Lloyd Dean: The medicine man of Dignity HealthJanuary 9, 2013: 5:00 AM ET
He's pals with Obama, he can outcharm a Kennedy, and he's networked to the hilt. So how come you don't know health care CEO Lloyd Dean?
By David A. Kaplan, contributor
FORTUNE -- It's pretty hard to upstage Ted Kennedy, who could hold forth over an audience like few others. But that's the talent of Lloyd Dean, a top chief executive in health care. Some years before Kennedy died in 2009, he was supposed to introduce Dean at the Washington Hilton to a big group of executives, policy wonks, and congressional staffers. Dean was head of Catholic Healthcare West, one of the country's largest nonprofit health care systems, with 43 hospitals in California, Arizona, and Nevada, and more than 50,000 employees. What Dean lacks in height -- he's maybe 5-foot-8 -- he makes up in savoir-faire. Before Kennedy arrived, Dean did what he always does -- shake hands, pepper questions, tell stories, smile, and engage. When the senator showed up, he admiringly took note. "This guy doesn't need me," Kennedy told Dean's colleague. "He works a room better than me!"
As CEO of San Francisco-based Dignity Health -- as of early 2012, the new brand name for Catholic Healthcare West -- the 62-year-old Dean has been working rooms at corporate and civic levels for more than a decade. In his manner and method, Dean has come to stand out as an unconventional leader in a staid, grave industry. Before a dinner crowd he can kid about his "brother-to-brother" relationship with Barack Obama over the past four years. Before a small audience of hospital employees, he's all too happy to praise the colonoscopy he received just upstairs. To check up on "customer service" at his hospitals, he's been known to put on a sweats-and-sunglasses disguise in the lobby -- the better to hear what they're complaining about. (The No. 1 beef: parking!) When Dean has heard enough, he'll send around JUST THINKING memos to staff, which pretty much amount to JUST FIX it directives. "Lloyd cuts a wide swath," says John Stumpf, the CEO of Wells Fargo (WFC).
And so Dean has become the most connected Bay Area CEO you've never heard of. Yes, there are high-achieving nontech CEOs in the Bay Area. He's led the little-noticed fiscal turnaround of his company. His personal network includes not only the President of the United States but the president of the San Francisco Giants. He sits on the board of Wells Fargo. Unions get along with him. He has potential deals in the works with tech giants like Apple (AAPL) and Salesforce (CRM). And he's an investor in Prospect, the chic new SoMa restaurant that serves such goodies as Snake River Farms Kobe Bavette with Marrow Glazed Banana Fingerling Potatoes and Hen of the Woods Mushroom Jus. The locals say he could take a run at the mayoralty someday.
MORE: 2013: The year we become the health care nation
Dean is well regarded by these constituencies, as well as his own employees. "He commands respect," says the Silicon Valley angel investor Ron Conway. "He's a go-to community leader," says Larry Baer, CEO of the Giants, for which Dignity was a main sponsor for the team's 2012 World Series parade and which houses a Dignity clinic inside the ballpark. As the leader of a faith-based nonprofit -- the majority of whose hospitals have a Catholic designation -- Dean has proved particularly adept at balancing religiosity and secularity, quite a feat considering he's not even Catholic. But he is: a champagne connoisseur; a fan of Howard Stern; the owner of 700 cuff links; and a neat freak. He once teasingly placed a MOVING? Post-it in an employee's cubicle that had boxes stacked everywhere. That bellowing laugh by the elevators is Dean arriving early every morning at work.
Now Dean has entered the national stage. He has been an ardent support of Obamacare, despite being a CEO of a hospitals corporation that in the short run stands to see its Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements go down as much as $700 million over the next decade. Because he's close to the President -- the two meet or talk every few months -- Dean has been mentioned as a possible cabinet member in Obama's second term. And Dignity Health these days is in an acquisitive mood. In late summer it closed on the $450 million purchase of nondenominational U.S. HealthWorks, the largest independent operator of occupational medicine and urgent-care centers in the country; the purchase extends Dignity's reach into 16 new states, and Dignity plans to expand U.S. HealthWorks nationally. With an idea to spend $1 billion to $2 billion on buying up other health care providers -- the better to compete in the era of Obamacare -- Dean says he aims to be in a majority of states and to triple revenue by 2020, taking his regional nonprofit from the fifth-largest American health system in terms of net patient revenue to No. 3.
