THE WEEK IN REVIEW: DECEMBER 9-15, 2012

The thoughts and prayers of The Free Choice E-zine's staff go out to everyone affected by events at the Sandy Hook Elementary School December 14, 2012.

Amongst events happening around the world this past week...
* Seven adults and 20 students at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut lost their lives when a lone gunman broke into the school to kill his mother as part of a vendetta to wipe out his family before taking his own life.
*The musical group Los Lobos celebrates their 40th anniversary this month.
*"The Tallow Candle" an until now unknown early work of author Hans Christen Anderson, has been found in Denmark.
*The National Hockey League has officially canceled all events for the remainder of 2012, due to the unsettled players/owners lockout.
*Sitar artist and classical composer Ravi Shankar, has passed away.
*For those interested, it has been revealed that Sir Paul McCarntey's performance fee for the 2012 Olympics in London, England was just One Pound. He originally offered to perform for free, but legal regulations would not allow him to do so, hence the token gratuity.
*Civil unrest continues in Afghanistan and Syria.
