This year the Logan baseball team has many expectations. They finished first in MVALs last year with an undefeated record and hope to do well in the upcoming season with the help of their second baseman, senior Michael Johnson.

Johnson has been on the varsity team since his freshman year. However, he didn’t play much because of the depth Logan has had in the middle infield the past two seasons. Still, Johnson plans to have a breakthrough season this year and show why he has been on Varsity for the past two years.

A major trend taking over the fashion scene this fall is vintage apparel. One way to channel this look is by wearing lace. The history of lace dates back to the Victorian era (1837 – 1901) of England. Royals and the upper class society saw lace as a luxury textile. This trend had a rebirth in the 1980’s thanks to Madonna, and once again the ever popular trend is back.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In a glassy conference room alongside a Sacramento River levee, a committee of 25 people struggled Thursday to do what Californians have never been able to do before: reach agreement on how to drink from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta without killing it.

After meeting for four years and spending $140 million, the committee drafting the Bay Delta Conservation Plan aimed Thursday to complete a "Nov. 18 draft" of their progress so far. This odd name for the document reflects the enormous stakes in crafting a plan that meets two goals: restoring the delta ecosystem and building a pair of tunnels or canal to ferry its water elsewhere.

Rapunzel, the girl locked in a tower with only her long, golden locks for company, gets a sassy, spirited screen treatment from Disney with "Tangled," an animated fairytale musical from the Not Pixar corner of the company.

Disney has turned her into a missing princess — naturally — and it's not a prince who waits below and calls out "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair." Her hair has magical powers of healing in this version, but only if she doesn't cut it. Otherwise, they play the story pretty much straight out of the Brothers Grimm.

Soldiers pull up a magical flower to help an ailing queen through a difficult childbirth. But the witch who needs the plant to stay young steals the royal infant in revenge and raises the child as her own, never letting Rapunzel leave her high tower in the middle of the forest.
