As part of The Oklahoman's Life roundup of commencement advice, 'The Food Dude' Dave Cathey asked people in the restaurant industry what they'd want to say to recent graduates. Here are some of their thoughts:
Those in the restaurant business offer graduation advice
Bruce Rinehart, chef/owner Rococo Restaurant and Fine Wines, on getting into the restaurant business: Start with work at a hotel or resort
"The advice I've given over the years, especially if the individual has limited practical experience is to try to get into a large hotel and resort. They have everything, from the coffee shop to fine dining, from Garde Manger, butcher to a bakery. From banquets, buffets and catering. All kinds of different avenues to learn the beverage and service side. You can learn so much if you can move throughout all the different departments. I did four years at the famous Hotel Del Coronado 30 years ago and still call on things I learned there today.
Buck Warfield, president of Enduring Brands restaurant group: 'Never stop learning'
"The restaurant business isn't what you see on TV. The guests, the staff and the challenges are all real and there is rarely any glory. But, like TV, if you are good at it then it's a hell of a good time and can be rewarding in every way. So if you want to get into the restaurant business, make sure that you work hard enough to be really good at it and never stop learning."

One can only hope for a positive outcome in the trials of the GM Anopheles mosquito described by John Kitui (The Tablet, 28 June) as a path for eliminating the human toll from malaria.
Quite by coincidence Malaysia has recently confirmed the release of 6,000 GM Aedes aegyptii mosquitos directed against dengue fever. John Kitui believes it will be some time before GM mosquito campaign can really get going, even though about half a million children under the age of five are still dying each year still from a disease we failed to control 40 years ago. We failed to eliminate it because of the premature and ill-founded ban on DDT, a substance thought to have saved the lives of two billion people and which didn't kill anybody. The 1968 statement by Paul Ehrlich, a well-known environmentalist, that "every life saved this year in a poor country diminishes the quality of life for subsequent generations", adds a more sinister dimension to the background for the ban.
The limited form of thought responsible for the DDT ban is still in evidence today in the opposition of environmentalist groups to the use of Golden Rice, a GM crop designed to prevent Vitamin A deficiency related deaths. Here the toll is put at two million children a year. The Green Revolution of Norman Borlaug gave the lie to the claims in Ehrlich's Population Bomb. Our vastly increased food supply does not come without some cost, but the naïve projection of the rural idyll in Transylvania (The Tablet, 28 June) typically overlooks the positive. Given the experience of other populations that have been put into eco-zoos the Transylvanians should act quickly.

Surely the earth is a finite resource, whether finite today, or tomorrow? Advances in agricultural technology increasing food availability today simply put off the day when food will become insufficient, and pass the problem on to future generations. The proper way to deal with such a problem must surely be prudent population control?

Tories 'target' EI fraudsters
Staffers asked to find $485,000 in ineligible claims; opposition fumes
OTTAWA -- Service Canada investigators have been given annual "performance objectives" to find $485,000 each in fraudulent or ineligible Employment Insurance claims per year, the Conservative government confirmed Monday.
However, Human Resources Minister Diane Finley vigorously denied the targets amount to quotas -- something Finley assured the House of Commons earlier this month do not exist.
"There were no quotas for individuals," Finley maintained Monday after Montreal newspaper Le Devoir published government documents that showed the annual $485,000 figure for EI investigators.
"There are objectives, targets, to be sure. There's a big difference between the two when it comes to motivating and managing staff," said Finley.
Speaking in French, Finley noted employees who don't reach their targets do not face "negative consequences."
The Harper government is under opposition fire amid a crackdown on EI claimants that includes sending government inspectors to people's homes and establishing annual dollar targets for EI investigators.
The practices were not announced by the government but came to light as a result of media investigations.
The crackdown comes at a politically awkward time for the government as it fends off a series of spending controversies in its own backyard, the Conservative-dominated Senate.
Conservative Sen. Mike Duffy said Friday he'll pay back tens of thousands of dollars in housing allowance he received after claiming a cottage in Cavendish, P.E.I., was his principal residence. Duffy has lived in Ottawa since the 1970s.
Some senators' expenses are being audited and others are being questioned on their housing claims.
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said the Conservatives are treating the unemployed like criminals while circling the wagons on their well-paid Senate appointments.
Conservatives, Mulcair told the House, "don't shy away from gratuitously accusing EI claimants of fraud but they don't prevent their own senators from committing fraud."
NDP whip Nycole Turmel suggested the government's efforts are misplaced.
"Rather than saving $485,000 on the backs of these poor sods, why don't they start sending inspectors to senators' homes?"
Finley said Service Canada stopped $500 million in ineligible EI payments last year but maintains the system "still lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to fraud."
"The only people to lose if the opposition stops us from rooting out Employment Insurance fraud, are Canadians who follow the rules," Finley repeated at least three times during question period in the House of Commons.
It was not clear how the NDP or Liberals could possibly stop the EI crackdown, but a public backlash could influence Conservative MPs.
Gerald Keddy, a veteran Nova Scotia Tory MP and parliamentary secretary for international trade, said the debate over quotas versus targets reflected reporters "working too hard on semantics."
"The whole issue with EI is simply to attempt to prevent abuse," Keddy said outside the Commons.
"And the idea that people who are on EI that could take a job should take a job, I think is agreed to by most Canadians."
Bob Rae, the interim Liberal leader, said whatever you call it, setting dollar targets for enforcement officers leads to trouble.
"I think the worry all the way through is when you have a quota -- whether it's for a parking-ticket enforcement officer or whether it's for somebody working on employment insurance -- is that the target becomes the quota and that you find reasons and ways in which to find people and catch people that might in fact be very, very unfair," said Rae.

The Oscars are always a fun event to watch but lets face it, there are often movies that should have won Best Picture that lose out to lesser movies for whatever reason. Here's a look at some of those movies courtesy of trutv.com. Click the picture to enjoy!
How many times have you asked a buddy or co-worker if they "feel lucky, punk'? Or asked a Sam to "play it again" or told a Luke "I am your father"? Well, it turns out you've been misquoting those famous movie lines all this time.
Movie studios inundated us with releases last week, which meant some were bound to get lost in the shuffle — especially the two that bowed on Christmas Day. Let's take another look at them, shall we?
With at least six movies opening in wide release on various days over the past week, it would've been easy for any film to get lost in the shuffle.
But since Tom Cruise flicks rarely fade into the background, it's hardly a surprise that 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' brought in $26.5 million to handily beat all its competitors at the box office this weekend.

Safety Crash Test: 2006 Hyundai Sonata.
Hyundai Xg 300 and 350 a must have car !!
The Hyundai XG300, introduced in the fall of 2000 as a 2001 model, was
expected to compete as the value leader against entry-level luxury vehicles
like the Acura 3.2 TL, Lexus ES 300 and Infinity I30. With a full
complement of standard luxury features like power driver and passenger
seat, leather and wood grain interior trim, power sunroof and automatic
climate control, the XG300 ? which took its name from its 3.0 litre, 190 horsepower V6 ?
offered consumers good value in a luxury sedan for less than $32,000.
But the real competition turned out not to be the lower priced sedans of
the Japanese luxury car divisions, but well-equipped versions of the Honda
Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima and even Hyundai's own Sonata.
2001 was a good year for Hyundai, which sold 59,166 vehicles in Canada,
it's best year since the days of the Pony. But XG300 sales ? 1,108 units ?
accounted for less than 2 per cent of sales. In contrast Hyundai sold over
7,400 Sonatas in 2001.
For 2002, Hyundai introduced a larger 3.5 litre V6 for the XG and renamed
the model the XG350. It was a prescient move, as 2002 saw the introduction
of the new Nissan Altima with its 3.5 litre, 245 horsepower V6 and the 210 horsepower, 3.0 litre
V6 Camry, and later in the year, the 240 horsepower, 3.0 litre V6
2003 Accord.
Producing 194 horsepower at 5,500 r.p.m.,
the Hyundai V6 came up short on horsepower and with 216
ft.-lbs. of torque at 3,500 r.p.m., topped only Honda (211 ft.-lbs. of

New crash tests: Underride guards on most big rigs leave passenger vehicle
occupants at risk in certain crashes
Modern semitrailers for the most part do a good job of keeping passenger
vehicles from sliding underneath them, greatly increasing the chances of
surviving a crash into the back of a large truck, recent tests by the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) show. But in crashes
involving only a small portion of the truck's rear, most trailers fail to

