ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON —The U.S. government’scovert program usingunmanned drones tostrike at terrorists insidePakistan is not likely tostop or change, despitenew criticism from aU.N. human rightsexpert.
U.S. officials insist theCIA program has been aneffective tool to take outinsurgents along theAfghanistan-Pakistanborder, particularly thosehidden beyond the reachof the military. Thestepped-up use of dronesover the past year hasshown no signs of slow-ing down and was credit-ed earlier this week withthe killing insidePakistan of al-Qaida’sthird in command.
The Obama adminis-tration does not acknowl-edge the secret program,but one senior U.S. offi-cial defended its useWednesday, saying acareful and rigorous tar-geting process is used toavoid civilian casualties.The official, who isfamiliar with the opera-tion, spoke on conditionof anonymity because theprogram is classified.
The program, whichofficials say has killedhundreds of insurgents indozens of strikes over thepast year, has been con-demned by critics whosay it may constitute ille-gal assassinations andviolate international law.They argue that intelli-gence officers conductingthe strikes could be at riskof prosecution for murderin foreign countries.
In a 29-page reportreleased Wednesday,Philip Alston, the inde-pendent U.N. investigatoron extrajudicial killings,called on countries to layout rules and safeguardsfor carrying out thestrikes, publish figures oncivilian casualties andprove they have attempt-ed to capture or incapaci-tate suspects withoutkilling them.
“Unlike a state’s armedforces, its intelligence
agents do not generallyoperate within a frame-work which placesappropriate emphasisupon ensuring compli-ance with internationalhumanitarian law, ren-dering violations morelikely and causing a high-er risk of prosecutionboth for war crimes andfor violations of the lawsof the state in which anykilling occurs,” wroteAlston, a New YorkUniversity professor.
The report to the U.N.Human Rights Councilputs unwanted scrutinyon the intelligence opera-tions of the UnitedStates, Israel and Russia,who Alston says are allcredibly reported to haveused drones to killalleged terrorists andinsurgents.
He said the dronestrikes by intelligenceagencies launched inAfghanistan, Pakistanand elsewhere are partic-ularly fraught because ofthe secrecy surroundingthem.
Other experts disagree.“Drone operations are
essential,” said BruceRiedel, a former CIAofficer and a senior fel-low at the BrookingsInstitution Saban Center.“The drones are part of amuch broader effort toput pressure on al-Qaidathrough the war inAfghanistan. They’re thecutting edge of the pres-sure, but they’re not theonly pressure.”
Earlier this week, al-Qaida leaders confirmedthat a drone strike inPakistan had killed theterror group’s No. 3 offi-cer and top commanderin Afghanistan, Mustafaal-Yazid.
U.S. authorities rou-
tinely refuse to talk open-ly or release data aboutthe program, but as criti-cism has heightened theyhave slowly begun torespond quietly to thecomplaints.
“Without discussing orconfirming any specificaction or program, thisagency’s operationsunfold within a frame-work of law and closegovernment oversight,”said CIA spokesmanGeorge Little. “Theaccountability’s real, andit would be wrong foranyone to suggest other-wise.”
Administration offi-cials have pointed to acarefully worded speechin March by StateDepartment legal adviserHarold Koh, who saidthat “U.S. targeting prac-tices, including lethaloperations conductedwith the use of unmannedaerial vehicles, complywith all applicable law,including the laws ofwar.” The Obama admin-istration, he said, is com-mitted to following thelaw in its operationsagainst terrorists.
The senior U.S. officialsaid Thursday that thedrones use precision tar-geting, and that civiliancasualties have beenoverstated.
In describing the deci-sion-making process, theofficial said the strikesare launched only when avetted target comes intoclear view, and that —much like the military —intelligence officers takeinto account the princi-ples of necessity, theneed for a carefullyweighed response andthe obligation to mini-mize innocent civiliancasualties.
The U.S. official citedPakistan, where he saidthere was no evidence toprove large numbers ofinnocent lives have beenlost due to drone strikes.
This view has beenchallenged by humanrights groups and inde-pendent observers, whosay remotely operateddrones risk ingraining avideo game mentalityabout war and can neverbe as accurate as eyewit-ness confirmation of tar-gets from the ground.
“The point is that inno-cent people have beenkilled, this has beenproved over and overagain,” said LouiseDoswald-Beck, a profes-sor of international law atthe Geneva GraduateInstitute in Switzerland.
“If you don’t haveenough personnel on theground, the chances ofyour having false infor-mation is actually quitehuge,” she told TheAssociated Press.
Among the most sensi-tive recommendations inAlston’s report is thatgovernments should dis-close “the measures inplace to provide prompt,thorough, effective, inde-pendent and publicinvestigations of allegedviolations of law.” Doingso would almost certain-ly blow open the lid on
all manner of secretcounterterror operations.
The report also warnsthat CIA personnel couldbe extradited to thosecountries where the tar-geted killing takes placeand wouldn’t have thesame immunity fromprosecution as regularsoldiers.
Alston claims morethan 40 countries nowhave drone technology,with several seeking toequip them with lethalweapons.

PENSACOLA, Fla. —The BP oil slick driftedperilously close to theFlorida Panhandle’sfamous sugar-whitebeaches Wednesday as arisky gambit to containthe leak by shearing offthe well pipe ran intotrouble a mile under thesea when the diamond-tipped saw became stuck.
The saw had slicedthrough about half of thepipe when it snagged,and it took BP 12 hoursto free it. The companysaid preparations werebeing made to resumecutting, but didn’t give atimetable on when itmight start.
The plan is to fit a capon the blown-out well atthe bottom of the Gulf ofMexico to capture mostof the spewing oil; thetwisted, broken pipemust be sliced first toallow a snug fit.
