Fire Service apologises to CTV families
Relevant offers
Christchurch Earthquake 2011
The Fire Service has apologised to the families of victims unable to be rescued from the collapsed Canterbury Television building.
The final week of a coroner's inquest today heard evidence into the deaths of eight victims who were known to have been alive after the building collapsed in the February 2011 earthquake.
Fire Service operations and training director Paul McGill began his evidence with a apology to families.
''That was a dreadful situation and we're sorry for what occurred there,'' he said.
Nigel Hampton, representing Alec Cvetanov, whose wife Tamara died in the building, said his client was ''touched'' by McGill's sincerity.
Cvetanov had long felt he was a ''lone voice'', Hampton said.
An Urban Search and Rescue technician earlier told the inquest he was in disbelief at hearing signs of life from within the collapsed Canterbury Television building rubble, an inquest has heard.
Chris Kennedy, a Usar technician who worked on the eastern, or Madras St, side from about midnight said he and colleague Ian Penn heard "banging" after they tapped on a concrete slab three times.
He was shocked given the pancaked state of the building.
''I couldn't believe it at first, then we heard bangs back at us - someone had answered us. When I looked at Ian again there was disbelief in his face.
''I said to him, 'I heard that', and he said, 'Same'. We did it again and then we waited. There was another tap."
The pair kept the find quiet until it could be confirmed.
''We banged again and we got another reply. Straight away we were like, 'Yip, we've found somebody'."
The crew began cutting a hole nearest to where the sound had come from using crowbars, sledgehammers and breakers instead of power tools.
The method was "quick and effective", Kennedy said.
''I remember we only had limited tools and didn't have all our equipment on the ground with us as it was still being driven down,''he said.
The rubble was "packed tight" and cutting through was "painstaking".
Impeding progress was crushed chairs, desks, cabinets and ventilation ducts.
"Everything you see inside a building was compacted down to 300 millimetres," Kennedy said.
He spoke three times to Alec Cvetanov, whose wife, Tamara Cvetanova, was trapped and communicating by phone from inside the rubble, but could not guarantee she was the person tapping.
Rescue crews were pulled out of the hole when a fire at the sign became "raging" and the smoke unmanageable, even with respirators.
Machinery was used to remove rubble, which uncovered several bodies, but no voids were found.
Cvetanova was not found alive.
Kennedy felt his team was on the back foot because its full cache of tools had not arrived, but did "everything we could with the resources we had at the time".
He later saw the remains of the collapsed Pyne Gould Corporation building, which "still looked like a building", and noted the obvious voids and entry points for rescue.
In comparison, CTV looked like a "pack of cards had been dropped", Kennedy said.
Usar technician Ian Penn earlier rejected suggestions a hole dug to locate CTV building collapse survivors was delayed more than five hours.
Penn said work on a hole began shortly after his team arrived about midnight or 1am.
The spot chosen was nearest to where knocking had been heard from within the rubble.
Photographic evidence suggested the hole was started much later, after gear arrived by truck about 5.30am.
Penn defended his recall of the time when quizzed by counsel assisting the coroner Richard Raymond.
"Are you stating we'd literally done nothing for four to five hours?"
Penn said his team had "limited kit", but said it did not hamper entry into the rubble.
"We did have limited kit, but it allowed us to do the job we needed to do."
Hand tools, such as sledgehammers and breakers, were used.
The North Island-based team's power tools did not arrive by truck until the morning of February 23.
Raymond said other Usar members had given evidence that the availability of hand tools slowed progress at the site.
"I don't disagree with that, but I don't think it hampered our performance on the job," Penn said.
Listening equipment was sought, but was not available, he said.
The inquest is being streamed live on the Justice Ministry's coronial services unit website.

Florida governor to promise gay rights reforms – but not marriage
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.

You can't have reform without proper equality. If you won't treat everyone the same then you've nothing to build on.
Another failure in office.
I would label this a 'FAIL' if he were a Democrat.
Although not everything that is needed, at least it's a positive step. If the issues of adoption, inheritance, etc were dealt with, it means full marriage equality would be more within reach.
Crist is trying to be all things to all people. It's VERY widely rumoured that he himself led a gay life until he decided to get involved in politics and thus far as has behaved like a typical self-hating gay in following the republican line of being anti gay at every turn.
Maybe now the republican party have ditched him and he's forced to run as an independent he'll start to be more true to himself and redress his anti gay policies of the past.
Charlie is just another gay politician who tries to play straight for the votes. No gay voter in Florida should vote for him. His famous pronouncement was that he believes "marrage is a sacred union between a man and a woman". He like so many politicians here in the USA don't mind kicking the Constitution of the USA in the ass when it suits their political needs. Equality from Charlie? Not a hope.
My gayer reading for Mr. Crist … 11 on a scale of 10. Coming from a republican it's noteworthy but please don't take the bait . It's not full equality. Still I give the man credit for trying.
Sorry, "gayer reading."
> You can't have reform without proper equality.
I'm not sure that is correct. There can be reform without proper equality. The road to equality may have a number of steps, each building upon the last.
Perhaps the thought is that there could not be meaningful reform without equality. But then the bringing in of civil partnerships may be meaningful. The UK certainly has had meaningful reform with the advent of civil partnerships.
Governor Crist would have gays eat hamburger whilst straights dine on filet mignon?
> Governor Crist would have gays eat hamburger whilst straights dine on filet mignon?
This compares all the intimate and meaningful civil partnerships into which many people have entered in both England and France and which provide social recognition, acceptance, inheritance rights, medical consent and formal legal status to a hamburger.

We have been to Los Tios dozens of times and truly decided it is the best Mexican food in Leesburg and probably Loudoun County. We love the Market Station location eventhough the restaurant is a little small (and can often fill w/smoke when somebody orders fajitas). Highly recommend the Beef Fajitas, because they use high quality cuts of meat compared to other Mexican restaurants.

Was there for two days, one day before going to Oman and one day after. I enjoyed it much more than expected.
The Dubai Mall, however, was awful, even worse than I imagined. Take the metro to the Dubai Mall station and then you still have to walk a good 20 minutes along those moving walkways (eight in total). Get inside and find hoards of people taking pictures of everything. To see the dancing fountain, you wait half an hour for a show that lasts about 30 minutes. Not worth it. Then it took 30 minutes to find the taxi stand, and another 20 minutes waiting in line for a taxi. It was encouraging, though, to find that many American chains that i thought didn't exist anymore are still alive and well, such as Bennigan's and Fudruckers.
The Dubai Museum and Sheik Saeed House are both quite interesting and highly recommended. Pay 3 dirhams to enter one, and the ticket gets you into the other which is about a 10 minute walk away.
Al Mamzer Beach was absolutely beautiful. I don't think this is even listed in the LP guide, which leaves a lot to be desired. No doubt the sand and the palms were brought in from elsewhere, but the beach is clean, there is plenty of shade for everyone, the water's clear and fairly warm and the whole day was wonderfully relaxing. Admission is 5 dirhams, taxis are available outside, and the signs say that Monday is for women and children only.
Despite what everyone says about Dubai being so expensive, I did not find that to be the case. Hotels, yes. But taxis, food, bottles of water and entry fees are all lower than here in the US.
For the first day, I was at the Sheraton Deira, which I highly recommend. It is close to the airport and in a local neighborhood with lots of non-touristy restaurants. There is a great rooftop pool where they played 80's music all day and if you like plane spotting, this is the place to be since they go right overhead. There were a few people up there with binoculars and logbooks.
For the second day, I opted for an Airbnb apartment in International City. This is where the workers live. It is not in any tourist guides or even on the maps, it is not particularly pretty and I wouldn't recommend it for women since the area is almost entirely young single men, but if you want something more authentics, you can't get any better than this. There are all sorts of Indian and Arab restaurants with very low prices and very friendly people. It is convenient to the airport, an easy taxi ride to Deira and Bur Dubai and about 25 minutes to Al Mamzer Beach. Just bring extra cash, since I never found a bank.
So if you are thinking of going, but fear it is too expensive, too touristy and too fake, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for your feedback.
I went 2 times to Dubai, first time I was in the very trendy area and second time I was with Airbnb and I am wondering if I did not stay at the same place as you.
Lots of review said that it was not recommended for women and not very pretty. But Dubai is one of the safest place in the world, and I never ever felt scared walking in the darkest area. Lots of workers yet discreet and they won't annoy you.
I found it fun to have a whole area for woman/children only during certain hours in the metro. Good to know for the beach - I'll go there next time.
I agree with you that the mall was not worth - lots of walking from the metro. I was almost discouraged to go there.
I'll keep in mind the museum option if I go there next time. I was not sure who worth it was to get there.
Report Abuse
O yes, I agree with your take on Dubai Mall. Just a correction: If you want to see the fountains you may wait 30 minutes for a three minute show. It is pretty if you happen to catch it, it is nice if you plan to eat somewhere in the vicinity, but do NOT wait at ground level and try to see it.

This is why a large part of UNDP's work in preventing violent conflict, and its recurrence, involves working with local communities and governments to set up ways for managing disputes through inclusive participation and dialogue.
By supporting national dialogue processes, local peace committees, and confidence-building activities between people and communities, UNDP contributes to reaching consensus on sensitive issues, mitigating ongoing tensions and fostering breakthroughs in political deadlocks at the national and local levels. UNDP also works to prevent electoral violence and strengthen foundations for more resilient societies.
UNDP's activities complement the diplomatic efforts at the political high-level made by other members of the UN System. By strengthening national and local conflict management capabilities, the results of official preventive diplomacy are deepened and sustained at the community and civil society levels.
Our Goal
UNDP's work in conflict prevention is focused on supporting national and local institutions and leadership in their efforts to prevent violence, manage conflicts constructively, and engage peacefully in political transitions and rapid change processes.

Every service features a special message on selected topics. Sometimes these messages focus on an upcoming holy day, a special insight into the Scriptures, or a pressing topic regarding current events.
Each week, and on the holy days, the messages are posted here online. Enjoy!
Jude – Contending for the Faith
R. Dennis Richards investigates the unusual book of Jude revealing that this is a very relevant letter to us in the end times about contending for our faith in the midst of increased evils surrounding us.
Chukkat – The Poison of the Serpent
In this very rich teaching about the serpents among the people, R. Paul Falk reveals some amazing connections between the serpent, the tongue, and the poison of deception that is misleading many people into idolatry today.
WHO Is Holy?
R. Paul Falk links Aaron's rod budding in Numbers 17 with Yeshua's lessons about being fruitful branches in "the Vine," as he also outlines the qualities in the tribe of Levi that contributed to Yahweh choosing them to lead and govern His people.
The Trinity
R. Dennis Richards challenges us to explore the Scriptures for the truth on the doctrine of the Trinity with an open mind toward exactly what Yeshua Himself was saying on the topic.
Nasso – Binding the Strong Man 4
With this Torah portion that features the Nazarite vow, R. Paul Falk builds on the Strong Man series with insightful tie-ins to the story of Samson and shows how we can guard against being bound by the enemy.
Binding the Strong Man 3
R. Paul Falk continues this insightful series revealing the purpose of the enemy and what he is after in our lives, especially relating to what he wants to steal from the house of the strong man in Matthew 12 and Luke 11. He also reveals WHY the enemy wants to steal this, and how it affects us when he does. He concludes with an amazing tie-in to the Passover lamb and the first few verses of Genesis 1!
Ruth – A Scriptural Contradiction?
We have read that Ruth was a Moabite, but also that no Moabite shall ever enter the assembly of Israel. Is this a Scriptural contradiction? R. Dennis Richards looks at the meaning of the original words behind our translations to reveal the answer to this mystery, and shows how we must study the Hebrew to solve what may seem like scriptural discrepancies.
Binding the Strong Man 2
R. Paul Falk continues with the Strong Man series answering questions about HOW the enemy gets in, WHY he is constantly attacking us, WHAT he knows about us, WHEN we're weak, and WHO he uses "on the inside." This teaching cracks open the strategies of the dark side revealing even the crafty tactics of the world's "ministers of light."
SIN – The Truth Shall Set You Free
R. Dennis Richards points out that sin predates Torah and explains how we must master it, or it will master us. Overcoming habitual sin is related to understanding the role of the Spirit and how it is the Truth that sets us free.
Is Yahweh the Father Also Yeshua the Son?
Is the Messiah actually the Father? Is Yeshua actually Yahweh in the flesh? R. Dennis Richards answers these questions by looking at numerous passages in the Scriptures, from the Torah to the last chapter of The Revelation.

