NEW YORK - Brooklyn Roasting Co. has a booming business based on helping people thousands of miles away.
On the Web
Ninety percent of the coffee the New York-based company sells is Fair Trade - certified as produced by people who are treated and paid well.
Being socially responsible pays off for Brooklyn Roasting, which sells to restaurants, food stores and the public through its website. Sales of its Fair Trade coffee, which comes from Mexico, Peru, Indonesia and Ethiopia, have soared from $900,000 in 2011 to $4.4 million last year. They are expected to reach $6 million in 2014.
"In a thoughtful urban center like New York City, I think it's a smart business decision to be the company known for responsible coffee sourcing," co-owner Jim Munson says.
Demand for Fair Trade products is rising as people become more aware of how their food and other products are made. That makes the Fair Trade market a growing opportunity for small business owners.
While companies sell Fair Trade food, clothing and bedding products because they believe in being socially responsible, the goods can also be part of a marketing strategy, says Russell Winer, a marketing professor at New York University's Stern School of Business.
Sixty percent of shoppers are willing to pay the higher prices that Fair Trade items tend to have, according to a 2013 study he co-wrote.
This is how it works. Goods - coffee is the best known, but there's also chocolate, sugar, coconut, cotton, tea, flowers, nuts, fruits and vegetables - are certified as Fair Trade by a handful of organizations around the world. They pledge to visit farms and production areas to inspect working and living conditions.
In return for the certification, product manufacturers pay a premium. For coffee, it's 20 cents a pound; for chocolate, $200 per metric ton. This cost is usually passed on to shoppers, who can tell products are certified by labels on packages.
No organization tracks the amount of Fair Trade products sold in the U.S., but Fair Trade USA, which says it certifies 90 percent of the products in the country, estimates the domestic market at $2 billion, just a sliver of U.S. grocery sales. It bases that number on a 2011 estimate by Fairtrade International, a global organization that sets certification standards for Fair Trade products.
At Whole Foods supermarkets, some customers specifically request Fair Trade goods, says Dwight Richmond, a purchasing executive at the chain. Whole Foods has increased its selection of Fair Trade chocolate by 350 percent in the past five years, he says.
PACT clothing, which sells garments made from organic cotton, launched a line of Fair Trade clothes this year. It started selling T-shirts at 70 Whole Foods stores in the Midwest, California and Texas, and sales were so strong that the chain has ordered shirts for more of its U.S. stores, PACT co-owner Jeff Denby says. His San Francisco-based company buys cotton directly from farmers in India and has the clothes manufactured in a factory there.
"We keep getting requests from stores every week but we can't keep up with the demand," says Denby.
While Fair Trade represents a growing opportunity for small businesses, it is still a tiny part of the market for food and clothing. U.S. supermarkets had $620 billion in sales in 2013, according to the Food Marketing Institute, a trade group for the supermarket industry.
Shoppers are more likely to find Fair Trade items online or in stores that specialize in organic or natural foods - in the coffee aisle at a Manhattan grocery store, just two out of 130 separate brands and roasts had Fair Trade labels.
The growth in Fair Trade products has also been helped the last few years by the recovering economy. Shoppers aren't as concerned about frugality as they were during the recession, says Winer, the NYU marketing professor.
"In a recession, private labels start to sell better and many products that are trying to get a premium for socially responsible behavior are squeezed a bit," he says. His study says the average premium, or price increase, on Fair Trade products is 17 percent.
Although Erin Meagher pays about 4 percent extra for Fair Trade coconut oil, that hasn't hurt sales of her products, sold under the name Kelapo. They rose 132 percent in 2013 after climbing 258 percent in 2012. Meagher expects another triple-digit gain this year for her Tampa, Fla.-based business.
Meagher says she could make more money with oil that isn't Fair Trade, but she believes in being socially responsible.
"We're not going to trade that off for the extra little bitty profits we would make," she says.

