David A. Paterson and lawmakers agreed Sunday to dump a requirement that motorists purchase new license plates but remained divided over how to close this year’s $3.2-billion budget deficit.
In advance of today’s protest here Ugg Tall against the license plate mandate, Paterson formally announced a willingness to repeal the requirement subject to the legislature finding another way to raise $129 million in each of the next two fiscal years. He said alternative funding must be agreed to before mid-January when he unveils the 2010-11 budget.
Paterson initially backed off the $25 plate fee 10 days ago in Syracuse. Republican county clerks and state senators have launched petition drives, securing more than 100,000 signatures from across the state.
“When elected officials call for the elimination of revenue in [next year’s] budget that is already $6.8 billion in the red without offering alternatives, it is simply not responsible,” Paterson said Sunday. “If the legislature works with me . . . to identify real, recurring savings that will replace the revenue that would be lost, I will eliminate the new license requirement.”
The mandate calls for Ugg Tasmina motorists to get a new set of plates as their registration comes due, beginning April 1.
In a rare joint statement, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan) and Assemb. Brian Kolb (R-Canandaigua), the minority leader, said they would work to ensure the plate fee “will not go forward.” Austin Shafran, a spokesman for the Senate’s Democratic majority, said it supported repeal but opposed new taxes to make up the lost revenue.
The Senate’s GOP minority has used the license plate fee to criticize this year’s $131.8-billion budget. Sen. Carl Marcellino (R-Syosset) introduced a bill nixing the plate mandate. “The problem is not that we tax too little, it is that we spend too much,” he said.
Despite working over the weekend, negotiators for Paterson and legislative leaders still haven’t reached agreement on the deficit. Paterson unveiled a plan a month ago but lawmakers have balked at midyear cuts to school aid and Medicaid.
“Legislators . . . are afraid of the special interests,” the governor told Manhattan’s WBLS-FM radio last night. He has Ugg Tasman ordered special sessions for Monday and Tuesday, and vowed to keep calling them until the deficit is closed.
Senate GOP spokesman John McArdle said, “I wish I could say that there are active discussions . . . that’s not the case. I don’t see anything happening [today].”

Fort Hood, the Texas military base that was the scene of a mass shooting Thursday, has been hard hit by the growing strain on the Army from multiple combat deployments — with its Ugg Whitely Boots ersonnel suffering the highest number of suicides among Army installations since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, according to official data.
After many years of lengthy war zone rotations in Iraq and Afghanistan, Army personnel are experiencing record rates of suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and other mental health problems, as well as worsening alcohol and drug abuse.
The psychological toll on the all-volunteer force today is unprecedented, Army officials say, acknowledging that they do not know how much the Army can sustain before it breaks — making the health of the force a major consideration in President Obama’s current deliberations over sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.
It’s unclear what motivated the Army psychiatrist who is thought to have opened fire on fellow soldiers Thursday, although it’s clear he had worked in settings where the effects of combat stress were pervasive.
A small but increasing number of soldiers undergoing the mental strain of repeated comba Panodra Beads deployments are taking lives — often their own.
This year, 117 active-duty Army soldiers were reported to have committed suicide, with 81 of those cases confirmed — up from 103 suicides during the same period last year. Ten suicides have been reported at Fort Hood this year; more than 75 of its personnel have committed suicide since 2003. Fort Hood’s high number of suicides is also linked to the fact that it is the Army’s largest base, with more than 53,000 soldiers.
An estimated 30 percent of those returning from combat suffer mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress. Such problems grow worse with repeated deployments and the constant exposure to danger and the sights, smells and emotions of seeing others killed or wounded, according to Army mental health surveys.
Those who treat the mentally wounded, including doctors such as Hasan, are not immune from the symptoms. It is not uncommon for therapists who treat patients for post-traumatic stress disorder to experience some symptoms vicariously after hearing account after account of the horrors of the battlefield.
Hasan was a psychiatry intern at Walter Reed Army Medical Center from June 2003 to July 2009, Army Ugg Ultimate Tall Braid fficials said. In that position, he probably treated soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Violent outbursts such as shootings by soldiers at Army bases have occurred in recent years, including at Fort Hood, where several killings were reported over the past two years.
Historically, one of the worst shooting incidents involving soldiers took place Oct. 27, 1995, at Towle Stadium at Fort Bragg, N.C., when a soldier opened fire on paratroopers in a formation, killing one Army officer and wounding 18 others.

