting the basketball. Anderson and Gordon were the team's primary weapons from beyond the arc, and it's debatable how well they were replaced. In his attempt to become the next Steph Curry, Buddy Hield did his best Dajuan Wagner impersonation in the summer league, which is likely what you should expect when you encourage someone to take shots like Steph Curry. Otherwise, Jrue Holliday may always need to be on a minutes restriction, but he played well and stayed healthy a year ago before facial surgery shortened his season, Tyreke Evans should return from knee surgery to help out eventually, and there is a chance that Terrence Jones could have a resurgent year playing with Davis at times, so Davis at the very least shouldn't feel as though he has no help. Still, it will be hard to succeed without better shooting, and Davis hanging around the 3 point line is not an optimal solution.
It's possible that there's still only 1 big man that's good at his job in Sacramento.
Demarcus Cousins is right to be incredulous about the Kings' offseason decisions; Vlade Divac doesn't appear to be very good at this. With Cousins and a still promising Willie Cauley-Stein already in the fold, Divac converted the number 8 pick in the draft into a 7-2 foreign project that no one else was going to touch until the second round and Skal Labissiere, who was far from imposing in his one year at Kentucky. This comes a year after the Kings gave Kosta Koufos a four year, $32 million deal, and was followed by giving Anthony Tolliver a two year, $16 million deal. Divac also made it clear that he isn't particularly high on Rudy Gay and would like to trade him away and then addressed the percieved problem by signing players that are a step down in Arron Afflalo and Matt Barnes. He has also allowed the point guard position to slide to solid backup but questionable starter Darren Collison, which is particularly important because the Kings shot the ball relatively well a year ago (10th in the league in 3pt.%) and Rondo's passing was an important reason for it. Divac was able to flip Marco Belinelli for more promising rookie Malachi Richardson, but overall the Kings roster is now left overloaded with overpaid, questionable frontcourt talent and includes a perimeter that lacks creators and that likely won't shoot the ball very well. Cousins has to hope the Divac experiment will end soon, but if not he only has two more years of Kings misery to suffer through.

I was in high school when I saw the movie, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier, and was fascinated by his life story that I went to our school library to read more about him. He was an American folk hero from Tennessee and was elected to a seat in the US Congress.
However, due to his continuous opposition to the policies of then-President Andrew Jackson, he lost in his bid for re-election. Disappointed over his narrow loss to his opponent, he moved to Texas, which was at that time a Mexican state named Tejas.
Deeply committed to his convictions, Crockett joined the war against Mexico and was killed in the Battle of the Alamo, a historical event which, again, piqued my curiosity as it was a highlight of the Texas Revolution. I wanted to know how the battle cry, “Remember The Alamo” came about.
At the churchyard, the museum staff are dressed in period costumes and share their knowledge and enthusiasm with tourists. This lady showed us what items were used by housewives at that time.
Originally a Catholic Mission named San Antonio de Valero, and built to convert to Christianity the Native Americans settled in the area, the church was more popularly known as The Alamo (Spanish for “cottonwood tree”) because there were many of these trees around it.
Several months before the siege of The Alamo, the Texans had driven out the Mexicans, but only about a hundred Texans, led by Davy Crockett, were left to defend The Alamo. Some reinforcements, led by James Bowie and William Travis joined them later, as they clashed against around 1,500 Mexicans who were on their first move to re-take Texas.
The Alamo defenders, led by these three gallant soldiers, although greatly outnumbered, held on to their brave defense and staved off the Mexican attack for almost two weeks, repelling the first two waves of assault. Meantime, the Texan defenders kept pleading for reinforcement and additional supplies, but very little help came.
On the Mexicans’ third wave of assault, The Alamo fell. Crockett, Bowie, and Travis were killed and some of those who surrendered were quickly executed by the Mexicans.
This bronze tablet, in front of The Alamo’s facade, is a copy of the letter of Lt. Col. Travis pleading for reinforcement and supplies, of which very little came.
The brave front put up by the defenders of The Alamo sparked a deep commitment from the other soldiers in the Texan army to avenge the defeat of their compatriots. So several weeks later, when Sam Houston and his soldiers staged a surprise attack on the Mexicans in the Battle of San Jacinto, many of the Texan soldiers repeatedly cried, “Remember The Alamo,” giving them the courage and strength to defeat their enemy in less than 20 minutes!
These days, when people say “Remember The Alamo,” they actually want to point out the bravery and desire to win in the face of overwhelming odds, as exhibited by those fearless Texan soldiers.
The Alamo is such an inspiring saga in American history that I made sure I would visit it during my recent trip to Texas. After an almost three-hour drive from Houston, we parked our van at the Hyatt Regency San Antonio which is right across The Alamo. It was such a thrill to see this historical icon right in front of me, as it “teleported” me back to my high school days when I first learned of it.
Once you get inside the perimeter of the church and its walls, you can easily imagine how it must have felt during the Mexican siege. The serene church interiors, although a reconstruction from the original structure’s ruins, still gives you that sense of strength and fearless perseverance which, I’m sure, was the reason why the outnumbered Texan defenders lasted almost two weeks in fighting off the invaders.
My brother-in-law Gus de Medeiros and I, after having learned from the tour guide that the name “alamo” is Spanish for the cottonwood tree, painstakingly searched the premises so we could see what the tree looks like. Unfortunately, we could not find any, much to our disappointment, as the trees we saw in the churchyard were either pecan or oak. It would have added value to this tourist destination if some of those alamo trees were still onsite.
The Alamo Cenotaph, also known as The Spirit of Sacrifice, commemorates the epic battle and contains the names of those who fought there.
Originally built in 1718, The Alamo has evolved from a Mission to fortress, to battlefield, to warehouse, to shrine, and now, to a museum, as the State Legislature transferred custodianship of The Alamo Complex to the Texas General Land Office. No matter what identity it assumes, to me, when I think of gallantry in the face of overwhelming odds, I will always Remember The Alamo!
BOYFRIEND: I might not be rich. I have no money or villa or cars or companies like my friend, John, but I love you and adore you.
GIRLFRIEND: (Looks at him with tears in her eyes and hugs him like there is no tomorrow, and lovingly whispers in his ear) If you really love me that much, introduce me to John.

Philadelphia, PA: Livent Corp. (NYSE:LTHM), producer of efficiency lithium compounds, launched its This autumn 2018 outcome which didn’t reside as much as analyst expectations, inflicting the stock to fall by 6.63% within the buying and selling session. While the corporate’s revenues are diversified throughout multiples geographies akin to North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific, its heavy dependence on Chinese consumption led to the corporate lacking out on income estimates.
Livent reported a top-line of $119.80 million which is a 5.6% development over the corresponding quarter of the earlier yr however it did not impress analysts who had anticipated the revenues to be $3.18 million greater. The reported EPS of $0.23 was in step with analyst expectations however this was not ok to forestall the stock from crashing.
In the phrases of the administration, the slowdown in China within the latter half of 2018 resulted within the firm’s Chinese prospects not being prepared to make firm commitments for value and quantity at ranges that had been acceptable to the group. As a outcome, the corporate has determined to focus its Asia-Pacific operations on economies like Japan and South Korea whereas hoping for the Chinese market to stay flat. To create optimism across the stock, the administration went forward and claimed that FMC Corp. is ready to spin off its stability stake in Livent on March 1, 2019 and that it remained optimistic concerning the elementary drivers of demand for its business. While the corporate focuses on battery-grade lithium hydroxide, butyllithium, and purity lithium metallic that are utilized in numerous efficiency purposes, the enterprise of lithium hydroxide is predicted to get a lift because of the robust rise in electrical car gross sales.
In phrases of outlook, CEO Paul Graves and his group count on Livent to generate a income of $495 million to $525 million for 2019, offering for a 12-19% development within the top-line. They count on the annual EBITDA to be within the vary of $190 million to $200 million and an EPS starting from $0.92 to $0.98 per diluted share.
While the 2019 outlook appears fairly optimistic, it’s value noting that the stock has already misplaced greater than 25% of its worth over the previous 3 months. It is to be seen if the corporate is ready to ship on the outlook that it has promised and if the administration can efficiently create shareholder worth in 2019.

Where Do Ocean Animals Spend the Holidays?
Find out what animals across the ocean are doing during the winter months.
It’s the holiday season—a hustle and bustle time of year spent traveling, visiting family, wishing good tidings, and of course, eating scrumptious food. But while we’re busy on land, there’s an entire world of animals under the sea with their own, unique, sea-sonal traditions.
Have you ever wondered how ocean animals spend the holiday season? Learn about what ocean critters are doing during the winter months—and how our aquatic friends spend the holidays!
Considering all the work that goes into holiday dinners—cooking through all hours of the night to feed incoming relatives—it’s difficult to imagine experiencing a more stressful time. Coho salmon, however, think you have it easy.
Coho salmon can be found throughout the Pacific Northwest. Beginning in mid-November through mid-January, female adult salmon of California migrate to freshwater to spawn. Streams with gravel and sand bottoms are perfect for the pregnant salmon. Using their back fin, they carve out hollow nests in the gravel and proceed to lay around a hundred eggs in the nest. And that’s not all—they continue to create nests all throughout the stream, laying 1,000-3,000 eggs for the season!
We all know tempers can run high during the holiday season—there just never seem to be enough mashed potatoes for everyone! But while you’re busy fighting with your brother-in-law over who gets the last slice of pecan pie, male elephant seals are arguing over who gets the best beach territory.
October marks the beginning of the season when elephant seals haul themselves onto the shore in places like San Simeon, California. From November to January, the male seals fight to establish their breeding territory in the rookery—what these beaches used for reproduction are called. Generally, the weaker males will be submissive and accept their smaller parcel of land (along with decreased access to females), but for more aggressive seals, the alpha male must be established. Preparing for a fight, the elephant seal will puff up his chest and become very vocal, sometimes resorting to violence—lunging and biting at one another—though there is rarely much injury. By January, most of the females arrive to give birth and mate again.
The holidays mark one of the busiest travel days of the year and it’s no exception for gray whales. As one of the oldest mammal species gracing the planet (30 million years!), gray whales have also have the longest migration of any mammal—traveling a whopping 12,000 miles each winter.
Pregnant females kick off the migration from cold, Alaskan waters to warmer climates off the coast of Southern California and Mexico. The female gray whales give birth here in the nursery lagoons and are later joined by males and juveniles. They don’t spend too long here as they must turn back towards Alaska around January, while mothers and their calves are the last to return, needing to be strong enough and full of blubber to face the journey.
It’s funny that we mention Dungeness crab, because megalopae (premature crabs before they reach their juvenile stage) are a main food staple for both the Coho salmon and gray whales mentioned above. Mid-November through December sparks the beginning of Dungeness crab season, as they are just ready for eating. Right before this time, however, in October and November, female crabs begin their gestation period.
A life history study from California’s Department of Fish and Game shows that colder water temperatures lead to a higher success rate in egg development and a decrease in mortality rates. As the eggs develop, they attach themselves to the abdomen of the female crab until they hatch weeks later. Females bury themselves in sand for protection as the eggs grow. The egg masses appear bright orange in color and can contain as many as one to two million eggs!
Near the chilly waters of South Georgia (an island of the Southern Ocean, north of Antarctica—NOT the southern part of Georgia state), you’ll find hundreds of Gentoo penguins gathered round for a special time of year. The tail end of October marks the average laying date for these penguins. Female penguins will lay two eggs and both parents—that are generally found to be in a monogamous pair—take turns incubating the eggs on the pebbly nests.
It takes just over a month until the eggs hatch, releasing hungry chicks in December that require daily feeding from foraging parents.
In my humble opinion, one of the best aspects of the holiday season is spending time with family and friends over a warm meal. This is exactly one of the reasons why many species of dolphins find themselves seeking the warm shelter of Monterey Bay during the winter months.
Bottlenose dolphins, Pacific white-sided dolphins, Risso’s dolphins and northern right whale dolphins all enjoy the abundance of food available in the area as they rest, socialize and play.
Now keep in mind, this list doesn’t even skim the surface of the countless sea creatures beneath the tides. All over the world, the ocean brims with life that perseveres through the seasons. So, let’s be thankful for the greetings and good tidings we are given this year and cherish the magic of diversity in this beautiful world.

We, as kayakers, experience a unique perspective on our watery environments. In our small boats, we notice details of the tides, currents, winds, and waves, that larger boats do not. Rising and falling with the waves offshore, we can clearly see the impacts of human interventions along our shorelines. We're quick to notice a shoreline hardened by walls or a rubble-strewn beach when we cannot find a place to land. The stillness of our movements allows us to observe wildlife more closely than would be possible from a motorized craft. The smallness of our boats lets us maneuver where others cannot.
As a hydrologist and coastal engineer by trade, I always pay special attention to the interaction between built and natural environments. More often than not, I return from a kayaking trip and research the coastal features that I've newly encountered. I do my best to relay what I've learned in my posts. Sometimes I write about coastal- or hydrology-related topics apart from kayaking. See below for a summary of writings that emphasize these nerdier (i.e. super interesting!) topics.

Aureli’s words pointed out the friction between feeling involved with political institutions and the distance that we, as citizens, usually experience. As he described in his text it all starts in the place where the function takes place.
Not having access to these buildings, means not feeling part of the process which ultimately leads to political detachment.
With the new building of Rosa Luxemburg Foundation (RLS) we would like to tackle this problem. Political disengagement is not a trivial thing and certainly cannot be resolved only with a new building design.
Nonetheless it is possible to resolve or mitigate this cause of disengagement derived from the above mentioned point by Mr. Aureli.
The new RLS should express an open character, it should promote debate. It should invite people to access the building and participate in their activities.
Besides that it should also work in the same way for the staff members and encourage collaboration among different departments. By all means isolated departments should be avoided.
Urban setting | The new RLS is situated on a very interesting location. On one hand it defines a new public square together with the “Historisher Postbanhof” and the Hotel am Postbanhof and on the other hand it faces Straße der Pariser Kommune from which a large amount of visitors will arrive (train station, parking, traffic road).
Public plinth | In order to give an answer to this publicly exposed situation, a transparent plinth with a variety of public functions is positioned on ground floor. The main access of RLS is located at the Stadtplatz. The foyer is the departure area for the “public promenade” and moreover it has a large multifunctional space which can hold exhibitions, cafe, receptions, etc. In summer time it is possible to open its facade towards the square.

Project ends but community gardens continue to grow!
In 2013 – 2015, The Culture study Speiga implemented the project “Biedrības “Kulturys studeja Speiga”” darbības programma Latgales lauku labklājības veicināšanai” (The program of action of The Culture study Speiga to increase the rural welfare in Latgale) supported by Social Integration Fund and Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Latvia. Project was trying to improve the critical welfare situation in Latgale – the poorest region of EU – by promoting those micro- tehnologies and praxis that could regenerate social and economical life in the region.
The long-term objective of the program of action is to promote awareness of sustainable, productive, environment healing management strategies suitable for low income small farms / family farms. Therefore making it possible to improve both the situation of each family farm and encourage sustainability through preserving the rural population and foster the rural population welfare rises? in the Latgale region. The objective is fully achieved – new strategies and technologies of self-sufficiency have been brought to local communities in Latgale with more than 350 unique persons participating in the project. A blog with at least 50 daily visits is popularizing rural and sustainable lifestyle of Latgalian communities all over Latvia. New traditions and lifestyle changes are initiated in Latgalian communities and Latvia.
Around 150 persons were volunteering in the project to improve the quality of the life in the local community – by planting Community Gardens, organizing activities for promoting self-sufficiency, sharing their knowledge with others.
The results of the project were achieved almost for 100%. When implementing the program of action, at least 350 people were involved in educational and self-sufficiency promoting activities. 5 people became members of the organization, 2 members were volunteering in Swedish permaculture community, and 47 volunteers were working to implement the project for the organization. 5 local communities were activated by creating Community Gardens –104 people were involved in planting the mentioned gardens. 10 NGOs are starting to cooperate at different levels – local, regional and national – to promote the idea of self-sufficiency and prosper life in the country, 1 strategy for an organization has been developed. Collaboration with 3 local municipalities was established.
The blog latgola.permakultura.lv was created. It contains extensive information on permaculture and sustainable strategies. The strategy and action plan for 2015-2020 of the organization has been made and partly published in the homepage.
The target group of the project was involved in seminars and master classes, volunteering work, Permaculture Festivals. They were addressed via social networks, the blog of the organization, and other media. The most important benefits for the target group in the project were the new skills and approaches they could acquire during the time the project was realized.

The empirical formula is C20H21O4C1 and the molecular weight is 360.83; fenofibrate is insoluble in water. The melting point is 79-82°C. Fenofibrate is a white solid which is stable under ordinary conditions.
Fenofibrate Capsules USP meet USP Dissolution Test 2.
Inactive Ingredients: Each hard gelatin capsule contains Gelucire 44/14 (lauroyl macrogol glyceride type 1500), polyethylene glycol 20,000, polyethylene glycol 8000, hydroxypropylcellulose, sodium starch glycolate, gelatin, titanium dioxide, shellac, propylene glycol, may also contain black iron oxide, FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Blue #2, FD&C Red #40, D&C Yellow #10.
Fenofibrate capsules are indicated as adjunctive therapy to diet to reduce elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (total-c), Triglycerides (TG) and apolopoprotein B (Apo B), and to increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in adult patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia.
