TwoColCats is a simple WordPress Plugin.
It provides a WordPress Widget that displays the list of categories in 
two or more columns in your sidebar. Use it instead of the built-in categories 
widget.
It displays only the level-1 categories.

This plugin adds a simple widget that allows you to display a number of recent blog posts from a specific category. You have the options to choose a title, category, number of posts and whether or not to show the post date. The posts will be ordered by date just like the default Recent Posts widget included with WordPress.

very easy to use

Very usefull

Just like the default Recent Posts widget except you can choose a category to pull posts from.
