There's a proposal to revamp the state's tax system to be considered.
And, with the state in the teeth of a continuing drought, there's a statewide water management plan to be wrestled with, as well.
So here's a question. In the face of those serious pieces of business, what does state Sen. Eric Johnson, R-Savannah, think is also worth the time of state legislators when the Georgia General Assembly convenes Jan. 14?
The answer? The naming of an interstate highway interchange for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas - something Johnson, president pro tem of the Senate, told the Savannah Morning News has been on his mind for almost a year.
So, as local and state officials wrestle with the implications of Georgia House Speaker Glenn Richardson's proposal to scuttle property taxes in favor of a state-administered sales tax, and as those same officials watch their water sources dry up and try to determine how they'll meet water needs in both the immediate and distant future, one of this state's most powerful elected officials has nothing better to do with at least some of his time than develop a calculated political ploy for the upcoming legislative session.
There's no doubt Johnson is sincere in his attempt to have the intersection of Interstate 16 and Interstate 95, a gateway to Savannah, named for Thomas. It makes sense for a conservative Republican, like Johnson, to seek an honor for the conservative jurist, particularly considering Thomas was born and raised in the environs of the coastal city that Johnson represents.
But there's also no doubt Johnson recognizes the political implications of his effort to get some sort of monument installed at the freeway intersection.
A Friday story in the Savannah newspaper on Johnson's initiative to honor the court's first black jurist notes that just six years ago, a local proposal to rename a library for Thomas was met with controversy, based on Thomas' balking at affirmative action programs. Eventually, just a wing of the library was named for Thomas.
The Savannah newspaper story also included comments from two prominent black Democratic legislators - Rep. Tyrone Brooks of Atlanta, president of the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials, and Rep. Al Williams of Midway, chairman of the Georgia Black Legislative Caucus - on Johnson's proposal. Both men said they disagreed with many of Thomas' Supreme Court opinions.
Thus, Johnson's proposal, as he no doubt knows, puts any number of Democratic and black legislators in the position of having to balance the question of honoring a native Georgian, who rose from poverty to a seat on the highest court in the land with the question of honoring a man whose philosophy is anathema to many of them. That's a tough situation for those legislators, made doubly tough because 2008 is an election year.
To their credit, and in a clear signal that they're on to Johnson's game, Williams and Brooks, along with Democratic Savannah state Sen. Regina Thomas (no relation to Justice Thomas) have indicated they aren't going to object to the bill, even though none were particularly enthused about it.
Clearly, the three legislators recognize that, with serious issues like taxation and water looming, they and the rest of the legislature just won't have time next year for political games.
It's too bad Johnson, part of the legislative leadership, couldn't come to that same conclusion.

Creative and entertaining
I've just played a few levels, but they were very nicely done with good graphics, creative enhancements to the falling penguin, like extra life, better shield, better flashlight, etc.
So far, I have not needed to purchase extra coins, so I gave it high marks.
Love it
Ive been playing this game for about 10mins now, but I'm already addicted to it. Haha. Its just like me to find an adventure penguin game for my phone. <3
I just dont like that a lot of the objectives are to hit things that harm you. That seems silly to me.
Oterwise :) love it.
Fun but too much repetition.
Like this game but when you die there is no way to click through to start the level over again faster, which is why the title says too much repetition.

(CBS) - 'Tis the season for toy shopping. In many cases, toys are getting more high-tech- even Barbie! Toys controlled by the wave of hand, pajamas that tell bedtime stories and a mirror that does the face painting for you....
So if you're planning to hit the high-tech aisle of the toy store this holiday season, here's a little guidance...
Ever fashion-forward, Barbie is literally shining bright this season. The $50 Barbie digital dress doll features a touch panel with more than a hundred multi-color LEDs. Press Barbie's necklace to watch preset animations or use the stylus to create your own designs.
For kids who love getting all dolled up, the $70 Barbie digital makeover let's them experiment with makeup virtually. Though you will need your own iPad. Download the app, then slip the tablet into the frame. The software uses the forward-facing camera to track faces, and let's kids play eye shadow, blush, masks and more.
For some high-flying fun, try Flutterbye Fairies or Air Hogs Atmospheres. These toys which each run about $28 seem to float magically, but the secret is actually a built-in infrared sensor that detects your hand, so you can guide it without a remote control.
For the mini globetrotter on your shopping list, consider a subscription to Little Passports, an online adventure game. Each month, a package arrives in the mail that teaches kids about a different state or country. A three-month subscription runs $42 dollars.
Even bedtime has gone high-tech with these $30 smart PJs. Parents download the apps, snap a picture with their phone of a set of dots, and you'll see stories or animal fun facts that kids can read and share.
And to add some tech cred to your dance party, there's the Tosy Discorobo, which runs about $40. Pump up the jam and watch this bot boogie to the beat. How could you not love this face?


text: what do you think is a better deal? 97 Pacific Green with 51,046 miles stock except for flowmasters. $12,750 + tax, etc. or 98 Atlantic Blue with 22,412 miles i think it's all stock for $13,995 the WRX is going on ebay today and hopefully will be auctioned off by next week for around $17-18,000. I owe about $12,000 on the WRX, so i should have about $4500ish to spend !! My plans were: 4.30 gears, steeda tri-ax, aluminum driveshaft, pullies, bbk long tube headers, o/r X or H (which gets more power on long tubes, which is louder) and magnapacks. that's about $1800 in parts. Labor is about $1000 for the long tubes alone... I'd say $250 for puttin in the gears, driveshaft is freebie, pullies maybe $100 and exhaust another $150 or so. You think i should throw in a catted H pipe in case emissions come back? SAy i just spent $3400 for all those mods.... so next ?, with around 1500 left to spend, would you Do suspension mods, like lower control arms? or drag radials, rims, orrrrrr 75 shot nitrous kit?


text: I've had this phone since launch. Last night, my boyfriend wakes me up (I don't even know what time it was) and says "I accidentally dropped your phone in some water. What do I do?" We got it apart and into some rice, but this morning, the camera and speaker are water-logged, the power button isn't responding, and the orange light won't turn off. Back into the rice while I go to work. Am I missing anything? If I'm shit out of luck, and this doesn't change, where can I get myself a new/used one to replace it with? (No insurance, of course) A new one will mean taking back everyone's Christmas presents, because I don't have enough cash to cover it right now

Ironically ICit2lol, yes I have. About 23 minutes after I posted this. Hadn't found my way back to log the success. I assumed that when you say "No Sounds" that you will receive *No Sounds*. Foolish, foolish me.
Not as bad as my No Sounds issue with XP.
Did everything, absolutely Everything conceivable short of destroying the PC. But randomly I would still get one of the stupid Windows jingles, and I mean totally randomly.
It was not until one night, when I was sitting on the floor, trying desperately to hammer some learning into my skull ahead of Finals. And the sound happened again. I thought "Arrrrgh But I Didn't Do Anything!!!".
That is when I finally found out that my free *cough* copy of Van Morrison's "Brown Sugar" had the Windows jingle embedded in it. Random play + random sound.

The company said Amazon Macie will support additional AWS storage services later this year. Inside the companyrsquo;s S3 (Simple Cloud Storage Service) platform, Amazon Macie will use natural language processing to discover and classify sensitive data, looking at factors such as personally identifiable information, private keys, and credit card information.
The Macie service will also continuously monitor data access for unusual activity.
Anomalies will trigger alerts to a customerrsquo;s security team, Matt Wood, general manager of artificial intelligence at AWS, said.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
From leading data and research-rich university seats of learning -... Source: RealWire
I don't know why I keep hearing this.
There's simply no evidence to support this fear.
In fact, there's solid evidence that says mobile devices are not a significant—or even moderate—risk factor. Every year, I check the Identity Theft Resource Center's database of personally identifying information (PII) breaches, which require disclosure by both state and federal laws.
I'm sure many losses go unreported, and the database doesn't cover corporate information not containing PII.
But if mobile devices were a conduit to data loss, they should show up in this database. Mobile-linked breaches haven't shown up in previous years, and they didn't show up again in 2016—despite the fact that nearly everyone these days uses a smartphone. What does show up? Paper records, thumb drives, external hard drives, laptops, hacks into databases and storage systems, and successful phishing attempts. Many of the reported breaches involve lost papers, drives, and laptops, where a data thief probably wasn't involved.
But many involve active hacking of IT systems where data theft is the goal.
And some involve insiders (contractors and ex-employees) steal data to use themselves, bring to new employers, or—least often—sell to others. None of the lost, stolen, or compromised devices were smartphones or tablets.
That's probably because encrypted devices need not be reported; they're presumed safe. iPhones and iPads have long encrypted their contents, and professional-grade Android devices have done that in recent years.
In both cases, a simple IT policy can enforce that encryption.
It doesn't take a fancy mobile security tool; Microsoft Exchange can do the trick. Well, there was one data breach involving a smartphone: A former hospital manager, after resigning, took patient-identifying information by forwarding certain documents such as patient lists to her personal email account.
She had work email set up on her personal smartphone—a common BYOD scenario—and simply forwarded the work emails to her personal email account.
That's not a mobile-specific issue—she could have done that from a work computer or a home computer. IT's remedy for this case is the same no matter the device running the email app: Use restricted email accounts where possible and data loss prevention (DLP) tools where not to identify and perhaps prevent such odd email usage.
And don't distribute PII or other sensitive information in routine documents in the first place! Also not in the breach list were the cloud storage services that IT managers fret about after they're done worrying about mobile devices: Apple iCloud Drive, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive. But that omission may be misleading because if a lost (unencrypted) laptop has stored the access credentials for such services—which is common—then the data on that cloud drive is available to a data thief, just as the locally stored data is.
The Identity Theft Resource Center database doesn't go into great detail of each case, but because a lost (unencrypted) laptop is presumed to be a data breach, that breach extends to any data on that laptop, including cloud-accessed data. Still, we didn't see cases of these popular cloud storage services as the specific vector of a data breach—despite frequent IT fears to the contrary. In this day and age, IT pros have plenty of security threats to deal with.
Active hacking is the biggest threat, of course, and should get the lion's share of the resources. The client side should be addressed but not dwelled on. Of the clients in use, mobile is the least risky.
Based on the actual risks, a good place to start is securing laptops, then external drives that people use when they don't have access to a corporate cloud storage service.
Those devices compromise the biggest client risk.
Encryption is your main line of defense for these devices—for cloud storage, too. For the much smaller risk posed by mobile devices, mobile management tools are both mature and effective; there's no excuse not to have them in place already.
Having your laptop stolen is traumatic; having the thief gain access to your sensitive documents could be catastrophic.
To avert the possibility of catastrophe, use an encryption tool to protect your most important files. With Steganos Safe 18, you can create any number of encrypted storage containers.
Steganos combines an impressive variety of security options with an interface that's very easy to use.
Your $39.95 purchase lets you install Steganos Safe on up to five PCs.
This is a one-time cost, which is a common model for encryption tools.
Editors' Choice utility Folder Lock also costs $39.95, and Ranquel Technologies CryptoForge goes for $39.70. You'll pay $45 for Cypherix PC, and $59.95 for CryptoExpert. Note, though, that those are single licenses.
The five-license Steganos package is quite a bargain.
In addition to being available a standalone product, Steganos Safe is an integral part of the full Steganos Privacy Suite.
This suite also includes Steganos Password Manager 18 and a number of other useful tools.
What Is Encryption?
Throughout history, rulers and generals have needed to communicate their plans in secret, and their enemies have devoted great resources to cracking their secret communication systems.
A cipher that simply replaces every letter with a different letter or symbol is easy enough to crack based on letter frequency.
France's Louis XIV used a system called The Great Cipher, which held out for 200 years before anyone cracked it.
Father-son team Antoine and Bonaventure Rossignol conceived the idea of encoding syllables rather than letters, and letting multiple code numbers represent the same syllable.
They also included nulls, numbers that contributed nothing to the cipher.
But even this long-unbroken cipher pales in comparison with modern encryption technology.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the US government's official standard, runs blocks of data through multiple transformations, typically using a 256-bit key.
Bruce Schneier's Blowfish algorithm should be even tougher to crack, as it uses a 448-byte key.
Whatever the size of the key, you must get it to the recipient somehow, and that process is the weakest point in the system.
If your enemy obtains the key, whatever its size, you lose. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) cryptography has no such weakness.
Each user has two keys, a public key that's visible to anybody and a private key that nobody else has.
If I encrypt a file with your public key, you can decrypt it with the private key.
Conversely, if I encrypt a file with my private key, the fact that you can decrypt it with my public key proves it came from me—a digital signature.
Getting Started with Steganos Safe
The Steganos encryption utility's installation is quick and simple. Once finished, it shows you a simple main window that has two big buttons, one to create a new safe and one to open a hidden safe.
When a safe is open, it looks and acts precisely like a disk drive. You can move files into and out of it, create new documents, edit documents in place, and so on.
But once you close the safe, its contents become totally inaccessible. Nobody can unlock it without the password, not even Steganos.
Like Editors' Choice tools CertainSafe Digital Safety Deposit Box, AxCrypt, and Folder Lock, Steganos uses AES for all encryption. However, it cranks the key size up from the usual 256 bits to 384 bits.
CryptoExpert and CryptoForge offer four different algorithms, and Advanced Encryption Package goes over the top with 17 choices.
Few users have the knowledge to make an informed choice of algorithm, so I see no problem sticking with AES.
Steganos warns if you try to close a safe while you still have files from the safe open for editing.
In addition to the basic safe, Steganos can optionally create portable safes and cloud safes.
I'll cover each safe type separately.
Create a Safe
The process of creating a new safe for storing your sensitive documents is quite simple, with a wizard that walks you through the steps. You start by assigning a name and drive letter to the safe—the program's main window shows you the name.
By default, Steganos creates the file representing your safe in a subfolder of the Documents folder, but you can override that default to put it wherever you want, including on a network drive.
Next, you define the safe's capacity, from a minimum of 2MB to a maximum that depends on your operating system. Unlike Cypherix PE and CryptoExpert, with Steganos the initial capacity doesn't have to be a hard limit. You can create a safe whose size grows dynamically.
Folder Lock works a bit differently. While you must set a maximum size at creation, it only uses as much space as its current content requires.
A newly created Cypherix volume requires formatting. With Steganos, the safe is ready for use immediately.
The next step is to select a password.
If you've created a master password for Steganos Password Manager, the password dialog should look familiar.
Steganos rates password strength as you type.
If you wish, you can define the password by clicking a sequence of pictures rather than typing it in.
There's also an option to enter the password using a virtual keyboard.
Folder Lock and InterCrypto Advanced Encryption Package 2016 also offer a virtual keyboard.
Here's a useful option. You can choose to store the password on a removable drive, making that drive effectively the safe's key.
By default, a safe opened in this way closes automatically when you remove the key.
It's not two-factor authentication, as you can still unlock the safe using just the password, but it's certainly convenient.
In a similar situation, you can configure InterCrypto CryptoExpert 8 to require both the master password and the USB key.
Digging into the program's settings, you can simplify the process by disabling advanced wizard options.
If you do so, Steganos chooses default values for each new safe's drive letter and filename.
There's a special option that only appears for safes smaller than 3MB.
If you've chosen an acceptable size, a link appears explaining how you can create a hidden safe.
Steganos can hide a small-enough safe inside a video, audio, or executable file.
After creating the safe, you click it, choose Hide from the menu, and select a carrier file.
Steganos stuffs the entire safe into the carrier, without affecting the carrier's ability to function as a program or audio/video file.
To open it, you click Open a Hidden Safe on the main window, select the carrier, and enter the password. Just don't forget where you hid the safe.
Portable Safes
For additional security, consider creating a portable safe that you only bring out when you need to access it.
The process is similar. You start by selecting the target device, which can be a USB storage device or an optical drive. You define the size and create a password, just as for a regular safe.
But then the process diverges.
Steganos creates and opens what it calls a prepackaging drive, using the drive letter of your choice.
Showing its age, the tool warns that portable safes don't support Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95/98/Me. You click to open the prepackaging drive and drag the desired files into it. When you click Next, Steganos creates the necessary files on the target device. You're done!
If the size of the portable safe is less than about 512MB, Steganos creates what it calls a SelfSafe by default.
As with the hidden option for regular safes, you won't even see this as a choice if your desired size is too large.
The SelfSafe is a single executable file called SteganosPortableSafe.exe that contains both the necessary decryption code and the data representing the safe's contents. Otherwise, it stores the contents in a folder called Portable_Safe and adds a file called usbstarter.exe.
Either way, launching the file lets you enter the password and open the portable safe.
In testing, I did run into one surprise; a portable safe is not completely portable.
It requires the Steganos encryption engine. You can only open and work with your portable safe on a PC where you've installed the program.
Cloud Safes
As noted, you can open a portable safe on any PC where you've installed Steganos Safe.
Creating a cloud safe is another way to share your encrypted files between PCs.
Steganos supports the cloud storage services Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive. Whichever you choose, you must install that cloud service's desktop app.
The help points out that Google Drive and OneDrive must re-sync the entire safe when there's any change, while DropBox can selectively sync changes only.
My test PC didn't have any of the desktop apps installed, and the cloud safe creation dialog reflected this fact.
For testing purposes, I installed the Dropbox app.
As with a regular safe, you select a name and drive letter and then choose the safe's size.
For a cloud safe, you don't get the option to have the safe expand as needed.
Create your password, wait for the safe's initialization, and you're ready to go.
The safe syncs to the cloud each time you close it, and you can use it on any PC that has both Steganos and the proper cloud app installed.
Advanced Features
Click a safe and click Settings to bring up the administration dialog. Here you can change the password, name, and file location for the safe, but that's not all. On the main page of the dialog you can color-code the safe, and choose whether Windows should see it as a local drive or a removable drive. On the Events tab, you can choose whether to open the safe when you log on, and whether to close it on events such as screen saver activation or going into standby.
There's an option to define an action that occurs after the safe opens, and after it closes.
For example, you could configure it to automatically launch a file that resides within the safe after opening it, or automatically make a backup copy after closing it.
Perhaps most interesting is the Safe in a Safe feature.
This defines a separate safe, hidden within the normal safe, occupying a user-defined percentage of available space, and having its own password.
Depending on which password you use to open the safe, you either open the Safe in a Safe, or the original safe that contains it.
Sneaky! But take care.
If you overfill the outer safe, its contents can wipe out the super-secret Safe in a Safe.
Steganos Shredder
It's all well and good to put your most sensitive files into an encrypted safe, but if you leave the unencrypted originals on disk, you haven't accomplished much, security-wise.
Even if you delete the originals, they're not really gone, because their data remains on disk until new data overwrites it.
For true privacy, you must use a secure deletion tool that overwrites file data before deletion, something like this program's file-shredder component.
The easiest way to use the shredder is to right-click a file or folder and choose Destroy from the menu that appears.
Steganos overwrites the file's data once and then deletes it.
This should be sufficient to foil software-based file recovery systems, though it would still be theoretically possible for a hardware-based forensic tool to get back some or all of the data.
Folder Lock, by contrast, lets you choose up to 35 overwrite passes, which is overkill, as there's no added benefit after seven passes.
Launching the full File Shredder from the main window's menu reveals that it does more than just securely delete files.
As with Folder Lock, Steganos can overwrite all the free space on a disk.
Doing so wipes out all traces of previously deleted files, in effect shredding them ex post facto.
This can be a lengthy process, so you may want to use the scheduler to set it for a time when you're not using the computer. You can also schedule daily or weekly free space shredding. Note that if you stop and restart the free space shredding process, it skips quickly past previously shredded areas.
Finally, there's the Complete Shredder nuclear option.
Choose this to completely wipe out all data on a drive, including partition data.
A drive that's been shredded in this way must be formatted before you can do anything with it. Like shredding free space, this process can take quite a while.
By observation, you can't shred the active Windows volume, which makes sense. When I tried, there was no error message, but it did nothing.
Comprehensive Encrypted Storage
Steganos Safe 18 focuses on the singular task of creating encrypted storage containers for your sensitive files, and it does that task very well.
It's easier to use than most of its competitors, and its Safe in Safe and hidden safe options are unique. You can only use its portable safe and cloud safe features on PCs that have the program installed, but your purchase gets you five licenses.
However, Folder Lock does most of what Steganos does, and quite a lot more.
It features include encryption of individual files and folders, secure storage of private data, a history cleaner, and (at an extra cost) secure online backup.
AxCrypt Premium is even easier to use than Steganos, and supports public key cryptography.
And CertainSafe Digital Safety Deposit Box protects your cloud-stored encrypted files against any possibility of a data breach.
These three are our Editors' Choice products for encryption, but Steganos is a worthy contender.

