Family of scientist who discovered double-helix to sell his Nobel Prize

Six decades after Francis Crick helped identify the structure of DNA, the Nobel Prize he received for the discovery is going under the hammer.
The Cambridge academic was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine alongside James Watson and Maurice Wilkins in 1962, nine years after deciphering DNA's double helix . But his family have now decided to put the medal and diploma, alongside other memorabilia, up for auction – the first time a Nobel Prize has been up for public sale.
Crick died in 2004 at the age of 88, and the 23-carat gold medal, which is engraved with his initials and the date of its award, has been in a safe-deposit box in California since the death of his widow three years later. Kindra Crick, the scientist's granddaughter, said: "The family had a hard time knowing what to do with it the Nobel Prize. We were keen it didn't stay in storage. We needed to make it available to someone who could take care of it but also put it on display."
"This is a part of science history and there are a select group who would want to buy it and also be able to put it on show, which we would find hard, We hope it can inspire the next generation of scientists."
Even during his lifetime, Crick kept the award locked away. His children do not recall seeing it after the ceremony, while granddaughter Kindra has never seen it.
"He was not one to have certificates on his wall. He was not one to rest on his laurels," she said.
The initial bid for the medal and diploma is $500,000 (£330,000) but some have estimated it could end up going for as much as $5m when it comes up for auction in New York in April. Part of the proceeds will help fund the Francis Crick Institute, which is due to open in London in 2015.

The Hoff, hooked! Backstage with David Hasselhoff and the panto brigade
Saturday 28 December 2013
Booing and hissing ex-soap stars and Eighties musicians has become an integral, if confusing, part of the Christmas tradition in the UK. As a kid, I remember pulling at my mum's ski-pants to ask who Sinitta was and why everyone was so excited to see her perform next to Cannon and Ball (it was always Cannon and Ball).
It may seem – thanks to certain castings – like an anachronism, but pantomime is as popular as ever before, with market leaders Qdos (a pantomime production company hosting 24 shows this year) anticipating 1.5 million people shouting "He's behind you" this season.
So why do we still love panto? Is it to do with pulling up the drawbridge on modernity, throwing away the PC handbook and stripping everything back to bawdy basics? To find out, I went along to the rehearsal of this year's production of Peter Pan at Nottingham's Theatre Royal, starring David Hasselhoff as Hook, Su Pollard as Mimi the Magical Mermaid and CBeebies presenter Barney Harwood as Peter.
As the revenue from panto grows, so the machine around it does, too. Most of Qdos's shows begin life at dance studios in London, before being transferred to theatres across the country. Peter Pan is rehearsing in the Dance Attic Studios in Fulham – a traditional space where tiled corridors are stalked by slim, polo-neck wearing choreographers peering over their rimless glasses. I am eventually led through a succession of mirrored dressing rooms by one such gentleman, to a large studio where the full cast, minus The Hoff, are sat in small groups on the floor. As they prepare, I catch up with the show's director Tudor Davies, whose enthusiasm for his job is palpable.
"This is my 56th panto," he tells me, adjusting his scarf with one hand and wafting the air with a flamenco fan held in the other. "In that way, I'm a bit of a panto pixie." The script was adapted from JM Barrie's original story by Jonathan Kiley, with some help from Tudor to include Ed Miliband Miley Cyrus. "It'd veered from the original text quite a lot," he explains.
Tudor is flanked by two blokes in tracksuit bottoms, fleeces and running shoes: Joseph Morley, the music director and Gerry Zuccarello, the show's choreographer.
"Pantomime is a mongrel, it is a mixture of different styles of theatre: Italian commedia dell'arte, English music hall, middle European operetta, burlesque, vaudeville, variety... It's a wonderful distillation of pure entertainment for the whole family."
I wonder if he will be honest in admitting that today, it is also a safe haven for performers who might otherwise have to retire. "I don't know about that. Theatre up until 250 years ago was full of people drinking and defecating; then a man called John Rich came along and said, 'There's a whole audience out there being ignored, and that's the children'."
