Auburn will miss the graduated Ben Tate, mistake it not. He led the Tigers in rushing each of the last three years. He rushed for 1,300 yards last season. Is there another power back on the roster like him?
We have a wide array of possible replacements, and we have some of them listed, in alphabetical order, in our poll.
Their resumes':
Dontae Aycock: A high school quarterback who can run. He was redshirted and will check in big enough to play at 5-foot-10, 221 pounds. Wildcat candidate, too?
Michael Dyer: Star of the recruiting class will bring lots of enthusiasm to the roster. He'll get a crash course in the offense.Mario Fannin: He had more yards receiving than rushing last year, so his versatility as a do-everything guy may win the day.
Onterio McCalebb: Had big numbers early, but the injury bug slowed him. Too fragile at 5-10, 164?Cameron Newton: First, he's a quarterback. Two, he's got to win the job. Three, he ran for 655 yards and passed for 2,833 in junior college last year.
Eric Smith: He played fullback last season, but he'll get a shot at tailback. Sure-handed back in the passing game.
Polling places are open, 24/7...

Michael Dale "Mike" Huckabee (born August 24, 1955) was the 44th Governor of Arkansas, serving from 1996 to 2007. He was a candidate in the 2008 United States Republican presidential primaries, finishing second in delegate count and third in both popular vote and number of states won (behind both John McCain and Mitt Romney). He won the Iowa Republican caucuses. Huckabee exited the race as McCain became the presumptive Republican nominee after winning the delegate winner-take-all states of Florida, California, and New York State.
Huckabee is the author of several best selling books, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, musician and a public speaker. He is also an ABC Radio political commentator. He and his wife, Janet, have been married for 36 years and have three grown children: John Mark, David, and Sarah. Janet Huckabee was an unsuccessful candidate for Arkansas Secretary of State in 2002.

Who Benefits From Syrian Civil War?
By editor
Originally published on Fri December 14, 2012 1:20 pm
Egyptians are voting on a new constitution - but the vote is polarizing the country. Meanwhile, in Syria, the main opposition group is now recognized by the U.S., but there are questions about al-Qaeda affiliates fighting alongside them. To make sense of the developments, host Michel Martin talks with Abderrahim Foukara of Al Jazeera International.

Before buying insurance, decide what is right for you and your family. Don't forget, your family also may be protected by such plans as Social Security, veteran's benefits, or other savings plans.
Before you decide on term or permanent insurance, think about how well you can save. Permanent insurance forces you to save through the build-up of cash value. Depending on the kind of policy you have, the rate of return may be low. Sometimes a cash value policy must be held for several years because most have no cash value at the end of the first few years. If you drop a cash value policy too early, you will lose money.
More than 20 percent of those buying cash value (permanent) policies lose their policies within two years of purchase. More than 50 percent lose them within 10 years.
Think about your tax situation. If you are in a high tax bracket, permanent insurance may be good because the savings built up in the policy are tax-deferred. Also the face value of a life insurance policy will be available to your family immediately after your death. With ordinary investments your family may have to wait for the benefits or be forced to sell investments at a loss.
Death benefits of any life insurance policy, permanent or term, are not taxable for income tax purposes. However, life insurance held in your name is added to your taxable estate for estate tax purposes. So if you own the policy and pay the premiums, when you die the insurance proceeds will be added to your other property to determine death taxes. Each person can leave property of up to $600,000 to heirs without paying federal estate taxes.
Deciding what kind and how much insurance to buy will take careful consideration. Actually, the job will never be finished. Both your situation and insurance policies and provisions will change, so new possibilities will be open up. No one can give you an exact formula, but keep these suggestions in mind:
Study your needs as a family. Make the decisions as to which are the most important needs now and how much you can afford to pay for insurance that will protect you in the future.
Insure first the risk that would be most damaging if it occurred.
Review your insurance needs at least annually and more often if there is a change in the family: marriage, birth, new home, more possessions, etc.
Select an agent you can trust as this is your most valuable guide. A competent agent will take into account your needs now and any future needs you may have. Having an agent you trust will ensure that you are not over-or under-protected with insurance.

