In Austin, Texas today evacuees are facing food and supply shortages as they attempt to rebuild their lives from hurricane Ike. Officials from Red Cross, United Way and Austin area food bank are becoming aggressive and are in despite need of food and supplies. Over the past few days all three agencies have organized food and clothing drives at various locations throughout the Greater Austin region and each group sites nominal results. And with evacuees being forced settle in for the long haul here in Austin, charitable groups are worrying what they will do and attempting to get people on board to help their fellow man out. "We made a mistake" say Henry Ramirez of the Central Texas chapter of the Red Cross. "We thought we had enough food and supplies on Monday to fully support the evacuees. We flat out asked people to stop donating food and clothing. They did. We made a mistake." A press release was made to local media Monday here in Austin saying exactly that, and the Red Cross said they had plenty of volunteers also and asked people to hold off on submitting volunteer applications. It was not only the local Red Cross chapter that made the claim of having enough food for all the evacuees. The Austin Area food bank also asked people to stop giving donations on Monday saying they thought they had plenty. Max Taylor of the Austin Area food bank says "You know, our situation was, we were getting so much from the great people of Austin that we just had no room. What we meant was we just ran out of room for all of the food." After touring the facility on Monday it is plain to see that the Austin area food bank was full to capacity of donated items, but today when we were allowed access it was obvious that they had started running out of food. Austin area food bank worked with local media and other outlets to once again start building up their supplies and stockpiles of food for evacuees by holding numerous food drives throughout the area. The shortage of food for evacuees has thrown another blow to them. "How can this happen? I mean they knew there was a disaster going and they tell people that they had enough food. Give me a break! I thought it was a bad call when I saw it on the news Monday night. How and why did this happen? This is my question" says Cameron Falls of Surfside Beach, Texas who was evacuated to Austin one week ago to flee hurricane Ike. Her thoughts were repeated by evacuees and donors alike. "They put it out on the news the other day that they had enough food to go around and now they don't? How does this happen?" says Elizabeth Dowdy an Austin area food donor we spoke with. "We want to help, at least those who want to help themselves you know. How can we do that if we don't know what they need" says Dowdy. No matter who is to blame or how this happened the fact still remains for those in need, the food supplies are short. The Austin Area food bank, united way and Red Cross still need food and monetary support. All three agencies are set to issue apologies for their actions this week and are attempting to regain lost support and increase donations so that they can continue providing food for evacuees here in Austin. Red Cross, Austin food bank and united way advise for those wishing to make contributions to please look at their respected websites for information on donating food, supplies or money. And all 3 insist they will continue to meet the needs of people as long as the food holds out.

10 Overused Words in Writing by David Bowman
All words are good words. Some, however, are overused without adding value to what you write. As a result, they reduce the readers’ interest, make text seem redundant, and cause the writer to appear amateurish.
We have created a list of 10 overused words, based on the documents we have edited over the last 5 years. We don’t recommend that you remove these words from your writing. Instead, we recommend that you become aware of how often you use them and that you revise your documents to limit their use.
1. There
When writers are not sure about the subjects of their sentences, they will often use this word as the subject. This results in weak writing. (For advice on correcting this problem, see our article “Where Is There?â€)
Example: “There was no one at home.†This can be revised as “No one was at home.â€
2. You
Writers often use this word when referring to general or reoccurring situations. “You†rarely refers to the reader and should be avoided.
Example: “Our grandmother was nice. She always gave you candy.†This can be revised as “Our grandmother was nice. She always gave us candy.â€
3. If
Although “if†is a fine word, it is overused by writers trying to describe options and thought processes.
Example: “If she took the bus, she wouldn’t have time to stop by the grocery store.†This can be revised as “Taking the bus would leave her too little time to stop by the grocery store.â€
4. When
Readers realize that actions can occur at the same time, which is what the word “when†indicates. Thus, “when†is usually unnecessary.
Example: “When she opened the door, she saw blood on the floor.†This can be revised as “She opened the door and saw the blood on the floor.†Some writers use “when†to describe actions that cannot occur at the same time, as in “When she woke up, she made coffee.†Actually, she first wakes up and then makes the coffee. This can be revised as “She woke up and made the coffee.â€
5. As
We once worked on a book in which the author used this word repeatedly to describe the timing of actions, often 3 or 4 times in one paragraph.
Example: “He was shouting ‘Follow me!’ as he ran down the road.†This can be revised as “He ran down the road shouting ‘Follow me!’ â€
6. Very
Mark Twain made this comment about using “veryâ€: “Substitute ‘damn’ every time you're inclined to write ‘very’; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.†“Very†is a crutch for finding the right word to describe what you mean to say. Find the right word.
Example: “He was very old.†This can be revised as “He was ancient.â€
Also, in this example, you can simply write, “He was old,†and then provide text to further explain what you mean by “old.†For example, you could write, “He was old. He walked hesitantly, knowing that his brittle bones would surely break were he to stumble over an unseen obstacle.â€
7. Really
Generally, this word can be removed without changing the meaning of a sentence. Anything that is true is also really true.
Example: “He was really nervous about speaking in public.†This can be revised as “He was nervous about speaking in public.†To show a greater degree, use a different word, as in “He was panicky about speaking in public†or “Public speaking scared him.â€
8. Am/Is/Are/Was/Were (“to be†verbs)
Action verbs are always preferable to state-of-being verbs. Use words that describe the action occurring. Rather than saying what something/someone is, show the reader what something/someone does.
Example: “I am envious of her success.†This can be revised as “I envy her success.â€
Example: “She was dressed in leather chaps and a flannel shirt.†This can be revised as “She wore leather chaps and a flannel shirt.â€
9. So
See #7. “So†is also overused as a conjunction.
Example: “Her face was inches from his own, so he leaned forward and kissed her.†This can be revised as “Her face was inches from his own. He leaned forward and kissed her.â€
10. Because
This word is overused to provide explanations. To fix this, use the word “and†with action verbs.
Example: “He wanted to go to the fair because his friends would be there.†This can be revised as “He wanted to go to the fair and meet with his friends.â€
Example: “I want to leave because I am tired.†This can be revised as “I’m tired and want to leave.â€

Getting Started with Article Writing for Your Business by Jeff Wolfgang
The World Wide Web loves content. Good quality content will not only give other websites a natural reason to link to your site, quality content articles may also be submitted to numerous other websites, many of which do not mind the inclusion of a simple one or two links back to your website. After all, your content benefits them by giving people more of a reason to visit their website.
While recognizing the need for good articles and content is one thing, actually sitting down and writing them is another. For many people, this phase of the process is so frustrating that it becomes easy to put off, leaving us choosing instead to just sit back and wait for one of those rare "eureka" moments to get the ball rolling.
One thing that is sure to prove helpful in getting you started is a working list. This list can act as a simple place to organize any ideas that you or your colleagues get from time to time. Start a suggestion box open to company employees and make the list available amongst them to read. Oftentimes a handful of good ideas can spring from just one simple idea that someone else has come up with. Some of those employees may even take it amongst themselves to write an article on a topic that they feel confident discussing on a professional level.
Some of the ideas you come up with could be in regards to new technologies or events pertaining to your industry. If your website sells products, you may also want to write articles that explain to your customers how to use or assemble the products you sell. At the Computer Cable Store for example, you will find articles explaining how to terminate network patch cables from a reel of bulk cable.
Brainstorm, and before you know it, you'll be well on your way to having a good, high quality collection of useful articles for your website and, in turn, a natural growth of unique and repeat visitors as well.
