Remove Images North Fulton mid-year housing snapshot August 19, 2013
The real estate market, both nationally and locally, is in a very solid recovery. We wanted to get a sense of how we're doing compared to last year rather than a month-over-month trend, so we decided to compare the first half of this year to the same period last year for single family homes in North Fulton. We know the number of sales are up and prices seem to be rising, but how broad is the recovery and what can we expect for the rest of this year? The chart below reflects that housing here is firing on all cylinders. Across the board, the numbers are up showing healthy increases. The biggest indicator of rising prices is asking price; we see those are up 6 percent over last year. Median sales prices are up 9 percent, which is a big jump but a healthy jump. We won't see sales prices rise like that forever, but I do think we'll see healthy increases in that range for the next few years for two main reasons. First, the market is hot in the lower price ranges and just now picking up in the luxury market. That market will continue to improve over the next 24 months. Secondly, we are on the verge of a new construction boom. New housing will have an impact on our market very much like it did in 2003 2005. Next week, we'll look at Forsyth County, where I think we'll see even bigger numbers. |

Heart Shaped Box- Joe Hill
Heart-Shaped Box - Joe Hill

Heart-Shaped Box - Joe Hill
Date: 29/05/12
Advantages: Very well written
Disadvantages: Plot is a bit far fetched
Now I know you should never judge a book by its cover, but 'Heart Shaped Box' by Joe Hill has an incredibly striking front cover. The image along with the dark colours that are used on the cover push to the forefront the notion of a thrilling, yet chilling read. This novel certainly lives up to these expectations with its incredible twists and turns throughout.
To start with, the reader is introduced to the main character 'Jude Coyne' and his wacky ways. Jude's character is constructed very well throughout the novel, so much so, that the reader can empathise with him when everything starts to go wrong. The reader discovers that curiosity almost got the better of Jude because of his bizarre interests.
Joe Hill writes with incredible precision and attention grabbing detail that it makes the reader keep turning the pages to see what is going to happen next. The plot is based on a simple idea that snowballs and builds up momentum until all is resolved at the end of the novel.
In my opinion, this book is incredibly unique because it describes one very simple act: buying a ghost on the internet. Joe Hill writes with such prowess that you find yourself completely immersed in an otherwise ludicrous idea of buying a ghost. This book grips you from start to finish and is a must read for all horror fiction fans.
Summary: This review describes the book 'Heart Shaped Box' and what I think of it.

Askam and Ireleth is a civil parish in the county of Cumbria, in North West England. It originally consisted of two separate coastal villages with different origins and histories which, in recent times, have merged to become one continuous settlement.
Ireleth has its origins as a mediaeval farming village clustered on the hillside overlooking the flat sands of the Duddon Estuary.[2] Askam was established following the discovery of large quantities of iron ore near the village in the middle of the 18th century.
The pair originally fell within the boundaries of the Hundred of Lonsdale 'north of the sands' in the historic county of Lancashire,[3] but following local government reforms in 1974 became part of the county of Cumbria, along with the rest of Furness.
The nearby River Duddon estuary and surrounding countryside have made the area well known for its wildlife,[4] while the villages' exposed position on the eastern bank facing the Irish Sea have encouraged the establishment of wind energy generation, amid local controversy.
Ireleth is the smaller and older of the two villages, with its origins stretching back to the Viking occupation of Britain. It was originally clustered along a stream, named 'Hole Beck', about half a mile up the hill from the estuary below. It was also the junction of four roads passing through the area. Firstly, there was the 'Sands' road, named 'Marsh Lane' in maps of the 1850s, heading down the hill towards the shore, where it met one of the possible routes for crossing the treacherous tidal sands of the Duddon at low tide. Secondly, there was the lane heading north along a ridge towards Kirkby-in-Furness. Part of these two roads form today's A595 main road. There was also a road leading up the stream's valley towards the hamlet of Marton, and finally a road east over the hills towards Dalton-in-Furness.[5]
Viking origins exist in two forms: remains have been found near St. Peter's parish church[2] and the name of the village itself is Viking, translated from the Old Norse as 'hill-slope of the Irish'.[6]
It is thought the village was included in the Domesday Book, compiled soon after the Norman Conquest, but there is debate over which of the entries for the Furness area in William the Conqueror's census actually refers to modern day Ireleth.[2] Several sources name a settlement called Gerleuuorde, part of the Manor of Hougun, as the correct entry but there is no conclusive evidence to support this, not least because of the discrepancies in spelling.[2] Samuel Lewis' A Topological Dictionary of England, written 1848, posits a different contender as the true Ireleth. He claimed Ouregrave referred to the village because of the existence of a mill named Orga-Mill, but he conceded this was also conjecture. Lewis' full text on Ireleth is below.[7]
" |
IRELETH, a chapelry, in the parish of Dalton-In-Furness, union of Ulverston, hundred of Lonsdale north of the Sands, N. division of Lancashire, 3 miles (N.) from Dalton; containing 744 inhabitants. Ogra-Mill, in this township, has been conjectured to be the Ouregrave of the Domesday survey: Roanhead is the point for crossing Dudden sands by the ancient road into Cumberland. Upon the east borders of Ireleth, also called Above Town, are the iron-mines of Whitridge, Lindal Moor, Cross Gates, and Inman Gill, the richest and most productive mines in Furness, with the exception of Cross Gates, the works of which have been suspended. Many thousand tons of ore are raised annually in the township. The living is a perpetual curacy; net income, £100; patron, the Vicar of Dalton. The chapel was built in 1608, by Giles Brownrigg, and was originally intended for a school. |
" |
During the Middle Ages, the entire area was controlled by the Cistercian monks of Furness Abbey. During this time, Ireleth was little more than one of many farming communities in Furness. The iron ore developments of Askam largely bypassed Ireleth, and the village developed slowly, housing farmers and workers from local towns.[2] The religious history of the village is recorded as starting around the year 1608, when an endowment was created to fund a village school. Giles Brownrigg, named variously as a local landowner[8] or a tailor who had left the area to make his fortune in London,[2] gave money to establish a school house and a salary for a schoolmaster. This building existed on what is today Sun Street; the only remains today are a font and a plaque, kept in the modern day school building, inscribed:[8]
" |
Giles Brownrig caused this school house to be builded the 6 yeare of King James ano 1608 and gave a yearly salari to the schole maister for ever [sic] |
" |
Ireleth featured in the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales. In this, it is said-[9]
" |
IRELETH, a village and a chapelry in Dalton-in-Furness parish, Lancashire. The village stands at a st. of the Furness railway, on the E side of the Duddon sands, 2¾ miles N of Dalton; is a small sub port to Lancaster; and maintains communication across the sands at low water. The chapelry includes also the hamlets of Lindale and Marton; but does not appear to have definite limits. Post town, Dalton-in-Furness. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Carlisle. Value, £100.* Patron, the Vicar of Dalton. The church stands on an eminence, overlooking the Duddon. |
" |
Ireleth did not have a parish church at this point, falling into the 'Above Town' area, together with the hamlets of Marton and Lindal, of the parish of Dalton-in-Furness.[7] Lacking a place of worship, it was decided the newly built school could also be put to use as a chapel. Fishwick's 'Lancashire & Cheshire Church Surveys, 1649–1655' of 1849 cites this record from a church survey taken in 1650:[10]
" |
That the Chappell of Irleth is not farr distant from its parish Church [Dalton in Furness], but neare enough thereto, and was onely built for a schoole, and some for their perticuler ease would have the same made a Chappell [sic] |
" |
In 1860, Ireleth, along with the newly founded Askam, petitioned for the creation of its own parish[2] following the rapid increase in population. Construction of a parish church began, with the money to build St. Peter's coming from the new-found profits of iron ore mining, giving rise to the name the 'Iron Church'. It was dedicated for use on St. Peter's Day, 29 June 1865,[11] but approval for a new ecclesiastical parish of 'Ireleth-with-Askam' did not come until almost ten years later in 1874.[12]
Askam's history starts much more recently. In 1850, iron ore deposits were discovered in the area by William Schneider. These turned out to be the second largest iron ore deposits in the country, with over 7 million tons of ore extracted. By 1896, 547 men were employed in the pits by the village and in nearby Roanhead, 347 of them underground. Several hundred others worked in local mines at Mouzell (between Ireleth and Dalton-in-Furness), Roanhead and Dalton.[13] They were all owned by the Kennedy Brothers Ltd. firm of Ulverston or the Millom and Askam Iron Company. The latter built four blast furnaces in the village to smelt the iron ore being brought from mines all over the peninsula by rail.[14] The village continued to grow with terraced houses and allotments erected for the flood of immigrant labour needed to work the mines.[15] They came from all parts of the British Isles, with a large proportion coming from existing mining areas in Cornwall and Ireland. The Cornish in particular tended to bring their families and settle, while the Irish often moved on to wherever there was work. Others came from areas where Askam's mine owners had other concerns, such as Scotland and Wales.[16]
Remnants of the steel industry remain in Askam, as evidenced by a pier, consisting of slag from the works, that juts out into the bay toward Millom.[15] Also, numerous streets are named after the industry and its owners. For example, 'Steel Street' is so named because of the steel industry; 'Sharp Street' is named after Joseph Sharp, one of the earliest people involved in Askam's steel industry; and 'Crossley Street' after William Crossley, an early investor in the Askam steel industry.[2] The large numbers of slag banks left by the steel industry around the village are now important sites for wildlife.[17] By 1918, the iron ore had run out and most of the industrial buildings were demolished in 1933.[15] Since then, Askam has grown with commuter homes, exploiting the views over the Duddon Estuary to the Lake District.
Because of the nature of the village 'conurbation', there is often confusion over the separate and joint naming of the two communities. Both are part of the 'Furness' peninsula, and as such the suffix -in-Furness can be added, in common with other settlements such as Barrow-in-Furness and Dalton-in-Furness. Askam, when referred to on its own, often uses this but it is rare for Ireleth to be called Ireleth-in-Furness.[18] A possible explanation for this is that the majority of in-Furness place names were inventions of the railway that either created the settlements or caused their rapid expansion; Ireleth, untouched by the railway, was not affected by this convention. However, Ireleth is often confused in archival records with 'Kirkby Ireleth', the former name for the community (two miles to the north) now known as Kirkby-in-Furness. These communities are differentiated in the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales.[9][19]
While the strip development has effectively created one larger community in the past fifty years, residents of both villages still retain a strong sense of being either from Askam or Ireleth. Road signs read 'Askam and Ireleth' on entering the villages by road, but an older 'A595 – Ireleth' sign still stands on the former boundary between the two.
In administration terms, the civil parish of which they are both part uses the name Askam with Ireleth,[20] as does the local Women's Institute (WI) which had previously been called Ireleth WI.
The geological make-up of the area is extremely important; indeed, without it, Askam as a place would not exist. The upper slopes of the hill near Ireleth are home to dark blue slate and is found on the roofs of several local dwellings. Haematite, the bright red iron ore, was discovered in an exceptionally large deposit—the second largest in the country—south of the current villages in the 1840s. Askam sprung up on the Ireleth marshes as a home for the miners attacking the new deposit. The other mineral found in large quantities, conveniently with a commercial use, is shale. This is fired with water to make red brick, and the brickworks, which is still operational today, was built in 1845 to exploit this.[21]
Much wildlife is found on the Duddon Estuary, perhaps most notably 20% of the national Natterjack toad population, who are attracted to the shallow breeding pools. The slagbanks around Askam are also very important as nesting sites for the rare sandwich terns that live in the area.[4] The beach is designated an Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) because of the range of flora and fauna present on the sands.[22]
Wind energy[edit]
The Askam and Ireleth Wind Farm can be found two kilometers east of the village, on the southern slopes of Hare Slack Hill. Work on the turbines started in late 1998, and the wind farm took eight months to complete.
The Marton, Askam and Ireleth Windfarm Action Group (MAIWAG) was one of the first such organisations in the UK dedicated to fighting windfarm development.[23]
Location and transport[edit]

The A595 is the main coastal route, designated a primary route, connecting Barrow and South Cumbria to Copeland, Workington, and Whitehaven. Its southern end is two miles (3 km) south of Askam at the junction with the A590 Dalton-in-Furness bypass. The area is served by Stagecoach Cumbria service, 7A and X7 as well as various school services.[24] There are plans to construct a crossing over the Duddon between Askam and Millom to reduce the long journey times between Furness and Copeland, due to the circuitous route of the A595 around the estuary. A scheme to build such a 'Duddon Crossing' remains at the planning stage, but is nominated as a future project in county transport planning.[25]
Askam is located on the 150-mile (240 km) Cumbrian Coastal Walk, which winds around the edge of the county.[26] The railway line passing through the two villages virtually bisecting them, with a bridge and a level crossing by the station allowing people to cross the line. There is a stop called Askam Railway Station. This line links to the Sellafield nuclear power plant in Seascale, West Cumbria.
