1 Founder s Foresight Key to Courtlandt Place Preservation By Sallie Gordon 1. Entrance to Courtlandt Place, 1908 The early 20th century brought unprecedented growth and startling change to Houston. Population nearly doubled between 1900 and Seventeen railroad lines expedited 200 daily departures, and the financial center included six national banks. The Houston Ship Channel had become a reality, and the city s cultural stock rose with the establishment of the Rice Institute. The chaos of burgeoning downtown Houston was spilling into the once tranquil neighborhoods of Houston s elite, and real estate attorney Sterling Myer saw opportunity. He purchased land for a residential development outside the city limits, which in 1906 was platted into a 26-lot neighborhood modeled after residences of good class on the Private Places of St. Louis. Myer, an innovative man, had the foresight to attach six restrictive covenants to the deeds of Courtland Place. These covenants, written to protect the neighborhood s original character and design, have been crucial to the preservation of Courtlandt Place throughout the decades.
2 By 1912, 12 lots had been sold, six homes completed, and a structure for managing the affairs of the neighborhood put in place. There were no thoughts of the difficulties that would come to imperil the integrity of Courtlandt Place. A wall goes up in Courtlandt Place Tranquility was short-lived, however, when John Wiley Link moved to Houston in 1910 and soon began development of the area now known as Montrose. It was assumed that Myer and the Courtlandt Place trustees perceived Link s project as a threat to Courtlandt Place because in 1912 they took action. Architect William Ward Watkin, best known for his association with Rice University, was hired to design a brick wall at the west entrance of Courtlant Place to halt the flow of traffic from the growing Montrose development. (In 1906 Courtlandt Place had few neighbors and restrictive entrances were not part of the original design. Low-perimeter fencing was used for definition of the boundaries of the neighborhood.) Teas Nursery was hired to landscape the project. The estimated total cost of the project was $2, Postcard image of the north side of Courtlandt Place with #4 Courtlandt Place in the foreground.

