Auction/dinner gives a lot back
Thanks to Hitchcock Healthcare, Vindi McMaster says that her 9-year-old daughter Carley is able to walk again. After Carley was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2005, Vindi says that she and her husband Scott, left Aiken and relocated to Atlanta with Carley so that their daughter could undergo intensive care treatment, saying that Carley had suffered two strokes. Once Carley was out of the woods and no longer needed around the clock care, the McMasters' moved back to Aiken and began sending Carley to Hitchcock Healthcare as a patient of their Children's Therapy Program.

Economist who aided Canada wins top honour
Susan Athey garnered worldwide attention last week when she became the first woman to win one of the economics profession's major prizes. But her academic bona fides were already well established in Canada -- as the professor who helped design lucrative timber auctions that helped take some of the sting out of a long-standing trade dispute with the United States. The 36-year-old Harvard University professor made history on Friday when she won the prestigious John Bates Clark Medal, awarded every two years to the United States's most promising economist under the age of 40. "It's pretty incredible," Dr. Athey said yesterday in a telephone interview from her home in Cambridge, Mass., just after she and her husband succeeded in putting their two young children down for an afternoon nap.
