Fostering a healthy parks system
I would like to thank Alderman Scott Maynard and the entire board for their vote of confidence and trust. As one of your newest park commissioners, I hope to earn that same confidence and trust from you, the residents of Starkville. A healthy parks system has numerous benefits, including enhancing tourism, improving health outcomes, providing safe spaces to play, increasing play opportunities, as well as other psychological and social benefits. A healthy parks system should also be accountable, equitable, responsive and transparent. We deserve the best!
To continue to provide you with the best, I would greatly appreciate your feedback and comments. If you see me out, do not hesitate to speak to me - I always look forward to meeting new friends, but more importantly, I look forward to being a good steward of our resources so that our children and families can experience a healthy, viable parks system for decades to come.
LeKesha Perry
Park Commissioner, Ward 5, Starkville

Kentucky, Wisconsin headline 2014 NBA Draft Early Entry Winners
Apr 28, 2014, 11:25 AM EST
The NBA Draft's early entry deadline came and went at midnight on Sunday. Who were this year's five biggest winners?
MORE: The full list of players who have declared | Early Entry losers
1. Kentucky: It sounds weird to say this, I know, but the Kentucky lost two lottery picks, including a guy that will go top five in the NBA Draft, and they were clearly the biggest winner during the entire early entry circus. It started with Willie Cauley-Stein, who announced that he would be returning to school after undergoing surgery on his ankle. He was a potential lottery pick. Then Marcus Lee returned. Then Alex Poythress and Dakari Johnson came back. And, lastly, both of the Harrison twins returned to school.
Five were expected to declare off of Kentucky. Only two did. The key? The Harrisons, who will provide the Wildcats with perimeter depth and justify yet another preseason No. 1 ranking.
2. Wisconsin: The Badgers made a bit of a surprising run to the Final Four in 2014, and they did it as Frank 'The Tank' Kaminsky turned into an unstoppable force. His size and ability to score from anywhere on the court made him one of the breakout stars of the NCAA tournament, and while he flirted with the idea of putting his name into the draft, he will return. So will Sam Dekker, who is a potential first round pick at the small forward spot. As a result, the Badgers are going to be the Big Ten favorites and a top five team in 2014-2015.
3. Louisville: Outside of the Harrison twins announcing that they would be returning to school, the single most important early entry decision was Montrezl Harrell's announcement that he would be back for his junior season. A potential lottery pick, Harrell is going to be the only veteran — and only physical presence — on a big and athletic-albeit-extremely young front line. He makes the Cardinals a Final Four contender. Without him, they're a borderline top 25 team.
4. Arizona: Aaron Gordon was never spending more than one season on campus. Nick Johnson left and that void will hurt although it wasn't all that much of a surprise that he went pro. The good news? Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski all will be back on campus next season, and as a result Sean Miller will once again have a top five team and the Pac-12 favorite at his disposal.
5. North Carolina: The Tar Heels lost James Michael McAdoo to the NBA, but they also kept him for two years longer than just about anyone expected. They came out ahead there. The bigger news is that not only did Marcus Paige return for his junior season, but Brice Johnson did as well. With the recruiting class that Roy Williams brings in this season, don't be surprised to see the Tar Heels give Louisville and Duke a run for their money at the top of the ACC next season.
Three more winners
- Utah: Delon Wright's decision to return to Utah for his senior season will give him a shot at being an all-american in 2014-2015 and will allow the Utes to be a top four team in the Pac-12.
- Oregon: Joseph Young flirted with leaving for the NBA, but ultimately he returned. He may end up leading the Pac-12 is scoring this season.
- West Virginia: Juwan Staten was a hidden gem at the point guard spot this past season thanks to the play of Marcus Smart and DeAndre Kane. He'll be an all-Big 12 first team player entering next season.