3 By the end of July 1912, construction was almost complete. Surprisingly, Link, the newcomer to Houston, was able to outgun the well-connected, established residents of Courtlandt Place. He persuaded the City that residents of his addition needed a clear way to Main Street. Courtlandt Place Boulevard should be condemned, and the wall must be torn down after standing for less than a year. Courtlandt Place had received a blow to its original design and purpose, as well as its prestige. A Courtlandt Place resident mused, It was a brilliant move because Link was able to have one of the most elegant streets in Houston as the entrance to his neighborhood. By the eve of World War I, 14 homes had been constructed. The war slowed the pace of construction, but in 1920 Courtlandt Place still set the standard for comparison for other developments and remained a focal point for social life in Houston. Four more houses were completed by 1937, comprising the 18 houses of historic Courtlandt Place. 3. Courtlandt Place, circa Move to suburbs, social woes threaten stability After WWII, most families were abandoning their city residences for the suburbs. Memorial was the hot spot. The prestigious close-in addresses were in River Oaks. The construction of
4 the spur to the Southwest Freeway destroyed the expansive east entrance to Courtlandt Place and parts of two lots serious losses for the neighborhood. As the decades advanced into the 1960s and 1970s, perhaps the greatest threat to the block-long neighborhood was the spillover traffic from the Montrose bars and X-rated activities of the period. It was not unusual to look outside in the morning and see beer cans and drug paraphernalia strewn about and drunks asleep in the esplanade, said one Courtlandt Place resident during this time. Another lamented, I wish to inform you that, last night, one of the cypress trees in a pot, placed in front of my house at the main entrance was stolen. It takes a least two men and a truck to perform this act. 4. Courtlandt Place circa Many began to speculate that Courtlandt Place, like many of the adjoining neighborhoods, would become commercial. There was discussion of the possibility of updating the deed restrictions to allow for the construction of townhouses. Despite the power of deed restrictions, preservation of a neighborhood is dependent upon interested buyers. Courtlandt Place was out-of-date, run-down, and vulnerable, and preservation was on few minds.
5 Formal association created In the early 1970s, a few, but crucial to preservation of the neighborhood, number of families, recognized the allure of Courtlandt Place and became official residents. Realizing its deed restrictions were essential to the survival of Courtlandt Place, the new leadership met the multiple threats to the deed restrictions with aggressive counteractions. The solution to protecting the neighborhood from the unwanted Montrose intrusions was revisiting the actions of There was need for another barrier from Montrose in the form of a wall at the west entrance. Placing the neighborhood in the National Register was conceived as a vehicle for buying the street from the city, which would enable the street closure and be the first step in restoring the Private Place character of Courtlandt Place. 5. Number 2 Courtlandt Place. 6. Number 17 Courtlandt Place. Conflict often is a partner of preservation, and the story of Courtlandt Place is no exception. A few feared that designation as a National Historic District would bring unwanted changes, and there was strong opposition and threat of legal action against those individuals involved in the application process. The emotions were extreme. The project stalled for three years, but in 1979 eleven houses were listed individually in the National Register as a solution to the imbroglio facing the neighborhood. By 1980, Courtlandt Place was listed as a Historic District in the National Register. Courtlandt Place nego-
6 tiated the purchase of the street from the city, and the west wall was erected, providing muchneeded protection. By 1988, the east wall and gates were in place. Courtlandt Place once again was a Private Place. This now historic neighborhood, with its important links to our city s past, was on its way to becoming a model of preservation for Houston. The Civic Association had no formal structure for decision making and fiscal management after It operated for decades under hip-pocket arrangements, later under loose rules of governance. In 1989, a newly structured Civic Association was born, but had no formal or legal structure. Payment of the maintenance assessment was optional, so long-range planning and improvement projects for the common areas were still out of reach. In 1992, Courtlandt Place experienced another cliffhanger as residents debated the merits of installing an organization that called for an enforceable maintenance assessment. Some saw this structure as critical to the viability of the neighborhood, and others were opposed. By a close margin, the new form for the Civic Association was adopted. The scars of change are no longer evident on Courtlandt Place. Once, an example of country living, the neighborhood now sits between revived and bustling Montrose and Midtown. The strong sense of community that characterized Courtlandt Place in the early days is again evident, although in a form appropriate to the 21st century. The park-like common areas and the 18 historic houses stand intact, powerful reminders of the individuals who helped shape our city.

As a Congressional candidate I am often approached by various well-meaning special interest groups who urge me to pledge that if elected I will vote their way. These pledges have become common for legislators in Washington. It is tempting to sign some of the pledges I do support. But here is the one promise I will make: I will sign no pledge that will force me to prejudge any proposal. A representative to the U.S. Congress should be fair and impartial in looking at any proposed legislation.
Wally Herger has signed a pledge to not seek any earmarks for his district. Earmarks are unpopular, and I am sure some voters think signing such a pledge is a good thing. But not all earmarks are bad. What if a disaster like a raging wildfire or uncontrolled flooding hits the district and we do not have the financial resources to respond? This is where an earmark can provide much needed relief. Yet Wally has pledged that he cannot compromise or even try to help the people of his district, just to make a political point. Wally has asked for earmarks in the past, but now if he is re-elected no earmarks will be awarded in the district for the next 2 years, no matter what unforeseen circumstances arise. This will not help our persistent unemployment rate, which is already double the rest of the nation. Our district needs jobs now.
Legislators traditionally have gotten important bills passed by making compromises that give up something less important to get something much more important. Any legislator who has signed a pledge is unable to compromise, which leads to gridlock. This is one of the greatest problems in Washington today: legislators have lost their ability to find middle ground with members of the opposite party. As a moderate candidate who refuses to tie my own hands with grandstanding pledges I will be able to work in a bipartisan fashion for the good of all my constituents.
We can all agree that no one wants higher taxes, and any candidate can look good by signing a pledge against ever raising your taxes. But there is currently a pledge that has backfired and is costing us jobs! We have a tax loophole that actually rewards companies for moving our jobs from the U.S. overseas to China and India. Those who wrote the "No New Taxes Pledge" now say that removing the tax advantage of moving jobs overseas is a tax increase. Those who signed that pledge now have their hands tied and are helpless to close the loophole. We can all agree that keeping jobs in the U.S in the current financial crisis is more important than giving corporations a tax break.
I will make no pledge to any special interest group or political party. I will not judge any legislation until it is in front of me. I will make legislative decisions based solely on what is best for my people in my district.
I will, however, make personal pledges to you, the voters of the Second District: I pledge to abide by self-imposed term limits and not remain in office longer than 8 years. I pledge to limit my own pay and refuse the annual pay raise until Congress stops its runaway spending and balances the federal budget. These pledges I make will only affect me personally, and only serve you better in Washington.

One of our favorite amateur guy sites, Blake Mason, is celebrating their first birthday with a special video. We asked one of the site owners, Adam, about the video and special date.
Adam: I meant to say that this film also celebrates the first birthday of the site - yep, we'll be one year old this weekend!
Also, while I'm here this coming weekend sees the most requested and eagerly awaited film in the site's history - Adam gets fucked! Yes, at long last the site's most popular model gives up his ass on camera and it's a scorching hot 2-part update. I'm posting a preview film of the action when it's released on Sunday.
Congrats to Adam and Jason, co-owners of Blake Mason! They have a hot site that just keeps getting better and better - especially if you love amateur guys with UK accents ;) And be sure and stop by to see Adam - the model, not the photographer - give up his anal cherry!

Hillary Clinton earned her college degrees from Wellesley College and Yale Law School, so some people might be surprised to discover how familiar she is with Penn State football.
Clinton grew up immersed in Nittany Lion lore because her father and brother both played there. Her father Hugh graduated in 1935 and was a third-string tight end. Her brother, also named Hugh, was a 1972 graduate who was a backup quarterback.
That background led ABC's Jake Tapper to ask the secretary of state for her thoughts on Penn State, in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal and child sex abuse allegations. Here's what Clinton, who is traveling across the Pacific Rim with President Obama this week, had to say:
"Well, I, you know, I am just sick at heart about it. You know, I have done a lot of work on behalf of abused and neglected children over the course of my entire adult life and, um, my heart goes out to any child who is victimized and, you know, without commenting on the allegations they are disturbing to a great extent.
"I'm also the daughter and the sister of two men who went to Penn State and were on the football team. So we have a long tradition of supporting Penn State academically and athletically. And I can understand in the passion and emotion of the moments and before people really have a chance to actually think about what these allegations mean and what it says about, you know, values and priorities that people, you know perhaps were not as calm or considered in their response.
"But now it seems across the board everyone is focused on what we should be focused on, which are the children who allegedly have been victimized and making sure they're taken care of, that they're protected, that their families are given the support that they deserve and that justice is done, whatever the facts and the law might lead."

