Meanwhile, I am thrilled to share with you a great opportunity with one of our Founding Partners, the United Nations Association of New York:

"The United Nations Association of New York is pleased to open enrollment for the Worldview Institute, Winter 2013. The Worldview Institute provides a forum within which New York professionals can engage and discuss global issues with experts in foreign policy and international affairs. Its program consists of ten seminar modules geared to develop and enhance the scope of the work and activities of young business executives at U.S. based multinational corporations and young professionals within the NGO, United Nations, media, law, government, diplomatic and academic communities.

As a show of support for agencies addressing the challenges facing Baltimore's citizens, over 1,000 pink-and-green-clad members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority will fan out to organizations devoted to youth, families, the homeless, women and those afflicted with cancer. The service projects take place Friday, January 11 and Saturday, January 12.

According to Alpha Kappa Alpha's international president Carolyn House Stewart, the missions of the agencies members will serve parallel Alpha Kappa Alpha's 105-year legacy of serving all mankind. It also embraces the Sorority's theme: “Global Leadership Through Timeless Service.”

The service acts are part of the festivities surrounding the Sorority's celebration of its 105th anniversary, known as Founders' Day.

The beneficiary agencies are the Baltimore American Cancer Society Hope Lodge, Our Daily Bread, Maryland Food Bank, and My Sister's Place Women's Center.

The challenge, however, is that Tion says he was in Shock Trauma at the time of the murder he is alleged to have committed. He was in the hospital being treated for a gunshot that occurred while he was being robbed in West Baltimore.

Stay-tuned to Bmorenews.com for BREAKING NEWS on this case.

The students of the East Baltimore Community School (EBCS) never shined quite as brightly as they did this past week in a memorable Holiday production. The teacher who headed the production was educator/musician, Delandria Mills, EBCS music teacher. Along with being a flute instructor at the Peabody Preparatory in Baltimore, Mills began teaching at EBCS (K-8) this past August.

FREE AF James MacArthur Vigil/Press Conference: Thursday, December 20, 2012 :: Central Booking

AF James MacArthur is an independent journalist with "The Baltimore Spectator." He was reporting on police brutality in Baltimore when he was arrested on very tenuous charges (BMORENEWS Report from the scene During Standoff between Police and MacArthur). It is evident that police, like most perpetrators of violence, don't like the spotlight to be on them. Was MacArthur arrested because of his hardhitting exposes of police abuse in Baltimore? Is he perhaps Baltimore's Mumia Abu Jamal?

Janet Salazar, Special Representative to the United Nations and her partner, Connie Peak, were in Newtown yesterday providing outreach amidst the horrible incident which claimed several lives in Newtown last week, including children.

She said, "We were there for two days to help in grief counseling." She added, "The community needs all the love and support we can give them."