Dean arrived in San Francisco in 2000 and transformed Catholic Healthcare West, which at the time had been losing a million dollars a day for three years. Other companies might have gone under. Today, rechristened Dignity Health has made money every year since 2002. Even with a lousy overall fiscal year ending June 30 -- which was due to weak investment earnings rather than fundamentals in its health care business -- revenue was a record $10.5 billion, up about 2%. (It also had $3.4 billion in long-term debt as of that date.) But more than the cold numbers, it is Dean's soft-power leadership style that's made his reputation. "Because of his directness, his diplomacy, his advocacy, and his fairness, he has more credibility with elected officials here than almost any other corporate executive," says Willie Brown, 78, former mayor of San Francisco, consummate California pol, and a Dean confidant and mentor. Dean still talks to Brown every week. One of the conditions of Dean's investment in Prospect was that the no-tablecloths restaurant keep a tablecloth available for when he and the tablecloth-insistent Brown dine together.
Kathleen Sebelius, the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, says Dean is in "the constellation of the 10 health care leaders I rely on or bounce ideas off of." But she cited something else about Dean. "Whenever we have a policy conversation about business, he never fails to ask, 'So, how are you? Are you getting enough sleep? Is there anything I can do for you?'" she told Fortune. "A lot of people with whom I have this kind of conversation reply, 'Fine, that's good,' and move on. Lloyd isn't like that -- there's a personal side that isn't phony or fake."
Be it sincerity or shrewdness (probably some of both), Dean's means are a pretty good way to do business.
The wonder about Lloyd Dean might be that he got anywhere at all. Dean's was not an idyllic upbringing in western Michigan. He remains deeply conflicted over his childhood, the only subject that dims his resolutely luminous personality. On the one hand he discovered resilience and self-discipline and faith every Sunday at the Mount Calvary Baptist Church not far from home. On the other hand he saw the burdens of poverty and broken dreams.
MORE: The supercomputer will see you now
Raised in an African-American enclave in Muskegon, Dean was the second-oldest of nine children. His father was a foundry worker, and his mother was a homemaker. For years the family was on and off welfare. They had no health insurance. The first time Dean visited a doctor was when he was in junior high and needed a physical to play football. At the middle-class school to which he was bused, Dean says he was fascinated to hear classmates talk of such things as "I'm going to the dentist." Though his parents hadn't gone to college, they stressed to Dean and his siblings the importance of good grades. "I knew by 6 or 7 -- maybe it was God's gift," Dean says, "there had to be a better life. I'm going to get out of this community." With student loans, he wound up being the "first person in my entire community" to attend college.
His late father, Floyd, never earning more than $9,000 a year, was a heartbreakingly difficult person. When Lloyd walked out the door at 18 to catch the Greyhound to go off to Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, his mother gave him $50, which he said was "like her giving me $50,000." "Good luck," she told him. "I'm praying for you." His father was lying on the couch. "Dad, I'm leaving to go to school," Dean said. His father's reply: "Oh. See you." Dean still laments the scene. "That," he recalls, "was it."
Dean dwells a lot on his father, who died in 2008. "It's a whole thing to try to psychoanalyze your dad," he says. "He was a very intellectually smart man. When people in the community would get legal papers, they would come to my dad to interpret them. I think he lived in frustration because he didn't do more with his life." Dean's father made him pay rent during the summers, out of the money he earned working a paper route or picking blueberries. Dean says his father could be explosive, like the time he accepted a winter coat from his sixth-grade teacher. "I feared my dad," he says. "You just never knew what would set him off. I would never want another human being to go through what I went through with him growing up."
And yet, even as he acknowledges that "I've blocked out part of my childhood," Dean says his was a "good father," with whom he ultimately reconciled. How could that be, knowing all that Dean has come to know in the field of health care, where many of his community hospitals serve families not so different than his was once upon a time? "My father gave me fortitude. There's no business problem that comes close to the magnitude of the ingenuity and creativity that I had to use to survive my childhood. My dad helped me see a few things that I wanted to be, but candidly a lot of things I didn't ever want to be. I'm a better executive and leader because of it."
MORE: The next entitlement crisis: Medicaid spending threatens education
At Western Michigan University, where he received a bachelor's degree in sociology and a master's in education, Dean early on demonstrated a knack for leadership. He had many friends, was active in student government, and was clever enough to be on the committee that decided which concerts would be held on campus. More formative, though, was how he handled pressure from students in the school's Black Action Movement. WMU was mostly white. Dean's roommate was a high school football buddy -- who was white. "About 45 days in," Dean says, "I got a knock on the door from the president of BAM, who told me, 'You're from a hick town and don't understand the times or the issues -- we want you to come into the black dorm.'" Dean said no. "I'm all about the movement, but I'm not going to change," he answered. "He's my friend." He found UNCLE TOM and WHITE LOVER signs on his door. He was threatened. But in time BAM left Dean alone.
