Satoshi Nakamoto was a no-show, so Peter  Vessenes, Chairman of the <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/companies/bitcoin-foundation/">Bitcoin Foundation</a>, accepted the prize in his place.<br />The award was presented by Gigaom’s <a href="http://gigaom.com/author/tkrazit/" target="_blank">Tom Krazit</a> and Khosla Venture’s <a href="https://twitter.com/rabois" target="_blank">Keith Rabois</a>. Here’s how TechCrunch <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/10/bitcoin-wins-best-technology-achievement-but-satoshi-doesnt-show/" target="_blank">explained the conundrum</a>:<br /><blockquote>“Since  no one person made bitcoin (or did they?) the award goes to the idea  and the hard-working men and women around the world who are maintaining,  mining, and improving the BTC protocol. It’s also an exciting time for  economists who have suddenly become useful again as they try to explain  the vagaries of currency pricing.”</blockquote>TechCrunch went on to conclude that bitcoin is “almost mainstream” and that it seems like it is here to stay.<br />Although  winning a Crunchie is no small feat, the last few weeks have been  marred by bad news for cryptocurrencies. First there was <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/charlie-shrem-bail-silk-road-money-laundering-arrest/">Charlie Shrem</a>, then a few <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/btce-pulls-support-ruble-russia-bans-bitcoin/">regulatory problems and bans</a>, and then came the <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/price-drops-mt-gox-blames-bitcoin-flaw-withdrawal-delays/">Mt. Gox freeze</a>.<br />However, there were some positive developments that can’t be overlooked. Microsoft’s Bing search engine <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/microsoft-bing-search-engine-bitcoin-currency-conversions/">added a bitcoin converter</a> just the other day.<br /><a href="http://www.coindesk.com/companies/merchants/">Several big merchants</a> have gotten on board over the past few weeks and the <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/everything-you-need-to-know-new-york-hearings-bitcoin/">New York bitcoin hearings</a> ended on a high note, although they were overshadowed by the Shrem affair.<br /><h2>Increased coverage</h2>The  sheer amount of coverage has increased, too. Bitcoin is no longer  reserved for specialised publications and tech sites, as mainstream  media sites show increasing interest in the fledgling currency.<br />Financial institutions are looking into bitcoin too, and some have already issued relatively <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/pwc-report-bitcoin-in-showbusiness/">positive reports</a> on the currency and the future of digital currencies in general.<br />Bitcoin still has its <a href="http://www.coindesk.com/price/">ups and downs</a>,  but it is easy to argue the biggest positive development on the public  relations front does not have anything to do actual news.<br />The fact  that the media focus is no longer on price and speculation means that  interest is now shifting to more serious issues like real world  applications of digital currencies and regulatory issues.<br />In other  words, attention seems to be shifting toward the areas that are  integral to the growth of the bitcoin economy as a whole.<br />Image Credit: <a href="http://techcrunch.com/" target="_blank">TechCrunch</a></div>

It was 6:38 a.m. and still dark.<br /><br />A white van trailing Ruqai pulled alongside his car. Then at least three men, with guns drawn, jumped out of the van as another car blocked Ruqai’s escape and a third vehicle idled down the street.<br /><br />The men yanked Ruqai, also known as Anas al-Libi, out of his car and threw him in the van, according to a video of the abduction obtained by The Washington Post. The video, from a closedcircuit camera in the neighborhood, provides a rare glimpse of a U.S. covert operation and captures some of the bewildered reaction in Ruqai’s home once he had disappeared.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/video-shows-us-abduction-of-accused-al-qaeda-terrorist-on-trial-for-embassy-bombings/2014/02/10/7f84927a-8f6b-11e3-b46a-5a3d0d2130da_story.html">Read more</a></b> ....<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>More News On A Video That Shows The U.S. Abduction Of Accused Al-Qaeda Terrorist Anas al-Libi</b></span></div><br /><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/world/wp/2014/02/10/what-you-see-on-the-video-of-the-u-s-abduction-of-an-accused-al-qaeda-terrorist/">What you see on the video of the U.S. abduction of an accused al-Qaeda terrorist </a>-- Washington Post<br /><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/02/11/video-al-libi-capture/5385257/">Video shows 2013 capture of alleged al-Qaeda leader</a> -- USA Today<br /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/10/world/meast/anas-al-libi-capture-video/">Taken in 30 seconds: Video shows U.S. capture of terror suspect Anas al-Libi</a> -- CNN<br /><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/60-seconds-video-shows-us-secret-snatch-operation/story?id=22449318">Gone in 60 Seconds: Video Shows Secret US Anti-Terror Grab</a> -- ABC News<br /><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-capture-of-terror-suspect-allibi-seen-in-rare-video/">U.S. capture of terror suspect al-Libi seen in rare video</a> -- CBS News<br /><a href="http://www.euronews.com/2014/02/11/video-shows-us-capture-of-embassy-bombings-suspect-abu-anas-al-liby-in-tripoli/">Video shows US capture of embassy bombings suspect Abu Anas al-Liby in Tripoli</a> -- Euronews<br /><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/video-shows-u-s-military-abduction-terror-suspect-article-1.1608812">Video shows U.S. military abduction by Delta Force of Libyan charged in ‘98 Al Qaeda embassy plot: report</a> -- New York Daily News<br /><a href="http://www.newsweek.com/gone-60-seconds-video-shows-terrorist-suspects-dramatic-capture-commandos-228753">Gone in 60 Seconds: Video Shows Terrorist Suspect’s Dramatic Capture by Commandos</a> -- Newsweek

An excerpt from Annie Jacobsen’s Operation Paperclip, published this week.<br /><br />It was 1946 and World War II had ended less than one year before. In Top Secret memos being circulated in the elite ‘E’ ring of the Pentagon, the Joint Chiefs of Staff were preparing for ‘total war’ with the Soviets—to include atomic, chemical, and biological warfare. They even set an estimated start date of 1952. The Joint Chiefs believed that the U.S. could win this future war, but not for reasons that the general public knew about. Since war’s end, across the ruins of the Third Reich, U.S. military officers had been capturing and then hiring Hitler’s weapons makers, in a Top Secret program that would become known as Operation Paperclip. Soon, more than 1,600 of these men and their families would be living the American dream, right here in the United States. From these Nazi scientists, U.S. military and intelligence organizations culled knowledge of Hitler’s most menacing weapons including sarin gas and weaponized bubonic plague.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/02/11/what-cold-war-cia-interrogators-learned-from-the-nazis.html">Read more</a></b> ....<br /><br /><b>My Comment:</b> This is what has been declassified ....