Shopping for a safer car
So you've decided to buy a car, minivan, SUV, or pickup. Now the question
is, which one? If you factor safety into your choice (most people do), then
you probably want to know, what's the safest vehicle to buy? Safety has
numerous aspects, so there's no direct answer, although it's clear that
some vehicles are safer than others. You can find safer vehicles in various
price and style groups. Start by recognizing that safety involves avoiding
crashes to begin with and then protecting yourself if and when a crash

1959 Chevrolet Bel Air vs. 2009 Chevrolet Malibu IIHS crash test
IIHS 50th anniversary demonstration test ⢠September 9, 2009
In the 50 years since US insurers organized the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety, car crashworthiness has improved. Demonstrating this was a
crash test conducted between a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Chevrolet
Malibu. In a real-world collision similar to this test, occupants of the
new model would fare much better than in the vintage Chevy.
"It was night and day, the difference in occupant protection," says
Institute president Adrian Lund. "What this test shows is that automakers
don't build cars like they used to. They build them better."
The crash test was conducted at an event to celebrate the contributions of
auto insurers to highway safety progress over 50 years. Beginning with the
Institute's 1959 founding, insurers have maintained the resolve,
articulated in the 1950s, to "conduct, sponsor, and encourage programs
designed to aid in the conservation and preservation of life and property
from the hazards of highway accidents."

Tuesday March 25, 2014 16:36 by Chris Carlson - 1 of International Middle East Media Center Editorial Group

Luba al-Samri said, in a statement, that the suspects also vandalized the shop, posting slogans reading "Kahane was right," before fleeing the scene.

They play 5-10 minutes of solid hockey every game and everyone who whines about them is just really looking for things to ***** about.
That said, I am looking for the return of White. If only to boot the 7th dman out of that line. Also, White can create some energy and momentum. I enjoyed watching him last year, and I'm looking forward to his return. But don't kid yourself, he's not going to make that big of a difference.
Edit - As for the PP time... Yikes. That was bad. But the reason he was on the power play was that he was one of the few players on this team that was willing to sacrifice the body and screen the goalie.
He's not a good 4th liner, he doesn't hit nor can he skate and forecheck too well either. The 4th line should come in and shift momentum with energy. He doesn't have that ability.
He's more of a good 13th forward, someone that appreciates simply being paid like an NHLer and won't complain being in the pressbox, yet can come in and make intelligent plays if need be.

Nashville's largest TIF deals: slideshow and database
Send this to a friend
- Brian Reisinger
- Senior Staff Reporter- Nashville Business Journal
If you've never thought about tax-increment financing (not exactly an extracurricular topic, right?) you have certainly seen it. The broadly used form of public financing has helped create some of Nashville's most striking features.
To give you a taste, we compiled the top 10 TIF deals in Nashville since 1989 in a slideshow to the right.
Exhibit A: Downtown's iconic AT&T tower, better known as the Batman building, cutting its jagged profile across Nashville's skyline.
Need more?
The largest deal by far — $62 million — was for the Omni Hotel and related development sprouting up in conjunction with Nashville's $585 million Music City Center downtown. Tax-increment financing, or TIF, played a critical role in financing that hotel, as well as the construction of a range of commercial and residential development that has remade entire neighborhoods and caused an economic ripple across Nashville in recent decades.
In a special report out today for full subscribers, we uncover the new push to further remake downtown through TIF, the tool's economic impact and a range of little-known debates about its use. Understanding that landscape is key to being part of a large amount of potential economic development.
If you're interested in a broader historical look, we've also got a database of the nearly 50 deals done in that time frame. You can see what kinds of properties typically land the biggest chunks of money, what years Nashville has been the most active and satisfy other curiosities you may harbor.
There are a few things to understand if it's going to make sense, however.
The financing tool works by pledging the future tax revenue a development creates to pay off the debt necessary for construction. That means that taxpayers don't risk losing any money — the developer is responsible for the loan — but that tax money is diverted toward the project, sometimes for decades at a time.
You'll see that most TIF deals end up working in principle, paying off debt gradually. But some deals have more debt outstanding than a bank originally lent, a sign that the development has struggled and let interest payments pile up.
Most of all, you'll see that TIF — whether you agree with its uses or not — has changed Nashville dramatically. And as we're outlining for readers today, it's likely to do so again.

