Title: Synchronicity: Acausal Connection or Causality
in Disguise?
Author: Allen Stairs
From the page: "Jung describes synchronicity in various
ways in various places, and it is not always clear
either what the description actually amounts to nor
whether the term means quite the same thing in different
contexts. Perhaps one can do no better than look at
examples. One of Jung's favorites involves a woman
patient of his who was inhibited in her progress
toward successful treatment by virtue of having an
overly "rationalistic" or "Cartesian" or "geometrical"
outlook. Jung had been unable to loosen the grip of
this hyper-rationality until one day, in her session
with Jung, she was recounting a dream in which a piece
of gold jewelry in the form of a scarab played a
prominent role. At that very moment, Jung heard a
knocking sound at the window. When he looked, he saw
a common rose-beetle, whose gold-green color was a fair
match for the golden scarab in the woman's dream. When
he opened the window, it flew in. He grabbed it and
handed it to the woman, saying "Here is your scarab."
This surprising and somehow irrational event loosened
the grip of her own rationalism and she was able to
complete her treatment satisfactorily."

Title: Hawaii's favorite Spam faces competition from
Denmark -- Hormel has brought a Spammobile to the
state and pitched a new product since Tulip's debut
Reporter: Jaymes Song.
Website: Honolulu Star-Bulletin
Date: March 7, 2004
From the page: "Spam has been Hawaii's undisputed
king of canned luncheon meat since the curious,
gelatinous, pink, pork brick was first introduced
to the islands during World War II. But now a new
Danish copycat called Tulip is trying to unseat
Spam from its throne.
In Hawaii, Spam is much more than a four-letter word
for unwanted e-mail. The product made by Austin, Minn.
-based Hormel Foods Corp. isn't just another canned
meat either. It's more of a staple food and part of
island culture. Hawaii leads the nation in per capita
Spam consumption."

Title: If the Issue Fits -- Biz magazines
spotlight the sustainability revolution
Written by: John Elkington and Mark Lee
Website: Grist
Date posted: 27 Mar 2007
From the page: "If the business press is any indica-
tion, sustainability issues have risen up the corp-
orate ladder and are now seen as a central challenge
for companies in the coming decades.
Fortune
In its first-ever green issue, Fortune commends "10
Green Giants" -- corporations that are making impres-
sive environmental gains. The editors decided to by-
pass GE and Wal-Mart, whose eco-endeavors have been
heavily publicized, and instead highlight companies
whose sustainability efforts have been less high-
profile recently -- among them, Hewlett-Packard,
Continental Airlines, S.C. Johnson, Suncor, and Alcan.
While its list focused on big, mainline corporations,
its cover went to an idealistic maverick who runs a
350-employee, uber-eco outdoor-gear company -- Yvon
Chouinard of Patagonia.
Fortune's Marc Gunther writes in an intro to the
green package that environmentalism in corporate
America has gone beyond mere compliance and ef-
ficiency: "Now we're at the threshold of a dif-
ferent era, one in which smart companies are trying
to figure out how to profit by solving the world's
big environmental problems."

Title: Warming's biggest wallop aimed at wildlife,
not people
Synopsis: Some of Earth's coldest areas will lose the
climate zones that support today's plants and animals,
says a UN panel's latest report.
Reporter: Peter N. Spotts
Website: The Christian Science Monitor
Date: April 6, 2007
From the page: "Global warming will affect societies
around the world through more prolonged droughts, more
intense rains and flooding, changes in the timing of
seasonal rainfall and snowmelt, and a projected
increase in the spread of animal- and insect-borne
diseases, scientists say.
But it will affect plant and animal species even more
dramatically. A shift in climate zones could lead to
extinction of some species and the spread of others,
according to a report set to be released Friday by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
In turn, many of these ecological shifts will affect
humans, writes Chris Field, founding director of the
Carnegie Institution's department of global ecology
at Stanford University, in an e-mail from the IPCC
talks in Brussels. "A large fraction of the impacts
of climate change on people are transmitted through
ecosystems."