Hasselhoff has completed four successive panto seasons at theatres across the UK (Immo Klink)
A director, producer and founder of the New Theatre at Lincoln's Inn Fields in London during the early Georgian period, John Rich pioneered a more visual approach to theatre, notably employing the use of animals and optical illusions. But it wasn't until over a hundred years later, with the arrival of Augustus Harris to the Drury Lane theatre in London during the mid-19th century, that pantomime began to resemble its present form. Harris understood the pull of established names, and brought to his productions luminaries such as operatic sopranos Nellie Melba and Emma Eames. After that, theatres began to engage in a war of celebrity, aiming to score the bigger name in a bid to pull in a bigger audience.
To this show's credit, David Hasselhoff is one name bigger than most on today's panto circuit. Not only was he the central character in two of the Eighties' and Nineties' most popular TV shows – Knight Rider and Baywatch respectively – but he also performed at the fall of the Berlin Wall. The magnitude of having him on board the production is obvious from the giggles between dancers who approach me to ask if I've met David and who coyly describe him as "lovely". I ask if any of them fancy him, but Tudor declares that rehearsals are underway and I'm ushered to another side of the room before they have time to answer.
I've arrived on "clean-up day". The cast had only started rehearsing four days before and were already at the stage of fine-tuning the transition between sequences. As Su Pollard puts it – shouting across the room – pantomime is "very of the moment", insofar as it is learnt, rehearsed and delivered to audiences all within a matter of weeks. She is wearing socks over tights under shorts embellished with jewels and has several large, clip-on flowers in her hair. She shakes her limbs in preparation for a scene referred to as 'Applause', soundtracked by Lady Gaga's song of the same name.
Su channels her Hi-de-Hi! persona while mouthing the words and exchanging glances with Tigerlily and Tinkerbell. Twirling on a pair of sparkly roller-skates, the blonde-haired Tinkerbell later tells me that she has played the role for several seasons. "We both play Tigerlily and Tinkerbell quite a lot," she explains, gesturing to her co-star.
Things slow down with a 'Wave your broomstick' number – the kind of music I'd remembered from panto, as opposed to the Gaga number: more oompah beats and fewer dubstep breakdowns. ("Panto's changed a lot over the years," Su explains. "There's pyrotechnics and mentions of those wonderful console games, PX360s or whatever you call them.") Meanwhile, the girls and boys who make up the rest of the cast put on an impressive show of interpretive acrobatics. Su, true to form, winces and purses her rouged lips in camp horror at the site of all the flailing limbs. The sequence builds to a crescendo of argy-bargy – we may be on-board Captain Hook's ship at this point – as David enters from the other side of the studio.
Peter Pan was David Hasselhoff's first professional performance, as a crew member aboard Hook's ship, aged seven. In recent years he has taken to playing the role of Hook himself, completing four successive panto seasons at theatres across the UK. It's a role he admits to feeling at home in, and it shows. Wearing a green T-shirt and khaki combat trousers, he strolls into the room, towering above Su, and stands next to the first of the female dancers.
"I miss the movies..." he laments, glancing down at the girl's chest, "...and the boobies."
He moves along to the next.
"I miss the TV shows..." he booms, this time louder and glancing down at the second girl's chest, "...and the boobies."
Flying high: Tinkerbell goes through her moves (Immo Klink)
By the time he drops the third scripted booby gag, Tudor and his cohorts – the sound tech and choreographer – are bent double. Even David struggles to finish his lines. The scene builds to one of the said Miley Cyrus gags. Which, if this were a real pirate ship, would be enough to make you want to throw yourself overboard. It's these instances which David refers to when he later admits that he does panto "to keep in touch, and current, with the kids".
In fact, when I ask how it feels going from film to performing alongside Su 'Magical Mermaid' Pollard in a production of Peter Pan, he gives an array of answers, but one I suspect is the more honest admission: "My daughters will be coming over and it's good for them to see what I've been doing and to understand how much work goes into it".
