After less than eight hours of deliberation, the jury found Scott Peterson guilty of murder in the first degree in the death of his wife, Laci Peterson, and murder in the second degree in the death of his unborn son, Conor. In a murder mystery that lasted nearly two years, the announcement of a guilty verdict was met by the cheers of hundreds of followers of the trial who waited anxiously outside the federal courtroom in Redwood City, Calif. And across the nation, thousands more sat captivated in front of their televisions as all the major networks -- CNN, Fox News, CNBC, to name a few -- counted down the minutes until the trial's live audio feed at 4 p.m. EST.

While hospitals across the country continue their battles with blood shortages, the American Red Cross last week completed yet another successful blood drive at Dartmouth. Hundreds of students, professors and local residents volunteered to give their blood and their time to help save lives. Fortunately, organizations like the American Red Cross and others collect annually over 15 million units of blood, a substantial step in the direction of satisfying the needs of patients across the country. Unfortunately, the federal policy on blood donor eligibility is one of bias and exclusion.
