BAFTA Winners List
http://movies.yahoo.com/news/bafta-awards-gravity-12-years-slave-looking-boost-190110972.htmlTop 50 Living Actors of 2014

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. http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-news/the-50-greatest-actors-alive--the-complete-list-230844756.html We did find: http://www.thebest100lists.com/best100actors/ which seems to be an ongoing list vote.

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. Typhoons: Edited:http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=storms%2C+typhoons%2C+latest+news Hurricanes: Edited:
