An American mother is making a desperate plea to people across China to help her dying adopted daughter find a bone marrow transplant. The six-year-old's best chance of survival may be to find the Chinese mother who gave her up for adoption.

Six-year old Kailee Wells is bright and pretty with a beautiful smile and a fiery personality.

Her adoptive mother from the United States, Linda Wells, says Kailee is also terribly ill with aplastic anemia, which threatens to kill her unless she receives a bone marrow transplant.

Cases of atypical pneumonia are still on the rise in Hong Kong, China and Vietnam, and a fourth outbreak may have struck Singapore. Health authorities have not identified the agent causing the flu-like illness, but say it is unusual because hospital workers appear to be particularly vulnerable.

Five more people in Hong Kong were diagnosed with atypical pneumonia on Friday, bringing the number up to 29.

A total of 43 people in Hong Kong have symptoms of a mysterious flu-like illness that experts say is spreading mostly in hospitals.

Adding to the mystery of the fast-spreading illness are similar hospital outbreaks in Vietnam and mainland China.

On Friday, after six people including two hospital staff became ill with pneumonia, the Singapore government warned its residents against any unnecessary travel to Hong Kong, Hanoi and Southern China

Earlier in the week a Chinese-American man died in a Hong Kong hospital after returning from a trip to Vietnam. The man was first hospitalized in Hanoi with flu-like symptoms. According to reports, more than 20 health workers in the Hanoi hospital subsequently became ill.

World Health Organization officials sent out a worldwide alert this week warning hospitals of the pneumonia outbreaks. WHO did not say if the Hanoi and Hong Kong outbreaks were related or if the man traveling between Vietnam and Hong Kong spread the illness.

Last month more than 300 people in China's Guangdong province were diagnosed with flu-like symptoms and atypical pneumonia. Five patients died.

A top scientist at Hong Kong University says the illness is unusual in that it does not strike those with compromised immune systems but healthy adults.

There is more news of a slow economy in Europe. For the first time in almost two years, the European Union has reported a zero growth rate for a three-month period.

The estimate comes from the EU's statistics agency, Eurostat, which is based in Luxembourg. It covers the first quarter of this year, and is based on information from seven of the EU's 15 countries, including the largest economies of Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.

This is the latest of several indicators, including rising unemployment, that paint a gloomy picture for the European economy. But EU economics spokesman Gerassimsos Thomas played down the report.

New York City has kicked off a year-long celebration to mark the 150th anniversary of Central Park, which was created from barren swampland in the heart of the city. It is considered the ultimate everyman's playground. The city will honor the park's sesquicentennial with a host of concerts, fireworks and special events.

Central Park is home to an array of sports enthusiasts, hobbyists, performers and many civic groups, all of whom use the park to pursue their passions. It is the single 337-hectare rectangle of woodlands and bridle trails, playgrounds and historic plazas, that provides an alluring stage for the pastimes of the 25 million people who visit the park each year.

Sara Cedar Miller is chief photographer and historian for the not for profit Central Park Conservancy, which has managed the park since 1980 and provides more than 85 percent of the park's annual $20-million operating budget. Ms. Miller has published a comprehensive history of Central Park, a work that took her 10 years to complete. She is one of the park's main cheerleaders.

U.S. troops are rapidly closing in on the Iraqi capital Baghdad, knocking out two divisions of Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard as they continue battles with Iraq's best trained troops less than 50 kilometers outside the capital. The Pentagon says Iraqi command and control has been significantly reduced but is warning the toughest fighting of the war and the real possibility that Iraq could now unleash chemical weapons, still lies ahead.

Pushing through the towns of Al-Kut and Karbala, U.S. forces are closing in on Baghdad in a multi-pronged approach, virtually wiping out two Republican Guard divisions, some units destroyed, others surrendering, but all no longer able mount a defense of the capital.

Charlie Sifford, George Simkins and Tiger Woods. Different generations and skill levels, but connected by their love of golf and a determination to get more African Americans involved.

Tiger Woods, 23, is the number-one golfer in the world. He has become the dominant player on the professional tour and has won 34 titles since 1996. His success, popularity, and competitive spirit have attracted thousands of young African Americans to take up the game. He has helped raise more than half a million dollars to fund junior golf programs for inner city minority youngsters.

Tiger Woods says he would not be where he is today without sacrifices from other African Americans. In the days of segregation in the United States, golf was a sport virtually off limits to blacks. They were barred from most publicly-owned golf courses. Instead they were forced to play on a few poorly maintained

Genetic engineering of crops has spread quickly since the first products of the early nineteen-nineties. Different nations develop such crops to meet different needs. As a result, the policies of some countries conflict with the policies of others.

The International Food Policy Research Institute is a private organization in Washington. In January, the group released a report that discusses the policies many countries have put in place. The report also discusses the problems of international trade in genetically engineered crops.

It says nine international organizations are currently competing to set rules for different areas of food safety. These groups include agricultural and health agencies of the United Nations. The World Trade Organization is also among them.

Some countries are more likely than others to approve and market genetically changed foods. The report says Canada, Japan, Mexico and the United States approve most newly engineered crops. Australia, the European Union and New Zealand, however, have delayed approvals in recent years because of concerns among citizens.

One issue is the use of special markings to let people know that a product has been genetically engineered. Some countries permit manufacturers to decide. Other nations require all products that contain more than one to five percent of genetically changed material to say so.

The International Food Policy Research Institute says six nations have the most established policies. These are Australia, Britain, China, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea.

The differences in policies are a good example of how difficult it is to develop international rules for genetically changed crops. Countries that do not require special markings may suffer in markets where the public desires such information. Also, the process for approving new genetically engineered crops has increased the time it takes for these products to come to market.

The United States, for example, has lost almost all its market for corn exports to the European Union. E-U officials have not approved new crops of genetically changed corn since nineteen-ninety-seven. At the same time, Argentina has exported huge amounts of such corn that already has E-U approval.

Next week, we will continue to examine international trade in genetically changed crops.

Time Flies marks Billy Ray Cyrus`s first album in four years. It lays to rest persistent rumors that the singer walked away from the music business due to country radio's lack of support behind his 1999 album, Southern Rain.

Billy Ray grew up in Flatwoods, Kentucky, near the point of the Ohio River where Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio meet. As a teenager, he listened to everyone from Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynard and British rock group Led Zeppelin to country legends like Bill Monroe and Hank Williams.

After gaining a regional reputation with his band, Sly Dog, Billy Ray headed to Los Angeles in 1984, to try his luck as a professional singer. The attempt failed, and he returned to Kentucky. Two years later, he and his band began making frequent trips to Nashville, where he made connections with people in the Country music industry. One of those he met was Grand Ole Opry star Del Reeves, who arranged some demo sessions for Billy Ray, and introduced him to artist manager Jack McFadden. He was signed to Mercury Records in 1990. In 1992, Billy Ray became an international superstar with his debut single, Achy Breaky Heart.

He parted with Mercury Records in 1999, and during the past three years, Billy Ray focused on his acting career. He stars in the cable television series Doc. Billy Ray plays Dr. Clint Cassidy, a country physician from Montana, who moves to New York City to be closer to his love interest.

Billy Ray was signed to Sony Music for the release of his new CD. But record company politics, including a lawsuit filed against the label by the Dixie Chicks, held up its release. The album was finally issued last month.

Billy Ray wrote or co-wrote seven of the tracks on Time Flies. He says some of the songs reflect a darker mood brought on by the September 11, 2001, attacks on America. And although the album's release was delayed, he feels the crisis in Iraq has made the collection even more timely.

Billy Ray will spend the next few months promoting Time Flies on a North American concert tour. Then, in mid-September, he'll begin production of the fourth season of Doc. The first three seasons were filmed in Toronto, Canada, but Billy Ray hopes production will be moved to Tennessee so he can be closer to his wife and six children. As if Billy Ray's schedule isn't busy enough, he'll soon have an inspirational CD out on Word Records, and he has a few motion pictures in the works.

The first single from Time Flies tell us the story about soldier who didn't survive in part of the post war occupying forces in the middle east. Here is Billy Ray Cyrus with Back to Memphis. I am Mary Morningstar.

The United Nations has launched a new ten-year campaign to increase literacy around the world. People with literacy skills can read and write. People who are not able to read and write are considered illiterate.

There are currently about eight-hundred-sixty-million illiterate people around the world. That is one out of every five adults over age fifteen. Two-thirds of them are women. In addition, more than one-hundred-thirteen-million children do not attend school and are failing to learn to read and write.

The main message of the U-N campaign is “Literacy as Freedom.” Deputy U-N Secretary General Louise Frechette launched the campaign in February during a special ceremony at U-N headquarters in New York City.

