Boat Ramp $ Plea Goes Nowhere
Lake Access Advisory Committee Chairman David Hupp's request for additional money to plan and develop additional boat ramps around Polk County didn't get very far during last week's County Commission retreat. County Manager Jim Freeman said nothing has been discussed beyond the continued use of the $135,000 a year the county can tap from boat registration fees. The only other source of money would be the parks capital fund, but it was clear earlier in the discussion that the park… Read More »

Colliding balls approximate pi
Found via G+, a new physical experiment that approximates , like Buffon's needle problem: The Pi Machine.
Roughly, the amazing discovery of Gregory Galperin is this: When a ball of mass collides with one of ball , propelling it towards a wall, the number of collisions (assuming standard physics idealisms) is , so by taking , we can get the first digits of . Note that this number of collisions is an entirely determinstic quantity; there's no probability is involved!
Here's a video demonstrating the fact for (the blue ball is the heavier one):
The NYT post says how this discovery came about:
Dr. Galperin's approach was also geometric but very different (using an unfolding geodesic), building on prior related insights. Dr. Galperin, who studied under well-known Russian mathematician Andrei Kolmogorov, had recently written (with Yakov Sinai) extensively on ball collisions, realized just before a talk in 1995 that a plot of the ball positions of a pair of colliding balls could be used to determine pi. (When he mentioned this insight in the talk, no one in the audience believed him.) This finding was ultimately published as "Playing Pool With Pi" in a 2003 issue of Regular and Chaotic Dynamics.
The paper, Playing Pool With π (The number π from a billiard point of view) is very readable. The post has, despite a "solution" section, essentially no explanation, but the two comments by Dave in the comments section explain it clearly. And a reader sent in a cleaned-up version of that too: here, by Benjamin Wearn who teaches physics at Fieldston School.
Now someone needs to make a simulation / animation graphing the two balls in phase space of momentum. :-)
I'd done something a while ago, to illustrate The Orbit of the Moon around the Sun is Convex!, here. Probably need to re-learn all that JavaScript stuff, to make one for this. Leaving this post here as a placeholder.
Or maybe someone has done it already?
The Indian theory of aesthetic appreciation (rasa)
Here's a great, simple write-up aimed at a Western audience, from the Clay Sanskrit Library edition of Kālidāsa's The Recognition of Shakuntala, written by Somadeva Vasudeva:
Imagine that you find yourself going to see a performance of "Romeo and Juliet." You are in the right mood for the play, no mundane worries preoccupy your mind, you have agreeable company, and the theatre, the stage, the director and the actors are all excellent—capable of doing justice to a great play. Your seat in the theatre is comfortable and gives an unobstructed view.
The play begins and you find yourself drawn into the world Shakespeare is sketching. The involvement deepens to an immersion where the ordinary, everyday world dims and fades from the center of attention, you begin to understand and even share the feelings of the characters on stage—under ideal conditions you might reach a stage where you
begin to participate in some strange way in the love being evoked.
Now, if at that moment you were to ask yourself: "Whose love is this?" a paradox arises.
It cannot be Romeo's love for Juliet, nor Juliet's love for Romeo, for they are fictional characters. It cannot be the actors', for in reality they may despise one another. It cannot be your own love, for you cannot love a fictional character and know nothing about the actors' real personalities (they are veiled by the role they assume), and, for the same reasons, it cannot be the actors' love for either you or the fictional characters. So it is a peculiar, almost abstract love without immediate referent or context.
A Sanskrit aesthete would explain to you that you are at that moment "relishing" (āsvādana) your own "fundamental emotional state" (sthāyi-bhāva) called "passion" (rati) which has been "decontextualised" (sādhāraṇīkṛta) by the operation of "sympathetic resonance" (hṛdayasaṃvāda) and heightened to become transformed into an "aesthetic sentiment" (rasa) called the "erotic sentiment" (śṛṅgāra).
This "aesthetic sentiment" is a paradoxical and ephemeral thing that can be evoked by the play but is not exactly caused by it, for many spectators may have felt nothing at all during the same performance. You yourself, seeing it again next week, under the same circumstances, might experience nothing. It is, moreover, something that cannot be adequately explained through analytic terms, the only proof for its existence is its direct, personal experience.
