Gov. Steve Beshear and Attorney General Jack Conway announced on Tuesday that heroin overdose reversal kits will be purchased for Kentucky hospitals with the highest rates of heroin overdose deaths. Overdose patients will receive a free kit when discharged from the hospital, in hopes that they or a loved one can prevent another overdose event and potentially save a life. Funding for the project is provided through the Substance Abuse Treatment Advisory Committee (SATAC).

NATION

Historians at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts opened and unveiled the numerous items that were contained within a time capsule that had originally been buried by Paul Revere and Samuel Adams some 220 years ago. The capsule had once before been uncovered and opened in 1855 during construction at the Massachusetts State House, only to be reburied--after a few additional items were added to it. Contained in the capsule were five folded newspapers, two dozen coins--some dating back to the 1650s, a silver plaque, and the seal of the Commonwealth. After conservation work is conducted on the capsule's contents they will go on display at the museum. Eventually, the time capsule and its contents will be returned to the cornerstone of the Massachusetts State House, said William F. Galvin, secretary of the commonwealth.

WORLD

Divers in the Java Sea have located the tail section of AirAsia Flight 8501, an Indonesian search and rescue official said Wednesday; the discovery of this part of the wreckage is significant as it could contain the plane's "black box" recorders. AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes said on Wednesday that if the correct part of the tail had been found "then the black box should be there." Writing on his Twitter account he added: "We need to find all parts soon so we can find all [our] guests to ease the pain of our families. That still is our priority."

We need to find all parts soon so we can find all out guests to ease the pain of our families. That still is our priority