“I don’t think the issueis whether or not we canmake the second cut. It’sabout how fine we canmake it, how smooth wecan make it,” said CoastGuard Adm. Thad Allen,the government’s pointman for the crisis.
As the edge of the slick
drifted within sevenmiles of Pensacola’sbeaches, emergencyworkers rushed to linkthe last in a miles-longchain of booms designedto fend off the oil. Theywere stymied by thunder-storms and wind beforethe weather cleared in theafternoon.
Forecasters said the oilwould probably wash upby Friday, threatening adelicate network ofislands, bays and white-sand beaches that are ahaven for wildlife and amajor tourist destinationdubbed the RedneckRiviera.
“We are doing what wecan do, but we cannotchange what has hap-pened,” said John Dosh,emergency director forEscambia County, whichincludes Pensacola.
Since the biggest oilspill in U.S. historybegan to unfold April 20with an explosion thatkilled 11 workers aboardan offshore drilling rig,crude has fouled some125 miles of Louisianacoastline and washed upin Alabama andMississippi as well. Overthe past six weeks, thewell has leaked any-where from 21 million to45 million gallons by thegovernment’s estimate.
The latest attempt tocontrol the leak is consid-ered risky because slic-ing away a section of the20-inch-wide riser couldremove kinks in the pipeand temporarily increasethe flow of oil by asmuch as 20 percent. Thecap could be placed overthe spill as early asWednesday.
If the strategy fails —like every other attemptto control the leak 5,000feet underwater — thebest hope is probably arelief well, which is atleast two months fromcompletion.
As the oil drifted closerto Florida, beachgoers inPensacola waded into thegentle waves, cast fishinglines and sunbathed, evenas a two-man crew tookwater samples. One ofthe men said they werehired by BP to collectsamples to be analyzedfor tar and other pollu-tants.
A few feet away,Martha Feinstein, 65, ofMilton, Fla., ponderedthe fate of the beach shehas been visiting foryears. “You sit on theedge of your seat and youwonder where it’sgoing,” she said. “It’s thesaddest thing.”
Officials said the slicksighted offshore consist-
ed in part of “tar mats”about 500 feet by 2,000feet in size.
County officials set upthe booms to block oilfrom reaching inlandwaterways but planned toleave beaches unprotect-ed because they are toodifficult to defend againstthe action of the wavesand because they are eas-ier to clean up.
“It’s inevitable that wewill see it on the beach-es,” said Keith Wilkins,deputy chief of neighbor-hood and community ser-vices for EscambiaCounty.
Florida’s beaches playa crucial role in thestate’s tourism industry.At least 60 percent ofvacation spending in thestate during 2008 was inbeachfront cities.Worried that reports ofoil would scare touristsaway, state officials arepromoting interactiveWeb maps and Twitterfeeds to show travelers— particularly thosefrom overseas — howlarge the state is and howdistant their destinationsmay be from the spill.
In other developments:• Investors ran from
BP’s stock for a secondday, fearful of the poten-tial cleanup costs, law-suits, penalties and dam-
age to the company’s rep-utation.
• President BarackObama said it is time toroll back billions of dol-lars in tax breaks for oilcompanies and use themoney for clean energyresearch and develop-ment.
• A pair of Democraticsenators pressed BP todelay plans to pay share-holder dividends worth$10 billion or more. Theycalled it “unfathomable”that BP would pay out adividend before the totalcost of the cleanup isknown. BP had no com-ment.
• More fishing groundswere closed. More thanone-third of federalwaters in the Gulf arenow off-limits to fishing,along with hundreds ofsquare miles of statewaters.
“I’m going to be bank-rupt very soon,” saidfisherman Hong Le, whocame to the U.S. fromVietnam and rebuilt hishome and business afterHurricane Katrina in2005 wiped him out.“Everything is financed.How can I pay? No fish-ing, no welding. I weldon commercial fishingboats and they aren’tgoing out now, so noth-ing breaks.”
BP faces another setback; oil slick threatens Fla.
UN criticism not likely to stop CIA drone strikes
BrooklynBridge getting$500 millionmakeover
NEW YORK (AP) —The Brooklyn Bridge hasbeen through a lot in its127 years, and now theNew York icon needs afacelift.
The famous 1.1-milesuspension bridge is get-ting a $500 millionmakeover, a project thatincludes a completerepainting and the repairof elements that were partof its original construction.
Vice President Joe Bidenjoined Mayor MichaelBloomberg Wednesday tomark the beginning of therehab, which is set to becompleted in four years.
The federal economicrecovery act provided$30 million for the effort;the rest of the fundingcomes from the city andother federal sources.
Standing in front of anaccess ramp where hugeswaths of peeling paintexposed patches of rust-ed steel, Biden said themakeover was a “badlyneeded” upgrade for thebeloved bridge.
“This bridge is anemblem of what thisgreat country repre-sents,” he said.
The bridge, with its twoneo-Gothic towers andelegant steel cables, is oneof New York City’s mostrevered pieces of architec-ture. Designed by engineerJohn Augustus Roebling,it opened May 24, 1883,after 13 years of buildingat a cost of $15 million.
The East River span —the subject of severalbooks, a Ken Burns docu-mentary and countlesssongs — helped spur thegrowth of the city’s outerboroughs. It also hasplayed an important rolein major events through-out city history, includingon Sept. 11, 2001, when aflood of people fled lowerManhattan by walkingacross the bridge.
The structure has beenspruced up many timesover the years, but notrecently.
“It is the first majorwork on the bridge in 10years,” Bloomberg said.
The landmark, tra-versed by 120,000 carsand thousands of pedes-trians and cyclists eachday, was last painted in1991. The repainting isexpected to take theentire four years.
The existing coat mustfirst be blasted off. Tominimize air qualityissues, the blasting andrepainting will be done inenclosed units that travelalong the structure, abovetraffic, and equipmentplaced on barges anchoredto the bridge above.
