PARIS (AP) ? Major champions Sam Stosur and Svetlana Kuznetsova won in straight sets Sunday, quickly making their way into the second round of the French Open on opening day.
The sixth-seeded Stosur, who won last year's U.S. Open and reached the final on the red clay at Roland Garros in 2010, beat Elena Baltacha of Britain 6-4, 6-0 in the first match on the main court.
"It's a bit of an early start, but always nice to get through it now," the Australian said. "You have the whole day and whatever else to recover and, yeah, enjoy."
Kuznetsova won the French Open title in 2009 and the U.S. Open in 2004 but is seeded No. 26 this year. Against Mirjana Lucic of Croatia, she won 6-1, 6-3. The Russian faced little trouble despite being broken twice in the second set.
No. 10 Angelique Kerber of Germany and No. 20 Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic also advanced to the second round, along with Americans Melanie Oudin and Irina Falconi.
Playing later were seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams and 2008 French Open winner Ana Ivanovic.
None of the top three men was in action, but former major champions Andy Roddick and Juan Martin del Potro were on the schedule.
Top-ranked Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer will be on court Monday, and Rafael Nadal is to begin his attempt for a record-breaking seventh French Open title Tuesday.
Fabio Fognini of Italy became the first man to advance, beating Adrian Mannarino of France 6-0, 7-5, 6-1. No. 21 Marin Cilic of Croatia was next, defeating Daniel Munoz-De la Nava of Spain 6-4, 6-4, 7-5.
Juan Carlos Ferrero, the 2003 French Open champion, also moved into the second round. The Spaniard beat Jonathan Dasnieres de Veigy of France 6-1, 6-4, 6-3.
The French Open is the only Grand Slam tournament that starts on Sunday. The other three all start on Monday.
"I don't think it's too big a deal now that it's more of a proper schedule," Stasur said. "I think the first year there was only a handful of matches, and, yeah, if you were on the schedule then, it really didn't feel like the tournament started. Nobody else was thinking that the tournament had started."
Stosur converted five of her eight break points, and briefly allowed Baltacha back into the match by being broken for the first set at 5-3. The Australian broke right back to take the set. In the second set, Baltacha won only four points on her serve, allowing Stosur to advance easily.
Kuznetsova raced through the first set of her match. After leading 3-0 in the second set, Lucic broke twice to get back to 3-3, but Kuznetsova then won the next three games to take the match.
The 30-year-old Lucic reached the Wimbledon semifinals in 1999, but she is now 11-44 against players ranked in the top 30.

International business means you are dealing with merchants from all over the world. Although the basic knowledge of business is the same, but when it comes to international business, then there are rules that you have to follow. Now, college or university students who are majoring in business and international business, they have to learn about these rules because they are expected to be involved in the international business as soon as they are graduated. So, how can the students learn about the international rules of business?
Well, the obvious way in how the students are able to study about the international business is by reading it from books. We all know that when it comes to books, some college and university students are not able to buy books. But if the students know where to buy it, they can get quite a bargain. The ucp 600 is one of the most popular books for students who are studying the international business. It is not difficult to locate the book because it?s easily found on online book stores.
The reason why this book is available online is because there are many college and university students who are looking for the copy of the book and they are not from US area, but also from other countries. Some students even share the books due to their limited financial ability and after the book has been used, the students are contributing the book to the library in case there are other students who are in need to get the information from the book.

It can be difficult to work with bridal hair combs as headdresses so it would be a good idea to give your hair stylist plenty of opportunities to work through different hair styles with you if you have your heart set upon a comb. Here are some of the issues you can come across and ways of getting past these obstacles to ensure your bridal hair comb looks fantastic all day long!
Firstly, bridal hair combs are generally not ideal for hair styles that are long with no pinned up styles added in. The simple reason for this is a hair comb relies upon a style with which to secure itself onto the head and if you haven't got a style, it just simply slips out. So, which hair styles are best for bridal hair combs. Generally an all up hair do is great because the bridal hair comb can then be securely positioned within the up part of the your style. Now if you buy a good quality one, one that has been especially made as a bridal hair comb, you will notice small eyelet hoops along the edge. These are to assist the hair stylist in securing the comb into position to minimise movement. Extra grips can be used along with the comb itself to ensure a secure position is maintained.
If you would like a half up and half down hair style, this works well for bridal hair combs too as the comb will happily sit in the up part of the style and can be secured as mentioned above.
It is well worth looking into having a bespoke headdress created just for you. The beauty with a bespoke service is that your hair style, dress, colour theme and wedding day theme are all taken into account, along with your budget to create something that is totally unique to you and your day. So shop around!
There are some fantastic pieces out there that incorporate vintage pieces of jewellery, Marcasite, fresh water pearls, semi-precious stones and Swarovski crystals. There are also stunning bridal hair combs that incorporate a vine effect. A vine effect is basically fresh water pearls on fine rope twisted silver wire that are then secured onto each side. Along with the extra securing hoops, the vine then twists around your hair style and seemingly floats in your hair. It is worth trying some out with your dress and your hair style to see which suits you the best. Like your wedding dress, you'll know when you try the right headdress for you!

