|Dr. Alan B. Copperman, Co-Director of RMA of New York, explains the importance of screening donated eggs in order to select the single-best embryo for implantation. When using donor eggs, although multiple embryos may be available, only one single-best embryo is transferred in order to reduce chances for multiples or miscarriage. Donor eggs are harvested, fertilized and then screened for chromosomal abnormalities in order to identify those that are healthiest and have the best chances for success.
|Dr. Alan B. Copperman, Co-Director of RMA of New York, discusses how the definition of success in reproductive medicine has shifted from measuring the number of couples achieving pregnancy, to the amount of healthy embryos a couple produces. Advancements in reproductive technology have enabled our team to not only facilitate conception for our patients but also successfully identify chromosomally healthy embryos in order to sustain healthy, ongoing pregnancies.
|Dr. Alan B. Copperman, Co-Director of RMA of New York, explains how Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) enables patients to choose the gender of their offspring. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) following in vitro fertilization and embryo biopsy provides information about the chromosomal makeup of each embryo including whether it will result in a male or female child, and allows the embryo of choice to be implanted into the uterus.
|Dr. Alan B. Copperman, Co-Director of RMA of New York, discusses the process of of egg freezing and embryo freezing and why vitrification is now the preferred technique. Vitrification replaced the slow-freezing technology formerly utilized and results in high rates of egg and embryo survival and pregnancy following freezing and thawing.
|Dr. Benjamin Sandler, Co-Director of RMA of New York, explains how international patients can best prepare for their USA IVF treatment. International patients should expect to be in town for treatment from 7-10 days typically, and RMA of New York provides a wide variety of offerings to complement their treatment while away from home.
|Dr. Eric Flisser, Director of RMA of New York – Long Island, notes the variables to consider in determining whether it is best to proceed straight to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or begin with intrauterine insemination (IUI). There are a variety of strategies from low-tech (IUI) to high tech (IVF) that can help optimize the chance of achieving a healthy pregnancy.
|Dr. Jeffrey Klein, Director of RMA of New York – Westchester, explains the process of egg donation and the choice between using fresh and frozen donor eggs. For decades, fresh donor eggs has enabled couples to conceive healthy babies. More recently, donor egg banks have created an alternative option to provide access to frozen donor eggs.
|Dr. Lawrence Grunfeld, Co-Director of RMA of New York, discusses the process of fertility preservation, egg/embryo freezing, within the LGBT community. RMA of New York is acknowledged for being a leader in providing healthcare to members of the LGBT community, and cares for each individual on a personalized basis.
|Dr. Tanmoy Mukherjee, Co-Director of RMA of New York, describes fertility medications and treatment options. He includes an anlysis of side-effects and health risks and benefits.
Dr. Rashmi Kudesia, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist, RMA of New York – Brooklyn, expresses understanding the challenges that can accompany unexplained infertility and associated unsuccessful treatment cycles. At RMA of New York, our physicians and team members provide patients with the information and tools to understand their diagnosis, and make informed choices throughout their reproductive journey.
Dr. Daniel E. Stein, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist, RMA of New York – Westside, shares the determining factors that contribute to the number of cycles a patient may require to achieve reproductive success. A patient's age, their medical and family history, and their prior results with IVF/infertility treatment may be considered in their physician's estimation on when a successful pregnancy may occur.
Dr. Matthew Lederman, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist, RMA of New York – Westside, explains the implantation success reflective of utilizing fresh embryos versus frozen embryos for uterine transfer in in vitro fertilization. In consideration of supplemental treatments offered in the process of selecting healthy embryos, one option may be preferred over the other.
Dr. Beth McAvey, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist, RMA of New York – Westside, discusses the patient monitoring process in preparation for an in vitro fertilization cycle. The goal of focus is to stimulate the patient's ovaries and prepare them for the oocyte retrieval procedure so that eggs are mature and ready to be harvested.

Friday at a rally in Fort Worth, TX, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump explained how he was going to take on the "dishonest media" if elected president.
Trump vowed to use libel laws and sue them "like you never got sued before."
Trump said, "I tell you what, I think the media is among the most dishonest groups of people I've ever met. The New York Times, which is is losing a fortune, which is not going to be around much longer, although someone will probably buy it, I think it's the worst media I've ever seen in my entire life. The worst. They have the worst agenda. You would not believe. And they're totally incompetent. I have respect for Jeff Bezos. He bought The Washington Post to have political influence — we have a different country than we used to have. We have a different –he owns Amazon. He wants political influence so that Amazon will benefit from it. That's not right. and believe me, if I become president, oh, do they have problems. They're going to have such problems."
"And one of the things I'm going to do, and this is only going to make it tougher for me — and I've never said this before, but one of the things I'm going to do if I win, and I hope I do, and we're certainly getting there, I'm going to open up the libel laws so when they write horrible and negative and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money," he continued. "We're going to open up those libel laws, so that when The New York Times writes a hit piece which is a total disgrace, or when The Washington Post, which is there for other reasons, writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance of winning because they're totally protected. You see? With me they're not protected, because I'm not like other people, but I'm not taking money. I'm not taking their money. So we can put up those libel laws and we'll have people sue you like you never got sued before."

Cocktails At Eight Reviews:
"When I happened across 'Cocktails at Eight' by Lisa Hilton, my ears did a total double-take. I was immediately captivated by the music, and Lisa had me grooving to her arrangements of both 'Take Five' and Echoes of Harlem'. As to her original compositions, 'Seduction' and 'Waterfall' are my favorites, solo piano works that are as poetic as they are infecting. Cocktails at Eight? Why stop there, I could listen to this CD all night."

