Dungeons & Dragons (abbreviated as D&D or DnD) is a tabletop fantasy role-playing game (RPG) originally designed by E. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, and first published in 1974 by the Gygax-owned company Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR). The game is currently published by Wizards of the Coast, a division of Hasbro. It was derived from miniature wargames, with a variation of the Chainmail game serving as the initial rule system.[1] D&D's publication is widely regarded as the beginning of modern role-playing games and, by extension, the entire role-playing game industry.
Players of D&D create characters that embark upon imaginary adventures within a fantasy setting. A Dungeon Master (DM) serves as the game's referee and storyteller, while also maintaining the setting in which the adventures occur. During each game session, the players listen to descriptions of their character's surroundings, as well as additional information and potential choices from the DM, then describe their actions in response. The characters form a party that interacts with the setting's inhabitants (and each other). Together they solve dilemmas, engage in battles and gather treasure and knowledge.[2] In the process the characters earn experience points to become increasingly powerful over a series of sessions. D&D departs from traditional wargaming and assigns each player a specific character to play instead of a military formation. Miniature figures or markers, placed on a grid, are sometimes used to represent these characters.

Chat w/Page 2's DJ Gallo
Welcome to SportsNation! On Friday, Page 2 columnist DJ Gallo will stop by to chat about his Mr. Manners column.
Gallo is the founder and sole writer of the award-winning sports satire site SportsPickle.com. He is also a regular contributor to ESPN The Magazine and has written for The Onion. His first book -- "SportsPickle Presents: The View from the Upper Deck" -- is in stores now.
Send your questions now and join Gallo to chat Friday at 2 p.m. ET!
More DJ Gallo: DJ Gallo Search | Chats | Page 2 index
DJ Gallo (2:02 PM)
Hello, SportsNation. I hope you are enjoying the Senior British Open. All credit to Tom Watson for how well he is playing. But can you imagine what Tiger Woods will do to this course 17 years from now when he is 50?
Steve (Minneapolis)
I work in costomer service, I answer phone calls from people all over the nation, all day long. Every once in a while I get a sports junky who wants to talk about his team. Even mor rarly the sports fans is from Wisconsin and wants to talk about the Packers! Is it wrong for me to gently and politly tell the Packer fan off?
DJ Gallo (2:04 PM)
First of all, please don't lie. There is no Minneapolis, India. As for your question, there's no reason to be mean to a Packers fan. Unless they start telling you how good Brett Favre is. Then blow an air horn into the phone.
MS (philadelphia)
what celebrity do you think you resemble?
DJ Gallo (2:06 PM)
You tell me and I'll tell you if I've gotten it before. (Of course, I've been told I look like all of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive since 1974, so no need to mention those.)
Jeremy Mayfield (via mobile)
Dear Mr. Manners: Is it rude to take the batteries out of your friends stuff because you uh, need them for your flashlight?
DJ Gallo (2:07 PM)
I don't know. I do know, however, that your step-mom is a whore and a murderer. (Just quoting you, of course. High five!)
BRETT s. (TAMPA)
can you talk about your new Scrapplebees location? IT NEVER GETS OLD GALLO!!!!!!!
DJ Gallo (2:10 PM)
I have some bad news. All Scrapplebees franchise locations are closing. It turns out Lenny Dykstra -- namesake of the dykstraws in all of our drinks -- was the Scrapplebees CFO. Wayne Chrebet -- namesake of our Jalapeno Chrebites -- has been summoned to save things financially. But it may be too late.
Evan (Lexington)
Who wins in a hilariously terrible, grossly pedofilic, and overall just... sad beard contest between Sidney Crosby and Adam Morrison?
DJ Gallo (2:11 PM)
Good question. This demands a beard-off. Sidney, Adam ... start growing your beards ... NOW! (Okay, when I have a chat in December, we'll check in on them to see how their peach fuzz is coming in.)
greg (LA)
any truth to the rumors that the new sportspickle.com (now updated daily!) is run by a team of hobos you have spent the last 3 years teaching web design?
DJ Gallo (2:13 PM)
Actually, yes. That was my secret. The Obama Administration touted "shovel-ready" jobs with their stimulus package. But I'm the only one who offered any "bindle-ready" jobs.
Terrell (Buffalo NY)
Dr Mr Manners : When can I stop this awful charade I have to put on for my new fans and team mates to like me?
DJ Gallo (2:14 PM)
How about the first time Trent Edwards overthrows you in a regular season game?
Dave (DC)
Is there any athlete who would have a rougher time on Deal or No Deal than Marian Hossa?
Matt Kolodziej (Pittsburgh)
so you hate the Ravens, often target the Bengals, actually know a good bit of information about the Pirates, and have a link to Mondesi's house on SportsPickle's homepage... What is your connection with Pittsburgh?
DJ Gallo (2:16 PM)
WHA?! I hate the Ravens?! Target the Bengals?! Why, I never! I am a JOURNALIST. I have no biases. (My family is originally from Pittsburgh. And I'm not a journalist.)
Andrew (Cleveland)
Is exchanging the carcass of Ben Wallace for the carcass of Shaq really going to help LeBron?
DJ Gallo (2:17 PM)
Let's be fair: Shaq's is a much bigger carcass than Ben Wallace's. Few will want to enter the lane with such an intense smell of rotting flesh.
Dave (Alexandria, VA)
Since CollegeHumor runs cute college chick of the day on their site, can you please run cute hobo chick of the day on your site?
DJ Gallo (2:17 PM)
I still say Rickey Henderson's HOF induction speech is the must-see sports event of the summer.
Drew (Plainville, MA)
Hey DJ,Would a relegation/promotion system (like European soccer) benefit the MLB? Or would your beloved Pirates be busted down to Cape Cod league ball too fast for you to even complain?
DJ Gallo (2:21 PM)
I love the way they do it in European soccer. How cool would it be if, say, the Salt Lake Bees won the PCL and got moved up to the majors while the Nationals got bumped down? Very cool. There's your answer. Very cool. The slow-pitch softball league actually does this, too. Finish last in your division, you drop down one. Win, and you move up. So, I would say the two premier sports leagues in the world are European soccer leagues and my slow-pitch, recreational softball league. No question.
Hampton Stevens (Awesomeville, USA)
The Chiefs signing Matt Castle (sic) to a multi-decade, gillion dollar deal. What the French, Toast?
DJ Gallo (2:22 PM)
Cassel? I thought they signed Scott Mitchell. Either way, bad deal.
Jeff M (Pittsburgh, PA)
Dear Mr. Manners: My girlfriend wants to go to a concert next Friday, but the Pirates play the Natinals that night and I can't possibly miss it live. I think Jeff Karstens may be the starter for the Buccos. How can I possibly see this epic battle without getting dumped?
DJ Gallo (2:24 PM)
Just explain to her how hot Karstens is: http://serah.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/captcb769c14668b489381ef262c94152db5marlins_pirates_baseball_pagp102-252x300.jpg. She won't want to miss that.
Matt (Jacksonville)
Will the PGA change the cut rules if Tiger misses the cut?
DJ Gallo (2:25 PM)
Not change the rules. I think they'll just flip all of the Turnberry leaderboards upside-down. Hey, lookie there! Tiger's almost in first!
fred (omaha)
do you know where the buzzmaster lives, i want to go see him
DJ Gallo (2:26 PM)
The Buzzmaster lives inside all of us.
Dave (Alexandria, VA)
Your celebrity look alike: http://tinyurl.com/n8xm6e
DJ Gallo (2:27 PM)
From the neck up, not counting the face part ... TOTALLY!
Craig G. (Fairfield, CA)
Hey D.J., what's your favorite mascot in all of sports?
DJ Gallo (2:27 PM)
It's a tie between Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden.
Scott (Peoria, IL)
DJ, what did you have for breakfast today?
DJ Gallo (2:28 PM)
An iced coffee. I forgot to eat anything. I had a slice of leftover pizza and an apple for lunch. Maybe I'll schedule a chat for tonight to update you on dinner.
Andrew (Cleveland)
Tell Jeff in Pittsburgh that events like that usually qualify as community service. Girls usually are willing to go along, particular if it helps feed the needy Zimmerman family.
Michael Strahan (FOX Sports)
I dont have any manners. dont you remember when I got snarky with that reporter a few years back and i was yelling at him with food in my mouth?
DJ Gallo (2:31 PM)
I'm sure you weren't being rude. I'm sure you were justing testing out your sure-to-be HI-LARIOUS character on your new Fox sitcom.
frankg (metroplex)
What's your take on Martellus Bennett's new olympic feats in self-idiocy?
Eric Stoltz (montgomery al)
so is there any talks of any teams outside of the sec actually trying to win the bcs this year?
DJ Gallo (2:33 PM)
You have to try pretty hard to go down as the dumbest Dallas Cowboy in history.
DJ Gallo (2:33 PM)
Based on the non-conference schedules I've seen, no.
BobbyJ (Houston)
Obama's first pitch? Bush's threw a strike --off the mound -- under immense pressure in Sept 2001. Obama bounced it.How does that makes you feel?
DJ Gallo (2:34 PM)
Worst things about the opening pitch: 1) Fox's camera work; 2) Barry's mom jeans; 3) the actual pitch.
Craig G. (Fairfield, CA)
Most ridiculous hair in all of sports? I think it's a 3-way tie between Hasheem Thabeet's mohawk, Ryan Franklin's beard and Chad Zaveda's mustache.
DJ Gallo (2:35 PM)
In fairness, Thabeet's "mohawk" is not really a mohawk. It's just that the hair on the side of his head was rubbed off from opposing players' legs as they jumped over him to dunk.
Jack (Chicago)
What has a better chance of seeing a 5th week, Strahan's FOX show or Daunte Culpepper?
DJ Gallo (2:36 PM)
I actually think that's the concept of the show. It will just keep adding washed-up NFL players who get released. Daunte Culpepper will be on one week. Fred Taylor a few weeks later.