The new coat will be inthe same sandy-coloredhue seen on the bridgenow, a shade approved bythe city LandmarksPreservation Commissionand called “BrooklynBridge tan.”
The other major updatewill be to the roadwaysthat approach the bridge inManhattan and Brooklyn.Ramps will be expandedfrom one to two lanes.
The city said slabs ofpavement will beinstalled in segments, andthe steel decks on theapproach ramps will alsobe removed in sectionsand replaced panel bypanel with precast con-crete-filled steel, toreduce noise from drillingand jackhammers.
Rusted railings in someareas of the approachramps — some that werepart of the original bridgeconstruction — will berefurbished and reinstalled.

Dear Dr. Brothers:So much has changedsince I was a kid. Myhusband and I are in ourearly 30s, not overlystrict, but with good val-ues. Our 8-year-olddaughter wants to have aslumber party and invitegirls and boys! This wasunheard of in my day,which wasn’t all thatlong ago. We are leaningagainst it, but we don’twant to invent some-thing evil where noneexists. Is there a way tocompromise that wouldbe responsible yet get usoff the hook? — C.K.
Dear C.K.: It seemsyour daughter hasalready passed — or has-n’t yet encountered (andmaybe never will) — thestage in which she feelsall boys are “icky” andwants nothing to do withthem. But that doesn’tmean she should havethem over for a slumberparty, no matter howmany other kids aredoing it — and yes, I’msure there will be somewhose parents think it iscute or harmless or what-ever. But you sound soworried already that Iwouldn’t want to encour-age you to take on thischallenge. After all, thereis no point in having aparty if the atmosphere is
tense or if there are somany rules that the kidswon’t enjoy themselves.
Explain to your daugh-ter that she can have amuch better time withjust her little girlfriends,and you’ll be giving her alesson in valuing herfemale friends — whichsome people simplynever learn. I don’t thinkanything “evil” wouldoccur or that you arewrong to think in thoseterms, but you do want toprotect your reputationtoday. Kids younger thanyours often enjoy playing“doctor,” and you surelydon’t want to be respon-sible for any such activi-ties on your watch. So,girls only — and a wordto the wise: Take a fewnaps the day of the party.You’ll need to be rested.Engage your daughter incooking up some ideas
for the evening, andassume she and herfriends will have a blast— even without the inno-cent young men.
• • •Dear Dr. Brothers: I
have always been a quietperson who enjoys beingalone. I like to read anddraw, and now I amenjoying raising a sweetbaby girl. My husbandhas a similar tempera-ment, and I don’t doubtthat our child will followin our footsteps. But Ifind I am getting a lot ofpressure from othermothers in the area tohave baby groups andplaydates and mother’smornings out, that kindof thing. Will my babysuffer if I turn downthese opportunities to usesocial skills? — J.S.
Dear J.S.: Your babywill not suffer, as long asshe has exposure to allthe enriching experiencesthat all of us need in orderto become well-roundedand functioning humanbeings. But I don’t thinkthat because you are a bitwary of all this group-mommy stuff that youneed to decide to cut yourchild off from a richersocial life than she wouldhave alone at home withyou. I understand thatyou are a quiet loner, and
such activities are notyour cup of tea. But youmight actually enjoymeeting and exchangingviews and ideas withother new parents, as wellas having the pleasures ofwatching your child growand learn, and interactwith little friends.
There really is nogoing back now ... yourdaughter is going to be asocial being, and you willbe interacting with otherparents, caregivers andteachers for the forsee-able future. Maybe youwould be more comfort-able if you just pickedone mother and childright now to do thingswith. You probably willfind that a lot less over-whelming than the ideaof a whole group ofmoms and babies. I knowyou will want to try to dowhat is best for yourchild, and perhaps youalso are open to this peri-od of your life as one thatwill bring about changesto the way you see your-self and your role. Try tocultivate an interest inothers, and you probablywill feel less like a loner.And save the books for afew minutes before bed-time. You’ve got a lot ofliving to do.

BY ELIZABETH LEE VLIET, MD
The national spotlight is onArizona for doing what theFederal government and previousGovernor Napolitano refused todo: rein in an invasion of illegalaliens bankrupting our state(Arizona). At an August 2009healthcare Town Hall in Phoenix,legislators said that more thanhalf of Arizona’s 4 billion dollarbudget deficit was the result ofpaying for three areas of servicesto illegal immigrants: education,healthcare, and incarceration.
What does illegal immigrationhave to do with your costs andyour access to medical care whenyou need it?
Estimates are that 20-40 percentof uncompensated (“free”) med-ical services are provided to peo-ple in the U.S. illegally. The actu-al number may be much higher.Shockingly, hospitals and clinicsdon’t ask about citizenship … amedical version of “Don’t Ask,Don’t Tell.”
In both Tucson and Dallaswhere I have practiced medicine,hospitals are struggling undermassive costs of uncompensatedmedical services for uninsuredpeople who, by federal law, can-not be turned away for lack ofinsurance or ability to pay.
How much does this uncom-pensated care actually cost tax-payers? The incredible answer:no one knows.
We only have “estimates” of thecosts to taxpayers to treat illegalimmigrants because hospitals andpublic health clinics do not ask forproof of citizenship before pro-viding care.
What are consequences to tax-paying citizens?
1. Increased cost and reducedaccess to trauma care. Tucson haslost all but one Level I TraumaCenter to serve all of southernArizona, in large part due to mas-sive, unsustainable losses fromuncompensated care. Auto acci-dents involving overloaded vansof illegal aliens happen regularlyin southern Arizona. Injured areflown by air ambulance toUniversity Medical Center’sTrauma Center and treated withstate of the art care …. all at tax-payer expense.
2. A registered nurse involved
with the Pima County health sys-tem since the 1970’s who mustremain anonymous because of herrole, said she has never seen anystaff member at either El RioClinic or Pima County HealthDepartment ask for proof of citi-zenship before providing freemedical services (immunizations,Well Baby checks, food stamps,WIC services, birth control, andeven elective abortions). Costsare paid by taxpayers. Whenfunds are depleted, low incomeAmerican citizens have fewer ser-vices and longer waits as a result.
3. This same RN also said: “Ipersonally know Mexican menwho married 16 year old girls, gotthem pregnant, brought them toTucson for the baby to become aUS citizen. They live in Mexicobut come here for their healthcare. Taxpayers pay for this med-ical care many ways, at the PublicHealth Department, and withschool nurses who provide care.”
4. Uncompensated medical ser-vices for illegal immigrants meanhigher premiums for all of us dueto cost shifting among all thirdparty payers. To cover the deficitsfrom “free” medical services theyprovide, the administration atUniversity Physicians HealthSystem Kino campus is analyzinghow much to increase employeehealth insurance premiums as ofJuly 1.
5. Obamacare cuts benefits toAmerican citizens: $500 billion inMedicare cuts and slashing theMedicare Advantage program.Medicare Advantage, chosen byone in five seniors, is the mostpopular plan for low and moder-ate income seniors, and coversabout half of our Hispanic orAfrican-American elderly. Mypatients on Medicare haveworked and paid into the systemover their working careers, yetthese cuts mean less health careavailable to them now. We cer-tainly cannot afford to cover thosehere illegally.
6. Hospitals in Tucson andDallas also provide uncompensat-ed (“free”) maternity services topregnant women here illegally.Their babies then become US cit-izens entitled to all of the servicesavailable for low incomeAmerican families — foodstamps, WIC, immunizations,
office visits, medications, etc.This drives up costs to all of us:higher premiums for privateinsurance companies, and highertaxes for government insurancelike Arizona’s Medicaid (AHC-CCS).
7. Professional estimates arethat over half of the pregnantwomen served at ParklandHospital in Dallas are in thiscountry illegally. With over16,000 deliveries a year, Parklandis one of the nation’s busiestmaternity services with prenatalclinics for low income women toreceive free prenatal care, nutri-tion, medication, birthing classes,child care classes, and free sup-plies (formula, diapers, bottles,car seats). Taxpayers pay thebills.
How many of these women arelegal citizens and how many arenot? No one knows. No one asksabout citizenship.
It is significant that the fourstates with the highest number ofuninsured patients are the south-ern Border States that also havethe highest burden of illegalimmigrants: California, Arizona,New Mexico and Texas.
The bottom line is that working,taxpaying, legal citizens are bear-ing the brunt of the failure of ourgovernment officials to documentcitizenship before providing med-ical services.
How long before your medicalcare is delayed or denied becauseour health systems have collapsedfrom deficits due to uncompensat-ed medical care?
Arizona’s massive deficits,greatly increased by healthcareservices for illegals, is the canaryin the mine, warning of a potentialexplosion that may collapse thesystem for all.
It’s straight out of the Cloward-Piven playbook: destroy the sys-tem by overwhelming it. Yourstate — and your healthcare —may be next.

ATHENS — Membersof O’Bleness MemorialHospital’s SeniorBEATHistory Group took astep back in time recentlyto learn about Civil Warmedicine from historyenthusiast John Murray.
“Murray has talked tothe history group before,and I was told by a mem-ber of the Civil WarRoundtable of Athensthat he had a very inter-esting program on CivilWar medicine,” saidPeggy Irwin, Coordinatorfor SeniorBEAT. “Johndoes a lot of research onthe Civil War so we cancount on what he has tosay.”
In his presentation,Murray covered themany medical issues sol-diers and medical profes-sionals faced during theCivil War. One ofMurray’s main pointswas that more soldiersdied from illness thanfrom battle.
“Soldiers were unsus-pecting of all this dis-ease. What they wereafraid of was going intobattle,” Murray said.
Murray also discussedcauses of disease andinfection, the triage sys-tem, surgery tools andtechniques and how thedevelopment of newweaponry increasedinjuries and casualties.
“There’s nothing moreinteresting than whatpeople actually did,”Murray said. “You canwatch [historical fiction]movies, but people actu-ally did the things Ishared today.”
Murray can’t recallexactly when his passionfor history began, but hehas always been interest-ed in the past and heenjoys sharing his pas-sion with others.
On Thursday, hedemonstrated his dedica-tion to history by don-ning authentic civil warattire from a top hat onhis head to uncomfort-able shoes constructedwith wooden pegs on hisfeet.
His passion for historywas equally matched bythe 16 group members inattendance. They listenedattentively, asked manyquestions and sharedknowledge and stories oftheir own. Following thepresentation, membersthanked Murray and stat-ed that they wereimpressed with his abili-ty to recall minute detailsof history.
But history is not allserious business for thiscrowd. They were quickto laugh at Murray’s jokesand not afraid to jokeright back. This is whatSeniorBEAT is all about— sharing in fun, fellow-ship and education.
“The BEAT stands for‘Be Educated and ActiveTogether’ and so all of uson the advisory board keepthat in mind when we aredeveloping programs,”Irwin said. “I’m muchmore active than I wouldhave been and I’ve metpeople that I’m almost cer-tain I would have nevermet. Socialization is themajor component of theprogram.”
SeniorBEAT is a freeprogram, sponsored byO’Bleness, available toanyone who is 60 years orolder. Every member willreceive benefits such asassistance with hospital orinsurance forms, socialservice counseling andvolunteer opportunities.Members are also maileda monthly newsletter andcalendar that include allthe program’s activitiesand events.
The group meets atO’Bleness at 2 p.m. everythird Thursday of themonth for seminars thatare geared towardsseniors. In addition togroup-wide programming,SeniorBEAT also offers
many interest groups.These groups includeBook Club, the HistoryGroup, Chair Volleyball,the Arthritis FoundationExercise Program, theSinging Group and theLunch Program.

Ever since IndividualRetirement Accountswere introduced in the1970s, the numbers oftax-advantaged retire-ment savings options —and participants — havecontinued to grow. Onerelatively new alternativethat’s gaining popularityis the Roth 401(k) plan.
401(k)s are retirementsavings plans set up byemployers that allowemployees to save fortheir retirement throughautomatic payroll deduc-tions. As its name sug-gests, the Roth 401(k)combines features of atraditional 401(k) withthose of a Roth IRA.Employers increasinglyhave begun offering Rothalternatives, so it’s wiseto understand how theywork in case you aregiven the option.
In a traditional 401(k)plan, employee contribu-tions are usually made ona pretax basis; that is,deducted from your paybefore federal and stateincome taxes are calculat-ed. This lowers your tax-able income and therefore,your taxes. You don’t paytaxes on these savings ortheir investment earningsuntil they’re withdrawn —usually after retirement.
With a Roth 401(k) youcontribute after-tax dol-lars. Although you don’tget an upfront tax break,your account grows tax-free and withdrawalsaren’t later taxed, providedyou’ve had the account atleast five years and are age59 1⁄2 or older — or havebecome disabled or die.
A few things to remem-ber:
• The combined 2010annual limit for employee401(k) contributions —whether regular and/orRoth — is $16,500($22,000 if over 50).
• Roth 401(k) contribu-tions cannot later be con-verted moved into a regu-lar 401(k), or vice versa.
• Before age 59 1⁄2, all401(k) withdrawals,whether Roth or regular,may be subject to a 10percent early withdrawalpenalty on the taxableamount. Exceptions maybe made for death or dis-ability, catastrophic med-ical expenses, first-timehomebuyer loans andbeing 55 or older at retire-ment or job termination.See IRS Publication 575for details (www.irs.gov).
With either type of401(k), you must begintaking mandatory mini-mum distributions fromyour account after youturn 70 1⁄2, just as youmust with a regular IRA.However, you can avoidmandatory withdrawalsby converting your Roth401(k) into a Roth IRA,which has no suchrequirement. You canalso convert a pretax401(k) into a regular IRAand then into a Roth IRA;but you must pay tax onthe converted amount,just as you would withany regular 401(k) with-drawal.
Many people wrestlebetween Roth and regu-lar 401(k) contributions.A few considerations:
• Will your tax rate behigher now or at retire-ment? Those in theirpeak earning years mayhave a higher marginaltax rate currently than atretirement, whereas thosejust beginning theircareers may see theirrates rise over time.
• Many financial expertsthink future income taxrates will likely climb dueto federal budget deficitsand increasing demandson Social Security andMedicare.
• The longer youremain invested in a Roth401(k), the more likelyyou are to benefit fromtax-free account growth.
• Consider whereyou’ll retire, as manystates have low or non-existent income tax.
When it’s not clearwhich type of 401(k) —or IRA — is best for theirparticular situation, somepeople diversify theirretirement savings bycontributing to both aRoth and a regular 401(k).

Gallia Academy sending 11 to D-2 state meetBY BRYAN WALTERS
CENTENARY, Ohio— For the first time sincethe turn of the millenni-um, the 2010 GalliaAcademy track and fieldprogram will have dou-ble-digit competitors atJesse Owens Stadium forthe Division II Track andField Championships atOhio State University inColumbus.
Both the Blue Devilsand Blue Angels com-bined to advance 11 ath-letes out in eight differentevents, with five of thoseeight contests being infinals. The Blue Angelswill have six competitorsin four events, while theBlue Devils will havefive kids in four events.
This year’s squadeclipsed the individualmark set last season bythe Blue Angels, whosent nine participants tostate in 10 differentevents. The Blue Devilswill also be making theirfirst appearance at statesince Luke Watts com-peted in the pole vault in2008.
The five Blue Devilqualifiers — AustinWilson, Tyler Campbell,Ethan Moore, Seth Amosand Joe Jenkins — willall be first-time competi-tors at Jesse OwensStadium. All will also becompeting on Friday.
The foursome ofWilson, Amos, Mooreand Jenkins will be com-peting in the 4x200mrelay semifinal on Friday,which will be the firsttime a Blue Devil relayteam has competed atstate since 2002.
That group will havesome work to do inadvancing to Saturday’sfinal, as the quartet entersFriday with the slowesttime of the 16 teams slat-ed to compete. It willalso be the seventhstraight year that GAHSwill be represented at
state in the 4x200m relayevent.
Wilson will also becompeting individuallyin both the 100m and200m dash semifinals onFriday. Wilson — whomatched Ty Simmons in2003 for last qualfiyingtwice in the same meet— enters Friday with13th fastest time in the100m dash and 13thfastest time in the 200mdash.
Wilson will also be theseventh fastest time ineach of his semifinalraces, with the top fouradvancing from eachheat.
Campbell will be com-peting in the long jumpfinal on Friday, enteringthe event tied for the15th-best distance. Thetop eight advance to thefinals later on Friday.Campbell will also be thesixth straight representa-tive from GalliaAcademy to compete inthe D-2 long jump.
Amos is the lone seniorin the group, whileWilson, Moore andJenkins are all membersof the junior class.Campbell is the lonesophomore for theDevils.
For a team that had
failed to score at region-als two of the last threeyears, sending a pro-gram-best number of par-ticipants to state thisdecade is definitely a stepin the right direction.That is, according toGAHS boys coach PaulClose.
