A boy is careless about his choice of friends, and will often run with a group of friends who will get him into trouble. In fact, the quickest way for you to get in trouble and get off in the weeds is to hang with the wrong crowd.
There are a lot of things worse than spending Friday night at home with your parents, and one of them is rolling with a group of guys who will take you places you do not want to go.
In contrast, a man picks his friends very carefully, and only runs with those who are making good life decisions and moving in the same direction he wants to go.
I can't tell you how many guys out there are basically good guys but got hooked up with the wrong circle of friends, and got pulled into stuff that left them either in big trouble or going nowhere in life.
"My best friend in high school, Wayne, shared my faith and values, and we shared some of the same interests. For instance, we played high school basketball together. We enjoyed a terrific friendship, made good choices, had fun, and stayed out of trouble.
"When I got to college at Stanford, I tried out for the freshman basketball team as a walk-on. I got cut, which was no surprise to people who had seen me play, but before I got cut, one day at practice I met the guy, Bruce, who became my best friend through college and beyond. He played high school basketball, by the w...
"Anyway, Bruce and I struck up a fast friendship and hung out together. We soon got to know a man by the name of Paul, a guy who was a little bit older and was doing an internship at Peninsula Bible Church. He'd been assigned to the Stanford campus.
"Paul began meeting three days a week in the morning with Bruce and me for Bible study, discipleship and prayer. This went on for both our freshman and sophomore years. Those two years were probably the most important years of my life in terms of locking down the spiritual and moral values that would guide me for the r...
"And Paul performed the wedding ceremony for me and my bride. Friends matter."
Solomon says, "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Prov. 18:24).
Look for a friend like that, pray for a friend like that, and don't rest until you find a friend like that. And perhaps most importantly, be a friend like that. You'll never regret it.
An NFL star once said his message to young athletes is this: "Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future." For a bright future tomorrow, pick good friends today.
Father, I pray that you will bring good, godly friends into my son's life who will help him and encourage him as he grows to maturity. And I pray that you will make him a friend like that to others. By your grace, may he know the blessing of close, godly masculine friendship in the years to come. In Jesus' name, amen.
More than 2 million users possibly at risk.
It seems that CCleaner, one of PCWorld’s recommendations for the best free software for new PCs, might not have been keeping your PC so clean after all. In an in-depth probe of the popular optimization and scrubbing software, Cisco Talos has discovered a malicious bit of code injected by hackers that could have affecte...
Editor’s note: This article was first published on September 18, 2017, but was updated on Sept. 21 with details about the malware targeting specific technology companies for industrial espionage.
On Sept. 13, Cisco Talos found that the official download of the free versions of CCleaner 5.33 and CCleaner Cloud 1.07.3191 also contained “a malicious payload that featured a Domain Generation Algorithm as well as hardcoded Command and Control functionality.” What that means is that a hacker infiltrated Avast Pirifor...
Cisco Talos suspects that the attacker “compromised a portion of (CCleaner’s) development or build environment and leveraged that access to insert malware into the CCleaner build that was released and hosted by the organization.” As such, customers’ personal information was not at risk.
In a blog post by vice president of products Paul Yung, he states that the company identified the attack on Sept. 12 and had taken the appropriate action even before Cisco Talos notified them of their discovery. Yung says the attack was limited to CCleaner and CCleaner Cloud on 32-bit Windows systems—fortunately, most ...
Most reassuringly, Yung states that Avast was seemingly able to disarm the threat before it was able to do any harm. The intent of the attack is unclear at this time, though Avast says the code was able to collect information about the local system.
Update: On September 21, Avast revealed that the malware was designed to deliver a second-stage payload to infected computers in specific organizations, and at least 20 machines across eight companies contacted the command and control server. “Given that the logs were only collected for little over three days, the actu...
Cisco Talos also studied the malware’s command server and reports that it was attempting to infiltrate PCs in technology organizations, including Intel, Samsung, HTC, VMWare, Cisco itself, and others. You can see the full list at right. Cisco Talos suspects the attackers planned to use the malware to conduct industrial...
Personal users can download CCleaner 5.34 from Avast’s website if they haven’t already done so. Previous releases are also still available on the company’s website, but the infected version has been removed from the company’s servers. You’ll also want to perform an antivirus scan on your computer. If you’re affected, C...
The impact on you at home: While personal users within the target area shouldn’t see any impact from this attempted attack, it’s still a scary notion. While Avast got in front of the issue and resolved it without incident, smaller companies might not be able to react so quickly. For example, earlier this year, it was f...
8:39 PM: Our routine check of the King County Jail roster tonight shows the current list of inmates includes Merle Buchanan, who’s been wanted for weeks in connection with the double murder in White Center two months ago. The King County Sheriff’s Office announced on January 25th that they were looking for him, almost ...
11:18 PM: We asked KCSO’s public-information officer Sgt. Ryan Abbott for more details. He says Buchanan turned himself in to Seattle Police. He is expecting more information on Monday, which is also when we’ll be checking with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to follow the case through the courts.

It’s posted on all the news channels too. Finally got this dangerous guy off the streets.
Here’s hoping the families of the victims get their justice.
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) - Kitsap County is allowing people who break laws while in a state of mental health crisis to avoid a criminal record.
The Kitsap Sun reported Monday (https://bit.ly/2jkv7pg ) that since starting in November, eight people are have been diverted to the county’s Behavioral Health Court. The program provides people accused of crimes as a result of their mental illness with treatment and support plans. If participants comply with their tre...
Chief Deputy Prosecutor Kevin Kelly says the program isn’t an easy out for participants, who could be released from jail with little supervision if they instead pleaded guilty. He says the behavioral health program instead aims to help mentally ill residents of Kitsap County who are looking to better themselves.
Washington Wizards starting forward Markieff Morris, facing felony assault charges in Phoenix, is expected to have sports hernia surgery Friday and could miss at least the NBA preseason.
Morris, 28, recently received the diagnosis, according to a person familiar with the situation, after spending parts of the summer working out in preparation for the upcoming season. In July, Morris traveled to Las Vegas and participated in informal workouts with several teammates. He then returned to Washington and co...
Morris and four other men, including twin brother Marcus, are facing charges stemming from a 2015 incident outside a Phoenix recreation center. If found guilty, there is the possibility of prison time as well as a minimum suspension from the NBA of 10 games. The Morris brothers and one other defendant have pleaded not ...
This is not the first time Morris has endured a sports hernia.
In 2010, before the start of Morris's junior season at the University of Kansas, he had hernia surgery. After that procedure, Morris missed only preseason practices and returned to play in Kansas exhibition games. He went on to start 34 of 38 games and post the best season of his collegiate career. Morris and his broth...
Now entering his eighth season in the NBA, Morris might begin the year on the injured list, and the timing dampens the start of what should be a promising season for the Wizards.
Among the top Eastern Conference teams, the Wizards boast the most continuity — which the team solidified this summer by re-signing Otto Porter Jr. to a max contract and giving a hefty four-year extension to John Wall. With those two, alongside Morris, Bradley Beal and Marcin Gortat, Washington will return the only sta...
Morris, the self-described "enforcer" of the group, provided a crucial ingredient to Washington's success. Last season, his first full year with the Wizards, Morris was the overlooked X-factor during the team's bounce-back in the standings. As the team produced a 12-4 record in January, Morris contributed five double-d...
In addition to being a 6-foot-10 power forward who can play inside and out, as well as anchor the second unit, Morris provides the Wizards with a degree of toughness. He breathed life into the first-round playoff matchup when he played bully-ball against then-Atlanta forward Paul Millsap. After the Wizards' Game 1 vict...
In the second round against Boston, Morris showed his mettle in recovering from an ugly ankle sprain in Game 1 and playing the remainder of the series. As the Wizards depended heavily on the starters in Game 7, Morris played nearly 42 minutes and produced a double-double, though Washington lost, 115-105.
Dish Network has signed a deal with Nielsen for digital TV measurement of Sling TV, its digital live, linear TV network, which includes addressable advertising insights for Sling and Dish TV, the satellite TV network provider.
This means Sling will be measured by Nielsen’s Digital Ad Ratings -- comparable to TV measurement -- for measuring targeted demographics.
Sling is also being included in Nielsen Digital in TV Ratings, which will be added into overall TV C3/C7 measurement. C3/C7 measurement is the average commercials minute rating plus three or seven days of time=shifted viewing.
Sling joins other digital streaming services, including YouTubeTV and Hulu with Live TV -- two services that signed up with Nielsen over a year ago.
The deal for Dish TV and Sling TV through its Dish Media Sales unit also gives access to Nielsen Buyer Insights and Nielsen Catalina Solutions for viewership based on consumer purchasing behavior to support addressable advertising campaigns.
Kemal Bokhari, general manager of data and analytics for Dish Media Sales, stated that Nielsen provides a number of measurement services in which brands transact business and the deal gives Dish more choice to its advertisers.
The mines were named an Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site in 2001, according to site project manager Ed Hathaway. This label, usually granted to areas which both pose a risk to nearby human and wildlife populations and are also too costly for local parties to clean, makes a site eligible for federal fundin...
The Elizabeth Mine is part of a larger series of three mines along the Orange County copper belt. The other two mines — Ely Mine and Pike Hill Mine — are also under investigation by the EPA, but because the Elizabeth Mine is the largest and most well-known location, it is the agency’s top priority, Hathaway said.
The danger posed by the mine is two-fold.
“The primary threat is to the aquatic environment,” Hathaway said, explaining that the “leaching acid and ... copper” can be highly damaging to nearby streams and wildlife.
“We had locations there where people have gone in and [walked around] and then come back, and then there’s 40 feet of rock [sliding] off the side of a cliff, burying the location,” he said.
This problem has been exacerbated by blasting at the site, which was contracted out to Maine Drilling and Blasting.
“They drill holes and they fill them with blasting powder and they blast the rock,” Hathaway explained.
According to Hathaway, though the EPA has actively discouraged visits to the site since it was named a priority in 2001, trespassing continues to be a problem.
Though the Elizabeth Mine’s lake is no longer accessible, there are still other swimming locations for Dartmouth students and Upper Valley residents to visit during the hot summer months.
“There are plenty of other places to swim that are wonderful, beautiful [and] safer,” assistant director of outdoor programs Rory Gawler ’05 said.
“There is no reason to go [swim] somewhere that has safety hazards,” Gawler said.
Correction appended (July 7, 2018): This article has been updated to clarify a quote by Gawler and to make clear that copper is not a white metal.
As the days become shorter and the air becomes cooler, it’s time to embrace autumn style. But that doesn’t mean covering up in boring coats, dressing in all black and letting your personal style fade with the summer. Instead, it means wearing what you love – and what makes you feel great – no matter what the weather ma...
Piling on the layers and investing in fashionable yet functional outerwear is key for staying warm when the temperature drops. And the new collection at House of Fraser offers a one-stop destination for new-season pieces to add to your wardrobe.

During his speech in Beijing University, Medvedev stressed the importance of co-operation between the two countries.
“The relations between our countries have reached a totally new level in terms of intensity and quality. It’s important that they are based on mutual understanding and trust”.
Medvedev also pointed out that the UN’s role should be to resolve international problems.
“Russia and China have similar views on democracy: we believe that international law cannot be violated and that the role of the UN is crucial. Of course we agree that the organisation may be modernised due to changes of time, but this should only improve its efficiency and strengthen its opportunities to respond to mo...
Earlier, Medvedev and his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao have signed a number of agreements, including a one-billion-dollar deal to build a nuclear energy plant.
Both leaders criticised U.S. plans to set up a missile defence system in Europe, saying it undermines world stability.

We all know the old saying about the road to hell being paved with good intentions. The EU is busy building a three-lane highway that it leads to a particularly dark place. Three EU Directives recently approved of under judicial review have wide-ranging impact on the internet, affecting global commerce as well as free-...
