Results of custom query not paginating – get all posts

Hi All: I can get the query to work for all posts or limit the posts per page but for some reason when I add the $paged code I can only get all posts. I cannot figure what I am doing wrong.

Code snippet:

<div class="postarea">
   			 <ul>
			 <h2>In The News</h2>
			    <?php  $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;  ?>
               	<?php query_posts('category_name=News&posts_per_page=4' . $paged);?>
                <?php if (have_posts()) : ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                <div>
    			  <li><p><h3><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'publication', $single=true) ?> : <a href='<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Link', $single=true) ?>' rel="bookmark" title='Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3></p>
    			  <span class="date"><?php the_time('M d, Y'); ?></span> -  <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Summary', $single=true) ?></li>
                </div>
    			 <?php endwhile; else: ?>
				 <div class="navigation">
					<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
					<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
				</div>

                <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
        		<?php endif; ?>
				</ul>
		</div>

Thanks!
