According to the CIC, InfoCision, came to Gallipolis in 2000, leasing lhrough th~ CIC a privately-owned building in lhe 200 block of Third Avenue. Wit.hin a record 14 days, the building was renovated for occupancy at the CIC's expense to meet the needs of lnfoCision. Over $1 million has been spent on the building to attract InfoCision and make their location in Gallipolis possible. "Whalever requests lnfoCision made of the CIC for leasehold improvements these past six years. including both remodeling expense as well as interior decorating, their requests were always met," past CIC President Jim Morrison said. "The CIC has done everything possible to meet bolh !.heir wishes as well as their needs, with no hesitation, to maintain a satisfied occupant." As far as lnfoCision 's charges that the CIC offered the company a one-year lease at double the rent or face eviction, Wi seman declined to comment. "We do not feel the media is the appropriate forum to negotiate tbe terms of the lease," Wiseman said. According to InfoCision, lhe company would prefer to keep doing business in Gallipolis a~ opposed to moving their operation elsewhere. such as Pomt Pleasant Mason County is anxious to attract the firm. Brubaker said. However, InfoCision will not be "strong-armed" into signing a new lease that forces it to pay twice as much, Brubaker said. Negotiations betweert InfoCision and the CIC continue, said Wiseman. InfoCision is lhe world's third largest privately held teleservice company, and a leading provider of inbound and outbound marketing for non-profit, religious and political organizations. according to its press release.

BY MICHEUE MIUER MMILLER@MYOAILYTRIBUNE.COM ence, but no notification of the event was given to the Ohio Valley Publishing Co. According to the CIC, InfoCision, came to Gallipolis in 2000, leasing lhrough th~ CIC a privately-owned building in lhe 200 block of Third Avenue. Wit.hin a record 14 days, the building was renovated for occupancy at the CIC's expense to meet the needs of lnfoCision. Over $1 million has been spent on the building to attract InfoCision and make their location in Gallipolis possible. "Whalever requests lnfoCision made of the CIC for leasehold improvements these past six years. including both remodeling expense as well as interior decorating, their requests were always met," past CIC President Jim Morrison said. "The CIC has done everything possible to meet bolh !.heir wishes as well as their needs, with no hesitation, to maintain a satisfied occupant." As far as lnfoCision 's charges that the CIC offered the company a one-year lease at double the rent or face eviction, Wi seman declined to comment. "We do not feel the media is the appropriate forum to negotiate tbe terms of the lease," Wiseman said. According to InfoCision, lhe company would prefer to keep doing business in Gallipolis a~ opposed to moving their operation elsewhere. such as Pomt Pleasant Mason County is anxious to attract the firm. Brubaker said. However, InfoCision will not be "strong-armed" into signing a new lease that forces it to pay twice as much, Brubaker said. Negotiations betweert InfoCision and the CIC continue, said Wiseman. InfoCision is lhe world's third largest privately held teleservice company, and a leading provider of inbound and outbound marketing for non-profit, religious and political organizations. according to its press release.

The Daily Sentinel Gene Lyons administration forced Gen. Eric Shinseki into retirement for testifying ihat a far larger force would be needed to occupy Iraq than Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld planned, the White House insisted that the United States had precisely the nght mix of soldiers in place. that victory was imminent. and that Bush never failed to heed his brilliant generals in Baghdad. Only after Rummy got fired did we learn that he'd himself proposed "an accelerated drawdown of U.S. bases" in Iraq in 2007. Instead, more than three years and 3000 American lives into the war, Bush dumped him and cashiered the brilli<mt generals, also apparently for opposing escalation. He· s chosen Gen. David Petraeus, the author of the Army's manual on counterinsurgency. to replace them. True, Petraeus's JOist Airborne troops did a better job pacifying the locals in Mosul in 2003 than other U.S. forces. But his second job there involved tnli.ning the Iraqi army and police forces, an unqualified disaster. Some conservatives argue desperately that a "surge" of 20.000 troops will save the situation. Writing in the Washington Post, former NATO Supreme Commander ol EmmaOgdin (and Democmtic presid~ntial candidate) Wesley Clark set~ them stmight: "We've never had enough troops in Iraq. In Kosovo. we had 40,000 troops for a population of 2 million. That ratio would call for at least 500,000 troops in Iraq; adding 20,000 now seems too little, too late. Further, U.S. troops so far have lacked the language skills, cultuml awareness and political legitimacy to ensure that aa-ea~ 'clew-ed' can be 'held." The larger problem is the same one that confounded Gen. Patraeus's effons to train Iraqi forces. As a nation. lrc~q scarcely existed in 2003 when the United States invadctl. SinL-e then it\ disintegrated into sheer, bloody chaos, with tribal aald sectarian loyalties overwhelming all others. The transformation of Saddam Hussein's execution into a sectarian snuff film ought to teach Americans all they need to know about the government we've installed 'there. Mere reality. however, has never made an impression on the Bush White House. What's more signiticanl is L'lat Gen. Clark, valedictori<m of his West Point class, after all, no longer looks lik.e a maverick. The president's political suppon is melting like the polar ice cap. And it\ nOI merely pmldits like the Washington Post's George Will and Charles Kr.authamrner and the New York Times' r>avid Brooks who've pronounced themselves appalled. ABC New> recently polled the member> of the 2002 U.S. Senate that voted 77-23 to authorize Bush to use force in Iraq. Knowing what they know now, they'd oppose the war 57-43 -a 34-vote swing. Writing in Human Events, right-wing icon Col. Oliver North argues, "sending more U.S. combat troops (to Iraq) is simply sending more targets." Recently back from Baghdad, North says contrary to Senators John McCain and Holy Joe Lieberman. "(n)ot one of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen or Marines I interviewed told me that they wanted more U.S. boots on the ground. In fact. nearly all expressed just the opposite: 'We don't need 1110re American troops, we need more Iraqi troops." Fat chance. Even more ominous for Republicans not nwned Bush was a recent Military Tunes poll. Since 2004. active duty service members calling Republicans themselves dropped 14 percent (from 60% to 46%) seemingly in direct response . to Iraq. Thirty-five percent think Bush ha.s handled the war competently: 75% believe the military's dangerously overstresM'd. Pr~dicting the future is folly. Hastory. however, teaches that when strong amyorities of Americans want something. our political system usually finds a way to give it to them.

The Daily Sentinel Gene Lyons administration forced Gen. Eric Shinseki into retirement for testifying ihat a far larger force would be needed to occupy Iraq than Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld planned, the White House insisted that the United States had precisely the nght mix of soldiers in place. that victory was imminent. and that Bush never failed to heed his brilliant generals in Baghdad. Only after Rummy got fired did we learn that he'd himself proposed "an accelerated drawdown of U.S. bases" in Iraq in 2007. Instead, more than three years and 3000 American lives into the war, Bush dumped him and cashiered the brilli<mt generals, also apparently for opposing escalation. He· s chosen Gen. David Petraeus, the author of the Army's manual on counterinsurgency. to replace them. True, Petraeus's JOist Airborne troops did a better job pacifying the locals in Mosul in 2003 than other U.S. forces. But his second job there involved tnli.ning the Iraqi army and police forces, an unqualified disaster. Some conservatives argue desperately that a "surge" of 20.000 troops will save the situation. Writing in the Washington Post, former NATO Supreme Commander ol EmmaOgdin (and Democmtic presid~ntial candidate) Wesley Clark set~ them stmight: "We've never had enough troops in Iraq. In Kosovo. we had 40,000 troops for a population of 2 million. That ratio would call for at least 500,000 troops in Iraq; adding 20,000 now seems too little, too late. Further, U.S. troops so far have lacked the language skills, cultuml awareness and political legitimacy to ensure that aa-ea~ 'clew-ed' can be 'held." The larger problem is the same one that confounded Gen. Patraeus's effons to train Iraqi forces. As a nation. lrc~q scarcely existed in 2003 when the United States invadctl. SinL-e then it\ disintegrated into sheer, bloody chaos, with tribal aald sectarian loyalties overwhelming all others. The transformation of Saddam Hussein's execution into a sectarian snuff film ought to teach Americans all they need to know about the government we've installed 'there. Mere reality. however, has never made an impression on the Bush White House. What's more signiticanl is L'lat Gen. Clark, valedictori<m of his West Point class, after all, no longer looks lik.e a maverick. The president's political suppon is melting like the polar ice cap. And it\ nOI merely pmldits like the Washington Post's George Will and Charles Kr.authamrner and the New York Times' r>avid Brooks who've pronounced themselves appalled. ABC New> recently polled the member> of the 2002 U.S. Senate that voted 77-23 to authorize Bush to use force in Iraq. Knowing what they know now, they'd oppose the war 57-43 -a 34-vote swing. Writing in Human Events, right-wing icon Col. Oliver North argues, "sending more U.S. combat troops (to Iraq) is simply sending more targets." Recently back from Baghdad, North says contrary to Senators John McCain and Holy Joe Lieberman. "(n)ot one of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen or Marines I interviewed told me that they wanted more U.S. boots on the ground. In fact. nearly all expressed just the opposite: 'We don't need 1110re American troops, we need more Iraqi troops." Fat chance. Even more ominous for Republicans not nwned Bush was a recent Military Tunes poll. Since 2004. active duty service members calling Republicans themselves dropped 14 percent (from 60% to 46%) seemingly in direct response . to Iraq. Thirty-five percent think Bush ha.s handled the war competently: 75% believe the military's dangerously overstresM'd. Pr~dicting the future is folly. Hastory. however, teaches that when strong amyorities of Americans want something. our political system usually finds a way to give it to them.

N8AStandlngs ' PRESS MELBOURNE, Australia - James Blake overcame a shaky start to give sometime hitting partner Alex Kuznetsov a lesson in how to play at the majors with a 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 drubbing in the second round of the Australian Open. In the women's draw, Kim Clijsters and Martina Hingis raced each other into the third round, coming at it from different sides of retirement. Clijsters extended the winning start to her farewell tour, beating Akiko Morigami 6-3, 6-0. Joking that she was racing to get done Thursday before Clijsters, Hingis continued building momentum in her comeback with a 6-2, 6-2 win over . Russian Alia Kudryavtseva. Bla\e and Kuznetsov have practiced together before, but never officially played. Kuznetsov, who moved from Ukraine to the United States at age 3, shocked Blake with his power when they first hit together four years ago. Fifth-seeded Blake got another surprise this time, losing his serve twice and trailing 3-0 in the ftrst set to a player ranked No. 216. But he turned things around with winners off his go-for-broke style, and never faced another break point. "I know how dangerous he can be," Blake said. "I think maybe at that point he started realizing what he was doing, what court he was on and kind of the arena that he was m. "That's something I hopefully have going for me now. is a little bit of experie11ce. and to ride that storm that Alex was kind of bringing to nte ." From 2-4, he ran off the last four games of the first set, dropping , only four points. Suddenly, Kuznetsov was pressin~ and overhitting. At one pomt Blake showed his athleticism by tracking down a backhand in the corner. turning around completely. then rushing to the · net on the far side to get to a drop volley that took him out of court. He flicked a forehand that ticked the net and hopped over Kuznetsov's racket for a winner. He also turned what appeared to be a certain overhead winner for Kuznetsov into a winning lob. Kuznetsov stood afterward with his hands on his hips. as if to say, "What do I have to do"" "James just turned it up a notch - he's playing awesome," Kuznetsov said. ''He I was just playing too good ... Blake, who won five titles last year and finished 2006 with a run to the Masters Cup final, had only 13 unforced errors to go wuh 26 winners. Kuznetsov. in his second Grand Slam tournament and getting his career back on track after breaking .his leg when he crashed a car into a tree in May 2005, matched Blake 's winners but had 36 unforced errors. Tomas Berdych, seeded 13th, beat Australian Roben Smeets 6-3. 6-2 . 6-4 and Argentina 's Juan Ignacio Chela ousted No. 17 Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. The 23-year-old Clijsters, who has announced she is retiring at the end of this season in the hope of starting a family,. recovered from an inconsistent opening set to run through the second. After winning her opening match without losing a game, Clijsters is content to brush off a couple of service breaks and an erratic first set against Morigami . She started the year with a win over Maria Sharapova in the final of a Hong Kong exhibition tournament am! last week won the Sydney International. Clijsters made more unforced errors (12) than winners (II) in the first set, but clicked into gear and had only three unforced errors in the last six games to finish in just under an hour. That was nine minutes faster than Hingis, who lost a little time when she was broken while serving for the match at 5-1 . Sixth-seeded Hingis, who became engaged to Czech player RCI(Iek Stepanek last month, won three straight Australian titles from 1997 and then lost three consecutive finals before quitting the tour because of nagging foot and ankle problems. Her comeback to the Australian Open in 2006 ended in a quarterfinal loss to Clijsters. A rematch looms again in the quarterfinals. and Hingis is expecting more of herself this time. Hingis next meets Aiko Nakamura of Japan. a surprise 6-3 . 6-2 winner over India' s Sania Mirza. In other women's matches. 12th-seeded Anna Chakvetadze beat Laura Granville 6-2, 5-7, 6-1. Also advancing were No. 15 Daniela Hantuchova, No. 19 Li Na, No . 22 Vera Zvonareva, No. 29 Alana Bondarenko, No. 30 Tathiana Garbin and Australia's Alicia Molik. Matches on outside courts started 90 minutes late because of light rain showers.

John Force did the same ove r the last two decades, but with a twist: On Tuesday, the biggest name in the drag-rac ing game handed the keys to one of the famil y cars to his 24-year-old daughter, Ashley. "A lot of people want me to say, 'I'll kic k dad's butt,"' Ashley said over the telephone from California, taking a break from her daylong media blitz. "Not so fast.

N8AStandlngs ' PRESS MELBOURNE, Australia - James Blake overcame a shaky start to give sometime hitting partner Alex Kuznetsov a lesson in how to play at the majors with a 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 drubbing in the second round of the Australian Open. In the women's draw, Kim Clijsters and Martina Hingis raced each other into the third round, coming at it from different sides of retirement. Clijsters extended the winning start to her farewell tour, beating Akiko Morigami 6-3, 6-0. Joking that she was racing to get done Thursday before Clijsters, Hingis continued building momentum in her comeback with a 6-2, 6-2 win over . Russian Alia Kudryavtseva. Bla\e and Kuznetsov have practiced together before, but never officially played. Kuznetsov, who moved from Ukraine to the United States at age 3, shocked Blake with his power when they first hit together four years ago. Fifth-seeded Blake got another surprise this time, losing his serve twice and trailing 3-0 in the ftrst set to a player ranked No. 216. But he turned things around with winners off his go-for-broke style, and never faced another break point. "I know how dangerous he can be," Blake said. "I think maybe at that point he started realizing what he was doing, what court he was on and kind of the arena that he was m. "That's something I hopefully have going for me now. is a little bit of experie11ce. and to ride that storm that Alex was kind of bringing to nte ." From 2-4, he ran off the last four games of the first set, dropping , only four points. Suddenly, Kuznetsov was pressin~ and overhitting. At one pomt Blake showed his athleticism by tracking down a backhand in the corner. turning around completely. then rushing to the · net on the far side to get to a drop volley that took him out of court. He flicked a forehand that ticked the net and hopped over Kuznetsov's racket for a winner. He also turned what appeared to be a certain overhead winner for Kuznetsov into a winning lob. Kuznetsov stood afterward with his hands on his hips. as if to say, "What do I have to do"" "James just turned it up a notch - he's playing awesome," Kuznetsov said. ''He I was just playing too good ... Blake, who won five titles last year and finished 2006 with a run to the Masters Cup final, had only 13 unforced errors to go wuh 26 winners. Kuznetsov. in his second Grand Slam tournament and getting his career back on track after breaking .his leg when he crashed a car into a tree in May 2005, matched Blake 's winners but had 36 unforced errors. Tomas Berdych, seeded 13th, beat Australian Roben Smeets 6-3. 6-2 . 6-4 and Argentina 's Juan Ignacio Chela ousted No. 17 Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. The 23-year-old Clijsters, who has announced she is retiring at the end of this season in the hope of starting a family,. recovered from an inconsistent opening set to run through the second. After winning her opening match without losing a game, Clijsters is content to brush off a couple of service breaks and an erratic first set against Morigami . She started the year with a win over Maria Sharapova in the final of a Hong Kong exhibition tournament am! last week won the Sydney International. Clijsters made more unforced errors (12) than winners (II) in the first set, but clicked into gear and had only three unforced errors in the last six games to finish in just under an hour. That was nine minutes faster than Hingis, who lost a little time when she was broken while serving for the match at 5-1 . Sixth-seeded Hingis, who became engaged to Czech player RCI(Iek Stepanek last month, won three straight Australian titles from 1997 and then lost three consecutive finals before quitting the tour because of nagging foot and ankle problems. Her comeback to the Australian Open in 2006 ended in a quarterfinal loss to Clijsters. A rematch looms again in the quarterfinals. and Hingis is expecting more of herself this time. Hingis next meets Aiko Nakamura of Japan. a surprise 6-3 . 6-2 winner over India' s Sania Mirza. In other women's matches. 12th-seeded Anna Chakvetadze beat Laura Granville 6-2, 5-7, 6-1. Also advancing were No. 15 Daniela Hantuchova, No. 19 Li Na, No . 22 Vera Zvonareva, No. 29 Alana Bondarenko, No. 30 Tathiana Garbin and Australia's Alicia Molik.