"The cardinal and Gold holly print complemented the coloring of the photo. The font was pleasing to look at. I wish the more text would have fit."
"From the design process online, to finalizing our order, this product was all we'd expected! The quality of the paper & photos were great...so very pleased & will order from the company again!"
"The colors, quality and design were exceptional. We had an image that was perfect for this card and at least 10 family members pulled me aside to tell me it was the most gorgeous card they had received."
"Everyone that I sent a card to loved them and the wording on the card is simple yet catchy. The photo quality looked just like it did on my computer during the editing process. I ordered the double matte which made the card extra thick and awesome but that option turned out to be pretty pricey when all said and done. Will order again from tiny prints."
"This was a beautiful card that was quickly printed and sent to me in less than the time I thought. They even were able to 'erase' my 14 yo's blemishes! Thanks again for a great card and great service!"

My name is Dionisio Amodeo and I am a 5th year graduate student in the Behavioral Neuroscience division. At UIC I have conducted several studies focused on understanding the neural mechanisms governing the ability to learn and behaviorally adapt to changing environmental conditions. More recently I have focused my attention on investigations into the neural circuitry underlying behavioral inflexibility present in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). By employing the BTBR mouse model of ASD I can evaluate novel treatments on their ability to ameliorate behavioral inflexibility in this disease. I choose the doctoral program here at UIC over other institutions due to the several factors including the chance to work with my advisor Dr. Michael Ragozzino. In has lab I have had the opportunity to learn a variety of behavioral techniques while refining my methodological skills. Similarly, because of our proximity to other academic institutions, Chicago has a great research community allowing us to connect and interact with other investigators in the field. In sum, I have had a great experience at both UIC and Chicago as a whole.

F800GS ABS problem - need help

I ended up squeezing back onto the edge of the asphalt right behind the jerk that had cut me off and managed to save things ...............
I think I would change the programming of the rear ABS to add a "rule" that says if the rider has attempted to have the REAR tire locked up for more than (say) 3 seconds ... go ahead and let him do it.......
In such situations its not easy to react right, similar thing happened to me just that it was a steep slope with gravel and at its end there was a paved road with lots of traffic. Unfortunately I stopped the engine on that hill, took a brake and went on - forgetting to switch the ABS off. When I tried to brake I realized that I would not make it and most probably cross the highway with loads of traffic. Not good. I squeezed both brake levers and went down without loosing much speed and I was staring at the cars crossing like a hypnotized cow. Shortly before the end of the slope I heard a voice saying: kill that engine fucking idiot!
So I did, and the ABS was off immediately. Sure the engine cut out too but I really did not need it but could block the rear wheel and brake hard on the front. I just(!) made it :)

Something rotten in the ANC state
The palaces of President Zuma and the massacre of miners at Marikana symbolise how the gulf between rich and poor has grown in the 18 years since the African National Congress came to power in South Africa. Hilary Wainwright reports on how formerly loyal ANC activists are turning against their government
The palaces of President Zuma and the massacre of miners at Marikana symbolise how the gulf between rich and poor has grown in the 18 years since the African National Congress came to power in South Africa. Hilary Wainwright reports on how formerly loyal ANC activists are turning against their government
'We knew apartheid was a deeply rooted system, we knew it would be difficult, we knew it would take time – but we did not think it would take forever. Eighteen years. Eighteen years! And we are still living like this.'
'This', for Lennox Bonile, is a cramped sitting room, bedroom and cupboard of a kitchen in the Khayelitsha area of Cape Town, with a bucket instead of a toilet and no running water in the house.
Bonile is a shop steward in the South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) at the city council. He and his wife Priscilla have graduated from a bucket toilet system to a 'modified bucket system'. This means they have a 'porta-toilet' to empty their bucket into, and that toilet is itself emptied each week by casual workers working for a labour broker contracted by the city council.
Eighteen years after the mass of black South Africans lined the streets to vote in the first government of the African National Congress, 1.5 million people (almost all black or coloured) still live without proper flushing toilets; 1.7 million still live in shacks, with no proper beds, kitchens or washing facilities.
While there has been a very small narrowing of the gap between black and white people, as the result of a small minority of black people moving up the income ladder, there has been a widening of the gulf between rich and poor – and the majority of the poor are black. South Africa, as the World Bank reported in July 2012, remains one of the most unequal societies in the world.
The bottom 20 per cent in South Africa get less than 3 per cent of the total income, while the top 10 per cent of earners get more than 50 per cent. This is a wider gap than in Mexico, Brazil or even oligarch-filled Russia.
Almost a third of South Africa's population still lives on less than $2 a day. Child malnutrition is now even higher than under apartheid, as is unemployment.

