As part of the College's Thomas Roy and Lura Forrest Jones Visiting Lecture Series, Broadway composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim will engage in an onstage conversation with New York Times columnist Frank Rich.
"An Evening with Stephen Sondheim: A Life in the Theater" will take place at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 8, in Colton Chapel. The conversation will conclude with a question and answer session. Questions are requested ahead of time and can be emailed to Aimee Torrisi in the Office of the President. The event is free and open to the public. Sondheim and Rich will also present a private workshop-style session with students and faculty.
Sondheim is arguably the greatest living creator of American musical theater. Over the past 50 years, his landmark contributions ranged from the classics West Side Story and Gypsy to his masterpieces Sunday in the Park with George and Sweeney Todd. Sondheim's sophisticated shows, which feature his complex lyrics and intricate melodies, challenged traditional notions of what a musical could be, and ushered the uniquely American art form of the Broadway musical into its maturity and into the modern age.
During the live, unscripted conversation, Sondheim and Rich will reminisce about Sondheim's career including his collaborations with Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins, and Tim Burton; predecessors, including his mentor Oscar Hammerstein II; the state of American musical theater; and the differences between film and theater. Also, in a very personal series of reflections, he will discuss his own creative process, speaking specifically on his major works.
The Thomas Roy and Lura Forrest Jones Visiting Lecture Series was founded by Trustee Emeritus Thomas Roy Jones in 1973 to provide Lafayette students with the opportunity to hear presentations and interact each year with individuals of exemplary accomplishment in the academic world or in public life.
Stephen Sondheim's work has won dozens of awards and his lyrics and music have become so popular as to become part of the American lexicon.
He wrote the lyrics for his first Broadway hits West Side Story (1957) and Gypsy (1959), which have been repeatedly revived on Broadway and throughout the world. His first Broadway show as both composer and lyricist was A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum in 1962. With numerous collaborators, he would go on to create a remarkable succession of musicals: Do I Hear a Waltz? (1965), Company (1970), Follies (1971), A Little Night Music (1973), The Frogs (1974), Pacific Overtures (1976), Sweeney Todd (1979), Merrily We Roll Along (1981), Sunday in the Park with George (1984), Into the Woods (1987), Assassins (1990), Passion (1994), and Bounce (2003).
He also wrote the scores for the Alain Resnais film Stavisky (1974) and Warren Beatty's Academy Award-winning Reds (1981), as well as songs for Beatty's Dick Tracy (1990), among other movies.
His songs have been anthologized in hit Broadway and West End revues, including Side by Side by Sondheim and Putting It Together. Many of his musicals have been made into movies, including, most recently, the Tim Burton-directed adaptation of Sweeney Todd (2007), starring Johnny Depp.
Sondheim has won numerous awards including the Kennedy Center Honors, the Pulitzer Prize, two Grammys, an Oscar, and eight Tonys, including a special award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theater in 2008.
Also in 2008, Sony BMG Masterworks released the CD-set, Stephen Sondheim: The Story So Far, a four-disc collection of music from Sondheim's Broadway shows, film scores, television specials, incidental music, and previously unreleased recordings as well as photographs from his personal archives.
Frank Rich started as a columnist on the New York Times op-ed page in 1994 after 14 years as the paper's chief drama critic. He has also served as a senior writer for The New York Times Magazine and a film and television critic at Time magazine.
Among other honors, Rich received the George Polk Award for commentary in 2005. He is the author of The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth in Bush's America (2006); a childhood memoir Ghost Light (2000); a collection of drama reviews, Hot Seat: Theater Criticism for The New York Times, 1980-1993 (1998); and The Theatre Art of Boris Aronson with co-author Lisa Aronson (1987). In 2008, Mr. Rich signed on as a creative consultant to help initiate and develop new programming for HBO.

Special to the Tribune-Star
The falling snow I watched as I sat in my cabin and looked down into the woods last week caught us all by surprise. It wasn't so much that it snowed — after all, it is December and Indiana — but we had more than 7 inches of it up my way, and no one was expecting that at all. Why, the white stuff piled itself so high on the wooden rail that runs in front of my big window that I had to slip on my boots to head out and brush it away, just so I could watch my favorite spot down the hill. I hate to miss out when the turkeys or the deer come to visit.
I spent my morning scraping paths here and there so we could get around our place, and also in facing the realization that I am not nearly as ready for winter and Christmas as I thought; they've caught me by surprise. For a few weeks now, I have been almost smug in the knowledge that my yard has been cleaned, that my gutters are leaf-free, and that every single flower pot I have is empty and turned upside down in the barn. I even have my garden hoses drained and hanging on a barn wall, a good thing, considering it dropped into single digits for most of a week, which makes handling hoses as fun as wrestling gators.
Unfortunately, I also realized that I have a mower yet to service and clean, and that the new set of truck tires I promised myself to get before the first snowfall is still a figment of my imagination. As of writing this, I have yet to get our outdoor Christmas lights up, and I don't want to think about getting cards ready to mail, even though I realize that the opportunity to do so is slipping away. I haven't covered the lawn furniture on our deck yet, and I have noticed that the grasshopper ornament we have near our front door looks a little out of place with snow piled on it — fitting, I guess since it was the grasshopper in the old fable who dallied and put up nothing for winter while his industrious ant-neighbor was working his six legs to nubbins.
Winter does supply us with surprises.
We never expect it to be as cold as it is when we walk out on an early winter morning still wearing the light jacket we've gotten used to in the fall; we spend time searching for our gloves and scarves and long johns, perhaps because we're still in a sort of denial that we'll need such things so soon.
The first few times it snows, we have to re-teach ourselves how to drive, that we have bird feeders to fill, that shoveling the sidewalks loses its charm quickly, that sandals and a T-shirt are no longer a wise choice of attire when heading to the mailbox.
But on our first real snow day, as well, I was reminded why I love winter most of the time, too; it was the first surprise in a season of them. As I most often do after I get out of bed, I let our cats out the back door so they can begin their day's routine of snooping and loafing. One of our youngest feline buddies, a lanky tiger named Henry, ran to the door in anticipation of a day that would start pretty much like his last one. That is until he blindly ran headlong through the doorway onto an icy deck covered with snow.
Henry slammed on his brakes in a futile effort to avoid a small drift, but skidded into it anyway, then jumped a foot into the air before he retreated toward the door; I stood there watching, a cup of hot coffee in my hands, my breath frosting the glass. The snow, a very wet variety, glommed onto Henry's paws and legs, and he spent a minute or two shaking one leg, then another, and another, and another. But it didn't take long for the little guy to get the hang of playing in snow, either. After just a little while, he was batting chunks of ice across the deck like hockey pucks, and by the time I got bundled up and headed outside to grab my snow shovel, he was reveling in drifts a foot or two tall, leaping from the steps into them like a cliff diver in Acapulco.
Christmas, of course, is a season for surprises, although perhaps not so much now for me as it was a while back, and I think that is too bad. I was given no reason whatsoever not to believe in Santa Claus when I was a boy — I still do, by the way — and Christmas morning for my brother and sister and me was one huge, happy surprise, orchestrated by parents who worked hard and spent money they scraped together.
There should be some concern about where we're headed with Christmas surprises these days. So many of us exchange long computerized gift lists, often just trade checks or gift cards or cash. In so many instances, we already know what we are getting one another, and that, although practical, removes a joy that we should still have in our lives. Our children, especially, should have it, too.
I still remember that my grandfather had an uncanny knack for guessing what each of us had gotten him. He would wander around the tree like some shaman, shaking and sniffing and hefting his packages, then announce in a matter-of-fact tone, well before he opened his aftershave lotion or wool hunting socks, "I won't tell you what it is, but it sure smells good," or, "I sure hope these keep my feet warm." My mom used to do the slow burn because she felt he was ruining both his own surprise and ours.
I still wish I knew how he did it.
Just a few days ago, I sat at my window, a place that I hope I'll be found for a long time to come. The trees were wearing an overcoat of white crystals, and my woods sparkled in what Emerson called the "frolic architecture of snow." Out of the corner of my eye, I spied nearly a dozen Canada Geese, flying in a near-perfect V. They had left the ponds below our hill and were headed due west, perhaps wishing they'd tuned into the local weather report a few days earlier. I watched them disappear into a frigid blue sky.
Even my grandfather couldn't have guessed those surprising gifts were coming my way.

Patty Dorene Girdner-Thompson was born Feb. 23, 1961, in Tahlequah, to John and Rachel Girdner. She departed this life on Aug. 18, 2012, in Tulsa, at the age of 51, surrounded by her children and family.
Services will be held Wednesday, Aug. 22, at 2 p.m., at Green Country Funeral Home Chapel. Officiating will be Pastor Bo Wolf. Interment will follow at Hungry Mountain Cemetery under the direction of Green Country Funeral Home. Online condolences may be left at tahlequahfuneral.com.
Patty is preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Harold and Gerald; sister, Rachel; and her first husband, Harold Wisdom.
Patty married Harold in 1980, and to this union two children were born, Cassey Jo and Josephus. Harold had two children, Jackie and Mandy, who Patty loved as her own. After Harold's death, Patty married Ron Thompson and was rewarded with another son, Joshua.
