Report Card 2004: Biotech Hits and Misses
Looking over all the biotech stock stories I covered in 2004, I'm pleased to report that I was right more than wrong. My "win" column does veer in the bearish direction, which is not ideal (I'd prefer more of a balance), but then there were some spectacular biotech blowups in 2004 of which I had the good fortune of being on the right side. Here, then, is my self-graded report card for 2004.
The Hits
My highlight reel has to start with
(GNTA) and its oh-so-controversial "antisense" cancer drug Genasense. I've talked in the past about how long it takes for biotech stories to reach their denouement, and after two years of skepticism in this column, it wasn't until
Cyberonics (CYBX) was a gut-wrenching test of the confidence in my research this year. After poring over clinical data and listening to as many experts as I could find, it became clear to me that the medical-device maker's VNS Therapy System would not -- should not -- be approved for the treatment of severe depression. The clinical data put together by Cyberonics were shoddy and unclear and simply didn't justify FDA approval -- and that's what I wrote repeatedly through the spring.
So I was more than a bit disheartened in June when an FDA advisory panel voted to recommend approval of the VNS device. Despite the setback, I stuck to my original thesis, believing the FDA would disregard the panel recommendation and reject Cyberonics' application for lack of convincing clinical data. I was proven right on

Wednesday, Dec. 24 – Christmas Eve: Carols at 6:30 p.m.; Service of Holy Eucharist at 7:00 p.m., Reception following
CEC Annual Parish Meeting: Sunday, January 18, 2015 (following morning worship)
We are a parish of members living on or near the shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix in the northwest corner of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. We are a church community in the Anglican (Episcopal) tradition, welcoming all, and serving Christ through worship, spiritual growth, and care for one another, the community, and God's world. For almost 120 years, we have honored scripture, tradition, and reason as we seek to know and to do the will of God in our lives.
We are very excited to have a new rector, the Rev. Thomas O'Dell. Father Tom has recently retired from All Saints Episcopal Church in Omaha, Nebraska. He celebrated his first service with us on Pentecost, June 8th. On Tuesday, July 15th the Rt. Rev. Whayne Hougland, Jr., Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Michigan, joined us at Christ Church for the Service of Celebration of a New Ministry welcoming Father Tom to his new ministry in Charlevoix.
We have been very fortunate to have dedicated and excellent supply priests who assisted us by celebrating our worship services during our transition period. We thank them all for their presence in our lives.
Please come and join us for worship and fellowship. Our Sunday service begins at 10:00 a.m. with a coffee hour following the service.
We are starting a new chapter in our parish life and we would like you to be a part of it.

