Apple Unveils New Fall Lineup

By Ian McClellan ’16 Staff Writer Tuesday, Apple held an event revealing their latest projects. Here is everything you need to know.

A New Look - Apple has continued growing the size of the screen and slimming the iPhone. The iPhone 6 has actually been slimmed to the point where the camera lens protrudes from the back. This time they’ve also rounded out the edges and made the parts blend together.

Bigger is Better - This year, Apple announced two new iPhones, the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. These two have screen sizes at 4.7 and 5.5 inches, respectively. This size effectively makes the iPhone 6 Plus the iPad minimini, even allowing for you to turn the phone sideways

into landscape mode at the home screen. Apple has upped the resolution to match these new sizes, so that text, video, and images will continue to look as sharp as ever.

Point and Shoot - This year’s iPhone camera features faster autofocus, faster HDR, image stabilization, and slower slow-motion video. Basically, your iPhone will continue to take the same, beautiful pictures it always has, and you can now watch your golf swing twice as slow as you could with the iPhone 5s.

Burning a Hole in Your Wa l l e t - T h e i P h o n e 6 features Apple’s attempt to get rid of your wallet, ApplePay. Inside the top of the iPhone, Apple added an NFC antenna to let it communicate with specialized pay terminals. Effectively, at

The Record more and more places every day, you’ll be able to touch your iPhone 6 to a card reader and buy things.

Watch Out - Today, Apple announced their foray into wearable spaces with the Apple Watch. This gorgeous new accessory comes in two sizes and a small variety of bands and finishes. While the full specs and details haven’t come in yet, it will be coming in early 2015 for $349 and according to Tim Cook, “is worth the wait.”

TL, DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read) - Apple announced two new iPhones that are bigger, slimmer, faster, and generally better, including the camera.

The iPhone 6 is more rounded, is made of stronger materials, and can act like a credit card. Early next year, Apple will have a watch coming out.

Cross Country Places 6th; Team Is Awesome

By William Whaley ’15 The Priory cross country team had a meet at Jefferson Barracks Park last Friday, September 5th. With over three hundred runners in a combined JV/Varsity race, the starting line was crowded with eager competitors, all thirsting for victory. Eighty-seven brave Priory athletes surged forward at the sound of the gun to form the legendary Red Sea. This Red Sea, the pride of Priory cross country, and a nightmare to other teams, made up the entire right side of the race for the first four hundred meters.

Immediately after, such leaders as Jake Drysdale, George O'Sullivan, and Thomas

Lowell sped forward to confront the runners at the front of the pack. At the one mile mark, each member of the top seven was in a solid position, battling it out with their respective opponents. The top seven all gained several places by the finish, with many members racing and passing nearby runners in the last four hundred meters. In 18th place, Jake Drysdale finished first for Priory with a stellar time of 18:53. George O'Sullivan finished second for Priory with a time of 19:31. Just behind them were Thomas Lowell at 19:50, William Whaley at 20:17, and Parker Dow at 20:36. Rounding out our varsity top seven were Alex

Lowell and Kyle Flores at 20:45 and 20:54, respectively.

Priory placed 6th out of 20 teams present including some of the best teams in the state.

We also finished better than some of our fellow Metro League members MICDS (10th), Lutheran South (11th), and Lutheran North.

We have another meet this Saturday, September 13th at Forest Park. This is the flattest course we run, so it produces some of the fastest times of the season. JV runs at 9:30 in the morning; Varsity runs at 11:45. Come out if you want to see one of the largest, fastest, and most exciting races of the season.

By Robert E. Donnelly III ’15 Editor in Chief For music fans, there may have been no greater news on Tuesday afternoon than the surprise release of U2’s new album, Songs of Innocence, five years in the making. What was already fantastic news was made even better when it was announced that the album was free, that’s right FREE, on iTunes, and already in the cloud awaiting download.

While the uninformed are accusing U2 of a ‘sellout’ there could be nothing further from the truth. Bono and U2 certainly aren’t desperate for cash, and as one of the most popular rock bands in history, the boys from Dublin chose this path for their album release to “get it to as many people as possible, because that’s what our band is all about,” says Bono. One of the only remaining bands who could still easily sell a couple million records, U2 chose to accept some form of compensation from Apple and distribute their music to over half a billion subscribers. With the help of outside producers Danger Mouse and OneRepublic frontman, Ryan Tedder, U2 brings a revitalized, fresh style to their signature sound with Songs of Innocence.

T h e M i r a c l e ( O f J o e y Ramone) – This album has a h e a v y f o c u s o n t h e bandmembers’ teenage years in Dublin, and the opening track covers all the bases of B o n o ’ s m u s i c a l b i r t h , particularly The Ramones. “I found my voice through Joey Ramone,” says Bono. “I sang like a girl – which I’m into now, but when I was 17 or 18

I wasn’t sure. And I heard Joey Ramone… and that was my way in.”

Every Breaking Wave – This song is pure, classic U2. A s o n g a b o u t l o v e , relationships, and all the complications that go with, this powerful ballad blends the U2 you know and love with some deKinite Klares from Danger Mouse’s pop-­‐ minded inKluence.

California (There Is No End to Love) -­‐ Is this the Beach Boys I hear? The layered synth vocals open with “Bar-­‐Bar-­‐Barbara, Santa Barbara.”

The happiest song on the album, the tune is sure to put you in a California m i n d s e t -­‐ inspired by t h e j a w -­‐ dropping beauty a n d f e e l i n g o f endless possibility.

Song for Someone -­‐ A beautiful acoustic start and clear, beautiful lyrics bring the feeling of new love, especially by the time the second chorus bursts out.

Bono’s nearly operatic voice gives life to the touching track.

Iris (Hold Me Close) -­‐ A deeply emotional track about the loss of Bono’s mother, Iris Hewson, this personal track reKlects on the rage that inevitably follows grief and loss. As Bono screams, “Hold

me close / I’ve got your life inside of me,” you can almost feel his pain physically. This song perfectly captures the emotions associated with the loss of a loved one, and is a deKining point in both the album as a whole, and Bono’s songwriting.

Volcano -­‐ A perfect segue from the end of Iris, Volcano explodes into your ears with a heavy, pulsated, d r i v i n g b a s s . P o s s i b l y developing on the rage felt in the previous track, Volcano is an aptly named song.

Raised by Wolves -­‐ This song is based o n a c a r bombing that took place in D u b l i n .

B o n o remembers t h e d a y vividly: “On a n y o t h e r F r i d a y , I would have been at this record shop, but I cycled to school that day. The bomb tore apart the street. I escaped but one of my mates was around the corner with his father, and it was a very hard thing for him to witness and I’m not sure he really got over it.”

My personal favorite track on the album, Raised by Wolves is a killer, energizing song that’s sure to be a hit.

Cedarwood Road -­‐ Bono’s childhood street. His childhood address was 10 Cedarwood Road, Dublin, Ireland. This is The Edge’s time to shine with heavily

Hot night, wind was blowin’

distorted and choppy electric guitar in the intro and chorus. The Edge employs an almost bluesy, White Stripes-­‐ esque riff that is absolutely to die for.

Sleep Like A Baby Tonight -­‐ This song is a deKinite throwback to U2’s Lemon days in the late 80s and early 90s. Produced solely by Danger Mouse, this haunting, almost disco, club sounding tune sees Bono’s old falsetto coming through to create a cool new sound for U2.

This Is Where You Can Reach Me -­‐ In their teens, all the members of U2 were into punk rock. The Ramones were mentioned in the title of the Kirst song, but this song was inspired by a Clash concert that the band attended in 1977. You should deKinitely be able to hear the Clash inKluence, but notice how U2 did a good job of not sounding too similar.

