It’s important for you to know that Medicare might not cover everything prescribed by your healthcare providers, especially alternative and complementary treatments. With the rise of the opioid epidemic, however, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is looking to find new ways to treat chronic pain syndromes. To that end, Medicare has added acupuncture for chronic low back pain treatment as a covered benefit. Medicare Coverage for Acupuncture Recently, Medicare part B has begun covering the cost of acupuncture for the treatment of chronic low back pain in some circumstances....

Saw palmetto is sometimes touted as a natural treatment for other health conditions, such as acne, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), erectile dysfunction (ED), and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Benefits for Hair Loss According to a 2019 review of complementary and alternative treatments for alopecia, saw palmetto is believed to work by inhibiting the activity of 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme involved in the conversion of the hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is considered a key contributing factor to the onset and progression of androgenic alopecia....

But attempting to banish blemishes or prevent breakouts by tanning can do more harm than good. This is especially true for people using medication to treat their acne, as many such products increase photosensitivity, making skin more vulnerable to UV rays and potentially compounding the signs of aging and the risk of skin cancer. If you’re tempted to try tanning as a solution to acne, it’s important to know that it is likely to do more harm than good and to understand why....

For context, an inactive YouTube channel (devoted exclusively to modding Xbox 360 controllers) was recently uncovered and it did not take long for fans to deduce that it must have belonged to Chalamet. With the prosaic name of “ModdedController360,” the account has uploaded three, incredibly short videos—only one of which lasts for more than a minute. As such, there’s not much to go by when it comes to evaluating Chalamet’s gaming credentials here....

In footage posted to TikTok on August 7 by an account called cheekclapper24_7_365, a woman can be seen trying on her outfit in a full-length mirror. She clicks record on the camera and steps backward to take a look at the fashion ensemble, which includes high-waisted beige flared trousers, a red top and a small white leather handbag. As she twirls and admires her reflection, a large white fluffy dog rounds the corner and stops in his tracks to look up at the woman....

Jolie the dog fell overboard during a storm while her owners were sailing to Ibiza, Spain. She was found days later on the shore of Cope in Aguilas, near the city of Murcia, say local police. The dog swam over 120 miles and police estimate that she would have been swimming for one or two days to reach safety. After beachgoers found Jolie, she was taken to police who managed to reunite her with her owners thanks to her microchip....

Morty is one half of a canine duo known to millions on TikTok as Maple and Morty, with more than 275,000 followers on the social-media platform. However, it’s Morty’s friendship with an entirely different species that has even left some viewers in tears. Dogs have often appeared to possess an innate ability to strike up friendships in the most unusual of circumstances, and Newsweek has reported on canines finding companionship with everything from a sea lion to a playful magpie....

Bat the dog became an overnight celebrity after arriving at the North Little Rock Animal Shelter. When a Little Rock resident saw her unmissable teeth and ears on Facebook on February 8, they posted a photo of her to the popular “What Is Wrong With Your Dog” Subreddit, gaining over 38,000 votes.

When American forces are engaged in combat, victory is the only exit strategy. And that requires a definition of issues that can survive scrutiny. The Administration, in pursuit of symbols that resonate with the public, has put forward three categories of argument. The most convincing is that suffering in Kosovo is so offensive to our moral sensibilities that we will use force to end it even absent traditional considerations of national interest....

Perhaps. But there isn’t a basketball coach alive who doesn’t suspect that he might have won a championship ring with Jordan in his lineup. If Jackson fails to win without Michael, he could become another faded star in a town overrun with them. “It’s something that I don’t think about at all,” insists the 54-year-old coach, in his stilted parlance. “I look forward to instituting a certain system of basketball that has a particular gloss and credence to see if another group of kids adapt to it and if it works like it did with the guys in Chicago....

At the core of the concern is pay for authors. The DOJ is arguing in its suit that wages would be negatively influenced if such a larger merger was allowed. The Authors Guild, a writers’ organization, has said it opposes the acquisition because there would be less competition for authors’ manuscripts. Penguin Random House argued the opposite. Many of the world’s publishing companies have already undergone some form of consolidation....

Disappointed fans of the “Like That” singer have been taking to social media to say she was robbed after she failed to scoop any trophies in three categories—Best New Artist, Record of the Year, or Best Pop Solo Performance at the Grammys. The singer—whose given name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini—also performed at the ceremony, with her futuristic staging of her track “Say So” being widely praised. However, she lost out to Meghan Thee Stallion for Best New Artist, Billie Eilish for Record of the Year and Harry Styles took home the award for Best Pop Solo Performance for “Watermelon Sugar....

Dolphins vice president Mike Tannenbaum appeared on the “Sid Rosenberg Show” Monday to talk about his high-profile free agent.

Tua Tagovailoa has garnered criticism for his seemingly below-average arm strength, making for Miami’s acquisition of Tyreek Hill, one of the game’s elite deep threats, an interesting one. On Tuesday, Hill somewhat dispelled the common criticism of Tagovailoa: The Dolphins quarterback, if nothing else, throws a very “catchable” football, according to Hill.

Now, its placement in primetime seems a stroke of good luck. The Dolphins (4-4 SU, 4-4 ATS) have been the talk of the NFL after the departure of tackle Jonathan Martin and the suspension of left guard Richie Incognito in connection with the investigation of Martin's decision to leave the club in late October. The Dolphins' performance Monday night in Tampa (8:40 p.m. ET, ESPN) will be closely watched, just as seemingly all elements of their business have been for much of November....

“I don’t think anyone really knows,” Ross said via The Miami Herald about the wide receiver next year and beyond. Considering the Dolphins’ lack of salary cap space in 2015, it would be a smart move for Miami to trade the Pro Bowler, which will be hard since Wallace is due $32.7 million over the next three seasons. The more realistic option is to release Wallace and create $5.2 million in cap space....

Buffalo has already clinched the AFC East, so the best the Dolphins can do is claim the Nos. 5, 6 or 7 seeds in the expanded postseason as a wild card. The Bills will have less to play for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, but Buffalo could still secure a better postseason seed and more home-field advantage in the playoffs with a win. Miami is competing for one of three wild card spots with four other teams: Titans/Colts (one will win AFC South), Ravens and Browns....

"The notion of bullying is based on speculation and has not been presented to us as a concern from Jonathan or anyone else internally," the team wrote. "The Miami Dolphins, including coach Joe Philbin and Jonathan's teammates, have been in communication with Jonathan and his family since his departure from the club, and continue to be in contact. Our primary concern for Jonathan is his overall health and well-being." MORE: ‘Breakdowns’ more common than you think?...