Fenofibrate capsules are also indicated as adjunctive therapy to diet for treatment of adult patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Improving glycemic control in diabetic patients showing fasting chylomicronemia will usually obviate the need for pharmacologic intervention.
Fenofibrate at a dose equivalent to 150 mg was not shown to reduce coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality in 2 large, randomized controlled trials of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
In patients with mild-to-moderate renal impairment, treatment with fenofibrate capsules should be initiated at a dose of 50 mg per day, and increased only after evaluation of the effects on renal function and lipid levels at this dose. The use of fenofibrate should be avoided in patients with severe renal impairment [see Use in Specific Populations and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
50 mg: Size 3 white opaque gelatin capsule imprinted “G 246” and “50” in black ink.
150 mg: Size 1 white opaque gelatin capsule imprinted “G 248” and “150” in green ink.
50 mg: Size 3 white opaque/white opaque gelatin capsule, imprinted in black ink with “50” between lines on the body, “G 246” on the cap and containing a white to almost white paste, available in bottles of 90 (NDC 62559-460-90).
150 mg: Size 1 white opaque/white opaque gelatin capsule, imprinted in green ink with “150” between lines on the body, “G 248” on the cap and containing a white to almost white paste, available in bottles of 90 (NDC 62559-461-90).
Store at 25°C; excursions permitted at 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Keep out of the reach of children. Protect from moisture and light.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of fenofibrate: myalgia, rhabdomyolysis, pancreatitis, acute renal failure, muscle spasm, hepatitis, cirrhosis, anemia, arthralgia, decreases in hemoglobin, decreases in hematocrit, white blood cell decreases, asthenia, and severely depressed HDL cholesterol levels. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Potentiation of coumarin-type anticoagulant effect has been observed with prolongation of the PT/INR.
Caution should be exercised when fenofibrate is given in conjunction with coumarin anticoagulants. Fenofibrate may potentiate the anticoagulant effect of these agents resulting in prolongation of the PT/INR. To prevent bleeding complications, frequent monitoring of PT/INR and dose adjustment of the oral anticoagulant as recommended until the PT/INR has stabilized [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Immunosuppressant agents such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus can impair renal function and because renal excretion is the primary elimination route of fibrate drugs including fenofibrate capsules, there is a risk that an interaction will lead to deterioration of renal function. When immunosuppressants and other potentially nephrotoxic agents are co-administered with fenofibrate capsules, the lowest effective dose of fenofibrate capsules should be employed and renal function should be monitored.
Since bile-acid binding resins may bind other drugs given concurrently, patients should take fenofibrate at least 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hours after a bile acid binding resin to avoid impeding its absorption.
The effect of fenofibrate on coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality and non-cardiovascular mortality has not been established.
The Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes Lipid (ACCORD Lipid) trial was a randomized placebo-controlled study of 5518 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on background statin therapy treated with fenofibrate. The mean duration of follow-up was 4.7 years. Fenofibrate plus statin combination therapy showed a non-significant 8% relative risk reduction in the primary outcome of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and cardiovascular disease death (hazard ratio [HR] 0.92, 95% CI 0.79-1.08) (p=0.32) as compared to statin monotherapy. In a gender subgroup analysis, the hazard ratio for MACE in men receiving combination therapy versus statin monotherapy was 0.82 (95% CI 0.69-0.99), and the hazard ratio for MACE in women receiving combination therapy versus statin monotherapy was 1.38 (95% CI 0.98-1.94) (interaction p=0.01). The clinical significance of this subgroup finding is unclear.
Because of chemical, pharmacological, and clinical similarities between fenofibrate, clofibrate, and gemfibrozil, the adverse findings in 4 large randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies with these other fibrate drugs may also apply to fenofibrate capsules.
In the Coronary Drug Project, a large study of post myocardial infarction patients treated for 5 years with clofibrate, there was no difference in mortality seen between the clofibrate group and the placebo group. There was however, a difference in the rate of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis requiring surgery between the two groups (3.0% vs. 1.8%).
In a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), 5000 subjects without known coronary artery disease were treated with placebo or clofibrate for 5 years and followed for an additional one year. There was a statistically significant, higher age-adjusted all-cause mortality in the clofibrate group compared with the placebo group (5.70% vs. 3.96%, p= < 0.01). Excess mortality was due to a 33% increase in non-cardiovascular causes, including malignancy, post-cholecystectomy complications, and pancreatitis. This appeared to confirm the higher risk of gallbladder disease seen in clofibratetreated patients studied in the Coronary Drug Project.
The Helsinki Heart Study was a large (n=4081) study of middle aged men without a history of coronary artery disease. Subjects received either placebo or gemfibrozil for 5 years, with a 3.5 year open extension afterward. Total mortality was numerically higher in the gemfibrozil randomization group but did not achieve statistical significance (p=0.19, 95% confidence interval for relative risk G:P=0.91- 1.64). Although cancer deaths trended higher in the gemfibrozil group (p=0.11), cancers (excluding basal cell carcinoma) were diagnosed with equal frequency in both study groups. Due to the limited size of the study, the relative risk of death from any cause was not shown to be different than that seen in the 9 year follow-up data from the WHO study (RR=1.29).
Data from observational studies indicate that the risk for rhabdomyolysis is increased when fibrates, in particular gemfibrozil, are co-administered with an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin). The combination should be avoided unless the benefit of further alterations in lipid levels is likely to outweigh the increased risk of this drug combination [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Patients should be advised to report promptly unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, particularly if accompanied by malaise or fever. Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels should be assessed in patients reporting these symptoms, and fenofibrate therapy should be discontinued if markedly elevated CPK levels occur or myopathy is diagnosed.
Fenofibrate at doses equivalent to 100 mg to 150 mg fenofibrate per day has been associated with increases in serum transaminases [AST (SGOT) or ALT (SGPT)]. In a pooled analysis of 10 placebocontrolled trials of fenofibrate, increases to > 3 times the upper limit of normal of ALT occurred in 5.3% of patients taking fenofibrate versus 1.1% of patients treated with placebo. The incidence of increases in transaminases observed with fenofibrate therapy may be dose related. When transaminase determinations were followed either after discontinuation of treatment or during continued treatment, a return to normal limits was usually observed.
Chronic active hepatocellular and cholestatic hepatitis associated with fenofibrate therapy have been reported after exposures of weeks to several years. In extremely rare cases, cirrhosis has been reported in association with chronic active hepatitis.
Baseline and regular monitoring of liver tests, including ALT should be performed for the duration of therapy with fenofibrate, and therapy discontinued if enzyme levels persist above three times the normal limit.
Elevations in serum creatinine have been reported in patients on fenofibrate. These elevations tend to return to baseline following discontinuation of fenofibrate. The clinical significance of these observations is unknown. Monitor renal function in patients with renal impairment taking fenofibrate. Renal monitoring should also be considered for patients taking fenofibrate and are at risk for renal insufficiency, such as the elderly and patients with diabetes.
Caution should be exercised when fenofibrate is given in conjunction with coumarin anticoagulants. Fenofibrate may potentiate the anticoagulant effects of these agents resulting in prolongation of the Prothrombin Time/International Normalized Ratio (PT/INR). To prevent bleeding complications, frequent monitoring of PT/INR and dose adjustment of the anticoagulant are recommended until PT/INR has stabilized [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Mild to moderate decreases in hemoglobin, hematocrit, and white blood cell decreases have been observed in patients following initiation of fenofibrate therapy. However, these levels stabilize during long term administration. Thrombocytopenia and agranulocytosis have been reported in individuals treated with fenofibrate. Periodic monitoring of red and white blood cell counts is recommended during the first 12 months of fenofibrate administration.
Acute hypersensitivity reactions including severe skin rashes such as Steven-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis requiring patient hospitalization and treatment with steroids have been reported in individuals treated with fenofibrate. Urticaria was seen in 1.1 vs. 0% and rash in 1.4 vs. 0.8% of fenofibrate and placebo patients respectively in controlled trials.
In the FIELD trial, pulmonary embolus (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were observed at higher rates in the fenofibrate than the placebo-treated group. Of 9,795 patients enrolled in FIELD, 4,900 in the placebo group and 4,895 in the fenofibrate group. For DVT, there were 48 events (1%) in the placebo group and 67 (1%) in the fenofibrate group (p = 0.074); and for PE, there were 32 (0.7%) events in the placebo group and 53 (1%) in the fenofibrate group (p = 0.022).
Two dietary carcinogenicity studies have been conducted in rats with fenofibrate. In the first 24-month study, Wistar rats were dosed with fenofibrate at 10, 45 and 200 mg/kg/day, approximately 0.3, 1, and 6 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD), based on body surface are comparisons (mg/m²). At a dose of 200 mg/kg/day (at 6 times MRHD), the incidence of liver carcinoma was significantly increased in both sexes. A statistically significant increase in pancreatic carcinomas was observed in males at 1 and 6 times the MRHD; an increase in pancreatic adenomas and benign testicular interstitial cell tumors was observed in males at 6 times the MRHD. In a second 24- month study in a different strain of rats (Sprague-Dawley), doses of 10 and 60 mg/kg/day (0.3 and 2 times the MRHD) produced significant increases in the incidence of pancreatic acinar adenomas in both sexes and increases in testicular interstitial cell tumors in males at 2 times the MRHD.
A 117-week carcinogenicity study was conducted in rats comparing three drugs: fenofibrate 10 and 60 mg/kg/day (0.3 and 2 times the MRHD), clofibrate (400 mg/kg; 2 times the human dose), and gemfibrozil (250 mg/kg; 2 times the human dose, based on mg/m² surface area). Fenofibrate increased pancreatic acinar adenomas in both sexes. Clofibrate increased hepatocellular carcinomas in males and hepatic neoplastic nodules in females. Gemfibrozil increased hepatic neoplastic nodules in males and females, while all three drugs increased testicular interstitial cell tumors in males.
In a 21-month study in CF-1 mice, fenofibrate 10, 45 and 200 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.2, 1, and 3 times the MRHD on the basis of mg/m² surface area) significantly increased the liver carcinomas in both sexes at 3 times the MRHD. In a second 18 month study at 10, 60 and 200 mg/kg/day, fenofibrate significantly increased the liver carcinomas in male mice and liver adenomas in female mice at 3 times the MRHD.
In fertility studies rats were given oral dietary doses of fenofibrate, males received 61 days prior to mating and females 15 days prior to mating through weaning which resulted in no adverse effect on fertility at doses up to 300 mg/kg/day (approximately 10 times the MRHD, based on mg/m² surface area comparisons).
In pregnant rats given oral dietary doses of 14, 127, and 361 mg/kg/day from gestation day 6-15 during the period of organogenesis, adverse developmental findings were not observed at 14 mg/kg/day (less than 1 times the MRHD, based on body surface area comparisons; mg/m²). At higher multiples of human doses evidence of maternal toxicity was observed.
In pregnant rabbits given oral gavage doses of 15, 150, and 300 mg/kg/day from gestation day 6-18 during the period of organogenesis and allowed to deliver, aborted litters were observed at 150 mg/kg/day (10 times the MRHD, based on body surface area comparisons; mg/m²). No developmental findings were observed at 15 mg/kg/day (at less than 1 times the MRHD, based on body surface area comparisons; mg/m²).
Fenofibrate is substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Since elderly patients have a higher incidence of renal impairment, the dose selection for the elderly should be made on the basis of renal function [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Fenofibrate exposure is not influenced by age. Elderly patients with normal renal function should require no dose modifications. Consider monitoring renal function in elderly patients taking fenofibrate.