JG's Ten Unforgettable Jobbers
By James Guttman Jan 17, 2012 - 8:30 AM
Before we get to the list, I want to make two things clear. First, these guys are being listed for their lack of success in the stated companies. That doesn't mean they didn't achieve success elsewhere. Heck, in order to make it to WWF TV (even as an "enhancement talent"), you need talent. Second, this list isn't for jobbers-who-got-a-break. No Barry Horowitz or Brooklyn Brawler here. Just tried and true, introduced while their opponent's music is playing, jobbers. They beat them. They pinned them. We'll never forget them…
Ricky Ataki was the only Asian in WWF during the 1980s who couldn't kick your ass with kung fu. No karate. No kickboxing. No MMA. Nothing.
But that was fine because Ricky Ataki didn't come to scrap up. He just came to show up. When he did find himself fighting, he just lost. Pin me. Pay me. See you next Saturday. No big whoop.
My favorite thing about Ricky was that he had this weird pose he did when they'd announce his name. Just like you see above, he'd point to the upperdeck and make a blowfish face. That was his pose gimmick. I think he called it the,
"Hey! You up there! You're a f**kin' blowfish!"
Here's the best part about it all though - that was his good guy pose. He only did it when he fought heels. When he fought babyfaces, he just raised his arms in the air and spun. So at some point, somewhere, Ricky Ataki sat down and said, "I have to think of something new to do when fighting the heroes. If I do the upperdeck-blowfish -face, everyone will be cheering for me instead of my opponent! I can't steal his thunder."
Yes, brother. Blowfishmania was runnin' wild.
The only real memorable moment I have of Ataki was following a One Man Gang match. Gang destroyed him and when the referee tried to step in, Gang attacked him too. He hit both guys with "747" finisher. I remember wondering if it hurt the ref less and if he would win if he were to fight Ricky Ataki too.
He probably would have.
Zan Panzer
I'm about to ruin Christmas for everyone but here goes. Zan Panzer was Brad Anderson. That's the mystery.
What? You don't know who Brad Anderson is either? Oh good. I didn't kill the magic. He was Gene Anderson's son. Now before you get your panzers in a bunch, I'm not about to rip on Brad Anderson. This gimmick could have been played by Scooby Doo and it wouldn't matter. The real insanity was the Zan Panzer character itself.
To this day, I have no bloody clue what anyone was thinking with this. I guess someone wanted to think of a wrestling name that came as close to "pansy" as possible without actually being "pansy". Hence - Zan Panzer.
Oh and to add insult to insult, they dressed him up in all pink. Panzer in pink.
His first name was "Zan". Although the name is pretty damn uncommon, WCW made sure to have Van Vader and Van Hammer on the roster. That's great. WWE makes everyone change their first name if someone on the roster has the same one. WCW used to think up new ones that sound like the others.
Oh…and get this one. You want to know where he's from? Guess. Go on. Guess.
Netherlands Antilles? Nope.
Grenoble in the French Alps? Nope.
Truth or Consequences, New Mexico? Again, nope. Ready?
That's it.
Just Europe.
Where in Europe, you ask? You know. Up and down and all around. No set location. Most likely Central Downtown Europe. Europe City or Europeville or something. That's not important. The important thing is that he's pink and a Panzer. After that, nothing else matters anyway.
Omar Atlas
I always loved the name Omar Atlas. It made me think of an actual atlas. In grade school, when one of my teachers brought up a geographical "atlas", my mind immediately was flooded with Howard Finkel's voice screaming, "Omar ATLAS!"
Looking like a cross between Angelo Mosca and Dean Malenko, Atlas didn't have a win/loss record anywhere close to those two. He was a routine punching bag on WWF TV for years and despite his successful past in other companies, the Venezuelan star never came close to any success in WWF.
Oh, and if you're wondering, yes. That red shirt he wore to the ring had "OMAR" written on the chest in small yellow letters. It served two purposes. One, it confused people who thought it was a "USSR" shirt like Nikolai Volkoff would wear. Second, if someone tried to swipe it, he had proof it was his.
Needless to say, Omar "Don't Call Me a Geographical" Atlas beat almost no one. I say "almost", because everyone gets a surprise moment here and there like when a match like this happens…
Which brings us to…
Dusty Wolfe
Dusty Wolfe was king of the jobbers. Plain and simple. Hell, you just saw him lose to Omar Atlas!
If you get a hold of anyone who watched WWF TV in the 1980s, chances are they'll name Dusty when asked who their favorite job guy was.
Wait. I take that back. They might also name "Dale Wolfe."
Who's Dale, you ask? Is he Dusty's evil brother? His wife? Son?
Nope. It's him.
New name, same record. Even a pointless name change won't stop Wolfey D from his diligent losing duty. No matter who WWF put in front of him, Dusty Dale would raise his arms, shake his mullet, and go forth into a sure-fire butt kicking. And, on the rare occasion he'd get tired of jobbing to WWF stars, he went to WCW so he could lose to their guys too.
As of a few years ago, Dusty had been wrestling here and there as "Doink The Clown". When I heard about it, I was disappointed that he didn't choose to go by the name "Doinky Wolfe". But life is about disappointment.
I learned that from Dusty Dale Wolfe every single Saturday morning.
Iron Mike Sharpe
I hesitated to put Iron Mike Sharpe on here. After all, the guy was a long time star and before he was jobbing in WWF, he was known as a pretty accomplished wrestler.
But ask anyone who watched WWF in the 1980s and you'll be sure to hear about how he was the screaming man who lost a lot. Beloved by fans the world over, Mike Sharpe was one of the only people I've ever seen who would be cheered at introductions despite being a "bad guy" and never winning.
It was the scream that did it. Actually, I take that back. Mike didn't screach like Norman Smiley as his opponents battered him. It was more of a bellow. A
NONONONONNONO!" It sounded as if he was about to break into a rendition of "Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum" from Treasure Island.
As I mentioned, Sharpe had accomplished many things early in his WWF career and even earned a World Title match at one point. It's this early success that allowed "Canada's Greatest Athlete" a.k.a. "Iron" Mike to be one of the only jobbers in WWF history with not only one nickname - but two. Interviews like this one show the personality that made Mike memorable no matter what side of the W/L column his name was on…
To this day, there's a special place in my wrestling memories for Mike. He was one of the first wrestlers I ever interviewed as a teenager in the early 90s. He had tons of stories and did so much to help train new talent out of his school in Brick, New Jersey. But, above all else, he proved that jobbers could have personality. It's a personality people have never forgotten and helped make mundane squash matches more exciting.
But, as I mentioned, he wasn't always getting squashed. Take this match, for example…
And in the interest of maintaining a steady flow…
The Italian Stallion
Have you ever seen the movie Rocky? You have. Good. Know who else has? Every single person on the planet.
It's what people think of when they hear "The Italian Stallion." It's synonymous with Rocky. To give you an idea of what I mean, let's say Rocky Balboa was a pro wrestler who worked for WWE and Vince McMahon owns the name "Rocky Balboa". When Rocky Balboa gets fired from WWE and TNA hires him - TNA would call him "The Italian Stallion".
Know who else may have seen the movie "Rocky Balboa"? Gary Sabaugh. He was on the planet when it came out, right? But when Gary saw it, he thought, "You know, this movie would be better if the Italian Stallion was always getting beat senseless."
So that's what he set out to do. And, yo Adrian, he did it.
You know how they say so-and-so is the glue that holds this company together? Well, the Stallion was the glue of WCW. What else would you make out of the Stallion that never wins?
Mario Mancini
Growing up, I could never imagine Mario Mancini making it in WWF. I mean, with a guy like Dusty Wolfe or Omar Atlas, you could imagine a fluke win here and there. But someone named "Mario Mancini" seemed to have no possibility of getting his own T-shirt.
For starters, the guy was named "Mario" and had a giant moustache. Despite it being the 1980s, no one thought to put him in overalls and a plumber cap. It always seemed like he was a distant homage to the Super Mario Brothers, but there was never anything that verified it. You just thought it.
Even without wins, you can still make history. Mario's losing resume is one of the most impressive out of everyone on this list. His high profile losses are all over Youtube and some of WWF's most historic moments in squash history involved him. He was one of the two men to face Demolition on TV before Randy "Smash" Culley had been replaced by Barry Darsow…
Then, unfazed by this beating, he came back and faced them again in the first match with Darsow as Smash…
He also was the first opponent who "Cain The Undertaker" faced on TV…
Also, the first opponent to face the debuting WWF team of "The Hart Foundation"…
Say what you want about Mario, but he picked some high profile matches to lose in. I guess if you're going to get beaten, you might as well do it in style. You know the old saying, lose big or go home….or something like that.
Perennial 80s enhancement talent Barry-O is the real life uncle of Randy Orton. Although, it would make more sense if he was the uncle of Jackass's Steve-O because they both have the same last name and enjoy getting their asses tossed around like a pack of donkeys in a popcorn maker.
For some reason, Barry Orton was saddled with the last name "O" in the WWF - to remind you of that, he used his arms to mimic the shape of the letter. He was like an illiterate guy doing the YMCA dance all by himself each week.
However, despite his many losses, Barry's fame came from being the jobber most WWF management wanted to have homosexual sex with. Here, he'll tell you…
How horrible! These unwanted sexual advances were obviously made to the wrong guy. I mean, the last man you'd expect to be into other dudes is the guy in the long satin cape hailing from "The Fabulous Las Vegas".
Barry's days with WWF were all but over by the time he made the claims and the "O" motion was free for Perry Saturn to steal years later. It's a shame too. Had his career continued on, who knows what other matches Barry could have lost or what other letters we could have seen him make with his arms.
"Jumpin'" Joey Maggs
Like Iron Mike, I wasn't sure if I should include Joey Maggs on this list. WCW had a weird relationship with its jobbers that left fans confused about where they rested on the card.
In WWF, prelim guys were never given special moments unless they were used as glorified seat fillers in house show battle royals. In the early 90s, WWF had a 40 man battle royal and most of the wrestlers in it looked like people they found in the Home Depot parking lot.
WCW, on the other hand, liked to have gigantic tournaments that lasted for years at a time. So Joey, like The Italian Stallion and others, found himself listed in the results section of these events usually followed by the phrase "lost in the first round to".
Joey Magliano passed away suddenly in 2006. Following his passing, fans across the Internet showed respect for his career and what he had done. Aside from his non-WCW successes, Maggs amassed fans who remembered him simply from his WCW Saturday Night losses. He proved that you don't have to win every night - or
any night for that matter - in order to make a lasting impression.
The Gambler
Perhaps my favorite jobber of all was The Gambler. Out of every single person listed here, he had the most identifiable and unique gimmick. He was a - wait for it - gambler.
We never got an idea of how good of a gambler he was. We never saw him play cards, roulette, or dice. All I ever saw him do was fan out his cards and show the camera. Every once in a while, he'd follow up by throwing them. That doesn't make him a gambler, though. It makes him a litterer.
I mean, a four year old can do that. What was he gambling with? He obviously wasn't making a lot of money from his gambling venture considering that he still had to take work getting beat up for a living. Perhaps he was gambling with his life by taking the job to begin with. It was a mystery.
But at the end of the day, you remembered him. In fact, that was one thing WCW always had WWF beat on. Vince McMahon never cared much about his jobbers. Maybe they'd have a nickname here and there, but that was it. WCW really put thought into it. They came up with gimmicks and hometowns and pink masks and giant playing cards. I tell ya. If WCW knew nothing else at all about pro wrestling, it was how to get over their jobbers.
And suddenly - everything makes sense.

|Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi, Deputy President William Ruto and radio journalist Joshua Sang in The Hague, Netherlands, Thursday. [Photo: DPPS]
By Wahome Thuku and Felix Olick
Nairobi, Kenya: The case against Deputy President William Ruto at the International Criminal Court (ICC) could be dealt a big blow after the prosecution applied to withdraw a crucial witness from testifying.
The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) wants the case against Ruto and his co-accused radio journalist Joshua Sang adjourned to June to enable them put their house in order.
Prosecution Counsel Anton Steynberg made the application before the Trial Chamber V (a) Thursday to withdraw witness number 25, who was scheduled to testify starting today.
Surprisingly, the prosecution lawyer admitted that during the witness's preparation, it became clear that the witness was unable witness's preparation, it became clear that the witness was unable to "accurately recall, or give a coherent and consistent account of critical parts of the evidence the Prosecution had intended to lead from the witness."
"In the circumstances, the prosecution does not consider that the witness's evidence is sufficiently relevant or reliable to call as a prosecution witness, particularly bearing in mind the limited court time available to the prosecution and the consequent need to present the most cogent and reliable evidence," he told the bench.

Interestingly, Ruto's defence team opposed the application putting a condition that they first be given crucial evidence, including a video of the witness preparation exercise recorded on Wednesday.
And as the Chamber decides on the withdrawal application today, it will also rule on whether or not Ruto, who is already in The Hague, should be allowed to return to the country just in case there are more proceedings.
Confirm charges
Witness 25 is so crucial to the prosecution that pulling him out of the list could be detrimental to the case.
This is one of the witnesses whose evidence was relied on to confirm the charges against Ruto and Sang by the Pre-Trial Chamber in 2012.
His evidence was used 25 times during the pre-trial hearing and about 17 times when the prosecution briefed the court on the need to commence the case. He is the witness who, as the link-person for the prosecution, also procured about five other witnesses.
Some of the witnesses he linked to the prosecution later pulled out, and the Government was ordered by the court to trace them and compel them to go and testify, either from Kenya or any other place.
Soon after the prosecution had applied to withdraw the witness, Ruto's defence lawyer Karim Khan objected and requested that the prosecution first disclose to them all the notes and video clips recorded during a session on Wednesday when the witness was being prepared by to testify.
Further, Khan asked for a disclosure of all the expenses and benefits incurred by the prosecution on the witness since October 2013.
The lawyer also asked for disclosure of all the oral and written conversations between the OTP and the Victims and Witnesses Unit (VWU) regarding witness number 25.
He asked that the withdrawal request not be granted until they had reviewed the video and determined if they needed the witness.
However, the prosecution indicated that it has no objection if the defence wishes to consult with the witness with a view to calling him during their case. By reviewing the video, the Ruto defence hopes to establish whether or not the witness, who was already on the court's premises, had expressed willingness to testify.
Sang's lawyers did not oppose the application to withdraw the witness, but insisted that he should never be called in future.
However, the lawyers representing the victims Wilfred Nderitu supported the application for withdrawal.
Steynberg said the witness would never be called once taken out of the list.
Vanished in supermarket
He said the OTP had already disclosed all the expenses and benefits made to the witness, and there was nothing more to disclose, adding that there was no other conversation that had taken place between the office and the VWU
Mr Steynberg said they were ready to disclose the video to the Chamber but not to the defence, adding however that they could disclose the notes.
In their ruling the judges observed that part of Ruto's request had already been disclosed and they were only to decide on whether the video should be disclosed. The judges also noted that the evidence of witness 25 had been heavily relied on during the confirmation of the charges against Ruto and Sang.
The Chamber ordered that the proceedings resume today when the Ruto defence will address the court on their decision after reviewing the video. The judges also ordered that the witness remains at The Hague.
When applying for Ruto to be excused from attending proceedings today, Khan said the DP had organised his national diary and, under the circumstances, there was nothing much he was doing at The Hague. Ruto is required to attend the proceeding of the first five days of every new session. He travelled to The Hague on Tuesday. The court declined to excuse him immediately, but ruled it would decide today.
The new development comes amid speculation that one of the 17 witnesses had also frustrated the prosecution and declined to travel to The Hague once at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Her testimony was heard entirely in camera. Another witness is also said to have vanished in a supermarket in Eldoret while en route to the ICC.

Excellent. Must try.
This works way better than another, dermatologist-given brand that is far more expensive! I could instantly feel a difference after just the first application!
With a pleasant smell and a clean finish, look no further than this serum. It will do wonders for dry skin. Every day under my natural makeup, it provides the moisture I need to get on with my day feeling amazing.
Knoxville, TN
I found this serum in the Love of Mother Earth shop in Taiwan.
My skin is extremely dry but also cannot absorb the hydrating lotion very well, even I tried lots expensive preparation serums, still just left oil on my face. Until I tried it few days ago, my skin is no longer feel dry, and it helps to absorb lotion easily and not feeling oily after using in humidity weather as Taiwan. This is really lovely, I love it and will recommend it to others
Sometimes I'll try Ultra H. when the weather is dry, and am reminded that this just doesn't work on me. Serious Firming is my serum of choice because of its smooth finish. Ultra H is plumping and effective, just a bit heavy. I like it better for night time use, but would recommend adding a moisturizing cream to maximize benefits.

I used the Pumpkin Renew Cream for 7 years but then the formula changed and it started giving me cysts (acai and soy derived ingredients do this to me). I used plain coconut oil for a while and my skin got really bad (it is really hard to find products without soy derived ingredients). Then I found this wonderful product and my skin feels and looks SO much better. I've actually had people comment that it is looking really good. Now I can't imagine going without it! Please don't ever change the formula!
Glenwood Springs, CO
I live in Colorado, where the winters whip away at my delicate skin and leave it irritated, flaky and itchy. Sometimes, it gets so dry it actually flakes off in pieces! Forget being able to wear makeup! But with this product, I've found a "new skin." Along with the Tropical Skin Smoother and Deep Repair Cream, my skin is soft, radiant and flake-free. This serum gives a boost to my skin that I would not get from moisturizing alone - it also smooths out fine lines and gives me a silky complexion and velvety base for applying makeup. I can also apply over makeup to spots that are extra-dry, and dab it on throughout the day to trouble spots. I've tried other serums, but this one is the best!
Colorado Springs, CO
I cannot believe how amazing this serum is! I have been using it along with other serums and they all are great- but this makes my skin so soft and smooth and I have super dry skin and it doesn't clog my pores either! I am so in love with mychelle products!

I tried the pumkin cleanser & Hyalronate serum... I purchased them at Lma Linda market.. Somewhat costly but I love it.. I an addict my skin looks yummy and youthful... Yes I said Yummy I looks velvety.. Thanks to you all at Mychelle!!!

I absolutely love this product - it is amazing for dry skin. I used it after skiing and I've never had my face look so smooth with no peeling. I apply it every night before my moisturizer and I can literally feel how soft it makes my skin!

IHTM: I Tried a Skincare Product That Jacked Up My Skin Barrier So Here's How I Handled It
I basically called my mom for help. Except when I say mom, I mean an esthetician.
When I shaved my head a couple weeks ago, I knew I'd have to take sun protection even more seriously than I already do. My scalp is much more exposed to the sun now, so it's important to make sure it's covered — usually with sunscreen or a hat, and sometimes both.
Of course, it's not always fun trying to rub liquid sunscreen on one's head, even if it is mostly shaved. My hair is already growing back at a fast rate, and I don't love getting sunscreen all over it. That's why I was very happy that I took this powder sunscreen the last time I raided the beauty closet at the office.
This is Colorescience Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen Brush SPF 30. It's a tinted powder sunscreen that contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. It comes in four shades, from fair to deep; I have it in the medium shade (which is apparently also available in shimmer, just throwing that out there). It also comes in a slightly pricier version with SPF 50 in case you'd like extra protection. According to their website, the .21 ounces last for about 90 days "with typical use" — whatever that means.
There's two things that I really like about this sunscreen: one is that it makes it really easy to get some SPF on my scalp, and the other thing is that I love the way it makes my face look. That was a totally unexpected bonus, but after using it on my face a couple times, I couldn't deny that it was having an amazing effect.
I never use bronzer because it never looks right on my pale skin. With this powder, however, the medium shade gives my skin just enough color to look like I've been out in the sun without making me look orange. It's a very sheer tint, so it's difficult to overdo it, which is good because if you're going to overdo the application of anything, it ought to be sunscreen.
I brush a generous amount all over my face in a circular motion and wind up with a very subtle, sun-kissed glow.
My other concern with powders is that they don't always play well with my dry skin. Often my skin ends up looking cakey, but that's not the case with this powder. It gives a really nice finish to my skin by soaking up excess oil and minimizing pores without drying out my skin.
After using this powder, my skin has a bronzed glow while still looking like my skin. It's become my go-to product for an easy no-makeup makeup look this summer. Oh yeah, and my original intention for it is working out pretty great too: no more sunscreen goop in my hair.
Since I have no idea how much protection powder sunscreen actually gives, I layer it on top of PCA Skin Sheer Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 45 and also add a hat to protect my scalp, just to be safe. Then I throw this powder in my bag and bring it with me everywhere I go, since it's the best for quick and easy sunscreen touch-ups (especially when you're wearing makeup).

Dr. Avery is here to stay.
Jesse Williams, the actor who plays Dr. Jackson Avery on "Grey's Anatomy," gave a speech about race and criticized police in America at the BET Awards on June 26, and it apparently offended some people.
Those who were offended by the so-called "racist rant" have created a petition calling for the actor's dismissal from the show, and so far, it has more than 16,000 signatures.
"Jesse Williams spewed a racist, hate speech against law enforcement and white people at the BET awards. If this was a white person making the same speech about an African American, they would have been fired and globally chastised, as they should be, but there has been no consequences to Williams' actions," the petition reads.
>> BET Awards: Jesse Williams delivers impassioned speech on race in America
In a defiant twist, another petition was filed that supports Williams and calls him, "a brave leader." That petition currently has more than 25,000 signatures.
"Jesse Williams is a bright man, passionate spokesman and a committed advocate of black people and #BlackLivesMatter who took a public stand on BET Awards show, risking his job and career for his beliefs," the supportive petition explains.
"Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes also had something to say about the petition calling for Williams to be fired.
On Monday, she took to Twitter to express her feelings, writing, "um, people? Boo don't need a petition. #shondalandrules."
Mic drop.
Fans of Shondaland applauded "the boss" and showed their appreciation on social media.

Senay helps NC State rout William & Mary 9-2, win Raleigh regional
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Tarran Senay homered and drove in five runs, and North Carolina State earned a spot in the NCAA super regionals by routing William & Mary 9-2 on Sunday night.
Senay, chosen as the Raleigh regional's most outstanding player, hit a three-run homer in the first inning and a two-run single in the eighth.
Senay also had five RBIs in a decisive regional game last year against Vanderbilt.
The top-seeded Wolfpack (47-14) beat the third-seeded Tribe (39-24) for the second straight night and went 3-0 in the regional. Last year, NC State had to climb through the losers' bracket after losing its second game.
''I'm not going to say it was easy because every team was good and this regional was tough,'' Senay said. ''But winning three straight was definitely a lot easier (path) than last year.''
Jake Fincher and Logan Ratledge both had three hits and an RBI to help NC State reach the super regionals for the third time since 2008. The Wolfpack will face the winner of the regional hosted by Oregon.
The Tribe's Jackson Shaver hit an RBI double in the seventh to snap the NC State pitching staff's string of 22.2 consecutive scoreless innings -- which began in the second inning of Friday night's 4-1 win against Binghamton.
Matt Wainman (4-4) allowed six runs and 10 hits in 5 1-3 innings for William & Mary. The Wolfpack wasted no time pouncing on him.
Trea Turner and Fincher led off with consecutive singles to center field. Senay made it 3-0 by driving a 2-0 pitch well over the wall in right field for his team-leading eighth homer and second of the regional.
''Once Tarran hit that ball, I would say a little relief came off our shoulders,'' Turner said.
N.C. State added three more runs in the sixth. Fincher's two-out single to third base scored Matt Bergquist. Logan Ratledge followed him around on the play and was tagged out at the plate but was ruled safe due to obstruction.
Freshman Brad Stone (3-2) became the second N.C. State lefthander to beat the Tribe -- this one coming less than 24 hours after ace Carlos Rodon threw a two-hitter with 10 strikeouts in a 1-0 win.
Stone allowed four hits in 5.1 innings for his first victory since beating Maryland on March 31.
''They were the best team here in this regional and they played like the best team,'' Tribe coach Jamie Pinzino said. ''Their pitchers did a good job two days in a row of shutting down our offense.''
Grant Sasser struck out three of the five batters he faced for his eighth save.
Turner made the defensive play of the night at shortstop in the sixth, diving to his right to field Michael Katz's sharp grounder in the hole and firing a strike to first base to retire him.
Not that everything was clean in the field for the Wolfpack as three errors in the eighth led to the Tribe's second run.

Powell Breaks Silence on "The Goon"
"Comics should have a lot wider audience than it has. I sponsor a roller derby, and that's a crowd where the people who are into it are rockabilly-ish, tattooed punks who love roller derby. These are the people who should be reading comics and who would know there are a lot of different types of comics out there. And not as many of them read comics as you'd think.
"There are these weird little subcultures that are artsy and not about the mainstream, and I think that's the perfect kind of crowd to be reading 'Goon' comics."
Of course, what would expand that crowd of readers even more would be a movie adaptation of the character, and Powell promised that his deal with director David Fincher and CG animation specialists Blur Studios was moving forward strongly. "I just finished writing the script a few months back, and Blur is working on a lot of test stuff. Fincher is working on a film right now, so we're waiting for him to get some space so we can start showing some of this stuff off. I'm pretty happy with everything so far. We've just got to work to get to the next point. This is a slow, long process."
While he couldn't confirm whether or not Fincher would direct the final product or be credited as a producer, Powell said, "David's going to be heavily involved. I've worked with him and Blur quite a bit to get the screenplay together, and it's been a great experience so far." He added that this specific deal is keeping him much more involved with the screen life of his property than many other comic creators have gotten.
"I think it's a choice where, if you're getting a giant paycheck from a major studio to adapt your book and get Brad Pitt as the lead or whatever, then they kind of take it away from you because they've invested so much. But when you're doing something that's more about the material and less about a big event, they give you the opportunity to be more involved. And that's your choice," Powell said. "Some guys are like, 'Just give me the check and you do what you want with it.' But I've worked so long on 'The Goon' and I'm not creating a new book every month. I'm kind of using the Mike Mignola/Jeff Smith approach where you get your book out there and maintain it. I've got a lot invested in this on character, so I wanted to be involved. And they were eager to have me involved, so it worked out very well."
And control reigns supreme with December's "Chimichanga" series, which Powell decided to self-publish as an exercise in expanding his creative platforms. "It's definitely in tone and sensibility a complete departure from 'The Goon'" he explained. "However, it has the feel of one of my comics. When you read this, it'll have that feel of an Eric Powell comic – the atmosphere a Goon story has and the same rhythms to the dialogue. Other than that, it's a pretty strong departure."
While the story revolves around a bearded girl and her cohorts in a strange circus, Powell shied away from directly labeling it a "children's comic" because "I'm not necessarily writing Chimichanga for kids. It's kid-safe. You could definitely share it with a kid, but adults will enjoy it just as much. That's the key. If you try to do something 'for a kid,' then you're doomed. If you do something for yourself that you enjoy, the kid will most likely enjoy it too."
As for his ongoing plans for "The Goon," Powell promised more stories through 2010 as the book returns to a bi-monthly schedule. "I'm still going along with the idea I had in the beginning, which is me taking it wherever I wanted to take it. I wanted to keep it kind of random and unpredictable. It's a 'whatever I feel like doing at the time' kind of book. I don't limit myself because of any issues I've done previously. I have bigger story lines I want to do for 'The Goon,' but I want to continue with some of the self-contained stories I did earlier on and keep a sense of unpredictability and fun… stuff that pushes the comic in weird ways and what you can do with the medium.
"There's going to be more Goon stuff and not just 'The Goon,' but there's going to be more kind of 'Goon Universe' stuff going on in this next year. I hate using that because it makes it sound like a superhero comic, but Goon-related material will be coming out and should be pretty fun."
"The Goon" #33 hit stands November 25 from Dark Horse.

Family Preparedness
Extreme temperatures are extremely difficult for special needs populations, for example the elderly and persons who cannot otherwise take care of themselves. Both heat and cold are a recurring threat in Tennessee based upon the time of the year. Extreme cold becomes a serious threat when power goes out and extreme heat becomes deadly when the power goes out. There are periods of temperatures in Tennessee above 100 degrees and as low as 20 degrees below zero in the winter. These broad swings of temperature threaten the lives of some citizens.
Heat Wave of 1988 - Summer of 1988
A year-long drought that had ravaged the agricultural economy was further exacerbated by the heat wave of 1988. Damage to the agricultural economy surpassed $61 billion as total rainfall along the Great Plains region from April through June was even lower than during the Dust Bowl years. Drought conditions seeded wildfires that raged across Yellowstone National Park and Mount Rushmore that summer. Between 5,000 and 10,000 people succumbed to health complications stemming from the sweltering heat. Tennessee got its share.
Heat Wave of 1980 - Summer of 1980
The heat wave of 1980 proved to be one of the nation's most catastrophic prolonged weather events. A high-pressure ridge pushed temperatures across the central and southern United States above 90 degrees Fahrenheit for most of the summer. Agricultural damage tallied an estimated $48 billion due to a massive drought, and 10,000 people died from heat and heat stress-related ailments.
Dust Bowl - Early 1930's
Prior to the early 1930's, the Great Plains was a farmer's paradise. Rising demands for wheat spurred settlers to plow much of the southern plains' grassy soil to meet this need. The land was eventually exposed to erosion, since grass and tree roots that had held the moist soil in place during dry times were replaced by cash crops. A decade-long drought transformed the loose topsoil into dust, which windstorms swept up and blew eastward, darkening skies as far away as the Atlantic Coast. With most of the area's crops decimated, a third of the farmers turned to government aid, while around half a million Americans were left homeless.
Winter Storm
Tennessee weather is a challenge year-round, but it is especially troubling in the winter since any wet areas freeze and become a hazard to transportation. The freezing conditions may take place suddenly without much warning and not be visible to drivers, called "black ice." This may surprise drivers from drier climates who do not often experience ice under snow which nearly always accompanies cold weather in Tennessee. Even Tennessee drivers are surprised by the sudden changes. Traffic snarls are normal when snows arrive in the state's communities. This state is usually very wet and rain precedes any change in temperature. When storms arrive and the rain freezes, the result is not only a hazard to the transportation network, the power grid is often affected too. For hospitals, nursing homes, shut-ins, schools and other special needs groups, the loss of power, heat and medical equipment operation may be life-threatening. In cold weather the icing conditions could last for weeks which interferes with the return of power.
To prepare for cold extremes takes some careful thought since the typical survival kit will not provide everything that is required. Stocking up on water and food for an extended period takes advance planning. Keeping a portable generator and becoming familiar with how to hook it up and safely operate it are essential steps to survival. Making sure you have plenty of blankets and quilts or heating and cooking oil are considerations. Often, buying extra wood may be an option for homes with fireplaces. Do not overlook stocks of prescriptions and pet foods
Urban Fire
An urban fire is any instance of uncontrolled burning which results in major structural damage to residential, commercial, industrial, institutional or other properties in developed areas. Often, urban fires result from other catastrophes and become a part of the cascading emergencies created by the larger or initial emergency. On the same day as the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, October 8th, a fire in Peshtigo, Wisconsin burned out of control and spread over the entire town. The area became a conflagration when a windstorm fueled by the spread of several prairie fires fanned the blaze out over a million acres of forest. This fire leaped across the Peshtigo River and trapped both sides of the town of Peshtigo in terrific flames. When the inferno burned out, it had left roughly 1,200 dead. Although the Great San Francisco earthquake is best known for its 7.7 to 7.9 magnitude trembler, the real culprit on April 18, 1906 was an urban fire that caused the wooden city to burn for four days. The earthquake broke natural gas mains and water mains, not only causing blazes everywhere, but preventing the fire department from fighting the fires. A firestorm took out more than 500 city blocks, and 3,000 lives were lost. Of those who survived, some 225,000 people were without a home.

