Hyderabad: A survey by National Family Health Survey-4 conducted during 2015-16 show that that Hyderabadi men tops the list of 'very high hypertension' (VHH) compared to men living in other metropolitan cities.
The data, collated from the ministry's National findings reveals 4.5 percent Hyderabadi men suffer from VHH, while 3 percent men in Chennai, 0.5 percent men in Kolkata and Patna, 0.1 percent in Goa, 0.7 percent in Bengaluru and 1.1 percent men in Dehradun suffer from VHH.
However, in the case of women, Hyderabad figured third in the all three categories of hypertension with 12.3% of women categorized as hypertensive, next to Kolkata's 12.5% and Mumbai's 12.5%.
The people surveyed in the Hypertension categorically record blood pressure more than 180/110. However, health experts say that people should have blood pressure less than 140/90 and people suffering from diabetes, heart and kidney problems should have less than 135/85.
Reacting to this, Dr C Venkata S Ram, Director at Apollo Institute for Blood Pressure Management says, "It is very difficult to decipher why men here have VHH. One needs to study the risk factors involved to figure out the exact cause. The causes need to be studied further."
Doctors say that different factors caused the tension and it varies from person to person. Genetic and environmental factors, high salt intake, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, family history of hypertension and excess alcohol intake are possible culprits.
According to Dr Venkata Ram, If BP is greater than 140/90, it can cause irreparable damage and leave a huge social and financial burden on the family.
"under-treated BP could not only lead to "chronic diseases" like stroke, brain hemorrhage, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure, but also it lead to financial crisis". adds Dr Ram.

Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-wilde-xml-patch-04.txt
Expand Messages
- hello.
this version is almost identical with the previous one, but instead of
linking to errata, the draft now is written as an update of RFC 5261.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilde-xml-patch-04#appendix-A lists all
the updates to the RFC, and the XML Patch draft then refers to these
updates where it needs to. this should make the draft more
self-contained, so that it can progress without any dependencies on
errata. it also makes it easier for implementers, all they need to do is
read the spec, and RFC 5261. as usual, feedback is very welcome.

Unkindest cuts of dogmeat
THEY say it's a dog's life, and for 1,500 Thai canines who have had a vital piece of their anatomy chopped off and posted to Hong Kong, it is certain they are now questioning their role as man's best friend.
In what must be the most bizarre seizure of illegal goods in recent years, Customs officers stationed at the General Post Office on Tuesday discovered a shipment of what the Government politely described as 'dried dog penis'.
The 1,500 penises, weighing a total of 170 kilograms, were packed in 10 cartons labelled as Chinese medicine.
They had been airmailed from Thailand.
The Government went on to explain that dried dog penis was used as a tonic food which was believed to enhance male sexual performance.
No one in authority was prepared to admit knowing how the product should be prepared for human consumption.
The case has been referred to the Agriculture and Fisheries Department for follow-up investigation since the seizures are controlled items under the Rabies Ordinance.
The unusual consignment arrived in an air consignment opened during a routine check.
A Customs spokesman said the 170 kg haul had a street value of $10,200, valuing each penis at $6.80.

No matter how good you think your security is, users will find a way through. The only time I user is intelligent is went they are trying to figure out how to bypass their internet security. All of a sudden they are an expert on browsers, firewalls, portals, et cetera when they usually can't even spell PC. Plus everyone in the world seems to have at least one device capable of getting the internet that fits in their pocket. And no matter how many times you tell people they will be firing for texting/playing Farmville while on the clock, they will do it regardless.

Fair Enough, personally i think Facebook is unneccesery in general and especially for a kid as young as 11.
Now i say that but i have iPhone constanly logged into it at all times and always open in the browser when at home :/ sadly it is my only contact with a few really good friends that are stuggling financially so cant afford to text so we use the FB message service to talk. They either have prepaid mobiles with free social networking access/ data or have free WiFi at their Uni.
We tried to block it at work but got hounded by staff and General amnagers that it should be accessible to staff in free time (Lunch and Tea Breaks) and since there is no set time for those breaks they wont let us time schedule it.
FB has its place in the current world and it just keeps obtaining a stronger foothold so i cant see it going anywere anytime soon.