Patty is survived by a loving family, which includes her husband, Ron; daughter, Cassey Jo and husband Wade; son, Josephus; daughter, Mandy and husband Gary; sons Jackie and Joshua; grandchildren Austin Simpson, Amber, Justin and Megan Stephens, Cleo and Jacob Wisdom, and Kylon Thompson; great-grandson, Kyran Stephens; sisters Sadie Long, Betty Cole, Rita Wolf and husband Bo; brothers Jerry Girdner and wife Brenda, Bill John Girdner and wife Lei Lani, Dale Girdner and wife Mary; and numerous nieces and nephews. Patty is also survived by her extended family; Keith Johnson, her longtime best friend, whom she loved like a brother; and Leland and Candy Wolf, who were like her second parents.
Patty attended Tenkiller Elementary and Cave Springs High School. During high school, she became known to her friends as "Bird." She spent her summers playing softball. She traveled along with her sister over most of Northeast Oklahoma playing with teams in tournaments. After school, she went to work at Toddlers Inn day care center for 10 years. She loved to have her hair brushed, and the kids would take turns brushing her hair as she told them stories.
They are all grown with children of their own, but they still talk about the influence she was in their lives and the great times they had with her at daycare.
After the daycare closed, she went to work at The Echota House Restaurant, in 1987, for Leland and Candy Wolf. She also went to work at Cherokee Elementary School. She loved all her school kids and was loved by each one of them.
Patty had a love for life, family, and friends that had no bounds. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren and of their accomplishments in life. She treated all their friends like they were her own. She helped raise three of her nieces, Jennifer, Patty and Kendra. She took them everywhere with her. They love to tell stories of the softball games they went to with her.
Each and every one of her family members and friends can tell stories and they are all about the love they had for her and the love she had for each one of them.
We all have an emptiness in our hearts that can never be filled. But Patty is in a better place now – in the arms of the Lord, safe and secure.
Green Country Funeral Home, 203 S. Commercial Road, (918) 458-5055.

Trademark and Copyright talks directed towards creative entrepreneurs. -- Law Office of David H. Faux, P.C.
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 05, 2014
On July 18, 2014, Dave Faux of the Law Office of David H. Faux, P.C. will give a talk called, Destroying Goodwill: 4 Common Trademark Mistakes. This talk covers the importance of trademark and reviews the basics of creating, registering, and protecting this part of your intellectual property. Too often, new clients bring me an intellectual property portfolio that is a mess, says Faux. Among the problems he sights are choosing trademarks that are either generic or descriptive, trusting automated websites to register marks accurately, or simply establishing a mark without protecting it.
Your intellectual property represents as much as 80% of the value of your business, Faux continues. By not treating it as a precious asset, youre confusing consumers, losing revenue, and unnecessarily spinning your wheels.
In September, 2013, Dave Faux released The American Bar Associations Legal Guide to Fashion Design. Published by the ABA, Faux edited the entire volume and personally authored the chapters on copyright and trademark creation. The book has received praise from, among others, such fashion industry luminaries as designer Nanette Lepore, Steven Kolb (CEO of the Council of Fashion Designers of America), Simon Collins (Dean of the School of Fashion, Parsons The New School for Design), and Daniella Vitale (Chief Operating Officer and Senior Executive Vice President of Barneys New York).
For more information or to reserve a spot at Destroying Goodwill, send an email to trademark(at)dhf-law(dot)net.
Dave Faux will also give several talks to authors on behalf of the Dramatists Guild of America, Inc. These talks are from a larger cycle of lectures applicable to artists in general, says Faux, and authors in particular. The first lecture in the cycle is entitled, Author as a CEO, which describes how artists should maintain their intellectual property portfolio, particularly their copyrights. The second lecture is called, The Better Part of Valor: An Authors Bill of Rights. This lecture instructs on the foundations of leverage for any artist in any negotiation, using theater industry illustrations. The third lecture is The Puppy Clause: Intermediate Negotiations, and reviews a method for evaluating any license agreement for fairness and benefit from an artists perspective.
For more information about the lectures and other events sponsored by the Dramatists Guild, please visit http://www.dramatistsguild.com.
Faux makes a point of accepting invitations to such areas whenever possible, as the typical attorney in these states cannot make a living by specializing in intellectual property (IP). Most creatives, from playwrights to fashion designers, struggle to find the right attorney, he says.
According to his experience in traveling to different parts of the country every year, people often have their copyrights and trademarks done by the same attorney who handled a commercial lease or a divorce settlement. If lucky, they may have an attorney adept at intellectual property, but in a different industry, such as pharmaceutical companies. In this respect, Faux advocates for using any lawyer rather than no lawyer. Registering, protecting, and licensing your IP can be very sophisticated. And since most IP is based in federal law, creatives should definitely investigate hiring someone in a major city with a focus in IP. But if thats not possible, go local. There are plenty of competent lawyers who understand how to be diligent with any of their clients matters.