The Troubles -­‐ With the trippy, echoing vocal “somebody stepped inside your soul,” to lead off the tune and also throughout, Bono reKlects on his own p r o b l e m s a n d u l t i m a t e r e d e m p t i o n i n a n introspective jam to end the album.

Whether or not you are a fan of U2, I highly recommend this album. After all, it’s already on your iTunes cloud waiting to be downloaded and enjoyed.

4 Periodical Science How are pigeons like humans? They’re annoying, they sleep in my attic, and as it turns out, they understand risk. This may not sound too crazy: even a rat understands to some extent when it’s a bad idea to go near some food if there is a cat s t a n d i n g ov e r i t . B u t pigeons have a much more developed and human-like understanding.

For example, humans are known to be risk averse for gains, which essentially means if we win $50 and someone offers us a 50% c h a n c e at d o u b l e o r nothing, most of us will stay where we are and not take the chance. But for losses, humans are risk seeking, that is, if we had the choice we would rather take a coin flip to p ay $ 1 0 0 o r n ot h i n g , instead of pay a safe $50.

Pigeons, it turns out, were able to weigh the possibilities of a risk using the same idea. In tests where they were taught to expect certain values of food from doors, they rarely took a risk with an unfamiliar door. And in cases of scary sounds a n d l i g h t s a n d ot h e r pigeon-risks, they would always take a chance on a door they knew could be worse or harmless than one they knew would be bad.

PERIODICALS Saint Louis Somebodies

By Connor Wright ’16 Photojournalist

"I've been homeless ever since both my parents passed away. It's been really hard since then. People just look at me like I'm not human. They treat me like I don't have the same rights as they do, just because I have one less home and a little less brains."

"You said you've been homeless ever since your parents died. What year did they pass away?"

"Ohh, only 3 or 4 years ago. 1978."

“The saddest moment of my life occurred about five years ago. My best friend was shot and killed. He was a priest, and while he was working in the rectory of his church in Arizona, a robber came in and shot him.

“What effect has his death had on your life?”

“At first, it caused me to turn away from God. I couldn’t comprehend how a man of the Lord was shot and killed.

I couldn’t believe that God took away the most important person in my life. After a while though, I realized that I was taking the wrong approach. As a matter of fact, I am now closer to God than I have ever been before. The event opened up my eyes to the corruption of the world, and to the many people who choose evil over God. I turned back to God and then prayed even harder to make sure I stayed on the right path. The event also made me realize how much those who choose evil need all of our prayers and forgiveness. Especially those willing to steal from a church, and kill a priest to do so. I forgive the man who killed my best friend. Forgiveness is so important when it comes to letting go and being happy again. Never turn away from God in the darkest hour, for that is when you need to pray the most. And never think God has wronged you. He loves you more than anything.”

Where you think you’re going, baby?

Bojack Horseman Review

By Patrick Shanahan ’17 Staff Writer In the past few years, Netflix has churned out quite a few original series, largely a result of their massive influx of money from streaming contracts. House of Cards, Hemlock Grove, Orange is the New Black, Knights of Sidonia, and the reboots of Arrested Development and The Killing are just a few. However, none of these really caught my interest leading up to their release (I had not yet watched Arrested Development before Season 4 was released, so there wasn’t much hype). But, a little animated comedy caught my attention in early promotion: a story that follows a down-onhis-luck sitcom actor from the 90s, 20 years following the show’s prime... also he’s a horse. The cast features Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, Aaron Paul, and many

others, all talented in their own right. It seems like a regular, animated, dysfunctional family sitcom, right? Here’s the catch: this show completely breaks the mold set by its contemporaries.

Let me explain.

The first few episodes are pretty ordinary for this type of show.

The characters and general plot are set up, and everything returns to normal by the end of the 25-minute timeslot. The jokes are non-stop. Most hit, but some don?t. This seems pretty average, but here is where the show twists. About 6 episodes in, a series of events (no spoilers) begin to occur that send Bojack down a path of regret and misfortune. The character changes drastically from the aged, flawed, hedonistic, and generally unpleasant character you meet at the beginning, into a relatable and hilarious protagonist on a quest for self worth. This transformation really pays off.

The characters learn, change, and grow; each of them morphing from stereotypes into three-dimensional people (or anthropomorphic animals).

This show transcends the genre’s norm. Not only is it bitingly funny, but the story is also brilliant. Side characters are hysterical, like Pinky Penguin, Todd Jumbo-Gumbo, Quentin Tarantulino, and c h a r a c t e r a c t r e s s M a rg o Martindale. The cast members deliver excellent performances, particularly Arnett, who shines as the titular character. The show pokes fun at Hollywood stereotypes like the obsessive agent, crazy former child star (Miley Cyrus), and obtuse anchorman, putting unique spins on each that are fresh and exciting. There are even some terrific cameos from Naomi Wa t t s , K e n J e o n g , J o h n Krasinski, and Stephen Colbert.

The only real complaints I have are that some of the characters

come off as annoying when their jokes become overdone; resolutions aren’t always satisfying, and the shows end on huge cliff hangers. In the end, I am just left wanting more.

To keep things as short as possible, Bojack Horseman is a show that needs to be watched by fans of Family Guy, The Simpsons, and South Park who want a little more. It is also necessary viewing for fans of dry humor, puns, and classic stereotypes. I cannot praise this show enough for what it is. It?s only 12 episodes long; it’s on Netflix, and it’s excellent.

There is no good excuse for not watching. It’s also perfect binge-watching material due to its length. I can?t wait for Season 2, due late 2015 - early 2016. I give Bojack Horseman an 8.5/10.

Michael Blogs: Fantasy Football

By Ramzi Haddad ’16 Staff Writer Fantasy football is the most competitive thing someone can do in his or her underpants while on the couch watching TV. So, naturally, I play. I am an incredibly competitive person, so I’m obviously quite good at it.

Fantasy Football is not a game of luck - it is an art form. There is no “passion for the game” involved at all. I couldn’t care less about the Rams, but I do care about LeSean McCoy’s bye week. The secret to winning fantasy football is trading. Not to brag, but here I go. I have won my league two

out of the last four years, so if I win this year, I will become the majority leader of the league (which means absolutely nothing, but absolutely everything #contradictionz).

So, now I am going to give you the Ramzi Haddad rules of trading.

Trade based on the first week, as that is a perfect representation of what is going to happen for the whole season.

For example, Dez Bryant didn’t score a TD in his game, so sell him low and try for a good value kicker or defense.

Propose ridiculous trades and whittle them down until the

other person accepts your crappy trade.

If option two isn’t working, annoy the other person and subtly convey that the only way to get you to leave them alone is by accepting the trade.

Try to talk about seemingly unrelated things, and then connect the trade in a wild fashion to distract from your awful trade.

Befriend the commissioner.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE THE COMMISSIONER. The commissioner gets so much controversy thrown his way, and you want to be everyone’s friend. The commissioner is

Hey, I just met you

never everyone’s friend, mostly because people suck at fantasy football and want to blame others. However, if you are friendly with the commissioner, you can get your terrible trades pushed through Congress much like they do in House of Cards. If you don’t watch House of Cards, don’t speak to me.

If you are good at fantasy football, you get respect, and can influence others in their decisions, which will obviously help you. Fantasy football is a cutthroat game, and it is not for the non-manipulative, kind, or those prone to guilt. Welcome to the league boys, welcome to the league.

Rare Virus Spreads Through Missouri

By Robert Erbs III ’15 Content Editor A respiratory virus is beginning to spread through Missouri and ten other states that is sending kids to the hospital with severe respiratory symptoms. This virus, Enterovirus D68, has hit Missouri especially hard, with 300 suspected cases in one Kansas City pediatric hospital, and more being reported every day across the state.

Enteroviruses are very common, and it is estimated that there are 10 to 15 million enterovirus infections in the United States that are closely related to the common cold.