After graduating in 1972, Dean taught junior high and an occasional course in communications at WMU. For a couple of months he filled in as the sleep-deprived 5 a.m. news anchor for WOTV of Battle Creek, Mich. It was in 1978 at a WMU event that he got his break into corporate America. He met Larry Hoff, a top executive at a prominent company in the area, Upjohn; Hoff knew of Dean's civic activities and invited him to visit the pharmaceutical giant's sprawling glass-and-granite headquarters in Kalamazoo.
Dean was bedazzled. "It was like in the movies -- I was this little teacher from Muskegon asked up to the C-suite in Building 88," he says. The Upjohn folks said he had natural leadership skills. "I see in you things that you don't even see in yourself," Hoff counseled him. But Dean turned down Hoff's job offers multiple times. The way he saw it, he was already rich, making $13,000 -- $4,000 more than his father ever made. And he loved teaching, hoping to be a superintendent of schools. But after friends told him, "Are you a fool, Lloyd?" Dean relented. At 28, he began a new career, as a $30,000-a-year assistant regional manager in Upjohn's health care services division, soon switching places with the regional manager. Over the course of 14 years, he rose to be EVP of operations for the entire company.
MORE: How Medtronic sells to doctors and patients
When Upjohn got rid of his division in 1992 and his bid to buy it fell short, Dean left for the faith-based nonprofit Evangelical Health Systems (now known as Advocate Health Care) in suburban Chicago, to run its home health care division. He already knew firsthand the weight that health care could be, having recently watched his older brother die of AIDS. "When you deal with a family member like that," he says, "you see nuances that nothing else can teach you." In 2000, Dean was about to be named Advocate's CEO when he got a call from a headhunter for Catholic Healthcare West. That system, because of its dire finances, was having trouble finding new leadership. Dean was curious.
He met with CHW's "sponsors" -- industry lingo for the organization of Catholic sisters who in effect controlled the corporation. Though the Sisters of Mercy had been ministering to the poor and sick in the Bay Area since the days of the Gold Rush, CHW dated only to 1986, when two congregations linked their hospitals. The business plan was efficiency, and CHW thrived into the early 1990s. But complacency set in.
Dean took the job and headed west. He would be staying in faith-based nonprofit health care -- with a system four times the size of Advocate's -- but he would have the chance to save a company. Which he did, chiefly by eliminating overhead. Each of CHW's hospitals functioned autonomously. Dean saved $100 million by getting rid of 300 middle managers. But integrating CHW's different facilities was as much cultural as administrative. Even when goals were set, executives weren't held accountable. "It took some serious brass to get everyone to change," says Andy Pines, a managing director of Citi's Healthcare Group in San Francisco, which has advised Dean's company for years.
What Dean did was mandate measurable goals for each hospital. They could be as simple as ensuring that patients with cardiac issues were given an aspirin in a certain amount of time. Or they could be strategic, like requiring 3% annual revenue growth in patient billing that's covered by insurance, which meant a hospital would have to contract with more insurers -- even as it nurtured its principal mission to care for the underserved. His company was a nonprofit, but that hardly meant it didn't have to fight in what Dean calls "a competitive world."
In that competitive world -- which includes for-profit health systems as well as nonprofits like Dignity -- Dean is nicely paid. He lives in a house on the Pacific Coast with his wife of 38 years. His golf handicap is 17. His total compensation is roughly $3.8 million; in the fabulously successful fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, he made $5.1 million (almost half of it in bonuses and incentives). Even so, in the same job in a for-profit health system, he'd probably make three to five times more.
MORE: The bloody patent battle over a healing machine
Dignity's current challenge, alongside national expansion, is maintaining equilibrium between its Catholic identity and its growing secular footprint. Its name change reflected an attempt to get away from a purely religious brand, given that so many of its facilities are independent of the church. But lingering institutional ambivalence abounds. In the boardroom there's a wooden cross on the wall, while on an adjacent wall are large photographs of secular icons of social justice like Nelson Mandela and Cesar Chavez. The vice chair of the board is a Sister. One of Dignity's top executives is a lesbian -- and a former Sister. The internal politics of the company mean balancing the relatively liberal values of many in the Sisters of Mercy with the conservative views of bishops in many communities where it does business.
