Construct validity of the chinese version of the patient-rated wrist evaluation questionnaire (PRWE-Hong Kong version)
Josephine Wong Man Wah, Mike Kwan Wing Wang, Wai Ping Cecilia Tsang
With increasing economic globalization, including health care, it is important to use standardized outcome measures applicable to a broad spectrum of patients in a wide array of countries. The purpose of this study was to verify construct and content validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Patient-rated Wrist Evaluation Questionnaire (PRWE-Hong Kong version). The PRWE was translated into Chinese, and face validity was established by inviting experts and patients to participate in the panel review of the questionnaire. A correlation field study was performed using a convenience sample of 47 patients with wrist injuries. Patients were assessed at baseline and six weeks after the initial measurement. The following measures were taken: the Chinese version of the PRWE and the Medical Outcome Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, active wrist range of motion, grip strength, and the Jebsen Hand Function Test. Statistical analysis consisted of Pearson correlation coefficients (convergent validity), factor analysis (content validity), paired t-test (convergent validity), and the Cronbach alpha (internal consistency). Clinically relevant correlations existed between "Pain at rest" and the VAS "resting pain" (r = 0.785, p < 0.0001) as well as between "Pain on repeated wrist movement" and the VAS "exertion pain" (r = 0.872, p < 0.0001). The "Physical Component Summary" of the SF-36 was found significantly correlated with the PRWE function subset total score (r = -0.618, p < 0.0001), and the PRWE total score (r = -0.645, p < 0.0001). The specific function subset score also correlated with the wrist flexion range (r = -0.308, p < 0.0001) and the grip strength (r = -0.488, p = 0.035). Two factors were found that accounted for 61% of the variance. The Cronbach alpha coefficients ranged from 0.7805 to 0.9502, indicating that the internal consistency of the questionnaire items was sound and reliable. Positive correlations between the wrist ranges of motion (ROM) and the specific function subset score showed that the function subset measured dimensions related to wrist-specific performance in activities of daily living. Factor analysis results supported the construct validity of the PRWE-Hong Kong version in wrist-injured patients. Internal consistency testing results suggested that item consistency within subset items was good and persisted over time. In conclusion, the Chinese version of the PRWE is a reliable and valid self-rated tool in measuring treatment outcome. It supplements traditional objective clinical measures and is potentially applicable in Hong Kong clinical settings.

BMW 4 Series Coupe - Coming Soon
RAC Cars News
#WeLoveCars
By raccars Published 18 April 2013
The latest model in the BMW line-up is the 4 Series Coupe, originally seen as a concept in December 2012. It will in effect replace the Coupe and Convertible versions of the 3 Series and should be available later this year. However, BMW seems keen to market the car as a stand alone model. While the Coupe is the model that has been publicly introduced so far, there are Convertible and Gran Coupe models programmed for later release.
The 4 Series Coupe is larger and sportier than its predecessor but just as sleek. The styling follows the brand's current design language and manages to be both dramatic and conservative. Plus points include a more spacious interior, superior handling and the hint of massive power to come...
The exact engine line up is unconfirmed as yet, but is expected to include 420i, 430i and 435i units plus diesel versions of the same, but the most exciting is a top of the range M4 to fulfill the high-performance quotient - basically the excellent 3 Series Coupe range transplanted to the new car. Gearboxes planned are a six-speed manual as standard with the option of an eight-speed automatic. We could also see an Audi A5 Quattro challenging the four-wheel drive variant of the 4 Series.
The 4 Series certainly looks muscular, the headlights decorated with hexagonal LEDs topping an unusual shape air intake, tapering round to elegantly flared arches and large front wing vents, dubbed the Air Breather by BMW, designed to optimise aerodynamic performance. It's a very svelte and goodlooking car that, nonetheless, will leave no-one in any doubt of your intent as you appear in their rearview mirrors. The 4 Series is far too refined to be called aggressive, rather it's all about well-controlled power.
The cabin is also an improved version of that seen in the 3 Series, with beautifully presented wood trim and tan leather details lending an air of restrained luxury, while the BMW Individual design origins are evident in the discreet insignia applied to door sills and seats. That longer, wider and lower stance allied to a wheel at each corner layout, results in a roomier interior but those familiar with the 3 Series car will find everything where they left it.
There are many who will lament the loss of the 3 Series, particularly the classic M3, but the 4 Series Coupe looks at this stage to be more than capable of handling any protesters.

