Blake breezes past fellow American Warburg at San Jose ATP
A wild card, Levine posted a 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 victory over Steve Darcis of Belgium on Monday.
Blake is trying to erase memories of Sunday's shocking loss to Japanese teen Kei Nishikori in the final of the Delray Beach tournament.
Nishikori, who became the first Japanese player since 1992 to win an ATP singles title, also is in the field here on a sponsor's exemption. He won't see Blake unless the players reach the final.
But he could get a chance to pull off his second giant-killing episode in as many weeks if he gets past Diego Hartfield in the first round.
His second round opponent would likely be top seeded American Andy Roddick, who begins opening round play on Wednesday.
Picked off by Nishikori in the Delray Beach semi-finals, American Sam Querrey lost again Tuesday to German qualifier Denis Gremelmayr 5-7, 7-6 (7/1), 6-3.

"The Visiting Chef Series is better than any NCAA competition everybody wins," said Ken Toong, director of food services at UMass Amherst.

The Visiting Chef Series has been going on since the end of January and will continue through mid-April, featuring a chef from one of the eight universities each week.
Ngo doubt about it, this is a race to catch
The festival falls on the full moon day of the 10th month on the lunar calendar. This year, it falls on November 24. It usually features many other cultural and entertainment activities, chiefly at Khmer pagodas, but the boat races receive top billing. The races, showcasing the martial spirit of the Khmers, have attracted 50 boats this year, each representing a pagoda or village, and will be held on November 23-24. "Ten of these boats will be crewed by women," organisers said. A ngo boat has a curved bow and tail and is managed by 50 or 60 skilful rowers. The trees used for making the boat must be very old, often 24-30m in length. "As the boat is sacred it must be made in the yard of a pagoda and kept in the pagoda," Lam Reng, head of the Soc Trangs Nationalities Committee, said.

It's a comfy setting for a light breakfast, a cup of coffee, or soup and sandwiches.
Tall, arched windows bring lots of light into the two-level coffeehouse, where food is secondary to the relaxing atmosphere. You can pick from various pastries, quiches, and meat and vegetarian sandwiches that are served with fresh fruit and potato salad.
Housed in a 1920s Spanish Revival building, Claire de Lune no longer has wireless Internet access because "people were camping out," said an employee.
The breakfast bagel, with red onion, cheddar and egg, served with kiwi, grapes and melon, is a decent choice, as is the spinach quiche. Mimicking Starbucks' Frappuccino, Claire de Lune serves a frosty mocha; if you want it blended with a banana, ask for the Funky Monkey.
Oh the weather outside is frightful …
San Fran went on to win the Super Bowl, The year following that the Giants were led to the playoffs by Simms and got to the playoffs and lost to the Bears. The next year the Giants won the Super Bowl. Contrast that with Eli, who was give a much better team then Simms had in 1980, but can't get anything done. Maybe after a few more years of Eli, people will say that they didn't give Simms enough credit. Had the Giants not benched Simms under Hanley they might have another Super Bowl ring. .