Figure 15.2. Ultrastructure of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes. A: A typical resting lymphocyte. The nucleus contains primarily heterochromatin in aggregates along the nuclear membrane. The nucleolus in lymphocytes is usually small. In the cytoplasm, the ribosomes are dispersed, but occasionally, a few short strands of rough endoplasmic reticulum are visible. The mitochondria are well developed and the centrioles (C), longitudinally sectioned in this illustration, show evidence that the cell is ready to enter mitosis on triggering. The Golgi apparatus (G) is small (×24,000). B: This lymphocyte contains granules (arrow) and is likely to correspond to the large granular lymphocyte variety. The cytoplasm is abundant and filled with ribosomes with a few strands of endoplasmic reticulum (×12,000). (From Zucker-Franklin D, Greaves MF, Grossi CF. Atlas of blood cells, 2nd ed.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Social factors affect our health
SASKATOON — Health care is only one element of what can make a significant difference in health outcomes, with social factors, such as education or affordable housing or a safe working environment, playing a much more significant role in determining whether we will be healthy or ill.
This has been understood for centuries and, in recent decades, has been empirically validated with study after study clearly demonstrating health inequalities between wealthy and disadvantaged populations.
Yet political conversations still tend to fall into familiar traps. If we talk about health we return by reflex to doctors and nurses, hospitals and pharmacies. And when we talk about politics — the field of endeavour with the greatest impact on what determines health outcomes — we too often insist the social factors that affect health, such as poverty or inequalities, are too complex or expensive to tackle.
We get stuck, in other words, and it appears there is no way out of the impasse.
To imagine a different approach, it's helpful to start with a classic public health parable. Imagine you're standing on the edge of a river. Suddenly a flailing, drowning child comes floating by. Without thinking, you dive in, grab the child, and swim to shore. Before you can recover another child comes floating by. You dive in and rescue her as well.
Then another child drifts into sight... and another... and another. You call for help, and people take turns fishing out child after child.Hopefully, before too long some wise person will ask: Who keeps chucking these kids in the river? And they'll head upstream to find out.
Every time we have to clean up an environmental disaster, every time a young person winds up in jail, every time people have to take medicines to make up for the fact that they couldn't afford good food, we're suffering from the results of downstream thinking.
Thinking upstream means making smarter decisions — long-term decisions — about what kind of country we want. What better goal than creating the conditions for all people to enjoy true health — complete physical, mental, and social well-being? And what better measure of a country's success than the health of its people?
First, we have to see beyond health care to what really makes us ill or well — income and its distribution, education, employment, social supports, housing, nutrition, and the wider environment — the social determinants of health. Examining our decisions through the lens of optimal health allows us to focus our efforts on what makes the biggest difference to our well-being.
This also allows us to stop seeing investment in people as a cost. When we take into account the economic and social benefits of a healthy, educated population, we see that by doing nothing to address the factors that make people sick, we ensure that more and more kids will come down the river, and that many of them will drown.
A new national, non-partisan organization launching this month seeks to bring forward a new way of talking about politics in Canada. Upstream is a movement to change the current conversation. It aims to make the mainstream look upstream, helping citizens to demand a healthy society, and to understand the best ways to get there.
Upstream seeks to propagate a new frame, one that focuses in on the decisions that will make the most impact on the quality of our lives. By gathering the best evidence available, academics and advocates will promote decisions made on the basis of practicality rather than ideology.
Using storytelling through multiple forms of media, Upstream will help to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice. By connecting individuals and partner organization through common language and goals, Upstream can help to create public demand for language and ideas consistent with the new frame, and can ultimately open up the space for action on the part of citizens and governments to build a truly healthy society.
The evidence is clear, addressing the social determinants of health is essential to improving our lives. Too often, however, the immediacy of acute care distracts decision-makers from upstream investment to prevent ill health. By seeking to prepare, rather than waiting to repair, we can make wiser decisions and enjoy better lives.

Division of Nutritional Sciences
Patrick J. Stover, Ph.D. is Professor and Director of the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University. He graduated from Saint Joseph's University with a BS degree in Chemistry and was awarded the Molloy Chemistry Award at graduation. He received a PhD degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics from the Medical College of Virginia and performed his postdoctoral studies in Nutritional Sciences at the University of California at Berkeley.
The Stover research group investigates the chemical, biochemical, genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that underlie the relationships between one-carbon metabolism and human pathologies including neural tube defects, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Specific interests include the regulation of folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism and genome expression and stability, the molecular basis of the fetal origins hypothesis, development of mouse models to elucidate mechanisms of folate-related pathologies, and translational control of gene expression. Our current focus is on the role of nuclear one-carbon metabolism in de novo thymidylate synthesis in maintaining genome integrity, and its regulation by SUMOylation. We have developed mouse models of altered one-carbon metabolism by gentically manipulating the expression of folate-associated genes to determine the effects of altered one-carbon supply on cellular methylation potential, nucleotide biosynthesis and colon cancer susceptibility. An overarching goal of these studies is to differentiate the contributions of folate-dependent de novo nucleotide biosynthesis and folate-mediated cellular methylation in folate-associated pathologies. Patrick Stover also teaches two classes for graduate students: NS7040, Grant Writing and NS6200 Translational Research and Evidence-based Policy and Practice in Nutrition.
Patrick Stover received a MERIT award in 2012 from NIDDK-NIH. In 1996 he received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from President Clinton, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on outstanding scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers. He received the ERL Stokstad Award in Nutritional Biochemistry from the American Society for Nutritional Sciences in 1999 and has been selected as an Outstanding Educator four times by Cornell Merrill Presidential Scholars. He is a current member of the National Academies of Sciences' Food and Nutrition Board. He serves on the editorial board for the Annual Reviews of Nutrition, the Journal of Biological Chemistry and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

What makes up most of the Universe?
For a long time, astronomers thought that almost all of the Universe was made of regular matter (called "baryonic matter". It is the same kind of matter that makes up everything on earth and all the stars (protons, neutrons and electrons)). However, they have now found out that this baryonic matter was only a small fraction of the matter in the Universe.
By measuring the motion of galaxies, and of stars inside galaxies, astronomers have been able to determine that there exists also some matter that we cannot see. They know that because even though they cannot see it, they measure the effects of their gravity on these stars and planets. This is what we called "dark matter".
There is also something that makes up most of the Universe and that we refer to as "dark energy". The nature of this dark energy is completely unknown, but we know it behaves quite differently from regular matter. It is believed it has an opposite effect to gravity pushing everything apart and thus contributing to the expansion of the Universe.
Very recent observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background have revealed the relative fractions of each of these components. The best estimates now say that the Universe is made of 4% regular baryonic matter, 23% dark matter and 73% dark energy.

When I ran for office, I promised to protect taxpayers. I went door-to-door to listen to residents and promised to focus spending on real priorities. I promised to go through the budget line by line and look for ways to save money.
We've done just that. We navigated the Great Recession without raising taxes, opting instead to take on tough labor and spending issues; we ran balanced budgets in 2012 and 2013, adding to our reserve fund to help protect long-term fiscal sustainability; and, despite the financial turmoil of the past four years, we ended 2013 with a reserve balance of over $2 million, higher than when my term began in 2010.

|I just bought this Satsuma yesterday at a very reputable nursery. They all looked like this - staked with very thin trunks. Noone was in the tree department to ask, while I was there.
Do I leave this stake in? Do I use a different stake that isn't right up against the trunk? If so, please give details. All help is appreciated.
Follow-Up Postings:
|This is typical for a grafted, nursery-raised tree. Are you going to leave it potted, or plant it? The stake gives the graft support so it doesn't snap off in a wind, or transporting. I'd leave it in place until the trunk appears to be straining aqainst the ties. You may also consider adding a second, taller stake if you'd like to pull the top growth closer to center, although it will fill out in time.
BTW, you need to brush off the lower growths.
|Thanks! And yes, I'm planting it in the ground.
Why do I need to brush off the lower growths?
|I'm going to say some negative things here, but only out of sincere honesty.
This is exactly the sort of tree I prefer to avoid. I doubt this tree will be able to support itself. If not, and it were my tree, I would consider disposing of it. Although I'm not suggesting that you do. Even the top half of that tree seems to be helplessly flopping to one side. A healthy three should always be able to support itself.
This was possibly a bare-root tree that the nursery acquired last year and potted it up after not selling it. It may even have become root-bound in that pot. But I can't tell from that picture so I'm just mentioning the possibilities. Nurseries often put chemical fertilizers into potted trees like this which can encourage a weak, top-heavy tree. Again, just a possibility.
Anyway, your job is to make that tree as stable and sturdy as it can possibly be by corrective pruning. My approach to that is more radical than most, so I'll just say that this is what *I* would do to prune it. I would continue the support for this year, and remove one of those top large branches that are growing too close to each other. And cut the other existing branches back by half. Put it in the ground and let it get established. Then next winter while the tree is dormant, I'd cut back those top branches back to two or three buds. Yes, that will be alot. Furious growth should follow the next spring which you need to keep in check with summer pruning. We want this tree to be put back into balance, and the top is too big at this time.
One thing you have going for you is that plums branch quite prolifically. And your tree seems to be putting out some strong growth along the trunk. Keep these. Do not prune them this year. Encourage them with kind words. If there were more of those on the trunk I'd get rid of the entire top. But as it is, I would hope that at least one of these new branches along the trunk will eventually form a considerable part of the tree's eventual framework. If you see anymore buds along the trunk, especially on the opposite side of existing branches, encourage those as well.
|With all due respect, tcstoehr, this is a citrus tree and not a plum. Young citrus trees frequently look exactly like this. I think the tradeoff between losing green growth at this stage, versus leaving it on for increased photosynthesis, means that the latter is preferable. Citrus trees have very bushy, branchy growth, and are "self-pruning" in the respect that branches frequently die as others take their place. It's not necessary to prune citrus trees as one would a stone fruit.
I have many citrus trees, and purchased a navel that looked almost exactly like the tree pictured last year. In just a single year's time, it has filled in the "empty" side and is well on its way to becoming an impressive little tree.
I would expect that this tree should sell for about $19.95 or so. A bigger, better tree would probably go for $39.95, but sometimes we make choices for what we can afford. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Trsinc -- you want to brush off those lower growths because you want to encourage a crotch about 30-36" from the ground. Otherwise, branches lower down the trunk prevent air movement from keeping the trunk dry, and can keep sap from heading further up to encourage healthier, upper growth. Also, having branches near the graft zone is risky if one breaks off and introduces disease too close to the graft.
|Whoops, I though it was a plum. I grow lots of plums, but never a lemon. What do I know from lemons?
|Not to be technical, but it's actually a tangerine. ;-)
|Thanks again. :-)