Zach Randolph had 26 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 94-76 victory over the road-weary Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. LeBron James scored 23 points for Cleveland, which is 2-3 on its sevengame road trip. The Cavaliers were coming off a I 01 -96 Joss to the Seattle SuperSonics on Tuesday night. The Blazers, who had lost eight of their last I 0 game s, led by as many as 25 points . Randolph, who was averaging a career-high 23.4 points but scored just four in a loss to Denver on Sunday, was back in form . His running layup gave the Blazers a 90-66 lead. Randolph has 22 doubledoubles this season . Portland rookie Brandon Roy had his second double-double with 19 points and I 0 rebounds. Fellow rookie LaMarcus Aldridge scored 14 points . Cleveland has won five of ·the last seven overall games against the Blazers, but has lost seven of its last eight at the Rose Garden . Larry Hughes added 17 points for the sluggish Cavaliers . James. who was averaging 26.9 points going into the game , was 8-of- 2 1 from the floor and 6-of-13 on free throws.

Teammate Jarrett Jack mi ssed his third straight because of a concussion he sustained in an auto accident last week. The Blazers got off to a fast start, outscoring the Cavaliers 9- 2 through the first eight minutes of the game. The first field goal scored by Cleveland was a 3-pointer made by James with 3:51 left in the first quarter. The Cavaliers trailed 189 after the fir st quarter, their lowest offensive output for the ope ning quarter this season.

Dan Fouts or Joe Montana. Dan Marino or John Elway. A few years from now, Peyllln Manning will be forever placed into one category of the NFL's greatest quarterbacks - those who have won Super Bow Is and those who haven't. He's got to get there llrst, though, and his next chance is coming soon. Will the Colts-Patriots game Sunday amount to a defining moment, an all-ornothing opportunity for Manning, who is currently The Greatest Quarterback to Never Make a Super Bowl? If he wins. maybe history will see it that way. If he doesn't - well, certainly he' ll have other chances. Won't he'' His coach and teammates hate that it always seems to come to this. "It's totally unfair to him," tight end Dallas Clark said. "He has his job to do and he can't do anything else. It's sad, but that's why you guys do what you do: He handles it great. He's a professional." Manning was not available for interviews Wednesday. The Colts chose to delav his availability until Friday. when he'll undoubtedly offer the candid, introspective, realistic thoughts on the subject that he has repeated many times over his nine years in the NFL. It's a career filled with records. Pro Bowls. MVP awards. But he is 5-6 in the playotls with an 0-2 record against New England's Tom Brady, I he Iess-spectacu Iar quarterback who has always been best when the stakes have been the highest.

