Overcoming opioids: Easing an epidemic 1 doctor at a time

MONROEVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Even doctors can be addicted to opioids, in a way: It's hard to stop prescribing them. Melissa Jones is on a mission to break doctors of their habit, and in the process try to turn the tide of the pain- killer epidemic that has engulfed 2 mil- lion Americans. It was in doctors' offices where the epidemic began, and it's in doctors' of- fices where it must be fought. So Jones is using some of the same tactics phar- maceutical sales forces used to push their potent pills into communities — this time, to get them out. She drives 100 miles a day to visit doctors across western Pennsylvania's Allegheny and Westmoreland counties, where prescription painkillers and their illicit cousin, heroin, killed more than 600 people last year.

CHARLESTON (AP) — The architect who designed the 9/11 Memorial in New York has been chosen to create a memorial to honor the nine worshippers gunned down in a racist shooting attack on a South Carolina church. The decision came Saturday on the second anniversary of the massacre at Emanuel AME church in Charleston — a day also marked by a crowd singing “Amazing Grace” as they marched to the church. Emanuel’s bells rang nine times at the end of the “Hate Won’t Win Unity Walk.” Last year, friends and fami- ly dedicated 15 trees on Eman- uel’s front lawn — one for each of the dead, the five peo- ple inside the church who sur- vived the slaughter and one for the church’s congregation. This year, plaques were placed under each tree. The white killer of the nine black worshippers is in a fed- eral prison in Indiana after a federal jury found him guilty of hate crimes. Those 12 ju- rors told Dylann Roof in Jan- uary he would pay with his life for the mass shooting. Roof is appealing that death sentence.

You can tell a lot about a per- BEST INVESTMENTS son based on the financial prod- ucts they hold. Our lives are inundated with fi- nancial products, many of which are cheap and ineffective. But the WORK NOW — AND tools you use to build your finan- cial life speak to your attention to detail and your commitment to making your life easier as you get 15 YEARS FROM NOW older. These products/tools range from various types of loans to a range of Individual Retirement Account plans. Some are cringe- worthy, while others amuse me. A good financial product is one that takes care of business now, but the benefit of the product in- creases over time. It must make a lot of sense now and substantially more sense later. In no particular order, my three favorite financial products are: a 15-year mortgage, a Health Savings Account (HSA) and a Roth IRA. Each of these financial tools is not only efficient, but does a great deal to set a person up for GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO a healthy financial future.