Forest Fire
Forest fire is still a common occurrence in Tennessee, mostly in the heavily forested East Tennessee area. Forest fire threats are typically combined with other hazards, such as droughts or thunderstorms. Each year a fire may involve areas that were once undeveloped timberland, but that are becoming a part of urban sprawl, the suburbs of expanding cities. Making the threat greater, many homes are built in the forests which are often more distant from fire services and utilities.
Forest fires do not commonly represent a major threat to most of Tennessee. There are occasions, however, where wildfires do get out of control, and you will find links to information about these fires from the state Division of Forestry. Additionally, Tennessee is home to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Cherokee National Forest, both of which are highly forested and are subject to significant fires. The greatest threat occurs when several fires appear causing the absorption of response forces to meet new fire problems.
The Forestry Division of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture is the first line of defense in fighting forest fires and usually eliminates the threats with little additional assistance.
Forestry maintains the Burn Safe TN website to provide information on wildfire prevention and current fire conditions in the state.
Wildfires are typically limited to fields and meadows in Tennessee and require a rapid response to prevent them from developing into a forest fire. The last major outbreak of wildfire in Tennessee was in 1952 when a serious drought set up conditions for fires which exceeded the resources to fight so many fires at the same time. Thousands of acres of Tennessee timber land and meadows were burning at the same time, a stretch of fires from Memphis to Strawberry Plains. All of these fires were finally subdued only as rain began to fall because the number of resources to fight some many fires had long been depleted.
Losses totaled in the millions due to lost crops, timber and businesses.
A cooperative network of emergency management between the states, known as the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), now helps assure rapid resources can be obtained to address wildfires in the future.
Floods are prevalent in Tennessee and still cause declarations of disaster, although mitigation efforts over the years have reduced much of the serious flooding and flash flooding that have plagued Tennesseans before Tennessee Valley Authority dams. Floods, however, are still the number one weather-related killer. A flood can happen anywhere, in the flatlands of West Tennessee, in the rolling meadows of Middle Tennessee or along the mountainous terrain of East Tennessee.
A flood is a flow or overflow of water from a river or similar body of water, occurring over a period of time and rising above the normal levels for water. Flooding may be caused by thunderstorms and by fronts that may fill creeks or river basins too quickly. Even Tennessee may experience torrential rains from decaying hurricanes or other tropical systems. The Mississippi River Flood of 1993 was caused by repeated heavy rain from thunderstorms over a period of weeks.
Flash floods are quickly-rising floods, usually occurring as the result of very heavy rain over a short period of time, and typically surge through dry creek beds or ditches unexpectedly. Flash floods can be caused by ice jams on rivers in conjunction with a winter or spring thaw or a dam or levee break. The constant influx of water finally causes a treacherous overflow which can sweep away vehicles, uproot trees, rip away propane tanks, level buildings, roll boulders into roadways, and drag bridges off their piers. Most surprising is the speed with which the water rises.
A frightening example of a flash flood that combined with other disasters to kill a large number of people was the Johnstown Flood of Pennsylvania on May 31, 1889. Johnstown was a steel manufacturing community that did not recognize the danger they were in from a dam 14 miles upstream. The South Fork Dam, stressed beyond its ability, failed during several days of torrential downpour. The dam released 20 million tons of water and debris that rose at times to 60 feet high and rushed downhill at 40 mph sweeping nearly all homes, factories, equipment, bridges and other paraphernalia in its path. The debris piled against a stone bridge in Johnstown that became oil soaked and which then caught fire. Eighty survivors who had avoided drowning and who were on the debris or who were floating down the river into the debris were burned to death. The flood leveled 1,600 homes, and the flood and fire killed 2,209 people. SOURCE: http://www.johnstownpa.com/History/hist19.html
Safety Tips for Flood Victims
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends several safety tips to the victims of floods. This safety alert illustrates some dangerous practices which consumers may be tempted to engage in during efforts to rebuild or while staying in temporary housing, tents, or partially damaged homes. This information is provided in an effort to prevent injuries and deaths from consumer products as flood survivors make new beginnings.
"We hope this information helps prevent product-related injuries and deaths during these difficult times."
- Chairman Ann Brown
Do not use electrical appliances that have been wet. Water can damage the motors in electrical appliances, such as furnaces, freezers, refrigerators, washing machines, and dryers.
If electrical appliances have been under water, have them dried out and reconditioned by a qualified service repairman. Do not turn on damaged electrical appliances because the electrical parts can become grounded and pose an electric shock hazard or overheat and cause a fire. Before flipping a switch or plugging in an appliance, have an electrician check the house wiring and appliance to make sure it is safe to use.
Electricity and water don't mix. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to help prevent electrocutions and electrical shock injuries. Portable GFCIs require no tools to install and are available at prices ranging from $12 to $30.
When using a "wet-dry vacuum cleaner," be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid electric shock. Do not allow the power cord connections to become wet. Do not remove or bypass the ground pin on the three-prong plug. Use a GFCI to prevent electrocution. NEVER allow the connection between the machine's power cord and the extension cord to lie in water. To prevent a gas explosion and fire, have gas appliances (natural gas and LP gas) inspected and cleaned after flooding.
If gas appliances have been under water, have them inspected and cleaned and their gas controls replaced. The gas company or a qualified appliance repair person or plumber should do this work. Water can damage gas controls so that safety features are blocked, even if the gas controls appear to operate properly. If you suspect a gas leak, don't light a match, use any electrical appliance, turn lights on or off, or use the phone. These may produce sparks. Sniff for gas leaks, starting at the water heater. If you smell gas or hear gas escaping, turn off the main valve, open windows, leave the area immediately, and call the gas company or a qualified appliance repair person or plumber for repairs. Never store flammable materials near any gas appliance or equipment.
Check to make sure your smoke detector is functioning. Smoke detectors can save your life while fires are still small. Check the battery frequently to make sure the detector is operating. Fire extinguishers also are a good idea. Keep them current.
Gasoline is made to explode! Never use gasoline around ignition sources such as cigarettes, matches, lighters, water heaters, or electric sparks. Gasoline vapors can travel and be ignited by pilot lights, thermostats or other ignition sources. Make sure that gasoline powered generators are away from easily combustible materials.
Chain saws can be hazardous, especially if they "kick back." To help reduce this hazard, make sure that your chain saw in equipped with the low-kickback chain. Look for other safety features on chain saws, including hand guard, safety tip, chain brake, vibration reduction system, spark arrestor on gasoline models, trigger or throttle lockout, chain catcher, and bumper spikes. Always wear shoes, gloves, and protective glasses. On new saws, look for certification to the ANSI B-175.1 standard.
When cleaning up from a flood, store medicines and chemicals away from young children. Poisonings can happen when young children swallow medicines and household chemicals. Keep household chemicals and medicines locked up and away from children. Use the child resistant closures that come on most medicines and chemicals. Burning charcoal gives off carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide has no odor and can kill you. Never burn charcoal inside homes, tents, campers, vans, cars, trucks, garages, or mobile homes.