The Dreamcatcher Part 8 (TG Story) I froze, I didn't move at all. A boy was kissing me and I wasn't jumping away in revolt, I wasn't punching him, in fact I was kind of liking it. He pulled away, we were both completely red in the face. The air was heavy and silence wore on us. "Sorry... I didn't know if that was the right time but you're just too pretty." He said. My heart was in my throat and my stomach was all butterflies. This was just too much. "Don't be..." I said finally. We both started to grin slightly. "So, um..." he said as he shifted on the bed closer to me, "do you want to do it again?" I looked into his eyes and gave him a slight nod. He leaned in and so did I. There it was, the moment of no return. I was willingly making out with a boy on his bed. He was a bad kisser, but I didn't care. I was completely swept away with emotions and hormones. We slowly pulled away from each other and looked deep into each other's eyes. Then he kind of awkwardly winked at me, stood up and said, "You're
The Awakening Chapter Five "So this is me?" Chrissy said as she stared at herself in the mirror. She had been given a change of clothes from Dr. Troy and was now in her room's bathroom to get out of her hospital robe. Even without makeup she was beautiful, long silky black hair, gorgeous blue eyes, cute nose and flush lips; she was absolutely astonishing. She stood there in awe of her own body, but she noticed that she wasn't attracted to it. "Chris would've been drooling by now," she said with a soft chuckle, "I guess that kind of confirms it." She slowly slipped the gown off, not daring to look at her reflection. It wasn't that she was scared, but that she was still uneasy about looking at a body she didn't remember having. As the gown fell to the floor she immediately picked up the undergarments and slid them up her legs. Then came the bra, which was a bit of a different story. Now she had to actually touch herself, but not in some groping fashion like she did earlier. This w
Christina Hendricks TGJon was hunched over on his couch depressed. Not much had been going right, in fact, nothing had gone right. First his dog ran away, which he never much like, but he missed his company nonetheless. Then his wife left him out of nowhere. She claims there wasn't another man involved, but Jon knows better. Then, to top it all off, when he went into work the next day he got fired because he was late due to his wife leaving him. So Jon, with nothing going right, sat on his couch just thinking about where he took the wrong turn on his life's path. He decided to try and get his mind off the whole situation. "MAD MEN MARATHON! CATCH UP WITH THE WHOLE SERIES IN ONE SITTING!" the TV boomed. "Well I guess now's a better time than ever to get into it…" he trailed off.Jon watched the show, hours and hours passed. At first he wasn't really watching it, just sort of background noise, but as time passed he got more and more involved. It was late
The Awakening Chapter FourChrissy awoke again, this time not to be greeted by her parents though. Dr. Troy was there though, waiting by the bed. "You really put on a show back there didn't you?" Dr. Troy asked in a kind manor. "What did you do to me!?" Chrissy said filled with rage, but unable to move much due to the drug's effects. "Well, we kept you here while you were in a coma after your accident. You really are a tough girl to come out with such minor injuries, your beetle not so much though," Dr. Troy chuckled. "I'M NOT A GIRL, I'M A BOY AND I DON'T HAVE SOME STUPID BEETLE, I HAVE A MUSTANG," Chrissy yelled at Dr. Troy. "I'm afraid you've had an extensive coma dream. In other words, you've lived an entire life in your head. I'm assuming hat all your memories and thoughts are of you being a boy and that you think that that's your real life." Dr. Troy explained calmly. "I… but
Ariel TG+TFThe wind was cool and fast at the shore. Zack was on vacation and walking along a beach one afternoon. It was a perfect afternoon for a walk, the sun was setting and the tide was high. Zack bounded with each step, dropping all of his force onto the wet beach sand. It's was he liked to do, it wasn't a brisk walk for exercise, he was walking to have a good time. The ocean seemed to sing to him, every time a wave crashed up it soothed him further. Zack needed, no deserved this vacation for all the hours he had been putting in. "I've got to do this more often," he thought to himself. Just as he thought this though, an evil underwater witch caught sight of Zack alone on the beach. She was a crude, lonely witch in need of some excitement. She decided Zack would be her item of torment for now. With this decision she cast a spell on poor Zack.Zack continued to walk the beach; unaware of his body's changes once they began. His thighs began to shrink, and los
The Awakening Chapter Three"She…" it echoed in Chris' head. "I'm not a she." "She has had massive trauma though and will most likely be in a state of shock." He heard the doctor say. "It's only going to be temporary hopefully though, it really depends on her will and acceptance of her life." "Well she has been in a coma for a year, that makes sense I guess." His father replied. "She… massive trauma… year coma!" Chris thought, then jumped up from his bed. He ripped out the needles in his body and in a blind frenzy jumped off his bed. His parents looked at him with a mouths ajar as they saw their child erupt from a year long slumber in such a way. Chris ripped at he bandaged on his head. "What are you guys talking about, who is this she?!" Chris yelled, not yet aware of his voice being different. "Honey, baby, are…" his mother began to cry, "are you okay?!" She r
Aly Michalka TGThe day was perfect, the sun was out, the weather was just warm enough for a great day at a lake, and the breeze was great. All the guys were centered on the girls and all the girls were just having fun. Mitch was just sitting under a tree in the shade, picking at grass while his friends went hopping into the lake. Mitch was a bit of a wallflower compared to his group of friends. He like relaxing in silence while they ran about and hopped into the late. He kind of wished he was more like them, more carefree. "I wish I could just forget about all my anxieties and nervousness and just run and hop into the lake with them. With that wish Mitch started to change. His body hair started to fall out. He looked in wonder as his hands shrank to a petite size and became dainty and feminized, and his arms slenderized while his shoulders cracked inwards and his whole body began to shrink as his chest started to develop two beautiful breasts. Then his stomach hardened into a sexy core while hi
The Dreamcatcher Part 7 (TG Story)I wake up to my mother and sister hovering over me. "Finally the lovebird is awake." My sister said with a wide grin. "I… I uh… I don't know what happened," I muttered as I rubbed my head. "Go on out honey and help move, I'll take care of your little sister." Said my mom. After my sister had left my mother and I talked about what had happened. "I just don't know, he was so cute and then I…" I said. "Cute?! You think the boy is cute?" My eyes shot open, what had I just said?! I shook my head. "It's okay honey, I've been noticing these things, you're acting like a girl more and more. You like cute clothes, you were a natural at putting on makeup, and now you even like boys. It's clear our entire reality has changed and not just your appearance." My mother divulged to me. I just sat and thought to myself, "Mom, could you leave me alone for a little w
Chloe Grace Moretz TG"Why don't you mock me more?!" Mitch said aloud as he read news about Chloë Moretz. She was everything Mitch wanted to be. She was young, super attractive, had a career, was rich, and had a solid family that supported eachother. Mitch was barely eking by moneywise. He had already missed his teens, as he was in his 20's now. He wasn't ugly by any means, but Chloë was gorgeous. Finally, his family, they weren't doing too good. His parents were distant not only from him, but also to each other. There was very little conversation between any of them. He just wished he could have her life. With that wish Mitch's world would change just as he dreamed it. He closed his computer for the night and decided to get a good nights rest so he could get to work tomorrow on time.Once Mitch dozed off, fantasizing about how great his life could be, the changes began. His whole body shrank, his hands and feet the most. His arms and legs smoothed out whi
The Dragon Slave of The Basinite Fjords The very air rippled as the leathery whip came whistling down along Shara's exposed midsection. With a cringing thwack the barbed torture tool lashed her belly again and again. Blood sprayed and sapphire scales were rent violently from her flesh, falling onto the hard stone floor in a collective pile. Shara growled away the seething pain that gutted her away but stubbornly refused to whimper. A whimper expressed defeat and in the sadistic eyes of her tormentors, defeat was what they strove to implant within her.A rasping voice dragged Shara away from the nightmare of the whip and into a world full of misery. "That's enough. I wish to speak with it."Shara's body hurt all over and her head swam with nausea as she turned her neck to see a small, obsidian colored creature approach her. The creature bore a disturbing visage and obsidian ornate armor as black as his skin. He tugged his beard a long while, studying the fruits of his work that lay in a pathetic heap be
Life changesSo here we are again. Just another casual explanation of how life has been recently. Well uh.. life has been life and all. You know how it is, I guess. My life has a tendency to be average. It's not like I'm the protagonist of some fantastical story or anything. I used to be able to say things like that. Mere months ago I could say that. But not anymore.You know that night that I transformed somehow.. Or at least.. how I told you I transformed somehow? Well. It happened again. It was just as much a surprise this time as it was last. I don't seem to have any control over these transformations as far as I know? All that I've maybe gathered is that it tends to happen around times when I log onto DeviantArt to check my notifications for new TG stories to read. Or maybe it's triggered by strong emotions.

