Top 50 Living Actors of 2014

While we seriously doubted we would look at this every week, we are! The articles on Brad Pitt, Sigourney Weaver, Joachim Phoenix, and now, Paul Giamatti are well written and offer a wealth of information! Forest Whitaker is #46. Great job Yahoo! We went also went searching for a 2013 list. We found several lists but didn't like their focus. Most had to do with money.

We did find: http://www.thebest100lists.com/best100actors/ which seems to be an ongoing list vote. This site has lots of ads, but is interesting.

Free Pictures Forever?

The Comics

The Comics change Daily! Sadly the second site does not present as much initial content with the editorial cartoons.

USA Today: Editorial Cartoons:
Their success at presenting multiple ad impressions is an editorial cartoon all by itself! One new cartoon is added daily.

OUR SEARCHES AND ONGOING STORIES

Catch up on the Ancient World http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/archives/ancient-world/

Play with it! NBC has a cool search: http://www.nbcnews.com/search/


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+Court

Storms 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.

CVN'S History
by jdb_educator, CVN Editor

The Weekly News has changed. We will honor the history as we move forward. It is now one of the Cybertown Daily News Archives.

Recruiting Writers, Graphic Artists, Tech specialists and Collaborators!

Over the years, we have discovered a lot of talented people who never thought they could write, edit, or have the fun of producing web stories people would read. We offer free training and publishing opportunities.

We have always recruited, we always will. Unpaid jobs are ALWAYS available.

There is the possibility that we will come up with a project idea that will pay, and participants in such a project would also get paid. So bring your dreams and let's chat!

See our "You Can Contact us" section for ways to get in touch. The section is located at the very top in the left column. Once you contact us, we also have Skype and a phone # for possible follow up.

CVN's Voyage
by jdb_educator, Editor

The number of our publications and sites will continue to expand as new writers, bloggers, and commentators join us. Each project we create or in which we are involved will have its own page linked to the indexes of our publications.

We DO need your help to spread the word to anyone interested or your friends and acquaintances who might be interested.
