@Daveyo520: It's one of the Cerberus Daily News updates. If you've logged in to the game recently, you probably know they don't update anymore (except for a week before Arrival was launched, and presumably two weeks leading up to the launch of ME3, if their notice is any indication.) However, you can read up on any of them at http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Cerberus_Daily_News
It's called the United North American States and it encompasses Canada, the United States and Mexico. Also, one of its more recent presidents (Huerta) spent a year of his term as a zombie cyborg.
No, really. That's actually canon.
03/04/2185 (2010) - Earth Nations in Suspense as Systems Alliance Hears Ford v. Huerta
“The nations of Earth are in suspense tonight as the Systems Alliance hears Ford v. Huerta, the first case of a human leader using reconstructive data storage to prolong his brain functions and stay physically capable to perform his duties. Speaker of the House Lisa Ford has led the charge against Huerta, saying that the last year of his term was illegitimate. A stroke left the President legally dead and in cryocool for an hour and a half before his brain functions were fully transferred to a computer. The amount of memory degradation was never fully revealed. According to the United North American States' line of succession, if Huerta was considered dead, then power would transfer to the Vice President and Speaker Ford would have held the position of Vice President for the last year.”
@Red: If you upgraded the Normandy with the Thanix cannon, then it's already outfitted with a Reaper weapon. According to the codex, it was reverse-engineered from Sovereign's wreckage.
Well, people make jewelry out of palladium. Maybe some fancy space-silverware is made of the stuff too, and Shepard just takes it and melts it down.
Maybe a prospector just set it on a counter during breakfast before he met with his mining company's board of directors to prove that he had come across something.
Bioware has already established that every major character (provided they aren't dead due to the player's actions in previous titles) will make a return in some form. As to whether or not they'll be a squad member is less clear. Whether or not they'll all appear if you start out fresh on ME3 rather than importing a save is also unclear.
@overbyte: You're saying that everybody in the future needs elevators to clean their eavestroughs or hang their Christmas lights? Leave the ladders alone. They make sense.
@Bloodgraiv3: Actually, this has all been explained in the Mass Effect: Evolution comic. His eyes started changing after he got too close to a piece of Reaper technology back on Shanxi during the First Contact War.
@Blubba: I think it might count against you if you do it between the Reaper IFF mission and the final run. At that part of the game, the only thing you really have time for (if you want to get a perfect ending) is Legion's loyalty mission. Each mission after that will whittle down your surviving crew.
It's not a big deal either way. LotSB is one of the three DLC packs that are supposed to bridge the gap between ME2 and ME3, so it's perfectly fine to play it after beating the game. And Overlord was kind of an isolated incident, so it doesn't particularly matter when you play it.
