  A Term at the Fed - An Insider's...

  As a governor of the Federal Reserve Board from 1996 to 2002, Laurence H. Meyer helped make the economic policies that steered the United States through some of the wildest and most tumultuous times in its recent history. Now, in A Term at the Fed, Governor Meyer provides an insider's view of the Fed, the decisions that affected both the U.S. and world economies, and the challenges inherent in using monetary policy to guide the economy.When Governor Meyer was appointed by President Clinton to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in 1996, the United States was entering one of the most prosperous periods in its history. It was the time of "irrational exuberance" and the fabled New Economy. Soon, however, the economy was tested by the Asian financial crisis, the Russian default and devaluation, the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management, the bursting of America's stock bubble, and the terrorist attacks of 9/11.In what amounts to a definitive playbook of monetary policy, Meyer now relives the Fed's closed-door debates -- debates that questioned how monetary policy should adapt to the possibility of a New Economy, how the Fed should respond to soaring equity prices, and whether the Fed should broker the controversial private sector bailout of LTCM, among other issues. Meyer deftly weaves these issues with firsthand stories about the personalities involved, from Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan to the various staffers, governors, politicians, and reporters that populate the world of the Fed.Since the end of his term, Meyer has continued to watch the Fed and the world economy. He believes that we are witnessing a repetition of some of the events of the remarkable 1990s -- including a further acceleration in productivity and perhaps another bull market. History does not repeat itself, yet Meyer shows us how the lessons learned yesterday may help the Fed shape policy today.

  Business Banner Ads

  Banner advertising has come a long way since its humble beginnings centuries ago. Yeah, that's right. Centuries flip through any old newspaper or publication from the American Colonial era, and you'll find rectangular banner ads pitching everything from beer to stockings, complete with the main image carefully chosen brand elements. Amado or a unique selling proposition.  
  And even a call to action. Of course, we're not here to discuss old print banner ads for stylish powdered wigs or state of the art wooden dentures. Although it is useful to remember how long the ancestors of today's digital banner ads have been around in this guide, we're going to be discussing modern digital banner ads in all their glory. So for starters, what are they?  
  Basically, banner advertisements are actionable, clickable tappable images that invite web visitors to buy, learn about, or receive something in exchange for a click through. These ads can appear anywhere and are typically seen within and around the content of various websites, such as the header area on a forum page, the sidebar of a blog, or a news site, or even squeezed in among the paragraphs of a news article.  
  These banner ads come in all shapes and sizes. Typically variations of the trusty old rectangle and will either be static or animated. In more recent years, some businesses have been leveraging rich media banner ads that do all sorts of wacky stuff like send a car, zooming across your screen in front of the article you were reading, and these ads aren't going anywhere soon. Banner ads still make up around 34% of all online ad spending.  
  Second, only to search engine marketing. So since they've been around for hundreds of years and businesses are spending a ton on them every year, clearly they work. The question is should you be using them in your business? That's what we'll be looking at in the next video.

  Season Finale - The Unexpected...

  In the mid-1990s, two major Hollywood studios, Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures, each launched their own broadcast television network with the hope of becoming the fifth major player in an industry long dominated by ABC, CBS, NBC, and, more recently, Fox. Despite the odds against them, the WB and UPN went on to alter the landscape of primetime television, only to then merge as the CW network in 2006—each a casualty of conflicting personalities, relentless competition, and a basic failure to anticipate the future of the entertainment business.Unfolding amid this backdrop of high-stakes business ventures, fanatical creative struggles, and corporate power plays, Season Finale traces the parallel stories of the WB and UPN from their prosperous beginnings to their precipitous demise. Following the big money, big egos, and big risks of network television, Susanne Daniels, a television executive with the WB for most of its life, and Cynthia Littleton, a longtime television reporter for Variety, expose the difficult reality of trying to launch not one but two traditional broadcast networks at the moment when cable television and the Internet were ending the dominance of network television.Through in-depth reportage and firsthand accounts, Daniels and Littleton expertly re-create the creative and business climate that gave birth to the WB and UPN, illustrating how the race to find suitable programming spawned a heated rivalry between the two but also created shows that became icons of American youth culture. Offering insider stories and never-before-published details about shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dawson's Creek, 7th Heaven, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, Felicity, Girlfriends, Everybody Hates Chris, and America's Next Top Model, Daniels and Littleton provide an exhaustive account of the two creative teams that ushered these groundbreaking programs into the hearts, minds, and living rooms of Americans across the country.But in spite of these successes, the WB and UPN unraveled, and here the authors elucidate the corporate miscalculations that led to their undoing, examining the management missteps and industry upheaval that brought about their rapid decline and the surprising teamwork that united them as the CW. The result is a cautionary and compelling entertainment saga that skillfully captures a precarious moment in television history, when the dramatic transformation of the broadcast networks signaled an inevitable shift for all pop culture.
