The practice of meditation has been an integral part of many religions for thousands of years. In modern times, it has also been adopted as a secular discipline, as a way to improve physical and mental well-being. The Meditation Wind Chime is tuned to a scale characteristic of the musical style of southern India.
The Meditation Wind Chime's captivating tones are enhanced by a bonus CD of original music composed specifically to harmonize with this chime's performance. Together or separately they can each be used as an aid to meditation - a sort of musical mantra - to help relax the mind and focus one's thoughts. But they can also be enjoyed at anytime, simply for their beautiful sound.

This off-year election—held in a season when voters might be understandably more interested in road-tripping than ballot-marking—has instead been as nasty as any in recent memory.
That's thanks to one issue: fluoride.
It's not the first time the city has been yanked to the ballot box by the question of an enamel-strengthening chemical in the Bull Run water supply. Portland rejected fluoride in 1956, 1962 and 1980.
But this most recent try has touched a nerve in our citizenry, a civic root canal minus the Novocain. The pro- and anti-fluoridation campaigns are drilling down to tender spots: racial inequity in unassailably liberal Portland, a growing cynicism about scientific or any other authority, and the balance between the good of the commonwealth and the petty tyranny of a nanny state.
Maybe the furor over fluoride is just one more quirk in a city full of them—a symptom of the iconoclasm that makes Portland both sincere and infuriating.
But we'd like to think it speaks to something better in the city, a willingness to engage in fierce debate where other places mindlessly check a box.
So we invite you to consider not just fluoride but other issues that call for your attention in the May 21 vote: how the city helps its children, how regional government maintains its open spaces, and who should lead our public education system.
Please read our suggestions, do your civic duty, and don't forget to floss.

What's in MY pack? Backpacking gear lists from a Great Smoky Mountains overnighter
"Ever since we published a series of backpacking gear lists this spring (an ultralight backpacking gear list, a traditional backpacking gear list and a beginner's backpacking gear list) several blog readers have contacted me to ask which of those items I personally carry. After all, it's one thing to compile lists of suggested backpacking gear, and another thing entirely to disclose exactly what I take on the trail. Well, what better way to follow up those gear lists, and answer that question, than with another gear list?"

Comments about Arc'Teryx Beta AR Jacket (Men's) Closeout:
I tried on a lot of shells before settling on the Beta AR... a LOT of shells. I was dead-set on a Gore-Tex Pro shell jacket, partly due to its enhanced breathability and partly due to the extra durability in the Pro fabrics. I do a lot of off-trail field work, which involves bush-whacking through prickers and thorns, so I don't need my waterproof shell to rip in half the first time I put it to use!
Once I'd narrowed it down to the pro shells, it mostly came down to fit for me, and the fit of the Arc'teryx Beta AR is just perfect. As soon as I put it on, I knew I had a winner. I'd tried on a couple of Marmot shell jackets, but they seemed very boxy to me, and very baggy around the mid-section; I prefer a more athletic fit. I also tried a Mountain Hardwear pro shell, which was stretchy with a trim fit, but it was too narrow in the shoulders, and the zipper was so difficult to use that I felt trapped in the jacket!
The Beta AR fits like it was designed for real people to do real things in the real world. This is something that I think Arc'teryx does very well; they pay a lot of attention to seam placement and tailoring, and their outerwear just seems to FIT better.
In regard to the zipper, well, Arc'teryx has been making the best waterproof zippers for a long time, and I'm happy about that every time I put the jacket on. It's not like those cheap waterproof zippers you have to fight with... just nice and smooth, up and down.
Before I purchased it, I talked to a couple of friends, both of whom have had their own Beta AR shells for 8-10 years, with no complaints. Without a doubt, Arc'teryx makes the best waterproof shell jackets out there, and I couldn't be happier with my Beta AR.

The aptly named The One & Only Royal Mirage is traditional Moroccan architecture at its palatial best. There are fountains, flowers, pots, mosaic floors, beautiful carpets, camel saddlebags adorning the walls, intricate arches, golden domes, hidden courtyards – the One & Only Royal Mirage embodies the very best elements of Arabian hospitality.
Its many restaurants and bars feature winding staircases, glowing, multi-coloured lanterns and fluttering curtains, combined with panoramic views of the beautiful Dubai coastline. The One & Only Royal Mirage Hotel is often cited as Dubai's nearest rival to the Burj al Arab Hotel, but that is a little unfair to the Mirage: its elegance is more restrained and the whole experience is quite different. The hidden gardens, picturesque canals and beautiful terraces arguably put it in a class apart and make it a deservedly popular wedding venue.
The The One & Only Royal Mirage features high on any list of 'things to do in Dubai'. Afternoon tea is an absolute delight here, extraordinarily reasonably priced and as good as you will get anywhere. The Rooftop Terrace cannot be beaten as an open-air evening drinks venue for a special occasion, and near its popular Kasbar nightclub is a fabulous little courtyard filled with majlis-style tents for shisha lovers.

Price City Police investigate the door at El Salto looking for clues. It is believed that a single suspect attempted to break into four local businesses early Wednesday morning.
Price police are on the trail of a crook who is suspected of breaking into three Price businesses and making an attempt on a fourth early Wednesday morning.
According to Price City Police Capt. Bill Barnes, the suspect attacked the locking mechanism at the King Coal Theater, UPS Store, El Salto restaurant and the China Buffet. For an unknown reason, the suspect did not gain entrance to the UPS location, but was able to steal an undisclosed amount of cash from the other three businesses.
"This guy is a little smarter than your average crook," said Barnes. "He seems to have knowledge of these locks and has only been interested in taking cash."
According to police, the MO has been nearly identical in each crime. The King Coal, UPS and China Buffet locations were investigated in the early daylight hours of Wednesday morning. The El Salto crime scene was not discovered until approximately 6 p.m. Wednesday evening because the suspect gained entry through a side door which is not typically used. Police converged on the Price restaurant Wednesday evening and confirmed that the fourth location matched the thief's MO.
Investigators are currently tracking a single suspect and have made progress on several leads. Citizens with any information concerning these crimes can contact the Price Police at 636-3190.

U.S. U-20 Women Head to Maryland for Pan-Am Prep
CHICAGO (June 4, 2007) - In its final training camp before heading to Brazil for the 2007 Pan-American Games, the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team will hold a training camp in Maryland as head coach Jillian Ellis brings in 24 players for eight days from June 9-16, a period that will include scrimmages against two W-League teams.
As the Pan-American Games is an "open" tournament for women, Ellis will bring four "overage" players into this camp, none of whom who are age-eligible for the 2008 FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup, the ultimate goal of this team, to be held at the end of next year in Chile.
Those "overage" players are forwards Michele Weissenhofer and Lauren Cheney (who spent most of the last three months in Residency Training Camp with the full Women's National Team), midfielder Amanda Poach (a member of the FIFA All-Star Team at the 2006 U-20 WWC in Russia) and defender Brittany Taylor.
Ellis also named four players just graduating from high school in Gatorade Girl's National High School Player of the Year Melissa Henderson, a forward from Garland, Texas, headed to Notre Dame, and defender Meghan Klingenberg from Pennsylvania and forward Rachel Givan from Mississippi, both headed to UNC, and midfielder Kylie Wright, who will attend UCLA. Ellis also named the Parade Girl's High School Player of the Year, junior Teresa Noyola, who at 17 is the young player on the roster.
For the first time, Ellis will have on her roster the three players from U.S. team that competed in the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship who are age-eligible for the next U-20 WC, in midfielder Tobin Heath and forwards Casey Nogueira and Kelley O'Hara, all of whom spent some time training with the full Women's National Team in 2007. Ellis also gives a first call-up to midfielder Nikki Washington, who performed so well for UNC during the NCAA Final Four last fall. Ellis has some serious height in her goalkeeper corps, calling in 5-foot-11 Chantel Jones, 5-foot-9 Alyssa Naeher and 6-foot Kristin Olsen. The camp may have an emphasis on attacking as Ellis has called in 10 forwards among the 24 players.
While in Maryland, the U-20s will take on the Virginia Majestics on June 12 and face the Washington Freedom on June 14. The Pan-Am games will be held in Rio de Janeiro from July 12-26 and will feature two groups of five teams each with Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Canada, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama and the USA participating on the women's side. Matches will be held on July 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23 and 26.