She said that literacy is needed for a healthy, fair and successful world. She also noted the importance of education for girls and women to improve conditions in developing countries. That is why the first two years of the campaign will be aimed at improving the literacy of females.

The U-N Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization will supervise the campaign. UNESCO head Koichiro Matsuura says the push for worldwide literacy is linked to human rights. He believes that literacy can help improve development and economic growth in poor countries.

The wife of President Bush, Laura Bush, was also present to launch the campaign. She said the United States plans to invest more than three-hundred-million dollars to support education in schools around the world. An estimated one-hundred-million dollars of that money will be spent in Africa. About seventy percent of the world’s illiterate adults live in South and West Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

The United Nations hopes the new campaign will help increase world literacy by fifty percent by the year two-thousand-fifteen. This is just one of six goals set during a world education meeting in Dakar, Senegal in two-thousand. However, officials say seventy-nine countries are currently at risk of not meeting the literacy goal.

The U-N says the literacy campaign will be a huge test. But it will also be an important chance to improve the lives of millions of people around the world.This VOA Special English Development Report was written by Jill Moss.

Orthodox Christians across Russia are celebrating Easter - the holiest event in the Christian calendar. Shortly after the end of all-night Easter services in Russia's churches, the country's president, Vladimir Putin, sent his greetings to Russian Christians.

In a message distributed by the presidential press service, Mr. Putin expressed his wishes for good health, happiness, and wellbeing to Orthodox Christians.

Mr. Putin also said that such large-scale celebrations of Easter in Russia are a clear sign that Christian traditions are being revived across the nation.
The Russian president praised the Russian Orthodox Church for calling for mutual understanding and tolerance, strengthening the family, and helping to bring up Russia's younger generation.

Mr. Putin, who was on a visit to Tajikistan, attended the Easter service at the Orthodox St. Nicolas Cathedral in the country's capital city, Dushanbe, late Saturday.

Worshipers also gathered for midnight Easter services at 16,000 churches across Russia.

The nation's main service was held at Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral. A delegation of priests and dignitaries carried oil lamps, which were said to contain holy fire from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, believed to be located on the burial place of Jesus. The fire was reportedly transported to the Cathedral straight from the airport after arriving from Jerusalem in a special container designed for the Olympic Flame.

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Alexei II, did not lead the service this year. According to Russian media, the 74-year-old patriarch is still recovering from flu and pneumonia, and doctors advised him against taking part in the hours-long liturgy.

Easter service marks the end of the 40-day Orthodox Fast, with believers joining family and friends early Sunday to eat Easter cakes and colored eggs.

Many people who come to Washington, D-C, act surprised when they first visit the United States National Arboretum. The National Arboretum is only a short drive from the center of the city. However, visitors to the Arboretum often feel like they are far from the busy American capital.

The National Arboretum covers one-hundred-eighty hectares of green space in the northeast part of Washington. The area is famous for its beautiful flowers, tall trees and other plants.

An arboretum is a place where trees and plants are grown for scientific and educational purposes. The National Arboretum was established by an act of Congress in Nineteen-Twenty-Seven. Today, the United States Department of Agriculture operates the Arboretum.

The goal of the Arboretum is to carry out studies and provide education in an effort to improve the environment. The goal includes protecting trees, flowers and other plants and showing them to the public.

The National Arboretum is a popular stop for visitors to Washington. About six-hundred-thousand people visit the Arboretum each year. It also has become famous through cooperative programs with many countries, including Austria, Japan and Russia.

Recently, the Secretary of Agriculture, Ann Veneman, opened a year-long celebration in honor of the National Arboretum’s seventy-fifth anniversary. Mizz Veneman praised the Arboretum as a national treasure.

As part of the celebration, Mizz Veneman assisted in the planting of a tree near the United States Capitol building. The tree -- a Sun Valley red maple -- is one of the many award-winning plants developed by Arboretum scientists.

The Sun Valley red maple was developed as part of a project to study the genetic qualities of leaf color and insect resistance. The tree produces leaves that remain bright red late into autumn. It was tested in the state of Maryland. The Sun Valley maple kept its colorful leaves for about two weeks before they fell to the ground. The tree also resisted the potato leafhopper, an insect that feeds on the leaves of trees.

American Agriculture Department officials say they expect the Sun Valley red maple will be ready for sale to the general public next year.
