Rather than hip-hop, the genre of this album is disappointingly indeterminant. Even worse, he attempts throughout the album to showcase production involvement and half the album features odd, space-like instrumentals. Oscar favorites BY CONRAD FOREMAN AND MAYANKMATHUR According to these movie-watchers, the winning film for Best Picture should be either "12 Years a Slave" or "Gravity." The overwhelming favorite for Best Actor is Christian Bale, although Matthew McConaughey is also a fierce competitor here. "True Detective" BYCHLOEGILKE and AKSHAY SETH The latest episode of "True Detective" was weaker than previous episodes this season. Even so, the episode was vital to the plot, and it showed both protagonists coming full circle. Maggie's character, however, did not show any new development.

Jerry Brown formally launched his re-election cam- paign Thursday, stepping into a contest that the former three- time presidential candidate is ex- pected to dominate. The announcement was un- derstated - a written statement posted on his website, with an accompanying tweet - in keep- ing with Brown's reputation for shoestring-style politicking. The 75-year-old Democrat said he had filed required paperwork to seek the office and was ready to deal with a raft of pressing issues, from a potentially devastating drought to a pension system mired in long- term debt. "At this stage of my life, I can say without any hesitat am prepared and excites these challenges," said I ready the longest-servi nor in California histor is nothing I would rathe The announcement pected.

Russian military stirs chaos in Crimea after country establishes new government SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine (AP) - Masked gunmen stormed parlia- ment in Ukraine's strategic Crimea region Thursday as Russian fighter jets scrambled to patrol borders, the stirrings of a potentially dan- gerous confrontation reminiscent of Cold War brinksmanship. While a newly formed govern- ment led by a pro-Western tech- nocrat in Kiev pledged to prevent any national breakup, there were mixed signals in Moscow: Russia granted shelter to Ukraine's fugi- tive president, Viktor Yanukovych, while pledging to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity. Yanukovych was said to be holed up in a luxury government retreat and to have scheduled a news con- ference Friday near the Ukrainian border. As gunmen wearing unmarked camouflage uniforms erected a sign reading "Crimea is Russia" in the provincial capital, Ukraine's in- terim prime minister declared the Black Sea territory "has been and will be a part of Ukraine." The escalating conflict sent Ukraine's finances plummeting fur- ther, prompting Western leaders to prepare an emergency financial package. Yanukovych, whose abandon- ment of closer ties to Europe in favor of a bailout loan from Russia set off three months of protests, finally fled by helicopter last week as his allies deserted him. The hu- miliating exit was a severe blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had been celebrating his sig- nature Olympics even as Ukraine's drama came to a head. The Russian leader has long dreamed of pulling Ukraine - a country of 46 million people considered the cradle of Russian civilization - closer into Moscow's orbit. For Ukraine's neighbors, the specter of Ukraine breaking up evoked memories of centuries of bloody conflict. "Regional conflicts begin this way," said Polish Foreign Minis- ter Radoslaw Sikorski, calling the confrontation "a very dangerous game." Russia has pledged to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity But the dispatch of Russian fighter jets Thursday to patrol borders and drills by some 150,000 Rus- sian troops - almost the entirety of its force in the western part of the country - signaled strong de- termination not to lose Ukraine to the West. Thursday's dramatic develop- ments posed an immediate chal- lenge to Ukraine's new authori- ties as they named an interim government for the country, whose population is divided in loyal- ties between Russia and the West. Crimea, which was seized by Rus- sian forces in the 18th century un- der Catherine the Great, was once the crown jewel in Russian and then Soviet empires. It only became part of Ukraine in 1954 when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev transferred jurisdic- tion from Russia - a move that was a mere formality until the 1991 So- viet collapse meant Crimea landed in an independent Ukraine. In the capital, Kiev, the new prime minister said Ukraine's fu- tureliesinthe EuropeanUnionbut with friendly relations with Russia. Arseniy Yatsenyuk, named Thursday in a boisterous parlia- mentary session, now faces the difficult task of restoring stability in a country that is not only deeply divided politically but on the verge of financial collapse. The 39-year- old served as economy minister, foreign minister and parliamentary speaker before Yanukovych took office in 2010, and is widely viewed as a technocratic reformer who en- joys the support of the U.S. MARKO DROBNJAKOVIC/AP Anti-Yanukovych protestors are sitting on top of an army vehicle in front of the parliament building in the Crimea Region of Ukraine Dozens of pro- Russia protestors stormed the area early Thursday and seized local buildings.
