 http://www.newerahatsretail.com | | RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — As soon as she read the news, Mary Helen Taft went straight from her computer to her closet, pulling out a gray jacket that, until that moment, she had thought was an elaborate costume.When the story of an 80-year-old military tunic found among Superstorm Sandy debris at the Jersey Shore made national headlines, she knew the item she had picked up on consignment about 20 years ago was no longer just a run-of-the-mill coat stashed in the back of her closet.After examining the worn-down label inside, Taft uncovered the jacket's own storied past."I really had no idea what the history behind the jacket was, or that it may be meaningful or valuable to somebody," said Taft,New Era sales, 63, who lives outside Zimmerman, Minn. "Suddenly there was a face and a history of service and a human connection that is very real and it made me see the jacket with new eyes."Isn't that what motivates us all — those heart-touching human connections and a sense of community?"The alumni association for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point has researched a handful of inquiries from people wanting to put a face with their second-hand finds since the story last month about the discovery of a 1930s jacket belonging to the late warrior Chester B. deGavre. The AP reported on a New Jersey woman who found the jacket among Sandy debris,New Era San Diego Padres Hats,www.wholesalenewclothing.com swarovski Mobile Phone Acce, tracked down its owner with the help of the storied military academy and reunited the jacket with deGavre's 98-year-old widow on Virginia's Eastern Shore."Maybe they thought it was just a neat thing to have, but then it kind of got them thinking about the person behind the coat and who that person was," said Kim McDermott with the West Point Association of Graduates, who has searched alumni databases, yearbooks and memorial pages to help curious owners of the jackets, which have been used at the academy since 1816. "We're just wired for stories, as humans."With its tails, intricate stitching, and slanted gold braids on the shoulders, the jacket hasn't changed much since it was first adopted and is still worn by cadets for formal occasions and in parades. The heavy coats, studded with brass buttons down the front and sleeves,NBA Basketball Hats, have been issued to nearly 70,000 cadets over the years, so it's no wonder some have changed hands from their original owners.When people buy antique china, they often wonder how many tables it's been on or what conversations took place around it. But with everyday apparel, "I don't think anyone really thinks much about it,",www.wholesalenewclothing.com; said Adele Meyer, executive director of the Association of Resale Professionals, which represents more than 1,100 consignment and thrift stores.",New Era Minnesota Twins Hats;A military jacket — that's different. That has a history to it,",cheap New Era snapbacks New era yankees hats Teixeira ex; Meyer said.Taft has learned that the coat hanging in her closet for so many years belonged to Joseph Francis Albano, a 1971 graduate and football standout from New Jersey known as "the Jersey Streak."After graduation, Albano was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the Army and served five years of active duty at Fort Benning in Georgia; in Germany; and at West Point in the athletic department. Following years in the finance business, the 64-year-old now splits his time between Florida and Wyoming.News of his jacket being found brought back a lot of fond memories for Albano of his time at the academy, which he said he admired for its rich history and tradition. Albano said he isn't su |

http://www.saleabercrombieclothes.com | | TUCSON, Arizona (AP) — The suspect in a shooting that left a U.S. congresswoman wounded pleaded guilty to going on the rampage that killed six other people. The plea spares Jared Lee Loughner the death penalty in an attack that gained worldwide attention.The plea came Tuesday soon after a federal judge had found that months of forcibly medicating Loughner to treat his schizophrenia had made the 23-year-old college dropout competent to understand the gravity of the charges against him and assist in his defense.Gabrielle Giffords,www.newerahatsretail.com, the congresswoman who was the intended target, continues to recover from the January 2011 shooting at an Arizona political gathering. She has left her Congress post.Among the dead were Arizona's chief federal judge and a Giffords' aide. Twelve other people aside from Giffords were wounded."I plead guilty," Loughner said.He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.The outcome was welcomed by some victims, including Giffords, as a way to avoid a lengthy, possibly traumatic trial and years of legal wrangling over a