news & announcements

Hello
I have a 2 questions if some one could help me please.
1) Is it possable to show different news catorgorys on different portal pages. If not is there a way to setup different forms that when posted in will show up on a certen portal pages. I know I can just go into the ACP and make a new block for each portal page, but thats not how I want it to work.
2) I have posted events in the calender. On the mini cal when I click on the past dates "lets say the 5th" it will direct me to the search "No topics or posts met your search criteria" why wont it direct me to the past event date post. When I click on a upcomming event it will direct me to the right post.
Thanks