Jennifer (New York)
More played out: Twitter, or old people making jokes that they don't know what "A Twitter" is?
DJ Gallo (2:38 PM)
I'm actually going to have to go with the latter. @oldpeople - y so lame?
Barack Obama (Air Force One)
You forgot about the part where I was wearing ASICS. A Japanese shoe from 1994? What, I couldn't find my British Knights?
DJ Gallo (2:38 PM)
Good point. At least you could have supported an American shoe company like LA Gear.
Mike (Iowa)
Hey RJ, er, Mr. Manners, I pulled a Brock Lesnar here at work, and finished it up by telling my boss his wife's corn salsa sucks. I went home feeling better than ever. What was your problem dissing Brock?
DJ Gallo (2:40 PM)
Where did you eat his wife's corn salsa? (Not a euphemism.)
DJ Gallo (2:41 PM)
DJ Jr. (Pottsville, PA)
I follow both your twitter accounts, I read sportspickle daily, I constantly scan ESPN for new articles from you. What can I do to be a bigger DJ Gallo fan?
DJ Gallo (2:44 PM)
A DJ Gallo tattoo would be nice. Make it big and on your neck to look like a turtleneck.
Matt (Jacksonville)
"At 59 years old, it's almost as good as having sex." Too much Tom Watson
DJ Gallo (2:45 PM)
Whaaaaat? Please say he didn't really say that. Frankly, Watson ... you're making me sick to my stomach.
John (Dallas)
DJ Gallo (2:45 PM)
Sports Headline Writers (Everywhere)
With Watson in the lead, and Holmes 3 shots back, and the event in Scotland, could our jobs be any easier this weekend?
DJ Gallo (2:46 PM)
It's just too bad Tiger's last name isn't Wang.
Scott (Peoria, IL)
Why don't you put out those great full season, day by day predictions for the MLB season anymore? Those were some of your best work.
DJ Gallo (2:47 PM)
Really? I tended to think they were quantity over quality. I want to focus more on lack of quantity AND lack of quality.
Rigidy (Hartford)
How many hours a day are you spending writing at this point? It seems like you have been doing more articles for page 2 and are now updating sportspickle daily. I mean, if you add that to the limited amount of actual sports research that you need to do for your job, do you ever get out?
DJ Gallo (2:49 PM)
In some ways my sportspickle time commitment is actually less now 'cause I can post the stuff to the site myself and write stuff whenever I think of it, not just for Wednesdays. As for ever getting out, I was going to do something super awesome and cool today at 2 pm. But then I was asked to chat. Oh well.
Mark L (East Brunswick NJ)
We need more pictures with captions from you. You should have your own tab on Page 2
DJ Gallo (2:50 PM)
I actually have tabs all around the country charged to Page 2. ZING-a-ZING-ZING!!!!!
Kevin (Atlanta)
I wanted to read your chat, but have been too busy playing with john daly's pants on the front of page two (also not a euphemism)
Brett Favre (Minnesota)
Is it really wise of me to play for another year or should I just go back to Heaven and resume my old job?
Paul (Pittsburgh)
How rediculus is it that the buccos are actually considering bringing back wilson and freddy?
DJ Gallo (2:52 PM)
Well, I do think they are the best 2B-SS fielding combo in baseball. So it will be sad to see them as old guys making errors and dooming the Pirates season four years from now when the rest of the team is good.
Dudzik (Hartford)
Honestly, how many respected professionals do you know with an abbreviation as their first name?
DJ Gallo (2:52 PM)
JD Salinger. Gen. Patton.
Sports Headline Writers (Everywhere)
We are still bitter Hunter Mahan didn't catch Tiger a couple weekends ago
DJ Gallo (2:53 PM)
Hunter in the hunt. Hunter lurking. Hunter on the prowl. Tiger being chased by Hunter. Hunter nearing Woods.
Matt (Jacksonville)
McLouth-Sanchez-Bay-Aramis Ramirez-Xavier Nady-Doumit-Jack Wilson. That's a pretty good lineup the Pirates could have
DJ Gallo (2:55 PM)
The Aramis Ramirez trade has to be Top 10 worst in baseball history. The Pirates got Bobby Hill for Ramirez and Lofton. And not even the cartoon Bobby Hill. At least that would have been funny.
Dave (Alexandria, VA)
John -- I'm more concerned that RAY GORDON REID posted that 15 minutes in the future than that he posted it in all caps. At least we know what zip code to avoid.
DJ Gallo (2:56 PM)
Jim Hendry (Chicago)
Ummm, you mean in the Top 10 best trades.
Nick (Dayton, Oh)
What is your go to choice of garb on a night out trying to slew the ladies?
DJ Gallo (2:58 PM)
I go with the John Daly line.
Craig (Quincy, MA)
Have you ever challenged Keith Law to a snark contest?
DJ Gallo (2:58 PM)
A snark-off? Intriguing.
Matt (Jacksonville)
I think you are forgetting the immortal Jose Hernandez was also sent to the Pirates in the Ramirez deal. He was like Mark Reynolds except without any of the good qualities
Ben (Charlotte)
Have you seen Harry Potter yet?