Münich-based software publisher Steganos is all about privacy. The company offers encryption, VPN, secure deletion, and other privacy-related tools. Naturally, the lineup includes a password manager. Steganos Password Manager 18 doesn't have the high-end features that typify the very best password managers, though, and even its more mundane features didn't always work in testing.
Your one-time payment of $24.95 gets you licenses to install the application on up to five PCs. The licenses don't expire, but they also don't automatically update to the next version. You can also tie any number of iOS or Android devices to your account. This pricing is a bit hard to compare with the competition. RoboForm Desktop is also a one-time fee, $29.95 in this case, but it doesn't sync across multiple devices. Dashlane costs $39.99 per year and puts no limits on the number of PC, macOS, Android and iOS devices. Just one dollar per month lets you use LastPass Premium on all your devices. And of course, some competitors, such as LogMeOnce Password Management Suite Premium, are completely free.
Getting Started
When you go to download Steganos, you're likely to find that it comes with a trial of the full Steganos Privacy suite. This suite includes, among other things, a file shredder, several forms of encryption, and the Steganos Online Shield VPN. In this review, I focus strictly on the password manager.
Once you've installed the product, it opens to a big, empty window, with instructions on how to proceed. With Steganos, you can create multiple password databases, which it calls keychains. Multiple users on one PC could have their own keychains. But nothing happens until you select New from the File menu, to create your first keychain.
As with most password managers, Steganos starts you off with the creation of a master password. You can type it using a virtual keyboard, or create it using the unusual PicPass feature. I'll go into detail about those below. As you type in your password, Steganos fills in five lock icons, and displays a description of your password's strength. At one lock, it says, "This password can probably be guessed." If you make it to five locks, it declares, "This password cannot be identified by intelligence agencies." Interestingly, it also reports the number of word fragments found in the password.
There's also an option to store the master password on a USB device. This isn't precisely two-factor authentication, since the USB device replaces the master password for authentication. In addition, you can't sync with mobile devices if you choose USB authentication. True Key and LogMeOnce Password Management Suite Ultimate both allow authentication using multiple other factors, without the need for a master password. In fact, passwordless login is the default for LogMeOnce.
Steganos installs the necessary browser extension in Internet Explorer automatically, and there's a menu option to install it in Chrome. Firefox is also supported, but in testing I could not get the extension to load. Even after reinstallation, Firefox reported the extension as corrupt. An Edge extension is in the works, pending approval by Microsoft. True Key by Intel Security is the only competitor I've encountered that has a working extension for Microsoft Edge.
Dashlane, Sticky Password Premium, and most password managers that let you sync your passwords across multiple devices handle syncing internally. Not Steganos. If you want to sync between devices, you must configure it to store your keychain in your existing cloud storage services. It supports Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive, as well as the Europe-centric Magenta Cloud. Setting up the connection is simple enough, and of course your data is encrypted before it's sent to the cloud. Still, this might be a good time to toughen up the password on your cloud storage.
There is one more option for syncing among devices, but it's not something most users would want to mess with. If you choose File export, Steganos saves your data in a portable, shareable form. Importing that data on another PC isn't so tough, but getting it onto an Android or iOS device is a pain.
Password Capture and Replay
Like almost all password managers, Steganos notices when you log in to a secure site and offers to save your credentials. Some products slide in a notification at the top of the browser window, some create a popup within the browser, and others use a totally separate popup. Steganos is among the last group, and I found that its popup consistently got stuck behind the browser. You can give the new entry a friendly name at this time, but you can't assign it to a category.
If you're switching to a new password manager, the ability to import passwords from the product you're leaving behind is a big plus. LastPass can import from more than 30 competitors, and KeePass from nearly 40. Steganos imports from just two, KeePass 2.34 and 1Password; to me these seem like odd choices.
Dashlane, LastPass, Password Boss Premium, and True Key don't just import passwords stored insecurely in your browsers. They also delete those passwords from the browser, and turn off browser-based password capture. Alas, Steganos doesn't import from browsers at all.
When you revisit a secure site, the default behavior is for Steganos to automatically fill in the saved credentials. You can turn off this behavior and manually call on the browser extension when you want it to fill in the data. As is typical, if you have multiple sets of credentials saved, it offers a menu.
While most websites use standard login screens, easily understood by password managers, some of them march to a different drummer. If you run into a login that Steganos doesn't capture automatically, you can do it manually. Just sign out, reenter your credentials, and (in Chrome) choose "Save form to keychain" from the toolbar button's menu. In testing, I found that in IE the equivalent Save Form button did not work. LastPass, Sticky Password, and RoboForm Everywhere 7 have a similar ability to capture passwords on demand.
Many password managers turn your data into a menu of saved websites. Just click the toolbar button and choose a site to both navigate there and log in. With Steganos, you open the main application window and launch from there.
The Steganos application must be running any time you want to use its browser extensions. That's a bit different from many competing products. I kept accidentally shutting it down, when all I really wanted to do was get it out of the way. The correct way to handle that situation is to minimize the application down to its tiny desktop widget. From the widget, you can restore the main window, or drag/drop the username and password for the selected login.
Password Generator
When you're editing one of your saved password entries, you can invoke the built-in password generator to provide a strong new password. However, it's up to you to go to the site and put your new password in place. Steganos doesn't automatically offer the password generator when you're setting up a new online account, either.
The password generator defaults to creating 16-character passwords, which is good. But it only uses uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and digits, by default. I advise adding special characters to the mix. Interestingly, Steganos seeds its random number generator before each password generation event by using your own mouse movements.
Organizing Passwords
As noted, you can assign a friendly name at the time Steganos captures a set of login credentials. That name is what appears in the main window's password list. When you click an item in the list, its details appear at right. You can click Edit to change those details—all except the friendly name. To change that name, you must right-click it in the list.
To start, all your passwords simply appear directly below the root of the tree. If you prefer a more organized approach, you can create any number of categories, which become branches in the tree display. You can even create nested categories, something that few password managers allow. RoboForm, Sticky Password, and LastPass 4.0 Premium are among the few that permit multilevel categories.
I assumed that organizing my saved logins would be a simple matter of dragging them in to the desired category, the way you do with LastPass. It's not. Instead, you right-click the entry and select its new location in the tree.
Portable Edition
With LastPass, Dashlane 4, LogMeOnce, and other Web-centric password managers, you can log into your password database from any computer. Steganos requires installation of its app on a PC, and doesn't make your cloud-connected database available without it.
However, if you anticipate needing to use the app on an unfamiliar computer, you can create a portable edition on any USB device. Just select the keychain, select the device, and you're done. Any future changes you make in the main app don't appear in the portable edition, so you should recreate the portable edition frequently. In addition, all the data in the portable edition is read-only.
PicPass and Virtual Keyboard
Some people have no trouble remembering a strong password based on a favorite song or quote. Others are more visual, and for those people Steganos offers PicPass. When you choose to define or redefine your master password using PicPass, you start with a grid of 36 photos or 36 symbols. You proceed to click on as many of the pictures as you think you can remember, and then repeat that same pattern of picture-clicks.
However, there's a catch. The 36 pictures correspond to the 10 digits and 26 uppercase letters, and your fancy pattern of clicks gets translated into a mundane password like 1UB3OX. Steganos doesn't hide this fact; it even offers to display the generated password. Yes, you can make the PicPass process tougher by having Steganos scramble the picture locations, but doing so just makes it harder for you to get the right sequence. It doesn't make the password itself more resistant to brute-force cracking.
Limited Web Form Filling
Steganos lets you store a very limited set of personal data, little more than name, address, email, phone, and birthdate. There's no option to store multiple profiles such as you get with LastPass, Dashlane, and others. And there's certainly no ability to create multiple instances of data fields the way you can in RoboForm. You can enter data for any number of bank accounts and credit cards, and sync these between your devices, but the app does not use these to fill Web forms.
In testing, I found that the Web form-filling feature worked correctly in Chrome, but didn't work in Internet Explorer. In some cases, it immediately filled personal data into the form's fields. In other cases, I had to select "Fill form now" from the toolbar button's menu.
Mobile Options
If you want to use Steganos for logging into secure sites on your mobile devices, you must configure your account to use one of its cloud storage options. Install the free Steganos Mobile Privacy from the Google Play store or Apple App Store, connect it with your cloud storage, and enter your master password. You're ready to go.
I installed the app on a Nexus 9, just to get a feel for it. The PC edition's tree display is absent, so you have to either dig down to the entry you want or use the handy search box. Tapping an entry opens the corresponding website in the app's internal browser and logs you in. There's no integration with other browsers installed on the device.
Like the portable edition, the mobile edition is read-only. If you want to add or edit password entries, credit card data, or anything else, you must do it on your PC. But if all you want is quick mobile access to your secure websites, it does the job.
You Can Do Better
It's nice to see a password manager that charges a one-time fee rather than a per-year subscription, but there are disadvantages, too. That yearly subscription pays other vendors for things like server space to hold your encrypted data. With Steganos Password Manager 18, you supply that storage yourself, in the form of an account with one of the big cloud storage providers. Steganos also lacks the advanced features found in the very best password managers. In testing, even the simpler features it does contain didn't always work perfectly.
If the low, one-time price really resonated with you, you're probably better off getting one of our top free password managers instead. For those willing to pay a bit, we've identified several password managers worthy of the title Editors' Choice. LastPass 4.0 Premium costs just a dollar a month, and it has tons of features. LogMeOnce Password Management Suite Ultimate 5.2 beats all the competition feature-wise, with some security elements not found in any competitor. Dashlane 4 goes for streamlined ease of use, with advanced features including an actionable password strength report, secure password sharing, and account inheritance.

But a full-scale security suite does much more than just protect against the various types of malware.
Symantec Norton Security Premium contains virtually every security component you can imagine, and a number of them are Editors' Choice products in their own right.
It lets you install Norton security on up to 10 Windows, Android, macOS, and iOS devices.
If you need to protect a large collection of diverse devices, look no further. A 10-license one-year subscription for Norton Security Premium costs $89.99, and includes 25GB of hosted online backup.
Bitdefender Total Security Multi-Device 2017 gives you five licenses for that price, or ten for $10 more. Kaspersky is a little more expensive, with five licenses for $99.99.
And for the same price as Norton, McAfee lets you install protection on every device in your household. Required ReadingMy typical pattern when reviewing a security product line is to start with the standalone antivirus and then summarize the antivirus review as part of my review of the full security suite.
If there's an even bigger mega-suite in the mix, I summarize the entry-level suite review. However, I'm going to take a different path this time. This product has precisely the same excellent security components as Symantec Norton Security Deluxe.
These include top-scoring antivirus, award-winning Android security, no-hassle firewall, consistently accurate phishing protection, a full security suite for macOS, and more.
The Premium edition adds five more licenses along with parental control and online backup, neither of which is tightly coupled to the suite's other components. Please read my review of the Deluxe edition first, then come back here for my evaluation of the added Premium features. Online and Local BackupSecurity suite vendors like to promote that their products include online backup—it gives them a nice check mark in the features table. However, all too many of them simply offer a branded version of some partner product that their users could get for free directly from the partner.
Check Point ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 2017 offers 5GB of backup space that you could just as easily get directly from IDrive, for example. Norton's Windows-specific backup component is a completely in-house product, and sells separately for $49.99 per year. PCMag's Max Eddy didn't think much of Norton Online Backup, comparing it unfavorably with other standalone backup services.
But compared with backup components in other security suites, it looks pretty good. The online backup component comes pre-configured with a default backup set that defines what to back up, where to store backed-up files, and when to run the backup.
It includes files in and below the Documents folder for each user, but specifically omits possibly massive video files and email files by default. You can edit this backup set to fit your own needs, or create any number of additional backup sets. The default destination for your backed-up files is Norton's secure online storage, but you can also back up locally. While CD/DVD backup was removed in this edition due to low usage, any other drive that shows up in Windows Explorer is a fair target.
That includes local hard drives, remote drives, network drives, and even some cloud storage services.
The backup system in Kaspersky Total Security doesn't come with online storage, but you can link it to your Dropbox account. By default, backup occurs automatically when your computer is idle.
That's probably best for ongoing maintenance, but you may want to manually launch the first backup when you're done with your system for the day, as the first time can take a while.
Subsequent backups only transmit new and changed files, so they run much faster. You can also schedule a backup set to run on a weekly or monthly schedule. You can also choose to throttle back the bandwidth used for backup, an option that's only needed if you don't choose to back up during idle time. The restore feature also comes pre-configured with logical defaults.
It restores files from the most recent backup (though you can choose another) to their original locations (though you can select a different destination).
By default, it waits for you to search out the file or files you want to recover. You can optionally browse all backed-up files, or restore the entire backup set.
And you can access your backup sets as if they were local files and folders by opening the Norton Backup Drive in Windows Explorer. Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security Complete also offers 25GB of hosted storage for backing up and syncing files.
It keeps up to ten versions of files and lets you create links to securely share backed-up files.
BullGuard Premium Protection also lets you share files from its 25GB of online backup. Norton just keeps the latest version, and secure sharing has been dropped in the current version.
Few consumers actually used the feature, and it made overall security more complex, according to my Symantec contact. The fanciest backup system in the world won't help if it never gets used. Norton makes backup almost effortless, which is as it should be. Parental ControlYour Norton Security Premium subscription also includes Symantec Norton Family Premier, a $49.99 value if purchased separately. Yes, the combined price of Norton Online Backup and Norton Family Premier is greater than the price of this entire suite, and much greater than the $10 you spend to upgrade from Norton Family Delux.
That's a great deal. As with Net Nanny, Qustodio Parental Control 2015, and other modern parental control systems, all configuration and reporting takes place online, with a small client app on each Windows, Android, or iOS device, to handle local monitoring and enforcement of House Rules.
Sorry, Mac users, this component isn't for you. To get started, you log in to your Norton account online and create a profile for each child.
The profile includes name, birth year, gender, and an optional photo or avatar. You can also add personal information that you don't want the child to share online. Next, you add a device that the child uses or, if it's a PC, the child's Windows user account. You can install the local Norton Family parental control agent on the current device or email a link. Keep going until you've created a profile for each of your kids; there's no specific limit on the number of child profiles or devices. With that task out of the way, it's time to define House Rules for each profile.
First up is Web Supervision, which manages content filtering.
Based on the child's age, Norton selects from the 47 content categories and determines whether to block those categories or just give the child a warning. You can pick your own custom set of categories and choose to block, warn, or just silently monitor.
ContentWatch Net Nanny 7 is even more flexible, letting you choose allow, block, or warn separately for each category. When Norton blocks access to a site, it displays the reason.
The child can send parents a message explaining the attempt to visit the site, or report that the site is categorized incorrectly.
If a child proceeds to the site despite a warning, parents get notification. Norton actually checks page content if necessary.
I found that it allowed access to a short-story website but blocked its erotic stories.
It filters secure (HTTPS) traffic, so kids won't evade it by using a secure anonymizing proxy.
And it didn't cave to a simple three-word network command that disconnects some less-clever parental control systems.
I couldn't find any sites that should have been blocked but weren't. Forcing Safe Search has become difficult now that popular search portals enforce use of HTTS.
Bitdefender and Trend Micro simply dropped that feature from parental control, though Trend Micro Maximum Security attempts to cover up naughty pictures in search results. Norton has taken a different tack.
Search Supervision enforces Safe Search on Ask, YouTube, Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
It does so using a browser extension, so a clever child might work around this restriction. Your child can turn off Safe Search and briefly see inappropriate links or pictures until the browser extension turns it on again. Video Supervision keeps track of the videos your child watches on YouTube or Hulu.
Social Media Supervision simply tracks the existence of your child's Facebook account and reports if the child used a spurious age to set up the account, or posted personal information. All of the components I've mentioned thus far are enabled by default, but Time Supervision is not.
Turning this feature on automatically schedules when the child can use the device and sets a daily maximum for screen time, based on the child's age.
For example, my imaginary 13-year-old's schedule allowed access from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily, and until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Screen time was capped at two hours for weekdays, five hours on the weekend.
If you want to tweak these settings, you must edit each day separately. You can also choose whether to cut off access or just issue a warning. Kids can check their remaining time by clicking the Norton Family icon in the notification area.
There's also an option to send a request for more time.
Android devices can still be used after hours, but Norton prevents all app activity other than calling emergency contacts. Note that time scheduling applies separately to each device the child uses.
The equivalent feature in Net Nanny is cross-device, so your kid can't time out on the PC and just switch to Android. Mobile Parental ControlThree more components become available when you assign an Android device to the child's profile.
Android protection is equivalent to Norton Family Parental Control (for Android). Some mobile parental control systems offer geofencing, meaning you can get notification when your child enters or leaves a specific location. Norton's Location Supervision doesn't do that, but if you enable it the child's device reports its position periodically, and you can view current and past locations on a map. App Supervision lists all non-default apps installed on the child's Android device.
See something you don't like? Just check the box to block use of that app. I couldn't actively test the advanced Text Supervision feature, because my Android test devices all lack cellular data connection. Here's how it works.
In the default Monitored mode, the child can text with any contact that's not specifically blocked. Norton logs all text conversations with unknown contacts. Parents can review the conversations and mark the contact as Blocked or Unmonitored.
In Blocked mode, unknowns can't contact your child at all until and unless you mark them as Unmonitored.
In Unmonitored mode, all contacts not specifically marked as Blocked are permitted, with no logging. If your child uses an iOS device, you can still install Norton's parental control, the equivalent of Norton Family Parental Control (for iPhone). However, there's just not much to it. You do get content filtering, but it only works in the app's internal browser.
During installation, the app explains how to set up Restrictions so your child can't use Safari or Chrome, disable Norton, or download other browsers. Once that's done, you get the full power of Web Supervision. Location Supervision is also available, just as it is on Android.
Video Supervision and Search Supervision both work. However, on an iOS device there's no Time Supervision, Mobile App Supervision, Text Message Supervision, or Social Media supervision.
If you really need full-powered parental control on iOS devices, look to Editors' Choice Kaspersky Safe Kids (for iPhone). Parental Reporting and NotificationSo far I've just talked about how you use Norton to define and enforce House Rules.
The other half of the equation is what Norton calls Activities—the logs of what your children have been up to.
The Activities summary shows the same eight types of supervision, with an overview of the latest activity. You can filter the summary to just look at one device, in which case you'll see a message stating "This feature is not supported" for categories that don't apply to that device. Clicking on one of the panel opens a more detailed view, and in most cases you can drill down even farther.
For example, the Web Supervision summary shows the most-used categories.
Clicking it gets a full list of all sites visited, warned, or blocked.
And clicking a specific site displays that site's categories, a thumbnail, and any message that the child sent.
Search Supervision displays a word cloud of search words in the summary and lists precise search terms when you click. On the Video Supervision summary, you see thumbnails of the videos your child has watched.
Drilling down lists the videos, along with the device used for viewing and a date/time stamp.
And clicking an item in that list lets you view the video's description or jump straight to the video itself. Your Norton Family account can have more than one designated parent—that makes sense, but it's not a common feature. Parents get email notification of quite a few events.
These include visiting a blocked site, sending information that was defined as personal, and installing an app that blocks Norton Family, among other things. You can turn off any or all of these if they get to be too much. As you can see, this is an extremely comprehensive parental control system, its only weakness being the limited iOS support.
As a standalone product, it's an Editors' Choice. A Star-Studded SuiteIf Symantec Norton Security Premium were a movie, it would have a star-studded cast.
Its antivirus component is an Editors' Choice, as is parental control system.
As a separate product, its Android security app is also an Editors' Choice.
Various components earn excellent scores in independent lab tests and in our own tests.
And it even offers a full security suite for macOS, something few competitors accomplish. Norton Security Premium is an Editors' Choice for cross-platform multi-device suites, and it's a great choice as long as its ten licenses suffice for your needs.
If your household needs security for even more devices, consider our other Editors' Choice in this area, McAfee LiveSafe.
It doesn't score as well as Norton in testing, but you can use it on every device in your household, no limits.

