NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade Finally Ends Discriminatory Ban on LGBT Groups
September 3, 2014 by HRC staff
The HRC Foundation today commended organizers of the New York City St. Patrick's Day parade for taking steps to lift the discriminatory ban on LGBT groups participating in the annual march.
The parade committee announced that next year it would allow OUT@NBCUniversal, an LGBT support group at the television network that broadcasts the event, to officially participate under its own banner. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who has a long history of opposing equality for LGBT people, will lead the parade as grand marshal.
In coming years, other LGBT groups will be allowed to apply to march.
"We are pleased that the changes proposed by the parade committee will finally make it possible for LGBT Americans -- including Irish Catholic LGBT Americans -- to officially march under their own banners," said Sharon Groves, director of the HRC Foundation's Religion and Faith Program. "The discriminatory ban has been shameful, particularly in the very city where the LGBT rights movement got its start 45 years ago at the Stonewall Inn."
HRC earlier this year hailed the decisions of iconic brewers Guinness, Heineken, and Sam Adams for dropping their sponsorships of St. Patrick's Day parades that perpetuate discrimination against LGBT groups by banning their participation.
The LGBT civil rights organization also commends New York Mayor Bill de Blasio who had pledged to continue to boycott the parade until discrimination against LGBT groups ended.
"Hopefully, today's developments will lead to full inclusion of LGBT groups in the New York parade, and encourage parade organizers in other cities like Boston to follow suit and end their discrimination," Groves said.

Floor globe suggestions?
My 14 yo son is a geography nut and has asked me for a new floor globe . He has had it for years and we can't get it to stand straight anymore .
I'd like to get him something nice . I went straight to National Geographic, but the reviews were bad on the one I wanted . A second one had no reviews at all.
Any good sources ? I'd like to keep it under 500 , and I think a tripod stand would be nice .
This one is interesting (link below)
And ultimate globes.com has a whole range of standing globes.
Here is a link that might be useful: Floor globe
I love globes. Informative and decorative! Hammacher Schlemmer has some nice ones but they are significantly over your budget. I checked Amazon but most of them look like something you'd see in Bombay Company. You might need to scour ebay for a nice older one.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hammacher Schlemmer
We have one that we purchased about 15 years ago that looks very much like the world's most detailed globe that Deee posted. I can assure you we didn't pay nearly that much for ours and I am certain that ours doesn't have the detail though the wood is lovely and it does light up. Our grandsons think it is wonderful! We bought it at FLS when we were shopping for bedroom furniture.
Since your son is interested in globes, he might like this photo of FDR and his globe. He and Churchill received identical globes. World War ll was fought using this globe. In 1943 the commander in chief used this globe as one of his resources. Now we have satellites that can probably read the number on a house. Amazing times
Here is a link that might be useful: FDR and his globe
Of course the quintessential globe picture has to be Charlie Chaplin's in The Great Dictator.
Here is a link that might be useful: The Great Dictator- Globe Scene
bpathome, where did you find that globe? I "collect". Anything over three is a collection, right? I know where I can buy 3 more but really, 7 are probably enough. I did see an oval tin container with a world map painted on it, old, $8. I want it. And I will set it.........where? My latest is a 1946 for THREE DOLLARS!! Same age as me! (I know, "as I" but I didn't suppose the grammar police were watching.)
Here's ours. I don't remember what I paid for it but I know it wasn't anywhere near your budget.
I have the paperwork and if anything changes, a new globe is provided with the updated map.
I use it constantly with my twins in their school work.
When middle dd was at Bond University studying abroad for a semester...boys thought it was cool to be able to see where she was,, when they missed her so much.
My family loves maps and globes. My son recently received a levitating globe from the company below. The link takes you to their floor globes. What a fun purchase for your son!
Here is a link that might be useful: Replogle Globe

Press Release:
NEW YORK (September 21, 2010) – September has been a rollercoaster ride for retailers as weekly sales continue to be volatile swinging back and forth from positive to negative results. Given this, for the week ending September 18, overall weekly chain store sales fell by 1.4 percent, according to the ICSC and Goldman Sachs Weekly Chain Store Sales Index. However, on a year-over-year basis, retail sales improved and rose by a strong 3.3 percent overall.
"Sales over the last week were mixed with some retailers being helped by the weather, while others were not, making the overall results for the week very uneven," said Michael Niemira, ICSC director of research and chief economist. "Despite this week's decline, sales for September remain are on track for an industry-wide increase of about.3.0 percent overall," Niemira added.
The Weekly Chain Store Sales Snapshot is produced by the International Council of Shopping Centers and Goldman Sachs. This index measures U.S. nominal same-store or comparable-store sales excluding restaurant and vehicle demand. The weekly index is constructed as a sales-weighted geometric average growth rate to preserve long-term consistency and is statistically benchmarked to a broad-based monthly retail industry sales aggregate that currently represents approximately 40 retail chain stores, which also is compiled by ICSC. A representative sample of those major retailers has been used as a control group to extrapolate the weekly sales index. As such, the weekly index statistically represents industry sales and is not just a sum of sales for a handful of retailers. The standard period used for the index is Sunday through Saturday, even though some retailers use a different weekly accounting period. The weekly sales index is presented on an adjusted basis to account for normal seasonality and to counter other data anomalies. Weekly seasonal adjustment is at best difficult for chain store sales given that retailers can and often do shift promotions to counter typical shifts in the calendar. Nonetheless, the approach to weekly seasonal adjustment used follows from the Piser Method, which was popular in the early 1930s and became the standard for weekly adjustment.
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is a bank holding company and a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm. Goldman Sachs provides a wide range of services worldwide to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and high net worth individuals. Founded in 1869, the firm is headquartered in New York and maintains offices in London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Hong Kong and other major financial centers around the world.
Founded in 1957, ICSC is the premier global trade association of the shopping center industry. Its more than 55,000 members in over 90 countries include shopping center owners, developers, managers, marketing specialists, investors, retailers and brokers, as well as academics and public officials. As the global industry trade association, ICSC links with more than 25 national and regional shopping center councils throughout the world. For more information, visit www.icsc.org.

"Film screening of "Saving Mes Aynak" with Introduction by Producer, David Huffman"
Brent Huffman
Medill - Northwestern University
Saving Mes Aynak is a documentary chronicling the fight to save a 2,000-year-old archaeology site in Afghanistan threatened by a Chinese copper mine. Mes Aynak, located in volatile Logar province, is comprised of an ancient 500,000 square meter Buddhist city on top of an even older Bronze age site. Discoveries at the site have the potential to redefine the history of Afghanistan and the history of Buddhism itself.