First Charlotte Publix store opens in Ballantyne
Updated:CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Publix opened its first store in North Carolina Wednesday.
Channel 9 got an inside look at the Publix on Providence Road West Tuesday.
It's the first of eleven locations planned for the Charlotte area over the next few years.
"Fans of Publix have been asking us to come here, particularly to Charlotte, for a long time. It's been long anticipated," said a store spokesperson.
The Florida-based chain has expanded into five southern states over the last decade.
This increases competition for Matthews-based Harris Teeter.
In reaction to Publix entering the market, a spokesperson said, "Harris Teeter remains focused on delivering excellent customer service and outstanding products in clean, up-to-date facilities."

NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice and her husband were indicted Monday on additional fraud charges.
Back in July, Teresa Guidice and her husband, Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice, pleaded not guilty to a 39-count indictment alleging mail and wire fraud.
On Monday, they were hit with a new count of bank fraud, as well as one count of loan application fraud.
Investigators said the couple prepared a mortgage loan application falsely stating that Teresa Giudice worked as a real estate agent.
In the earlier indictment, the couple was accused of exaggerating their income while applying for loans before their TV show debuted in 2009 and then hiding their fortunes in a bankruptcy filing after their first season aired.
Authorities allege the couple submitted fraudulent mortgage and other loan applications from 2001 to 2008, a year before their show debuted on Bravo. Prosecutors said the couple submitted fake W-2s, tax returns and bank account information to lenders.
Prosecutors also allege the Giudices received about $4.6 million in mortgages, withdrawals from home equity lines of credit and construction loans.
Joe Giudice also failed to file tax returns from 2004 to 2008, when he is alleged to have earned nearly $1 million, prosecutors said.
During that time, his income allegedly fluctuated wildly; the indictment states he made $323,481 in 2005 and $26,194 in 2006.
In their 2009 bankruptcy filing, the couple said they were $11 million in debt. They stated their monthly take-home pay was $16,583, but $10,000 was from "monthly assistance from family members" and Bravo income.
It also said they owed $2.2 million in mortgages, $13,000 to Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom and nearly $12,000 to a fertility clinic.
The most serious charges the couple face, bank fraud and loan application fraud, carry a maximum potential penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. Joe Giudice could be deported to Italy if convicted because he's not a U.S. citizen. The trial is scheduled to begin on Oct. 8.

The Alibi's Ridiculously Short Fiction Contest

One-hundred-and-nineteen. It became a life-controlling number while judging this year's Ridiculously Short Fiction Contest. In the meme phenomenon, it popped up not just in the word count tool, but in numbers of e-mails, on license plates and in mysterious patterns in our alphabet soup (which, we had never consciously realized, also has numbers).

The world's largest arms vendors are expanding in the cybersecurity sector as austerity measures weigh on sales of traditional weapons, a Swedish peace research institute said.
Sales by the 100 largest arms producing companies, excluding Chinese companies, fell by 5 per cent to US$410 billion in 2011, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said in its annual review of the industry.
The drop was mainly due to austerity measures and the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, SIPRI said, but pointed out that cybersecurity has remained a privileged spending area for governments despite budget cuts.
"Cybersecurity has become a top national security issue and there has been a lot of discussion about that over the last years," SIPRI cybersecurity expert Vincent Boulanin said. "Countries are willing to gear up to face potential cyberthreats from other countries or private actors."
Cybersecurity first became a major issue following the attack against Estonia in 2007 that used thousands of infected computers to cripple dozens of government and corporate websites, Boulanin said. Since then, numerous attacks have occurred that have increased the demand for security products, including the recent Chinese hacker attacks against The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
Boulanin said arms dealers are taking advantage of these developments to expand into new fields and are acquiring smaller companies to get hold of the necessary technical expertise. The ventures mainly involve services for data and network protection, testing and simulation, training and consulting and operational support.
SIPRI also said US-based Lockheed Martin remained the biggest arms vendor in 2011, with arms sales of US$36.27 billion, while Boeing overtook Britain's BAE Systems as the second largest weapons merchant.
Here's SIPRI's list of the top 10 arms vendors in 2010 (2009 ranking in parenthesis):
1. Lockheed Martin, US, US$36.27 billion (1).
2. Boeing, US, US$31.83 billion (3).
3. BAE Systems, Britain, $29.15 billion (2).
4. General Dynamics, US, $23.76 billion (5).
5. Raytheon, US, US$22.47 billion (6).
6. Northrop Grumman, US, US$21.39 billion (4).
7. EADS, Trans-European, US$16.39 billion (7).
8. Finmeccanica, Italy, US$14.56 billion (8).
9. L-3 Communications, US, US$12.52 billion (9).
10. United Technologies, US, $11.64 billion (10).

