Print Edition 06/11/09 Page B13
Nuvo Research Inc., a drug developer based in Mississauga, saw its shares jump 22 per cent yesterday after it's flagship osteoarthritis treatment received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The ruling means the company can sell Pennsaid, a pain-killing cream that is absorbed through the skin on the knee, in ''the most lucrative market in the world, the United States,'' chairman Dan Chicoine said yesterday.

It also gains credibility for the company's technology, which will be used to administer other drugs through the skin, Mr. Chicoine said. NRI (TSX) rose 7.5 cents to 42 cents.

A farm visit yields a dramatic harvest
Print Edition 28/10/09 Page R2
In a pun that simply can't be avoided, the seed for Katherine Koller's new play was planted during a trip to a cousin's Alberta farm, more than 10 years ago. He drove her around on two tours, showing her first grain and oilseed fields that had been sprayed with chemicals, and then virgin grassland, where his cattle were grazing. Koller was shocked by the juxtaposition - how modern technology could change the landscape: ''I had never seen a field sprayed before and [it had] these silver crumbling ash-like stubbles,'' she says of the first fields she saw. ''There's something that happens when you see an image that just sticks with you and it won't go away.''