Imagine a game where about the only premise you get is that every player controls a nation. If they want, they can interact with others on a forum on the internet, about those nations.This is the premise of the browser-based game NationStates. Despite (or because of) the very limited premise, Nation States can be played several ways, either Mechanically (Decide how your nation evolves through daily ethical issues that you alone can solve), or Creatively (Roleplay your nation on web forums, act out wars, resolve diplomatic crises, participate in World Cups or develop your Region).As you might guess, which part of NationStates the real game is means something different for everyone. The Roleplaying aspect is commonly seen as a combination of 19th century Imperial politics, 20th century military strategy and cutting-edge 21st century military technology, along with some random bits from across time.Based off the story Jennifer Government by Max Barry. But not really. Here, have a link.See also Cyber Nations, a nation sim game with more focus on gameplay.

There is perhaps no more celebrated a sports moment when one player–after it seems like there's no possibility to win the championship/game/division title/fight against basketball playing aliens–manages to turn everything around and win the game for his or her team.
Okay, it's mostly his team because that's how Hollywood rolls.
But there is a time and a place for those sorts of heroics, and the time and place for them isn't when it strikes your fancy, surprisingly enough.
Polo kinda lends itself to giving players the mindset that they are much more important than what they actually are. I'm not saying that you can just slack off or that you shouldn't feel like you're just as special as a little snowflake, but believing that you're the only thing holding your team together–or even that you're the only player on your team that can make the difference–is the wrong way to go about it.
Sure, you very well may be the strongest player in your team, but in a game of 1 against 3, the team playing with 3 will have a much easier time of it. And it's this sort of rationalized humility that you should be working from.
I have witnessed teams that fall apart only because one player believes themselves to be King Arthur, wielding around a mallet like it's Excalibur and charging to the ball no matter how sensible it is to do so. I've also witnessed these players deal with the consequences of how the other two people on their team treat them after the game.
Even if you were able to win playing that way, you're reducing the confidence your team-mates have in you to play intelligently–and you're burning up lots of energy trying to save the known universe with your heroics.
So instead of getting it in your head that you can run the whole game from your saddle, consider instead how you can contribute to your team and to a 3 person effort. Hero polo is something that only the very new or the very under-informed play, so knock it the hell off already!

Makes 10 servings
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 3 cups basmati rice (20 ounces)
- 3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh jalapeño including seeds (from 1 chile)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups packed fresh cilantro sprigs
- 4 scallions, chopped (1 cup)
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Wash rice in several changes of cold water in a bowl until water is almost clear. Soak rice in cold water 30 minutes, then drain well in a sieve.
Spread coconut in a shallow baking pan and toast in oven, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely.
Cook ginger and jalapeño in 1 tablespoon oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until chile is softened, about 2 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil, covered. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
While rice cooks, pulse together coconut, cilantro, scallions, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until finely chopped.
Add cilantro mixture to cooked rice and stir gently until combined well.