Funds from operations ("FFO") for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased to $652 million or $1.12 per diluted common share, from $650 million or $1.14 per diluted common share in 2012. In the current quarter, FFO, including transaction costs of $8 million related to the acquisition of MPG Office Trust, Inc., was $134 million or $0.22 per diluted common share, compared with $161 million or $0.28 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $1.1 billion or $1.89 per diluted common share, compared with $1.3 billion or $2.25 per diluted common share in 2012. Net income attributable to common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $152 million or $0.25 per diluted common share, compared with $342 million or $0.59 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter of 2012. The reduction in net income for the year was due primarily to a decrease in fair value gains on the company's investment properties, which amounted to $562 million in 2013 compared with $1 billion in 2012.
Commercial property net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased to $1.4 billion, compared with $1.3 billion in 2012. Commercial property net operating income for the fourth quarter of 2013 decreased to $327 million, compared with $346 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, largely due to the expiration of a large lease in Lower Manhattan. Excluding this expiry and the impact of foreign exchange, same property net operating income on a proportionate basis grew 1.3% during the year.
Common equity per share at December 31, 2013 increased to $21.06 from $19.80 at December 31, 2012, and earned a total return of $2.38 per diluted share representing a 12% return on opening common equity per share.
"Brookfield closed out a successful year with an extremely active fourth quarter -- specifically on the leasing front as we signed 3.9 million square feet of leases globally, more than double our five-year quarterly average," said Dennis Friedrich, chief executive officer of Brookfield Office Properties.

- An exchange rate that assumes a weaker Canadian dollar at $1.08 to US$1.00, a weaker Australian dollar at $1.12 to US$1.00, and a stronger British pound sterling at £ 0.61 to US$1.00;
- A decrease in same-store commercial property net operating income of 9.7% in 2014 (remains flat excluding Brookfield Place New York);
- Dispositions totaling net proceeds of approximately $600 million, which we expect to reinvest into our development and redevelopment initiatives; and
- No acquisitions.
Dividend Declaration
The Board of Directors of Brookfield Office Properties declared a quarterly common share dividend of $0.14 per share payable on March 31, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2014. Shareholders resident in the United States will receive payment in U.S. dollars and shareholders resident in Canada will receive their dividends in Canadian dollars at the exchange rate on the record date, unless they elect otherwise. Common shareholders have the option to participate in the company's Dividend Reinvestment Program, in which all or a portion of cash dividends can be automatically reinvested in common shares. The quarterly dividends payable for the Class AAA Series G, H, J, K, L, N, P, R, and T preferred shares were also declared payable on March 31, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 14, 2014, and quarterly dividends payable for the Class AAA series V, W and Y were declared payable on February 14, 2014 to shareholders of record on January 31, 2014.
Basis of Presentation
This press release and accompanying financial information make reference to commercial property net operating income, funds from operations (on a total and per share basis), total return (on a total and per share basis) and common equity per share. Commercial property net operating income, funds from operations, total return and common equity per share do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We define commercial property net operating income as revenue from commercial property operations less direct commercial property expense. Our definition of funds from operations includes all of the adjustments that are outlined in the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of FFO such as the exclusion of gains (or losses) from the sale of real estate property, the add back of any depreciation and amortization related to real estate assets and the adjustment to reflect our interest in unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition to the adjustments prescribed by NAREIT, we also make adjustments to exclude any unrealized fair value gains (or losses) that arise as a result of reporting under IFRS, and income taxes that arise as a result of our structure as a corporation as opposed to a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). Total return represents the amount by which we increase the value of our common equity through funds from operations and the increase or decrease in value of our investment properties over a period of time. Common equity per share represents the book value of our common equity, adjusted for proceeds from the assumed exercise of all options outstanding, divided by total common shares outstanding, including potential common shares from the exercise of all options. In calculating common equity per share on a pre-tax basis, we adjust the book value of our common equity by adding back our net deferred tax liabilities.
Commercial property net operating income is an important measure that we use to assess operating performance and funds from operations is a widely used measure in analyzing the performance of real estate. We provide the components of commercial property net operating income and a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to funds from operations with the financial information accompanying this press release. We reconcile funds from operations to net income attributable to common shareholders rather than cash flow from operating activities as we believe net income attributable to common shareholders is the most comparable measure. When calculating diluted funds from operations, total return and common equity per share in this press release, we exclude the effects of settling our capital securities - corporate through the issuance of common shares as our past practice has been to redeem our capital securities - corporate for cash rather than convert to common shares and our intention is to continue with this practice. This diluted calculation is not in accordance with IFRS. Diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders is calculated in accordance with IFRS.
