Advanced Viral Research Corp. (OTCBB: ADVR)(February 25, 2008), a research based biopharmaceutical company dedicated to anti-cancer drug discovery and development, announced yesterday a research agreement with Northeastern University.

ADVR scientists will be working with the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology to identify how compounds such as AVR118, a Phase II clinical candidate, interact with clinically relevant molecular targets associated with cancer. In addition to providing greater clarity into how AVR118 exerts its cytoprotective effects, this work is expected to provide valuable insights for producing new generations of product with greater potency and ease of administration. Another important goal of this agreement is to apply ADVR's innovative AFP Technology to identify new compounds with anti-cancer activity. In combination with Northeastern's world-renowned MS and NMR analytical capabilities, the AFP Technology is expected to improve the efficiency of discovering new lead compounds.

"We are excited to be working with this prestigious research institution. Northeastern's academic environment provides an ideal setting for advancing our understanding of AVR118's clinical activity and furthering our oncology discovery efforts," said Vincent P. Gullo, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of ADVR.

Cousins Properties Incorporated (NYSE: CUZ)(February 25, 2008) and Faison Enterprises announced yesterday seven new leases at The Avenue Murfreesboro, an 810,000-square-foot open-air retail center outside Nashville, Tenn. The announced retailers include American Eagle Outfitters, Old Navy, Haverty's, Hollister, Massage Envy, Newk's Cafe Express and Jared Jewelers. The Avenue Murfreesboro's 660,000-square-foot first phase is now 80 percent committed. Old Navy and Haverty's are the first retailers to commit to two under-construction expansions, totaling 19,000 square feet and 30,400 square feet respectively. The center will eventually become home to more than 110 retailers and restaurants.

Cousins and Faison also announced today that Linens N Things, Cost Plus World Market, Hollister and American Eagle Outfitters will open at The Avenue Murfreesboro in the second quarter of 2008. A full list of retailer commitments at the center can be found at www.theavenuealist.com.

"Adding great retailers like these to our already impressive merchant roster speaks volumes about this center and community," said Darryl Bonner, senior vice president of leasing for Cousins' Retail Division. "We look forward to more exciting commitments and openings as the year progresses." "Both retailer and consumer interest in The Avenue Murfreesboro continues to impress our team. We've said from the beginning that this project fits well with the growth in Middle Tennessee and I think the current results bear that out," said Mike Cohn, senior managing director with Faison.

The Avenue Murfreesboro is the centerpiece of 400 acres of new commercial development envisioned by landowner C.M. "Bill" Gatton along Medical Center Parkway. Projects in the area are slated to include retail, office, hotel, convention center and public spaces. Medical Center Parkway connects the new Manson Pike interchange on I-24 with the City of Murfreesboro's Gateway project, plans for which include the new 300-bed Middle Tennessee Medical Center along with medical and professional offices.

The Avenue concept, introduced by Cousins Properties in 1998, has been extremely well received by consumers and retailers alike. In contrast to a mall, these open-air, pedestrian friendly centers appeal to the discriminating and often time-constrained shopper looking for premier national retailers, select local merchants and specialty restaurants in a convenient setting. Cousins Properties has opened four Avenues in the Atlanta area, two in Tennessee, one in suburban Los Angeles and one in Viera, Fla.