Study: Vitamin D Lowers Cancer Risk in Women
OMAHA, Neb. – Building hope for one pill to prevent many cancers, vitamin D cut the risk of several types of cancer by 60 percent overall for older women in the most rigorous study yet.
The new research strengthens the case made by some specialists that vitamin D may be a powerful cancer preventive and most people should get more of it. Experts remain split, though, on how much to take.
Click here to get the facts on vitamin D.
"The findings ... are a breakthrough of great medical and public health importance," declared Cedric Garland, a prominent vitamin D researcher at the University of California-San Diego. "No other method to prevent cancer has been identified that has such a powerful impact."
While the most reliable yet, the study does have drawbacks. It was designed mainly to monitor how calcium and vitamin D improve bone health, and the number of cancer cases overall was small, showing up in just 50 patients.
"It's a very small study," said Dr. Edward Giovannucci, who researches nutrition and cancer at the Harvard School of Public Health. "I don't think it's the last word."
In either case, the study takes an important step in extending several decades of research that began with observations that cancer rates among similar groups of people were lower in southern latitudes than in northern ones. Scientists reasoned that had to do with more direct sunlight in southern regions.
The skin makes vitamin D when exposed to sunlight's ultraviolet rays. This study used that same form of the vitamin, known as D3 or cholecalciferol. Multivitamins usually carry a much weaker variant known as D2, but D3 is available in stand-alone dietary supplements.
Earlier research has shown that vitamin D helps regulate cell growth, a fundamental biological process that goes haywire in cancer. Most other supplements have tended to target specific types of disease in early testing, like selenium or vitamin E for prostate cancer.
Click here to visit FOXNews.com's Cancer Center.
This study, published Friday in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, is the first time that researchers significantly boosted — and measured — blood levels of vitamin D and then followed identical groups of patients from start to finish.
That's why, despite its modest size, the research was generating excitement. Nearly all other work has compared disparate groups of patients.
The researchers at Creighton University in Omaha focused on 1,179 seemingly healthy women with an average age of 67. The women were divided into three groups: 446 got calcium and vitamin D3 supplements, a similar number got calcium alone, and 288 took dummy pills.
The research team gave 1,000 daily international units of vitamin D, more than current guidelines calling for 200 to 600 units depending on a person's age.
The researchers intended to check mainly for the effects of calcium on bone health. Their interest in cancer risk was secondary.
But the lower cancer risk stood out. Only 13 women, or 3 percent, developed cancer over four years of calcium and vitamin D supplements. With calcium alone, 17 women, or 4 percent, got cancer. With dummy pills, cancer appeared in 20 women, or 7 percent.
That shows a 60 percent lower cancer risk over four years in the group taking both supplements, compared to patients taking placebos. And when the first-year cancers were excluded — the ones mostly likely present before the study began — the findings were stronger still: a 77 percent lower risk for the combo group.
While the calcium-only group lowered its four-year cancer risk by 47 percent compared to the untreated group, it did no better when early cancers were excluded. That suggests calcium alone may have done little in this experiment, the researchers said.
Experts reviewing the study focused on vitamin D as the powerful agent in the combo group, but it can't be ruled out that calcium might somehow amplify the effect of vitamin D.
While numbers were limited, these women developed a broad range of cancers, including disease of the breast, colon, lungs and blood. Dr. Michael Holick, of Boston University Medical Center, who sat on the professional panel that issued the 1997 guidelines for vitamin D, said this study shows that enough vitamin D "markedly reduces the risk of developing the most serious deadly cancers."
He supports raising the recommended amount of the vitamin and said 1,000 daily units of vitamin D3 would now be reasonable for most people.
On the other hand, Dr. Michael Thun of the American Cancer Society favors keeping the current recommendation of 200 to 600 IUs for now. And he cautioned that more than 2,000 units is viewed in the guidelines as potentially dangerous.
Joan Lappe, the study's lead researcher, said it "just adds to the great bunch of evidence that we need to have better vitamin D nutrition." Some foods carry the vitamin, like salmon, tuna and fortified milk, but diet accounts for little of the vitamin circulating in the body. Overexposure to the sun can cause skin cancer.
Still, people should consult their doctors before boosting their vitamin dosage, several experts also warned.
More study is needed to determine if the effects in this study hold true for large groups of people and men as well as women.

"A beautifully written story of triumph, wit, and sheer determination to survive."
-W. Bruce Cameron, New York Times Bestselling Author
As the face of her eponymous couture bridal business, Erin Cole radiates refined elegance. But the designer's glamorous lifestyle and sweeping success belie a childhood marked by profound dysfunction.
Raised on a steady diet of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and death, no one would have expected Cole to go on to become a force in the fashion world. As a child, she often had no access to food; other times she was force-fed until she vomited. At home and at school, she was beaten, bullied and belittled. Her alcoholic parents alternately abused and ignored her. By the age of sixteen, she was living on her own.
The Size of Everything is Cole's moving story and so much more. Equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious, it's a love letter to her surviving siblings, a how-not-to-parent manual, a testament to the power of positivity, and proof that where you come from doesn't have to determine where you can go. Above all, The Size of Everything offers a powerful message of hope to anyone who believes that impossibly rocky beginnings can't have a happy ending.
"A searing account of a broken, devastating childhood and the triumph that emerged in spite of–and because of–the wreckage. What a book!"
-Allison Winn Scotch, bestselling author
"Remarkable and inspiring."
-Jane Heller, bestselling author

I still am experimenting with different surface techniques on 12″ X 12″ canvases. I started thinking about what different surfaces I could use to paint on? I also am a sculptor and have been making sculptures for most of my life so wanted to get back to my sculptural works. So, I looked at my sculptures and loved the way the plaster created these modulated surfaces and thought that I could reproduce this technique on the stretched canvas. I also can fold the paper and discharge the surface to create interesting textural surfaces. So, I began to think of ways that I can combine different folded papers with the plaster and then wax those surfaces. My first piece was this one. I folded the paper and glued the folded paper onto the canvas and then added collaged materials within the channels and then used the coloured wax to paint the surface.
The next piece I added plaster strips in the channels and then used the coloured wax to paint over the surface and then added oil paint for the last layer of paint.


A Kayseri court has handed down prison sentences of 6 years 3 months to six shopkeepers and housewives on charges of membership in Turkey's Gülen group, which is accused by the Turkish government of masterminding a failed coup attempt in July 2016.
According to the CNN Turk news portal, the convicts — Fatih Aydın, Soner Özen, Murat Yavuz, Çetin Bayram, Ayşe Nurcu and Hatice Çanakçı – were found guilty for having bank accounts at Gülen-affiliated Bank Asya, which was seized by the government before the coup attempt, and for using a mobile phone application called ByLock.
Turkish authorities claim that using ByLock is a sign of being a Gülenist as they see the mobile phone application as the top communication tool among the group.

