BMC Software (NASDAQ: BMC), the leader in IT Service Management (ITSM), today announced the availability of its Remedy OnDemand solution for the government sector – the industry's first ITSM SaaS solution optimized for local, state, federal and public higher-education markets. Developed to meet the needs of government agencies, Remedy OnDemand for Public Sector is expected to be the first ITSM SaaS solution to receive the U.S. Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program's (FedRAMP) provisional authorization once FedRAMP becomes fully operational later this year. The BMC Remedy OnDemand solution provides SaaS access to the full power and capabilities of the BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite (ITSM), the world's leading IT service management solution. BMC Remedy OnDemand for Public Sector is designed to meet the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), and the low and moderate level security controls are being implemented as outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53, Revision 3 (Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations), for Software-as-a-Service. This FISMA compliance will be able to guarantee that the BMC solution meets or exceeds the minimum security requirements for government organizations. Unlike competitive offerings that attempt to address this market, the BMC offering will support FISMA guidelines for the application and the service in addition to the infrastructure. Dell is hosting the solution as part of a comprehensive private cloud IT solution for BMC. This gives BMC the critical capabilities to scale its environment according to customer demand and perform self-administration and management of virtual environments, supported by the Dell Cloud solutions team. In addition to the hosting services, Dell is also teaming with BMC to resell the Remedy OnDemand for Public Sector solution to public school districts and state and local governments across the country. "Dell has a longstanding history of supporting the public sector with solutions that help governments and education entities meet increasing data and IT demands, often under the pressure of shrinking budgets," said Mark Horan, VP global education and state and local government, Dell. "By hosting and jointly selling BMC's Remedy OnDemand we're able to continue to help the public sector advance its technology infrastructure and provide critical end-to-end IT solutions."
"Understanding the importance of compliance at the service level is critical to success in the government sector," said Rohit Gupta, vice president of research and development, BMC. "BMC Software and Dell understand the stringent security and compliance requirements government agencies must address to adequately manage their IT. Working with government agencies, BMC Remedy OnDemand for Public Sector removes the barriers to SaaS adoption in the government space."Strategic Impact The federal CIO's "25-Point Implementation Plan to Reform Federal Information Technology Management" places heavy emphasis on IT operational efficiency and effective management of large-scale IT programs. In response, Gartner advises CIOs and IT leaders that a "focus on the following three key areas will yield the fastest and highest impact: centralization and consolidation initiatives, cloud first, and IT strategic plans for light technology adoption." According to Gartner, "immediate action against these three high-impact areas is not only required, but sets individual agencies on the path to success."* Government institutions cannot rely on unproven ITSM solutions from fledgling providers to manage their technology services. They require a complete suite of reliable tools with the strongest security and compliance capabilities. The BMC Remedy OnDemand for Public Sector solution directly addresses this challenge by providing advanced security, disaster recovery and audit support options. Furthermore, the solution is scalable, easily integrated and intelligent and features an easy-to-use web user interface, support for diverse mobile devices and a powerful configuration management database. "Our industry has used complex IT-based programs for several years, so finalization of FedRAMP guidance provided us with the opportunity to examine our technologies to ensure efficiencies are gained and compliance achieved," said Wallace Wilhoite, CSIRC lead, digital forensics services, Department of Health & Human Services. "Remedy OnDemand for Public Sector has come at a crucial point in our 'lifecycle,' and we expect BMC to leverage its business experience to ease administrative processes, lower IT costs, provide strong security and ensure compliance."
The BMC Remedy OnDemand for Public Sector solution leverages BMC's existing ITSM strengths to provide service management everywhere for everyone. The solution's robust management applications enable government agencies to provide top-notch service while limiting costs at a time when budgets are constantly under pressure.BMC Remedy OnDemand for Public Sector is available on a subscription basis and allows customers to access service desk, self-service, change, asset, service level management, knowledge management, dashboard and analytics tools anywhere at any time.

Big River State Park
On an unusually warm and sunny December day, I had the pleasure of accompanying a small group of local girl scouts on their outing to Big River State Park. The objective of the day was to learn about trees and identify at least 5 different trees on our hike. Big River State Park, along the Mississippi River, is primarily an old pine plantation, established for the demonstration...

Blackthorn Hill Nature Preserve
On a beautiful Saturday morning in July, I had the pleasure of joining four other Master Naturalists for a walk along the trails at Blackthorn Hills Nature Preserve in Warren County. This park is a prime example of our region's Grand Prairie-Forest division. There are old timbered areas that open up to prairie as well as forested bottom land along the meandering waters of South Henders...

They have developed a great festival to display to the public how this old time...

Despite being off the beaten path ,...

One important lesson that the Master Naturalist training has taught me is to be observant of the natural world around me. The most amazing things can be revealed by watching and listening carefully to the land. I had always noticed a tall stand of grass in the middle of a neighbor's field since the time I first moved to the area. I watched the color of this grass change with the seasons...

