PTO goes static

Yes, the story is true. If you have gone to the Peoria Times-Observer Web site recently, you have noticed that it has no new content. We decided that the cost and effort to maintain the site is not justified by the number of visitors. We will update it soon to make it more static. It will still have forms for submitting wedding info, etc.

Posted in Section 2 on June 11, 2002 by Billy Dennis

The Heinlein Society announced that it is establishing the Heinlein Award, for outstanding published works in hard SF and technical writings that inspire the human exploration of space, Locus magazine reported. The award is named for legendary SF author Robert A. Heinlein.

The award will be given periodically, but no more often than annually, and will consist of a certificate and a trophy, the magazine reported. The winner will be selected by an advisory board, currently consisting of Greg Bear, Joe Haldeman, Yoji Kondo, Elizabeth Moon, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, Spider Robinson, Stanley Schmidt and Charles Sheffield, plus U.S. Naval Academy English professors Herb Gilliland and John Hill.” Article found on Sci-Fi Wire
