Shooting won't affect bid
The Associated Press
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — South Africa's top Olympics official denied claims yesterday that a fatal shooting at a boxing match would harm Cape Town's bid for the 2004 Games.
"It was an isolated incident that wasn't related to sport at all. It was just plain thuggy," said Sam Ramsamy, president of the National Olympic Committee of South Africa. "The impact is minimal."
But local officials worried Cape Town's bid could be jeopardized by the shooting Sunday of a security guard in an attempted robbery at the boxing match in Guguetu township, near Cape Town.
"If Cape Town wants to host the Olympics in 2004, central government funds for justice and law and order should be made available immediately," Khan said.
Frank Khan, Cape Town's chief prosecutor, said the government would have to bring crime down from anarchic levels to keep the city's Olympic hopes alive.
Television viewers saw the chaos erupt at the stadium Sunday when shots rang out in the seventh round of a fight between South African middleweight champion Simon Maseko and Englishman Warren Stowe.
Horoscopes
Today's Birthday (Nov. 28):
If you're not in a job you like, consider changing this year. You may have a knack for healing with words. You're lucky and studious now, so aim high. Buy something that will get more valuable in January. Start a study program in February. Spend extra time with family in March. Make a major decision in August. Celebrate with a vacation before you settle down to business in September.
Aries (March 21-April 19): it almost looks like a good day for travel, but if you forget to do something you promised, you could have a real problem. Pay off a debt first thing so you can devote the rest of the day to fun and games! Also, check in on a sick friend.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): If you go to the stores today, be careful. You may have a tendency to spend more than you can afford. If you really want to save money, put off shopping until next week. If feelings are hurt, loving arms will help heal the wound. Tonight, make a healthy change.
Gemini (May 21-June 21):
You can better understand a friend if you trust your intuition instead of your intellect. You'll also broaden your perspective considerably! If you're thinking about a major modification, think a while longer. Review options rather than deciding yet.
Cancer (June 22-July 22):
Sometimes you may have a tendency to worry. If you find yourself falling into that habit, get busy! Think of something nice to do for the person you love most tonight. If you make a very special treat, you'll improve everybody's attitude, including your own.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You are usually pretty good about your responsibilities, but the confusion can get to you. If you can find a minute or two for yourself, grab it. Today, getting stuck in traffic might seem like a welcome relief! Save your big date for late.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Tackle your most difficult chores with enthusiasm today. You'll have too much to do, but if you keep going, you'll get it all done! If you're looking for a mate, consider a gentle, very loving type. If you've got a mate, practice those traits yourself!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): This is a day for getting in touch with your spiritual side. On an intuitive level, you probably understand far more than you can explain. In romance, you may have to use that knack. Try blind love if understanding fails. Don't loan any money, though.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):
Miracles happen all the time for those who believe in them. It wouldn't hurt to ask. If you've been good, you might get your wish! If you haven't been good, clean up your act! An old grudge
could cause more trouble than it's worth. Get rid of it!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): Devote your full attention to a domestic issue tonight. Your roommate, or the room itself, needs tender loving care. Don't argue; it'll be good experience for you! An older person could give you an interesting bit of gossip tonight. Don't pass it along — use it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There may be a million things to do. Try to get the most important ones finished this morning. Don't be derailed by something that doesn't go the way you planned. Persevere, and you'll succeed eventually. A class or club meeting could lead to romance tonight.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
An excursion with friends could be a lot of fun. Do the planning now, even if you can't get away for a while. Don't spend more than you can afford on somebody else's flimsy idea. Give your money to a trustworthy charity instead.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
An older person could be cranky today, but you may not be sure why. Maybe nothing more than moral support is needed!
Romance may be available if you want to follow up on an innendo. Consider taking a risk if it won't cost you too much.

Sports fanatics could overdose on DirecTV
By John Nelson The Associated Press
Too many channels, too many games, too many decisions.
I thought I'd died and gone to heaven until my thumb fell off.
"I admit, it's overwhelming at first," said Jim Ramo, executive vice president of DireeTV, which delivers up to 175 channels on those little digital satellite dishes about the size of dinner plates.
Here's how overwhelming: In one year, you can buy 200 NL games for $139, 700 NBA games for $149, 500 NHL games for $119, 425 college basketball games for $79, 22 regional sports networks from across the country for $79.95 and a full state of college football games for $9.95 a day.
