How did Thanh get his arm from 20 degrees to 90 in a single session, just days after shoulder surgery? His surgeon expected that to take more than a month of physical therapy. The answer has less to do with the shoulder than you might think.

How much would you pay to never stand in a grocery line again? It's a question most of us never think to ask, because we assume outsourcing and executive assistants are only for CEOs and millionaires.
