What exactly is the Running Man theory? The theory is that humans evolved as running-pack animals, that they only way we got food was by running our prey to death. The human brain exploded in size about 2 million years ago, expanding from a peanut to the melon we have now. That could've only happened if humans were eating animal carcasses. But the first weapon only appeared 200,000 years ago, so for 1,800,000 years we were somehow acquiring dead animals without having a weapon to kill them. So the theory is that we ran animals...
...good news and bad news, graduates. Remember back in 1991, when you were about 4 years old and your parents were driving you from Montessori to tot-aerobics class? Mozart was on the car stereo, stimulating your little brain. And Mom explained that your future was all laid out. Your strong preschool record had placed you into a grade-school gifted-and-talented program, which, with hard work, would lead to the Advanced Placement curriculum in high school.

Your first year...

Every instrument had its role to play, and it was all prefigured." - Jerry Wexler, Atlantic Records producer who worked with Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, among others, on Spector's greatness as a producer (Rolling Stone, April...
Advocates also note that the drug, which has been used for decades in emergency rooms and ambulances, is safe. Naloxone reverses a high by blocking the brain's opioid receptors, where drugs like heroin and narcotic painkillers bind. According to Daliah Heller, an assistant commissioner of the New York City Department of Health, who is involved with the city's naloxone program, serious side effects from the drug (aside from triggering withdrawal symptoms in addicts) are extremely rare. But they're not unheard of: in rare instances, high doses of naloxone have caused seizures, but, says Heller, "It's much...
