We are pleased with our performance in 2005. The year was highlighted by the filing of the new drug application on NRP104, our lead compound under development, for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in pediatric populations. We believe that this advancement together with the progress on our other pipeline products positions us well for future growth. 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.

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.

wouldn't it be hilarious if he ran his pipes through (fill in the blank)?

Jeff Halpern

When we weren't in the box, I thought we played pretty well.

Dick Umile

When we were down 2-0 tonight, we were playing pretty well. The third goal was not very well played by us. The kid was out front all by himself. We dug ourselves a hole, that?s the disappointing part.

When we were coming into the (scouting) combine, they asked who was the best back you played against, and I said (Williams) the whole time. He's going to be great. You look at him, and you might not think he's all that strong. But he's a power runner. It's the style he plays.

This was not the very finest quality of weaving with gold thread, of the kind that was being produced for the leading courts of the day by the Brussels workshops. Rather, it reflects the sort of medium-quality tapestries that the Florence workshops were producing at this time for use in the Medici palaces. Still, the pride they must have felt, knowing this would be destined to go to Como. Tapestry was such an important part of the theatrical presentation of the day. It was the whole stage set against which the formal side of life was acted out.
