Trolltech releases Qt 3.0
Trolltech have announced the release of Qt 3.0 for Windows, Linux, MacOS X, various Unices, and embedded systems. This version of Qt includes a rich text editor, database connectivity, improved font handling and internationalisation. As previously reported, the COM functionality, long-scheduled and subject to some discussion, was dropped two weeks ago due to serious concerns about its effect on the API. Qt 3.0 comes with an upgraded Qt Designer (which provides for full application design, including menus), Qt Linguist to aid in internationalisation, and Qt Assistant, an online help browser. There is also support for perl-style unicode regular expressions, multiple monitors and 64-bit safety. The press release is here, and the downloads are available here. [Ed: As an aside, this proposal for a "Killer Component Architecture" by Brad Neuberg may be of interest to some.]
Is this version of Qt also under the "non-commercial licence" released? I did't found a command about that at the trolltech homepage.

If you mean is there a Free version of Qt 3.0, yes there is.

Re: noncom
He means the Non-Commercial version that is available for win32.
It hasn't been released yet but I hear that it will be in the next couple of weeks.

The old claim.
Why so expensive ? And cross-platform version is even more expensive. It seem that the current price ( 3000$ + 1000$ per year ) does not include Mac version ( as I understood it must be bought separately, spending another 1500$ ). IIRC almost half of their employess are management staff. They probably eat more than a half of total salary sum. Is this a reason ? I can buy a computer with Windows and a more complete development env. from Borland for that price. TrollTech sells its toolkit to rich Western companies, so price is no problem, but what with shareware developers, in-house development in poor countries ( yes they needn't use KDE or Linux - but this is not an anser ).
By Bur at Tue, 2001/10/16 - 5:00am
Re: The old claim.
When considering a toolkit for commercial development, you don't look just at the absolute price of it. Instead, you look at costs and gains. Say, tookit A costs 1000 of whatever currency and let you finish a certain project within 500 hours while toolkit B costs 2000 and let you finish the project in 300 hours. Now you've got a difference of 200 hours. How much are they worth? Are they worth the 1000 price difference? Probably. And there are more projects to come in which you experience the same increase in productivity. So you happily pay more for tookit B.
That is the very strength of Qt, highly increased productivity. It is much faster to develop with Qt than with any other toolkit I know of (at least as long as you aren't in Smalltalk ;-).
The math is different whether you are a hobby programmer or a commercial developer. As a hobbyist, you say "Damn, USD3000 is too much, I can't afford it" and go with something cheaper (same as for the hand drill you buy for your home use). As a commercial developer, you look at the difference in price *and* the difference in what you can produce with the tool and base your decision on the comparision of these differeces (same as for a drilling machine you buy for your workshop). Of course, if you run your business like a hobby you may be in deep shit anyway. ;-)

any FREE toolkit ?
why doesn't KDE use a really toolkit ?
Maybe you could build your own toolkit under LGPL or use an existing one... using the same syntax as QT or, even better, using GTK with KDE because GNOME also uses GTK... you see the point ?
I know it's maybe too late to think about it, but I really hate paying to develop software... And I want to use KDE power.

By TheFogger at Tue, 2001/10/16 - 5:00am
Re: any FREE toolkit ?
It might be wise from Trolltech to sell a special versions of QT. Lets call it "QT students Edition" (or "Personal edition")
This version of QT edition can be sold for the purpose of making *small closed applications* which lets a student at home buy the a special commercial edition of QT and to make some money by selling some closed source applications.
Now - this version can be a special version which limits by either (a) number of lines or (b) size of an application. I'm just throwing some ideas...
Another variant could be "QT student edition Linux" and "QT student edition MP [Multi Platform]" so one could be sold for $199 and the other $499.
Lots of companies are doing this business today by selling a limited version for students (like MS Visual Studio Student Edition) and its a nice revenue stream...
By Hetz Ben Hamo at Wed, 2001/10/17 - 5:00am
Re: any FREE toolkit ?
I remember a statement on their website saying that they wouldn't ship anymore shareware version because it was a nightmare to manage. They seem to have tried to do that kind of shareware version and stopped it.
So the poor student is stuck with selling a GPL application, or with developing non commercial application. This is already very good in my opinion. In France we say "you give them a hand, and they want the arm". Be satisfied with what we have, it is already very good.
Else, you can go with PyQt. It is far less expensive, equally well supported and it is great because it uses python!
By Philippe Fremy at Thu, 2001/10/18 - 5:00am
Re: any FREE toolkit ?
So you want to be able to use free software to write nonfree software? Why should you be able to make money off of Troll Tech's software but they shouldn't? Releasing a library as GPL seems to be, to me, MORE free than LGPL (which is quite probably why the "L" stands for "Lesser"). If you want to develop using a free toolkit, make your software free. If you want to be able to charge for it, don't bitch about someone else doing the same thing.
By Me at Tue, 2001/10/16 - 5:00am
Re: any FREE toolkit ?
Ok, it sucks for you, fine!
So please start writing a QT-API compatible port of GTK+.
But meanwhile we stay with Qt. You know, its GPL, KDE is GPL and LGPL. Its fine for our purpose. We don't have any commercial interest. We want to write only FREE software.
But please announce your toolkit when you are ready. I promise we will switch.
By Thorsten Schnebeck at Tue, 2001/10/16 - 5:00am
Re: any FREE toolkit ?
As far as I can see, Qt is free as in speech, but not as in beer. If you want to write free code (by which I mean *truly* free - with all the rights required for GPL compatibility) then Qt is free. If you want to write non-free code, then Qt is (quite reasonably) non-free.
It's a bit more limited for the Win32 platform and (I think) MacOS, where you only have a free closed source version of the library for personal use, and must licence your code under the BSD or LGPL license (GPL is possible with a disclaimer AFAIK), but TrollTech need to make money, and they've done wonders for the Unix community. If they go commercial again, people can continue with the last GPLed version; if they fold they've promised to release Qt under a BSD license. Frankly there's few other companies that have made such a sizeable and *real* contribution to Linux and the open-source community, and I for one applaud them for it.
Incidentally there was once an attempt to write a Qt clone, in the early days of the licence wars, called Harmony, but it collapsed. I'm not entirely unhappy that it did either. KDE has benefitted immensely from having a group of experts working 40 hours a week (in theory, judging by the QtMoz story it's a lot more in practice) on their core infrastructure. In comparison Gnome has found it hard to keep up with KDE due to work on all the libraries down, and have lost a lot of prestige, even though from what I've heard, there's a lot of seriously good work after going into the Gnome 2 infrastructure.
Basically, I think it's reasonable to charge for commercial projects and not charge for free ones. You may argue about the limitations on the non-X11 ports, but it's still a massive contribution for software developers.
By Bryan Feeney at Wed, 2001/10/17 - 5:00am
Re: any FREE toolkit ?
Wow, another RMS-brainwashed fool. Licensing is just that: licensing. KDE is fine using QT. QT is, in the opinion of most of us, superior to any "free" LGPLed libraries. If you'd rather use an inferior environment because you like the license more (and I'd bet most people making this argument have yet to actually read nad understand the licenses), go right ahead.

Re: any FREE toolkit ?
LGPL isn't any freer than the GPL when it comes to C++. From today's license-discuss list:
"I just got a response from FSF lawyers stating that "inheritance is considered modifying the library" ... and according to FSF, inheritance falls under "work based on a library" and as such should be released under LGPL."

just forget my thread: I thought that, with QT licence, you couldn't sell a, app, even in GPL.
But, is QT in GPL for Windows and Mac too ?
By Julien Olivier at Wed, 2001/10/17 - 5:00am
Re: any FREE toolkit ?
No. Qt is available for "non-commercial" use on Windows and Mac. The license basically says you are not allowed to sell an application you make nor get paid to create it.
Since the Qt non-commercial package is binary only, if your app is GPL then you have to include an exception in your license like "this app may be linked to Qt". Go see the Linux kernel license sometime. It is GPL-with-exception also, to allow closed source development on Linux.
Btw here is a question I want to throw out there: Is it even possible to have a true GPL app on Windows? Since MFC, Win32, etc are all closed source, doesn't that mean any Windows app claiming to be GPL is actually GPL-with-exceptions?
And another question. Say you write a GPL app that links to LessTif. Is it alright for some user to link against Motif instead? Do they violate your license?

Re: any FREE toolkit ?

It is perfectly alright as long as they don't distribute the binary.
By Morty at Wed, 2001/10/17 - 5:00am
Re: any FREE toolkit ?
It's perfectly OK to run GNU programs on proprietry versions of Unix, so I guess it's OK to run GPL'd stuff on Windows.

