What happens to break lines and steering rod when adding Bilstein 5100's set at full extention and rear leafs... Do you have to extend the break lines, does it alter the function of the steering rods? Will it require longer break lines, should I get them anyway for safety?
I drive in the snow and rain a lot and worry about safety...Under this current setup and possibly P265 75 16 sized tires, Will it take longer to stop and will you loose some control over the vehicle?
Just don't wanna risk loose everything on safety just to have the better look and performance of this lift.

When he announced I posted the definition of Santorum.. was called disgusting. Whether or not he fits the definition or not, he is just another whack job..
Yes, we know the left are adept at potty humor. Does this get filed under the same category as calling someone a polesmoker, or is this ok because the target is someone you guys don't like? I could care less about the guy, but I find it interesting that the "civility police" of the left came up with this a few years ago.
When did the left become the "civility police"? People complain about some vague concept of PC-ness, yet it's the right that pushes for actual laws that enforce their own versions of PC-ness, isn't it?
Since when is it potty humor to urge that we all research a candidate on Google? I don't get it. :idontgetit:
So the left became the civility police in January? Have all the laws the right has pushed for w/regard to obscenity, pornography and even individuals' sex lives, been repealed?
Still don't get it, B5. What is he, the candidate that dare not speak his name? I just think everybody should find out about the candidates, and I figured Santorum is as good a place as any to start. ::shrug:: first it's people screaming "teabag this" and "teabag that" and proudly proclaiming themselves teabaggers -- then declaring it a dirty word -- then it's this problem with this Santorum character you evidently think it should be forbidden to google. What's he got to hide? He's well within the present Republican mainstream, and so many of his opinions are echoed throughout the Republican field that you could say it's one great sloshing sea of Santorum at this point. So what, exactly, is the problem? It's the guy's last name. So google his last name, and whatever other connotation you believe attaches, you should probably be mature enough to filter out. Oh and by the way, ye sensitive souls, Harry is next door yammering about how liberals should be put on barges and used by the armed services as target practice. I'm pretty sure the worst thing being said here is not that we should google a candidate's name. PFnV

Wow, there's almost nothing to be said about this one.
As an episodic comedy, it satisfied all my expectations. Comedy was hit and miss, but with slightly more hits. Some scenes were ridiculous to boot, but some parts were dragged out to the point of becoming tiresome, and it's not because I've re-watched it twice; these are my initial impressions. It's episodic, so there's not much continuity, or plot. Or even better, there's no plot at all.
Characters were all charm, no depth. They're pretty much just random stereotypes or just plain personas. Interactions were well written and dialogues were funny, but there's nothing that's really good about them. Only thing that makes few of them memorable is enough screen time and charm; not anything significant. Also, 0 development.
Animations were ok. Deign is completely generic, but I liked the amount of effort they've put into expressions. Some scenes do stand out, but that's mostly because of comedy, not animation. There's enough motion to set the lively mood when needed, and background art was pretty enough, even though it doesn't feel fresh.
Music was generic as well. Almost nothing stands out and soundtrack is very poor. Though, I really liked the ED, which was perfectly fitting with the feeling of the series.
Best girl – Yassan
I agree with your rating. . .it's supposed to be a comedy and yet I rarely laughed. . .the only skit that actually made me burst into laughter was the horoscope skit. . .the one with the wasp. . .pretty sad comedy in my opinion. . .

In Canada, higher education is the responsibility of provincial and territorial governments, and in each province and territory there are laws, policies and procedures that govern the operation of post-secondary institutions. The basic structures of provincial and territorial education systems across Canada are similar.

To study in Canada, you may need a study permit.
To apply for a study permit on or after June 1, 2014, you will need to have a letter of acceptance from a higher education institution.
For detailed information about application requirements for Canadian higher education studies and/or study visa visit: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study.asp
If you need a visa to study in Canada, you will need to have received a letter of acceptance from the university before you can apply for your visa. You must be able to prove that you can support yourself financially during your studies in order to be eligible; you need to be able to cover the university tuition fees, and C$10,000 (C$11,000 in Quebec) per year for living costs, as well as the cost of the journey back to your home country at the end of your studies.
In addition to the financial regulations, you must also have a clean criminal record, and be in good health. You may sometimes have to have a medical examination before being issued a visa.
As an international student on a student visa, you may sometimes work on or off campus. It is advisable to check this with your nearest embassy or consulate before committing to work.
The visa application can take anything between 2 weeks and 20 weeks, depending on which embassy you apply to. You should check the processing time as soon as possible, and ideally begin the application process as soon as you have received your letter of acceptance.
Canada is the world's second-largest country (9 970 610 km2), surpassed only by the Russian Federation. Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories, each with its own capital city. The capital city of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. Formally considered a constitutional monarchy, Canada is governed by its own House of Commons. While the governor-general is officially the representative of Queen Elizabeth II, in reality the governor-general acts only on the advice of the Canadian prime minister.
Covering most of the northern part of the North American continent and with an area larger than that of the United States, Canada has an extremely varied topography.
Distinctive features include our vast mountain ranges: the Torngats, Appalachians and Laurentians in the east; the Rocky, Coastal and Mackenzie ranges in the west; and Mount St. Elias and the Pelly Mountains in the north.
The first inhabitants of Canada were native Indian peoples, primarily the Inuit. Norse explorers probably reached the shores of Canada in 1000. John Cabot, an Italian in the service of Henry VII of England, reached Newfoundland or Nova Scotia. Canada was taken for France in 1534. The actual settlement of New France, as it was then called, began in 1604 at Port Royal in what is now Nova Scotia. In 1608, Quebec was founded. France's colonization efforts were not very successful, but French explorers by the end of the 17th century had penetrated beyond the Great Lakes to the western prairies and south along the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, the English Hudson's Bay Company had been established in 1670. In 1713, Newfoundland, Hudson Bay, and Nova Scotia (Acadia) were lost to England. During the Seven Years' War (17561763), England extended its conquest. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 gave England control.
At that time, the population of Canada was almost entirely French, but in the next few decades, thousands of British colonists immigrated to Canada from the British Isles and from the American colonies. In 1849, the right of Canada to self-government was recognized. In 1885, the country was linked from coast to coast by the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Canada is a developed country and one of the wealthiest in the world. Canada is part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

1993 Dodge Stealth Coupe 2dr Coupe
One of the best cars (out of 35+) I've ever owned. Great, head-turning styling to this day, good acceleration for a non-turbo, and comfortable seating. I've made 15-hour drives (Boca to DC) with only two gas stops and still had no back issues. The 20-gallon tank makes long trips a breeze, getting over 500 miles per tank. Have spent almost nothing on maintenance

I've always wanted one so when I had the chance to get one I had to get it. Once in it I experienced overwhelming joy as I pushed on the pedal. Its handling and performance are all that I expected it to be.

