Southeastern Louisiana still undefeated after beating XU
March 3, 2013
HAMMOND, La. — Southeastern Louisiana remained unbeaten this season with a 7-0 women's tennis victory against Xavier University of Louisiana.
The Lady Lions, who compete in NCAA Division I, are 9-0. The Gold Nuggets, ranked 11th in the NAIA, are 4-5 after their fourth loss in five duals, and it's the first time this season they're below .500. All XU losses this season are to NCAA D-I opponents.
Although Xavier lost to SLU for the third consecutive season, the Gold Nuggets showed improvement. Three XU players — Amanda Materre, Simone-Alyse Ewell and Amber Brown — won first sets in singles. The Nuggets won 51 singles games, more than they did in the previous two meetings against SLU combined (38). And it was three games more than the Nuggets won in singles Friday in a 6-3 home loss to Southern.
"For some reason, matches play out in weird ways," XU coach Alan Green said. "I feel much better about how we played today than in the last match. I feel good about our team moving forward."
Materre lost 0-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-1 to Nastya Tokareva at No. 2. Renee Villarreal beat Ewell 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 at No. 4. And Adriana Castillo defeated Amber Brown 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 1-0 (10-5) at No. 6. Tokareva is 9-0 this semester, and Villarreal is 7-0.
Sarah Kriem and Reginka Nychytailova clinched the doubles point with their 8-4 victory against Kourtney Howell and Brion Flowers at No. 1. Valya Rusakova clinched the dual with her 6-3, 6-3 victory against Flowers at No. 3 singles.
The Xavier women's and men's home dual against Shorter, scheduled for Monday, was postponed to April. The next competition for the Gold Nuggets and Gold Rush will be Friday in the AUM Invitational at Montgomery, Ala. Opponents and times have not been announced.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the
(National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
(GCAC). Xavier fields men's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis and track and field and women's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis, track and field and volleyball.

I'm going to be picking up about 4oz. of leaf EKG, that should be enough for 25 gallons of Evan's mild recipe. Evan and I are doing 10 gallons, so some lucky individual can use the rest. That's asuming Evan doesn't want to use his pellets.
Hagen, Devaspawn are you guys in?
Gotcha, but a week and a half still isn't very direct, is it?
What about edibles? Dude's pulled pork sammiches were good, but I was thinking a crockpot full of Swedish Meatballs would be well-matched to this endeavor. One need only stab a meatball when the mood strikes, or they could be placed on a bun if one so desired. What say the invitees?

Meanwhile, French actress Julie Gayet kept her cool while making bets, thanks to a vibrant Indian parasol. Gayet disclosed she'll soon be fronting a British pop group. "I've been recording an album with a group of musicians based in Manchester [England]," said Gayet, declining to name names or that of the "well-known" star who's penned some of the band's lyrics.
MOURET DAY: Roland Mouret will make his Paris couture week debut on July 4 with the unveiling of his new, high-end capsule collection. RM by Roland Mouret, featuring 21 tailored looks, will be delivered to stores in November. The show will take place at 9:45 a.m., although the venue has yet to be revealed. "I feel like I have come full circle: first London, then New York and now Paris. I am bringing a slice of each culture back to the place where I started. I can't wait," the designer said. The collection is Mouret's first under 19RM, which he formed in the fall with Simon Fuller, the founder of 19 Entertainment Ltd., the London-based media and branded entertainment firm.
FASHION HONORS: Naoki Takizawa is the latest fashion designer to be honored by France. The former Issey Miyake designer will be made a chevalier of art and letters in a ceremony in Paris on Friday. Takizawa plans to launch his own fashion line in New York in September with the backing of Miyake.
SWEET MONTANA: Old-fashion heroes never die in Paris. They get invited to make pastries. At least that's the case with Claude Montana, who, earlier this month, unveiled a cake he "designed" for the legendary Café de la Paix. He calls the white chocolate and passion fruit confection set on a coconut biscuit "Passion Victim." Its shape vaguely resembles the bottle of his 1989 fragrance, "Parfum d'Elle." He promised that the cake was just as light as the fragrance smelled. Montana said he hadn't disavowed the past. "I want to write a book about the people I met and appreciated during my career," he said.

The Mizuta Museum of Art houses a collection of Ukiyo-e prints. The Japanese term translates as "pictures of the floating world," and it provided the central theme for Studio SUMO's design: Gallery volumes appear to float within a concrete wrapper.
On the north end of the building, the delicacy of the Ukiyo-e prints being displayed within prevented the use of glass. Here, wood panels, covered with trellises that will host climbing vines, contrast with the concrete.

The lower level of the two-story museum is sunk halfway below grade. A glass-enclosed information center (which can also host lectures and some exhibitions) is surrounded by a terrace accessed by stairs.
The main circulation for the museum is a series of ramps) that are contained within the wrapper but not isolated from the elements.

Pieces from the university's collection of Ukiyo-e prints are rotated from off-site storage and into carefully-crafted display cases in one the musem's galleries. With black-stained wood floors, and black-painted walls and ceiling, the focus in the room is placed squarely on these "pictures of the floating world."

With black-stained wood floors, and black-painted walls and ceiling, the focus in the room is placed squarely on these "pictures of the floating world."
One of two galleries on the upper level is used for the display of paintings and other works that can withstand exposure to more standard light levels.
Two program requirements are combined in one neat container at Josai University, a private institution in Japan's Saitama Prefecture, near Tokyo. The school wanted an appealing, environmentally optimal home for an exceptional collection of Japanese art assembled by its founder, Mikio Mizuta. And since the best-available site on the built-up campus was right at its public entrance, the project took on a second key role as a university gateway.
The constricted site, its 30-foot height limit, and the desire to save most of its existing trees dictated the overall building form: a shoe-box-like shape two stories high and about 100 feet long. But the resulting structure is anything but a simple square.
The building's initial impression is of boxes within a box—of its galleries hovering inside a somewhat larger container. This composition, says partner Sunil Bald, AIA, of New York–based Studio SUMO, "is an allusion to the floating world," a reference to the museum's collection of Ukiyo-e (literally "pictures of the floating world"), a genre of paintings and woodblock prints. A series of ramps, sheltered but not fully enclosed, occupy the space between the galleries and the outer container.
These ramps, dimensioned for moving freight as well as visitors, lead to destinations on several levels. The lower floor, sunken a half level into the ground, houses various backup facilities and, most visibly, a glass-walled information center that doubles as a lecture hall and additional exhibition space. The upper part of the structure is occupied by two galleries, their floor levels 1 meter apart.
The long flanks of the outer container are composed of 52 concrete elements, each 4 feet wide and ranging from 28 to 21.5 feet high, bending 90 degrees at the top to span the 11-foot-wide ramps. Slits along the vertical joints provide daylight and ventilation for the spaces within. Besides sheltering the ramps, the concrete helps protect the galleries against solar heat gain and climate extremes.
Fabricating the concrete elements posed some unusual challenges. They had to be cast on edge, with forms that could be altered a bit for each unique piece; their vertical surfaces are not quite rectangular, but angled slightly to follow the slope of the ramps.
Visitors can reach the two upper-level galleries by following the ramps halfway up the building to the gallery-reception area. To one side of this lobby is a gallery designed to accommodate the museum's prized Ukiyo-e prints and other treasures, which because of their fragility are rotated here from off-site storage; only a fraction of the collection is on view at one time. A few steps up on the other side, a second gallery exhibits less-vulnerable works such as 20th-century paintings. One can exit directly to the top of the ramp sequence from there.
Special attention was given to the care of the woodcuts and other antiquities in the first gallery. The architects visited many other museums that exhibited such art and distilled what they observed, designing the cases to exacting environmental standards. In accordance with Japanese tradition, the cases allow for the display of works either vertically or horizontally. And the soft, even case lighting is made more effective by minimal ambient light levels in the windowless space.
Today, it is unusual for American architects to carry out work in Japan. While many U.S. firms had projects there to the 1990s, such commissions have become quite rare. Significantly, this is not the first building on the Josai campus by Studio SUMO (whose name is not, as one might assume, of Japanese origin, but a compound of the names of the two founding principals: Bald and Yolande Daniels, Assoc. AIA, known to some by the nickname "Momo"). The firm designed Josai's 75,000-square-foot School of Management, which was completed in 2006. That sleek but no-nonsense facility became a university asset. And, as this museum, it was designed with Obayashi's contractors and design department.
Now the museum is another object of pride for the school, and one that is shared with and appreciated by the surrounding community. And ranging as they do from glass-encased to dimly lit, the galleries offer a variety of spaces for the art—Ukiyo-e prints or otherwise—to float, while the world stays grounded.