Special to The Leader
The Orange Leader
AUSTIN, Texas —
Reducing waste. It's a major opportunity to address the growing global demand for food and, in Texas and across the United States, to slow the rising cost of groceries.
According to Professor Jon Foley, director of the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota, huge investments have been made on increasing food production, but not enough is being done to reduce the amount of food that's being wasted and ending up in landfills.
"We've spent billions and billions of dollars trying to get crops to grow faster, to improve yields," Foley said, 'yet globally, crop production has only increased about 20 percent in the last 20 years, despite all those efforts. And here's 40 percent of the world's food that is sitting around rotting."
Much of the 40 percent of food waste in the U.S. and other wealthy nations occurs along the supply chain, Foley explained, with foodstuffs being tossed out of home refrigerators, and dumped at places like restaurants and cafeterias.
"In poor countries, it's also about 30 to 40 percent," he said, "but mostly between the farmer and the distributor - the crop never got to distribution. It rotted in a storage system; it never got to a train or a truck. So, we have these big food waste problems everywhere in the world, but it kind of depends on the context of where you are."
Already, hundreds of millions of people in the world are hungry, and the number is predicted to grow along with the population, which is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050.
Consumers have a number of ways to reduce food waste, keep it out of landfills and keep more money in their pocket. For example, Foley suggested, use up leftovers and learn how to tell when food goes bad - it isn't always the "sell-by" or "use-by" date - and change shopping habits.
"I know this sounds inconvenient, but try to shop a bit more frequently and maybe for less volume," he said. "Have a small market near your house for things that are more perishable, like milk, eggs, meat and that kind of thing. For nonperishable stuff, that's where maybe you stock up and say, 'I can buy all the boxes of cereal I want. They're not going to go bad for a long time.'"
According to Foley, the average American throws away between $300 and $500 worth of food each year, with the biggest losses in meat and seafood.

Target's Tax Subsidies Under Scrutiny After Chicago Living Wage Fight
PSN on August 17, 2006 - 9:56am
Target management apparently didn't get the memo. Faced with stagnating wages and increasing inequality, American workers and taxpayers are waking up to the big box gambit where irresponsible employers subsidize their low wages through favorable tax packages. When Target threatened to stop opening new stores in Chicago if the Windy City gave final approval to its ordinance requiring a living wage for retail workers (see this Dispatch for more details), it opened up a new debate over why cities are offering low-wage retail stores tax subsidies in the first place. As a new report produced by the Neighborhood Capital Budget Group documents, Target received $9.9 million in tax-increment financing (TIF) to subsidize its existing stores in Chicago.
The fight has spilled over to Target's home state, Minnesota, as Good Jobs First details:
Labor and community organizations are putting together a coalition to lobby the state legislature to end tax-increment financing (TIF) for retail projects in Minnesota. Angered by the position of Target Corp. in Chicago, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 789 President Don Seaquist said: "Taxpayers can no longer allow TIF to be used by retailers that don't pay a living wage, don't provide health care and aggressively deny their workers a voice at work."
Labor is working with ACORN and TakeAction Minnesota, the latter an organization with a long history of working to pass path-breaking economic subsidy disclosure reforms in Minnesota. If Target is going to resist paying decent wages, activists in Minnesota want reforms to end subsidies for Target or any company that doesn't use public money to promote decent jobs.

The third annual Highline Hustle is a good way to get in shape for the summer season and raise money for a good cause.
This sprint triathlon begins with a 500 meter swim, then it's a sixteen mile bike ride followed by a 5–K run.
It was a true test of stamina, endurance, and will for the racers.
This year there were more than 180 runners raising money for Grand Junction's Parks and Recreation Department to benefit at risk youth.

---- — MORRISON, Ill. — From chaotic swirls of paint to perfectly planned-out images, a sea of mini-murals decorated the streets of Morrison on Saturday.
Featuring a variety of music, festival food and booths, the 19th annual Paint the Town event was full of activity. Ranging in age and from both the local area and out of state, people flocked to the community event.
Co-chairwoman Barb Bees was thrilled with the turnout Saturday. More than 1,400 squares were purchased by Friday, with many more people registering at the event. Bees added that every year, it seems to grow.
"It is as fresh as it was the first year," said Bees, thanking event sponsors for allowing it to continue.
The yearly day of art brought many returning participants, as well as first-timers. For some local families, attending this is a yearly tradition.
"It's just a part of our community and we do it every year," said Al Ohlsen, of Morrison, directing his son, Tristan, 7, and his daughter, Sarah, 20 months, to where their squares were located.