It is, moreover, a blissful experience. The fact that sensitive readers often weep while reading poetry does not mean that they are suffering, rather the tenderness of the work has succeeded in melting the contraction of their minds or hearts.
The non-ordinary nature of such aesthetic sentiments makes it possible for the spectator or reader to derive a pleasurable experience even from what in ordinary life would be causes of grief.
The Indian scholarly tradition has a lot more, including some very thoughtful deliberation and perceptive observation, but it seems good to start a discussion of rasa with an example like this, than to start with the technical details.
[Another good start may be via film. See for instance:
How to Watch a Hindi Film: The Example of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai by Sam Joshi, published in Education About Asia, Volume 9, Number 1 (Spring 2004).
and perhaps (and if you have a lot of time):
Is There an Indian Way of Filmmaking? by Philip Lutgendorf, published in International Journal of Hindu Studies, Vol. 10, No. 3 (Dec., 2006), pp. 227-256.

The rest is commentary
Famous verses appear in many variants. Thanks to Google, it is easy to find many of them. For "paropakāraḥ puṇyāya, pāpāya parapīḍanam", Google throws up a lot of variants for the first half.
The Vikramacarita has:
śrūyatāṃ dharmasarvasvaṃ, yad uktaṃ śāstrakoṭibhiḥ /
paropakāraḥ puṇyāya, pāpāya parapīḍanam
Other variants are:
saṅkṣepāt kathyate dharmo janāḥ kiṃ vistareṇa vaḥ |
paropakāraḥ puṇyāya pāpāya para-pīḍanam ||Panc_3.103||
aṣṭādaśapurāṇeṣu vyāsasya vacanadvayam /
paropakāraḥ puṇyāya pāpāya parapīḍanam //
ślokārdhena pravakṣyāmi yaduktaṃ grantha-koṭibhiḥ
paropakāraḥ puṇyāya pāpāya parapīḍanam
Going by the first line gives other verses:
śrūyatāṃ dharmasarvasvaṃ śrutvā caivāvadhāryatām | (or caiva vicāryatām ।)
ātmanaḥ pratikūlāni pareṣāṃ na samācaret ||
[Cāṇakya-nīti, Pañcatantra, Subhāṣitāvalī etc.]
See also:
prāṇā yathātmano 'bhīṣṭā bhūtānām api te tathā |
ātmaupamyena gantavyaṃ buddhimadbhir mahātmabhiḥ

As Hillel says, the rest is commentary.
For (some) commentary, go here.
Prefatory apprehension
Robert Recorde's 1557 book is noted for being the first to introduce the equals sign =, and is titled:
The Whetstone of Witte: whiche is the seconde parte of Arithmeteke: containing the extraction of rootes; the cossike practise, with the rule of equation; and the workes of Surde Nombers.
Its title page (see http://www.maa.org/publications/periodicals/convergence/mathematical-treasures-robert-recordes-whetstone-of-witte, see also the full book at https://archive.org/stream/TheWhetstoneOfWitte#page/n0/mode/2up) contains this verse:
Original spelling
Though many ſtones doe beare greate price,
The grounde of artes did brede this ſtone:
Modern spelling
Though many stones do bear great price,
The ground of arts did breed this stone;
Apparently the full title contains a pun (see http://www.pballew.net/arithm17.html): "the cossike practise" in the title refers to algebra, as the Latin cosa apparently meaning "a thing" was used to stand for an unknown, abbreviated to cos — but the Latin word cos itself means a grindstone.
The author again reminds readers not to blame his book, at the end of his preface:
To the curiouſe ſcanner.
If you ought finde, as ſome men maie,
But if you mende not that you blame,
Authors are either anxious about how their book is received, or make sure to be pointedly uncaring.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in a mostly forgettable volume of poetry (Songs of the Road, 1911), begins:
If it were not for the hillocks
You'd think little of the hills;
The rivers would seem tiny
If it were not for the rills.
If you never saw the brushwood
You would under-rate the trees;
And so you see the purpose
Of such little rhymes as these.
