Clinton’s Vision: Aligning Business and Philanthropy
As positive examples, Clinton cites his experiences in Haiti with the Digicel Group, which employs 70,000 people, and a fund for entrepreneurs established by billionaires Carlos Slim and Frank Giustra. He lauds companies such as Walmart, Google, and Procter & Gamble for having “shifted their corporate culture from promoting social responsibility to increasing shared value.” He references the shift in the pharmaceutical industry from a “low-volume, high-margin business to a low-margin, high-volume one with guaranteed payments” that is helping millions of people with HIV/AIDS “at much lower costs while also improving the profitability of the companies involved.” http://www.nonprofitquarterly.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19306:clintons-vision-aligning-business-and-philanthropy&catid=155:nonprofit-newswire&Itemid=986

Norman Finds Comfort Zone With Clinton
Greg Norman did not expect to like President Bill Clinton, whose politics he opposed.“I actually was very reluctant to do it because I’m a bit more pro-Republican than I am a Democrat,” he said Wednesday. Norman added: “And I didn’t really like the way the first two years of his presidency was going. I just didn’t feel comfortable with it from my own personal beliefs. So I actually came to a judgment decision saying I don’t want to play because of his political position.”

VIDEO Bill Clinton tackles childhood obesity
This is definitely an important cause. Now if I can bring to Clinton's attention this: Learning how to read food labels is very important BUT I am finding many have errors. For example, how can a Thomas English muffin with enriched wheat flour as the #1 ingredient have 8grams of fiber per serving size listed but another Thomas English muffin of the same weight in grams state whole wheat flour as the #1 ingredient but only has 5 grams of fiber in equal serving size? This example is not due to one company trying to outdo the other. When 2 companies are compared I have observed even more errors. How can this be? Aren't these food labels required to be accurate? http://video.msnbc.msn.com/nightly-news/46032064/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter#46032064

Bill Clinton to address major Jewish Federation funders
Bill Clinton is scheduled to address the King David Society, the grouping of donors of at least $25,000 to the Jewish Federations of North America.
It's happening in Florida -- Palm Beach -- at the end of the March, just as the election transitions (one would imagine) from "primaries" to "general."

How did Thomas Caplan and Bill Clinton become friends?
y virtue of the alphabet, Bill Clinton and I were assigned rooms a few doors from each other on the second floor of Loyola Hall. We met at a corridor meeting that evening and there began a friendship that led to our being roommates a few years later and that has remained uninterrupted, even by a single memorable argument, to this day. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/thomas-caplan/bill-clinton-thriller-reader_b_1196463.html

AUDIO 'Spy': A Nuclear Caper, With A Nod From Clinton
"I was a student at Georgetown University. When we arrived as heady freshmen in 1964, because of the alphabet, I was assigned a room next to Bill Clinton," Caplan tells Morning Edition host Linda Wertheimer. "And we've remained friends ever since."
Such good friends, in fact, that Clinton not only helped edit an earlier draft of Caplan's novel but also wrote an introduction for it.

Bill Clinton Has a Healthy Appetite for Diet Books
His first three endorsements of diets, which came during the original 2010 Wolf Blitzer interview, foreshadowed his recent burst. “This movement has been lead by a doctor named Caldwell Esselstyn Jr. at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Dean Ornish out in California, the doctors [T. Colin and Thomas] Campbell, father and son.” This foursome has produced a collection of notable diet books: Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Esselstyn; Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease and the Campbells’ China Study. The common message of these doctor-authors, based on decades of studies, is that not only can heart disease be headed off, it can be reversed by a spare yet nutritious diet.