Although each of these Directives speak to different aspects of the internet, the commonality — and perhaps the biggest problem — is that all of them push the notion of extraterritoriality. Put more simply, the EU is trying to flex its censorship muscles around the world.
The three issues are the “Right to Be Forgotten,” the “General Data Protection Regulations” (GDPR), and recently announced anti-hate speech regulations. Each of these doctrines have some degree of moral merit. Given the widespread abuse of the internet, it’s easy to be sympathetic to many people who suffered that abuse...
Unfortunately, the EU has decided to redesign the information superhighway with a series of landmines, speed bumps and exit ramps to Speech Jail.
This doctrine has been around for several years. Its core purpose is to protect individuals from having old (and ostensibly no longer relevant) information about them made available to the public.
The most famous RTBF case is Google Spain SL, Google Inc. v. AEPD and Mario Costeja González. In 2010, a minor businessman of no public import found that a Google search would bring up a link to a 1998 newspaper public notice that stated he was in arrears in property tax. Although the tax issue had long been settled, t...
González filed a complaint with Spain’s Data Protection Authority (each EU nation has one) who ruled that the old news about his tax arrears served no public interest, and interestingly, did not demand removal of the story from the newspaper’s archive, but held that Google must block it from the national domain on the ...
The case went to the European Court of Justice in 2014, who upheld the ruling that Google must de-index the article from the country specific domain “Google.es.” Of course, users can easily search the “mothership” of Google.com and still find the article.
Flash forward to today, where a French citizen filed a similar complaint with CNIL (France’s DPA) in 2016. That agency went further than the Spanish agency and found that not only did the old article lack public interest and damaged the privacy rights of the complainant but held that limiting a de-indexing order to a c...
Thus, CNIL ordered Google to de-index the article worldwide. Google is not taking this lying down, and argued to the European Court of Justice this month that “the French CNIL’s global delisting approach seems to be very much out on a limb,” a lawyer representing Google told The Next Web.
In 2016, CNIL slapped Google with a fine of $116,000 for failing to remove the links from its global websites. Judgment may be rendered within the next several months.
One of the most problematic aspects of applying RTBF globally is that it leaves the determination of what is and isn’t in the public interest to bureaucrats instead of journalists and readers. Several years ago, when the Directive was being drafted I debated a Eurocrat in favor of the law at a media law conference in L...
I asked him, “Do you have any children?” He replied, “yes.” I then asked, “Do you mean to tell me that if you were taking your children to a new dentist you wouldn’t want to know whether he had been convicted of child abuse twelve years earlier?” He had no answer.
The end result? Citizens, bloggers, academics and journalists seeking information would no longer have the “one-stop shop” of Google and would have to search hundreds of newspaper or blogs’ archives to find relevant information. They are all lazy enough already (myself included), and as hard as it is to justify Google’...
Again, the good intentions are there: the GDPR requires that companies who conduct business online have an obligation to tell readers and consumers specifically what data about them is collected, what the company does with that data, how long it is held, with whom they share that data, and they must provide an opportun...
In a time where you and your data have become commodified, apprising consumers of all the facts sounds like a good idea.
Violators face fines of up to 4 percent of annual global revenue. For Facebook, that would be $1.6 billion; for Google, $4.4 billion, according to Wired.
Speech-stifling proposals are moving ahead in the EU under the guise of combating terrorism online.
Well, gosh, that sounds great, doesn’t it? I mean, who could possibly support “terrorist content?” (Let’s leave Bill Ayers and Linda Sarsour out of this for the time being.) But dig a little deeper and we see that this proposal is a trojan horse full of Thought Police.
The EU began structuring the required protocols to which Juncker is referring as early as March, and that underlying policy discussion goes much farther than just banning Al-Qaeda recruiting videos. The underlying protocols also seek to defeat “incitement to hatred and violence.” And that’s where the train goes off the...
You read that right: one hour. I’ve waited that long to find out why my cable TV service is out. You think anyone can reach a human being at one of these data giants in an hour?
Most Americans find the idea of foreign law being applied to them as repugnant. At least in the sphere of free speech, Congress and the courts have agreed that to a large extent such judgments are not enforceable against American entities.
