Eat with Your Eyes: Polly
Sockerbit, the Swedish candy shop in New York City, finally opened a West Coast store ... and it's walking distance from my office.
The past couple of times I've been over there, I've picked up a scoop of Polly. They're little nougat nuggets dipped in chocolate. They're cute, kind of like Milk Duds in the consistency of the chew but with a rum note to them. Here's my original review of selections I picked up in the New York City store.
There's a world of candy out there ... what are you eating this summer?

Candy Made to Taste Like Cake
There are always flavor trends. Tropical fruits, pumpkin pie spice, hot pepper ... much of it is a pendulum that swings from novelty to the familiar in unfamiliar settings. One of the new flavor trends that has been pointed out by food industry writers is cake.
Cake itself isn't a flavor, it's just an item you can make with some batter and an oven. There are a few different versions of the cake as candy flavors. The popular varieties are Red Velvet Cake, Birthday Cake and Carrot Cake. I gathered together a few that I've picked up in the past few weeks out of curiosity, then I thought maybe I should go through my archives and see how far back this goes and how successful this is as a flavor.
Red Velvet Cake has never been one of my favorites, so making a successful candy adaptation will probably always be lost on me.
Birthday Cake, White Cake or Party Cake is another subset of the flavor, it's usually yellow cake with some sort of vanilla frosting.
Carrot Cake and Spice Cake are by far the most interesting of the lot, because they combine a series of flavors, both the lightly spiced cake with carrot added for texture and moistness then add in the tang of a cream cheese frosting. Mars has reissued their Carrot Cake M&Ms at Walmart again this year.
So this week I'll review: Peeps Party Cake, Brach's Carrot Cake Candy Corn, Russell Stover's Carrot Cake, Wedding Cake and Birthday Cake Eggs. If there are others you've seen in stores, let me know so I can track them down Stay tuned.

Sugarfina Beverly Hills & Trio of Goodies
A few weeks ago I went to the preview opening of the brick & mortar store for Sugarfina. (More photos here on la.eater.) The evening included tastings of a half a dozen of their favorite candies and of course I got to meet one of the co-owners, Rosie, whom I've been corresponding with via email for about a year.
Sugarfina opened earlier this year as a webstore, selling a carefully curated selection of candies from around the world. Many of the gummis are made with all natural flavors & colors and come in extraordinary flavor combinations and shapes. The chocolates are a mix of whimsy and sophistication, with an array of malted milk balls, caramels and cordials.
Sugarfina displays morsels, everything in the shop is morselized, easy for hand-to-mouth sampling and when you're not eating it, it's fun to look at. While browsing the store, if you didn't know it was candy, everything could easily be mistaken for beads or buttons.
Guest were treated to a $10 gift certificate, which I put to good use right away. I even had a shopping list before I got there so I wouldn't be distracted. I chose to create my own bento box. It's a sleeve with three slots. It's exceptionally well designed. The robin's egg blue and white design is carried through the store and packaging. The inside of the box has blue scalloped concentric circles on white, as does the tissue in the bag it was placed in. The box itself is $4, which isn't bad when you consider it doesn't need wrapping and is durable & reusable. The cubes that fit in there were either $7 or $8.
The other change from my previous Sugarfina sampling is that the boxes for the candy have changed. They were a polyester soft plastic, which were not really that secure (hard to keep closed once you took the clear plastic stickers off). The new boxes are acrylic and after you take the labels off, they're also reusable. They're airtight, so any leftover candy keeps far longer.
One of the things that got me to actually go over to Beverly Hills after work was the fact that one of the new products is an Italian fruit gumdrop mix called Citrus and Berry Fruttini. They're little pâte de fruit, coated in crunchy sugar.
The berry is a Wild Blueberry. They're mild and sweet with a dark raspberry jam flavor and then that hint of black tea that I often taste in blueberries.
The yellow is Italian Lemon made from femminello lemons. I've never had a fresh femminello lemon before, but I've had limoncello, which is a sweet lemon liqueur that uses the peels. These are quite zesty and reminded me of Meyer lemons. It's tart, it has a great balance between the sweetness and the oily flavors of the lemon oils.
The orange is Blood Orange. This one was definitely orange, but lacking the zesty notes that the lemon had. If I were to pick these up again, I'd go with the all Lemon selection, which they sell separately. There's also a Wild Strawberry which I didn't get to try.

I am quite fond of candies citrus zest, but the Aphrodite Kumquat goes far above and beyond that humble confection.
At the heart (sorry it's not better depicted) there is a whole kumquat. It's about the size of a small olive and completely candied. Unlike regular orange peels, the rind of a kumquat is pretty thin but when you eat the whole thing, you're also getting the pulp inside. So there's a juicy, tangy orange syrup at the center, along with the very strong clementine-like peel around it. Then it's covered in a thin layer of chocolate. That chocolate is infused with the orangey oils and then the whole thing is encased in a beautifully treated apricot-colored sugar shell.
One is more than enough. They're quite intense, the strength of the citrus oils are enough to leave my tongue burning for several hours. Sure, there are only eight of them in the box, but how could anyone eat more than two in a day?
Rating: 8 out of 10
The Chocolate Sparkles are also Greek and another special find. They're like the smooth and flat little rocks you might pick up on the beach: except they're an exceptionally unnatural shimmery blue.
The candy shell is thick, like a Jordan almond so there's a lot of crunch. The dark chocolate center is smooth and creamy with an excellent silky melt and deep cocoa flavors. Unlike many dark chocolate lentils, these truly are made with dark chocolate that has no additional milk or dairy fat in it. (Though there may be traces of milk, wheat or nuts as they're processed on shared equipment.)
Rating: 8 out of 10
These also came in yellow and pink, also with the shimmery finish. I don't see them on the website, but they were definitely for sale in the store.
The prices are, well, Beverly Hills. However, unlike someplace like Dylan's Candy Bar, where you portion out your generic candy into generic bags for $12.99 a pound, many of those products can be purchased at the drug store for a fraction of the price. Sugarfina's per pound price point is more, about $25.00 per pound, but about 40% of Sugarfina's candy can't be purchased anywhere else in the United States and is far better quality than the drug store fare at most pick a mix candy stores. $25.00 per pound isn't out of range for the chocolate items, but it is steep for sugar candy, even if it's all natural.
Even though they don't scoop by the pound, if you stop in the store, they do have little 1 ounce packets you can buy of many of the items to sample or just have a little treat. In true SoCal fashion they also offer a candy concierge.
It's hard to rationalize it as an everyday candy shop (like I seem to treat See's now that they're walking distance from me), but the decadent packaging and precious treatment of the candy elevates it all to a different level. It's not snacking, it's sampling. It's for grown ups.

Candy Spotting: Christmas 2013
I've been prowling the store shelves since October to see what's back this year in seasonal favorites and what might be new.
I've been pretty excited so see so many old favorites returning plus a few new additions. The flavor combinations of pumpkin spice, peppermint bark and gingerbread continue strong showings with a few egg nog and chili pepper items out there, too.
This is by no means a definitive list, but I've tried to actually find the announced products in stores before adding them to my list.
• Twizzlers Tree Shaped Cherry Candy (new)
Just Born
• Peeps Chocolate Covered Peppermint Trees (Milk & Dark Chocolate)
• Wonka Gobstoppers Snowballs
Mars & Wrigley's
• Life Savers Tin - holds 7 rolls of three different varieties - comes in Butter Rum, Cherry or 5 Flavor package design
Ferrara Candy (Ferrara Pan, Farley's & Sathers + Brach's)
• Brach's Christmas Nougats in Peppermint & Wintergreen and Cinnamon (review)
• Tootsie Roll Candy Cane Pop Drops (review)
Russell Stover
• Ribbon Candy (I suspect this is just a repackage of Sevigny's)
• Swedish Fish (red & green) in bags or theater boxes
Ghirardelli Chocolate
• Ghirardelli Hollow Chocolate Nutcracker
Other Items of Interest
• Giant Toblerone Bars
What are you looking forward to most? And what are you having trouble finding this year? What did I leave out?

Candy Spotting: Giant Candy Gifts
It's not a particularly new development to see giant versions of classic candies on shelves, but I have seen more than usual lately. Here's a rundown of what's available these days:
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (review)
Giant York Peppermint Patties (review)
Hershey's 1 Pound Bar
World's Largest Hershey Bar
Snickers Slice n Share (review)
Toblerone 14 ounces
Mike and Ike and Hot Tamales Giant Box
A better value when it comes to these is really the vending packages, which are 5 pounds, about the size of an airplane pillow and cost less, they're usually available at places like Smart & Final or on the web. (Amazon link.)
Nestle Crunch 1 Pound Bar
Russell Stover 2 Giant Bars S'Mores (review of regular size)
Russell Stover 2 Giant Bars Pecan Delight (review of regular size)
RM Palmer Giant 1/4 Peanut Butter Cup (review)
Giant Tootsie Pop
Giant versions of standard candies are rarely better than the originals. They're a novelty and play off the notion that more is better. But mostly more is fun, more is sharing and more is delightful. If someone doesn't like the standard version, they're unlikely to enjoy the giant, so choose carefully. But the good news is that these are rather inexpensive and make a fun item for a child to give to an adult in their life.
Have you seen any other giant versions of candies for the holidays?

Sugarfina: The Gummis
Sugarfina is a new candy webstore with a unique set of offerings.
Based in Southern California, Sugarfina brings a chic aesthetic to all their candy with their minimalist packaging in robin's egg blue and square formats. The candy is sold in "bulk" that is, it's repackaged by them and sold in an array of different weights. They have created a superb curated list of candies. Some you'll recognize, but their biggest selling point is an array of exquisite European candies that I've never seen sold anywhere else.
Candy is sold in little boxes of different weights or in mixed boxes (they call Bentos) that make excellent gifts. Their team truly understand that candy should appeal first to the eye and then to the rest of the senses.
I still get plenty of offers for free candy samples, but lately it has to be something pretty special to get me to bite. But when you see this list of candies, you'll see what got me interested. Today I'm presenting the assortment of gummis (and one jelly candy). All of the gummis are from Germany and most feature natural colors.
Bitty Berries is a mix of three different gummis. There's a large raspberry looking gummi that has a rather raspberry flavor. Then there are three smaller berries, kind of like petite blueberries that are different colors and flavors. The light amber ones are like a white grape juice flavor, lightly tangy but with a black currant note to them. The pink version is and the purple is like a jammy raspberry. Blueberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, Cranberry and Bilberry.
They're just exquisitely beautiful. Even when I wasn't interested in eating them, they were just too cute to look at.
Rating: 8 out of 10
Champagne Bears come in two colors: a soft peachy pink and a lightly yellow clear. The clear is like a clean apple juice flavor with a light peppery note. The peachy one is, well, much the same. I couldn't really tell them apart except that sometimes the pink one seemed to be a little more raspberry flavored. They're firm and intense. They're well formed and held their shape well, even though they were jammed into their little cube.
I liked them, but didn't think that they were anything better than the new juicy Haribo. But I do like the colors and think that for a special occasion, they'd be a nice favor.
Rating: 8 out of 10
Sugar Peach Sweethearts - I was pretty scared of these. They smelled strongly of peach, not in a bad way but in a strong way. They were so strong that I had to take them out of the bento box and sequester them by themselves so as not to contaminate the chocolate pieces they were co-mingling with. So I was afraid that they'd be overwhelmingly chemical tasting.
Quite the opposite is true. They're little miracle pieces, on the tongue they actual feel for a moment like a real peach. The texture of the sugar sanding is velvety like the fuzz of the peach. The flavor is at once tangy and fruity and honey-sweet and floral and woodsy, like actual peaches. There's no weird artificial coloring in there to give it a metallic aftertaste. They're a bit more tart that I'd probably like if I were to eat them by the handful, but as a little refresher on a hot day when I have a dry mouth, these are unbeatable.
Rating: 10 out of 10
Queen of Hearts were billed on the website as three different flavors: pineapple, grapefruit and black currant. They're also three different sizes of hearts. So it's a lovely looking combination, although the largest heard gets folded over a bit inside the little cube.
Pink was indistinct, but reminded me enough of pineapple to make me think that's what it was. Slightly floral with a tart bite and a crisp flavor to it. It was more like canned pineapple though not as syrupy.
Clear tastes like peach. I'm not sure what flavor it was supposed to be, I was hoping it was the promised grapefruit, but it was tangy and a little peppery. (I did notice that the peach mentioned earlier were very strong, I was wondering if the flavor migrated from the more delicate grapefruit.)
The dark one was definitely black currant. It was strong and had notes of wine and deep boiled cherry.
Rating: 7 out of 10
Cuba Libre is simply amazing. It's a cola gummi, so far so good, with a little softer bubble of rum within. It's stunning. The cola flavor is spicy and tart, a mix of nutmeg, cinnamon and perhaps a little warm kick of ginger but nothing overt and then the acidic bite of lemon. The rum is sweet and a little on the caramel side. I've never seen these anywhere else, and I can't believe they aren't being imported and sold in the US by the cargo container as it is. If there's a reason to order from Sugarfina, it's the Cuba Libre gummi.
Rating: 10 out of 10
Minty Polar Bears are downright weird and I'll go ahead and warn you that they're not mint. They're like a bubble gum flavored mentholated chewy cough drop. The first note on the tongue is a little tartness then a huge whiff of what I can only describe as acetone (which I sometimes get confused with banana flavoring). Then there's a menthol hit, a little more of a sort of mild lime flavor and the bitterness of that zest. It all ends with a slight queasy feeling.
I've had eucalyptus gummis before and liked them quite a bit, so I was hoping for something like that. I find them curious enough that I continue to sample them from time to time. But I never feel like I want to eat another one, just that I should.
Rating: 6 out of 10
Heavenly Sours are little stars, comets and crescent moons in fruity flavors. They're sour sanded and come in lovely naturally tinted colors. They're not actually gummis, they're jellies. They're made in the US, not in Germany like most of the other gummis from Sugarfina. They're tart and have nicely distinguished flavors. Orange is a zesty and tart orange. Lemon is wonderfully sour. Blue is raspberry and a little overdone. Red is cherry and is, well, cherry.
Rating: 7 out of 10
As a thank you gift or something for someone who has everything, this is a great option. It's not cheap, so it's not something I'm likely to treat myself to very often. They also have lots of themed boxes and kits, so it's easy to pick for Coffee Lovers, Licorice Aficionados, or Caramel Fiends. The large bento boxes with 8 x 4 ounce boxes of treats are $50. By the pound, the candy is $17.50.
They do a good job of labeling for allergies as well, even if they won't tell me who make those Cuba Libre gummis.They're currently only available via the web, but there's talk of a store in the future here on the west side of Los Angeles.

Just when everyone thought we were all set to move forward with the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) pollution rules set to go into effect next year, a wrinkle has been thrown into the plans.
CARB member Dr. John Telles, a cardiologist, has requested the rule that requires the installation of diesel particulate filters on trucks operating in the state be revisited after he learned that one of the authors of the report CARB used to create the rule "misrepresented his credentials," according to a story this week in the Fresno Bee.
According to the story, Hien Tran did not have a doctorate degree from the University of California at Davis, but rather an online degree from Thornhill University. The story goes on to say that board chairwoman Mary Nichols was aware of the discrepancy, but did not tell other members before the vote in December 2008.
The Bee article quoted a note Telles sent to Ellen Peter, the board's chief counsel. "Failure to reveal this information to the board prior to the vote not only casts a doubt upon the legitimacy of the truck rule but also upon the legitimacy of [the California Air Resources Board] itself," he wrote.
Telles is not calling for the rule to be overturned, but believes the board should suspend the regulation until such time that a new set of researchers can review and verify the legitimacy of the findings. Telles himself told the Bee he "doesn't dispute the science" of the report.
I have no reason to doubt whether the rule is needed. But with all the problems in society today regarding the falsification of credentials, from football coaches to executives, the prudent course of action would be for CARB to hire outside experts to review the report to eliminate any possible problems down the road, and from that perspective, Telles is right.

Three months later, the new boiler has burned out. Ut won't re-light at all. The HVAC installer is blaming the carpenters doing the work on my house because of too much dust. He is now seeking money from the general contractor and myself to replace the 3 month old boiler. Shouldn't there be warranties in place and incentives for the HVAC company to reinstall from the manufacturer? Isn't there a small amount of sucking in a boiler does since it is a boiler system and everything radiates out? I see nothing where dust can blow out a boiler, I only see writeups where dust can impede the efficiency. Any advice on this would be very helpful.

What should have been a good week for Barack Obama has turned into one of the worst of his campaign.
Despite winning the Mississippi primary and increasing his lead in convention delegates, he was thrown off stride by dealings with a former fundraiser and inflammatory remarks by his one-time pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that are getting wide play on YouTube and TV including "Not God Bless America. God Damn America."
Watch the story tonight on "World News." Check your local listings for times.
Obama worked hard Friday night on cable television news programs, trying to distance himself from Wright's remarks. On Fox he called them "completely unacceptable and inexcusable."
Today, campaigning in Plainfield, Ind., he said Wright never made incendiary statements in his presence.
"But if all I knew was those statements that I saw on television, I would be shocked," he said.
ABC News political consultant Mark Halperin, also of Time Magazine, said Obama had to go on the offensive, considering how hard his campaign was hit by the negative coverage.
"It was possible that this controversy was going to engulf Obama's candidacy," Halperin said. "He had to speak out after what had been several days of very toxic and very dangerous coverage for his candidacy."
Obama also acknowledged in Chicago newspaper interviews that indicted businessman Tony Rezko raised more money for his past political campaigns than was previously known. Rezko had also advised him on buying a home.
Today on her campaign plane between stops in Pennsylvania Hillary Clinton gave a carefully calibrated response to Obama's problems.
"Well, I think there are a lot of questions and those questions deserve to be answered," she said.
The Obama campaign shot back that "it's the height of hypocrisy for Senator Clinton to demand the release of documents already on our Website while she... refuses to release (many of her) records."
Donna Brazile, a Democratic superdelegate and ABC News political consultant, said Obama was able to turn the attacks into an opportunity to show his mettle as a campaigner
"Sen. Obama has been accused of having a glass jaw. And what he tried to prove this week in responding to allegations about Tony Rezko as well as about the words of Rev. Jeremiah Wright is that he can not only take a punch, but he can give one back."
So, who gains the most from the latest exchange of charges and countercharges?
Quite possibly it is the presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain, who can sit back and watch the two Democrats try to increase each other's negative ratings.

Staten Island, NY – Leaders of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, the nation's largest network of women and men harmed by abortion, today responded to Newsweek writer Anna Quindlen who asked in her latest column how much jail time women should serve if abortion were made illegal.
"To Anna Quindlen and anyone else I would say that women are already serving time for abortion right now in our own prisons," said Georgette Forney, co-founder of SNMAC. "I know this from my own experience and the experiences of countless other women I know. No condescending dismissal of women's torment by abortion ideologues can diminish the daily punishment of guilt, shame, and remorse post-abortive women experience."
"It's not mothers who should serve jail time for abortion," added Janet Morana, also a co-founder of SNMAC. "The abortion profiteers and their shills in the press have been telling society for years that whatever it is that abortion terminates, it's not a baby. This propaganda onslaught has taken its toll in women who believed that lie and who emphatically state today that had they known their child were not just a 'clump of tissue,' as abortionists told them, they would have never aborted. We should not and will not jail women who have been lied to for decades."
Since the launching of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 2,326 women and men have shared their testimonies publicly at 189 gatherings in 44 states and six countries where more than 15,000 spectators have heard the truth about abortion's negative after-effects. More than 4,100 people are registered to be Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope with the pain are two of the Campaign's goals.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Richard Sherman showed up very fashionably late, through a back door, and walked into a battery of cameras and reporters sized for a peace-in-the-Middle-East news conference. His audience so dwarfed the one around the table occupied by Russell Wilson, you would have thought Wilson was Seattle's backup punter, not its starting quarterback.
Sherman slid his headphones off his ears, took his seat, and spent his first night in New Jersey, his first night at the Super Bowl, rightfully reminding the news media that he did his country a favor. By raging against the stereotype of the black athlete, he encouraged a helpful discourse on the language of race in sports. And by informing those who wouldn't guess otherwise that he's really, at heart, a nerd with a Stanford degree, Sherman showed kids in Compton, Calif., and other American cities like it that they should never let anyone hang a low ceiling over their dreams.
"Once the path is blazed," Sherman said, "kids believe they can achieve those goals. They believe they can get out of the city because they've seen it done. They've seen how it can happen. They've seen it happening right before their eyes. It's not a dream. It's not a far-fetched thing for them. It's something that's right there, right in front of them."
It's a great thing, too. You've got to believe that five or 10 years from now, some kid somewhere who had no idea where Richard Sherman came from, or where he went to school, until these past seven days will be inspired by his journey to achieve something he never thought possible.
But back to that conversation on race. Sunday night, after a long week that saw the word "thug" run through more tests than a draft prospect endures at the combine, I asked Sherman if he felt he'd inspired a healthy conversation about the language of white and black in sports.
"I think it did have some effect on opening up the channels of communication and conversation and dialogue," he said, "and I think I had some impact on it, and I want to have a positive impact. I want people to understand that everybody should be judged by their character, and who they are as a person, and not by the color of their skin. I think that's something we've worked to get past as a nation … and we're continuing to work on it.
"It's healthy, everything that happened. All the people who sent the messages, and who tweeted what they tweeted, it ends up turning around to be a positive, because it opens back up the discussion and people begin to get more education. And any time you get more knowledge, you're more powerful as a person."
We should all thank Sherman for that, too, for everything he said and did after he batted away that touchdown pass-to-be to Michael Crabtree, batted it into the hands of a teammate, to beat San Francisco and send the Seahawks to a Super Bowl matchup with Peyton Manning's Broncos. Sherman's rant into Erin Andrews' mike had come in the immediate wake of that spectacular play. Without the benefit of a cooling-off period in the locker room, and without any reason to avoid a Fox reporter who understood the cornerback is everything a TV rights holder wants (smart, quotable, emotional and fearless), Sherman acted no differently than, say, a rock star celebrating a memorable big-stage performance by smashing his guitar.
Sherman ended up smashing Twitter instead, and he was subjected to vile slurs in the process. The worst of the tweets told him, in his words, "that racism is still alive and well," a truth he described as "so sad." Sherman was compelled to say that the word "thug" had become "the accepted way of calling somebody the N-word nowadays," and to wonder aloud how the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames can turn a hockey game into a prison riot without anyone fretting over the potential fall of civilization.
People are paid to punch each other out in the overwhelmingly white NHL, and the fighting is often viewed as part of the sport's fabric. The enforcers are cast as necessary tone-setters, and bodyguards for teammates who actually have a little, you know, skill.
But imagine if a couple of designated fighters were employed by each team in the NBA, where more than three-quarters of the players are black. Imagine the public outcry if NBA "goons" squared off and fired heat-seeking haymakers at each other's heads on a regular basis.
The double standard is there for every sports fan to see. Sherman made people ask themselves, "When's the last time anyone called a white athlete a 'thug'?" And he did something for many viewers who initially figured the self-celebrating cornerback was a thug before learning he was a high school salutatorian who aced Stanford.
He likely made them reconsider their assumptions about the next victorious black athlete they see screaming trash talk into their high-def TVs.
Only here's something Richard Sherman needs to understand: This productive dialogue works both ways, too, as the distinguished sociologist, Dr. Harry Edwards, pointed out Sunday night in a phone interview from his California home. Edwards described Sherman's takedown of Crabtree as "revealing" and "ridiculous."
"What drove Richard Sherman to go on this rant, that's where the discussion should take place," said Edwards, a professor at UC Berkeley. "Telling me there are white people in this country who don't like blacks is like telling me my nose has two holes in it. That's the same old dead end, cul-de-sac, box-canyon conversation.
"Let's broaden the conversation. Here you have in Mr. Sherman a middle-class, bright, academically and professionally accomplished young black man trying to gain street cred. It's not enough to be an outstanding student and defensive back; you've got to somehow meet the measure of black orthodoxy. I watch black students come to Berkeley who are young and bright, and they try to prove they are authentically black."
Reminded that Sherman, the son of a garbage collector and a social worker, had been raised in Compton, Edwards maintained, "In black society, two parents with two jobs, that's middle class."
Back at the Seahawks' Jersey City hotel, Sherman was seeing it a different way. His father had been shot years ago when caught in the middle of gang warfare, and Sherman's best friend in high school had been killed in a shooting.
"I came from a place not a lot of people make it out of," Sherman said, "and I'm just trying to affect the world in a positive way."
He succeeded this week, yes he did. An equal-opportunity antagonist, Sherman has been known to take on all comers from Crabtree to Jim Harbaugh to Tom Brady to Darrelle Revis.
Now he's taking on the division between black and white while willingly absorbing some bumps along the way. In other words, Richard Sherman has put the first points on the Super Bowl board.

The Prospect Hill School was created when the Rev. John Moors mobilized a group of the leading citizens of Greenfield, Massachusetts, to pool their money for the purchase of the estate of Greenfield's former postmaster, D.N. Carpenter. The estate was on several acres of wooded land with a view of the Deerfield Valley and a large mansion. The Prospect Hill School for Girls opened in 1869. At first, the mansion was used for both classrooms and housing, but within a year or two a separate classroom building was constructed. In 1880, it was rechartered as a school directed by the American Unitarian Association. It operated until 1907. In 1930, it merged with the Stoneleigh School, a school that had been in Connorsville, Indiana and later Rye, New Hampshire and the resulting Stoneleigh-Prospect Hill School purchased a one hundred fifty acre tract on the Bernardston Road. In 1969, the school merged with the Mary A. Burnham School of Northampton to create the Stoneleigh-Burnham School. This photograph was taken in the early 1870s.

Senate Passes Measure to Reduce Medicaid Fraud
Expands District Attorneys' Ability to Prosecute Medicaid Provider Waste and Abuse
The New York State Senate today passed a bill that implements a recommendation of the Senate Republican Task Force on Medicaid Fraud and increases the prosecution of Medicaid waste and abuse while also bringing significant savings to the state and counties. Medicaid fraud is a significant cost to the state and this legislation (S.594), sponsored by Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R, Merrick), helps increase cost recoveries by allowing the state's Office of Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) to assist local district attorneys in prosecutions of Medicaid provider fraud.
"Medicaid fraud costs taxpayers billions of dollars every year. At a time when every dollar counts, every available tool must be used to recover funds that are being stolen through fraud. Allowing local district attorneys to receive referrals of suspected Medicaid fraud cases would enable more cases to be prosecuted and save money for taxpayers," said Senator Fuschillo.
"The current Medicaid system does not use our state and local resources efficiently and results in the ongoing loss of funds to fraud and abuse," Senate Majority Leader Dean G. Skelos said. "This bill will help improve our ability to prosecute criminals and increase the amount of money that can be recovered by enabling referrals of cases and important investigative information to local district attorneys so they can be even better partners in the fight against Medicaid fraud."
While Medicaid recipient fraud is currently investigated by the local Department of Social Services and prosecuted by the local district attorney, cases of Medicaid provider fraud must be referred by OMIG to the State Attorney General. The legislation passed today allows OMIG to provide referrals to local district attorneys which then can prosecute provider fraud in exchange for a percentage of the recoveries. This would result in a reduction in the amount of time it takes to prosecute perpetrators, a decrease in the amount of state resources necessary to prosecute cases from Albany, and an increase in recovery amounts to the state.
Medicaid is one the state's largest expenditures -- over $52.8 billion this year – and Medicaid spending accounts for one-third of the entire state budget. A report issued last year by the Senate Republican Task Force on Medicaid Fraud stated that Medicaid fraud accounts for between three and 10 percent of all Medicaid expenses, potentially costing state taxpayers as much as $5 billion each year.
The bill has been sent to the Assembly.

Dyslexia is a disability that likely affects 70 – 80 percent of people with poor reading skills, with one in five students having a language-based disability that could include dyslexia.
Many folks with dyslexia have trouble differentiating between different letters of the alphabet, many of which–especially in digital text form–look very similar. Many of the letters in our alphabet, like 'i' and 'j', or 'n' and 'u' can be mistaken for each other, especially if someone has a visual processing difference and reverses or rotates the letters when reading.

If you enjoyed Lenses Alien's 8 mnute Polvo-meets-shoegaze opener "Rifle Sight (Proper Name)" and the shorter but no less ambitious "Definite Darkness," you definitely want Cymbals Eat Guitars' entire John Agnello-produced sophomore LP when it's out 8/30. Today we're giving away a unique prize package that includes not just the album, but a whole bunch of limited edition swag including a custom guitar pedal.
One of you lucky readers will receive:
- Lenses Alien on four formats: CD, LP, MP3 and FLAC
- Lenses Alien LP test pressing
- Lenses Alien limited-edition cassette
- Limited edition t-shirt
- Two buttons
- A unique (only twenty exist!) guitar pedal created by the band. Info & video below.
The smallsound/bigsound Poly-Grace is a mystery fuzz pedal with highly interactive controls that can create a variety of damaged sounds. Easily achievable "tame" fuzz tones give way to unpredictable sonic behaivior with the flick of a switch or the twist of a knob: heavy psych bass fuzz tones, shoegaze textures, volume swells, octave jumping, weird gurgles and buzzsaw sustain…
For the technically-minded, the Poly-Grace is an interesting pedal; it contains a bypass-able transistor fuzz section, a unique IC fuzz section as the heart of the circuit and a push-pull output stage with selectable voltage – making it a mini-amplifier in itself that will power a speaker! Plug it into a 4 or 8 ohm speaker cab for amplification from speaking to shouting volume suitable for studio recording or just playing at home. The circuit reacts slightly differently whether being used as a speaker driver or as a pedal… so experiment!
Pretty cool. All you have to do to enter is (1) be a fan of Stereogum on Facebook, and (2) comment with your favorite Cymbals Eat Guitars song via Facebook Connect (do not use your 'Gum user account on this post — we'll have to be able to check if you are a fan of Stereogum on FB when the sweepstakes ends). We'll pick a winner from the comments posted here, at random. Deadline to enter is 8/29 at 5:30PM EST. Have your comment logged by then, and you're in.

34 week Preemie mama needs help
My DS2 is 36 hours old. He was born at 34 weeks because I started losing too much blood from placenta previa. He had steroid shots at 31 weeks.
He looked really good after birth, but is getting worse and worse. Started with cpap and air, then 30% oxygen and now 45%. They think he might have caught an infection in his lungs.
I am struggling because I feel so helpless. I am unable to pump more than 4 drops of colostrum each session. Plus they just took him off feedings (iv only). I am just now able to get up and walk and go see him, and I feel out of the loop. He had 2 xrays that I just found out about. He is starting another round of antibiotics. And they are considering draining his lungs. All this while I was in bed.
They dont like when we touch him, we cant hold him. They dont even like when we talk to him. I am his mother and i cant do anything.
Is it normal to feel this way? I had bad ppd with ds1. I am wondering if I shouldnt talk yo my ob?

Re: 34 week Preemie mama needs help
First, hugs to you, it's really hard to have a baby in NICU.
It's normal for them to keep you away, I cried one time when I called down to NICU to go see him and the nurse told me I couldn't come because his heart rate was high. It's awful.
I was only allowed to hold him while he was feeding, once he was on tube feeds.
It's normal to only gets drops of colostrum, I never got more than that, and my supply came in great. Just keep pumping, it'll come in soon.
They may let you do some kangaroo care once he gets healthier, I know my hospital supported it. Talk with the nurses, they know what goes on and can help you understand what to expect as far as policies and procedures. See if you can set up a time to meet with his caregiver, which should be a neonatologist. Knowing who his doctor is and talking with him can help a lot.
The world would be so boring if everyone were the same...

Mama I know how ya feel my lol one was born at 30 weeks. I didn't see her for 5 days. I didn't hold her til she was in the nicu for a month & that was just good timing I came in while they were weighing her & I just stole her. It's super hard but they do it for the baby's safety. At one point I had to be all dressed up in drs gear before I could even stick my finger in the incubator for her to hold. They just don't want no germs in there making the already sensitive baby worse. As your baby starts doing better then it will get better. As for pumping I have no good advice my milk never came in. I know you don't want to hear but I'd go ahead & discuss meds to help it. I took everything made & never got milk in. It killed me I got just enough to make her through her first month in nicu. It's hard all around mama but their is light at the end of the tunnel.

My DS2 was born in December at 35 weeks and 0 days. He did great in the OR and they took him to NICU for CPAP just in case. To make a long story short, he ended up intubated for 3 days. It was awful, especially since he started out so good. We did only end up staying a total of 9 days so he did well after they figured out his lung issues. He had 2 doses of Surfactant. He was born on a Sunday and I didn't get to hold him until Thursday. I also started with just drops of colostrum but my milk came in after a few days. He is EBF now and over 13lbs at 3 months. Many, many hugs mama. The NICU ride is never easy with lots of ups and downs. At his gestation, he hopefully won't be there long.
I'm so tired of hearing about how important a birth is. It is absolutely nothing more than an obstacle between a family and a baby.

Unfortunately, this all sounds familiar to me. Does he have signs of distress when you talk to him or touch him? If not, I would continue to do those things.

Thank you for your stories and support. It really has helped to come back and read them Nd know i am not the only one!
My baby is doing better but it looks like this is going to be a longer stay than I imagined. He is finally eating (and its all my milk finally!) And we can touch and talk to him. Those were happy moments
Thanks again ladies. DS has been a wonderful for my sanity these past few days.

Re: 34 week Preemie mama needs help
May avi pic is my 34 weeker at 3 weeks old. The pumping after my surgery was slow to start too but it picked up by around day 5. So glad to hear that things are getting better. If I could go back and tell myself one thing I would say to take some time to rest and heal myself. I was down at the NICU for almost every feed and by the end of his stay (8 days), I was wiped out.
If you are on facebook there is a site called peek a boo icu that might help you out as you go through this part of your journey.
Congratulations on your new itty bitty!

Hugs, mama! I had my fourth 32 weeker January 23. He started out great compared to my others who were intubated within hours of birth. I was Able to do kangaroo care twice on his second day, Then at two days old collapsed a lung and was intubated and had a chest tube placed. During this time they encouraged us to talk to him and gently touch him. Thankfully he was only intubated for a couple days and then was off everything. Babies can be resilient and turn around quick once they figure out what they're supposed to be doing!

Re: 34 week Preemie mama needs help
Hey mama, NICU time is so rough. Our 29 weeker was there for 72 days. Your feelings are very normal.
Ask to help with his diaper changes and taking his temps and all that kind of stuff they do. They always encouraged us to help out with these things, and it was nice to be able to do something for our little girl. You may not be able to hold or even touch him if he is too fragile, but he does need to be touched for these things so itd be a way to get a little hands on care while not stressing him beyond what is necessary.
If he is strong enough to be touched (honestly they always let us touch our girl no matter how sick she was) wash and then purrell your hands, then wait for the purell to dry so you aren't overwhelming him with fumes. Then just lay your warm hands on him. We usually would put one hand over her belly and one on the top of her head. Preemies are very sensitive to touch and often don't like to be stroked, but this can be comforting. And talking in soft, soothing tones is very good for them as well. He will recognize your voice and find comfort in it. Also, take some of the blankets they will put in his isolette and roll them up and stick them in your shirt for a while. They'll get your scent and that is comforting as well. This was something they asked us to do at our NICU.
Kangaroo care is also very good for baby, if he is strong enough.
And you should be able to call at any hour to know whats going on, even if you can't be there.
And keep pumping even if you're not getting much and he can't eat. That way you keep up your supply for later.
I know this post is a little old and you may already know many of these things now. But just passing it all along in case. Feel free to message me with any questions, I'll help you out all I can as a mama of a NICU graduate!!
I'm Angela- a vegetarian, CD'g, on time vax'g, stay at home mama to our 29 week miracle girl Alessandra 4/24/12! Always missing our angel baby Aubrey 11/'10. Married to my love Matt.

NEW YORK, April 25 (UPI) -- Former NFL running back Herschel Walker said he's still physically fit enough to play in the league at age 52.
"I can play in the NFL today," he told USA Today. "I couldn't take every snap. But running backs nowadays don't play every down. Now they send in the choir section."
"Physically, I can still do it," he added.
Walker played for the Dallas Cowboys before being traded to the Minnesota Vikings in 1989. He started his football career as the star running back for the USFL's New Jersey Generals and won the Heisman Trophy in 1982.

Hi everyone.
It's been a while but hope everyone are keeping well.
I sent off my son's (age 22) pip form back all in good time, it was due back on the 20th October 2017 and as I sent it back by next day delivery, I posted on the 16th and it was delivered by the 17th October, I have proof of the the person who signed etc.
I act as my son's appointee and am his full time carer.
Anyway I sent off all the relevant evidence from his paediatrician and other support letters, also a letter from the family gp who explained that "if invited to a face to face it is highly suggested if they could excuse him" (giving all the reasons why etc. Also provided letters from family and friends who know well of my son.
They have all record of my mobile and home number but despite I am aware they received all the forms and docs, they have not actually sent any confirmation as yet.
Reading on many face book groups many say they get a text within days or a letter but we have not received anything at all as yet and i dont want to be pestering at this point in case they think I'm being inpatient (i am not the best on waiting about though) lol.
Can anyone tell me if we all should receive confirmation or what letters or texts we should be receiving after they receive the form? and how soon after, as i can understand this may also vary but am curious, thank you.
A friend of mine had a text within days of her sending the form to confirm they have the form and that they may need to attend a consultation (face to face, where they will be in touch).
I am getting as anxious as my son lol. He has asperger's syndrome and severe anxiety. He is currently high rate care of DLA and low Rate mobility, and in the support group for ESA.
Thank you for any information you give x x

Fire damages Manchester apartment building
September 30. 2013 10:45PM
MANCHESTER — A Monday afternoon fire damaged a rear apartment of the Boylston Home rooming house at 86 Mammoth Road. The residents, most of them young men, gathered outside the rooming house, which is close to the intersection of Somerville Street and Mammoth Road.
"I was in the shower and all soapy. I heard the alarm and thought somebody probably just burned popcorn," said David Suman. They said the fire started in an apartment that two women recently rented and is in the rear of the building. Passersby corralled two kittens some residents had rescued from the apartment.
Fire officials said the structure is a former orphanage and has about 36 rooms. District Fire Chief Jim Michael was unsure Monday afternoon whether most of the residents would be able to return to their rooms Monday night.

i mean....most "conservatives (which is an identity crisis in itself) claim to be independent, or libertarian, or even possibly green.
After the shellacking the GOP takes on an almost daily basis, do any of you still claim the Republican brand?
Or are most of you voters who always vote republican, but are ashamed to identify with the party?
Just curious...

In 2010, UNICEF and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics launched the Global Out-of-School Children Initiative (OOSCI), an equity-focused effort whose goal is to reduce the number of out-of-school children, to address disparities in access and attendance and achieve universal primary education by 2015. Kyrgyzstan, one of the 26 countries participating in this initiative, recently published a country-level study on out-of-school children. The study describes the situation of out-of-school children in the country, the progress made by the government to get children into school and the challenges ahead.

Randy Moss Earning a New Respect with his Blocking Skills
Randy Moss isn't making as many highlight reels as he used to.
But that doesn't mean he's not making plays.
His 49ers teammates are impressed and amazed by the veteran wide receiver's blocking ability, something that's always been obscured his penchant for big-play catches.
Last week, he had a 47-yard touchdown. But he's had plenty of those. The block he dropped on Cardinals safety Kerry Rhodes which released Michael Crabtree for a 30-yard catch-and-run earned him respect.
"I've never seen him do that before," running back Anthony Dixon said, via Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. "You saw what it did to our sideline. It inspired everybody to see him do that."
Moss has said part of the reason he enjoys being with the 49ers is learning a new way of offense under coordinator Greg Roman.
"He asks the questions on the smallest details, even in the running game, let alone the passing game that it makes you say, 'That's the question that should be asked right now,'" Roman said. "He understands there are a couple different ways to do things. Also, he understands the game well enough, where he says, 'Have you thought about this?'"
Quarterback Alex Smith said Moss's attention to detail is most obvious when they're dissecting the run game on tape, and Roman said his willingness to block and his effectiveness are a big part of the reason they succeed.
"Starting in the Houston the game, in the preseason, Randy was wearing people out, blocking," Roman said.
"And I can't stress enough how professional, how team-oriented Randy Moss is.
"All I can tell you, as a 49er, he's busting tail on everything."
That hasn't always been said about Moss either, but you can't argue that so far, he's a perfect fit with the 49ers.