Enterovirus outbreaks normally start during the summer and fall when kids go back to school.

This Enterovirus, EV-D68, is a rare enterovirus that, before today, has only popped up in isolated areas. There have been small clusters of this enterovirus during 2008-2010 in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. These cases have shown that EV-D68 can cause respiratory illness severe enough to incur hospitalization, especially in kids suffering from asthma.

The virus’ most notable symptoms are wheezing and asthma exacerbation. Many kids have been hospitalized

due to complications with asthma and many have been sent to intensive care units.

Currently, we don’t know much about the virus. All that we know are the symptoms.

There is currently no vaccine or cure; all hospitals can do is treat the symptoms. No data is currently available about the mortality of this virus. This shouldn’t cause too much concern, and only people with severe respiratory illnesses need to be hospitalized. Most people who become infected will only experience some wheezing and common cold symptoms. Since there is no way to treat the virus itself, the

best plan to decrease the spread of the virus is good hygiene.

Basic practices like the washing of hands and being careful around people who are experiencing symptoms of the virus should be sufficient.

The reason why this virus is spreading so quickly is because it is most prevalent in children, ages three to five. It is still significant, though, because the virus has been seen in teenagers up to 18 years old.

Considering the risks to any asthmatic students, we should all be especially careful this cold season and be considerate to our fellow students.

Soccer Club Transfers

By Alexander Hill ’15 Content Editor O n A u g u s t 3 1st, t h e transfer deadline for soccer clubs passed. Many big names swapped teams.

Luis Suarez to Barcelona In the 2013/2014 Premier League season, former Liverpool man Luis finished as the league’s top scorer. Luis was on track for a strong World Cup campaign over the summer, but suddenly decided to bite Giorgio Chiellini, thus ending his World Cup and earning him a lengthy ban from all footballing activities.

Although it’s hard to say how he will perform, because he has been unable to play with Barça due to this ban, one can only assume that a player of his caliber will perform extremely well.

Diego Costa to Chelsea Spanish money-grabber Diego Costa decided to depart Atletico Madrid, despite winning La Liga and making it to the Champions League final.

As he was searching for a club where money-grabbers like him could feel at home, was there any better club for him to choose than Chelsea?

Unfortunately, Costa has had a strong start to the season with the Blues and his run of form will likely continue on.

Angel Di Maria to Manchester United This was a smart move for both Angel and Manchester United.

Ancelotti more or less forced Angel to leave by bringing in too many rival players for him to compete with. Manchester is a dying club in need of fresh, attacking talent, so this move makes sense. Angel isn’t exactly known for being

strong, which could be a challenge for him in the highly physical and technical Premier League. If Van Gaal uses his talents wisely, I think that Angel can flourish at Manchester United.

Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal When I saw the headlines saying, “Sanchez to Arsenal Officially Complete,” I was weeping tears of joy. Alexis is one of my favorite players, and I was ecstatic to see him go to my favorite club. Alexis’ flashy and fancy style of play fits excellently with the style of Arsenal, a club known for their beautiful, flowing football. He has made a strong start to the season, scoring two goals, as well as making an assist in his Premier League debut. I predict Alexis to have a fantastic time with my beloved Gunners.

But here’s my number

Radamel Falcao to Manchester United This deal, coupled with the transfers of Rodriguez and Riviere, makes me think that the manager for AS Monaco may have recently sustained severe brain trauma that is causing him to randomly send away all his best players.

Although Falcao is leaving on a loan deal, this still makes no sense to me. Anyway, the attacking lineup of RvP, Rooney, Di Maria, Falcao, and Mata is enough to strike terror into the hearts of any defense.

This deal is very good for United, as they now have THREE world-class striker options.

Other notable deals: Welbeck to Arsenal Rodriguez to Madrid Kroos to Madrid Luiz to PSG Alonso to Bayern

Ask Stew

Mistborn: The Final Empire

I, Stew, am proud to announce a new column being introduced to the Record this year, Ask Stew. In this weekly article I will answer any and every question that you, the students, ask me. Since this is my first appearance, I am going to go ahead and answer the questions on everyone’s minds.