The use of fenofibrate should be avoided in patients who have severe renal impairment [see CONTRAINDICATIONS]. Dose reduction is required in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Monitoring renal function in patients with renal impairment is recommended.
The use of fenofibrate has not been evaluated in patients with hepatic impairment [see CONTRAINDICATIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
There is no specific treatment for overdose with fenofibrate. General supportive care of the patient is indicated, including monitoring of vital signs and observation of clinical status, should an overdose occur. If indicated, elimination of unabsorbed drug should be achieved by emesis or gastric lavage. The usual precautions should be observed to maintain the airway. Because fenofibrate is highly bound to plasma proteins, hemodialysis should not be considered.
patients with preexisting gallbladder disease [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
patients with known hypersensitivity to fenofibrate or fenofibric acid [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
The active metabolite of fenofibrate is fenofibric acid. The pharmacological effects of fenofibric acid in both animals and humans have been extensively studied through oral administration of fenofibrate.
The lipid-modifying effects of fenofibric acid seen in clinical practice have been explained in vivo in transgenic mice and in vitro in human hepatocyte cultures by the activation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α (PPARα). Through this mechanism, fenofibrate increases lipolysis and elimination of triglyceride-rich particles from plasma by activating lipoprotein lipase and reducing production of apoprotein C-III (an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase activity). The resulting decrease in triglycerides produces an alteration in the size and composition of LDL from small, dense particles (which are thought to be atherogenic due to their susceptibility to oxidation), to large buoyant particles. These larger particles have a greater affinity for cholesterol receptors and are catabolized rapidly. Activation of PPARα also induces an increase in the synthesis of apolipoproteins AI, AII and HDL cholesterol. Fenofibrate also reduces serum uric acid levels in hyperuricemic and normal individuals by increasing the urinary excretion of uric acid.
Elevated levels of total-c, LDL-C, and apo B and decreased levels of HDL-C and its transport complex, Apo AI and Apo AII, are risk factors for atherosclerosis. Epidemiologic investigations have established that cardiovascular morbidity and mortality vary directly with the level of total-c, LDL-C, and triglycerides, and inversely with the level of HDL-C. The independent effect of raising HDL-C or lowering triglycerides (TG) on the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined.
Fenofibric acid, the active metabolite of fenofibrate, produces reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, total triglycerides and triglyceride rich lipoprotein (VLDL) in treated patients. In addition, treatment with fenofibrate results in increases in high density lipoprotein (HDL) and apolipoproteins AI and AII.
The extent and rate of absorption of fenofibric acid after administration of 150 mg fenofibrate capsules are equivalent under low-fat and high-fat fed conditions to 160 mg TriCor® tablets.
Fenofibrate is a pro-drug of the active chemical moiety fenofibric acid. Fenofibrate is converted by ester hydrolysis in the body to fenofibric acid which is the active constituent measurable in the circulation. In a bioavailability study with fenofibrate capsules 200 mg, following single-dose administration, the plasma concentration (AUC) for the parent compound fenofibrate was approximately 40 μg/mL compared to 204 μg/mL for the metabolite, fenofibric acid. In the same study, the halflife was observed to be 0.91 hrs for the parent compound versus 16.76 hrs for the metabolite.
The absolute bioavailability of fenofibrate cannot be determined as the compound is virtually insoluble in aqueous media suitable for injection. However, fenofibrate is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Following oral administration in healthy volunteers, approximately 60% of a single dose of radiolabeled fenofibrate appeared in urine, primarily as fenofibric acid and its glucuronate conjugate, and 25% was excreted in the feces. Peak plasma levels of fenofibric acid occur within approximately 5 hours after oral administration.
The absorption of fenofibrate is increased when administered with food. With fenofibrate, the extent of absorption is increased by approximately 58% and 25% under high-fat fed and low-fat fed conditions as compared to fasting conditions, respectively.
In a single dose and multiple dose bioavailability study with fenofibrate capsules 200 mg, the extent of absorption (AUC) of fenofibric acid, the principal metabolite of fenofibrate, was 42% larger at steady state compared to single-dose administration. The rate of absorption (Cmax) of fenofibric acid was 73% greater after multiple-dose than after single-dose administration.
The extent of absorption of fenofibrate capsules in terms of AUC value of fenofibric acid increased in a less than proportional manner while the rate of absorption in terms of Cmax value of fenofibric acid increased proportionally related to dose.
Upon multiple dosing of fenofibrate, fenofibric acid steady state is achieved after 5 days. Plasma concentrations of fenofibric acid at steady state are slightly more than double those following a single dose. Serum protein binding was approximately 99% in normal and hyperlipidemic subjects.
Following oral administration, fenofibrate is rapidly hydrolyzed by esterases to the active metabolite, fenofibric acid; unchanged fenofibrate is detected at low concentrations in plasma compared to fenofibric acid over most of the single dose and multiple dosing periods.
In vitro and in vivo metabolism data indicate that neither fenofibrate nor fenofibric acid undergo oxidative metabolism (e.g., cytochrome P450) to a significant extent.
After absorption, fenofibrate is mainly excreted in the urine in the form of metabolites, primarily fenofibric acid and fenofibric acid glucuronide. After administration of radiolabeled fenofibrate, approximately 60% of the dose appeared in the urine and 25% was excreted in feces.
Fenofibric acid is eliminated with a half-life of approximately 20 hours allowing once daily dosing.
In elderly volunteers 77 to 87 years of age, the apparent oral clearance of fenofibric acid following a single oral dose of fenofibrate was 1.2 L/h, which compares to 1.1 L/h in young adults. This indicates that an equivalent dose of fenofibrate can be used in elderly subjects with normal renal function, without increasing accumulation of the drug or metabolites [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and Use in Specific Populations].
Pharmacokinetics of fenofibrate has not been studied in pediatric patients.