Intel: Data centers could use some fresh air
Fresh air could save millions in data center cooling costs, Intel has claimed, after a successful experiment in the New Mexico desert.
Replacing air conditioning by piping in outside air saved power costs, with no appreciable increase in server failure rates, Intel concluded in a research paper (PDF). Despite a lot of dust and major temperature changes--both long considered undesirable in data centers--the equipment wasn't affected, Intel said.
"Servers...were subjected to considerable variation in temperature and humidity, as well as poor air quality; however, there was no significant increase in server failures," the paper said. "… Read more

UPnP in Skype 3.8 for Windows
With Skype 3.8 for Windows beta we have made our own UPnP implementation which is no longer dependent on Microsoft UPnP framework.
UPnP is an industry-wide protocol designed for automatic device configuration. Its main purpose is to provide seamless "just works" experience when a new device is connected to network.
Most major consumer router vendors are using UPnP in their devices. Skype uses UPnP to configure the firewall for best possible call quality.
Since Skype version 3.0 Skype has relied on Microsoft UPnP Framework to configure devices. However there are a few concerns if UPnP Framework is used in conjuction with Internet Connection Sharing as described in Microsoft knowledge base article 886257. Due these issues Skype provided opt-in check box under advanced connection options.
Skype for Windows version 3.8 has new UPnP implementation which does not depend on Microsoft UPnP Framework anymore and hence issues outlined in Microsoft KB article do not apply anymore. Along with that change "Allow Skype to modify my firewall settings" checkbox has been removed. Since Skype for Windows version 3.8 the UPnP is enabled by default.
New UPnP implementation is already available on Skype 184.108.40.206 for Linux and will come to Mac users soon.
People who are concerned with overall UPnP security should disable UPnP on their firewall device. For assistance see your firewall manual.
One thought on "UPnP in Skype 3.8 for Windows"
lfillc said 5 years ago
Skype's own UPnP implementation causes problems with certain Speedstream brand ADSL modems.
Whenever Skype is launched it causes my Speedstream ADSL modem to disconnect from the Internet. It is as though Skype is causing the modem to reset. It takes several minutes for the modem to train back up.
Looks like disabling UPnP in the Speedstream is the key to preventing the problem.

Hudson Institute
last updated: April 02, 2013
Please note: IPS Right Web neither represents nor endorses any of the individuals or groups profiled on this site.
The Washington, D.C.-based Hudson Institute is part of a closely-knit group of neoconservative policy institutes that champion aggressive, Israel-centric U.S. foreign policies. Founded in 1961 by several dyed-in-the-wool Cold Warriors, including Herman Kahn—a one-time RAND nuclear war theorist notorious for his efforts to develop "winnable" nuclear war strategies—Hudson describes itself as "a nonpartisan policy research organization dedicated to innovative research and analysis that promotes global security, prosperity, and freedom."[1]
Hudson complements its foreign policy work with research on social and economic issues, claiming to "challenge conventional thinking and help manage strategic transitions to the future through interdisciplinary and collaborative studies in defense, international relations, economics, culture, science, technology, and law."[2]
Although the institute calls itself a "non-partisan" organization, its scholars and work tend to reflect a deep ideological affiliation with militaristic security policies, as well as an anti-Islamic and right-wing "pro-Israel" posture with respect to the Middle East. The Gatestone Institute, an "Islamophobic" advocacy group headed by Nina Rosenwald, began as a Hudson satellite office in New York.
"War on Terror" and Middle East Politics
Hudson scholars write on a variety of purported threats to U.S. security—including a rising China, leftists in Latin America, and border politics. However, the institute devotes much of its work to issues related to the Middle East and Islam, often promoting hawkish policies vis-à-vis Mideast countries like Syria and Iran.
Hudson's Center on Islam, Democracy, and the Future of the Muslim World is a case in point. Directed by Hillel Fradkin, a Leo Strauss adept who has worked for a number of neoconservative groups, the center's "About" page contends that Muslims are inclined toward religious extremism: "For the past thirty years or more, Islamism and radical Islam has dominated the realm of ideas in the Muslim world. It has met with little ideological opposition, though it has been opposed politically by authoritarian regimes throughout the Muslim world. It has served, not coincidentally, as the background out of which contemporary Islamic terrorism has emerged."[3]
Like many of his Hudson colleagues, Fradkin is keen on regime change in Iran. In a September 2012 op-ed coauthored with Hudson vice president Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Fradkin linked uprisings in Syria and Libya to the purported necessity of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. "We have no reason to expect that the radical rulers of Iran will go gently if and when revolution comes," they wrote. "Muammar Gaddafi and Assad fought back, and the Iranian mullahs hold even stronger ambitions and hatreds of the West." Claiming that Iran's leaders are unlikely to abandon "the proclaimed religious obligation to create an Islamic new world order," Fradkin and Libby predicted that "if Iranian hard-liners succeed in obtaining nuclear weapons, those weapons will most likely be kept in the hands of military leaders—the Revolutionary Guard—closest to the hard-liners. In short, the weapons will be where we would least want them in turbulent times."[4]
Hudson also hosts a Center on Middle East Policy, which is led by Meyrav Wurmser, cofounder of the controversial Middle East Media Research Institute and spouse of neoconservative ideologue and George W. Bush administration official David Wurmser. An ardent backer of right-wing, "pro-Israel" security policies, Meyrav is a proponent of the notion—which as of early 2013 both U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies disagreed with—that Iran is building nuclear weapons and intends to use them against Israel. In a May 2012 blog post for the New York Times rejecting the idea of a non-proliferation treaty in the Middle East—a proposal that would entail Israel disarming its own undeclared nuclear arsenal—Wursmer claimed that "Since Iran's [nuclear] program existentially threatens Israel, Israel must possess the means to deter or defeat the realization of that threat." She added that any regional agreement "would reward Iran's aggression, confirm its strategy of threats, and encourage it to accelerate."[5]
A number of other Hudson scholars have also been leading voices in the effort to push the United States to attack Iran, including adjunct fellow Norman Podhoretz, an early neoconservative trailblazer and former editor of Commentary magazine. In a widely noted June 2007 article for Commentary titled "The Case for Bombing Iran," Podhoretz wrote: "The Iranian regime needs to know that if it stays on its present course, the international community is prepared to impose serious consequences. The United States joins other nations in sending a clear message: We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon." He concluded pointing to European weakness, a familiar Podhoretz theme: "In fact, it could almost be said of the Europeans that they have been more upset by Ahmadinejad's denial that a Holocaust took place 60 years ago than by his determination to set off one of his own as soon as he acquires the means to do so. In a number of European countries, Holocaust denial is a crime, and the European Union only recently endorsed that position. Yet for all their retrospective remorse over the wholesale slaughter of Jews back then, the Europeans seem no readier to lift a finger to prevent a second Holocaust than they were the first time around. Not so George W. Bush, a man who knows evil when he sees it and who has demonstrated an unfailingly courageous willingness to endure vilification and contumely in setting his face against it."[6]
Funding Right-Wing Israeli Politics
In mid-2010, Israeli bloggers uncovered the Hudson Institute's funding of a right-wing Israeli group that was founded by a settler leader named Israel Harel. According to authors Didi Remez and Shira Beery, writing in the blog Coteret, U.S. tax forms and official Israeli registration documents show that Hudson has been a principal financial backer of the Institute for Zionist Strategies (IZS), providing no less than 50 percent of this group's budget over several years, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.[7]
IZS—together with another right-wing group called Im Tirzu that has received significant funding from U.S. Pastor John Hagee's Christian Zionist group Christian's United for Israel (CUFI)[8]—has been at the forefront of a controversial effort to attack sociology and political science departments they deem "left-wing" and "post-Zionist."[9]
