Updated at 1:56 p.m. ET (CBS/AP) MOSCOW – A Moscow judge sentenced three members of the provocative punk band Pussy Riot to two years in prison on hooliganism charges on Friday following a trial seen around the world as an emblem of Russia’s intolerance of dissent. The trial inspired a wave of small but raucous protests across Europe and North America in support of the feminist rockers, who have been dubbed prisoners of conscience by Amnesty International. Hundreds of Pussy Riot supporters waiting outside the Moscow courtroom chanted “down with the police state” when the sentence was announced. Dozens were detained, including several opposition leaders. The three women were arrested in March after a February guerrilla performance in Moscow’s main cathedral where they high-kicked and danced while singing a “punk prayer” pleading with the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Vladimir Putin, who was elected to a third term as Russia’s president two weeks later.

The movie mold for 놀이터 검증 사이트 Santa was established by Gwenn in 1947’s “Miracle on 34th Street.” Richard Attenborough did a sturdy take on Gwenn’s character in a 1994 remake, while Ed Asner played an endearingly way-worn Santa in Will Ferrell’s 2003 comedy “Elf.” “Lions For Lambs” Treads Softly Allen has been the modern standard-bearer, playing a mortal who inherits St. Nick’s job in 1994’s “The Santa Clause.” He reprised the role in two sequels, done up in the classic trappings of the ruddy-faced Santa. “When I’m up there in full regalia, in the full coat and beard, you think, it’s Santa,” said Allen, whose “The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause” debuts Nov. 20 on DVD. “The look we went for is like the Santas on the Coca-Cola tins from the early 1900s. That’s the Santa I responded to.” Even Allen acknowledged he had big boots to fill in Gwenn’s...

But even the staid CMA is good for the occasional twist or two, and this year’s best bet might be Vince Gill, who’s nominated for album of the year for his ambitious four-disc set, “These...