Imagine this: An official in a position of trust helps you choose a company for a service important to your future. You expect that the advice will be in your best interest.
What you do not know is that the person?s office has a financial relationship with that company. The official may have received gifts like trips or stock options, or money for professional advice.
Would you wonder, then, just whose interest was being served?
This is what some American states are investigating in connection with the student loan industry. They are examining possible conflicts of interest when schools direct students to lists of so-called preferred lenders.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who once worked as a lawyer in a rotary kiln company, says colleges and universities often fail to tell about their ties to banks and other finance companies. His office has already settled cases including with two big lenders.
And Education Finance Partners agreed to pay two and one-half million. Neither of them admitted any wrongdoing. The money will go to educate students about loans.
In some cases, when students call a school for loan advice, they talk to a lending company employee. But they are not always told that.
Andrew Cuomo wants financial aid offices and lenders to follow a set of rules, a College Loan Code of Conduct. These would end financial ties between lenders and schools, including gifts and trips.
At the same time, lawmakers are seeking changes in the student loan system. Mister Cuomo was at a hearing Wednesday in the House of Representatives. He criticized the Department of Education for not doing enough to control the student loan industry.
A day earlier, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings announced a committee to study federal student loan programs. And last week, her department temporarily restricted the use of a national system of financial records on millions of students. She said officials were concerned about an increase in usage of that government database by lenders and other companies.
In another development, Sallie Mae, officially the SLM Corporation, has agreed to a buyout offer. Two banks and two private equity companies are offering shareholders twenty-five billion dollars. The deal is unusual. Loan companies generally do not produce enough profit to finance a sale based largely on borrowed money.

Chimpanzees and orangutans really do have personalities "like people", researchers say.
For years experts have debated whether great apes truly display human-like personalities - or if such behaviour is simply the anthropomorphic projections of human observers.
The research team used a statistical technique to "remove" any biases apparent in human observers of the apes' behaviour, and they say their findings suggest man and ape really do share "personality dimensions".
Continue reading the main story"[Chimpanzees] have the same social problems that we do, they want to make friends and find mates and sort of gain position within their society," says team member Mark Adams, a researcher who conducted the research while studying for his PhD at the University of Edinburgh, UK.
Dr Alexander Weiss, senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, who also worked on the study, agrees that chimpanzee personality is "highly similar" to that of humans.
Researchers categorise human personality into five "dimensions", sometimes known as "the big five", he explains.
"Those dimensions are neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness."
Previous studies into non-human primates suggest that chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) share these five dimensions with people, whilst orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus and Pongo abelii) display three of the five: extraversion, neuroticism and agreeableness.
These shared personality dimensions are best explained by our genetic similarities, says Dr Weiss.
"Humans and chimps share a common ancestor about 4 to 6 million years ago."
The common ancestor for humans and orangutans is thought to have existed fifteen million years ago, which explains why chimpanzees and humans are more similar in personality than orangutans and humans, says Dr Weiss.
Ape vs manThere is continuing debate amongst experts as to whether scientists should use anthropomorphic projections when studying how animals behave.
Dr Clive Wynne, professor of psychology at the University of Florida, Gainesville, US describes anthropomorphism as "a mistake" when "trying to understand animal behaviour."
"Human beings have a very natural tendency to project human agency into almost anything that moves," he tells BBC Nature.
"It's very deeply ingrained into our ways of trying to understand the world around us."
But despite our inevitable "human perspective" in the way we see the animal kingdom, he says, "since these animals are not us, although it is difficult, we should nonetheless struggle to get our own perspective out of the way and to try and see them for themselves."
The research team carrying out the study, which features in the journal Animal Behaviour, wanted to test the extent to which human observers of chimpanzee and orangutan behaviour might be biased in their reports.
"There's sort of a fear that human observers and 'raters' are projecting their own ideas about personality on to these animals," says Mr Adams.
But until now, this theory "hasn't actually really been tested in great apes."
Members of the research team - who also came from from Kyoto University in Japan and the University of Arizona, Tucson, US - issued questionnaires to around 230 people observing chimpanzees and orangutans in zoos and research centres in the US, Canada, Australia and Japan.
The survey described about 40 to 50 personality "items", which when grouped together make personality dimensions.
Continue reading the main storyThe human observers - called "raters" - were instructed to rate the apes' behaviour on a one-to-seven point scale for each personality item.
From the questionnaire results, the team determined the type of biases present in the raters' observations of the animals.
"We used a statistical technique to remove these observer differences before extracting personality traits from the data," explains Mr Adams.
"What we found is that controlling for these differences among observers made no difference, which suggests that the observers are not projecting their own ideas about personality onto the animals."
Dr Weiss says that the research "vindicates both the view that chimpanzees have personalities and perhaps the more controversial statement that their personalities are quite similar to those of humans."