“First, we have to givehonor to God. Withouthim, none of this wouldbe possible,” Close said.“These guys have put inthe work this year andthey have paid their dues.I told them two years agowhen they were fresh-men that if they stayedwith the program, they’dstart seeing the fruits oftheir labor.
“I couldn’t be anyprouder of these guys asa coach because theyhave a great work ethic.They put their hard hatson when they come topractice, from start to fin-ish. That’s what has got-ten us to this point righthere and I cannot think ofany better way to cap of

“Any time you make itto the state baseballchampionship it’s specialbecause they only takefour teams,” CoachJames Higginbothamsaid of the accomplish-ment. “You’ve got toenjoy it while you can,you don’t know whenyou’ll get back, but fourtimes is an accomplish-ment for the kids on theteam.”
Point Pleasant entersthe game with a record of15-14 on the season,while Braxton Countyposts a record of 22-6.

final competition ever —tripped over the fifthobstacle in the 100mdash finals, which result-ed in her not posting afinal time or advancingto state in that event.
Hager, who laid on thetrack for a few momentsbefore being helped upby tournament officials,could have easily hadthat mistake haunt herthe rest of the day.
Instead, like a champi-on, she used her earlymisfortunes as motiva-tion for her later events.And the extra incentivereally paid off.
Hager went on to qual-ify for state in both the300m hurdles and 200mdash, setting schoolrecord in both eventsalong the way. Hager’sextra effort allowed the
Lady Raiders to scoretheir first points (14) at aregional meet since 2004,which is the same yearthat RVHS last sent atrack competitor(Harmony Phillips) to thestate level.
Hager also joinedAshly Roberts (1999)and Allan Brown (2002)as the only RVHS ath-letes to ever qualify fortwo state events in thesame year, with Hagerbeing the second LadyRaider to accomplish theone-year feat.
It wasn’t a perfect dayby any stretch of theimagination, but Hagerwas still pretty pleasedwith the way thingswent.
“I really wasn’tthrilled about how the100 hurdles went, but Iknew the only way to letthat go was to do well inthe other two events,”Hager said. “I didn’tknow if I was going to
be able to make it in theother two races, but Iwanted it real bad.Setting school recordsand qualifying for statein those last two raceswas a pretty cool way torebound.”
Hager will enter the300m hurdles qualifierson Friday with the fifthfastest time in her heatand the ninth-fastestoverall out of theremaining 16. Hageralso owns the secondslowest time in her semi-final and 14th fastest
time overall in the 200mdash.
The top four finishersin each semifinaladvance to the state finalon Saturday.
Friday will be Hager’sfirst trip to Jesse OwensStadium for the statetrack meet. She’s hopingto be there on Saturdaytoo.
“I’m pumped,” Hagersaid. “I’ve had a fewdays to rest and I amready to put in somemore hard work atstate.”
this season than going tostate.”
Of the six Blue Angelqualifiers — AllieTroester, SamanthaBarnes, HannahLoveday, Peyton Adkins,Genna Baker and AbbyWiseman — exactly halfwill be making their firsttrip to Jesse OwensStadium for competition.
Two of the repeat qual-ifiers — Troester andBarnes — will be makingtheir second consecutiveappearance at state in thesame event. Troestercomes into the shot putfinal on Friday with thefifth-best distance, whileBarnes has the 15thfastest time headed intothe 800m run final onSaturday.
Adkins — who quali-fied last year in the3200m run — will joinBarnes and newcomersBaker and Wiseman inthe 4x800m relay finalon Friday. The 4x800msquad enters the finalwith the slowest time ofthe 16 teams competing.
Loveday, the othernewcomer to JesseOwens, will compete inthe shot put final onSaturday. Loveday hasthe seventh-best distanceof the 16 athletes in theevent.
GAHS girls coachRick Howell admits thatthis is not the typicalGallia Academy girlsteam at state. He, howev-er, is still very excitedabout what this half-dozen can accomplishover the weekend.
“We knew at the begin-ning of the year that thiswas going to be arebuilding year, andthat’s exactly what it hasbeen. We have had a lotof success this year, butwe had a lot of youngerkids step up throughoutthe course of the seasonfor those things tooccur,” said Howell.“We’re excited about
seeing three newcomersperform at the state meet,but we will also havethree state veterans tohelp lead us this week-end.
“They are ready to goand they want to do thebest they can. This willbe a good experience forour younger kids and thereturnees will know whatis expected. Now it justcomes down to perform-ing.”
Troester and Baker areseniors, Barnes is ajunior, Adkins is a sopho-more, and both Lovedayand Wiseman are fresh-men.

Blown call costs Galarraga perfect game in 9thDETROIT (AP) —
Armando Galarraga of theDetroit Tigers lost his bidfor a perfect gameWednesday night with twoouts in the ninth inning ona call that first base umpireJim Joyce later admitted heblew.
First baseman MiguelCabrera cleanly fieldedJason Donald’s grounderto his right and made anaccurate throw toGalarraga covering thebag. The ball was there intime, and all of ComericaPark was ready to cele-brate the 3-0 win overCleveland, until Joyceemphatically signaled safe.
The veteran ump regret-ted it.
“I just cost that kid a per-fect game,” Joyce said. “Ithought he beat the throw. Iwas convinced he beat thethrow, until I saw thereplay.”
“It was the biggest callof my career,” said Joyce,who became a full-timemajor league umpire in1989.
Tigers manager JimLeyland immediately
argued the call and wasjoined by several of hisplayers after the final out.Galarraga was trying topitch the third perfectgame in the majors thisseason.
Galarraga (2-1) was incomplete control through-out the night. ThenDonald’s groundballbecame the flash point ofthe night, and perhaps theseason.
After center fielderAustin Jackson made aspectacular catch on MarkGrudzielanek’s leadoff flyin the ninth and MikeRedmond grounded out,Donald came up with twoouts.
