Quenneville Strikes Gold Again with Kane Line Swap
The winger gets a huge boost as Q reunites him with Toews, Bickell

Players, Coach Q Discuss Game 4 Win

The Blackhawks are satisfied with the team's effort in breaking the Kings home arena winning streak but know there's a lot more work to be done. (Published Friday, June 7, 2013)
Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville has made his name in the Windy City by switching up line combinations at will, but on Thursday night, he pulled off one of his savviest moves yet.
Patrick Kane, who was the subject of intense media scrutiny before Game 4, came out of the gate a little bit flat in the game and wasn't getting quite the jump that the team had expected from him. To counteract this, Quenneville made the decision to switch Kane from the second line with Michal Handzus and Patrick Sharp to the top line with Kane's old running mate Jonathan Toews.
Needless to say, the move paid off like gangbusters. Not only were the results tangible with Kane scoring his first goal in eight games on a late second period tally, but there were also upsides that didn't show up in the scoresheet.
Much like what happened when defenseman Brent Seabrook was repaired with Duncan Keith in the Detroit series, Kane was like a new player when he was reunited with Toews. He was much more aggressive in seeking out the puck, he stepped up his forechecking game quite a bit (including a notable one in the third period that allowed his teammates to get off on a line change), and just overall looked more engaged with all of the aspects of the game that Quenneville has said he wants his forwards to focus on.
Blackhawks' Quest For The Cup: Kings Series
This newfound excitement for Kane also kept him going through some tough times in the contest. Los Angeles Kings defenseman Robyn Regehr drilled Kane awkwardly into the boards in the third period, which gave the Hawks a power play but also shook Kane up quite a bit. Even still, he shrugged off the shot and was back on the ice in short order. Kane also took a wicked high stick to the chops in the third period from Kings forward Dustin Penner, but he pulled himself off the ice and got back into the play.
Obviously, a great deal of the credit for Kane's play has to go to the 24-year old veteran, but Quenneville has to be given props for his mad professor act as well. The Hawks coach is never shy about messing with the team's chemistry if it means giving his club an edge that it lacks, and time and again this postseason he has hammered that point home.
If the Hawks are to knock off the Kings and reach the Stanley Cup Finals (which they will have a chance to do on Saturday night at the United Center), then his willingness to mix things up to get the most out of his players will be at the forefront of the reasons why.

Movie Review – The Fabelmans
Starring: Gabriel LaBelle, Michelle Williams, Paul Dano
The Fabelmans is a movie that Dawson Leery would be ecstatic to watch and would ultimately love; it's his story, our story, Spielberg's story, any artist's story, and it definitely comes from the heart. If you've ever watched Dawson's Creek, that's what it's ultimately about; following your heart, doing what you are passionate about, being with those you love, and telling the truth about yourself. That's what Steven did here, he was honest about his origins, the good & the bad, and while he's too close to the material to make the retelling spectacular, his steady talent mixed with his most open voice makes The Fabelmans something special, whether you ultimately like it or not.
Sammy's first theatre experience was The Greatest Show on Earth, and from that moment on he knew one thing; that he had to make movies. Starting with a train set and his dad's camera, Sammy relived the greatest scenes, started creating his own, and dove headfirst into the life of an amateur director. We follow Sam Fabelman as he grows up, moves states, and goes to high school, all the while improving his craft and turning a hobby into a real passion. Amid family struggles & mental illness, Sammy's dream takes flight, and we know that he's destined, one day, to become a real filmmaker, a real artist, and a real icon.
So, this is Spielberg; I hope that's what you were hoping for. This is his story, his emotional retelling, his life on display, and while it might be fiction, technically, it's also very real. But that makes him nonobjective, which quickly becomes a problem, since his lead actress is hard to watch and hard to connect with. Michelle Williams isn't who she once was, and that's very sad; blame society, blame unfair standards, blame what you will, but the fact remains that Williams' cosmetic procedures have limited her display of emotions, and that her best years are far behind her. I wish the mother storyline had been completely eliminated, because not only would that have knocked an hour off the bloated runtime, but it would have made the movie basically flawless; all the rest was excellent.
LaBelle was a revelation, the music rocked, the writing was clever, the plot was familiarly familial, the scenes looked awesome, it made you love movies all over again, and Spielberg was classically in his element; so much worked it's hard to write it all down. But one actor can bring down the whole project, and Williams wasn't strong; she was definitely making bold choices, but god were they the wrong ones, and her appearance was distracting. The Fabelmans is a nice film, one that many audiences will just adore, and one that may even get enough support to win awards, who knows. But it's too personal to relate to wholly and too reliant on one actress who has made one too many mistakes; watch with an ear to the comedy & an eye on the art, ignoring the one big mistake, because the rest of the film is worth it, it's just too little too late.

U.S. Army National Guard Reservist Wins Case of Employment Discrimination Against Jeweler Harry Winston
Justice Department Secures Relief for U.S. Army National Guard Reservist on Employment Discrimination Claim Against Luxury Jeweler Harry Winston
The Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas announced today that they resolved a claim that luxury jeweler Harry Winston Inc. violated the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) by refusing to offer full-time employment to U.S. Army National Guard Reservist John A. Walker because of his military service obligations.
"Discrimination against members of the National Guard or Reserve because of their service to our country is intolerable, violates the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, and the Department of Justice will not stand for it," said Assistant Attorney General Eric S. Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division. "We honor all service members for their service to our nation, and this settlement signals the Justice Department's ongoing commitment in protecting the rights of our men and women in uniform."
"Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines fight for us. Fighting for their legal rights is the least we can do," said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Patrick for the Southern District of Texas. "All service members, including members of the National Guard and Reserve, need to know that employers cannot discriminate against them based on their military service obligations. This settlement sends a strong message to employers that the U.S. Attorney's Office will protect the rights of our service members."
In December 2017, reservist Walker applied for a job with Harry Winston, Inc., which denied his application. Walker alleged that Harry Winston, Inc. refused to hire him because of his military service obligations. Under the terms of the settlement, Harry Winston, Inc. has agreed to fully compensate Walker for his back-pay and non-wage damages.
Congress enacted USERRA to encourage non-career service in the uniformed services by reducing employment disadvantages; to minimize the disruption to the lives of persons performing military service, their employers and others by providing for the prompt reemployment of such persons upon their completion of such service; and to prohibit discrimination against persons because of their service in the uniformed services or if they pursue a claim under USERRA.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) referred this matter following an investigation by their Veterans' Employment and Training ServiceTraining Service. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas and the Employment Litigation Section of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division handled the case and work collaboratively with the DOL to protect the jobs and benefits of military members.
This investigation was led by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Keith Edward Wyatt and Annalisa Cravens and Paralegal Specialist Raymond Babauta of the Southern District of Texas, along with Assistant Director Andrew Braniff of the Department of Justice's Servicemembers and Veterans Initiative and Senior Trial Attorney Alicia Johnson of the Civil Rights Division's Employment Litigation Section.

COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Chain Threatened By Cyber Attackers
Cyber Attackers Threaten COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Chain
Jason G. Weiss, Peter Baldwin, Faegre Drinker, December 8, 2020
As COVID-19 vaccine approvals and eventual distribution kicks into high gear, there has been a corresponding – and not particularly surprising – increase in cyber threat activity targeting both vaccine producers and other companies involved in the vaccine distribution chain. Most notably, "cold chain" companies responsible for safely storing and transporting the vaccines have been targeted. The problem has become so severe that both the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department ofHomeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently issued a joint security alert on December 3, 2020, highlighting the risk to the coronavirus vaccine distribution chain.
The alert from the FBI and CISA follows on the heels of an international security alert issued by Interpol warning that there may be an onslaught of all types of criminal activity linked to the COVID-19 vaccine by organized crime. On December 2, 2020, Interpol issued an "Orange Notice" outlining potential criminal activity against COVID-19 cold chain transporters and highlighting the risks associated with online fraud linked to "advertising, selling and administering fake vaccines." Interpol warned that, as COVID-19 vaccines get closer to approval and distribution, it will be critical to "ensure the safety of the supply chain and identifying illicit websites and fake products." Interpol also advised member nations to warn the public about cyber threats associated with websites purporting to offer information about vaccines. Notably, Interpol found that, after reviewing over 3,000 websites of online pharmacies suspected of selling illicit medicines and medical devices, "around 1,700 contained cyber threats, especially phishing and spamming malware."
The threat alert released by the FBI and CISA included information provided by the IBM Security X-Force threat intelligence task force, which is dedicated to monitoring COVID-19 cyber threats. For example, the IBM intelligence report highlighted a recent global phishing campaign targeting organizations associated with the COVID-19 vaccine distribution chain, which targeted many leading COVID-19 vaccine producers. As part of this campaign, cyber threat actors sent spear-phishing emails directly to executives involved in sales, procurement, IT, and finance positions at pharmaceutical companies involved in developing vaccines. In addition, the cyber threat actors sent phishing emails in "Requests for Quotations" to COVID-19 vaccine executives throughout the world. The emails contained malicious HTML attachments in order to conduct "credential harvesting" attacks and steal login and passwords for many of the victim's accounts.
The IBM security intelligence report recommends the following defenses to help combat cyber threats against the COVID-19 distribution chain:
· Create and test incident response plans
· Share and ingest threat intelligence
· Assess your third party ecosystem and assess potential risks
· Apply a zero-trust approach to your security strategy
· Use multifactor authentication (MFA) across your organization
· Conduct regular email security educational training
· Use Endpoint Protection and Response
Given the proliferation of cyber-attacks against vaccine producers and the COVID-19 vaccine distribution chain, organizations involved in vaccine development or distribution should carefully review and study the recent threat alert from the FBI and CISA. Finally, in these turbulent times, it is critical that everyone remain vigilant of the threats surrounding the entire COVID-19 vaccine distribution chain.

Two Federal Courts Uphold Coronavirus-Related Restrictions on Abortion Clinics
Federal Courts Uphold Texas, Arkansas Abortion Orders AmidCOVID-19
Two federal circuit courts this week upheld coronavirus-related restrictions on abortion clinics in Texas and Arkansas, offering some legal victories in the larger national debate over whether abortion is an essential medical procedure.
On Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that Federal District Judge Kristine Baker in Little Rock, Arkansas, erred in granting a preliminary injunction against Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson's order prohibiting surgical abortions during the pandemic. The Arkansas victory will be of short effect, however, as the state prepares to open up for elective medical procedures next week.
Meanwhile, a U.S. Fifth Circuit panel, in a 2-1 ruling Monday, allows Texas to restrict medication abortions during the crisis. A week ago, the Fifth Circuit ruled that Texas could prohibit surgical abortions because of public health concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic, turning back a lower court ruling, while delaying a ruling on medication abortions.
In Arkansas, questions quickly swirled Wednesday as Gov. Hutchinson, feeling pressure from hospitals and medical practices trying to avoid layoffs, announced the state would seek to open up for elective medical procedures as early as Monday, provided certain public health requirements are met. One of those requirements is that medical patients be tested for coronavirus 48 hours in advance of being treated for an elective procedure.
Jerry Cox, president of Little Rock-based Family Council, says although the federal court ruling victory will only be effective until Monday, the governor's order on the Little Rock Family Planning Clinic, the state's only surgical abortion provider, and the subsequent ruling plowed some important ground for future cases. Planned Parenthood had joined with the clinic to challenge the governor's order.
"The ruling by the Eighth Circuit yesterday was a huge pro-life victory," Cox said, "and here's why: It allowed the governor's cease and desist order to stand, which means the clinic had to stop doing surgical abortions; and two, they severely slapped the hand of a federal judge here in Little Rock named Kristine Baker, and she has been very prone to rule in a pro-choice direction. … I think the court is sending a very strong message to her that she is out of bounds." Baker was an Obama appointee.
Cox also mentioned that a group of pro-life legislators visited the Little Rock abortion clinic after the governor's order and prayed as a group outside, which he said was unprecedented and drew significant attention to the clinic. "The exposing of evil that has been done has been a huge benefit," Cox said. "The clinic may get back to business as usual, but they have lost big-time in the court of public opinion."
In Texas, meanwhile, the Fifth Circuit's ruling vindicates pro-life GOP Gov. Greg Abbott's contention that abortions, whether medication abortions or surgical abortions, don't rise to the level of a medically necessary procedure.
Trump appointee Kyle Duncan cast the deciding vote in the 2-1 decision, something abortion proponents were quick to note.
The court agreed with the state that a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) was a valid reason to disallow abortion procedures, even those using medication methods. The judges opined that abortion proponents had failed to show that PPE wouldn't be necessary to at least examine women seeking medication abortions.
Conservative group Texas Values reports that because of Abbott's executive order, "an estimated 1,800 babies' lives at least have been saved from abortion to date. On average, abortionists perform 144 abortions per day in Texas."

Tests I carried out last month with a Haswell-based Apple MacBook Air showed Linux largely smashing OS X 10.9 with the latest open-source graphics driver code on Linux over Apple's OpenGL driver. Today I'm testing the latest OS X 10.9.4 state against the newest Linux kernel and Intel Mesa driver code on Ubuntu while this time using an older Sandy Bridge era Apple Mac Mini.
- OS X 10.9.4 with Apple's Intel OpenGL driver and other stock OS X components and all available updates.
- Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64-bit with all available package updates.
- The above Ubuntu 14.04.1 configuration then upgrading to using Mesa 10.3-devel and other newer user-space components supplied by the Oibaf PPA.
- The above configuration of Ubuntu 14.04.1 with Mesa 10.3-devel and then using the Linux 3.16 kernel in place of Ubuntu 14.04's default Linux 3.13 kernel. The newer kernels were obtained from the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA.
- The above Ubuntu configuration then upgrading to the very latest Linux 3.17 kernel. As shared yesterday, there appears to be Intel Sandy Bridge improvements with Linux 3.17.
The same Apple Mac Mini was used throughout all testing and was equipped with an Intel Core i5 2415M CPU, 2GB of DDR3 system memory, 500GB Hitachi HDD, and Intel HD Graphics 3000. No hardware changes or setting changes were made between test runs. All tests were facilitated by the Phoronix Test Suite GPLv3 benchmarking software. The selection of OpenGL tests used were limited to those with native OS X and Linux ports of comparable quality.

Upcoming: Da Vinci's Inquest movie, June 14, CBC
May 12, 2008 Diane Wild	4 Comments
DOMINIC DAVINCI IS BACK JUNE 14
MOW to air on CBC with all-star cast
An all-star Canadian line-up including Nicholas Campbell (Da Vinci's Inquest), Mary Walsh (This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Michael Murphy (Away from Her) and Hugh Dillon (Durham County) co-stars in Quality of Life, the first Dominic Da Vinci movie, following up the series Da Vinci's Inquest and Da Vinci's City Hall created by Vancouver's Chris Haddock. The television movie will air June 14 at 8 p.m. 9 p.m. on CBC.
Dominic Da Vinci (Campbell) hosts a big city mayors' conference that is upset when he and one of his guests become key witnesses and possible suspects in a murder after a political soirée and private sex-party that followed. Da Vinci is pulled further into the investigation when event hosts, media magnate Charles Greenborne (Murphy) and his wife Katherine (Walsh), engineer an elaborate cover up along with their associates, including the consummate professional fixer Jean Tellier (Dillon).
Da Vinci, having matured in his tenure as Mayor of Vancouver and now being pressured into running for Premier, finds himself having to walk the razor's edge between morality and the abyss of political compromise.
This noirish thriller, helmed by director John Fawcett (Ginger Snaps), and starring the award-winning Da Vinci ensemble, is written by Chris Haddock and Alan DiFiore. The creative team leapt at the new movie challenge with their seemingly bottomless well of ideas and storylines. "I really wanted to make sure it wasn't a couple of episodes coupled together," says Haddock. "I wanted a complete, satisfying story with the feel of a feature. We wanted to make sure the audience would feel like it's getting something fresh, but with enough of the old series to connect with the loyal viewers."
"I think the audience is going to really like it," says Campbell. "At first they may want to watch the movie for nostalgic reasons – it's like putting on a favorite old coat. But at the same time the story has moved on and I think it's even more sophisticated and entertaining. If a person has never seen the series before I think they will say, 'Wow, what a movie!'"
Alongside the four stars, Quality of Life also features Bruce Ramsay, Ron Lea and Tinsel Korey with Da Vinci's City Hall colleagues like Venus Terzo, Patrick Gallagher, Brian Markinson, Ben Ratner and Mylene Dinh-Robic.

Meet Lisa.
Resolving the real issues.
By Doug Hanna
After several therapists dismissed her case.
After an incident in which she tripped and fell at work, Lisa had been suffering from hip pain for three years.
She had been to three other physical therapists and felt no relief.
Her first therapist had been provided by workman's compensation and only saw her six times, giving her a list of exercises to perform. When Lisa reported that she wasn't seeing any positive changes and had even begun to notice an increase in pain, the therapist only sent her back to the workman's compensation doctor and discharged her! Her second therapist did a more thorough evaluation and suggested she get MRI imaging for her hip. The MRI came back positive for a labral tear on her hip socket, and the therapist told her that nothing could be done to help her but surgery.
Her workman's compensation case closed without resolving the issue.
Understandably, she was feeling extremely frustrated and depressed. She wasn't any better, and she felt like her only choice was surgery.
But she did not give up.
Several months later, she saw an orthopedic specialist who told her she was not actually a good candidate for surgery. He referred her to physical therapy again, where she saw a therapist who, just like her first therapist, saw her only six times and gave her a list of exercises to complete.
She reported, again, that she was actually in more pain than when she first started, but did not receive the support she needed. She chose to stop going to the therapist.
When she came to us at Physical Therapy of Boulder, it was understandably with great trepidation. She had wasted a lot of time and lost a lot of confidence.
What she wanted was to be truly heard so she could begin effective treatment.
We went through her history carefully, asking detailed questions about what her previous sessions had been like with all three therapists. We also established what she actually wanted to gain from therapy, including the activities that she had been unable to enjoy since her fall.
We showed her, using an anatomy application on an iPad, the structures of her hip that had been involved in her injury, and how the surrounding structures had become irritated over time. We also did a manual assessment of the areas that Lisa said were hurting her, putting hands on the area to assess swelling and muscular and skeletal function. The other therapists had tested her strength and range of motion, but had not actually taken a "hands on" approach, which helps our patients relax.
They know that we're right there with them, every step of the way.

The five monumental complexes named the "Imperial Forums" were constructed in topographic continuity with the old Roman Forums of the imperial-republican era. The new structures substituted the religious, political and administrative functions of the former.
In chronological order of inauguration the forums built were: the Forum of Caesar (46 BC), the Forum of Augustus (2 BC), The Temple of Peace or Templum Pacis (75 AD), Forum of Nerva or Forum Transitorium (97AD) and the Forum of Trajan (112 and 113 AD). During the opening of the later a restored Forum of Caesar was also inaugurated as was the complex of buildings today known as the Markets of Trajan. The forum complexes were built with the wealth accumulated during wars. They had a celebratory and auto-representative character for their clients, whose empire guaranteed peace in Rome.
To site them under the Palatine the urban landscape was modified and some pre-dating public structures (even sacred ones) were sacrificed. Significantly, the engraved inscription on the base of the Column of Trajan catalogues all that was dismantled for the construction of his forum. Each complex was designed in conceptual and physical relationship with the previous one and they were connected through openings on various sides.
From an urban-architectural point of view the forums are monumental arcaded squares shaped around centralised axis circuit points. In relation to the space employed and the constraints imposed by pre-existing structures, they were of different sizes and orientation. The far end was made more imposing by the construction of a temple, which was dedicated to the protective divinity of the commissioning emperor. The emperor's presence was repeatedly evoked through representations of him on horseback or on war wagons, inscriptions with his name and symbolic references in iconography and decorative motifs.
The juridical-administrative functions were performed in civil basilicas, while the cultural function was provided by libraries and galleries of statues. The architectural scheme, monumentalised by the huge dimensions employed and the rich decorative and sculptural apparatus made of precious coloured marbles, was a model to be exported and reproduced in Roman provinces.

A while ago I put together a "Beginner's Guide to Capulanas" for a few friends back home.
I never knew one piece of cloth could be quite so useful!
Loved reading this Kath. Thanks for sharing with us. Memories of my time in Jo'burg where I saw many local women carrying their babies, but I never learned all about them.
You look great in your family photo too.