The Sword of Destiny: Lyndis TGCody was at a local shop that sold many blades. He was a big collector of swords, they were just his favorite kind of weapon. The skill that required it, and how fancy you could be with one was a big factor that he held in collecting them. He had a usual store he would go to, checking in every week. This week was special though, Cody was told they had received a legendary sword. He arrived at the shop and greeted the shopkeeper, who went by Ike. "Hey, so what's this legendary blade you keep telling me about?" Cody asked. "Come with me." Ike said as the two went in the backroom of the store. There was a katana sitting atop of a stand. "But wait, this blade is different." Ike said as he called a random shopper back with them. "Can you try and pick this up for me?" Ike asked the man, who could not nudge it. "Thank you." Ike said, scurrying the man away. "I can't even pick it up." Ike said, demonstrating, trying with all his might to pick it up. "So this
The Dreamcatcher Part 6 (TG Story)"Sis???" I thought to myself, "If I'm her sister, then that must be my brother." "If she's calling me sister, then she must not remember the change." I said to my mother as we both stepped out of the car. My sister walked up and gave me a hug, she was taller than me, but by very little. She was gorgeous too, maybe even more so than myself. She pulled away and looked at me right in the eyes, "It's been way too long little sis, really glad to see you!" then she kissed me on the cheek, "love you." I tried my hardest to look happy, but I was still really confused inside. Then again I did feel this small bit of happiness growing deep down inside myself, filling me with warmness. It was a new relationship I'm in now, the one between sisters instead of brothers. She walked over to my mother and gave her a hug as well.