School Crossing Guard Saves Child From Abduction
On September - 28 - 2016
LOS ANGELES, CA – A crossing guard at an East Hollywood elementary school was honored on Wednesday for rescuing an 8-year-old girl from an attempted abduction. She may not be very tall, standing at 4 feet 8 inches, but crossing guard Adrian Young used all her might to fight off a woman who attempted to kidnap a child from Alexandria Avenue Elementary School. "The little girl just started screaming, she was like, 'Please, don't let her take me, I don't know her, she's not my mom,'" said Young. "I just told her to grab onto me as tight as she could, and I held onto her and the lady just began to attack me, so I just thought about attacking her to make sure she can't take this little girl."

By the time you finish reading this, 15 children will have been abused; In the next five minutes, 30 more; Within the next hour, 360 more; And by tonight, close to 8,000+ children will have suffered from abuse, 5 of which will die. Child abuse has increased 134% since 1980 and is now considered a worldwide epidemic. The high jump in child abuse deaths and the shocking increase in statistics highlights the frightening lack of public knowledge.

Comparison between the Baroque and Classical Eras
Spanning from 1600-1750 the Baroque Era of music one was one of the most revolutionary periods in music history. The era saw the development of functional tonality, brought new instrumental playing techniques and more elaborate and complex compositions. It featured many very well known composers, such as Bach, Handel and Vivaldi and brought about developments in musical terms and concepts which are still used today.
Baroque Era
Spanning from 1750-1825 the Classical Era of music was of much contrast to its predecessing periods of music history. Pieces composed in the era featured much structural clarity and sounded very balanced. The era featured many famous composers including Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, and saw the development and establishment of many of today's common musical forms.
Classical Era
One of the main differences between the Baroque and Classical eras is the mood of the compositions. In the Baroque era, the mood stays constant throughout the entirity of the piece. This contrasts greatly to the mood in pieces of the classical era as it will often change throughout the piece.
Another contrasting feature of both the Baroque and Classical eras is the rhythmic patterns featured in each era's compositions. The Classical era saw a new sense of rhythmic flexibility not seen before in the Baroque era, which had a regular continuous motion of rhythm in it's pieces.
One of the major differences between the Baroque and Classical eras is the texture. In the Baroque era the texture of the compositions was polyphonic, meaning it has more than one melodic parts. This greatly contrasts to the Classical era in which the texture was homophonic, meaning there was one main melody played with accompanying parts.
Another difference in characteristics between the Baroque and Classical eras is the melody. In the Baroque era only one melodic idea was used throughout a piece. Which compared to the melody in the Classical era, was very different. In which the melody was short and balanced, and pieces contained two or more contrasting themes.
Classical Era
Yet another difference between the Baroque and Classical eras is the dynamics used in pieces. In the Baroque era pieces were composed using terraced dynamics, which means there were very sudden changes in dynamic levels and no crescendos or decrescendos. This, in comparison to the dynamics used the Classical era is very contrasting because, in the it a wide range of dynamic levels were used in pieces, as were crescendos and descrescendos.
In the Classical era many of the new forms developed had similar aspects to those of the Baroque era. For example Theme and Variations is similar to Fugue, due to the fact that in both, one main theme is repeated and varied throughout the piece.
Yet another form of the Classical era, the Classical Concerto, is a development of a Baroque form, Concerto Grosso and Ritornello. This is because, in the Concerto Grosso the orchestra is playing against a small group of soloists, which is very similar to the Classial Concerto in which a soloist plays with the orchestra.

-Featured the upper strings (violins and violas)
-Treated instruments as interchangable
-Different instruments were chosen to gain different tone colours
-Standardised orchestra- strings, woodwind, brass, percussion
-Strings most important
-Woodwind section added contrast
-Brass brought power and 'umph' to passages
-Timpani brought rhythmic emphasis
-Up to 60 musicians
-Instruments were not treated interchangably
There are many contrasting features between the Baroque and Classical era's timbre. The main difference is that the Baroque era's flexible instrumentation of the orchestra became standardised in the Classical era to four sections- strings, woodwind, brass and percussion. Another difference is the size of the orchestra, as the number of musicians in the Baroque era was considerably smaller than that of the Classical era. In the Baroque orchestra, often intsrtuments were treated as interchangable, unlike in the Classical era where each instrument had a special role to play.
La Primavera (Spring), From the Four Seasons
Concerto for violin and string orchestra, no. 1 by Antonio Vivaldi
The piece 'Spring' by Vivaldi is a great example of Baroque music as it contains many of the general characterisitics from this era. It's energetic, light, tuneful melodies and homophonic texture really depict the arrival of springtime.
Firstly, the piece is in Ritornello form. The work opens with the main Ritornello:
Which is repeated in different variations throughout the piece, in perticular using terraced dynamics, a typical characteristic of Baroque music. Another typical characteristic of Baroque music featured in this piece is the basso continuo, which is played on the harpsicord throughout the entirity of the piece. Also, during this work a solo group of instruments plays against the orchestra, and the theme of the piece remains constant.
Symphony no. 94 in G Major (Surprise) by Joseph Haydn
The composition 'Symphony no. 94 in G Major' by Joseph Haydn is a great example of music from the Classical era. It is in Theme and Variations form and features for variations of the theme:
The piece contains many of the general characterisitcs of Classical music, one of which is having a wide range of dynamics. For example it starts at a very soft volume level and after repeating the theme dramatically, and suddenly loudens with a bang, surprising the audience. Another characteristic of Classical music which this piece has is it's homophonic texture. In the piece the violins play the main tune, whilst the other instruments play lower accompanying parts around them.

