(United States DC Circuit) - Petition for review denied. The EPA did not act contrary to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act in adopting a Transfer-Based Exclusion because hazardous materials are not necessarily "discarded" when they are transferred from a generator to a reclaimer along with payment. The policy was not arbitrary or capricious.

(California Court of Appeal) - Affirming the trial court's conclusion that Monsanto and others failed to state a claim in a suit where they averred that Proposition 65's reliance on the International Agency for Research on Cancer's determinations about which chemicals cause cancer improperly granted a foreign entity authority over domestic affairs.

(United States Third Circuit) - Denied a petition for review of a Pennsylvania state regulators' decision to grant a Clean Water Act certification to a natural gas pipeline project. An environmental organization raised various procedural and substantive arguments against the environmental regulators' issuance of a water quality certification. On judicial review, the Third Circuit held that the environmentalists' challenge failed on the merits. Prior to reaching the merits, the panel discussed in detail questions regarding its jurisdiction under the Natural Gas Act.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Reversed. Several environmental groups brought suit against the EPA for failing to perform duties under the Clean Water Act as to impaired waters in West Virginia. The district court found that plaintiffs have standing to bring the claim and granted summary judgment in their favor. The appellate court agreed that plaintiffs have standing, but reversed the grant of summary judgment. The appellate court reasoned that the doctrine of constructive submission under 33 USC section 1313(d)(2) which would have triggered the EPA’s duty to act was overcome by West Virginia’s partial compliance and agreement to do more. Therefore constructive submission would not apply and summary judgment improper.

(United States Second Circuit) - Vacating the district court's determination that a carpenters union was entitled to summary judgment as to Sherman Act Antitrust charges, but affirmed summary judgment for them as to unfair labor practices charges in a case where the union used subcontracting to include ironworking in their activities because the union did not qualify for the non-statutory exemption to antitrust liability, but qualified for the construction industry proviso.

Airports must maintain a safe and efficient facility while considering environmental impacts. Though traditional environmental challenges such as noise and water quality remain, several new themes are emerging, including energy management, sustainability, resiliency, and wildlife management. Airports will need guidelines and practices to help them address these pressing issues, and the first step in the process is to identify knowledge gaps and research needs. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program...

Environmental regulations have long required airports to undertake review of many actions associated with planning and development. More recently, airports have embraced sustainability as a means for ensuring the long-term viability and community benefits of their facilities. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Research Report 209: Integrating Sustainability Planning and the Environmental Review Process is designed for airport industry practitioners who are interested in gaining a better ...

IL-17–producing RORγt+ γδ T cells (γδT17 cells) are innate lymphocytes that participate in type 3 immune responses during infection and inflammation. Herein, we show that γδT17 cells rapidly proliferate within neonatal lymph nodes and gut, where, upon entry, they upregulate T-bet and coexpress IL-17, IL-22, and IFN-γ in a STAT3- and retinoic acid–dependent manner. Neonatal expansion was halted in mice conditionally deficient in STAT5, and its loss resulted in γδT17 cell depletion from all adult organs. Hyperactive STAT5 mutant mice showed that the STAT5A homolog had a dominant role over STAT5B in promoting γδT17 cell expansion and downregulating gut-associated T-bet. In contrast, STAT5B preferentially expanded IFN-γ–producing γδ populations, implying a previously unknown differential role of STAT5 gene products in lymphocyte lineage regulation. Importantly, mice lacking γδT17 cells as a result of STAT5 deficiency displayed a profound resistance to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Our data identify that the neonatal microenvironment in combination with STAT5 is critical for post-thymic γδT17 development and tissue-specific imprinting, which is essential for infection and autoimmunity.

IRON MAIDEN отменили все запланированные на 2020 год выступления. Менеджер группы, Rod Smallwood, написал:

«Надеюсь, что вы и ваши любимые здоровы и в безопасности, где бы вы ни находились, и моя постоянная благодарность всем вам за то, что вы так терпеливо относитесь к нам.

В связи с продолжающимися проблемами во всём мире в связи COVID-19 мы с сожалением сообщаем вам, что группа IRON MAIDEN не будет давать концерты до июня 2021 года.

Тем не менее, сейчас мы можем предоставить вам подробную информацию о наших гастрольных планах в отношении тех концертов, которые мы надеялись отыграть в этом году.

Во-первых, мы очень рады сообщить вам, что нам удалось перенести все наши европейские концерты в туре "Legacy Of The Beast" на июнь/июль 2021 года, за исключением Москвы, Санкт-Петербурга, Верта и Цюриха, которые, к сожалению, невозможно вписать в этот период.

Для усиления маршрута тура, как вы видите, мы добавили ещё 2 концерта в Арнеме и Антверпене.

В настоящее время мы работаем над сохранением всех специальных гостей и групп поддержки, которые должны были выступить с нами в этом году. В тех случаях, когда какая-либо группа не сможет принять участие из-за собственных перенесённых выступлений, мы будем искать иные подходящие выступления эквивалентного уровня. Большинство из них уже подтверждено, и их можно найти на странице тура на официальном сайте.

Перенести хэдлайн-выступления на фестивалях, к сожалению, не удалось. В основном это связано с тем, что у нас уже был очень напряжённый по планам вариант на 2021 год, и, как я уверен, вы можете себе представить, большое количество концертов уже распланировано, и поэтому только это мы можем как-то втиснуть в наши планы. Группа получает удовольствие от выступлений на фестивалях, так что будьте уверены, что мы вернёмся к как можно большему количеству из них в другой раз.

Что касается того, что должно было стать открытием тура 2020 года и было запланировано на 1 мая в Перте (Австралия), после чего в планах были Новая Зеландия, Филиппины, Япония, Дубай и Израиль, то в настоящее время мы работаем над возможностью возвращения в как можно большее число этих стран в первой половине 2022 года — ближе к датам появится больше новостей на этот счёт.

Группа в порядке и направляет вам, ребята, свои наилучшие пожелания, они с нетерпением ждут возвращения на сцену в следующем году и возможности вновь с вами увидеться, так что, пожалуйста, продолжайте заботиться о себе и будьте УМНЫМИ».

More than a quarter-century ago, I was driving to Pittsburgh, with my wife, Marianne Porter, and we were talking about fantasy and about steam locomotives. I made a joke about the Baldwin Steam Dragon Works and Marianne laughed. Then, another mile or so down the road, I said, "Write that down, please."

Thus was born the Iron Dragons Trilogy, a trio of stand-alone books, the third of which, The Iron Dragon's Mother, was published just last year.

Far more recently, just an hour or so ago, I got an email from my associates at Open Road Media, telling me that The Iron Dragon's Mother, first of the three, will be on sale for $1.99 this coming Monday, March 23.

That's one day only BUT this time the sale includes Canada. Which I am very grateful for because the Canadian science fiction community has always been very warm and kind to  me.

Anyway, here's the boilerplate below, cut-and-pasted from the corporate email:

Divestment is “more urgent” in Toronto than NYC

A growing list of large institutional investors around the world – state and provincial pension funds, university endowments, and most recently, New York City itself, have been aggressively divesting from fossil fuel investments so as to do their part in mitigating against climate change. Here in Toronto, it’s been a different story. Prominent institutional investors, […]

IRONY Over a tenth of Italy's population lives in abject poverty.

As SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus pathogen that causes the illness COVID-19, sweeps across the globe, social distancing measures are noticeably impacting the environment. Consequently, both the preservation and restoration of environmental quality are experiencing a new normal as the pandemic continues.[...]

Real women have curvy headphones.

A team of Princeton chemists has identified a way to tag a protein's nearest molecular neighbors, enabling the precise mapping of their micro-environment. This could open new avenues to cancer treatment and other drug therapies.

Focusing on urbanization as a key driver of environmental change in the 21st century, researchers at Princeton have created a framework to understand and compare cities’ food systems and their effects on climate change, water use and land use. The research will allow planners to estimate the impact of a city’s food system and evaluate policy actions.

As global climate change leads to more hot and dry weather, the resulting droughts are stressing plants, making them less able to remove ozone — which at ground level is a dangerous pollutant — from the air.

The amount of farmland around the world that will need to be irrigated in order to feed an estimated global population of 9 billion people by 2050 could be up to several billion acres, far higher than scientists currently project, according to new research. The result would be a far greater strain on aquifers, as well as the likely expansion of agriculture into natural ecosystems as farmers search for water.

Washington Post journalist Juliet Eilperin, Class of 1992, talks in the latest episode of the “She Roars” podcast about her unusual pair of specialities: congressional politics and the environment.

Catherine Riihimaki speaks on “She Roars” about hosting Princeton’s new environmental podcast, “All for Earth.”

The new Princeton podcast “All for Earth” delves into the urgency of today’s environmental crises — and the tools we already have to mitigate them — through in-depth interviews with the people leading the race against time to prevent the implosion of the interconnected systems that support life on Earth. “All for Earth” will be released weekly on Thursdays in advance of the Princeton Environmental Forum on Oct. 24-25.
