A 45-y-o male with a history of schizophrenia was admitted to a local VA psychiatric unit. Five days later, endoscopy due to abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding and blood hemoglobin of 5.6 g/dL revealed bullets in the stomach. On subsequent radiograph, > 50 bullets were visualized in the stomach and intestines. Poison Center recommendations included whole bowel irrigation and a blood lead level. After poor results with gastrointestinal decontamination and a repeat radiograph showing > 100 cartridges, surgical intervention was considered but not performed due to perceived risk of bullet detonation from electrocautery. The blood lead was reported as 391 mcg/dL. Calcium EDTA therapy was initiated, followed by aggressive gastrointestinal decontamination. Four days of whole bowel irrigation facilitated passage of 206 cartridges over the next 10 days. The patient was discharged on a 14-day course of 600 mg Succimer tid to treat the bone lead deposits and blood lead level of 49 mcg/dl. An outpatient visit 6 w later showed the blood lead level had dropped to 24 mcg/dl. Aggressive gastrointestinal decontamination and calcium EDTA and Succimer administration successfully treated an ingestion lead bullets and the resulting lead poisoning.
CONTEXT: Age-specific estimates of mean testosterone (T) concentrations appear to vary by year of observation and by birth cohort, and estimates of longitudinal declines in T typically outstrip cross-sectional decreases. These observations motivate a hypothesis of a population-level decrease in T over calendar time, independent of chronological aging.
RESULTS: We observe a substantial age-independent decline in T that does not appear to be attributable to observed changes in explanatory factors, including health and lifestyle characteristics such as smoking and obesity. The estimated population-level declines are greater in magnitude than the cross-sectional declines in T typically associated with age.
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that recent years have seen a substantial, and as yet unrecognized, age-independent population-level decrease in T in American men, potentially attributable to birth cohort differences or to health or environmental effects not captured in observed data.
If the cops can watch people violate a crime, then pick a few people out and enforce the law against those people... then its not really about the issue the law was designed to deter, is it?
Then we arrived at the conclusion that its not about the law at all, and only about an excuse to prosecute selected people

Privileges = immunities = rights. They are the same thing. Historically, they were interchangeable.

From open source flight control software I've seen, the scheduler runs the main loop and tertiary loops at set frequencies, and the CPU utilization is not near 100%, so it is ok to add more calculations. CPU utilization is actually somewhat low, other than when logging is set at verbose.
Servos and motors are on per wire modulation (PWM). They wait for a signal at a set frequency, in many cases 490hz (though the trend is new protocols which are higher rates).

Anyways, melatonin is inhibited by blue light and melatonin is not nearly as correlated with sleep as the histamine system (mainly h3 receptors). Blue light inhibiting melatonin probably reduces the oxidative handling system more than it does effect sleep, as melatonin is a very strong antioxidant.

It was meant to limit our rights by specifying exactly what rights we do have, and if its not clearly written, we do not have such rights.
Govt grants rights, contrary to what the right wing wackos want you to think..
Bill of Rights also only applies to the Federal govt, if they meant it to apply to the states, they would have written the Bill of Rights as such.

You're inept at history.
Privileges are the same as rights. In historical context, their use is interchangeable.

Any movements like that are probable cause for a search of the vehicle. Police watch you like hawk once they light you up. Druggies hiding drugs.

Exactly. Clinton = Corrupt, evil. Sanders = Far left but an honest good person.
I wouldn't say Trump is nuts, more like brutally honest. What's crazy is not pandering to the media and all the politically correct crowd.
