Clinton Foundation

George,

2012 has been quite a year, thanks to the unwavering support and dedication of people like you.

We broke ground on a new soy production facility in Rwanda. We have performed 45,000 cataract surgeries in Peru. More than 4,200 new jobs have been created in Colombia as a result of our efforts to help small producers connect with bigger markets. In Haiti, we brought together more than 1,600 investors and donors resulting in more than $150 million in investment to spur recovery and economic growth. Here in the United States, we've expanded our healthy schools program to 15,000 schools and we're growing our retrofit program to help more businesses and homeowners save energy costs while also combating climate change.

And that's just the start. Last month, we announced a brand new program – the Clinton Health Matters Initiative – to empower people of all ages across the U.S. to live a healthier lifestyle and to inspire individuals, communities, and corporations to make health and wellness a priority.

All of these things are making the world a better place, and all of them have been accomplished because of supporters like you. Thank you!

In the coming year, I hope you'll continue to share your gifts when and where you can, to give new hope to those who need it, and to foster positive change in your own backyard and in regions around the world.

I wish you and your family a healthy and happy holiday season, and all the best in the coming new year.

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who skipped an overseas trip this past week because of a stomach virus, sustained a concussion after fainting, the State Department said Saturday.

The 65-year-old Clinton, who's expected to leave her job soon, was recovering at home after the incident last week and is being monitored by doctors, according to a statement by aide Philippe Reines.

No further details were immediately available.

President Barack Obama telephoned his top diplomat Saturday to wish her well, a White House official said.

The State Department said Clinton was dehydrated because of the virus, fainted and sustained a concussion. She will continue to work from home in the week ahead and looks forward to returning to the office "soon," the statement said.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee said it won't hear from Clinton as planned at a Thursday hearing into the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador. The House Foreign Affairs Committee also said Clinton would no longer give scheduled testimony at its hearing Thursday on Libya.

Senior State Department officials William Burns and Thomas Nides are to take Clinton's place at both hearings.

Clinton's aides on Saturday informed the Senate committee chairman, Sen. John Kerry, about her health, and the Massachusetts Democrat "insisted that given her condition, she could not and should not appear" as planned, said Kerry spokeswoman Jodi Seth. Obama is expected to nominate Kerry to succeed Clinton.

Clinton backed out of a trip to North Africa and the Persian Gulf on Monday because she was sick. She caught the virus during a recent visit to Europe.

The former first lady is known for her grueling travel schedule and is the most traveled secretary of state, having visited 112 countries while in the job.

Reines says she is recovering at home. At the recommendation of her doctors, she will continue to work from home next week, while staying in regular contact with State Department and other officials.

Clinton canceled plans this week to travel to the Middle East and north Africa because of her stomach virus.

The secretary of state and former U.S. first lady is 65 years old.

George Palaganas Prince Charles' Royal Christmas Card (No Prince William or Kate Middleton in Sight!)—Check It Out!

There's something missing from Prince Charles' royal Christmas card.

There's no Prince William or pregnant Kate Middleton!

The palace has just released the Prince of Wales' official season's greeting and it turns out that Charles has chosen a photo of himself and wife Camilla from this year's Diamond Jubilee as the centerpiece for their holiday card.

Update on Kate Middleton's pranked nurse Jacintha Saldanha

In the shot, Charles and Camilla are all smiles as they wave to fans during last June's Thames river pageant honoring the Queen Elizabeth II's 60-year reign over the British Empire. Charles is dressed formally in his Royal Navy uniform while his lady wears a white coat and coordinating gloves and hat.

"Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year," the card reads.

Now all we need is a Christmas car from you two, Will and Kate!

George Palaganas John Kerry set to become next US Secretary of State
John Kerry has emerged as the clear favourite to become the next US Secretary of State, even as Democrats raged over the successful Republican effort to drive Susan Rice, the UN Ambassador, out of contention.

Miss Rice's decision to withdraw from consideration after weeks of attacks over her role in the US response to the Benghazi consulate killings leaves the Massachusetts senator with no real competition for the job of America's top diplomat.

Democrats said they expected Mr Kerry would easily be confirmed as Hillary Clinton's replacement at the State Department, although leading members of the party struck out at the "outrageous" onslaught against Miss Rice.

Mr Kerry, 69, has made no secret of his desire to take charge of the State Department and a growing consensus in Washington suggested that he was likely to be appointed by President Barack Obama within weeks.

"There have been no other names that have been circulated so I think it's fair to say that John Kerry is the clear favourite," PJ Crowley, Mrs Clinton's former spokesman, told the Daily Telegraph. "I would be very surprised if it wasn't him".

Mr Kerry had hoped to be appointed to the post after Mr Obama's first election victory in 2008 but in the interim four years has burnished his credentials by chairing the Senate's powerful foreign affairs committee. The Vietnam veteran and 2004 presidential contender further endeared himself to the White House by playing the role of Mitt Romney in Mr Obama's debate rehearsals, and savaging the Republicans on foreign policy during the 2012 campaign.

Commentary: Susan Rice’s departure is a blessing in disguise for Obama

14 Dec 2012

Republicans have indicated that they would support his appointment and John McCain, the senator who led the attacks on Miss Rice, has taken to jokingly referring to him as "Mr Secretary".

Mr Obama was due to meet Miss Rice privately at the White House on Friday in a show of support after weeks of attacks from Republicans who accused her of deliberately misleading the public by claiming the Benghazi attack was the result of a spontaneous protest.

"The personal attacks against Ambassador Rice by certain Republican senators have been outrageous and utterly unmoored from facts and reality," said Sen Harry Reid, the Democrat leader in the Senate.