Inspiring Artist Anna Stamschror, 17, of Milwaukee, could be found painting an imaginary skyline on a store window. Her father is from Morrison and they return for the event each year.
Originally from Morrison, Valerie Boles, of Fulton, Ill., had never participated in Paint the Town. This year, she decided to bring her boyfriend's daughter with her and give it a try. As she painted a pink heart in her square, she found herself greatly enjoying the event.
"I like it," Boles said. "I think it's pretty fantastic."
Kendra Underwood, 9, of Albany, Ill., is not sure why she loves the event. She loves to paint and said she guess she likes having a larger canvas to work on.
"And this is pretty big," Underwood said.

Many tears and many memories were shared for singer Jenni Rivera at the Universal Studios Gibson Amphitheater on Wednesday morning.
An estimated 5,000 attended the memorial, which had tickets handed out for free for the "diva of banda music."
The children's tributes are particularly heartbreaking for the singer, who was killed in a plane crash in Mexico.
Rivera's brother, Pastor Pedro Rivera Jr. led the two-hour service and her parents and five children attended, and many watched on big screens.
See some of the videos, and some of the fan photos and statements.
Add some of your own about what you think of the singer, and if you attended the memorial.

In the intensely-competitive compact-car market, the details count for everything, and the 2014 Ford Focus covers those details. The Focus looks great on the outside without giving the impression it will fade from fashion in the next six months. The inside is modern and comfortable – it's spacious and offers a generous assortment of premium features and touches with the ascending trim levels of S, SE and Titanium. You can have the Ford Focus as a 4-door sedan or 5-door hatchback, and it's fully competitive with all the likely suspects, including the import nameplates of Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Nissan Sentra, Toyota Corolla and Mazda Mazda3, and its fellow domestics the Chevy Cruze and Dodge Dart. Shopping in this market segment? The Focus deserves your attention.You'll Like This Car If...
Want an efficient compact sedan with style, efficiency, technology and comfort that's still fun to drive? Give the 2014 Focus your close attention.You May Not Like This Car If...
Some buyers might find the styling just a bit much. And if the pure bottom line is your main consideration, such competitors as the Chevy Cruze, Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte can deliver solid transportation value for less money.What's New for 2014
For 2014, the only change of any significance for the Focus is a new Sport Appearance Package for the SE trim level, consisting of sport cloth seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and an available rear spoiler.Driving It Driving Impressions
With its internationally-inspired engineering and design foundations, the 2014 Ford Focus delivers a first-class driving experience. All trim levels are noted for a comfortable feel to the ride combined with quick response and confidence-inspiring stability. The higher trim-level Focus Titanium, when fitted with the optionally-available 18-inch wheels and 40-series tires, tends to ride a little firmer but handle even more responsively. For those times when bad weather or tricky situations require some assistance, the AdvanceTrak stability control, in combination with a torque-vectoring control system that transfers power to the wheel with the most grip, keeps things on course. With front disc/rear drum brakes on the Focus S and 4-wheel discs on higher trim levels, the brakes deliver sure stops. Even the Focus Electric can be considered fun to drive.Favorite Features
Standard on Titanium trim levels, Ford's top-line infotainment and telematics package is based on an even more advanced – and now more user-friendly – application of the automaker's acclaimed SYNC voice-command system and includes a premium 10-speaker Sony sound system, with HD Radio, media hub, in-car Wi-Fi access and more.
Ford engineers went the extra mile to give the 2014 Focus commendable road manners and comfort, which is something we really appreciate.
