BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Do farmers from 50 developed and developing countries have enough in common to form one farm organization that can influence the United Nations and other international institutions?
Given some of the fights among farming interests in the World Trade Organization over subsidies and tariffs, the answer would appear to be no.
But Robert Carlson, a former North Dakota Farmers Union president, concluded in 2010 that such an organization was needed to get the world's attention on the farmer's view of climate change and other issues. He convinced the National Farmers Union; COPA-COGECA, the largest European farm and co-op organization; Ja Zenchu, the lead Japanese farm group; and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture to provide initial financing to establish the World Farmers' Organization in Rome, where the U.N. food agencies are located.
The first farm groups and co-ops to join were from the developed countries, but Carlson, who was elected the first president, and other organizers reached out to Latin America, Africa, and Asia. WFO now has a membership of 70 farm groups and co-ops from 50 countries, including Cambodia and Zambia, and an annual budget of more than $1 million.
Last week the fruits of Carlson's efforts were on display when more than 300 farm leaders from all over the world came to Buenos Aires for the World Farmers' Organization's fourth general assembly.
"We have to speak for ourselves," Carlson said in his farewell speech as president. There are too many other groups that don't know much about agriculture but want to influence policy, he added.
Big, industrial-scale farmers and small farmers from poor countries have shown at WFO's meeting that they have more in common than expected, Carlson said in an interview.
The assembly was held at La Rural, the headquarters of the Sociedad Rural Argentina, which represents some of the largest farmers and ranchers in the world.
"Farmers from these very large estates in Argentina mix and visit with small holders, asking, 'How are your animals?' " Carlson noted. "They get along very cordially. There is a bond there."
And, he added, they also talk about the problems producers of primary agricultural products such as grain and meat face in getting their governments and international organizations to pay attention to their views.
WFO's first objective — to get a stronger farm voice on climate change in the negotiations over the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change — has proven elusive. The United Nations has declined to establish a working group on agriculture, Carlson said, because "civil-society groups, particularly the big environmental groups, don't want agriculture to be included. They view us as a big polluter."
That is wrong, Carlson said, because agriculture is one of the first industries to feel the impact of climate change and can also be one of the industries that can help reduce carbon emissions.
Carlson has also pushed for farm representation on the U.N. Committee on Global Food Security, which makes recommendations on food security and nutrition policy, but so far has been turned down even though the committee has representatives of U.N. agencies, civil society, international agricultural research institutions, global financial institutions, and the private sector.
Carlson acknowledged he is frustrated in dealing with the United Nations. "Things grind on and on," he said. "And it's frustrating that some activist groups can get the ear of the U.N. more easily."
WFO won't give up its campaign to get farmer seats at the U.N. table, Carlson said. "I don't think it will be speedy but it will be inexorable if we continue to press," he told the assembly.
WFO's biggest accomplishments, he said, have come from working with other international institutions and on its own.
Carlson is particularly proud that WFO managed to come up with a position on international trade that almost all its member organizations could support even though they range from Argentine and Australian free-market-oriented farm groups to protectionist countries that import a lot of food, such as Japan and Norway.
The key, he said, was a section that says it is the right of any country to adopt policies to secure its own food supply, but that those countries should not export into the world market. WTO leaders, who have struggled with agriculture issues for years, were so impressed with the display of unity that they invited the farmers to come to Geneva to present their policy.
Carlson is also proud that the WFO is working with the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law to develop a model law for the contracts that farmers reach with buyers to provide certain products such as poultry.
WFO has taken no position on genetic modification of seeds. "We have very opposing views on GMOs," Carlson said. "The debate is still more emotional than it is scientific. I don't mind disagreement about GMOS but we should learn about GMOs before we engage in the debate."
One disappointment to Carlson has been that the American Farm Bureau Federation, the largest U.S. farm group, has so far declined to join WFO. National Farmers Union members are Democratic-leaning and Farm Bureau members are Republican-leaning, but Carlson said he would welcome Farm Bureau in the WFO.
"I miss the Farm Bureau," Carlson said. A Farm Bureau spokesman said Farm Bureau's international activities are focused on the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations.
Carlson noted that in some countries WFO has multiple members who represent different ideologies. WFO would also welcome U.S. commodity groups but only as associate members, Carlson said, because full memberships belong only to general farm groups and farmer-led co-operatives.
Carlson did not run for reelection, and the assembly elected Peter Kendall, the former president of the National Farmers Union in the United Kingdom, as its new president.
Carlson sees a bright future for WFO because he sees more commonality among farmers in developed and developing countries in the coming years.
"All the members we have are farmers who want to be more successful," he said. "I have never met a farmer who wants to remain a subsistence farmer. They all want to improve their lot, to get health care and education for their kids."
But the most important reason for more unity among farmers in the future, he said, is that the increasing demand for food as developing countries get richer is reducing the fear of competition.
"The trade wars that pitted farmers against farmers were in the era of big agricultural surpluses," Carlson said. "All our studies show we are going to need a lot more food to feed the world."

Foreign Policy takes a look at the future of mining the estimated "100,000 near-Earth objects—including asteroids and comets—in the neighborhood of our planet. Some of these NEOs, as they're called, are small. Others are substantial and potentially packed full of water and various important minerals, such as nickel, cobalt, and iron. One day, advocates believe, those objects will be tapped by variations on the equipment used in the coal mines of Kentucky or in the diamond mines of Africa. And for immense gain: According to industry experts, the contents of a single asteroid could be worth trillions of dollars." But the technology to get us there is only the first step. Experts say "a multinational body might emerge" to manage rights to NEOs, as well as a body of law, including an international court.
Not to be outdone by Jeffrey Goldberg's recent piece in The Atlantic about President Obama's foreign policy, the New York Times Magazine checks in with a longread on the president's economic legacy. In it, Obama is cognizant that the economic reality--73 straight months of growth--isn't matched by public perceptions. Some of that, he says, is due to a constant drumbeat from the right that "that denies any progress." But he also accepts some blame himself. "I mean, the truth of the matter is that if we had been able to more effectively communicate all the steps we had taken to the swing voter," he said, "then we might have maintained a majority in the House or the Senate."
Ronald Reagan's children and political allies took to the media and Twitter this week to chide funnyman Will Ferrell for his plans to play a dementia-addled Reagan in his second term in a new comedy entitled Reagan. In an open letter, Reagan's daughter Patti Davis tells Ferrell, who's also a producer on the movie, "Perhaps for your comedy you would like to visit some dementia facilities. I have—I didn't find anything comedic there, and my hope would be that if you're a decent human being, you wouldn't either." Michael Reagan, the president's son, tweeted, "What an Outrag....Alzheimers is not joke...It kills..You should be ashamed all of you." And former Rep. Joe Walsh called it an example of "Hollywood taking a shot at conservatives again."
In a sign that she's ready to put a longer-than-expected primary battle behind her, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) is no longer going on the air in upcoming primary states. "Team Clinton hasn't spent a single cent in … California, Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon and West Virginia, while" Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) "campaign has spent a little more than $1 million in those same states." Meanwhile, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Sanders' "lone backer in the Senate, said the candidate should end his presidential campaign if he's losing to Hillary Clinton after the primary season concludes in June, breaking sharply with the candidate who is vowing to take his insurgent bid to the party convention in Philadelphia."

"Meet Down-to-Earth yet downright rich Dana !" Top 5 Page for this destination Dana Point by marinarena
Dana Point Travel Guide: 45 reviews and 132 photos
Here is the story about Dana. She is a quiet, little sandy one, similarly sandy and quiet like her neighbor, San Clemente, but even more so. Dana is quite young, almost like a brand new baby compared to other cities of southern California. She was born only in 1989!
Here are some traits of the city:
---she is a bit unassuming in that she does not draw much attention to itself in general. Yet, she does still realize that many are attracted to her because of her stretches of beautiful coastline and luxurious accommodations at the highly regarded Ritz-Carlton hotel where she entertains many fortunate guests throughout the year.
---she soothes well in that she offers many lovely spas.
On Dana, there is more to tell but...
oh, I need to gather more thoughts and make more trips!
Dana is SUPER FRIENDLY. About EVERYTIME I go to Dana, people on the street say "hello". Though quite well-to-do, local folk don't come off as snobbish here. People are just happy and welcoming, open to sharing their piece of California paradise.
- Pros:is very quiet and peaceful, conveniently located between L.A. and San Diego, has lovely looking coasts, offers luxury (of salons,hotels,etc)
- Cons:can have poor water conditions at beach
- In a nutshell:See a beautiful and lesser known beach town of California

Assassin's Creed 3 was one of the first games confirmed for the Wii U, and what we've see so far has been excellent. However, according to Assassin's Creed 3 game designer Steven Masters, the Wii U version will be missing some technical features that are available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Because the developer didn't have enough time to properly port Assassin's Creed 3 Wii U to Nintendo's new console, the game won't include some of the lighting and particle effects present in other versions. This isn't the first time we've heard a Wii U game missing key features due to development time constraints: Madden NFL 13 on the Wii U won't feature the new physics engine nor some of the online game modes.
Assassin's Creed 3 was playable at GamesCom both on the PS3 and Wii U, and those who played both versions reportedly saw clear advantages on the PS3 version. However, Masters says that the Wii U version is "99% identical" to the other consoles. We've previously heard hints that the game would support 1080p on the Wii U, but that's now looking unlikely. For more on the visuals in Assassin's Creed 3, check out the latest screenshots from the game.
Assassin's Creed 3 is one of five Ubisoft Wii U launch titles.

Greece: The potato revolt
- Written by Craig Wherlock
- Published in Latest News
Greece's potato revolt reaches Thessaloniki as farmers bypass the supermarkets and sell direct to the public
With incomes plummeting and retail prices rising the idea for farmers to sell their produce directly to the Greek public has proved to be an unexpected success.
Producers from the northern region of Nevrokopi sold 35 tonnes to city dwellers eager to buy potatoes at less than a third of the supermarket prices.
For the farmers it is a chance to sell potatoes at a reasonable price rather than be forced to accept merchants's offers than did not even cover the cost of production.
In the wake of the successful experiment other producers of fruit, vegetables and dairy products are considering following the potato farmers lead.

IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/27/14 -- RealtyTrac® (www.realtytrac.com), the nation's leading source for comprehensive housing data, today released its February 2014 Residential & Foreclosure Sales Report, which shows that U.S. residential properties, including single family homes, condominiums and townhomes, sold at an estimated annual pace of 5,083,241 in February, a 0.2 percent decrease from the previous month but still up 7 percent from a year ago. February marked the fourth consecutive month where sales activity has decreased on a monthly basis.
The decrease in sales volume nationwide was driven by monthly decreases in 31 states. Meanwhile sales volume decreased on a year-over-year basis in six states, including Massachusetts, California, Arizona and Nevada, and 21 of the nation's 50 largest metro areas, including seven California markets along with Phoenix, Orlando, Las Vegas and Detroit, among others.
"Supply and demand have reached a bit of a standoff in this uneven real estate recovery," said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. "The supply of distressed properties -- which buyers and investors have come to rely on over the past few years -- is evaporating quickly in most markets, but that dwindling supply is not being adequately replenished by non-distressed homeowners listing their homes or by new homes being built. Meanwhile, a key source of demand over the past two years -- institutional investors purchasing single family homes as rentals -- is starting to decline, and it's not yet clear if that diminishing demand will be filled by first-time homebuyers and move-up buyers."
"While the Denver and Front Range markets are busy and robust, the historically low inventory is keeping the market from returning to normal," said Chad Ochsner, owner/broker of RE/MAX Alliance, covering the Denver, Colo. market. "Homeowners who are ready to sell their homes may not able to find replacement homes due to low inventory levels, causing them to either not sell or to sell and then rent, which is slowing the pace of the market."
The national median sales price of U.S. residential properties -- including both distressed and non-distressed sales -- was $164,667 in February, down 1 percent from the previous month but up 4 percent from February 2013. February marked the 20th consecutive month where the U.S. median price increased or stayed flat annually, but it was the second consecutive month with a monthly decrease.
"Tennessee's overall housing market is quite positive. Home sale prices in the Nashville-Murfreesboro MSA have increased for the past 12 consecutive months, while the number of distressed home sales continues to decrease," said Bob Parks, CEO of Bob Parks Realty, covering the Middle Tennessee market. "Housing inventory levels are still lower than normal, but we are looking forward to a much more robust spring market."
"During the month of February, Ohio noted a slight decrease in sales compared to the previous year. Much of the decrease appears to be weather related, as many consumers delayed listing their homes and refrained from viewing available inventory due to below-normal temperatures," said Michael Mahon, executive vice president of HER Realtors, covering the Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton, Ohio markets. "As the March temperatures have warmed, so too has the Ohio real estate activity. Increased multiple-offer situations, as well as increased open house traffic, are indicators that March and April will likely be the benefactors of pent-up consumer demand, due to the frigid temperatures experienced during the first quarter of 2014."
Distressed sales and short sales account for 17 percent of all sales in February
Short sales and distressed sales -- in foreclosure or bank-owned -- accounted for 16.9 percent of all U.S. sales in February, up from 16.1 percent of sales in January but down from 19.1 percent of sales in February 2013. The median price of distressed properties -- in foreclosure or bank-owned -- was $96,606 in February, 44 percent below the median price of non-distressed properties: $172,339.
Short sales nationwide accounted for 5.7 percent of all sales, up from 5.5 percent in January but down from 6.9 percent a year ago. Metro areas with the highest percentage of short sales included Las Vegas (17.0 percent), Orlando (16.8 percent), Tampa (14.9 percent), Memphis (14.5 percent), and Miami (12.3 percent). The percentage of short sales decreased from a year ago in all of these metros.
"The last half of 2013 did not have nearly as much buyer demand as we've been seeing so far in the first half of 2014," said Craig King, COO of Chase International, covering the Lake Tahoe and Reno markets. "Last year distressed property sales mostly disappeared from our marketplace. This year we are finding that agents who have historically handled the largest numbers of short sales are reporting that they have moved away from short sales because there just aren't that many in our area."
Sales of bank-owned properties nationwide accounted for 9.7 percent of sales, up from 9.3 percent in January but down from 11.1 percent a year ago. Metro areas with the highest percentage of bank-owned sales in February included Cleveland (29.8 percent), Stockton, Calif. (25.5 percent), Las Vegas (25.4 percent), Detroit (23.0 percent), and Jacksonville, Fla. (21.1 percent).
"Bank-owned property sales in Salt Lake County accounted for 3.6 percent of homes sold and accounted for less than 1.5 percent of homes sold in the Park City resort areas of Summit County," said Steve Roney, CEO of Prudential Utah Real Estate, covering the Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah markets.
Sales at the public foreclosure auction accounted for1.5 percent of all sales nationwide in February, up from 1.3 percent in January and up from 1.1 percent in February 2013.
- 97 percent of all sales at the foreclosure auction were all-cash
- 35 percent of all sales at the foreclosure auction were to institutional investors
- 81 percent of all properties sold at the foreclosure auction sold for $200,000 or less
Metro areas with the highest percentage of foreclosure auction sales in February included Lakeland, Fla., (6.9 percent), Columbus, Ohio (5.4 percent), Charlotte, N.C. (4.7 percent), Miami (4.7 percent), and Las Vegas (4.6 percent).
Institutional investor share down nationwide, up mostly in South, Midwest
Institutional investors -- entities that have purchased at least 10 properties in a calendar year -- accounted for 5.9 percent of all U.S. residential property sales in February, up from a revised 5.0 percent of sales in January but down from 7.2 percent of sales in February 2013. February was the third consecutive month where the institutional investor share of sales declined on a year-over-year basis after 19 consecutive months of year-over-year increases.
- 91 percent of all institutional investor purchases in February were all-cash
- 17 percent of all institutional investor purchases were properties in foreclosure or bank-owned
- 81 percent of all institutional investor purchases were properties priced $200,000 or lower
- 63 percent of all institutional investor purchases were properties with between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet
- 55 percent of all institutional investor purchases were properties built in 1990 or later
Among metropolitan statistical areas with a population of 500,000 or more, cities with the highest share of institutional investor purchases in February were Atlanta (25.2 percent), Columbus, Ohio, (21.4 percent), Knoxville, Tenn., (18.2 percent), Phoenix (15.2 percent), and Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla. (14.8 percent).
"Since Fannie Mae inventory is mostly comprised of completed home foreclosures with FHA loans, investors target these properties because they tend to be smaller homes that make for better rental property investments," said Sheldon Detrick, CEO of Prudential Detrick/Alliance Realty, covering the Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla., where the institutional investor share of purchases dropped from a year ago. "There is very little Fannie Mae inventory left, which coincides with the fact that institutional investors have slowly backed out of the market."
Metros with the biggest year-over-year increases in institutional investor share were Knoxville, Tenn., (from 3.3 percent in February 2013 to 18.2 percent in February 2014), Little Rock, Ark., (from 3.2 percent in February 2013 to 12.1 percent in February 2014), Milwaukee, Wis. (from 3.5 percent in February 2013 to 9.2 percent in February 2014), San Francisco (from 3.9 percent in February 2013 to 9.5 percent in February 2014), San Antonio, Texas (from 4.6 percent in February 2013 to 8.3 percent in February 2014), and Columbus, Ohio (from 13.3 percent in February 2013 to 21.4 percent in February 2014).
All-cash sales more than 35 percent of all sales for eighth consecutive month
All-cash sales accounted for 43.3 percent of all U.S. residential sales in February, up from a revised 42.1 percent in January and up from 20.2 percent in February 2013. February was the eighth consecutive month were cash sales accounted for 35 percent or more of all sales nationwide.
- 12 percent of cash sales were to institutional investors.
- 15 percent of cash sales were properties in foreclosure or bank-owned.
- 67 percent of cash sales were properties priced $200,000 or lower.
Metro areas with share of all-cash sales above 50 percent included Miami (71.3 percent), Tampa (65.9 percent), Orlando (62.3 percent), Las Vegas (59.5 percent), New York (57.1 percent), Atlanta (56.7 percent) and Detroit (56.0 percent).
Report methodology
The RealtyTrac U.S. Residential Sales Report provides counts and median prices for sales of residential properties nationwide, by state and metropolitan statistical areas with a population of 500,000 or more. Data is also available at the county level upon request. The report also provides a breakdown of cash sales, institutional investor sales, short sales, bank-owned sales and foreclosure auction sales to third parties. The data is derived from recorded sales deeds and loan data, which is used to determine cash sales and short sales. Sales counts for recent months are projected based on seasonality and expected number of sales records for those months that are not yet available from public record sources but will be in the future given historical patterns. Statistics for previous months are revised when each new monthly report is issued as more deed data becomes available for those previous months.
Residential property sales: sales of single family homes, condominiums/townhomes, and co-ops, not including multi-family properties.
Annualized sales: an annualized estimate of the number of residential property sales based on the actual number of sales deeds received for the month, accounting for expected sales records for that month that will be received in future months as well as seasonality.
Distressed sales: sale of a residential property that is actively in the foreclosure process or bank-owned when the sale is recorded.
Distressed discount: percentage difference between the median price of distressed sales and a non-distressed sales in a given geographic area.
Bank-Owned sales: sales of residential properties that have been foreclosed on and are owned by the foreclosing lender (bank).
Short sales: sales of residential properties where the sale price is below the combined total of outstanding mortgages secured by the property.
Foreclosure Auction sales: sale of a property at the public foreclosure auction to a third party buyer that is not the foreclosing lender.
All-cash purchases: sales where no loan is recorded at the time of sale and where RealtyTrac has coverage of loan data.
Institutional investor purchases: residential property sales to non-lending entities that purchased at least 10 properties in the last 12 months.

Floyd and his wife, Joyce came to McCook a year or so before my wife, Jean and I came to town. Floyd had come to be the choral director at MHS and MJC, but the couple had recently launched their own business, with the foundation of the Piano and Music Store. They were two of the first people we met on arriving here. We found out that we had a great deal in common. We were of a similar age; each struggling with a new business; eventually we each had a family of two girls and a boy. Jean and Joyce were music teachers, and Floyd and Joyce helped Jean get started in the piano teaching business in McCook. Later, Joyce taught our kids piano and Jean taught theirs. They were a great help in getting us acquainted with their friends and business contacts.
Very early on we found that we also had our differences. Floyd hid behind a gruff exterior that often scared young people, but under that exterior he was a warm and caring individual, with a great sense of humor, a fellow who was forever helping young people---maybe teaching them to sail at the lake, or giving college kids an opportunity to earn a few bucks helping in his furniture moving business.
(Courtesy photo)
Over the years, Floyd campaigned for so many improvements for McCook. He was one of the organizers of the Community Concert series, and enjoyed his association with that group so much; his customer base probably formed the nucleus for season ticket holders of that group. He liked to introduce the artists at the concerts, and liked entertaining them after a concert. Over the years, through that association, he became a friend of many well known performers across the country.
He always saw to it that the artists were provided with a fine Baldwin Grand Piano for the concerts. A couple of times I was recruited to help him deliver a grand piano for an occasion -- which I looked upon as a daunting chore -- one that would require the services of at least a half dozen beefy helpers. "No," said Floyd, "Just follow my directions. The two of us will do just fine." And we did. He had mastered the art of leverage, and had the equipment so that all I had to do was steady the piano a bit as he moved it on its dolly into the building. A piece of cake!
While Floyd was at CU he had been a member of the Central City Opera Co. and sang in that group for a couple of seasons. Later he was fascinated by the Santa Fe Opera Co. and for years spent time in the summers attending operas in New Mexico. At times he and Joyce stayed in a nice condo. Other times he went alone and stayed in a tent. The music was all that really mattered.
Floyd was an active member of Rotary, and enjoyed all aspects of the organization. He prided himself on conducting his business and his life according to Rotary's 4-Way Test. He loved the camaraderie of the meetings and the friendly banter that went on among the members. For years he was the club song leader. I'm sure he despaired over the quality of our voices, and during the songs you could hear Floyd's rich baritone over the squeaks and groans of the club, but he never criticized -- exactly. He did, though sometimes suggest that "maybe we better work on that one a little more."
For years Floyd, the singer and CU fan, and Harold Larmon, our piano player, (the Cornhusker, who had once been the Drum Major for the NU Band), would bet on the annual CU-NU game. The loser had to sing (or play) the other's fight song. If NU lost Harold would play the Colorado Buff's fight song in a grating, minor key. If CU lost Floyd would sing Nebraska's song, using different, slightly derogatory words, or wear his CU sweatshirt. Whatever, it was always entertaining for the club.
Floyd was not a fan of contemporary music (though he sold many electric guitars, Fun Machines, and sheet music to the young people who were fans). When KBRL quit its program, which featured Big Band music of the '30s and '40s, Floyd was disgusted and lobbied for better music. When the Nebraska Public Radio network decided to expand statewide, Floyd was a willing promoter, and spearheaded the drive which put a translator in Southwest Nebraska. "Now, when I drive I can listen to classical music. It is going to help me preserve my sanity," he told me when the translator news was announced.
Floyd's taste in music was more high-brow than the average McCookite. He worked hard to make the production of the Messiah, using a community chorus, an annual event. Over the years he directed that chorus, and at times served as a soloist. He felt that a production of that sort made the community a nicer, better place to live.
Along those same lines, Floyd was a strong backer of school and community theater, especially the musicals. When Fiddler on the Roof was presented Floyd played the part of the Fiddler, playing the violin well enough that his scenes were memorable. In the musical, Oliver, he played the part of Fagan, the despicable trainer of the street urchins. He really enjoyed playing the part of a meanie, and played it with great relish.
For a number of years, Floyd and Joyce provided the musical entertainment for the College graduation services, and whenever the college needed another strong male voice, Floyd was always a willing singer and improved those groups by his presence.
Floyd always thought that McCook needed a concert hall for the arts. He led the movement to purchase the Fox Theater, with plans to return it to its former glory, and to make it a permanent home for musical events and theater.
But Floyd was not only a classical singer. At times he let himself descend into old time fun music, by being a part of "The Sunshine Boys," when we performed at the Hot Summer Nights Concerts in the Park, and at the District Rotary Convention. Great fun!
The music goes on. This week the Southwest Nebraska Community Theater Group presents its production of the Music Man -- "Right here in River City." Our thoughts -- with profound thanks -- will be of our friend, Floyd, our own Music Man, the fellow who did so much to make it happen here for the last half century.

Crenshaw couldn't resist return to Bama
Published: Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 4, 2008 at 11:14 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | One of the first things Wendell Hudson did after becoming head women's basketball coach at the University of Alabama was call Joni Crenshaw.
Crimson-White scrimmage
When: Tonight, 6 p.m.
Where: Coleman Coliseum
Tickets: Free admission
Radio: 90.7 FM
Hudson tabbed Crenshaw, a former Crimson Tide player who was serving as associate head coach at Louisiana Tech, to join his staff and help in the task of rebuilding the Alabama program. He made the call to Crenshaw almost as soon as he moved over to head coach from his associate athletic director's position in March.
'He just said, I want you to be a part of what we're doing,'' Crenshaw said. 'It was a really good, but short, conversation.'
Crenshaw wasn't looking to change jobs, but she couldn't turn down her alma mater.
'It wasn't a difficult decision because it was Alabama,' she said. 'I wouldn't have left Louisiana Tech for anywhere else. I had offers.
'My first couple of weeks here I pinched myself every day coming off the elevator.'
Crenshaw, a native of Meridian, Miss., was a four-year letterwinner at Alabama under head coach Rick Moody. She was a team captain as a senior and a two-year starter, finishing third in the program's history in blocked shots (103) while scoring 716 points and grabbing 555 rebounds. Crenshaw was also named to the Southeastern Conference Good Works Team for two years and received the 2000-01 Outstanding Community Service Award.
One of Crenshaw's primary responsibilities at Alabama is recruiting to build up the talent level at a program that went 27-61 in three years under previous coach Stephany Smith, including a 4-41 record in SEC play.
At Louisiana Tech, Crenshaw served as recruiting coordinator and signed four players out of Alabama, including 2006 Miss Basketball Shanavia Dowdell. After graduating from Alabama, Crenshaw spent three years as an assistant at Troy, where she signed two Atlantic Sun Freshmen of the Year honorees.
Alabama already has three in-state recruits committed for the upcoming early signing period later this month, including All-State center Karneshia Garrett of Wenonah High School in Birmingham.
'From a recruiting aspect, we've gotten out there and worked really hard to reestablish some relationships that were maybe broken a little bit,' Crenshaw said. 'That's where it starts, with recruiting. We're going to recruit good players, but more importantly, we're going to recruit good people.
'From a basketball standpoint, the kids are working really hard. I know we've got a long way to go, but we're working hard at it.'
Crenshaw will sit on the UA bench as a coach for the first time at tonight's Crimson and White scrimmage.
'The first day of practice was special for me,' she said. 'The first time we hosted recruits was special. I've cried so much I don't have any tear ducts left. Everybody who knows me knows I bleed crimson and white.'

McGuinty unconcerned by WTO ruling against Ontario's green energy act
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty stands in front of a solar module as he talks to Mike Andrade the Celestia's Senior Vice President of Diversified Markets while on tour at the green energy company's plant in Toronto on Thursday August 4, 2011. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young
The Canadian Press
Published Wednesday, November 21, 2012 7:18AM EST
TORONTO -- Premier Dalton McGuinty is defending Ontario's green energy act despite a World Trade Organization ruling that says one of its components contravenes international guidelines.
The European Union and Japan filed a WTO complaint two years ago, arguing that a section of the province's green energy program requiring made-in-Ontario parts for wind and solar farms breaches international trade law.
McGuinty dismissed the complaints Tuesday, saying that the requirements have not prevented companies from other countries from trying to participate in Ontario's green energy economy.
He said Ontario has secured $27 billion worth of investment from Korea, China, the U.S., France and Germany in renewable energy projects.
McGuinty said Ontario is creating thousands of jobs and manufacturing opportunities, and he will continue to "stand up for economic growth and jobs here."
The WTO has given its ruling to the parties involved in the dispute, but has not actually made it public, so McGuinty said he can't really comment on any details.
The Progressive Conservatives said the WTO ruling is proof the green energy act, which pays generous premiums for wind and solar-generated electricity, should be withdrawn.
"This means there's absolutely no way the Liberal government will be able to come close to its target of 50,000 green jobs being created," said PC energy critic Vic Fedeli.
"It's just the latest in a series of failures for the (feed-in-tariff) program, and it's time to scrap it."
The New Democrats urged McGuinty to appeal the WTO ruling when it is publicly announced sometime next month.
"The federal and provincial governments should be looking for options to preserve Ontario content if the WTO appeal were to fail," said NDP energy critic Peter Tabuns.
