    MEPs back Estonia's euro ambitions

    Despite the current economic crisis and tensions in the euro, Estonia is set to adopt the single currency in January. A low budget deficit and low inflation have persuaded MEPs on the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee. and the European Commission that the small Baltic State is ready for euro membership. However, there are still concerns over the jobless rate, which is approaching 20%.

    Amemonos

    Buscaba mi alma con afán tu alma,
    Buscaba yo la vírgen que a mi frente
    Tocara con sus labios dulcemente
    En el febril insomnio de mi amor.

    Buscaba yo la mujer pálida y bella,
    Que en sueños me visita desde niño,
    Para partir con ella mi cariño,
    Para partir con ella mi dolor.

    Como en la sacra soledad del templo
    Sin ver a Dios se siente su presencia
    Yo presentí en el mundo tu existencia
    Y como a Dios sin verte te adoré.

    Amémonos mi bien en este mundo
    Donde lágrimas tantas se derraman;
    Las que vierten, quizas los que se aman
    Tienen un no se qué de bendición.

    Amar es empapar el pensamiento
    En la fragancia del edén perdido;
    Amar, amar es llevar herido
    Con un dardo celeste el corazón;
    Es tocar los dinteles de la gloria,
    Es ver tus ojos, es escuchar tu acento,
    Es en el alma llevar el firmamento
    Y es morir a tus pies de adoración.

    "Ποταμοῖς τοῖς αὐτοῖς ἐμβαίνομέν τε καὶ οὐκ ἐμβαίνομεν, εἶμέν τε καὶ οὐκ εἶμεν."

    Land of Birds

    ...Μ' απόψε, τώρα που έπεσεν η τροπική βραδιά,
    και φεύγουν προς τα δυτικά των Μαραμπού τα σμήνη,
    κάτι με σπρώχνει επίμονα να γράψω στο χαρτί,
    εκείνο, που παντοτινή κρυφή πληγή μου εγίνη...

    ...Το χέρι τρέμει ... Ο πυρετός ... Ξεχάστηκα πολύ,
    ασάλευτο ένα Μαραμπού στην όχθη να κοιτάζω.
    Κι έτσι καθώς επίμονα κι εκείνο με κοιτά,
    νομίζω πως στη μοναξιά και στη βλακεία του μοιάζω ...

    Με το όνομα μαραμπού είναι γνωστά και τα μαλακά φτερά της ρίζας της ουράς των πτηνών αυτών. Τα φτερά μαραμπού πωλούνται ακριβά ως διακοσμητικά.

    Επίσης, «Μαραμπού» είναι ο τίτλος της πρώτης ποιητικής συλλογής (1933) του ποιητή Νίκου Καββαδία, από όπoυ και δανείστηκα τις δύο αποστροφες από το ομώνυμο ποίημα

    THE PARTHENON MARBLES



    Dull is the eye that will not weep to see
    Thy walls defaced, thy mouldering shrines removed
    By British hands, which it had best behoved
    To guard those relics ne'er to be restored.
    Curst be the hour when from their isle they roved,
    And once again thy hapless bosom gored,
    And snatch'd thy shrinking gods to northern climes abhorred!



    Lord Byron, "Childe Harold"

    Tales on an Inauguration Day

    A Tale of Two Citis

    By Daniel Politi
    Posted Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2009, at 7:03 AM ET
    The Washington Post

    leads with the Bush administration official in charge of deciding which detainees at Guantanamo Bay will go to trial declaring that the U.S. military tortured Mohammed al-Qahtani, a Saudi who allegedly intended to be a part of the Sept. 11 attacks. "We tortured Qathani," Susan Crawford, the convening authority of military commissions, said. Crawford has now become "the first senior Bush administration official responsible for reviewing practices at Guantanamo to publicly state that a detainee was tortured," declares the WP's Bob Woodward. The Wall Street Journal banners word that Citigroup will soon announce a plan to get rid of several of its businesses and shrink the giant company by one-third. Executives say the move "will essentially dismantle the financial colossus built by legendary deal maker Sanford Weill," reports the WSJ.

    The New York Times
    leads with Sen. Hillary Clinton's confirmation hearing, where she vowed that the new administration would put diplomacy front-and-center, and hinted there would be a tougher stance on Israel. Although the former first lady faced some tough questions over her husband's fund-raising, she received lots of praise from lawmakers and no one doubts that she will be confirmed as the next secretary of state. The Los Angeles Times leads with a look at how hospitals are feeling the effects of the economic downturn as more patients are choosing to postpone medical care and are foregoing elective procedures. The story focuses on California but points out hospitals across the country are hurting due to the "the financial, economic and government crises" that are "hitting at once." USA Today leads an interview with President Bush, who said President-elect Barack Obama's biggest challenge will be to "protect the American people" from "an enemy attack."