I saw an article in our local paper extolling the virtues of private prostate cancer screening: "One simple test can save a dreadful death" and so on. The article was initiated by our local urology consultant. It only really gained my attention, being an NHS rather than a private GP, because just a few weeks beforehand the local hospitals had sent out a circular telling us not to refer patients to the urologists for prostate screening under the NHS because it was of no preventative value. The catch was that the consultant recommending the private service was also an NHS urologist.
So I wrote to him, suggesting that if screening was worthwhile for paying patients, it was for my NHS patients too, but if it wasn't of value to the latter (as per the guidance we'd been sent) then he ought not to be recommending it to the worried wealthy (a good number of whom were also my NHS registered patients).
Now, to be fair, it became clear that his praxis was not so much intended to make a fast buck, but because he actually disagreed with the local policy, and on the kind of grounds you'd expect from a simple surgeon with the venerable professional motto, "In Dubio Exsece" (If in doubt, cut it out). Prostate cancer kills 11,000 UK citizens a year. PSA blood tests are easy, prostate biopsies stock-in-trade, and early radical treatment by surgery or radiotherapy can more or guarantee eradication of early disease (actually it can't, but that wasn't known then).
Meanwhile, though, I'd been looking at the NHS screening authority website, and had fired off some e-mails questioning their far less enthusiastic embracing of screening. It was only after about the third reply to my rather belligerent enquiries that I realised the person replying was Professor Sir Muir Gray, then head of the UK NHS screening service. He taught me a thing or two about the epidemiology of prostate cancer, and of screening in general.
Now unless you're Sy Garte (whose portfolio includes epidemiology), it's likely that the situation regarding screening seems as simple to you as it did to my urology colleague. "Seek, and strike!" But it's an actually extremely complex issue, and there are in reality very few real situations in which screening is unequivocally a good thing. You need a disease whose outcomes are predictably bad, whose treatment is safe and effective, and whose early detection is also safe and virtually infallible. Things fall apart very quickly if any one of those falls short.
In prostate cancer as it was at the turn of the millennium, none of those were true. PSA blood tests are notoriously guilty of false positives and negatives. Prostate cancer is near-universal in elderly men and compatible with long life, and is only unpredictably aggressive. The radical treatment itself has radical side effects like permanent incontinence and inevitable impotence – and a significant mortality.
The net result is that screening may give false security; or raise awareness and anxiety years early about a disease that would have never caused problems, or which will kill you anyway; or treat what would have been a benign condition with treatment that maims or kills you.
And so it all led to an interesting evening discussion, and given the uncertain state of the science, a change of local policy to "discuss the issues with NHS patients seeking screening and refer them if you and they agree." That, in fact, was miserable advice as far as I was concerned, as it is not possible to teach lay people, who suspect you're trying to save money anyway, epidemiology in a 15 minute NHS consultation. One cancer screening request, and you're running an hour late (probably with a bad temper because he wouldn't be educated).
Now fifteen years later, despite data from some long-expected large trials, prostate screening is still controversial. And last week came this article, which doubts the validity of any existing cancer screening. This suggests that the epidemiological problems are still as intractable as ever, and not only about prostate screening. Mammography screening for breast cancer was finally introduced here in 1988, but I remember observing a conference at Westminster Hospital way back in 1976, in which the greatest experts in breast cancer tossed the pros and cons back and forth and, in general, considered it was not likely to be a great help. Spokespersons in the Indy article say it's saved many lives, the research articles says it's not that simple.
Now, as the Indy itself indicates, this one paper has many detractors, and may well be wrong in its conclusions about particular, or even all, existing screening porogrammes. Or it may be right. The point to me is that, many decades after such programmes were instituted across the world – involving probably billions of patients and huge budgets both for operation and research – it's still possible for leading scientists to argue from the data that it's been a waste of resources and may even have caused harm overall. And for others, equally eminent, to argue the opposite.
That, I found over a career in medicine, is the general truth about medical research: human beings and their ailments, in their natural setting – which is where we have to do medicine – are just so complicated that the scientific goal of reducing the issues to simple, "evidence-based" outcomes is doomed to result in diametric reversal of "best practice" every few years. Witness other big news stories like the dietary causes of cardiovascular disease, the safe limits for this and that social drug, and so on.
This is the case even in statistical fields like epidemiology (where it's legitimate to institute policies that benefit the greatest number despite widespread exceptions). It's much more so when one is dealing with individual human beings, every one of whom steadfastly refuses to behave as an average particle in some medical Newtonian Universe.
Now I'd be the first to say that evidence-based management is far better than voodoo-based management or guesswork. My point is rather one I've made a few times recently, which is that the kind of science done in medical trials is just one way, amongst others including the nous of long professional experience, of approaching useful truths. It is not the universal panacea for ignorance that too many influential people in my profession, and in government, believe for ideological reasons (scientism being, ultimately, the ideology).
Thomas Kuhn said more or less the same thing of science in general, and I guess he mostly had in mind fundamental sciences like physics and chemistry. How much more true it is for situations outside the tightly controlled simplicity of a laboratory.
So should you middle-aged men go for your prostate screening? Sure thing – once you've signed up for the course on epidemiology.
Hazards of screening #2 – Length time bias. Regular screening spots the prolonged benign cases, and misses the short nasty ones.
10 Responses to How hard can prevention be?
Patients sometimes finish my sentence for me when I start to say, "Most men die with prostate cancer but not of prostate cancer".
As to the article 'Cancer screening has never been shown to save lives', surely that depends on which cancer and which screening tool.
For example, I understand that screening for the CDH1 gene in relatives of people with gastric cancer may save the lives of those who are 'gene-positive' and elect for prophylactic gastrectomy.
Also, although I haven't seen recent outcomes for FOB screening for bowel cancer in the 60-74 yrs old (but the pilots looked promising) I'd be surprised if life expectancy wasn't improved.
Whatever happened to Wilson's criteria, which includes the criterion 'treatment should be more effective if started early'?
You're still practising, and I'm not, so I'm out of touch! Nice to know that public knowledge has begun to move on.
I think, though, the original article was referring to public screening programmes, rather than targeted at-risk groups, which it doesn't mention. If you can find the link to the original article (free!), it adds some useful detail, including something on FOB screening.
Certainly, however it came across in the news item, the main thrust was not that screening never prevents the disease screened, but that when studies include mortality from other causes, things look less good, and in some studies worse. One point made was that to do adequate work on this would cost billions, and so it's not often done, especially once screening is up and running routinely.
Such arguments might, in theory, even apply to targeted screening such as CDH1, if one takes into account what proportion of gene-positive people are destined to get gastric cancer, and the undoubted morbidity and mortality of gastrectomy, and associated stress. But I know nothing of the figures for that.
Preston – looks like one of your links got duplicated. Post a correction and I'll edit it and tidy up.
The spoof one jogs my fading memory into recalling that the first article I had published in the then-respected journal World Medicine, back in 1981, was a comparable spoof, only drawing on real sources. For the inquisitive, here.
As to the intended purpose of the paper, writing a report of a fictional clinical trial as satire allowed multiple limitations and pitfalls of clinical research to be addressed beyond simply the limits of RCTs. While those lessons should be quite evident to many clinicians and scientists, they are expected to be harder to discern by members of the public. Clearly, most readers of the abstract recognized the absurdity of applying a methodology (blinded, "sham" kissing) to a question that simply cannot be answered through that approach. Unfortunately, such misapplication of method to question happens not infrequently. The treatment of subjects that pushed ethical boundaries (causing boo-boos in toddlers) raises the limitations of institutional review boards to actually protect human subjects. Attempts to quantify (the Toddler Discomfort Index) what are inherently non-quantifiable phenomena are a major staple of clinical research, which generally assumes you cannot study what you cannot measure.
The corruptive influence of industry sponsorship (the SMACK study is funded by a manufacturer of self-adhesive bandages and ointments) on determining not only what gets studied but how the results are presented is a clear and present danger to society. When the world practices evidence-based medicine, he who controls the evidence wins (or at least gets rich). The failure of voluntary conflict of interest disclosure rules and the self-serving tendency of clinical researchers to always call for more clinical research are also highlighted. In addition, there are several other intended lessons in the piece.
I would hope that the article would be used by practitioners and trainees in journal club settings. By picking apart the obvious errors in the SMACK trial, participants would be primed to look for similar problems in reports of clinical research".
In a different context to mine he makes the same kind of "limitations of science" points that I do. It's actually quite an ideological war – there was enormous professional and financial pressure in my day to conform to "evidenced based" guidelines, even though in many cases one could see the kinds of bias and inappropriate quantification going on which he highlights.
Hypotheses generated from anecdotal evidence and professional experience then need to be tested rigorously, and reproducibly, using for example a randomized controlled trial.
It sounds rigorous and obvious, until you realise it's just saying "even the unquantifiable must be quantified".
Ah, that's better – I'll leave the thread as it is.
The latter sounds particularly problematic, in terms of validation, for mass screening. But even the former carries the same problems as existing screening: remove a bowel, or a breast, or whatever, on the basis of a proxy for disease, even if every kind of test on the removed organ proves negative.
Is it not a perpetuation of the myth of "the gene for X" that has plagued us for a couple of decades or more? (Where "X" = homosexuality, religion, intelligence etc.) The problem, then, might be less technical and more conceptual.
But doesn't everybody know that chicken soup is superior to placebo in the common cold???


It's Easter! Let's get MESSY with our favourite cheeky Bunny!
Easter is always one of our favourite times of the year here at Little Learners. Easter with all of its baby animals and chocolatey fun just lends itself so perfectly to Messy Play! In addition to our Southport Easter party, we thought we would celebrate in Formby and have a midweek event dedicated to one of our favourite little story book characters. We can't wait to get messy and have fun with you and your little ones in our Messy trays themed around Peter Rabbit and his adventures! We will also have giant Easter egg to roll around in and a giant squashed Creme Egg of course!
As well as the usual Messy Play trays to play in (and snack from!) we will have painting and drawing as well as an Easter and Spring card making area too.
Formby Methodist Church is a fab venue with free parking in the church car park. If you haven't been before then it is located on Elbow Lane, Formby opposite the Swimming Pool – the entrance is to the left of the church at the back. Please walk around the back of the church and through the maroon double doors. The hall is then to your left. Please do not arrive more than 5-10 minutes before the start of the class.
Feel free to dress up but remember that sometimes our washable paints can stain! Old clothes are perfect and don't forget your towel for bath time!