Despite efforts by some of the groups' leaders to disavow any connection between their work, Israel's Haaretz reported in August 2010: "Im Tirtzu chairman Ronen Shoval and the organization's spokesperson, Erez Tadmor, took part in a Young Leadership program run by the Institute for Zionist Strategies several years ago, seemingly contradicting the two men's earlier assertion that they were not acting in concert with the institute in their public campaign against the 'anti-Zionist bias' in Israeli universities. … The IZS report on sociology departments is reminiscent of Im Tirtzu's report on political science departments. Not only is the methodology of the two reports identical (an examination of syllabi and a classification of lecturers into categories such as 'Zionist' and 'anti-Zionist'), but the conclusions they reached about the state of Israeli academia are similar."[10]
Didi Remez, in a separate blog entry, highlighted additional connections between Hudson and IZS: "Max Singer, co-founder of the Hudson Institute, its former President and current Senior Fellow, is also the IZS's Research Director. At least according to his bio on the Hudson website: The IZS site only identifies him as a member of the Advisory Committee. Its 2006 brochure (page 8), however, states that he is a member of the International Board of Governors and is one of the ex-officio members of the Projects Committee, which "as such, are invited to all deliberative sessions and events." According to the IZS's verbal report to the Israeli Registrar of Associations for 2008 (the last one filed), Singer's wife, Suzanne, is one of three members of the NGO's "Council", the sovereign decision-making body under Israeli law.[11]
The bloggers criticized both Hudson and IZS for not being open about their ties, writing: "The Hudson Institute's involvement in controversial and partisan battles in the Israeli public sphere is legitimate. What is not is the fact that it is hidden from the public eye. The organizations share information on their financial relationship with their respective regulators but not with the general public. Both the IZS and the Hudson websites do not mention the organizations' connection. In Hebrew, the IZS site simply states that its funding is "private." In English, it refers potential donors to a newly established (it has registered but not yet filed with the IRS) US charity, "Friends of the Institute for Zionist Strategies."[12]
The writers also noted that Hudson's "opaque involvement in Israeli affairs is not limited to 'democracy' issues and encompasses high-level geopolitics as well. Its form 990 for 2007 (last page) reports on the transfer of $600,000 to the 'Atlantic Forum of Israel' in the previous tax year. Trying to understand what this organization does is no easy task. Its website is 'under construction.'"[13]
Scholars and Leadership
Hudson's current and former scholars and associates include many widely recognized neoconservative figures. Several Hudson associates have supported the work of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), the advocacy outfit that played an important role in pushing for the invasion of Iraq in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, as well as its various successor groups. The overlap between Hudson and the now-defunct PNAC has included many who signed PNAC's 1997 "Statement of Principles," including Elliott Abrams, the pardoned Iran-Contra convict who served as a Mideast adviser to the Bush administration and is a former Hudson scholar; Francis Fukuyama, the erstwhile neoconservative fellow traveler and author of the "end of history" thesis who in recent years has rejected many of the faction's policy ideas; and trustee emeritus Donald Kagan, a conservative classicist.
The Hudson institute also has multiple connections to the Center for Security Policy, a hardline advocacy outfit founded by former Reagan administration defense official Frank Gaffney, through members like Charles Horner, George Keyworth, Richard Perle, and William Schneider.
Kenneth R. Weinstein is Hudson's president and CEO. He joined the institute in 1999 and is a former research fellow. He previously worked at the Heritage Foundation, the New Citizenship Project, the Israel-based Shalem Center (home to the Sheldon Adelson-funded Adelson Institute for Strategic Studies), Claremont McKenna College, and Georgetown University.
Herbert London, Hudson's president emeritus, has been affiliated with the institute for more than three decades, either as a trustee or senior fellow, founding Hudson's Center for Employment Policy during his tenure. London is also a former Olin Professor of Humanities at New York University. London has sat on the boards of numerous private sector businesses and organizations, including Merrill Lynch Assets Management. He previously served as board member to the Center for Naval Analyses.
I. Lewis Libby, the former assistant to Vice President Dick Cheney who was convicted as part of the federal investigation into the PlameGate affair, serves as Hudson's senior vice president. According to his bio page on the Hudson website, which fails to mention his conviction on charges of lying to government investigators, Libby "guides the Institute's program on national security and defense issues, devoting particular attention to U.S. national security strategy, strategic planning, the future of Asia, the Middle East, and the war against Islamic radicalism."[14]
Walter P. Stern, who has also served a vice president of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, is the chairman emeritus of Hudson's Board of Trustees, which has strong ties to the corporate world, including defense industries. Current and former Hudson trustees have include Conrad Black, Donald Kagan, Emmanuel Kampouris, Dan Quayle, Richard Perle, Nina Rosenwald, and Lawrence Kadish.