DJ Gallo (3:01 PM)
I have never read the books or seen the movies. But the actors are pretty old now. Is there a hardcore sex scene in the new movie? There should be. JK Rowling can afford a few lawsuits.
frankg (metroplex)
Why do athletes/musicians think that they're immediately funny by osmosis just because they hang out with comedians? i.e. John Mayer he ain't funny
DJ Gallo (3:02 PM)
So does John Mayer also hang out with musicians who don't make me want to shove a screwdriver into my ears?
Roland (London, Ontario)
Is Marino going to make up for never winning a Superbowl by winning the British Open?
DJ Gallo (3:02 PM)
His Isotoner golf glove is pretty sweet.
Matt (Pensacola)
Is JK Rowling a MILF? I say yes.
DJ Gallo (3:03 PM)
I, of course, have NO idea what milf means. BUT ... JK Rowling is another initial person. I.R.! (That stands for Initials RULE.)
Bob (Lowell)
Was the 11:00 am chat about fantasy injuries a jab at hypochondriacs?
Tom (Chicago)
DJ, in all seriousness (worth a shot), what percent of Caribbean baseball players lie about their age? Why does Tom Watson get so much hype for performing at age 59 when Jose Contreras is doing the same?
DJ Gallo (3:06 PM)
Nice. In all seriousness, I don't quite see the shock over a 59-year-old guy being good at ... GOLF. I play golf. I'm not a golf hater. But Tom Watson winning the British Open is not quite the same as Dr. J leading the Sixers to an NBA title next year.
Dudzik (Hartford)
Ok, so you came up with 3. I still don't see DJ Gallo on that list...
DJ Gallo (3:07 PM)
Well, I'm the obvious one. But I try to at least pretend I'm humble. For example, JD Salinger ... what have you done for me lately? Have you written a snarky column answering fake questions from athletes? Uh ... no, he has not.
Drew (Plainville, MA)
I have an hour before I leave work, I'm trying to do as little as possible while still appearing busy. That is why I'm typing this. Keyboard noises = hard work. The effort it has taken me to type this out is far more work than I've done in the past few hours. Thank you for allowing me to waste my afternoon with you.
DJ Gallo (3:09 PM)
You get to leave work at 4? Does your e-mail address end in .gov?
Andrew (Cleveland)
Did you know Megan Fox has toe thumbs?
DJ Gallo (3:09 PM)
Gross! I know I would kick her out of bed for eating crackers with her toe thumbs.
John (Dallas)
Wait, are you saying the John Ellway isn't coming back to QB for the Broncos?
DJ Gallo (3:10 PM)
He may. But he would still have no chance to win without Terrell Davis, same as before.
Dave (Alexandria, VA)
I like Drew's style. I'm only here because my boss left right after he realized Tiger was missing the cut at the British Open.
DJ Gallo (3:11 PM)
I hope your company has a generous grieving allowance. Poor guy.
John (Dallas)
Wow, I wonder what she could do with her feet?...........
DJ Gallo (3:12 PM)
I'm all toe thumbs when I get close to an attractive woman.
Tyler (Illinois)
you guys know that the all-star game was the most watched baseball game in 10 years (including any play-off performances) thats insane.
DJ Gallo (3:14 PM)
Well, yeah! When homefield in the World Series comes down to a face-off between all-time greats such as Adam Jones and Heath Bell ... PEOPLE WANT TO WATCH!!!
duck prosecution (Baltimore)
DJ, who are better athletes, baseball players or NASCAR drivers?
DJ Gallo (3:15 PM)
Baseball players. But NASCAR drivers are more adventurous drug users.
Adam Jones (Baltimore)
Before long, I will be an all-time great. Watch what you say initial boy.
DJ Gallo (3:16 PM)
Maybe. You're young. But speaking of initials ... you're someone who really needs to go with them. Adam Jones?! Come on, man! Don't you get tired of people ducking and screaming every time you introduce yourself?
Barry Bonds (San Francisco)
You realize I played baseball right? How many drugs can you inject in your butt. The answer is 7. Thanks for playing.
DJ Gallo (3:17 PM)
Good point. Is a steroid used to improve the muscle quality of cattle > = or < than meth?
Matt (Pensacola)
How many bad "Ernest and Julio" jokes do you get per week?
DJ Gallo (3:19 PM)
A few. But not nearly as many bad turtleneck jokes. Never wear a zip-up in a picture that will post as less than an inch-by-inch. That's what I tell all the kids. Second: lay off the meth.
Rigidy (Hartford)
Honestly, how much would you pay to watch a shaq - lesnar fight?
DJ Gallo (3:20 PM)
Meh. I'd pass. I would get a sense of the fight from following Shaq's twitter feed: ... OW! My arm! ... I think I'm dying! ... Gut punches hurt! Y I never do situps? ...
Fred (Cincinnati)
Speaking of JK Rowling, how long until you write another book? Or better yet, when does your first book get its own movie deal?
DJ Gallo (3:22 PM)
Unfortunately my first book was a bit too light on the wizards and people flying around on brooms. Big mistake. My next book will be out soon. It has wizards. (Really.)
Bobo the Hobo ((Hobotown))
Hey DJ, did you catch the Hobo All-Star game last week? Crazy game. The Hobo from Philadelphia threw a no-hitter. Of course, no one had a ball of any kind, so hitting was naturally rough going.
Sean (Philly)
Does Michael Jordan count as a Wizard?
DJ Gallo (3:25 PM)
Thanks a lot for the reminder, jerk. There goes five years of counseling.
matt (fort collins)
t.j. lavin, d.j. mbenga, a.c. slater, m.c. hammer. You're probably right in the middle somewhere.
aaron (PA)
who was your favorite baseball player as a kid? why?
DJ Gallo (3:27 PM)
Tony Pena. He had all kinds of funky ways to crouch behind the plate. And then Barry Bonds. Later he had all kinds of funky ways to take steroids.
Jonathan (Kentucky)
My uncle was a hobo - literally. He is featured in some of my earliest memories. He'd show up every year or two when I was a kid, and crash in our garage or on the family room floor if he'd bathed fairly recently. That is, until he showed up soon after my youngest brother was born, and puked all down the hallway. Then he was sent out to the yard to sleep it off under an oak tree.
DJ Gallo (3:27 PM)
I really have nothing to add. Other than that I would like to visit your family sometime.
nathan (nashville)
hey guys, im a fifteen year old kid who is playing ina fantasy league with my uncles. any idea on who is going to have the best D this year?
DJ Gallo (3:29 PM)
Pittsburgh is a safe bet. Easy schedule. And in-division they play against the Bengals, the Browns and the now Derrick Mason-less Ravens. Unrelated, how may uncles do you have? Enough for a fantasy football league? Are you one of the Jacksons?
Sean (Philly)
JB Jolmes, DJ Trahan, KJ Choi, WC Liang (?) are all initials on the British Open leaderboard.
Chuck Norris (Texas)
Nathan, the best Defense is not to offend. Right Guard
Fred (Cincinnati)
You're last book had Wizards, the Chosen One, and brooms (courtesy of Chicago Cubs opponents). How come that wasn't as successful as Harry Potter?
DJ Gallo (3:31 PM)
Good point. But the Harry Potter books came out before my book. I'm only a few tens of millions behind.
Dave (DC)
KD Lang, RW McQuarters, HR Puff 'N Stuff, Tylenol PM, etc.
DJ Gallo (3:33 PM)
Okay, people. I'm heading out of SportsNation. Enjoy your weekend and the conclusion of the Senior British Open. I hope to be back for another chat around the time of the Senior PGA. Old men playing golf ... CATCH THE FEVER!!! (But not a real fever, hopefully. Old people's immune systems aren't so good.)

Michael Phelps had two ambitions coming here. The first was to re-state his aura as one of the great Olympians while winning the three more medals which would make him the most successful competitor of all time. The other was to smell the flowers. Now, however he persuades himself otherwise, it appears he has just one.
It is, suddenly, savagely for the big man from Baltimore, honeysuckle time.
It was bad enough that the man he claims is his friend despite a ferocious rivalry, Ryan Lochte, reduced him to irrelevance as he left him struggling in his wake. Even more excruciating for the man who won six gold medals in Athens, then a record-breaking eight in Beijing, Phelps was left without any kind of medal to help him along to what would be the unique mark of 19.
Brazil's Thiago Pereira and Japan's Kosuke Hagino were also far too strong for Phelps in the men's 400m individual medley he recently swore he would never race again. It's a brutally demanding challenge for an ageing demi-god who admitted that for two or three years after his Beijing spectacular he lost the hard edge of his ambition.
Lochte won in 4:05.18, more than two points of a second behind Phelps' world record mark in Beijing four years ago.
With three gold medals already in his possession, this triumph delivered Lochte potential to prove himself the new superstar of the pool and if there was any doubt about this, the slumped shoulders of the man he had just thrashed so comprehensively removed the last of it.
Phelps may have hardened Lochte's resolve to a critical point earlier in the week when he said he'd come to the "closing hour" and the only question was how many toppings he wanted on his sundae.
Here last night it was not ice cream sending a chill through the greatest swimmer the world has ever seen. It was the understanding when he decided to fight back from those years of dwindling ambition, he wasn't doing a whole lot more than fooling himself. Here it has been Lochte, who like Phelps is 27, who has shown all the drive of authentic ambition. Yesterday, there were times when Phelps looked like a man playing a part – and with quite a degree of detachment.
After scraping into the final by the barest margin – and being consigned to lane 8 – Phelps came to the moment of decision with a distracted look on his face and a set of headphones. He was straining to look competitive in the first 100 metres of butterfly action, then began to shrivel with each upping of the pressure by Lochte and his pursuers.
Phelps shrugged and resolved to glean some comfort from the medals that still may be available to him in relay events but clearly this was a man who had looked into the future and not seen a lot to encourage him to carry on with a work schedule that his coach Bob Bowman was the other day describing as one of the great wonders of big-time sport.
Phelps declared: "I felt great for the first 200 metres but after that it just didn't happen. I was lucky to reach the final and that gave me the chance to get off on a good note but I didn't take it." Lochte said that he was in a state of shock but then, after a shortest of pauses, suggested that this was, for all his friend's reputation, not the greatest surprise of his competitive life.
"I knew I could win this race," said Lochte, "and I am very happy I've done it. I know Michael gave it everything he had so I will have to have a chat with him later and see how he is after that."
The best guess must be that he will find him extremely bruised. Going into the race, Phelps talked like a man determined to draw everything he could from his last run at the glory. "It is quite emotional to think I'll be doing this all for the last time and I certainly would make the best of it I can."
His coach Bowman said that his man had been brought back to the best of his condition and to the peak of his ambition. It is the kind of thing you hear handlers of ageing boxers say when they know a champion may have lost his edge.
Swimmers, even ones as great as Michael Phelps, tend to age a little quicker than most of their fellow sportsman, even fighters, and last night it looked as if the great man had agreed to a few fights too many.
Ryan Lochte was every inch the new man on the block and for the old champion there wasn't a lot more to do than reflect on how it is when you lose the best of your punches.Reuse content

Token: US Alien Quarter 2004 to Date
For those who don't know, an airborne object crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico, on July 7, 1947. Although a US military surveillance balloon is said to have crashed, a second explanation is that the object was a spacecraft containing extraterrestrial, alien lifeforms which were ultimately transferred to the super-secret military Area 51 in Nevada. A Google search on UFO, or unidentified flying object, retrieves a plethora of information on the subject, including some information that is, presumably, highly reputable.

LUIS LORENZO ARMENTERO, PLAINTIFF,v.S. WILLIS, DEFENDANT.
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In two separate filings, plaintiff has complained of his transfer to Avenal State Prison, which he believes is a retaliatory action for his having filed grievances and a lawsuit. Plaintiff's primary concern is that the transfer has apparently interfered with his ability to propound discovery because he was transferred on December 23, 2009, as he was starting to prepare his interrogatories. Plaintiff does not explain how discovery propounded at that point would have been timely as the Discovery and Scheduling Order, filed on October 23, 2009, setting February 19, 2010, as the discovery deadline plainly stated: "[a]ll requests for discovery pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 31, 33, 34 or 36 shall be served not later than sixty days prior to that date." Therefore, plaintiff is unlikely to have been able to timely serve his discovery requests even without having been transferred and separated from his property. In his second filing, it appears that plaintiff is stating that he has been reunited with his property as of January 16, 2010. Plaintiff also claims that he has not been permitted appropriate access to the Avenal State Prison library to make the necessary copies of his discovery requests. Plaintiff is informed, however, that it is only necessary to serve his discovery requests upon the defendant, and not to file them in court, until and unless they become at issue.
Despite the fact that plaintiff is unlikely to have been timely served even without having been transferred, the court will consider his circumstances sufficient cause to vacate the discovery deadline from the October 23, 2009 (docket # 20), Discovery and Scheduling Order. The court will also move the pretrial dispositive motion deadline in order to accommodate the extended discovery deadline. No further extension of time will be considered.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:
1. In light of plaintiff's filings on January 6, 2010 (docket # 23) and on February 8, 2010 (# 24), the dates for the discovery cut-off and the deadline for the filing of pretrial motions are hereby VACATED from the October 23, 2009 (docket # 20), Discovery and Scheduling Order;
2. The new extended discovery deadline is re-set to be June 16, 2010;
3. The deadline for filing pretrial motions is now extended and re-set to be November 17, 2010; and
4. There will be no further extensions of time.

Politics, Policy, and Progress in Washington, D.C.
Clean energy and climate policy took an important step forward on June 25 with the House of Representative's passage of H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security (ACES) Act. The action now moves to the Senate, where Senator Barbara Boxer has promised to release comparable legislation by early September.
The comprehensive program embodied by the ACES bill offers a useful next step forward should it become law. Most attention has focused on the proposed cap-and-trade program for reducing carbon emissions. Largely overlooked in the debate about the bill's merits have been the robust clean energy and transportation measures that it includes.
These energy and transportation measures include a mix of performance and technology standards, research and infrastructure investments, grants, and other incentives (such as tax credits, but also the incentives provided by the price on carbon pollution that the cap-and-trade program would establish).
Moving from a 30,000 foot perspective to a few specific examples from the bill's array of policy initiatives: tailpipe emission performance standards for off-road vehicles, new-building energy efficiency standards, the setting of retrofit standards for existing building and block funding to state programs to finance retrofit work, and performance standards for new power plants. Along with other provisions, these proposals could result in substantial reductions of carbon and greenhouse gas emissions even before a cap-and-trade program takes effect.
The cap-and-trade program outlined under the ACES bill represents imperfect progress, in part because of the vast amount of allowances granted to polluting industries. Emission reduction targets should be stronger, and the renewable electricity standard in the ACES bill guarantees little additional clean energy development beyond the many state standards already in place.
