India back in Olympic foldComment on this story
SOCHI, Russia - India has returned to the Olympic fold after the International Olympic Committee lifted a ban on the country's Olympic Association, a source close to the decision told Reuters on Tuesday.
Indian athletes have been competing at the Sochi Winter Games under the Olympic flag due to the country's suspension.
The suspension had been imposed after the IOA proceeded with its December 2012 election in which Lalit Bhanot, who spent 11 months in jail on corruption charges, was voted in as secretary general.
The IOC subsequently offered a lifeline for the dithering IOA to bar all tainted officials from contesting its elections and elect new ones.
On Sunday the IOA elected a new set of officials. — Reuters

Prince William and Prince Harry want you, upstanding citizens between the ages of 18 and 29!
The royal brothers helped launched the search for exceptional leaders from across the Commonwealth to become the Queen's Young Leaders! To kick off the philanthropic program, Wills and Harry participated in a Google Hangout, even taking a totally regal selfie with 23-year-old entrepreneur Jamal Edwards.
"Myself and William are here just to show our support for all the young leaders across the commonwealth—especially you guys and girls across the Commonwealth that have managed to get online and stay online for this amount of time," said Harry, 29. "A huge thank you from both of us for participating. The stuff that you guys do is inspirational, so don't stop now. This is the beginning!"
PHOTOS: Prince William wears a wetsuit, explains to Prince Charles that "buff" is a compliment!
William, 32, wholeheartedly agreed, telling participants, "All the stuff that you guys are doing around the world gives us the inspiration to keep going—honestly, it really does. You set the examples. You set the pattern, and you give both of us a reason to go out and do stuff and go meet more people."
The program will select 60 young leaders every year for the next four years and support them in their work. The Queen's Young Leaders was launched in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's 60-year contribution to the Commonwealth.
Think you've got what it takes? Well #TheSearchIsOn! Visit the organization's website for more information on how you can apply or nominate someone else to be an outstanding young leader.

European champions Spain have one of the most complete sides in world football and an in-depth squad packed full of talent, but a spate of injuries to key players is disrupting the preparations for their 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.
Liverpool forward Fernando Torres, Arsenal playmaker Cesc Fabregas and Barcelona's creative midfielder Andres Iniesta all missed the tail end of their respective league seasons due to injury leaving coach Vicente del Bosque with a major headache.
The three youngsters were pivotal for Spain in their UEFA EURO 2008 success and Del Bosque is sweating on their fitness ahead of the South Africa showpiece. The 26-year-old Torres, who scored the winner in the 1-0 2008 final win over Germany, had to have a knee operation to repair cartilage torn in a UEFA Europa League match against Benfica on 8 April and has not played since.
Torres has been plagued by injuries over the past few seasons and faces a battle to be fit for Spain's opening Group H match against Switzerland on 16 June. "It's been a hard year due to injuries, and it's a massive shame that I haven't been able to play more matches," said Torres. "Now all I have left to look forward to is to try and be fit for South Africa. I have been waiting four years for this and, if all goes well, I do not anticipate missing it."
Fabregas confident
Arsenal captain Fabregas, 23, is another player on the sidelines having suffered a fracture in his right leg during his side's UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg match on 31 March. Fabregas, 23, missed the remainder of the season although he is confident of making the FIFA World Cup.
"On May 24, I will join up with the Spanish national team and should be able to join in a bit when we play Saudi Arabia five days later," said Fabregas recently. "Now I just have to be patient, making sure I come back as strongly as I can. The timing is looking good for the World Cup."
Iniesta, 25, is another star performer on the treatment table after tearing a muscle in his right leg. The Barcelona midfielder has not played since 10 April and is fighting against the clock to be match fit for the FIFA World Cup. "This is one of my most difficult moments, but life has taught me not to give up," said Iniesta.
The Spanish media has voiced its concern at the three injuries and the latest concern is experienced Barcelona midfielder Xavi. The 30-year-old Xavi, a crucial player for Spain and voted best player at Euro 2008, has been playing with a calf injury during the title run-in to help out Barcelona.
Spain had a clean bill of health when they surged to European championship glory under Luis Aragones, however, his successor Del Bosque has much more problems knowing that even if the players get back fit they will lack match sharpness having not played competitive matches.
If the progress from a group featuring Switzerland, Honduras and Chile, Spain will need star performers such as Torres, Fabregas, Xavi and Iniesta for the last 16 when they could face Brazil or Portugal.

