Megan's Law will stay on the books in New Jersey.
The Supreme Court rejected a constitutional challenge to the law, which
requires authorities to tell communities the whereabouts of convicted sex
offenders.
It's been adopted by 36 other states.
Lawyers for sex offenders had argued that the notification
measure violates the Fifth Amendment's protection against being
punished twice for the same crime.
Megan's Law is named for Megan Kanka. She's the seven-year-old
girl who was raped and murdered in 1994 by a twice-convicted sex
offender who lived across the street from her home.

Karen's donated blood was brought to U-V-A from a cord blood bank in New York

Then a cell counts is done to tell the doctor how many cells per kilogram of
blood the patient is getting during the transfusion.
The process is fairly simple from there, the placenta and cord blood is
infused into her central line which goes into one of her main veins.
One clinical advantage is the blood is plentiful, but there are disadvantages
because the amount of blood is limited for a larger patient.