America's New Age Towns
Best New Age In The USA
This is our list of the best new age and spiritual towns that we've found through our research and travels through North America. The towns vary from metaphysical destinations to yoga meccas to hippy havens, but all have some sense of new age spirituality, as defined by us. We haven't been to all of the towns we list, and many that we have visited were part of our exploration rather than sources for research. The towns we have documented the most are listed at the top, with links to our pages. The towns still in need of more investigation are below. The (√) indicates that a representative of the site, currently me, has experienced the place in some significant way. Lastly, if you're looking for our ranking of the best metaphysical and new age towns, we aren't there yet, but it will come. The information provided, along with your own experience, will help you make that determination.
North County SD Beach
Encinitas (√)
The hippest of San Diego's north county beach towns, Encinitas is one of the fittest cities we know. Full of yoga and surfing, and Yogananda's Self Realization Fellowship as well.
Idyllwild (√)
A very small mountain town, population 3800, in Southern California. It is home to a disproportionately large number of artists, musicians and new age practitioners.
Laguna Beach (√)
We've been through, a few times, but we haven't written it up. We can attest that it is full of art and yoga and eclectic people. And it's got a nice little beach and basketball court. And the Tommy Bahama restaurant has (at least in 2018) a great happy hour.
Joshua Tree, California (√)
A high desert town with two stop lights, throngs of climbers wandering in and out, a few healthy eateries and good new age/artsy vibe. To us, it reminded us of Topanga, not because of the landscape, which is vastly different, but because of the vibe of the people.
A Forlorn Joshua Tree
North Park (San Diego) (√)
North Park is a hipster neighborhood in San Diego just north of Balboa Park. It's got grunge, tattoos, lots of yoga and some adorable little cottage homes for the family set. Of course, there's a little metaphysical thrown in for good measure.
Palm Springs, California (√)
Not a traditional new age town (we know, traditional new age is ironic), but on a quick walk through downtown Palm Springs we passed two psychics and a tarot reader. So we thought it worth a mention. Still an LGBT destination, there are also many coffee shops and outdoor restaurants and art galleries and a combined art gallery/coffee shop.
We've been through but once. However, it's categorization as a new age town in accepted fact in California.
Drum Circle Venice, Just as the Cops Show
Venice (√)
There really are canals in California's Venice, as well as lots of organic food and yoga and psychics and artists and just about anything else you're looking for.
Sedona (√)
Yes, yes. Sedona will be at the top of the list when the ranking is compiled. The way metaphysical pursuits pervade every facet of the town is extremely rare, but understandable. Not only is it home to a number of high energy vortexes, but one look at the red cliffs and awe is invoked. We've spent a goodly amount of time there and fully believe that Sedona is one of the prettiest places in the U.S. If you haven't been, go, for no other reason than the beauty.
Maui, Kauai, The Big Island. We know spiritual energy flows through all of the islands. They're volcanic for one. Heck, Kilauea is still spewing lava into the ocean. Kauai's got jungle folks and shamans and reiki. There's surfing all over the place and more ecosystems than you can shake a stick at. We're starting with two, Paia and Puna.
Puna, The Big Island (√)
Paia, Maui (√)
We'd say more about Hawaii, but it's as close to paradise as we've found.
Asheville (√)
The South doesn't have the same density of new age communities as the West, but Asheville is definitely on the list. It's pretty, wooded, and even though it's pushing 100,000 people it still has a quaintness to it. And the new age vibe is broad spectrum. There's lots of yoga, reiki, meditation and a number of spiritual retreat centers.
Not on our radar initially, but once we started our on-line digging into alternative spiritual towns, Salem, Massachusetts popped up frequently. The legacy of the witches remains and still influences the area. However, our research indicates that some modern metaphysics and yoga has entered the area.
Ashland, Oregon (√)
We've been there, and it's a cool town, but we didn't delve into the new age scene very much. The town does host a Shakespeare festival and live bands during the summer at a little amphitheater downtown.
Austin, Texas (√)
Austin is a little too big to qualify as a town, so we're going to attempt to narrow it down to a neighborhood or two. But as a former resident, we can confirm that the weird scene is alive and well, even with the influx of technology money. In the meantime, check out South Congress and East Sixth. And don't worry, the music scene is still thriving.
The home of Esalen, [LINK] a new age retreat center that's been around for more than fifty years and has spawned tell sites such as ESALeaks. [LINK] Conflict and new age converge — we've got to go investigate for ourselves.
Another town we've visited. That trip, however, was about NIST and seeing the atomic clock, which was super cool if you're into the theory of time. Beyond that, the town is definitely liberal. There are a lot of pot shops and college students and bars. It's also the center of Ken Wilber-based integral movement. And then there's the skiing.
Cassadaga, Florida
We know very little about the purported 'Psychic Capital of the World', but we're intrigued. The more we read about it, the more we HAVE TO GO. And Florida's not so bad in the winter.
Crestone, Colorado
Reputed to have a spiritual center on every corner. Or so we heard. But it's so small that there aren't many corners.
Thanks to a tip from Jane-Ann, we found another metaphysical town in Arkansas. It appears that the springs bring the vibe, and if the Thorncrown Chapel is an indication, it's home to some pretty cool architecture as well.
Floyd, Virginia
The rumor is that there are at least ten intentional communities in the area. That's pretty new age to us.
This springs town we discovered from our on-line search. We haven't been to Hot Springs, but we like to get ourselves into hot water, so there's a draw right there.
Lily Dale, New York
According to the Travel Channel, [LINK] of the 275 residents, 45 are certified psychics. And it's close to Cassadaga, NY, namesake and spiritual compadre to Cassadaga, Florida.
Mount Shasta, California (via hikemountshasta.com)
Manitou Springs (Colorado Springs), Colorado
Word is that there is a solid pagan contingent there. And we happened upon the Earth Spirit Pagans [LINK] which has some resources for Colorado Springs pagans.
Mount Shasta, California
Shasta is another little town we drove through but didn't dive into. There are a lot of stories about the mountain. We hear it's an energy vortex for the first chakra. There are, of course, Lemurians hanging around. And it's a volcano. Even dormant volcanos have strong energy. So we'll make our way back soon enough.
Ojai, California
The long time home of the enlightened guru J. Krishnamurti, it now boasts the highest number of mind-body spas per capita in America.
Port Townsend, Washington (√)
A small coastal town on a stretch of land jutting off of the Olympic Peninsula. It's isolated, a little funky, and has a nice new age vibe. And, as we understand it, the weather is better than on other parts of the peninsula due to some isolated weather patterns. The town itself had an Idyllwild vibe, with more ocean and less rock climbing.
Trendy, still hipster, and full of health food and esoteric yoga. Movie stars wander the streets, eat at local restaurants and wear yoga pants. And rumor is that there's a beach nearby. But maybe that's just rumor, because it doesn't feel beachy at all.
Savannah, Georgia
This just popped up on our radar, and we discovered it was the host city for the Pagan Pride day in August, 2016. We spent a couple of days there in 2014 walking the city and were pleasantly surprised. You can catch a chess game at The Gallery Expresso or a band at the Warehouse Bar down by the water. And we dare you to walk the historic district without bumping into a park. We dare you. As for new age happenings, coffee shop chess was as close as we got. But then, we were weren't looking.
Summertown, Tennessee
Tucker, in the comments below, has verified that there is a 1000 acre Farm with hippies and solar power and plots of land where food is grown. What's more new age than a vegetarian commune? And anyone is welcome, as long as you respect the residents. Here's the link to the Farm Community.
Taos, New Mexico
While Santa Fe has the art scene and expensive restaurants, Taos is more conducive to the hippy crowd. And of course, there are reports of aliens in the area, and earthships.
Topanga, California
Hidden away in a twisting valley northwest of Los Angeles, it's where famous people go to hide. We also know there's a good element of energy healing and mysticism in this valley, but our stay focused on coffee and Mexican food, and a hike of course.
Woodstock, New York
Ranked by Yoga Journal as one of the top 10 yoga towns in the country, Woodstock is home to both Krishna Das and the group SRI Kiran so if you're searching for devotional music, you'll find some. We're on our way — eventually.