Hudson cofounder Max Singer, who remains a senior fellow, is associated with the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, which is part of Bar-Ilan University in Israel. He writes frequently for the Jerusalem Post and other major newspapers, routinely advocating hardline views about Saudi Arabia and supporting Israel's actions toward the Palestinians. He was also a fervent supporter of Ahmed Chalabi, the discredited former Iraqi exile who has been tied to Iranian figures.[15]
Hillel Fradkin, who joined Hudson as a senior fellow in summer 2004 and runs its Center on Islam, Democracy, and the Future of the Muslim World, has been a longtime member of the network of rightist and neoconservative institutions, serving as head of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a fellow at AEI, and an officer at the Bradley and Olin foundations. In 2004 article for the Irving Kristol-founded Public Interest, Fradkin argued, "It is hard to overstate the collective psychological effect of the decline of Islamic power, coincidental with the rise of Christian power and its modern political organization."[16]
Another outspoken Hudson scholar is Irwin Stelzer, who has directed economic policy studies at the institute. Stelzer is the editor of the 2004 volume The Neocon Reader (Grove Press, New York), a compendium of writings from different political figures and authors that describes aspects of neoconservatism.
Other notable Hudson scholars past and present have included Carol Adelman (spouse of Ken Adelman), Anne Bayefsky, Robert Bork, Douglas Feith, Laurent Murawiec, Nina Shea, Lee Smith, and Ben Wattenberg.
After the institute was founded in 1961 by Herman Kahn, Max Singer, and Oscar Ruebhausen in New York's Westchester County, it moved to Indianapolis in 1984, and then finally settled in Washington, DC in 2004. During its more than 40 years of operation, the institute claims to have helped shift "the world away from the no-growth policies of the Club of Rome," enabling the former Soviet republics to become "booming market economies." It also claims to have pioneered "Wisconsin welfare reform" that was later applied nationally. More recently, however, the institute has focused much of its work on security issues, declaring that its move to Washington was made "in an effort to focus its research on foreign policy and national security issues."
One of Hudson's founders, Kahn, was one of the more infamous products of the RAND Corporation, where, beginning in 1947, he developed nuclear strategies that downplayed the impact of a thermonuclear war and was supposedly the inspiration for the character of Dr. Strangelove. In a discussion of Kahn's ideas in the New Yorker, Louis Menand quoted Kahn's 1960 book, On Thermonuclear War: "Despite a widespread belief to the contrary, objective studies indicate that even though the amount of human tragedy would be greatly increased in the postwar [i.e. nuclear] world, the increase would not preclude normal and happy lives for the majority of survivors and their descendants."
Menand commented: "The reason [Kahn's] scenarios are fantastic to the point, almost, of risibility is that they deliberately ignore all the elements—beliefs, customs, ideas, politics—that actual wars are fought about, and that operate as a drag on decision making at every point."[17]
The Hudson Institute received close to $25 million between 1987 and 2003 in foundation, corporate, and government grants, according to Media Transparency and the Capital Research Center.[18] In 2005, the Sarah Scaife Foundation gave Hudson $150,000 for projects, and the Shelby Cullom Davis Foundation gave $75,000 "toward general support for the U.S., China, Russia, and Iran Diplomacy and Security project, and the work of Russian scholar and writer Dr. Andrei Piontkowski," according to Media Transparency. In 2004, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation gave Hudson hundreds of thousands for various projects. Other top Hudson funders have included Olin, Smith Richardson, Pew, the Donner Foundation, and the Department of Justice.[19]
In its annual report for 2011, Hudson reported that some 39 percent of its revenues came from foundations, 25 percent from individuals, 18 percent from corporations, and about 9 percent each from investments and government grants.[20] In 2010, Hudson reported nearly $12.3 million in revenues, over $1 million of which went to Weinstein, London, Libby, and COO John Walters.[21]

Product 28/67
Allegra returns to her home town following her mother's death, a town she had fled because of her broken romance with Nick.