I carry far too much stuff in my wallet -- credit cards, membership cards to half a dozen organizations, several IDs. When my last wallet finally started coming apart, I searched around for another that could hold these bits of my life; this wallet from Levenger looked like th ebest bet. I'm very pleased. Somehow all of the stuff from my last wallet fit into the new one with less bulk and everything is more accessible than before; I particularly like the separate pull-out passcard case. The leather is just rough enough that I don't worry about someone slipping it out of my pocket but not so large that I find it hard to get at. A good choice for packrats like me.

Well I have purchased many items from Levenger for many years but this wallet was a total miss for me. The wallet is to wide for my pocket and the leather clings to the pants pocket making it very difficult to remove.I would have returned the wallet but I had my initials engraved on the wallet. The wallet could have easily been shortened by 1/2 inch in the width. Just won't work for me. Not only is it had to remove it is very difficult to put the wallet away. Wish I had my $60 back. .

My wife bought me a wallet for Valentine's Day and was very disappointed when I wanted to return it and buy this one! The other day she picked up this wallet and said I can see why you returned the other one. Very soft, functional, I love it!

Purchased the wallet to replace an old one that worked well. New wallet is flimsy and hard to get in your pocket when full. I am currently looking for a replacement for this new wallet.

Excellent Wallet
By Bard
from New York, NY
Good quality leather wallet, feels very nice in my hands. Decent access to cards and money, and the removable sleeve is a wonderful benefit (and the reason I purchased it to begin with). Has a nice narrow profile as long as I keep to just the number of card slots available.
Finally! A billfold my husband really likes!
By kategray

This billfold is a thoughtful, carefully-designed combination of quality, compactness, and usefulness. The embossed initials are discreet and tasteful.
Sensible purchase
By Hberry

As a woman, I found it impossible to find the perfect wallet so I looked as this gem and bought it. It's perfect! The leather is quite fine and the wallet is so sensibly designed and constructed. It is most likely the last wallet I'll ever need.i highly recommend it.

I carry a lot of cards (credit, insurance, membership, etc.) and needed a wallet that could hold them all without being to bulky. I filled all 8 slots, plus the two in the removable passcase (and identification), and it still folds well and is less bulky than my previous wallet. I like the passcase idea and the leather is very nice.

Former W&L Principal enters guilty plea to DWI charges
- Details
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 25 June 2014 09:59
- Published on Wednesday, 25 June 2014 09:59
- Hits: 1406
Andrea Roane, former principal of Washington and Lee High School, whose arrest for drunk driving in a February 12 snowstorm roiled the Westmoreland County school system and eventually claimed her job, entered a guilty plea to DWI in Westmoreland County General District Court on Monday.
Roane, 40, had her drivers' license suspended for a year, was fined $500 with $250 of that suspended, received a 60-day suspended jail sentence and was ordered to enroll in Virginia's alcohol safety program. A charge for using a handheld device while driving was dismissed along with an earlier charge of reckless driving, which was filed at the time of her arrest.
The case against Roane was handled by Northumberland County Commonwealth's Attorney Jane Wrightson. Wrightson was appointed after Westmoreland County Commonwealth's Attorney Julia Sichol requested a special prosecutor in the case, citing a conflict of interest. Attorney Fleet Dillard of Tappahannock represented Roane.
Last month, the Westmoreland County School Board, which was the object of angry and bitter criticism from faculty, parents and students after they failed to discipline Roane in the three months following her arrest, voted not to renew her current contract, which ends June 30. Roane submitted a formal letter of resignation last week and was immediately relieved of her duties.
The delay in dealing with Roane, who was one of Westmoreland County's highest paid officials, led to a number of loud and boisterous school board meetings which were attended by hundreds of students, parents and faculty demanding the school board take action against Roane.
Other county officials, including the Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors, who were besieged by citizens' complaints, called the school board to discuss the Roane situation, and a number of the supervisors showed up at the school board meetings. At one meeting, Board of Supervisors Chairman Darryl Fisher told the school board, "I am here, but I am not happy about it. The school board has to take care of its business."
Roane's car skidded off the road just before midnight at an intersection east of Montross in a February snowstorm. Westmoreland County Sheriff's Deputies Kim Simon and Rafael Torres were called to the scene and arrested Roane for drunk driving and two other charges. She was taken to the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw where she was held overnight.
Roane, a native of Westmoreland County who graduated from W&L in 1993, was named principal of the high school at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year. Previously, she was the principal of Essex Intermediate School in Tappahannock, where she also served as assistant principal for three years.
The daughter of a long-serving and respected Westmoreland County educator, Roane is a graduate of Hampton University. She also has a Masters Degree from George Washington University. In November 2011, Roane was elected to the Westmoreland County School Board, but she resigned after six months to accept the W&L principal's position.