After a well-publicised breakdown, David is reticent about speaking to the press. Yet behind all the bravado of Tudor's script, a candid chat with him in a separate rehearsal area soon shifts from spiel to him expressing some insightful thoughts on theatre, and panto in particular.
"When people perform they forget that they are essentially interacting with an audience. In panto you can't ignore that fact. It's nice when you're on a ride. We had maybe four real super-rides last year, when everything was perfect and it was incredible: every timing was right, every joke we did was bang-on and we couldn't wait to get back onstage. That's the challenge: to try and recreate that every night."
Watching him stride into the dance studio café for lunch, chatting to the cast before learning his lines in the corner, he seems to really enjoy being a part of the whole process. He adds, almost as a warm farewell to those heady days of worldwide superstardom: "I look out the window and think, I'm never going to complain about anything. My girlfriend's dad is a plasterer in Wales working outside every day in the cold. It's like we never have to grow up, spending our days inside here, just pretending..."
Hasselhoff says: 'It's like we never have to grow up, spending our days inside here, just pretending...' (Immo Klink)
Heading outside of the studio and across the road to the church hall where the costumes are being stored before transfer to Nottingham, I bump into Barney Harwood, who is keen to talk about tackling the role of Peter.
"He loves Wendy, but he doesn't realise, or perhaps he does. It's his choice not to grow up."
I suggest that in that way, Peter Pan is actually quite a sad story; that we all have to grow up eventually and Peter misses out by refusing to follow Wendy.
Arriving in the church entrance, costumes are bundled into boxes not dissimilar to those found in a school props cupboard. Su's leaden, teal-green velvet mermaid costume and David's skull embellished, Earl of Rochester-inspired coat and breeches, are all wrapped up in plastic. The guy in charge of logistics explains that costumes are recycled. That there are teams dedicated to amending them, as well as teams devoted to designing and building sets, who work tirelessly throughout the year awaiting the arrival of David.
A van pulls up outside, ready for the boxes to be loaded and delivered to the theatre, where the cast will expand to include two child actors playing Michael and John. The show has runs from 7 December to 12 January, 2014. By the time of going to print, it will have already been running for several weeks.
In that time I hope the cast have gotten on one of those super-rides and given the audience a show they'll remember for a while. Or at least until next year, when the kids who never had to grow up, swoop in from Neverland to sprinkle their fallen-star dust over our market town theatres once more.

Major Asian cities face climate disaster: WWF
Monday 16 November 2009
Low-lying and impoverished Asian coastal cities such as Dhaka, Manila and Jakarta are vulnerable to "brutal" damage from climate change without global action, environmental group WWF warned Thursday.
Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions must be curtailed in "mega-cities" where global warming will affect everything from national security to water availability, the influential campaign group said.
"Climate change is already shattering cities across developing Asia and will be even more brutal in the future," said Kim Carstensen, head of the WWF Global Climate Initiative.
"These cities are vulnerable and need urgent help to adapt, in order to protect the lives of millions of citizens, a massive amount of assets, and their large contributions to the national GDP (gross domestic product)."
Including their suburbs, Dhaka, Manila and Jakarta now have a combined population of about 49 million, according to WWF.
It said better-off cities such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore also faced varying degrees of risk from climate change, such as rising sea levels, excessive rain, flooding and heatwaves.
Hong Kong could see dramatically fewer cold days per year while dengue fever appears to be spreading to previously unaffected parts of Singapore, it noted.
"Asia is the most populous and arguably the most vulnerable continent in the world because of the high risk of climate impacts and relatively low adaptive capacity," the report said.
"Unfortunately, the full extent of climate change has likely not been fully realised," it said, noting that temperatures in Asia have risen by one to three degrees Centigrade (two to five degrees Fahrenheit) in the last 100 years.