Even though Nick had betrayed her in the past, Allie has forgiven him--of course she has--after all it's the Christian thing to do. But it would be silly to consider resuming their romance. She had been hurt too badly the last time. Still Allie finds Nick and his young daughter irresistable.

Is there any real difference between Burn Down Charts and EVM?
Posted: August 24th, 2010 | Author: greger | Filed under: Project Management | Tags: earned value, earned value management, estimation, follow up, project management, tracking | No Comments »In the September/October 2010 issue of IEEE Software Hakan Erdogmus discusses the differences between Earned Value Management and current agile practices such as burn down charts. His conclusion is that while similar these two concepts are not the same. I do not agree, I think burn down charts and all that is merely a special case of EVM.
I do agree with one thing though, calling the budgeted cost of a work item its "value" is a misnomer.

Sunshine - Review
I am fully aware that this film came out nearly 5 years ago, but I did something the rest of the world did as well and chose not to see it; until my girlfriend told me it would be a worthwhile watch and I sat down to finally, full of expectations watch something that looked stupid when it came out; and is stupid now.
Before you assume this is going to be another hyper negative review- this is my favourite film of the ones I have watched since I've been doing this bid for emotional gratification; but that doesn't protect it from the fact it has ludicrous deficiencies. And that's if I ignore the plot which sounds like something a 13 year old on meth would write whilst he was watching anime pornography; it has the believability of whatever that tentacle heavy exploitation film would have as well.
Sunshine is the deliriously simple tale of a crew of shipmates going to re-ignite the sun. That's right; RE-IGNITE THE SUN, with something called a payload which is either military talk or a metaphor about money and corruption or whatever; you are too put off by Cillian Murphy's adolescent drone to want to listen to an explanation of it.
Despite the rather interesting story, good cast and top notch director; the films leaves a lot half baked (Get it? Half baked? Baking hot sun? Film about the sun? No?) which overall makes for a rather sloppy ending where no emotion is omitted from the audience and all you do is look at the pretty light show and wish it was November 5th where you would be stood freezing your bone marrow to an icy sheen but still feel warmer than how this film leaves you when it comes to its predictable conclusion.
There's another thing; people alone for a prolonged amount of time in space, the audience knows how this is going to end. Not one person could tell you otherwise. No-one told the writer though who tries to explore as many genres as possible before he falls on predictability to tie the film up. After exploring mood piece, disaster film, loss of humanity and slasher flick he reverts to the obvious after giving Danny Boyle, usually excellent, an opportunity to mishandle all of those genres.
It's a shame how misguided the ending is when it starts so well; granted the voice over explaining the purpose of the Icarus space ship is so ludicrous it takes a lot of effort not to get up and leave and watch something more believable, like a Katie Price documentary called 'Confessions of a Catholic Nun', but once you get past that the film pounces into emotional intensity and believability. Cillian Murphy's character, Cappa, is built upon nicely and Chris Evans' Mace is also touched upon to get you into the hope that this might become an interesting character piece. It doesn't. After this promising beginning it makes you resent and hate the other crew and not care when their inevitable demise is met in a ludicrous manner of ways. With every sudden and unexplainable tonal shift you start to feel like there is nothing more that you would rather do than walk into the ship with a crowbar and destroy every soul yourself, if Michelle Yeoh's Corazon (SPOILER ALERT) had been on the screen for a second longer I would have had to kill her myself with her own plants screaming SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP YOU TERRIBLY POINTLESS HUMAN BEING!
Once more the ending leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, not because of its predictability but because you stop caring. The death of the sun is supposed to be a threat to earth, but you can't help but think the world is in as much peril of destruction as a goat at the joint annual convention of vegans, goat worshipers and weak similes; it's such an undersold plot development.
All in all, after the promising plot, beginning and setting you start to, not dislike the film, but resent what it turns into; you wish it would stop trying to be a mainstream , high CGI film and be an interesting character piece that it tries, and succeeds, to be at points throughout.
