Bible changes
A new edition of the Old Testament will soon be released.
Known as the “New American Bible Revised Edition”, this revision will replace some words in favor of more modern vocabulary.
Words such as “booty” and “virgin” no longer bear the same meaning as when the last edition of the New American Bible was released 40 years ago.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops approved the New Bible’s changes.
It will soon be available on paper, digitally, and as a cellphone app.
Frank Ocean
Odd Future member Frank Ocean is a strange fellar, and I don't mean physically. The man's lyrical approach, as well as musical choices, sets him apart from all of those major label backed crooners you may perchance encounter on a lonely Friday night on MuchMusic. The agony and the ecstacy of being Frank Ocean are fully exposed on this 40-minute romp; the private highs and lows of Ocean's heart are exposed, dissected and brought forward for the listener to assess. Also, where else can you check out an album that (illegally) samples heavily from The Eagles’ “Hotel California”, MGMT's “Electric Feel,” as well as a bevy of other hot, original beats?
Whereas most ladies' men brag endlessly about their ability to entertain/please (Jamie Foxx's recent street single “Yep That's Me” comes to mind), Ocean brings something rare to the table: earnestness. Unlike a Foxx or an R. Kelly, however, Ocean devotes an equal amount of time to crooning about being without love and the pain associated with it.
Dreamy opener “Strawberry Swing” acts as a perfect statement of purpose, discussing the lost innocence of youth for damn near four minutes. With that out of the way, Ocean spends the rest of the album exploring what occurs from that point onwards.
Second track, “Novacane,” starts the set in an earnest manner. The track's pulsating, bass-heavy keyboards and bouncy percussion set the tone, as Ocean details meeting a girl at Coachella ("I went to see Jigga, she went to see Z-Trip") and the ensuing problems that occur. Subsequent track “We All Try” has Ocean dropping lines about his beliefs when it comes to love, but also throws the listener curveballs with lines like, “I don't believe our nation's flag is on the moon.” It's this kind of inventive wordplay that makes listening to Ocean such an intriguing prospect; you're never quite sure where he's going all of the time, but damn is it an entertaining journey.
“Lovecrimes” sounds as if Ocean decided to take Kanye West's “Love Lockdown” instrumental and update it with an actual lyrical narrative, as well as pleasing vocal melodies. Ocean decides to up the ante by sneaking in various dialogue samples low in the mix that work well against the beat and force the listener to repeatedly listen to the song in order to decipher what's going on deep in the mix.
Album standout “American Wedding” (with the aforementioned Eagles sample) explores the various implications of long-term commitment, telling a taut story of to be and to be without through its 7-minute runtime. It is epic in scope, as well as being a testament to Ocean's ability to sustain an interesting narrative for so long.
All in all, a tight, out-of-the-gate showing from someone who is poised to do big things if he continues on this level of lyrical and musical excellence.
And on top of all that, you could get it for free, Earl. (Download link)

The four men face a total of 36 counts of fraud.
Police have been investigating the scandal-ridden television production company for nearly a decade.
Cinar was internationally renowned for producing such shows as Caillou and Arthur.

Charest is happy to be out of countersuit
Premier Jean Charest said on Tuesday that he is happy to no longer be the target of a countersuit. The premier and his former justice minister, Marc Bellemare, announced Monday that they have dropped their lawsuits against one another.
Last April, Charest launched the Bastarache commission after Bellemare made allegations that political influence played into the naming of Quebec Court judges. It was headed up by retired Supreme Court justice Michel Bellemare.
The day after the commission was announced, Charest launched a $700,000 defamation suit against Bellemare. He said Bellemare had called him a liar. Bellemare countersued the premier for $900,000.
Last January, the Bastarache commission, which cost a total of $4.8 million, found that Bellemare had not backed up his claims.
But polls afterwards stated that most Quebecers believed Bellemare over the premier.
