After the Ryder Cup I set off for a week collecting down at St Andrews at the Dunhill links championship with the intention of collecting the odd celebrity autograph and one or two pieces of golf memorabilia. After meeting up with a few fellow collectors we headed out on to the golf course to try and obtain some signed photos and collectible memorabilia. After a couple of hours in the wind and cold it was decided to call it a day and with a few golf autographs in my autograph book and a signed poster (which unfortunately got damaged in the wind). Tuesday morning was no better weather wise however there were several opportunities to collect Ryder Cup memorabilia and the occasional golf autograph.

This proved to be difficult as the team was not due to arrive until the Wednesday [url=http://www.billsfootballpro.com/Bills-Dion-Dawkins-Jersey/]Dion Dawkins Jersey[/url] , so we had to concentrate on cricket memorabilia and rugby autographs with the odd piece of movie memorabilia. Up to 5pm on Tuesday I had collected two signed movie posters, an autographed photo, and several pieces of sports memorabilia. Wednesday would hopefully bring a few Ryder Cup autographs and a team signed photograph. It is really strange how sometimes you can go out collecting and end up with something completely different, on Wednesday I tried to get a Johan Cruyff autograph and football memorabilia but ended up with several items of autographed memorabilia(a signed golf flag [url=http://www.billsfootballpro.com/Bills-Zay-Jones-Jersey/]Zay Jones Jersey[/url] , signed golf balls, autographed photos and a large collection of celebrity autographs in my autograph album). But still not any Ryder Cup autographs.

Thursday was the start of the tournament and everybody who was due to play had arrived, I succeeded in getting a Rory McIlroy autograph and a Samuel Jackson autograph to add to my autograph collection also managed to get a couple of photographs with celebrities as well as a couple of signed autographs from the Ryder Cup team. I decided to go and watch some golf as it was such a nice day and afterwards waited at the clubhouse to try and get some film memorabilia I had with me signed by Andy Garcia, but unfortunately I had missed him and would have to try again tomorrow. It was quite amazing how quick the week had passed and I had only 2 days left in which to collect my missing pieces of collectable memorabilia.

Friday was the worst day for weather at St Andrews so I decided to get closer to home and went down to Kingsbarns to collect sport memorabilia and some football autographs [url=http://www.billsfootballpro.com/Bills-TreDavious-White-Jersey/]Tre'Davious White Jersey[/url] , it was to wet to use photographs so I got a couple of signed football shirts and an autographed football jersey by Ruud Gullit. It was the first time I had ever had a Ruud Gullit autograph and it is going straight to the framer on Monday.

During the week I managed to collect quite a few new famous autographs, a selection of sport autographs including an Ian Botham autograph and a Bobby Charlton autograph which I would have to say is a beautiful signature and all in all it was a good week despite the weather not being too kind to the golfers nor the autograph collectors.

HOUSTON, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- A confirmatory test done by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) late Sunday proved a health care worker at a Dallas hospital, who cared for the deceased Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan [url=http://www.billsfootballpro.com/Bills-Tremaine-Edmunds-Jersey/]Tremaine Edmunds Jersey[/url] , is positive for the virus.

Earlier in the morning, Texas health department issued a statement, saying that the worker tested positive for Ebola in a preliminary test and that a second test was needed to confirm the diagnosis. The CDC finished the test and announced the result on Sunday afternoon.

"Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed test results reported late last night by the Texas Department of State Health Services' public health laboratory showing that a health care worker at Texas Presbyterian Hospital is positive for Ebola [url=http://www.billsfootballpro.com/Bills-Josh-Allen-Jersey/]Josh Allen Jersey[/url] ," the agency said.

The case marked the first person-to-person transmission of Ebola on U.S. soil and the second person diagnosed in the country.

The worker, reportedly a female nurse, is believed to have contracted the virus as a result of a "breach of protocol," officials said. Authorities did not name the exact kind of breach [url=http://www.billsfootballpro.com/T-Shirts/]Cheap Buffalo Bills T-Shirts[/url] , but epidemiologists speculate it could happen during kidney dialysis,respiratory intubation and removal of contaminated gears.

The nurse was in full protective gear when providing care to Duncan, the Liberian visitor who was diagnosed to be the first U.S. Ebola patient on Sept. 30 and died Wednesday.

Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC [url=http://www.billsfootballpro.com/Hoodie/]Cheap Buffalo Bills Hoodies[/url] , said in a press conference that the nurse's colleagues who also cared for Duncan could become infected as well because they might have the same kind of breach in protocol. Until the source of the caregiver's exposure is determined, Frieden said, the CDC is recommending that the number of health care workers who treat potential Ebola patients be kept to a minimum.

The caregiver is among 19 medical staff at the Dallas hospital who had close contact with Duncan after he was hospitalized on Sept. 28. They are asked to do self-monitoring and report to authorities once they find any signs of the disease.

Meanwhile, authorities are tracking those who had contact with the nurse after she began showing symptoms. It's believed that there is only one person who certainly had close contact with her and that person has already been quarantined.

Health officials are also keeping close watch on 48 people who may have had contact with the deceased patient Duncan. None of them so far have shown any signs of the disease. Their observation will be lifted on Oct. 19 when the incubation period of the illness is supposed to end.

Ebola is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids of an infected symptomatic person or through exposure to objects that have been contaminated with infected secretions. The virus can incubate as long as 21 days.