WARNING: Submerged circuit breakers and fuses pose explosion and fire hazard! Replace all circuit breakers and fuses that have been under water:
GAS CONTROL VALVES on furnaces, water heaters, and other gas appliances that have been under water are unfit for continued use. If they are used, they could cause a fire or an explosion. Silt and corrosion from flood water can damage internal components of control valves and prevent proper operation. Gas can leak and result in an explosion or fire. Replace ALL gas control valves that have been under water.
For "disaster-related" questions, call the FEMA Helpline at 800-525-0321.
For people who live in counties already declared eligible for "federal disaster assistance," call FEMA on 800-462-9029.
Landslides or Rockslides
Landslides or rockslides threaten to cause unexpected damage where higher ground is found near some construction, whether it is a house, business or road. Due to having been cut through or due to being near mountains or ridges, roads are the most frequently reported target of land or rock slides. TEMA typically does not get involved in these local emergencies unless the accident involves some other threat, such as hazardous materials release or the damages exceed Stafford Act thresholds.
Sinkholes or Caves
Tennessee is subject to unexpected appearances of sinkholes or caves in property or roads. These threats are caused by the type of geology found in the State of Tennessee. Subsidence is especially prevalent after excessive rains.
Karst topography
Karst topography is limestone which is subject to or is eroding due to water leaching into the ground. The water rapidly erodes the surrounding soil and rock into tunnels, caverns and sinkholes. This is particularly threatening near a dam. Some of the dams in the Tennessee Valley have been discovered to suffer from this weakness.
NOTE: Earthquakes are a geologic threat, but due to the unique issues found in an earthquake that type of geologic threat is dealt with as a separate threat.
In most cases, the response to hazardous materials (HAZMAT) incidents is handled by the local jurisdiction, typically by the fire department and sometimes by a specialized HAZMAT team. Railroads contract with special HAZMAT companies to perform cleanup and remediation for a HAZMAT release.
TEMA has plans in place to respond to any HAZMAT spill on highways, rivers, rails or public property. The first responders are nearly always local city and county responders who are trained by TEMA. OSHA requires hazardous materials teams to be qualified based upon published standards in consolidated federal regulations (CFR) which then becomes law. TEMA provides specialized training for two levels of HAZMAT expertise, technician level and specialist level. TEMA routinely provides an area coordinator, who will usually also be a qualified HAZMAT technician or specialist, to assist or advise local jurisdictions with significant releases. TEMA will always support and back-up those responders with whatever resources or manpower that they might request. If necessary, TEMA will either contract HAZMAT companies, request federal resources and manpower to assist in the response or both.
TEMA will utilize any communications means available to notify the public of hazards caused by accidents or other HAZMAT release. Citizens will be notified by radio and television which will be first informed through public announcements, 911 services (24-hour warning points), TEMA warning networks with county emergency management agencies and by National Weather Service systems. Often, additional warnings may be provided by public sirens and electronic sign-boards.
TEMA can call out certain environmental personnel, such as the state's Department of Environment and Conservation Water Pollution Control Division, to assist local agencies in dealing with the consequences of releases. Additionally, TEMA routinely notifies the National Response Center of activities associated with HAZMAT releases in Tennessee. Frequently, state and local officials contact the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard for assistance in dealing with technical aspects of HAZMAT incidents.
This is the federal, state and local chain-of-command. The national emergency management system calls this system ICS (Incident Command System) and NIMS (National Incident Management System). It works the same way in every city, county and state in the nation. The local, state and federal officials work very closely with the private or public transportation carriers to assure a quick and effective response. Often, the fastest clean-up can be achieved by privately-owned emergency HAZMAT companies hired by the transporters. The shipper or originating facility is responsible for the costs of the response and remediation of affected areas.
The information below is from the TEMP (Tennessee Emergency Management Plan).
TEMA's response actions in a HAZMAT incident:
- Notify and dispatch appropriate local, state and federal personnel to assist with HAZMAT operations.
- Maintain logs and records concerning the incident and its events.
- Notify the National Response Center (NRC).
- Contact the Chemical Emergency Transportation Center (CHEMTREC), if requested by local or state response personnel.
- Notify appropriate state Emergency Service Coordinators (ESC) or other contact personnel.
- Notify the FEMA Region IV Regional Response Team (and request assistance, if needed).
- Coordinate response activities of mutual aid personnel/agencies, including fire and emergency medical service agencies.
- Provide information concerning extent and nature of the problem(s) to Emergency Service Function- Five (ESF-5) groups, which consists of the information and planning functions of agencies or authorities relevant or responding to the incident.
- Contact clean-up companies, shippers, and others with an interest in the incident, as requested by on-scene personnel.
- Initiate federal involvement (through appropriate regional office) if warranted.
- Task other agencies and ESFs as necessary to carry out missions.
- Develop priorities for response when multiple incidents are involved.
Emergency Preparedness for Earthquakes
By now everyone in the state is familiar with the New Madrid Earthquake zone and the potential it has for creating a major catastrophe, not only for Tennessee but also for much of the country. In addition, there is an unnamed and largely undescribed earthquake zone that roughly parallels Interstate 75 from Chattanooga to near Knoxville. So, earthquakes are a concern for citizens in more than just the western part of the state. A major earthquake represents what would potentially be the largest natural disaster ever to occur in the state of Tennessee. Some estimates suggest that a major earthquake in the New Madrid zone would be a nationwide catastrophic event, largely due to the interruption in transportation, communications, fuel supply, and the economic consequences that would be experienced as a result of damage to the infrastructure.
You can get an idea of how much more devastating a Central U. S. earthquake could be to the county by comparing the extent of damages from a 6.7 event in Northridge, California. This picture shows that an earthquake similar to that quake could cause major damage across a wide area.
Preparedness Information for Earthquakes
Tennessee is located where the jet stream typically brings all kinds of aberrant weather. Due to the variations of the jet stream and where it may be at any particular time, it is difficult to forecast Tennessee weather with consistent accuracy. The weather in Tennessee is changeable, in fact, it has long been said that, "if you don't like the weather in Tennessee, just wait ... it will change!"
Thunderstorms are prevalent in Tennessee year-round. Although they are more frequent in the spring and the fall, they may happen in any month. High straight-line winds are often as much a threat to the public as tornadoes. Straight-line winds of up to 60 mph are not unusual and typically precede a front which dramatically changes the current temperature.
If you anticipate the arrival of a front, expect straight-line winds 10-20 miles ahead of the front. Stay calm, but seek shelter immediately. Avoid rooms with windows and if there is an option, select a room in the center of the house with good structural support, usually the smaller the better. Keep a TV or radio handy and a flashlight in your shelter. Wear shoes to protect your feet from broken glass and other debris left by the storm. Protect your head and chest; crouch, face to floor, hands behind your head. Cover yourself with blankets, pillows or coats. Hide under sturdy furniture. You should take shelter within the bathtub if there are no glass tub enclosures or large mirrors nearby. Avoid candles, gas lanterns and oil lamps.
In schools and offices: seek a designated shelter in interior rooms or hallways on the ground floor or the lowest floor possible. A basement area is the best protection if it will stay dry. Avoid auditoriums and gymnasiums. In shopping malls, seek the smaller interior shops on the ground floor. In shopping centers, avoid the large open rooms as well as the walls from the direction which the storm is approaching.
Evacuate mobile homes and vehicles! These are never safe. Seek shelter in more substantial structures, or as a last resort immediately before arrival in a ditch or culvert. Find another place to be as quickly as possible after the front has moved through since rain will bring fast-rising water to your ditch.
The best way to protect yourself in a severe winter storm is to prepare before it arrives. Most winter storms do not last over a few days.
Outdoor Survival -- The Six Survival Rules
- Tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return. If you move from one area to another, advise someone.
- Never go on an outing by yourself.
- Take enough food for several days.
- Take a compass and map of the area and know how to use them. Before leaving camp, orient yourself to the area.
- Wear proper clothing and equipment. Weather conditions can change quickly.
- Plan your outing so that you can return to camp before dark.
If you find yourself stranded or lost outdoors, you can depend on these three things:
- Clothing/equipment you have with you
- Your ability to use whatever survival, knowledge and skills you possess
- Your mental attitude - confidence in yourself, plus the desire to survive no matter how difficult circumstances may become.
STOP...when lost
- S-Stop where you are. Stop, relax and regain your composure.
- T-Think - keep your cool. Use your brain. It is your best survival tool. Make sure you have a clear head before making any decisions.
- O-Observe your surroundings, your equipment and your physical condition. Identify the factors which most affect your possible survival and consider solutions.
- P-Plan a course of action. Consider all factors, adopt a plan which best utilizes your skill, knowledge, equipment and your physical and mental state. Prevent and care for physical injuries, protect yourself from the elements (shelter and fire construction), prevent exposure, acquire water and prepare signals for attracting rescuers.
Vehicle Safety
Plan your travel and check weather reports to avoid the storm. Delay any trips if possible.
Conserve vehicle fuel, run the engine and heater about ten minutes each hour to keep warm, crack a window slightly to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. In extreme cold, use seat covers, newspapers, blankets or extra clothing for covering - anything to provide insulation and warmth. Turn the dome light on so rescue teams can spot you at night, but do not run the battery down. If you have a cell phone, use it as needed but leave it off when you are not using it so the battery will be available for a really urgent need.
Assemble supplies for a vehicle disaster supply kit, packing them in an easy-to-carry container.
Learn the difference between a Tornado Watch and a Tornado Warning:
A Tornado Watch indicates that conditions are right for a tornado to develop and that the sky should be watched. Tornadoes usually follow severe thunderstorms, so be alert to changing weather conditions.
A Tornado Warning indicates a tornado has been sighted or that radar indicates one has developed or could develop within minutes. Warnings will give the location of the tornado and the area immediately affected by the warning. When a warning is issued, move quickly to shelter.
Immediate Dangers -- The immediate threat from tornadoes is danger to life and property from violently whirling winds and debris hurled through the air by the winds. Wind speeds in tornadoes can exceed 250 mph.
Long-Term Dangers -- Long-term risks include the possibility of building collapse, fallen trees and power lines, broken gas lines, broken sewer and water mains, and the outbreak of fires. Agricultural crops and industries may be damaged or destroyed.
What to do BEFORE a Tornado
Designate a location for shelter. Have a disaster supply kit on hand containing
- First aid kit with important medications
- Flashlight, battery-powered radio and extra batteries
- A three-day supply of food and water
- Various tools and supplies including a non-electric can opener
- Sturdy shoes and work gloves
- Cash
- Copy of important family documents and essential prescriptions
Know what a tornado watch and warning mean. A warning tells you that a tornado has been observed or suspected. Listen to local radio/TV stations or NOAA weather radio for weather information which may change rapidly. Develop a family communications plan. In case family members are separated during a disaster, have a plan for getting back together. Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the family contact. After a disaster, it is often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address and phone number of that contact person.
During a Tornado
- If at home, go to a basement or storm cellar, away from windows. If neither a basement or storm cellar is available, find shelter under a piece of sturdy furniture such as a work bench or heavy table and hold on to it. A room in the center of the house is usually safer than the outer rooms, especially if they have windows. Use your arms to protect head and neck.
- If at work or school, go to the basement or inside hallway at the lowest level. Avoid rooms such as auditoriums, gymnasiums, cafeterias or large hallways.
- If outdoors, get inside a building, if possible. If unable to get indoors, lie in a ditch or low-lying area. If possible, try to avoid water-filled ditches. Use arms to protect head and neck and stay low to the ground. Remember: If you are in a ditch or low-lying area, be alert for flash floods that may accompany tornadoes.
- If in a vehicle, never try to outrun a tornado. Get out of the vehicle immediately and take shelter in a nearby building. If there is no time to go indoors, get out of the vehicle and lie in a ditch or low-lying area between the vehicle and the tornado. Do not take shelter in a ditch downwind of the vehicle as it could be blown on top of you. Use your arms to protect head and neck.
- If in a mobile home, remember that they are particularly vulnerable to wind damage. A mobile home can overturn easily even if precautions have been taken to tie down the unit. When a tornado warning is issued, get out of the mobile home, and take shelter in a building with a strong foundation. If shelter is not available, lie in a ditch or low-lying area between the tornado and mobile home. Do not take shelter in a ditch downwind of the mobile home. If a tornado hits a mobile home, debris usually flies everywhere and could fall on top of you. Use your arms to protect head and neck.
After a Tornado
- Check for injured or trapped persons. Call out and listen for replies.
- Give first aid when appropriate. Don't try to move the seriously injured unless they are in immediate danger of further injury.
- Listen to radio or television for emergency information.
- Re-enter buildings with extreme caution.
- Use the telephone only in an emergency, to include your cell phone.
- Be alert to fire hazards such as broken electrical wires or damaged electrical equipment, gas or oil leaks or smoldering piles of wet hay or feed.
- Report broken utility lines to appropriate authorities.
- Do not shut off utilities unless instructed to do so by local officials or unless you are in immediate danger (perhaps a gas leak). Remember that your gas supply must be turned back on by a professional.
- Have damage to your property assessed by your insurance company.
Related Emergencies
Tornadoes are part of a severe thunderstorm and bring with them the dangers of lightning, high winds, floods and flash floods from extremely heavy rainfall.
There are frequent incidents involving air or rail passenger travel which result in death or serious injury. TEMA typically does not respond to highway incidents (unless requested) since local responders and local emergency management personnel can handle these issues. Air and rail accidents usually require more resources than available in the local jurisdiction and are often handled by TEMA. The state also has 4 major airports, and several smaller ones.
When driving on our highways motorists are encouraged to buckle their seatbelts and be aware of potential stoppages of traffic. Emergency management officials in Tennessee will normally re-route traffic when there are lengthy delays expected on major highways or interstates. Travelers by air or rail are advised to check the threat levels established by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and take precautions accordingly.
