Is your back as sore and stiff as Old Man Winter's? While you may be tempted to reach for over-thecounter painkillers, it turns out the medications we typically turn to are far from reliable.

Drug-free relief from back pain

In a Journal of Orthopaedic Research report, acetaminophen failed to significantly ease back pain. Plus, Oregon State University research reveals that NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen are only slightly better at easing back pain than a placebo. To the rescue: natural tricks that tame aches for good

Treat your feet to a relaxing rub

✓ A study in the Journal of Medical and Dental Science found that giving tired feet a 10-minute reflexology massage significantly eases back pain. Scientists say that by applying pressure to key points on your feet, you stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which calms pain signals. For a quick how-to, search "foot massage reflexology/self-massage for feet" on YouTube.com.

The Mary Tyler Moore SHOW

From That Girl in the 1960s to Ally McBeal in the 1990s to Sex and the City in the 2000s, television has long reflected the shifting image of independent women. Yet the true game-changer came in 1970, when The Mary Tyler Moore Show introduced Mary Richards—30, single, stylish and making her way in a newsroom full of men. Rather than being someone’s wife or daughter, she was the star, and she changed television forever. Join us for a look back at rare behind-the-scenes photos of the groundbreaking show as we celebrate its 55th anniversary.

Happy money, happy holidays

The holidays are here (yay!), and with them comes both joy and, let's be honest, stress. For many of us, the shopping lists, entertaining costs or the ache of an empty chair at the table can dim the sparkle of the season. If that's you, please accept my wishes that the days land lightly.
