In the wake of the horrific killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School last week, Americans across the country are wondering how they can aid the families of the victims. There are numerous methods to donate money, but you also can help in other ways, such as volunteering your time, writing a card or letter, or sending a teddy bear to a child in Newtown.
During a Sunday news conference, police said the gunman in Friday's school shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. possessed much more ammunition in addition to the rounds he used to kill 20 children, seven adults and himself. Authorities also responded to a phoned-in threat at a church near the scene of the tragedy which has left the small New England town shaken and in a state of solemn mourning.

UPDATE 6:30 p.m.: Originally it was thought that Adam Lanza, the gunman, shot his mother at the Sandy Hook Elementary school, where she was a teacher's aide. ABC has learned that, in fact, Nancy Lanza was killed at her home (by her son) prior to the massacre. He then drove to the school, where he killed 20 children and six adults, before killing himself.

The Bobcat players say they have a different story planned for 2012 though.

If you are getting ready for tomorrow's game, but find yourself being forced to stay in tonight, you have to find this movie and watch it. It is a raunchy comedy called "Division III - Football's Finest." Starring Andy Dick as the coach of a small college football program, the movie is hilarious and delightfully bad.
Almost everyone knows that we are smack dab in the middle of hunting season right now, but did you know that it is also the rut?