Welcome to Project Reality: Battlefield 2 (aka PR:BF2), a free to download game modification for the Battlefield 2 (aka BF2) retail Windows PC game. The focus of this mod is to rework the original game engine developed by Digital Illusions of Sweden (Dice) within legal and feasible constraints to create a more realistic combat environment for the gaming community. This includes adjusting various game play elements including physics, visual effects and overall game play formats. Along with changes to how the game handles, the Project Reality team has been introducing British, Insurgent, IDF forces, Canadian, and Russian factions, plus a number of community assisted factions are currently in the works to introduce even more factions to the virtual battlefields. This Mod is not for the masses, due to the fact that it has a much higher learning curve then your classic arcade game. This is the real deal.

Don't get me wrong, I love realism..
In PR:BF2, you'll find out that, even with the new environments, factions, equipment and content, nothing much has changed.
Battlefield 2 was great, awesome, we all know this, but Project Reality only insists on itself to be a hero when it comes to being the great mod that it obviously is; even if there is a great amount of realism and creativity involved and added to the game, that's it.
The mod is amazing, it is, but I don't get overjoyed like others do in other reviews. This game is only fun to play if online, and isn't usually too fond of new players, so expect a lot of hatred from senior players if you're reading this and are a newcomer.
Again, the mod Insists on Itself; it holds the review ranking and excellent hype ratio to mask its actual realism. It doesn't excite me, and almost demonizes other mods for not being like it, to discourage others from being excited about what they were previously playing.
If it wasn't so popular, more people would pay attention to other mods, instead of being either redirected or trapped here.
:1 took me some courage writing this, as the "-" marks will come my way without a doubt. Meh.
Sep 18th, 2012 0 people agree 1 person doesn't
I couldn't find the place to put this but when I try to create an online account, it takes froever and practicallly freezes. Does anyone know how to fix this. I'll give it a seven until I can get it fixed, then it is definantly a 10.

Kolkata: While visiting a hospital in Pakistan, batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar encountered a child whose name made the master tremble. The kid's name was Osama - the same as that of Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden.
One would come across many such anecdotes about Tendulkar's life in "The Peak" - a book by sports photo-journalist Suman Chattopadhyay which was launched by cricketer Yuvraj Singh at a glittering ceremony here Sunday.

When muscles use energy, they release a waste product called
creatinine into the blood. The kidneys then filter creatinine from the blood.
From the kidneys, creatinine passes out of the body through the urinary tract.
If the kidneys are not functioning normally, high amounts of creatinine remain
in the blood while low amounts are passed out in the urine.
During a normal pregnancy, increased blood volume and kidney function
cause an increase in the amount of creatinine filtered out of the blood and
passed into the urine. A measurement of this amount is called the
creatinine clearance value. If the kidneys are damaged
preeclampsia, the creatinine clearance value decreases
because the kidneys are filtering less creatinine out of the blood. The amount
of kidney damage can be estimated by the amount of decrease in the creatinine
clearance value.
The creatinine clearance test requires a blood sample and a sample of
all the urine collected for 24 hours (24-hour urine sample).