A California woman was the victim of a moving company scam.
Lauren Nydam's possessions were held for a $3,000 ransom in a moving company scam, KABC-TV Los Angeles recently reported.
Nydam discovered Moving Services of America through its website, and hired the company to relocate her from North Carolina, where she was finishing her law degree at Duke University, to her new home in Newport Beach, California.
The movers arrived a day late to load her things, but this was not the worst of it. Nydam's possessions did not arrive on schedule in California, and she received word they would be held by the moving company unless she paid an additional $3,000. The movers had originally agreed to a total fee of about $1,900, and Nydam had already put down $1,200.
When ABC reported the story on June 16, Nydam still had not recovered her belongings, but had determined she would have to meet the moving company's demands. According to the news source, it's difficult for law enforcement to intervene in these cases because the criminals usually work from unknown locations and use local freelance movers who aren't in on the scheme.
In addition to being aware of moving company scams, individuals moving house in California and North Carolina should be on the lookout for mortgage fraud. Both states ranked in the top four for mortgage fraud per capita in a recently released report.

The Ipatovo Kurgan on the North Caucasian Steppe (Russia)
Belinskij, Andrej B., Kalmykov, Alexej A., Korenevskij, Sergej N., Harke, Heinrich, Antiquity
In the course of rescue excavations ahead of pipeline construction, a large burial burial mound (kurgan, in the Russian terminology) with a long history of use has been excavated near the small town of Ipatovo, some 120 km northeast of Stavropol (North Caucasus, Russia). The work was carried out by the `Nasledie' (Heritage) organization for monument protection and rescue excavation in the Stavropol region (a self-governing county twice the size of Belgium). Like all rescue excavations in Russia, the dig was paid for by the developer, in this case the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) which is building the 700-km long pipeline from the Caspian to the Black Sea, creating an archaeological section right across the North Caucasian landscape.
With a height of 7 metres, kurgan 2 of the Ipatovo barrow cemetery 3 was one of the biggest kurgans in the area. Its complete investigation in 1998-99 took two long field seasons, not only because of its sheer size, but also because of the complexity of the evidence which covers 13 phases of construction and use, from the 4th millennium BC to the later 2nd millennium AD (FIGURE 1).
[Figure 1 ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
The first phase may have been a grave of the Early Bronze Age Maikop Culture which was destroyed by later graves. The extant central grave is an unusual one: two young people were buried in a sitting position in a stone-lined grave (FIGURE 2). This is not the standard rite of the Maikop Culture, pottery vessels of which had been deposited in the grave, but close parallels for this rite are found on the Kalmyk steppe. Calibrated radiocarbon dates put the skeletons at 3616-3256 cal BC and 3350-2381 BC, respectively, although the archaeological evidence suggests contemporaneous burial of both bodies. The next two phases also belong to the Early Bronze Age, with two crouched inhumations without grave-goods, and two Pit-Grave inhumations of the first half of the 3rd millennium BC.
[Figure 2 ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
The main construction phases (5 to 10) of the barrow belong to the Catacomb Culture. The early phases include a wagon burial, with the skeleton deposited in an extended position; the complete wagon had been deposited next to the body, and wooden parts such as the wheels were substantially preserved (FIGURE 3). The latter gave a radiocarbon date of 2615-2337 cal BC. In addition, the grave had been furnished with a large number of bronze artefacts, including a hook, a knife and a medallion. Above this grave, the kurgan was built up into a large, flat-topped mound (FIGURE 1). …

