Elevated Rail Structure in St. Louis, Missouri, to be Transformed into Park
The Trust for Public Land (TPL) announced on December 30, 2005, that it acquired an abandoned two-mile-long rail corridor running through St. Louis's Produce Row and conveyed it to the Great Rivers Greenway District. The corridor includes a historic elevated rail structure similar to the High Line. It will be developed by the District into a biking and pedestrian route, connecting densely populated neighborhoods north of downtown to the popular Riverfront Trail along the Mississippi River and the Branch Street Trestle Connector, as well as the McKinley Bridge Bikeway leading into Illinois. Planning and design for the project will begin in 2007, with efforts made to connect it to a larger network of paths throughout Missouri and Illinois.

Congratulations to Speaker Christine C. Quinn
On January 4, New York City Council Representative Christine C. Quinn was elected by her fellow Council Members to be Speaker of the New York City Council. Quinn has represented Manhattan District 3, including Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and Hell's Kitchen/Clinton since 1999. She has been a longtime, vocal advocate for the High Line's preservation as public open space since the start of our efforts. Quinn played a crucial role in the 2005 West Chelsea rezoning, which included important provisions for the High Line's reuse. It was largely thanks to the hard work of Quinn on behalf of her community that affordable housing units were significantly increased in the West Chelsea rezoning and that building heights were reduced along a section of 10th Avenue to respect the context of the Chelsea Historic District. Along with Councilmember Gifford Miller, she also led the passage of a 2001 City Council resolution in support of High Line preservation and reuse. This resolution was the first major governmental backing for the project, and it paved the way for all subsequent High Line victories. She is the first female Speaker, as well as the first openly gay Council Member to hold the position. She has been a tireless ally in our work to create a great new public space on the High Line. Friends of the High Line thanks her for all she has done for us and wishes her much success as City Council Speaker.

Topping-Off Ceremony for Frank Gehry-Designed IAC/Interactivecorp Headquarters in High Line District
On January 18, IAC/InterActiveCorp celebrated the topping-off of its new Manhattan headquarters, designed by Frank Gehry. IAC/InterActiveCorp's CEO, Barry Diller, is a longtime supporter of the High Line project, and he expects that the new headquarters will play a central role in the future of the neighborhood. On January 11, Mr. Diller was quoted in the Wall Street Journal, saying that the High Line District, "is an embryonic neighborhood where we could be a participant... It'll be a wondrous environment to live, to work, to play." Located on a site between 18th and 19th Streets, on the West Side Highway, the IAC/InterActiveCorp headquarters has been designed by Mr. Gehry to evoke the sails of a ship, a reference to the nautical history of the area. The building is expected to open in March 2007.

2005 in Pictures
In November, the High Line was railbanked, ensuring its future as a public park. Railbanking has been our primary goal since Friends of the High Line was founded in 1999.
Federal Authorization/CITU:
In June, the federal body that governs the use of rail corridors issued a Certificate of Interim Trail Use (CITU). This concluded 20 years of legal disputes about the High Line and authorized railbanking negotiations to proceed. Above: Front page New York Times headline announcing the authorization.
Read the New York Times Article
Public Design Session:
In May, over 400 members of the public gathered at the Bohen Foundation, in the Meatpacking District, for a design presentation and Q+A with the team of Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Above: FHL's Robert Hammond addresses the group.
Read the Q+A
$18 Million in Federal Funding:
In August, Senators Schumer and Clinton and Congressman Nadler secured $18 million for the High Line in the multi-year federal transportation bill. Above: Senator Clinton walks on the High Line with FHL's Robert Hammond and Joshua David and other supporters to announce the funding.
West Chelsea Rezoning:
In June, the City rezoned West Chelsea to support the High Line's reuse, among other objectives. FHL brought 150 community members to a City Council hearing to support High Line-related provisions in the rezoning proposal.
MoMA Exhibition:
From April through October, the Museum of Modern Art exhibited the preliminary design by Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Above: Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, 3rd and 4th from left.
Design Web Site:
In April, FHL launched a comprehensive, interactive design Web site showcasing the preliminary design. Special thanks to PS and unitytheory for their Web design expertise.

Community Outreach:
In November, FHL hosted a pizza party and project briefing for residents of the Robert Fulton Houses, in Chelsea. It was one of a series of FHL events that engage a full range of community participation in the High Line project. Above: Peter Mullan, FHL's Director of Planning, addresses the group.
Kitchen / High Line Block Party:
In September, FHL teamed up with West Chelsea arts organization The Kitchen to present the Kitchen / High Line Block Party. More than 5,000 people attended the free event, which featured arts and crafts activities, music, entertainment, and food from neighborhood restaurants.
High Line viewing with Open House New York:
In October, more than 1,400 people viewed the High Line from the Phillips de Pury & Company auction house as part of the third annual Open House New York weekend.
Education Program:
FHL's education program, now in its fourth year, was based this fall at Hudson Guild. Second-graders learned about the High Line's history and future, toured the neighborhood, and built High Line models.
Dynamic Fundraising Events:
As always, FHL's 2005 fundraising events were as dynamic and unique as the High Line project. Top: Over 700 supporters gathered at Cipriani Wall Street for FHL's 5th Annual Summer Benefit. Middle: Anderson Cooper, left, introduces Summer Benefit honorees: environmentalist Ed Norton, City Planning Chair Amanda Burden, and photographer Joel Sternfeld.

FHL Accomplishments in 2005
FHL's biggest victory yet. Railbanking has been our central goal ever since we started FHL in 1999. It allows the High Line to be preserved for park use, and it enables construction to begin in 2006. Two advances in November 2005 allowed railbanking to take place: the City took ownership of the High Line from CSX Transportation, Inc., and signed a Trail Use Agreement.
City Partnership:
In 2005, the City of New York welcomed FHL into a successful collaboration to advance the High Line project. FHL is grateful to the Bloomberg Administration for fostering this extraordinary public-private partnership.
In June, the federal Surface Transportation Board issued a Certificate of Interim Trail Use (CITU). This concluded 20 years of legal disputes about the High Line's future and allowed railbanking negotiations to proceed.
$18 Million in Federal Funding:
In August, Senators Schumer and Clinton and Congressman Nadler secured $18 million for the High Line in the multi-year federal transportation bill.
$61.75 Million in City Funding:
City funding commitments to the High Line now stand at $61.75 million.
West Chelsea Rezoning:
In June, the City rezoned West Chelsea to support the High Line's reuse, among other objectives. Prior to City approval of the rezoning, FHL brought 150 community members to a City Council Hearing to support High Line-related provisions in the proposal.
Preliminary Design:
In collaboration with the City, FHL worked with the design team of Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro to complete a preliminary design for the first stage of the High Line's transformation (Gansevoort Street to 15th Street).
Public Forums and Input:
In May, FHL continued its successful series of public input forums, presenting the preliminary design to 400 New Yorkers at the Bohen Foundation, in the Meatpacking District.
MoMA Exhibition:
From April through October, the Museum of Modern Art exhibited "The High Line," an exhibition focused on the preliminary design.
Outstanding Reviews:
Reviewing the MoMA exhibition in the Wall Street Journal, Ada Louise Huxtable called the preliminary design, "a proposal that ranks with the best of them. This imaginative and sensitive scheme is so well conceived and its design development is being so well orchestrated… that it serves as an object lesson for [the] preservation movement...."
Front Page New York Times:
In June, the New York Times featured a High Line article and photograph on its front page: "Rusty Railroad On Its Way to Pristine Park; City Gets Approval To Transform Old Line".
Free Community Events:
In September, over 5,000 people attended the High Line/Kitchen Block Party hosted by FHL with the Kitchen, a West Chelsea arts organization. In October, over 1,400 people viewed the High Line from the gallery of Phillips de Pury & Company auction house; the event was part of the third annual Open House New York weekend. In October and November, the arts organization Creative Time presented an international exhibition of works inspired by the High Line's upcoming transformation, in an out-of-use meatpacking plant adjacent to the High Line. All events were free.
Education Program:
For eight weeks in the fall, FHL sponsored an education program for second-graders at Hudson Guild, culminating in a model-building project.
Strong Fundraising Events:
In July, FHL's Summer Benefit at Cipriani Wall Street honored Amanda Burden, Ed Norton, and Joel Sternfeld, attracted 700 guests. In the fall, FHL honored Meatpacking District pioneer Florent Morellet at an irreverent ball at the Roxy.

High Line Railbanked! Construction to Begin in 2006.
Dear Friends of the High Line,
We are thrilled to share fantastic news with you. Marking the single biggest advance for the High Line project since its inception, the High Line has been railbanked, clearing the way for construction to begin in 2006. (
Click here to read the press release.
Railbanking was our most important goal when we started Friends of the High Line in 1999. This is a historic moment for the project.
In order for the High Line to be railbanked, two actions took place. [1] The City of New York acquired title to the High Line from the railroad, CSX Transportation, Inc. [2] The City and CSX signed a Trail Use Agreement, permitting the rail structure to be used by the public as a recreational amenity.
Please join us in thanking Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, the Bloomberg administration, and CSX Transportation, Inc., for their hard work to achieve this crucial advance. We also thank the Speaker of the New York City Council, Gifford Miller, for his visionary leadership and funding commitments to the High Line; Senators Charles Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton and Representative Jerrold Nadler for the nearly $20 million in federal funds they've brought to the project; and all our elected officials for their longtime support, including Governor George Pataki, State Senator Thomas Duane, State Assembly Members Richard Gottfried and Deborah Glick, Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields, and City Council Member Christine Quinn.
On a related note, this weekend is your last chance to Creative Time's "The Plain of Heaven," set in an out-of-use meatpacking plant adjacent to the High Line. It's free to visit the 14 wonderful art pieces (many of them inspired by the High Line's coming transformation). The rail siding on the top level of the exhibition offers a great view of the southern end of the High Line, which is where construction will begin, starting next year. For more information,
click here
We could not have reached this exciting place without of all the Friends of the High Line.
Thank you.
Robert Hammond & Joshua David
, Friends of the High Line
PS. A note about "Groundbreaking." We had intended to mark railbanking, which paves the way for the start of construction, with a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony this month. But we have chosen instead to celebrate groundbreaking at the start of construction, in a few months time. We will keep you updated about plans for groundbreaking and any related celebrations via this E-Mail Newsletter. To subscribe, visit

From WENN.com
Whishaw wowed fans and critics with his debut turn as technical expert Q in the latest 007 movie Skyfall, but it was not the first time he has worked with Craig.
The pair shared screen time in Whishaw's first ever film, 1999's The Trench, playing World War I soldiers, but their professional relationship got off to a shaky start when the excited young actor injured Craig minutes after arriving on location.
Whishaw tells British magazine Live, ""It was my first ever job and I remember feeling overwhelmed because I'd never really met a professional actor before. In my first scene I had to dash down a trench and turn a corner and then bump into Daniel. We were wearing those really sharp, round World War I helmets and he said to me, 'Be careful,' pointing to the helmet. 'It's very sharp'.
""So I dashed down the trench, turned the corner and went crashing straight into Daniel. I cut the bridge of his nose. It was literally my first take on my first movie.""

LiveSomerset floods: rain leads to widespread flooding and road closures
This live event has finished
- More rain and saturated land has lead to more flooding
- The public are warned to be wary of coastal areas as gale force winds are predicted
- Red flood warning in place for Salt Moor and Northmoor including East Lyng, Burrowbridge, West Yeo, Moorland and Fordgate
- Many main roads are closed across Somerset
FOR updates from Monday, January 6, click here.

THESE photos taken in Burrowbridge were sent in by Kye Bickham.
He said:"As we drove into Burrowbridge we we're going down beside the River Tone and got a glimpse of the pumping station, we drove to the other side of the river to get a better look at the pumping station and that's where the photos came from."
DEVON and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service is reminding people to be aware of possible continued flooding later tonight (January 5) and into Monday, as predicted by the Met Office.
The Service is especially asking motorists to heed warnings not to drive through any floodwater, as it could put themselves and others at risk.
Area Manager Alex Hanson said: "It is impossible to tell how deep water is or the condition of the ground beneath. Your vehicle may be swept away or become stranded. Vehicles can float away in just two feet of water.
"If you do see floodwater on the road, do not attempt to drive through it; instead try to find an alternative route.
"If a road has been closed, it is for the safety of the public and closure signs should be respected. This is particularly important as schools and many people return to work on Monday and the pressures this may bring.
"Please take heed of the road closed signs and also be aware that satellite navigation systems will not necessarily alert you of alternative routes that may be flooded.
"Motorists should also be aware of the possibility of tree branches and other debris on the roads due to high winds earlier this weekend."
The Service offers further useful advice which could help prevent accidents during heavy rainfall and flooding:
People should bear in mind the following safety tips:
• Don't walk on sea defences or riverbanks.
• Avoid walking or driving through flood water.
• Keep children and vulnerable people out of floodwater.
• Take care or avoid crossing bridges when water levels are high.
• Take care crossing culverts as they are dangerous when flooded.
• If your vehicle stalls, leave it immediately if safe to do so and seek higher ground.
• Do not travel in heavy rain storms unless absolutely necessary. Keep an eye on weather reports on local television or listen to local radio.
• Do not attempt to walk through flooded areas. Even shallow water moving fast can sweep you off your feet and there may be hidden dangers such as open drains, damaged road surfaces, submerged debris or deep channels; these can cause serious injuries or even death.
• Do not smoke, eat or drink whilst in contact with floodwater and always wash your hands afterwards
• Following a flood in your home, make sure all electrical circuits are fully dried out and checked by an electrical engineer before switching back on can cause serious injuries or even death.
Flood Updates
The Environment Agency has flood warning updates on their web site every 15 minutes, please visit www.environment-agency.gov.uk/flood or ring their floodline 08459 881188 service.
SEND us your flood pictures at firstname.lastname@example.com
EA Incident Hotline No: 0800 807060 and ask to speak to the Somerset Flood Incident Duty Officer for the Bridgwater office.— @DJAFothergill 04 January 2014
The South Western Ambulance Service is urging people to stay safe by keeping informed.
A spokesman said: "The weather problems are at their peak during the high-tide periods so those in coastal areas should familiarise themselves with the local times and expected impact.
"The changing conditions on the roads is making driving very hazardous.
"The public can be reassured that all emergency, public and health services are working together to continue to provide a safe and effective service to all communities in the South West. However, it is vital that the public think about the most appropriate service for their needs before calling 999.
"Anyone suffering a life-threatening emergency should always call 999. If it is not a life-threatening emergency, we would urge the public to think about using other available healthcare services – NHS111, walk-in-centres, minor injury units, pharmacies etc; please visit the NHS Choices website for further information."
Roads are closed as follows:
A361 Main Road, Burrowbridge, Somerset Levels
A372 Langport, blocked due to flooding
A372 Othery, closed due to flooding
B3165 Sutton Hill, Long Sutton, closed due to flooding
New Road, West Lyng, closed due to flooding
Newton Road closed due to flooding between Middle Street (Yeovil) and Hooper's Lane (Stoford).
THE Environment Agency currently has 58 amber flood alerts and 27 flood warnings in place for the South West, slightly less than the outlook this morning.
A red flood warning is still in place for Salt Moor and Northmoor including East Lyng, Burrowbridge, West Yeo, Moorland and Fordgate.
The EA said this morning: "Rainfall totals of between 7 and 16 mm are forecast to fall throughout Sunday with further rainfall forecast for Monday.
"The River Tone level at Currymoor pumping station is 7.70 m and is stable. Water continues to spill over Athelney spillway into Saltmoor and Northmoor.
"Cuts Road, New Road and the A361 are impassable. The River Tone is too high to pump at Curry Moor pumping station.
"The drain level at Northmoor pumping station is 4.33 m and is rising. There is a risk of flooding to property and roads in Northmoor if this level exceeds 4.20 m.
"We continue to pump at Northmoor and Saltmoor pumping stations as much as tides will allow. The drain level at Currymoor pumping station is 7.79 m and is stable. Property flooding is possible when this level exceeds 6.60 m. Water will spill over Athelney spillway, across the A361 and into Saltmoor and Northmoor when this level exceeds 7.10 m.
"We are unable to pump at Currymoor Pumping Station until river levels recede."

