The book includes a paragraph about the king and crown prince that authorities deemed a violation of a law that makes it illegal to defame, insult or threaten the crown. CNN has chosen not to repeat the language because it could result in CNN staff being prosecuted in Thailand.

Mark Dean, a lawyer for Nicolaides, said he was released Friday and taken to the Australian embassy in Bangkok, where he stayed until leaving for Australia at about midnight.

“He is obviously very relieved and grateful that the pardon was granted,” Dean said.

Nicolaides was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty last month. He faced a term of up to six years before the plea. Watch shackled Nicolaides at court »

His lawyers then requested the pardon. King Bhumibol Adulydej had pardoned foreigners in similar cases in the past.

Dean said Nicolaides was deported from Thailand, but that he did not know of any other stipulations related to the pardon.

In an interview with CNN International, Dean avoided repeating what Nicolaides wrote, but said the passage was presented as a rumor, not a fact.

“This is probably not the best time to repeat the passage that was found to be offensive,” Dean said. “But it concerned the crown prince of Thailand and a rumor that was being circulated in Thailand about the crown prince.”

Nicolaides had been living in Thailand since 2003, lecturing at two universities about tourism.

He was about to leave Thailand when he was arrested on August 31. It is not clear why the authorities waited three years after the publication of his book to bring charges against him.

Fifty copies of the book were published, and only seven were sold.

Talks will take place next week after Moustapha returns from Damascus, where he is meeting with several visiting U.S. congressional delegations, Duguid said.

“The meeting is an opportunity for dialogue to discuss our concerns with the Syrians,” Duguid said. “There remain key differences between our governments.”

Duguid cited Syrian support for terrorist groups, its pursuit of nuclear weapons, its interference in Lebanon and worsening human rights situation as issues Feltman will address at next week’s meetings.

On Thursday, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a report that the U.N. nuclear watchdog found traces of uranium from samples retrieved at a Syrian site suspected to be the location of a nuclear site.

The site was bombed by Israeli aircraft in September 2007, and Syria says the missiles that destroyed the building at the site were the source of the uranium particles, according to the report. Damascus has denied it was being used for a nuclear reactor.

Next week’s talks come as the Obama administration weighs greater engagement with Damascus as well as with Iran. During her confirmation hearing last month Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said more dialogue with Syria may help Damascus become “a constructive regional actor” and benefit U.S. interests.

The first meeting with Moustapha since last September is being viewed as the start of more regular contacts between Washington and Damascus through normal diplomatic channels, senior administration officials told CNN.

The Bush administration withdrew the U.S. ambassador from Syria in 2005 following the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. Washington suspects Syrian involvement in the murder, which Damascus has denied. In lieu of an ambassador, a U.S. charge d’affaires working in the U.S. embassy holds sporadic talks with Syrian officials.

A series of congressional delegations have visited Syria in recent weeks. Sen. John Kerry, the Massachusetts Democrats who heads the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Sen. Benjamin Cardin, D-Maryland, visited Damascus this week. Rep. Howard Berman, D-California, chairman of the House International Relations Committee, is traveling there in the coming days.

“We have different approaches in different areas, but we are all together in our desire to act for the good of the state,” Netanyahu said. “We will be able to find the common ground to lead the state toward security, prosperity and peace.”

He said Israeli leaders need to unite as the country faces “great challenges,” particularly from Iran, which he said “is developing nuclear weapons and poses the biggest threat to Israel since the war of independence.”

A U.N. report released this week found that Iran has enough uranium for a single nuclear weapon, but the uranium has not been enriched to make it weapons-grade. Iran consistently has denied the weapons allegations, calling them “baseless,” and said that data that indicated otherwise was “fabricated.”

To become Israel’s next prime minister, Netanyahu must form a coalition within six weeks, or the process will start all over.

The decision comes after Avigdor Lieberman, head of the right-wing Yisrael Beytenu party, said he would recommend Netanyahu for the post, but only if he promises to form a “broad-based” coalition government.

Analysis: Mixed message for peace
In Depth: Israel votes
In last week’s parliamentary elections, no single party won the minimum 61 seats needed to form a government. That means a government of two or more parties — or coalition government — is inevitable. Watch election analysis from CNN’s Bill Schneider »

The ruling Kadima Party won the most seats in the Knesset, Israel’s parliament. But Kadima received just one more seat than Netanyahu’s Likud Party.

