Leprosy, also called Hansen's disease, is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium leprae. The bacterium is an aerobic, acid fast, rod-shaped (bacillus) mycobacterium. The modern term for the disease is named after the discoverer of the bacterium, Gerhard Armauer Hansen.\n\n\n\nTreatment\nHistorically, leprosy was an incurable and disfiguring disease. It is traditionally believed that Lepers were shunned and sequestered in leper colonies. However, this is an oversimplistic explanation not at all backed up by historical evidence. A very great number of Leprosaria or leper hospitals sprang up in the middle ages, particularly in England, and there were 250 in England by the 1230's, the first recorded one being at Harbledown. These institutions were run along monastic lines, and whilst lepers were encouraged to live in these monastic type establishments, this was more for the health of their own souls than for any segregation policy. Indeed, in the Christian tradition, those who suffered from Leprosy were considered to be going through Purgatory on Earth, and for this reason their suffering was so much more Holy than the ordinary person. St Radegund was noted for washing the feet of Lepers, and Orderic Vitalis writes of a monk, Ralf, who was so overcome by the plight of the leper that he prayed, successfully, to catch Leprosy himself. The Leper would carry a clapper and bell to warn of his approach, and this was as much to attract attention for charity as to warn people that a diseased person was near. Most importantly, Christ had walked with the Leper, and so in medieval religious society, it was a noble thing to be able to converse and build relationships with the Leper.\n\nToday, leprosy is easily curable by multidrug antibiotic therapy (MDT). The main challenges in the eradication of Hansen's disease are in reaching populations that have not yet received multidrug therapy services, improving detection of the disease, providing patients with high-quality services and affordable drugs, and fighting social taboos about the disease where patients are considered to be "unclean", or "cursed by God" and outcasts. The last issue is important to address, because in such societies, patients may be forced to hide their condition (and thus not to seek treatment) in order not to be discriminated against, since the lack of awareness about Hansen's disease leads people to falsely believe that the disease is highly contagious and incurable. Since 1995, the World Health Organization (WHO) has provided all endemic countries with free MDT, supplied through Ministries of Health. In December 2005, an agreement was signed between the WHO and the pharmaceutical company Novartis to extend this free provision until at least the end of 2010.

I actually have the 7UP Dot video game on sega genesis Im sure he will come back again. The Quick bunny is still around on the back of the Nestle Quick box but the Noid -- He was my favorite and he has disappeared and I don't see him coming back its been probably 15-20 years. He was the most entertaining of the three too. I wonder if his cold pizza shooter was too close to the ghost buster weapon and there was a law suit or something. At any rate I want them to bring back the Noid!!!

I believe last week was only a re-cap - there were no challenges and no one was kicked off.  I  missed it too, but my daughter said I did not miss too much.  There were some behind the scense stuff - but no new challenges or dismising of the models.  This week for sure.  Happy watching.  :}

They have disbanded the website since the show was cancelled.  That was a fantastic show, and now they took even the website away from us!  Dang.\n\nThere was a discussion group http://startingover.betaparticle.com/\nIf you go back through the threads, you can get alot of info about various houseguests, their websites, what they're doing now, etc.\n\nRhonda also has a website fearlessliving.org  Sometimes she has info about old housemates - they keep in touch and do promotional and charity stuff together from time to time.\n\nAt least you're getting to see them.  I really miss those shows.

I use to watch that show! What ever happened to it? It was funny...it was about a high school reunion (duh!) and they brought back all kinds of people from the most popular to an outcast. It was a pretty interesting show!

The most recent report I could find showed the company in existance in the early 1920s.  From the website below it appears the company went broke in 1922.

There has been a few rumours (mainly driven by the web) about this, but no official announcements.\n\nIt is clear that he is currently going through a very hard time, having split with his wife (again) and his friend Proof being shot and killed recently, and if reports are to be believed he has pretty much locked himself away and is very depressed.\n\nHowever, in many ways that is to be expected given recent events, and as there has been no official announcement of a retirement I would expect him to be "back in business" when he is good and ready to do so.

I'm not sure why they broke up, but I know one of them (Tommy?) use to play on Hollywood Knights. Not sure if he still does though, I saw him in '98ish, but if you're a BSB fan, Nick plays sometimes.\n\nSo No Authority is probably just going around doing their small celeb stuff.

You know, I haven't heard anything about them in a grip! According to their website, it looks like they are still around. Take a look...pretty interesting!\n\nApparently, one of the guys jumped of the stage at a concert, which ended up with him having back surgery.
