Ocean View Restaurant in La Jolla » Georges at the Cove Chocolatier takes a radical approach to sourcing In search of a sweeter solution for your Valentine's Day chocolate? 18-year-old Zoë S. Taylor shares the story of Atlanta confection shop Sugar-Coated Radical, which according to their website, uses only direct and fair trade-organic-post-consumer recycled and locally sourced materials. Taylor says, "I was attracted to the uniqueness of the shop, the friendly atmosphere, the beauty of the chocolates (when I first saw the chocolates, I immediately imagined all the images I could capture) and most importantly their ethical views." The chocolate industry has come under scrutiny from human rights groups concerned by inhumane conditions in the cacao fields, and the use of child slaves to harvest the pods. Taylor submitted this video to iReport assignment: Your Freedom Project challenge: Make a dish with ethically produced chocolate. It's still open and the best submissions will be shown on CNN International, Eatocracy and the CNN Freedom Project blog.

LinkedIn Is Acquiring Contacts Start-Up Rapportive - Liz Gannes - Social Rapportive, which makes a browser plugin that overlays Gmail with contextual information about email contacts, is being acquired by LinkedIn, sources said. LinkedIn declined to comment, while Rapportive CEO Rahul Vohra ducked our attempts to talk to him. Sources familiar with the negotiations said LinkedIn offered Rapportive “low teens” of millions of dollars worth of cash. The deal has not officially closed yet. Rapportive, which is still available only for Gmail, overlays an email correspondent’s social networking accounts alongside open messages and drafts. So, for instance, you can see a person’s most recent tweet and mention it in your email to them. Rapportive hasn’t publicly disclosed how many people use it, but in September, Vohra was quoted as saying Rapportive users viewed more than 65 million contacts per month.