Willie Nelson Arrested for Pot Possession
Hudspeth County Sheriff Arvin West told KVIA that Nelson was traveling in his tour bus from California to Austin when he was stopped by Border Patrol agents Friday morning around 9am. An officer smelled pot when a door was opened and decided to search the bus, the Associated Press reports. Nelson was one of three people arrested.
Nelson was booked at the Hudspeth County jail on a $2,500 bond--which the singer quickly posted. He's since been released.
Nelson's rep, Elaine Schock, declined to comment.
This isn't the 10-time Grammy winner's first run-in with the law. In 2006, Louisiana authorities found a pound-and-a-half of marijuana and mushrooms on his tour bus. He was charged with a misdemeanor.

Violence is the great disruptor, the great destroyer of people, nations, and hope.
Some places on earth, say Somalia, are simply off-limits to outsiders and practically uninhabitable to those having to live there. Others, say Democratic Congo or Iraq, are perilous enough to defy rational investment. Others, say Syria or Ukraine or perhaps Egypt, are being disrupted enough by violence to make investors and certainly visitors back away.
The spectrum continues; through a wide variety of developing nations, then through the "safe" developed world. Although the largest of the developed nations, the United States, certainly has its own serious issues with violence, bad news from developing nations such as Kenya and the Philippines, as magnified by television and reverberated through the Web's echo chamber, often make things seem worse than they are.
Unlikely, or Inevitable?
Getting people to consider all options is a prime drive of our research at the Tau Institute, which has data and rankings on the ICT infrastructures and dynamics of 102 nations. The research ties into my continual study of the IoT as part of my duties as Conference Chair of @CloudExpo & @ThingsExpo, coming up again Nov 4-6 in Santa Clara.
But it can be difficult to get companies and individuals seeking new markets, sources, locations, and investments to consider more "dangerous" places.
How stunned was I, then, a few months ago when I was discussing with Google VP of Infrastructure Eric Brewer the presence of a company Project Link center center in Kampala, Uganda. This nation comes up in our research as the most dynamic of African nations-not the most developed, certainly, but the one that has the potential to change for the better the most quickly.
How prescient of Google to see this as well. How inevitable great technological strides may be for all the nations of the world.
A continent away, I've found serious ICT development activity in Ukraine. If things continue the way they've been going, the country will likely fall steeply in our rankings. But with our current rankings, Ukraine is among the most dynamic countries in the world, and certainly far more dynamic than its bellicose neighbor Russia. (Another country in this region that does very well is Georgia. Take note, Vlad.)
In Asia, Thailand continues to do relatively well, despite its ongoing spasms of violence, and the Philippines is quite dynamic, the occasional disturbing headline be damned.
In Latin America, Honduras was among the more dynamic countries in 2012, but has been falling off. Mexico has been a steady underperformer, although I think a deep analysis of the data will show longstanding structural problems more than violence as a cause for its mediocre performance.
The United States steadily underperforms as well, perhaps partly skewed by its militaristic nature, while peaceful Canada, with low violence but a lot of political ennui, is hanging tough as a global leader overall.
We haven't built a measurement of violence into our algorithms. Statistics can truly be misleading in this area, especially in an era of random horrific events sometimes occurring in the safest of countries. We're sure anyone looking for global locations has already factored their tolerance for violence into their calculations.
We also believe that the effect of violence on a society's growth and its investment potential shows up in the factors that we do measure. A nation's existing and growing ICT infrastructure will suffer if ugly violence is impinging significantly on it.
On the Wane, Not Gone
Harvard Professor Steven Pinker is the best-known proponent of the idea that violence is on the wane, pointing out in The Better Angels of our Nature and other works that day-to-day violence has declined stupendously over the last several hundred years. Technological progress is one of the reasons, he writes, and in my opinion he underrates this aspect of it.
Yet violence continues to plague mankind in all corners of the world. Lowered perhaps from olden dayes, but still a carbuncle on societal growth and the potential for a peaceable world.
So how can the IoT lower violence and change perceptions? The key is turning massive data capture into actionable information and wisdom in a transparent way. When everyone can see what's going on, civil behavior increases and violence declines.
More on this thought in a later article. Please send me your thoughts.