Medina is not very big. But there are many shops where you can find numerous products. After getting out the car, do not accept unofficial guidance. They try to get you to their houses or shops. Simply do not listen to them and be away from them.
What to buy: There are too many things to buy. We prefered puffs, woman dress and small figures and gifts. Additionaly, you can buy dried scorpions, snakes etc. from desert, beautiful plates or tea sets and oriental products.
What to pay: Every tourist going to Tunisia have to learn how to negotiate or pay ranging from 4 times to 10 times than actual price. At first it was a bit hard, but do not be in a hurry and enjoy negotiation. Sellers are very friendly and helpful.

Local Souk: Using the Medina
When wandering the medina you will get hassled by the local storekeeper but its all good banter, just give as good as you get.
Haggling is a way of life, so be prepared, start of at a third of the asking price and work towards an agreeable price.
What to buy: Whatever takes your fancy. We bought a lovely hand painted feather

Medina in Tunis: Nargilý
The shop was in the Medina in Tunis so with all these smalls streets all looking the same, I won't be able to give the exact adress.
What to buy: A nargilý is the souvenir that anyone have to bring back from Tunisia even if they are non smoker. It makes a great decoration. This is this water pipe used by local men to smoke some kind of strange tobacco paste or something like that. Some are made of crystal and silver and it is really worth the price.
If you are planning to use it, don't buy the small one. Pepole will tell you that you can use it as a pipe but it is not true. The big one are those that you can really use.
What to pay: I paid mine something around 50ý, with 10 pieces of coal (you need this to light up the pipe) and a small box of tobacco

Romney camp still framing position on immigration policy
President Barack Obama's re-election campaign launched a series of Spanish-language television ads in three battleground states on Tuesday. Separately, a Republican official stated that Mitt Romney is "still deciding" his position on immigration, then quickly backtracked. Taken together, the ads and the comment underscored the Democrat's advantages and his Republican opponent's challenge in wooing the nation's fastest-growing ethnic group, Democratic-leaning Hispanics.
The Obama campaign ads, promoting the president's federal health care overhaul, are running in Florida, Nevada and Colorado, states with large Hispanic populations. Obama carried the three against Republican John McCain in 2008, and polling shows a tight contest again this election.
The Spanish-language commercials are running as part of a nine-state, $25 million advertising effort the Obama team unveiled this week. The campaign had previously spent $850,000 on Spanish-language ads in the same three states to promote Obama's education policies, according to Smart Media Group, which tracks political ad spending.
Obama won 67 percent of Hispanic voters to McCain's 31 percent in 2008. Polling shows Obama continues to have a wide lead among Hispanics.
During the contentious Republican nominating contest, Romney said he would veto the so-called DREAM Act, which would allow the children of illegal immigrants to enroll in college or the military and eventually establish citizenship or permanent residency in the United States. He also urged a reduction of benefits for illegal immigrants to push them to "self-deport" and praised a controversial Arizona law that allows police to ask about the immigration status of those they stop.
Romney, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, has already signaled he'll consider policies that may not line up with opinions expressed during the primary. In April he said his campaign was evaluating an alternative to the DREAM Act proposed by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. The legislation would allow some illegal immigrant students to receive visas that would permit them to stay in the U.S. legally for some period of time.
The Romney campaign aired Spanish-language ads in Florida before that state's primary in January but has not run any since.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Academic Progression in Nursing initiative was designed to establish a national program that oversees the implementation of strategies to increase the educational progression of nurses to obtain baccalaureate and higher degrees.The Foundation of New York States (NYS) Nurses program will focus on the promising practice of a shared statewide or regional curriculum with two goals: increase the number of RNs pursuing the BS in currently established partnerships; and expand the number of partnerships. Since 2005, a highly successful educational articulation, known as the Dual Degree Partnership in Nursing (DDPN), has existed between the associate degree program at St. Joseph's College of Nursing in Syracuse, New York, and the upper-division bachelor of science degree program in the Department of Nursing at Le Moyne College, also in Syracuse. This grant will enable the Foundation of NYS Nurses originators of the DDPN to establish an educational collaborative with public- and private-sector colleges and their practice partners to further implement this model in other rural and urban geographic areas of the state. This collaborative will share best practices, develop common marketing materials, and implement a systematic, standardized data collection methodology to be used at the programmatic as well as the state level. Seventy percent of nursing students in DDPN programs choose to complete their baccalaureate education after passing NCLEX before the completion of the program. This program will have a significant impact on the number of BSN-prepared nurses in the region and will contribute to efforts around the state aimed at advancing New York towards the 80/20 goal.