The pharmacokinetics of fenofibric acid was examined in patients with mild, moderate and severe renal impairment. Patients with mild (estimated glomerular filtration rate eGFR 60- 89 ml/min/1.73m²) to moderate (eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73m²) renal impairment had similar exposure but an increase in the half-life for fenofibric acid was observed as compared to that of healthy subjects. Patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m²) showed a 2.7-fold increase in exposure for fenofibric acid and increased accumulation of fenofibric acid during chronic dosing compared to that of healthy subjects. In patients with mild to moderate renal impairment, treatment with fenofibrate should be initiated at a dose of 50 mg per day, and increased only after evaluation of the effects on renal function and lipid levels at this dose. Based on these findings, the use of fenofibrate should be avoided in patients who have severe renal impairment.
In vitro studies using human liver microsomes indicate that fenofibrate and fenofibric acid are not inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP1A2. They are weak inhibitors of CYP2C8, CYP2C19 and CYP2A6, and mild to moderate inhibitors of CYP2C9 at therapeutic concentrations.
Table 2 describes the effects of co-administered drugs on fenofibric acid systemic exposure. Table 3 describes the effects of fenofibrate on co-administered drugs.
Clinical trials have not been conducted with fenofibrate capsules.
The effects of fenofibrate at a dose equivalent to 150 mg per day of fenofibrate was assessed from four randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group studies including patients with the following mean baseline lipid values: total-c 306.9 mg/dL; LDL-C 213.8 mg/dL; HDL-C 52.3 mg/dL; and triglycerides 191.0 mg/dL. Fenofibrate therapy lowered LDL-C, total-c, and the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio. Fenofibrate therapy also lowered triglycerides and raised HDL-C (see Table 4).
+Duration of study treatment was 3 to 6 months.
In a subset of the subjects, measurements of apo B were conducted. Fenofibrate treatment significantly reduced apo B from baseline to endpoint as compared with placebo (-25.1% vs. 2.4%, p < 0.0001, n=213 and 143 respectively).
The effects of fenofibrate on serum triglycerides were studied in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of 147 hypertriglyceridemic patients. Patients were treated for eight weeks under protocols that differed only in that one entered patients with baseline TG levels of 500 to 1500 mg/dL, and the other TG levels of 350 to 500 mg/dL. In patients with hypertriglyceridemia and normal cholesterolemia with or without hyperchylomicronemia, treatment with fenofibrate at dosages equivalent to 150 mg fenofibrate per day decreased primarily very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), triglycerides and VLDL cholesterol. Treatment of some with elevated triglycerides often results in an increase of LDL-C (see Table 5).

On Friday, with oil still falling and US Treasury bonds rallying, stocks were selling off, with the blue-chip Dow Jones seeing the heaviest losses.
Near noon, the Dow was down 230 points, the S&P 500 was down 21 points, and the Nasdaq was off 27 points.
Oil was making new lows on Friday, with West Texas Intermediate crude futures falling below $58 a barrel after piercing $60 for the first time on Thursday.
Friday's drop in oil prices comes after the International Energy Agency cut its oil-demand forecast for the fourth time in five months.
Brent crude oil, the international benchmark, was also dropping sharply on Friday, falling below $62 a barrel.
And while oil prices have dropped more than 40% in just about six months, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said at the Dealbook conference on Thursday that after returning to New York from a trip in the Middle East, he is more bearish than ever on oil prices.
Amid the decline in oil prices, long-date US Treasury bonds were staging a huge rally on Friday, with the yield on 10-year bonds falling below 2.1% and 30-year bond yields falling to as low as 2.76%, the lowest in about two years.
We also got two pieces of economic data on Friday. The producer price index showed that prices fell 0.2% in November, more than the 0.1% decline that was expected by economists.
Consumer confidence, however, is booming, with the latest University of Michigan consumer confidence reading coming in at 93.8, the highest since January 2007.

Shopping online for art is hard! There are so many factors to consider when choosing your art.
Do I want a framed print or a canvas wrap? What colors will work in my space? How should I frame it? And oh, hardest one of all... the SIZE. Ugh.
It can be a bit overwhelming.
Well friend, I understand! And I happen to have insider knowledge that can help.
My very first job was in the framing department at Aaron Brothers where I learned everything you need to know about sizing and how to properly frame your art to make it last.
Generally, your art should cover 2/3 to 3/4 of the available wall space you'd like to cover. But just in case you're still not sure, I've created size charts that will help take the guesswork out of choosing the right size for your wall.
Framed Prints: The mat and frame will add to the size and presence of the print when you hang it on the wall, so with prints it's possible to get away with going a bit smaller.
But you can see in the example below, that 8x10 is pretty tiny. Now a grouping of 8x10's on this wall with thicker frames would probably work but an 8x10 by itself is well, sad.
Here is the thing: When it comes to choosing the size of your art, bigger really is better. I know that sounds like a sneaky up-selling technique but I promise you it is not.
I am speaking from my honest experience in my own home, and also helping many others choose the right size prints for their homes.
Dinky wall art just does not look right! It doesn’t. Okay so let's take a look at some larger sizes.
Now here my heart starts to beat a little faster. These sizes have ooomph, they have presence, they make a statement! And they bring the focus onto the beautiful piece of art you've invested in.
Canvas wraps: The Bigger is Better concept applies even more strongly when considering canvas wrap sizes, because they don't have a mat or a frame to add to their size. See how small the 8x10 and 11x14 are here?
My personal recommendation for canvas wraps is that 16x20 is the smallest size you should hang by itself on a wall. Anything smaller than that really gets lost.
Now here we have the larger canvases and once again my heart sings! They are stunning in the larger sizes. My personal favorite is 20x30. It's a versatile size that can be hung just about anywhere and stands on its own really well.
What we tend to do is look at the wall, look at our budget (eep!), and then skimp on the size because it’s more affordable. And then we spend the next few years wishing that gorgeous photo had more impact on the wall.