Darnell Mayberry: Thunder's late first round picks hurt most by NBA lockout
The Oklahoman's Oklahoma City Thunder beat writer Darnell Mayberry answered questions from readers in today's Power Lunch chat. Read the entire chat recap here. Participate in our Power Lunch chats Monday-Friday at 11 a.m. at NewsOK.com/sports
On which players are hurt most by the NBA lockout: The late first round picks. Those are the guys who don't have millions of millions of dollars. Most people think of all NBA players as filthy rich but that's not the case. Guys like Ibaka, Mullens and Maynor who haven't been in the league long and aren't making much more than $1.5 million annually might not have truckloads of money to rely on. It's guys like that who need checks. On rookie center Cole Aldrich's ceiling: Tough to say at this point. He's played in less than 20 games as a pro. I think he's going to be a good defensive player. But I'd like to see some sort of body of work before I go making crazy predictions. The name Joel Przybilla comes to mind, though. On what the Thunder needs to do to improve: The late-game offense needs to tweaked. The droughts that the Thunder had will get you bounced from the postseason. If they can find a way to get buckets when it matters most and not allow teams to go on 20-5 runs in the fourth quarter, they'll be much better off. On Serge Ibaka becoming nationalized in Spain: Because it's a much better idea than trying to play internationally for Congo. But seriously, Serge loves Spain. He started his professional career there. He lives there in the offseason. And the national team is one of the best in the world. Chat Recap: Darnell Mayberry

How would we get from Seatac Airport to the Pier where the cruise ships sail from. How much would it be in a taxi or is there a light rail that would take us near, thank you.
Seatac to Pier
7 Replies | Jump to last reply |
Report Abuse
Cruise ships depart from Bell Street Pier and Smith Cove Pier (which is farther away from down town). If you take light rail to down town, you will have to take a taxi to the pier unless you are traveling without luggage or are departing from Bell Street and are up for a lot of awkward schlepping.
The fare from SeaTac to Bell Street Pier is about $45 and to Smith Cove Pier it is about $65: http://www.worldtaximeter.com/seattle/seatac+airport/seattle+bell+street+pier
Report Abuse
Light Rail is a great new system but isn't really convenient for getting to a cruiseship. I'd just take a taxi directly from the airport. Yellow Cabs has the SeaTac contract these days, you can call them at 206-622-6500 for their price.
There is also Shuttle Express, but they charge per person, so if you are 2+ together might as well do a taxi.
Report Abuse
To narrow things down a little, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, and Princess use Pier 91...the rest (notably Norwegian Cruise Lines) use Pier 66.
Report Abuse
Good info from Bob, but regardless, the light rail isn't convenient to any place along the waterfront. You'd still need to get a taxi from the Westlake Station where you'd end up downtown coming in from SeaTac.
Report Abuse
Thank you everyone for your help. I think we'll just take a taxi all the way.
Report Abuse
Not disagreeing, suze, just pointing out that "the pier where the cruise ships sail from" doesn't help with answers.