Baroque Era
Classical Era
-Emphasis on chords and the bass part
-Basso Continuo (commonly played by harpsicord, organ or any low registered insrument)
-End of the Basso Continuo
In the Baroque era emphasis was put on chords and the bass parts of pieces. This resulted in the formation of the Basso Continuo, playing chords in a lower register and then improvising harmonies above them. This gave Baroque pieces harmonic structure. During the Classical era, the Basso Continuo was abandoned as more pieces were being composed for amateur musicians, and it was a very hard art to master. As well, composers of the Classical era wanted to have control over the accompanying parts of their compositions, not just have them improvised.

By the time the 31st edition of the Empire State Games had wrapped up in Binghamton and other parts of the Southern Tier, many of Syracuse's best athletes had some golden hardware to bring home.
In venues ranging from the track to the soccer field, from the wrestling mat to the rowing course, the Salt City's finest came up with wins. Here is a recap of how they fared.
On the field at SUNY-Binghamton, no one could touch the Central region open men's team as it blazed its way to the gold medal — and two Nottingham graduates, Shaman Mason and Brandon Jackson, led the way.
To start with, Jackson had two goals and Mason scored once as Central beat Western 4-1, and both of them scored again in a second-half rally to beat Hudson Valley 3-1. Mason would strike once more in Sunday's championship game, his first-half goal the game-winner as Central blanked New York City 2-0 for the championship.
Emmanuel Chanelo (Corcoran) played on Central's scholastic men's team, which finished fourth as it lost the bronze-medal game to Western 2-1. Brooke Barbuto (Corcoran), Melanie Cathcart (Faith Heritage) and Nikki Dudley played with the Central open women, who could not win a game in three tries.
Track and Field
Fresh off a great track career at Henninger, Andre Britton earned a gold in the open men's 200-meter dash at SUNY-Binghamton.
Overtaking New York City's Adrian Crichlow down the stretch, Britton won with a time of 21.80 seconds to Crichlow's 21.89. A day later, Britton just missed a medal in the 100-meter final, finishing fourth in 10.90 seconds, just 0.04 seconds from reaching the podium.
Collise Ray finished sixth in the open men's 110-meter high hurdles in 15.54 seconds. Britton's one-time teammate, Greg Spears, reached the 200-meter scholastic men's final but was forced to scratch. Dwight Hicks (Nottingham) took eighth in the shot put and Krystal Boyd helped the Central open women's 4×100 relay team finish in fourth place.
Over at SUNY-Binghamton's West Gym, Fowler's Elijah Graham grabbed the gold in the scholastic freestyle 275-pound division. Undefeated all the way to the finals, Graham secured his title by beating John Wilkinson (Long Island) 3-1, 2-0. David Minney could not make it to the medal round at Greco-Roman 154 pounds, while James Chaplin met the same fate in the open freestyle 275-pound division.
Working on her own at Dorchester Park in Whitney Point, Marilyn Hartman won the open women's singles title. Hartman claimed her gold medal with a time of eight minutes, 12 seconds, beating Rosa Kemp (Hudson Valley) by a healthy 14-second margin.
LeMoyne College star Laurence Ekpirigin and former Faith Heritage standout Aaron Hall keyed the Central open men's team's run to a bronze medal at SUNY-Binghamton's Events Center.
Ekpirigin had 23 points in both of Central's first two games, which were split, then 15 points in a loss to New York City. Hall had at least seven points in all four games, including Sunday's 78-76 win over Hudson Valley that produced the bronze.
Central's open women, which included former Syracuse University star Fantasia Goodwin and Katie Kelley (Corcoran), routed Long Island 92-45 in its opener — but then got sent home after some players violated conduct rules while housed on the SUNY-Binghamton campus.
A Central open team that featured, among others, LeMoyne stars Sarah Reed and Lindsey Spaziani, went 3-2 in round-robin play, then used a three-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning Saturday to beat Hudson Valley 6-5 and win the bronze medal.
With Nick Burger on the roster, Central's open men's team earned a silver medal at Broome County Arena with 251.10 points, not far from Western's winning total of 255.80 points. Burger was also 12th in the all-around competition.
Kelsey Cook helped Central's open women take fourth place, less than four points out of a medal. Peter Bovalino, Neil Damron and Jamal Holmes all took part with Central's scholastic men as they also finished fourth, as Damron, on his own, placed fifth on the pommel horse (8.60) and seventh in three other individual apparatus events.
At SUNY-Binghamton's West Gym, Zach Hisert combined with Chris Osterwald (Greene)for a bronze medal in synchronized diving with 209.64 points, this after an 11th-place finish in the individual three-meter springboard. Justine Miller-Khanzadian gained sixth place in the open women's three-meter springboard with 243.80 points.
Corcoran star Steve Boronczyk saw action throughout the ESG tournament. Central went 3-2 in round-robin play, which helped them earn a place in the bronze-medal game before Western beat them, 3-1, for that honor.
Derek Magno and Jeremy Macri represented Syracuse at Owego Bowl, where they participated in a variety of events. Macri finished 12th among individuals with a total of 715, while Magno was 15th with 698.
Brad Crosby rode on the streets of the Southern Tier in four days of competition. Individually, Crosby's best finish was a sixth in the individual time trial, which he covered in 23 minutes, 33.87 seconds.
Ice Hockey
Even though Shannon Flattery and Aubrey Fischer had solid all-around efforts, the Central scholastic women's team went 0-4-1 at Broome County Arena, only salvaging a 2-2 tie with New York City.
In the ESG meet at SUNY-Cortland, Summer Schmitt earned sixth place in the scholastic (age 15 and under) 200-meter individual medley in a time of 2:51.30, then got seventh in the 200-meter backstroke in 2:40.74. She also helped the 4×100 medley relay team finish fourth.
Peter Neiner was an at-large member of Central's open men's team, which again had difficulty finding a medal as it went 0-6 at Davis College in Vestal.

New electronic message board coming to front of Eden Elementary
An electronic message board will soon inform residents about events in the Eden Central School District.
Superintendent Sandy Anzalone announced during the Board of Education meeting Wednesday night that a message board will be installed in front of Eden Elementary School today.
The $17,000 message board will not have flashing or scrolling words, she added during the meeting in the junior-senior high school's cafeteria.
On another topic, she said the district received more than 150 responses to a survey on the district's website about the emergency drill conducted May 28.
"We are going to continue these drills," she said.
Officials also recognized the seniors with the three highest grade averages: Laura Harms, the valedictorian; Andrew Feldman, the salutatorian; and Andrew Pszonak.
Board members also heard from Marisa Fallacaro, athletic director and softball coach, about the softball team's state championship. The Buffalo Bisons have invited the team to throw the ceremonial first pitch before the game at 1:05 p.m. next Thursday 26 against the Columbus Clippers.
Teams in the district have won 12 state championships.