Michael Hiestand has covered sports media and marketing for USA TODAY, tackling the sports biz ranging from what's behind mega-events such as the Olympics and Super Bowl to the sometimes-hidden numbers behind the sports world's bottom line.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm over 21 years of age.
California Penal Code 647(f) prohibits being "drunk in public". Simply put, you are "drunk in public" under California law.
The preamble to 647 states, "Except as provided in subdivision (l), every person who
commits any of the following acts is guilty of disorderly conduct, a
misdemeanor...." Subdivision I [probably does not apply to you...it applies to other acts that amount to a felony.]
If your level of intoxication makes you unable to exercise care for your safety or for the safety of others, or your level of intoxication interferes with, obstructs, or prevents others from using streets, sidewalks, or other "public ways".1 A conviction for "drunk in public" can trigger probation, fines, and even incarceration. Worse still, a conviction will go on your permanent criminal record, and can be seen by prospective employers and licensing agencies. Therefore, it is advisable that you do everything possible to avoid this conviction.
Fortunately, there are a variety of defenses that a skilled California criminal defense lawyer could present on your behalf in an effort to reduce or possibly even dismiss your Penal Code 647(f) charge.
This is also an interesting charge because it can be rather hard to prove, unless of course, you had a beer can or worse a bottle of liquor.Ask a similar question
What was the level of intoxication? How can they prove how intoxicated you were? Were you given field sobriety tests? Blood test? Breath test? I suspect the case can be reduced to an infraction and you will be given a deal to get you to plead guilty. Maybe you will get a fine of no more than $250.00 or so but when you add the court costs and penalty assessment, your total could be at least $1,000.00
I am licensed to practice in the state of California. I handle cases from Sacramento to San Diego. I have handled cases in Federal District courts from Alaska and throughout the United States. My comments and opinions are based on California law and are based on the limited information provided in the question. Legal questions are usually fact specific and a few facts can and often does change the opinion I would give. It is better to consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction (your geographic area) and provide specific details regarding your case in private. You would get more specific advice. The contents of the conversations with your attorney are confidential and are protected from being revealed. The statements made in this public forum (AVVO) are not confidential and could be revealed. Therefore, you must be very careful in the details you provide. Do not disclose information that could be a crime or that could be used in order to prove a crime was committed. If you are in California and want to clarify any of my answers, feel free to contact me.Ask a similar question
I was in a friends car and had just had a drink equivalent of a about a shot, I was not given a sobriety test, or any other test. The code on the ticket is 41.27 c.

The God of Thunder - A limerick for kids
The thunder god sat on his horse -
A brave and noble filly -
"I'm Thor!" - he cried.
The Horse replied:
"Then fetch a thaddle, thilly!"
(Works best when spoken.)
Recollected from BBC 2 children's programme Play Away, recited by Brain Cant, circa 1974.
3 comments:
I'm sure it is a limerick at heart. We must embrace diversity in our limericks! To say this is not a limerick but a ballad stanza would be judgmental, divisive, and hurtful.ReplyDelete
@Karl - well, maybe not a true limerick; but it's more of a limerick than a ballad! - the 'true' ballad stanza has four lines and typically rhymes ABCB - as with:ReplyDelete
There lived a lady in the West,
I neer could find her marrow;
She was courted by nine gentlemen
And a ploughboy-lad in Yarrow.
These nine sat drinking at the wine,
Sat drinking wine in Yarrow;
They made a vow among themselves
To fight for her in Yarrow. (etc)
Or AABB as with:
My love he built me a bonny bower,
And clad it a' wi' lilye flour
A brawer bower ye ne'er did see,
Than my true love he built for me.
There came a man, by middle day,
He spied his sport and went away;
And brought the king that very night,
Who brake my bower, and slew my knight. (etc)
I think I've also seen AABA... But nothing like The Thunder God!
The plunder god cried from his horse,ReplyDelete
"I'm Loki, god of jest!"
As all the ladies turned and fled,
he'd nowt on, but a vest.

Early Works - My Birthday Blues - Poem by David Harris
You wake up in the morning
full of the joys of spring
just want to sing and sing,
fresh as a daisy
under a newborn sun
that's when my birthday blues begun.
The lonely feeling of being
the only one in the world,
no cards from the postman,
no presents from anyone
not even a many happy returns of the day.
Just another day passing
along life's highway
with no one to notice the stranger - me.
No smiling faces,
no happy words,
only sad things,
and tears of the lonely
my birthday blues linger on.
18 June 1981
Authors Note:
This was actually written on my birthday in 1981 but I cannot recall what prompted me to write it. I know there was sadness in the house because of the loss of a dearly loved pet the week before.

WASHINGTON – American Honda Motor Co. Inc.'s Acura luxury division expects sales of 20,000 units annually for its redesigned '05 RL model.

Gap stock price target raised to $27 from $26 at J.P. Morgan
Shares of retailers were hammered Monday, as a wave of fears about the impact of juggernaut Amazon.com Inc. on the sector were highlighted in stories and commentary from analysts. Department store chain Macy's Inc. , currently in the midst of store closures caused by weak revenue as shoppers switch to Amazon, led the decliners with a 7% fall, making it the worst performer on the S&P 500. Gap Inc. fell 6.5%, followed by Best Buy Inc. , down 6.3%. Best Buy has mostly escaped the pressure of the Amazon effect, but was hit Monday by a Recode report that Amazon has been hiring a team of people to offer in-home product installations, competing with Best Buy's "Geek Squad." Kohl's Corp. fell 4.6% and Nordstrom Inc. was down 2.7%. Abercrombie & Fitch fell 20% after it said it had ended talks on a potential deal. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. was down 2.5% and Foot Locker Inc. was down 2.3%. Costco Wholesale Corp. fell 1.7% after an analyst downgrade that suggested the company's strong fundamentals are being overshadowed by Amazon fears, following its bid for Whole Foods Markets Inc. . The SPDR S&P Retail exchange-traded fund was down 2% and is now down 11.7% in 2017, while the S&P 500 has gained 9%.
Shares of apparel retailers took a dive Tuesday, after Amazon.com Inc. appeared to take aim with the launch of its new Prime Wardrobe service, which allows users to try on multiple items at a time at home and receive a discount on items that are kept. Shares of Ascena Retail Group Inc.'s , the parent of apparel retailers including AnnTaylor, Charming Shoppes and The Dress Barn, tumbled 7.8%. Elsewhere, shares of Gap Inc. shed 3.8%, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. slid 3.6%, American Eagle Outfitters Inc. slumped 3.9%, Buckle Inc. fell 3.8% and Express Inc. dropped 3.4%. Among clothes-sellilng department store chains, shares of Nordstrom Inc. gave up 3.5%, Macy's Inc. lost 1.9% and Dillard's Inc. declined 4.5%. Meanwhile, Amazon's stock edged up 0.1%. Amazon sparked a selloff in grocery store stocks after announcing a deal Friday to buy Whole Foods Market Inc. for $13.7 billion. Analysts fear Amazon's move into a sector introduces a potential major competitor that will lead to lower prices and narrower margins. The SPDR S&P Retail ETF shed 1.8%, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.4%.
Gap Inc. was upgraded to outperform from perform at Oppenheimer on strength at both the Old Navy and Gap brands. The price target was raised to $28 from $24. Analysts highlight the 14.3% decline in Gap shares over the past month despite reporting earnings per share in the most recent quarter of 36 cents, which beat consensus and was up from 32 cents last year. Old Navy operates primarily "off-mall" and benefits from the "department stores' malaise," analysts wrote. Oppenheimer estimates that department stores have lost as much as $3 billion in women's apparel. "On average department stores have about 30% overlap with Gap's three big brands; no surprise, Old Navy is most exposed," the Oppenheimer note said. The Gap brand is also benefiting from adopting Old Navy's process of testing and quicker speed. Gap shares are down 0.2% in Monday trading, but up 18% for the past year. S&P 500 index is up 16% for the last 12 months.

Shares of Gap Inc. rallied in Thursday's extended session after the retailer posted better-than-expected quarterly results. The company, whose brands include the namesake chain of stores, Banana Republic and Old Navy, reported its first-quarter earnings rose to $143 million, or 36 cents a share, from $127 million, or 32 cents a share, a year earlier. Foreign currency fluctuations adversely affected its earnings per share by 3 cents, according to Gap. Revenue was flat at $3.44 billion while same-store sales rose 2% in the first quarter, led by an 8% jump in same-store sales at Old Navy. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast earnings of 29 cents a share on revenue of $3.39 billion. The company also reaffirmed its 2017 EPS outlook of $1.95 to $2.05. Wall Street is projecting full year EPS of $1.99. Gap shares climbed 6.1% after hours.