Politics and demographics[edit]
As a civil parish, the villages have a parish council which usually meets monthly, normally the third Tuesday of each month.[27] All eight councillors will be up for election at the forthcoming English local government elections on 3 May 2007.[28] The villages also fall into the Dalton North ward of the borough, with voters electing three councillors to represent them on the council.[29] The ward also elects one councillor to represent it on Cumbria County Council. It is part of the Barrow and Furness parliamentary constituency, represented by Labour MP John Woodcock.
According to the most recent census, in 2001, the population of the (civil) parish is as follows:[1]
Population | ||||||
Total | ||||||
3632 | ||||||
of which: | ||||||
Male | 1807 | |||||
Female | 1825 | |||||

224 | 616 | 317 | 1047 | 915 | 296 | 217 |
The villages have several sporting facilities, including the Fallowfield Park rugby league ground, home of Askam Amateur Rugby League Football Club. Formed in 1879,[30] the amateur club is a member of British Amateur Rugby League Association and in 2007-2008 were elected to the National Conference League Division 2, but withdrew before the start of the season.[31] There is also Askam United Football Club who play in the West Lancashire Football League Division Two and Duddon SC, a cricket team based at the old K Shoes factory social club, now called Duddon Sports and Social Club. There is also a newly formed junior football team and due to playing on the Sports Club pitches, has taking the name of Duddon Sports Junior Football Club.[32]
A 10-hole links golf course, belonging to the Dunnerholme Golf Club, lies to the north of Askam. The course has one particularly interesting feature, namely a green atop Dunnerholme Rock,[33] a large uneroded limestone rock which stands out from the surrounding flat course and sands.[17] The golf club has been in existence since 1905.[34]
Public buildings[edit]
Village halls[edit]
There are four village halls, the Temperance Hall in Ireleth, the Community Centre (formerly part of Askam School)which has recently been refurbished (2010), the Band Hall in Sandy Lane, the home of the local Brass Band and venue for dances in the village, and the Rankin Hall in Askam.
The Temperance Hall, on Saves Lane, is a reminder of the Furness area's strong history of non-conformism. Built by the Society of Friends (the Quakers) in 1872,[2] it was marked as a place of worship on Ordnance Survey maps of the late 19th century, and was used by a Methodist offshoot group called the Bible Christians. It later fell out of use as a religious centre, being marked on maps in 1913 as simply a hall. The Temperance Hall was closed before being renovated in the 1990s, and is now used as a community centre and the location of parish council alternate months with the Rankin Hall, which is also the meeting place for the local Women's Institute.[35]
As already mentioned, there is St. Peter's Church overlooking the two villages atop Ireleth Hill, which is the oldest of the churches in the villages, and holds the only churchyard in the villages and adjoins the local cemetery; and the Temperance Hall that was once used as a church. There are three other places of worship within the village.
In 1907, at a cost of £350, The Christian Meeting House was built on Crossley Street in Askam, as a Church of Christ Church. This became, in 1956, St. Anthony's Catholic Church, and is still used in that capacity today. Sadly it is due to close by the end of 2009.[36] On Duddon Road, in Askam, there is also a Methodist Church, called Duddon Road Church. This is a shared building with the Church of England and is the headquarters of the local scouts, cubs, beavers, rainbows and brownies.[37]
There were once two other churches in the village, but they are no longer in use as Churches. Zion, on Beach Street, Askam, was a Primitive Methodist church that was founded in 1870. It closed in 1985.[38] There was also a United Methodist Church in Askam, and though the building still stands on Duke Street, it is now used as a social club. The Church was opened in 1878, on land that was donated by the Furness Iron and Steel Company. and became the Rankin Hall (see above) The Gospel hall on Duke Street closed some five years ago.[39]
Other buildings[edit]
There is a lifeboat station, home of the Duddon Inshore Rescue, that was established in 1970. Askam has a fountain commemorating Queen Victoria's Jubilee.[15] There are two schools, Ireleth St Peter's C.E. Primary School[40] and Askam Village School,[41] both of which are primary schools. There are no secondary schools in the village. There is a public library in Lord Street in Askam. It was originally built in 1904 as a reading room branch of Dalton-in-Furness Library.

Objectives and Priorities
510. The major programme operates in a context of rapid evolution of the forestry sector, as complex political, economic, technological and institutional changes are affecting forests. In particular, forest degradation and loss continue in many countries, leading to serious international concern for these trends. On the positive side, there is a growing commitment to forest conservation and public involvement in forest management decisions. Forestry issues are increasingly viewed as regional or global in nature and have become part of the international "political agenda".
511. The challenge in the coming years is to balance increasing demands for goods, including wood and non-wood products, with a wide array of environmental, social and cultural services. While the importance of forests and trees in food security, rural employment, the conservation of soil and water resources, mitigating climate change, and conserving biological diversity is now well appreciated, a concerted effort is needed to reconcile competing claims. As many of the critical issues in the forestry sector are linked with other sectors, there is a need for inter-sectoral approaches to forest management and conservation, especially increased collaboration between the forest and agriculture sectors in areas where there is competition for scarce land. It is important that these effects be underpinned by a comprehensive policy framework.
512. FAO has an important role to play in the international effort to promote the sustainable management and conservation of forest and tree resources. The proposed FAO-wide Strategic Framework draws on the more specific draft Strategic Plan for Forestry which has been reviewed and broadly supported by the Committee on Forestry, the six Regional Forestry Commissions, and the second FAO Ministerial Meeting on Forestry. These complementary documents provide the basis for the selection of priorities for FAO forestry programmes, in the medium as well as short-term.
513. Three goals are specified in the draft Strategic Plan for Forestry, as follows:
514. These goals translate in the following medium-term objectives:
515. While the overall result gives the appearance of a decline in resources, the budgetary provision includes savings derived from the restructuring of the MSUs and reductions due to the transfer of previous provisions for editorial services (hitherto included here under pool arrangements) to Chapter 5. In fact, the substance of the Forestry programme has been fully protected. A new Programme 2.4.4 is introduced to better highlight a number of coordination and information support activities previously diffused throughout the major programme.

