government debt, to have worries.Įconomic fundamentals, such as the huge U.S. pump-priming, including the Federal Reserve’s plan to buy $300 billion in long-term Treasury bonds, Feldstein said it was natural for countries such as China, the biggest holder of U.S. He added that authorities should consider holding the sales of impaired assets at the same time that they inject government capital into them through preferred stock, in order to avoid a situation in which the banks’ capital base is left weakened after writing down the losses on the sold assets.Īsked about the potential impact on the dollar of recent U.S. that involve methane capture and combustion, says ECC president Scott Subler. “I think it has a good chance of buying up a substantial amount of impaired assets from the banks, and to the extent that it does that, it can start the banks lending again,” he said.īut there are still questions as to whether $1 trillion will suffice to clean up banks’ balance sheets enough to make them feel confident to lend, Feldstein said. It was used to pay for CO2 agricultural offset credits for four types of. That is in addition to the trillions the government has pledged or allocated to shore up the financial sector, including a public-private plan announced on Monday to help rid banks of $1 trillion in assets of uncertain value. President Obama signed into law last month a $787 billion fiscal stimulus plan, comprising $287 billion in temporary tax breaks and $500 billion in public spending. “I don’t know when it will end, but the forecasts that it’ll end later this year I think are too optimistic,” he said of the recession. “I’m afraid that the economy will continue to slide down well into next year,” Feldstein, a former head of the National Bureau of Economic Research, said in an interview in Beijing where he was attending a conference. REUTERS/Brendan McDermidįeldstein, a Harvard University professor who is a member of President Barack Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, told Reuters that the stimulus would offset only a relatively small piece of the likely fall in spending, exports and construction. It might be possible to simply shrink the subtitle size by changing the scaled size but as I have. I know the answer could be: Try it out and see for yourself, but it is painful to set the value, do an entire conversion, reset the value, and then keep track of how it changed.Martin Feldstein, Professor of Economics at Harvard University and President and the chief executive of the National Bureau of Economic Research, speaks at the Reuters Investment Outlook Summit in New York, June 11, 2008. Open file with Subler, choose the subtitle track you want to adjust, and change the offset value. The question is: If my subtitles are one half second ahead of the audio (meaning that it flashes to early for the audio) should I move the Subtitle Offset higher or lower? I know it says to set it to plus/minus but it doesn’t really say what that really does.Ĭould I get a brief description of this parameter in action, and if so I’d also like to enter an enhancement to get the help value enhanced for future use. The biggest problem that I am having is that I’m constantly struggling with the meaning of the Subtitle Offset help. At least I don’t have to compensate for more delays over time. BTW: The good news is that I am not having any “progressive” sync issue, meaning that if subtitles are one half second off at the start of a show, that half second is the same at the end. In the meantime, I’m trying to figure out the optimal Subtitle Offset value that will work well enough for every show. I haven’t figured out yet whether this is a function of shows, networks, certain factors on my machine, etc. I have found that there is subtle differences between shows. I am having the hardest time refining the sync between my video and subtitles.