I mentioned in a past post that I have been having problems with my ribcage in the last few months, and I said I'd tell more about it later. There was more to be told because I have the feeling that that pain appeared for a very specific reason and had a specific purpose. It took me a while to get to writing about it, though, because telling that story involves exposing some flesh and, well, it's not exactly the easiest thing to do… (and this turned out to be a very long post; sorry about that.)
So, ok, it's not easy, but I'm choosing to do it, if only for me to work things out in a more systematic manner than would be allowed by just letting the various parts of the story hang around in my mind in a somewhat confused manner. Also because it seems important to me to share about where I'm at these days, and this whole thing is an important part of it.
The story goes back to late February, when I learned about the Dance of Shiva. Reading about it, I was immediately struck by how much it would help me. Stuck patterns? Check. Needing and wanting help dissolving them? Check. A long-standing longing for a better working brain (in no small part thanks to Chronic Fatigue Syndrom)? Check.
I was feeling very strongly that this was the right thing for me.
I got the kit and got into Shiva Nata, loving it as much as I knew I would. While practicing, I was consciously working on trying to understand and dissolve some of my patterns. At first I was mostly asking: "what keeps me stuck in passive mode, and keeps me from switching to a more active mode?" – I wanted to know more about the pattern I've talked about in my very first post.
I didn't get huge epiphanies or crazy breakthroughs, but some great insights came up. Things like:
Oh, so I *must not* do the things I want to be doing, because if I do move forward with them, people around me would start expecting more from me (like, that I "live up to my potential" or some other such crap). And I really don't want anyone to expect anything from me. I see.
Hmm, so I go to bed very late and sleep the whole morning away because that's a way for me to ensure I won't have a productive day. Interesting.
Anyways. With those pieces of information and the self-work I was doing, I could feel that things had started to shift a little. I was feeling better, things were going in the right direction, I knew I'd soon be moving forward on my projects. I was really happy about it all.
And this is when my sternum started bugging me. Pain. Cracking. Not fun.
Still, I kept going, hoping it would get better. When I gently stretched my arms one night and felt a rib cracking twice, I thought it was broken (turned out it wasn't, but still: ouch), and I knew I'd have to stop doing Dance of Shiva's arm movements until my thorax healed for real.
Before I got there, though, I had an insight about that pain.
One day, sitting quietly after my Shiva Nata practice, I asked my body for information about that thoracic pain. After that, I wrote in my journal:
It feels like there's something that wants to come out, or to hatch, or to open, and there seems to be a part of me that tries to hold it back, to keep it from coming out because that part of me isn't ready for it to happen.
Minutes later, the pain was almost gone. Was it because I let it tell me what it was trying to tell me, and I acknowledged it? It seemed so. Of course, the pain came back, and things worsened, but every time I talked to it, it noticeably lessened.
Not to say that it was all in my mind, of course: the pain was real and incapacitating, and I knew what had physically weakened my thorax a few weeks earlier (too much stress put on that part of my body by carrying a heavy bag during my last trip), thus explaining why the pain happened there. But still, the underlying emotional component felt very real too. The connection between that pain and the part of me that was scared and felt threatened by the changes that were happening was clear to me.
Throughout this whole thing, I thought very interesting that the fear chose to physically express itself in my… ribcage. Which, just as interestingly, happens to be the cage that protects my heart.
It was as if the bars of the cage had been hardening to keep the things that were shifting and moving inside from coming out, and as if these things were trying to crack open these bars so that the new patterns that were in gestation could hatch.
So, as part of the healing process, I've included reassurance to my inner self that I'd take good care of myself throughout all of the changes that I want to see happening in my life. I'm learning to talk and interact with my fears, though for now I'm mostly talking to them, as I can't hear their answers very well. But still, I know they're listening, and my talking to them helps. And I'm working on the listening part too, so that they won't have to yell as loudly as they did with that pain. I'm getting back into trying to shift my patterns, but I'm doing so very carefully. I'm paying attention.
As for the physical healing, it's going well. As you know, I've been back into Shiva Nata's arms for a little while, so yes, my thorax is much better. The pain only happens occasionnally, and even then, it's much lighter than it was. I simply hope that the sternum-cracking-every-time-I-sneeze thing won't turn out to be a permanent after-effect…

July Schnibble of the Month - Which Will I Choose?
I also have three Schnibbles patterns that either I've kitted up myself ... like these two...
Hot Cross with the beautiful Patisserie by Fig Tree...
Sweetwater paired with Cindy Lou Who...
Philly Modern Quilt Guild's "Project Pure" challenge a couple of years ago...when I joined the Guild, they had just finished the challenge and I've wanted to make something with this line since then.
I also bought a kit online from Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe (sometimes I so wish I lived in Oregon to be near this quilt shop) featuring the beautiful Glace line by 3 Sisters paired with the Winter White pattern...

I vote for Winter White, only because I am working on getting my 2009 Designer Mystery BOM quilted and it was made with Glacé. Of course, you will be long done with your Schnibble before I am half done hand quilting!

I interned at Mad Magazine during the summer of 2011 when I was in college, and admirably served as one of the "usual gang of idiots," as the famously self-deprecating staff frequently refers to itself. While at MAD, I helped pitch, write, and create several posts for its just-launched blog, the aptly named Idiotical, which usually published satirical takes on a current news story. I also helped write copy for the October 2011 issue, and wrote most of the responses to all the letters to the editor. Below are some of the best Idiotical pieces I had a hand in, as well as my later freelance submission to the magazine.
MAD 20 — Tiger Mom
Every year MAD does a countdown of the 20 dumbest things of the past 365 days. This past year one of the topics MAD had singled out as being worthy of mocking was Amy Chua, the Tiger Mom. I came up with an idea that recast the Tiger Mom as a communist Chinese propaganda poster. The final art was done by Juan Doe.
Alex Trebek Security System
In late July of 2011, Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek made the news when he injured himself while chasing a burglar our of his hotel room. MAD Magazine was eager to promote his security services.
The Rough Draft of Rupert Murdoch's Apology Letter
When the News of the World phone hacking scandal broke, Rupert Murdoch wrote an apology letter that convinced no one. MAD imagined what the rough draft of the letter must have looked like. I took the lead in writing this letter.
The Debt Ceiling
We combined the summer's two major showdowns; Harry Potter vs. Voldemort over the fate of the wizarding world, and Barack Obama vs. John Boehner over the raising of the debt ceiling. The inter-office debate over how much to photoshop Boehner's nose took up the better part of the day.
The Iowa Marriage Pledge
When two candidates for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination endorsed a pledge that promoted the sanctity of marriage with some favorable comparisons to slavery, MAD took the whitewashing of history to its logical conclusion.
A prisoner's demand for pornography, and claim that it was a fundamental right that he was being denied, prompted us to think of some adult-video titles he probably could get away with. Profoundly immature I know, but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't one of the most fun days I've ever had at a job.


text: Jenna Fryer Associated Press Published 7:54 PM EDT Oct 13, 2018 Talladega, Ala. — Kurt Busch led a Stewart-Haas Racing sweep to put all four of the company cars up front at Talladega Superspeedway for a critical playoff race. Busch turned a lap at 195.804 mph to qualify in the top spot for Sunday's race. He edged teammate Clint Bowyer, who qualified second, ahead of Kevin Harvick and Aric Almirola as the Ford horsepower built by Doug Yates' engine shop proved superior in qualifying. "Four Stewart-Haas Racing Fords up front, I'm just happy I had the fastest one," said Busch, who won his first career pole at either Daytona or Talladega, the two biggest and fastest tracks in NASCAR. All four SHR drivers are still part of the 12-driver championship field, which will be trimmed by four following next weekend's race at Kansas. Almirola and Bowyer are tied for ninth on the playoff grid, barely holding on to transfer positions. "I've got to beat and differentiate and separate myself from my teammate, Aric, we're both 10 points out," Bowyer said. "I've got to capitalize on that somehow and close that gap here." Hendrick Motorsports had the next fastest fleet as the Chevrolets from Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson, Alex Bowman and William Byron qualified in slots five through eight. "All four guys in the top 12 is a strong showing for us," Byron said. "Qualifying doesn't reflect totally on how things will shake out Sunday and how you are going to race…. [Read full story]

In light of mounting evidence linking uterine morcellation to the spread of undetected cancers, it's not surprising that Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon unit has decided to pull its power morcellators from the market.
New York, New York (PRWEB) July 31, 2014
The controversy surrounding uterine morcellation continues to grow, as Bernstein Liebhard LLP notes that Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon, Inc. unit has announced that it plans to voluntarily remove its power morcellators (http://www.morcellatorlawsuit2015.com/) from the market. According to a report from Bloomberg.com, the company said it decided to do so because the risks and benefits associated with the devices remain uncertain.*
"In light of mounting evidence linking uterine morcellation to the spread of undetected cancers, it's not surprising that Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon unit has decided to pull its power morcellators from the market," says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm is now evaluating morcellator lawsuits on behalf of women who may have experienced the spread of undiagnosed cancers due to uterine morcellation.
Morcellation and Uterine Cancer
Power morcellators are used to cut up tissue during laparoscopic hysterectomy and fibroid removal so that it can be removed through a small abdominal incision. According to Bloomberg.com, Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon decided to suspend sales of the power morcellators on April 30, 2014, after the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) warned that use of the devices in gynecological procedures could spread undetected uterine cancer cells throughout a woman's body, resulting in an upstaging of the disease and greatly reducing her chances of long-term survival.
Since the FDA issued its alert, the controversy surrounding uterine morcellation has only grown. Earlier this month, the agency convened a panel of outside advisors to discuss the matter. According to a report from The Boston Globe, the panelists heard emotional testimony from cancer victims and their families, many of whom urged the FDA to ban power morcellators.**
On July 22nd, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a study that suggested the concerns surrounding uterine morcellation are well-founded. Among other things, the study found that as many as 1 in 368 women undergoing such procedures may have undiagnosed cancers present in their uterus. While women over 65 were more likely to have undetected cancer, the study found that 32 percent of the morcellation patients with undiagnosed disease were younger than 50.**
Women who allegedly experienced the spread of uterine cancers due to a power morcellator may be entitled to compensation from the manufacturer of the device used in their surgery.

Fifty-one Super Bowls in the book, and there has never been anything like what we saw last night in Houston. No Super Bowl has ever gone to overtime, but beyond that, a comeback from 28-3 down with 18 minutes to play all the way to win is something that will never be forgotten.
All the superlatives of the New England legacy have already been written before last night. This will just add to the list and continue to make them both the most dominant group of our generation and the most insufferable (depending on who you ask).
But I will always ponder the ideas of the Falcons as that game was getting away from them. They had the game in complete and utter control late in the third quarter and there was no way back for the Patriots unless they were given plenty of assistance. And they certainly were.
Up 28-9, the Falcons were given the ball at the New England 41-yard line to start the next drive after a Patriots onside kick attempt that was penalized. They quickly advanced it to the 32 on the next play and faced a 2nd-and-1 well inside field-goal range. However, a Jake Matthews hold and a sack on third down converted that potential scoring drive into a punt.
Up 28-12, the Falcons faced a 3rd-and-1 with 8:31 to play. They had a number of options using DeVonta Freeman as a runner in short yardage or play-action that has ruled the day. Instead, they line up in shotgun to pass with a virtually empty backfield - Freeman lined up in the H-back spot where a TE normally flanks out, which turns into a sack and fumble to put the Patriots back into the game with a takeaway deep in Falcons territory. If there was a consistent issue with Matt Ryan's performance on this night, it was his inability to avoid sacks. This one sure appeared to be a Freeman protection whiff on Donta Hightower, but regardless, the dreaded shotgun pass on 3rd-and-1 in a game where you are just trying to kill the remaining time is a frustration that will not soon disappear.
Then, up 28-20, the Falcons received a magical, seemingly historic catch by Julio Jones to give them what appeared to be a championship-clinching first down at the Patriots' 22. At this point, a field goal puts them up 11 with roughly 3:00 to play. Instead, Ryan takes another sack on 2nd down and Jake Matthews takes another penalty on 3rd down and what appeared to be a certain field goal has been converted into another punt from near midfield. They give the ball back and the rest is history.
There is no question that the Patriots made history in Super Bowl 51 and earned whatever plaudits are given, but the cooperation from Kyle Shanahan and Matt Ryan in the late stages of the game will certainly feel as if they aided greatly in giving this game away with poor game management.
Other (mostly Super Bowl) items for this week:
-- Another situation that was an underrated story was how New England dominated the time of possession and number of snaps last night. We complimented Atlanta plenty for building a young and speedy defense, but in a league where the defense is usually on the field for 60-70 snaps, they had six different defenders have to play 90-plus plays on Sunday night: Keanu Neal, Deion Jones, Robert Alford, Ricardo Allen, Jalen Collins, and Brian Poole. Those six represent most of that young speed and it is fair to say that they likely were out of reactionary quickness by the end. Give New England all sorts of credit for employing ball-control and give Atlanta plenty of blame for converting just 1 third down all night long. It takes two teams to work together to get one side a 93-46 snap advantage over the other, which is easily the biggest margin I have ever seen in a game of this magnitude.
-- I cannot stand the NFL overtime rules. This has nothing to do with what happened last night, other than the fact that one team lost the coin toss and didn't get a chance to put their MVP on the field. A coin toss should not determine a champion. I understand the argument that Atlanta should just stop them, but this isn't about merely last night. This is about the NFL trying to adjust its overtime rule to make sense and all of the tinkering has not gotten them closer. The college rule is better. But, basically, each team should touch the ball before we declare a winner. I think anything short needs more adjustment.
-- Congratulations to the Hall of Fame Class of 2017. Terrell Davis, Morten Andersen, Jason Taylor, LaDainian Tomlinson and Kurt Warner were the five who went in through the normal process. Kenny Easley was approved as the senior committee's finalist and Jerry Jones was put in as the contributor finalist. I saw plenty of people bothered by the outcome in another year of the complicated case of Terrell Owens, and I do consider him a Hall of Famer who will ultimately get in. But the cries of injustice are absurd for two major reasons to me: 1) There are all sorts of legitimate on-field conduct questions and a trail of coaches and quarterbacks who shared huddles and sidelines with him who would not call him a man worthy of unqualified honors. I think it is absurd for people to compare the destruction of locker rooms to off-field and off-roster conduct in a person's life to the idea that he just didn't understand the team concept in the ultimate team game. I equally think it is absurd to judge a player solely through a stat sheet, which seems like the only thing some people can see. This is a game that routinely promotes selfless sacrifice for team accomplishment, but somehow people want to act like Owens should not be held to this standard because it "shouldn't matter." I think that is quite an insult to an awful lot of great team players in the history of the sport. And 2) There is a maximum of five finalists a year inducted. Some players are allowed to skip the line and go right in because nobody can question their qualifications. If you put Owens in, you take one of these five out. All of them got enough votes to say they deserve induction, too. Perhaps they shouldn't be penalized for not acting in such a way that we have to discuss things like just not forcing divorces from three different teams in a way he did. He ultimately gets in, but please spare me "Owens, the victim" pleas about his case.
-- Julio Jones was targeted four times and caught all four passes. It was the fewest targets of the season for the best receiver in football and he caught every one. And his team lost. In other words, it is next to impossible to get your hands on that trophy.
-- Jason Garrett won coach of the year and Dak Prescott won rookie of the year in the NFL Awards. Ezekiel Elliott won MVP votes and finished third with more votes than every NFL player but Matt Ryan and Tom Brady. The future appears pretty bright around here.
-- It is now draft season. I will begin writing up prospect profiles and posting them for your enjoyment or critique this week. Eleven weeks between here and the NFL draft, where teams like these are put together. Can't wait to start diving in on the requisite 3 games/200 snaps of their best resume tape we can find. Nothing seen at the combine or the springtime will ever tell us more than we can find from simply watching football players play football.
-- And, as an added bonus, this week will also be the release of the Sturm NFL franchise rankings update. Fifty-one Super Bowls are in the books and the Patriots take another massive step up the charts into the Top 3 franchises of the Super Bowl era. Given that they were not in the Top 20 as of the year 2000, their rise all the way to the medal stand in 16 seasons is pretty remarkable. But, then again, so is what they have accomplished. You can like them or hate them, but you certainly owe them a little respect for these accomplishments.
-- Somebody stole Tom Brady's jersey out of his locker last night. I have never seen a guy look so sad after doing something so great. It seems if you do something like that, you should be able to have your own jersey. Give it back.

Letters to the Editor
Adopt a child
It's hard to believe that in the year 2015 abortion is still an issue.
The 24-hour abortion waiting period not only discriminates against poor women, but all women and their rights.
I'd like to propose a bill for all the lawmakers who oppose abortion that it be mandatory that they adopt an unwanted child, or one that is poor and hungry.
If the roles were reversed and men were the ones to get pregnant, this would be a non-issue.

Commuters are being asked to help the police with an investigation into a report of vandalism on Garscube Road in Glasgow.
Officers are hoping that people may have seen something on their way home from work at around 5pm on Tuesday (February 28).
A man is alleged to have approached the Cube Cafe on Garscube Road in St George's Cross at Queen's Cross which was closed at the time of the incident.
It is reported that he then stood on a metal/aluminium case and smashed the external CCTV system of the cafe with a metal spanner or wrench.
Then it is alleged that he forced open the shutter and proceeded to cause damage to the interior of the cafe. The cost of the damage is still to be estimated by owners. Nothing was reported stolen in the incident and no one was injured.
He is described as white, medium build, between 5ft 6ins and 5ft 8ins and approximately in his mid-40's. He was wearing light coloured jeans and a blue jacket.
Detective Constable Fiona Fraser, Drumchapel CID, said: "This was a brazen incident of vandalism which occurred on Garscube Road as people were travelling home from work.
"Many passing motorists may well have seen or heard the disturbance as they travelled towards Maryhill or down towards Cowcaddens during that busy period.
"If you witnessed this disturbance, or saw a man matching this description running away from the area, please contact officers with any information you may have."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Drumchapel CID via 101. Alternatively contact CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where information can be given in complete confidence.

Hey guys, today we're gonna tackle a requested subject, Augments that change the ammunition and or the way the gun works and not just adding a buff to a statistic. In short, it's stuff like the lightning augment, plasma charge system augment and more. Remember guys if you like these videos please be sure to hit that like button it really helps me and the channel and lets me know what you want to see. Without further delay, let's get right into it. <title:> So we'll start this showcase slash breakdown with 'Electrical Conduits', This augment changes the projectile of a gun to streams of electricity, it essentially shoots lightning out of your gun, it looks freaking badass. For most weapons however this augment will severely diminish its damage, for example, a very high damage weapon like Dahn will be rendered almost useless, it's damage taken from 1000 on the highest beast model down to 50.
Thanks to many people making this mistake, we can all learn and not put it on Dahn. BUT! If you put it on a low damage high rate of fire weapon it becomes somewhat unstoppable. To make this video less than an hour long I will be choosing the weapons I test the augments on via a mixture of research scattered around the internet, recommendations and logic, each weapon will have only the augment in question unless otherwise stated with no mods at rank 2.
For Electrical Conduits I have gone for Cyclone from Milky Way at 34 Damage and 675 rate of fire, Soned Assault Rifle from Heleus at 39 Damage with 850 rate of fire and from Remnant P.A.W. assault rifle with 42 Damage and 600 rate of fire, Firstly you can see they are all assault rifles, this is due to submachine guns being a wimpy version of an assault rifle packing little punch but an even smaller rate of fire, this augment would be wasted on an SMG, all other weapon types are too high damage and lose most of it from the augmentation. For the Soned, I was largely disappointed, It was very slow to start, reminiscent of a minigun and while the clip size was nice, it's damage was mediocre, capable of taking down a shielded Kett with a clip is good but it was quite slow, I have many more weapons that can take it down quicker.
It is also not an accurate weapon, it's lack of support for even a tiny little scope puts me off completely, my personal preference for an assault rifle is to scope it, I don't want a huge distance I just prefer the clearer control and view. I should also mention that this gun is by far the most expensive out of all 3 requiring 60 Eiroch Fluid Sacs at rank 1 already hitting 70 at rank 2, that's a lot of Sacs for such a 'meh' weapon. The P.A.W was quite enjoyable, I don't consider it an amazing weapon with this augment compared to other weapon and augment combinations, it rolls up instantly and does very nice damage, the low clip size before overheating, however, is a large drawback, I don't think it packs enough of a hit to warrant such a small clip size. From what I see, many consider the P.A.W the best out there for this augment but I disagree, it is in fact the cyclone, now this weapon deal less damage per second than the P.A.W., it's quite obvious, until you take into account the P.A.W.'s overheating, with that, the cyclone destroys it.
With a larger clip size, it is far more usable, but this is balanced with the fact that it has finite ammo and does take a moment to spin up before shooting the lightning, even with that though, I consider it the best as it is the most usable in the average battle and the most well balanced of the 3. With all of that being said, however, I won't be putting a cyclone in my loadout anytime soon as this augment isn't worth your time in my opinion, there are far better weapon augment combinations out there, this may become useful in the future, but currently it just looks awesome and that's about it. As my father used to say, it's like lettuce, lots of colour but no taste, the man only ever ate iceberg back then, no wonder he'd say that! It should be noted that the effect it has for armour is very interesting and could be an exceptional augment for the armour of a high melee player. For our next Augment, we have 'Grenade Launcher' The effect turns any projectile into a grenade for non-shotgun or for shotgun turns any shot into grenades yet they are less powerful.
From a little looking around, others have found it to work well with shotgun, this makes sense as anything with any range would be near impossible to remain accurate, the grenade will quickly begin to drop off, rendering aim to be somewhat difficult. A shotgun, depending on the type, so not Dahn again for anyone wondering, will have multiple projectiles per shot all becoming grenade, sure they have reduced power but with the right gun it could be one hell of a lot of grenades.
I decided to go with the recommended one from Milky Way, the Reegar Carbine Shotgun, which from others research appeared to be the current winner and faced it off against the Heleus Hesh shotgun and the Scattershot shotgun from the Remnant, which also happens to be the only remnant shotgun. The Reegar Carbine was indeed quite fun and relatively powerful, the spray is large and explosive, the damage isn't anything to write home about but it is good, if you are to use this Augment at all, then put it in the Reegar carbine.
That brings me to the Hesh, it is ok at best, but only once you are used to aiming at the floor in front of your enemy for maximum coverage, or at super close range at their torso, the hesh has a super long reload time and does less damage than the Reegar Carbine, it's lack of accuracy makes this a no go in my opinion. As for the Scattershot, this just failed in a huge way, it was badass while it fired, then it reached 0% and overheated, I waited and waited and it never cooled down, it stayed at 0% even after jumping back in the Nomad and driving elsewhere, I even tried picking up ammo in case it was a weird ammo weapon now. Do not use the grenade launcher on the Scattershot, it's pointless. The next augment may as well be the sticky grenade, and as it does everything the grenade launcher does but with adding glue, we can logically hand this to the Reegar Carbine… NEXT! Now onto the 'Ricochet System' augment, This augment would logically suit grenade launchers, putting it on a sniper rifle would give it scarce opportunity for use as you are usually so far away that finding a correct angle would be unlikely in most cases, all other types are worse as a shotgun is close range and with the general design of the game offer few hallways to fight in, assault rifles, pistols and SMG's do to little damage per shot to keep up.
As there is only one actual grenade launcher in the game, the M37 Falcon, it is the only clear choice for a single augment test, however, using this with the Plasma Charge Augment could prove quite effective. In case you're thinking it, there's no point adding this with the grenade launcher augment as it ricochets anyway. The Ricochet in the M37 Falcon is quite cool and certainly useful in some indoor situations but not all that impressive in general, However! If you mix it with the Plasma Charge augment it is a friggin beast, It explodes on both the bounce and contact allowing you to just plaster the enemy with death, hitting them square on results in insane damage, I would recommend this combination on the Falcon, though I will personally stick with the Dahn. Next is the 'Plasma Charge System' This fires direct line explosive plasma bolts, you can charge it for a triple threat attack, I am not generally a fan of this, it says direct line but the charge does drop over distance, I originally attached this to my Remnant sniper rifle and had to aim way above to hit.
The internet appears to say it is only really useful on snipers as a single mechanic change augment, I disagree in it's use at all as a singular and think it's perfect with the ricochet on the Falcon but otherwise useless, never the less I will test with the 2 suggested weapons, the Black Widow and the Isharay, both sniper rifles, high damage, low clip and rate of fire, let's see how straight it flys on these. I am happy to say I was wrong about the Black Widow with the Plasma Charge system, it is definitely as predicted completely useless at distance due to the arc making any headshots at long range impossible, but it performs extremely well at mid range, super high damage, taking out an observer in just under 2 shots, this thing has power, but isn't that what assault rifles are for? I use my sniper at long range, sometimes at mid, shotgun at close with assault rifle to fill out mid to close.
I think it's useful, but there are better choices for the average player, it definitely a preference thing, no doubt about that, but it is stupidly powerful at mid range if you get the shot right. The Isharay though, I felt the augment actually made it worse, this is an incredibly powerful sniper rifle that is actually a little less effective at any range than the Black Widow with the same augment, the main big huge difference, is, that the damn thing only has one shot per clip, that makes this weapon ONLY viable at all at long range, this augment makes it mid or nothing so pointless to use on this weapon.
Now we have the 'Seeking Plasma System' There is only one contender in this category as it's easily the best, this contender dear viewers is the otherwise god awful Soned Assault Rifle. This expensive as balls crappy excuse for a rifle has low damage with an insane 850 rate of fire, this would be great except the accuracy is just so damn terrible, the Seeking Plasma System however essentially gives it maxed out accuracy, making it a really good weapon. It still has the minigun startup, but once it's going it pretty damn cool, this also won't be my assault rifle of the future but even at rank 2, it was tearing things up. I personally like accurate, high power single shot rifles so this was never going to win me over, but I appreciate it's badassery. The last augment is the 'Beam Emitter' This augment turns your ammunition into a continuous energy beam, it is known to be quite cool but not all that effective, with low rate of fire high damage it merely snips their damage hugely, and with automatic weapons it is just ok, nothing special, it is clearly just for looks type deal and unfortunately doesn't really give anything of import, and considering it takes up an augment slot, it's best left alone.
I naturally tried it out kinda for funsies with the Revenant, fully automatic Assault rifle with awful accuracy, hoping the beam emitter would fix that accuracy, it did not, the beam appeared to hit but there were large occasions where no damage was done, this implies that the accuracy rating of 52 is still active making it just a bit crap. This guide took more time than anticipated to put together due to the huge amount of research and testing, so if you could let me know via a like, dislike and maybe a comment whether you want these types of guides, I'd be extremely grateful.
That being said, if you've made it to this point I already appreciate you and thank you for watching. Also remember guys that all of these tests and therefore my opinion derived from them were performed on Rank 2 weapons, with only the augment in question and no mods, the general damage and effectiveness against certain types of enemy or in certain circumstance can be quite different with a number of different setups, so be sure to bare that in mind when digesting this information. Have an awesome day folks..

nrdo (NetReach Database Objects) - Summary
This project is not part of the GNU Project.
nrdo (NetReach Database Objects) is a database programming tool.
Its primary purpose is to make database programming easier and more convenient. To this end, it performs two separate but related functions:
1) It allows database table definitions to be specified in a source code file. This provides a number of advantages: The files can be maintained in source code control, it is easy to upgrade an old installation to the latest version of the database, and it is possible to include more semantic information than the database itself actually knows. nrdo is invoked at compile time: it reads these table definition (.dfn) files, checks the current state of the database, and performs whatever CREATE or ALTER statements are necessary to make the database match the dfn file.
2) It generates all the repetitive code that is necessary to access the database from a programming language. Current supported output languages are Java and C#, but the language output is generic and new languages are easy to support. Instead of manually creating a database connection, executing an SQL statement, looping over the results and reading the returned data values manually, nrdo generates a class that represents a data row, for each table. It makes use of the extra semantic information in the dfn file to provide functions or methods to retrieve rows of the database by whatever criteria you specify.

nrdo has been released as Free Software (open source) and will be maintained on Savannah. I'm gradually moving stuff here. Currently, you can use the mailing list, bug tracker, and task manager. Later, we will also start using Savannah's CVS repository for maintaining the code itself.

Second Citizenships
Economic Citizenship Programmes are available from the CARICOM countries of: St.Kitts & Nevis, Dominica and Grenada.
We are able to process applications directly in all of the above jurisdictions, but recommend St.Kitts & Nevis due to our established contacts and network and direct government connections on Nevis, assuring applicants a smooth, hassle-free, efficient and successful process.
St. Kitts & Nevis, W.I.
The Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) is the Government Authority which handles all matters concerning Citizenship by Investment in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. The Citizenship-by-Investment Program was established in 1984, making it the longest established program of this kind in the world. It has distinguished itself from many other similar programs by rigidly enforced investment requirements and meticulous due diligence procedures.
The government of St. Kitts and Nevis utilizes this program to attract investors of good character to make a substantial contribution to the development of the Federation. These investors are then given the opportunity to apply for citizenship and passports within the strict guidelines of the law and the relevant regulations.
There are two investment options available: Purchasing property in an approved property project for a minimum of US$400,000, or a similar investment in the Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation (SIDF). The preferred option is the property purchase as property on the island retains its value and offers capital gain potential as well as rental income potential to prospective owners.
We have direct contacts to various established property developers on St. Kitts & Nevis, particularly the world-renowned Four Seasons Resort on Nevis, which offers a unique property ownership programme through villa ownership on their award-winning 18-hole championship golf course and a Four Seasons rental programme with steady and regular income for the property owners.
Our senior partner Axel von Schubert is a long standing permanent resident of Nevis and an official representative of the Government of Nevis. He has owned property at the Four Seasons Resort and assisted with local development and is able to negotiate excellent conditions as well as assure a smooth 'fast-tracking' of Second Citizenship applications. The costs for the complete application process through our 'fast-track' is US$250,000 and includes:
All legal fees, government fees, administration and handling costs, US$7,500 for due diligence for the main applicant, US$4,000 for wife and US$50,000 each for registration fees for the main applicant and wife.
The time frame is approximately 3-6 months from the date of submission of the complete set of information and required supporting documents, which include:
Economic Citizenship information in St Kitts and Nevis
Looking for a Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship advisor? Citizenship By Investment Program, known as 'Economic Citizenship'. For those interested in the St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Program, we can offer help with the following for purchasers of selected real estate.
Citizenships in the European Union
We offer not only government approved economic citizenship programmes from various countries around the world, but are able to advise on the procurement of second citizenships for qualified individuals in member countries of the European Union.
ECMS possesses contacts to the governments of a number of EU Member countries which offer citizenship to only a small and select number of highly qualified applicants.
We have currently two country options available, Malta and Cyprus, where we have obtained several successful citizenship approvals for clients:
Malta and Cyprus are currently the only EU Member countries, offering a fully approved, Government citizenship programme. The costs for obtaining Citizenship in Malta are a minimum of €1Million and there is a residency requirement of 1 year. Due to our contacts we are able to dramatically shorten the application process and are able to offer a 'VIP' treatment for selected clients on a 'one on one' basis. Please contact us for further information for both Malta and Cyprus.
For all further information and queries, as well as information on the application process itself, please contact us directly or one of our Approved Country Agents (ACA).

The Center for Disease Control is the flu-monitoring powerhouse of the federal government, with an army of statisticians working around the clock during flu season to stave off a pandemic.
In order to monitor the impact that microscopic virus has on a population of 300 million, the CDC has built a vast network of more than 2,700 outpatient health care providers.
The U.S. Outpatient Influenza-like Illness Surveillance Network (ILINet) reports statistical information about more than 30 million patient visits every year.
Here's how it works. Every week, around 1,800 of the 2,700 ILINet participants report data to the CDC about the percent of patients seen with influenza-like illness symptoms.
Anytime someone comes in with a 100 degree fever and a cough or sore throat without a known cause, that's one person marked with influenza like illness symptoms.
The national baseline is 2.2 percent of patients reporting influenza-like illness symptoms every week. The baseline is derived by calculating the mean percentage of patient visits for flu-like symptoms during non-influenza weeks for the preceding three seasons and adding two standard deviations.
Regional baselines are also calculated. These range from a baseline as low as 1.4 percent in the upper northwest region to a baseline as high as 3.5 percent in the southwest region.
The way the CDC determines flu severity depends on the difference between the reported percentage of influenza-like symptoms in a given week compared to the national or regional baseline.
Here's where the math comes in.
Every week, the CDC calculates the number of standard deviations away from the mean the reported percentages for each region are.
So for the southwest region, the CDC calculates severity based on how many standard deviations higher the reported percentage is from the 3.5 percent baseline.
The ten flu "activity levels" correspond to the number of standard deviations above or below the mean the current week compared to the baseline.
Here's how they translate standard deviations to English:
- Values lower than 2 standard deviations above the mean are classified as "minimal"
- Values that are between 2 and 4 standard deviations above the mean are "low"
- Values that are between 4 and 6 standard deviations above the mean are "moderate"
- Values that are between 6 and 9 standard deviations above the mean are "high"
Now, here's where mortality comes into play. The CDC also receives data from 122 cities reporting the total number of death certificates processed and the number of those that listed pneumonia and influenza as a contributing or underlying cause.
These number of deaths are compared to a seasonal baseline and also an "epidemic threshold value" calculated for each week.
The baseline comes from a regression of data from the previous five years.
The "epidemic threshold" is an increase of 1.645 standard deviations above that baseline, when the proportion of deaths from the flu are significantly higher than expected at that time in the absence of widespread flu mortality.
We just passed the epidemic threshold for 2013. This sort of thing is exactly why if someone hasn't recieved a flu shot, they need to get one now. The epidemic threshold for this week was 7.2 percent of deaths being the result of the flu. We're at 7.3 percent.