WWF issued its report to coincide with a weekend summit here to be attended by US President Barack Obama, Chinese President Hu Jintao and other Asia-Pacific leaders.
The summit takes place three weeks before crucial talks on a new world climate pact open in Copenhagen on December 7.
WWF said that on a "vulnerability" scale going up to 10, Dhaka rated nine points, and Manila and Jakarta eight each.
"Leaders in hotspots of danger like Dhaka, Manila or Jakarta need urgent support from their counterparts in the industrialised world," Carstensen said.
"Effective near-term and long-term adaptation will depend on financial support, technology cooperation, and capacity-building," he said.
Calcutta and Phnom Penh received scores of seven each on the WWF danger scale, Ho Chi Minh City and Shanghai six each, Bangkok five, and Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and Singapore four each.
It urged the leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum to use their summit to promote strategies to reduce carbon emissions across the 21-member organisation.
In a communique to be issued at the end of their annual meeting Sunday, the APEC leaders are expected to declare their support for a global deal at next month's Copenhagen climate gathering.
"We believe that global emissions will need to peak over the next few years, and be reduced to 50 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, recognising that the time-frame for peaking will be longer in developing countries," said a draft of the statement obtained by AFP.
China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said Thursday that it would seek a "fair and reasonable" result at Copenhagen but reiterated that rich nations must bear most of the burden for redressing global warming.
The WWF report said that while they cause many of their own climate-related problems, Asia's big cities are also part of the solution.
It said "cities are hot spots of innovation and technology and have therefore traditionally been the places where many of the solutions to the world's problems have been developed."

SANTA BARBARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/26/12 -- Eucalyptus Systems, the leading provider of private and hybrid cloud computing software, today announced several new capabilities within its open cloud software including advanced features that drive greater visibility into cloud operations and expanded storage options. Eucalyptus 3.2 also introduces several new features that increase control and management of cloud resources including a new graphical user interface which enables self-service capabilities, simplified cloud administration, and enhanced cloud usage reporting. Eucalyptus 3.2 furthers the company's leadership in open source cloud computing software for private and hybrid clouds.
"Visibility and control are foundational elements in driving the broader adoption of cloud computing in the enterprise," said Aneel Lakhani, research director, Gartner. "These capabilities are critical across the entire cloud spectrum, but especially for customers pursuing a hybrid approach where applications may run on multiple clouds, private or public, for maximum flexibility in supporting business needs."
Managing distributed cloud environments is a daunting challenge for today's cloud administrators. As the complexity and scale of cloud deployments grow, solutions that automate key processes, troubleshoot and resolve performance issues, and report on cloud usage and key trends are critical for success. Innovations in Eucalyptus 3.2 provide customers with greater visibility and control over cloud environments so they can accelerate cloud adoption across their organizations. New features include:
Web-based Cloud User Console - A new graphical user interface enables self-service provisioning of compute, network, and storage resources. The console allows users to perform self-service operations including the provisioning of instances, keypair and password creation, Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume and snapshot operations, image catalog listing and registration, user group operations, and elastic IP operations.
Enhanced Cloud Usage Reporting - Allows cloud administrators to easily understand usage of cloud resources, provide chargeback for resources consumed, and facilitate capacity planning. Cloud administrators can report on cloud compute, storage, and memory usage at the user, group, and cloud level; generate and export reports via the graphical user interface, API, or command line; and store usage data in an external database as desired.
Simplified Cloud Administration - Cloud administrators also benefit from simplified cloud administration through improved logging capabilities for faster troubleshooting and issue resolution.
Improved Cloud Robustness - Performing QA testing on a massive scale and in an open environment ensures Eucalyptus is production-ready software that enterprises can rely on. Eucalyptus 3.2 increases the resiliency and availability of applications with a hardened node controller that further increases cloud reliability.