Competition from Sochi, Russia, begins Thursday, Feb. 6; opening ceremony takes place Friday, Feb. 7
Competition at next year's Olympic Winter Games will begin one day prior to the Opening Ceremony. As a result, NBC will begin its primetime coverage of the 2014 Sochi Olympics on Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014, one night before the broadcast network provides its traditional primetime coverage of the Opening Ceremony on Friday, Feb. 7, 2014. This marks the first time any U.S. media company has dedicated primetime coverage to Olympic competition - winter or summer - prior to the Opening Ceremony. Additional Sochi Olympic programming details will be released later this year.
To celebrate one year out from the first day of competition, NBCUniversal will distribute promotional messages Wednesday across its vast array of assets, which include two broadcast networks, NBC (English) and Telemundo (Spanish); 17 cable channels, including Golf Channel and NBC Sports Network; 10 NBCU-owned stations and 235 NBC affiliates, including their digital assets; the NBC Sports Radio network; the NBC Sports Regional Networks; and more than 40 NBCU websites, including NBCSports.com and NBCOlympics.com.
In addition, numerous NBCU programs across television, radio and the Web will preview the Sochi Olympics with editorial content. Most NBC Sports Regional Networks, NBCU-owned stations and NBC affiliates will be covering the one-year-out occasion as it pertains to their markets.
With 12 new events debuting at next year's Sochi Olympics, including eight in freestyle skiing and snowboarding, the International Olympic Committee constructed a competition schedule that begins on Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014, one day prior to the Opening Ceremony.
Team figure skating and men's and women's slopestyle snowboarding, which are new Olympic events, along with women's freestyle moguls, begin the day before the Opening Ceremony, and will be featured during NBC's primetime coverage on Thursday, Feb. 6.
"Our recent Olympic coverage has clearly demonstrated that the viewer's appetite for Olympic content continues to grow," said Mark Lazarus, chairman of NBC Sports Group. "Due to the new events, it's our pleasure to provide an 18th night of primetime coverage, a first in Olympic history that will benefit viewers, advertisers, affiliates and all of our Olympic constituents."
One-Year-Out Marketing
NBCU will again celebrate one year out from the Games with a robust promotional plan, including a primetime roadblock. At 8 p.m. Wednesday, nearly all of NBCU's 19 broadcast and cable networks will air a 60-second promo for the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games. It will also air at 8 p.m. across 33 non-NBCU cable channels via Comcast Spotlight, the ad sales division of Comcast Cable that reaches nearly 80 markets and more than 33 million homes. More than 40 NBCU websites will feature banner and still ads, and all will link to the Olympic promo. The 60-second spot recalls the magical feelings of the London Olympics and looks forward to the anticipated excitement of Sochi.
"Our primetime roadblock is emblematic of our ability to utilize the scale of NBCU to market the Olympic Games to great effect," said John Miller, CMO of NBC Sports Group. "Our one-year-out campaign begins what will be the largest marketing effort ever by NBCU for an Olympic Winter Games. The eight-tier marketing plan we employ has been honed over the past 20-plus years. When finished, it will reach every American several times over. And it officially begins (today), one year out from the first day of competition."
The 19 NBCU networks airing the promo either at 8 p.m. ET/PT, as part of the roadblock, or at another time within the 8-9 p.m. ET/PT hour are: NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, Chiller, Cloo, CNBC, E!, G4, Golf Channel, MSNBC, mun2, NBC Sports Network, Oxygen, Sprout, Style, Syfy, The Weather Channel, Universal HD, and USA.
In addition to the roadblock, one-year-out marketing efforts will include: coordination with all NBCU social media assets; banner ads for NBCU websites; distribution of the promotional spot and digital banner ads to 10 NBCU-owned stations, 235 NBC affiliates and the NBC Sports Regional Networks; and a significant presence at the NBC Experience Store in Rockefeller Center.

Infertility down slightly among married US women
ATLANTA (AP) — American couples are not as infertile as it might seem.
Despite a boom in fertility treatments, a new government study shows the percentage of married couples having trouble conceiving has actually dropped slightly.
About 6 percent of married women fail to get pregnant after at least a year of sex without contraception. That's down from less than 9 percent some three decades ago.
That may seem surprising given how many women seek help to get pregnant. The use of fertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization, has doubled in the last decade. But that increase is driven by larger numbers of women trying to have children in their 30s and 40s, when fertility declines.
The report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was released Wednesday.

One day after the controversial out-of-bounds play call that helped the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Clippers and take a 3-2 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series, a call that made Doc Rivers visibly upset, L.A.'s coach took center stage with the media, holding a piece of paper.
"I have a statement to make," Rivers said, tucking the paper into his pocket.
Cue laughter.
It was a stark contrast to the Clippers' post-game press conference Tuesday night, when an angry Rivers talked about the play in which the Thunder's Reggie Jackson was met by the Clippers' Matt Barnes on a drive to the basket. Replays appeared to show Barnes touching the ball, knocking it out of bounds, but off Jackson. After review, the referees kept the call that gave the ball to Oklahoma City.
"I better be (in a better mood), otherwise I'd feel bad," said Rivers. "I was very upset last night and rightly so. But you have to move on, and that's what I told our guys."
Rivers said he has talked with the NBA about the call, but provided no more information, calling the situation private. Rivers also said he and the Clippers organization would not file a formal protest.
"I don't ever do that. I've never filed a protest in my life because I don't know what you are going to get," said Rivers with a small laugh. "In Boston, a couple of times they wanted me to do that, I said, 'No thank you, I'll pass on that.'"
Rivers said the call on one play should not have determined the outcome of the game, in which the Clippers held a late double-digit lead. The Clippers put themselves in that position with mistakes and defensive lapses down the stretch.
"It happened," said Rivers, "and we move on."
Support for Paul
Point guard Chris Paul had a rough stretch of play in the waning moments of the Clippers' collapse in Game 5.
Paul turned the ball over with 17.8 seconds left, leading to the controversial out-of-bounds call with 11.6 seconds. After the Thunder kept possession, Paul fouled Russell Westbrook at the 3-point line with 6.4 seconds left. Westbrook sunk all three free throws for the 105-104 Thunder lead.
Paul tried to manuever for the final shot, but lost the ball in the paint to end the game. After the loss, Paul called it the "toughest thing" he has gone through basketball-wise.
"Everything that happened there at the end is on me," Paul said Tuesday night. "It was just bad basketball."
On Wednesday, Rivers came to the defense of Paul, saying the whole team played a role in the loss, a collapse over four minutes of play, not 30 seconds.
"This is a team game, it's not an individual game," Rivers said. "We all played a part in the loss last night. I hate when he or any single player starts thinking it was on him. It was not.
"We made mistakes throughout the game, but those are the ones that will be focused on, unfortunately, for him."
Blake Griffin also came to Paul's defense.
"Jamal Crawford and I stopped to talk to him on the bus before we got on the plane," Griffin said. "I told him that game is not on one guy, it's not on him. We made plenty of mistake down the stretch. That idea that it's on him, I understand what he is saying, but it's not on him by any means."
Emotional rebounding
Like in their first-round series against the Golden State Warriors that went to a nail-biting Game 7, a series overtaken by the Donald Sterling scandal, the Clippers again find themselves with their backs to the wall after an emotional Game 5 collapse.
The team hopes that coming back from the controversy in the first round can help them against the Thunder.
"I don't know if it helps or not, honestly," Rivers said. "I just know that if you are trying to win it, it's hard. There is a lot of tests. You don't win it easy. You might win a game, but we are trying to do something special and be something special."
"I think we've done a pretty good job this season and postseason of putting things in the past and just moving forward," said Griffin. "There are not many times where you've heard this team say that we feel sorry for ourselves … guys understand that we can't use that as a crutch."