CHARLOTTE, NC (RNN) - Whether or not there is an actual "war on women," there is a battle raging over their vote.
Women at the Democratic National Convention are hitting back against the Republicans and their discussion of the economy and women's issues, particularly women's reproductive rights.
"The Republicans think the solution to unemployment is hidden in our uterus," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, during a women's caucus meeting at the DNC on Tuesday.
The crowd often booed when a speaker mentioned that the Republicans approved a platform where abortion would be illegal in cases of rape and incest.
Speakers at the women's caucus, such as CNN's Donna Brazile and Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, preached to a cheering crowd, saying women should have control over their own health and not politicians, and they sang the praises of the Affordable Care Act – or Obamacare.
"For the first time ever, being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition," Richards said.
Under Obamacare, women will not have to pay higher insurance premiums, and will not pay for birth control – a point that many of the speakers lauded because Viagra was often covered under private health insurance programs.
Timi Burke, of Santa Monica, CA, got involved in women's issues "because of candidate Barack Obama" back in 2008. She believes that women's issues are often brought up as a distraction from bigger issues, such as climate change.
Burke often speaks at college Democrats in California, trying to get across to both men and women students that women's reproductive rights are also an issue for men.
"If you're a guy, do you want to be a 35 with four kids hanging behind you with women you never married? Who wants that on their head?" Burke said.
Several hundred people attended the caucus, and about a fourth of them were men.
Former Michigan state delegate, Francis "Bus" Spaniola, is not surprised that women's health reproductive rights are being discussed again.
"No matter what year it is, it's always been a fight and a battle," Spaniola said. "Both sides will never be able to convince the other to move to the center."
His grandson, Jordan Leitson, of Cleveland, OH, who is not a delegate but is along for the experience, said he sees how the Republicans are framing the argument, and agrees women's reproductive rights are about families, but that women are a part of those families and should be focused on how their health affects everyone.
Many of the women seemed annoyed that the issues of women's health and reproductive rights are back on the table because of legislation years and decades ago. Many were overheard saying in disbelief that they can't believe this is a fight again in their lifetime.
The speakers left Emma Brinkley, of Daytona Beach, FL, inspired.
"We have to keep this energy going, we have just 63 days left, and we need this energy to get people to register to vote," she said.
A handful of pro-life protestors were gathered outside the convention center, and although the interactions were tensely civil between them and DNC attendees, occasionally the crowd shouted down the bullhorn chants with "Four more years."

Notes from a Southern hemisphere dinner.
Colmant Cap Classique Brut Reserve – a nonvintage bubbly from Franschhoek in South Africa, this wine showed some nice fruit in the nose, and was crisp medium long and had excellent balance. Kicks ass compared to just about any Cava I've tasted. This is their top wine, 52/48 pinot/chard, and 28 months on the lees for complexity. Good show.
With smoked salmon tartare in calamari rings:
2006 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling – for my money the best Aussie Riesling hands down – classic nose, elegant middle and long clean balanced finish.
With crab mornay:
2006 Eben Sadie Paladius – this white wine is made up of just about every varietal you can think of - Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Grenache Blanc mostly. Faint tropical notes to the fruit, with excellent full body in the mouth an almost viscous feel, and bright finish. Now if it were only a bit cheaper….
With ostrich carpaccio:
2000 Morgenhof Estate – a Bordeaux blend and now mature, this wine had a ripe sweet nose with cassis, lots of soft tannins present, and a slightly warm finish. Very decent.
2000 Vergelegen – this estate wine (now labelled as Vergelegen V) is a cabernet wine that shows good cedar in the nose along with dark fruit and an earthy note. It was mellow and sweet in the mouth and finished with excellent acidity. My preference of the two.
With lamb medallions:
1992 Wolf Blass Black Label Cabernet Shiraz – their top wine is finally come around. Always expensive ($70 then, now sells for abut $150 for this vintage) the wine showed a ton of American oak – dill and some great fruit, eucalyptus and anise, sweet, soft and ready in the mouth and with good balance. Why don't they make Aussie wines like this any more?
1997 Eileen Hardy Shiraz – less wood showing here, but good fruit based nose not too ripe, round and almost elegant in the mouth, sweet, and with a nice following sweetness at the end of the long finish. Still in good shape.
With cheese:
2005 Ken Forrester 'T' Noble Late Harvest – a Stellenbosch Chenin with significant botrytis, this was a balanced wine, not too sweet and certainly not cloying. Citrus nose, and sweet vanilla dominated. Nice.

Family members say celebrated character actor Eli Wallach has died.
Wallach has played dozens of roles, but is probably best remembered from his film work in some classic westerns. Wallach played Tuco in The Good, The Bad and the Ugly and Calvera in The Magnificent Seven.
Others will remember Wallach as the conspiring Don Altobello from Godfather III. One of his most recent film appearances was in Wall Street 2.
However, older geeks are remembering Wallach today for the role that sent icy shivers down their spines when they were kids.
Wallach is one of three actors who gave life to Mr. Freeze on television's Batman . He played the role of Mr. Freeze (aka Dr. Schimmel) in the two-part episode, "Ice Spy/The Duo Defy".
The roles of villains on Batman were highly coveted by character actors and competition to get on the program was fierce.
Wallach, like many other actors of the time, says his children pushed him to land a role on the show. He donned Mr. Freeze's ice collar after producers, cast and crew found it too difficult to work with previous actor Otto Preminger. George Sanders originally created the role.
In his autobiography, Wallach said the role of Mr. Freeze generated more fan mail than any of his other roles. "I get more mail for him than anything I've ever done.
Eli Wallach was 98.
