Good News of 2014

As we near the end of 2014, many media site will be airing their news roundups of the year. I just saw one on the Today Show. #ICYMI you can watch it here:  http://www.today.com/video/today/56633061
There was so much negative in the mix that I thought we could all use some good news stories.

Here are a few that I found on GatesNotes.com:  
The number of deaths of children under age 5 is falling faster than projected!
 2014 was a tipping point in the fight against AIDS with more people getting treatment than were infected.
The rotavirus vaccine is reaching more children and saving children's lives worldwide.
There was a breakthrough in Tuberculosis research leading to new treatment regimen.