WASHINGTON — President Obama’s plan to send $250 checks to more than 50 million Social Security recipients who won’t get cost-of-living Ugg Boots adjustments in January is gathering support in Congress, but outside experts and budget watchdogs say the payments are unjustified.
The Social Security Administration announced as expected Thursday that there will be no adjustment, or COLA, for the first time since automatic boosts were instituted in 1975. That’s because inflation was negative for the past 12 months.
Obama’s proposal would include seniors, people with disabilities, veterans and retired railroad workers, bringing the total cost to between $13 billion and $14 billion.
Experts on Social Security blasted the plan, both as a replacement for the COLA and as a way to stimulate the economy. Seniors don’t deserve the money without inflation, they said, and don’t need it as much as those laid off in the recession.
“We’ve gotten so used to dispensing hundreds of billions of dollars that we don’t think now before spending $13 billion,” said Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. “I see no intellectual reason for this payment.”
Seniors’ groups argued the one-time payments are justified because, although inflation has been flat, medical costs have risen by more than 3%. “Seniors aren’t buying iPods,” said Barbara Kennelly, president of the Panodra Jewelry National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. “They’re staying healthy by buying prescription drugs.”
Thursday’s announcement came as no surprise. By law, cost-of-living adjustments are tied to inflation, which declined as fuel costs dropped. Last year’s COLA was 5.8%.
Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue defended the payments as a wedge against medical costs that he said have risen “at a rate of inflation much higher than any other commodity.”
The $250 would equal what was sent to Social Security beneficiaries in spring as part of the two-year, $787 billion economic stimulus law. Workers got $400 tax credits — $800 for couples — for 2009 and 2010, but seniors got one-time payments.
Obama has been seeking other ways to stimulate the economy short of a second major stimulus package, and Astrue said this is one way to do it. “Both in theory and in practice, you send money out to this group, they are going to spend it,” he said.
Democratic leaders such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed the payments. Republicans such as House GOP leader John Boehner said the Wholesale Watches funds should be paid for rather than added to the deficit.
That scenario is unlikely, said Sen. Judd Gregg, top Republican on the Budget Committee: “It’s a terrible idea if it’s not paid for, because it goes right toward the debt.”

French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand defended the film director detained over old charges of sex with a Jewelry minor. Mitterrand is now under fire for his account of sex with male Thai prostitutes.
Reporting from Paris - France’s minister of culture, whose forceful defense of film director Roman Polanski brought scrutiny to his own life, denied in a television interview Thursday that he had slept with underage boys and said his 2005 book about his experiences should not be taken as a literal memoir.

Tilting his head to the side and occasionally glancing at his folded hands on the table, Frederic Mitterrand Pandora Jewelry sought to explain passages he wrote in “The Bad Life” about having sex with young male prostitutes in Thailand.

“Yes, I had [sexual] relations with young men, but one cannot confuse pedophilia with homosexuality,” the 62-year-old politician said, insisting that he had only had sex with adults.

“It is neither a novel nor my memoirs. I preferred to leave things vague,” he said. “Nothing is true, nothing is false,” he added. “It was a way to tell a life story that resembles mine a lot.”

The book, which was widely perceived as autobiographical, raised some questions when it was published but did Panodra Beads not cause a scandal and sold well. It resurfaced after Mitterrand made a much criticized and emotional appeal in support of Polanski after the Polish American film director’s arrest Sept. 26.

Polanski was jailed in Switzerland on a warrant stemming from his guilty plea three decades ago to charges of having illegal sex with a 13-year-old girl in Los Angeles. He fled the U.S. in 1978 before sentencing and had lived in Paris ever since.

Polanski remains in custody while he awaits a decision on a U.S. extradition request.

Mitterrand, a nephew of late French President Francois Mitterrand, has been under fire since his defense of the Oscar-winning director in which he lashed out at what he called the “scary” side of American justice. The far-right National Front party has called for his resignation, and party member Marine Le Pen read excerpts of his book on French television Monday.

Socialist Party spokesman Benoit Hamon said he was “violently shocked” by the book and that “the question is to know whether Mr. Frederic Mitterrand should resign or not.”

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has not spoken out on Polanski’s arrest, nor has he explicitly come to the Wholesale Watches defense of Mitterrand, who told French reporters that he was the victim of “gutter” attacks from opposing politicians.

The minister’s book struck an especially sensitive nerve throughout France. The nation is still reacting to vocal support for Polanski among the political and artistic communities, which many viewed as a sign of a legal double standard.

“These guys all think they are above the law,” said one man in his 40s, who requested anonymity while discussing the sensitive topic as he watched Mitterrand’s interview Thursday night. “He wrote this book, then defends Polanski. . . . There is such a gap between politicians and regular people.”

He added that he “didn’t believe for one second” that the minister’s book was more fiction than fact.

In one of the excerpts from the book published in the French dailies Le Monde and Le Parisien, the narrator describes torn feelings of repulsion and attraction concerning nights he spends at a Thai brothel, where he writes that garçons [boys or young men] wearing tight T-shirts sold their bodies.

“Money and sex — I am at the heart of my system,” the narrator says, adding that it “after all works, because I know Ugg Boots that they won’t refuse me.”

During his appearance on French television network TF1, Mitterrand insisted: “I never hurt anyone.”

And he noted: “The Polanski affair has become the Mitterrand affair.”
