Social media mourns death of Jimmy Carter
SEATTLE — Starting this spring, the University of Washington will try a new approach to helping students and employees in mental health crises, based on a philosophy that’s become increasingly mainstream: Mental health professionals are better equipped than police to respond to some emergencies. In emergencies that don’t involve a safety risk, a new campus crisis response team will respond with, or instead of, the UW Police Department to support students, faculty and staff experiencing acute mental health crises. The team aims to deescalate crises and help the person in crisis connect to other services. Programs that send mental health professionals to respond to crises as a supplement to or replacement for police officers have grown in recent years. Seattle is planning to expand its pilot program that sends crisis responders to some 911 calls. King County recently expanded its program that sends mobile crisis teams, dispatched by 988 calls, to mental health emergencies around the county. Applying the idea to college campuses is newer. A 2023 report from students at UW’s Evans School of Public Policy and Governance identified similar crisis response programs at eight universities around the country; the oldest program, at Johns Hopkins University, launched in August 2021. Traditionally, police and fire have responded to mental health crises because they’re set up as 24/7 systems, UW Counseling Center director Natacha Foo Kune said. UW leaders hope the new program will provide another tool that’s better suited to respond specifically to mental health emergencies. “Now that it’s becoming more of a common issue, we need to think through, what’s the next system that makes sense to address that?” Foo Kune said. “This is the experiment we want to participate in to be able to respond to mental health crises on our campus.” After the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked significant protests against police violence in the summer of 2020, then-UW President Ana Mari Cauce announced that the university would begin “reimagining” campus safety and the best way to respond to emergencies. A university working group began examining how to best support people in acute mental health crises, said Sally Clark, vice president of the division. “Some of that was from things that folks had seen or experienced at UW over the years, but I think it was also just part of the broader evaluation of what happens outside of this community,” Clark said. “Too often, law enforcement is called on to respond, and too often law enforcement has found that they’ve not been well equipped in order to have the response that they want to have, let alone the response that the community wants to have. And in some of those cases, there have been really tragic results for everybody.” The university created a new Division of Campus Community Safety in 2022 to house three different organizations doing similar work: SafeCampus (the university’s violence prevention and threat assessment team), Emergency Management (focused on disaster preparedness and crisis communications) and the UW Police Department. Right now, 911 calls lead to a response by UW Police, which has jurisdiction over campus and university-owned buildings in the University District. UW Housing and Food Services also employs two care specialists who support the more than 9,000 students who live on campus. The care specialists mostly respond to mental health concerns, including depression and sometimes suicidal ideation, but also support students experiencing roommate conflicts, homesickness or other mental health challenges, director of Residential Life Vicki Vanderwerf said. They help connect students to on-campus resources so they can progress toward graduation. Here’s how Clark anticipates the new crisis response team will work: When a call comes in to 911 or the UW Police nonemergency line, dispatchers will ask callers about the situation and assess whether there are safety risks that require police response. If the emergency seems mental health-related but doesn’t present safety risks, a team of two mental health professionals will respond, aiming to stabilize the situation and connect the student, faculty or staff member to resources like the campus counseling center. The workflow sounds straightforward, but Clark knows it will require building trust with dispatchers and law enforcement. Residential Life staff and professors may also make referrals to the team. “I don’t think you can do it without collaboration: figuring out how these calls work best for everybody, that ensure everybody’s safety and ensure the most effective response is happening for both the individual and the community,” Clark said. “I think law enforcement has to be in the room to collaborate on that.” There are still questions to be ironed out before the program’s planned launch in the spring: What will the hours be? How will the crisis responders collaborate with the existing Housing and Food Services