According McKinsey research paper '' Data Centers: How to Cut Carbon Emissions and Costs ,'' the world''s 44 million servers consumed.5% of all electricity in 2008, with data center emissions approaching those of small countries and projected to quadruple by 2020. Yikes. Much of the energy waste in data or shared computing centers results from inefficient cooling or outdated servers.

I’m off to Atlanta on Friday to attend the US HR community’s HRevolution unconference. Reflecting on it, I’ve come up with these ten reasons why I’m going: 1. I may not have succeeded in moving out of the UK as yet but I really don’t want to be around for the royal wedding next Friday. Half-way over the Atlantic seems as good as place as anywhere to ensure I don’t accidentally catch any of it. 2.

With the HREvolution Unconference looming this weekend, I have the enviable task of providing the pre-conference Carnival of HR. As noted earlier, since HREvolution should be about evolving and change, the blog posts I want should answer one of the following questions: 1. What was your favorite blog post you ever read and why? 2. What was the blog post that pushed or influenced you to evolve and change and why? 3. What was the blog post that influenced you to get into blogging and why? Let''s get to the results: R.J. Morris nominated Steve Boese ''s "PBR, Irony, and Duct Tape." She gets it.

Guest post by Jaana Eubanks In May, a whole new chapter in my life starts as I graduate as an MBA from the University of Nevada, Reno, and move back to Finland after living in the United States for almost seven years. Exciting as well as absolutely terrifying times! For the past seven years, I’ve been living the academic life style and also played collegiate sports during my undergrad studies. Before coming to the United States, sports played a major role in my life, and most of my youth was devoted to training and competing. The job hunt has by no means been easy. So can you. Network.

The combination of sports and HR has been a running theme of this blog since its inception. In this large world of ours, its not surprising to find some like-minded folks covering the same topics. With that in mind, I, with the assistance of Steve Boese , Kris Dunn , Lance Haun , and Tim Sackett have put many of our sports- and HR-related posts into one, easy-to-read e-book entitled "The 8 Man Rotation." Years in the making! 40 posts! 100 pages! It even includes a foreword by Bill Kutik and Laurie Ruettimann. What is the 8 Man Rotation? Read the book on SlideShare! Get it on pdf here ! Enjoy!

Guest post by Emily Rosenbaum You know what people tell me a lot? “If you were working, you couldn’t cook like that.” I’m serious. People say this to me almost weekly. What they are really saying is, “Sure, it’s easy to spend hours a day in the kitchen if you’re home all day, but if you had a real job…” For the record, I do have a real job. I’m a freelance writer, a career I pursue during the fleeting preschool hours or after my kids are in bed. publish consistently and take on bread-and-butter work on a regular basis. But, you know what? That’s beside the point. And I mean “creating.”

So I mentioned that I’ve also got the second Connecting HR unconference (#CHRU) coming up. Like HR Evolution, this should also be a really great event. Take a look at the comments we had back after our first unconference if you don’t believe me: “As an event it was nutritional, raw, the venue was stunningly basic almost brutal, the energy was maintained. What did I come away with from the day?

This weekend, HBO showed the special, " Talking Funny ," featuring Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Louis C.K., given the title, talking funny. With that all-star line-up of comedians, you know it was going to be hilarious.and it was. But, even more so, it was also about work.the work of comedy and being a comedian. Topics included: *What is funny? Are there lines that shouldn''t be crossed? *Is profanity necessary (Seinfeld, for example, rarely curses on stage)? *Is it easy to go on stage and make people laugh? *Do audiences matter? It leads into a discussion of professionalism.

Do you ever wonder why issues continue to evolve. why pieces of the story keep coming up.why you never seem to get all of the facts necessary to make a good decision? You don''t have the last 10%, that''s why. The Whole Story When leaders create the culture for their teams (yes, the leaders are responsible) it is imperative that they hear all of the issues. Do they tell you the whole story?

I work for a software company that is the poster child for replacing traditional ideas with a new approach. Dave Duffield and Aneel Bhusri founded Workday on the principle that traditional ERP software is irreparably broken and the world needs an alternative. Our products are brand new from the ground up, based on a new delivery model (Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS), a new Web-based technology stack, and a new business foundation—and it sounds really good

I work in an amazing organization. We treat children as both inpatients and outpatients. Thousands of them every year. My particular building has several outpatient therapy programs, so I have the privilege of seeing kids come and go throughout the day. Recently I was leaving the office a bit later than I normally do and was hustling through the lobby when a young boy noticed me in my suit and smiled. stopped, smiled back and he asked, " Are you the Mayor of the Therapy Center ?" I smiled.his Mom laughed, and he made my whole week much, much brighter. No Excuses.

CIOs who are considering SaaS hear all sorts of things from ERP software vendors hoping to tap into the momentum of cloud computing. Among the most common is that multi-tenancy is a “techie” thing that doesn’t need to be part of the conversation. Here’s another common one: “Multi-tenant? Sure, we can do multi-tenant, single-tenant, whatever you need!” In either unfortunate case, the term “multi-tenant” might mean anything the vendor chooses it to mean, including nothing at all