The most dramatic instance of tension over religion happened a few years back at St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix. After the hospital ethics committee determined that saving the life of a woman required termination of her 11-week pregnancy, the bishop of Phoenix ruled that the "direct abortion" violated Catholic law. As a result, he found that the Sister who sat on the ethics committee "automatically excommunicated" herself from the church. Later, when St. Joseph's refused to acknowledge error, the bishop effectively excommunicated the hospital as well. (Symbolism aside, the bishop's step meant only that Catholic Mass could no longer be celebrated there.)
In the aftermath, Dean threaded the corporate and religious needles. Behind the scenes, he made sure the hospital stuck to its principles. At the same time he tried to assuage the bishop; in one private letter, Dean -- referring to a "range of conclusions" from "many knowledgeable moral theologians" -- suggested "one must at least acknowledge this is a very complex matter, on which the best minds disagree." The bishop fired back that he alone had the "authority to interpret the moral law and to teach the Catholic faith as a Successor of the Apostles." Dean didn't react. Even now he's reluctant to agitate the bishop. If pressed, he offers only, "I think the issue demonstrates the complexity of what I do compared to CEOs who don't deal with church-related issues."
Dean's been doing it impressively for a long time. What next? He professes no interest in another corporate post or a cabinet appointment or running for City Hall. He loves the promise that Dignity Health holds. It can be bigger, kinder, more innovative: Obamacare is an opportunity for health care systems that embrace it. Better marketing and brand management can boost the bottom line. Collaborations with Silicon Valley companies can lead to mobile apps that benefit both patient and Dignity. There seems to be no end to Dean's aspirations at his company. Gazing out at San Francisco Bay from his office, he's contemplative. "I love what I've been able to do in this job," he says. "I hope I've provided an example."
His might even make his father proud.

False hope in wage increase
Last month, the legislature's Labor and Public Employees Committee voted to draft legislation increasing Connecticut's minimum wage. It has been $8.25 since 2010; under the new legislation, it would increase to $9 in July 2013 and $9.75 in July 2014. The effort to increase the minimum wage doesn't seem to have momentum, and that is good news.
Simply put, Connecticut cannot afford an increase. Upticks often cause hardship for businesses and their customers. Businesses may be forced to spend beyond their means, resulting in more expensive goods and services. Some jobs may be cut. Young people would be most likely to lose jobs.

One blade switch is a 5-way pickup selector, and the other is a 3-way mode switch that allows you to select between the singlecoil, clear humbucking and heavy humbucking modes. One of PRS' most versatile instruments, the 513 now comes standard with a maple top, V12 finish, and Pattern Regular mahogany neck with an East Indian rosewood fretboard.
V12 Finish
Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood's inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars' new "V12" finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, "V12" is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. "PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments," said Paul Reed Smith.
Pattern Regular Shape
Neck shapes have always been a high priority for PRS and a hallmark of PRS quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like "home," as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. The new "Pattern Regular" neck shape is similar to the traditional PRS regular neck found on guitars made in the late 80's at PRS's former Virginia Avenue location.
This new neck shape reflects modern tooling and programming that allows PRS to even more preciously shape and consistently reproduce their necks.
If you're seeking an instrument with exceptional tonal versatility coupled with exquisite craftsmanship, the 513 should be on your short list.

Comments about PRS 513 Electric Guitar:
Great guitar, amazing feel to it, and it sounds amazing. The tone switch/humbucker switch really add to the versatility of sounds you can get. Looks beautiful, sounds even better. High quality guitar that you can play for life if you take good care of it.
Great for professional musicians who need a high quality tool for recording that can handle clean / distortion. Same goes for the professional who needs a versatile instrument for live shows.
This is my favorite guitar.

Comments about PRS 513 Electric Guitar:
I've got the PRS Studio with the regular pattern neck and absolutely love it! So I had zero issues about how this guitar should feel, it's basically the same format just different electronics. I find that PRS guitars are usually quite tonefull and the craftsmanship is always impressive. The single coil mode is crisp and quiet, ideal for recording. The other two humbucker modes are nice as well. If I have a grievance it's the lack of dual humbucker mode for the guitar. PRS has an option to install a push/pull that will give you this option, but for the coin you're putting down it should already be on the guitar. Other than that, it's a great guitar with incredible tones. Yeah, you're going to spend some coin on it but, it's worth it.
Comments about PRS 513 Electric Guitar:
One of the best sounding guitars I have. The playability is second to none. Everything I play just sounds a little better on this axe. neck and fret board are like buttah. nearly endless tonal possibilities. Cleanest clean and the dirtiest dirty are all possible. Bell chimes to wicked controlled feedback. Awesome guitar. I will be looking for another PRS soon. I wanted something that would do it all and this one does.