Got Questions? We've got answers from experts and parents who've been there.
Some children have sensitive skin and need special soaps and detergents for several years, or even forever. But many do fine with adult formulas right away and never need special brands. Start by testing one piece of clothing to see if your baby's skin reacts. However, pediatricians say that even babies with sensitive skin don't necessarily need baby brands. Perfume- and dye-free adult detergents work just as well and let you wash everyone's clothes together. --Michelle Crouch

New Delhi, Aug 8 (IANS) Television actor Harshad Chopra of 'Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil' fame might have made a mark on the small screen with his acting skills but he says his parents never approved of his celluloid dreams.
'My parents never wanted me to be an actor as they didn't know about the field and feared how they would be able to help me in it. But now when they see me climbing up the ladder of success, they are very happy and very supportive,' Harshad told IANS.
Harshad, who comes from Gondia, a small town in Maharashtra, made his acting debut with a negative character in Zee TV's serial 'Mamta'.
However, he garnered popularity with his role as Cadet Ali Baigh in 'Left Right Left'. He later joined the cast of 'Amber Dhara' and then went on to play the lead in Balaji's show 'Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil'.
He is now seen playing the role of Anuraag in yet another Balaji serial 'Taryay Liyay', currently being aired on Star Plus. The serial also has actress Anupriya Kapoor of 'Miley Jab Hum Tum' fame as Taani.
The 27-year-old actor insists that he never had any ambitions or set goals in life but had a hidden desire to be an actor.
'I never had any ambitions in life. My parents asked me to do engineering and I went on to do it. I could never tell them I wanted to be an actor. But after completing my engineering I decided to come to Mumbai to try acting,' he added.
'I realised that acting is my true passion. I had never worked for three to four days at a stretch before, but here I am doing it and even enjoying it,' he added.
However, Harshad admits that his road to success was not an easy one, but it was the passion for acting that helped him clear the obstacles.
'Today when I look back, there was a lot of struggle. It even makes me think how did I make it to this stage. It was the passion that kept me running,' he said.
With a successful career comes lots of audience expectations and Harshad admits that the rising expectations of his fans sometimes makes him nervous.
'There are a lot of expectations riding on me which sometimes scare me. I don't want people to say that Harshad doesn't know acting and it's his luck that keeps him going because I have worked really hard to reach wherever I am today. I don't want to disappoint them,' he added.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
The hot money from funds confident Flinders Mines's takeover by steel producer Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works was a done deal is quickly pulling away.
The Australian company has confirmed Magnitogorsk's agreed 554 million Australian dollar (US$571.4 million) bid is the only offer it has received, limiting the prospect that one suitor will be replaced by another should the deal be derailed in Russia.
Flinders said its suitor was unsuccessful in its motion last week to have an injunction against the takeover lifted. However, it said it has engaged its own Russian legal counsel and will pursue an appeal alongside Magnitogorsk's own.
An appeal court is likely to hear arguments by the end of April, and Flinders said the best estimate is that the matter will be heard and a judgment delivered by July 21.

There is a line from the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin that I have always identified with.
"I respect women. I love women. I respect them so much that I completely stay away from them."
The obvious title to bestow on me when it comes to women is a gentleman. This title always comes with a positive reaction from people. "That young man is such a gentleman." This has to do with my upbringing. I grew up opening doors, pulling out chairs, taking off jackets and walking closest to the street. I get uncomfortable very easily. Whenever a girl talks about her sex life in front of me, I retreat into my homegrown, sheltered cacoon.
But here's what I have learned. The average girl my age doesn't want that. The average mother of a girl my age wants that. Parents love me.
What I am looking for is, admittadly, is a little different from what other 23 year old bachelors are looking for. I want a relationship. Not only that, but I want a relationship that will lead to marriage. I have never wanted to casually date someone. I don't know why I am like this, but I guess God built me for serious relationships.
I have been in 2 relationships in my life. My first girlfriend in high school was a great start to a dating "career". She was very good looking and gave me confidence that I could appeal to at least decent looking women. We were awful together, but regardless, it gave me experience in dating.
My second relationship was much more suited to me. The only reason it didn't work was because she was in California and I was in Colorado. We are still great friends and talk a lot, which I am thankful for.
I have been on a lot of other dates, but nothing really panned out, although I wish that some of them did.
So what do I want in a relationship? I want what God has for me. I know that she is out there for me, and I have resigned myself to be patient for God's perfect.
I do know what I love most about a relationship, and this is going to sound really weird. The thing that I get the most joy out of is giving joy to my counterpart. And I'm not just saying this to get girls (I highly doubt any girls read my posts, haha).
So I'll review. I am a college educated, large but athletic, gentleman with mediocre looks who wants to do nothing but make his girlfriend happy. I do not mean to sound arrogant, but I sound like a catch.
Why am I single?
Well, I think lack of guts is part of it. I need to work on my confidence level and ask more girls out. But I am not one to go up to a girl that I do not know and ask for her number. I am not looking to hook up.
Another part of it is what the girls that I have gotten to know are looking for. The large majority of women that I was interested in college, were either into a#*holes or not compatable with me (not a Christian, hated conservatives etc).
So where do I go from here? I am moving to a new city which I know for a fact, has many good looking single women in it, and I am looking for a serious relationship. I am going to let God handle it. I believe that there is a good looking, wholesome woman out there that wants to have a boyfriend that will be there for her, is trustworthy and is respectful. God will open that door, and I will walk through it.
The point of this post? I need a girlfriend (Haha, apparently I am being completely honest in my new blogging venture).