Verdict: 3/5

I am in love with the idea of housing something so high tech in something so delightfully old world. And the James Bond aspect isn't lost on me either, no one would ever know that one of your old books is actually a fancy iPad until you pull it off the shelf to play show and tell with the case, as I imagine you wouldn't be able to stop yourself if you owned one of these beauties. These BookBook iPad cases by TwelveSouth could be used to explain my general outlook on life, I'd like it to look like the 1930′s but function like 2011. Unfortunately outside of using these stylish cases I doubt I'll be able to pull that off, but it won't stop me from trying.

PURCHASE, N.Y. – Today's college graduates are facing an uphill battle to find jobs in Westchester County as the population continues to age.
The senior citizen population in Westchester is expected to grow by over 17 percent from 2000 and 2025, according to Laurence Gottlieb, director of economic development for Westchester County. Gottlieb, who spoke at Manhattanville College's Business Career Fair Tuesday morning, said that conversely, the population of people between 25 and 44 is expected to drop by 1 percent during that same period.
"It's not unusual to go to a CVS in Westchester and see more folks with gray hair than kids with acne," Gottlieb said.
Gottlieb said this trend is narrowing the gap between the number of people working and number of retirees. In 1950, he said, there were 16 workers for every retiree in the U.S., but he estimated that by 2025 there would be only two workers for every retiree.
"This is a huge tidal wave that is coming," Gottlieb said. "If we don't make sure the youth are employed, it's going to be more difficult to pay for a retiree's benefits. People are living longer and this is having a tremendous impact on our economy."
One of the biggest challenges is the high property taxes in the Northeast. But Gottlieb said the Northeast produces a much higher rate of college graduates, which can potentially lead to higher paying jobs. He said that when he took his current position with the county in 2009, he trademarked it as the "Intellectual Capital of New York State."
"There is a notion that Westchester County can just grab businesses from the South, but that's not going to happen because of the type of jobs we have up here," Gottlieb said. "We pay higher taxes because we want great schools to create smart kids. We need to look at how competitive Westchester County can be given those conditions."
The biggest challenge facing Westchester, according to Gottlieb, is retaining the young people who grow up here. Gottlieb said that the recession has made that more difficult because, unlike previous recessions, this one has gone on longer.
"We need to keep our youth interested and employable," Gottlieb said. "I'm saying this not to depress anybody but to arm students with the facts on the job market."

Recipe by SECRETV2
"This easy cucumber salad lets you turn your cucumbers into an instant side dish! A light seasoning of salt pepper and garlic powder and some mayonnaise is all you need."
Watch video tips and tricks
4 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 pinch garlic powder
1/2 cup mayonnaise
I thought this was pretty good. The mayo was a nice twist, as I would normally opt for sour cream. I've made this twice. The first time I followed the recipe exactly as written, the second time I used white vingear in place of the mayo, although I used only 1/4 cup. Vinegar and cucumbers seem to compliment each other perfectly, and with the addition of the salt, pepper and garlic powder, well...it was just yum! I'll be making this recipe again...both ways.
Much better with onions sliced thin and only adding vinegar, salt and pepper. But I bet the sugar would be a nice touch.
26 Ratings
I did not care for this salad as written, but I liked the simple ingredients. Cut the pepper WAY down and the garlic powder WAY up. The salt and mayo proportions seemed fine. Everyone's taste is different, but I was even afraid to switch the pepper and garlic proportions, thinking it was mistyped. Just make to your own taste!
Used a touch of powdered ranch dressing mix and added one small very thinly sliced red onion. Let it sit at least an hour, and make sure to peel the cukes if you want a truly creamy cucumber salad (I didn't the first time, but I will next time!). Thanks for the recipe!
I didn't have enough mayonaise, so I used light ranch dressing and seasoned pepper. Very good!
My husband loves this recipe and says it is even better then what his Oma made when he was growing up. Follow the ingredients listed but alter the amounts according to your own taste buds (we prefer more garlic and less pepper).
Yummy, Probably would be a little better with vinegar, but still pretty yummy.
soak the cucumbers in salt water for an hour to get rid of the bitter bite that often comes with cucumbers. yum!
