Eighty percent of cancer patients that need a bone marrow transplant never find a donor match. Only 30% of patients in need find a suitable match within their family. The chance of a patient finding an unrelated donor match is as great as 1 in 1 million.

Two weeks ago, Eleventh Grader Supada Sritanyaratana requested a bone marrow registration drive at Logan. “My family friend, Michelle Maykin, has leukemia and she just relapsed early.” Michelle is 26 years old and has acute myeloid leukemia. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy, but needs to find a bone marrow donor match by June 21.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The FBI recently issued an alert warning that wireless Internet networks, often called Wi-Fi hotspots, are more vulnerable to hackers than most users probably realize.

Wi-Fi hotspots are at airports, fast food restaurants, book stores, coffee shops, sports bars, school campuses, malls, supermarkets — just about everywhere. Several cities and neighborhoods host or plan to install networks for residents.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Buzz about the new iPhone — expected to be released in June — has less to do with the phone itself than its use of AT&T's 3G network.

That 3G network, which refers to a third generation of wireless networks, would dramatically improve the performance of some iPhone features, such as Web browsing. Apple's current iPhone uses AT&T's Edge Network, a 2.5G network that undermines some of the device's most appealing technology — such as the display of full Web pages — because of relatively slow download speeds.

Youth from all over the Bay Area joined at Amador Valley High School in Pleasanton to learn about human rights violations at the African Human Rights Conference Saturday. The event was hosted by Amador’s Amnesty International Club and focused on ways to address problems such as genocide, disease and poverty that are rampant in Africa.

The main goal of the conference was to empower youth with the knowledge they need to generate meaningful change in their communities. The high school club itself was started this year but has already reigned in much student and outside support. Amnesty International, a worldwide organization dedicated to improving human rights for all, funded Saturday’s conference through a grant.
