Be Useful, Updated.

I've updated "Be Useful" in reflection of last week's tragedies in Newtown. 

I copied and pasted it, but here it is regardless. Also: it will be on the "Be Useful" page likely until February.

See the PAGE for more info. 

Be Useful is devoted to the Newtown Tragedy for the next month or so, and ways you can help those affected. I'm sure you've seen a few by now, but it's such a huge cause. And I'd like to do what I can and you're probably the same way.

Here are some ideas. I hope you can use them, and I hope they really DO help, on some level:
