Autism
http://www.autism.e-medicinehealth.com/
This site outlines the basics of a complicated neurological disorder that becomes apparent during early childhood. Autism can often be somewhat managed and worked around, but there is no cure. The causes are also poorly understood, and a political issue in the United States because in the name of fighting terrorism George W. Bush has insulated drug companies from liability for mercury-laced vaccines that some critics believe are associated with autism.
El Portal de La Chorrera
http://www.chorrera.com
The Spanish-language online website for Panama Oeste's main population center. Once primarily a commercial center for a mainly agricultural area, La Chorrera is increasingly a bedroom community for a growing Panama City metro area. The La Chorrera corregimiento of Puerto Caimito is the hometown of major league baseball stars Mariano and Rubén Rivera.
foodgeeks.com Thanksgiving
http://foodgeeks.com/seasonal/thanksgiving.phtml
A good set of Thanksgiving recipes, from the fairly standard to the wonderfully --- maybe even geekishly --- unusual.
Guide to Tree Species of the Panama Canal Watershed
http://ctfs.si.edu/webatlas/maintreeatlas.html
From the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, in English and Spanish. It's especially useful because the peculiarly Panamanian Spanish names of our local fauna and flora are generally not available in most English-Spanish dictionaries.
Philippe Bunau-Varilla
http://www.panamascandal.com/protagonists/pbv.html
A Panama-centric sketch of the man and his motivations. Of course, the intrigue behind Panamanian independence and the creation of the Canal Zone is what made Bunau-Varilla rich and famous (or infamous), but there was a lot more to the Frenchman's career as an engineer, soldier and businessman.