CRS continues to advocate for strong federal renewable electricity standards and the ability for states to go beyond federal mandates. The federal program also should follow the example of the Northeastern cap-and-trade program by including a mechanism to retire allowances for emission reductions from voluntary renewable energy market activity. This "off-the-top" feature would ensure that cap-and-trade design does not undercut the surging voluntary market for clean energy, which has experienced impressive growth in recent years and continues to provide consumers with the power to act on their personal commitments to curb climate change.
—Chris Busch, Policy Director

Consumers Recognize the Value of the Green-e Logo
A recent study by Green-e Marketplace and the Natural Marketing Institute reports that four out of five U.S. consumers support clean energy and 55 percent want companies to increase their use of renewable energy. The findings are reported in Unlocking the Power of Renewable Energy Certification to Build Credibility with Consumers, a survey of over 4,000 American consumers. The report finds that a majority surveyed agreed that businesses should reduce greenhouse gas emissions and that the consumers are more likely to purchase products bearing a seal that proves corporate sustainability commitments, like buying or using renewable energy. The study also finds that 60% of consumers want claims to be endorsed by a third party, and most prefer that the third party be a nonprofit organization. This is good news for companies that display the Green-e logo, a tool that helps distinguish company initiatives with real environmental benefit from well-crafted "greenwashing" campaigns. The study also finds the Green-e logo to have a strong position in the marketplace, with 21% of consumers now recognizing the logo. This is fundamental to businesses, which have found the Green-e logo to be one of the most effective ways to demonstrate their use of renewable power to consumers. Over 230 consumer products currently display the Green-e logo.
Have You Registered For Renewable Energy Markets 2009?
Renewable Energy Markets is just over a month away, and we've posted an ambitious, far-reaching program covering many aspects of renewable energy development, transmission, siting, and marketing, with a strong emphasis on the state of voluntary renewable energy markets. With hundreds of attendees representing utilities, REC marketers, regulators, policy experts, and others, expect an exciting week with a full program.
Jon Wellinghoff, recently appointed by President Obama as the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, will help open the conference with a keynote address on FERC's evolving role in power markets and promotion of renewable energy.
Jacques Beaudry-Losique, the Department of Energy's Deputy Assistant Secretary for Renewable Energy, will be a keynote speaker on Monday.
This year's conference takes place in Atlanta from September 13–16.

San Jose Earthquakes Go Green
Green-e partnered with the San Jose Earthquakes Major League Soccer team to Go Green for their July 25 match against D.C. United. By dedicating a portion of each ticket, the Earthquakes purchased enough Green-e Energy Certified renewable energy to cover the electricity usage associated with the game, which was the first Green-e Marketplace Certified Event by a Major League Soccer team. They also provided fans with conservation tips, reusable grocery bags, and flower seeds.
Bienvenidos a Energía Verde. Green-e exhibited at the game and distributed "Buy Renewable Energy" program inserts to encourage attending fans to support clean energy at home as well (click on the insert to download it, 1.7MB PDF). One side is in English, the other side is a Spanish translation that directed fans to a new Spanish-language page on the Green-e site that gives a general overview of the program and the renewable energy market.

Green-e Ts Have Passed Stakeholder Review
and Are Available for Sale
If you're like most of us at CRS, you're careful to only make claims that can be backed up by an overwhelming preponderance of evidence, or indisputable proof using widely recognized best-practice methodologies, or, whenever possible, independent, third party certification. But just because we're sticklers for accuracy and open-stakeholder standards-setting processes doesn't mean that we don't let it all hang out once in awhile. And when that happens, we like to sport our 100% organic cotton Green-e Logo Ts from American Apparel. Smooth unbleached cotton combined with a sporty fit and a well-placed—though tastefully understated—Green-e logo makes this perfect weekend wear for the renewable energy enthusiast. Take these shirts off our hands so we can get to work on 2.0. Limited sizes available, email jeff [at] resource-solutions.org to see what's available. Only $15, which includes shipping anywhere in the U.S.
Getting Ready For a Federal Renewable Electricity Standard
The Environmental Tracking Network of North America (ETNNA), an association of tracking systems and environmental registries that CRS incubated last year, has recently released a whitepaper that examines how the current system of renewable tracking systems would need to be restructured if a Federal renewable electricity standard (RES) takes effect. The idea put forth by the paper is that adapting our current system is far more efficient and cost effective than developing a duplicate infrastructure at the federal level. The paper is policy agnostic—it doesn't judge the desirability of a federal RES or examine the policy provisions of recent bills—but instead focuses on the feasibility of adapting existing systems to serve a federal RES system under the four different schemes suggested by the bills currently pending before Congress. Read System Changes to Serve a Federal Renewable Electricity Standard on the ETNNA website.

