The mauling could mean the end of one of the Las Vegas Strip’s most popular shows. Officials said that even if Horn recovers it’s un clear whether he would ever be able to perform again in the rigor ous show. MGM Mirage officials said Sunday that it might take anoth er day or two before doctors have a prognosis for Horn, who was bit ten in the neck and dragged off stage. The performer underwent surgery late Friday and Saturday at University Medical Center. “There has been no change in his status, which quite frankly is good news,” Mirage spokesman Alan Feldman said Sunday morn ing. “Considering the trauma he has been through, no change in his status is a good place to be.” Horn, 59, was heavily sedated but able to respond to voices and touch, MGM Mirage Resort chief executive Bobby Baldwin said. “We are guarded, optimistic,” Baldwin said late Saturday night outside the hospital. “We are pleased the news isn’t worse than it is.” It was halfway during a Friday night performance at The Mirage hotel-casino that Horn appeared alone on stage with a 7-year-old, 600-pound white tiger named Montecore. Horn told the tiger to lie down. When it refused, Horn tapped the cat on the nose with a microphone to get its attention. The animal grabbed at Horn’s arm, causing the entertainer to stumble. The tiger then lunged at Horn, who tried to beat the animal away with the microphone. Audience members said the tiger dragged Horn off the stage by the neck. The attack barely missed severing Horn’s carotid artery. Horn and longtime partner Siegfried Fischbacher have been a Las Vegas Strip staple for years, performing their magic show to sold-out crowds. The shows, with their signature white tigers and li ons, are among the best known and most expensive on the Strip. “For more than four decades, I have had the great privilege of standing at the side of this re markable man, and I will contin ue to do so during this very chal lenging time,” Fischbacher said in a statement Saturday. Feldman said late Saturday the show was closed indefinitely. Siegfried and Roy signed a life time contract with The Mirage in 2001. The German-born pair per form six shows a week, 44 weeks per year and have been onstage in Las Vegas for more than 35 years. Ted Nugent enters world of reality TV BY MIKE HOUSEHOLDER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — They were shot with paintballs, slept in a barn, con structed their own outhouse and skinned a Russian boar. Is all of this worth $25,000 and a truck? Evidently so for the seven peo ple who signed up for “Surviving Nugent,” a two-hour reality pro gram that airs Sunday night on VH1. Ted Nugent, the outspoken roctker and outdoors enthusiast, challenges the contestants to live off the land in his rural compound near Jackson, about 70 miles west ofDetroit. The contestants are eliminated one by one as the Motor City Madman sees fit. The last one stand ing wins the loot and the vehicle. Along for the ride are Nugent’s wife, Shemane, son, Rocco, and his “blood brother,” Big Jim, who drives the eliminated contestants down a dirt road in a pickup truck. “We’re showing off our self-suf ficient, Neanderthal lifestyle,” Nugent, 54, told The Associated Press. t‘If you can’t derive some entertainment from that, you’re weird.” “Surviving Nugent” is sched uled for one airing, but VH1 might make it an ongoing series, said Rob Weiss, head of East Coast pro gramming and development for the channel. Nugent’s no stranger to televi sion - he’s has appeared on “Miami Vice” and “That 70’s Show.” “I would like to think that if they can edit this, conveying the humor and the tension and drama we felt, it will be successful,” he said. “I think I’m just goofy enough and the contestants tried hard enough, that it’s got be entertaining.” CROSSWORD ACROSS 1 Gray-faced 6 Ironic laugh 10 Crib call 14 Play replay, often 15 McGregor of “Emma” 16 Rider’s whip 17 Singing Carpenter 18 Beheaded Boleyn 19 Porgy's love 20 Ringo or Bart 21 Belittle 23 Help out 25 Diameter halves 26 Scapegoat 30 Carpenter’s tool 34 Hoity-toity 36 Italian volcano 37 Personal pension $ 38 Deaths 42 Put two and two together 43 Newshound’s organ 45 Ornamental garden with patterned paths 47 Grinds together 51 Trailblazer 52 Small pies 54 Neither’s partner 55 Lower an exchange rate 59 Go-getters 63 Give forth 64 Type of sch. 65 Liquefy 66 Distance measure 67 Birch or alder 68 Expiate 69 Mineral deposits 70 “Auld Lang 71 Tries out DOWN 1 Invjtes 2 Thin strip of wood 3 Round dance 4 Green beryl 5 Flexible 6 Beer formation 7 Property holder © 2003 Tribune Media Services, Inc. 10/06/03 All rights reserved. 8 *_and Her Sisters” 9 New York lake 10 Singer Martina 11 Zone 12 More than half 13 Church section 22 Rummy call 24 City slicker 26 Highland dance 27 Producer Spelling 28 City in Tibet 29 Edible tuber 31 Fixed gaze 32 Agassi or Citroen 33 Heron or egret 35 Cool or groovy 39 Gullible person 40 Emerald Isle 41 Took no cards 44 Landed properties 46 On the way 48 Actor Linden 49 Becomes violently active Solutions S 1 S 3 J.M3 N A SMS 3 0 0 3 NOlVl] 3 Bl|3 1 I W 3 3 H n did 3 H dll I n 3 s u a oalliv^v a a a 4^ ■MBBU o nbIs i a v TBMBBl ^ b 3 3 N O I d|js 3 H S_ V__N _9 _3__b__y 3 .l-M.v_i5BHOjL0.Ji. a a vpds 3 s i w 3 allv y i v_ Ji A iJHHO _v £ ± a.

Proceed with caution and follow the directions. TAURUS Friends may be excited about something that's on sale, or some other way to spend your money. You can still love them dearly without taking their advice. GEMINI It might be best to keep your newest theory to yourself. Don't forget it; just don’t seek publicity till the bugs are worked out. CANCER It could be hard to get away to be with a dear friend. Don't get yourself into more of a jam — call or drop a note if you can't visit yet. LEO You're generous to a fault, but with a loved one it really isn't necessary. You're valued for who you are, not for what you can provide. VIRGO You're excellent at helping others set priorities. That's good, because they need you again. Look for ways you can help. LIBRA Your creative talents may be stymied by a lack of education. Don't make expensive mistakes. Get an experienced tutor to help you practice the skills you need. SCORPIO You should be able to relax a little with someone you love. An energetic game would be a great way to let off steam. SAGITTARIUS Take it easy for a little while. Don't push too hard. You could break something that's precious and fragile. CAPRICORN What you already knew may clash with something you're being taught. Do you need to protect yourself against new ways of seeing? Not always. AQUARIUS Turn down a chance to participate in a game that you can't afford. Your time and money is better spent working toward building a secure future. PISCES You may be feeling tough enough to stand up to a stem taskmaster. First, make sure you're right. Go over the data again.