516. This programme provides core information about forest resources and trees outside forests, and therefore, the technical underpinnings for the Organization's normative work on forests. It contributes to the following overall medium-term objectives:
517. Major priorities include work on global forest resources assessment and criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management. These permeate the seven entities around which the programme is organized: one major continuing programme activity (CP) and five technical projects (TPs), supplemented by a technical service agreement (TS) to support country-based action.
241A1 - Sustainable Management of Natural Forests
Rationale and Objective
518. A prerequisite to the sustainable management of natural forests is access by policy makers and forest managers to a broad range of information comprising: the extent of forest resources, the status of and progress toward sustainable forest management, the demand for and supply of forest goods and services, the latest developments in forest management techniques and related experiences in countries, and interactions between forests and other land uses. This TP is to provide information on these aspects, as well as on socio-economic, policy and institutional conditions and requirements for improving the management of natural forests. This programme entity includes work on the implementation of criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management, the management of forest genetic resources, the management of natural forests in the humid tropics, and the protection of forests against pests, disease and wildfire. The objective is to support and increase national capacities to conserve, enhance and sustainably utilize natural forests for the provision of a wide variety of resources, goods and services.
519. Together with decentralized staff, the TP will assist current international processes on criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management through provision of know-how, information and facilitation of linkages between the various international processes. For instance, LOGE will assist Helsinki Process countries in implementation of criteria and indicators, including facilitation and reporting linkages with Temperate and Boreal Forest Resource Assessment (TBFRA). RAF will assist with criteria and indicators developed and tested in arid and semi-arid Africa. RAP will also assist with criteria and indicators in their region. More generally, FAO will study and analyze trends in the development and implementation of criteria and indicators at the national and field management unit levels. The TP will also support the implementation of model forests in collaboration with partner institutions (e.g. CIFOR) and key countries. It will seek to apply and share experiences and develop guidelines for this purpose. This promotional effort will be accompanied by a series of manuals and guidelines based on best management practices in humid tropical forests, beginning with a guide for management of secondary forests
520. As regards forest genetic resources, the TP will encourage the development of regional and sub-regional action programmes for the conservation and management of forest genetic resources. It will provide policy and technical advice on integrated genetic resource management as a key aspect of effective forest management, with special attention to developing countries and countries in transition. It will update the FAO worldwide information system on forest genetic resources, REFORGEN, based on country-derived data and issue a series of technical documents on the integration of forest genetic resources into conservation, management and breeding activities. In addition, workshops on best management practices will be organized in collaboration with FAO field staff and IPGRI. Concerning pests and forest fires, the TP will provide advice and information to member countries on forest fire management, integrated pest management, and control of transboundary spread of insects and diseases. It will develop a database on forest pests and a global database on forest fires in collaboration with key member countries. Guidelines on forest fire management in temperate and boreal forests, as well as the results of case studies on the involvement of local communities in forest fire management will be published.
521. Internal links will be ensured with other programmes, e.g. those dealing with plant pests and genetic resources (2.1.2), and other forestry entities. External partners include CATIE, the CBD Secretariat, CGIAR institutes, the International Model Forests Network (IMFN) based in Canada, ITTO, IUCN, IUFRO, and UNEP.
241A2 - Trees Outside Forests
Rationale and Objective
522. Member countries need to increase the contribution of trees outside forests in rural, urban and peri-urban environments to enhance sustainable livelihood of populations and food security. This requires: improved knowledge of trees outside forests, ways to augment their productivity through agroforestry systems, enhanced protective role and functions of trees in fragile ecosystems and marginal lands, in particular in dry ecosystems, and close integration of the protective roles and social functions of trees and tree systems in urban and peri-urban areas. The objective of this TP is to assist the many countries which face degradation of their lands and forest resources towards the improved use of trees outside forests, a key dimension of sustainable development.
Approach and Links
523. The TP will develop guidelines for policy-makers and practical methodologies for the assessment of trees outside forests. This work will be supported by an annotated bibliography of country and thematic case studies on trees outside forests. Countries will be assisted in improving desertification control through advanced agroforestry techniques, including the formulation of national action programmes under the Convention to Combat Desertification (CCD). In collaboration with decentralized forestry staff, support will be provided to several regional networks to carry out assessments of the contributions of trees outside forests and agroforestry. Local strategies and technical agroforestry packages will be formulated, particularly through the Special Programme for Food Security (SPFS). Studies will be carried out on urban forestry in coastal areas and small islands, and on the linkages between forest and tree degradation and impoverishment around cities. Demonstrations and training on transfer of urban forestry techniques are planned. Publications on the state-of-the-art of arid zone forestry in several regions are also planned. Besides links with other entities under the major programme, external partners include ICRAF and IUFRO, as well as a number of academic institutions active in the sector.
241A3 - Sustainable Mountain Development and Watershed Management
Rationale and Objective
524. FAO is the designated United Nations system lead agency for the International Year of Mountains (2002) and is also task manager for Chapter 13 of Agenda 21 - Managing Fragile Ecosystems: Sustainable Mountain Development. Accordingly, this TP will seek: 1) to increase awareness of sustainable mountain development issues; 2) to facilitate collaboration among partners in the context of Chapter 13 of Agenda 21 to achieve coherent and effective institutional approaches; and 3) to enhance capacity at national level to plan and implement sustainable mountain development and watershed management programmes.
Approach and Links
525. A number of publications are planned, including on the ecological role and management considerations of high altitude forests, working definitions of mountains and their sustainable development, and the role of forests in sustainable mountain development. FAO's lead role will also be facilitated by the development of databases on national mountain profiles and institutions active in sustainable mountain development and the establishment of an effective information network for the collection, analysis and dissemination of mountain related information. Regional preparatory meetings for the Global Mountain Conference as well as other important meetings on the subject will be convened or serviced. Awareness-building activities will include the preparation of brochures, case studies, films, exhibitions for the International Year of Mountains (2002). Guidelines and training modules for policy formulation and programme planning in sustainable mountain development will be prepared and organized, drawing on the support of decentralized offices. External partners will include in particular the ICIMOD.
241A4 - Biological Diversity Conservation and Sustainable Wildlife Utilization
Rationale and Objective
526. This programme entity includes two important dimensions of FAO's work in forestry which are grouped for convenience to avoid fragmented presentation. The conservation of biological diversity is a critical component of sustainable natural resources management. Building on earlier valuable advice, technical assistance, and information provided by FAO about wildlife resources and their utilization, this CP will continue to meet the demands of Members for these services. The objectives are, therefore, to identify and document constraints on effective biodiversity conservation, especially at the ecosystem level; to identify and facilitate the uptake of improved methods of biodiversity conservation; and to facilitate the sustainable use of forest and wildland animal resources.
Approach and Links
527. The TP will develop criteria and indicators of effective biodiversity conservation in collaboration with the more global regional processes on criteria and indicators. It will also document and analyze constraints on effective biodiversity conservation and, in collaboration with decentralized offices, publish and disseminate reports and guidelines on biodiversity. The TP will continue to advise member countries on sustainable wildlife management, develop and publish criteria and indicators for sustainable use of wildlife and support increased national capacities in ecosystem conservation, management and use of wildlife resources. This will be supported by such regional publications as: the Asian Elephant, and eight issues of Tigerpaper, FAO's quarterly journal of wildlife conservation in Asia and the Pacific. Links are to be maintained with other entities and external partners such as the CBD Secretariat, WWF, IUCN, and WB/UNDP for the development and evaluation of Global Environment Facility (GEF) projects.
241A5 - Forest Plantations and Planted Tree Resources
Rationale and Objective
528. Plantations and planted trees will increasingly be the source of wood and non-wood products as the ability of natural forest resources to meet future demands is reduced. These plantations are expected to be established mostly by the private sector. Member countries need to be aware of trends in the establishment and management of plantations and the extent to which they will contribute toward meeting the future demand for wood and non-wood forest goods and services, including environmental services, in order to develop effective policies for the sustainable management and conservation of forests and other tree resources. The objectives are to support programmes for plantations and planted trees through the introduction and use of best silvicultural and management practices, the use of physiologically and genetically optimal materials; to safeguard the health and vitality of forest resources from insects and other harmful biotic and abiotic agents; to facilitate forest and land use policy decisions based on reliable and timely information on status and trends in plantations; and to assess the environmental, social and economic impacts of forest plantations and planted trees.
Approach and Links
529. This TP will have a strong component of technical and policy advice to countries on plantations and planted trees, and also on all aspects of tree seed handling, tree improvement, and the application of new biotechnologies in forest tree breeding. Guidelines on the safe movement of germplasm will be issued, as appropriate. Support to networks will include mahogany, neem, and karite networks, as well as TEAKNET (dealing with teak in Asia). Methodological work will cover a study on the effect of plantation production on the extent and state of natural forests, including an analysis of threats to natural forest ecosystems, as well as case studies on environmental, social and economic impacts of plantations and planted trees. This will be accompanied by the development of a plantations database in collaboration with the major project on forest resources assessment (FRA 2000). A regional Workshop on the Use of Wastewater for Irrigated Forest Plantations is planned in the Near East, whereas information networks on forest insects and diseases will be established in the Asia/Pacific, Mediterranean/Balkans and Africa regions. The TP provides secretariat services, including background documents and reports, for the 21st session of the International Poplar Commission (IPC) and for the 12th session of the Panel of Experts on Forest Gene Resources. Important external partners are CIFOR, IUCN, WWF, IUFRO, INEP and UNESCO.
241P1 - Assessment and Monitoring of Forests and Woodland Resources
Rationale and Objective
530. International and national level policy-makers require timely, accurate and comprehensive information about forest resources as the basis for making decisions about forests. This is part of FAO's mandate, hence this continuing programme activity, the objectives of which are: to systematically observe, analyze, document and report on the status and trends in forest resources; to develop on a continuing basis technologies and methods for forest inventory, analysis, assessment and monitoring based on common and agreed concepts and terms; and to strengthen the capabilities of member countries to assess their own forest resources and underlying causes of deforestation and forest degradation.
531. As part of the major forest resources assessment (FRA) activity, the CP will analyze trends in forest resources, including spatial and dynamic aspects such as: changes in forest cover, growth and yield, carbon storage, environmental aspects, fires, related indicators of sustainability, trends in forest uses including social and economic parameters, fuelwood, non-wood goods and services, forests available for wood supply, protected areas, and indicators of biological diversity. It will produce and disseminate to the membership on a periodic basis, reports on the status and trends of forest resources, including a major status report as of the year 2000. It will also make available on the Internet, comprehensive databases with information about forest resources on a national, regional and global basis. All Regional and Sub-regional Offices contribute to this overall assessment and reporting activity, also by encouraging national forest inventory coordinators to share and collect forest resource information using compatible formats and standards to facilitate regional and global analysis of comparable data. They will also disseminate forest inventory methodologies, including standards and guidelines for use by countries in improving the assessment of their forest resources. Through national, sub-regional and regional workshops, the CP will seek to increase capacities to monitor, assess and analyze the state and trends in forest resources and forest uses, and to use this information as the basis for effective forest policies and programme evaluation.
532. The FRA activity will draw on the expertise of other forestry programmes. It will feed information into the State of the World's Forests (SOFO) - 243P5. External partners include several bilateral assistance agencies, EU, UN-ECE, UNEP and a number of national research centres.
241S1 - Technical Support and Advisory Services
533. This entity is to support field projects and respond to requests from governments for technical assistance and policy advice, as relates to forest resources and other disciplines covered under Programme 2.4.1. It will involve participation of both Headquarters and decentralized staff.

534. The programme addresses the production and utilization of the many wood-based and non-wood products derived from forests and trees outside forests. It recognizes that sustainable management of forests depends in large part on the environmental and economic impact of the actions of people who use forest products. It addresses more particularly the following overall medium-term objectives:
535. The six constituent programme entities give prominence to the collection and dissemination of information on forest raw material and products, the adoption of codes of environmentally-sound harvesting and utilization practices, the improvement of utilization standards, increasing productivity and conversion efficiency, the development of improved trade policies, and the active promotion of a wide range of non-wood forest products, including their management, utilization and marketing.
242A1 - Socio-economic Aspects of Forest Products
Rationale and Objective
536. Forests provide multiple products and services, with a potential to contribute to employment and income generation. It is important for countries to increase the value and sustainable use of forest goods and services in harmony with national resource conservation and environmental protection goals. This technical project is to increase awareness in countries through information on employment and income generation, especially in rural areas, as well as the development, conservation and sustainable management and use of trees and other forest resources.
Approach and Links
537. A report is to be issued on the socio-economic role of the forest products industry. In addition, manuals on road survey and construction, especially in mountainous terrain, will be published. A database on plantation timber and wood products marketing will be established. Methodological work will include studies on the potential of people's participation in forests products marketing at local level and on consumer attitudes towards certified forest products in selected markets. Comprehensive information will be placed on the Internet to document the role of non-wood forest products in food security. Work on wood energy systems will address the economics of using wood fuels and other forest products and the analyzing of policy options for income generation and employment from wood energy at the country level. The main external partners are expected to be ILO, UNIDO and IUFRO.
242A2 - Increasing Productivity in Sustainable Forest Raw Material Utilization
Rationale and Objective
538. This TP addresses the multiple requirements of countries in increasing the contribution of forests and trees to national economies and meeting the demand for forest products in a sustainable manner. The objective is to support a long-term increase of productivity in forest goods and services through reduction of waste, increased use of residues, recycling, improved methods, techniques and practices of harvesting, processing and marketing. This TP will also aim at providing scientific and technical information for a better understanding and implementation of carbon sequestration and substitution activities, within the framework of the UN Framework Convention of Climate Change.
539. This TP will involve a number of studies on: plantation timber pricing in selected regions; marketing of selected non-wood forest products in urban markets; and improved harvesting systems and techniques for selected non-wood forest products. A survey of forest products marketing training needs in a selected country/region will be carried out and a compendium of log and sawnwood grading rules is to be issued. It is also planned to undertake case studies for the calculation of carbon inventories in forest and wood energy initiatives, and surveys on wood wastes for fuel production in selected countries. Reports on recovered paper and environmental aspects and on modern processing technologies for veneer and plywood production are to be published. A regional code will be prepared for Africa on forest harvesting practices in natural forests and an expert meeting is to be convened on the subject. Decentralized offices will focus on direct support to national efforts to implement reduced impact logging practices and support to countries through the framework of national forest programmes to assist them in responding to the forestry reporting requirements of the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) and Kyoto Protocol.
540. Besides links to other forestry entities (in jointly addressing the socio-economic aspects of forest products and forest plantations and planted-tree resources), external partners will comprise CIFOR, ILO, ISO and IUFRO with which consultations and joint activities are planned, and IEA, UNDP and UNIDO for activities on bioenergy.
242P1 - Forest Raw Material Information
Rationale and Objective
541. In addition to ecological and biological forest information, reliable data on the resources available for industrial and household-level use, as well as levels of harvesting are needed by policy-makers, planners and the public and private sectors. The objective of this continuing programme activity is to improve the availability and access to information on forest raw materials and their harvesting intensities for sustainable utilization.
Approach and Links
542. The main actions will be to maintain a database on the environmental impact of forest utilization on forest resources in tropical forests, and another database on forests available for wood supply. Selected information will be placed on the Internet and issued as traditional publications. In addition, pilot case studies will be undertaken on the environmental impact of forest utilization on the forest resources in tropical forests. Main external partners will be CIFOR and UNIDO.
242P2 - Forest Products Information and Networking
Rationale and Objective
543. The international community requires adequate information to support the development of national forestry policies. FAO also needs to promote international agreements for concerted actions towards sustainable development. The objectives of this CP are thus to improve availability and access to information on forest products in collaboration with relevant stakeholders and to provide a forum to involve the public and private sectors in current developments related to forest products utilization, marketing and trade.
544. A number of databases will be maintained, covering forest products marketing, and information on forestry equipment and machineries and manufacturing companies. Those relating to wood energy are: WEIS, an interactive database providing statistical information about the production and consumption of wood-based fuels in all countries, and Wood Energy Today for Tomorrow as a mechanism for the collection and collation of information and data on wood fuels, other biofuels and related energy aspects at national level. Two issues of recovered paper data are planned, as well as the regular publication of the Forest Harvesting bulletin, and the Forest Energy Forum (bi-annual bulletin). Activities on the Unified Wood Energy Terminology (UWET) will concentrate on its improvement, periodic review and dissemination. Two issues of the Non-wood News bulletin are also planned, together with maintenance of the associated page on the FAO Website. Support to international expert meetings and training workshops on non-wood forest products (NWFP) will be provided in cooperation with decentralized offices. Finally, the analysis of information on reduced impact forest harvesting and engineering operations (production and costs) supporting sustainable forest management, will complete the range of information dissemination activities under this CP.
545. Several external partners are expected to cooperate, primarily through mutual exchange of data. These are AIT, CIFOR, UN-ECE, IEA, ILO, IUFRO, OLADE, UNESCO and UNIDO.
242P3 - Forest Products Utilization Issues
Rationale and Objective
546. Forest products utilization and trade are major factors influencing the conservation and sustainable development of forest resources. Appropriate policies and practices are required to support national and effective utilization, trade and industrial development, including consideration of environmental aspects. This CP is to foster increased awareness of trade in wood, non-wood, and wood energy products and of the factors influencing their utilization.
Approach and Links
547. This CP will contribute to the preparation of various documents on trade trends in forest products, including the evaluation of trade potential in NWFP, and the analysis of trade in wood-based fuels, for dissemination or presentation to workshops/conferences. It will also be involved with trade and environmental analysis, and certification analysis, as well as with advice to countries concerning follow-up to the Uruguay Round. Main external partners are expected to be ATO, ITTO and UN-ECE.
242S1 - Support to Statutory Bodies, Committees, International Organizations and Field Projects
548. This technical services agreement covers inputs to various bodies and support to field projects related to the disciplines under Programme 2.4.2 (the latter jointly with decentralized offices). Besides contributions to the Committee on Forestry (COFO), regional forestry commissions and SOFO, examples of involvement include: servicing of the FAO/ECE/ILO Workshop on New Trends in Wood Harvesting with Cable Systems; servicing of the FAO/ECE/ILO Seminar on Harvesting of Non-wood Forest Products in the Mediterranean Region and the FAO/ECE/ILO Committee on Forest Technology and Management, and two annual sessions of the Advisory Committee on Paper and Wood Products (ACPWP). Attendance at committees and participation in discussions and technical evaluations, are also covered.

549. The programme responds to the need for countries to strengthen national policies, institutions, and processes, both in the forestry sector and in related sectors, in order to make significant progress toward the sustainable management and conservation of forest and tree resources. It addresses the following overall medium-term objectives:
550. The information dissemination objective is to be met by issuance of forestry sector outlook studies and the major report on the State of the World's Forests (SOFO). Work on institution strengthening will cover in particular the formulation of national forest programmes and further promotion of and support to community forestry. The programme will also support the implementation and monitoring of the outcomes of actions agreed in the Intergovernmental Panel on Forests and the Intergovernmental Forum on Forests.
551. The work programme for 2000-01 contemplates three technical projects, five continuing programme activities including SOFO and statistics, and one technical services agreement covering technical support and advisory services to the membership.
243A1 - Forestry Outlook Study for Africa
Rationale and Objective
552. FAO has been undertaking a series of regional forest sector outlook studies in collaboration with concerned member countries. The first study, which provided the medium and long-term outlook for forest resources, products, trade, services, policies, and institutions in Asia and the Pacific, was completed in 1998. The second major regional study, which is addressed by this TP, encompasses the countries of Africa and was started in 1998. The direct involvement of countries in the study is expected to strengthen their institutional capabilities in this important area. The objectives are to support strategic forestry planning efforts, to stimulate forest policy reform, to provide orientation for donor assistance and investment in the region and, more generally, to contribute to forest conservation and development throughout Africa.
Approach and Links
553. Intermediate outputs will consist of baseline studies on socio-economic aspects and land uses in African countries, a series of country, sub-regional and thematic studies and the analysis and projections of forest products production, trade and consumption. The results will feed into the consolidated forest sector outlook study for use by African countries as a reference for sector analyses, policy studies, planning of investment and assistance programmes, and to support national or sub-national policy and institutional reform. The Regional and Sub-regional Offices will participate throughout. It is also foreseen to undertake follow-up studies and capacity-building in specific countries, focusing on policy and legislation reform and improved assessment and analysis of national level information. Work will draw as required on the range of forestry expertise present in the Forestry Department and in the decentralized offices. External partners will be AfDB, EU, WB, SADC, IGAD, ECOWAS and ATO.
243A2 - Forests, Trees and People Programme
Rationale and Objective
554. The Forests, Trees and People Programme (FTPP) provides an effective mechanism to support initiatives to decentralize the management of forests to the population groups whose livelihoods are most directly affected, the people in local forest communities. This TP's objectives are to increase social and economic equity and improve human well-being, especially of the poor, by creating an enabling environment for collaborative and sustainable management of trees, forests and other natural resources, and to assist with related policy, legislation and capacity-building, particularly at the community level.
Approach and Links
555. The TP will develop practical tools and methodologies for participatory natural resource management, including guidelines for an enabling environment and for involving stakeholders in policy development. The latter will build on case studies on participation of all stakeholders in policy development. The TP will also support training workshops to address locally relevant issues and disseminate information through newsletters, electronic means, and targeted publications, including the FTPP brochure. There is a strong networking dimension to facilitate exchange of knowledge among the various FTPP regional components. Besides cooperation with other forestry entities and support of decentralized staff, links will be maintained with the Sustainable Development Department (Programmes 2.5.2 and 2.5.3). The FTPP external partners include CIFOR, ICRAF, CATIE, ICIMOD as well as several academic institutions and bilateral assistance programmes.
243A3 - Strengthening Forestry Research, Education and Extension Systems
Rationale and Objective
556. Effective forest research, education and extension systems underpin institutional and human resource capability to sustainably manage forests, trees outside forests, and related natural resources. This TP aims, therefore, to enhance forestry research, education and extension systems and institutions at national and regional levels. Objectives are to facilitate technology transfer and linkages; to develop institutional arrangements and partnerships; and to develop effective tools and methods to promote forest research, education and extension.
Approach and Links
557. The TP will seek in the first instance to maintain comprehensive information systems and databases on forestry education and extension systems. It will issue practical guidelines on developing learning networks and curriculum development and teaching methodologies for forestry education. Publications on forestry extension are to be issued addressing approaches, institutional arrangements and communication support. A state-of-the-art report on forestry education is also to be prepared. Workshops on extension approaches will be organized. Networking of forestry research institutions will include FAO support to the Asia and the Pacific Association of Forestry Research Institutions (APFRI) and similar networks in other regions. Cooperation will be ensured with similar activities in the Sustainable Development Department concerning agricultural education and extension. Main outside partners are CIFOR, ICRAF and IUFRO, together with numerous universities in developing forestry education and research programmes, curricula, and related institutional aspects.
243P1 - Improving Country Capacity on Forestry Policy and Institutions and Support to National Forest Programmes
Rationale and Objective
558. This continuing programme activity is to respond to countries' requests for assistance with strengthening forest policies and institutions. At the international level, support will be provided to policy dialogue, either under the auspices of FAO or other relevant mechanisms such as the UN Commission on Sustainable Development. The objectives are to develop methodologies, techniques and normative orientations for improving forestry policy formulation and implementation; to enhance institutional performance; and to assist with effective programmes for forest management at the national and sub-national levels.
Approach and Links
559. Case studies on cross-sectoral linkages between forestry policy and other policies will be carried out, and methodologies concerning the main phases of forestry policy processes will be developed and published. There will also be studies on specific issues, including privatization, decentralization, and the impact of globalization on national forest management. The results of this analytical work will be fed into seminars and workshops on forest policy carried out in different regions and technical support will be provided to countries in the development and effective implementation of national forest programmes; both involving staff in decentralized offices. Main external partners will be CIFOR (for collaboration in case studies), EU, UNDP and the WB (contribution to the World Bank forestry policy review).
243P2 - Economic Analysis of the Forestry Sector
Rationale and Objective
560. Concerning the comprehensive and objective evaluation of the demand and supply of forest products and services, many countries require support in devising options to improve the financing of forest management and conservation, as well as to develop and implement more effective and economically sound policies. The objective of this CP is, therefore, to assist countries to improve the management of forest resources through the application of sound economic analysis.
Approach and Links
561. This continuing programme activity has by essence a strong analytical dimension. The following factors will be more particularly investigated: the effects of emerging technologies to expand fibre supply, while maintaining water and air quality; the economic perspective of the role of trees outside forests in providing food, fodder, fuelwood, and other services, while contributing to sustainable forest management; important trends in international forest products trade, including the increasing trade of processed products, and the implications for forest management; capital flows and their impact on the forest sector; the potential impact of increased forest plantations, including economic, social and environmental effects. In addition, there will be a strong publications component, e.g. on public and private investments in forestry; practical land tenure arrangements available to countries in Africa that would promote sustainable forest management; and successful administrative and fiscal arrangements. Region-specific publications are also to be issued. Workshops will be organized to share experiences of forest managers who have successfully invested in good forest management practices. This CP will need to draw as required on contributions from other forestry entities. Through this CP, preparation will be made to launch a regional forestry sector and outlook study for Latin America late in the biennium. External partners will include EU and WB.
243P3 - Forest Products Production and Trade Statistics
Rationale and Objective
562. As part of FAO's mandate, this CP covers core work on statistics related to the production and trade of forest products. The objectives are to provide Members with timely, accurate and comprehensive national, regional and global information on the production and trade of forest products and to assist them in gathering, tabulating and analyzing their own information in order to improve the efficiency of the forest products sector.
Approach and Links
563. FAO will rely on a network of statistical correspondents for the development and dissemination of guidelines, on-line references, and other tools to help countries convert their forest product statistical series into internationally compatible information. Two editions of the FAO Yearbook of Forest Products will be issued, while data will also be available on the Internet. A joint forest products questionnaire is to be developed in partnership with UN-ECE, ITTO and EUROSTAT, and statistical training workshops will be held to promote a clear understanding of agreed norms and methodologies for classification and definition of forest products. Besides the above institutions, other partners will be key national statistical services in advanced countries.
243P4 - Participatory Forestry Development
Rationale and Objective
564. This continuing programme activity responds to governments' requirements for assistance in promoting participatory decision-making processes and decentralization of decision-making in the forestry sector. The objective is to support an enabling environment for participatory forestry both to maintain forest resources and improve the well-being of rural people who depend on forests for their livelihoods.
Approach and Links
565. The methodological component will consist of case studies on the impact of decentralization on local forest management, including identification of key indicators for monitoring and evaluating impacts, and also case studies on devolution. This work will lead to guidelines for policy and decision-makers to create an enabling environment for increase stakeholder participation, and a major report on the impact of community based management on forest resources. FAO publications on forestry and food security will also be revised and updated. The training support component foresees the preparation of field manuals for learning networks and participatory processes, including development of an information package, conflict management training materials, and gender and natural resources training workshops. There is a direct link between this CP and entity 243A2 (Forests, Trees and People Programme) described above. A number of NGOs and academic institutions will be associated with this work.
243P5 - State of the World's Forests
566. This CP covers the issuance on a biennial basis of a comprehensive report on the state of the world's forests (SOFO), including summaries of global and regional information about forest resources, products and trade, and analyses of current forest policy issues. Close contacts will be maintained with units responsible for other similar reports (e.g. SOFA and Agriculture Towards 2015/30).
243S1 - Technical Support and Advisory Services
567. This entity covers a wide range of inputs related to technical support to the FAO field programme and policy advice to countries, on issues addressed by Programme 2.4.3.

568. This new programme is introduced to highlight several important information and coordination activities which cut across the various forestry disciplines and programmes, as the three constituent entities indicate.
244P1 - Forestry Information System
Rationale and Objective
569. This CP covers in particular the development and maintenance of an integrated global forest information system which links various cartographic, descriptive and statistical databases on a country and thematic basis. This information system is also integrated with the overall WAICENT programme and is available on the Internet. The objective is to make available to internal and external users comprehensive information on all technical areas covered by the Forestry Department.
570. The programme of work contemplates the design and implementation of new modules and other enhancements to the FAO forestry information system on the Internet, including improved linkages with FAO decentralized offices and partner institutions such as national forestry-related Websites. Enhancements of the information system will include the development of improved protocols, interfaces, hyperlinks, and information content. Training will be organized for FAO staff and partners on effective use of the information system. This CP also covers: the production of UNASYLVA (FAO's quarterly forestry journal); the preparation of targeted information material in cooperation with decentralized offices to meet regional requirements; and the FAO forestry library.
571. As regards internal links, the forestry information system is fully integrated with WAICENT, whereas the forestry library operates within the framework of the FAO library system. Information in the global forest resources assessment (FRA), databases on forest products, including global fibre supply information, and other statistical databases on the production and trade of forest products are fully integrated with the global forestry information system. External partners include CIFOR, IUFRO, EU, UN-ECE and the WB.
244P2 - Support to Initiatives in the Follow-up to UNCED
Rationale and Objective
572. As task manager for Chapters 11 and 13 of Agenda 21, FAO has a lead role in the follow-up to UNCED. It is active in providing support to, and analysis and information for international processes related to forests, including the intergovernmental forest policy dialogue under the UN Commission on Sustainable Development. This is also buttressed by its role of neutral forum for the exchange of information on forest policies, institutions and resources through the Committee on Forestry, ministerial meetings on forestry and regional forestry commissions. The objectives are to make available to countries and to partner organizations technical and analytical information on issues and options for sustainable development in the forest and related sectors and, upon request, to provide advice and facilitate the mobilization of resources to promote sustainable forest management at the national level.
Approach and Links
573. A major activity is the on-going support to the Intergovernmental Forum on Forests (IFF) and eventual arrangements to foster international dialogue on forests, including arrangements and mechanisms to promote sustainable forest management. The CP will also provide inputs to the various processes for criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol under the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC). The decentralized offices will seek to facilitate and participate in regional initiatives to implement the proposals of the Intergovernmental Panel and Forum on Forests. The major external partners are the UN-CSD Secretariat and other secretariats of conventions.
244S1 - Support to Statutory Bodies and Liaison with the Regional Offices
574. The FAO Committee on Forestry (COFO) is a major statutory body which provides guidance and oversight for the Organization's forestry programmes. The regional forestry commissions assemble national forestry leaders in each region to exchange views on important policy and resource management issues, as well as to provide guidance for FAO's forestry programmes to reflect regional concerns and perspectives. This programme entity also serves as a focal point for coordination of forestry work in the decentralized offices. The specific objectives are, therefore, to ensure that the statutory bodies receive adequate information organized to optimize the interaction among Members and their contributions to FAO governance; and to promote fruitful exchange of views among members of the forestry committees and commissions.

Backyard Sports Blog:
The Golden State Warriors have surprised me a little bit this year. They upset the Clippers last night and moved to 25-15, which is currently the 5th spot in the Western Conference. Stephen Curry is averaging 20 points a game and almost 7 assists. None of his assists were close to as good as the one he had last night though. The announcer even gives him a Magic Johnson comparison after the pass. If it's possible to get assist of the year in the NBA, he just got it. Check out the pass below.