This rig is a beauty to look at but has loads of sounds too. Many switching options. Locking tuners are a plus
Top notch product. Highest quality woods, construction. Definitely one of the best out there.
You get a lot for your money with PRS guitars in my opinion. I looked at a lot of guitars before buying this one.
Comments about PRS 513 Electric Guitar:
Great guitar, action was a little high but did a quick truss rod adjustment and it was fine. Beautiful finish. I have the faded blue burst and it is very nice. Clean sound is very good and smooth but its still a solidbody. Rock and dirty sounds are excellent. Very fit and finish overall and looks and sounds great.
13 different sounds
Flawless finish
Pretty expensive but hey, its a PRS
Comments about PRS 513 Electric Guitar:
I just received my new 513 yesterday and I was blown away. A little nervous ordering a guitar without playing it but I found I really had nothing to worry about. Out of the case this guitar played so smooth and so easy I was overwhelmed with joy. The guitar's playablilty and feel were incredible and the tone was awesome! If you want a versatile guitar that can play clean country to the dirtiest dirty, this is your axe. Thanks PRS!!!

The Daily Star
---- — VESTAL — From start to finish Sunday, Oneonta High junior Mariah Ruff put on a show at Binghamton University's Events Center.
One big shot in overtime by teammate Minnie Webster fell into the show-stopper category, though.
Webster's three-pointer with 4.1 seconds left in overtime — off a pass from Ruff — lifted the Yellowjackets to a thrilling, 57-56 victory over Horseheads in the Southern Tier Athletic Conference girls basketball championship game.
"I had a feeling," Webster said of the final shot winding up in her hands. "(Ruff) looked like she had people all over her and I just knew it was going to kick to me and I knew I had to shoot it."
The senior's shot from the left wing encountered ever-so-slight contact with iron as it passed through the rim. Following a last-second, half-court heave by Horseheads' Ellie Leszyk that fell way short of the basket, Webster's teammates lifted her onto their shoulders and carried her off the court.
Though Webster's shot placed an exclamation point at the end of a wildly entertaining title game, Ruff's game-long excellence shouldn't be forgotten any time soon by the many fans who witnessed it.
From those two NBA-range three-pointers she swished early in the second quarter, to the numerous dribble-draw-and-dish assists — three of the no-look variety — to those powerful legs that helped her spring for deflections and rebounds, Ruff possibly played her best game in an OHS uniform.
The final count showed 21 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists — numbers that may have necessitated Ruff's trip to the office of Binghamton University women's basketball coach Nicole Scholl about 10 minutes after the game.
"I thought she did a great job of managing the tempo of the game, her shot selection was great and she obviously got some people open," OHS coach Matt Miller said of Ruff. "I thought she played unbelievably well. There was just an intensity and energy about her. She's a gamer. The bigger the stage, the harder she plays and you could see that tonight."
It marked OHS' second STAC title and its first since a 42-34 win over Seton Catholic Central in 2009.
It also marked the Yellowjackets' third straight appearance in the final — the previous two ending with losses to Binghamton
High. During that span, OHS has faced Horseheads each year — the first two coming in STAC semifinals.
Two years ago at OHS, the Yellowjackets beat the Blue Raiders, 49-47, in overtime. Last year, OHS bunched eight points into game's final minute to beat host HH, 61-55, as Ruff and Webster scored 19 and 14 points, respectively.
"We both have the same group of kids," Miller said. "We both had kids playing as freshmen and sophomores and they've kind of grown up together, so it doesn't surprise me, but I'm certainly glad to be on the three-win side of that."
Following a see-saw first half that ended with OHS holding a 25-23 lead, the Yellowjackets started the second half with 5-foot-10 senior Kelsey Baker (10 rebounds) on the bench with three fouls. Things got worse when 6-2 senior center Natalie Vanderlaan-Meyering was whistled for her third foul with 5:16 left in the third quarter.
The Blue Raiders (15-3), the top seed for the upcoming Section Four Class AA Tournament, had size everywhere, including 5-11 guards Tess Wicks and Marlea Nolan, 6-0 forward Jen Chalk and 6-1 center Amanda Schiefen.
Still, OHS (17-1) raced to an eight-point lead early in the third quarter. After Wicks made a putback to tie the score at 25, Oneonta answered with an 8-0 run that took less than a minute.
