Kinkajous make excellent pets when provided with the right care. Their affectionate and gentle nature makes them a popular pet choice among exotic animal lovers.Continue Reading
A large cage with plenty of climbing spaces is essential to accommodate kinkajous, since they are native climbers in their rainforest home. Nocturnal and extremely active, kinkajous do best with owners who provide them with adequate attention. Exercise is important, and kinkajous should be let out to play for several hours each day. Also known as the "honey bear," the kinkajou requires daily fresh fruits and vegetables. Dates, fig bars, graham crackers and raisins may be given as treats.Learn more about Mammals

California studio Smith|Allen has completed the world's first architectural structure using standard 3D printing technology.
Entitled Echoviren, the pavilion consists of 585 individually printed components produced on seven Series 1 desktop printers by Type A Machines.
The printers took two months and 10,800 hours to print the components, and four days to assemble them on site.
Each component is made of a plant-based PLA bio-plastic which will cause the structure to decompose over time ranging from 30 to 50 years.
"As it weathers, it will become a micro-habitat for insects, moss and birds," the architects said.
The structure was built in a redwood forest for Project 387, an arts residency programme in San Francisco.
"The texture [of the structure] is based on a study of the cellular forms of sequoia cells," Brian Allen of Smith|Allen told architecture blog, Dezeen. "Their structure allows the trees to maintain huge amounts of strength with a minimum volume."
Allen added: "The overall form is driven by the structural requirements of building in PLA. The section is pyramidal so each of the walls is self supporting. As the structure is completed it becomes a compression structure with the top most layer forming a compression ring."

Of recent, nomadic tendencies have appeared within modern menswear trends, especially those of Northern Africa and the Middle East, such as with the 2016 spring/summer collection at CAMO.
In another article that I posted today on African menswear, I made mention of the nomadic peoples called the Tuareg, who were originally from the Sahara, most likely Libya, but migrated southward 2,000 years ago.
The Tuareg belong to the Berber peoples of North Africa, who call themselves Imazighen—'free people'.
Many of us are familiar with the footballer Zenidine Zidane, who is an Algerian Berber.
Interestingly, prior to the 9th century most of Northwest Africa was Berber speaking but were slowly arabized.
Still, the Berbers are the largest minority group in Northern Africa.
Today, the Tuareg inhabit the central regions of the Sahara throughout North and West Africa.
In the Tuareg culture, the men cover their face with a veil or turban rather than the women.
Normally this veil (Alasho) is indigo blue and, hence, the Tuareg nickname—"the Blue People.

LDS Tools
Discussions around the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch versions of the LDS Tools Application.

LDS Tools
I had LDS tools on my Ipad. Today I tried to to update it and I just got the LDS Tools app with no data. I deleted the app and installed it again and got the same thing. I tried to sync it but I still just get the LDS Tools app. When I click on the app it does nothing. I have turned the Ipad off and on to see if that works and I still just get the app.
I'm a developer on the app. Our app was having some problems syncing, particularly on Sundays, for the past few weeks. Those issues seem to be resolved and the vast majority of users are syncing successfully. If you are still having issues, which it looks like you are, I'd like some more information to help me track down the problem. Are you getting an error message when you "Update Data"? Something like "directory services unavailable"? If you could let me know which message you are getting, it would help me find a resolution for you.
I had the app on my Ipad first (2.03 version - I think it was).I clicked on the app and it asked me for my user name and password. I typed in my user name and started putting my password in. I made an error and started to erase what I had typed and before I could correct it, it went out of that screen. I went to where it said to update the app, which I did, and when I updated it, it just gave me the app. I clicked on the app and nothing happened - there was no message. So, I uninstalled it and downloaded the app again. When I downloaded the app, all I got was the app on my Ipad screen. I clicked on the app again and nothing happened. I got no message of any kind. When I tried to sync it I got the same thing. It's like it is frozen up. I have uninstalled and installed it a couple of times and still get the same thing. I sure hope you can help me. I need it for my calling. I tried again today to reinstall it but it did the same thing.

Spurs Ladies U14s win national futsal title
06 July 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs Ladies Under-14s have been crowned Futsal champions of England!
The girls triumphed in the FA National Futsal Finals in Birmingham.
Futsal is mainly played indoors on a smaller playing area with a smaller-size football.
1,200 teams originally entered the competition and qualified through a regional qualifying campaign.
Ten regional winners went on to represent their region in the finals at the Birmingham Futsal Arena for the right to be crowned National Champions.
Spurs Under-14s team won every game in the group stages and then completed a memorable day by winning their semi-final and then the final by a comprehensive scoreline of 5-1.
Courtney Parsons led the way with a hat-trick with a double from Giorgina Baldwin completing the scoring.
Coach Ian Biggadike said: "The girls were magnificent at the finals and the quality of football they displayed was a real credit to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
"I am really proud of every single one of our players and I know their parents feel the same way. To be champions of England is a great feeling and a magnificent achievement, something we will remember forever."

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Jakarta governor Joko Widodo, who captured the hearts of millions of Indonesians with his common man image, won the country's presidential election with 53 percent of the vote, final results showed Tuesday.
Widodo, a former furniture exporter known to most as "Jokowi," is the first candidate in a direct presidential election with no ties to the former dictator Suharto, who ruled for 30 years before being overthrown in 1998.
The other contender, former general Prabowo Subianto, declared he was withdrawing from the contest shortly before the numbers were released by the Election Commission, saying there was massive fraud during the election and that it was unfair and undemocratic.
Widodo had maintained a slim lead of about 4 percentage points in unofficial "quick counts" by polling agencies released after the July 9 election. But Subianto, who has declared assets of $140 million and was on his third bid for the presidency, repeatedly claimed that polling firms with links to his campaign showed he was ahead.
"We reject the 2014 presidential election which is illegitimate and therefore we withdraw from the ongoing process," he said.
Observers of the July 9 election said they were generally fair and free, with minimal abnormalities. Maswadi Rauf, a political professor at the University of Indonesia, said he saw no sign of significant fraud, as alleged by Subianto.
Subianto's rejection of the results "reflects the real attitudes of the elite, who have not yet ready to accept losing," Rauf said. "We are still in transition to democracy, which is indeed not our culture. And what is happening indicates we still immature, we need to learn."
There were no immediate reports of violence. About 100 Subianto supporters held a peaceful protest about 300 meters (300 yards) from the Election Commission building in downtown Jakarta, chanting "Prabowo is the real president" and holding banners saying that the commission should stop cheating.
The building was surrounded by thousands of policemen to maintain security after a particularly nasty presidential campaign marred by smear tactics from both camps. Widodo blamed his drop in opinion polls in the weeks before the election on character assaults that accused him, among other things, of not being a follower of Islam — which he denounced.
Subianto, meanwhile, came from a wealthy, well-known family. He had a dubious human rights record during his military career, but was seen as a strong and decisive leader. His campaign was better financed and he also got endorsements from most of the country's major political parties.
Despite Widodo's lack of experience in national politics, he built a reputation as being a man of the people and an efficient leader who wants to advance democratic reforms and was elected to run the capital in 2012. He is widely viewed as untainted by the often corrupt military and business elite that has run Indonesia for decades.
Final results showed that Widodo won 70,997,859 votes, or 53.15 percent of the nearly 133 million valid ballots cast, while Subianto won 62,576,444 votes, or 46.85 percent.
Voter turnout topped 70 percent. The commission was to formally declare the winner later Tuesday evening.

