Imagine the sheets hanging down on top of your guests? Or the cat crushed by the hydraulics. But, still, a fine idea, especially if you tend to make your bed and don't have a cat. I love this - a bed that rises to the ceiling, has built-in lighting, can be lowered to any level. The Murphy bed moves "up" in the world.....Imagine the sheets hanging down on top of your guests?

The states director of science curriculum has resigned after being accused of creating the appearance of bias against teaching intelligent design.
Comer was put on 30 days paid administrative leave shortly after she forwarded an e-mail in late October announcing a presentation being given by Barbara Forrest, author of Inside Creationisms Trojan Horse, a book that says creationist politics are behind the movement to get intelligent design theory taught in public schools. Forrest was also a key witness in the Kitzmiller v. Dover case concerning the introduction of intelligent design in a Pennsylvania school district. Comer sent the e-mail to several individuals and a few online communities, saying, FYI.
Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, which sent the original e-mail to Comer announcing the event, said Comers situation seems to be a warning to agency employees.
This just underscores the politicization of science education in Texas, Scott said. In most states, the department of education takes a leadership role in fostering sound science education. Apparently TEA employees are supposed to be kept in the closet and only let out to do the bidding of the board.
Needless to say this is taking the science blogs by storm

This weekend, academics and religious scholars will meet in San Diego to discuss religion and the essence of belief. Originally a satirical take on religion after the push for the teaching of Intelligent Design, the belief of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as the Creator gained momentum and caused the questioning of science and belief. The article states that "there's no more scientific basis for intelligent design than there is for the idea an omniscient creature made of pasta created the universe."
