Fresh faces for Kiwi Cricket, Mega Drama North of Auckland, and the Perils of Online Posting - What's in the News

For years it has seemed like the Black Caps have had the same bunch of players. That has changed with the recent teams announced.

Yip, coach John Wright has picked six new players for the One Day and T20 teams to play this summer. John seems to be making a bit of a name for himself by experimenting and taking risks with his team selections, and it is working so far with the Kiwis winning 3 of the last 4 test matches.

The new players to represent New Zealand this summer are introduced here.

The mastermind of a massive online file sharing operation, Megaupload was arrested in a full-on police raid north of Auckland.

Dozens of police arrived at a 30 million dollar mansion (some by helicopter) to capture Kim Dotcom. It is estimated that his activities may have cost copyright holders more than $500 million over the years.

Dotcom made around $51 million dollars himself last year and lives an extraordinary life of luxury. It could all come to a halt if he gets found guilty. More details on the case here.

Did you know that stuff that you post on social media sites like Facebook could be visible forever?

Many people aren't aware of this, but the potential to harm your reputation for years to come is a very real risk if regrettable things are posted on the internet.

There is a growing movement by parents to help protect their children from damaging their reputations in this way. So much so that in many cases parents are setting up alerts every time the name of their child shows up on Facebook, Twitter etc. This allows them to keep track of what their child is saying, and also what is being said about them!

It's pretty crazy, and a bit scary really. Check out the full story.
