FATHER Scottie Kern, who lost his 11-month-old son to meningitis, has welcomed news that a life-saving vaccine could finally be introduced free to all babies on the NHS.
Scottie's son Cailan died within 24 hours of being diagnosed with pneumococcal meningitis and septicaemia in 2009.
In 2011, the 42-year-old embarked on a campaign to lobby the Government into approving a new jab against meningitis in the childhood immunisation schedule.
Nearly three years on, Bexsero is poised to be included in the immunisations if it can be secured at price to make it cost-effective for the NHS.
In a sad twist of fate, the father-of-three from Oakhurst, had spent five years working on the clinical trials for an inoculation that could have saved his son's life back in 2009. But the jab was only made available a year later.
Scottie said: "It is a pretty remarkable day for me."
"I am contracted by the company that makes the vaccine and the irony is unbelievable for me.
"It has taken a long time and I think the challenge has been trying to convince people, with the limited funds that we have in the NHS, to cover the cost of vaccines for diseases like this.
"The vaccine will save many lives. It means that fewer parents will go through what my wife and I went through when we lost Cailan.
"He had a different strain of meningitis but the impact is similar and he died within a day or so.
"As part of my job at the time I was working on a vaccine that would have saved his life but it came out a year after. That's why it is so important for vaccines to come out.
"And the vaccine is going to have not just an impact here but across other nations. It's just perfect news."
The announcement comes after the independent Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation which advises the Government on vaccinations, twice delayed a decision last year due to lack of evidence of cost-effectiveness.
The Department Of Health will now enter into negotiations with vaccine company Novartis to agree a price, before introducing it on the NHS.
Meningitis Now, which lobbied for the vaccine to be made available in the UK, said it hoped the negotiations would be swift.
Chief executive Sue Davie said: "We are thrilled the JCVI listened to our arguments, including the disease's impact on the whole family, survivors' quality of life and the true burden of after-effects.
"We won't celebrate until the first youngster receives the vaccine for free and we urge the Department Of Health and the vaccine company to conclude negotiations quickly – time lost is lives lost.
"While this is a fantastic leap forward, there is still much work to do because there still aren't vaccines for all forms of meningitis."

CROWDS turned out in their hundreds at Minehead harbour last Sunday (March 30) to see the maiden voyage of the newlybuilt Celtic Currach boat.
The Longboat, which has been named 'Mynydd', was the first of its kind to be built in the town for more than 1,000 years.
Made in just six days, it was blessed by the Rev Penny Dobbin and made four outings around the bay, crewed by teams of people who had participated in the project.
Two experts from Meitheal Mara, a boat building organisation from Cork, oversaw the project.
Build leader Padraig O Duinnin, of Meitheal Mara, said of the boat: "She is very steady and steers well.
"When the sail was up and the breeze was in the right direction Wales seemed very close."
The boat was built using all locally-sourced materials and services by volunteers from the community, the YMCA Somerset Coast, JobCentre Plus and Prospects Services.
George Henly, a volunteer from the YMCA, said: "At the beginning of the week I thought it would be impossible to build a boat in only six days, but Padraig and Dave were great – they taught us new skills and we pulled together as a team.
"It was an awesome sense of achievement to build the Currach – I shall never forget it.
"We even fitted in a day's water safety and sailing course on Lake Wimbleball so we felt prepared.
"Rowing the Currach across Minehead Bay was such a buzz – it's a fast boat and we all felt proud to have been part of it."
Minehead historians and authors John and Ann Gilman launched the 'Saints from the Sea' project to build a Currach, and Stephen Hooper, Minehead Development Trust vision manager, helped the dream come true.
He said: "This has really helped put Minehead on the map, and we've had media interest from all around the UK and Ireland.
"We're looking forward to collaborating with author John Gilman, whose book Crossways inspired the Currach build.
"The next stage is to start planning and preparing to recreate the sea voyage of St Carantoc from South Wales to West Somerset."

Admission to the childhood education program is highly selective. Applicants are expected to have a strong general education background in the liberal arts and sciences and a demonstrated interest in and commitment to working with diverse student populations in educational settings.
Applicants must have earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) from an accredited college or university, with the completion of general liberal arts and sciences curriculum and a major in an academic discipline. Admission to the childhood education program -- and teaching certification in New York -- also requires the successful completion, or the equivalent, of at least one semester of college-level study in a language other than English.
The M.S. program in childhood education has established two prerequisite courses in education:
These prerequisite courses are offered at Ithaca College multiple times each year. Ithaca College undergraduates who plan to apply to the childhood education program are encouraged to take these courses prior to graduation. Applicants from other accredited institutions can submit evidence of course-equivalent syllabi and grades of B or better in these courses, as well as satisfactory completion of 50 hours of course-connected, school-based field experiences. Childhood education applicants who have not completed these prerequisites may be admitted provisionally with the expectation that these prerequisites be met according to stipulations established by the graduate chair.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to take -- prior to admission, for advising purposes -- the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test (LAST), one of the three examinations required for New York State teacher certification. For information about this exam, see
Teacher Certification Examinations
A total of 38 credits, including a full professional
semester of student teaching, is required.
A cumulative average of 3.00 or better must be maintained in order to graduate.
This program is designed for candidates seeking initial teaching certification in childhood education, grades 1-6.
Childhood Education Program Coursework (38 credits):
Teacher certification requirements (noncredit workshops):
Prior to graduation, all childhood education students must
have attended and participated in these three state-required
workshops, each of which is offered several times a year on
Ithaca College campus:
Professional Portfolio and Action Research Project
In lieu of a thesis requirement and/or a comprehensive exam, the childhood education program includes the graduation requirement that all students complete both a professional development electronic portfolio and an action research project. The professional portfolio provides evidence that the childhood education candidate has met College, state, and national standards for effective teaching, and its preparation begins during the first semester of the childhood education program. The action research project is also a yearlong project: the research proposal is developed in the summer and fall, data is collected and analyzed in the spring, and the research report is written and presented in the final summer semester of the program.
Professional Semester in Education
During the spring semester in the program, childhood education students complete two student teaching experiences, one in grades 1-3 and the other in grades 4-6. Student teaching is a full-time commitment requiring full days in public schools and additional hours spent in planning, assessment, after-school activities, and a weekly seminar. Childhood education students are not allowed to enroll in additional courses or participate in varsity sports, musical ensembles, or theater performances at the College during the professional semester.

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"I love my invitations! This was a simple yet elegant way for me to invite my guests to our wedding. Our picture on the invitation came out beautiful. I love how I was able to print on the front and back of the reception card, making it easy for both myself and my guests. Highly recommended for a simple, chic, and elegant girl!!"
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"My color theme for my wedding it a variation of purples and this invitation was just perfect for it. The quality is also great! Delivery was amazingly fast! I am very satisfied with my finished product and would definitely recommend them to anyone."
"Beautiful cards. I got them printed on the shimmer paper and put them into laser cut envelopes I got from another source. So elegant and clean. Staff is AMAZING. Very kind and attentive, everytime I called them, they were very helpful and patient. My invitations arrived 1 week before scheduled delivery. Fast service! For canadian customers, please remember you will be charged the current exchange rate and duties via UPS (a few little surprises I forgot about when paying)!"

Inflation Figures Show Impact Of Pacific Blue
Latest Inflation Figures Show Positive Impact Of
Pacific Blue For Kiwi Domestic Travellers
Friday 18 January 2007: Latest inflation figures showing a significant fall in the price of New Zealand domestic air travel have been welcomed by the country's newest domestic airline, Pacific Blue.
Consumer Price Index figures released yesterday show the price of domestic air travel fell in the last three months of 2007.
"Prices for domestic air transport made a downward contribution for the transport group, falling 4.6 percent this quarter," Statistics NZ said in a release.
Pacific Blue launched its new domestic routes between Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch on 12 November last year offering lead-in fares up to 30% cheaper than previously available.
Pacific Blue's General Manager Commercial, Adrian Hamilton-Manns, said the latest CPI figures underline the airline's aim of making domestic travel more affordable for New Zealanders.
"When we entered the domestic market we said that Kiwis had been paying too much for too long for domestic travel and that there was definitely room for new competition.
"Given the latest CPI figures, we're delighted to see the positive impact that our entry has had on the market."
Mr Hamilton-Manns said Pacific Blue was committed to low fares and was very happy with the support it was receiving from the travelling public.
"Kiwis are supporting us because we've made travel more affordable and provide a high-quality, fun service. We look forward to their ongoing support so that we can continue to keep the air fair on the current routes and expand our service into other regional centres."
Pacific Blue said latest domestic passenger numbers from Wellington Airport were also positive and showed that the airline's new local services were supporting overall growth in domestic travel and tourism.
The airport said this week that domestic passenger numbers for December 2007 had risen by more than 16%. Majority owner Infratil noted that the increase had not cannibalised the market from existing airlines.
"One of our goals in launching a domestic service was to get more New Zealanders flying more often and the figures from Wellington Airport are an example of how real competition can stimulate a market," Mr Hamilton-Manns said.
Pacific Blue operates a young, fuel-efficient fleet of 737-800 Next Generation aircraft and offers over 240 flights a week within New Zealand and to Australia, Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga and the Cook Islands.
About Pacific Blue, Polynesian Blue, and Virgin Blue Airlines
Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue, along with Australian domestic airline Virgin Blue, operate a fleet of 60 modern Boeing 737 and Embraer E-Jet aircraft flying to 22 Australian and eight international destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands.