WATCH: Vintage Footage Shows Steven Spielberg and John Williams Composing "E.T." Theme
This was just TOO good not to post.
E.T. was one of Steven Spielberg's defining movies - a heartwarming story about family mingled with an alien visiting planet Earth. It also was a defining moment for composer John Williams, who came up with one of his classic film scores.
The above video flying around Reddit and other sites. It shows Spielberg and Williams at a piano, putting finishing touches on the score to the film. Whether it was staged or not, it's really neat to see retro footage of these two giants at work. Personally, I'd love to see more behind-the-scenes stuff of directors working with composers - getting that score just right is an important, fasicinating process for any film.
Watch the video above.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Gore 0/5
Creepiness: 2/5
Entertainment: 2/5
Nightmares: 0/5
Truly Ugly People: 5/5
Wow, glad I didn't pay for this poo-poo burrito. Don't Answer The Phone! (complete with exclamation point) is a truly golden turd. With nary a drop of blood until the very end (and then it's literally like a drop), this barely qualifies as horror except that the story is about a fat, sweating, grunting, weightlifting butterball who goes around strangling pretty ladies. It's very similar to Maniac except it's neither disturbing, gory, frightening or even entertaining. About the only thing going for it is that it's so bad, it's kind of good.
First and foremost, the cast of this film may be the ugliest group of people I've ever seen. Now, I understand that fashion in 1980 was at an all time low, but still, that's a realtively weak excuse when you see these people. Imagine Gabe Kaplan mating with Carol Channing and you have the cast. The music is equally ugly, more a series of electronic (read MOOG) farts and burps set to a funky beat.
The tone of the movie is set immediately from the first kill scene. It says: This is the kind of movie where women strip down to their undies immediately after closing the front door. They also sit in front of a mirror to brush their golden 70's witch-length hair, never bothering to lock the door behind them. Then they are strangled by the fat dude who breathes heavily and sweats all over the place while their unsupported 70's boobs flop about.
At some point near the middle of the movie, the focus shifts to the cops who are tracking the guy down, stumbling and bumbling over their oversized ties and facial hair all the way. The music becomes even more funky as the mood lightens and we are suddenly in a comedy. Hooray!
The dialogue is tremendous, the acting even better, the story line sharp as a razor. SIKE.
This is such a bad movie. So bad. Rent it by all means, but do it with a bunch of friends and get really tanked before starting it. Then - it's amazing.

Coke Stock Split May Irk Warren Buffett
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- For decades, Coca-Cola (KO) and Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A) Warren Buffett have had a successful relationship.
The mood may sour in the near term, however, as the soft-drink giant seeks approval for a 2-for-1 share split, a contentious topic for the famed billionaire.
|Warren Buffett
Although Buffett has offered harsh words for companies that have considered stock splits and new share issuance, the Oracle of Omaha in recent years has encouraged a split for the Class B shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B).A report from Bloomberg notes that Coca-Cola's chairman is pushing for what will be the company's 11th share split. The move is a bid to attract new investors and boost liquidity. JPMorgan: The Apple of the Banking Sector >> Although the company may be successful in its efforts, the Oracle of Omaha has warned in the past that these types of moves are ultimately detrimental to current shareholders. By flooding the market with excessive new supply, current stakeholders will see their power diluted. In addition, a share split may attract short-term-minded individuals who are not truly interested in the company's long-term prosperity. Buffett has famously lashed out against other companies in which he held stakes when they have suggested the idea of boosting the availability of their stock. In 2010, food giant Kraft (KFT) announced its intentions to purchase Cadbury, and the Nebraska native was quick to express his displeasure. Buffett railed against the $19.5 billion plan. Among his reasons was Kraft's proposal to issue as many as 370 million shares to help pay for the bid. Life Without Apple Is Still Peachy for Some Fund Managers >> The investor ended up turning his words into action. In the middle of that year, the public learned that Buffett had slashed his exposure to Kraft, paring back his position by nearly 25%. Interestingly, 2010 was also the year that Buffett pushed for and received shareholder approval to initiate a 50-for-1 share split on the Class B shares of Berkshire. This move was done in order to help Buffett's empire fund its landmark bid for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. Buffett has called this $34 billion dollar acquisition -- the largest in Berkshire's history -- an "all-in" wager on the U.S. economy that will benefit shareholders for years to come.