1993 Dodge Stealth Coupe 2dr Coupe
Bought this car used. Had 90K on it. Now, at 199k it runs just as good as the day I bought it. Do scheduled maintenance and you'll have no problems. The performance of this car has literally saved my life on several occaisions. Handling and braking are unmatched. Fuel economy is great. Even at 85 mph the care gets 28 mpg. This fall I'm retiring it and restoring it. It's too great a car to ever get rid of.

Longtime SF vocalist, Audio Angel, is hitting the studio to complete her FIRST album w/ new project Ex-Pyramids! Join us, won't you? Read more
Longtime SF vocalist, Audio Angel, is hitting the studio to complete her FIRST album w/ new project Ex-Pyramids! Join us, won't you?
About this project
Greetings + Salutations! I'm Rashida Clendening aka Audio Angel. Super stoked to share this project with you - I'm creating/completing my studio Debut Release featuring my newest music project Ex-Pyramids.
Many of you know, I've been singing and performing in the SF/BAY AREA for 15 years and in that time, mannnnnnny of you have encouragingly asked, "When are you going to make your OWN album?" Whelp, THE TIME HAS COME! Ex-Pyramids is me + my producer/drummer/best friend Mike Reed (Sol Americano, The Telephones, Daly City Records). We use live instrumentation, sampling and programming to span electronic music genres. We like booty bass, gospel, video game noises and kittens. Can you hear it?
HOW YOUR PLEDGE CAN HELP: At the end of May, I'll be hiring Miles DeIaco of the amazing Different Fur Studios to co-produce, record, engineer, mix and master our album. Producing a physical CD for sale to be completed by end of June. Additional funding will also go towards compensating additional musicians and the video for the album's first single. Further funding would be toward a mini-tour of the East Coast in Fall or Winter.
You might notice that this all appears to be happening rather quickly! I've always been one who works great with deadlines and I let this upcoming performance opportunity be my inspiration – From 6/30 to 7/4 I'll be the artist-at-large (performing with any + everbody!) at The High Sierra Music Festival! It's going to be an awesome way to share my music with many new friends! Please comment if you'll be there!
So as of today (4/20), we have our studio time all booked and are working in our home studios to be ready to for the end of May! So please contribute and spread the word if you like and be prepared to receive in return our ridiculous gratitude, infectious inspiration and of course our music w/ some delicious REWARDS!
Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, my blog and right here at Kickstarter. This is about to be one of the busiest months of my life and I look forward to every minute of it!
Lots of love + harmony always - Rashida, your Audio Angel

* Looking for relatives related to Josiah Harban born in England 6-2-1861 (death 12-21-1945), immigrated to Iowa early 1880's
* Married Elizabeth Mary Meister (DOB 9-7-1871, death 9-17-1937) who immigrated to Iowa at age 10 with her family from Essen, Germany
Elizabeth had at least one sister, Clara Meister-Rimmer
* Ellen Harban Cox (their daughter) Married Alvin Cox in 1924 (marriage lasted one year) one son, Conrad Paul Cox born 11-29-1924, Conrad may have 1/2 siblings. Alvin Cox played around, drank & gambled, he died in TX in the 1980's.
My name is Martin Harban and I have just discovered the my heritage website with your request for relatives related to Josiah Harban.
My grandfather, George, was the younger brother of Josiah. I am aware of the American side of the family through Ruth Beener(nee Traffley)and Ed, whom I met in 1976 whilst they were on holiday in England. I am originally from Coventry Uk but now live in Australia(Perth in Western Australia).
I am married with two grown up children and five grandchildren.
I am interested in the family tree and would like to know more about the US side. I have a copy with some of the American relatives listed but it stops at Conrad Cox on your side of the family.
Would love to hear from you should you wish to follow up.
Very best wishes,

- World Cup betting
Messi to match Neymar at 19/5
Lionel Messi finally enters the World Cup stage on Sunday evening as Argentina - one of the tournament favourites - face Bosnia & Herzegovina in Group F.
Messi is expected to light up the tournament despite having a frustrating season at club level with Barcelona. He will look to rise above that just as his club-mate Neymar did with Brazil in the opening match of the tournament against Croatia.
If you fancy Messi to match Neymar's exploits by scoring at least twice in his opening match, you can get odds of 19/5 from William Hill on him doing exactly that.
A Messi to score/Argentina to win double is priced at 11/10, while if you fancy a shock double, try Edin Dzeko to score/Bosnia & Herzegovina to win at a mighty 12/1.

After the old big (80cm) Index has served almost 10 months, I had to dump it before Xmas and build a new one. This time with the following changes:
* basis from 6mm EPP to be crash resistatnt (I wanted 5mm, but no hobbyshop had it here...), rest as usually 3mm Depron. * SFG * pull-pull for elevator and rudder. * a separate servo for each aileron (I wanted them to be separately tuneable, differentiation, etc.). See the photos for the result. The electronics is just slightly changed from what I had before: * R610 OrangeRx R610 Spektrum DSM2 6Ch 2.4Ghz Recei ... stripped of the box to save weight. * TR_P10A TURNIGY Plush 10amp 9gram Speed Controller * 3 x TGY-1440A Turnigy 1440A Servo 4.4g/0.8kg/.10sec - ailerons, elevator * Dymond D47 for the rudder. * TR2204-14T TURNIGY 2204-14T 19g Outrunner * 8x4 GWS prop. * 300mAh 2S Turnigy Nanotech batteries. The weight w/o battery is 126g, so with a Nanotech (~20g), I am at 146 which is just 9g more than my previous version - very good result ! I tested is in the hall (so far with one pair of SFGs) and outside and it flies great - the SFGs help to hold it in KE. I will see if I install the breaks, but probably not - it would be nice for the hall but I want to have a universal Index also for outside, and I guess it would behave very bad even in the slightest wind.

Looks like I could open an Index factory ... my small (55cm) one was also in a pretty bad shape, so I decided to build a new one. This time ultra-light, looking at every gram. The goal is to have something not only for the hall but also for smaller spaces (such as lecture room at work . The key points are:
- milling the 3mm Depron to cca 1mm using my home-made tool - look at http://rcmania.cz/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=51638&start=15 (Czech, but the images are self-explanatory). I did not have any CAD for placing the ribs, just did it by hand. - pull-pull system for elevator and rudder. The servo shafts are drilled .8 mm and a CF rod is run through. The levers are also .8mm CF supported with Depron triangles. Kevlar thread is simply atached by a drop of CA + activator. See image for the elevator servo. - the wing is strenghtened with .5x3mm that is however no more .5mm thick, as I cut it approximately to half - it goes very well with a sharp knife! - the motor (AP05) has a new glass-textite back - this was not really driven by the quest for lower weight but because I screwed it up when changing the bearings. It is fixed on 1.5mm CF rods that are run to rubber blocks (6 x 6 x 1mm). This allows for re-ajustment of the axis and is quite good in crashes as the rubber takes most of the impact. - there is a Kevlar thread fixing the angles between fuse and wing not only in the lower part (as suggested in the plans) but also in the upper one. - I cut the balancing connectors on the batteries (Zippy 180mAh 2s), and removed the plastic cover. - I removed the plastic cover of TGY 6A ESC. The electronics is what I had before: HK AP05 motor, 3x HK 282 servos, TGY 6A regulator and 4ch Orange receiver with these small connectors. Prop as usual: GWS 5x3. Batteries Zippy 180mAh 2s, but I'll probabl also try with TGY Nanotech 300mAh (that perform very well in our big Indexes) and GensAce 250mAh that I just received. I did not have occasion to weight it yet, I will post the weight when it's done. Subjectivelly, it feels lighter than my son's one that had (when new) 54g without battery. So far, I was hanging in our living room, flight test to come, stay tuned EDIT: I have the weights: - w/o battery, the new Index has 43g - this is 11g saving, not bad. I looked forward to even less weight, but I would need to add some helium... - batteries (all with a piece of velcro, all 2s): -- zippy 180mAh 14.5g -- zippy 180mAh with cut balancing connector and stripped of the blue covering film 13.5g -- GensAce 250mAh - 18g -- Nanotech 300mAh - 17g This means that with the Zippies, I will be at around 56g, not bad. Looking fwd to maiden flight ! ImagesView all Images in thread

Hi Honza,
My 580mm Index has quite a lot of carbon to keep it stiff. This Index is very easy to fly and even I was hovering and knife-edging and looping and rolling. However clubmate Dave Wilkinson is on the sticks in this vid. Steve

AMD News ArchivesAMD's Catalyst Legacy Linux Driver Updated To 13.1While AMD has went months without updating their Catalyst "Legacy" Linux graphics driver for the Radeon HD 2000 through Radeon HD 4000 series graphics cards to support new X.Org Server / kernel releases and other bug-fixes, they decided today to finally put out an updated legacy driver! This updated AMD Catalyst Linux Legacy driver is tagged as version 13.1.
21 January 2013 - Catalyst 13.1 - 27 Comments AMD Catalyst 13.1 For Linux Officially Does X.Org 1.13Catalyst 13.1 for Linux was released on Thursday as the first AMD Linux binary blob of 2013. This driver is notable since it officially supports X.Org Server 1.13.
18 January 2013 - X.Org Server 1.13 - 39 Comments AMD's Open-Source RadeonSI Driver Sees New PatchesIt's been one year since AMD introduced their Radeon HD 7000 "Southern Islands" graphics cards, but the open-source RadeonSI Gallium3D driver for providing an open-source OpenGL driver for this latest-generation of AMD GPUs is still far from being in a readied state for AMD Linux customers.
17 January 2013 - RadeonSI - 16 Comments The State Of Open-Source Radeon Driver FeaturesAs a result of a discussion about when the AMD open-source drivers will be feature complete, AMD's John Bridgman summarized the state of some Radeon driver features like UVD video decoding, Hyper-Z, Hybrid Graphics, OpenCL, and other AMD Radeon GPU functionality on Linux.
16 January 2013 - Radeon GPU - 223 Comments Marek Makes MSAA R300 Performance OptimizationsRecently there was finally MSAA support added to the R300 Gallium3D driver. While multi-sample anti-aliasing finally made it to this open-source GPU driver that supports the old ATI R300 through R500 GPUs, benchmarks I did last week showed the R300 MSAA performance was a mess. Fortunately, Marek Olšák has made some significant performance optimizations to the R300g MSAA support.
15 January 2013 - Marek - 8 Comments HyperZ, MSAA Get Some Fixes In R300 Gallium3DIn addition to killing the Xorg R300g state tracker target, on Sunday Marek Olšák pushed a number of other changes into the vintage "R300g" open-source graphics driver.
14 January 2013 - R300 Gallium3D - 1 Comment R600 Gallium3D Getting Close On OpenGL 3.3 SupportThe open-source AMD "R600g" Gallium3D driver is slowly but surely closing in on OpenGL 3.3 support for this open-source Linux graphics driver that supports from the Radeon HD 2000 through Radeon HD 6000 GPUs.
13 January 2013 - OpenGL 3.3 - 44 Comments AMD R600g Now Does TBO, UBO & Advertises GLSL 1.40Last year UBO and TBO for the Radeon R600 Gallium3D driver was talked about and early patches proposed, but merged on Friday was finally this support for Uniform Buffer Objects and Texture Buffer Objects. With the OpenGL UBO/TBO support, the Radeon R600g driver is now advertising GLSL 1.40 as needed for OpenGL 3.1 compliance.
12 January 2013 - Changes - 32 Comments R600 Gallium3D Now Does Buffer Copies With CP DMAMarek Olšák has implemented support for buffer copying using the CP DMA engine on Radeon HD 4000 "R700" GPUs and newer.
9 January 2013 - CP DMA Copies - 13 Comments Radeon LLVM GPU Back-End Stripped From MesaThe R600 LLVM back-end for the Radeon Gallium3D driver was removed from Mesa.
7 January 2013 - Radeon LLVM - 14 Comments Radeon Kernel Driver Deprecates UMS Mode-SettingThe open-source AMD Radeon Linux graphics stack has been deprecating the user-space mode-setting (UMS) code for a while and is now finally making the kernel-space mode-setting (KMS) support the default Radeon interface for the Linux kernel.
6 January 2013 - Radeon UMS - 9 Comments MSAA Anti-Aliasing Finally Comes To Radeon R300gWhile the AMD Radeon "R300g" Gallium3D driver has been effectively "done" for a while, only this weekend has multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA) support come to this open-source graphics driver that supports the ATI Radeon X1000 (R500) GPUs and older hardware.
6 January 2013 - Radeon R300g - 30 Comments A Shader Disassembler For Radeon Gallium3DVadim Girlin has published a new Mesa branch that integrates a shader disassembler and ISA information tables within the AMD R600 Gallium3D graphics driver.
29 December 2012 - Shader Disassembler Radeon Driver Enables Full 2D Acceleration For HD 7000A commit to the xf86-video-ati driver this morning by AMD's Michel Dänzer says it enables full 2D acceleration for the Radeon HD 7000 "Southern Islands" GPUs.
27 December 2012 - HD 7000 Series - 78 Comments AMD's Catalyst A.I. Is Good For Few Linux GamesCatalyst A.I. is a feature built into AMD's proprietary Radeon graphics driver meant to enhance the OpenGL performance for certain games, but under Linux it's not incredibly useful.
20 December 2012 - Catalyst AI - 10 Comments AMD Made OpenCL A Bit Faster This Year On LinuxTo be published on Thursday and Friday of this week is the annual "year in review" articles for the AMD Catalyst and NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers. While those articles are looking at the OpenGL performance for all driver releases made in the past year, some OpenCL benchmarks were also conducted.
19 December 2012 - AMD OpenCL Benchmarks - 7 Comments UBO+TBO Support Comes To Radeon R600 Gallium3DDavid Airlie recently published UBO and TBO patches for Gallium3D that allowed the Softpipe driver to work with the OpenGL Uniform Buffer Object and Texture Buffer Object features. Airlie has now worked on AMD's R600 Gallium3D driver to support these OpenGL 3.x features as part of GLSL 1.40 support.
16 December 2012 - UBO+TBO Support - 27 Comments Radeon 3.8 DRM Picks Up Last Round Of FeaturesWhile there was already one round of driver changes for the AMD Radeon DRM kernel driver to be found in the Linux 3.8 kernel, followed by a second pull days later that landed a-synchronous DMA engine support, there's now a third set of changes targeting the Radeon driver in this next kernel release.
14 December 2012 - Radeon 3.8 - 3 Comments AMD R600g HyperZ Support Is Now In Better ShapeIt was just days ago that the R300 Gallium3D driver got HyperZ support fixed-up and was finally enabled by default for bettering the OpenGL gaming performance with the open-source Linux graphics driver. Now it looks like the newer R600g driver is getting into shape for properly handling ATI/AMD HyperZ.
14 December 2012 - AMD R600g - 10 Comments Radeon R600 Back-End Merged Into LLVMAfter being in development for the past year, AMD's Radeon R600 LLVM back-end has been merged into the upstream LLVM code-base.

Walkthrough - Secret Report FAQ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The World Ends With You Secret Report FAQ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Written by: Jonathan Run a.k.a SilverRawnblade Version: 0.97 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com ************************************************************************** Welcome -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to my little guide on the Secret Reports of the game The World Ends with You for the DS. If you haven't already cleared the game at least once, the information inside this FAQ will most likely ruin the story for you, so if you don't want things spoiled, beware! If you believe you have something to contribute, please send me a mail and I'll take a look at it. Hope you enjoy this :) ************************************************************************** Updates -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 06/30/08 - Small corrections, added a pig noise and modified a tip. 05/12/08 - Small corrections, man I made a lot of typos >_< 05/10/08 - Typo corrections 05/07/08 - Small corrections, including a clarification of SRS4's box 04/29/08 - Corrected some errors and added some boss noise symbol locations generously provided by other people. Also, GTAIV! Woot! 04/25/08 - Changed some formatting, added some new sections, finished off Another Day 04/24/08 - Finished off Secret Reports for Joshua and Beat, Another Day in progress. 04/23/08 - Started up the guide, added Secret Reports for Shiki. ************************************************************************** Information -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before you delve into the juicy depths of the reports, here's some info. *Just what exactly ARE the Secret Reports? The Secret Reports are documents written by a certain Mr. H about the background story that you don't actually get to see in the main portion of the game. They go pretty in depth, and explain a lot, so are therefore worth reading/achieving. *How do I access the Secret Reports? To even see the Secret Reports, you must clear the main game at least once. Then a new button, labeled "Chapters" will appear in your menu after you start up your game after the credits. *What are these star things? And how come I only have a few? Secret Reports are unlocked via completing the objectives set for you by each star. Each secret report can have one, three, or four stars that you must complete before you can read the Secret Report. *I completed all the stars, but where do I find the Secret Report? The Report itself is actually to the right of the stars. It is a blue paper with a bent right-bottom corner that you can select, opening up the Report for you to read. *Do I have to complete the Secret Reports in order? For the most part, yes. You will see that many of the Secret Reports require a Secret Report from a previous Day, or even a previous week. *Do I get anything for unlocking all of the Secret Reports? You mean besides the feeling of completion? Yes! Although it is very small, if you beat the Beat Day 7 and watch the ending sequence once more, there's one more cutscene that will show, but I won't spoil it for you. It's at the very end, right before Neku throws off his 'phones, so be patient. It's a very, very short scene however. *Help! I can't find X or Y! Well, look below then; don't be so lazy. *What are Pig Noise symbols and/or boss symbols? If you don't know what a Pig Noise symbol looks like by this time heaven help you. Pig Noise symbols are greenish noise symbols that are supposed to look like a pigs face (although I don't really see it.) They tend to float around in non-obvious places so you may have to scan multiple times to find them. Pig Noise battles usually require some specific pin, or method of defeating them. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |NOTE: Pigs drop the same loot no matter what difficulty you | | choose. | **************************************************************** The boss symbols are unique looking symbols that are blue and cause you to fight one of the bosses you have fought before. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |NOTE: If you do a chain reduction battle involving the boss | | symbol, you will NOT complete the star! Also, it has to be | | the SYMBOL you kill, not the actual boss from the | | storyline. | **************************************************************** And in case you did not read my welcome warning: THIS GUIDE CONTAINS ____ ___ ____ ____ ____ _____ | | || | | | | | | | |____ |___|| | | | |____ |____| |_____ | | | | | | | |\ | | | | | | | | | \ | ____| | |____| | |____ |____ | \ _____| ************************************************************************** Index -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To find a secret report you want, search the FAQ for the code (Typically Ctrl + F) Week 1 - Shiki Misaki Secret Report 1 - Day 1 - SRS1 Secret Report 2 - Day 2 - SRS2 Secret Report 3 - Day 3 - SRS3 Secret Report 4 - Day 4 - SRS4 Secret Report 5 - Day 5 - SRS5 Secret Report 6 - Day 6 - SRS6 Secret Report 7 - Day 7 - SRS7 Week 2 - Joshua Secret Report 8 - Day 1 - SRJ8 Secret Report 9 - Day 2 - SRJ9 Secret Report 10 - Day 3 - SRJ10 Secret Report 11 - Day 4 - SRJ11 Secret Report 12 - Day 5 - SRJ12 Secret Report 13 - Day 6 - SRJ13 Secret Report 14 - Day 7 - SRJ14 Week 3 - Beat (Daisukenojo Bito) Secret Report 15 - Day 1 - SRB15 Secret Report 16 - Day 2 - SRB16 Secret Report 17 - Day 3 - SRB17 Secret Report 18 - Day 4 - SRB18 Secret Report 19 - Day 5 - SRB19 Secret Report 20 - Day 6 - SRB20 Secret Report 22 - Day 7 - SRB22 Week ? - Another Day Secret Report 21 - SRAD21 ************************************************************************** Week 1 - Shiki Misaki -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Secret Report 1 - Reaper's Game - SRS1| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neku comes to at the scramble crossing in Shibuya, a pin with a skull clutched in his hand... Complete the Following to view this day's report: Star 1: Get the nose glasses. (Meet up with the secret) Easily accomplished, just talk to the statue of Hashiko (the dog) Report Contents--------- 1/6 As is common knowledge, all Games in the UG take place under Our supervision. However, this particular Game is saddled with a nigh-unbelievable set of extenuating circumstances, catching the attention of the Higher Plane. Thus, I shall be taking a more hands-on role this time, as detailed in this report. The core differences in this game are as follows: 2/6 1: its role in plans for Shibuya's destruction, 2: the Composer's absence from the UG, 3: the resulting limitations to his powers, and 4: the Game being played by a proxy. The Composer has informed me of two major points: that he plans to destroy the UG, but also that his final decision will hinge on the outcome of his Game with the Conductor. A provisional rule for this Game requires the Composer to vacate the Underground 3/6 It is unprecedented for the Composer to be absent during a Game. I cannot predict what effect it may have. Furthermore, the Composer must lower the frequency of his vibe to travel from the UG to the RG, inevitably curtailing his abilities. This makes investigating the Conductor and his strategy incredibly difficult, as the Composer is still the only one who knows who and what I am. 4/6 It means lingering in the UG to author reports carries a lethal risk. The greatest Randomizer in the current Game is the use of a handpicked proxy to compete against the Conductor in the Composer's stead. No information on this person exists at the present. While the situation seems dire, I believe the key to getting ahead of all of this is at hand. 5/6 You see, time always builds upon the past. I have already located our key. It is a pin request from the Conductor. Normally, the psych manifestation of pins are determined by one's Imagination. Thus, by analyzing the pin, the user's Imagination-or rather, their true intentions-are revealed. Unfortunately, this order came through the Composer, and never came into contact with the Conductor. Thus, I could not use it to determine the nature of his Imagination. 6/6 I, too, have lowered my vibe to tune into the UG, limiting my abilities. However, at this stage, realizing that this pin holds the key is sufficient. The possibility of forestalling the plans for the UG's destruction remains. -------------------------------------- Secret Report 2 - Don't Kill Me - SRS2| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Complete the Following to view this day's report: Star 1: Collect the report for Shiki, Day 1. Star 2: Track down and eliminate all of this chapter's Pig Noise Symbols. Star 3: Get the sailor suit After clearing the "curse" from the moyai statue, talk to the man standing in front of it again to get the suit. Report Contents--------- 1/4 As the Game was set to end, I felt an intense burst of Soul. And at its source, I found the Composer's handpicked proxy-one Neku Sakuraba. Let it be noted that once danger was past, the Soul he expelled rapidly tapered off. I shall define Soul as it exists in the UG later. For now, let it suffice to say it is the energy he bears within him. 2/4 His unstable Soul is the result of a rift between his body and emotional mind. This discord can be traced to a few causes: 1: his dense and all-inclusive Soul composition, 2: emotional confusion inhibiting the unity of his emotional self and physical body, and 3: the exacerbation of that confusion by memory loss, due to his entry fee. However, anyone possessing such diverse Soul can become a formidable wielder of Imagination. The Composer was right to choose this boy. 3/4 Shibuya's fate may rest on how well he manages to stabilize his Soul. To measure his stability. I gave him a Harmonizer Pin. It can only be used when he cooperates with his partner. Synchronizing with another hinges on his ability to first stabilize his own Soul; thus successful use of the pin would indicate he has made progress on that front. 4/4 The further he is able to push his and his partner's psych resonance through Fusion, the greater his own internal stability will have become. The progress of his Soul merits close observation henceforth. ------------------------------------ Secret Report 3 - Who 2 Trust - SRS3| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neku and Shiki meet Hanekoma, a guardian, and learn of their dire predicament... Complete the Following to view this day's report: Star 1: Collect the report for Shiki, Day 2. Star 2: Track down and eliminate all of this chapter's Pig Noise Symbols. Star 3: Yukata (The forgotten ramen) After learning how to imprint, visit the ramen shop to pick up the word ramen, and then go imprint it on the tech's mind. After that, follow him to the ramen shop where you will get the Yukata. Star 4: Eliminate the Boss symbol No. 88 within this chapter at hard or above. Concert Stage in A-East; at the bottom-left corner of the area. -DO NOT DO CHAIN REDUCTION BATTLES- Report Contents--------- 1/5 Allow me to redefine the Composer's role. As I Continue to observe the Game's progress, I have a clear view of the of the enormous effect of the Composer's absence. A clear definition of his duties are key to understanding the extent of this disruption. The Composer holds absolute authority over the Underground. By "authority" I mean the right to determine rules. He is the only one who can change the composition of the UG, and sole creator of this Shibuya. 2/5 The Underground Shibuya is created and organized by the Composer's rules, which pit Players against Reapers in a struggle for survival. A new Composer only arises when the previous one is defeated; the victor takes the victim's place. At this juncture, the new Composer rewrites the rules of UG Shibuya. 3/5 However, there being no Composer at all is a different situation. It means that the rules that make up the UG are invalid. In other words, without a Composer, the Underground collapses. However, the Composer's absence is still a secret. At present, only three people know: the Composer himself; his opponent, the Conductor; and the Producer-me. 4/5 The Producer's role is that of Guardian over the Game. For observation purposes, he must sometimes descend from the Higher Plane to the Underworld. While the Producer is natively an entity from the Higher Plane, he can adjust the frequency of his vibe to visit the UG and lower planes. Think of a radio. Going from station A to station UG simply requires tuning in to a different frequency. The Producer has the power to contact any and all beings in the Underground. 5/5 However, he is strictly prohibited from revealing his identity in the UG. His existence endangers the stability of the rules and balance of the UG and RG. Thus, the Producer's identity must stay a secret from Reapers and Players-not to mention those in the RG. He may freely contact only one person as the Producer, and that is the Composer. ------------------------------- Secret Report 4 - Erased - SRS4| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To survive the Game, Neku and Shiki decide to team up with Beat and Rhyme... Complete the Following to view this day's report: Star 1: Track down and eliminate all of this chapter's Pig Noise Symbols. Star 2: Get the Mrs. Claus outfit.("I said, I want to go shopping!") After talking to Beat and Rhyme, try to leave for the Scramble and Shiki will yell at you cause she wants to shop. Star 3: Eliminate the Boss symbol No. 87 within this chapter at hard or above.