Discussion for the Makita BO4510 (USA) Finishing Sander

Question: Bo4510 Sander
how do I replace the felt pad once I get it ?
Reply: Bo4510 Sander
Hi 1186908,
If I remember right the pad has a pull off adhesive to it.Make sure the pad base is clean then peal and stick if I remember right. Hope that helps.Good luck.
Question: Clamper
One of the clampers are not working correctly so the sand paper falls off. How do I replace the clamper? Do I have to take the whole sander apart? This has been a wonderful sander and we have owner it for longer than I can remember. I did remove a few screws but sander is still very much intact and I am not able to get to the clamper. Is there a screw on the clamper that can be tighten or do I need to order a new clamper? Thanks for any help
Question: Sander Repair
How do I separate the two halves of a Makita BO4510 sander?
Reply: Sander Repair
While holding the fan from rotating with the screwdriver, use a phillips to remove the screw in center door of the felt pad. Then remove the 4 screws at the corners of the felt pad. Pull the base and fan off. You can leave the bearing in the base (mine are epoxied in). The fan keeps the housing from separating. Now just remove the 4 screws holding the halves together and carefully pull it apart. Usually most parts stay in one side. I have been rebuilding the 4 sanders that I have for over 20 years, the new ones they sell are disposable.
Question: Seperating Housing
ben mulder
On the BO4510, is there a trick to separating the halves of the housing? After they're 1/4" apart there is a definite "obstruction". Don't want to use force (yet)...
Question: Rubber Pad
My Makita sander is model BO4510 and the pad is worn out. It looks like rubber to me, not felt, and it uses the self-adhesive sandpaper, not clamps. What replacement pad do I need? It has 4 mounting holes
Reply: Rubber Pad
I have the same problem. I've owned my sander for almost 25 or more years and I bought it used. It runs great but finding the proper replacement pad is near to impossible. Seems to be a problem with Makita. They don't support the good old reliable tools they sold years ago.
Reply: Rubber Pad
My pad wore out, too, and I simply replaced it with a computer mouse pad that I cut up to fit.. I had to use a razor blade scraper to get all the old pad/adhesive off. My sander uses clamps, but think a mouse pad would still work for adhesive backed sandpaper. I applied the pad using an epoxy adhesive. It's worked as good as the original pad and it's been about two years of heavy use since I replaced it. Good luck
Question: Base For Makita BO4510
Ordered a new base (155304-6) for Makita BO4510 sander, and it is significantly different from the original- metal for one thing as compared to the original plastic. Luckily I also ordered the 155674-3 clampers, as the original clamps (over-center wire ones) will not work with the new-style base. My original plastic base is marked 4107896.
Please investigate and include a note that, when ordering the new base you will also need the new clampers.
Reply: Base For Makita BO4510
Hi spacechem. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Because of your input, we've gone ahead and made some changes to the Makita BO4510 sander listing on the website. It's very much appreciated, and I'm glad that your repair worked out.
Review: Makita - BO4510
Mike B.
Have had this sander for longer than I care to think about, have dropped it, got it wet, dropped it some more and it keeps on working. One of Makitas better designed tools.

