  East York, Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
East York is a former suburb of Toronto, which was a borough of Metropolitan Toronto before it was amalgamated into the megacity of Toronto in 1998.
The borough of East York was established in 1967 through the amalgamation of the former township of East York and the former town of Leaside.
Over the last thirty years East York has become a major arrival point for immigrants, many of whom have established their first Canadian residence in the apartments that are plentiful in Thorncliffe Park.

 Beaches-East York   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
However, much of that is due to the landslide advantage former East York mayor Dave Johnson held in his home turf--but he's running elsewhere this time, and besides, this was traditionally the strongest NDP part of his old riding.
Besides, if East York is unfamiliar turf for her, she can count on the support of someone who's now probably a far more popular local political figure than Dave Johnson--his mayoral successor, and an NDPer to boot, councillor Michael Prue.
Given his past experience as a former East York Councillor, his contacts to the Danforth business community, and his congeniality,the ingredients are in place for a squeker of an upset if everything goes right.

Portuguese President Jorge Sampaio, who is in New York to attend the UN conference on AIDS, met Monday with US Secretary of State Colin Powell to discuss the future of East Timor.

 Prosecuting Terrorism in New York - Middle East Quarterly - Spring 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It is a subject that the USAO and all of us in New York have become all too familiar with, particularly since the terrorist bombing of the WTC on February 26, 1993, leaving six people dead, over a 1,000 injured, and the entire population in New York City permanently changed in some way.
First, the FBI and New York law enforcement were very soon called on to handle the investigation and prosecution of the nearly simultaneous terrorist bombings on August 7, 1998, of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar as-Salaam, Tanzania, which tragically resulted in 224 deaths of both American and African citizens.
Four of those were captured abroad and returned to New York to stand trial (two were returned from Kenya, one from South Africa, and one from Germany); two were arrested in the United States; and three additional defendants are in custody in England where we are seeking their extradition.

 Department of East Asian Studies -- New York University
As a part of the College of Arts and Sciences, the focus of the undergraduate program is primarily on language, history and literature and the way in which these three civilizations have interacted with the Western world to reconstitute received cultures into modern societies.
The graduate program is concerned with culture, media, and questions of representation as they relate to the formation of East Asian societies such as China, Japan and Korea in modern times.
Rather than pursue the practice of area studies in the traditional sense, the program is committed to a critical and, whenever possible interdisciplinary examination of East Asia’s modernity in a global configuration.
