COURTESY OF THE NY TIMES • Passengers on foreign airlines headed to the U.S. from 10 airports in eight predominantly Muslim countries have been barred from carrying electronic devices larger than a cellphone. American intelligence agen- cies believe that terrorist groups are increasingly trying to find ways to smuggle explosive devices hidden in electronic devices. Hours after the American action, the British government announced its own ban on elec- tronic devices on flights. • The F.B.I. is said to have linked a jersey belonging to Tom Brady to a Mexico City journalist. The New England Patriots quarterback said the jersey disappeared from the team’s locker room after last month’s cham- pionship game against the Atlanta Falcons. • Disney’s latest film, the live action Beauty and the Beast, broke multiple Hollywood records last weekend and raked in $170 million at the North American box office. • Google moved on Tuesday to protect its lucrative advertising business by giving marketers greater control over where their ads appear online, after major clients withdrew spots that were shown next to hate speech and other offensive material. Google pockets billions of dollars every year from brands promoting their goods through the company’s search engine and on YouTube. However, the changes, which will be introduced in the coming weeks, highlight the difficult balance between protecting Google’s advertising business while also allowing free speech. • A recent movement in American elementary schools is encouraging schools and teachers to come up with more lesson plans that involve movement. Recent studies have been published about how the current school systems require too much sitting and stillness during class time. John Ratey, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical said, “Movement activates all the brain cells kids are using to learn, it wakes up the brain. [Having more activities involving physical movement] makes kids want to come to school more — it’s fun to do these activities.”

DON’T THROW IT AWAY A POEM BY GEORGE BELMORE ‘01 I’m RECYCLEMAN. I’ve got something to say, please recycle. You’ll save the day. It reduces pollution with sustainable redistribution and takes on global warming along the way. Less mining and milling, I find that all so thrilling, so why am I still in such dismay? So much is at stake that I feel we can’t take a break and to not get involved is a huge mistake. We must come together as one great nation while keeping in mind the next generation. We don’t have forever to make things right, so all we can do now is just fight the good fight. There’s still some time, but it’s not on our side. The problem I see is worldwide apathy. We’ve got to protect, air, water and land, who better than us to lead the command. Look at our air, it’s not something we should see. It all began with our need for energy. Smoke filled skies can now block the sun and burning fossil fuels is public enemy number one. Now, we can’t stop progress because of need, so better carbon capture systems will help, indeed. We know that when the rains come falling down. It takes many pollutants to both water and ground. Acid precipitation attacks all in its path. There’s not a single thing which can avoid its wrath. Now adding to that, the greenhouse effect, it’s a double wham- my. We have a deadly mess.Recycling is a move, that’s in the right direction, less energy is needed and therein lies the connection. We need to repair our air first and foremost. This is from my meteorological, observational outpost. There’s the waters of our oceans, rivers, and lakes. Some of the views, I’ve seen makes my heartache. We dump into the seas, mass quantities, of recyclable goods, just to save on land fees. What doesn’t sink, floats to every distant shore. I find this act despicable and truly abhor.We must recycle all that we can. It benefits aquatic life increasing their lifespan. A fish should not drown nor should mercury be found. We need to turn things completely around. Our sea waters are rising. It should not be so surprising. We’re past overdue for our planet’s stabilizing. Our drinking water has to also be sound. It’s all life’s blood; it’s getting harder to be found. We have to care for water above and underground; it’s a cycle just like a Ferris wheel going round. What about the land and all who inhabit; we’ve got to do better in the name of cohabit. I’m talking trees and bees and the flowers and the feed; the animals too are so much in need. We bury things in the ground with such toxicity for no other reason but the overall simplicity. Our landfills are land full. It doesn’t have to be; we need to recycle to avoid fur- ther catastrophe. I paint a gloomy picture but all is not lost. We can fix what’s broken, but there’s going to be some cost. We can stop the insanity with technology and humanity; if the animals could swear oh there would be such profanity! I’m RECYCLEMAN continue to plug away, because doing the right thing is in our DNA. Here’s the bottom line, something we all should keep in mind, that we are but a minus- cule moment in time. But that’s not true.. for all the stuff we leave behind.