care specialists? Where will students or employees be referred to if they require more intensive mental health care? The university is hiring a program manager for the new team, who will help hire crisis responders and find the answers to these questions. Clark hopes the team will have a “soft rollout” in the spring 2025 quarter, continue streamlining its work over the summer with fewer students on campus and be ready to fully operate in the fall. Oregon State University, which has run a campus crisis response program since fall 2022, has provided valuable lessons for UW as it plans to launch its program. The four-person OSU Assist team responds to calls on campus involving mental health and wellness where there is no reported violence or weapons. The most common calls are student mental health crises, including thoughts of suicide or panic attacks, director of Student Care Services Aubrie Piper said. The team has also conducted welfare checks, supported survivors of gender-based violence and helped students who are going through housing or financial insecurity. Learning how to coordinate a response between crisis responders and the university’s department of public safety has been a learning process, Piper said — the different teams have to determine who’s taking the lead if they respond to a call together. “We’ve continued to navigate and learn together just how to do that choreography,” Piper said. “As folks build trust and learn the different strengths that folks have in crisis calls, we’ve seen that evolve really positively, especially in the past year and a half.” The team received 152 calls in the 2022-23 school year, and that number jumped to 246 calls the next school year. Eighty-four percent of calls were students, and 16% were faculty, staff or community members. UW also plans to support faculty, staff and community members with its crisis response team. A team from UW visited Oregon State this fall to help understand the structure and what to expect. “We often think about students in one way with a certain set of resources, and then employees in another way with a certain set of resources,” Glenna Chang, UW’s associate vice president for student life, said. “This is going to be an interesting blending of supporting our community members.” Focus groups have shown that OSU students see the crisis response team as an “invaluable resource,” Piper said. Two years in, they’re thinking about how to expand; right now, the team operates from 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. every day. Partnering with the university to be a practicum site for graduate students studying social work or counseling could be one option, Piper said. Building awareness is also a key focus — particularly since the idea of crisis response as a “fourth branch” of emergency response, in addition to police, fire and emergency medical services, is still fairly new to the general public. “The ecosystem of crisis response has been predominantly reliant on the three branches that have already existed,” Piper said. “It’s taking some time to really build (alternative response) into muscle memory and culture knowledge, and that can’t be built overnight.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!Russian Migrants Not Allowed Entry at Otay Mesa Border Crossing, Attorney Says
From heatless curls to wet-to-dry stylers, 2024 was the year of healthy hair and getting maximum impact with minimum effort. Technology played a big part thanks to smart, versatile tools like the and AI-powered personalization, while products like the shone a spotlight on the importance of looking after your scalp. Style-wise, icy blondes, fiery reds, '60s-style blowouts inspired by Sabrina Carpenter and a continued love for textured waves proved popular. And ingredients like glycolic acid, collagen, ceramides and even mushrooms made their way into more and more haircare products. As we look to 2025, this focus on hair health is set to stay. Stylers and services will become even smarter, and tailored to our individual hair needs, while the release of infrared dryers will ramp up following launches from and L'Oreal. To learn more about these hair trends, I've spoken to Bellissima's Assunta Trano and T3's Jen Ju as well as celebrity and award-winning stylists Jay Birmingham, Neil Moodie Studio, and Heather King from ENA Salon, London. Plus I've thrown in a few of my own predictions as someone who's been reviewing the and the (amongst other hair gadgets and products) for almost a decade. Let's take a look at the hottest hair trends set to take off in 2025... 1. The rise of infrared A handful of infrared hair dryers have made their way to market over the past few years but following the launch of in November, expect to see this technology take over styling world in a much bigger way in 2025. Unlike traditional dryers that use heat and airflow to evaporate water from the surface of your hair, infrared dryers work by penetrating your hair shaft with gentle radiant heat, effectively drying your hair from the inside out. This not only protects your hair's natural moisture and minimizes frizz, but it helps reduce the risk of heat damage without sacrificing drying speeds. Far from it, in fact – L'Oreal Professional and Zuvi, two of the biggest brands to have launched infrared dryers recently, claim the technology can cut drying times by more than a fifth. These stylers also come with ionic technology, which smooth the hair cuticle and neutralizes static, helping to add to the sleek and shiny finish. Elsewhere, Bondi Boost sells the – a barrel brush styler that uses infrared technology to gently style your hair, with aloe-infused bristles to smooth and tame flyaways. 2. Hair health and scalp-first haircare In a similar vein, hair health generally – whether it's through infrared technologies, or heatless styling, science-backed products or just a greater awareness – is set to dominate in 2025 and beyond. "Over the past few years, we’ve seen consumers become more conscious about the damage they're doing to their hair," says Assunta Trano, Marketing Director at Bellissima. "This has seen trends such as heatless curls emerge as we try to limit the damage we’re doing to our hair while still trying to get the most out of styling it. Heat styling has had to follow suit and, in 2025, will emphasize safety and hair protection." Bellissima recently released its with Coanda technology, which generates 200 micro-flows of air to create waves and curls gently, with less heat. All T3 dryers now have SoftAire Technology built-in, which uses a wider, gentle air stream with ions to protect the natural moisture in hair, while more brands are introducing lamellar technology to their products to leave hair looking and feeling healthy. The term 'lamellar' refers to the thin, liquid layers (or lamellae) that form when these products are applied to the hair. These layers contain conditioning agents, amino acids, and moisturizing ingredients that bond to damaged areas of the hair cuticle, leaving it looking shiny and feeling healthy. L'Oreal was an early champion of this technology with its and more brands have since come on board, including Tresemmé with its . And at the heart of this healthy hair trend is the sub-trend of scalp-first tools and products. "Your scalp is the real MVP of healthy hair, and 2025 is all about giving it the love it deserves," says celebrity hair stylist, Jay Birmingham. "People are 'skinifying' their hair routines because a healthy scalp equals fabulous hair." 3. Perfume meets haircare The fragrance boom of 2024, fueled by 'perfume tok' and the rise of designer dupes, is set to go a step further into hair in 2025. Unlike traditional perfumes, which often contain alcohol and can dry out strands, hair perfumes are specifically formulated to condition and smooth the hair while making it smell nice. As stylist King explains: “Hair scents are becoming a way to express individuality, just like regular perfumes, while offering functional benefits.” This trend is part of a wider movement that is seeing haircare moving further into the beauty space. At the same time, hair scents reflect a growing focus on multi-purpose products: they condition, control frizz, and leave hair shiny – all while smelling good. 4. Hair growth tech "The number one hair health concern among consumers is hair loss and thinning hair," according to Jen Ju, Marketing Director at T3. "We've seen supplements and scalp products become popular, and haircare and hair tool brands are now prioritizing minimizing heat and including features like timers and auto-pause to help address this concern." As a result, in 2025, expect to see more products, tools and treatments that target hair loss more directly. This will range from low-level laser therapy (LLLT) scalp massagers like the and , to LED combs, and microcurrent devices such as the and . LLLT devices use red or near-infrared light to stimulate hair follicles, increase bloodflow, and encourage your hair to grow. Many are hands-free, meaning you can wear them as you go about your day – although maybe not to the store! – and with consistent use a few times a week, they've been shown to improve hair density and thickness (as per and ). Microcurrent devices instead use low-level electrical currents to stimulate the scalp and hair follicles. This also helps promote circulation and boosting follicle health in a similar way to LLLT products but the results typically take a little longer, which is why these products tend to be cheaper. At the cheaper end of the price spectrum are physical scalp massagers and LED combs. These work in the same way, in terms of promoting circulation, but at a much lower level. That said, pairing any of these tools with scalp serums, probiotics, and treatments can help speed up the results, and this whole trend is part of the recent 'skinification' of haircare in which more of us realize we need to treat the skin on our scalp in the same way we treat the skin on our face. 5. Beauty meets data Haircare hasn't escaped