TODAY IS GIVING TUESDAY _ There's Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and now charities are starting what they hope will become a national day for giving. it's called Giving Tuesday.

 ... As of Monday, GivingTuesday.org had 2,106 partners listed on the movement's website, including corporations, nonprofits, schools and religious groups. The idea for the campaign sprung from Henry Timms, deputy executive director of the Jewish community center 92nd Street Y, and Kathy Calvin, CEO of the United Nations Foundation. Timms began thinking about the concept during the holidays last year, and the idea gained momentum this past spring.