Star Trek novelizations
Therin of Andor
, on Flickr
Tonight numerous Sydney CBD bookstores had
local editions
of the "Star Trek Into Darkness" novelization. It's a Simon & Schuster UK publication, but
printed and bound in Australia
by Griffin Press @$AU 19.99 ea. I think the last locally-printed Trek novelizations were TMP (with colour photos insert) and ST II! Sometimes we get UK or "international" versions.
As you can see, the trade paperback is a larger format trade than the US edition that came out for "Star Trek" (2009). Did I read correctly that the US is getting a hardcover this time?
Also picked up "The Shocks of Adversity", the new TOS novel by William Leisner. It was only $AU 9.99. Amazingly inexpensive to what we are accustomed. The US cover price is $7.99 and Canadian is $9.99. It seems Simon & Schuster Australia is doing a similar deal to the last movie, by reducing the costs of the current novel, or at least absorbing most of the freight costs to get lots of cheaper-rate new stock onto shelves. It lasted about four months last time.
Our Aussie dollar almost has parity with the US at the moment, but in the old days we could usually expect to pay
triple the US cover price
for air freighted copies, or we could wait three loooong months and get slow-boat copies for about double US cover price. The last few novels have been around $13.99.
Downloaded an iTunes version of the STiD soundtrack this week. Beautiful! Will be sending off to Amazon for a CD.
Thiptho lapth!

So classy of her to point out that she was first choice for this project and not Aishwarya. Just goes to show that she sucks, not only as an actress, but as a decent person as well. She has no acting talent (just a big ego) and people keep casting her which boggles the mind. She would have no career if her last name wasn't Kapoor. Oh and the size 0 thing!?! Why would ANYONE want to make this chick their role model!?! There are sooo many size 0 women out there and they're definitely much better looking.
plz bebo don't do all this
i like my normal bebo
bebo get a life n stop killing urslef. ur ugly no matter what :)
i too don't like this size zero trend
girls look better in normal body nor too fleshy or like a stick
i love bebo in fleshy way more then stick way
she had lost too much w8 for her film tashan, it was said after tht movie she had started putting weight on, bt obv wil tke time 2 notice it...
all the best 2 the entire team for the movie!
thank for the awesome articles
Ok Iam strongly against this digusting fad of actresses wanting to become size zero. Its not healthy for girls of our generation to be thinking its "cool" to be size zero. Iam sick of the media to be promoting Kareena as that. For god's sake she was size zero so many years ago and she's been much bigger in size (and more normal looking) for so many years now. I just wish people ppl would quit thinking its cool. For people who dont know size zero is the equivalent of a UK size 4!!! Thats just plain insane. Sorry if Iam sounding paranoid but Iam just so fed up with Kareena promoting this size zero BS all these years like that Sony Vaio nonsense and now suddenly when she's already quite fat she wants to be zero++. (Which she surpassed long back) Puhleeez! She looks much better when she's bigger then when she's a barely visible stick. I just wish the media would STFU about size zero. Jeez! Ok rant over.