Re: Dockers
Here's a shot. The dockers are the little dialog boxes on top of the canvas, some angled horizontally, some upside down, etc. I believe theKompany introduced them to the KOffice codebase, and Kivio as well as Kontour are using them. It certainly is a neat little set of tools... if you want to see a radically different version of Kivio in action, check out HancomEnvision - you can download an evaluation version from the Hancom website.

PyQt on various platforms
Does anyone know if one is allowed to write and distribute GPL'd python programs that link to Qt 3.0 on unix and windows (and Mac OSX if that becomes available)?
-- Stephen
By Stephen at Wed, 2001/10/17 - 5:00am
Re: PyQt on various platforms
This is simple:
1) Qt3.0 on Unix exist in GPL licence. so you can write and distribute GPL software (language doesn't matter) using Qt3.0.
2) QtFreeEdition on windows can be used (link) with free software (free as in beer). The licence doesn't matter here, you CAN'T SELL your software. If you want to sell your software on windows platform, you need to buy a QT licence.

Killer Component Architecture and QT Price
Sounds great! this would be a really nice way to (semi)unify the *NIX desktop.
Also the price of QT stops our Company from using it for small in house projects. I think this is the case for the majority of potential commercial QT users, thus limiting the spread of QT.
By Fredrik C at Thu, 2001/10/18 - 5:00am
In house?
>Also the price of QT stops our Company from using it for small in house projects.
What do you mean by 'in house'? If it means an internal project, you can still use QT, but you cannot sell or distribute without source code unless you buy a license.
By ac at Thu, 2001/10/18 - 5:00am
Misconception ??
>Also the price of QT stops our Company from using it for small in house projects.
If your projects are in house you can use a GPL licence and use:
Then, If you sell the software, you have to buy a QT licence.
This is right licencing, thank QT !!

By Krame at Sat, 2001/10/20 - 5:00am
Re: Misconception ??
Wrong, check the faq at www.trolltech.com/developer/faqs/noncomm.html:
The Non-Commercial Edition is the Qt for Windows toolkit, licensed for private development of non-commercial software in a non-commercial setting.
A non-commercial setting means that you must not use the package in the course of your employment or whilst engaged in activities that will be compensated.

IM Kenneth Holroyd
Kenneth Holroyd, our newest International Correspondence Chess Master was born April 20, 1958. Kenneth works at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee as Medical Director for the Technology Commercialization Center. Kenneth, who was an OTB Master, found little time for chess other than blitz chess online. Then in 2010 he was speaking with Dan Fleetwood, an ICCF Grandmaster, who offered some encouraging words about correspondence chess. Those words and Kenneth's skill led to the ICCM title in his first two attempts at international play.
Kenneth notes that the thing he particularly enjoys about cc is that "it is a more 'perfect' chess, and each game can be like a work of art. The games often have a certain logical flow. Very often the games involve developing new opening theory and improvements, and many theoretical contributions are made. Spending a lot of time trying to determine the truth of a position deepens your appreciation for the depth and complexity of chess. It can only help a player's over the board and blitz chess for openings, middlegames, and endgames".
ICCM Holroyd wrote about both the work of art and the logical flow of a CC game. This game may well be an example of both !
Notes by Kenneth Holroyd
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0 Nc6 8.d5 Ne7
A complex position in the King's Indian Defense, which is popular in correspondence chess, offers chances for both sides.
The Bayonet Attack, a favorite of former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik. The ensuing sharp play can shift rapidly from the queenside, to the center, to the kingside.
9...Nh5 10.c5
More common in recent years are 10 g3 or 10 Re1
10...Nf4 11.a4!?
Much more common is 11 Bxf4. Instead, White immediately continues his queenside expansion. This uncommon move was experimented with in 2011 by V. Kramnik in a game against H. Nakamura, which the former world champion lost after a sharp battle. Subsequently it has been played in a few other over the board games.. This game was its first use of 11 a4 in the ICCF databases. Since this game I have completed two other ICCF games with this move, with two wins. Performing new analysis of little used lines can be a fruitful area for success in correspondence chess.
11...f5 12.Bc4 fxe4 13.Nxe4 Bg4!?
Nakamura preferred 13.....h6, after which I believe 14 Ra3 is an improvement on Kramnik's play. I currently have three ICCF games ongoing with this new move.
14.Ra3 Nf5 15.h3 Bh5!?
Sharper than ...... Bxf3 on move 15 or 16, after which White has a slight advantage.
16.Kh2 Nxg2 17.Bg5
Otherwise Black has a very strong attack and advantage.
I believe better is 17.....Qe8, although after 18 Kxg2 h6 19 Bd2 Nh4+ 20 Nxh4 Bxd1 21 Rxd1 White's three pieces eventually overwhelmed the Black queen in the game Holroyd-Balabanov from the same ICCF Master Norm 82 tournament.
18.Kxg2 h6 19.Be3 Nh4+ 20.Nxh4 Bxd1 21.Rxd1 Kh7 22.Bd3
The strongest and clearest way to press White's advantage seemed to be the following knight sacrifice.
22...Qd8 23.cxd6 cxd6
23...Qxh4 does not help as after 24 dxc7 Qh5 25 Rg1 White's position is near winning.
Much stronger than 24 Nf3
If 24.....Re8 then 25 Ng3 still gives White a winning attack.
25.Nxd6+ e4!?
The best chance to survive. The two alternatives are 25....Kh5 26 Ne4, after which Black has 10 different reasonable moves as defensive attempts, and 25.....Kf6 26 Bc5, after which the strongest move for Black is 26....Rg8, and then for White 27 Ne4+ is stronger than 27 Bh7. I invite the reader to explore these variations. I found many of them to be very beautiful. As an example, my favorite variation demonstrating the coordination of White's pieces was 25... Kh5 26 Ne4 Kg6 27 Rc3 Kh7 28 d6 Kh8 29 Rc7 Rf5 30 Rdc1 b6 31 Kh2! and White has a winning advantage. Working out all of these possibilities to an winning advantage for White was necessary before playing 22 Bd3, and planning 24 Nxg6.
26.Bxe4+ Kh5 27.Bc5 Be5 28.Nf5
Black can hang on quite awhile after 28 Nxb7.
28...Rxf5 29.Bxf5 b6 30.Re3 Qg5+ 31.Bg4+ Kg6 32.Rde1 Bf6 33.Be7 Qxd5+ 34.Bf3 Qg5+ 35.Kf1 Re8
Unfortunately necessary at the end of this long forced sequence.
36.Bxf6 Qxf6 37.Rxe8 Qxf3
White has a winning advantage, as his two rooks create mating threats, and Black cannot defend by trading his queen for the two rooks, as the king and pawn endings will be won for White, due to his extra pawn. This also was reassuring to be worked out when playing 22 Bd3.
38.R1e6+ Kh5 39.Kg1 Qd1+ 40.Kg2 Qd5+ 41.Re4 Kg6 42.b5 h5 43.R8e6+ Kg7 44.R6e5 Qa8 45.Kf3 Kh6 46.Re6+ Kh7 47.Re8 Qd5 48.R8e5 Qf7+ 49.Rf4 Qb7+ 50.Ke2 Kg6 51.h4 Kg7 52.Rg5+ Kh6 53.Rgf5 1-0
White threatens Rf7 and R4f6 mate, and defending by trading the queen for the two rooks results in a lost king and pawn ending. Therefore Black resigned.

The Dodge City Lady Demons continued to stay strong on the defensive side of the ball despite the pressure given by the Colby Lady Eagles in their contest Thursday night at the DCHS Fieldhouse.
But the Dodge City offense didn't run well against the Colby defensive pressure and that was the difference in a 35-30 setback to the Lady Eagles.
Dodge City was 9-of-31 from the field and committed 21 turnovers in the game.
"We got impatient offensively," said Dodge City head coach Kelley Snodgrass."We didn't run through our offense and we took our shots too quickly. We have to be more disciplined on the offensive end."
Snodgrass was pleased with the Dodge City defensive effort against a team with a history of scoring a bunch of points, but the fouls caught up with the Lady Demons in the final quarter. The Lady Eagles (9-of-30) didn't shoot much better than Dodge City, but stayed aggressive in getting to the free throw line as they forced the Lady Demons to foul.
"I was proud of us defensively against Colby," Snodgrass said. "But Colby got aggressive. They were much more aggressive on the inside."
Alexis Sanchez scored 12 points to lead the Lady Demons (4-11), while Jessie Harshberger added eight. Only four players scored for Dodge City in the loss.
Haileigh Shull scored 10 points to lead Colby (10-6), while Lauren Bell added eight.
Neither team handled its offense well in a first quarter that ended with the score tied at 5-5. The Lady Demons were 2-of-5 with seven turnovers after eight minutes of play, while Colby made only two of its eight shots with five turnovers in the opening stanza.
Colby hit their first three shots of the second quarter to build a seven-point lead, but didn't make any more field goals in the first half. Dodge City scored the final five points to trail 13-11 at halftime. No player scored more than three points in the first half.
The Lady Demons scored the first five points of the third quarter to build a three-point lead before Colby answered later by scoring the last five points of the period to regain their two-point lead going into the final stanza.
Colby continued to attack the Dodge City defense in the final quarter and used eight free throws to go along with their one basket to close out the game, leading 34-26 with two minutes left in the game.
The Lady Demons' next game will be Saturday afternoon when they travel to Wichita to face the Collegiate Spartans. Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m.

