We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field.

Looking forward, we anticipate receiving approval from the FDA on NRP104 in the second half of 2006 and making IND filings on NRP409 and NRP388, the two most advanced candidates in our preclinical pipeline, by the end of the second quarter of 2006. In addition, we plan to continue to develop NRP290, our second most advanced compound, and other drug products in our research pipeline.

Michael Connelly

When you surf, the ultimate goal is to get into a pipeline where the water circles around you and that's all there is. In writing, it's the same thing. You want to get into this pipeline where the story is circling around you and that's all there is. That is writing nirvana to me.

Kevin Jackson

We've always hoped that Page 2 would be a destination for people who wanted a good laugh and didn't take sports too seriously.

Eric Thurston

When we were there at the beginning of the year, they handed it to us pretty good. We have to make sure we come out, play well and play smart. We have to be very strong in our own end. Defensive zone coverage is going to be key.