With being a football fanatic to distract me through most of the winter, I'm not normally pining for baseball as much as the next Sox fiend by the time pitchers and catchers report.
After that, though, it's quite a different story.
For me, the wait from 'pitchers and catchers report' to 'actually playing real baseball' is the most interminable of the sports year. What few games are broadcast this early in the season are utterly meaningless -- utterly. Inferences and predictions are equally meaningless this time of year.
Even if you tune in to see the familiar faces, you won't always find them. What real joy and intrigue there is to take from Spring Training, once we've moved past the first-day-of-school feeling of the initial reports to the Fort, can usually be found in the minor leaguers invited to camp (provided you're unhealthily obsessed, anyway).
This year, though, there's not much new there, either. As Don Orsillo and Peter Gammons rather drily pointed out, by the end of last season, more than a few of the "bench guys" who played last night -- Nava, Kalish, et al -- actually already have been regulars.
There is one player in camp this year, though, who is a real novelty to see. Still far too young to be on the big club's radar last year, no matter how dire the injury-plagued straits they found themselves in, this player has nonetheless been talked up since he first defected from Cuba to join the Red Sox around this time last year. And during his appearance in last night's exhibition, at least, 20-year-old shortstop Jose Iglesias did not disappoint.
I can't even be angry at the moment that my TiVo didn't record the game, and I got back home from dinner out to find I had to resort to NESN and Web highlights to catch up on the Sox v. college kids action tonight. Because I still got to see even a moment of never-before-seen Red Sox baseball (tm Red), and right now, that's enough to put a spring in my step.
Meanwhile, the upside to seeing just the NESN highlights of the BC game was that it cut through the sleepiness of an exercise that was less a contest than a circus of starry-eyed college kids getting tossed like raw meat to the pros; seeing just the best moments gave me a straight shot of good baseball.
Boof Bonser, with his plush Youk-esque goatee and broad shoulders, reminds me somewhat of a teddy bear. But his pitches were fierce, including a breaking ball to send an Eagle down swinging in the first.
Later that same inning, Dustin Pedroia dropped a precise, neat little hit into right field, then rolled into second shaking his head and laughing, presumably at an error in the outfield that had allowed him the extra base.
It was the second time in two days I'd seen Pedroia's grin (the first on a 2009 highlights montage showed Saturday, and God knows I love me a nice, sappy, music/baseball montage). There's something invigorating about that expression of his, eyes alight, mischief bubbling over behind his smile.
He was audacious as a rookie and insouciant as one of the relative newcomers to the team in previous years, but now that he and fellow Sox farm product Kevin Youkilis have coalesced as the core of the Sox infield, there seems a more relaxed, somehow even cockier air about him -- at home on the infield dirt, chuckling at the youngsters bumbling around behind him on the grass.
Not to be outdone, Pedroia's protege, Jose Iglesias, also earned a spot in the highlight reel with a bases-clearing double and pickoff throw for an out at second, both in the fourth inning. And that pickoff throw, it turns out, had come from none other than Jason Varitek.
You mean...I actually enjoy hearing from the CHB, and I get to see Tek actually get a runner, any runner, out at second base -- all in the same day?

Retailers are in business to make money and there is no greater indicator of financial success then profit margin. The most profitable apparel retailers such as Lululemon and Kate Spade generate net profit margins between 12 and 14%.
The most successful retailers understand bricks vs. clicks is not a zero sum game finding there are benefits to having both physical stores and an online presence. Traditional physical store only apparel retailers who fully embrace internet shopping such as Nordstrom are having huge success.
High volume corner locations are coveted by many convenience retailers because they are especially visible which aids in store awareness and marketing often boosting sales. Corners are also be frequent destinations for teens and adults, many of whom stop daily on the way to and from school and work.
Boutique fitness, urgent care, and quick serve restaurants top our list as the hottest categories in retail right now. The demand for a unique fitness experience by consumers continues to grow as noted in a recent WSJ article titled "The 500 a month Workout Habit".

Network Computer
The Network Computer (or NC) was a diskless desktop computer device made by Oracle Corporation from approximately 1996 to 2000. The devices were designed and manufactured by an alliance, which included Sun Microsystems, IBM, and others. The devices were designed with minimum specifications, based on the Network Computer Reference Profile. The brand was also employed as a marketing term to try to popularize this design of computer within enterprise and among consumers.
The NC brand was mainly intended to inspire a range of desktop computers from various suppliers that, by virtue of their diskless design and use of inexpensive components and software, were cheaper and easier to manage than standard fat client desktops. However, due to the commoditization of standard desktop components, and due to the increasing availability and popularity of various software options for using full desktops as diskless nodes, thin clients, and hybrid clients, the Network Computer brand never achieved the popularity hoped for by Oracle and was eventually mothballed.
The term "network computer" is now used for any diskless desktop computer or a thin client.

The failure of the NC to impact on the scale predicted by Larry Ellison may have been caused by a number of factors. Firstly, prices of PCs quickly fell below $1000, making the competition very hard. Secondly, the software available for NCs was neither mature nor open.[1][not in citation given]
Thirdly, the idea could simply have been ahead of its time, as at the NC's launch in 1996, the typical home Internet connection was only a 28.8 kbit/s modem dialup. This was simply insufficient for the delivery of executable content. The world wide web itself was not considered mainstream until its breakout year, 1998. Prior to this, very few Internet service providers advertised in mainstream press (at least outside of the USA), and knowledge of the Internet was limited. This could have held back uptake of what would be seen as a very niche device with no (then) obvious appeal.
Ironically, NCs ended up being used as the very 'dumb terminals' they were intended[citation needed] to replace, as the proprietary backend infrastructure is not readily available.[clarification needed] 1990s era NCs are often network-booted into a minimal Unix with X, to serve as X terminal. While NC purists may consider this to be a suboptimal use of NC hardware, the NCs work well as terminals, and are considerably cheaper than purpose-built terminal hardware.
Although the NC architecture is rooted in a Client–server model, it helped pave the way for what became an incredibly successful cloud computing market a decade later. The client server model is rarely referred to any more, but Virtualization from the IT space is now permeating the Network domain with Network functions virtualization (NFV) and Software-defined networking (SDN).
NC standards and drafts
Reference Profile
The initial Network Computing standard, the Network Computer Reference Profile (NCRef), required that all 'NC' appliances supported HTML, Java, HTTP, JPEG, and other key standards.
For more details on this topic, see Network Computer Reference Profile.
Because many NCs did not use Intel CPUs or Microsoft software, Microsoft and Intel developed a competing standard called NetPC.[2] Other alternatives to the NCRef were WeBRef (Motorola and HDS Network Systems) and Odin (National Semiconductor).[3] The HDS @workStation was stated to ship by the end of June 1996.[4]
NC extensions
This list may be incomplete.
Enterprise Network Computer Product Standard (January 1999)
Mobile Network Computing Reference Specification – This document is a working draft, not a standard (March 1999)
NC implementations
Acorn Network Computer
An Acorn NetStation NC
The Acorn Network Computer was Oracle's initial reference implementation of the NC. Its development was subcontracted to British company Acorn Computers,[5] who adapted its own RISC OS to create NCOS.[6] Acorn made use of local partner companies ANT, Icon Technology and Design Edge to fulfil their contract.[7]
Macintosh NC
In 1997 Apple announced the Mac NC, its attempt to develop the Pippin into a network computer platform. By the end of 1997, Steve Jobs discontinued all Macintosh clone efforts, effectively killing the Pippin, although key components of the Mac NC technology were inherited by the original iMac.
NetProducts NetStation
The first generation NetStation design and the NetStation trademark was licensed to NChannel, which provided the consumer equipment and Internet service (with associated infrastructure) for the UK market. After a few months, NChannel split into two entities: NetChannel (which provided the Internet service) and NetProducts which provided the consumer hardware.
NetProducts started working with Acorn to develop a next-generation product, NetStation II and started developing an email-only set-top-box (the TVemail). NetProducts went into voluntary liquidation in 1998 before either project was completed.
Sun Microsystems JavaStation
Sun Microsystems developed the JavaStation, a JavaOS-based NC based on SPARC hardware, initially similar to Sun's range of Unix workstations.
IBM Network Station
IBM launched its Network Station in September 1996.[8] As with the later reference design, the Network Station used a NetBSD-based NCOS booted over a LAN from an AS/400 or IBM PC server. The Network Station supported local execution of basic applications, such as a web browser and console. In addition, X capability was also implemented to allow both locally and remotely run applications to be used on the same machine. In practice, the lack of real applications meant that this was little more than a hardware X terminal.
The IBM Network Station was originally based on the PowerPC architecture, but the final few models used Intel Pentium processors.
Contemporary analogy
Some see the idea behind the NC as existing in contemporary times in the system of cloud computing and in particular Google Chrome OS. In Wired magazine, Daniel Roth claims that the failure of the network computer eventually led to the development of cloud computing. A large contribution to this transition was attributed to Eric Schmidt, once the CTO of Sun Microsystems, a proponent of the network computer, who eventually became the CEO of Google. Google is a large purveyor of cloud technology, "most notably Google Docs and Spreadsheets."[9]

Here we are rapidly closing in on the end of April. Seems like it was just March the other day. The weather system that blew through here yesterday morning dropped the temperature if not the humidity. This morning is dawning a cool 57 degrees with a low fog out the (open) back door. I pulled a Fred first thing this morning (did I trigger your Google alert Fred?) wandering out in the dew covered backyard to see what kind of images I could capture early before the sun came up. It's always nice when we have a Blue Ridge morning in Texas.
Here is the best of the handful of images I pulled in…my backyard just before sunrise this morning.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to the macrobiotic approach to diet, the healthiest food for you to eat is that which has been grown near you, or at least in the same latitude. Unless you live in the tropics, for instance, bananas shouldn't be on your menu. Let's make that meme your Metaphor of the Week, Aquarius. According to my interpretation of the omens, all your best bets will be local and homegrown. You should pluck pleasures that are close by, and avoid temptations beckoning from a distance. You should trust clues that arrive from sources you can personally verify, and be skeptical of those from friends of friends of friends.
The news from Washington is all the same, so I won't bother to go there. Just imagine where we would be today had we not tried this experiment in Judicially appointed Presidents. I am sure that just scares the hell out of the right, "Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue". Come to think of it, that's just what it's been, six years of waking nightmares.

Aarne Sihvo (22 November 1889 – 12 June 1963) was a Finnish general and politician.

Biography
Sihvo was born in Virolahti to a family of school teachers: Antti Adolf Sihvo and Minna Elisabeth o.s. Nyman. He graduated from a high school in 1910 and began studying medicine in the Helsinki University.

In 1915 he moved to Germany where he started his military education. During the Civil war in Soviet Russia in 1918 Aarne commanded the front in Karelia between Saimen and Ladoga Lake. His military operations as a part of Karelian army concluded to holding a position south of Vuoksen. His youth, his background as a hunter and his speaking Finnish made him an alternative to Gustaf Mannerheim. But despite his successful initial career he left the Army in 1918 because he couldn't come to terms with German orientation. He was an adherent of Republic unlike with many advocates of monarсhy of his country. Aarne Sihvo had run as a candidate for parliamentary elections in 1919 as a member of the National Progressive Party and won the majority of votes in his district.

He was a member of the Parliament of Finland from 1919 to 1920, representing the National Progressive Party. He was the Chief of Defence of the Finnish Defence Forces 1926–1933 and 1946–1953. Sihvo was a recipient of the Latvian military Order of Lāčplēsis, 2nd class.

Sihvo died aged 73, in Helsinki. He is buried in the Hietaniemi Cemetery in Helsinki.

Walter Daley, owner and senior counsel of Daley & Associates law firm in Tallahassee, was our boss. He didn't handle too many cases himself anymore, so I assumed he'd been sitting in the back of the courtroom with Jimmy when all this occurred. My name's Frank Cole, by the way, but you'll hear plenty about me later in the story.
"We'd never seen the guy trundling a SCUBA tank before then, so you know it's a hoax. Probably hoping to play on the jury's sympathies." I knew no such thing, having signed on as Jimmy Hanigan's assistant at Daley & Associates only two months earlier. At first I'd stuck to what I do best, which is Internet background checks and retrieval of court documents, but Jimmy believed in on-the-job training. He'd taken me on a wide variety of firm assignments, from depositions to neighborhood door-knocking, and I'd already learned a lot under his tutelage.
I was now sitting behind the wheel of a pickup truck that belonged to one of Jimmy's many friends. He liked to switch vehicles during surveillance jobs like this one, and so we would probably be using this rig only once.
I looked away from the yellow house, and was struck once again by the youth of my new mentor in the PI business. Jimmy Hanigan was twenty-seven, which made him four years my junior, but he'd been working various jobs in the investigations business for close to ten years.
His hair was jet black, and his brown eyes were so dark that they might just as well have been black too. He stood a shade under six feet, which made him my height, and his trim physique hid what I already knew was impressive physical strength. I'd seen him pin an uncooperative informant to the wall of an alley one time, and had felt no concern about the struggling man getting away. This morning he was wearing a white collared shirt untucked over a set of blue jeans, and a pair of calf-high black boots that he wore more often than not.
"So we're going to sit here until we see him take the thing for a fill-up?" I'd been employed on the periphery of the PI business for over a year by then, and had developed the habit of questioning much of what was said to me. Off the top of my head I could see three or four ways we could be thwarted in this quest. Additionally, I'd once sat with Jimmy in the back of a small van for an entire day and night, and didn't really want to try it again.
"And exactly what does that do in court?" Jimmy knew a lot about the law, and more than once I'd found him discussing nuanced legal points with Walter.
"It's not so much a court thing, actually. If we can gather enough evidence that Mr. Dillon's a fake, Walter will let the other side know we can make their guy look like a fool. They'll have to respond to that, because our next step will be in court. We'll wait until Mr. Dillon's on the stand, ask him who his doctor is, how often he visits, that kind of thing. Once the answers are on record, we'll shoot them down one by one.
I was about to ask how long we were expected to watch Mr. Dillon when something caused Jimmy to lean closer to the windshield. I looked down the street again, and then glanced at the photo sitting between us on the truck's bench seat. Jimmy had snapped that picture at the end of court the previous week, and I now recognized Mr. Dillon as he came out his front door.
It was a quiet neighborhood, but Monday was getting started and so there were people out and about. Some were going to work, some were walking dogs, and a couple, like our friend from the oxygen tank story, seemed to be getting ready to go for a jog. The Mr. Dillon before us was a thin middle-aged man, dressed in running shorts and a sweatshirt, and we watched in silent amazement as he went through a long series of stretching exercises. No oxygen bottle, or assistance of any other kind, was in sight.
I spoke slowly, as if stupid. "So you were saying we wouldn't actually see what we needed, and that it was what we didn't see—" I never finished that barb, as Jimmy began hissing orders over his shoulder while searching the truck's floor for the appropriate tools.
Both of the truck's windows were open in the early morning heat, and I soon had a nice shot of Mr. Dillon doing an impressive side stretch right in front of his doorstep. The camera was digital, and I confirmed that I had captured the moment just as Hanigan came up with a camcorder and the day's newspaper.
We stayed well back, which was easy because Mr. Dillon took off at a very respectable clip. Jimmy got some footage of him speeding down the street until, as predicted, he hopped onto the running trail at a local park. The path went around a small pond before being obscured for a distance by some trees, and close to a dozen people were already jogging in the new morning's sun.
Jimmy directed me to a parking space with a good vantage point, and we let Mr. Dillon go by once so that we could select the proper public bench. I held the camcorder low in the window, panning it left and right to show our surroundings while waiting for our quarry to return. I had to admire Mr. Dillon's grace when he came back around and passed a man seated on one of the park's benches. The man had one black boot crossed over the other, and his face was obscured by the front page of the local paper.
"Well that was quick, I'll say that." Jimmy commented as he hopped back in and took the camera from me. He watched the replay, nodding his head in approval, and then handed it back. I looked into the viewer, and soon saw Mr. Dillon running past a very legible shot of that day's paper.
We decided to shoot a little more film of Mr. Dillon as he jogged home, and then Hanigan said we should head for the barn.
That was his little way of saying we were going back to the law office, but it was by no means a surprising turn of phrase. Hannigan had been raised in nearby Tallahassee, but he could switch from a full-on Southern accent to an unidentifiable monotone in the middle of a sentence. He could do the same thing mentally, too, sounding like a college professor one moment and then coming across as a country bumpkin the next. His ability to adapt to just about any given situation came in handy when we were going door-to-door, but I sometimes wondered if I knew the real Jimmy Hanigan at all.