the gang's all here by Blue-eyed-KelpieWatch
©2006-2017 Blue-eyed-Kelpie
taken at Turriff show. the ridden clydesdale class is a fairly recent addition to the showing classes, a great big clydesdale seems to be the cool new thing to be seen sat upon around the show grounds, as can be seen here, and this is only about half of the class!
Just beautiful. I love how you've managed to capture the light-hearted interaction between the riders! And the horses, of course, are gorgeous. Great photo.
dam that is one awesome pic there such great horses and the colours in that pic are awesome there so awesome to ride i ride a half clyde at the riding centre where i work
i love how they all match, and they are each so beautiful!
thanks, i this is probably my favourite pic i took that day, it shows the light-hearted side of showing (cos some people take it way to seriously). this pic was taken as they were waiting to go into the judging ring, and they were all just wandering about together chatting, there was no obvious rivalry or snobbery, it was just nice to see.
i agree about some people taking it so seriously, i hate how dramatic it can all get... geez! how nice and refreshing that moment must have been, and you captured it very well!
Ah, Clydesdales are one of my favorite breeds! Great shot--you got a great moment with the horses, but also with the riders' interactions.
thanks, yeah i wouldn't mind a clydesdale to ride, it would be quite a change from my 14.2hh dales! though i think i would definately need a stepladder to get on one of those!

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Roger Federer and Marat Safin rolled to easy victories Wednesday against first-time opponents to reach the Australian Open's third round, where the familiarity factor will be much higher: They'll be playing each other.
"I'm happy to be playing Marat; we have fought some battles," Federer said after ousting error-prone Evgeny Korolev of Russia 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 in just 86 minutes. "We had the epic in 2005."
That was a semifinal thriller here that Safin won in a 9-7 fifth set en route to the championship. Federer, seeking to tie Pete Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slam titles, has won their last three meetings, including the last two at Wimbledon.
Although Federer's No. 2 ranking is 24 places higher, Safin's talent, unpredictability and famed volatility set the stage for an early marquee matchup.
Safin, a former world No. 1, beat Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-5, 6-2, 6-2. He will turn 29 next week and has said he is unlikely to play after this year, so he's trying to enjoy what could be his farewell tour.
"I have nothing to lose," Safin said. "I'm going to go for it. Whatever comes, comes. He knows how to play against me; I know how to play against him."
The winner would be on track for a possible semifinal meeting against defending champion Novak Djokovic, who traded shots with No. 68 Jeremy Chardy for nearly a set before the Frenchman faltered.
Third-ranked Djokovic cruised the rest of the way for a 7-5, 6-1, 6-3 win.
"I'm playing better and better which is very encouraging," Djokovic said. "I really stepped it up."
His fellow Serbs Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic advanced on the women's side, though they finished with different attitudes.
Ivanovic lost last year's final here to Maria Sharapova, who is out with a shoulder injury. She was happy she played better in her 6-3, 6-2 victory over Italy's Alberta Brianti than she did in the first round.
Top-ranked Jankovic, seeking her first Grand Slam title and recovering from illness, felt she regressed while ousting Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium 6-4, 7-5.
"I wasn't really happy with my game, what I was doing on the court," said Jankovic, who needed treatment on her right foot in the first set. "I have to clean up my game a little bit and try to do the right things for my next match."
Seventh-seeded Andy Roddick had his hands full against Xavier Malisse of Belgium, a former top 20 player who had to go through qualifying because his ranking has fallen to No. 195 due to a wrist injury.
Roddick, a semifinalist here three times and the 2003 U.S. Open champion, rallied for a hard-fought 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (1), 6-2 victory. Malisse seemed to lose steam after forcing the third-set tiebreaker, where he won only one point.
Roddick next faces 36-year-old Fabrice Santoro of France, who had an even tougher time, going five sets and more than four hours to beat Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber, the No. 32 seed.
Former Wimbledon runner-up David Nalbandian, who won in Sydney last week and was seeded 10th, was knocked out by unheralded Yen-hsun Lu of Taiwan 6-4, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 in just under four hours. The 25-year-old Lu had never advanced past the second round in 12 previous Slams.
Djokovic next faces Bosnian-born Amer Delic, of Jacksonville, Florida. Delic, who got a spot in the draw as a lucky loser from qualifying when other players withdrew, rallied to beat No. 28 Paul-Henri Mathieu of France 1-6, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), 9-7.
Delic beat American Taylor Dent in the first round. Dent's father Phil, a former Australian Davis Cup player, complained about unruly behavior from flag-waving Bosnian fans.
Delic anticipated an emotion-charged environment in the next round, saying he'd appeal for calm among his supporters, and expected Djokovic would do the same.
No. 3 Dinara Safina overcame 44 unforced errors in a 6-7 (3-7), 6-3, 6-0 win over fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova and will next play No. 25 Kaia Kanepi of Estonia.
Safina lost to a qualifier here in the first round last year but went on to be runner-up at the French Open, take the Olympic silver medal and reach the U.S. Open semifinals.
Unseeded Jelena Dokic, a former Wimbledon semifinalist making her first appearance in the main draw of a Grand Slam after a three-year absence to deal with personal problems, ousted 17th-seeded Anna Chakvetadze 6-4, 6-7 (4-7), 6-3.
No. 10 Nadia Petrova beat India's Sania Mirza. Also advancing were No. 7 Vera Zvonareva of Russia, No. 15 Alize Cornet of France and No. 19 Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia.
No. 26 Ai Sugiyama of Japan defeated Nathalie Dechy of France and next faces Jankovic.
Among the men's seeded players advancing were No. 11 David Ferrer of Spain, No. 15 Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland, No. 19 Marin Cilic of Croatia, No. 20 Tomas Berdych of Czech Republic, and No. 21 Tommy Robredo of Spain and American Mardy Fish, seeded 23rd.
In the doubles, second-ranked Bob and Mike Bryan opened with a victory, as did Serena and Venus Williams, the Beijing Olympics doubles gold medalists on the women's side.

