NEW YORK, NY, June 19, 2013 (Press-News.org) Lee Westwood Golf School students honored with FCWT awards. Gary Daoust awarded First Team All-American, 16-19 age division and prestigious "Player of the Year". Connor Chesky awarded Second Team All-American, 13-15 age division.
Future Collegians World Tour concluded their tournament season with an awards ceremony at the historic PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The PGA National championship course is ranked among the top 10 hardest courses played by PGA Tour professionals, thus making it exceptionally challenging tournament for youngsters in order to test their game and abilities. Each year the FCWT hosts a year end dinner and awards banquet to recognize the junior tour players and their families.
This year two Lee Westwood Golf School students received awards. Gary Daoust was awarded First Team All-American in the16-19 age division and the prestigious FCWT "Player of the Year" in the Eastern region. "The Boys 16-19 division First Team was especially strong this year, making the process of selecting a Player of the Year quite a challenge. The young men selected this season have demonstrated excellent consistency in their golf performance. Gary Daoust, our East Region "Player of the Year", had two wins and finished in the Top 10 in all 8 of his FCWT tournament appearances," said FCWT Staff. Connor Chesky was awarded Second Team All-American in the 13-15 age division. During 2012-2013 Chesky earned his first win at Falcons Fire and it was the very first win recorded by a student of the Lee Westwood Golf School-Orlando. The Lee Westwood Golf School-Orlando opened in 2012 thus making this an even more impressive achievement in that they are producing winners in their first year. Located in Apopka, Florida it is the first and only Lee Westwood Golf School in the USA, to add to Lee Westwood Golf School's other 3 locations in the UK.
"It is very gratifying to be able to contribute to the development of young golfers and help them fulfill their dream to play golf at the highest level," said Lee Westwood when he learned of the news.
Lee Westwood Golf School Director of Instruction, Bryan Van Der Riet, said, "What an amazing story and year it has been for our inaugural school year! We could not have asked for any better men and woman as students to start the growth of our school. We have youngsters that truly have the passion and desire to further develop their golfing and academic achievements. This is the first of many years to come with a combination of higher education and a program that is truly personalized and individualized to the student."

OHSU review: Previous studies overstated evidence on Medtronic spinal fusion product
2013-06-18
PORTLAND, Ore. — An analysis by the Evidence-based Practice Center at Oregon Health & Science University has found that previously published clinical trial studies about a controversial bone growth product used in spinal surgeries overstated the product's effectiveness.
The OHSU analysis found the product offered no real benefit over bone grafts traditionally used in such surgeries and also found that previous studies had underreported harms that occurred in the studies. All but one of those studies were funded by the product's manufacturer, Medtronic.
The OHSU review ...
UT Arlington provides first academic study of journalists and private citizens' drone use
2013-06-18
Newly published research from a University of Texas at Arlington communication team offers a groundbreaking perspective on the controversial use of unmanned aerial vehicles in journalism and mass communication, or "drone journalism."
The remotely guided aircraft gained prominence in the military's hunt for suspected terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Such drones can be large, some about the size of small planes, which operate at higher altitudes and serve various functions.
Domestically, much smaller drones have been used to capture photographs and video images on ...
Working backward: Computer-aided design of zeolite templates
2013-06-18
HOUSTON -- (June 17, 2013) -- Taking a page from computer-aided drug designers, Rice University researchers have developed a computational method that chemists can use to tailor the properties of zeolites, one of the world's most-used industrial minerals.
The research is available online and will be featured on the June 21 cover of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Journal of Materials Chemistry A. The method allows chemists to work backward by first considering the type of zeolite they want to make and then creating the organic template needed to produce it.
The findings ...
IQ link to baby's weight gain in first month
2013-06-18
New research from the University of Adelaide shows that weight gain and increased head size in the first month of a baby's life is linked to a higher IQ at early school age.
The study was led by University of Adelaide Public Health researchers, who analysed data from more than 13,800 children who were born full-term.
The results, published in the journal Pediatrics, show that babies who put on 40% of their birthweight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher by the time they were six years of age, compared with babies who only put on 15% of their birthweight.
Those ...
Aspirin may fight cancer by slowing DNA damage
2013-06-18
Aspirin is known to lower risk for some cancers, and a new study led by a UC San Francisco scientist points to a possible explanation, with the discovery that aspirin slows the accumulation of DNA mutations in abnormal cells in at least one pre-cancerous condition.
"Aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are commonly available and cost-effective medications, may exert cancer-preventing effects by lowering mutation rates," said Carlo Maley, PhD, a member of the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, and an expert on how cancers evolve ...
Fibromyalgia is not all in your head, new research confirms
2013-06-18
[June 17, 2013, Rensselaer, NY] – Fibromyalgia, a painful condition affecting approximately 10 million people in the U.S., is not imaginary after all, as some doctors have believed. A discovery, published this month in PAIN MEDICINE (the journal of the American Academy of Pain Medicine), clearly now demonstrates that fibromyalgia may have a rational biological basis located in the skin.
Fibromyalgia is a severely debilitating affliction characterized by widespread deep tissue pain, tenderness in the hands and feet, fatigue, sleep disorders, and cognitive decline. However, ...
Smoking and neurosurgical outcomes
2013-06-18
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (JUNE 18, 2013). The effects of long-term cigarette smoking on morbidity and mortality have long been known. In a more immediate sense, smoking in the days and weeks before surgery can lead to morbidity and complications for many surgical procedures. In this review, researchers from the University of California San Francisco and Yale University examined the surgical literature and, specifically, the neurosurgical literature to characterize the impact of active smoking on neurosurgical outcomes. They found strong evidence for the association between smoking ...
Which qubit my dear? New method to distinguish between neighbouring quantum bits
2013-06-18
Sydney: Researchers at the University of New South Wales have proposed a new way to distinguish between quantum bits that are placed only a few nanometres apart in a silicon chip, taking them a step closer to the construction of a large-scale quantum computer.
Quantum bits, or qubits, are the basic building blocks of quantum computers - ultra-powerful devices that will offer enormous advantages for solving complex problems.
Professor Michelle Simmons, leader of the research team, said a qubit based on the spin of an individual electron bound to a phosphorus atom within ...