Galarraga caughtCabrera’s toss and smiled,knowing what he’d justdone. He held up his glovehand and started to makean out call with his righthand.
And then Joyce made hiscall. Galarraga lookedstunned and ComericaPark went silent in disbe-lief. A couple of Tigers puttheir hands to their heads.
Galarraga quietly went
back to work as the crowdstarted to boo. Cabreracontinued to argue the callas Galarraga quicklyretired Trevor Crowe forthe one-hit shutout.
Joyce faced a group ofhostile Tigers — led byLeyland — between thepitching mound and homeplate after the final out andwas booed lustily by thecrowd of 17,738 as hewalked off the field.
“I don’t blame them a bitor anything that was said,”Joyce said. “I would’vesaid it myself if I had beenGalarraga. I would’vebeen the first person in myface, and he never said aword to me.”
Colorado’s UbaldoJimenez pitched a no-hit-ter, too, at Atlanta on April17.
Galarraga struck outthree and walked none,and was a most unlikelystar. He was recalled fromTriple-A Toledo on May16 after pitching poorlyduring spring training, los-ing out in a competition forthe final spot in the rotationto Dontrelle Willis, who
was traded Tuesday, andNate Robertson, who wasdealt to Florida towardbefore the team brokecamp.
The 28-year-old nativeof Venezuela had successin 2008, going 13-7, but hehad done nothing quite likethe masterful performancehe had against the Indians.
He started with a 2-0count against Crowe, thenattacked the strike zoneand kept most of the weak-ly hit balls on the infield.
Cabrera hit his 15thhomer to give Detroit a 1-0lead in the second inningand Magglio Ordonez hadan RBI single in the two-run eighth.
Fausto Carmona (4-4)pitched well. He gave upthree runs — two earned— on nine hits and nowalks.
The Indians came closeto getting a hit twice beforetheir disputed single.
Galarraga almostbecame the first Tiger tothrow a perfect game.Justin Verlander threw thesixth no-hitter in franchisehistory on June 12, 2007.

SEATTLE (AP) — TheKid has called it quits.
Just the way KenGriffey Jr. wanted, therewill be no farewell tourfor one of the greatestplayers in baseball histo-ry. Instead, Griffey sim-ply informed the SeattleMariners on Wednesdaynight his career was over.
The 40-year-oldGriffey unexpectedlyannounced his retirementbefore Seattle’s gameagainst Minnesota onWednesday after 22 sea-sons, 13 all-star appear-ances and widespreadacclaim as one of thegreatest players of hisgeneration.
Stuck in a limited roleas a backup designatedhitter and spot pinch-hit-ter, Griffey calledMariners’ team presidentChuck Armstrong andsaid he was done playing.Mariners manager DonWakamatsu called hisplayers together beforethe start of batting prac-tice to inform them ofGriffey’s decision.
“While I feel I am stillable to make a contribu-tion on the field andnobody in the Marinersfront office has asked meto retire, I told theMariners when I metwith them prior to the2009 season and wasinvited back that I willnever allow myself tobecome a distraction,”Griffey said in a state-ment.
“I feel that withoutenough occasional startsto be sharper coming offthe bench, my continuedpresence as a playerwould be an unfair dis-traction to my teammatesand their success as ateam is what the ultimategoal should be,” he said.
Griffey was not in theclubhouse before thegame, and the team saidhe would not be at SafecoField.
Milton Bradley,Griffey’s teammate foronly a few months,turned to Mike Sweeneyduring batting practiceand said, “on a day likethis, it should rain inSeattle.”
Griffey was hittingonly .184 with no homersand seven RBIs this yearand recently went a weekwithout playing. Therewas a report earlier thisseason — which Griffeydenied — that he’d fallenasleep in the clubhouseduring a game.
He ends his career fifthon the all-time home runlist with 630. He won anMVP award and was an11-time Gold Glover.The only thing missing
on his resume was a tripto the World Series.
“It’s a sad day for theMariners, our fans, for allthe people in the commu-nity that have loved Ken,admired him as a tremen-dous baseball player anda great human being,”Mariners CEO HowardLincoln said. “It’s alwaystough for great superstarslike Ken or anyone elseto make a decision toretire. This has been hislife for so many years,but he has made his deci-sion and will support it.We will honor him inevery way possible.”
A star from the time hewas the overall No. 1pick in the 1987 draft,Griffey played 22 yearsin the majors withSeattle, his hometownCincinnati Reds and theChicago White Sox. Hehit .284 with 1,836 RBIs.
But his greatest sea-sons, by far, came inSeattle.
Griffey played in 1,685games with Seattle andhit .292 with 417 homers,most coming in theh o m e r - f r i e n d l yKingdome, and 1,216RBIs. He won the ALMVP in 1997 and practi-cally saved a franchisethat was in danger ofrelocating when he firstcame up.
Griffey returned to theMariners in 2009 andalmost single-handedlytransformed what hadbeen a fractured, bicker-ing clubhouse with hisleadership, energy andconstant pranks.
Griffey signed a one-year deal last Novemberfor one more season inSeattle after he was car-ried off the field by histeammates after the finalgame of 2009. Griffey hit.214 last season with 19homers as a part-timeDH. He was limited by aswollen left knee thatrequired a second opera-tion in as many offsea-sons.
“Of course it surprisedus. You never know whatis in a players mind. Theydebate things here andthere and in this particu-lar case Ken made hisdecision and there wasn’tanything anybody couldsay,” Seattle generalmanager Jack Zdurienciksaid. “You support him,you’re behind him andagain, he’s a legacy inthis community and cer-tainly in the game ofbaseball.”
His career is litteredwith highlights, fromhomering in eightstraight games to tie amajor league record in1993, to furiously round-
ing third and slidinghome safe on EdgarMartinez’s double to beatthe New York Yankees inthe AL Division Series in1995. His first majorleague at-bat was a dou-ble and Griffey homeredthe first time he steppedto the plate at home.
