Greetings, y'all!
When to fire, when to train 
 
Remember that guy you hired who didn't know as much as you hoped?  You probably debated "Should we try to train him?  Or just let him go?".
 
That's a fairly stomach-churning decision for most of us, so this flowchart helps you decide whether to train him or terminate him.
 
Recycle your technotrash...
 
Thanks to Jeff Bush for pointing out GreenDisk, which recycles tech junk - single CDs to rechargeable batteries, cell phones, ancient PDAs, laptops and more.  They securely zap old data and salvage usable parts.  Starts at $7 to recycle 20 pounds of technojunk - not bad, especially since technotrash often has toxic materials that need special handling.
 
New poll + anti-soda results
 
Those nasty anti-soda ads in last week's poll made 43% of you switch to water. Everyone else split evenly over whether they thought the ads would really work.
 
New this week: OK, we want kids to be active... but how active?  Click to register your votes:
 
1) 3-year-olds in triathlons
 
2) 13-year-old sails solo around the world
 
3) 8-year-old marathoner (yes, 26.2 miles):
Sounds risky OR Why not, if they're ready?
