When I run update & upgrade in terminal..... why do I still have updates listed in update manager after they complete?

Enter this command and see if you still have the same problem:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Just doing an apt-get upgrade doesn't install some packages.

By default, it doesn't upgrade the distro itself, it is just a more intelligent form of "apt-get upgrade".
Here is some detailed clarification to your doubts, and explanation of the command that Old_Gray_Wolf suggested:
