1 We try to stimulate the woman to get at least 4 follicles with sizes of 14-20mm diameter. 2  Ideally, there would be at least 8 follicles between 13-20 mm. 3  The goal is to get a good number (about 8-15) of quality eggs. 4  Blood hormone levels and developing follicle sizes are monitored.
Magnitude 6.5 earthquake hits off Northern California coast. A powerful magnitude 6.5 earthquake rocked the Northern California coast Thursday morning. The quake occurred under the Pacific Ocean about 100 miles west of Ferndale, near the Oregon border, about 6:50 a.m., the U.S. Geological Survey said. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
There are hundreds of identified faults in California; about 200 are considered potentially hazardous based on their slip rates in recent geological time (the last 10,000 years). More than 70 percent of the state's population resides within 30 miles of a fault where high ground shaking could occur in the next 50 years. Does California have more and bigger earthquakes than anyplace else? Actually, Alaska has more earthquakes and the biggest ones in the U.S. The largest earthquake in history occurred in Chile (a magnitude 9.5 on May 22, 1960). The biggest earthquake in the contiguous 48 states was the magnitude 7.9 Ft. Tejon quake on Jan. 9, 1857.