Plovdiv (Bulgarian: Пловдив; dated: Пловдївь) is the second-largest city in Bulgaria after the capital Sofia with a population of 339,077 inhabitants as of December 2012. It is the administrative center of Plovdiv Province and the municipalities of the City of Plovdiv, Maritsa municipality and Rodopi municipality, whose municipal body had a population of 403,153 inhabitants as of February 2011. It is an important economic, transport, cultural and educational center, as well as the second-largest city in the historical international region of Thrace after Istanbul. It is the tenth-largest city in the Balkans after Istanbul, Athens, Belgrade, Bucharest, Sofia, Thessaloniki, Zagreb, Skopje and Tirana.
Plovdiv's history spans 6,000 years, with traces of a Neolithic settlement dating to roughly 4000 BC, ranking it among the world's oldest cities. Plovdiv was known in the West for most of its recorded history by the Greek name Philippopolis (Φιλιππούπολις), which was introduced in 340 BC. Plovdiv was originally a Thracian city before later becoming a Greek and a major Roman one. In the Middle Ages, it retained its strategic regional importance, changing hands between the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires. It came under Ottoman rule in the 14th century. In 4 January 1878, Plovdiv was liberated from Ottoman rule by the Russian army and was within the borders of Bulgaria until July, the same year, when it became the capital of an autonomous Ottoman region of Eastern Rumelia. In 1885, it and Eastern Rumelia itself became part of Bulgaria.
Plovdiv is situated in south-central Bulgaria on the two banks of the Maritsa River. The city has historically developed on seven syenite hills, some of which are 250 m (820.21 ft) high. Because of these hills, Plovdiv is often referred to in Bulgaria as "The City of the Seven Hills".
Plòvdiv is host to cultural events such as the International Fair Plovdiv, the international theatrical festival "A stage on a crossroad", the TV festival "The golden chest". There are many remains preserved from antiquity such as the ancient Plovdiv Roman amphitheatre, Roman odeon, Roman Stadium, the archaeological complex Eirene and others.
The oldest American educational institution outside the United States was founded in Plovdiv in 1860, which was later moved to Sofia – today's American College of Sofia.
