Clinton regrets lack of progress

Speaking to a black think tank, the former president offered a somber, sorrowful reflection on the end of his time in the White House and his failed effort to spark a national debate about race relations.
The current immigration debate in the country is further proof that important racial problems have yet to be solved. Clinton told the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.
"The idea that I live in a country I spent my lifetime trying to make better, but there's still hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people, most of them people of color, who will die before their time, drop out of school, go to prison, never have a chance to live their dreams, is
gallling and painful to me," Clinton said.
"One of the great regrets of my public life is that for all the progress we made in so many areas we are still losing so many of our young people of color, disproportionately African-American males," he said.
The former president urged private citizens to take action on racial issues, saying disasters like the tsunami in Asia and Hurricane Katrina show non-governmental organizations can rebuild and improve society.
"I don't know how you have a great country that is a beacon of hope for the world for peace and freedom and democracy if you let a third of any group of people wind up going to prison sometime in their lives," said Clinton.
A 2005 government report found that 8.4 percent of the country's black men between the ages of 25 and 29 were in state or federal prison, compared with 2.5 percent of Hispanic men and 1.2 percent of white men in the same age group.

Producer Eden Orfanos said some sticky situations had arisen in the past with women auditioning. She said the crew often had to deal with situations such as jealous boyfriend and fraternity men who wanted to see the models finding the location of the shoots.
Orfanos takes care of the make-up, hair-styling and wardrobe for all of the pictorials.
After the women are photographed, their photos will be pre-edited by Rams, packaged and sent to the corporate office in Chicago to be edited. Then the photos go to Hugh Hefner for the final say.
Both Berry and Linnen said making the issue would be great publicity for their prospective careers. Berry is majoring in sociology and communications, and Linnen is majoring in education and communications.

North Korea nuclear talks remain stalled
WORLD
Discussions to end program not expected any time soon
BY KWANG-TAE KIM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — The top U.S. negotiator on ending North Korea's nuclear program renewed his call for the country to rejoin six-party talks, but said after meeting officials from other key nations that he didn't expect it to happen soon.
U. S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill held a round of meetings with counterparts on the North Korea talks from Japan, South Korea and China on Tuesday on the
sidelines of a security conference in Tokyo.
"My understanding is that the DPRK is still not willing to rejoin the six-party process," Hill told reporters late Tuesday. DPRK stands for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
North Korea's delegate to the nuclear talks, Kim Kye Gwan, was also attending the conference.
Hill denied reports he met with North Korean and Chinese nuclear envoys for talks on Tuesday evening. U.S. and North Korean officials have refused to confirm any official contact between the two sides.
This week's security meetings had raised hopes about the possibility of restarting talks that have been stalled since last year on ending
North Korea's nuclear program in exchange for aid.
North Korea has boycotted the six-party nuclear talks since November, citing what it calls a hostile U.S. attitude illustrated by the sanctions it has imposed.
North Korea's Kim said Monday he is prepared to meet bilaterally with the U.S., but has not backed away from his insistence that Pyongyang will return to the negotiating table only if the U.S. lifts financial sanctions.
Washington maintains that sanctions on North Korean companies for alleged financial crimes are unrelated to the nuclear talks and will stay in place.
Hill described his Tuesday morning meeting with China's top nuclear envoy, Wu Dawei, as "very excellent" and said Beijing was committed to resolving the standoff through dialogue.
"We discussed the way forward in the six-party process," Hill said, without giving details. "We discussed some specific ideas about how we can make the process move ahead."
Hill also met South Korea's Chun and Japan's Kenichiro Sasae.
Chun told reporters after meeting with Hill that North Korea seems to be considering talks, but that "it is difficult to say at this point whether it will lead to a resumption."
The security conference's agenda will focus on energy, verification processes regarding the North's nuclear program and ways to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula, according to the sponsors, University of California, San Diego.