|MLBPA Press Release
With this license, BAT and its advertising clients will have the ability to present offers to any of the MLBPA's 750-plus players. Brands will now be able to utilize the BAT platform to submit offers to players and their representatives for both individual player and group endorsement opportunities across multiple advertising mediums. Under this licensing arrangement, advertisers may secure a license, through BAT, with the MLBPA to use more than two active players in any media or advertising campaign within a single calendar year. This includes personal appearances, TV/radio campaigns, out-of-home advertising and online advertising campaigns including, and for the first time, social media advertising campaigns.
"We are extremely excited that the MLBPA recognized BAT's unique capabilities as a leader in technology and marketing solutions and are excited to offer our advertising and brand partners exceptional access to all its players for sponsorship and endorsement opportunities," said Ryan Steelberg, co-founder and CEO of BAT. "This landmark agreement really highlights the marketing value of Major League baseball players and we are thrilled to work with the MLBPA."
"BAT's unique ability to provide targeted athlete recommendations, licensing and clearance solutions, through their digital platform to brands across our 750 players is a fantastic capability and we felt this was a key opportunity for players to gain access to new endorsement partners," said Richard White, MLBPA general manager of business affairs. "This new relationship is a true milestone for the MLBPA and we are excited to work with BAT."
BAT's patented endorsement platform (United States Patent No.7,809,603), which provides daily media and affinity analysis, along with the ability to identify, license and activate talent for cross-media advertising campaigns, is currently utilized by a long list of brands such as AT&T, Comcast, Ford, Samsung and Sony. The BAT/MLBPA partnership will give brands the unique combination of access to Major League baseball players along with BAT's technologies in the social, mobile and digital application-based products space. Brands will also find that BAT's library of on-file imagery for Major League baseball players is unlike any other group and coming to BAT with their endorsement ideas will streamline any and all opportunities.

For small-business owners, hiring a first employee is a significant milestone — one that directly affects the company's growth, future success and culture.
Tip of the Week
For small-business owners, hiring a first employee is a significant milestone — one that directly affects the company's growth, future success and culture.
When you're getting ready to make that first all-important hire, keep some guidelines in mind:
Understand costs
It's important to weigh carefully the benefits of hiring against the related costs. According to the Small Business Association, these can include: Wages and taxes, including unemployment, Medicare and Social Security taxes; workers' compensation insurance; recruiting and training expenses; benefits; payroll management; and equipment, including software licenses and data plans.
Seeking candidates
You'll need to consider where to advertise for candidates, what professional requirements you'll want them to meet, what wage you'll offer and how you'll handle the interview process. In addition to reviewing candidates' resumes and references, a comprehensive pre-employment screening may include a background check, drug screening, behavioral assessments and skills testing.
Prepare for payroll
A small business with 10 or fewer employees may spend up to $2,600 per year on direct labor for payroll, according to SurePayroll. What's more, if you don't know or understand tax laws and requirements, you could find your company facing IRS penalties. Online services such as SurePayroll handle all the calculations for paying employees; calculating, paying and filing federal, state and local payroll taxes; and notifying tax authorities of new hires.
Next steps after hiring
You'll need to complete a New Hire Reporting form that helps state and federal agencies track down parents in regard to child support payments. The IRS requires all companies also keep employment tax records for at least four years. Additional post-hiring tasks include verifying the employee's eligibility to work, securing workers' compensation insurance, establishing a bookkeeping system and fulfilling your obligations under your state's new hire reporting program.