That's about $600 a year, give or take a few bucks, for about 2,000
games. Next year, add about 1,000 major league baseball games for another $100 or so, and you'll need two remotes with turbo-charged channel changers to keep up.
"The first Sunday when you get all those football games, you don't know how to watch them," Ramo said. "I've found this with the NBA, too. It's a whole new way of watching TV."
"First, your thumb goes so crazy, you don't even watch a game," he said. "But after a little experience, you learn how to settle in and flick around during commercials."
DirectTV has about 1 million dishes out there and expects to add another 100,000 before Christmas with the help of a promotion giving away free viewing of the final five weeks of the NFL season.
"The NFL has been a boon for us," Ramo said. "It's the biggest seller
that we have."
The first sports deal Direct TV made was to carry ESPN and ESPN2, including out-of-market rights to the games on those two networks.
"Then we went to the NFL to make a deal, and that made us the only small-dish provider with rights to deliver out-of-market NFL games," Ramo said. "Then, finally, we did the deal with the NBA and NHL, and that gave us a whole package."
The DirectTV satellite dish and converter box cost about $600. It's another $250 or so for installation, although you Toolman Tims out there probably can do it yourself. Different packages of channels range up to about $29.95, and then you can start buying sports packages and other add-ons.
And when you stop long enough to actually watch something, you're going to see the clearest, sharpest
picture you've ever seen. It's digital, and there are no more ghosts, no more wavy lines, no more grainy pictures.
OUTTAKES: Tyson-McNeeley. It might have been a boxing mismatch, but it was perfect for pay-per-view. According to Gould Media Services' TV SportsFile, the Tyson-McNeeley fight Aug. 16 accounted for 26 percent of the total 1995 pay-per-view event revenue.
Presented by Showtime Entertainment Television, the PPV arm of Showtime, the fight grossed about $63 million from U.S. pay-per-view distribution, representing about 48 percent of all 1995 PPV boxing revenue.
Showtime estimates that if Tyson fights three times on pay-per-view in 1996, those fights will create a 59 percent increase in PPV event revenue compared to 1995.

Trade for Douglas beefs up Milwaukee's backcourt
MILWAUKEE — Sherman Douglas doesn't know much about the Milwaukee Bucks, but he's eager to team up with a couple of them — Glenn Robinson and Vin Baker.
Douglas, a point guard traded by the Boston Celtics to the Bucks Sunday for swingman Todd Day and center Alton Lister, said his new team was pretty much a mystery to him, except for Robinson and Baker.
"I haven't paid that much attentior (to the Bucks)," he said. "But I know they have two great players. I like their chances. I think they'll be right there."
The Bucks, trying to shake things up after a dismal 3-9 start, were
expected to follow Sunday's deal with another move involving guard Eric Murdock, who predicted he could be traded soon.
"I'm very happy if that is the case," said Murdock, who has been unhappy with reduced playing time this season.
Trade rumors flared when Murdock and Day did not play Friday night. Murdock did not play again Sunday, when the Bucks lost 105-102 to Minnesota.
Bucks coach Mike Duneleay, who has been starting Lee Mayberry ahead of Murdock, said Douglas had the leadership ability the team needed. The team's fourth-quarter collapse Sunday night in its 105-102 loss to Minnesota is the kind of problem he wanted to remedy.
The Bucks also activated center Kevin Duckworth from the injured list, and he played Sunday night. He was acquired Oct. 18 in a trade with Washington but went on the injured list Oct. 31 after arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.
Douglas was caught in a backcourt ogiam in Boston. Since last season, the Celtics acquired free agent Dana Barros, complementing guards David Wesley, Greg Minor and Dee Brown.
"We've had these ongoing conversations," said M.L. Carr, Boston's coach and director of basketball operations. "It was businesslike. They started back before training camp."
Douglas, a second-round pick of the Miami Heat in 1988 out of Syra
cuse, made the NBA all-roookie team that season and joined the Celtics in the 1992-93 season.
He was averaging 13 points and 7.3 assists going into this season. He averaged 9.8 points in 10 games this season and 23.4 minutes a game, mostly as a reserve.
Douglas was upset about his playing time last season under former coach Chris Ford. He lost some of his fan support a few seasons ago when he took off his sneakers in the second half of a game in Minnesota and left the team for personal reasons.
Day, 25, a first-round pick of the Bucks in 1992 out of Arkansas, has been averaging 9.1 points and Murdock 8.9, with both playing about 21 minutes a game.