Many land managers know firsthand the damage invasive species can do to natural resources, but no one knows exactly why these species are able to out compete native plants.
This is not just a Kentucky problem, as invasive species are common throughout the world. A long-held theory, developed by biologists, hypothesizes that invasive plants are more numerous in introduced sites compared to their native, or home, range, because an ecological change occurs during their invasion that gives them an advantage over native plants. This theory is known as the abundance assumption.
All breeding cattle 18 months of age and older that are offered for sale at Kentucky stockyards are required to be identified with the state veterinarian's office effective Feb. 14, State Veterinarian Robert C. Stout has announced.
I have learned to be discerning when it comes to catalog shopping. I steer clear of outrageous or cheap deals. I prefer the specialty catalog where expertise reigns providing us with both a good product and the information to grow it well.
Each year, the Farm Service Agency (FSA) is required by regulation to issue public notice on a variety of programs, policies and opportunities available at the county office.
Proper pond management is essential for establishing and maintaining a healthy environment for fish, whether it's in a backyard water garden or a three-acre production pond. An upcoming Kentucky Cooperative Extension aquaculture workshop, "Pond Management: Home-use and Recreational Aquaculture," will focus on information that will be useful for pond owners and landowners wishing to develop ponds.
Although we're in the midst of winter, it is never too soon to think about next growing season. This is particularly true if you want to grown onions.
Onions are a good crop for Kentucky farmers. Typically, in late winter it takes eight to 10 weeks to produce a reasonably sized transplant. If you want to plant in late March or the beginning of April, you should have seeded your transplants in late January.
If you have not already seeded, it's not too late for an onion crop this year. You can purchase transplants.
The Spencer County Farmers Market Committee will be holding a planning meeting on Feb.24 at 6 p.m.
All those who have previously sold or are interested in selling, are encouraged to attend.
Topics of discussion will include the previous selling season and planning for the 2011 season.
As part of this meeting, there will be a potluck supper. The meat and drinks are being provided. The committee asks attendees to please bring a side dish.
Call the Extension Office at 477-2217 if you are planning to attend.
Have you noticed a sticky substance on the floor beneath your ficus or philodendron? Are there little scabs on the under side of the leaves of your orchid? Maybe you have noticed that your plants just look a little lack luster. Well, we can blame some plant puniness on being a tropical houseplant indoors in Kentuckiana during the winter.
Soon you'll be receiving seed catalogs for the 2011 vegetable-growing season. While listening to the cold wind blow outside, what a comfort it is to think about spring and summer and planning your garden.

Topic: Help!
Hi everyone,
Just a quick summary, my mom was diagnosed with intrahepatic cc in december and finished 7.5 cycles of gem/cis in the first week of July. At that time she started to experience pain radiating from her back to her chest, shoulders etc... It would last for a few days in different places and then stop. For exaple the last few days she was fine and this morning she was complaining about a lot of pain on the left side of her abdomen. She did a scan in July and the doctor said her tumour shrunk a tiny bit which he considers stable...
Has anyone ever experienced this? Could this just be from excess chemo? Please help:(

So it's official: The Horrorist is endorsed by Propellerhead Software. I, as you know record under the name "The Horrorist" and today the box of goodies you see in the above photo arrived at my studio. I also managed to get one of the bands on my label Ionic Vision the same deal.
So how does one get such a good proposal? To be honest it's kinda like getting laid by a female… You stay nice, friendly and available and when they are in the mood it happens! When I was in college at Suny Purchase I spent my free time in the music department hanging out with John Selway, Scott Richmond (Satellite Records) and Jack Elliot. During that time, the early nineties, the rave scene was beginning to take over the NY area. John invited me to techno parties in Long Island where I met Frankie Bones, Adam X, Heather Heart, Dave Trance and many more. I'm not sure how it exactly happened but I ended up at the recording studio of a guy named James Bernard who had a techno act called Influx. Ah… bingo you say! James Bernard I know that name. Yep hold that thought…
Flash forward fifteen plus years, 75 singles, 3 albums, 3 studios, a move to Berlin, a pro-audio blog and some grey hair. A band on my label Things to Come Records called Ionic Vision was coming to perform in Germany. I met them at Club Maria and did a quick video interview with them to help promote their new single. During the interview they got all gushy about how great Propellerheads Reason is. I wholeheartedly agree Reason is the bees knees and the video went up on the internets. I mentioned to Andy de Decker (one of the band members) that I should send it over to Propellerheads and did just that.
I knew James Bernard worked at Propellerheads and from time to time I cracked a smile when I saw him demoing things on YouTube. I would say to myself, "There's that Influx guy. Dam he landed a cool job!". So I was pleased when I found out he was the one in charge of artist relations and more pleased when he was the one who emailed me back. Without me asking he offered the endorsement deals.
So what can we learn from this tale?
1. James Bernard kicks ass.
2. Propellerheads kicks ass.
3. Being nice to people and putting your work out there gets free stuff. (And laid by females)
This arrangement will be good for you too because I will be posting more Reason tutorials, videos and Refill reviews.
So far I can tell you the 15″ laptop bag is very nice. The area where you hold your laptop is well padded and smooth so you don't need to use one of those crappy inner sleeve things. It's made of "polyester ripstop" which like it's name: feels like it won't ever rip. It also has a rubber handle, zippered pockets, a mobile cell holder and key ring.

'"I told you I've had a wonderful life in hockey," Crozier said. "I've told them here four times that maybe I should quit and they ask me to keep working, if I want to. I talk about all those old hockey players that none of the young kids remember, but I also love to watch young players like Sidney Crosby, a nice hockey player, and that young man playing for the Oshawa Generals, John Tavares. It's so nice to know that those types of people are carrying the load now. It's nice to know that we have young guys like that, here now or coming up soon, who will be great hockey players for many years to come."'

After shaky start, Braves sail to ninth win in a row
Simmons amends for two errors by plating four to back Harang's gem
ATLANTA -- There was something rare about the two errors Andrelton Simmons committed during the ugly first inning that unfolded on Saturday afternoon at Turner Field. But as the next couple of hours unfolded, everything seemed to be business as usual for the red-hot Braves.
After surrendering three runs before they took their first swing, the Braves began chipping away at their early deficit and eventually cruised to a 10-4 win over the D-backs. Aaron Harang bounced back from the mistake-filled first inning and Simmons made amends as he keyed the decisive five-run fourth inning with a two-run double.
"We had the rough first inning, but nobody panicked," Harang said. "Our confidence is real high right now and everybody is feeling good about how we're swinging the bats and playing defense. We knew guys were comfortable and that we were going to stay right in it."
This celebratory conclusion proved to be quite familiar to the Braves, who have won nine straight and 11 of their past 12 games. They have a 1 1/2-game division lead over the Nationals, who have managed to lose ground while losing just four of their past 12 games.
Harang looked like he might be set for a short outing when he surrendered hits to three of the first four batters he faced. But the veteran right-hander bounced back from the three-run first and allowed just one more run while completing a season-high eight innings. He threw 30 of his 111 pitches in the first inning.
"Aaron was outstanding," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We got him behind the eight ball. That's the first time we had an inning like that in a long, long time."
It looked like this might be an afternoon to forget for Simmons when an errant throw to the plate and errant flip on an attempted double play turn left him with two errors in the first inning. This certainly was unfamiliar territory for the Gold Glove shortstop, who had committed two errors in just two of his previous 287 games. But at the end of the day, there was more reason to focus on the fact that he had also matched a career best by driving in four runs.
"I told him, 'If you stay around this game long enough, it won't be the last time you make two errors in one inning,'" Gonzalez said. "It just happens. But how you bounce back from those is what is important. I thought he bounced back terrifically. He made some great plays defensively and also swung the bat."
B.J. Upton fueled the Braves' comeback when he opened the bottom of the first inning with a triple that gave him a career-best 11-game hitting streak. Simmons followed with an RBI single that marked the start of the problems experienced by Mike Bolsinger, who allowed seven runs (five earned) and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings.
"The [RBIs] feel good, but I don't want to give up runs and make him throw more pitches," Simmons said. "We ended up winning anyways. So, it's good."
Exactly one week after making his Major League debut, Christian Bethancourt paced the Braves' offense by producing his first three-hit game. His fourth-inning single helped set the stage for Simmons, who drilled his go-ahead two-run double to the left-center-field gap. Freddie Freeman then followed with what stands as the latest of the three triples he has hit at Turner Field since last hitting a home run in front of the home crowd.
Justin Upton's opposite-field two-run shot in the sixth inning further damaged his former club and also accounted for the Braves' first home run in a span of 47 innings -- dating back to the second game of the June 28 doubleheader in Philadelphia.
"They got a couple runs early, but [Harang] kept them right there and he gave us a chance to come back in the game," Gonzalez said.
Harang might have only allowed one run in the first inning had Simmons not uncorked an errant throw that allowed Paul Goldschmidt to advance from second to third base on his RBI double in the first. Two batters later, Simmons made an errant scoop and flip to second base while attempting to turn a double play.
But the veteran Harang, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 13 of 18 starts, faced the minimum over the next three innings and was only further damaged when Ender Inciarte began the fifth with his first career home run.
"When you get a team that is aggressive and he doesn't have to throw the ball over the plate, you can get those kinds of outings out of him," Gonzalez said. "He was really efficient. That's what's nice about having a nice veteran on the mound. He didn't spook."
