Johnny Manziel
Excitement is what Johnny Football brings. He added news reel moments to his history of unbelievable football at the Chick-fil-A Bowl last night, re-energizing the Texas A & Am offense and defense to lead them to victory after a first half disaster that looked like a Duke blowout.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1907367-chick-fil-a-bowl-2013-johnny-manziel-moves-up-college-footballs-mount-olympus?utm_source=cnn.com

It's Thursday, We're checking this set of URLS! CBS worked great for us. USA Today is often a different feature. CNN's Newday link is automatic. Now five sites auto update, which is nice! USA Today's remains the most different in US news. Canada's CBC audio is the most different to US listeners. CBS Video: Eye Opener: The world in 90 seconds.: Today's video worked fine today.
http://www.cbsnews.com/cbs-this-morning/eye-opener/ Yahoo GMA: Click the pic upon arrival. See the picture today and the list of story links: http://gma.yahoo.com/ CNN: Newday is updated this morning: They changed the year!! And we corrected our link below. http://newday.blogs.cnn.com/2014/ USA Today: ( We LIKE this one. It is automatic)It reminds us of Early versions of USA Today after they made the change to the front page. The AP minute seems to have found a home here too.http://www.usatoday.com/rightnow/?q=home USA Today for Thursday.

The Comics
The Comics change Daily! Sadly the second site does not present as much initial content with the editorial cartoons. http://news.yahoo.com/comics/ http://www.gocomics.com/ New from USA Today: Editorial Cartoons:Their success at presenting multiple ad impressions is an editorial cartoon all by itself! One new one is added daily. http://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/opinion/cartoons/2012/09/18/daily-editorial-cartoons/1411813/
Obamacare
We like our one stop news source. They keep it updated. We think it works better than just grabbing stories and we will keep it! This will likely remain a constant news attack point until January's budget talks take front stage, center again: http://www.cbsnews.com/feature/obamacare/The Supreme Court Current Session
Here is a search to keep up with news from John Roberts and the Supremes! http://www.bing.com/search?q=news%2C+Supreme+CourtStorms and Earthquakes
We created a few weather searches so we - and our readers - could keep up on the latest devastation news happening too often these days around the world. We may play with our search parameters. It doesn't seem to be sorting the stories very well. Typhoons: http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=typhoons%2c+latest+news&qpvt=typhoons%2c+latest+news&FORM=EWRE Hurricanes: http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=hurricane%2C+latest+news&qs=n&form=QBNT&pq=hurricane%2C+latest+news&sc=1-22&sp=-1&sk= Earthquakes: http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=earthquake%2C+latest+news&qs=n&form=QBNT&pq=earthquake%2C+latest+news&sc=1-23&sp=-1&sk=Older Projects
We do have two older, ongoing projects that need work and they are listed below. Each will be changed over the next year. We will alert you when each is ready. Anyone want to help?