Mikey Likes Japan A few months back when Roadrunner Japan A&R Rep Kaori was visiting the NYC Roadrunner office, the wheels were in motion. These wheels we speak of were Kaori's idea to have Soulfly guitarist Mikey Doling produce the upcoming release from Bat Cave, a Roadrunner act in Japan. Remember Kaori? Remember Bat Cave? Mikey is producing Bat Cave's upcoming release. Did You Know? Mikey's previous production credits include the Lynn Strait tribute, and demos for Hemlock. True.
This week, we bring you more words from our US Controller Neil, and his conversation with Marcelo of Soulfly... "I spoke today with Soulfly bassist Marcelo Dias. Marcelo reports that he's really pleased with the band's latest effort "3", which will be instores this summer. After overcoming some hurdles on the first two records, Marcelo indicates "We're more mature together now. This record everything came together." They road tested new cuts "Last Of The Mohicans", "Interfaith", & "Downstroy" on their recent tour with Static X. Marcelo says, "The crowds are loving them. They're heavier, with more hooks" than ever before. Marcelo is eagerly anticipating hearing the final mix of the record, which was just completed by Terry Date. Terry is a Roadrunner veteran, having previously mixed Slipknot's "Iowa" and Machine Head's "The Burning Red"." ...thanks for the time and the line Marcelo & Neil...

I finished a baby quilt last night for a coworker who will go on maternity leave soon. It was a delightfully simple block arrangement of scrappy four patches and one patches in charming fabrics from Moda.

NSO Dates
New Student Orientation (NSO) sessions are capacity limited, meaning only a certain number of students are allowed to attend each session. Space for each NSO is available on a first-reserve/payment basis and once an orientation session has filled, it will no longer appear online as a registration option; there is no wait list.
NSO availability is always changing and is different for each student based on: 1) A student's admissions classification; 2) Major/College; and 3) Who has already registered before the student and, therefore, which sessions have already been closed due to full capacity. Because availability is specific to each student, Prospective and New Student Programs will not provide a list of all NSO dates via email/phone. Any available date will automatically populate when you log into your myUH self-service account; there is no wait list.
To register for a New Student Conference:
1. LOG IN to your myUH self-service account.
2. CLICK on "Student Admission" on the left side, and then click on "New Student Conference."
3. MAKE payment for your New Student Conference. You will have access to the registration section of the site when payment is complete. This fee is non-refundable.
4. CHOOSE your preferred, available date (note: conference dates fill quickly and are available on a first come, first served basis.)
Upon successful registration for NSO, you will receive a confirmation email. One week prior to your conference date, you will receive a second confirmation email with logistic information.

Walter Borla of Helper has retired after 16 years as national president of the Columbian Federation of Italian Societies. Borla's retirement came at the 36th national convention of the federation in Las Vegas, Nev.
Accompanying him to the convention were Charles Hamilton and Van Cook. Hamilton was re-elected as vice-president of the Western Area. All three are members of Helper's Italian-American lodge Stella d'America (Star of America).
The Columbian Federation is a fraternal organization founded in Chicago in 1893. One of the principal aims of the organization is to foster and advocate the spirit of loyalty and patriotism to the Constitution and laws of the United States. The federation includes lodges and clubs throughout the country.
Stella d'America has been affiliated with the federation since 1903. The local lodge was organized in Castle Gate in 1898 by immigrant Italian coal miners. A strike by miners in 1902 necessitated the transfer of the lodge to Helper, where it has functioned ever since.

This season has been filled with a lot of ups and downs for
the Rangers. It's seen a lot of underachieving hockey from the team's biggest
stars that saw Marian Gaborik get shipped out. It's seen them blow leads, get
outscored and outskated, has seen the power play both flourish and be abysmal,
and the penalty kill that was once one of the best in the league collapse at
times. Yet the Rangers are still in the thick of the playoff race going into
the last couple of weeks of the season.
One of the brightest spots through all of this has been the
play of center Derek Stepan. Stepan had a fantastic break out rookie season two
years ago and made the team right out of training camp. He skated mostly with
Marian Gaborik that year, and registered 21 goals and 24 assist. He made the
all rookie team for the all star game, and had people all over the league
watching him.
Last year, despite still putting up 17 goals and 34 assists,
many around the league said he was guilty of going through a sophomore slump.
Critics said his stats were inflated from playing with a player of Gaborik's
caliber, and that he was mostly on the ice during offensive situations, making
him one dimensional. At the start of this year's shortened season Stepan was
mentioned as a player the Rangers should trade, as some team would probably
overpay for him, giving the Rangers a nice return back.
All of those critics at this point in the season should be
eating their words. In this shortened season, Derek Stepan has 14 goals and 19
assists, placing him second in both scoring and overall points to Rick Nash. He
is a team leading +18, 4 power play goals, 1 short -handed goal and 4 game
winning goals, the most on the team. He's
scored almost as many goals this season as he has in the past two seasons in
less than half the games. Stepan is living up to his potential and is
solidifying his place as part of the Rangers core.
Stepan has been contributing defensively for the team this
season as well, so no one can say he is only on the ice in offensive situations
to pad his stats. He's become an important penalty killer for the team and has
become very responsible with the puck in his own zone. Between his speed and
his puck possession skills, Stepan is a threat on the penalty kill as well. He
may only have one short-handed goal, but he's had the opportunity for many
more. He's been improving on face offs as well, and has earned Tortorella's
trust to take them in key situations.
Yes he's been playing with Rick Nash for a good part of the
season. But it's made Stepan elevate his play, rather it being elevated by
Nash. He's becoming the type of player that makes those around him better. His
passing has improved. He's become tougher to muscle off the puck. And along
with Nash and Callahan, has been the Rangers best and most consistent player
through this shortened season of ups and downs. He's been doing a lot of things
right this season, and not a lot of things wrong, both in the offensive zone
and in his own zone as well. Stepan's going to be an important piece of the
puzzle not only in the final playoff push for this season, but for years to
come. And right now he's making all of those who said "trade him, he's
overrated" put a shoe in their mouths.

BELTSVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- A fiery head-on collision in Beltsville claimed two lives and shut down a portion of Route 1 on Friday. The road reopened nearly eight hours after the crash.
Maryland State Police are investigating the violent crash, which occurred on Route 1 (Baltimore Avenue) near Powder Mill Road around 1:38 Friday morning. According to Sgt. Darryl Clark, a Chevy Camero, traveling in the southbound lanes of Route 1 inexplicably crossed over to the northbound lanes where it struck a loaded tow truck head-on.
One person in the Camero was thrown from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. Another person perished inside the vehicle. Neither person had identification on them, say police, and a forensic examiner will help identify them.
The driver of the tow truck was taken to Prince George's Hospital where he is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Crash reconstruction investigators are on scene, as well as the Medical Examiner. Police say speed was definitely a factor in the crash. It is yet to be determined if alcohol played any part in the incident. The two vehicles collided at a curve in the road.

Pro-life leaders in Poland remain optimistic despite the narrow defeat of a bill that would have completely banned abortion in the largely Catholic nation. The historic bill, the result of a nationwide grassroots campaign that garnered 600,000 petition signatures in support of the law in two weeks, was narrowly defeated in late August in Poland's parliament by a 191-186 vote, with five abstentions and 78 lawmakers not present for the vote, according to LifeSiteNews.com.
Nonetheless, said Polish pro-life commentator Tomasz Terlikowski (pictured), in spite of the "undeniable defeat of the entire project, it was a huge success." Terlikowski told LifeSiteNews that the victory came in "the introduction to public debate, unthinkable in other European countries, of a total ban on abortion." He added that those in Poland who are committed to defending the unborn, "among whom I count myself, certainly will not rest. In the next Parliament we will re-submit the bill banning all abortions."