While not the roomiest in its class, the cabin on the Focus boasts the look and feel of a more expensive car, reinforcing that premium character with loads of soft-touch surfaces and an abundance of sound-attenuation materials. Legible instrumentation and well-positioned controls in all versions are complemented by an 8.0-inch full-color touch-screen that replaces the normal multifunction display on Titanium models with the MyFord Touch infotainment and navigation system. The rear seat is scaled for two mid-sized adults but decently padded for three kids. Folding the 60/40 rear seatbacks to a semi-flat position adds utility to the regular Sedan's 13.2-cubic foot conventional trunk and raises the capacity of the Hatchback's cargo area from 23.8 to 44.8 cubic feet. However, the battery pack puts a big dent in cargo space on the Focus Electric.Exterior
The Focus sedan and hatchback embody an aggressive and aerodynamic look that is effectively reinforced by a lower, sleeker windshield rake and flowing roofline set off by smartly-stylized headlight and taillight treatments. Filling its tastefully-flared fenderwells are wheel and tire packages that range from 195/65 all-season tires on 15-inch steel wheels on the Focus S Sedan to 215/55 tires with 17-inch aluminum rims on Titanium models. The top-line Focus Titanium is also available with an optional 18-inch wheel upgrade that includes 235/40 performance tires as well as a sport-tuned suspension.Notable Standard Equipment
Even the base Focus S sedan boasts an impressive complement of power assists, air conditioning, tilt/telescoping steering column, keyless remote entry, AM/FM/CD/MP3 radio, anti-lock disc/drum brakes and front, front-side and side-curtain airbags, while the SE adds SYNC with MyFord Driver Connect, cruise control, folding rear seat, 4-wheel discs, programmable MyKey and 16-inch tires on alloy wheels. The Titanium trim level has leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, push-button starting, SYNC/MyFord Touch, a 10-speaker Sony HD sound system, Sirius Satellite Radio and a 17-inch wheel and tire package. The richly-appointed Focus Electric features unique eco-fabric seat covers and adds voice-activated navigation.Notable Optional Equipment
The Focus S 4-door is available with the 6-speed dual-clutch auto-shifter and remote starting. SE models offer an Appearance Package (leather, 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, satellite radio, rear spoiler, and more), Interior Style Package (2-tone leather-trimmed seats, coordinated interior finish and steering wheel, premium floor mats, and more), Sport Package (sport cloth seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and available rear spoiler). Also available are a Winter Package, Appearance Black Package, Super Fuel Economy Package, power moonroof and navigation. Focus Titanium buyers can choose a 5-speed manual transmission, moonroof, navigation, the Technology Package, Style Packages, a Winter Package and a Handling Package.Under the Hood
All conventional 2014 Focus models are fitted with a naturally-aspirated, direct-injected 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that uses Ford's twin-independent variable camshaft timing. This smooth free-revver makes 160 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque and can be paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic. On the SE with Sport Package and Titanium models, the automated-manual transmission adds SelectShift capability via a rocker switch on the shift lever. Auto-shifted SE sedans with the mileage-maxing SFE Package rate a 40-mpg EPA highway rating but the economy star is the Focus Electric. With a 143-horsepower permanent-magnet motor energized by a 23 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, this ultra-clean hatchback returns a remarkable 105 MPGe combined rating from the EPA.
2.0-liter inline-4
160 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm
146 lb-ft of torque @ 4,450 rpm
EPA City/highway fuel economy: 26/36 mpg (manual), 28/38 mpg (automatic), 27/37 mpg (SelectShift automatic), 28/40 mpg (SFE trim, automatic)
Synchronous electric motor/generator
23kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack
107kW/143 horsepower
184 lb-ft of torque
Projected range: 76 miles
The 2014 Focus S has a Manufacturer's suggested Retail Price (MSRP) around $17,000, the high-volume SE Sedan is around $19,000, and the SE hatch will be near $20,000. The Titanium sedan and hatch are around $24,000 and $25,000, respectively, and will be above the $27-$28K range when heavily optioned. Those numbers may have some buyers considering alternative choices, particularly the Hyundai Elantra sedan and GT 5-door, both of which cost less and have a slightly better retained value. Priced at around $40,000 without the federal tax credits or other incentives, the Focus Electric requires buyers to commit some green to go green. Check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to find out what buyers are really paying for the 2014 Ford Focus. We expect the Focus to retain its value about as well as the Dodge Dart and Chevy Cruze, but below the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra and some other imports.

Diner Reviews
This is my 2nd restaurant week
visit to Capital Grille & I must say it is the perfect choice for this special deal. The portions are quite large and the entrees included the filet mignon for dinner. Their bread basket is also worth the visit in itself. I opted for the caesar salad for my appetizer, which was very good. I had the filet mignon for my entree, which was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes and green beans side dishes came with our entrees to share and both were very tasty. The flourless chocolate espresso cake was also really good! On the normal basis, I'd reserve this restaurant for special occasions because it is quite pricey, but I will continue to return each year for restaurant week."
Dined on 7/29/2014
Always a pleasure eating at
Capital Grille. They have the best restaurant week menu. Service, food, wine & atmoshpere are perfect every time. Never had a bad experience"
Dined on 7/29/2014
I'm sure dinner at Capital Grille
- Chrysler is great too, but the lunch service is ideal for a business lunch or meeting. The execution is flawless."
Dined on 7/29/2014
Always a good choice but this time
they were having a wine special which was great value."
Dined on 7/28/2014
Steak was perfectly prepared and
the service was attentive and friendly (John was superb!)."
Dined on 7/28/2014
Every aspect of this restaurant
was perfect ! The hostesses, the waitress, the young man who gave us the delicious bread.. were all so professional and polite. They were so accommondating.."
Dined on 7/28/2014
One of the best meals we've ever
had! We ordered from the restaurant week menu and it was my fiance's birthday so we got a really great deal. When we were seated, our table had confetti on it and a sweet card from the restaurant thanking us for choosing them for this special occasion. Our service was wonderful. A few minutes later they brought out delicious bread and complimentary champagne. Our meals were incredible as were our desserts. Highly recommend this place."
Dined on 7/28/2014
Capital Grille has been a favorite
for excellent food and service. This time, our experience could have been better. The table service crew seemed unpolished. We had to ask for bread plates. Appetizer plates weren't removed before the entree was served. Four people descended noisily on our table to remove those plates and serve the main course at the same time. The main courses were shopped to the wrong people twice! Our salmon was over cooked after ordering medium rare. The bread basket was removed at the start of the main course, instead of afterward."
Dined on 7/28/2014
Restaurant Week food was
excellent. Salad could have used more ingredients. Wine tasting special, 6 California + 1 Oregon was fantastic, especially the presentation by the server."
Dined on 7/27/2014
We went to Capital Grille at the
Chrysler Center to celebrate my daughter turning 21. It was restaurant week so the place was packed yet we were treated to a table covered with birthday confetti and had the best service and most delicious meal! Our server Mony made us feel like we were the only people he looked after that night and our food was fantastic! We opted for the generous pour wine tasting and really enjoyed the many unique and interesting wine selections! I would highly recommend the Capital Grille to anyone!!"
Dined on 7/25/2014
Great meal as always and to top it
off they have their annual Generous Pour promotion running. The manager remembered me from past visits and ensured everything was to my satisfaction. Great all around dining!"
Dined on 7/25/2014
We participated in the Restaurant
Week menu. The choices were really excellent- steak or fish. Staff is very friendly and helpful. This has become our favorite neighborhood restaurant."
Dined on 7/25/2014
Restaurant Week at Capital Grille
is always a tremendous bargain. Excellecake.nt filet mignon bookended by a first rate ceasar salad and a very good if slightly sweet cheese"
Dined on 7/24/2014
Both our steak was off, not sure
would go back again. On another note, clam chowder was nice, like the bread. Location is good."
Dined on 7/24/2014
Good basic steakhouse food, well
prepared but a very, very noisy glitzy place. Great waiter and great restaurant week menu. They made a nice effort to note a birthday in our group and seated as away from the noisiest part but it was pretty loud."
Dined on 7/24/2014
Truly enjoyed our dining
experience during restaurant week along with the "open pour" wine tasting special. Since we were in the back right room the noise level was fine, however, in the open bar area it could be a little noisy. Highly recommend as the food and service were fantastic!"
Dined on 7/24/2014
Second time this week I have come
here for NYC Restaurant Week. The food quality, the Generous Pour wine program and the attentive and personable staff on all levels all make it a great dining destination."
Dined on 7/24/2014
We were not offered restaurant
week menu but were given menu when we requested it. No special martini menu available. The restaurant week menu was very limited. The salad was bland and soggy. The sirloin steak was a poor choice. It was tough and tasteless. Very disappointing. The chocolate cake and cheesecake were the best part if the meal."
Dined on 7/24/2014
I'd never been here before, so it
was great to be able to experience it. They have gorgeous architecture and super professional and attentive wait staff (although one waitron did address my boyfriend and I both as "ladies"). The food was delicious from the bread basket to the sirloin to the flourless chocolate cake (the last being my favorite!). Would come again."
Dined on 7/23/2014
We had family in from Minneapolis
and this was a perfect location for our dinner together - great food, roomy table and plenty of time to enjoy it all!"
Dined on 7/23/2014
Delicious steak and ambiance.
The manager is always welcoming and keeps the room running smoothly. Enjoyed it very much."
Dined on 7/23/2014
We always enjoy our visits here.
Consistently very good."
Dined on 7/22/2014
We celebrated a birthday The
Capital Grille. My party was late, but the staff handled this inconvenience very graciously. Taylor promised a fabulous table and we were not disappointed. The Capital would be perfect choice for any occasion, but having the added bonus of dining during Restaurant Week added to evening. Our captain, Christian, was attentive and charming. And the food was excellent. A lovely evening was had by all."
Dined on 7/22/2014
I took a client here for lunch who
was from out of town. At first I thought it was going to be "stuffy" as there were a lot of men in suits standing at the entrance waiting for tables and it was a dark entrance. BUT, it turned out that the food was excellent and our seat was in a great spot in the middle of the restaurant. We had reservations which I would definitely recommend making or be prepared to wait. Overall a great pick for my client and he enjoyed the place and that's what matters most!"
Dined on 7/22/2014
Perfect place for a business
lunch, nosie level was good and service was pleasure."
Dined on 7/22/2014
Business lunch necessarily but I
would never go there on my own."
Dined on 7/22/2014
We were a party of 8 including 3
kids. The food was just as delicius as it was 2 years ago and the service still excellent."