Kālidāsa of course begins his Raghuvaṃśa with a grand disclaimer:
kva sūryaprabhavo vaṃśaḥ kva cālpaviṣayā matiḥ /
titīrṣur dustaram mohād uḍupenāsmi sāgaram // Ragh_1.2 //
mandaḥ kaviyaśaḥ prārthī gamiṣyāmy upahāsyatām /
prāṃśulabhye phale lobhād udbāhur iva vāmanaḥ // Ragh_1.3 //
atha vā kṛtavāgdvāre vaṃśe 'smin pūrvasūribhiḥ /
maṇau vajrasamutkīrṇe sūtrasyevāsti me gatiḥ // Ragh_1.4 //
But the most nonchalant I've seen, thanks to Dr. Ganesh, is this gīti by Śrīkṛṣṇa Brahmatantra Yatīndra of the Parakāla Maṭha, Mysore:
nindatu vā nandatu vā
mandamanīṣā niśamya kṛtim etām
harṣaṃ vā marṣaṃ vā
sarṣapamātram api naiva vindema
Screw you guys. :-)
Big O() notation: a couple of sources
This post contains, just for future reference, a couple of primary sources relevant to the ("Big O") notation:
- Some introductory words from Asymptotic Methods in Analysis by de Bruijn
- An letter from Donald Knuth on an approach to teaching calculus using this notation.
Visualizing product of permutations
A simple pedagogical trick that may come in handy: represent a permutation using arrows (curved lines) from to for each . Then, the product of two permutations can be represented by just putting the two corresponding figures (sets of arrows) one below the other, and following the arrows.
The figure is from an article called Symmetries by Alain Connes, found via the Wikipedia article on Morley's trisector theorem (something entirely unrelated to permutations, but the article covers both of them and more).
I'm thinking how one might write a program to actually draw these: if we decide that the "height" of the figure is some , then each arrow needs to go from some to (using here the usual screen convention of coordinate increasing from left to right, and coordinate increasing from top to bottom). Further, each curve needs to have vertical slope at its two endpoints, so that successive curves can line up smoothly. The constraint on starting point, ending point, and directions at the endpoints defines almost a quadratic Bezier curve, except that here the two directions are parallel. So it's somewhere between a quadratic and the (usual) cubic Bezier curve, which is given by the start point, end point, and derivatives at the start and end point. (Here we only care about the direction of the derivative; we can pick some arbitrary magnitude to fix the curve: the larger we pick, the more smooth it will look at the ends, at the cost of smoothness in the interior.)
Even knowing the curve, how do we generate an image?
The letter in Roister Doister
An early English example of resegmentation for change of meaning: Merygreeke's letter to the Dame Custance, from Ralph Roister Doister (c. 1553), the first comedy to be written in the English language. [Aside: Shakespeare born in 1564 started had written all his plays before 1613, only 60 years from then.]
The example also shows that enjambment (no pause at end of line) did indeed exist in early English as well.
Scene 4
Sweete mistresse where as I loue you nothing at all,
Scene 5
Sweete mistresse, where as I loue you, nothing at all

Damian Rogers Proposes Surf Park for Melbourne's Docklands
Damian Rogers Architecture is hoping to "bring surf to the city" by proposing a $8 million AUD artificial beach and wave pool for the Victoria Harbor in Melbourne. Capable of simulating "surfable" 1.5-meter-high waves, the heated salt-water pool is envisioned as an extension of Central Pier in the Docklands. If built, the pool would be complimented by a beach, encompassing boardwalk, and grass-covered recreation and retail facility.
How Brisbane's Translational Research Institute Revolutionizes Medicine Through Architecture
In Brisbane, the largest research institute for medicine south of the equator, the Translational Research Institute (TRI), is transforming the world of medical research in part thanks to its new building by Wilson Architects and BVN Donovan Hill. Opened last year, the building has found success in the way it encourages chance encounters, offers a shaded breakout space for the neighboring hospital, and simply makes researchers feel like they "must be doing something important." In this article originally published by Metropolis Magazine as "In Brisbane, An Innovative Laboratory Complex Is Home to Pioneering Medical Research," Mikki Brammer explores how such a building can have such a powerful effect on the world of medicine.
It's not often that the aspect of chance is considered a positive thing in the world of medicine, where the smallest error can determine life or death. But at the Translational Research Institute (TRI) in Brisbane, Australia, chance encounters are leading to lifesaving discoveries.

