Excerpt from CNBC -- "'It's hard to see this as humane,' Frank said. 'Seniors are facing hardships economically with cost-of-living increases, especially in health care.'"

Maria Bartiromo, with Suresh Sani, Undergraduate College Dean Geeta Menon and Professor Batia Wiesenfeld, was this year’s 2013 Sani Lecture keynote.

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "Alcoa grew at the beginning of the 20th century to dominate U.S. industry as an integrated monopolist alongside John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil and Andrew Carnegie’s U.S. Steel Corporation, according to George David Smith, a professor of business history at New York University’s Stern School of Business who has consulted for Alcoa."

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "'Luis Cabral, a Portuguese economist and professor at New York University, said the court still went beyond a legal ruling and delivered what amounted to 'a significant political statement,' which means that 'effectively, government expenditure cannot be reduced.' In terms of Portugal’s budgetary commitments, Mr. Cabral added, 'when you put it all together, it’s clear that things do not add up.'"

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "Yes, there is a place for research but it has to be kept in its place. It can’t be the criteria for hiring or promotion. Teaching ability should be the primary factor. Students are entitled to the best teachers that schools can secure, but not the best researchers. They don’t need the person who invents theoretical models to teach them those models. They need someone to teach them who is a good transmitter of information."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "Discipline does not mean fiscal austerity. Discipline means a sustained commitment to a pragmatic growth strategy that's both vigilant and flexible and values what's good for the country as a whole over any individual or interest group. And so when you look at it that way and you look at what developing countries have done, they have learned from the things that we've preached to them in the 1980s and 1990s and now if we would just take a look at countries like Brazil, Chile, South America to the countries of East Asia, there's a message there for us to basically take what we taught them and apply it at home and begin to start growing again and begin to get out of this period of low expectations and underperformance."

Excerpt from CBS News -- "When I was a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania in the late 1980s, I set for myself the task of trying to figure out what morality really is. Where does it come from? Why is it so variable around the world, yet at the same time, you see the same basic elements (such as reciprocity, care, loyalty, and authority) repeated over and over again? I studied how morality varied between India, the USA, and Brazil. But after John Kerry's loss to George W. Bush in the presidential election of 2004, the Charlottesville Democratic Association asked me to give a talk on how liberals and conservatives differ. I found that the ideas I had developed to compare different countries worked quite well to compare different sides of the political spectrum. After that talk, I decided to change my research to focus on the left-right divide, which was (and still is) tearing America apart. "The Righteous Mind" is my effort to explain that divide, while at the same time answering the question I set out to answer in grad school: what is morality, and where does it come from?"

Excerpt from AtGoogleTalks -- "2002 - 2007 was a great period for the world economy. We're in a much less robust period. In 2012, the advanced nations of the world grew only 1.3% per year. Europe actually contracted. Europe's in a recession. Emerging economies still grew at 3.5%. So in the aftermath of the financial crisis from 2008-2009, from which we're still recovering, and very importantly, we know from work by a number of scholars including Carmen Reinhart and Ken Rogoff that countries recovering from financial crises, when financial crises are the cause of the recession, countries grow much more slowly...and that means we need emerging economies to continue to grow at rapid rates in order to pull along the advanced world."

Excerpt from NPR -- "In his new book Drunk Tank Pink Adam Alter, an assistant professor of psychology and marketing at NYU, explains how subtle cues, such as the sound of someone's name or the color of a room, can influence behaviors and thoughts."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "In terms of comparing the US with Europe, with Japan, with the United Kingdom, US economic growth is better. Deleveragings occur faster, there is a housing recovery, there is the shell gas and oil revolution..."
