Having read all your coverage on the turn of the millennium, and having admired your rich, inspiring photos of the world’s rituals, I can only say that the millennium would not have been the same without you (“Y2A-OK!” special report, Jan. 10). From a celebration of the century’s events, to an exhilarating and insightful vision of the issues of the future, to a humorous account of the popular millennium madness, to the false apocalyptic threats of the Y2K bug, to the philosophical reflections on what it means for our calendar to be 2,000 years old–when that final second rushed past and the fireworks blasted, in my mind was all that I had experienced as a reader of NEWSWEEK through your year-end issues....

That’s part of what Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl president and CEO Gary Stokan envisioned for the city 20 years ago. He wanted Atlanta to be the “capital of college football.” That tie between Atlanta and Saban — which Stokan said started at the 2000 Peach Bowl with LSU and served as the groundwork for the Tigers’ 2003 national championship run — continued with Alabama at the first Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in 2008....

Both bradycardia or tachycardia can produce significant symptoms. What Is the AV Node?

Despite his touchdown numbers going down, Kamara is well on track to get to over 1,000 all-purpose yards for the sixth time in his career. The Saints are still leaning on Kamara, with him getting 42 percent of their carries. He’s also second on the team in receiving yards, trailing only rookie sensation Chris Olave to this point in the year. All of this to say: The incentive to trade for Kamara is still there....

This week, Carson sat down with Stylist Magazine to discuss what life would be like in space, from the food (no bread) to the communication (Mars has WiFi) to the toilet arrangement (separate arrangements for number ones and number twos)—as well as the prospect of being the very first person to touch foot on Mars. “It fascinates me—it’s the next planet in the solar system that we really have the technology to be able to travel to,” Carson told Stylist....

‘RAW’ thoughts Am I the only one who … … has mixed feelings about “RAW” general manager Kurt Angle ordering Bayley and Sasha Banks to go to counseling? Like the live crowd, I thoroughly enjoyed Bayley snapping and beating the hell out of Banks, who certainly had it coming.

The spectacular lunar event, taking place overnight on Monday, November 8, inspired many to point their cameras upwards and start shooting at the brightly illuminated celestial objects. In each of the pictures, Jupiter can be seen in the top left corner, with Saturn appearing close to it.