Class of 1987
Defensive Tackle >>> 6-4, 275
(North Texas State)
1969-1981 Pittsburgh Steelers
Charles Edward Greene ... Consensus All-American, 1968 ... No. 1 draft pick, 1969 ... Became "cornerstone of franchise" that dominated the NFL in 1970s ... Exceptional team leader, possessed size, speed, quickness, strength, determination ... NFL Defensive Player of Year, 1972, 1974 ... All-Pro or All-AFC nine years ... Played in four Super Bowls, six AFC title games, 10 Pro Bowls ... Born September 24, 1946, in Temple, Texas.
A 1968 consensus All-America at North Texas State, Joe Greene was Pittsburgh's No. 1 pick in the 1969 National Football League Draft. Almost from his first game, the 6-4, 275-pounder showed the super-star talents that established him as the defensive foundation in Coach Chuck Noll's program that produced four AFC titles and four Super Bowl victories in the 1970s.
Playing left tackle, Greene was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1969 when he received the first of his 10 Pro Bowl invitations. He was named All-NFL five times, and earned all-conference recognition 11 straight years from 1969 to 1979. In both 1972 and 1974, when Greene was selected as the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Joe played a major role in his team's success.
He had career-high 11 sacks in 1972 when Pittsburgh reached the playoffs for the first time ever. In a must-win game against Houston, Greene recorded five sacks and a fumble recovery that assured victory for the injury-riddled Steelers.
In 1974, Pittsburgh won its first AFC championship and Super Bowl IX. That year, Greene developed the new tactic of lining up at a sharp angle between the guard and center to disrupt the opposition's blocking assignments. Against both Oakland in the AFC title game and Minnesota in Super Bowl IX, Greene was virtually unstoppable. Joe's pass interception and a critical fumble recovery at the Pittsburgh 5-yard-line were major factors in the demise of the Vikings.
Greene was armed with speed, quickness, strength and great determination and, at the peak of his career, could dominate a game almost single-handedly. A natural leader, he captained the Steelers' defensive unit beginning in 1977. Greene opened his career with a 91-game streak that was interrupted by injury in 1975. Durable, he played in 181 of a possible 190 regular-season games.