"At any given time, our load-test harness may handle up to 6000 concurrent connections to 20 test applications across multiple groups and phases of development. Eucalyptus enables us to quickly provision cloud resources to meet these demands using the same ecosystem of tools we're already familiar with through our work with AWS," said Thomas Morse, director of IT and SaaS operations, App Dynamics. "The reliability, flexibility and control provided by Eucalyptus 3.2 sets the stage for us to more rapidly deploy and manage mission-critical development and test environments in a highly scalable and self-service manner."
Eucalyptus has also broadened its storage support through the introduction of two new adaptors:
JBOD Storage Adaptor - Overlays Elastic Block Store (EBS) functionality on top of raw block devices and JBODs, and provides full support of AWS EBS API operations.
EMC VNX SAN Storage Adaptor - Provides expanded SAN support for EMC VNX Series SANs for Elastic Block Store (EBS) storage, including high availability for the Eucalyptus Storage Controller, advanced VNX snapshot support, and multi-pathing support for greater redundancy.
"Customers worldwide, including NSN, Puma, Inter-Continental Hotels Group, and NASA, have turned to Eucalyptus based on the agility, elasticity, and scale that our software provides for highly demanding development and test and Web applications," said Marten Mickos, CEO of Eucalyptus. "Eucalyptus 3.2 delivers a highly reliable and robust private and hybrid cloud solution that empowers both enterprises and the open source community to confidently deploy applications and drive innovation in the cloud."
The new capabilities build upon Eucalyptus 3.1, which aligned the open source community and enterprises on the same platform to contribute, build, run and manage cloud development and deployments. Eucalyptus 3.2 will be available to customers in December, 2012. For more information, please visit http://www.eucalyptus.com or call 866-456-3822 (EUCA).

I have purchased 2 orders with Disc Nation and I have to say that each one was a very pleasant experience. The products you offer are top of the line and the selection of different styles, colors & weights of discs is wonderful. The online buying experience was an easy one that made me very excited to get my orders! I also had to call your customer service staff a few times, who were very up-beat and helpful. I will continue to order all of my Disc Golf supplies from Disc Nation, I just wanted to thank you for a great job in all areas. I do not live closer to Austin, or I would love to stop in to the store and meet some of the wonderful people behind this great company! Thanks again.

Stopped in on a quick visit through Austin to grab my new Grip EQ bag!!!
Cats working there were super chill and the disc selection is insane. They have some pretty sick t-shirts and other odds and ends, and a driving range out back!? I have been to pro shops all over the US but this was the first one where you could step out back and give a disc a huck to see how you dig it.
Awesome spot guys, keep it up.

Best foot forward in free shoes
Relevant offers
If new shoes were a curriculum subject, pupils at Glenview School, in Porirua, would have passed with flying colours.
Sitting up straight with their arms folded, the classroom of 5 and 6-year-olds intently studied the boxes placed in front of them.
With a nod from principal Gaylene Hill, they flung open the crisp white lids and began pulling on their brand new kicks.
"I got new shoes, I got new shoes," a group chanted yesterday, leaping around in delight.
"Yay, they fit me!" enthused Lyric Koia, 6, before taking off for a practice run.
"I like these shoes because they're new. They're cool," said classmate Viti Glensor, 5.
All 81 pupils at Glenview were presented with a pair of new shoes yesterday as part of an initiative led by North Porirua Baptist Church
Every winter, the decile 1 school had problems with kids arriving at school in completely inappropriate footwear, Ms Hill said.
Ripped shoes, no shoes, sandals on freezing cold days, and footwear too big or small was very common in the low-income school.
"In winter, our roll always goes down a little because of flus and colds, and if we can avoid that with decent shoes, that would be great."
North Porirua Baptist Church parishioner Simon Legg aims to provide new shoes for every pupil at nine schools in low-income areas of Wellington.
The shoes are provided at a discount by New Balance, with Mr Legg fundraising at his church and workplace, BNZ, for each pair. So far he has given 420 pairs to four schools, with $2800 worth of fundraising still to go for five more schools.
