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.

Condoms remain the only method of family planning and pregnancy prevention that can help prevent sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, which causes AIDS, according to Consumer Reports: Comprehensive Guide to Contraception .
Consumer Reports rates 23 kinds of latex condoms, discusses the latest developments in pregnancy prevention and presents the facts on the effectiveness and risks of each option. An easy-to-follow chart compares and contrasts 17 contraceptive choices. Some of the guide's main findings:
All passed: All tested latex condoms met or exceeded the minimum industry standard air-burst test requirement.
The best: Consumer Reports recommends choosing from among the highest-rated condoms, using price or performance as a guide. The highest-rated models are: Durex Extra Sensitive Lubricated Latex; Durex Performax Lubricated; Lifestyles Classic Collection Ultra Sensitive Lubricated; TheyFit Lubricated; Trojan Extended Pleasure Climax Control Lubricant; Trojan Non-Lubricated; and Trojan Ultra Pleasure Spermicidal Lubricant.
Ones to avoid: The report found two kinds users should avoid -- Planned Parenthood's Assorted Colors and Honeydew models, which scored lowest in the ratings. However, another Planned Parenthood product, Lollipop, is a better choice and rated excellent overall in CR's tests.
Online: The free guide is available online at the health and fitness section at www.ConsumerReports.org .
Refresh your smell: Joining the crowded shelf of deodorants and antiperspirants is a new stink-free solution called Body Mint. Made with green plant extracts, the twice-a-day pill is said to alleviate unpleasant body odors, including bad breath and foot odor. The creators of Body Mint warn that it is not made to replace your normal hygiene routine, but to supplement and enhance it. Body Mint sells for $18.99 for a 30-day supply at www.bodymint.com .