It certainly looks like Samsung has redesigned the 10.1-inch version of its Galaxy Note, which it promised back at MWC. At a German event this week, a slimmer version of the tablet was snapped sporting a built in S-Pen slot that had also been sweating off some extra pounds. So much so, that the company will retail a dedicated pen holder to make your electronic doodling more comfortable.
We've also heard unconfirmed rumors that the biggest change to the tablet was internal -- with the Galaxy S III's quad-core Exynos chip replacing the original dual-core innards we'd seen previously. We reached out to the company on that point to see if it could shed any light, but its people weren't able to make any comment ahead of its official debut.

According to the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, this year about 76,250 new melanomas will be diagnosed. Cases of melanoma have been increasing for the last three decades. Incidence rates for melanoma have been rising for at least 30 years. Since May is National Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month, it?s a great time to consider ways of avoiding this terrible disease that impacts millions.
Track Moles with Free App An important way to fight skin cancer is by keeping track of suspicious moles on your body. Monitor mole changes and find out if that little mark on your skin is something potentially dangerous with the Doctor Mole Skin Cancer app, free for Android devices.
Straw Hat
Block the sun with a big floppy straw hat, perfect for trips to the beach. Pick up one in a style you love for just $5 at 10dollarmall.com. It will serve as added protection from UV rays?especially for your scalp which often gets ignored.
Sunscreen
When it comes to sunscreen, the higher the SPF the better. At Walgreens.com, two three-ounce bottles of Sport Sunscreen with SPF 50 are only $5. It?s water and sweat resistant which will help keep it on during outdoor activities. Lay it on thick?according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, putting on too little reduces the effectiveness of sunscreen by as much as 50%.
Beach Umbrella
Finding shade on the beach can be nearly impossible so create some by renting a beach umbrella. Check out rates at a local resort or shop. For instance, at Ron Jon Surf Shop beach umbrella rentals are just $10 for up to eight hours of use.
Lip and Face Protection
Not only can the sun cause cancer, it can also add years to your face. Protect your sensitive skin daily with Ocean Potion Natural Face Potion with SPF 50. For $5.99 you?ll also score a free tube of SPF 45 Lip Potion Lip Balm. And for a limited time when you buy one, the second is half off which means for less than $10 you should be stocked up all summer long.

A median price spike in December was enough to nudge the 2011 cumulative year-end median 1.29 percent above that of 2010 and end the year in the black. The cumulative year-end median in 2011 was 109,900; the cumulative year-end median price in 2010 was $108,500.