How do I fix 'Error: Unable to save the resume file?'
Last Updated: Sep 28, 2011 03:36PM PDT
Delete %AppData%\uTorrent, then uninstall and reinstall µTorrent. If this fails, create two blank files named 'settings.dat' and 'resume.dat' (without the quotes) in the same folder where you downloaded utorrent.exe. Make sure Windows is not hiding the file extension when creating the file.

hundreds of designs to choose from!
Cutting edge does not begin to describe the innovative design of the Delete it All Cufflinks. In the information age, these cufflinks ring a bell with virtually every professional. The one-half-inch "Delete" key design sits on a sturdy square made with pure silver. Pure silver requires little effort to polish and the effort that you put in results in a highly reflective top to a rhodium silver mount. Have a little fun during your next work gift exhange by adding this pair of cufflinks to the Secret Santa grab bag mix.
I like these attractive cufflinks because the word "delete" brings both a nerdy and whimsical charm to a business suit.

The Truth About Music
"What's hot, what's not, and whats next in pop music"
Topic: Bios
The Truth About Harris
People often ask me, "Why pop music?" Is it the money? Is it the popularity? The thing I love most about music is the way it can light up a room. The way a pop song can put a smile on someones face, unite a nightclub or fill an arena. When the first few chords are strummed or the initial beat is laid down, everyone in the room feels it, connects with it. There is a raw emotional relationship to the song and it is for that reason that I have devoted myself to the genre. In my life I have gone through more music turbulence than I care to recall. The first chapter of my life saw '70s disco and boy bands. At another time, I worshiped rap and hip/hop and still to this day, can't live down the fact that I once called Fall Out Boy a talentless [...] Continue...
The Truth About Kevin
Hi, my name is Kevin Clarkston. I'm a part-time freelance writer, blogger, and musician. I love music. Rap, hard rock, pop. dance, R&B, it doesn't matter. I've been playing piano since I was nine, and also taught myself how to play guitar. I went to Northwestern State University where I graduated with a degree in journalism. While there I wrote for the school paper and worked as the music director for the campus radio station. I currently work as a production tech at a television station in Alexandria, Louisiana, but writing about music and pop culture are my true passions. What I love most about pop music is how democratic it is. Two people might not be anything a like, but they can find common ground in a favorite song. I've done freelance work for sites like Suite101 and Metronome Review, I also maintain a music blog, Indies and The [...] Continue...

The Truth About Tara
Tara Berkoski joined The Truth About Music in 2011. She covers concert reviews on Long Island, NY along with nearby locations. She also interviews musical acts passing through the area. She was always fascinated by music and radio for as far back as she can remember and began attending concerts as soon as her parents allowed. She was always "that girl" in the front row singing loudly, dancing wildly, snapping photos and enjoying every minute of it. She graduated from the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford in 2010 with a major in Performing Arts Management, minor in Business Administration and concentration in Publicity. While in college, Berkoski interned at Toad's Place, a live music venue in New Haven, CT.

The Truth About Jon
Hi my name is Jonathan Custodio also known as Jon. I'm 21 years old and I'm currently studying Philosophy with a concentration in Law and Ethics at Northeastern University. As of right now I plan on going to Law School and pursuing a career as a talent agent primarily representing musicians and actors. Music is my life. I can't go a day without listening to music in any form. From rap to techno to punk rock to classic rock to reggae to alternative. Anything and everything EXCEPT country, because I don't see it as a legitimate form of music. You can fight me on this all you want but country music is a joke. As a part of this staff I will be bringing to the table both reviews and interviews of shows and bands that perform in the Boston area, and album reviews, movies and TV reviews etc. So [...] Continue...
The Truth About Tom
I'm Tom. I live, write and make drinks in Los Angeles, California. I was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, a fact some people dispute, saying "No one is from Delaware." This is simply not true, and I am living proof. Upon graduating from the University of Delaware with a BA in English, my goals were simple. First was to not live in Delaware. Second was to start making money. I figured I would like to act, write and bartend, in that order. It turns out that the reverse order indicated how profitable each of those vocations would be. So here I am in Los Angeles. I get on stage every once in a while, do some internet videos, serve drinks at a sports arena/performance venue that I won't name outright for legal reasons but it's not tough to guess. You can find out more at my website www.iamtomhamilton.com. And [...] Continue...
The Truth About Melissa
I'm Melissa McCarthy and my life is a never ending soundtrack. Music defines my existence and I'm in love with everything about it- even when it's really, really terrible. I'm a rock girl who listens to EVERYTHING, and my music taste is even more A.D.D. than I am. Jay-Z is my idol and the only thing I'm more obsessed with than Brand New is the art of making mix tapes. My dad started me out with one when I was six and I've been hooked ever since. I love the way you can pop in an old CD and it takes you back to a particular moment in time. You're reminded of where you were, what you were doing, and who you were with. For every song on every CD, I have a story to tell and my memories can all be found in my CD collection. So, if we [...] Continue...
The Truth About Jay
With the proliferation of suburban monotony and pop-culture's abduction of counter-culture, it's time for a spotlight to be put on real artists: The Do It Yourself troubadours whose artistic expression takes precedence over album sales. The poets and warblers who lack the big budget marketing to become mainstream, but create worlds all their own. Working for the music mainstream himself, Jay has seen nearly every music video in the Universal Music catalog during his time in Video Production. The result is an eclectic musical taste intended to blend new flavors for a world sick of the same old song again. Continue...
The Truth About Brianne
I'm Brianne Galli, a freelance writer/blogger based in Buffalo, NY. I first wanted to make a career out of writing when I learned about muckrakers in 8th grade, but when I was told that no one would be my friend, I abandoned the idea and turned to music. I now aim to be a muckraker of music bringing lesser known bands to the forefront and giving them the coverage they deserve. Though I grew up on the classic rock of Zeppelin and The Doors, my musical interests range from MGMT to Al Green and everything in between. Continue...
The Truth About Dave
There are two things in my life that I probably couldn't live without—technology and music. The first is a passion I've devoted my life to. But this blog isn't about technology—I have another one for that. This blog is about music, my second love in life. Music follows me; it's like a massively creepy sociopath always breathing down my neck. This is not to say it's not wanted—I like this sociopath. Wherever I go it goes with me, and I've gone far. From England to America, and a quick stop in Australia, the places I've lived have inspired and changed me. Each one has left their individual musical imprint. The vast difference between these musical cultures leaves me open-minded and willing. My respect for music runs deep, and I want to share this music with you. Expect music from the countries that have influenced me and the styles that truly [...] Continue...

