Not very fresh news, but it seems that Federation Rising, the sequel to the Star Trek fan film "Horizon" has been mothballed. There was a lot of excitement about this but it seems that CBS's lawyers advised Tommy Kraft (the creator) to not pursue this project - assuming that the Axanar case is pending, and won't have its day in court until spring 2017...

Alberta seems like a world away, and Fort McMurray even more so.  I remember a few years ago when I traveled up to Edmonton for the orientation of my EdD program at Athabascan University of seeing signs for Fort McMurray.

Χριστός Ανέστη! Χρόνια πολλα σε όλους του αναγνώστες :-)

I like Defiance (the game), but as someone who usually plays solo, and has not joined a clan, leveling up can be a pain since leveling up (EGO level) was tied to pursuits that you did throughout the game (kill this many of this, level of that many of that, do all the missions in this arc, and so on).  That works fine for those who want to pursue those game goals, but for me, as a solo point-and-shoot
