I'm looking for articles for students writing on a couple different topics. Please let me know if you've seen good articles any from reputable sources in your travels:

Obesity and the advancing age of puberty in young women (there's evidence that young girls are coming into puberty much younger now, and there may be a nexus between this and the obesity epidemic)

The rise of superbugs and antibiotic resistant strains

The evolution and future of the motorcycle

Cell phones and brain cancer

The video game rating system

Thank you!

Mini subs off Papua New Guinea.

I don't allow WebMD, but they have accessed Dr. Oz in the past. They've got articles from Newsweek, Science Daily, The Guardian, The NY Times, The Economist and others. I think they're set, but let me know if you find something.

Thank you. :-)

Huge crack in Antarctic glacier.

"When the iceberg breaks free, it will cover about 340 square miles (880 square kilometers) of surface area. Radar measurements suggested the ice shelf in the region of the rift is about 1,640 feet (500 meters) feet thick, with only about 160 feet of the shelf floating above water and the rest submerged.

It is likely that once the iceberg floats away, the leading edge of the ice shelf will have receded farther than at any time since its location was first recorded in the 1940s."

Good post. Thank you.