Previously considered nonpathogenic, Rhodotorula species have emerged as opportunistic pathogens that have the ability to
colonise and infect susceptible patients. Rhodotorula species are ubiquitous saprophytic yeasts that can be recovered from many
environmental sources. Several authors describe the isolation of this fungus from different ecosystems, including sites with
unfavourable conditions. Compared to R. mucilaginosa, R. glutinis and R. minuta are less frequently isolated from natural
environments. Among the few references to the pathogenicity of Rhodotorula spp. in animals, there are several reports of an
outbreak of skin infections in chickens and sea animals and lung infections and otitis in sheep and cattle. Most of the cases of
infection due to Rhodotorula in humans were fungemia associated with central venous catheter (CVC) use. The most common
underlying diseases included solid and haematologic malignancies in patients who were receiving corticosteroids and cytotoxic
drugs, the presence of CVC, and the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Unlike fungemia, some of the other localised infections
caused by Rhodotorula, including meningeal, skin, ocular, peritoneal, and prosthetic joint infections, are not necessarily linked to
the use of CVCs or immunosuppression.
Rhodotorula is a common environmental yeast that is
found in air, soil, lakes, ocean water, milk, and fruit juice.
Rhodotorula species, part of the Basidiomycota phylum,
colonise plants, humans, and other mammals. The genus
Rhodotorula includes eight species, of which R. mucilaginosa,
R. glutinis, and R. minuta are known to cause disease in
humans [1]. Rhodotorula produces pink to red colonies
and blastoconidia that are unicellular lacking pseudohyphae
and hyphae. Several authors have isolated Rhodotorula in
different ecosystems and environments as well as described
infections in animals. Rhodotorula spp. have been recognised
as emerging yeast pathogens in humans in the last two
decades. While no cases of Rhodotorula infection were
reported in the medical literature before 1985, the number
of infections increased after that time, most likely because
of the wider use of intensive treatments and central venous
catheters (CVCs) [2].
This is an updated concise paper focusing on the general
epidemiological aspects of Rhodotorula in humans, animals,
and the environment.
2.Rhodotorula inthe Environment
Rhodotorula species are ubiquitous saprophytic yeasts that
can be recovered from many environmental sources. This
yeast has a strong affinity for plastic, having been isolated
from various medical equipments, such as dialysis equip-
ment, fibre-optic bronchoscopes, and other environmental
sources, including shower curtains, bathtubs, and tooth-
brushes [3–5].
Several authors describe the isolation of this fungus from
different ecosystems, including sites with unfavourable con-
ditions, such as the depths of the Baltic Sea, the high-altitude
Lake Patagonia, the soil and vegetation of Antarctica and

aquatic, hypersaline, and high-temperature environments
such as the Dead Sea (Israel), Lake Enriquillo (Dominican
Republic), the Great Salt Lake (USA), and beaches located
in northern Brazil. In this study, R. mucilaginosa was the
third most isolated yeast in seawater. Two other studies have
reported the occurrence of Rhodotorula species in marine
waters polluted by household waste [6–10].
R. mucilaginosa is commonly isolated from foods and
beverages. Several studies have reported the presence of R.
mucilaginosa in peanuts, apple cider, cherries, fresh fruits,
fruit juice, cheese, sausages, edible molluscs, and crustaceans
[11–17]. Although the consumption of food contaminated
infections, there is growing concern that food may be an
underestimated source of environmental pathogens [18].
Compared to R. mucilaginosa, R. glutinis and R. minuta
are less frequently isolated in natural environments. These
species have been detected in air, seawater (including
deep environments), freshwater, and goat's milk [19–21].
Environmental studies have documented the presence of
Rhodotorula sp. in tropical fruits, sugar cane, and shrimp
in the waters of Sepetiba Bay in Brazil [22–24]. Toms´ ıkov´ a
reported, Rhodotorula sp. contamination of food that is
provided to immunocompromised patients in hospitals.
