    The official merchandise Web site for President George W. Bush's re-election campaign has sold clothing made in Burma, whose goods were banned by Bush from the U.S. last year.

     

    The merchandise sold on www.georgewbushstore.com includes a $49.95 fleece pullover, embroidered with the Bush-Cheney '04 logo and bearing a label stating it was made in Burma, now Myanmar. The jacket was sent to Newsday as part of an order that included a shirt made in Mexico and a hat not bearing a country-of-origin label.

     

    Bush last July signed into law the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act, saying "The United States will not waver from its commitment to the cause of democracy and human rights in Burma."

     

    Burmese textile workers earn as little as 7 cents per hour.

    African hunters infected by AIDS-like virus


    The Associated Press


    LONDON - African ape hunters are being infected by the same class of viruses that causes AIDS, scientists say, raising fears of a possible epidemic of a new disease.


     The transmission has been seen previously among animal researchers and zoo workers.


    Scientists say the AIDS epidemic that emerged in the 1980s was the result of cross-species transmissions of another monkey virus, simian immunodeficiency viruses, or SIV, to people several decades earlier.

    Swearing on stage could cost stars $500


    Officials in Florida want to fine rockers for swearing during public performances.


    City councillors want to charge $500 (£272) for each swear word.


    "We can't be the morality police, and we can't be the constant saviors of the First Amendment. But we can dictate what goes on in our public parks."


    They want promoters to put up a $10,000 cash bond (£5,450) for each concert at a city park.


    The City Council still has to decide which words will be included on the list,

    Kids wander with Wordsworth to world record
    		  






    Fri Mar 19, 8:47 AM ET



    LONDON (Reuters) - Thousands of children have recited William Wordsworth's "Daffodils" in unison, eclipsing the previous mass poetry world record.






     

    At the last count, 266,000 children from more than 1,100 schools nationwide launched into 'I wandered lonely as a cloud', the famous opening line written by the Lake District poet 200 years ago.


    "I am confident we have achieved a new world record this morning," a Wordsworth Trust spokesman said.


     



      I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD


    I wandered lonely as a cloud
    That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
    When all at once I saw a crowd,
    A host, of golden daffodil;
    Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
    Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

    Continuous as the stars that shine
    And twinkle on the milky way,
    They stretched in never-ending line
    Along the margin of a bay:
    Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
    Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

    The waves beside them danced; but they
    Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
    A poet could not but be gay,
    In such a jocund company:
    I gazed and gazed but little thought
    What wealth the show to me had brought:

    For oft, when on my couch I lie
    In vacant or in pensive mood,
    They flash upon that inward eye
    Which is the bliss of solitude;
    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils.

    William Wordsworth, 1804

    9 YEARS AGO TODAY



    Mar 20 1995 


    Members of the Aum cult release Sarin nerve gas in the Tokyo subway. Eleven people die and 5,500 are injured. The cult's doctrine of "Poa" make mass murder the way to save their own souls. They had intended eventually to produce 70 tons of the gas.


    On February 27, 2004, Shoko Asahara, the founder of the AUM Shinrikyo cult had been sentenced to death in the Tokyo District Court after being convicted on 13 charges that claimed the lives of 27 victims.


    As the original members of Aum face the courts on an almost daily basis, the remnants of the sect are showing signs of rebirth.


     Loyal cult members are still making preparations for the Judgment Day. They believe that when that day comes, the entire population of the world will be annihilated.

  • Pupils turn tables on red light teachers


    A group of Swedish teachers are in trouble after they were filmed by pupils going off with prostitutes while on a school trip.


    The school trip had been arranged as a "friendship" mission so that the youngsters, aged between 16 and 18, could build links with the people of Kenya.


     "We went to Kenya to help people and then our teachers exploited them. It was disgusting."
