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.

should i do the same with update?
sudo apt-get dist-update I should clarify.... I was not trying to upgrade to the new release. if that is what this does?

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

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:
