The Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM) in Redding, California, advised students, faculty and staff to shelter-in-place on October 2, and moved classes to a virtual learning model. Students and school employees were asked to stay home and quarantine themselves. “During this shelter-in-place, students have been asked to self-quarantine, regardless of whether or not they are experiencing symptoms. Students have been instructed to only leave home for essentials, not participate in any social gatherings, and not visit any local non-essential businesses or public spaces,” according to a statement on the church’s website....

The survey, which was conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and published Wednesday, found that at least 30 percent of respondents have indicated that they definitely will not, or probably will not, receive the inoculation. Among those surveyed, 15 percent said they were certain they won’t get vaccinated, while 17 percent said they probably won’t. The poll surveyed 1,055 U.S. adults from January 28 through February 1....

While it is clear that the three COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use in the United States are highly effective at preventing disease—particularly serious cases and deaths—the science is not yet settled on the question of transmission. Nevertheless, experts say there is evidence to suggest that these vaccines do reduce infections. Scott Halpern, an intensive care physician and epidemiologist at the University of Pennsylvania, told Newsweek, this evidence comes in three main forms....

That was when the Cowboys signed Brandon Weeden, knowing even then — with Kyle Orton’s return up in the air — that the Browns’ recent first-round flop might be their safety net for a quarterback coming off back surgery for the second straight offseason. MORE: Give Eagles edge, even with Mark Sanchez | Cardinals home in on Super Bowl The job fell to Weeden Sunday at home against the Cardinals, and the result was no surprise: The only touchdown he generated was in the final minutes after the game was decided, and Dez Bryant didn’t have a catch until then, either....

Yet, at the same time, it’s not that hard to believe, considering the Cowboys’ plight during his time there. He’s coached the Cowboys for 6 1/2 seasons. Only two coaches in the NFL divisional playoffs have less experience, and those two (the Texans’ Bill O’Brien, the Falcons’ Dan Quinn) are also the only ones with less playoff experience. One of the coaches with more of both, the Packers’ Mike McCarthy, will be on the opposite sideline in AT&T Stadium on Sunday....

Both were considered second-round gambles for vastly different reasons — Gregory because of a battle with substance abuse that eventually led to three suspensions, Smith because of a devastating left knee injury in his final college game. With the Cowboys (11-6) headed to a divisional playoff game Saturday night at the Los Angeles Rams (13-3) on a team with a defense-first identity, Gregory and Smith are looking more like second-round payoffs....

Elliott, selected fourth overall by the Cowboys in the 2016 draft, officially became a holdout when he didn’t report for the opening of Dallas’ training camp in Oxnard, California. It’s not clear how long Elliott’s holdout will last, but ESPN reported Tuesday that Elliott’s representatives told the Cowboys he won’t play this season without a new contract. Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones later in the day said the the ultimatum is “news to us and it certainly doesn’t change anything,” while also describing Dallas’ offer to Elliott as “very generous....

A deal could be finalized Thursday, according to ESPN.com. MORE: Angry, vengeful QBs could be league’s best in 2016 Foles, who was released by the Rams on July 27, has other suitors in the Vikings and Chiefs. But the Cowboys are the most logical choice with the biggest need after Moore, the primary backup to Tony Romo, broke his ankle Tuesday. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Wednesday the team has spoken with Foles, who was a three-year starter for the Eagles before getting traded to the Rams....

The second-year Cardinals quarterback — who now has a 7-0 record in Jerry World dating to high school — completed just 9 of 24 passes for 188 yards and two scores to receiver Christian Kirk. That alone would have been enough to beat an anemic Cowboys team on “Monday Night Football,” but the Cardinals (4-2) poured it on for a resounding 38-10 win over Dallas (2-4). Murray displayed his elite speed throughout the game, rushing 10 times for 74 yards and another score....

The Warner Bros. film will focus on Wile E. Coyote, who decides to hire a lawyer and sue the ACME Corporation after their faulty products continue to undermine his countless attempts at catching the Roadrunner.

It marks the first time since the Portugal superstar’s first campaign at the Santiago Bernabeu in the 2009-10 season that he has failed to score 30-plus league goals – on three occasions he has netted 40 or more. Many observers believe Ronaldo to be a player who, while still technically brilliant, is in physical decline, the frightening bursts of speed and ability to effortlessly glide past helpless defenders perhaps diminishing....

The daily grind of training is very much a team effort. Having that extra push to finish the last interval of a grueling track workout or the last set of a tedious weight session can be invaluable. MORE: Track and field’s record-breaking women | How Zika virus might affect Rio Olympics Racing, however, is a zero-sum game — only one person can win the race.

Other possible symptoms include an asymmetrical face and a larger or smaller head than normal. This article discusses the common and rare symptoms of craniosynostosis and its complications. Frequent Symptoms The most frequent symptom of craniosynostosis is a misshapen head. The shape of your little one’s head depends on which type of craniosynostosis they have and which sutures fuse: Sagittal synostosis appears as a long, narrow head.

This announcement came in the form of a brief new trailer showing Crash getting smashed by a boulder from one of the earliest levels in the original Crash Bandicoot game. Besides showing off the N Sane Trilogy’s remastered graphics and new art style, the trailer offers little else beyond the game’s release date. Now that fans know when to expect the game, however, information on it could come on a more frequent basis in the months leading up to release....

Researchers studied blood samples and health data from 125 COVID-19 patients hospitalized at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as 46 people who had recovered from the disease, and 70 healthy donors. Most of the patients had symptoms when they were diagnosed with COVID-19, and around 30 percent ended up needing a ventilator to breathe. Eighteen of the participants died over the course of the study, which was published in the journal Science....

The Cowboys kicker has been wearing the same cleats on game days since 2011, but the cleats likely won’t last too much longer. MORE: Packers vs. Cowboys: Picks, predictions and odds He plans on taking his duct-taped and super-glued cleats to a lengthy playoff run with hopes that it will turn into a Super Bowl bid. “It’s exciting. It’s hard to get here,” Bailey told the Star-Telegram. “This is my second time....

Elliott showed off a “Feed Me” tattoo on his stomach during Sunday night’s prime-time game against the Rams. The tattoo features a spoon next to the lettering. The Ohio State product is off to a strong start in 2020, delivering a receiving and rushing touchdown in the first half against Los Angeles. While the Dallas offense is more geared to pass the ball effectively than it was a couple of years ago, he remains a steady force on the ground....

Dallas has agreed to a five-year extension worth $64 million with $35.5 million guaranteed, owner Jerry Jones announced in a press conference Tuesday. Smith was in the final year of the four-year, $6.49 million contract he signed with Dallas when he was drafted by the team in the second round in 2016. He missed all of the following season as he was drafted soon after he suffered a horrific leg injury in the final game of his career at Notre Dame....

Dalrymple is also facing accusations of being the cause of a 2016 settlement between the team and several cheerleaders, ESPN reported. He allegedly entered the cheerleaders’ locker room in 2015 and held his phone from behind a partial wall, which was seen by the cheerleaders as they were undressing. The organization later paid a $2.4 million confidential settlement to some of the women, who agreed to not publicize the incident....