[25]. In addition, environmental monitoring of yeasts in
specific areas of two tertiary local hospitals revealed the
Rhodotorula in the hospital environment, patients who have
a depressed immune system can develop Rhodotorulosis,
causing a variety of systemic infections. In fact, Rhodotorula
spp. is the most common microorganism isolated from
the hands of hospital employees and patients [27]. Further
studies are needed to clarify the role of food contamination
by Rhodotorula and the development of opportunistic fungal
infections. These future studies should focus on the survival
and growth of Rhodotorula in the gastrointestinal system
and its potential ability to transfer from the gastrointestinal
tract to bloodstream and should seek to better understand
the ecology of Rhodotorula in hospitals and healthcare envi-
ronments [28]. In this aspect, Rhodotorula spp. have been
isolated from stool samples, indicating that these yeasts can
and it is still uncertain whether Rhodotorula is capable of
passing from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream
[29, 30].
Among the few references about the pathogenicity of
Rhodotorula spp. in animals, there are several reports of
an outbreak of skin infections in chickens and a report of
a lung infection in sheep, both caused by R. mucilaginosa
[31, 32]. Rhodotorula was reported as the causative agent of
epididymitis, skin lesions in a sea lion, and dermatitis in a cat
that had crusted lesions and mastitis [33–36]. Interestingly,
this fungus can also be found in pools where sea animals
are kept in captivity [37]. Duarte et al. have shown the
presence of fungi in the ear canal of 45 cattle with external
parasitic otitis. The 45 cultures in Sabouraud dextrose
medium revealed the growth of the genus Malassezia in 31
(68.9%) of the 45 cultures, seven (15.5%) yeasts of the genus
Candida, five (11.1%) R. mucilaginosa, and two (4.4%) fungi
Rhodotorula genus as a colonising agent in the oropharynx
and cloaca of ostriches, in faecal samples and the cloaca
of wild birds and pigeons in urban and suburban areas, in
the ear canals of adult cattle with parasitic otitis, in healthy
rhesus monkeys, genital tract of healthy female camels, and
in healthy cats [39–44].
Animal models have been used to study the mechanisms
of pathogenesis of different human fungal diseases. Recently,
Wirth and Goldani conducted the first experimental study
in an animal model of disseminated Rhodotorula infection
described in the literature [45]. Organs such as lungs,
spleen, and especially the liver were the most affected organs
presented severe degree of infection. Considering that the
animals were highly immunocompromised, histopathology
of the involved organs revealed few epitelioidcellsand multi-
nuclear giant cells in association with abundant yeast forms
with occasional granuloma formation.
3.Rhodotorula inHumans
Previously considered nonpathogenic, Rhodotorula species
have emerged as opportunistic pathogens with the ability
to colonise and infect susceptible patients. Recent studies
have demonstrated that the incidence of fungemia caused
by Rhodotorula was between 0.5% and 2.3% in the USA
[46, 47] and Europe [48]. Most cases of infection with
Rhodotorula fungemia are associated with central catheters
in patients with haematologic malignancies. [46, 47, 49–52].
Considering that Rhodotorula is an ubiquitous and sapro-
phytic fungus, the isolation of Rhodotorula from nonsterile
human sites, especially from the mucous membranes, has
often been of questionable clinical significance. Localised
infections without fungemia including endophthalmitis,
onychomycosis, meningitis, prosthetic joint infections, and
peritonitis (usually associated with continuous peritoneal
dialysis) have been reported in immunocompromised and
immunocompetent patients.
The first report of fungemia caused by Rhodotorula
was made by Louria et al. in 1960 [47]. Subsequently, an
increasing number of cases have been published, especially
in the last two decades. However, this increase may be
a publication bias after recognition of Rhodotorula as a
pathogen [52]. Another possible explanation is the dramatic
medicine and transplantation.
From 1970 until 1985, no cases of Rhodotorula infection
were reported in haematological patients, but the number
of cases of Rhodotorula infection in these patients increased
after 1985. The increase of Rhodotorula fungemia related to
catheters was associated with an increase of more aggressive
treatment modalities, which include intensive care units
admissions, use of central venous catheters, short- and
long-term parenteral nutrition, broad-spectrum antibiotics,
organ transplants, and chemotherapy [51]. Most of cases
reported in the literature date back to after 1994, when CVCs
and intensive therapies were widely available. Table 1 shows

a summary of reported cases of fungemia related to CVC
use between 2000 and 2011 [46–68]. In all cases listed, the
patients were using CVC, short- or long-term CAPD, and
umbilical catheter. Zaas et al. [52] published a large number
of cases of CVC-related fungemia by Rhodotorula spp. that
occurred in a USA hospital [52]. The most prevalent species
was R. mucilaginosa, followed by R. glutinis. Most of the
patients had an underlying disease, such as congenital heart
disease, AIDS, cancer, or chronic intestinal disease, and two
patients were transplant recipients (one lung and one bone
marrow). Two patients were neutropenic at the time of the
development of fungemia, and five patients were receiving
parenteral nutrition. All the patients received antifungal
treatment. Only in three patients the CVC was not removed.
There were no reports of death or relapse of infection.
Perniola et al. [60] reported four cases of CVC-related
fungemia by R. mucilaginosa in a neonatal intensive care
unit (NICU) in an Italian hospital [60]. All the newborns
infected with fungemia by R. mucilaginosa were premature;
three had bacteremia prior to fungemia, and 3 received
prophylactic fluconazole. All 4 neonates had venous access
(a CVC, an umbilical venous catheter, or both) since birth,
but early removal or replacement of the catheter followed
by confirmation of sepsis by R. mucilaginosa was possible
in only two newborns. Blood cultures performed at the end
of antifungal therapy were negative. Another retrospective
study reviewed the demographics, risk factors, treatment,
and outcome of seven patients with Rhodotorula fungemia
over the years from 2002 to 2005 in a Brazilian hospital [46].
Risk factors included solid and haematologic malignancies
in patients who were receiving corticosteroids and cytotoxic
drugs, the presence of CVCs, and the use of broad-spectrum
antibiotics. Three of the seven patients died, with an overall
mortality rate of 42%. The result was favourable for patients
who had just had the CVC removed. Duboc de Almeida et al.
described 25 cases of fungemia by R. Mucilaginosa [48]. The
majority of patients had a CVC, and 10 patients (40%) had
undergone bone marrow transplantation. Amphotericin B
deoxycholate was the most commonly antifungal used, and
the CVC was removed in 89.5% of patients. Four (17%)
patients died [55].
In a recent paper covering the cases of fungemia by
Rhodotorula spp. associated with catheters between the years
1966 and 2006, Tuon et al. analysed 66 patients with
Rhodotorula fungemia. R. mucilaginosa was responsible for
most of the cases, followed by R. glutinis [50]. The most
prevalent underlying diseases were haematologic malignan-
and gastrointestinal disorders as well as the use of CVCs
for parenteral nutrition were also considered predisposing
A recent literature review published in 2010 by Garc´ ıa-
Su´ arez et al. analysed 29 cases of Rhodotorula fungemia
in patients with haematological disorders [51]. This study
showed that 100% of patients who developed fungemia
by Rhodotorula had some form of central venous access,
such as a Hickman catheter. In 2008, Tuon and Costa
performed the first systematic review of infections caused

by Rhodotorula in 128 patients [49]. The authors analysed
all papers about Rhodotorula infections published until
January 2006 [46]. The most common Rhodotorula species
found by the authors was R. mucilaginosa, followed by
R. glutinis and R. minuta. Immunosuppression was found
in 40% of patients, and the most common underlying
condition associated with Rhodotorula infection was the use
of CVCs. In a recent paper, Spiliopoulou et al. described a
patient who developed Rhodotorula fungemia in an intensive
care unit. The authors reviewed the risk factors associated
with the development of disseminated Rhodotorula infection
published in several reports including presence of central
venous catheters, solid organ neoplasm, abdominal surgery,
and administration of antibiotics. In addition, the authors
pointed out that Rhodotorula is reliably resistant to flucona-
zole and echinocandins [69]. On the other hand, in vitro
susceptibility studies revealed that Rhodotorula is generally
susceptible to amphotericin B and flucytosine.
Unlike fungemia, some of the other infections caused
by Rhodotorula were not necessarily linked to the use of
CVCs or an underlying disease. Table 2 lists a summary of
cases of localized Rhodotorula infection that did not cause
fungemia occurring between the years 2000 and 2011 [70–
90]. Meningitis and endophthalmitis by Rhodotorula species
have been reported as nosocomial infections especially in
human immunodeficiency virus- (HIV-) infected persons
[70–78]. Prosthetic joint infections caused by Rhodotorula
sp. have been reported in an HIV-infected patient and
patients without any known immunosuppression [79–81].
