MISSION, BC, January 21, 2011 (Press-News.org) Writers and Illustrators (www.writersandillustrators.com) is a free online community for anyone with an interest in the literary and visual arts. Writers and illustrators need no longer slave away in isolation and anonymity. This new site promotes writing, illustrating and reading. Well-produced literary or visual work still has the power to evoke strong emotions from its readers, even in our fast-paced world of abbreviated and truncated communication methods.
Additionally, www.writersandillustrators.com provides a forum for those who simply want to tell a story or share their artistic productions. Folklore that has been passed down by word of mouth over generations now has a permanent place to call home.
Ratings for each piece of work are averaged. Comments can also be rated by readers as a self-monitoring mechanism. A few simple steps to create an account are all that is needed to post, rate and comment. Reading and browsing can be done without an account. This unique, crowd-sourced rating system allows the whole world to become editors, judges or teachers and provides an audience for talented writers and illustrators. An internal search engine enables readers to organize their search.
Posted or archived work is automatically time and date stamped; useful in the event of copyright disputes.
The website has a "Notice Board" section that hosts announcements and informative articles. Potential items for posting include; conferences, contests, submissions wanted and membership drives from writing groups. This is a free service and an excellent location for both organizations and individuals to gain publicity with an audience that shares similar interests.
Future plans are in place to make the site even more universal and versatile.

More asteroids could have made life's ingredients
2011-01-20
A wider range of asteroids were capable of creating the kind of amino acids used by life on Earth, according to new NASA research.
Amino acids are used to build proteins, which are used by life to make structures like hair and nails, and to speed up or regulate chemical reactions. Amino acids come in two varieties that are mirror images of each other, like your hands. Life on Earth uses the left-handed kind exclusively. Since life based on right-handed amino acids would presumably work fine, scientists are trying to find out why Earth-based life favored left-handed amino ...

Stress, anxiety both boon and bane to brain
2011-01-20
MADISON — A cold dose of fear lends an edge to the here-and-now — say, when things go bump in the night.
"That edge sounds good. It sounds adaptive. It sounds like perception is enhanced and that it can keep you safe in the face of danger," says Alexander Shackman, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
But it sounds like there's also a catch, one that Shackman and his coauthors — including Richard Davidson, UW-Madison psychology and psychiatry professor — described in the Jan. 19 Journal of Neuroscience.
"It makes us more sensitive to our external surroundings ...
