Last mission to repair the Hubble telescope
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.

Chances are you've seen a black and white landscape photo by Ansel Adams, because his work is that iconic. Now you can see some of those famous images up close because the great landscape artist is the subject of an exhibition at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, 5401 Bay Shore Road, Sarasota. It opens Saturday (1/29) and continues through April 10.
The collection of 150 prints comes from the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and spans Adams' career, the 1920s through the 1960s. Some of the works are rare and infrequently seen -- a portfolio printed on parchment paper from 1927, for example -- but most are the beloved images he made of the American West.
Also on view is another master of landscape photography, Florida's own Clyde Butcher, who has waded into the Everglades for decades to record its wild beauty.
Museum hours: 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. daily; (941) 359-5700. $15 adults; $12 seniors; free for ages 12 and younger, Florida students and teachers.
