San Diego International Triathlon – On June 28, the 26th annual San Diego International Triathlon will begin at 5:15 a.m. and end at noon. The race will be held at Spanish Landing Park, and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training (TNT) will be participating.

The Price Of Life – Directed by Adam Wishart, this BBC documentary is the first to film the decision-making process of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). NICE is an independent organization that provides medical opinions to the National Health Service (NHS), the government-funded health care system in the U.K. The documentary gives insight into NICE’s process of deciding whether or not Revlimid (lenalidomide) should be approved for use and funded by the NHS. It also gives the perspective of patients and an American drug company. For more information, please visit BBC [2] Web site.
