POPSOne Punk Under God or The 'Prize' of Tammy Faye Tammy Faye has become a "gay icon" and is battling lung and colon cancer. Her son, Jay Bakker, recently attended the premiere of "One Punk Under God" a documentary that will air on the Sundance Channel in November. Bakker is also pastoring Revolution an "alternative" church which embraces the gay community and holds services in a bar in Williamsburg Brooklyn. The same production team that filmed the award winning movie, "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" are producing this television documentary. A Page Six article In today's New York Post (10/22/06) covered this under the headline, "PRAY FOR TAMMY." Tammy was a part of the reality show "The Surreal Life" where she maintained her Christian witness while also gaining the respect of housemates like porn star Ron Jeremy. Tammy makes it clear that she cherishes her children, hence the play on words in the title of this clip.

POPSOddity in Picking Jurors Opens Door to Racial Bias According to a 2003 report of the Louisiana Crisis Assistance Center, which studied 390 felony jury trials in the parish from 1994 to 2002, the district attorney’s office used peremptory strikes to remove eligible black jurors three times as often as white ones. In the two decades since Batson, there have been 20 murder trials in Jefferson Parish that ended in death sentences. Information about the race of the jurors is available in 18 of them. Because the parish is 23 percent black, according to the 2000 census, you might expect to see about 3 black jurors on each 12-member panel. But of the 18 juries, 10 had no black members. Seven had one. One had two. None had three.

POPSCrustacean "Swarm" Destroying Small Hiroshima Island The island's soft rock, a material called tuff that is primarily composed of densely compacted volcanic ash, is an ideal habitat for the booming population of nanatsuba-kotsubumushi Through normal weathering, it would usually take thousands of years for the elements to reduce an island the size of Hoboro to debris But some experts have estimated that, at the current rate, the island may be gone within a century Hoboro appears to be something of a geological oddity, with no other islands in the immediate area made of the same material. Although he prefers not to put a time scale on the island's destruction, Okimura added that it's unclear where the burrowing creatures will go when Hoboro does ultimately disappear beneath the waves