Too big to fail banks are too big for regulationWritten by admin on April 28, 2015 – 8:47 pm
Concerns are mounting that Australia's big banks are disregarding risk and may not be capitalised enough to withstand a conceivable property correction.
Today, the Australian Financial Review reported Sydney home prices are growing five-times faster than wages. Such rapid increases in property prices over one's ability to service the mortgage has caused ratings agency Moody to warn the risks of mortgage defaults in Sydney and Melbourne is increasing.
According to Moody, a single breadwinner household in Sydney would be spending an "unsustainable" 70 per cent of their income on the mortgage. With interest rates at abnormal lows, levels not seen in decades, fear is starting to mount the risk of default and delinquency will multiply when interest rates return to more normal levels.
This view is one shared with the banking regulator, the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA), who last year opened its macro-prudential tool kit and provided guidelines to the banks to stress test buyers with a minimum 7 per cent mortgage rate, providing borrowers a buffer for when rates return to normal.
The Australian Financial Review revealed last week ('How National Australia Bank circumvents rules to stop a property bubble'), National Australia Bank is not abiding by these guidelines for more risky property investors who currently own one or more investment properties and are seeking new mortgages to expand their portfolios. Rather, a confidential NAB mortgage calculator shows it is applying the current mortgage rate, which can be as low as 4.29 per cent.
This comes on top of earlier reports showing National Australia Bank has increased lending to property investors by 13 percent last year, when APRA said it would not like to see growth exceed 10 per cent – another macro-prudential measure.
The big banks imprudent desire to operate with razor thin capital to enhance super profits could be significantly impacted by Australia losing its coveted AAA credit rating, a result likely with further deterioration of the federal budget and a dysfunctional government. The Financial System Inquiry (FSI) chairman David Murray said today if the government lost its AAA rating, the downgrade would hit our banks who rely on foreign funds underwritten by the federal Treasury. Murray, CEO of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia between 1992 and 2005, holds the view our banks are under-capitalised and a growing risk to the economy as they lend excessively to our "housing casino".
Robert Mead, PIMCO's head of portfolio management in Australia has weighed support into the debate saying banks should raise more capital to protect against the potential fallout from over extended households. ('PIMCO calls on banks to do their bit and raise capital')
Mead told Fairfax, "In five months since [the introduction of macro-prudential tools] we've seen a continuation of a strong property price rally in certain markets,"
With many of the banks ignoring APRA's macro-prudential guidelines, Mead commented "These sorts of macro tools are important, but don't appear to be working."
"The way to reduce this risk is to have a banking system that is even more robust. Asking banks to raise more equity capital is a way to de-lever the system, and I would argue the long term benefit to the shareholder is that their bank becomes more resilient."
The Murray FSI report last year published findings of a stress test conducted by APRA showing a mining downturn, rising unemployment and a housing correction "would be sufficient to render Australia's major banks insolvent in the absence of further capital raising." ('Australian banks not the safest in the world – far from it.')

Exuberant Sydney housing market disparate of real economy: Glenn StevensWritten by admin on April 21, 2015 – 8:57 pm
Reserve Bank Governor Glenn Stevens told a New York audience there is too much focus on the 'exuberant' Sydney property bubble. Addressing The American Australian Association luncheon, Stevens said: "Then there are dwelling prices, which, at a national level, have already risen considerably from their previous lows, at a time when income growth has been slowing. Popular commentary is, in my opinion, too focused on Sydney prices and pays too little attention to the more disparate trends among the other 80 per cent of Australia. That said, it is hard to escape the conclusion that Sydney prices – up by a third since 2012 – look rather exuberant."
As we have reported over the past couple of months, the central bank has been unable to cut the official cash rate further after igniting the property bubble in February with a 25 basis point cut. Meanwhile the rest of the "real economy" suffers. Mr Stevens says "A balance has to be found."
Last night's comments could be seen as an indication the Reserve Bank will look beyond, or side-step, the Sydney property bubble when it sits in two weeks time to consider the official cash rate setting. But it could also be more jawboning, as the risks in doing so are too high to ignore. The central bank is worried about our record level of household debt, the highest in the Advanced world according to Barclays.
Stevens remarked last night, "The extent to which further increases in leverage should be encouraged is not easily answered, but nor can it be conveniently side-stepped. Even if we chose to ignore it, monetary policy's ability to support demand by inducing households to bring forward spending that would otherwise be done in future might well turn out to be weaker than it used to be. For a start, households already did a lot of that in the past and, in any event, future income growth itself looks lower than it did a few years ago."
And then there is the strong message for our dysfunctional government. The RBA can't do all the heavy lifting via monetary policy:
"Across much of the world, too much weight is being put on monetary policy to try to achieve what it can't: a durable and sustainable increase in growth, in an environment where private leverage is already rather high or even too high. Monetary policy alone won't deliver that."
Will the central bank cut next month? – or is the bank out of ammo and crying out to our government for some intervention?

Regulators getting hammered by overheating housing: ABC, The BusinessWritten by admin on April 16, 2015 – 9:18 pm
The last instalment of the ABC's property bubble special aired tonight, focused on the "biggest headache in decades" for regulators trying to breath life into the economy, while the housing bubble accelerates on cheap credit.

Australia's banks on shaky ground: ABC, The BusinessWritten by admin on April 14, 2015 – 8:35 pm
The ABC has tonight delivered its second instalment on Australia's housing bubble, the brewing banking crisis and tomorrow night – what the regulators are doing to try to limit the catastrophic damage.
You can watch tonight's segment here – Is 1.6 trillion dollars in housing loans too hot too handle?
The ABC says there is good reasons to be wary of our banks $1.6 trillion exposure to Australia's hot property sector with the banks borrowing a lot of money from foreigners with the backing of their mortgage portfolios.
As we reported back in November last year, ('Have the Big 4 just flunked APRA's stress test?') Australia's banks are super profitable, but it comes about from flouting their privilege in calculating their own risk ratings. ('Australian banks not the safest in the world – far from it')
Brian Johnson, a Banking analyst with CLSA told the ABC tonight, any sort of self assessment is fought with danger, "I've been a bank analyst for a long time and I've never ever seen a bank accurately forecast that there would ever be a problem anywhere."
We reported in November last year, Westpac only believes 15 percent of its residential mortgages are at risk, the lowest risk rating of any of the banks. The big 4 banks have been cutting their risk ratings so fine to reduce the amount of loss adsorbing capital they need to hold, all in a bid to increase super profits and out do each other.
The ABC reported tonight, the OECD is recommending regulators, such as Australia's banking regulator APRA, should no longer accept the banks own risk assessments of their own mortgage portfolios. Australian banks are now holding less capital than before the GFC hit, due to their watered down risk ratings.
A lack of capital underpinning the banking system could raise its ugly head if our over-extended property market begins to level off.
Both Martin North of Digital Finance Analytics & Brian Johnson is concerned with the behaviour of the irrational negative gearing investor with interest only loans. Currently they lose money, week after week, though poor rental returns but with the hope of big capital gains when they sell. If the unsustainable and overheated property market were to level off, or start falling, all these investors could head too the exits at the same time.
Australia is only one of three countries with negative gearing on residential property and a housing correction of the size we now face has never been tested before.
Tomorrow night the ABC will examine what (little) regulators are doing in trying to contain the situation.

Iron ore plunge: "There seems to be no floor" – HockeyWritten by admin on April 13, 2015 – 10:08 pm
Plunging prices for Australia's largest export, iron ore, has forced Atlas Iron to announce on Friday, it was suspending operations and shutting down production over the next couple of weeks. The announcement will see the loss of 500 jobs at its Pilbara mines and another 75 redundancies at its head office in Perth. The mines will be put on care and maintenance with the hope prices will one day improve.
With four weeks until the Federal Budget, Treasurer Joe Hockey is now modelling the budget around an iron ore price of just $35 USD a tonne, telling Fairfax, "There seems to be no floor."
According to UBS analysts, the $35 target price is only $1 over the break-even price for Australia's largest miners, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto.
The shutdown of Atlas comes at a bad time for the Pilbara region and Port Hedland. According to SQM Research, asking prices for houses in the town has collapsed 22.6 per cent in the last year, down 33.4 percent over the past three years.
Average rents for houses have fallen 34.2 per cent over the year and 51.5 per cent over the past three years.
In February 2015, the ABC reported on a 1965 fibro and iron three bedroom home brought four years ago for $1.3 million, being passed in at $360,000. The hopeful owners' currently have it listed on RealEstate.com for $590,000. The closure of Atlas will be another blow for the owner.
According to an article published yesterday ('We travelled across China and returned terrified for the economy'), a Bloomberg metals analyst, Kenneth Hoffman, believes China's metal markets are "a lot worse than you think." He commented, "China's metals demand is plummeting."
The World Bank has indicated a slowdown of China will have a "significant negative impact" on Australia ('China slowdown 'will hit Australia')
Data released today by the China Customs Bureau show exports slumped sharply in March, down 14.6 per cent for the year. Exports to Europe and Japan was down just short of 20 per cent. Imports were also extremely weak, down 12.3 per cent.
The plunge in iron ore comes about from mass overbuilding in China, something we detailed back in June 2013, ("GFC2 – Will it be made in China?')

Housing bubble, banking and the regulators – A special report on ABC's The Business.Written by admin on April 13, 2015 – 8:45 pm
This week, the ABC's The Business will air three special reports on "Property, banking and how the government and regulators are handling bubble risk."
Tonight's special report can be watched online at Plenty of froth over housing, but is it a bubble?.
Lindsay David, author of Australia Boom to Bust has no doubts we are in a credit fuelled housing bubble showing the ABC reporter, a 65 year old weatherboard home, 45 minutes from Sydney that recently sold for $1.38 million, $300,000 over reserve. The reporter compared the price to other homes overseas and presented data showing over the past 40 years, Australia had the strongest house price growth of any country except Norway. Lindsay also dismissed any notion we had a housing shortage.
SQM Research's Louis Christopher said at this point the Sydney property market was 25 per cent over valued and would likely to be 40 per cent overvalued by the end of the year. Louis indicated other markets were already correcting, like Perth where rents are down 8 per cent and prices are being held up only by cheap credit. "Darwin was clearly in correction territory."
The reporter touched on Australia's record level of household debt, recently hitting 153.8% of household disposable income. Lindsay said this level of debt leaves the whole property market vulnerable to potential prices falls of up to 50 per cent. "What history tells us, is that when bubbles burst, we move back to the long term medians, in the event of deleveraging"
Emeritus Prof. Mike Berry says property bubbles need a trigger to pop, suggesting rising interest rates or moves to limit house lending could trigger the pop. Another external shock, he suggests, could be the Chinese economy "suddenly hitting the wall" that would quickly see unemployment rise and demand for housing "fall quite significantly, quite quickly."
The ABC reporter concludes, "But it is also possible that the property market could ultimately collapse simply under the weight of its own debt"
The Business airs on ABC News 24 at 8:30pm AEDT.

RBA holds off playing with fireWritten by admin on April 7, 2015 – 2:59 pm
Today's decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to leave interest rates unchanged is likely to indicate APRA's crackdown on the banks ('APRA to keep banking crackdown secret') has not been fully executed. Without these crucial measures in place, the central bank can't take the risk of further fueling the Sydney and Melbourne property bubbles.
Last month, Reserve Bank statistics indicated household debt in Australia has reached a record high of 153.8 per cent of household disposable income. Barclay's research shows Australian households now have the highest level of household debt in the Advanced world. Further leveraging at a time when the rest of the Australian economy is slowing, leaves households particularity vulnerable.
Today's statement on the monetary policy decision included the common paragraph with a few minor changes:
Credit is recording moderate growth overall. Growth in lending to investors in housing assets is stronger than to owner-occupiers, though neither appears to be picking up further at present. [RBA ought to be happy] Lending to businesses, on the other hand, has been strengthening recently. [Another positive..] Dwelling prices continue to rise strongly in Sydney, though trends have been more varied in a number of other cities. The Bank is working with other regulators to assess and contain risks that may arise from the housing market. In other asset markets, prices for equities and commercial property have risen, in part as a result of declining long-term interest rates.
The last sentence could indicate the RBA is sensitive to creating bubbles in other markets from an abnormally low cash setting. Cutting interest rates could/has force some savers to seek out higher yields in the share market, creating new asset bubbles. Equity markets are already fully priced. The RBA raised concern about the commercial property market in last month's Financial Stability Report ('Risks increase in Australian commercial property'.)

MINNEAPOLIS — Ron Gardenhire isn't the kind of guy who gets frazzled, but there was no denying that was his state of mind early Saturday evening.
His Minnesota Twins had lost to the Kansas City Royals for the second game in a row, at least temporarily losing their control of the American League Central race, and now all Gardenhire wanted to do was get away from baseball, at least for a few hours. The last thing he wanted to do was follow the White Sox's game against Cleveland, but he wasn't optimistic about his chances of avoiding in-game reports.

Modular Offices Completely Remove Hidden Costs and Delays
Your building can be made spacious overnight through modular office additions. This is one of the most inexpensive ways to add to your current facility. This space is designed to blend beautifully with your existing building structure and to provide modern modular office space.
Fitting Out a New Office
For those businesses fortunate enough to be up scaling to new premises there is generally some modifications to be done on the new building, it's seldom that the existing layout suits the requirements of the business exactly. Number of staff, machines and the type of business will be a major factor in determining any new design.
Tunnelling Techniques Used To Create Tunnels
Tunnels have been created for many important and useful reasons. For example, tunnels have been created to greatly cut down on journey times, aqueducts to supply water for consumption, hydroelectric stations, sewers, and basic power/telecommunication cables. Life without tunnels in the modern world would be very different indeed - and we often take these great engineering feats for granted.
Ready to Kiss the Sky Once Again!
Started a while ago in the US, the sub-prime lending crisis gradually engulfed the whole world. The major industries such as real estate and financial institutes have become the most vulnerable victims. The recession was so intense that many could not hesitate to compare with the Great Depression of 1930s.
What Is a CDM Co-Ordinator And Why Are They Important?
The CDM Co-ordinator (CDM-C) is a statutory appointment under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 and is a key part of the team when undertaking a notifiable construction project (those that are longer that 30 working days or 500 person days on site). The CDM Co-ordinator is appointed by the project client and it is imperative that they are brought in as early as possible; no later than after the initial design work is completed.
The Effect Of The Recession On The Construction Industry
A recession is a decline in general business activity. For the duration of a nationwide recession, a country experiences a slump in buying, selling, and production, and an increase in unemployment. A recession may also affect a particular industry or region.
Five Things Wrong with Commercial Rooftop HVAC Ductwork
Nearly every commercial building has HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) equipment, especially ductwork, on the roof. This ductwork is easy to ignore--unless you're a building superintendent responsible for managing the costs of operating the building.
Great Advantages of Steel Buildings
Innovations on building kits have been made from time to time. Nowadays, Pre Fabricated and Pre Engineered steel building kits are used by many. They are seen to have great advantages compared to traditional building supplies and equipment. It is much easier to use as well.
Use Your Commercial Building as a Rain Water Collection System
It is amazing how much water is wasted and never retained by municipalities or County governments during large rainfalls. There are often storms which dump 2 to 3 inches of rain in a region and what people don't understand is that a large parking lot at Walmart could collect well over 1.5 million gallons of water during a storm that size.
Bollards: What Functions Are Top Priority?
When considering bollard purposes, architects, specifiers, construction managers and property owners must first determine what a particular project needs. Bollards can provide property and perimeter security, can serve as refined architectural accents, or can offer both functions in many cases.
Save Money and Time Using Modular Office Buildings
In today's time, making the decision to open up a new business or even facing the need to build additions to existing location in order to meet the growing demands of a company's increase in productivity can cause tremendous concern for most any company's finances. It is also a business decision that numerous companies must make every single day.

I don't know what it is, but I crave citrus all the time, especially in the summertime. I know it's not officially summer, but it feels like summer. Today should cap off around 86 degrees in our zipcode with about a thousand percent humidity.
Citrus always sounds so bright and refreshing, don't you think?
If you're anything like me, you will need to wake up and make these coconut lemon bombs.
They are seriously the perfect lemony bite and help to satisfy my citrus itch, while being desserty at the same time. GF, DF, no refined sugar - only the good stuff! The recipe makes 24 or so balls (depending on how big you roll them), but they are easy to binge on, so don't be surprised if your 24 turns in to 12 in a blink. These treats pair nicely with juicy cut nectarine or orange slices.
Pucker up, sunshine!

The Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 administrative model has worked well since its introduction with Exchange Server 4.0 in 1996. However, the model's integrated approach can't deliver the flexibility and control that large enterprises require. The model, which isn't particularly open, builds on the Messaging API (MAPI) programming interface—an interface that has failed to capture much support in the administrative sphere, largely because MAPI targets only Exchange Server.
Exchange 2000 Server does almost everything differently from Exchange Server 5.5, so I wasn't surprised to discover that its administrative model is nothing like Exchange Server 5.5's. To its credit, Microsoft has attempted to add flexibility and powerful programming capabilities and to more closely integrate Exchange 2000 management into Windows 2000's basic management framework. At the same time, the new version of Exchange Server seeks to serve a huge market that ranges from single systems serving as many as 100 users to multinode clusters supporting tens of thousands of users in corporate messaging environments.
These diverse goals make for a tall order, and Microsoft's work isn't complete yet—although the early signs are promising. To successfully manage an Exchange 2000 deployment, administrators need to understand all the new features in both Win2K and Exchange 2000. To assist you in this task, I offer a three-part series about managing Exchange 2000—beginning with the basics about Exchange 2000's new management goals, the new product's place in the Win2K management architecture, and Exchange Server management during the transition to Exchange 2000.
Exchange 2000 Management Goals
After you've used Exchange Server 5.5 for a while, managing your Exchange Server organization is fairly straightforward. The finer points of adjusting connectors and accomplishing directory replication—especially across distributed networks—can take time to fully master, but Microsoft has tuned the basic Exchange Server architecture through the past three releases to eliminate most annoying glitches. In Exchange 2000, Microsoft needed to preserve all the advantages of Exchange Server 5.5 and at the same time create a new management architecture that
- supports the partitioning of roles between Exchange Server for server management and Active Directory (AD) for user management.
- provides one management interface that small, midsized, or large systems can fine-tune as needed.
- provides flexible programming interfaces to let enterprises develop monitoring and management tools or integrate Exchange Server into third-party tools—or vice versa. (You can integrate Exchange 2000 into a NetIQ management environment, or you can build tools to use some of the Exchange 2000 programming interfaces. This flexibility simply doesn't exist in Exchange Server 5.5.)
- Directory management—This task comprises basic AD management, including replication. Directory management also involves designing and deploying organizational units (OUs) and Group Policy Objects (GPOs), as well as synchronizing AD and the Exchange Server 5.5 Directory Store through the Active Directory Connector (ADC) in mixed-mode environments and synchronizing AD with other directory services as necessary.
- Network management—This task involves IP design and deployment, which includes DNS and DHCP operation as well as WINS operation for backward compatibility.
- Services management—This task entails verifying that Exchange Server and other dependent services, such as Microsoft IIS, are operating correctly.
- Server management—This task includes process monitoring (e.g., reviewing event logs and IIS logs) and performance monitoring.
- User account management—This task comprises creating user accounts, contacts, and groups; enabling Exchange Server services such as Instant Messaging (IM); creating and allocating email addresses; and generating address lists.
- Application management—This task entails managing Exchange Server components, including storage groups (SGs) and databases, public folders, connectors, and administrative and routing groups.
- Storage management—This task involves creating and implementing the appropriate storage architecture (e.g., placement of important files for maximum performance) for Exchange Server and other applications, protecting the Exchange Server and AD databases and transaction logs, and creating, implementing, and verifying backup policies and disaster-recovery plans.
Figure 1 shows the Exchange 2000 management architecture. (Client interfaces are at the top of the diagram.) In an Exchange 2000 environment, you must integrate this messaging management model with the following Win2K components:
Creating one monolithic system-management application to handle all these tasks and accomplish all Exchange Server's goals would be difficult and entirely inappropriate. Not only would the utility be huge but it probably wouldn't do a good job at any particular task. You'd also have exactly the same problem you have in NT: a lack of cohesive management utilities. (For a description of this problem, see the sidebar "The Need for a Management Framework.") And in NT, a systems administrator to whom you grant permissions to perform a specific job inherits access to many other objects. For example, someone who needs administrative permissions to set up a new printer often ends up with the ability to change passwords.
The MMC Solution
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is Microsoft's solution to the systems management problem. MMC manages Exchange 2000—and all the new Microsoft BackOffice applications—as well as basic Win2K management tasks such as starting and stopping services. Microsoft first introduced MMC as an option in NT and now uses it as the basic framework for Win2K management tasks, including application management. MMC sets a standard for application-specific tasks so that you can manage all tasks in the same way through the same interface. In one respect, you can compare this approach to the way Microsoft delivers the same multiple-document interface (MDI) and common menu bar to Microsoft Office applications such as Word and Excel. The idea is that once you can work with one Office application, you can work with all the others. MMC also uses an MDI but manages applications rather than documents or worksheets.
Applications in the MMC framework take the form of snap-ins that use a COM-based interface to hook into an MMC console. (Microsoft development groups, such as the Windows team and the Exchange Server team, or independent software vendors—ISVs—write these snap-ins. A console comprises one or more snap-ins. For more information about snap-ins, see the sidebar "Win2K MMC Consoles," page 46.) Before you can use MMC snap-ins, you must load them into the MMC executable (i.e., mmc.exe). Mmc.exe provides a basic Windows Explorer-style interface, as Figure 2 shows. A tree control in the window's left pane (aka the scope pane) reveals the depth you have drilled down to; a view in the right pane (aka the results pane) displays detailed information about the current scope. The application-specific snap-ins determine the content of the results pane. MMC can also display HTML content (although you won't typically see this feature in a console). For example, you can write a script to extract data about message queues from the new Exchange Server Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) interface. You can present that data in an HTML page and add that page to a console.
The standardization of MMC snap-ins means that application writers don't need to design and provide a lot of UI code. For example, each snap-in implements an interface method that tells the MMC how to add items to the scope pane's tree when a user double-clicks to expand a view and which text and icons to use for each type of item. Mmc.exe includes Node Manager, an in-process COM server that takes responsibility for communicating with each of the snap-ins that you load into a console.
Exchange Server systems administrators who are familiar with Exchange Server 5.5 expect to perform management tasks through the Exchange Server administration program working in tandem with several other NT management utilities, such as User Manager for Domains. These programs achieve some synergy—for example, you can create a new Exchange Server mailbox when you create a new NT user account through User Manager for Domains, and you can look for and delete a corresponding mailbox when you remove a user account—but not to the degree that Win2K accomplishes through MMC.
Splitting Management
You use the Exchange Server 5.5 administration program to manage user information (e.g., mailboxes, email addresses) and server details (e.g., connectors). However, Exchange 2000 replaces the Directory Store with AD, which results in a division of management tasks. Win2K now performs user management through the MMC Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, whereas Exchange 2000 accomplishes server management through the MMC Exchange System Manager snap-in. (The Exchange System Manager—ESM—console is the closest thing you'll find to the Exchange Server 5.5 administration program, but the ESM doesn't perform user management and includes new facilities, such as IM.) Note too that the Exchange Server 5.5 administration program's directory import and export facilities don't exist in the ESM because Exchange 2000 uses AD instead of the Directory Store. Many administrators commonly use these import and export functions to make mass changes, such as adding a secondary SMTP address. (For information about this process, see Paul Robichaux, "Super Export and Import Tools," August 2000, and "Export and Import Mission: Possible," September 2000.) You can make mass changes to AD information, but the tools and data format that you use have changed—Exchange 2000 uses the Ldifde utility to import and export data in Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Data Interchange Format (LDIF).
After you install Exchange 2000, the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in automatically loads code in maildsmx.dll to display additional tabs when you view a user account's properties. Three Properties tabs—Exchange General, Exchange Features, and Exchange Advanced—let administrators control settings for Exchange 2000 mailboxes. (The E-mail Addresses tab might appear to belong to Exchange 2000 but is part of the basic Win2K setup.)
The Exchange General tab defines details of the store on which the user's mailbox resides, as well as any restrictions you apply. The Exchange Features tab gives you access to an IM home server (which isn't necessarily the same server that holds the user's mailbox). Access to any additional features that you install for use with Exchange Server will also be available on this tab. (By default, IM is the only additional feature packaged with Exchange 2000. For more information about IM, see "Exchange 2000 Server's Instant Messaging," November 2000.) The Exchange Advanced tab contains settings that control the user's appearance in the address book, the user's access rights on a mailbox, and the Internet protocols the user can use to get to his or her mailbox. (Users can always use MAPI to access a mailbox.)
When you select and right-click a user, contact, or distribution group in the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, a context-sensitive menu appears. After you install Exchange 2000, this menu includes an Exchange Tasks option. This option launches the Exchange Task Wizard, which guides you through tasks such as moving a mailbox from one server to another, disabling access to email, and enabling a feature (e.g., IM). The wizard bases these tasks on the type of object you select. For example, Figure 3 shows the options that appear when I select my user account: I can move my mailbox, delete it completely, or enable my account for IM. (By the way, if you accidentally delete a mailbox, you can now easily recover it with a new ESM option that lets you reconnect a deleted mailbox to an AD account. For information about this useful new feature, see "Mailbox Management," October 2000.)
The Exchange 2000 installation program automatically installs the ESM console, which Figure 4 shows, on every Exchange 2000 server. From the perspective of an Exchange Server 5.5 administrator, the move to use MMC as the Exchange 2000 management framework is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you might decry the loss of the simplicity and straightforward nature of the older administration program, especially on smaller systems. On the other hand, the new administration console benefits from MMC's consistency and offers additional functionality, such as context-sensitive menus that you can access by right-clicking a node. For example, the right pane in Figure 4 shows the databases in an SG, as well as the option menu that appears when you right-click one of those databases.
Operation Modes
Exchange 2000 organizations can function in one of two modes: native or mixed. A native-mode organization contains only Exchange 2000 servers, so it can take full advantage of newer concepts such as administrative groups and routing groups. (For an explanation of the relationships among sites and groups, see the sidebar "Sites and Groups.")
Mixed mode, which implies that some downlevel (i.e., Exchange Server 5.5, Exchange Server 5.0, or Exchange Server 4.0) Exchange Server machines exist in the organization, restricts Exchange 2000 by requiring it to comply with the older site model's constraints. (You'll need to use the ADC in a mixed-mode Exchange Server organization.)
Figure 5, page 50, shows Exchange Server 5.5's Microsoft Exchange Administrator view of a mixed-mode site. Two of the servers in the site—COMET and DBOIST-MSXL—are running Exchange Server 5.5; the other servers are running Exchange 2000. Site Replication Services (SRS) and a connection agreement (CA) that the ADC manages ensure that the Exchange Server 5.5 machines recognize the Exchange 2000 servers as peers, even though both sets of servers are running different architectures. If you look at the same site through the ESM, which Figure 6, page 50, shows, you can also see all the servers. However, the ESM offers some graphical assistance to specify the Exchange 2000 servers: The Exchange 2000 server icons are bolder than their Exchange Server 5.5 counterparts. Figure 6 also shows that the ESM uses white folder icons for Exchange Server 5.5 sites that haven't yet migrated a server to Exchange 2000 and tan folder icons for sites that contain at least one Exchange 2000 server.
You should always carry out management operations through a server's native management tool. In other words, manage Exchange Server 5.5 machines through the Exchange Server 5.5 administration program and manage Exchange 2000 servers through the ESM. You can run the Exchange Server 5.5 administration program on a Win2K workstation or server, so both administration programs can run quite happily on the same system.
Any existing Exchange Server organization will operate in mixed mode until you upgrade all the downlevel Exchange Server systems to Exchange 2000. (The switch is desirable because native mode enables more organizational flexibility, such as the ability to combine multiple routing groups into one administrative group. For information about planning a migration, see "Planning an Exchange 2000 Migration Strategy," http://www.win2000mag.com, InstantDoc ID 88630) Any medium to large organization (i.e., 20 to 200 or more servers) might run in mixed mode for a considerable length of time because of the effort required to migrate servers. Indeed, you can argue a fair case not to migrate downlevel servers at all but instead to install Exchange 2000 servers on new hardware and transfer mailboxes to new servers. (You can easily move mailboxes to new servers because Exchange 2000 servers mimic the downlevel architecture, even going so far as to run a dummy Directory Store through SRS. This mimicry convinces downlevel Exchange Server machines that they're communicating with servers running the same architecture, and that they can therefore transfer mailboxes and perform other management operations as if all the servers were in the same site.)
Installing new servers instead of migrating existing systems requires additional investment in hardware. However, this method lets your migration progress more quickly because you don't need to upgrade servers from NT to Win2K and then from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange 2000—a process that you can't complete in one step and that won't happen overnight. After you transfer all the mailboxes, you can decommission the older servers and use the hardware to build brand-new servers that are ready for Win2K and Exchange 2000.
A New Approach to Management
Win2K depends on an IP network and DNS; if you don't correctly configure these components, AD replication won't work. Exchange 2000 depends on AD to store and replicate all Exchange Server configuration data, including the location of every Exchange Server machine in the organization; if AD replication fails, the Exchange 2000 configuration data replication will also fail. The close dependencies between Win2K, the underlying IP network, and Exchange 2000 mean that the teams who take care of the design and deployment of these components must work together to successfully deploy Exchange 2000. This requirement makes Exchange 2000 different from Exchange Server 5.5, which you can successfully deploy over a fragmented NT infrastructure because of the relatively loose connection between the application and the OS.
The old days of installing Exchange Server on a whim and a prayer are gone; you simply must establish a solid Win2K deployment before you proceed to deploy Exchange 2000. (For more information about this necessity, see "Exchange 2000 Server over Active Directory," September 2000.) Given this requirement, good design and proper management are more important than ever. In the next two articles in this series, I'll explain how you can monitor Exchange 2000 servers, and I'll review the programming interfaces that you can use to perform management tasks.

MIAMI (Reuters) - After a year's absence, fifth seeded Roger Federer celebrated his return to the Miami hardcourts with a clinical 6-4 7-6(4) second round win over towering Ivo Karlovic on Friday.
A two-time winner at Crandon Park, Federer did not visit Miami last year, taking an extended layoff before starting his season. But he looked quite at home, needing just 74 minutes to slay the 6-foot, 11-inch (2.11m) Croatian in a slugfest that featured just one break of serve.
"I was able to play a very clean match on my service games throughout, make sure I had a lot of first serves in, make sure I stayed aggressive from the baseline," said Federer. "I think it worked really well, hardly any unforced errors.
"There are no long rallies. It's just like more penalty shootout like in soccer.
"It's about quick reaction, not getting frustrated and feeling that the returner is the one who has got less pressure."
Federer, who had been dismissed as a fading force following last year's disappointing campaign, has hit back at his critics on the court, clinching the 78th title of his career in Dubai while reaching the finals in Brisbane and last week in Indian Wells, where he lost to Novak Djokovic.
It was another dominating performance by the re-energized Swiss maestro, particularly in the opening set where he committed a single unforced error.
Federer broke to open the match on a Karlovic double fault and did not surrendered a point on his serve until serving out the set at 40-0.
The 32-year-old Swiss continued his near perfect play in the second set finishing with a total of three unforced errors but could not break the big-serving Croatian, who blasted 14 aces past the 17-time grand slam winner.
But Karlovic's big serve was not able to save him in the tie-break as Federer coolly clinch the match 7-4.
Fourth seeded Spaniard David Ferrer and ninth seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet both had easy passage to the next round.
Ferrer, who lost last year's final to Andy Murray, returned to action after sitting out the Masters series event in Indian Wells with a left abductor strain and showed no hint of rust as he cruised past Russian Teymuraz Gabashvili 6-4 6-0.
Gasquet made equally quick work of Alejandro Gonzalez dispatching the 83rd ranked Colombian 7-6 (7) 6-4.

Rated 1 out of 5 by BurnedoutMotorBearings from Fan stopped spinning after three months Bought in mid Novemeber. At first it worked fine, ket humidity up most of the times outside of the reallly cold dry days. About two weeks ago I noticed the fan was getting ver loud, had to move it out of the bedroom so I could sllep. This morning, I noticed it just died. The fan stopped working. Probably not worth dealing with the warranty where I will have to mail the pice of junk back and spend twenty bucks on shipping to do so. Will probably be throwing out and finding an alternative product. I can't even take the thing apart to get to the fan. I'll have with leftover filters if anyone needs them...

Rated 2 out of 5 by LibbyT from Way too loud, sounds broken We have been using this humidifier in our bedroom for about a month and its so loud and sounds broken. The highest level (level 3) sounds like a transmission is about to fall out of a car. Level 2 isn't bad. I don't know if the air in middle Tenneessee is super dry but we can run it on high all day the humidity in our room never gets above 28 or 30. I would not recommend this humidifier to a friend. We bought a cheap $25 one 7 years ago and it lasted 7 years just fine until it broke. We are thinking of trying to return this one.

Rated 1 out of 5 by angry woman from terrible! do not buy! Bought this less than a week ago, we read and followed the instructions as instructed. First.... It seemed loud for a humidifier. Now after only having this a few days, I noticed my carpet was SOAKED!!! It leaks horribly!! Spent over an hour trying to soak up all the water out of my carpet and padding! It ruined our floor. Thank god I didn't throw the box out! It's going BACK to the store!! Not happy at all with this product!

Rated 1 out of 5 by UpsetOwnerOfJunk from Fan Stopped Working My husband and I purchased this humidifier from Target about 3 months ago. Some days it ran quiet, and other days it ran a little loud - like something was stuck in the fan. I turned it on today and it was extremely loud and sounded like a stick was jammed in the fan blades, or something similar to that sound, then it stopped working all together. This humidifier is a waste of money as it seems that it doesn't last long! If you do purchase it, save the receipt and box so you can at least get your money back.

Rated 2 out of 5 by BD57 from Worked great....the first day I purchased this humidifier to use in my $60K RV while on vacation. Day one, the humidifier worked great! Quiet, kept a good amount of humidity in the RV, worked very well! When we re-filled the tank last night, no signs of a leak. When we woke up, there was over a gallon of water all over the floor! Not sure how much damage was done because it is an RV, and water damage can ruin the entire trailer. I am very unhappy right now, and without a working humidifier that I paid for!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Zenriffic from Leaks! Worked beautifully for about a day before all the water began leaking out after filling. I carefully followed the instructions to the letter but it overflows every time. Damaged wood floor, probably going to lose my security deposit. Can't return to store fast enough!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Rick from Fan started choking and dying within three days. It didn't seem to do much in terms of humidity changes. It also did not put out much air compared to our other wick humidifier. Within three days, the fan was making a TERRIBLE racket, buzzing and choking and shaking. Turned it down from level 3 to 2, still making lots of noise, and now barely blowing any air. This things seems like a very expensive lemon.

Sometimes what's done in the dark doesn't need to come to the light. It should stay shut away forever. The lifestyle of sisters Rhonnie and Ahli Drake is proof of that.
Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Ronnie and Ahli have been raised to do the unthinkable to survive. With their father setting up all of their dangerous hits, the two have easily stolen over two hundred thousand dollars over the years. Still, they feel a void. They want to live normal lives while they still can.
Before they can perform their last job, which their father has promised will get them out of the game for good, a prior hit comes back to haunt them. It leaves their father with his throat slit and the girls in fear for their lives. With no money and no safe place to go, the girls have no choice but to agree to do one last hit.
What is supposed to be just a job turns into what will be the most horrific experience of their lives. Just when you think you know what's going to happen next, this twisted tale takes a deep dive for the worse.

Japanese Toddlers Hate Tommy Girl
Those two little girls had to piss in a Playskool Go Girl, sleep on the sidewalk and try to freshen up their glorious Ann Jillian 'dos with a hand fan and their mom's folding brush. They did all of this just so they could meet their style icon SURI CRUISE at the Tokyo premiere of Knight & Gay, but look showed up instead? Some bitch who looks like he got lost while trying to find the Middle-earth glory hole. They want their money back!
Normally, I'm allergic to little kids kicking, screaming and crying, but I completely understand where these two are coming from. The kid on the right has every reason to throw a "LET ME AT THAT HO" tantrum, and her father should really let her go. The only thing better than watching a kid scream at Tommy Girl is watching two kids whoop his ass for not bringing Suri. I'll hold their pocketbooks while they do that.

In November, a discussion arose over tree planting as a viable method to offsets carbon emissions. A new study, which used computer modeling to calculate the impact of forests on climate change, concludes that yes, trees can help… if they're planted in the right places. According to a BBC article,
Dr [Govindasamy] Bala [of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory] and colleague Ken Caldeira, from the Carnegie Institution of Washington, used a computer model to determine the impact which forests in different parts of the planet would have on temperature.Their analysis indicates that three key factors are involved:

The coming age shall be one of good, and all the earths inhabitants whom are currently, the down trodden, the homeless, the poor, shall find themselves benefactors of the kingdom I have come to build.
I am not your messiah, never claimed to be, I'm just one who is paying attention to the right beings. It is written in every religious text... You are expecting a magical being maybe, when have you ever known magical beings to exist on earth? No, I am a fellow servant, reading all and analyzing the information. I am not to concerned if you believe me or not.
This is about to happen and by my calculations, it is about to happen fairly shortly. Why on earth do you believe that your leaders are acting so wiry. They know I'm here, and now you know I'm here, but don't worry go back "to being the best person you can be", see how far that has gotten you? Lets see how far it will get you?
All you need to do is thank Jesus for his redemptive heart, it is the reason you may or may not be saved, but if you are still not convinced go outside look up, see those clouds that are not "supposed" to be there. I came with those, and the glory of "good" will be realized.
As far as what makes me different from everyone else as far as my predictions, well I am purposes to serve you but I can't because of the unknowingly foul beings you have become. So until you find Good again, you ought not worry about me. My words are that of the Father, which makes it Law.
We shall not, do things for there monetary incentives, but for the joy of bringing forth the gifts

'The average standard of mental power in man must be above that of women,' Charles Darwin asserted. The opinion was perhaps surprising given the number of talented and active women he knew personally, as well as the wide-ranging social disadvantages they faced as a sex. Women working in the fields of botany, entomology and education often corresponded with the great scientist.

The most common diagnostic tests are described below. When choosing a diagnostic test(s), your doctor will consider the person's age and medical condition, the type of cancer suspected, the severity of the symptoms, and previous test results. Learn more about diagnostic tests for a specific type of cancer. And, not everyone will need all available tests. Learn more about specific tests and procedures that are commonly used in cancer care but should be questioned in specific situations.
Barium Enema
Learn about this procedure that is used to find health conditions in the colon and rectum.
Learn about the different types of biopsies used to diagnose cancer.
Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy
A bone marrow biopsy and aspiration is a diagnostic examination of the bone marrow that can provide information about the development and function of blood cells.
Bone Scan
Read about why you may need a bone scan and what to expect before, during, and after the test. You will also find a list of questions to ask your health care team about having a bone scan.
Breast MRI
A breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) exam is a diagnostic examination that uses magnetic fields to capture multiple images of the breast tissue, which are combined to create detailed, computer-generated pictures of your breasts. A breast MRI sometimes is used to diagnose and evaluate breast tumors. Under some circumstances, this test may better identify a small mass within a woman's breast than a mammogram or ultrasound, particularly for women with very dense (non-fatty) breast tissue.
A colonoscopy is a diagnostic examination used to look inside the entire large intestine, which plays an important role in the body's ability to process waste. The colon makes up the first five to six feet of the large intestine, and the rectum makes up the last six inches, ending at the anus.
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
A computed tomography (CT) scan, also called a CAT scan, is a diagnostic exam used to detect tumors, determine the stage of the disease and whether cancerous cells have spread, and find out about the effectiveness of cancer treatment.
Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)
Read about what a digital rectal exam is and how it is used to check the lower rectum, pelvis, and lower belly for cancer and other health problems.
EKG and Echocardiogram
This article explains what an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) and echocardiogram (echo) are, how these tests are used to look for heart problems, and what to expect during these tests.
Types of Endoscopy
An endoscopy allows a doctor to view the inside of a person's body. Learn about the different types of endoscopy and how they are used.
Fecal Occult Blood Tests
Read about how this test is used to find blood in the stool.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
This article explains what an MRI is, why you may need one, and what to expect during the test. It also offers a list of questions to ask your health care team about having and MRI.
Learn about a type of x-ray used to check for breast cancer.
MUGA Scan
A multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan checks to see if your heart is pumping blood properly. Some people with cancer receiving chemotherapy may need to have this test during their cancer treatment.
Pap Test
A Pap test, also called a Pap smear, detects cervical cancer and can also find early changes in the cells of a woman's cervix that, if left untreated, could turn into cancer. If a doctor treats these irregular cells, the patient has an almost 100% chance of being cured.
Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET-CT) Scans
An integrated PET-CT scan combines images from a positron emission tomography (PET) scan and a computed tomography (CT) scan that have been performed at the same time using the same machine. Because a CT scan provides detailed pictures of tissues and organs inside the body, while a PET scan reveals any abnormal activity that might be going on there, combining these scans creates a more complete image than either test can offer alone.
A sigmoidoscopy is a screening or diagnostic test that allows a doctor to see inside the lower 20 inches of the sigmoid colon and rectum (also called the large intestine). It is frequently used as a screening test to find polyps, which are small growths that may become cancer. Usually polyps do not cause any symptoms and can only be detected by doing a screening test like a sigmoidoscopy. Removing these polyps may prevent colorectal cancer. It can also be used as a diagnostic test for patients having rectal bleeding, a change in bowel habits, or other symptoms.
Tumor Marker Tests
Learn what tumor markers are and how they are used to diagnose cancer and plan treatment.
Read about what an ultrasound is and what to expect if you need to have one. You will also find a list of questions to ask your health care team.
Upper Endoscopy
Find out what an upper endoscopy is and how to prepare for one.
