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.

Homer is tapped to choreograph the Super Bowl halftime show on The Simpsons, which airs just after the game. And if that’s Sapp, he must be on a diet.

So with a toned-down show and even the overly hyped ads expected to be G-rated this year, what else is on?
There's always the Lingerie Bowl. The pay-per-view game this year throws in a performance by the rapper Chingy in addition to the scantily clad models. It if makes you feel better, they say they will donate a portion of the proceeds to tsunami relief efforts.
And if an ex-Beatle is too dirty for you, Christian broadcasters are planning an alternative Super Bowl halftime show.
On the other end of the spectrum, there's the Girls Gone Wild Halftime Games, a pay-per-view event that will pit women against each other "in a series of physically challenging, nudity-inducing outdoor games."
MTV, the network that produced the infamous Janet Jackson show last year, will offer its own alternative halftime. Both MTV and MTV2 will air a preview special of a revamped MTV2, featuring a combination of music, shows and "random content aimed at young males."
Bravo is running a marathon of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the Style Network has a Martha Stewart Living marathon and the Animal Planet kicks off The Puppy Bowl starting at 3 p.m. where you can watch a cute cast of puppies romp around a mini stadium. You can even vote online for MVP.
After the game, there will be a Super Bowl-themed Simpsons, with several football stars as guests, including cartoonishly strong ex-Buc Warren Sapp, who is now a defender for the Oakland Raiders. He told Zap2it.com he was a bit concerned about his animated depiction.
"I don't want to be big with a little shirt!" he told them. "Cover me up a little bit! I love The Simpsons , so whatever I am, I am."