Don’t let this be you! Art is an investment that will last you many years. Make it a worthwhile investment and get the right size. Your eyes and the rest of your carefully curated home decor will thank you.

yes its a new stupid thing called "work tax" now you also pay for working in your own companies , you usually still make a profit but you can get the idea why its bad for the economy , since it screws low Q factories.
Well, I think its not a horrible idea. And if you think the tax is too high, you should petition the government to lower it to 1% or 5%.
Its a new scheme to ensure CC is not accumulated too fast while taking longer for citizens to buy/upgrade companies (if they even wish to do so now) unless they simply buy gold.
The really ugly thing is that players(via their governments) actually embrace it and set it higher because of its appeal to raise more money for government expenses.

One of the best things about a summer reunion is that you and your family can stay on campus and extend the reunion festivities beyond scheduled events, stay in the residence halls, reminiscent of your student days, and enjoy being near the center of activities.
Holmes Hall will be the primary campus residence for reunion. It’s large enough to fit most reunion residents, clustered by year. It features beautiful common spaces and is a very flexible building, with single, double, and quad rooms available.
The apartments, built in 2002, are also great reunion residences. They are the perfect choice for those who would like more privacy, or want a quieter space.
All housing buildings have secure key-card access, kitchen facilities, and large common areas. They do not have air conditioning.
While on campus, you will have access to athletic facilities and will be able to connect to L&C’s wireless internet.
To make room, roommate, accessibility and other special housing requests, please email Caroline Mead at cmead@lclark.edu.
Please note that no pets are allowed in on-campus housing. If you have a service animal and would like to stay on campus, please contact Caroline Mead at cmead@lclark.edu or 503-768-7955.
Please see off-campus housing options at the bottom of this page.
Holmes is located in the south end of the campus in the area formerly known as the “Hartzfeld woods” and is the newest addition to campus buildings. It is a large hall with 170 beds in a combination of single and double rooms, and a limited number of suites, available to sophomores and up during the academic year.
Rooms have a shared sleeping and living space. Each floor has co-ed and private bathrooms and the hall features several well-equipped kitchens. Beautiful indoor and outdoor common areas – including outdoor fireplace and patio – provide great spaces to enjoy and catch up with friends.
Holmes Hall boasts LEED Gold certification and has a number of “green” features such as storm-water management system, energy reduction technology, bicycle storage, reuse and recycling of materials, sustainable building materials, and more. In addition, trees from the Hartzfeld woods were used throughout the building. U.S. Green Building Council uses LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) to provide standards for environmentally sustainable design, construction, and operation of buildings.
The apartments were finished in 2002 and houses juniors and seniors during the academic year. Apartments have special ADA rooms in each building that are available by request.
Please note that you will be assigned a room with a locking door, but you will have a bathroom/kitchen area shared with up to three other guests from approximately the same class years.
Quad suites have separate bedrooms for each resident with one twin bed, wardrobe, dresser, and desk per room (that means couples will have separate rooms). Each quad suite shares a furnished living room, full kitchen (4-range stove top, oven, refrigerator), and two bathroom/vanity areas. Double suites also have separate bedrooms for each resident, a living area with a couch and coffee table, a kitchenette (2-range stove top, microwave, and refrigerator), and a bathroom/vanity area.
In addition, each building features high ceilings and spacious lounges, providing you with a central area to watch TV, sit by the fireplace, or catch up with friends. Apartment buildings were awarded the LEED Silver certification. U.S. Green Building Council uses LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) to provide standards for environmentally sustainable design, construction, and operation of buildings.
Housing is offered per bed, per night, based on the type of lodging preferred. All beds are single beds. Lodging is offered starting at 3 p.m. on Thursday, June 20. The final check-out day is Monday, June 24. On-campus guests turn their key in at Campus Safety at the end of their stay.
Please note, pricing is really per bed and linen pack. All beds are single beds. If you are bringing small children who do not need a separate bed and linens, you do not need to register them for housing online as you will be charged for the bed. Please do register them as a guest at Alumni Weekend so we are sure to have a name tag ready for them. Room keys and building access cards will only be issued to each paying resident.
You lived here at some point, so we guess you won’t be shocked to find no room service menu when you arrive.
Provided: furniture (bed, dresser, desk, wardrobe), linens, one pillow per bed, a very small towel and washcloth per bed, bathroom tissue. Apartment kitchens and Holmes hall kitchens are equipped with microwaves, refrigerators, and ranges.
Bring with you: toothpaste and toothbrush, toiletries, mending kits, cooking utensils/cookware/tableware/eating utensils (if you intend to use kitchen facilities), bathroom robe and slippers, full size towel, hangers. Also, please note their are no irons.
Rent or borrow: equipment for children. Please contact Katelyn’s Closet at (503) 293-4333 to arrange for rentals. Please plan ahead if you’d like to borrow from Katelyn’s Closet, they request that this be done 2 months prior, as they need to update their inventory, and make sure items you request are in stock.
If you forget things, or need to buy something, the bookstore has some travel-sized essentials, and in a pinch you can always take the city bus to Fred Meyer or take a beautiful walk to Market of Choice.
You will pick up an access card and key for each person you register when you arrive on campus. If you arrive on campus during a time when Alumni Weekend Check-in is closed for the night, we will make special arrangements for you to check in.
You will access the building with an access card and your room with a key.
When you are ready to depart campus, you will need to turn in your key at Campus Security. If you do not turn in a key when you check out, you will incur a $150 fine.
You will book on-campus housing when you register for Alumni Weekend. You will be able to choose between a residence hall or an apartment when you register.
We will do our best to place you next to your classmates. People who register together will automatically be placed in a room together as numbers allow. If you are registering for the weekend separately but would like to stay in a room together or if you have any other housing preferences, please contact Caroline Mead at cmead@lclark.edu or 503-768-7955 after you submit your registration.
Confirmations on your building, and your roommates (if you are a family or submitted a preference to stay with friends) will be emailed to you prior to your arrival on campus.