Woman: Date stole dog, TVApril 20,2014Woman: Date
stole dog, TV
The Associated Press
DOVER, N.J. No stolen hearts on this first date. Instead, a New Jersey woman says a man she met on a dating website stole her dog and her flat-screen TV.
Dover police tell the Daily Record of Parsippany that the pair went out for the first time Thursday night.
After returning home, the woman said she became occupied in another room, leaving the man alone. When she returned, he was gone and so were her Yorkshire terrier named Violet and her TV valued at $3,000. The woman says her dog was worth $4,000.
The woman says she knew her date only as Joel and believes he lives in Elizabeth, N.J..
Sgt. Richard Gonzalez said police are searching for the man and dog, and are checking other locations the pair visited.MORE IN This Just InVermont State Police responded to a single vehicle crash on Interstate 91 southbound in Westminster.

Our future sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain
The O'Reilly Radar Podcast: Steve Omohundro on AI, cryptocurrencies, and ensuring a safe future for humanity.
Subscribe to the O'Reilly Radar Podcast to track the technologies and people that will shape our world in the years to come.
I met up with Possibility Research president Steve Omohundro at our Bitcoin & the Blockchain Radar Summit to talk about an interesting intersection: artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain/cryptocurrency technologies. This Radar Podcast episode features our discussion about the role cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies will play in the future of AI, Omohundro's Self Aware Systems project that aims to ensure intelligent technologies are beneficial for humanity, and his work on the Pebble cryptocurrency.
Synthesizing AI and crypto-technologies
Bitcoin piqued Omohundro's interest from the very start, but his excitement built as he started realizing the disruptive potential of the technology beyond currency — especially the potential for smart contracts. He began seeing ways the technology will intersect with artificial intelligence, the area of focus for much of his work:
I'm very excited about what's happening with the cryptocurrencies, particularly Ethereum. I would say Ethereum is the most advanced of the smart contracting ideas, and there's just a flurry of insights, and people are coming up every week with, 'Oh we could use it to do this.' We could have totally autonomous corporations running on the blockchain that copy what Uber does, but much more cheaply. It's like, 'Whoa what would that do?'
I think we're in a period of exploration and excitement in that field, and it's going to merge with the AI systems because programs running on the blockchain have to connect to the real world. You need to have sensors and actuators that are intelligent, have knowledge about the world, in order to integrate them with the smart contracts on the blockchain. I see a synthesis of AI and cryptocurrencies and crypto-technologies and smart contracts. I see them all coming together in the next couple of years.
Beyond bitcoin and the blockchain to booming business
Widespread blockchain adoption requires understanding between developers and domain experts.
Editor's note: this post is part of our investigation into the future of money. The full video compilation from our first event, Bitcoin & the Blockchain, is now available.
The vision for bitcoin and the blockchain is unabashedly optimistic, though already it is being realized. More and more technologists, venture capitalists, financial institutions, and even regulators are seeing its long-term potential to transform industries, from financial services to data management to the Internet of Things. In the medium term, there remain hurdles to overcome before blockchain technology can offer sufficiently compelling solutions for the complex financial and technological world we live in, but there is progress to date — and it's promising.
Blockchain-based remittance vehicles offered by Coins.ph, BitPagos, and BitPesa, though early stage, aim to take a chunk of the $450 billion remittance industry by offering speedier, more efficient, and cheaper alternatives to traditional solutions. BitPay offers bitcoin/fiat payment processing for merchants as well as bank integration. Increasingly, private investors are diversifying their portfolios by purchasing bitcoin alongside traditional assets. Most recently, Coinbase even received funding from a group of blue-chip investors, including the New York Stock Exchange, and launched its own exchange, signaling both greater acceptance by the financial services industry as well as confidence in its future value. Ripple Labs has taken a very different approach with its protocol, permitting the decentralized transmission of practically any currency type — cryptographic or fiat — like an SMTP for money, and circumventing traditional payment networks. And to this end, it's already inked agreements with Cross River Bank (New Jersey), CBW Bank (Kansas), and Fidor Bank (Germany), with more on the horizon. Read more…
Better currency through programming
The O'Reilly Radar Podcast: Vitalik Buterin on bitcoin, the blockchain, Ethereum, and the future of money.
In this Radar Podcast, I chat with Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum and co-founder of Bitcoin Magazine. We met at our Bitcoin & the Blockchain summit in San Francisco to talk about the disruptive potential of the bitcoin and blockchain technologies. He also outlined some of the problems he's trying to solve with Ethereum and weighed in on how the use cases of money are going to change over the next 10 to 20 years.
Buterin told me that his father initially introduced him to bitcoin in 2011, and he wasn't immediately interested — in fact, he outright rejected it, thinking, "It looks like it has no intrinsic value, and it's obviously not going to work." As he kept hearing about, he decided to investigate more and came to the realization that ultimately led him to create the Ethereum platform:
I immediately recognized that the way bitcoin works is the way that money should work. It's exactly the correct approach, where you have: here's the address you're supposed to send to, here's how much you want to send, here's the button to send it. It's money made for the Internet, not like the credit card approach, where you just basically give everyone the details to take as much as they want from your bank account.
On a trip to Israel, Buterin encountered projects, such as Colored Coins and Mastercoin, using blockchain technology for things other than bitcoin currency. "They were trying to let people issue their own assets," he said. "They were trying tack features on top, tack financial contracts on top." The protocols, Buterin noted, were overly complicated and he realized there might be a better way: "You could make it much simpler just by replacing everything with a programming language, and then if you do that, then people can write as many features as they want in the programming language after the fact."

250 Whys, Amazon Dash, Streaming Data, and Lightning Networks
- What I Learned from 250 Whys — Let's Plan for a Future Where We're All As Stupid as We Are Today.
- Thoughts on Amazon Dash (Matt Webb) — In a way, we're really seeing the future of marketing here. We've separated awareness (advertising) and distribution (stores) for so long, but it's no longer the way. When you get a Buy Now button in a Tweet, you're seeing ads and distribution merging, and the Button is the physical instantiation of this same trend. […] in the future every product will carry a buy button.
- A Collection of Links for Streaming Algorithms and Data Structures — is this not the most self-evident title ever?
- Lightning Networks (Rusty Russell) — I finally took a second swing at understanding the Lightning Network paper. The promise of this work is exceptional: instant, reliable transactions across the bitcoin network. But the implementation is complex, and the draft paper reads like a grab bag of ideas; but it truly rewards close reading! It doesn't involve novel crypto, nor fancy bitcoin scripting tricks. There are several techniques that are used in the paper, so I plan to concentrate on one per post and wrap up at the end. Already posted part II.
More than a currency, bitcoin is an enabling technology
The O'Reilly Radar Podcast: Balaji Srinivasan on the bigger picture of bitcoin, liquid markets, and the future of regulation.
The promise of bitcoin and blockchain extends well beyond its potential disruption as a currency. In this Radar Podcast episode, Balaji Srinivasan, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, explains how bitcoin is an enabling technology and why it's like the Internet, in that "bitcoin will do for value transfer what the Internet did for communication — make it programmable." I met up with Srinivasan at our recent O'Reilly Radar Summit: Bitcoin & the Blockchain, where he was speaking — you can see his talk, and all the others from the event, in the complete video compilation now available.