We grabbed a celebratory breakfast on the way, and pulled into the parking lot of Daley & Associates around midmorning. A waist-high hedge ran around the white building, which looked more like a large private home than a law office. It fit well with the surrounding neighborhood, which consisted of middle-class houses and fenced-in back yards. It was early fall in the Panhandle, which meant it was rapidly getting hot outside.
We went up a cement walkway to a black-painted front door that sported a large brass knocker. The knocker was circular, and its base was formed by two hands holding a heart wearing a crown. Walter Daley was proud of his Irish ancestry, and the hands-and-crowned-heart symbol was known as the Claddagh among the children of the Emerald Isle. I had found it a welcoming symbol long before Walter told me that was one of its meanings.
We passed inside, entering a large reception area bustling with the new day's activity. The interior of Daley & Associates was painted in light colors, with an emphasis on white, yellow, and tan. The floors were hardwood and covered with rugs, potted plants guarded the walls, and the whole effect left me wondering if I'd walked into a law office or some rich man's club.
The clothing gave it away, however, as Jimmy and I were the only ones in casual dress. Lawyers and paralegals wearing business suits could be seen in the long main hallway behind the foyer, and we exchanged good-mornings with two of the receptionists as we passed on through.
Hanigan was not on good terms with some of the more senior lawyers in the building, and I had not yet summoned the nerve to ask why. He usually made a point of ignoring them, and I assumed he was simply making it clear that he answered to one boss, Walter. The flip side of that dynamic was interesting, though; Hanigan seemed on excellent terms with every novice, paralegal, and gopher in the place.
He was also friendly with Emil Tabor, the office manager, and I considered this to be a major point in his favor. I'd had a crackerjack office manager in the company I'd briefly owned in another life, and believed that only a fool would alienate the individual who keeps the whole place running. We passed Emil in the long, white-paneled corridor which led to Walter's office, but Tabor was busy upbraiding one of the firm's star litigators and didn't seem to notice us.
"Listen, Emil, I'm not going to argue with you about this." Bernie Kaplan was the fastest horse in Walter's stable, but he had an ego that rankled much of the staff. I looked back briefly to see the chubby, dark-haired attorney wagging a finger at the thin, unconcerned office manager, and wondered what made Bernie think he stood a snowball's chance of winning the argument.
Hanigan knocked on Walter Daley's door even though it stood open. Walter's office occupied a back corner of the building's ground floor, and its main feature was a wall of large windows. These looked out on the picnic area out back which many Daley & Associates employees used for their lunch breaks. A big part of Walter's self-image rested in his ability to provide for others, and the lunch area was just one more indication of his role as father figure and tribal chieftain.
"Jimmy. Frank. Come on in." Walter was seated behind an enormous carved desk, and he finished reading a typed page of something while we took seats in front of him. His office was a cross between a study and a Gaelic museum, as the walls were covered with the Daley family's coat of arms, maps of Ireland from Roman times to the modern era, and paintings of Irish farmers and fishermen plying their trades. The rugs on the floor looked like medieval tapestries, and the room's white walls were interrupted at regular intervals by rich brown paneling.
Daley put the paper down and settled back in his chair. He was a short man, but his shoulders were impressively broad. He almost always wore a vested suit to work, and the wheat-colored fabric of that day's outfit wrapped around his barrel chest like armor. His dark hair was shot through with gray, but his face showed very few wrinkles.
I pulled out a small notebook and pencil while Jimmy slid forward on his chair. I'd never heard Walter start an assignment that way before, and I guessed Jimmy hadn't either.
"Testator?" I asked, never ceasing to be amazed at Jimmy Hanigan's legal repertoire.
"Isn't that unusual? What's his wife expected to live on?" I posed this question while scribbling madly.
"The second wife and the son were well taken care of in the missing will. The wife got the house, everything in it, and roughly a million dollars. The son got just under a million. Furthermore, the daughter has been administering Chet Pratt's charitable giving for years. She's the business brains in the family now that Chet is gone.
"At the time we created the will, Chet wanted to put his daughter in the driver's seat. His estate is currently valued at roughly forty million dollars, so he felt he was positioning her to continue running the charity, and also to help out the second wife or the son as she saw fit.
"You said this will was only two months old. The man dies in his sleep, and then his new will goes missing. That sounds a little suspicious." Hanigan had a fine feel for the dark side of things.
"This is where it gets a little confusing. Chet had a close call a year and a half ago. He wasn't a well man, and so he was taking medication for his heart and a couple of other things. The drugs interacted unexpectedly, and he had a mild attack. They saved him at the hospital, and so of course they changed his drug regimen. He was still taking the same heart pills, but they took him off the other medication that caused his close call.
"The night he died he was reading in his study late at night, after his wife had gone to bed. It seems he nodded off down there, and then had the heart attack that killed him. Belinda—his second wife—found him in the morning. She tried her best to revive him, but he was already gone.
The three of us let that one sit for a while, mostly because it so clearly affected Walter. It was hard to tell if he and Pratt had been close friends, but Walter had a habit of emotionally adopting people and frequently extended that to clients.
"So you'd like us to see if we can locate the will." Jimmy offered after a time.
"That, or at least come up with a timeframe for when it vanished. Try to determine when it was last seen. Who knows? Maybe he did destroy the thing. He originally wanted Belinda to get his entire estate, but she wanted most of it to go to the kids. She made him get the new will, basically to keep from being called a gold-digger, but I don't think Chet was happy about it.
"He was like that—a little headstrong. Initially Belinda wanted to sign a pre-nup, but Chet wouldn't hear of it. We drew up a will for him when they first got married, leaving her most of his estate, but apparently he didn't tell her about it at the time. When she found out, she made him get the new one." Walter shook his head. "At any rate, I'd like you to try and fill in some of the blanks here. Find out if the will was always kept in the safe, who had access to it, and if anybody can recall Chet making any comments about going back on the thing.

How Amber Riley Transformed During 2020: New Music, Her TV Return and the Future of #unMUTEny
Angelique Jackson
Amid the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests, actor, singer and activist Amber Riley learned to fully embrace the power of her voice. In the last year, Riley has released a self-titled EP, launched #unMUTEny as a movement to "end Black silence in the entertainment industry," remixed "O Christmas Tree" into the carol "Oh Shopping Spree" in partnership with Straight Talk Wireless and landed a starring role (and a co-executive producer title) on the NBC musical comedy "Dream." Asked what she will take away from 2020, Riley tells Variety: "I'm stronger than I thought I was. I'm more resilient than I thought that I was. I'm more creative than I thought that I was."
• #unMUTEny
After speaking out about the trials she's faced as a Black woman in Hollywood, Riley launched #unMUTEny, encouraging other Black entertainers to share their experiences, in hopes of making change for those in the industry and beyond. Riley says that the pandemic and some institutional red tape have impeded her progress on taking the movement outside of social media at the moment, but she's not giving up. "I've always wanted to [create] a hub or a place that helped people of color, Black people specifically, in this industry because I know what it is that we experience," Riley says. "It's gonna take some time, but it's definitely still at the forefront of my mind."

The Reckoning Over Representation: Black Hollywood Speaks Out, But Is the Industry Listening?
When it comes to that conversation about representation for Black and brown people in the industry, what changes have you seen since we last spoke over the summer, when Black Lives Matter protests prompted Hollywood to promise to do better?
Sheesh. If I could be completely honest, not much. One thing that we can say is acknowledgement has happened. My agency, CAA, has taken steps to get information, to talk to their clients [about their experiences]. I'm very proud of my agency; I think they are trying to be great allies and a great example for their clients. They have different clients that have different experiences than their white counterparts and, for them to acknowledge that, it's really incredible.
But we have a long way to go as far as representation, not just in front of the camera, but behind the camera and having people in higher positions that are making decisions. That's why it was so important to me to be a co-executive producer on my show; it was very important to me that I had decision-making power because we know ourselves in our community, and we know the stories that need to be told. So, slowly but surely, I'm seeing more Black executive producers, more Black women executives in a lot of different arenas. I think people are listening, but it's gonna be a 'climb' as Miley Cyrus says (laughs).
• "Dream"
In November, the actor announced her first series regular role on TV since leaving "Glee" in 2015, playing a former teen mom who chases her dream of becoming a musician after her son graduates from college. Producers Neil Meron and the late Craig Zadan fought for her to have a co-executive producer title on the project. "That's real allyship," Riley says. "They really, really believed in me, and they walk their talk."
How did this project come together?
Honestly, I have to give so many props to Craig Zadan, who passed away, and Neil Meron. Doing this deal, they were adamant about me having a executive producer credit. So, I have to give it to them for their brilliance and their experience. I'm learning a lot from them as executive producers about how this business works. Then Lisa Muse Bryant, an incredible Black woman, writer, and friend, she created this show; this is her brainchild and we're just coming in with our opinions and brainstorming in and creating. I'm in awe of her. Honestly, I'm a fan.
When you made the announcement, you also posted a comment on Instagram, writing, "I remember when they told me my career was over after Glee. They were right. Career ended, but my dreams began." Tell me more about that.
Sometimes you have to let things go in order to find where you're supposed to be. I am not meant to sit in the background. I've said from the beginning that I'm a leading lady; that's what I want and that's okay for me to say that. I'm not apologizing for that. I think that I have value in this industry, and I can bring value to a network, and a television show. TV is a passion of mine; I've loved it since I was a kid. I just love seeing stories unfold; it's that part of me that loves watching people and seeing things play out. So, I had to walk away from what everybody else was telling me that I should be, and the work that I deserved, and I had to walk into what I really wanted. That was the harder choice — saying no to things that would just be jobs that aren't my passion and saying yes to things that may not work or that I have to fight for. But that's my dream.
• "RILEY"
Riley adopted a new persona, simply named 'RILEY,' for her new six-track R&B-flavored EP, featuring songs like "BGE (Big Girl Energy)" and "A Moment," which she performed in tribute to her late "Glee" co-star Naya Rivera in August. "I finally got to a point where I felt like I could be vulnerable and open, and write, and really tell my story," she says. "Riley was a reintroduction to everyone that's been supporting me for so many years. I didn't want to disappoint, you know, and I wanted to connect with everyone through music." She says her alter ego has always been there, but she didn't share it with the public: "It's a side that my family and those that are really close to me know. There's the spicier, sexier side; it's the more open side." Most recently, Grammy-winning icon Dionne Warwick tweeted that the actor-singer is among the young artists whose career she enjoys following. A shocked Riley responded to the praise with a video posted to her own feed, exclaiming: "Yes, yes, yes! Make my year, legend."
I read that RILEY is an alter-ego, your 'Sasha Fierce,' how did you discover this side of yourself?
I think that was always there. It's a side that my family and those that are really close to me know; there's the spicer, the sexier side, it's the more open side. And so as Jay-Z said, 'Allow me to reintroduce myself… My name is Riley.' That's what it was for the public now. Being so sure and private about yourself, lets you live your life out loud. This EP was such a diary for me and it kind of chronicled lived my life a little bit and where I was in the in the past couple of years.
Where do you see your music progressing from here?
An album is coming; I don't know what this album is gonna sound like at this point, but it'll be R&B music and being honest about where it is that I am in life. I'm so happy right now, but I also want to tap into what the temperature of the world and this generation is too.
You do have one holiday tune – remixing 'O Christmas Tree' into 'Oh Shopping Spree' as part of you partnership with Straight Talk Wireless – where did this collaboration come from?
Straight Talk Wireless basically came to me and said, 'Hey, we wanted to do a holiday carol remix.' And I'm like, 'I'm all about it. I love Christmas music and I'm all about spreading holiday cheer.' It was a fun way to kind of partner and get everyone in holiday spirit and promote saving. We're in a pandemic right now, saving is really important; people are really stressed out about having to get people gifts and making sure that they're also paying attention to their pockets. I think It was just really dope of Straight Talk Wireless to put a deal together that takes the stressor out of and puts the fun back into shopping for the holidays.

