10 things you need to know about VoIP

Make sure business-unit leaders are on the VoIP project team so they know the details and can communicate them to their employees, giving all users a stake in the project. “This reduced switchover time and made for little need for user training,” says…
Emergency personnel could be sent to the wrong place. “I highly suggest that you tie phones up to an analog phone line if you can,” Johansson says. The company has 1,000 teleworkers as far away as. “I don’t want them calling 911 in New Jersey,” she says. “For us that was a big potential liability.

(NYSE: MMP) engages in the transportation, storage, and distribution of refined petroleum products in the United States. The company’s pipeline system transports petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gases from the Gulf Coast refining region of Texas through the Midwest to Colorado, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Illinois. It owns and operates marine terminals, which are storage and distribution facilities that handle refined petroleum products, blendstocks, ethanol, heavy oils, feedstocks, crude oils, and condensates, as well as inland terminals which deliver refined petroleum products transported on common carrier interstate pipelines. The company’s ammonia pipeline system transports ammonia from production facilities in Texas and Oklahoma to terminals in the Midwest. It operates approximately 8,500-mile petroleum products pipeline system, including 45 petroleum products terminals; 7 petroleum products terminal facilities located along the United States Gulf and East Coasts; 29 petroleum products terminals located principally in the southeastern United States; and an approximately 1,100-mile ammonia pipeline system. It also provides heating, blending, and mixing of stored products and additive injection services, as well.

Top Scientist: Stir Up Oceans, Stop Global Warming
FOXNews – Sep 28, 2007
“Something on the order of 10 to 100,000 of these pipes would do quite a lot. Lovelock envisions that the pipes would be about 100 to 200 meters long and about 10 meters in diameter, with a flap at the bottom that will use the motion of the waves to pump water up. (Other groups, including the private company Atmocean and Stephen Salter of the University of Edinburgh have proposed similar structures that use slightly different engineering approaches. ) Lovelock doesn’t think that the proposal should be jumped on immediately, but that experiments should be done to test the scientific, economic and engineering viability of the proposal. “I wouldn’t attempt to cure the Earth tomorrow, so to speak,” he said. Instead, he advocates a small-scale project to test out the pipes on a small island in the tropics that has coral reef in danger of bleaching. If the reef gets better over time after the pipes are put in, the project can proceed to a larger reef, such as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, then perhaps move to the Gulf of Mexico, all the while ironing out the kinks at each stage…
Caldeira points out another possible kink in the proposal: As phytoplankton die and sink down into the ocean, the nutrients and carbon they contain tend to go back into solution in the ocean. “And so more or less, the carbon that you’re bringing up in your pipes will balance the carbon that’s sinking down,” he said. “I think it’s unlikely to be very effective as a carbon storage approach. Even if it does work, it is unlikely to be effective as a widespread approach, so bringing down carbon emissions is still the key to solving the global warming problem, Caldeira said. Lovelock says these effects need to be investigated in experiments, but adds that what might be bad for one particular area or organism could be good for the planet as a whole. He likens it to the treatments for serious human diseases that can often make a person sick, but are necessary to beat a more serious ailment (using chemotherapy to treat cancer, for example). “If we have a treatment for something fairly serious, there’ll almost certainly be side effects, and you have to balance the consequences of the benefits and the loss,” he said.
