[HOPE Founder and CEO, John Bryant, said,] Hurricane Katrina communicated in the strongest terms possible, the need for individuals to prepare for the financial and economic disaster that follows a physical disaster in America. Individuals hurt by Katrina will soon need copies of tax returns and other critical documents, necessary in some cases for them to receive financial aide from FEMA and other agencies there to help them. ... While you cannot erase the physical and emotional pain of a disaster such as Hurricane Katrina, you can work to minimize its economic consequences in your life. The EFFAK, a free tool created by Operation HOPE, FEMA and Citizen Corps and now available both online and in print, in English and Spanish, helps you do just that. |
Being broke is economic, ... Being poor is a disabling frame of mind. It's a condition of the spirit. |

Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and the process can be daunting, especially for first-time homebuyers. That's why it's so important for homebuyers to be fully informed and to understand their rights and responsibilities. We are proud to give lenders the tools they need to educate their Spanish-speaking customers on the process and to help ensure that their customers feel more confident about the process. |
For us, I think things went pretty well. Right now, we're looking to qualify people into the state track meet, and, overall, I'm happy with the progress we've made. |
I believe there's an opportunity to do the morally correct thing, |
I can’t even think that far ahead, |
If Mr. Davis thinks it is responsible for that board in Halifax County to ignore all the statutes that govern what it is that they're supposed to do, then that is his opinion. The conduct of the local board of health and its employees in this case, regarding Lady Kitchin, is just about as asinine as that comment about what this case is about. |
In time, I want to see us in every major inner-city in this country, including white communities. No matter whether you're black, white, red, brown or yellow, if you can produce green, Corporate America will pay attention to you. Banks will pay attention to you. And so in this capitalistic country that we live in, that's important. |
It is a little chillier than back at home. But, we are all excited to be here and to try to win the tournament. It's a new season for us and we are going to give it our best shot. |
It's worse than that when you see all these people whose homes are gone and they got nothing. |
It’s just a big mess what’s going on, especially for myself, the players and the staff, and no one knows what’s going to happen in the long run. |
My feeling is that any day I am too busy to run is a day that I am too busy. |
Plus, we’ve offered 25 percent of allocations from the naming rights at the stadium, so in our estimation, the city would receive a minimum of three times what they are receiving now, which is doable in a market of this size. Any team in a market the size of Hidalgo County should be aiming for higher attendance than what it is now. |
The job's not done. What concerns me going forward is that we continue the momentum and that folks like us pick up the mantle where RLA left off. |