Within it are Reapers and human Players. It is infeasible for the Composer to judge all of humanity by himself, so a filtering system utilizing the Reapers was created: the Reapers' Game. Reapers act as a test, weeding out unfit Players. Upon becoming a Reaper, one's physical body changes, gaining incredible strength and an extended lifespan. 2/5 As Reaper and Player alike progress through the Game, engaging in Imagination-driven combat, their Soul is refined. Soul is an abstract matter revealed through Our research into life and death, and a component in the makeup of the atmosphere, humans, will, thought- all phenomena. As Reapers execute the Game, they undergo a process of evolution, from grunts to officers to4 the Composer. 3/5 However, Reapers that follow the ideal route are rare, and most are erased by Players. Reaper or player, those erased within the Game disperse the mind and spirit housed within their flesh in the form of Soul. Thus, they are erased only from visible existence: their Soul persists in the UG until gathered and tied together according to a new code. This new code is, essentially, Imagination. Given sufficient Imagination, any form is possible, be it a pin or a Reaper. 4/5 Variations in this code cause the Soul to manifest in different forms. In other words, humans, Reapers, and Noise are all entities of formed of Soul. The only difference is their code. And what are Noise? Entities without conscious will, only the drive to multiply. Thus, they constantly thirst for Soul, attacking Players and possessing humans in the Realground. 5/5 Soul consumed by Noise is destroyed, even if the Noise is erased. Thus, possessed by humans often exhibit a rush of euphoria immediately after the Noise is removed. Though untested, the same would likely hold were a Player or Reaper possessed. -------------------------------------------- Secret Report 5 - Empty Urban Legends - SRS5| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rhyme is caught in the Reapers' Trap and erased, leaving Neku and Shiki alone again...