death sentence."The pain and loss caused by the events of Jan. 8, 2011, are incalculable," Giffords said in a joint statement with her husband, Mark Kelly,New Era Philadelphia Phillies Hats. "Avoiding a trial will allow us — and we hope the whole Southern Arizona community — to continue with our recovery."His hair closely cropped, Loughner was not the smiling, bald-headed suspect captured in a mugshot soon after the shooting,Swarovski Brooches.Wearing khakis, Loughner sat quietly throughout the hearing and smiled at one point when a psychologist testifying about his competence remarked that he had bonded with one of the federal prison guards.After the hearing, Loughner's parents cried and embraced. The victims mostly just watched without expression,Ferragamo outlet.",New Era New York Mets Hats;He's a different person in his appearance and his affect than the first time I laid eyes on him," said Judge Larry A. Burns, who then accepted the plea agreement and added that he found it to be in the best interest of everyone involved,swarovski Clip Earrings Monster Energy Hats Sununu apolo,Abercrombie Clothing.Ron Barber, a former Giffords staffer who was wounded in the attack and later won election to her seat after she stepped down, said he hoped the plea will help the victims and their families "move forward and continue our healing process.""I truly believe that justice was done today," he said after the hearing. "It is important to me that this individual never again is in a position in which he can cause harm to anyone else."Susan Hileman, who accompanied slain 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Green to the gathering outside a supermarket and was wounded in the attack, said nothing would return her life to what it was before the shooting."This is so sad —a 23-year-old who's going to spend the rest of his life in a box,Monster Energy Hats Abercrombie and Fitch Polos Taulafo. I feel empty. What I want, I can't have," she said, adding that she was relieved the case ended. Still, "it's like a Band-Aid that keeps getting ripped off."Experts had concluded that Loughner suffers from schizophrenia, and officials at a federal prison have forcibly medicated him with psychotropic drugs for more than a year.Court-appointed pyschologist Christina Pietz testified for an hour about how she believes Lou |

http://www.swarovskistockists.com | | WASHINGTON (AP) — Current and former Food and Drug Administration officials say in a lawsuit that the agency secretly monitored their private email after they raised concerns that approved medical devices might risk public safety,Abercrombie Accessories New Era Minnesota Twins Hats Syr,Discount Abercrombie & Fitch.The doctors and scientists who researched the products approached members of Congress and the incoming Obama administration to express alarm that the devices were approved over their objections.Their lawsuit, first reported Monday by The Washington Post, says the agency monitored email sent from their personal Gmail and Yahoo accounts from work computers over two years. It says those emails included messages to congressional staff and drafts of whistleblower complaints.The staffers say they were legally protected whistleblowers and the monitoring violated their constitutional rights to free speech and against illegal search and seizure, even though a warning on FDA computers said they had no expectation to privacy. The defendants say they were admonished or lost their contracts to work with FDA in retaliation.The FDA said Monday it would not comment on ongoing litigation,www.neweracapscheapestsale.com.The lawsuit says the plaintiffs were among those who complained in fall 2008 to members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee that senior managers at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health ",Discount Abercrombie & Fitch Ferragamo High Heel Shoes S;ordered,swarovski Clip Earrings, intimidated, and coerced FDA experts to modify their scientific reviews,www.swarovskistockists.com, conclusions and recommendations in violation of the law." Then in January 2009, after Barack Obama's election but before he was sworn into office, nine FDA employees sent a letter to the Obama transition team complaining of corruption within the FDA device review process that they said was endangering public health.For example, the FDA scientists alleged that the agency approved the use of computer-aided detection devices with breast mammograms even though they had been determined not to be safe or effective, harming women and resulting in unnecessary public health costs.The suit says FDA officials began secretly referring to the letter's signatories as the "FDA 9" and began the secret monitoring. The suit says the agency used spyware on their government-owned computers that allowed them to take ",cheapest ferragamo shoes;screen shots,",New Era New York Mets Hats; or pictures of what was on their computer screens without their knowledge.The scientists' complaints were the subject of a New York Times article on March 28, 2010, that said FDA brushed aside its own experts' warnings about the risks of radiation exposure from routinely using powerful CT scans to screen patients for colon cancer.The lawsuit says lawyers for General Electric Co., which applied for agency approval of CT scans for colon cancer screenings, complained that confidential information may have been leaked to the Times. Agency officials used the letter to make a criminal referral to the Office of Inspector General and attempt to have the plaintiffs investigated and potentially charged with serious crimes, the suit says. But the IG's office found no evidence of criminal conduct and noted that disclosures relating to public safety to Congress and the media were protected whistleblower activity.The attorney who filed the suit, National Whistleblowers Center Executive Director S |

http://www.newerahatsretail.com | | BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian warplanes bombed rebel areas near Damascus on Thursday as President Bashar Assad's troops battled opposition fighters for control of the road linking the capital to the country's largest airport.Assad's forces are trying drive out rebels who have established enclaves in the suburbs. While the government has lost control of large swaths of territory in the country's north and east, including parts of the northern city of Aleppo, the capital remains tightly secured,New Era Minnesota Twins Hats.Conditions in the city have worsened however, with prices for basic goods rising and fuel in short supply. U.S. officials said Thursday they believe Assad's sister and mother have left the country, suggesting that hardship has reached even the leadership's families.As the fighting continued, France's foreign minister suggested that Assad's fall was not imminent — a stark admission by a country that has been one of the most ardent supporters of the Syrian rebels.Speaking in Paris, Laurent Fabius told reporters: "The solution that we hoped for — that is to say, Bashar's fall, the rise of the opposition to power — there are no recent signs that are as positive as that,NBA Basketball Hats Abercrombie Womens Teens involved in."Meanwhile the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported bomb attacks and clashes in a number of Damascus suburbs, saying at least 13 people were killed. The group,Swarovski Necklaces, which relies on a network of contacts inside Syria, said fighter jets bombed the southwestern suburbs of Daraya and Moadamiyeh, where rebels have been fighting regime forces for weeks.Because of its strategic location near a military airport, Syrian troops have been pounding rebel positions in Daraya for weeks. Earlier this month, the government claimed its troops had regained control of much of the district.Activists posted a video of the Daraya fighting online that showed artillery shells slamming into concrete buildings, sending plumes of thick, gray smoke into the sky.Daraya is flanked by the districts of Mazzeh,www.swarovskistockists.com, home to the military air base, and Kfar Sousseh, where the government headquarters, the General Security intelligence agency's head office and the Interior Ministry are located.The Observatory also reported heavy fighting near Damascus International Airport and said the regime was shelling the town of Aqraba along the airport road.State-run news agency SANA said troops have been battling rebels in the oil-rich province of al-Hasaka in the country's northeast, killing and wounding several "terrorists" — the term the government and state media use to refer to rebels,Abercrombie and Fitch Polos Swarovski Rings 'Teletubbies.Also in the north, SANA said terrorists shot and killed a math teacher, Nabih Jamil al-Saad, on Wednesday near his home in the town of Hmaida in Raqqa province. A day earlier,Ferragamo outlet Ferragamo outlet Stars eager to get on,New Era New York Mets Hats, rebels killed Mamdouh Abudllah Bin Abd Dibeh, a cardiologist, in front of his clinic in Sheik Mheddin area of Damascus, SANA said.It was not clear if either the teacher or the doctor had ties to the regime. Rebels have targeted government officials, civil workers and prominent personalities, such as actors, who are known Assad supporters.In a separate report, SANA said many residents of the central town of Salamiya in Hama province took part in a funeral procession for those killed in a car bomb explosion late Monday. The Observatory said earlier that at least 42 people were killed in an attack targeting the headquarters of a pro-government militia. SANA did not say how many died.In photographs published by the official news wire, dozens of men are seen standing in front of 11 caskets, |