The strong showing of other right-wing parties — including Yisrael Beytenu and the Orthodox Shas movement — could give Netanyahu a better chance of forming a coalition government.

Speaking to fellow Likud members Monday, Netanyahu expressed confidence that he has enough support to emerge as Israel’s next prime minister.

“I plan to form a government as soon as possible with our natural partners,” the former Israeli prime minister said. “We have a government in our hands, but we want a broader one.”

He added that he will negotiate with other parties, including Kadima, “to form a broad national unity government.”

Livni took over as Kadima leader after Prime Minister Ehud Olmert stepped down from the post amid corruption investigations. Livni’s failure to assemble a ruling coalition at that time triggered last week’s elections.

Netanyahu, 59, is a former Israeli soldier who served in the elite commando unit Sayeret Matkal. He was one of a dozen Israeli commandos who stormed a Belgian aircraft hijacked by Palestinian terrorists in 1972 and helped rescue 140 hostages.

After his stint as prime minister from 1996 to 1999, he served in the Cabinet of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, then Likud Party leader, but resigned in 2005, saying he disagreed with Sharon’s plan to remove Israeli troops and settlements from Gaza. Sharon left Likud and formed Kadima as a more centrist party.

Netanyahu has supported the expansion of Israeli settlements on the West Bank and has opposed making further territorial concessions in hope of ending the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

He has been reminding the public that he warned that Palestinian militants in Gaza could launch rockets at Israeli cities such as Ashkelon and Ashdod — which has happened and led to Israel’s recent military operation in Gaza.

Obama’s approval rating stands at 67 percent in the new poll. That’s down 9 percentage points from the most recent CNN poll, which was conducted in early February. But a breakdown by party suggests that the drop doesn’t mean that the new president is in serious trouble.

“Since nearly all of the decline came among Republicans, this doesn’t indicate that the honeymoon is already over,” said Keating Holland, CNN’s polling director. “Among Democrats, Obama’s approval went from 96 percent to 92 percent; among Republicans, it dropped from 50 percent in early February to 31 percent now.”

Among independents, the president’s approval rating now stands at 61 percent, down 6 percentage points from earlier in the month.

Sixty percent of those questioned in the poll favored the economic stimulus plan, with 39 percent opposing the package. The $787 billion law is designed to pump up the economy by increasing federal government spending, sending aid to states in fiscal trouble and by cutting taxes. Watch Obama’s comments after signing the stimulus »

Do Americans think the stimulus will work?

A slight majority, 53 percent, said the plan will improve economic conditions, while 44 percent said it won’t help stimulate the economy. And 31 percent of those questioned indicated the package will improve their own financial situation, with two out of three saying the stimulus won’t help them personally.

“Americans often don’t see a connection between big government programs and their own wallets,” Holland said. “That’s what makes the various bailout packages such a hard sell with the public, and why the White House might have felt that they needed to include tax cuts in the stimulus package.”

Of those 53 percent who said the plan will work, 19 percent felt it will start improving the economy by the end of the year, with 16 percent saying it will make a difference by next year and another 18 percent feeling it will take longer than two years.

“It goes without saying that Democrats support the stimulus bill and Republicans oppose it,” Holland added. “Nearly nine in 10 Democrats favored the plan, while three-quarters of Republicans thought it was a bad idea.” iReport.com: How is Obama doing so far?

Forty-nine percent said they think the passage of the economic stimulus plan was a major victory for Obama, with 28 percent calling it a minor accomplishment and 22 percent indicating it was not a positive achievement.

The bill passed Congress less than four weeks after Obama took office. It passed the House of Representatives with no Republican support. In the Senate, three of 41 Republicans backed the bill.

have been with my boyfriend for 1/2 yr now. But he never said he loves me. One day I can’t stand this anymore, then I asked him why he doesn’t say “I love you” to me ever? His answer is he doesn’t feel he loves me. He tried and thought he can develop love for me, but it doesn’t seem working. Later, he even told me he doesn’t know what he wants from me and from our relationship. Altho I am, a greatest person, he can’t love me, and I can’t force ,him to love me. But the more I am with him, the more I fall in love with him. Just he doesn’t feel the same way-still stays in the same stage as the beginning-likes me. How can I make him love me? I need “love” from my boyfriend. If there’s no “love” in a relationship, it’s a dead relationship. It’s not solid and real. It won’t work. Finally when I asked how he ‘s going to solve the problem that he can’t love me, he said”let’s break up”. Oh my god, what an irresponsible answer. I hate that. Please tell me how can I make him love me, since I love him so much. Thanks have been with my boyfriend for 1/2 yr now. But he never said he loves me.

