Rewarding Chaos Rewarding Chaos TNT's Jay Newell and Creative Chaos' talented staff received accolades for "Operation TNT: The Wall That Heals" with a Golden Beacon Award from the Cable Television Public Affairs Association (CTPAA). CTPAA also awarded "Best National PSA" to the spot. Newell and Creative Chaos' Deb Wise have produced for Operation TNT from its inception in 1991.