A 5'9", 174 lb (79 kg) wide receiver from Purdue University, Jackson played in the 1984 Peach Bowl before spending nine NFL seasons from 1986 to 1994 for the Broncos, the New York Giants, and the Indianapolis Colts.

Jackson caught the touchdown pass that sent the game into overtime on "The Drive" in the Broncos' January 11, 1987 AFC Championship Game victory over the Cleveland Browns. Along with Vance Johnson and Ricky Nattiel, Jackson comprised the "Three Amigos" receiving combination in the late 1980s.
He lived in Terre Haute, Indiana, during his youth and played for South Vigo High School.

States' rights bills surge in GOP states
OKLAHOMA CITY One bill would make it a felony to enforce the new federal health care law, punishable by up to five years in prison. Another prohibits a physician from asking a patient about firearms. Yet another is designed to curb the possible influence of the United Nations in local government.
While provocative bills aren't particularly unusual in state legislatures, so many have been offered by conservatives in Oklahoma this year that GOP leaders have established a special committee to handle what is now a major category of business: measures to combat the federal government's influence in the states.
"This gives a platform for what I think are issues that are concerning to a lot of Oklahomans, and that's this continual overreach of the federal government," said House Speaker T.W. Shannon.
Similar states' rights panels have been formed in Texas and Utah, which are also controlled by the GOP, and have been proposed in Alaska, Missouri and Tennessee.
President Barack Obama's re-election last year, while a victory for the Democrats, has made the anti-federal cause a growth industry in states dominated by conservative Republicans. When legislatures reconvened this year, a flood of bills came forth to block enforcement of federal laws, deny authority to federal agencies, and circumvent federal policies related to firearms, religion, the environment and, most of all, health care. Across the country, dozens of bills have been introduced to nullify federal firearms laws alone.
Even though many measures are legally questionable and may never come to a floor vote, the special committees are providing more public attention to sovereignty issues that were sidetracked in previous years.
In Oklahoma, "There's going to be healthy debate and discussion about what the limits of the federal government are and also about where state sovereignty begins," said Shannon. "I think that's a worthy discussion to have."
In marble halls normally bustling with suit-and-tie legislators and lobbyists, witnesses wearing camouflage, jeans and ball caps now file into committee rooms for sessions. Usually somnolent hearings are now sometimes raucous.
When the Oklahoma states' rights committee recently passed a bill that prohibits cities and counties from adopting any environmental recommendations in the United Nations' Agenda 21 plan, many of those in attendance burst into applause.
Some Democrats say they don't know whether to be alarmed or amused.
"Where is Jay Leno when you need him?" said Rep. Mike Shelton of Oklahoma City, one of 29 Democrats in the 101-member state House. "If I didn't know this was reality, I would think this committee was something out of a movie."
At a recent hearing, Democratic Rep. Kay Floyd, who was an administrative law judge before winning election to the Legislature, expressed concern that several bills the committee passed appeared to be unconstitutional. Republican Rep. Gus Blackwell, the author of a measure contravening part of the federal health care law, responded: "The Supreme Court may go on and make another decision. I don't care." His comment drew nods of approval from those in attendance.
The crowd of about two dozen spectators at one recent hearing included tea party members and other grassroots activists, some of whom took time away from work and traveled from towns around the state.

If this question belongs somewhere else, please move it...
Well, I'm driving down next week. Due to the number of people coming with me, and the time of day we're leaving, I'm going to take the SUV.
Which also means I can pretty much make the trip nonstop (except for a potty break or two)--I get close to 500 miles on a tank of gas.
This also means, however, that I'm going to have to load 38 gallons of gas back into it somewhere around DLR--and I'm not familiar enough with the area to know where the decent fuel stops are. I'd prefer to fuel up in a place where the manager doesn't look like a refugee from the cast of "Deliverance", and the cost of a tank of gas doesn't require a pound of flesh.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