Tindo The Healer says:
First, I am happy and grateful to be here. I am so thankful for this website and for the information you served me with. I am on the path in my journey where I am ready to begin my work. I have graduated from the school of life now its application time. I have lived in TX for 25 years and I am in Austin as we speak. I have been in Austin for a year now and some months. Austin is great for spiritual individuals and has a lot to offer besides technology. I have been in solitary pretty much all my life and now I am ready for the outdoor world. What will be a great place to move and live for at least 5-10yrs that will cater to my growth and provide me heaven like beauty. I love water very much and I am open to mountains now. I am closing the phase of my life and closing the chapter in TX. I appreciate all the feedback that I maybe given in assisting me to move to my new beginning. Thank you all!
Robert Chirpin says:
Do you know of communities that embrace a "New Age" mentality and are relatively free of excessive EMF radiation form cell towers?
I live near Cassadaga. It is only about 5 houses used as businesses plus a small community. If someone is super into psychics or working as one then it is good to visit. I couldn't imagine living within 20 minutes unless retirement age. The energy is overwhelming for me. Mount Dora near there might be a better fit.
What about Santa Cruz, CA and Laguna Beach, CA? Might want to add those to your list. . .and thanks for compiling this list.
Explorer of the New Age says:
We put them on the list page, and just so happen to be heading through Santa Cruz today. We'll take a closer look. Thanks.
Traci Refior says:
Nice List! Thank you for compiling this wealth of information.
I live in Colorado at the moment and it takes less than an hour to get to Crestone Colorado. There is a small gemstone shop that sells things from india. Nice small shop with incense and hippy clothing. There are a couple little coffee shops and art galleries and the best ever health food store around. There are around 150 year round residents and over a dozen spiritual centers. You would never know it has a dozen spiritual centers. They are scattered around out of sight. My favorite is the Crestone Drop off where you can bring your old clothes and household items to donate. It is FREE to pick up and drop off things.
Taos is south from me by 1 hour and 40 minutes. This is an amazing little town that hosts a plethora of camping, mountain scenery, Taos indian arts, crafts and pow-wows, there are many art galleries and coffee shops. They also have a great health food store.
I lived in Nashville and dated a guy that was born and lived on "The Farm". His mother knows Ina May Gaskin very well and boasts 6 children that she as a midwife helped birth! The farm is an amazing place. The "Farm Kids" are probably grown up now, since I was there, but they hold a few fun festivities, such as "Rag Weed Day" where the They serve up soy-cream instead of ice-cream. I recommend buying their vegan cook book.
My mom was a Montessori school director and she brought "Kids to the Country" where city children could enjoy the country life and the swimming hole! I wanted to live there at one point and have my babies there, but I chose another route.
There are so many opportunities, if you seek, you shall surely find! xoxo Traci Moon KeenTarot.com
Skip Clark says:
I happened upon this website because I met and was healed by an astonishing healer and visionary during my travels in the Far East. I would like to get this genius set up in the States in an environment that would enable her to share her gifts with as many people as possible. The methods she has channeled and developed over the last half century can be applied not only to healing chronic conditions, but also education, organic farming, water purification, soil enrichment, food preservation, and on and on. I'm not a wealthy man, but I'm willing to invest in this individual because I'm absolutely certain that if given the right setting she will help an immense number of people. Any information you come across would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
Without getting into any immigration issues, I will answer as if we were bringing someone in. Rather than pick a specific town, we would pick a region and work with retreat centers. Some hire temporary practitioners, and your healer could pursue that route. We would start in Maui, Sedona and California, since we are mostly west-coast based. If you were to explore outside of the U.S., this would allow for short term stints in multiple countries. If you are looking for one specific location, we suggest one that is either very large–such as Los Angeles, San Francisco or Austin–or one caters to spiritual tourists. The Big Sur area could work, as would Ashland, OR. A lot of this, unfortunately, will come down to marketing. We wish you the best. If we come across something more specific, we'll update this comment.
Misty Johnson says:
I appreciate the article for starters Thank You,
Question: What would you suggest for a seeker who say, loves cliffs water and mountains and sea food and fishing when I am hungry. I am 42 I am retired I have already done almost everything I have wanted to do so my actual goal is just to do what ever it is I feel like doing. Honestly, but that includes learning any and all practices being fully in the moment with out being required to use money to do it I had that life and it has its perks. To put it simply I like me better when I have the opportunity appreciate. Obviously keeping in the laws of the universe. So I want to be around a community but the interactions with them are when I choose. No expectations but standards. As well as let's say if I felt like just packing a bag and taking off no plans, full on magical journey self were would start? Oh wow I'm a Gypsy I just realized this about myself. Ok so were would you start if you were a Gypsy?