Yes, the comic feels like it was taken out of SMBC, had its humor removed, and stuck on XKCD. That's not a problem, really, it's not like SMBC should, or does, have a right to this sort of "best case / worst case" joke. But SMBC does have a fairly unique style in terms of being completely mean spirited, as in this best case/worst case comic [i would thank the poster who posted it but it was anonymous...]. XKCD can't really make up its mind on this. Is it all sweet and sad etc, at times, but at other times just plain evil. It leads to a sort of webcomic personality disorder, where not only can we not recognize a stick figure as being distinct from any other, we can't even know the sort of way that xkcd stick figures usually act.
Usually, with a character, you are given some cues about them - even if it's the first time you are meeting them, you see their clothes, say, or their hair, or the way they talk, the words they use, etc. And this is good, and important. because in order to care at all about the characters you have to know something about who they are, what they think, how they respond in certain situations.
But in xkcd there is none of that. There's just - stick figure. usually a plain stick figure is a man, but that's all. We don't know a damn thing else, ever, and in my opinion, that leads to forgettable characters. Does any other popular webcomic have these two features? No running characters (ok, besides the played out and one dimensional Mr. Hat) and no visual or verbal cues about them?
Anyway, I know I didn't say much about the comic - I'll leave that to the physics kids. But take this rambly essay loosely inspired by the comic in its place.

Principal Proposed Uses
- Supplementation During Pregnancy
Other Proposed Uses
- Brittle Nails
- "Cradle Cap" in Children
- Diabetic Neuropathy
- Improving Blood Sugar Control in Diabetes
- Support for Individuals on Anticonvulsants
Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays an important role in metabolizing the energy we get from food. Biotin assists four essential enzymes that break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Biotin deficiency is rare, except, possibly, among pregnant women. All proposed therapeutic uses of biotin supplements are highly speculative.
Although biotin is a necessary nutrient, we usually get enough from bacteria living in the digestive tract. Severe biotin deficiency has been seen in people who frequently eat large quantities of raw egg white. Raw egg white contains a protein that blocks the absorption of biotin. Fortunately, cooked egg white does not present this problem.
The official US and Canadian recommendations for daily intake of biotin are as follows:
- 0-5 months: 5 mcg
- 6-11 months: 6 mcg
- 1-3 years: 8 mcg
- 4-8 years: 12 mcg
- 9-13 years: 20 mcg
Males and Females
- 14-18 years: 25 mcg
- 19 years and older: 30 mcg
- Pregnant Women: 30 mcg
- Nursing Women: 35 mcg
Good dietary sources of biotin include brewer's yeast, nutritional (torula) yeast, whole grains, nuts, egg yolks, sardines, legumes, liver, cauliflower, bananas, and mushrooms.
There is some evidence that slight biotin deficiency may tend to occur during normal pregnancy. 9 For this reason, pregnant women are advised to take a prenatal vitamin that contains the recommended amount of biotin.
Therapeutic Dosages
For people with diabetes, the usual recommended dosage of biotin is 7,000 to 15,000 mcg daily.
For treating "cradle cap" (a scaly head rash often found in infants), the usual dosage of biotin is 6,000 mcg daily, given to the nursing mother (not the child). A lower dosage of 3,000 mcg daily is used to treat brittle fingernails and toenails.
Therapeutic Uses
All the proposed uses of biotin discussed here are speculative, based on highly incomplete evidence.
Preliminary research suggests that supplemental biotin might help reduce blood sugar levels in people with either type 1 (childhood onset) or type 2 (adult onset) diabetes , 1,2 and possibly reduce the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy . 3 However, no double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have been reported on these potential uses of biotin. (For why double-blind trials are so important, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? ) Two double-blind studies have found benefit for diabetes with a mixture of biotin and chromium10,11 ; however, it is not clear how much the biotin in this combination contributed.
Very weak evidence, too weak to rely upon at all, has been used to support that theory that biotin supplements are helpful for brittle nails . 4,5,6
On the basis of virtually no evidence at all, biotin has been proposed for treating cradle cap in infants.
There are indirect indications that individuals taking antiseizure medications might benefit from biotin supplementation at nutritional doses. 7,8 However, it has been suggested that biotin should be taken at least 2 hours before or after the medication dose, to avoid potential interference with the medication's absorption. In addition, excessive biotin supplementation (above nutritional needs) should be avoided, because it might possibly interfere with seizure control. Note: All these proposed interactions are quite speculative, and even if they do exist, may not be important enough to make a difference in real life.
Safety Issues
Biotin appears to be quite safe. However, maximum safe dosages for young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking:
- Anticonvulsant medications : You may need extra biotin, but do not take more than the dosage recommendations listed in the Requirements/Sources section. In addition, take the vitamin 2 to 3 hours apart from the medication.