CHICAGO (AP) ? President Barack Obama and fellow NATO leaders solidified plans Monday for an "irreversible transition" in Afghanistan, affirming their commitment to ending the deeply unpopular war in 2014 and voicing confidence in the ability of Afghan forces to take the lead for securing their country even sooner.
The alliance leaders, meeting for a second day of talks in Obama's hometown, declared in a summit communique that while NATO will maintain a significant presence in Afghanistan after 2014, "this will not be a combat mission."
NATO and its partner nations formally agreed that Afghan security forces would take control of any combat next summer with NATO sliding into a support role. Obama called the transition "the next milestone" in bringing the nearly 11-year long war to a close.
"This will be another step toward Afghans taking full lead for their security as agreed to by 2014," Obama said as he opened a meeting of NATO leaders and other countries that have participated in the war.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Afghans were already leading security operations in half the country and were on pace to meet next year's targets.
"Transition means the people of Afghanistan increasingly see their own army and police in their towns and villages providing their security," Rasmussen said. "This is an important sign of progress toward our shared goal: an Afghanistan governed and secured by Afghans for Afghans."
Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai was participating in Monday's meeting, as was Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, whose country will have a critical role in ensuring Afghanistan's stability after NATO troops leave.
Zardari's presence has cast a shadow over the summit. The U.S. and Pakistan remain at odds over Pakistan's closure of key routes used to send supplies to NATO troops in Afghanistan. Pakistan closed the supply lines in November following a U.S. airstrike that killed two dozen Pakistani soldiers. While both sides have indicated the issue will be resolved, no deal is expected during the NATO meetings.
Obama thanked other nations in Central Asia and Russia for their roles in providing "critical transit" for supplies but pointedly made no mention of Pakistan.
As NATO leaders herald the Afghan war's end, they face the grim reality of two more years of fighting and more of their troops dying in combat.
Some NATO countries, most recently France, have sought to end their combat commitments early. The Taliban and its allies have warned that they are waiting to fill the void in Afghanistan after NATO leaves.
Obama is eager to show election-year leadership on the world stage during the Chicago meetings.
Following a meeting with Karzai Sunday, Obama said NATO's drawdown plans mean that by 2014, "the Afghan war as we understand it is over."
But he acknowledged enormous progress must be made for that to become a reality.
"We still have a lot of work to do, and there will be great challenges ahead," Obama said after his lengthy talks with Karzai. "The loss of life continues in Afghanistan."
Obama's words were echoed by other U.S. officials, who sternly warned that American forces and their allies should still expect to be engaged in battle even after Afghans take the lead.
"After this milestone in 2013 there still will be combat capability, combat authority and an expectation there will be combat," said retired Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute, the top White House national security council official in connection with the war.
Many alliance leaders, Obama chief among them, have a political incentive for trumpeting that drawdown plan, given the growing public frustration.
Sixty six percent of Americans oppose the war, while only 27 percent support the effort, according to an AP-GfK poll released this month.
In France, voters elected President Francois Hollande in part because of a campaign pledge to pull his country's 3,300 troops out of Afghanistan ahead of schedule. Since taking office, Hollande has said he plans to make good on his promise to bring combat troops home by the end of this year but will maintain French support for Afghanistan in other ways.
The U.S. and NATO will also maintain a sizeable and lengthy commitment to Afghanistan after combat troops come home at the end of 2014.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., a member of the Armed Services Committee who visits Afghanistan often, said that by 2014 Afghan forces, with the backing of international trainers and logistical support, "will be able to provide stability."
Speaking Monday on CBS' "This Morning," Reed said that Afghan leaders and the international community need to seek a political settlement "but the security forces will provide the foundation for the stability that is absolutely necessary as our troops withdraw."
Obama, in a trip to Afghanistan this month, signed a deal with Karzai detailing much of the U.S. commitment, including annual financing from Congress and support for development, health and education projects. The U.S. may also leave a residual troop presence in Afghanistan, though any such step would require approval from the Afghans.
At the NATO conference, leaders were also discussing how the international community would finance Afghan security forces after 2014. With none of the NATO countries having the stomach to pursue the war much longer, the only viable option is to support an Afghan army and police force capable of defending the country against the Taliban and its allies.
NATO estimates it will cost about $4.1 billion a year to finance the forces. The Afghan government will pay about $500 million of that, and the rest will come from donor countries, many of which are struggling with deficits and the specter of recession.
In a statement issued early Monday, NATO directed a review of the need for continued military support after ground forces depart. The alliance said it would "continue to provide strong and long-term political and practical support" to the government of Afghanistan and would "train, advise and assist" the Afghan military.
"This will not be a combat mission," NATO said.
While the Chicago meeting was not billed as a pledging summit, leaders were discussing where the rest of the contributions would come from. About $1.3 billion is expected to come from NATO members other than the United States. About $1 billion of that has already been pledged, a senior Western official said Sunday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to disclose the figures.
The U.S. and some nations outside the military coalition are expected to make up the $2.3 billion.
The challenge facing Obama and other world leaders will be to convince their own voters that Afghanistan is worth the investment. The war has already claimed the lives of at least 3,000 NATO service members ? more than 1,840 of them American ? and thousands of Afghans.
"I think it speaks to the level of commitment that even in these tough financial times these leaders are willing to make the political commitment to fund the Afghan security forces," Lute said.
