Knight's Tale

Running Time: 132 minutes
He Will Rock You
"We can do this. We
can be champions."
--William Thatcher
"If a man believes
enough, a man can do anything," a poor thatcher tells his son.
"A man can change his stars." But in 14th century Europe,
fortunes are not made - they are predestined.
For lowborn William, the son of this poor thatcher, it seems
incomprehensible that he could ever realize his foolish childhood
dream of knighthood. In this day and age, upward mobility is not a
common concept. Fortune is not changed overnight. People die in the
same station into which they are born. That is the natural order.
 
But one day, at a medieval
jousting tournament, where knights race toward each other in tests
of skill and nerve and the strains of Queen's "We Will Rock
You" sets the pace with its prophetic lyrics, "gonna be a
big man some day," fate deals the unheralded William a shot at
the ring. Before long he has reinvented himself, exploding into
noble superstar Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland to the sounds
of thunderous hoof beats, the rising roar of the crowd and an
infusion of popular music.
Newly christened Sir Ulrich is soon catapulted into the Michael
Jordan of the medieval joust, the MVP of the 14th century Super
Bowl, the gold medal winner at the tournament Olympics. He is a
knight - if only in skill and not name - jousting in a
no-holds-barred battle for pride, power and prestige. He has changed
his destiny.
The timeless tale of William (Heath Ledger) and his band of
medieval misfits - including serious, soft-hearted Roland (Mark
Addy), hot-headed, flame-haired Wat (Alan Tudyk) and unemployed
writer Geoff Chaucer (Paul Bettany) - careening towards impossible
glory, Columbia Pictures' A Knight's Tale is the oddball, sometimes
awe-inspiring story of a rookie discovering if he is the stuff of
which legends are made.
Part road trip, part romance, part exuberant action-adventure, the
film is a rich, romantic, raucous ride during which a young squire
embarks on a quest to change his stars, win the heart of an
exceedingly fair maiden (Shannyn Sossamon) and rock his medieval
world.
As modern, accessible, vibrant, funny, sexy and stylish as the sleek
new age armor William dons in his climb up the ladder of riches and
fame, the colorful saga A Knight's Tale springs from the imagination
of Academy Award-winning writer-director Brian Helgeland ("L.
A. Confidential," "Payback"). The Escape
Artists/Finestkind Production is produced by Tim Van Rellim
("Invisible Circus," "K-2") and Todd Black
("Fire In The Sky," "Wrestling Ernest
Hemingway").

COMPUTER
VIRUS |
| Do you have a Virus ?
If you think that you have a virus
and but are not sure what to do, then first look for the warning
signs:
 Programs taking longer to load.
Programs (such as MS Word 97 or Quake) crashing for no reason.
The hard disk being accessed more often.
Files that disappear for no reason and/or frequent file corruption.
Devices that once worked now refusing to work even when no changes
were made to the system configuration.
Of course, there are other causes of the above mentioned symptoms,
ranging from hardware problems to <gasp!> user error, but they
can indicate the presence of a virus infection.
If you would like to make certain whether or not there is a virus
present, please follow these steps:
Boot from the hard disk of the computer suspected to be infected.
Format floppy disk in the A: drive.
Copy AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS from C: to this disk.
Copy all files loaded in AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to this disk.
Copy a few COM and EXE files to this disk, preferably programs that
you often execute. Their size should 10K - 40K.
Run all files on this disk twice.
Mail to one or more A-V researchers or A-V developers for
analysis. |

KESEHATAN |
| STROKE
Thanks to new tests that help predict
stroke, treatments that help control high blood pressure, and good
health habits that many Americans are practicing, the death rate
from stroke is down as much as 50 percent since 1970. Still, stroke
is the third leading cause of death in the United States and the
leading cause of disability among adults.
What
Is a Stroke?
A stroke is a sudden partial loss of
brain function usually caused by a clot that stops the flow of blood
to an area of the brain. Without oxygen and important nutrients, the
affected brain cells are either damaged or die within a few minutes.
While cell damage can be repaired and
the lost function regained, the death of brain cells is permanent.
Most strokes are caused by a blood clot or narrowing of a blood
vessel (artery) leading to the brain. Other strokes are caused by a
hemorrhage (bleeding) from an artery. There are three major types of
strokes:
Thrombotic
strokes are caused by fatty deposits (plaques) that have
built up in the arteries carrying blood to the brain. This slows the
blood flow until a blood clot completely blocks the artery and the
flow of oxygen and nutrients to the brain.
An embolic
stroke is caused by a blood clot formed in another part of
the body that breaks loose, travels through the bloodstream, and
blocks an artery carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain. When
traveling through the body the blood clot is called an embolus.
A hemorrhagic
stroke is caused when an artery supplying blood bleeds into
the brain. The broken blood vessel prevents needed oxygen and
nutrients from reaching the brain cells. One type of hemorrhagic
stroke is caused when an artery that has weakened over time bulges
(called an aneurysm) and suddenly breaks

Huge Ancient Hercules Statue
Found Saturday May 12,
2001 7:30 pm
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Officials have
found a 10-foot-tall statue of Hercules, dated to 2200 B.C., dumped
at a construction site in the northwestern city of Izmit, a news
report said Saturday.
Museum officials believe smugglers unearthed the statue, weighing
more than three tons, and left it at the construction site so that
they could retrieve it later, the Anatolia news agency said.
The head, an arm and a leg of the statue are missing, but Anatolia
quoted museum officials as saying it is the most precious artifact
found in Izmit to date.
The statue has dent marks, which officials believe may have been
caused while being moved with bulldozers. Museum
officials could not be reached for comment. Despite
heavy penalties against smugglers, antiquities and treasures dating
to the Ottoman era are frequently illegally sold to art collectors
overseas. Izmit is 212 miles west
of Ankara, the capital. Izmit is the modern name of the ancient city
of Nicomedia.
