ISRAEL'S NEW 'SKUNK BOMB': http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/18949.htm BY URI DAN JERUSALEM � Israel is developing an evil-smelling "skunk bomb" to confront Palestinian militants. All Horoscopes: http://web1.nypost.com/cgi-bin/horoscope.pl ARIES You may be of two minds about whether to push ahead with something you know is going to need a lot of time, a lot of work and a lot of patience, or take things easy over the next few days so you can start anew at the beginning of next week. According to the planets, the latter is by far the wiser course of action - or inaction. 1-900-990-7810* TAURUS There is no point pretending that you are not upset by others people's actions because everyone can see that you are. Your choice today is either to forgive and forget (and choose your friends with more care in the future) or to see to it that they suffer as much as they have made you suffer these past few weeks. It's got to be one or the other. 1-900-990-7811* GEMINI Just because someone occupies a position of power does not mean you have to agree with every word he says, still less approve of what he is doing. At some stage today, you will get the chance to speak up and maybe even do something about the injustices that are taking place around you. Be brave and be true - others will follow your lead. 1-900-990-7812* CANCER If you are typical of your birth sign, you make no end of sacrifices for the people you love and ask for little, if anything, in return. Today, however, you must insist that your family and your friends give you the time and the space that you need to get your thoughts together. You cannot think straight in such a noisy environment. 1-900-990-7813* LEO You might like to pretend that you don't really care what others are saying about you, but deep down you do, especially if what they are saying is not too flattering. Do you take their criticisms to heart? Or do you take the easy way out and cut them off your friendship list? Deep down, you know the answer to that one, too. 1-900-990-7814* VIRGO They say that self-confidence is half the battle, and if that is true, then your personal battle is as good as won. With the sun, Mars and Jupiter all transiting your birth sign at the moment, you certainly don't lack for courage or confidence, but you need a little more common sense if you are to make the most of your chances. 1-900-990-7815* LIBRA There is no point planning too far ahead at the moment because solar and planetary activity in the most sensitive area of your chart means that you are coming to the end of a cycle and you should be tying up loose ends, not creating new ones. There will be a time for new plans, but that time is not yet here. 1-900-990-7816* SCORPIO It is pointless to get angry about things that you do not have the power to change. Instead, you should be channeling your energy into areas where you can have an uplifting effect. Negative emotions never solve anything, even when they are justified, so focus only on positive people and things - they are there if you care to look for them. 1-900-990-7817* SAGITTARIUS Everyone knows that you are capable of bigger and better things, so why do you doubt it yourself? Solar and planetary activity in the area of your chart that governs your vocation - that is, what you were born to do with your life - urges you to follow your instincts and use your talents, not just to enrich yourself, but for the good of the world. 1-900-990-7818* CAPRICORN With both Venus and Saturn moving through the partnership area of your chart, you seem unable to decide whether to get serious about a particular relationship or whether to keep it on a level where you don't get too close. You will have to decide one way or the other early next week, but for now, just go with the flow and enjoy it for what it is. 1-900-990-7819* AQUARIUS Someone you are involved with on a financial or business level will offer what sounds like good advice today, but if your sixth sense tells you to be cautious, you would be wise to keep your distance. It may be there is nothing much to worry about, but you won't know for sure until early next month, so make your excuses and do not commit yourself. 1-900-990-7808* PISCES If someone lets you down at the very last moment today - and there is every chance that someone will - you must use all your powers of self-control not to get annoyed, or at least not to let it show. If he can see he has irritated you, he might be tempted to do it again just for the fun of it. Smile sweetly even though you don't mean it. 1-900-990-7809* Sports News: http://web1.nypost.com/sports/sports.shtml UP TO THE TASK: http://www.nypost.com/sports/27503.htm By MIKE VACCARO ATHENS - Well, if the U.S. men's basketball team has any tricks left up its sleeve, it's about time to retrieve them.

MAT'S ALL FOR RULON: http://www.nypost.com/sports/27522.htm By LENN ROBBINS ATHENS � The phrase "no pain, no gain" has been around for as long as athletes have pushed themselves to run faster, jump higher, throw farther and overcome greater adversity.

DIRRELL CLINCHES MEDAL: http://www.nypost.com/sports/27518.htm By LENN ROBBINS ATHENS � The tattoo on Andre Dirrell's back, the one he got just before the Olympics began, isn't of the dad he never knew or a friend from the hard streets of Flint, Mich., who died too soon or a child he fathered out of wedlock. FAB FIVE WON'T FADE AWAY: http://www.nypost.com/sports/27516.htm By LENN ROBBINS ATHENS � One way or the other, it all ends today.