Goyal et al. described a case of infection caused by R.
mucilaginosa that had been unionised as a fracture of the
femur (the femoral nonunion). The patient was treated with
amphotericin B and required a bone graft [79]. Savini et al.
reported a similar case, but the patient was seropositive
for HIV and had fractured their left femur [80]. The
infection manifested as a chronic coxitis after the patient
had undergone surgery for internal fixation. Antifungal
therapy was performed using liposomal amphotericin B,
which eradicated the infection, and a surgical replacement
of the femoral prosthesis was indicated. Peritonitis caused
Rhodotorula species which have been reported in patients
undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [82–
86]. Most of the patients were successfully treated with
The first case of onychomycosis caused by R. mucilagi-
nosa was described by Cunha et al., which shows that these
yeasts should also be considered as primary agents that
can cause opportunistic onychomycosis [87]. The patient
was immunocompetent, and the onychomycosis affected
the nail of the hallux. In addition to aortic homograft
endocarditis, dermatitis, oral ulcers, and lymphadenitis
Rhodotorula species are ubiquitous saprophytic yeasts that
can be recovered from many environmental sources. R.
mucilaginosa is commonly isolated in foods and beverages.
Several studies have reported the presence of R. mucilagi-
nosa in peanuts, apple cider, cherries, fresh fruits, fruit
juice, cheese, sausages, edible molluscs, and crustaceans.
Rhodotorula was reported as the causative agent in some
papers, including dermatitis in sea lions, chickens, and cats,
can also be found in pools where sea animals are kept in
captivity. Previously considered nonpathogenic, Rhodotorula
species have emerged as opportunistic pathogens with
the ability to colonise and infect susceptible patients.
Rhodotorula in humans primarily cause bloodstream infec-
tions that are associated with central venous catheter (CVC)
use. Risk factors include solid and haematologic malignan-
cies in patients who receive corticosteroids and cytotoxic
drugs, the presence of CVCs, and the use of broad-spectrum
antibiotics. Unlike fungemia, localised infections caused by
Rhodotorula, including skin, ocular, meningeal, prosthetic

Date of Stay: August, 2009 - $20.00
A very nice park, well looked after with good dust control, friendly staff etc. It would be nice if it was paved but that is not common in Manitoba. It is a little overgrown but we were able to get our 5th in with no problems. Very private sites. We camped at Stephenfield Provincial Park - Stephenfield Campground in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2007 - $15.00
This park is off the beaten path and somewhat isolated out in the country. For us, that's a good thing. The sites are well-spaced in thick woods so it is hard to tell if anyone else is around. It wasn't very busy in mid July. The most interesting thing here is the large flock of wild turkeys that roam through the campground. The attraction here is the lake and fishing. It made for a very pleasant and secluded overnight stay. We camped at Stephenfield Provincial Park - Stephenfield Campground in a Motorhome.Undo

With retailers on all sides of the aisle attempting to become one-stop-shopping and lifestyle platforms, traditional supermarket retailers are moving in that direction as well. Safeway—the megachain with a footprint stretching across much of the United States—has just offered a glimpse at its own attempt to become more things to more people, providing a peek at its new wellness platform slated to launch in the second quarter.
"Today, we're a supermarket company ... selling wellness services and wellness products," CEO Steve Burd told analysts, according to Drug Store News. But within 10 years, he said, Safeway would become a wellness company that happens to sell food.
The impulse for supermarket chains to expand the meaning and capabilities of their brands is understandable, in an environment where mass merchandisers such as Walmart and Target have impinged greatly on their CPG business, and even drug-store chains and dollar stores are selling more groceries. Now Walmart, for example, also is expanding its purview in healthcare and "wellness" as well, beyond the traditional in-store pharmacies long offered by mass discounters and supermarkets alike.Continue reading...

Reuters Video Published Tuesday, May. 29 2012, 2:21 PM EDT Last updated Saturday, Jun. 02 2012, 12:13 PM EDT French farmers who force-feed their ducks to produce foie gras for the luxury food market are turning their attention to alternative fuels, using excess duck fat to run diesel vehicles. While it may not curb criticism of foie gras production, the farmers believe it's an efficient and responsible use for fat that would otherwise go to waste.