Webster hit a three from the right wing off a pass from Ruff and then swished one from the opposite baseline about 15 seconds later. Next came a steal that led to a fastbreak layup by Ruff, and the Yellowjackets had a 33-25 lead.
The margin was still eight when Ruff came up with yet another did-she-really-just-do-that? special. With the shot clock running down and two defenders on her, Ruff crossed over from left to right before hitting a three-pointer from the key. It made the score, 42-34.
That's about the time Schiefen — Horseheads' silky-smooth left-hander — started to assert herself.
She cut the Blue Raiders' deficit to six on a shot in the lane to make it a six-point spread heading into the fourth quarter.
Schiefen, a sophomore who figures to be one of Section Four's best over the next couple of seasons, scored nine of her team-high 20 points in the fourth quarter. Almost all of it came off of back-to-the-basket post moves, and some of her makes were over the hands of Vanderlaan-Meyering.
Webster made a key defensive play with two minutes left, stealing a pass from the top of Oneonta's zone before finding Ruff for a transition layup that gave OHS a 52-48 lead.
But Schiefen scored inside 12 seconds later.
It was 52-50 when Yellowjackets senior Hayley Dower went to the line for a 1-and-1 with 8.4 seconds left. Dower missed the front end, but OHS still had two fouls to give.
After Dower and Ruff committed fouls, Horseheads inbounded in front of its bench with 2.5 seconds remaining. Schiefen got excellent position along the left block, received the inbounds pass and hit a 6-footer along the baseline with 0.3 seconds left to force overtime.
"It was certainly exciting, but to be honest, if every game was like this I don't think I could coach long term," Miller said. "I had butterflies in overtime. I felt like I was going to throw up; my head was pounding. I don't know if I could handle it every single game if they were all like that."
Twenty-four seconds into overtime, Horseheads took its first lead since the first quarter when Erin Strollo made a fastbreak layup. She was fouled by Dower but missed the free throw.
Dower, who finished with seven points, seven assists and six steals, then tied it at 54 on two free throws with 2:16 to go.
Neither side scored until Schiefen rebounded a miss by Leszyk and made the putback with 22 seconds to play.
Ruff brought the ball to the right side of the court on Oneonta's final possession. With Strollo playing tight defense, Ruff penetrated into the left side of the lane, where two more Blue Raiders blocked her path.
"You don't want their best to beat you, so we went out and doubled her and they hit the open jumper," Horseheads coach Andrew Scott said.
Ruff then passed sideways with her left hand to an open Webster.
"I go to the Boys and Girls Club every day," Webster said of how she hones her shooting stroke. "I shoot around and I just work my butt off."
Added Miller: "To want to take that shot and want to hit that shot at the end just shows how much she's grown up as a player and as a young lady."
The Yellowjackets, the top seed in the Section Four Class B Tournament, will play STAC rival Chenango Valley (8-8) or Interscholastic Athletic Conference Large School champion Waverly (18-0) at 7 p.m. Friday in a sectional semifinal. Waverly is seeded fourth, one spot ahead of CV.
"It's huge," Ruff said of the winning the STAC championship. "Three years in a row, we finally won one. But sectionals are still going to be tough. We can celebrate tonight and tomorrow, and then we're going to get right back to work and get ready for Friday."

Bradley Cooper is one of the world's most eligible bachelors (and a former Sexiest Man Alive, to boot), but it looks like he may be off the market sooner than we'd like (which is to say, ever).

Cooper and British model Suki Waterhouse, his girlfriend of nine months, stepped out for their first joint appearance last night at the New York premiere for Cooper's new movie, American Hustle. They got together shortly after Cooper and ex-girlfriend Zoë Saldana, who, just confirmed her recent marriage to Marco Perego, split. Adorably, they seemed to coordinate their outfits; Cooper looked dashing as always in a gray suit and black tie, while Waterhouse donned a gray turtleneck dress.
The pair sat together and munched on chocolate covered strawberries during the after party at Cipriani. "Guests were greeted with cocktails before entering the massive space, which was decked out 70s style complete with sparkling disco balls," a source told Us Weekly of the party. "Cooper posed with fans for photos, and later caught up over dinner [with Waterhouse.]"

Their night out a deux was a noticeable change from their casual outings together in Paris, Hawaii, and other far-flung locales. Despite their age difference (Cooper is 38, and Waterhouse is 21), their future plans align quite nicely. Cooper has been vocal about his commitment to family (he does still live with his mother, after all), and Waterhouse is preternaturally in agreement.
"I really like the idea of having kids in not too long," she said in the January issue of ELLE UK. "Not, like, now. And not next year. But in not too long."