Five people were taken to Memorial Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries Thursday following a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 55 at the Interstate 72 exit, Illinois State Police said.
Dennis Robinson, 26, of Lincoln, was heading south on I-55 about 10:40 a.m. He was preparing to exit the interstate, and his car was struck from behind by a southbound semi tractor-trailer driven by Robin J. Sisco, 37, of St. Louis. The force of the impact pushed Robinson�s vehicle into the trailer of a second semi that was on the exit ramp.
The second semi tractor-trailer was driven by Jordan D. Bunn, 23, of Virden.
Sisco and Bunn were not injured.
Dennis Robinson and four passengers in his car were taken to Memorial. The passengers were: Ashley Robinson, 24, Hailee Robinson, 8, Carter Robinson, 5 and William Morris, 15.
Charges are pending the completion of the crash investigation, state police said.
A driving lane on I-55 and the ramp leading from westbound I-72 to southbound I-55 were closed for about an hour.

|Hungary became a Christian kingdom in A.D. 1000 and for many centuries served as a bulwark against Ottoman Turkish expansion in Europe. The kingdom eventually became part of the polyglot Austro-Hungarian Empire, which collapsed during World War I. The country fell under communist rule following World War II. In 1956, a revolt and an announced withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact were met with a massive military intervention by Moscow. Under the leadership of Janos KADAR in 1968, Hungary began liberalizing its economy, introducing so-called "Goulash Communism." Hungary held its first multiparty elections in 1990 and initiated a free market economy. It joined NATO in 1999 and the EU five years later.

Hungary has made the transition from a centrally planned to a market economy, with a per capita income nearly two-thirds that of the EU-28 average. In late 2008, Hungary's impending inability to service its short-term debt - brought on by the global financial crisis - led Budapest to obtain an IMF/EU/World Bank-arranged financial assistance package worth over $25 billion. The global economic downturn, declining exports, and low domestic consumption and investment, dampened by government austerity measures, resulted in a severe economic contraction in 2009. In 2010, the new government implemented a number of changes including cutting business and personal income taxes, but imposed "crisis taxes" on financial institutions, energy and telecom companies, and retailers. The IMF/EU bailout program lapsed at the end of 2010 and was replaced by Post Program Monitoring and Article IV Consultations on overall economic and fiscal processes. At the end of 2011 the government turned to the IMF and the EU to obtain a financial backstop to support its efforts to refinance foreign currency debt and bond obligations in 2012 and beyond, but Budapest's rejection of EU and IMF economic policy recommendations led to a breakdown in talks with the lenders in late 2012. Global demand for high yield has since helped Hungary to obtain funds on international markets. Hungary's progress reducing its deficit to under 3% of GDP led the European Commission in 2013 to permit Hungary for the first time since joining the EU in 2004 to exit the Excessive Deficit Procedure. The government remains committed to keeping the budget deficit in check and lowering public debt by using sectoral taxes, while relying on state interventionist measures to lower utility prices and boost growth and employment.

|Crescent rolls, spread with Nutella, a little cinnamon sugar and finely minced walnuts. Quick. Easy. Heavenly.
Nutella CrescentsWhat a wonderful way to indulge in Nutella - wrapped in a sweet crescent. Tasty and really simple too - you will LOVE these!
You just need some Nutella, cinnamon sugar mix, pulverized walnuts (or your choice of another nut) and a tube of good ole crescent rolls.
Unroll the crescents.
Spread each triangle with a bit of the Nutella.
Next you'll want the cinnamon sugar. I keep some cinnamon and sugar mixed up in an old spice jar just so I have an excuse to sprinkle some on some buttered toast - yum!
Sprinkle that generously over the Nutella. If you don't want to do cinnamon, just sprinkle with some powdered, granulated or even brown sugar. Remember that you're aiming for sweetness since the crescent rolls are not sweet.
I always keep a variety of nuts in my freezer, so I just took a couple handfuls of walnuts and broke them up in the food processor. Just pulse them though - you don't want to end up with walnut butter!
Sprinkle the nuts on top of the cinnamon sugar and Nutella. Chopped pecans would be excellent too, but my hand found the walnuts first, so that's what I used.
Then just roll up the crescents. I never have been very good at rolling these perfect. Oh, who cares anyway!
Doesn't that look good already?
Line 'em up on a parchment covered baking pan.
I just want to snatch one up and eat it raw! But don't. Bake them at 375 degrees F for about 11 or 12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Let them cool, drizzle with some melted chocolate and what the heck, give it a sprinkling of powdered sugar!
And do your best not to eat every single one of them!
Recipe: Nutella Crescents with Cinnamon Walnut Crumble©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 12 min | Yield: 8 crescents
- Nutella
- Cinnamon sugar mix
- Finely chopped nuts
- 1 tube of crescent rolls
- Melted chocolate for drizzling, optional
- Powdered sugar for dusting, optional
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll the crescents and spread each triangle with a bit of the Nutella. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar, sprinkle the nuts on top of the cinnamon sugar, and then roll them up as usual. Place on a parchment covered baking pan and bake 11 to 12 minutes, or according to package directions, until lightly golden brown. Let cool, then drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with a light dusting of powdered sugar. These are so good!
Sopapilla Crescents: Substitute 3/4ths of a block of cream cheese, softened at room temperature and mixed with 1-1/2 tablespoons of powdered sugar for the Nutella. Divide evenly among the crescents, top with nuts (I like thinly sliced almonds) and roll up. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle tops with cinnamon sugar.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Crescents: Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the triangles, leaving an edge of dough. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and crushed peanuts. Roll up, bake and finish as above.

LaVonne Rose Gillet Ammeter was born March 21, 1930, to Roy Gillet and Hester (Clark) Gillet. LaVonne was the second of three siblings: Yvonne, who died at age 3 before LaVonne was born, and Donald. The family lived on a farm near Peabody for a few years and then moved to Summit Township. LaVonne graduated from Burns High School.
While attending high school, LaVonne met the love of her life, Sherwin Ammeter. They were united in marriage on Jan. 15, 1948. LaVonne and Sherwin were blessed with four children: Myron, Melody, Blaine, and Stanley. They lived in rural Butler County for a short time before moving to a farmstead in Summit Township.

She always made time to help others and loved quilting with the Summit Ladies Aid and attending Twentieth Century Club meetings. LaVonne loved to visit and had a way about her that made those around her feel comfortable and valued.
LaVonne was very ambitious. She was a self-taught decorator of cakes for all occasions. This grew into a thriving home-based business that she enjoyed for many years. During this same time she also hung wallpaper, working with several ladies in the community. Their expertise kept them busy and in demand.

What we have, of course, is just "Hur hurrr, inter-net peepol R dum peepel", exactly like we had in YouTube Comic. And this was done on purpose! That is to say, Randy knew he was referencing it, because he included user "crackmonkey74" on both.
And that is actually where it gets weird: In addition to just putting dumb internet quotes out there, he made a lot of the users...other webcomic people. I didn't recognize them all, but from what I can tell, apparently Jeffrey Rowland is suggesting that Joey Comeau has been up to some type of pig fuckin' antics.
I'm not sure what the point of those references is - is he actually trying to say that those people are writing those things? I suspect not. Is he just trying to reference them so they link to him? Mission accomplished, I'm afraid. Is he just trying to make his readers who recognize the names think that this is the greatest comic ever? Probably. Does he end up making a much more confused joke than he intended? Yes!
long story short: References can be funny, but they have to mean something. Also be accurate, Jeffrey Rowland does not talk like that. He is much angrier and spells things wrong and makes up words. Here is a hint: if you can just replace the name of the person ("wigu") with any other name and have it still make sense, congratulations! you are being too vague in your reference!
And as long as we are discussing Overcompensating, I am happy to say that I am within 10 months of catching up to the present in the overcompensating archives! Guys: I have never been happier. this is a great comic. just beware: whenever he mentions his spider bite, do not click the link! his spider bite is so gross!
Oh also randy: if jeffrey rowland really loved you, your shirts would be on sale at his store, like all the good webcomics.
update: Jay, if you don't e-mail me, I can't tell you the secret for how to be a guest poster! Then Rob will have to guest post and we all know that no one wants that to happen.
