Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:41:21 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WSVN) — A compassionate hairstylist, Tarina Akbari, is making a meaningful impact on the lives of cancer survivors by providing free wigs. Marlaina Browning, a breast cancer survivor, expresses the profound impact of this gesture with a smile on her face as she beamed with confidence and a sense of beauty. “I feel fabulous and that’s what I want,” she said. “It’s priceless because I can go out this door knowing that I’m beautiful inside and out.” Browning, who underwent a challenging breast cancer journey, including a double mastectomy and 18 surgeries, recently had to undergo another procedure just last month while raising her son in Nassau County. “He was in 10th grade when I was diagnosed,” shared Browning. “And when you tell kids that you have cancer, especially with my son. He was like ‘Mom, you’re not gonna die, are you?’ So you know, that was a very defining moment for me b...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:41:21 GMT

The oldest rivalry in the NFL doesn’t include a team from Green Bay.This matchup began in 1920 when two professional football teams called Illinois home. That’s when the Chicago Bears, then known as the Decatur Staleys, faced the Racine Cardinals — named after Racine Avenue where their home venue was Normal Park and not for the city in Wisconsin — for the first time.The Cardinals started in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club on Chicago’s South Side before becoming the Chicago Cardinals in 1922, then moved to Missouri to become the St. Louis Cardinals in 1960, and then to Arizona in 1988. Two winning seasons were capped by championships for the Cardinals in 1925 (though it is still controversial) and 1947. These remain the franchise’s only titles.The team’s color has a history too. The Cardinals first used borrowed maroon jerseys from the University of Chicago.The Bears hold the overall advantage in the series: 60-29-6 in regular-season games. ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:41:21 GMT

There are sudden signs of positivity for the Patriots at quarterback.The Patriots still might not have their quarterback of the future on their current roster, but Bailey Zappe certainly didn’t look out of place under center in Sunday’s 26-23 win over the Broncos.Zappe’s 88.9 PFF grade was the highest mark for a Patriots quarterback since Mac Jones received an 89.9 grade two years ago in Week 17 of the 2021 season.

No date has been set.Turkey, a NATO member, has delayed ratifying Sweden’s application for more than a year, accusing the country of being too lenient toward groups that Ankara regards as threats to its security, including Kurdish militants and members of a network that Ankara blames for a failed coup in 2016.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier this month threw up another obstacle by openly linking ratification of Sweden’s NATO membership to the U.S. Congress’ approval of a Turkish request to purchase 40 new F-16 fighter jets and kits to modernize Turkey’s ex...