 ]I have a big crush on this guy in a grade higher than me. We don’t have any classes together but we are both in band and on the school paper. I know I love him because I just can’t get him off of my mind. At a party I confessed my true feelings and he told me he liked me too – as a friend. He said he just wanted us to be friends right now. I really, really want to be with him, how do I make him love me?

A:

You are suffering from a killer one-sided crush, also known as “unrequited love“, and there really isn’t much you can do to change it into a relationship. I’ll be blunt. You can not make somebody love you. You can’t even make them like you. There are no magic spells or secret tricks that will make a person suddenly feel for you the way you feel for them. Love doesn’t work like that (and thank the sweet stars above that it doesn’t!). Love, when it is real and returned, is one of the most amazing feelings you will ever experience. Although it is hard to accept that this person doesn’t return your feelings, it may help you to know that the pain you now feel will be erased from your heart when you find someone who does love you back.

Now back to the issue at hand, coping with your current crush. Since he has made his feelings for you clear, namely that he wants to be friends, you really only have one choice. You have to honor his feelings and wishes. You do however have options as to exactly how you handle the “friendship situation“. You can swallow your feelings, move on and work on having “just a friendship” with this guy or, you can harbour your feelings and hope that the future will see your friendship turn romantic. Either way, the one thing you should do is actively take him up on his offer of friendship in spite of your deeper feelings.

Take heart, all is not lost! Friendship is always a good place to start. Right now he only knows a “one dimensional” you, as your friendship progresses he will come to see your many sides. With time, his feelings may even deepen into romatic interest. You say that the two of you are not in any classes together so it is entirely possible that his “Let’s be friends!” comment is not a mere brush off, but a bonafide offer. He may want to start as friends because he doesn’t know you well enough to have any deeper feelings (a sign that he is a good guy BTW), or he may be using the “friendship line” as a brush off (a sign that he is NOT a good guy BTW). You can’t be certain which of these is true until you make a go of the friendship. Work from the premise that he really wants a friendship with you until he indicates otherwise.

By becoming his friend you get the opportunity let him see a new side of you, and you get to see a new side of him. In getting closer you may even fall into a relationship. Of course, the opposite is also true. As you get to know him better your crush, which is built on a fantasy not a reality, may disappear and you may lose interest in him. There are no guarantees that your feelings will stay the same through your burgeoning friendship. There are also no guarantees that his current feelings will change into love. After you become friends you may end up exactly where you are right now, in a one-sided love affair. But at this point in time, what have you got to lose? At the very least you gain a closer acquaintance and at the most you’ll get your man!

When it comes to matters of the heart, men aren’t the easiest to understand. As women, we want and crave to know when the man we are with has fallen for us. Unfortunately, not all men are that clear or vocal about what they are feeling. There are some signs of a man falling in love that can help a woman gain some insight into what her guy is feeling.

One of the subtle signs of a man falling in love is his need for connection. When a man’s feelings shift from like to love he craves more time with the woman he’s with. If you notice that the man in your life can’t seem to get enough of you and would do just about anything to have even a few minutes of your uninterrupted time, he’s hooked. On the other hand, if the man you are with makes constant excuses for why you two can’t see one another, he’s just not that emotionally invested in the relationship.

Another of the signs of a man falling in love is that he wants you to experience new things. Most of us have dated a guy who was content just staying at home and sharing intimate time together. Although this is flattering, it doesn’t build a foundation for a loving relationship. When a man is in love he wants the best for the woman he’s with. He wants to experience all kinds of things with her, not just intimacy. If your boyfriend rarely suggests you two go out and you never take a vacation together, that’s not a good sign.