Dined on 7/21/2014
This was the only issue, had to
send back meat for more through cooking - had ordered medium well and it was close to raw. Watched two other tables have to send there meat back in the time we were there for lunch. Rest of food was good, well presented and tasted good."
Dined on 7/21/2014
Met Lady friend there for
lunch...Best chopped salad I have ever had, my guest was impressed with the restaurant, she had never been to a Capital Grill. I have many time...I consider it one of the best restaurants in NYC...recommend it to all my business associates who come into NYC for meetings."
Dined on 7/18/2014
The food was great and our waiter
was fantastic. We had the generous pour special. $25 per person for 7 different wines as much as you wanted."
Dined on 7/10/2014
This was our 5th visit to this
restaurant. We decided to try their fish. As a steak place I would stick to meat. Their meat dishes are really special."
Dined on 7/8/2014
We thoroughly enjoyed The Capital
Grille. The food was amazing, service was great and reasonably priced. Our server was Amanda, she was also very nice. I strongly recommend the Lobster Mac n Cheese. OMG."
Dined on 6/28/2014
We visited your restaurant 3 times
and 1 time in the Times/Life building,1 in Baltimore and in Las Vegas. My favorite was Vegas but the Chrysler Building is always our favorite when we are in town in NYC. I have to say my only complaint was, and this might sound odd is that the steaks were just not the great flavor expected.My husband had the Filet bone-in and our granddaughter and her mother had the 10oz filet. And all said they were fine, just not great! We ordered one medium and the other two medium well which I admit, should never be ordered past medium. But these two girls only eat their steaks that way and they are avid steak eaters.. so no matter how it is prepared, it should still taste better then any steak they ever had. Too loud!"
Dined on 6/27/2014
the food was good and the waiter
was very nice and personable. we enjoyed our night out!"
Dined on 6/27/2014
This restaurant was wonderful. We
really enjoyed the food, the service and pretty much everything. We went with the kids and they loved it too. Thanks Capital Grille for a wonderful evening with my family."
Dined on 6/26/2014
Too big, too busy, too loud, too
big portions. This restaurant is clearly popular with the office crowd around Grand Central who want a huge steak, lots of drinks and lots of noise, spending lots of money. If however you want a pleasant dinner, this is probably not the place for you."
Dined on 6/26/2014
Entertained clients for dinner.
Outstanding. Have dined at this restaurant before with the exact same results. Also have been to Capital Grilles in other cities with the same results. Will be back!"
Dined on 6/26/2014
Steak came warm - not hot Waiter
offered to reheat but brought a new one quickly upon my request"
Dined on 6/20/2014
Had dinner with my son, everything
was enjoyable, the food, the service and the company. The manager was extra special....... She came over to us to check in and see how we were doing. Nice surprise."
Dined on 6/19/2014
As always, food was excellent.
Service was excellent as well. Wait staff is always readily available to refill your drink or bring whatever you need without having to look around and find "your waiter." Each time I have gone here, the fish and steaks were excellent, and they are more than happy to prepare the entrees in whatever way you request despite it being different from the menu. Only issue/complaint I had this visit was that I gave the hostess a $250 gift card to apply to the bill before it arrived to the table as I was taking out some friends for their birthdays and wanted to casually pay for most of it. However when the bill came the 250 was not applied and I had to remind the waiter in front of my guests about the card."

The man believed to have inadvertently started Wisconsin's worst wildfire in 25 years will be charged.
The May 5 fire burned nearly 3,900 acres and destroyed 30 homes.
The Adams County district attorney anticipates charges of setting a fire and allowing it to escape.
The name of the 54–year–old man has not been released, but it is known that the man is from southeastern Wisconsin and had just bought a vacation property in the Big Flats area.
The district attorney says charges will likely be filed by early next week.

WASHINGTON — So often when a president picks a Supreme Court justice, Washington politics suddenly turns into something akin to Red Sox vs. Yankees. The two parties dig in and dig deep and argue that the nominee will either preserve and protect the Constitution or turn it into a paper airplane.
But something different happened Tuesday, when President Obama nominated appeals court Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace retiring Justice David A. Souter.
Democrats offered the kind of praise you might expect — but key Republicans spoke cautiously about Sotomayor and their approach to vetting her.
Sotomayor's confirmation will surely get more confrontational as her hearings and a Senate vote draw closer, but there was something striking about the subdued GOP reaction on Tuesday.
It's enough to make you wonder: are Republicans afraid of enraging the huge and growing Hispanic population, which reacted with joy to the appointment of the first Hispanic justice?
Or did Sotomayor somehow manage to sit on the federal bench for nearly two decades without
leaving conservatives much ammunition to use against her?