The vivacious model also got somewhat bashful when the topic of Cooper came up. "I don't talk about my boyfriend because it's boring. At least, that's what I decided to tell you when you asked," she said. "I do think whatever I say will sound weird. But the truth is, if I start talking about him, I probably won't be able to stop. And I don't really want to talk about him, you know?"
It sounds like she's clamming up so she doesn't gush about her boyfriend. That, plus her premiere attendance, makes us think an engagement might not be too far off for this comely couple. Here's hoping!

The self-regard of Israelis is built, in no small part, around a sense of sang-froid, and yet few would deny that the past year was deeply unnerving. Last July, Israel launched an aerial attack on Lebanon designed to destroy the arsenal of the radical Islamist group Hezbollah, the Party of God, and force its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, to return two kidnapped soldiers and end its cross-border rocket attacks. "If the soldiers are not returned," Dan Halutz, the Israeli Army's chief of staff, said at the time, "we will turn Lebanon's clock back twenty years." Israel bombed the runways of the Beirut airport, the Beirut-Damascus highway, and numerous towns, mainly in the south; Hezbollah, from a network of guerrilla installations and tunnel networks worthy of the Vietcong, launched some four thousand rockets, mainly Katyushas, at cities in northern Israel. Israel degraded Hezbollah's military capabilities, at least temporarily, but there was no victory. Hezbollah survived and, in the eyes of the Islamic world, in doing so won; Nasrallah emerged as an iconic hero; and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, one of his sponsors, called yet again for the elimination of Israel from the map of the Middle East. Halutz, who had dumped all his stocks on the eve of the war, resigned, and Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, saw his approval rating fall to as low as two per cent.
More recently, Hezbollah's ideological ally in Palestine, Hamas—the Islamic Resistance Movement—led a violent uprising in the Gaza Strip, overwhelming its secular rival, Fatah. Suddenly, Israel, backed by the United States, found itself propping up the Fatah leadership, in order not to lose the West Bank to Hamas as well. Not even the ceremonial office of the Israeli Presidency was immune from the year's disasters: a few weeks ago, President Moshe Katsav agreed to plead guilty to multiple sexual offences and resign, lest he face trial for rape. Despite a resilient, even booming economy, peace and stability have rarely seemed so distant.
In this atmosphere of post-traumatic gloom, Avraham Burg, a former Speaker of the Knesset, managed to inflame the Israeli public (left, right, and center) with little more than an interview in the liberal daily Ha'aretz, promoting his recent book, "Defeating Hitler." Short of being Prime Minister, Burg could not be higher in the Zionist establishment. His father was a Cabinet minister for nearly four decades, serving under Prime Ministers from David Ben-Gurion to Shimon Peres. In addition to a decade-long career in the Knesset, including four years as Speaker, Burg had also been leader of the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency for Israel. And yet he did not obey the commands of pedigree. "Defeating Hitler" and an earlier book, "God Is Back," are, in combination, a despairing look at the Israeli condition. Burg warns that an increasingly large and ardent sector of Israeli society disdains political democracy. He describes the country in its current state as Holocaust-obsessed, militaristic, xenophobic, and, like Germany in the nineteen-thirties, vulnerable to an extremist minority.
Burg's interlocutor for the Ha'aretz article was Ari Shavit, a writer well known in Israel for his confrontational interviews and his cerebral opinion articles. (His Profile of Ariel Sharon, "The General," appeared in these pages in January, 2006.) Shavit's interviewing style is aggressive and moralistic—not so distant, at times, from Oriana Fallaci's in her prime. Politically, he is left of center, but, in the view of some to his left, he has seemed apocalyptic of late, warning darkly of the "existential" threats against Israel. In the preface to the interview, Shavit declared himself "outraged" by Burg's book: "I saw it as one-dimensional and an unempathetic attack on the Israeli experience."
The Israeli political world is unfailingly intimate. Shavit, who is forty-nine, and Burg, who is fifty-two, met twenty-five years ago, when they were both protesting against Israel's first war in Lebanon. After the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians by Israel's allies among the Christian Phalangists in 1982, Burg gave a powerful speech before four hundred thousand people at an anti-war demonstration in Tel Aviv—the biggest rally in the history of Israel. This was his entrance into public life. "Because Avrum was a lefty and a religious Jew who wore a kippa, he really stood out among the left-wing speakers," Shavit told me. "That gave him a very specific role in our society, and he played it extremely well." Whatever remained of the relationship between Burg and Shavit frayed badly when they met for their interview. After Burg described Israel as a perpetually "frightened society," the discussion quickly grew tense:SHAVIT: You are patronizing and supercilious, Avrum. You have no empathy for Israelis. You treat the Israeli Jew as a paranoid. But, as the cliché goes, some paranoids really are persecuted. On the day we are speaking, Ahmadinejad is saying that our days are numbered. He promises to eradicate us. No, he is not Hitler. But he is also not a mirage. He is a true threat. He is the real world—a world you ignore.