The bigger picture of bitcoin
More than just a digital currency, bitcoin can serve as an instigator for new markets. Srinivasan explained the potential for everything to become a liquid market:
"Bitcoin is a platform for programmable money, programmable interchange, or anything of value. That's very general. People have probably heard at this point about how you can use a blockchain to trade — in theory — stocks, or houses, or other kinds of things, but programmable value transfer is even bigger than just trading things which we know already exist.
"One analogy I would give is in 1988, it was not possible to find information on anything instantly. Today, most of the time it is. From your iPhone or your Android phone, you can google pretty much anything. In the same way, I think what bitcoin is going to mean, is markets in everything. That is, everything will have a price on it — everything will be a liquid market. You'll be able to buy and sell almost anything. Where today the fixed costs of setting up such a market is too high for anything other than things that are fairly valuable, tomorrow it'll be possible for even images or things you would not even think of normally buying and selling."
Bitcoin is just the first app to use blockchain technology
Understanding the value of the blockchain above and beyond bitcoin.

I remember the first time I heard about bitcoin. It was June 2012, and I was invited to a bitcoin meetup. The whole time I was sitting there, I thought these were a bunch of computer geeks playing around with nerd money.
At the same time, I felt excited about the possibilities. If what the bitcoin believers were saying was true, it could become something very big. When I took a closer look, I realized why it could be so groundbreaking: decentralization.
Unlike other currencies and payment networks, bitcoin is not controlled by a bank, government, or financial institution. Instead, thousands of computers around the world verify transactions and manage a global decentralized ledger. This innovative technology is called the blockchain, and it provides a unique pathway that allows — for the first time — many computers that don't trust each other to achieve consensus. In bitcoin's case, they are achieving consensus on updates to the global ledger. Read more…
Blockchain scalability
A look at the stumbling blocks to blockchain scalability and some high-level technical solutions.

Request an invitation to Next:Money, O'Reilly's conference focused on the fundamental transformation taking place in the finance industry.
In a talk at CoinJar last fall, well-known bitcoin expert Andreas Antonopoulos made the following comment:
"I have no worries that bitcoin can scale, and the simple reason for that is that I know that IPv4 can't, and yet I use it every day."
The issue of bitcoin scalability and the phrase "blockchain scalability" are often seen in technical discussions of the bitcoin protocol. Will the requirements of recording every bitcoin transaction in the blockchain compromise its security (because fewer users will keep a copy of the whole blockchain) or its ability to handle a great number of transactions (because new blocks on which transactions can be recorded are only produced at limited intervals)? In this article, we'll explore several meanings of "blockchain scalability" and some high-level technical solutions to the issue.
The three main stumbling blocks to blockchain scalability are:
- The tendency toward centralization with a growing blockchain: the larger the blockchain grows, the larger the requirements become for storage, bandwidth, and computational power that must be spent by "full nodes" in the network, leading to a risk of much higher centralization if the blockchain becomes large enough that only a few nodes are able to process a block.
- The bitcoin-specific issue that the blockchain has a built-in hard limit of 1 megabyte per block (about 10 minutes), and removing this limit requires a "hard fork" (ie. backward-incompatible change) to the bitcoin protocol.
- The high processing fees currently paid for bitcoin transactions, and the potential for those fees to increase as the network grows. We won't discuss this too much, but see here for more detail.
We'll consider these first two issues in detail. Read more…
The 3Ps of the blockchain: platforms, programs and protocols
There is a burgeoning landscape around the blockchain's decentralized consensus protocol technologies.
Although it may be early to baptize new buzz lingo like "Blockchain as a Service" (BaaS) or "Blockchain as a Platform" (BaaP), there is a burgeoning landscape of various implementations and activity in and around the blockchain's decentralized consensus protocol technologies.
I've already covered the blockchain's sweet spot as a development platform in "Understanding the blockchain," so it is no surprise that its landscape will be made up of platforms, protocols, and (smart) programs.
Breaking-up the bitcoin-blockchain paradigm
In a perfect world, we would have a single blockchain and a single cryptocurrency. But that doesn't seem to be in the cards, whether it is technically feasible or not. Although wide-scale adoption and a critical mass of users aren't there yet, the market is signaling for a diversification of choices, some based on the bitcoin currency and its blockchain protocol, and others not.
