    Portland, Oregon, has cut their weekly garbage pickup to every other week in an effort to help the city go 'green.' They are placing more emphasis on recycling and composting food scraps.

    How would you react if your city reduced the frequency of trash collection?

    In an effort to overcome a shortage of female workers in the tech industry, a new organization called Girls who Code is starting a program for high-school-age girls to teach them how to build websites and mobile apps and start their own com...panies.

    What do you think of the endeavor? What else needs to be done for more women to pursue careers in engineering and computer science?

    Nearly four in 10 Americans told a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll that they would have "mixed feelings" if the Supreme Court struck down the whole health-care law on Thursday.

    Just over a quarter said they would be very pleased, while 17% said they would be very disappointed by that outcome.

    Where do you stand on the issue?
    Americans Divided on Health-Law Ruling
    on.wsj.com
    Slightly more Americans than not think the federal health-care overhaul was a bad idea, but divisions run deeper among voters over whether the Supreme Court should overturn the law.

    Why is the Apple demographic so important to Orbitz and retailers?

    Studies suggest that adult owners of Mac computers are not only wealthier, but they also skew younger than PC users.

    A popular saying on Wall Street holds that the U.S. is the "best house in a bad neighborhood" for investors. Now it's also starting to look like the priciest.

    U.S. shares gained 3.5% over the past year, vs. declines of 20% for Europe and 18% for emerging markets like China and Brazil. http://sm.wsj.com/Omb06E
    For bargain hunters, recent U.S. performance makes now a good time to look abroad. http://sm.wsj.com/Omb06E

    New technology can help tally the speed and force of a boxer's punches, potentially removing subjectivity that some fans feel has ruined boxing. http://on.wsj.com/Oqjkna

    Boxers can wear gear inside their gloves to transmit the data to tele...vision viewers. It's only legal so far only in Nevada. Would you like to see it more widely used? Would such data help or hurt your enjoyment of the sport? How do you think it would have settled the Pacquaiao/Bradley bout?

    Orbitz has found that people who use Apple's Mac computers spend as much as 30% more a night on hotels, so the online travel agency is starting to show them different, and sometimes costlier, travel options than Windows visitors see.

    How do you feel about the approach? Should your computer's operating system be used to serve you different search results?
