Look for these new items on your grocery store shelves. Super Bowl fuel Fisher's honey-cinnamon almonds are chubby nuts generously coated in an addictive sweet mixture. They'll make a nice addition to Super Bowl spreads. A 9-ounce can costs $5.50 at various grocers. Portion control The latest item in 100-calorie packaging is three kinds of 100-calorie chocolate bars from Hershey: wafer bars, pretzel bars and dark chocolate bars. The box of seven individually wrapped treats costs $2.78. Spicy-sweet start We liked the spicy sweetness of Post Honey Bunches of Oats with Cinnamon Clusters. Each 3/4-cup serving supplies 2 grams of fiber and 9 grams of whole grains, with 120 calories and 6 grams sugar. Each 14.5-ounce box costs $3.40 to $4 at various grocers. Isn't this Special? Kellogg's Special K20 "protein water" is a 16-ounce bottle (a quantity that is normally listed as two servings, not one) that provides 5 grams of protein and 10 percent of daily calcium (from milk products whey protein isolate and calcium lactate) - as well as 8 grams of sugar, two artificial sweeteners and 30 milligrams of sodium. At one discount supermarket, a four-pack (lemon twist, strawberry-kiwi or tropical blend) was $5.99. Not whole flavor First there was Sara Lee's Soft & Smooth Made With Whole Grain White bread, which contains whole grain and refined flours and tastes like white bread. Now Sara Lee has introduced an all-whole-wheat bread aimed at white bread purists. The new loaf indeed tastes as bland as white bread, but each slice supplies 2 grams of fiber and 14 grams of whole grains, nearly 30 percent of a day's recommended amount. A loaf is about $2.70. Information from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Chicago Tribune and McClatchy-Tribune Newspapers was used in this report. Cooking on TV Pairings with Andrea Master sommelier Andrea Robinson provides tasty recipe ideas and the wine to go with them. On this week's program, she'll feature juicy Wasabi Pea-Crusted Chicken Breasts and Oysters "Rockefeller Center," plus a vegetarian dish inspired by her son: Sesame Broccoli Florets. 4:30 p.m. Thursday on the Fine Living channel.

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