Opinion & Analysis
Workplace health and safety is back in the media spotlight after a recent appeal of a major retailer's sentence and the progress through Parliament of new legislation set to line up our regime with that of Australia.
OPINION: Briscoes was recently left feeling much like an uninitiated customer who buys an item full price from one of their stores, after receiving a $75,000 fine from the Manukau District Court.
Briscoes pleaded guilty to failing to take all practicable steps to ensure the health and safety of Ajay Chadha, who tripped over display boxes piled in an aisle and broke his femur in the maelstrom of pre-Christmas shopping. However, Briscoes appealed against the sentence it received, claiming that the starting point for the fine was manifestly excessive and failed to take into account proper sentencing principles.
The High Court disagreed with Briscoes and found the mid-range level of fine to be appropriate in the context of the serious effect on the victim and the foreseeability of danger when goods are stacked on the floor. The court commented that the risk was obvious and the stacking of boxes was a clear departure from industry standards.
It applied an uplift in the sentence to reflect general deterrence and Briscoes' retail profile and earnings - the NZX listed group is valued at $520 million. In the end, the sentence was reduced to $42,000 after the court agreed that discounts for mitigating factors such as Briscoes' co-operation and safety record and an early guilty plea had been overlooked.
In fact, Briscoes should count itself lucky.
The sentences available to the courts for health and safety prosecutions are about to be marked up - significantly. Under the proposed Health and Safety Reform Bill, likely to become law early next year, prosecutions for health and safety will look more like they do in Australia - and that means that business will need to sit up and take notice.
The bill extends health and safety duties to all people in the workplace, though the focus is on people conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs). PCBUs will include company directors, managers and department heads.
PCBUs will have a specific duty of care to ensure the health and safety of workers employed or engaged by the PCBU and workers whose activities are influenced or directed by the PCBU.
Relevant to Briscoes' case, PCBUs must additionally ensure that the health and safety of other people is not put at risk as part of their business or undertaking. This includes customers.
Several new offences and penalties will be introduced for people who breach their duties. The most serious offence is to recklessly engage in conduct that exposes a person to whom a duty is owed to a risk of death, serious injury, or illness.
If convicted, a new graduated scale of maximum penalties will make eye-watering reading and the Briscoes fine look like small change: a fine of up to $300,000 and/or five years in prison for individuals; up to a fine of $600,000 and/or the same jail time for a PCBU or an officer of a PCBU.
For companies, a fine of up to $3 million could be ordered.
While obviously reserved for the worst cases, that sort of penalty could sink all but the biggest businesses, and that is exactly the deterrent that the new regime desires. The goal is to avoid fines being viewed by large corporates as simply licence fees. Combined with this, it is unlawful to insure against such fines.
Briscoes' case is somewhat unfortunate as the accident seemed minor and rare. A misplaced stack of four cardboard boxes does not warrant the same level of criminal consequences for a business as a forestry death.
It is fair to say that even in the face of the more powerful enforcement regime, the reality is that there will still be a low risk of retailers being forced to pony up for large fines and compensation for accidents that happen in stores. It seems unlikely that WorkSafe New Zealand (the health and safety watchdog) will take a criminal prosecution unless a business has been clearly reckless. The injured victim is also likely to be covered by ACC and therefore barred from suing the company.
However, while WorkSafe has, and will continue to have, the exclusive first bite at the cherry in taking a prosecution within the first six months, private prosecutions are still available. For example, the Council of Trade Unions has recently decided to take a private prosecution against M&A Cross, employer of Charles Finlay, a Tokoroa man killed in a forestry accident last year.
In another example, the New Zealand Defence Force recently pleaded guilty in a private prosecution brought by the sole survivor of the 2010 Anzac Day helicopter crash, for failing to ensure employees were not exposed to hazards from the operation of helicopters while at work. While Crown agencies are not liable to fines and penalties, NZDF was ordered to pay compensation of $20,000 to each of the victims' families.
These cases demonstrate that even the current health and safety regime can bite when it needs to, and that things are only going to get tougher for those who fail to take adequate steps to safeguard their employees and customers.

Actavis Said Seeking Buy Allergan for Over $60 Billion
Actavis Plc is in talks to acquire Allergan Inc. for at least $60 billion, and striving to reach a deal that would help the Botox maker rebuff Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc.'s hostile advances, said people with knowledge of the matter.
The companies are trying to narrow a gap of about $3 billion between what Actavis wants to pay and what Allergan is asking, said two of the people, asking not to be identified discussing private information. The maker of anti-wrinkle treatment Botox is seeking more than $210 a share while Actavis wants to pay closer to $200, said two of the people.
The companies may be able to reach a deal this month, the people said. A deal with Actavis would provide Allergan's shareholders an alternative to Valeant, which has said it's willing to pay at least $200 a share and has the backing of Allergan's largest shareholder - activist investor Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management LP.
"I don't think that Valeant can outbid Actavis," said John Schroer, sector head of U.S. health care at New York-based Allianz Global Investors, which owns shares of Allergan and Actavis.
Part of Valeant's promise to increase its bid to at least $200 a share depends on an anticipated increase in its stock price, the company said in a letter to Allergan's board last month.
"I've never heard of such a sales pitch," Schroer said.
In resisting Valeant, Allergan has described its offer as "grossly inadequate" and argued the Canadian company will gut its research and development budget and use its cash flow to pay down debt accumulated from previous acquisitions.
Dec. 18 Deadline
Any offer from Actavis will likely include its own shares as well as cash, the people said.
Although the talks could drag on, and there's no certainty that the two sides will reach an agreement, Allergan is trying to strike a deal before an investor meeting on Dec. 18, the people said. That's when shareholders will vote on Valeant and Ackman's proposal to remove Allergan directors, with a plan to eventually replace them with those who are more amenable to Valeant's offer.
"These things are very large deals, no guarantees, but it's an attractive deal and they have plenty of time to get this done," said Schroer.
Auction Call
Actavis, which makes generic drugs and products like Alzheimer's treatment Namenda, first approached Allergan about a takeover in August, a person familiar with the matter has said, and talks between the two companies recently restarted.
The disclosure earlier this month that Allergan was in talks with a third party prompted Ackman to call on the company to run an auction.
"Now that the company is seriously considering a sale, it is incumbent upon the board to maximize shareholder value by running a sale process that will generate the highest value," Ackman said in a letter to Allergan's board last week.
Representatives for Allergan, Actavis and Valeant all declined to comment today.
Irvine, California-based Allergan rose 0.6 percent to $196.51 at the close in New York today, giving the company a market value of about $58.5 billion.
Actavis fell 1.24 percent to $240.62, giving it a market value of about $64 billion, while Laval, Quebec-based Valeant rose to $131.09. Valeant's market capitalization is closer to $44 billion.
Price Floor
Valeant set the low end of the bidding at about $200 a share when the company said on Oct. 27 that it is willing to bump its cash and stock offer -- currently valued at about $180 a share -- to that amount.
The Canadian company has said it's seeking to buy Allergan to expand its portfolio and become one of the world's largest drugmakers. Pershing Square acquired its 9.7 percent Allergan stake after learning of Valeant's intention to make a bid, and Allergan has accused Ackman of violating insider trading rules.
It unsuccessfully sued to stop him from voting his shares in the Dec. 18 meeting. Ackman has said that he welcomes a review by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pershing Square's tactics and that it did nothing wrong -- acting as a co-buyer, alongside Valeant.
Allergan today announced amendments to its bylaws, making it easier for shareholders to call a special meeting. Ackman had accused the Botox maker of having overly complicated bylaws that made it hard to call the Dec. 18 shareholder meeting.

