Madden 11 has the classic Madden feel with an easer interface.

The franchise, started in 1989, is now the best selling football game in the world. The most recent edition has many new features.

Madden 11 has all the basic game modes such as "play now", "franchise" and mini-games. However, the new game also has new modes such as "Madden moments". This mode allows the player to complete a challenge, which comes from certain big moments or plays during the previous season.

The rise of the digital age has influenced society in numerous ways such as new ways of acquiring information, simplifying everyday tasks and most notably transforming means of communication. But with the increase in popularity of websites like Twitter and Facebook - in addition to the subsequent increase of users online - some experts wonder if social networking is bad for the brain.

An Ohio State University study suggests that students who use websites like Facebook or Twitter had grade point averages a full grade lower than non-users. Facebook users also studied on average one to five hours a week, in contrast to the 11 to 15 hours of non-users.

Logan's annual Club Recruitment Fair was held last Thursday and Friday.

Club recruitment is a place where students can browse different clubs, enjoy good food and snacks and find out more information on clubs and groups that they are interested in.

Joining the new activities group is Monique Walton, Logan’s new activities director. She said that Logan will be hosting the fair in two different places this year, in Memorial Square and Colt Court. Logan has roughly forty returning clubs, and five or six new ones. When asked why students should join clubs, Walton said that students should join because they need a connection to other students and the school. She also said that the students should be engaged in some sort of extra-curricular activity other than just the regular academic curriculum.