A year after making hisbig league debut, Griffeyenjoyed one of his great-est highlights. Playingwith his All-Star dad,Ken Griffey, they hitback-to-back home runsin a game for theMariners.
For a time in the 1990s,he was considered thebest player in baseball.And during the SteroidsEra, his name was neverlinked to performance-enhancing drugs, a rarityamong his contempo-raries such as BarryBonds, Sammy Sosa andMark McGwire.
“I think it’s pretty easyfor me to personally sayhe’s the greatest player toever play this game,”said Seattle catcher RobJohnson, whose lockerwas just a few feet fromGriffey’s. “He did every-thing. He wasn’t just ahome run hitter. The guyplayed outfield as goodor better than anyoneever played. ... To me he
is the greatest player toever live and to get achance to play with himand to get to sit next tohis locker is pretty spe-cial.”
Griffey also is regardedas the player who helpedkeep the Mariners inSeattle, a pointArmstrong noted duringan impromptu gatheringjust a few steps from thebatter’s box at SafecoField. It was Seattle’sunlikely late season play-off run in 1995, spurredby the return of Griffeyfrom injury, that led tothe construction ofSafeco Field and thefuture security of a fran-chise rumored for yearsto be on the move.
Once he left Seattle forthe Reds, injuries beganto take their toll and hisproduction started todecline. Griffey’s finalhit, during his lacklusterfinal season, was fittinglya game-winning pinch-hit single against Torontoon May 20.
Colorado manager JimTracy and others weresurprised as the news ofGriffey’s decision beganto make its way aroundbaseball.
“Did he really? Wow,”Tracy said before facingthe San Francisco Giants.

Nicklaus enjoys anotherwalk in the sun
DUBLIN, Ohio (AP)— At least twice the ageof some of his fellowplayers, nobody let 70-year-old Jack Nicklausplay from the senior tees.
After all, it was hiscourse and his home-town. He designedMuirfield Village GolfClub, home of theMemorial Tournament,in suburban Columbus,not far from where hegrew up.
Nicklaus still had agreat time in a charityskins game onWednesday. Everywherehe went, he was greetedby loud, prolongedapplause.
He didn’t win a skin —Phil Mickelson (9), TigerWoods (6) and ZachJohnson (3) won all ofthem — but no one washaving much more funthan the guy who found-ed the Memorial, won ittwice and now hosts it.
Before he even teed offat the long, uphill 10thhole, Nicklaus wasalready expecting theworst.
“I’m absolutely wornout by three practiceswings,” he said with achuckle.
Then he turned to hiscaddie and said, “Giveme a long ball. I’ve gotto get the ball to the fair-way.”
The Golden Bearacquitted himself quitewell, even though he wasplaying with four of thebest players in the world:Mickelson, Ernie Els,Kenny Perry and SeanO’Hair. They were com-peting for $25,000 tobenefit The First Tee, aswas the star-studdedfivesome a hole behind:Woods, Rory McIlroy,Steve Stricker, JimFuryk and Johnson.
It was a day for catch-ing up as much as tuningup. All the players woreportable microphones,and their commentsblared over speakers.
Walking up the firstfairway, Nicklaus askedMickelson about hiswife, Amy, who is bat-tling breast cancer. Leftyreplied that she was athome, but that he hopedshe could make it to theU.S. Open in two weeksat Pebble Beach.
Late in the day, at the18th hole, Mickelsonkidded Nicklaus aboutbeing outdriven by him.
“Yeah, I outdrove your4 iron with my driver,”Nicklaus said with alaugh.
Nicklaus remains aproud man who shunsceremonial golf. It both-ers him that he can’t playthe way he used to whenhe dominated the gamein the 1960s, ’70s and’80s. But his playing
partners relished thechance to tee it up withhim again.
“It’s been a fun day,”Mickelson said. “To beable to play nine holeswith Jack Nicklaus is agreat feeling. I think it’scool, watching him onthe last putt, grinding theway he has in the past,after he has made somany putts on the finalhole. It’s just fun watch-ing him.”
The skins game alsomarked the first time thatWoods and McIlroy, theemerging 21-year-oldphenom, played together.
“I didn’t expect any-thing different. I’ve beenaround him for the lastcouple of years,”McIlroy said. “I havehad lunch with him andhit balls beside him onthe range, chatted andstuff. It was good. He’s anormal guy. He just hitsthe ball pretty good andputts pretty good and weget it all together, he usu-ally wins.”
On the 15th green,Woods sidled up toMcIlroy, grabbed hisputter and took a coupleof pretend whacks at animaginary ball.
Woods, returning toaction after three weeksoff due to a neck injury,said he felt fine and wasready to return to compe-tition.
“It was a good time,”said Woods, a four-timeMemorial winner. “Ihaven’t played with Roryyet. It was fun to see himplay in person.”
Mickelson ranked No.2 in the world behindWoods, was asked if hethinks about taking overthe top spot.
“It would be cool,” hesaid. “I don’t want to dis-count it. Right now mygoal is to play well hereand get ready for theOpen.”
Nicklaus, winner of 18major championships, issort of an authority onwho the best player onthe planet is, since hewas for so many years.
After watchingMickelson shoot aneffortless 6-under 30 thatincluded an eagle andfour birdies, Nicklausdeclared said he believedthe No. 1 ranking meanta lot more to Mickelsonthan he might let on.
“If I were Phil, itwould mean a lot to me,”Nicklaus said. “He’sbeen No. 2 for a longtime. Of course it meansa lot to him.”
Nicklaus then turnedand was greeted by amob of eager autograph-seekers as he made hisway back to the club-house to rest his wearybody.
