Asimov's Science Fiction
http://www.asimovs.com/
This is the website of the science fiction magazine that you can't find on sale in Panama anymore. This particular issue features a bumper crop of Hugo-nominated stories that Asimov's has published in the last year, with novellas by Connie Willis, Kage Baker and Walter Jon Williams, a short story by Mike Resnick, and novelettes by James Patrick Kelly, Robert Reed, Michael Swanwick and Charles Stross. Some of these are stories you'd want to print out and read in bed.
Failure Case Studies in Civil Engineering Education
http://www.eng.uab.edu/cee/reu_nsf99/rachelwork.htm
A good argument for considering disasters and ethics as part of the standard civil engineers' university education, by a civil engineering student at Washington University in St. Louis.
Newsmeat Hall of Fame
http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/hof.php
Culled from the US Federal Elections Commission's files, the candidates and political action committees to which various American celebrities give their money. You've got your basic Democrats and Republicans, a few of whom might surprise you, and a lot of ticket splitters who give mostly to one party but then seem to like their own member of Congress of the other party.
Panama and the IMF
http://www.imf.org/external/country/PAN/
This country as seen by one of the international financial institutions that quite frequently tells our government what to do, although they'd never admit it.
US-Panamanian free trade talks and the environment
http://www.ustr.gov/environment/tpa/2004-07-09-panama-environment.pdf
From the US Trade Representative's perspective. What is not mentioned in this medium-long PDF document should be of concern not only to environmentalists, but also to Panamanian farmers. By noting the unstated assumptions inherent in the trade representative's choices of what's relevant and what's not, you might then infer certain other things about the US negotiators' approach in free trade talks with Panama.
