Memorial Day, Bud Jacobs
Today, Memorial Day 2011, I'd like to honor my fellow veterans. I know that you feel as I do, that it is an honor to have served this-the greatest country on earth!

Joplin,NY Times Op-ED
Of course when I wrote of Topeka and tornado damage, I meant to write of Joplin, Mo, but had a senior moment. That does not lessen my pain when I look at the photos of the town.
The New York Times had an op-ed today that showed how some expensive treatments whose effectiveness is not fully substantiated by medical evidence is costing medicare billions. It is time to revisit payments for many of these high-cost, frequently performed procedures. Are my fellow physicians merely lining their own pockets, or can they submit verifiable evidence that the procedures they perform are really necessary. Remember your oath- primum non nocere ( first do no harm.)
I am also following closely the proposed Vermont law which will provide health insurance for all. I will be interested to see how it will be funded. Once again will New England lead the country?

Topeka, Lizzie Smith
I guess the world did end, after all for some of the folks in Topeka. The devastation is beyond belief.
I can not imagine Hartford or St Francis Hospital reduced to rubble as was St. John's.
I am planning to self-publish my novel, "Best Served Cold." To do this I must upload the completed novel to amazon and also their affiliate, createspace.com. Stay tuned! I am hard at work on a sequel to BSC. It is as yet untitled.
Lizzie Smith is a young woman who is one of the central figures in my crime novel. She has been sexually and physically abused by her stepfather, and is key to the blackmail scheme that he conceives.
