We are still in obscure regarding our IBO colleague at the beginning of The New Year 2005, particularly our dear colleagues in tsunami affected countries. We have received no news from their side, except for a short preliminary message from Dr. Agus Dana Permana our colleague in Indonesia. This message is perhaps can activate our colleages to report about the effect of disaster.

Thank to Dr. Soucup for the contribution to the relief, done on behalf of IBO Coordinating Center.