Ya know I love ya, Bob, just sayin' it doesn't matter if they are going from SeaTac to Pier 66 or Pier 91, still taxi's the answer

MOSCOW — Russian news agencies say the country's space agency is delaying both the return of astronauts from the International Space Station and the launch of the next mission to the orbiting laboratory.
The announcements came after last week's failure of the launch of an unmanned supply ship to the space station. The craft Soyuz rocket sending it into space failed after launch and crashed and exploded in a forested area of Siberia.
The news agencies RIA Novosti, ITAR-Tass and Interfax on Monday quoted the head of Roscosmos's manned space operations, Alexei Krasnov, as saying the return of three astronauts from the ISS was being put off from Sept. 8 to about the Sept. 16. He also said the next launch to the space station, scheduled for Sept. 22, would be delayed until the end of October or early November.
Roscosmos spokesman Igor Zatulin said he could not immediately confirm the reports.
Since the end of the U.S. space shuttle program, Russia's Soyuz spacecraft have been the only vehicle to get crew to or from the space station.
There are six crew members aboard the space station. American Ronald Garan Jr. and Russians Andrey Borisenko and Alexander Samokutyaev who have been in orbit since April, were to return to Earth on Sept. 8.
The comments reported by the Russian agencies did not specify why the return mission was being put off. But they quoted Krasnov as saying the next launch would be delayed until one or two unmanned firings could be conducted of rockets of the type used to launch the Soyuz space capsule.
Russians Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin and American Daniel Berbank are the crew for the next launch.
The failure of the Progress cargo ship launch was the fourth Russian spacecraft lost in the past nine months.
In December, a rocket and its payload of three communications satellites fell into the Pacific Ocean after failing to reach orbit. A military satellite was lost in February, and in mid-August the Express-AM4, described by officials as Russia's most powerful telecommunications satellite, was lost.

Britain could be the first country in the world to vaccinate every baby against meningitis B

Friday 21 March 2014
Every baby in Britain could be protected against meningitis B by the end of the summer, the company behind a new vaccine have said, after the Government announced the UK would become the first country in the world to provide universal vaccine coverage against the killer disease.
As revealed exclusively in The Independent, the Department of Health has recommended that the vaccine Bexsero should be added to the childhood vaccination schedule, after health advisors overturned previous guidance which had claimed it would not be cost-effective.
The Government will now enter into negotiations with Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis, which developed and manufactures the vaccine, over the cost of the roll-out to the NHS, with a view to immunising all infants at two months of age.
Novartis said that it was "committed" to working with health officials to ensure that the government's recommendations were implemented "as early as summer 2014".
Experts said that the decision of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), meant that the UK was once again leading the world on disease prevention.
Steve Dayman, the founder of the charity Meningitis Now, who lost his baby son to meningitis in 1982, said the decision was "the most monumental announcement in the fight against the disease" in 31 years of campaigning.
The Meningitis Research Foundation chief executive Christopher Head said he was delighted that children would be protected against a "most feared and deadly disease".
"It's a wonderful outcome which will save lives and spare countless families the trauma of seeing a loved one seriously disabled by the devastating after effects of MenB," he said.
Doctors also welcomed the decision. Dr Maureen Baker, chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners, said that worried GPs and patients would "breathe a huge sigh of relief" that the vaccine, which was licensed more than a year ago, would now be universally available.
The Department of Health yesterday insisted that its decision was "not a U-turn". The JCVI's interim advice, given in July, was that meningitis was such a rare disease that the benefits of vaccination would not justify the cost of providing the jab to every infant in the UK. The committee said at the time that it "lacked important evidence" on how well the vaccine would protect children.
Novartis, meningitis charities and the medical community has since stepped forward to provide further evidence of the vaccine's effectiveness. However, the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is understood to have also come under mounting political pressure to ensure the vaccine was introduced, amid concerns that the Conservatives' record on the NHS could be damaged if only those parents who could afford to pay for the vaccine privately were able to protect their children.
David Cameron is said to have personally warned Mr Hunt over the potential political damage that rejecting the vaccine could cause.
The vaccine costs £75 per dose, but the average cost to fully protect children aged six months to two years is understood to be closer to £200. The vaccine has been available privately for several months and the vast majority of sales have been in some of the wealthiest parts of the country.
The Government's deputy chief medical officer Professor John Watson said yesterday that officials would "work closely with Novartis in the coming months" adding that, if negotiations were successful, the Government would also work with health authorities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to ensure a national rollout.
