Brain Injury or Stress?
All military personnel returning from Iraq are now being screened for concus-

A recent study of 2,525 infantry soldiers published in the New England Journal

of Medicine concludes that those who suffered concussions (mild traumatic

brain injury) were more likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder than
those who hadn’t.
Additionally, it’s the PTSD that causes a lot of the subsequent physical symp-
toms, not the brain injury. Some doctors were initially skeptical. (As was I.)
Returning soldiers often experience memory loss, sleep disturbances, head-
aches and problems concentrating — all of which are symptoms of both
traumatic stress and brain injury. The one key symptom was headache — more
often aligned with brain injury than PTSD. Another key point is whether a
soldier lost consciousness during a brain injury, such as during a blast. Forty
percent of those who did also met the criteria for PTSD, especially when the

Don’t Let April 15 Pass You By
(c) 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.
By: Terry Simmons
State Farm ® agent
April 15 has long been considered a date to avoid. Visions of tax men coming for your money
are common in many advertisements on television and in print.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could do something to lower your federal income tax burden instead
of mailing a big check on April 15? With a traditional Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA), you
may be able to do just that.
A contribution of the 2007 maximum of $4,000 prior to April 15, 2008 could reduce your taxable
income, making your federal tax burden less for the year. If you were 50 or older by the end of
2007, you can add a $1000 catch-up contribution to potentially reduce the tax burden even more.
If you already have a traditional IRA, plan to make a contribution prior to the April 15 deadline.
If not, talk to a financial professional as soon as possible to start one.
There are restrictions governing who may contribute to a traditional IRA. If you don’t qualify,
consider a Roth IRA. You won’t get the federal tax advantages now, but qualified withdrawals can
be made free of federal income tax during your retirement years.
Either way, having a plan for retirement is important. You owe it to yourself to make the best
plan as soon as possible.