You can also tell a man is feeling more committed emotionally to a woman if he spends money on her. If you’re with a genuinely generous man this sign is a little harder to decipher. However, if you’re with a man who is always complaining about not having enough money and he frequently waits for you to pay for things that’s worth noting, especially if you know that he can afford it.

Specific things you say and do can make a man feel helplessly drawn to you. If you are convinced he is the one there are things you can do to ensure he only has eyes for you. For more insightful tips about understanding men including a way to get him to fall deeply in love with

If your man is not vocal about his love for you it would be impossible to know if he is really in love. Women do know that some men whose feelings are difficult to understand. Women usually need to find out first about his feelings by asking him, but if a man is interested he may have already told it or if he is not interested he would have ignored the question.

If you want to know whether he has truly fallen in love, you need to pay attention to his behavior and body language. His behavior and actions may show his intentions with you.

(1) Physical Proximity

If you want to find out how much a man loves you, you can first watch how much he cares about sharing time with you and wants to be physically with you. A man who loves a woman cannot be stopped; he may drive an hour just to spend a few minutes with you. Another clue is if he always trying to spend time has with you, you know he is into you. While the other side of men who find excuses and is always busy or finds a reason not to be with you is not interested in a relationship.

(2) You’re His Focus

When a man spends time talking about you rather than him it is a sure sign he loves you. To test this action is to pay attention to his conversation when you spend time together. If he is always asking about your life, it shows he is interested in you. If on the other hand during a date if the guy talks about himself he is not the guy you should be looking to spending a long term relationship.

(3) No Short Memory

Usually men have bad memories, but if your man is in love he will not forget any special occasion. But a sure sign he is not into you is if he does not say a word when your birthday is approaching. Also if you have made plans to spend time together and when the date arrives but he just forgets it, it is clear he is not interested in you. If he adores you he will remember the tiny details about you. If he has a short memory he will write it down so he does not forget things. Men in love with women will not let important events pass without celebrating it together. Things that you mention can make a man shower his attention on you and he will have eyes only for you.

If you are convinced he has eyes only for you even on the little things you can be sure that your man is in love with you

Libra is the only zodiac symbol that’s neither animal nor human — but surely that doesn’t make you any less human. In fact, Libra is among the most sociable of the signs. As scales of old were really “balances,” so to do you seek balance in all that Libra does. You respond to situations with grace as Libra attempts to put others at ease. Artistically, Libra tries to balance form, content, colors and elements, and for this reason can be drawn toward creative endeavors.

The greatest balancing act is between self and others, and it is here that many Libras focus their energy. Here, in the realm of interpersonal relationships, you are a champion. Libra know how to be the charming host or hostess. Libra can sense what others want before they ask for it. And you can make the needs of others a higher priority than your own. In fact, Libra is the shuttle diplomats of the zodiac, going back and forth between the extremes until a solution is negotiated.

The Libra motto might be “To every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.” It is your innate sense of cause and effect that makes you so effective as a strategist. Whether it’s playing chess, relationship counseling or civic planning, you know how to be effective while staying in the middle of the road. Your easygoing attitude can serve you and others well, but don’t forget that your needs cannot go totally unfulfilled or you won’t have anything to give to others.

Element: Air
The astrological element of air represents movement. And the most efficient movement between two points is often a thought. Air signs are thinkers. They emphasize the intellect over other functions. With active minds and a good command of language, the air signs are the natural born communicators. They can be light and breezy as the breath of spring, but their words can also carry the power of a gale force wind.

The air of Libra is about equilibrium. Even the atmosphere needs to rest, so here, we seek ways to give our thoughts temporary respite from their never-ending movement.

Seventh House: Partners
If the First House represents the self, the Seventh House opposite it, represents the other. This can be a business partner, a spouse or any other type of relationship amongst equals. Most often, this is where we look to see how you relate to others in your life.

Key Planet: Venus
Venus is the planet of love and desire. She is in charge of romance and beauty. But Venus isn’t only about physical love; she’s also symbolic of the ideal love. When we see a beautiful painting or other work or art, Venus is present. She is the beauty of a rose as much as she is the attraction we have to someone we love. As the key planet of Libra, Venus is about the perception of beauty as an ideal. Here, she is the proper blend of colors, the right mix of music or the perfect poetic description of love, itself.