NORTH SMITHFIELD — After steamrolling its opposition in its first eight games by a combined score of 107-17, Chris Bodington knew that his Cumberland All-Star team needed to sweat out a close contest somewhere down the line if it planned to take on the finest teams in New England in the extra-competitive Eastern Regionals.
The Cumberland manager got exactly what he wanted for six action-packed innings on Thursday night from the Warwick West Side All-Star team, which entered its contest determined to turn the tables on Cumberland after suffering a 14-3 loss to the locals in Sunday's winners' bracket final of the state tournament, Warwick's most lopsided defeat of the summer.
But Cumberland passed its toughest test by holding off Warwick, 3-1, and in the process, winning its third straight state championship before a full house at Pacheco Park.
The victory sends Cumberland (9-0) back to the A. Bartlett Giamatti Little League Center in Bristol, Conn. for the Eastern Regional tournament that begins a week from today. Cumberland, which advanced as far as the regional semifinals in last year's tourney, will face the Massachusetts state champion in the opening game of New England pool play at 12:30 p.m.
That game, as well as the other ones against the state champions from Vermont (Sunday, July 21), Maine (Tuesday, July 23), and Connecticut (Wednesday, July 24), promise to be tight affairs, unlike the ones that Cumberland had cruised through on its way to Thursday's title game.
"Obviously we want to be playing this caliber [of softball] like these girls put out there today," admitted Bodington. "That's going to make us better. The lopsided wins, they're good for the batting [averages] and everything, but they don't help you out on the other side of it. The girls played a good, tight game today, and you want to see those games."
While Cumberland experienced its closest game since its 8-2 triumph over North Smithfield in the District IV championship game on July 2, it also had its fewest number of hits in the playoffs -- four. That's because the locals fell prey to a standout outing from Warwick pitcher Katrina Kazen, who worked all six innings, struck out five batters, walked one, and hit another with a pitch.
Cumberland, meanwhile, limited Warwick to three singles behind the splendid pitching of starter Alex Pina and reliever Jocelyn Bodington, who teamed up to fan six batters, issue four walks, and allow just four batted balls to reach the outfield grass.
Offensively, Chloe Kessler gave Cumberland a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning with a home run, as she turned on an 0-1 fastball from Kazen and deposited it over the fence in left field.
Cumberland then doubled its lead in the second, thanks to a mental mistake by Warwick. With one gone, Cassidy Carr led off with a bunt single, and after Abby Goncalves got hit by a pitch, Renae Lacroix lofted a towering fly ball near the second base bag.
With the infield fly rule being called for the second out, the ball was dropped as the shortstop and second baseman camped under the ball. Carr dashed to third, and when the shortstop held onto the ball, not knowing where to throw it, the Cumberland manager sent Carr to the plate, and she slid home safely to beat the high throw there.
"I knew what was going on, and once I saw the confusion, it actually made that decision easier for me to send her home from third," added Bodington. "They didn't know where to go with the ball, so I sent her home and it paid off."
Cumberland added its final run in the fourth when Hailey Ballou (the only player in the game with two hits) doubled to left and then tagged up and went to third on a long fly to the warning track in straightaway center by Kessler. But when the throw to third sailed wide of the base and went into left field, Kessler was able to cross the plate with ease.
Pina, meanwhile, was quietly carrying a no-hit bid into the fifth inning, but with one out in that frame, she lost it on a bloop single down the right-field line by Lexi Brown. That was followed by a sharp single down the third-base line by Danaja Alpaio and a walk to Kaylyn Ciesielski that loaded the bases for the top of Warwick's order.
At that point, Bodington brought in his daughter to put out the fire, and even though the hard-throwing southpaw walked the first batter she faced, Gianna Altieri, to force in a run, she came back to strike out the next two batters she faced to silence the threat.
In the sixth, Warwick tried one more time to get back into the game. With one out, Karly Evans lined a single to left and stole second base, but Bodington came back to retire the next two batters and set off her team's celebration.

"My fellow USA-ers,
I understand that many of you continue to disapprove of the capture of planet New York. However, the USA's continued prosperity, and convalescence in face of such disaster, are a testament to the resilience of our nation's people. Planet Chicago has met the challenge of rising as our nation's leading economic center and stock exchange, and our financial markets have exceeded the expectations of many economic experts in spite of our struggles with the brikverse financial crisis, the loss of New York, as well as a fiscal crisis born from a lack of cooperation in our legislative branch, the same bickering grandstanders who have prevented a renewed attempt to recapture New York.
This will change with the avail of the gracious nation of Praetoria. They have obligingly provided us with a large majority of their fleet in an effort to recapture one of the once-glorious planets of the USA from the clutches of the malicious Third Alliance. Once Congress has approved the funding I will order the nearest carrier group to join them in their magnificent cause.
Moreover, once we and any other willing and able star nations take back New York, this will only signal the genesis of a new era of international relations as we re-establish the Allied Nations. This time, however, there will be no opposition- we hope to obtain the cooperation of Praetoria and other star nations and crush the feeble coterie that is the Third Alliance once and for all, rendering on all of its nations, all of its planets, what they did to our New York.
Join me fellow USA-ers in reasserting our nation's place as the best country in the brikverse, atop the ruins of those who may say otherwise.