Case study: A catering company requiring portable refrigeration in London weighs up its options between renting and purchasing. Its business requires them to use portal cold storage quite often, so the company is leaning toward purchasing their own units. Yet after considering the pros and cons of both approaches, it picks up the phone and calls Icecool Trailers.
The owner of this catering company has made a wise choice. By calling us, he has access to refrigeration trailer rental that meets the unique needs of every event he works. We are happy to have him as a customer and he is happy to take advantage of our services to successfully run his business.Why should you consider renting rather than purchasing? Consider the following:
Cost – The cost of new portable refrigeration units is prohibitive to most small businesses. In other words, new trailers are not cheap. Yes, you can buy used trailers for a few thousand pounds, but consider why businesses might be looking to dispose of those units. Are they really going to be dependable enough for you to get your money's worth?
Maintenance and Repair – When you purchase your own units you are responsible for their maintenance and repair. Refrigeration trailer rental from Icecool Trailers includes maintenance and repairs as part of your lease. You need only contact our 24-hour call out service to have a repair technician dispatched to your location immediately.
Flexibility – Not every situation requires the same amount of refrigeration or freezing capacity. When you invest in your own units, you are limiting yourself to what you have purchased. When you rent from a company like ours, you have the opportunity to rent only the cold storage you need for that particular event. No more, no less.
Ease-Of-Use – Perhaps the biggest advantage of refrigeration trailer rental is the ease-of-use it affords. Just call and make arrangements with one of our specialists and leave the rest to us. We will deliver your unit, set it up, and get it running. All you need do is show up and get to work.
Reliability – Icecool Trailers rents the latest equipment that has been maintained to meticulous standards. When you rent, you are getting the reliability that comes with a company determined to maintain a positive reputation among new and future customers. When you buy your own, your units will only be as reliable as the amount of effort and resources you dedicate to them.
Storage and security – Many operators will find it hard to justify the capital outlay of buying a refrigerated trailer, let alone the depreciation, but having to store it securely when it's not in use is an added headache. Will the fridge trailer be in a suitable condition when you next need it? Or will you have to spend a day cleaning it before it can be used? When you rent from Icecool you can forget all of these concerns; you just know an Icecool trailer will be serviced, clean and ready to use, whatever your needs.
A 2.4M long freezer trailer available to hire from Icecool Trailers. Ideal as extra freezer storage for hotels, restaurants and outdoor caterers/ special events catering.
Our 2.4M freezer trailer is delivered to (and collected from) site for you by Icecool staff.
The largest of our fridge trailers, this 3.0m unit will easily act as a second cold room. Commonly used for the larger events, hotels and caterers, our 3.0m fridge trailer is bound to get you out of trouble. It has an approximate internal capacity of 8.5 cubic metres.
Icecool Trailers is proud to offer refrigeration trailer rental in London and throughout numerous other locales in England. We provide portable cold storage for catered events, outdoor festivals and music events, private weddings, corporate gatherings, education events, and more. Rental is available for both pre-scheduled events and emergencies alike. For a complete quote, contact us at Icecool Trailers on 01635 250 950.

CW 'MADtv' Sets Nicole Sullivan, Sasso and Lee as Returning Cast
It made sense of the The CW's MADtv revival to highlight a new cast after the 20th anniversary special, but at least a few vets will guide the ship. Thus far, MADtv staples Nicole Sullivan and Will Sasso have signed on for appearances, along with others.
Per TVLine, Sullivan and Sasso will appear in the July 26 premiere, with 2001-2009 veteran Bobby Lee guesting in an episode beyond. Sullivan ranks among the series' most memorable alum, having appeared from 1995 to 2001, while Sasso's tenure lasted from 1997 to 2002.
Elsewise, the newest iteration of MADtv will feature among its cast @Midnight writer Chelsea Davidson, Todrick star Carlie Craig, Brooklyn Nine-Nine alum Lyric Lewis, Adam Ray, Life in Pieces star Michelle Ortiz, Wander Over Yonder vet Piotry Michael, Amir K and Jeremy D. Howard.
Other notable alum from the pool include Suicide Squad star Ike Barinholtz, Family Guy voice Alex Borstein, Parks and Recreation favorite Mo Collins, Crista Flanagan, Anjelah Johnson, Nicole Randall Johnson, Keegan-Michael Key, Futurama favorite Phil LaMarr, Artie Lange, Michael McDonald, Arden Myrin, Nicole Parker, Eric Price, Aries Spears, Stephanie Weir and Debra Wilson.
The CW will likely start promos soon, but will The CW's MADtv live up to the original with some returning cast?

To save a village, sometimes you must destroy a village.
I was sick and I knew it. That was the point. I walked, almost stumbling, through the time portal. I emerged into a world mine would never truly know. It was not the virgin forests and unadulterated environment many thought.
Man had never lived in harmony with nature. Not now, not in my time, not ever. That forced change upon the environment even predated our particular species of human: Homo erectus had been burning the forests of Africa to make more savanna and open woodlands over a million years before modern humanity emerged.
There were forests here. They were more like tree farms, almost orchards, near the villages and wiped clean near the cities. Pristine. I snorted. It was anything but. Had I been in the Yucatan during the Classic Period Maya, there wouldn't have been any forest. Everything from my time was secondary forest, regrown from the multiple collapses of the civilizations there.
There had only been one collapse here. One before the rise of its occupiers from my time. Those who were my bane, my people's bane.
I might be sick, but I was bringing goods. Goods to spread what was necessary, what was evil, but right. Tools and even some blankets. I would be damned for my actions, but would save a world, prevent another and end my people's great enemy before it could be conceived.
I looked down, my pack very heavily laden, near stumbling with my illness and saw Cahokia. It was the hub of trade in North America in 1347. Its tendrils of commerce reached from California to New York, down the Mississippi to MesoAmerica. An epidemic started here would flare like wildfire up and down and across the New World.
It would be genocidal. It would be terrible. There would be the postapocalyptic societies, collapsed and devastated and horribly poor when Columbus would show up almost a century and a half later. There would be no Aztecs, no signs of the great Maya, my cold would see to that. No Spanish Empire. And...no America.
And I would be the greatest Russian to have ever lived. And I would have my vengeance.
I made my way down to the city and received gawking stares. Once I was in the town, I dropped my heavy pack. I all but collapsed, vomiting onto the street, I had the flu too. good. I stood again, swaying and sneezed.
And it was the sneeze heard round the world. And echoed in time.