Manning was the llrst pick of the 1998 draft - the kind of player who has ''legacy" attached to his name before he takes a snap. "I don't know that he'll be judged against Tom Brady," Colts coach Tony Dungy said. "But every quarterback will be judged against Joe Montana and Terry Bmdshaw and Ban Starr and guys who have won Super Bowls. That's the way it is. I think we have appreciation now for Dan Marino and Boomer Esiason and Dan Fouts and guys who haven 't won it. But at the time, we talk about how many Super Bowls you've won. As time ~oes by, hi~!ory is a little easter on you. Manning. of course, is hoping he won't need friendly historians to cemem his legacy. A Super Bowl ring is the easiest - maybe the . only - way to avoid that. . ·1s th at he fimds Funny lh mg himsell on the cusp of the Super Bowl again Manning's second appearance in the AFC championship game - after a most un-Peyton-like run through the playoffs. He has 438 yards in two games, fewer than he recorded in his second playoff blowout over the Broncos in 2004. He has one touchdown pass and five interceptions. His quarterback raung is 58.3. Yet just as he has struggled, the defense that has often derailed Indy's Super Bowl hopes has also been uncllaracteristic -· allowing only a single touchdown and an average of 63.5 rushing yards in two games. "The NFL has a funny way of highlighting the quarterbacks, like it's Peyton versus Brady,'' defensive end Dwight Freeney said. "That's all right for the media, the fans and the game, but there's a lot more going on out there than just two quarterbacks going at it" .Still, as a defensive endeven a great defensive end - Freeney will never be held under the spotlight the way a quarterback would. Espec1'ally a quarterback like Manning.

The street lights still worked. No one had to worry about mold or rotting timber. And there wasn't a FEMA trailer in sight. · The scene late Sunday night in San Diego seemed entirely normal for a city shaken by the loss of a team most thought was headed to the Super Bowl. The biggest worry might have been whether the smt would be up the next morning. Life isn't so easy in the Big Easy, where the Saints are carrying a city on their shoulders. Those who are still there worry about more mundane things, like where they will be living six months from now. Others are scattered about the country wondering whether they will ever make it back. To them, the Saints represent a link to a life they no longer know. One of them wrote a colleague of mine the other day to tell her just how deep that link is: "My family has been in Austin, Texas, since Katrina with a five-year plan to move back to the city we love," he wrote. "We wept when the Saints played Monday Night Football and the bands pla~ed "When September Ends. ' I even pray to God about something as silly as a football team. Our hurt is deep and the Saints soothe our sadness and tum our tears to joy." -~ If only it was that simple. If only New Orleans could be reborn like the Saints. The Saints play the Chicago Bears on Sunday, and nothing that happens at Soldier Field is going to get houses rebuilt any sooner or put families back together any quicker. A trip to the Super Bowl may rest on the outcome, but in the end it's just a game, like any other. Still, if ever a city needed a team in the Super Bowl, it's New Orleans. · In San Diego the other day I watched as some 68,000 fans left quickly and quietly after the Chargers blew a golden opportunity against New England. Naturally, they were bitterly disappointed that a team with an open path to a Super B,owl was done for the season. But they didn't have to go home to a neighborhood they still don't recognize. I wasn't in New Orleans to watch the Saints beat the Eagles. The last time I was there, it was a disaster. Literally. The National Guard was just arriving in force and we drove over a deserted bridge into a city ravaged by Katrina. The streets were littered in broken glass or covered in water, and bodies still lay rotting in the heat. I usually write about spor1s. A world full of feel-good stories, like the one the Saints hope to write at NFC championship game. This was real, though. And really ugly. Iliadn't be'en in town more than a few hours when I was walk.ing door to door in a poor neighborhood trying to find the husband of a woman whose body was found on a street. A passer-by thought she deserved more dignity in death and piled some bncks around her for a makeshi"ft memorial. He spmypainted a message on the sheet that covered her body. "Here lies Vera," it said. "God help us." New Orleans needed the Saints like no other team has ever been needed by a city.
