Xeni Jardin: Photographer Clayton Cubitt, whose work I've posted about here many times, says:

I've created an edition of prints to benefit the Tsunami disaster relief efforts. This edition was printed exclusively for this benefit auction, and I won't be making any more prints in this size of these images. Ever.

The edition consists of two 13x19-inch prints, portraits I made of Thai kickboxers exactly one year ago at Lumpinee Stadium, Bangkok. These are beautiful pigment prints (if I do say so myself), personally printed by me on Hahnemuhle heavy-weight art paper, hand-signed and numbered (1/1).

100% of the proceeds will be donated through eBay's "Giving Works" system to Unicef's Tsunami Relief Fund.

Data alert network could have helped in
Asia tsunami 12/27/2004 02:56 AM
Xeni Jardin: India and Sri Lanka, the two nations with highest death tolls from yesterday's devastating tidal waves, are not among the group of 26 countries that comprise the International Coordination Group for the Tsunami Warning System. Had they been part of the alert system, say scientists -- lives could have been saved. Snip from NYT story:

Although waves swamped parts of the Sumatran coast and nearby islands within minutes, there would have been time to alert more distant communities if the Indian Ocean had a warning network like that in the Pacific, said Dr. Tad Murty, an expert on the region's tsunamis who is affiliated with the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg.

Within 15 minutes of the earthquake, in fact, scientists running the existing tsunami warning system for the Pacific, where such waves are far more common, sent an alert from their Honolulu hub to 26 participating countries, including Thailand and Indonesia, that destructive waves might be generated by the Sumatra tremors.

But there was no way to convey that information speedily to countries or communities an ocean away, said Dr. Laura S. L. Kong, a Commerce Department seismologist and director of the International Tsunami Information Center, an office run under the auspices of the United Nations.

Link to NYT story, and Link to USGS data on the "great earthquake" at magnitude 9.0 which occurred off the west coast of Northern Sumatra Sunday.