Star 4: Eliminate the Boss symbol No. 90 within this chapter at hard or above. Molco; at the bottom-left corner of the area -DO NOT DO CHAIN REDUCTION BATTLES- Report Contents--------- 1/6 The Realground and Underground are planes of existence. Other planes exist as well: the one inhabited solely by Noise, for example, or Our customary plane. The planes are stacked in parallel, through each exists at a different frequency vibe, in tune with its inhabitants. Observing a lower plane from a higher plane is simple. Actual trans-planar contact, while possible, is highly complex. The vibes of adjacent planes are closer, making passage between them comparatively easier. 2/6 More distant planes show greater differences in vibe frequencies, and thus communion becomes more difficult. The UG exists just above the RG, allowing those in the UG to observe the RG, but not vice versa. Noise exist on a special plane that straddles both the RG and UG, enabling their interference in the affairs of both. When Players come into contact with Noise, they are drawn into the Noise plane. 3/6 In other words, Players are forcibly tuned in to the Noise plane. Conversely, there exists an even higher plane than the RG and UG. That is where I am from, the plane of the Angels. As in the RG and UG, Angels have created a web of social schema to guide their activities. Their role of Producer is just one cog in the Angel machine. 4/6 Angel vibes are extremely high-frequency; not even the Composer can catch them all. In actuality, he can pick up only that of the Producer. As you can see, inter-planar contact is beset by difficulty, but certain modes do exist for its realization. One is the modulator decal. Within its area of effect, Players from the UG can manifest visibly in the RG and communicate with others there. 5/6 Reapers and the Composer can down-tune their vibes at will. near these decals, however, even their vibes will be forcibly adjusted to the lower frequency. Another mode, imprinting, requires no physical manifestation in the RG. Imprintees experience the conferred thoughts as bursts of inspiration. The reliability of these communiqué thus depends on upon the person receiving it. 6/6 For example, successful communications with preoccupied people is unlikely. Furthermore, recipient interpretation of said "inspiration" colors the message, making imprinting unreliable at best. "Reaper creeper" was created as a mode of popular communication between the planes. Modulation paralogos printed on paper allow for limited UG interaction with Realground objects. As those in the RG are unaware of players, they perceive the illusion of a coin moving by itself. ------------------------------------------------- Secret Report 6 - Superiority/Inferiority - SRS6| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Game Master Higashizawa confronts Neku and Shiki, whereupon Neku learns of his own death... Complete the Following to view this day's report: Star 1: Collect the report for Shiki, Day 5. Star 2: Collect the report for Shiki, Day 3. Star 3: Track down and eliminate all of this chapter's Pig Noise Symbols. Star 4: Get the Solid Slammer. ("Totally gnarly!") Use the phrase "Totally gnarly!" when trying to convince the tin pin slammer boy, and he'll hand you the Solid Slammer. Report Contents--------- 1/5 I receive periodic communication from the Composer. While we maintain contact, I am prohibited from providing him with information for risk of unbalancing the Game. I am permitted only to respond to his commissions for certain items, and even then am able only to create and deliver said items. The Composer has requested increased phone functionality for use in the next game. 2/5 Today, the proxy's partner, one Shiki Misaki, freed herself from her defining value-envy. With this, the Composer is convinced of the proxy's victory on the seventh day. His confidence arises because the proxy's intervention was indispensible in causing his partner's growth. It signals the proxy's departure from his obsessive self-actualization loop. Previously, even the Composer was unsure of his proxy's capacity for growth. 3/5 Normally, the Composer possesses a certain degree of clairvoyant foresight. his current down-tuned state, however, limits his abilities, clouding this supertemporal vision. Though able to observe the UG from the Realground, he is otherwise saddled with limitations. For one, his outward appearance. He looks younger than he would at full vibe frequency within the UG. Fortunately this prevents the Reapers from recognizing him as the Composer. 4/5 To begin with, the Composer contacts Reapers only through the Conductor, so most are unaware of what he looks like. Additionally, as the being in the Underground with the highest vibe, some lesser Reapers are incapable of perceiving him. The effects of down-tuning occur because the Composer's vibe and the RG's frequency are substantially different. 5/5 For Reapers, the down-tuning necessary to exist in the RG is significantly less, and thus effects less prominent changes. That said, it depends on the Reaper. At any rate, the effect is minimal, making Reapers much more frequent visitors to the Realground. Provided they complete their duties, Reapers may do as they wish in the RG within certain accepted boundaries. --------------------------------------- Secret Report 7 - Wakeless Dream - SRS7| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Game's final day.

Star 4: Eliminate the Boss symbol No. 91 within this chapter at hard or above. Station Underpass; at the Right-hand side of the area -DO NOT DO CHAIN REDUCTION BATTLES- Report Contents--------- 1/6 As the Composer predicted, the proxy has won the Game. So, what happens to those who survive the week? Those whose Imagination is less than outstanding are broken down into Soul, while those with excellent Imagination become Reapers. The most talented of these may travel to the next plane, inhabited by Us Angels. Diligent Reapers, too, may pass through the office of Composer to ascend to the plane of Angels. 2/6 Now, what if... This may sound odd, but one may also choose to be reincarnated. Well, the word "reincarnation is not quite accurate, for the humans of the UG are not truly dead. They merely possess different Soul code, and have been turned in to a different plane. We Angels do not consider it a loss if a talented Player elects to return to the Realground, as their superior Imagination will inspire other humans. 3/6 Upon returning to life, the exceptional Players' creative activities soon make their mark upon society. His art, music, and other output become a part of culture, spreading and persisting through time, refining peoples' Imagination even without personal contact with the Player. Certainly this requires time, but no one has ever accused Angels of being in a hurry. The Composer's absence during this particular Game, however, means that reincarnation is not an option. 4/6 Only the Composer possesses the level of Imagination necessary to reincarnate. It is beyond the Conductor's means. The conductor continues to act as if the Composer were present, but this farce can only continue for so long. I will be watching with great curiosity to see how the Conductor responds once his ruse unravels. As I was busy writing reports, the boy in my custody, Beat, went missing. 5/6 Beat had expressed a curiosity in how Noise was created. Perhaps he plans to ask a Reaper. But even without specific instruction from them, he has the ability now. I gave him a pin filled with the special Imagination required to create Noise, and imprinted him with instructions for its use. This does not qualify as interference in the Game. 6/6 The information I gave him will have no impact on the Game's Results. It was merely a token of my esteem for his unflinching passion towards what he holds dear. Whether he uses this power, and how, is completely up to him. ************************************************************************** Week 2 - Joshua -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Secret Report 8 - Rulez - SRJ8| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neku, forced to replay the Game, scrambles to find another partner and a fighting chance... Complete the Following to view this day's report: Star 1: Get the potted plant. (Meet up with the secret) Easily accomplished, just talk to the statue of Hashiko (the dog) Report Contents--------- 1/4 As predicted by the Composer, the proxy has entered the Game a second time. The proxy has proven his aptitude, and will be joined in the next Game by the Composer himself as his new partner. There are three reasons behind the Composer's choice of actions: 1: to ascertain the Conductor's strategy, 2: to educate his proxy, and 3: to protect him. 2/4 With his return to the UG, the limits on the Composer's abilities will be relaxed. However, using his abilities could reveal his identity. As such, he will need to continue to limit himself for a while longer. This presents a certain set of risks. The greatest risk, however, lies with the Composer joining the proxy for this game. 3/4 The Composer's presence, his tremendously high vibe will place a great deal of physical and psychological strain on the proxy. Furthermore, the proxy's victory in the previous Game has won him back his memory. the self- actualization loop binding the proxy is thus stronger than ever-more deeply ensconced even than the envy cleared from Shiki in the previous Game. 4/4 There is a possibility of the proxy's Soul destabilizing, negating its progress during the previous Game. Slight problems also persist with the proxy's personality. How long will the proxy be able to bear being side by side with the Composer? -------------------------------- Secret Report 9 - Reapers - SRJ9| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neku teams up with a new partner, Joshua, but his feelings of mistrust only snowball...