Chocolate Filling
- 3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Cookie Dough & Cinnamon-Sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
- 2/3 cup white whole-wheat flour (see Tip)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup canola oil or corn oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, slightly softened
- 1/2 cup plus 5 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 1 large egg
- Finely grated zest of 1 medium lemon
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract or lemon extract
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- To prepare chocolate filling: Put chocolate in a small, deep heatproof bowl. Set a fine sieve by the bowl. Put milk in a 2-cup microwave-safe glass measuring cup and microwave on High just until it begins to boil and foam up the sides, 40 to 60 seconds. Pour half the hot milk through the sieve onto the chocolate and let stand without stirring for about 2 minutes to soften the chocolate. Stir vigorously until smooth and the chocolate is mostly melted.
- Pour the remaining milk through the sieve into the bowl. Add vanilla. Stir vigorously until smooth. Sift confectioners' sugar onto the mixture and stir in thoroughly. Refrigerate until very cold and stiff.
- To prepare cookies: Position a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
- Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat oil, butter, 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, egg and lemon zest in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Beat in honey, vanilla and almond (or lemon) extract until evenly incorporated.
- With the mixer on low speed, then medium speed, beat about half the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until incorporated. Beat in the remaining flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Divide the dough into quarters. Roll each quarter into a 9-inch "log." Slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
- Combine the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl and transfer to a plate. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar. Place about 1 1/2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet. Press a well into the center of each cookie with a thumb. Fill with about 1/2 teaspoon of the cold chocolate filling.
- Bake the cookies on the center rack, one pan at a time, until firm when pressed near the edge, 8 to 12 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool to room temperature.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the chocolate filling for up to 1 week. Cover and refrigerate the cookie dough for up to 1 day. Store baked cookies airtight in a single layer for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Tip: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. It is available at large supermarkets and natural-foods stores and online at bobsredmill.com or kingarthurflour.com. Store it in the freezer.

"If today's church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century."
Establishing a comprehensive system of national service can, in many ways, uniquely address each of these pressing challenges by uniting people in common purpose across lines of difference, enlisting the energy and idealism of our young people to tackle pressing challenges, providing college scholarships for those who serve, and most of all, by reminding us that we are all in this together and have a duty and responsibility to give back to our communities and country.
Today, as we are celebrating Dr. King, let's take a minute and reflect on his life, but also rededicate ourselves to stopping the cycle of violence. We can disagree with one another, but rather than pulling the trigger we should have a conversation.
As an African-American man, and as a gay man, Rustin faced discrimination from many fronts, including from within the movement he did so much to build.
Workers' common interests -- better wages and better lives for themselves and their families -- are much more significant than differences in skin tone or place of worship or gender.
It is a testament to the power and effectiveness of Dr. King's movement that, even to those of us who were alive at the time, it seems like it must have been another world where a man had to speak out against such injustice.
Even as there is greater understanding of these issues of coercion, there is still a basic confusion over how to describe trafficking, and how to convey the experiences of victims and survivors.
Today, millions of Americans from all walks of life will join their neighbors in marking the national Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service to help achieve Dr. King's dream of building a more beloved community. And as we settle into a new year, there is no better time to reflect on the progress we've made as a country and the challenges we still face.
Today when Americans honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, they celebrate his public bravery, principles of human dignity and commitment to justice. They also follow his model of stepping into the public to engage in reasoned debate.
Today the immigration question is perhaps as divisive a force in American life as it has ever been, with leading presidential aspirants actually demonizing immigrants generally as criminals, deviants and undercover terrorists. In this season of celebration of Martin Luther King's birthday, it is important to revisit the factors that animated him in order to protect his memory from being misused to serve purposes that he would never embrace.
Nobody wants to be called a racist. But I'm calling some of us out in Hollywood. I'm not talking about white-cloaked Klansmen burning a cross or Don...
Dr. King understood that there are two Americas: The America of golden opportunity, and the America that has little or no hope. He knew that a nation that does not have hope for most of its citizens can never be great. Like him, we must be passionate, courageous, and tireless activists.
Amidst the increased attention on the subject of racial justice this past year, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is an opportunity to reflect on our progres...
Dr. King told us that peace must not only be seen as a "distant goal," but also "a means by which we arrive at that goal." This week the possibilities for what peace can accomplish as both a goal AND a means to that goal is on full display in U.S.-Iranian relations.
When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. marched, preached and toiled during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, he knew the sordid history of this country -- and was deeply mired in its bigoted present -- and yet, he still imagined that things could be different. He saw the ugliness but believed in the beauty. What would Dr. King think about our country today? I think he still would have hope. And here's why.
During a time of great concern and unrest in our communities, country, and world, celebrating Rev. King's birthday brings me joy and hope. The fact that his birthday is a nationally recognized holiday makes me both proud and optimistic.
