The approximate location of the Farrel-Birmingman project area on the 1855 Geil Map of Erie County, N.Y. After the American Revolution, British troops refused to evacuate the areas east of the Niagara River. They occupied Fort Niagara and maintained their posts along the Niagara River until the Jay Treaty in 1796. A year later, Dutch investors acquired 3,300,000 acres of land in western New York, with the exception of eleven Indian Reservations and the Mile Strip along the Niagara River. Joseph Ellicott, chief surveyor of the Holland Land Company, began surveying the large territory in 1798. Within two years time Ellicott had completed the survey. In 1802, New York State secured Native American title to the Mile Strip reserve. Three years later, the surveyed lots were sold at public auction in Albany. The site that would in time become home to Farell-Birmingham is located on Lot 103 of the Mile Strip. Archibald McIntyre purchased the 132-acre parcel in 1831. Though stagnant in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, Euro-American settlement along the west bank of the Niagara River heightened after the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825. The City of Buffalo served as the western terminus of the canal. Completion of the canal facilitated the exchange of goods between the larger Great Lakes region and the Atlantic seaboard. In addition to marked trade, the canal also contributed to the development of towns along its route through New York State. The project area is located several blocks east of the former canal, currently the NYS I-190 Thruway.

PH_DoValidation=true; My MFA Search Advanced search MFA newsletter MFA MFA Library Jul Geography in the Service of Politics Geography in the Service of Politics 6 Jul 2003 Geography in the Service of Politics (From a report issued by the IDF Intelligence Branch - July 2003) General Characteristics: The propaganda effort to delegitimize the State of Israel is clearly reflected in the maps of 'Palestine' and the accompanying geographical information that appear in the textbooks used in the Palestinian Authority (PA) education system. The ideological and political messages in the textbooks deny the existence of the State of Israel, repudiate the connection between the Jewish people and the land of Israel, and emphasize the Arab-Islamic character of "Palestine" - which is described solely as part of the Arab and Islamic world. This indoctrination of the younger generation begins at an early age, continuing until the completion of studies in institutes of higher education. The anti-Israeli political and ideological messages are promoted through a variety of methods and approaches. The study of geography constitutes a considerable instrument for the advancement of such messages. Following are the conclusions of a review of Palestinian textbooks for the school years 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 and of research conducted by the Government Coordinator of Activities in the Territories: The State of Israel is totally ignored. This is seen through systematic omission of the name of Israel, replaced by "Palestine," which appears alongside the Arab countries of the region (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt).

@import "/styles/default-colors.css"; @import "/styles/newlook.css"; The West Bank Cedar Square West (my apt from 1984 circled) I lived in Cedar Square West (aka The Slum in the Sky , aka The Crack Stacks ) from August 1984 until February 1985. At the time, all the floors above the 20th floor in McKnight Tower were reserved for people without kids, and there was no subsidized housing above the 20th floor. It was a pretty clear divide in the building, and the apartments were much nicer once you got above 20. We lived on the 36th floor, which was the uppermost floor which went all the way across the building. 37, 38 and 39 were above us, but not on the other half of the building. The laundry facilities were on the second floor, which was a drag, especially since the building had only three elevators, and very often one was broken. up the stairs to our apartment. When he got in, he laid on the floor gasping for quite a while. Speaking of weather, one of the odd things about living on the 36th floor was having the skies be blue when I looked out the apartment window, with what looked like fog below us. At least once that fog turned out to be a low-lying cloud that was actually producing rain at ground-level. One of the things the West Bank was known for while I lived there was an abundance of bars, some of which had live music. Right at the bottom of Cedar Square West was (and is)

Permanent status negotiations began on 5 May 1996, but have not resumed since the initial meeting. Under the DOP, Israel agreed to transfer certain powers and responsibilities to the Palestinian Authority, which includes a Palestinian Legislative Council elected in January 1996, as part of interim self-governing arrangements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. A transfer of powers and responsibilities for the Gaza Strip and Jericho took place pursuant to the Israel-PLO 4 May 1994 Cairo Agreement on the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area and in additional areas of the West Bank pursuant to the Israel-PLO 28 September 1995 Interim Agreement and the Israel-PLO 15 January 1997 Protocol Concerning Redeployment in Hebron. The DOP provides that Israel will retain responsibility during the transitional period for external security and for internal security and public order of settlements and Israelis. Permanent status is to be determined through direct negotiations.

For approximately five hundred years of that time, during Dynasties 17 to 20, it was also the burial place of Egypt's rulers. Several locations are known to have been set aside as royal necropoleis, the most famous of which is the Valley of the Kings. The Valley actually consists of two valleys that run northeast from the slopes of a prominent ridge on a high plateau extending into the Western Desert [ ]. This plateau is composed mainly of limestone strata, the Theban Formation, laid down about thirty-five to fifty-six million years ago. The limestone overlays layers of "Isna shale" and chert. These strata were forced upwards later in the Tertiary, and, during the Pleistocene, heavy rains cut a series of

The New York Times gets an 'F' for geography Michael Brown, The Electronic Intifada, 18 December 2002 Every six months or so a report comes out detailing the woeful state of geographical knowledge held by many Americans. Usually people chuckle and wonder how it is that so many Americans think California is on the East Coast. After all, every rightly educated American knows it's on the Left Coast. But the consequences can be serious. This is particularly the case when it is The New York Times (NYT) butchering basic facts about where Israel begins and ends. Of course, as Israel has never defined exactly where those borders are, it is alarming when the NYT appears to be handing over vast swathes of new territory to Israel. The most commonly misplaced territory in the region is Shebaa Farms, a small patch of land that Israel continues to occupy on the border between Lebanon and the occupied Golan Heights. The news media regularly imply it is Israeli. The one thing we know is that the area is either Syrian or Lebanese, but most certainly not Israeli. Israeli-occupied yes, but not Israeli.

Our department offers a broad range of regional research and teaching specialties, covering Latin America, Western and Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Within the United States we have particular expertiseon the American West. This page describes some of the research done by Department Faculty members and graduate students, and has links and citations for some of our publications. Shaul Cohen’s primary regional focus is on territorial dimensions of the Israel-Palestine conflict, particularly the tactics and concepts that underpin geographic conceptions of space and place as reflected in conflicts between and within communities in Israel, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. Current work has extended his research to Northern Ireland as well. Recent publications in regional geography include: Cohen, S. E. and Frank, D. April, 2002 in press.
