SUNSET BOULEVARD Billy Wilderâs classic tale of Hollywood misfortune and swimming pools is where Gumbo has us this week. Once again weâre challenging each other to hop on our â10â train as we Queue up movies we deem to be utterly fantastic!
Hereâs what you haveâ¦In Hollywood of the 50âs, the obscure screenplay writer Joe Gillis (William Holden) is not able to sell his work to the studios, is full of debts and is thinking in returning to his hometown to work in an office. While trying to escape from his creditors, he has a flat tire and parks his car in front of a crumbling decadent mansion on Sunset Boulevard, owned by former silent-movie star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson), who lives alone with her butler Max. Norma is demented, and believes she will return to the cinema industry and escape the isolated world she has built for herself. Norma proposes Joe to move to the mansion and help her in writing a screenplay that will propel her inevitable comeback â but as things settle in, the small time writer find himself the eye of her affection, and when he falls in love for the young aspirant writer Betty Schaefer, Norma becomes jealous and completely insane â which leads to her madness as well as a tragic end. Listen to find out whether or not we follow suit on Gumboâs â10â⦠That and our âTop 3 Movie Butlersâ

Canadian Mining Industry Abuses in Guatemala. And How Indigenous Communities are Fighting Back
May 29, 2015, 4:56 p.m.
Canadian Mining companies have been implicated in numerous human rights abuses and violence against communities in Guatemala. There is very little awareness of these injustices among the Canadian public.
This week's Global Research features an extensive examination of these activities and of the efforts to resist them.
We'll hear first from an Indigenous Land defender named Anna Guadalupe Matzir Miculax and a Kairos representative named Rachel Warden with whom she is allied and will function as her translator.
In the second half hour, the Latin America Program Coordinator for MiningWatch Canada, Jen Moore helps contextualize the Canadian mining sector's abusive practices.
Is Organic Food Marketing Hype? - A Debate
May 29, 2015, 2:50 p.m.
The European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification based on government-defined standards to market food as organic within their borders. Although sales of organic food increased greatly over the last decade, organics are still a tiny fraction of the food Americans eat.
Processed organic food usually contains only organic ingredients. If non-organic ingredients are present, at least a certain percentage of the food's total plant and animal ingredients must be organic (95% in the United States, Canada, and Australia). Foods claiming to be organic must be free of artificial food additives, and are often processed with fewer artificial methods, materials and conditions, such as chemical ripening, food irradiation, and genetically modified ingredients. Pesticides are allowed as long as they are not synthetic. However, under U.S. federal organic standards, if pests and weeds are not controllable through management practices, nor via organic pesticides and herbicides, "a substance included on the National List of synthetic substances allowed for use in organic crop production may be applied to prevent, suppress, or control pests, weeds, or diseases."
Are organics worth the extra costs? Or does organic grossly overstating the health benefits?
For the motion that organic food is marketing hype:
Dennis Avery, Director of the Hudson Instituteâs Center for Global Food Issues and
Blake Hurst, Freelance Writer for Wall Street Journal, Wilson Quarterly, and the American and
John Krebs, Principal of Jesus College, Oxford.
Against the motion that organic food is marketing hype:
Charles Benbrook, Chief Scientist of The Organic Center and
Urvashi Rangan, Director of Technical Policy for Consumers Union and
Jeffrey Steingarten, Food Critic for Vogue Magazine.
The moderator is John Donvan, author and correspondent for ABC News.

Honeybee Collapse linked to New Insecticides
Honeybees are essential pollinators for fruits and vegetables. No bee species existed in the New World during human times before the introduction of bees by Europeans. In early 2007, abnormally high die-offs (30â70% of hives) of European honey bee colonies occurred in North America and such a decline seems unprecedented in recent history. Harvard School of Public Scientist Alex Lu tells Steve Curwood about new research connects the collapse to the recent introduction of a new type of pesticide, neonicotinoids.

Water Conservation Technologies
Turn on the faucet, and water pours out. Pull out the drain plug, and the dirty water disappears. Most of us give little thought to the hidden systems that bring us water and take it away when weâre done with it. But these underappreciated marvels of engineering face an array of challenges that cannot be solved without a fundamental change to our relationship with water.
Increasing population density and changing climate stress our citiesâ water supply. UC Berkeley professor David Sedlak discusses future water infrastructure with Steve Curwood.

#378 -- Renegades (Part 2) (R)
May 29, 2015, 7:02 a.m.
Part 2 focuses on sex and women's rights. Many rights and freedoms enjoyed today by U.S. women (and their male friends) were won for them--not by feminists--but by 19th & early-20th century prostitutes & madams. These include the right to own property; to acquire wealth; to dance, smoke, and drink in public; to wear attractive clothing; to give or receive oral sex; to have interracial intimacy; and to use contraceptives.
A rollicking good story, well-told by Thaddeus Russell.
