Iain M Banks, who was until recently one of the world's greatest living science fiction writers, and also one of the UK's best known literary authors.

Massively respected writer over here, but maybe not known so well overseas. His novels about the Culture might be interpreted as a modern, hard SF reinterpretation of the Federation from Star Trek- a high technology alliance of varied alien races living a utopian existence. With a lot more cynicism and humour.

story here

I am a huge fan of Rizzoli and Isles and just watched the latest episode on dvr. I was SHOCKED to see that one of the stars, Lee Thompson Young, had died. He was probably my favorite character on the show.

SO sad to hear this news. :crying:

in the 3 or 4 things i looked at, it didn't say.

i've seen pictures of him smoking. don't know if that had anything to do with it.

ETA: my brother said that on the news he passed "after an illness"

"In a 2003 interview, CNN presenter Wolf Blitzer suggested his precise accounts of the US military techniques were giving away secrets to terrorists.

"I never got any fan mail from Osama bin Laden, and I don't really know how many books I sold in Afghanistan," the author replied."

Philanthropist Diane Disney Miller, who was the daughter of Walt Disney, died Tuesday at her home in Napa, Calif. She had suffered a fall in September from which she never recovered.

Disney Miller, the eldest and only biological daughter of Lillian and Walt Disney, helped shepherd the development of Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall, which was designed by architect Frank Gehry and opened in 2004. When Gehry tried to walk off the project in 1997, Disney Miller persuaded him to stay, saying that the remaining funds from her mother’s gift could not be used unless he remained as architect.
