"In the past, Governor Corzine decried the underfunding of state pensions and the use of one-shot measures to paper over fiscal problems," said Senator Tom Kean Jr. of Union County, the Senate Republican leader.
But in return, governors and lawmakers would have to relinquish an arsenal of accounting tricks that have for years allowed elected officials to paper over the state's mushrooming long-term deficits, like rolling current expenses into future years or using "one-shot" measures -- selling state assets, for example -- to pay for recurring expenses.
One long-shot measure that should be considered is welfare reform.
The Senate opposes the taxes on cigarettes and sugared beverages, Mr. Paterson's core proposals for raising new revenue, and would replace them largely with "one shot" revenue measures that would last only one fiscal year.
Again, the three dimensions investigated here are the mean shot durations measured by transition density, the mean amount of flicker motion as measured by interframe correlations, and the mean luminance across all frames of shots in the 180 sound movies released from 1930 to 2015.
Every shot seems measured for maximum effect, and when the pace suddenly quickens in a late action sequence on a deserted subway train, it results in a moment of pure Hitchcockian panic that reverberates like thunder in the fretful, melancholy air.
Table 7 Results for adaptive partitioning using proposed shot variability measure.
In particular, we defined the shot variability measure, based on which the video shots are characterized and then classified.
Thus, this essentially compares the performance of the proposed shot variability measure for video shot characterization and classification against that of characterization using explicit motion and activity.
The shot variability measure does not involve explicit motion estimation and activity characterization, but rather uses the same features (i.e., the FD-sequence) that were used in the analysis.
