At least one Milwaukee mom won’t be sending her child to school on cross-dressing ‘Switch It Up Day’
Hernandez tells EAGnews the day was originally billed as “Gender Bender Day,” but Tippecanoe officials made the name change after she called Principal Jeffrey Krupar to complain. The Milwaukee mother was not impressed. “I didn’t have a problem with the title. I had a problem with the activity taking place,” Hernandez says. She says it’s “ridiculous” and “creepy” to ask elementary boys to come to school dressed as girls, and vice versa, and predicts that having students dress as “transvestites” will distract from the learning process.

There's a hole in the sun, NASA says
During the latter part of last week, a huge void rotated across the face of the sun.

Though it may be a well-known phenomenon, it is noteworthy — it’s the largest coronal hole to be observed in the sun’s atmosphere for over a year.  

Irish chronicles reveal links between cold weather and volcanic eruptions

Scientists create device that tears a hole in time, enabling undetectable secret messages to be sent (so long as you do it in 0.00012 of a second)
A 'time cloak' which bends light to tear holes in time itself has been created by scientists. The device could have important implications for sending secret messages via fibre optic cables. The device can hide a continuous stream of events at telecommunications data rates - much quicker than a similar invention unveiled last year. Researchers used equipment known as modulators to make the holes by bending light,  

Now FBI wants back door to all software
The FBI is unhappy that there are communications technologies that it cannot intercept, and wants a new requirement that software makers and communications companies create a back door so they can listen in when they want. But a team of technology experts warns that would be nothing more than handing over to the nation’s enemies abilities they are not capable of developing for themselves.
