New data shows more than half of all violent crimes are committed by a very small numbers of offenders. Lawmakers are now working to target that tiny group. And more thoughts on legislation that would dramatically change rules on unions in Ohio.

Rinse and swab. That's what 2,300 Ohio University students, faculty and staff did last week to try to save a life. They took part in a drive to locate bone marrow donor matches for leukemia patients. The goal was to get 1,300 signed up for the National Marrow Registry. WOUB reporter Whitney Scott found that organizers were pleased that they went well over the top and participants were happy to help.
The drive was only an initial test for potential donors. Swabs will be cataloged and marked for addition to the National Marrow Registry. Ohio University volunteer Erica Cohen says it was the largest college bone marrow donor drive in history. |