Why America Needs to Treat All Workers Like Full-Time Employees
SourceDutchy/Getty
Because America needs to decide if we want dignity, benefits and protections for all workers, or just for employees.
By Anna Nordberg
The Daily Dose OCT 03 2017
OZY's educational wing, OZY EDU, is touring the nation's colleges to bring important conversations into the classroom. First up: The Future of Work. We're exploring how everything from automation to the gig economy is reshaping work, and how the education system can keep up. Read more.
A funny thing happened when I started working on a story about the gig economy, also called the freelance economy, which is enabled by digital platforms like Uber, TaskRabbit and Airbnb. At times, it felt like the tale of two economies — one where flexibility, autonomy and diverse sources of income set workers free; and another where income instability, uncertainty and a lack of benefits generate a lot of stress. So which is it?
Well, when it comes to work, it seems like freedom cuts both ways in America. Gigging lets you set your own hours and choose your own projects, but it also forces you to pay for your own health insurance, hustle for jobs and contribute to your own retirement account. Oh, and none of the protections offered under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) apply to you. Essentially, the U.S. labor market structure penalizes anyone who's not an employee in a full-time job, says Diane Mulcahy, author of The Gig Economy. "For a country that is so enamored with the entrepreneur, we have a perverse way of supporting that."
So what could change look like?
What rights should all workers have?
To back up a bit, the practice of attaching benefits like health care to full-time jobs only started in World War II, when price controls forced companies to come up with different ways to attract talent. It's a historical quirk, but a significant one, since full-time W-2 employees continue to benefit from U.S. labor policies more than any other class of worker. They get unemployment insurance, workers' compensation and legal protections under the FLSA, as well as benefits like health care. In general, part-time employees get minimum wage and some legal protections, but no benefits or unemployment insurance. The self-employed — independent contractors who file a 1099 — get nothing.
After the 2008 recession, this became even more of a problem, because jobs came back in the 1099 column, not the W-2 column. To put it another way: Demand for work came back, but full-time jobs didn't. So why are we still tying benefits and protections to employee status when the whole notion of job security is changing?
It's important to remember that the digital gig economy still represents only a tiny portion of contractor work, and the challenges for workers without benefits — many of whom work in retail, food services and construction — were here long before the first TaskRabbit delivered a bacon, egg and cheese at 3 a.m. What the gig economy's done is shine a spotlight on the issue.
Some changes are already being suggested, like creating a new class of worker. A few digital platform companies, like Shyp and Hello Alfred, voluntarily classify employees as W-2s. Countries like the United Kingdom are exploring policies that would give contractors some, but not all, of the benefits of employees. This incremental approach is laudable, but it ignores the greater question, which is: What rights should all workers have?
Well, to start, let's expand the FLSA to cover all classes of workers. Allow everyone who works the dignity of workers' comp and unemployment insurance, and protections against sexual harassment and discrimination. The idea that you need to work a certain amount of hours for one company to earn those rights is ludicrous. Also, get rid of the self-employment tax. Currently, employers pay half of an employee's share of Social Security and Medicare, but, when you're self-employed, as Ben Zipperer, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, points out, you have to pay it all. "That raises expenses in a way we often overlook."
And then there's health care. It's not a coincidence that the rise of 1099 workers tracked the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Roy Bahat, head of Bloomberg Beta, a venture capital firm that invests in the future of work, says that every worker focus group they met with had the same top answer when asked what the government could do for them: "Pay for my health care." "Truck drivers in Ohio were actually saying things like, 'If Canada does it, why can't we?'" says Bahat.
Obviously, these policy proposals, including expanding health care coverage, would be a heavy lift in Washington, to put it mildly. But they could actually increase innovation, not stifle it. "Workers crave stability," says Bahat. "It's the platform that risk-taking comes from. We tout the gig economy as freedom, and yet, paradoxically, people tend to take risks when they feel safe enough to take them."
Think about it this way: Maybe, through the dignity of reliable worker benefits for all, we can give people the stability to really shake things up.