Very good comic. I'm also leery to blame Facebook for increased lack of productivity.
Office work, depending on the office and the managerial staff, is very much an ebb-and-flow of busy and dry seasons. I really appreciate managerial staff that understands this and is honest about it. In all honesty, if you've got a smartphone off-the-network and some downtime between jobs, I say go for it. I just can't have you doing it on my network because it makes wider potential for security risks to our customer's personal data.
I leave it to the managers to decide the expectation of productivity. If you get your work done, awesome. If you take some time to Facebook between that good, on-time work, awesome. If your work is late and your facebooking is an obvious hindrance to that, we're going to talk.
In my experience, Facebook is too easy of a scapegoat for a much deeper problem. The real managers understand a healthy balance between the sitting at the grindstone wheel and then breaking at the watering hole and encourage their employees who have unhealthy habits on either side of that dichotomy to grow stronger out of those problems. When I'm interviewed, and I have the choice, I look for a manager staff who understand this well. It can make or break the job.

Hello, anyone knows any
interesting - "must see"
type locations in singapore?
to suggest.
Thx in advance :)
any good suggestion*
Primary tabs
Hello, anyone knows any
I'll bring this thread to the attention of Karen Huang and Jimmy Tan.
The first site that comes to mind is Ban Guan Park at Greenleaf Road, which I blogged about here and here:
http://www.manic.com.sg/blog/archives/000549.php Hopefully someone can identify this font (again). I thought it was Caslon 224, but no.
While you're there, you might wanna grab a bite at Cantina, just because it's quite out of the way. And you might feel silly trekking all the way there just to see some type!
Greenleaf is also near Holland Village, which is fairly interesting typographically. Sneak peek here: http://www.manic.com.sg/blog/archives/cat_neighbours.php
If you want to see older types, you'll wanna go round to the Arab Street area. It'll be an interesting area to visit, and I think there are a bunch of old sign boards there.
While you're in Singapore, no doubt, you'd want to check out the Esplanade, also known as the "durian".
And while you're in the area, you should check this out http://keropokman.blogspot.com/2008/01/our-glorious-dead-cenotaph.html
No need to make any special effort to see these, you can't miss them.
Our Rotis road signs: http://www.manic.com.sg/blog/archives/000194.php
Well, if you have more non-type related questions on where to go, just ask. I'd be happy to answer them.
Especially if they have anything to do with food. :)
Hope you enjoy your stay here. When's your trip?

Kiss from a Stranger(1990)
(Book 79 in the Camfield series)
A novel by Barbara Cartland
Horrified when her beloved dog, Rufus, is caught in a cruel snare while out walking in the estate of Arrow Castle, local Parson's daughter Shenda is at first relieved when a handsome stranger comes to poor Rufus's rescue and then at once she is abashed and confused when he claims a kiss - Shenda's very first - as his reward. But then she is told that her father has been killed by a savage bull and that she must leave the family's Vicarage forthwith. Penniless Shenda is obliged to take a job at Arrow Castle as a seamstress, where she stumbles across a letter from one of Napoleon Bonaparte's spies to Society beauty Lucille Gratton, 'the most beautiful Lady in England', who is staying at The Castle. Reporting the discovery to the Earl, she finds that he is no other than her 'gentleman stranger' and just as she realises that she is falling in love with the heroic Earl of Arrow, she is embroiled in a counter-espionage plot that puts her young life - and her love for the Earl - in deadly peril.

Blvd 16 a hidden gem in plain sight
Wilshire Boulevard. If I went back and checked all the joints I've ever reviewed, I wouldn't be surprised if a quarter of them were on Wilshire. The 16-mile stretch of road that connects Santa Monica and Downtown is one of the most vital and vibrant roads in any city anywhere.
Today, I'm going to share with you a restaurant/lounge that I didn't know existed. It's located inside a hotel, which, again, I didn't know existed. And that hotel is a mere 1.7 miles from my front door. The Hotel Palomar is a hidden gem in plain sight, amid the high-rise condos and office buildings along Wilshire. Within its stylish walls, you'll find the restaurant and lounge of Blvd 16.
Following renovations, Blvd opened in March 2012 under helmsman Richard Hodge. The executive chef with Bay Area roots subscribes to the noblest principles of the farm-to-table movement, committing to sustainable practices (for instance, the policies of the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch).
Why you should go:
Centrally located in a high-rent district, this lounge is haunted daily with a blend of interesting professionals. The space is great for large mixer events or private gatherings, add to that the hotel's meeting rooms, and large-scale presentations are possible.
What to order:
Let me begin with describing an amuse bouche made with buzz flowers. What's a buzz flower? I, too, was curious. Here's what Wikipedia has to say on the species:
"Acmella oleracea … is a species of flowering herb … In Brazil, it is called jambú. Its native distribution is unclear … It is grown as an ornamental and it is used as a medicinal remedy in various parts of the world. A small, erect plant, it grows quickly and bears gold and red inflorescences [which the site describes as a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches].
The site goes on to say "The flower bud has a grassy taste followed by a strong tingling or numbing sensation and often excessive salivation, with a cooling sensation in the throat." This strange flower is used as a "traditional remedy for stammering, toothache and stomatitis."
Hodge's dish, a shot-size Slurpee-like beverage, which, like any good amuse, woke up my senses, zapping my taste buds like something akin to an electric shock.
Buzz flowers are not a meal, however, and for those who prefer meat-and-potatoes, the chef does that, too. Of course, his take on meat and potatoes will do to your expectations the same thing the buzz flower does to your palate. Hodge's red-wine braised short rib with citrus gremolata-topped olive oil-crushed potatoes shows what culinary imagination is possible with the simplest of dishes.
The menu is replete with proteins and produce of local farmers, ranchers and sustainable fisheries, and is not afraid to announce that market availability might require substitutions in terms of ingredients and items.
For drinkers:
I love a classy hotel lounge in the middle of a bustling city, and Hotel Palomar provides it in spades. Blvd 16 is much more than just a swanky hangout though, it is a legitimate bar, featuring top-notch mixology with seasonal, as well as organic ingredients, like honey and agave syrup rather than sugar-based syrup, and herbs from the rooftop garden.
Another aspect of bar life I enjoy is a good happy hour. This joint has two daily. Known as "Rush Hour," the deals take place from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and again from 10 p.m. to midnight.
What people are saying:
A review from Zagat states that it "tries hard not to be the typical hotel dining room, with high-quality farm-to-table fare and a lovely futuristic space full of pizzazz," and that even if tabs are "pricey and service can be hit-or-miss, it works because it's not too noisy and good for a change of scenery."
And returning to my initial take on the joint, there's this from great blog called One More Bite:
"Raise your hand if you knew of the existence of a hotel on that stretch of Wilshire between Westwood and Beverly Glen? Yeah, me neither. Even after over a decade and a half of living in LA. … Hidden in plain sight on busy Wilshire Boulevard, the hotel sort of gets lost among the towering glossy condos on the row. … With its modern, chic yet relaxed interiors, it's kind of a perfect pit stop for those with long commutes, like me, looking for refuge from L.A.'s notorious road congestion during rush hour."
Another blog, this called, OC Food Diva, says, "The lounge and bar area is quite inviting, yet chic, featuring contemporary décor with large, comfy sofas."
The Food Diva adds that if you're looking to "relax while traffic dies down" or for a "quick getaway with friends," look no further, Blvd 16 "is the place to be."
She rates the restaurant in the categories of atmosphere, service, décor and food, and gives each category a perfect five stars, with the exception of the last, which she offers four.
What I think:
I'm excited to have discovered this lounge, and this chef (in the same way Columbus was excited to have "discovered" America, I suppose). Anyway, now that I'm aware of it, I'll be making the 1.7-mile trek again soon.

The trombone is a cylindrical brass instrument, with a fairly low range and a distinctive slide that can be used to change the pitch. Trombones sound clear and direct, and can be used to play jazz, big band or classical music. Several different sizes of trombone exist, but the size that is most commonly called "the trombone" is the tenor trombone. Most bands and orchestras have both a tenor trombone and a bass trombone. Each of these instruments has a different repertoire, and different famous pieces that are used to showcase the instrument and player.
"Getting Sentimental Over You," by George Bassman & Ned Washington
"Getting Sentimental Over You" is a classic big band trombone piece, made famous by a recording by Tommy Dorsey. Dorsey exhibits an extraordinary range and tone in his performance of this piece, making it a piece that all trombone players and enthusiasts should know.
"Just a Closer Walk," by Don Gillis
"Just a Closer Walk" is a classic New Orleans funeral-style brass quintet that features a fun trombone solo. It starts slowly, like a dirge, but then the tempo increases as the song progresses. This piece is so famous among trombone players that many players memorize it and play it regularly.
"Sonata for Trombone," by Paul Hindemith
Hindemith composed sonatas for almost every instrument and his Sonata for Trombone is so famous that a study by the International Trombone Association suggests that it is the most commonly performed piece by trombonists at university recitals. The piece is challenging and modern, and has an especially difficult and interesting part for the piano accompanist. Hindemith didn't write a sonata for the bass trombone, but many bass trombonists will play either his Tuba Sonata or his Sonata for Alto Horn. Hindemith's "Drei Leichte Stuecke" and "Three Easy Pieces for Cello" can also be performed on bass trombone.
"Requiem," by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
In "Tuba Mirum" from Mozart's "Requiem," there is a beautiful trombone melody in the second part. It is among the most frequently used audition pieces because it challenges the trombone player's ability to play in a controlled legato style. In Mozart's compositions, trombones are often used for dramatic evocations of divine or supernatural forces, such as in "Don Giovanni," when the trombone marks the appearance of the ghost.
"Blue Bells of Scotland," by Arthur Pryor
"Blue Bells of Scotland" is a famous trombone solo with variations. It was composed by Arthur Pryor, who played with the J.P. Sousa band from 1893-1903. Even trombonists without the skills to play all the variations are still familiar with the lovely basic tune. Pryor has other great and well-known themes and variations for the trombone as well.

Cyber Secure Institute calls America to arms in fight against cyber crime
Cyber Secure Institute
: 09 March, 2009
(Company News)
Director of Cyber Secure Institute issues statement detailing the way in which poor IT security is hampering innovation and the future development of the US economy
Rob Housman, the Executive Director of the Cyber Secure Institute has released this statement:
America's competitive advantage has always been, and needs to remain, our ability to innovate. American innovation has given rise to everything from mass production to skyscrapers to airplanes. America has brought the world four successive generations of the information age, first with the telephone, then the television, then the computer, and then the Internet.
To be successful America needs to constantly push the limits of innovation and efficiencies. We need to be out in front of the learning curve. We need to be highly entrepreneurial and technologically driven.
But American innovation can't take consumers and companies to the next level if they don't want to go there because they fear the security of their data, money, and personal privacy.
People and companies are already beginning to hold back on adopting new advances because of IT security fears. For example, a recent study by a major market research firm determined that, "Security concerns are the single biggest factor inhibiting consumer acceptance of mobile banking."
Given the inherent insecurity of digital infrastructure people have good reason to be concerned. Consider the recent track record:
* Heartland Payment Systems recently announced what may be the single largest data breach ever—implicating tens of millions of credit card transactions. The breach was caused by malicious software. The company reports it has no idea who inserted the software or how it got there. Nor does it know exactly whose data was compromised.
* A November 2008 study of mobile device used by of over 1,000 healthcare professionals found that 93% of the devices were at risk. The study found that 49% of the healthcare professionals downloaded sensitive patient data on their devices. Over 71 percent protected their devices and sensitive data with just a single password. At least 13% had lost one or more devices containing sensitive information. No wonder that numerous studies find upwards of 70-80% of Americans are concerned about the security of their electronic medical records.
If people don't trust the security of IT systems we will never be able to fully capitalize on their promise. Smart devices have little value if smart people won't use them. Markets won't move beyond online videos and books if ecommerce increasingly becomes "e-swindled."
The American private sector has been slow to realize that insecurity is compromising its ability to compete and even slower to take the steps needed to address the problem. This needs to change.
There are a variety of tools the new Administration should consider to drive this change.
The Obama Administration plans digital infrastructure funding as part of the stimulus package. These monies should be used to make the digital superhighway safer and more secure, not just extend its reach. For example, we welcome funding to deploy new technologies to improve healthcare, but if these technologies are inherently insecure we can do as much harm as good.
At the same time the new Administration should also consider a variety of other mechanisms to cajole if not compel companies to deploy inherently secure digital infrastructure. Such mechanisms could range from cyber security disclosure requirements under the Securities and Exchange Commission to actual baseline standards for critical systems.

On the use of DXMS to produce more crystallizable proteins: structures of the T. maritima proteins TM0160 and TM1171.
|Protein Science (2004) 13(12):3187-99
|Joint Center for Structural Genomics
(click to unfold)
The structure of two Thermotoga maritima proteins, a conserved hypothetical protein (TM0160) and a transcriptional regulator (TM1171), have now been determined at 1.9 A and 2.3 A resolution, respectively, as part of a large-scale structural genomics project. ...
Our first efforts to crystallize full-length versions of these targets were unsuccessful. However, analysis of the recombinant purified proteins using the technique of enhanced amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectroscopy (DXMS) revealed substantial regions of rapid amide deuterium hydrogen exchange, consistent with flexible regions of the structures. Based on these exchange data, truncations were designed to selectively remove the disordered C-terminal regions, and the resulting daughter proteins showed greatly enhanced crystallizability. Comparative DXMS analysis of full-length protein versus truncated forms demonstrated complete and exact preservation of the exchange rate profiles in the retained sequence, indicative of conservation of the native folded structure. This study presents the first structures produced with the aid of the DXMS method for salvaging intractable crystallization targets. The structure of TM0160 represents a new fold and highlights the use of this approach where any prior structural knowledge is absent. The structure of TM1171 represents an example where the lack of a substrate/cofactor may impair crystallization. The details of both structures are presented and discussed.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
And the LORD said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined to thee, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.
And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
And they shall be joined to thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh to you.
And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.
And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office to you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
And the LORD spoke to Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of my heave-offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; to thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.
This shall be thine of the most holy things reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every trespass-offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy to thee.
And this is thine; the heave-offering of their gift, with all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them to thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the first-fruits of them which they shall offer to the LORD, them have I given to thee.
And whatever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring to the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring to the LORD, whether of men or beast, shall be thine: nevertheless, the first born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thy estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to the LORD.
And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave-breast and as the right shoulder are thine
All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the LORD, have I given to thee, and to thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD to thee and to thy seed with thee.
And the LORD spoke to Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thy inheritance among the children of Israel.
And behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: It shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Thus speak to the Levites, and say to them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave-offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
And this your heave-offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the corn of the threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the wine-press.
Thus ye also shall offer a heave-offering to the LORD of all your tithes which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give of them the LORD'S heave-offering to Aaron the priest.
Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave-offering of the LORD, of all the best of it, even its hallowed part out of it.
Therefore thou shalt say to them, When ye have heaved from it the best of it, then it shall be counted to the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press.
And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.

Tokyo to Osaka with JR Pass?
i'm going to Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo and return back to Osaka.
whether i need to buy JR pass??
how is the cost of JR pass??
danny tan
Hi Danny!
As 7 day JR Pass costs ¥28,300, and the ticket cost of a return trip Tokyo-Osaka comes in at ¥27,500, it very much depends on the amount of further JR travel you intend to do.
If you think you'll do any more JR travel at all (for example, a day trip to Nikko, Hiroshima, or further JR travel around Tokyo (map of JR lines in Tokyo), then all further JR travel will effectively be only an additional ¥800 if you went with the 7 day pass.
Hope this helps!

Ideas galore for memorializing Urbana tree
URBANA — After news hit that the city of Urbana would remove one of its oldest and biggest trees, artists came out of the woodwork with ways to memorialize it.
One suggested making a bench from the giant hackberry, with a slice of the trunk for the back. The rings on it would mark historical events.
Another offered the idea of a botanical drawing of the tree, which is native to the prairie.
A mural painter, aka Walldog from Danville, wants to paint a portrait of the tree — either on a wall or canvas.
Inevitably, someone mentioned a chain-saw carving from the trunk. City Arborist Mike Brunk admits that's not his preference.
And a wood turner said he could make Christmas ornaments, pens, wands and other small items from the tree. They could be sold to raise money for the city's new Tree Legacy Program, which will honor living trees as well as the hackberry — posthumously.
"I've worked with artists before on projects but this is the first time artists have been pursuing me to get involved," Brunk said. "It's really been quite fun to listen to the ideas and see what people are coming up with."
Due to the interest, Brunk has set a Feb. 21 deadline for artists to submit proposals. The city's Tree Commission will evaluate them at its March 5 meeting.
While the artistic possibilities are limitless, the money for paying for a memorial is not, Brunk said.
"There are presently no dollars for the hackberry tree project so we will be soliciting donations to complete any chosen artwork ideas," he said.
And he wouldn't mind if the artists selected by the Tree Commission decide not to charge for their work.
Whatever art is selected, Brunk hopes it will be tied to the city's documentation of the hackberry, described as majestic by neighbors. It stands more than 110 feet tall, boasts a 5-foot trunk diameter and at 200 years of age, is the oldest tree in the city's residential areas.
Brunk also hopes the art could be displayed at a number of locations, among them the Anita Purves Nature Center in Urbana.
And, he expects to discover through the memorial project an artistic perspective that could be used to document the living trees that will become part of the Tree Legacy Program.
That program will honor old, rare, large and well-known trees in the city, one of 13 charter Tree City U.S.A. designees.
Brunk said it's important for interested artists to act now: Later this month the city will remove the hackberry at the northeast corner of Coler and High. The city plans to leave standing as much of the trunk as possible.
The health of the hackberry has declined since it was damaged in the 1990 ice storm. The city then used cables to preserve some of the upper branches.
Since then the hackberry has developed decay and rot; Brunk determined it was no longer safe to let it stand.
After the city marked the tree for removal, a neighbor noticed and told the city the public should be able to comment. More than 50 people showed up at the Tree Commission meeting last month to do that.
After Brunk showed aerial photos of the rot and decay, the Tree Commission voted to have the hackberry chopped down.
Ideas for the hackberry:
The Urbana Tree Commission received all sorts of suggestions for how to memorialize the area's most famous hackberry tree. Among them:
— Leave a memorial plaque near a nicely finished, sloped stump so people can count the rings, thereby determining its age.
— Cast in Plexiglass (or another substance) the trunk and use it as a play log.
— Create a historical picture of the tree and couple it with prose or poetry written by a local writer or artist.
— Leave a tall trunk to allow people to interact with it.
— Create a history of the tree and tie it to local historical events.
— Do a 3-D scan of the hackberry. That was to have been done on Jan. 31, at no cost to the city, but has been tentatively rescheduled for Feb. 12.

Despite the inherent differences in each arena, industrial relations experts can learn from some of the best practices in the human resources field to keep the relationship between union labor and management friendly and professional.
Collective Bargaining
The core mission of human resource managers is to maintain the relationships between employees and management. In an environment with a unionized workforce, the role of industrial relations managers becomes more complicated with the insertion of union representatives and government labor relations agencies. However, industrial relations managers can learn from their HR counterparts about dealing with labor collective bargaining sessions by preparing their negotiation strategies four to six months in advance of the labor contract's expiration date.
Career Training
Another best practice found in HR departments is that they enable employees to improve their career prospects within the organization. HR managers bring in job training programs and continuing education opportunities that improve an employee's skills and increase his value to the company. IR managers can work with union members and representatives to present similar opportunities to unionized workers. These programs help workers develop into better employees and contribute more to the company while also allowing them to become better resources for fellow union members.
Workplace Regulations
Both HR and IR managers must deal with governmental regulations on work weeks, minimum wage and worker safety issues. Many companies employ compliance supervisors in their HR departments to develop practices to comply with these regulations. Industrial relations managers also must work with governmental labor practice agencies, which ensure that workers are not exploited and that both sides exercise good faith in collective bargaining negotiations. IR managers can employ compliance officers to study the regulations and keep the company in line.
Open Communication
HR managers always seek to keep open the lines of communication between employees and management. When these lines are disrupted, miscommunication or lack of a clear message can lead to distrust, resentment and poor performance on both sides. IR managers also must keep open clear lines of communication between management, employees and union representatives. When each group understands the goals of the others and the methods each group uses to achieve those goals, the collective bargaining process becomes much easier.