the AI boom and in 2025, smart apps, AI-powered devices and customized products will help us all understand our hair on a much deeper level. From analyzing moisture levels, porosity, and scalp condition, to crafting hyper-specific routines that address our individual need, AI is making waves in the haircare space. “AI is turning bathrooms into personal labs, and consumers love beauty that ‘gets’ them,” continues stylist Birmingham. This shift reflects a wider demand for precision and performance in beauty products, with generic shampoos and conditioners are being replaced with data-driven, customized formulas tailored to specific goals, like hydration, volume, or damage repair. "Curly hair, specifically, faces issues like dryness, frizz, and shrinkage and consumers are constantly looking for targeted solutions that enhance their natural curls while keeping them healthy," adds Trano. "We've seen this trend developing with the rise of curl-specific haircare brands and tools that have features like gentle airflows and advanced diffusers that maintain curl shape and reduce frizz. The growing focus on curly hair technology and products shows how the industry is moving towards becoming more inclusive and offering customized solutions." This includes brands like , which creates custom shampoo, conditioner and hair mask formulas based on your answers to an online quiz about your hair type, goals, fragrance and even color. offers a similar customized approach, using an in-depth consultation and AI to also consider lifestyle, location – to determine humidity, and pollution levels – and individual hair characteristics to create hyper-personalized products. Elsewhere, brands are increasingly adding AI-powered smart sensors across their ranges that automatically monitor and adapt heat and airflow based on real-time hair diagnostics. GHD's most recent stylers, including the and Duet Style, constantly monitor the temperature using sensors fitted throughout their ceramic plates. This means they know the angle and speed at which you're using the styler, and will adjust the heat to deliver faster performance. Elsewhere, the L'Oreal AirLight Pro's settings can be controlled and personalized in an app. In 2025, such sensors and app-powered controls will become more intelligent, and more commonplace being able to automatically make adjustments to actively improve your hair, not just prevent damage. 6. Bobs, layers, and waves make it big Finally, haircuts and styles in 2025 will focus on bold yet wearable looks such as jaw-length 'sci-fi bobs' with choppy fringes. Think Milla Jovovich in . Neil Moodie Studio predicts that modern versions of the '90s-inspired 'Rachel' cut – which involves layers and face-framing, inspired by Rachel Green’s iconic cut in is set to make a comeback. "Expect 2025 to be a year of self-expression through sharp cuts, bold layers, and statement colours," the stylist says.Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 's remaining links to two other members of the Royal Family will likely not be enough for them to renew their Netflix contract , which is nearing its end, a royal commentator has claimed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a five-year contract with the streaming giant back in 2020, after they stepped down as senior working royals. The deal was reportedly worth an estimated £80million ($100million). Since then, the couple have produced and released three series for Netflix via Archewell - their docuseries, Harry and Meghan, as well as Heart of Invictus and Live to Lead. They've also got another two shows coming up , Polo, set to be released in December , and a cooking show curated by Meghan, with its release date still unknown. But as the Sussexes's Netflix contract is nearing its end, a royal commentator claimed that it will unlikely get renewed due to the couple's strained relationship with the Royal Family and the lack of interest from the public towards their projects outside of their royal life. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News : "Consider the position they are actually in, they only get on with Meghan's mother (Doria Ragland), Princess Eugenie and perhaps Princess Beatrice . "It is a very curious situation and it does not look well if they monetise their royal connections. "I think it might well have happened anyway as you cannot persist with negativity." He added: "Harry has got the problem with Polo that it is an elitist sport so it is not likely to do wonders. "But what they do want is the Netflix contract renewed, whether that is renewed is pivotal for the Sussexes and they do not know at the moment." Polo is set to be released on December 10, according to Netflix . The streaming giant uploaded a trailer for it last week and said: "Polo, a behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced and glamorous world of the sport, is coming to Netflix on December 10. "Follow elite global players on and off the field as they compete in the high-stakes U.S. Open Polo Championship.

KyKy Tandy scored a season-high 21 points that included a key 3-pointer in a late second-half surge as Florida Atlantic roared back to beat Oklahoma State 86-78 on Thursday in the opening round of the Charleston Classic in Charleston, S.C. Florida Atlantic (4-2) advances to play Drake in the semifinal round on Friday while the Cowboys square off against Miami in the consolation semifinal contest, also Friday. Oklahoma State led by as many as 10 points in the first half before securing a five-point advantage at halftime. The Owls surged back and moved in front with four and a half minutes to play. It was part of an 11-1 run, capped by a 3-pointer from Tandy that made it 75-68 with 2:41 remaining. Ken Evans added 14 points for Florida Atlantic, with Leland Walker hitting for 13 and Tre Carroll scoring 11. The Owls went 35-of-49 from the free throw line as the teams combined for 56 fouls in the game, 33 by Oklahoma State. Khalil Brantley led Oklahoma State (3-1) with 16 points while Robert Jennings added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Cowboys, who hit one field goal over a 10-minute stretch of the second half while having three players foul out. The Owls were up by as many as seven points in the early minutes and by 13-10 after a layup by Carroll at the 11:32 mark of the first half. Oklahoma State leapfrogged to the front on Abou Ousmane's layup off a Brantley steal, fell behind again on a 3-pointer by Evans and then responded on a 3-pointer by Jennings to take a 17-16 lead. From there, the Cowboys stoked their advantage to double digits when Jamyron Keller canned a shot from beyond the arc with five minutes to play in the half. Florida Atlantic got a layup and a monster dunk from Matas Vokietaitis and a pair of free throws from Walker in a 6-2 run to end the half to pull within 39-34 at the break. Jennings and Ousmane tallied seven points apiece for Oklahoma State over the first 20 minutes, as the Cowboys led despite shooting just 33.3 percent from the floor in the half. Carroll and Vokietaitis scored seven points apiece to pace the Owls, who committed 11 turnovers that translated to seven points for Oklahoma State before halftime. --Field Level MediaHail Flutie: BC celebrates 40th anniversary of Miracle in MiamiJimmy Carter, the 39th US president, has died at 100 ATLANTA (AP) — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died. He was 100 years old and had spent more than a year in hospice care. The Georgia peanut farmer served one turbulent term in the White House before building a reputation as a global humanitarian and champion of democracy. He defeated President Gerald Ford in 1976 promising to restore trust in government but lost to Ronald Reagan four years later amid soaring inflation, gas station lines and the Iran hostage crisis. He and his wife Rosalynn then formed The Carter Center, and he earned a Nobel Peace Prize while making himself the most internationally engaged of former presidents. The center said he died peacefully Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his family. Jimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’ PLAINS, Ga. (AP) — The 39th and longest-lived U.S. president, James Earl Carter Jr., died Sunday at the age of 100. His life ended where it began, in Plains, Georgia. He left and returned to the tiny town many times as he climbed to the nation’s highest office and lost it after four tumultuous years. Carter spent the next 40 years setting new standards for what a former president can do. Carter wrote nearly a decade ago that he found all the phases of his life challenging but also successful and enjoyable. The Democrat's principled but pragmatic approach defied American political labels, especially the idea that one-term presidents are failures. The Latest: Former President Jimmy Carter is Dead at age 100 Former President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100. The 39th president of the United States was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government when he assumed the presidency in 1977 and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in Plains, Georgia. Carter was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 1977, after defeating President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 general election. He left office on Jan. 20, 1981, following his 1980 general election loss to Ronald Reagan. Jimmy Carter: A brief bio Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died at his home in Plains, Georgia.

Jetliner skids off runway and bursts into flames while landing in South Korea, killing 179 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A jetliner skidded off a runway, slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames in South Korea after its landing gear apparently failed to deploy. Officials said all but two of the 181 people on board were killed Sunday in one of the country’s worst aviation disasters. The 737-800 operated by Jeju Air plane arrived from Bangkok and crashed while attempting to land in the town of Muan, about 290 kilometers (180 miles) south of Seoul. Footage of the crash aired by South Korean television channels showed the plane skidding across the airstrip at high speed, evidently with its landing gear still closed. Tornadoes in Texas and Mississippi kill 2 and injure 6 as severe weather system moves east HOUSTON (AP) — A strong storm system is threatening to whip up tornadoes in parts of the U.S. Southeast, a day after severe weather claimed at least two lives as twisters touched down in Texas and Mississippi. Strong storms moving eastward Sunday are expected to continue producing gusty, damaging winds, hail and tornadoes through Sunday. That is according to National Weather Service meteorologist Frank Pereira. So far, the line of severe weather has led to about 40 tornado reports from southeastern Texas to Alabama, Pereira said, but those reports remain unconfirmed until surveys of damage are completed. Israeli hospital says Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — An Israeli hospital says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery. Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center said his prostate was removed late Sunday and that he was recovering. Netanyahu’s office had said Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close ally, would serve as acting prime minister during the procedure. Doctors ordered the operation after detecting an infection last week. Netanyahu is expected to remain hospitalized for several days. With so much at stake, Netanyahu’s health in wartime is a concern for both Israelis and the wider world. Syria's de facto leader says it could take up to 4 years to hold elections BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s de facto leader has said it could take up to four years to hold elections in Syria, and that he plans on dissolving his Islamist group that led the country’s insurgency at an anticipated national dialogue summit for the country. Ahmad al-Sharaa, who leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the group leading the new authority in Syria, made the remarks in an interview Sunday. That's according to the Saudi television network Al-Arabiyya. It comes almost a month after a lightning insurgency led by HTS overthrew President Bashar Assad’s decades-long rule, ending the country’s uprising-turned civil war that started back in 2011. A fourth infant dies of the winter cold in Gaza as families share blankets in seaside tents DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — A fourth infant has died of hypothermia in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by nearly 15 months of war are huddled in tents along the rainy, windswept coast as winter arrives. The baby's father says the 20-day-old child was found with his head as “cold as ice” Sunday morning in their tent. The baby’s twin brother was moved to the intensive care unit of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Their father says the twins were born one month premature and spent just a day in hospital, which like other Gaza health centers has been overwhelmed and only partially functions. Musk causes uproar for backing Germany's far-right party ahead of key elections BERLIN (AP) — Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has caused uproar after backing Germany’s far-right party in a major newspaper ahead of key parliamentary elections in the Western European country, leading to the resignation of the paper’s opinion editor in protest. Germany is to vote in an early election on Feb. 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalize the country’s stagnant economy. Musk’s guest opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag, published in German over the weekend, was the second time this month he supported the Alternative for Germany, or AfD.
No. 9 SMU aims to improve playoff odds vs. CalEmboldened by the view from the top of the NFC North, the Detroit Lions are out to eliminate nightmare holiday gatherings when the Chicago Bears come to town Thursday for a lunchtime division duel. The Lions (10-1) are streaking one direction, the Bears (4-7) the other in the first matchup of the season between teams on opposite ends of the division. Riding a nine-game winning streak, their longest since a 10-game streak during their first season in Detroit in 1934, the Lions are burdened by losses in their traditional Thanksgiving Day game the past seven seasons. Three of the defeats are courtesy of Chicago. The Bears and Lions get together for the 20th time on Thanksgiving -- the Bears have 11 wins -- this week in the first of two meetings between the teams in a 25-day span. Detroit goes to Soldier Field on Dec. 22. "I think there's two things," Campbell said of the Thanksgiving losing streak. "Number one -- Get a W. And it's a division win that's why this huge. Number two is because the players are going to get a couple of days off. So, they have family, friends in, it'd be nice to feel good about it when you're with everybody because it's just not real fun. It's not real fun to be around." Detroit (10-1) owns the best record in the NFC but the Lions aren't even assured of a division title. Minnesota sits one game behind them and Green Bay is two games back. The Bears (4-7) sit in last place and would likely need to run the table to have any chance of making the playoffs. The Lions have been dominant in all phases and