BURG: I say that as of this moment Israel is a state of trauma in nearly every one of its dimensions. And it's not just a theoretical question. Would our ability to cope with Iran not be much better if we renewed in Israel the ability to trust the world? Would it not be more right if we didn't deal with the problem on our own but, rather, as part of a world alignment beginning with the Christian churches, going on to the governments and finally the armies? Instead, we say we do not trust the world, they will abandon us, and here's Chamberlain returning from Munich with the black umbrella and we will bomb them alone.

RBC: Intel in talks with Apple to build iPhone processorsNovember 30, 2012: 10:50 AM ET
Intel's proposal: We build ARM chips for iPhone if Apple switches to Intel chips for iPad
FORTUNE -- Hot on the heels of his colleague Amit Daryanani's speculation about where Apple might go to supplement -- or entirely replace -- Samsung as the sole supplier of processors for Apple's mobile devices, RBC Capital's Doug Freedman reports Friday that Cupertino is already in talks with one of top contenders: Intel.
Acknowledging that there's been speculation about this in the past, Freedman moves the ball forward by spelling out the terms of a possible deal:
- Intel (INTC) would agree to use Apple's preferred architecture for the iPhone -- the one from Intel's British rival, ARM Holdings (ARMH).
- In return, Apple (AAPL) would agree to switch to Intel's x86 architecture for the iPad.
According to Freedman, Apple's demand for 12-inch system-on-a-chip wafers in 2013 could approach 415,000 -- outstripping Samsung's ability to supply.
"We believe," he writes, that "Intel has the upper-hand due to the limitations of capacity at alternative sources" -- chiefly TSMC (TSM) and GlobalFoundries.
He estimates that the revenue for whomever gets Apple's foundry business will be roughly $2 billion in 2013, assuming 415,000 wafers at $5,000 a pop.

LETTER FROM JAPAN about cell-phone novels. At the end of March, 2006, Mone, a twenty-one year-old college dropout, started posting a novel about her life straight from her mobile phone to a media-sharing site called Maho i-Land (Magic Island). She gave her tale a title, "Eternal Dream," and invented, as a proxy for her adolescent self, a narrator named Saki, a high-school student who lives in a provincial town. By mid-April, Mone had completed her novel, nineteen days after she began. In December, 2006, "Eternal Dream" was published. The book distributor Tohan ranked the book among the ten best-selling literary hardbacks for the first half of 2007. By the end of the year, cell-phone novels, all of them by authors with cutesy one-name monikers, held four of the top five positions on the literary best-seller list. The cell-phone novel, or keitai shosetsu, is the first literary genre to emerge from the cellular age. For a new form, it's remarkably robust. Maho i-Land, which is the largest cell-phone-novel site, carries more than a million titles, most of them by amateurs, and all available for free. The novels, written by and for young women, purport to be autobiographical and revolve around true love. The medium is revolutionary, opening the closed ranks of the literary world to anyone who owns a mobile phone. Some feared that the cell-phone novel augured the end of Japanese literature. Mentions Yumi Toyozaki and Mikio Funayama. Funayama assembled a panel which found that the novels aren't literature at all but the offspring of an oral tradition originating with mawkish Edo-period marionette shows and extending to vapid J-pop love ballads. The Japanese publishing industry has embraced cell-phone books. The cell-phone novel was invented by a Tokyo man in his mid-thirties who calls himself Yoshi. Mentions Toshiya Arai and Shigeru Matsushima, of Starts Publishing Company. The writer describes meeting Mone, whose literary celebrity had left her feeling bitter. "Eternal Dream" sold two hundred thousand copies and by now has been accessed nearly three million times online; a sequel was published in the summer of 2007. "The Tale of Genji," considered by many to be the world's first novel, was written a thousand years ago. "Genji" is the epitome of official high culture, but some have noticed certain parallels with Japan's new literary boom. The third annual Japan Keitai Novel Award ceremony, for a contest held by Starts, had a "Tale of Genji" theme. Cell-phone novelist Kiki won the grand prize. Mentions Jakucho Setouchi.
