Buying your own botnet costs as little as $250

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - The publisher of "Life & Style" and "In Touch," which is being sued by Tom Cruise for printing that the "Jack Reacher" star had abandoned his daughter Suri following his divorce from Katie Holmes, has fired back at the actor's suit. In an answer to Cruise's defamation lawsuit, filed in October, Bauer Publishing Co. says that its reporting is "substantially true." Bauer's answer, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in California, also asserts a number of defenses, including that it's protected by the First, Fifth and 14th amendments of the U.S. ...

Messages home from our Yorkshire troops

At the centre of the war in Afghanistan, West Yorkshire?s brave serving troops still have their family and friends in their hearts and minds in the run up to Christmas.

British soldiers in the war zone were sent over five times more letters and parcels than usual this week, with loved ones posting around 18,000 bags of mail weighing over 130 tonnes.

Servicemen and women are keener than ever to pass on their Christmas messages as they work through the festivities in blustery desertscapes.

Trooper Jamie Beales, who is from Leeds, is currently serving at Main Operating Base Price, near Gereshk, Afghanistan.

He said: ?I wish all my family and friends a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

?Also happy birthday to my dad and sister Paige.?

Leeds Trooper Jack Taylor is serving with the Nahr-e-Saraj (NES) District Advisory Team.

His message said: ?Merry Christmas to my girlfriend Private Bianca Smith ? looking forward to R and R and some festive activities.?

Another local soldier out with the NES District Advisory Team, Lance Corporal Scott Rothery, from Leeds, added: ?Merry Christmas and I?m looking forward to being a Dad and to R and R.?

Their messages come as items including new socks, gloves and sweets flood into Camp Bastion, Afghanistan.

The gifts are dished out to units operating in smaller, remote bases by helicopter and trucks.

Yesterday, bags of mail were stacked up at the passenger handling facility in Bastion, known as ?mini Heathrow?, ready to be flown to patrol bases and checkpoints in time for Christmas.

Guardsman Tom Oates, from Leeds, is currently serving in Forward Operating Base Oulette.

He said: ?I wish all my family a very merry Christmas and a happy new year and a special Christmas to my girlfriend Sarah, I love you loads. See you all next year.?

Fellow Forward Operating Base Oulette worker Lance Bombardier David Mackwell, from Leeds, said: ?I wish all my family back home a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. Have a drink on me?.

Castleford Lance Corporal Colin Walstow, who is serving in Patrol Base Hayatullah, Afghanistan, said: ?Merry Christmas to everyone back home, hope it?s a good one and be sure to have a drink for me.?

As well as packages and cards, the army has also processed around 11,500 e-blueys, an electronic way of sending a letter, over the festive period, which can be sent electronically from the UK and are printed in Camp Bastion.

The machines fold up and seal the letters to ensure privacy is maintained.

Debate : Is Social Media Good Or Bad For Our Kids? + Interesting ...

It is obvious that social media websites are taking over the internet and that new users are signing up every second. Social media sites are by far some of the fastest growing businesses online. It seems that our generation cannot get enough of social media and what it has to offer. No matter how many types of social media sites are out there, new ones keep appearing and capture our attention.

What makes these places so popular? What is different about each of them?

CRAZY FACT! : Did you know that 23% of Facebook users check their accounts 5 or MORE times DAILY?

Well each is different in its own way but they all offer the same benefit which is to share personal content with others worldwide. How great is it knowing that you can take a photo or write a post, share it with thousands (or millions) of people, receive comments, and interact with others at the same time? It is amazing how quickly internet content can become popular or ?viral?. Once you share something unique with a social media website and it takes off, you can become famous overnight. Maybe that is part of the reason why today?s youth is so obsessed with social media. Or maybe there are other reasons.

There are millions of teens and even pre-teens on these websites who are interacting with each other and posting content every second. Sharing photos and thoughts with friends can be fun and creates great discussions but when does it go too far? How many of these kids are actually using social media for the right reasons? I see social media websites as a way to share your personality with others, connect with people who share similar interests, and stay updated with friends and family. Do your kids use these sites for these reasons??

So social media can be very useful and such a great tool, but it can also create problems in someone?s life if used the wrong way. You will read in the news about kids bullying others on Facebook and how it even leads to suicide. You may also read that kids are lashing out at their parents publicly. The negative list goes on and on, but who?s to blame (kids, parents, or both)? When should parents step in and how strict should they be? What should the age requirement be to use a social media website??Is social media good OR bad for our kids? These are more questions I have heard and am asking all of you.

Please give your honest, straight forward opinion on this subject. Thank you for reading!

Funeral held for boxer 'Macho' Camacho in NYC

NEW YORK (AP) ? Hundreds mourned Hector Camacho on Saturday in the landmark East Harlem church the fighter attended as a boy, and hundreds more cheered and shouted "Macho" when his coffin was carried out and loaded into a hearse afterward.

"Hector lived the American dream, to come from simple beginnings and to be known by thousands of people," the Rev. Frank Skelly said. "He could lift us up, and he could break our hearts. He could inspire us and at times disappoint us."

Camacho, a native of Puerto Rico who moved to East Harlem as a child, was shot in the face Nov. 20 while sitting in a parked car with a friend outside a bar in Bayamon, his hometown in the U.S. territory. The friend, Adrian Mojica Moreno, died at the scene. The boxer died after doctors removed him from life support.

Police have said they have suspects but have not yet arrested anyone for the shooting.

There was no mention of Camacho's bloody end during the service at St. Cecilia, an imposing brick and terra cotta church that is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Skelly, the church's former pastor, said he remembered Camacho as a child in the 1970s.

"I really didn't see much of Hector after he left our school, so I still see him as a little boy, and I think that's how God sees him," the priest said. "Everything else is not important."

Justin Camacho, one of the fighter's four sons, read a scriptural passage.

The 50-year-old Camacho's coffin was carried into the church draped in a Puerto Rican flag; the flag was replaced by a white cloth adorned with a cross during the service.

Mourners waved flags and hoisted newspapers with Camacho's picture on the front page.

"I still can't believe it happened to him," said Tanya Espana, who met Camacho in the 1990s through a friend and brought a book of snapshots that documented their friendship. "Macho was very caring, very loving."

Known for his flamboyant displays in the ring, Camacho won super lightweight, lightweight and junior welterweight world titles in the 1980s and fought high-profile bouts against Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez and Sugar Ray Leonard. He had a career record of 79-6-3.

The church was about half-filled with a few hundred mourners, but hundreds more waited behind police barricades across the street and cheered the coffin. Burial followed at St. Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx.

The funeral capped two days of mourning in the neighborhood known as Spanish Harlem where the slain former world champion fighter grew up.

On Friday, hundreds of fans turned out for the public wake and watched as a carriage drawn by white horses carried Camacho's body through the streets.

PCB introduces dope testing during Faysal Bank T-20 ? Cricket ...

PCB introduces dope testing during Faysal Bank T-20 ? Cricket News Update

As per World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA) regulations, the Pakistan Cricket Board will be conducting dope tests on players participating in the ongoing Faysal Bank T-20 tournament, which kicked off in Lahore today on December 1.

?The PCB is introducing in-competition dope testing during the Twenty20 tournament in order to strive for drug-free sports and to protect the basic framework for the athletes,? said a statement by the board. ?Cricketers from all the regional teams participating in the Twenty20 championship will randomly be picked for dope testing.

?These tests will be conducted by WADA-accredited independent doping control officers throughout the competition.?

The tournament, due to be played from December 1 to 9 at various venues in Lahore, features numerous regional teams, and the PCB went on the reveal that roughly 500 first-class cricketers had already been educated on the subject of doping. This education included a series of lectures on the subject, in addition to which the board also provided the players a guide in Urdu, a CD to supplement the lectures, and list of banned drugs.

Drugs scandals in the sport during recent times can be traced back to 2003, when Australian spin bowler Shane Warne was banned for a year, for using a diuretic. Since then, several cases of players using banned performance-enhancing substances have come to light.

Pakistan has faced its share of doping scandals in the past, the most well-publicised being the bans imposed on pacers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif in October 2006, when both players tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone, banned for its performance-enhancing qualities.

Akhtar was banned for two years, while Asif was handed a one year ban, after both were found guilty by a three-man drugs tribunal put together by the PCB. Later, the bans were overturned on appeal and both were acquitted in December by a review committee.

However, the PCB will be aiming to avoid any such unpleasant controversies, and the Pakistani first-class cricketers participating in the domestic T20 tournament will be subject to random dope testing. The group stages of the competition will last from December 1 to 7, after which two semi-finals will be played, on December 8, at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, followed by the tournament final at the same venue on the 9th.
