North Dakota Flood
Looming flood prompts North Dakota evacuations
About 12,500 people are told to leave their homes, most of them in the city of Minot, as the Souris River swells to record levels. It is expected to rise eight feet more before cresting.
As the Souris River reached record heights, the North Dakota city of Minot abruptly evacuated more than one-quarter of its population Wednesday, telling residents that the floodwaters would inevitably overwhelm the network of levees and dikes protecting the core of the city.
About 11,000 people were evacuated from Minot and 1,000 from a neighboring town as Minot officials turned despondent about the chances of the city escaping a devastating flood.
The last time Minot, population 40,000, was hit by a major flood was in 1969. On Wednesday, the Souris, also known as the Mouse River, was slightly higher than it was then, and it is expected to rise another 8 feet before it crests next week.
"A lot of people are devastated," said city Fire Capt. Dean Lenertz. "They know they're going to have some severe damage to their houses."
The midsection of the country has been soggy for months as snowpack melt and heavy spring rains have swollen rivers from the Mississippi to the Missouri. The Souris' headwaters are to the north, in Canada, and the river loops down into North Dakota before doubling back across the border.
This is the 3rd straight year North Dakota has faced floods. Its ground and aquifers were already saturated before the torrential downpours of recent months. This year the swollen Missouri River threatens the capital of Bismarck, as well as South Dakota's capital, Pierre, and Omaha farther downstream.
Minot evacuated its downtown earlier this month as the Souris rose, but then rescinded the evacuations, confident that the danger had passed.
Then record rain hit the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in the last two weeks. Suddenly the Souris was rising again. The water gauge on the river at the Canadian border usually records 100 cubic feet flowing past every second. On Wednesday it recorded 33,000

In Minot, which lies in a deep river valley, the Souris was already lapping at the top of the levees. City and county workers and National Guard troops were hurriedly trying to erect dikes around key buildings, such as schools, libraries and City Hall.
"It's a ton of water," said Cecily Fong, a spokeswoman for the state's department of emergency services. "It just kind of got squirrely because of major precipitation events that we weren't anticipating."
"We're trying to protect as much infrastructure as we can," Lenertz said.
He marveled at the amount of natural disasters that his region and the nation have seen this year.

NEW YORK HERB RITTS EXHIBITION AT HOUK GALLERY
Herb Ritts (American, 1952-2002) was one of the most important fashion and glamour photographers of the late 20th Century, including Horst, Richard Avedon, Bruce Weber, and Helmut Newton. His photographs are a standard reference in our collective cultural memory, and the classical poses of celebrities and models with their clean lines and stylized forms are easily recognizable as his style.
Herb Ritts (1952-2002) foi um dos mais importantes fotografos de moda e glamour do Sec. XX, juntamente com Horst, Richard Avedon, Bruce Weber e Helmut Newton. As suas fotografias são referencias da nossa memória cultural colectiva, com um estilo único e facilmente reconhecivel pelas suas linhas clean e formas estilizadas.
Self-taught, Herb Ritts took his cues from the desert landscape surrounding his home and his close proximity to Hollywood culture, which is evident in the graphic quality and visual simplicity of his photographs and the heightened glamour of their subjects. He inserts a sense of Zeitgeist and location to a rigorous formalism that seems to be inspired by modernist photographers like Edward Weston, August Sander or Man Ray.
Herb Ritts foi autodidacta que tirou partido da paisagem desertica que rodeava a sua casa, para nos oferecer imagens de um grande rigor gráfico e de uma simplicidade visual que fazia sobressair ainda mais o glamour dos seus temas. O seu rigor formal parece ter sido inspirado nos fotografos modernistas como Edward Weston, August Sander e Man Ray.
Edwynn Houk Gallery will present a selection of Herb Ritts’ nude and glamour photographs. These images often play with fantasy, obsession, as well as social history. Often produced within the context of glossy magazines and advertisements like Vogue, Vanity Fair, Interview e Rolling Stones, these works have transcended into art while still affording us an opportunity to gaze somewhat uninhibitedly at celebrities, beauty and the body. Herb Ritts was a master in sharing a world with us that was created rather than merely documented. A major retrospective is planned at the J. Paul Getty Museum and will run from 3 April – 12 August, 2012.
A Edwynn Houk Gallery apresenta uma selecção das fotografias mais icónicas de Herb Ritts, onde o fotógrafo jogou com as fantasias e as obsessões, assim como com a história social de uma determinada época. Apesar de Herb Ritts ter trabalhado sobretudo para revistas e campanhas publicitárias como a Vogue, Vanity Fair, Interview e Rolling Stones, com luxuosos retratos das celebridades da época, o seu trabalho transcendeu muito o ambiente glamouroso e é hoje considerado fine art e um autêntico documentário sobre um mundo que não está acessivel a todos. Esta exposição na Edwynn Houk Gallery abrirá o apetite para uma maior retrospectiva da sua obra que está a ser planeada para o J.Paul Getty Museum, e que decorrerá de 3 de Abril a 12 de Agosto de 2012.
On view until June 25, 2011.