Tispy Tose Hall, near the left side of the scene -DO NOT DO CHAIN REDUCTION BATTLES- Report Contents--------- 1/4 Today, an alert was handed down: the discovery of a Fallen Angel. A Fallen Angel is one who has broken the Angel's code-a criminal. Their crime: revealing the secrets of Taboo Noise refinery to the Game master, Minamimoto. Minamimoto knows the Composer's RG identity (secret even to the Conductor), and has chased him to the Realground. The Fallen Angel may also have supplied him with this information. 2/4 Minamimoto lusts to take the Composer's place, and his potential to do so comes second only to that of the Conductor. Despite being a complete outsider in the wager between Composer and Conductor, he stands to hinder the Composer greatly. It is entirely possible Minamimoto may rise to the office of Conductor before this wager has been decided. All eyes from the Higher Plane are on this Game for the future of Shibuya. Should its results be invalidated by outside interference, the Angels' disappointment would be vast. 3/4 So... What is the Fallen Angel's goal? Dominion over the underground? Retribution against the Angels? Whatever the case, we must carefully monitor Minamimoto's actions and stay vigilant against this Fallen Angel. ---------------------------------------------- Secret Report 10 - Roamin' the Streets - SRJ10| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Despite Neku's misgivings, he and Joshua head for Cat Street to complete their "mission"...

I informed the Composer it was ready three days ago, but they apparently had no time to come pick it up. It just shows how carefully the proxy is planning each move. The application detects the Conductor's Imagination. With it, one can walk around Shibuya and piece together the Conductor's strategy. 2/4 At this point, even I cannot fathom the Conductor's plan. I will have to rely on the information gathered by the Composer. While I wait for his findings, I will work on the Composer's next order-a second revision to the phone's functionality. Today also marks my first contact with the proxy since he formed a pact with the Composer. He seems considerably wary of his partner at present time 3/4 As expected, the psychological strain is severe. So severe, in fact, that most Players would be unable to continue. Right now, the only thing keeping the proxy in the Game is his entry fee. At least his dangerously strained state of mind is acting to heighten his Soul. I saw no sign of relapse or destabilization; rather, the return of his memory seems to have yielded only positives. 4/4 I look forward to watching the proxy's continued growth. --------------------------------- Secret Report 11 - Pinned - SRJ11| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- With missions on hiatus, Neku agrees to go along with Joshua and investigate Udagawa...

I suspect the limits upon his abilities. Meanwhile, Minamimoto has not issued any missions. The Reaper elites must be alarmed as well. Perhaps this is more of the Fallen Angel's influence... As I've stated, Minamimoto is suspected of a liaison with a Fallen Angel. 2/6 T |

The text below is an excerpt from the complete document. Read the full report in PDF format.
There is a significant correlation between the amount of amateur, informal arts activity in neighborhoods and neighborhood stability and/or improvement. This correlation is evidence of magnetization - an increase in the desirability, commitment, social integration, and quality of life in a community area. Arts create shared experience, they encourage intergenerational activity and make public spaces enjoyable, among other effects. For those reasons, components of comprehensive community development should include space for amateur and semi-professional activity.
There is a significant correlation between the amount of amateur, informal arts activity and neighborhood stability and/or improvement. This correlation is evidence of magnetization—an increase in the desirability, commitment, social integration, and quality of life in a community area. We believe this is so because arts make public spaces enjoyable, they create shared experience, and they encourage intergenerational activity.
Components of comprehensive community development should include space for amateur and semi-professional performance. There are many ways for philanthropy, government and the private sector to support the supply of informal arts, the demand for informal arts, and the availability of space.
The Value of Arts Activity
Documenting the "value" of local arts has been a topic of lively research and debate for more than twenty years. Early multiplier studies measured the scope of the professional arts sector—counting revenues and employees in professional arts establishments such as symphony, opera, theaters, and museums, multiplying by an economic "multiplier," and reporting the result as an estimate of the economic impact of the local arts industry. However, multiplier studies usually do not address the value of the arts for neighborhoods since venues for the professional arts sector are typically located downtown or in only a few select neighborhoods.
More recently, creative class studies have focused on the arts as an environmental attraction by which cities lure high-value-added "creative" industries. The argument is that the artistic cachet of a city is an important asset that supports the lifestyle of the "creative" workers in those industries—computer and math scientists, architects, engineers, social scientists, designers, and entertainers. The cachet argument expands the scope of the value of the arts in two very important ways:
Cachet studies address neighborhood benefits to the extent that high-pay, creative workers might want to travel to those neighborhoods for arts experiences, or even choose to live there.
What is a magnetization study? Data are presented to show that arts activities are desired by neighborhood residents, whether or not they are high-pay "creative" workers, and that neighborhoods with higher concentrations of arts activity have higher levels of neighborhood commitment and involvement. This magnetization of neighborhoods through the arts (as well as other activities) is associated with higher levels of neighborhood stability and/or improvement. To rule out economic level as a factor, all of the data presented in this paper are from low-income neighborhoods. The focus on low-income areas also allows a more specific discussion of the role that appropriately-conceived arts activities might have in strategies for neighborhood development.

Women of the World
Photos: (left to right) Condé Nast Traveler, worldhum.com, and AP
Today's World Savers Congress is headlined by three remarkable women: Condé Nast Traveler editor-in-chief Klara Glowczewska, Queen Rania of Jordan, and actress/activist Ashley Judd.
The first of these influential women just took the stage, calling upon the travel industry to harness its formidable power (to the tune of $8 trillion in 2008) and help those communities where it often makes its profits. She cited Marriott Hotels, a previous World Savers winner, which has just made a $2 million investment to save thousands of acres of Brazilian rain forest.
"Nothing opens people's eyes like travel--it breeds empathy," said Glowczewska. "With dialogue and cooperation, we can overcome cultural differences...and take things to another level."
To that end, she announced that the magazine's Five & Alive Fund has raised nearly $1 million within its first year. In a partnership with Population Services International (PSI) the fund supports the needs of children under five years old. It supplies medicines, anti-malaria mosquito nets, water purification systems, and nutritional supplements to young children in 36 countries.

New data from the Congressional Research Service shed light on a hot tax question: How many corporations have exited the U.S. for tax purposes in recent years?
A summary released Monday by House Democrats says that 47 U.S. corporations have reincorporated overseas through so-called inversions in the last 10 years. That's "far more than during the previous 20 years combined," Democrats say. And there are about a dozen prospective inversion deals involving U.S. corporations looking to reincorporate overseas, according to the data.

- Obama's Budget: Mostly a Political Document, and That's Just Fine
The full list of corporate inversions from the report is available here.
Rep. Sander Levin (D., Mich.) posted the report to make the case for legislation he's pushing that would make it harder for companies to move for tax purposes to the U.K., Ireland or other popular destinations. They usually do so by merging with another company – often a smaller one – that's already overseas.
So far the legislation isn't moving very quickly.