haven't allowed a touchdown in the past 10 consecutive quarters. Detroit's offense ranks first in points per game (32.7) and second in total yardage (394.3) The Lions defense has not given up a touchdown in the last 10 quarters. Rookie placekicker Jake Bates has made all 16 of his field goal attempts, including four from 50-plus yards over the past three games. Chicago shows up in a foul mood. The Bears are saddled with a five-game losing streak and Chicago's defense has been destroyed for nearly 2,000 total yards in the last four games. The Bears failed to reach the 20-point mark four times in five outings since they last won a game. In their latest defeat, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense perked up but they lost to Minnesota in overtime, 30-27. "We have to play complementary football for us to be able to win these games," coach Matt Eberflus said. "The games we have won, we have done that. The games we have been close we've missed the mark a little bit. Over the course of the year, it's been one side or the other, this side or that side. In this league you have to be good on all sides to win. That's what we are searching for." Williams threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. The wide receiver trio of DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Romeo Odunze combined for 21 receptions and two touchdowns while tight end Cole Kmet caught seven passes. "What I've been impressed with is just how he has grown," Campbell said. "He has grown every game but these last two I really feel like he's taken off and what they're doing with him has been really good for him and he just looks very composed. He doesn't get frazzled, plays pretty fast, and he's an accurate passer, big arm, and he's got some guys that can get open for him." Detroit's banged-up secondary could be susceptible against the Bears' veteran receivers in their bid to pull off an upset on Thursday. The Lions put two defensive backs on injured reserve in the past week and top cornerback Carlton Davis isn't expected to play due to knee and thumb injuries. Detroit offensive tackle Taylor Decker (knee) and top returner Kalif Raymond (foot) are also expected to miss the game, though Campbell expressed optimism that running back David Montgomery (shoulder), formerly of the Bears, would play. Bears safety Elijah Hicks was listed as a DNP for Tuesday's walkthrough. --Field Level Media
ROME (AP) — Robert Lewandowski joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the only players in Champions League history with 100 or more goals. But Erling Haaland is on a faster pace than anyone by boosting his total to 46 goals at age 24 on Tuesday. Still, Haaland's brace wasn't enough for Manchester City in a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord that extended the Premier League champion's winless streak to six matches. Lewandowski’s early penalty kick started Barcelona off to a 3-0 win over previously unbeaten Brest to move into second place in the new single-league format. The Poland striker added goal No. 101 in second-half stoppage time. Ronaldo leads the all-time scoring list with 140 goals and Messi is next with 129. But neither Ronaldo nor Messi play in the Champions League anymore following moves to Saudi Arabia and the United States, respectively. The 36-year-old Lewandowski required 125 matches to reach the century mark, two more than Messi (123) and 12 fewer than Ronaldo (137). Barcelona also got a second-half score from Dani Olmo. The top eight finishers in the standings advance directly to the round of 16 in March. Teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a knockout playoffs round in February, while the bottom 12 teams are eliminated. Haaland converted a first-half penalty to eclipse Messi as the youngest player to reach 45 goals then scored City's third after the break to raise his total to 46 goals in 44 games. Ilkay Gundogan had City's second. But then Feyenoord struck back with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko. Inter Milan beat Leipzig 1-0 with an own goal to move atop the standings with 13 points, one more than Barcelona and Liverpool, which faces Real Madrid on Wednesday. The Serie A champion is the only club that hasn't conceded a goal. Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 — the same score from the 2020 final between the two teams. PSG ended with 10 men and remained in the elimination zone. The French powerhouse has struggled in Europe after Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid. Atalanta moved within two points of the lead with a 6-1 win at Young Boys. Also, Arsenal won 5-1 at Sporting Lisbon; and Bayer Leverkusen routed Salzburg 5-0. AC Milan followed up its win at Real Madrid with a 3-2 victory at last-place Slovan Bratislava in an early match. Christian Pulisic put the seven-time champion ahead midway through the first half by finishing off a counterattack. Then Rafael Leao restored the Rossoneri’s advantage after Tigran Barseghyan had equalized for Bratislava and Tammy Abraham quickly added another. Nino Marcelli scored with a long-range strike in the 88th for Bratislava, which ended with 10 men. Bratislava has lost all five of its matches. Argentina World Cup winner Julian Alvarez scored twice and Atletico Madrid routed Sparta Prague 6-0 in the other early game. Alvarez scored with a free kick 15 minutes in and Marcos Llorente added a long-range strike before the break. Alvarez finished off a counterattack early in the second half after being set up by substitute Antoine Griezmann, who then marked his 100th Champions League game by getting on the scoresheet himself. Angel Correa added a late brace for Atletico, which earned its biggest away win in Europe. Atletico beat Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round and extended its winning streak across all competitions to six matches. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
