By Betty Lin-Fisher, The Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio  Feb. 18--Last week, my husband called me at work in the late afternoon to tell me that someone had just come to our door in the bitter cold, saying he was there to "win back" our local telephone service to AT&T.

We all like to think we learn from mistakes, whether our own or othersâ. So in theory, the more serious bloopers you know about, the less likely you are to be under the bright light of interrogation, explaining how you managed to screw up big-time. Thatâs why we put out an all-points bulletin to IT managers and vendors everywhere: For the good of humanity, tell us about the gotchas that have gotten you, so others can avoid them.ADVERTISEMENTWhite Paper: Converged Services Spell ReliefDiscover why technical decision makers are turning to IP telephony and VPNs to increase worker productivity while keeping an eye on the bottom line.

Jim Posner sent me a link yesterday to an MP3 of a conference call between the press and two members of the Clinton campaign. It's really illuminating.  There are controversies the press isn't reporting, esp betw the Clinton campaign and NBC. Will there be a debate on Feb 26 and will CNN host it or MSNBC? There's some doubt, but you can't see it when you watch the broadcasts.  I'd love to subscribe to a feed of these conference calls, but we only happened to stumble upon this one. This morning on MSNBC they were talking about a conference call with Hillary Clinton, they said she sounded tired. I'd like to hear that for myself.  There's a difference in 2008, the campaign is not just being covered by the professional media, the people are doing it too. Even if we don't have our people on the calls, I'd still like to hear them.  So, if you have an idea how we could catch a stream of these, please post a comment. Thanks. PS: I archived the MP3 in case the link above goes bad.