CRS, in collaboration with Bonneville Environmental Foundation, SmartPower, 3Degrees, other members of the Renewable Energy Marketers Association (REMA), and the Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies, has contributed to the development of two sign-on letters advocating for improvements to proposed federal policies so that they will be supportive of continued growth in the voluntary market for clean energy. The first letter is addressed to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which is working on cap-and-trade legislation. This letter advocates for a federal cap-and-trade program to adopt an off-the-top approach to voluntary renewable energy purchases as was done in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. (See the Support Voluntary Purchases of Clean, Safe, 21st Century Energy policy brief on off the top for more.) The second letter addresses the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, which will influence the shape of a federal renewable electricity standard. This letter calls for federal legislation to expressly prohibit the use of voluntary renewable purchases for compliance, to ensure confidence in voluntary claims, as well as additional clarification on the ownership of federal RECs for contracts created prior to enactment. REMA members have recently travelled to Capitol Hill to make the case for these changes. Both letters can be found on the CRS Publications page.
Meanwhile, CRS Policy Director Chris Busch conducted a well-attended webinar on interactions between policy developments unfolding in Washington, D.C., and renewable energy markets. He reprised this discussion for a Tides Center brownbag presentation. Chris has continued to represent CRS in the environmental coalitions active in the California and Western Climate Initiative policy development processes. He has led position development and coalesced groups around a number of discrete cap-and-trade design questions see the Policy Documents section of the CRS website for more detail). As a member of the California Air Resources Board's Economic and Technology Advancement Advisory Committee, Chris attended a Committee meeting in Sacramento on June 24. By the end of the year, this advisory body will produce a report on steps to advance technological innovation in California. Chris is participating in the clean energy and energy efficiency subgroups. [more]
Verification numbers show exciting growth in Green-e Climate's first year. After launching in February 2008, the program showed an impressive first year of certified sales, with volumes of over 151,300 metric tons. The majority of sales were from solar facilities, demonstrating not only market support of renewable energy–based offsets, but that offset buyers are looking beyond cost to specific technologies they want to support. The details will be included in the 2008 Green-e Verification Report, scheduled for release in mid-September in time for the annual Renewable Energy Markets conference, in Atlanta.
Green-e Climate also recently welcomed in Balanced Footprint as a new seller of certified products. A startup company with a dedicated cast of experienced entrepreneurs, Balanced Footprint is offering retail offsets sourced from domestic renewable energy and VCS-certified methane destruction projects. We're excited to have them in the program and look forward to working with them. [Learn more about Green-e Climate]
Learn more about it. Green-e just posted a new section on green-e.org focused on consumer education and commonly asked questions. This new "Learn" section contains FAQs, guidance on renewable energy claims and solar REC ownership, renewable energy basics and more, and was made possible with funding from the U.S. EPA. Take a look at www.green-e.org/learn.
Huge boost on voluntary renewable energy purchases. Green-e Energy retail sales in 2008 reached an all-time high of 13 million MWh, a 45% increase from 2007 certified sales. The number of retail customers buying certified renewable energy also grew substantially, increasing by over 125% from the year before. The 2008 Green-e Verification Report will illustrate sales and supply information for both Green-e Energy Certified renewable energy and Green-e Climate Certified greenhouse gas emission reductions, as well as Green-e Marketplace data regarding commercial purchasers commitments to renewable energy, when it is released in mid-September.

Todd Jones/Senior Analyst, Green-e Climate
Todd joined CRS in June, to assist in the development and implementation of Green-e Climate, and to contribute to policy work relating to integration of renewable energy markets and cap-and-trade policies. He comes to us from Yale University's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, where he earned a Master's degree in Environmental Science. Prior to his graduate studies, he worked as an intern with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization's then Energy Efficiency & Climate Change Unit in Vienna, Austria, and as an Environmental Scientist and Department Leader with Professional Service Industries, Inc. in Oakland, California. Todd is a proud Golden Bear, having completed his undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley in 2004 with a B.S. in Environmental Science and B.A. in Political Science. He is extremely excited to be a part of the CRS team, and to continue working at the forefront of the climate issue.
Karl Reichstetter/CRS Intern
Karl has been with CRS since June and has focused the majority of his efforts on Green-e Energy's annual verification process. In addition to reviewing verification reports and ensuring that marketers of clean energy are compliant with CRS's standards, Karl has developed various solutions to make the verification process less time consuming for CRS and marketers alike. At the end of the summer, Karl will head back to the east coast where he will wrap up his second year of business school at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Upon graduation, he hopes to work in the clean energy field. Recreationally, Karl has very few hobbies and continues to pride himself on the fact that he once bowled a 176.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has provided CRS with over $330,000 in funding since 1997. CRS projects that have benefited from DOE support are the Renewable Energy Markets conference and the development and spin-off of the Environmental Tracking Network of North America (ETNNA). ETNNA is a voluntary association of certificate tracking systems, regulators, and interested market participants that are vested in preventing double-counting and promoting harmonization among certificate tracking systems and emissions registries in North America. The Department of Energy's overarching mission is to advance the national, economic, and energy security of the United States; to promote scientific and technological innovation in support of that mission; and to ensure the environmental cleanup of the national nuclear weapons complex. The DOE has funded CRS through its Energy Security initiative, which promotes America's energy security through reliable, clean and affordable energy. [Learn more about the U.S. Department of Energy]
