**2. HEALTH: HEALTH REFORM STILL LEAVES CONSUMERS SEEKING RELIEF FROM HIGH-PRICED MEDS. TIM SMITH, general manager of the CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL PHARMACY ASSOCIATION (CIPA), a Canadian association of licensed, retail pharmacies that sell pharmaceuticals and maintenance medications to both Canadian and U.S. citizens, says while the recently passed health care reform legislation will mean many changes for Americans, one thing remains the same: the high cost of U.S. prescription drugs: "Prescription drug costs in the U.S. are among the highest in the world, which is why so many Americans seek alternative sources for their medications. Yet, there are some key points to keep in mind when purchasing medications through an online pharmacy." Smith is available to talk about the key questions U.S. consumers should ask before ordering prescription drugs from a mail-order or online pharmacy.

**3. LIVING: WILDERNESS SURVIVAL IS ABOUT KEY SKILLS. MIKE PEWTHERER, author of "Wilderness Survival Handbook," notes that as the weather improves and more people venture outside, it's vital to be familiar with the key skills for short-term survival and long-term comfort should you find yourself unprepared in the wild: "Having proper wilderness skills, whether visiting the natural world temporarily, going on an extended trip, or finding yourself in a potentially hazardous situation, requires using natural resources and learned skills to satisfy your needs. Regardless of the situation, you'll need skills to maintain comfort, health, and life." Pewtherer has been practicing and teaching wilderness living and survival skills for more than 15 years. He is founder of Woodland Ways, a company teaching wilderness survival, rites of passage, and living skills to youth and adults. Pewtherer is based Philmont, N.Y.

**4. SPORTS: NFL DRAFT MOVED TO PRIME TIME FOR FIRST TIME EVER. ROBERT TUCHMAN, EVP of PREMIERE GLOBAL SPORTS, is an NYC-based entrepreneur, sports marketing and branding executive: "The NFL has moved their draft to prime-time television for the first time ever.

Tuchman is the founder of sports marketing firm TSE Sports & Entertainment; he sold the business to private equity firm Pfingsten Partners/Premiere Global Sports, a business with $75 million in annual revenue. He is the author of "100 Sporting Events You Must See Live" (BenBella Books) and "Young Guns, The Fearless Entrepreneur's Guide to Chasing Your Dreams" (American Management Association).