28 U.S. Code § 1733 - Government records and papers; copies
(a) Books or records of account or minutes of proceedings of any department or agency of the United States shall be admissible to prove the act, transaction or occurrence as a memorandum of which the same were made or kept.
(b) Properly authenticated copies or transcripts of any books, records, papers or documents of any department or agency of the United States shall be admitted in evidence equally with the originals thereof.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 946; Pub. L. 93–595, § 2(c),Jan. 2, 1975, 88 Stat. 1949.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 661–667, 671 (R.S. §§ 882–886, 889; July 31, 1894, ch. 174, §§ 17, 22,28 Stat. 210; Mar. 2, 1895, ch. 177, § 10,28 Stat. 809; June 10, 1921, ch. 18, §§ 301, 302, 304, 310,42 Stat. 23–25; May 10, 1934, ch. 277, § 512,48 Stat. 758; June 19, 1934, ch. 653, § 6(a),48 Stat. 1109).
The consolidation of sections 661–667 and 671 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., permitted omission of obsolete, unnecessary and repetitive provisions in such sections. For example, the provision in section 665 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., authorizing the court to require production of documents on a plea of non est factum, was omitted. Such plea is obsolete in Federal practice.
Numerous provisions with respect to authentication were omitted as covered by Rule 44 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Likewise the provision that official seals shall be judicially noticed was omitted as unnecessary. Seals of Federal agencies are judicially noticed by States and Federal courts without statutory mandate. Gardner v. Barney, 1867, 6 Wall. 499, 73 U.S.C. 499, 18 L.Ed. 890, 31 C.J.S. 599 n. 27–30 and 23 C.J.S. 99 n. 41. The same principle unquestionably will apply to seals of Government corporations.
Words "of any corporation all the stock of which is beneficially owned by the United States, either directly or indirectly", in section 661 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., were omitted as covered by "or agency". The revised section was broadened to apply to "any department or agency". (See reviser's note under section 1345 of this title.)
Changes were made in phraseology.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Investors were keeping calm over Iraq Friday as President Barack Obama signaled the U.S. won't take immediate military action to help the Iraqi army respond to attacks by Sunni militants in the country's north, while Iranian forces joined the Baghdad government's efforts to combat insurgent advances.
Financial markets are seeing only modest fallout from the conflict, though strategists say investors should be braced for potential volatility in oil prices. Here's what you need to know:
What is happening?
Obama said he would review military options "in the days ahead" but that any military response must be "careful." He pressed Iraq Prime Minister Kamal al-Maliki to take steps to better balance political power between Shiites and Sunnis.
Iran has already jumped to help fellow Shiites in Iraq's government against the threat, deploying Revolutionary Guard units to the country.
Iraq was on the brink of civil war after Kurdish forces took control of Kirkuk, a provincial capital city and oil-production hub in northern Iraq while Sunni militias swept through other cities in the north and threatened Baghdad.
Why is Iraq important?
Iraq is the world's eighth-largest producer of oil and ranks No. 2 in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, behind Saudi Arabia. The country exports around 2.5 million barrels of oil a day. Losing that supply would be quite disruptive and could propel oil prices higher by another $15 to $20 a barrel, analysts say.
"Although the situation is some distance from the oil fields, the reality is that a $20 a barrel spike in crude prices could well prove sufficient to derail the global economic recovery," said Joao Monteiro, an analyst at Valutrades in London.
Iraq's oil production has been on the comeback trail since the height of the Iraq war. Production hit 3.6 million barrels a day in February, its highest level in more than 30 years. It has since fallen back, slipping to 3.3 million barrels a day in May, analysts say.
Iraq's production growth has been a welcome development for oil consumers as Libya struggles to return online amid persistent violence and turmoil. But the fighting casts big doubts over the government's aim to boost output to 4 million barrels a day by the end of this year and to 7 million barrels a day by 2016, note economists at Capital Economics.
What's the threat?
An underlying fear in the oil market is that the fighting will spread to Iraq's main oil-producing areas in the south. Meanwhile, Iraq's biggest refinery at Baijii in the north remains under government control, Iraqi oil minister Abdul Kareem Luaibi said Thursday, according to Reuters. Luaibi said Iraqi crude exports from its southern terminal at Basra were running at an average of 2.6 million to 2.7 million barrels a day on Wednesday.
"The northern oil fields have been taken yet that area of the country was not really active. There had been damaged pipelines due to sabotage," said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group. "Basra in the south of Iraq seems to be operating normally and any attack on Baghdad may be met with much tougher resistance."