Who is Stew?

Well, I’m afraid I am going to have to keep the student body in the dark on this one, but I can tell you that you are not alone. There are only two people who know my true identity. They are of the utmost elite in our society, Nancy Drew and George W. Bush.

How can I ask questions?

It’s very simple. Just send an email to askstewrecord@gmail.co m and an answer to your question very well may be in the next installment of Ask Stew.

By Andrew Swyers ’15 Staff Writer Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson is a fantasy book that features an interesting setting, an excellent cast of characters, and an interesting magic system for a backdrop of the relatively common plot of overthrowing a tyrannical government. Despite the common premise, the novel explores a reality different from our own that captures the effects of magic in society and the consequences of actions. Scadrial, the name of the world, is covered in ash from the numerous ashmounts, volcanolike mountains that spew ash. The ash also blocks out some of the sun, so only the hardiest plants can survive. The world is also divided into strict classes with the nobility having control over the people called skaa, who are

basically slaves. The world is divided into several regions, but the story focuses on the capital city of Luthadel. In addition, the empire is stuck in an odd state of technology because the emperor, called the Lord Ruler, suppresses any and all military advancements. For example, canned food exists but gunpowder is unheard of. The Final Empire also feature a complex magic system revolving around metals, and the main characters are capable of “burning” metals to gain abilities, such as increased senses, or manipulate their environments in various ways.

The first part of the book consists of gathering together a group for the eventual goal of attempting to overthrow the corrupt government, adding many elements of a heist movie to the book, such as assembling a team that possess various skills. The

Sanderson also is unafraid to throw readers into the middle without much exposition, expecting the reader to figure it out as he goes along. At the same time, the young character allows us to discover more about the world without feeling like the exposition. The characters are deep, with complex backstories and often possess a gray view of morality. The Final Empire also deals with class struggle and the willingness to try, even against huge and seemingly insurmountable odds. The book does start off a little slowly, but the crescendo it builds is well worth it. The book is over 500 pages long, so it may be too much for some readers. You can find The Final Empire in our library.

Sanderson has also written two sequels and a stand-alone several hundred years after the events of the third book.

Varsity Soccer Update

By George Ahlering ’16 Staff Writer After capping off a 17-8 season last year with a heavily stacked senior team, the Rebels are back for the 2014 season and are ready to shock everyone. Upon looking forward to this year, the odds were not in the Rebels favor, or so everyone thought. The loss of fourteen seniors hasn’t seemed to impact the thinking of any varsity players, as they only have one thing on their mind: winning.

The Rebels are led by the senior captains Ryan Mulqueeny, Dan Kelly, Blake Anselm, and Brenden Kolthoff. The junior group, largely inexperienced in Varsity play, is led by George O’Sullivan and goalie, Drew Sewall. The sophomores have also worked hard to prove

themselves capable of filling the gaps in the team. Sophomores Alex Mellas and Will Hanley made an immediate impact on the team with their consistently strong play.

After 3 weeks of hard pre-season training, the Rebels started their season with the Metro League To u r n a m e n t o n August 23rd against Whitfield, outplaying them for a 4-0 victory. The first week was hit with three weatherrelated game delays, so with almost a full week gap between the first and second games, Priory played a very impressive Westminster team on Friday August 29th , and again went on to a victory of 2-0. In the

So call me, maybe!

tournament finals, the Rebels went up 2-0 versus Lutheran South, only to let up their first goal via a very controversial penalty kick call in the last five minutes of the match. On September 2, the Rebels faced off against the Holt soccer team, and despite miscommunication and poor play, controlled the game and eventually won 2-0.

Already plagued with injuries including Michael Donovan, Chris Holland and Adam Ezzelgot, the Rebels have proven to be able to pull in players from the bench and still retain their peak form. All in all, the 2014 varsity soccer team is extremely capable of having a successful season.
