Of course realizing something happened, computing predictions and distributing the information in a timely fashion is also non-trivial. I don't know exactly when they posted it, but there certainly wasn't much delay in getting predictions on the internet. The NOAA has some good information on their tsunami research program including information about today's event and a youtube video of the simulation

It's probably a compromise on their part so no one can claim their website has been unfairly blocked. A user who has blocked the website has presumably been presented with search results, viewed the content, and has made a conscious decision to block it. Not that I disagree with you, of course. You're absolutely right.

'Bio-cotton?'

Biocotton(?):

BioCotton is the brand name of a new semi-manufactured finished product derived from organic cotton, which is obtained using bio-dynamic cultivation techniques. This form of cultivation substitutes chemical fertilizers and pesticides with certified natural fertilizers and with a programmed rotation of the cotton fields . Bio-dynamic cultivation takes into account the lunar phases best adapted for sowing. This is preceded by the introduction of homeopathic substances into the earth (such as mineral silicon) which reinforces soil structure. From this type of cultivation comes a high quality and easily worked product. The pure biological nature of the cotton makes this fiber both non-allergic and usable without warning indications even for people who are hypersensitive or affected with special skin pathologies (it doesn't alter neutral Ph), by breastfeeding or future mothers, by hospitals.

P.S. I'm just the messenger. Don't shoot.
