...wrecking job on the notion that dreams are a random by-product of REM sleep was carried out by the South African neuroscientist and psychoanalyst Solms, who was working at the Royal London Hospital in the 1990s when he made his career-defining discoveries. Solms wasn't alone at the time in realizing that dreaming occurred outside periods of REM, that it was also common at sleep onset and shortly before waking in the morning. But he found an even weaker spot in the Hobson-McCarley hypothesis. If their theory was right, then people with damage to a part...
...Even more interesting to Solms were 53 Royal London Hospital patients with healthy brain stems who said they'd stopped dreaming. Most of them had damage to the part of the brain that generates spatial imagery. That made sense: if you can't create pictures in your mind, how are you going to dream?

...waiting. Emigrés are voting with their feet, and that has turned them into an election issue: almost 1 million of them have registered to vote in the two rounds, on April 22 and May 6, more than double the number in the last presidential election in 2002.

Nicolas Sarkozy on the right, centrist François Bayrou and Ségolène Royal, the Socialist Party's candidate, are all taking aim at a France they describe as "blocked" and "immobile." And they are making promises galore to resolve many of the issues that have sent these young French abroad in the first place. Royal wants to hand out $13,000 interest-free loans...
...Black Fluted Mega range by Karen Kjaeldgard-Larsen for Royal Copenhagen Kjaeldgard-Larsen was just 26 when she revamped the venerable Blue Fluted pattern for Royal Copenhagen (est. 1775) in 2000. After that success, her Mega range was extended to every fashionista's favorite color. Each piece is hand-painted before glazing - it's as classy as a Crown Princess in a little black dress. www.royalcopenhagen.com