Heart of a Healer says:
Hello, Skip Clark. Please get in contact with me at csma131@gmail. I will share with you the contact information of a respected healer I know in the USA. He and his colleague also has a program that helps with developing & nurturing someone's gifts in the Healing Arts. I feel like getting in contact with him will lead you closer to what you are seeking.
Hi Skip,
I would be interested in chatting with you about this healer. I live in Phoenix, Arizona and am looking to move either to a different part of the same city or further north within Arizona. Sedona has an amazing energy and healers and people who offer many different modalities like myself often thrive more easily in places like Sedona. Contact me through Hope's Healing Path which is my business page on Facebook. This site wouldn't allow me to post anything else. Thank you 😊 Namaste,

Hi Skip, I'm likewise hoping to found or join or help a Spiritual Community with a Healing Center and am wondering if you would care to correspond about it. I'm being guided in this by Higher Levels, but no help has been forthcoming as of yet. Let me know if you want to dialogue. I'm a healer myself, which is all explained on my website: kuthumi-hands.com.
Who was the healer? and where is she from?
Tucker Tingle says:
I think you are trying to refer to Summertown, TN. And you will be happy to know it isn't a rumer. The community is known as "The Farm" a.k.a The Hippy Farm. I grew up about 15 min south. It is a cool little place anyone can visit, as long as you are mindful of the residents everyone is welcome.
We made the update a while ago, but were remiss in not thanking you for the information. We also appreciate corrections of suggestions.

Harmony Grove Spiritualist Association in Escondido, CA is still an active center for over 100 years…
Even after the fires!!
Sorry for the delay. We're exploring Hawaii. But we'll look into the Harmony Grove Spiritualist Association. Thanks for the heads up. And glad you survived the fires.

No more direct Woodford via Hainaults

The new Central Line WTT, effective 26 Jan, has this proviso on page 4:
"A Hainault-Woodford shuttle service (formed of 4 cars of 1992 stock) has been introduced replacing through trains to/from Woodford via Hainault. This service will reverse via platform 1 at Hainault with most London-bound trains departing from platforms 2 and 3."
This is quite sad, as it now means that this has become even more of a pain in the arse, and you will always have to change at either Woodford or Hainault now.

More info on the changes, we only have to wait until 2023 for the full service to be reinstated:
Dear ----,
We contacted you in November to advise of changes to Central line services from Sunday 26 January 2020. Whilst the changes to the service will provide benefits to many of you, we do recognise that there will be a service reduction for some customers, particularly for those of you using the eastern part of the Central line.
We are sorry for the impact on your journeys but this work is necessary in order to provide some much needed benefits to the Central line as a whole.
Following the completion of these works and the restoration of the full Central line fleet in 2023, we expect to be able to deliver improvements for Central line customers as part of a new timetable.
We're investing about £380 million to improve the Central line. The benefits of these works include:
Replacements for old motors - meaning fewer broken down trains and a more reliable service
More space for wheelchair users and improved audio and visual passenger information - improving on-board accessibility
Added CCTV for a safer journey
Unfortunately, this work can't be done during overnight engineering hours so some trains will be taken out of service. Morning and evening peak services will be reduced at Debden, Theydon Bois and Epping stations from the 11 peak hour trains that we currently run from Debden, to nine trains an hour (and ten down to eight at Epping). There will be enough capacity for all customers to board the trains at these stations.
Woodford and Hainault Train service
We will introduce a shuttle service between Woodford and Hainault. Over the next couple of months this will start to be operated by four-car trains. When there are four-car trains, all customers will have sufficient room to board. The service will still run three trains per hour. Currently each week day morning there are three trains which run from Grange Hill via Woodford through to central London, and these will continue as eight car trains under the new timetable.
Central London services
The new timetable also allows us to make improvements on the busiest section of the line through central London, between Leytonstone and White City. There will be improvements over this section, with more services running on Monday to Friday early mornings, Monday to Saturday late evenings, and Sunday early evening.
You can use Journey Planner to check the first and last train times for your station or visit the Timetables webpage.

I think ur find the more pain will be at epping
by Lunaticonthegrass
Was it like this historically though? Looking at old tube maps, before the mid-1990s the layout seems to indicate that went to Hainault via Newbury Park, Hainault via Woodford, or Epping. OK, so that's not a shuttle service but it does invlve always having to change at Hainault.
I don't think it will make masses of diference anyway. And we may find that the shuttle trains are timetabled to allow for smooth connections at Hainault. (As happens with the MHE branch at Finchley Central... in theory at least!)
As an interesting point, on the one FNC I did I had a half-hour wait at Woodford for a Hainault train. I'm guessing that the train we would have got was severely delayed and so terminated early. If there was a shuttle service in place we would have left Woodford after only 10 minutes. (Although arguably we would have then been stranded at Hainault.)

If I understand this right in order to get to Roding Valley now you must change trains onto a shuttle service from Hainault
by trains 500
Are 4 carriage units running this yet??
by ANDY_JS
On some of the journeys I've checked from Hainault to Woodford the fact that it isn't a direct service isn't making any difference to the time you'd arrive at Woodford, which is a good thing I suppose. You just have to wait for a few minutes at Hainault. I don't know whether you have to get off one train and get on another one at Hainault, or whether it's still the same train.

The Woodford- Hainault shuttle is just that, two trains just going back and forth between Woodford and Hainault most of the day. You need to physically change trains at Hainault to continue the journey. The shuttle trains usually use platform 1 and the London trains platforms 2/3 (nearest the depot) so requires changing platforms via the underpass.
by RJSRdg
The trouble is, it's not (as far as I know) a guaranteed connection - so if the train from London to Hainault is late, you could have quite a long wait at Hainault.
the central line timeable changes leaflet does NOT mention a guaranteed connection at hainault
by Steeevooo
Why would it be a guaranteed connection though? They are two, distinct timetabled services. Hold the shuttle departing Hainault to wait for an incoming service could result in platforming and turnaround issues at Woodford, which in turn could impact Epping line through services, and before you know it you've created a problem.
if the shuttle is on a 20min freq then their would not be a guaranteed conection as their is more than one train every 20 mins from central london which goes to hainault