In the three years since the release of his debut recording Vagabond, vocalist-songwriter-pianist Spencer Day has spent some time in the uncomfortable places where light and clarity disappear into the mysteries of uncertainty. He survived the journey, and he's come back with a story to tell and a wiser perspective about himself and the world. That story – rooted in his own experience, yet filled with revelations and truths that are universal to any human being who has ever put his or her heart at risk – is captured in the 13 tracks of The Mystery of You, his latest album released March 12, 2013 on Concord Records.
Filled with stylistic nuances that range from smoky noir to Latin jazz to surf guitar to Middle Eastern and Asian melodies, The Mystery of You tracks the sometimes exhilarating, sometimes harrowing arc of a romantic relationship from passionate beginning to painful demise to enlightened aftermath. More than just a survivor's tale, the album is Day's affirmation to anyone within the sound of his voice that navigating the human experience is an ongoing balancing act.
"It's been one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with in my adult life, but it's also been a huge opportunity for growth," Day says of the ill-fated relationship and the music that emerged from it. "Each of these songs represents a different phase in that growth process. Along the way, I really started trying to understand my own psychology."

Fred Couples, Golf Digest's top dude, too cool to realize it

Here's the definition of cool: When I asked Fred Couples on Thursday how he felt about being voted the coolest golfer, he professed not to even know Golf Digest had ranked him first, ahead of No. 2 Seve Ballesteros, No. 3 Walter Hagen and No. 4 Arnold Palmer.
''I don't know where that was,'' he said on the practice tee at North Shore Country Club in Glenview. ''On the Champions Tour?''
No. The coolest golfer of all time.
''Of all time? That's a problem,'' Couples said. ''I'd say the coolest golfer of all time would be Sam Snead. Sam was phenomenal. But I saw Ben Hogan a million times swinging at Merion. I liked his slacks and the little teeny, thin belt. I've been talking to Ashworth to see if we can get back in the 1950s and '60s.''
From what I know of Sam Snead, there was a goofy side that would disqualify him. And while Hogan was a legend, he was a little too tightly wound, no matter how skinny his belt.
If I were making my all-time list, I'd have a hard time putting anybody ahead of Arnie. But Couples would be in the discussion. And he's certainly the definition of cool among active players.
As Golf Digest explained: ''Women love him, and men want to be like him.''
There's also no question that Couples will be a magnet when the Encompass Championship, a brand-new Champions Tour event, begins Friday at North Shore.
His gallery really would have been the coolest place to be if Couples had been able to talk his friend, Michael Jordan, into teaming with him for the celebrity pro-am that takes place Friday and Saturday.
''I tried pretty hard, but he's got a lot of other stuff going on,'' Couples said. ''And then I asked Bo Jackson because I was paired with him in Alabama, but he's got his charity event on Saturday.''
And, so, former Bull Toni Kukoc will be Couples' partner.
''I've never met him, but I've seen him play basketball and I like the way he played,'' Couples said. ''And he's excited. He's all worried about how he's going to play. I said it won't matter. We'll just have a good time.''
That's the key phrase as the Champions Tour returns to Chicago for the first time since 2002.
Nine celebrities are playing in the pro-am, including Brian Urlacher, Bears kicker Robbie Gould and Blackhawks announcer Pat Foley.
''It's like when we used to play at Pebble Beach — this will be a blast,'' Couples said.
It all sounds cool. But as he said — and like all cool people — Couples doesn't really go there.
''My definition of cool is — I never really even thought about it,'' said the man who started the trend toward Top-Sider-like golf shoes. ''I started these shoes. That's a cool thing to me. That doesn't make me cool. It makes people smart that the old kind of heavy shoes are out. But I don't know about being cool.''
As with Cary Grant, that's not for him to decide.
