Hurricane Katrina Internet Scam

internet scams is to help generate broad awareness of them.

Some Question Robertson's Katrina Charity
Operation Blessing Is Second on FEMA's List for Donations for Hurricane
Victims
By BRIAN ROSS
Sep. 9, 2005 - Charity and religious leaders are questioning why the
Federal Emergency Management Agency designated Operation Blessing as the
No. 2 charity for donations in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Operation Blessing is the charity founded and still chaired by Pat
Robertson, the politically well-connected television evangelist, who
recently called for the assassination of Hugo Chavez, the president of
Venezuela.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've never had anything like this," Robertson
told his audience. "Let's rally together and do what we can."
In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the federal government,
through FEMA, issued a list of charities to which Americans should
donate. On that list, Operation Blessing was only second to the American
Red Cross.
Charity leaders say this FEMA recommendation is a huge boost for
Robertson's charity.
"It could be worth tens of millions of dollars," said Richard Walden,
president and founder of Operation USA, a non-governmental organization
specializing in disaster relief.
However, as Robertson hosted his daily television show in Mississippi
this week, other charity leaders were questioning why FEMA had
recommended Robertson's operation and left others off the list,
including Walden's Operation USA.
"I was shocked," said Walden upon seeing Robertson's charity so
prominently displayed on the FEMA Web site. "It stuck out for a reason
because of Pat Robertson's activities over the years."
Questions of Accountability
Seven years ago, those activities led Virginia investigators to say
there was evidence to prove Robertson "willfully induced contributions
from the public through the use of misleading statements." Robertson
denied the allegations. He then personally reimbursed Operation
Blessing. No action was taken.
"Based on their track record, I would say that, as an individual, I
would not give to Operational Blessing," admitted the Rev. Charles
Henderson, a Presbyterian minister, who is the executive director of the
Association for Religion and Intellectual Life.
According to its most recent filing with the Internal Revenue Service,
Operation Blessing gave more than half of its yearly allocation of cash
donations -- $885,000 -- to the Christian Broadcasting Network, or CBN,
of which Robertson is also the chairman.
"There is no accountability when you have two boards working hand in
hand like this," said Henderson. "One never knows when you're
contributing to Operation Blessing whether the money is really going to
the hurricane victims, or whether it's going to pay for some more
television time for Pat Robertson's television show."
Some charity watchdog groups have given high marks to Operation
Blessing. Bill Horan, the charity's president, at first denied his
charity gave any money to Robertson's television operation.
"Well, that's an absolute, total and complete distortion of the truth,"
Horan said. "Operation Blessing does not give 1 red cent to CBN."
When he was told of the Operation Blessing documents obtained by ABC
News, which show a contribution of $885,000 to CBN, Horan called it an
accounting issue.
"I'm president of a charity that's been working 22 to 24 hours a day for
the last week trying to save lives down there," he said, "and I'm not
going to talk any more about the issues that involve accounting."
A spokesman for Operation Blessing later told ABC News that the charity
utilizes Robertson's television network as a conduit for delivering
donations overseas, and that none of the money has been used for network
activities.
As for FEMA, Director Michael Brown says that he does not know who
decided to recommend Robertson's charity so prominently.

* DEM packages
* RDBMS packages for DEM data
* Support for processing DEM data dynamically
* Analytic table support for landscape searching
* Simple GUI (demtool) for viewing DEMs
* Support for data export and management
http://www.c5corp.com/research/demtool/index.shtml
Overview of C5 Landscape Database API 1.0.3
The C5 Landscape Database API 1.0.3 began as a Digital Elevation Model
browser and data export tool, (DEM Tool), written in java. Now a part of
the C5 Landscape Database API packages, the C5 DEM Tool is still useful
for browsing a collection DEM files via a simple graphical user
interface. But since the original release of the Dem Tool utility and
related classes in 2002, the library of related Java classes have grown
and were significantly reorganized. The mission of the API also drifted
as C5 theorized the relationships between landscape data and art
practice and began implementing software mediated performances in the
landscape, all of which led us to theorize more, rewrite the software,
and perform yet more experiments in the landscape. Now merged with the
capabilities of a number of C5 Perl modules (which were retired after
being ported to java this year), the software has evolved into a robust
platform for data mediated practice in the landscape, through much
experimentation and performance during the course of developing the C5
Landscape Initiative Projects.

summer, and we could see it from over 17 kilometers away in the Silver

residents of its Wendover program (see www.clui.org). It would be
interesting to see Rhizomer's take it on as a problem or an opportunity
in future years; because not only does the site traverse the
virtual/real problem in an interesting way, (it is so remote and in such
a hostile environment that it is certainly experienced as media, mapping
and data more so than as site), it is also a potentially nice foil to
help break the "urban" cliche attached to "locative media". The lands
surrounding it are mostly public. It also has a history of artistic
mediations related to it. Mohne has done a great installation in this
special place - it is the only artificial light visible for many miles
