On a rocky outcrop almost 2 miles beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean off Costa Rica, researchers have documented an active octopus nursery. It may be the third known example of a brooding site where huge numbers of the creatures cluster together.
During a three-week expedition this month, scientists on board Schmidt Ocean Institute’s Falkor research ship saw hundreds of octopuses and watched their babies hatch at the soccer field-size Dorado Outcrop. Located 2,800 meters (1.7 miles) deep in the lower reaches of the so-called twilight zone, it was one of six underwater mountains surveyed by the vessel’s underwater robot, ROV SuBastian.
“We could see that some of them were ready to pop — like the octopus just came out,” said geomicrobiologist Beth Orcutt, a senior research scientist at the Maine-based Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, who led the expedition along with Jorge Cortés of the University of Costa Rica. “It was a really exciting moment because we weren’t expecting it.” Cortés is a researcher at the university’s Center for Research in Marine Sciences and Limnology.
The expedition also captured spectacular footage of other deep-ocean life, including tripod fish, rays and coral gardens.
On July 11 2004 Bob Peatman entered his son, Carter Frank Peatman,
Please join us in welcoming Carter Peatman, EIT, to the Breedlove Land Planning team! Carter graduated from Georgia Tech with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering in 2019. He has professional experience in infrastructure design projects and has worked on a variety of residential projects designing subdivisions. In his free time, Carter plays chess competitively and received the title of National Master in August of 2016. (https://breedlovelandplanning.wordpress.com/2022/01/26/carter-peatman-joins-the-breedlove-land-planning-team/)
in his first USCF rated tournament, the 2004 ATLANTA JULY SCHOLASTIC, at the Atlanta Chess & Game Center, aka, the ‘House of Pain’. Young Carter lost all four games that day (https://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain.php?200407114930.3-12945576). Many players are never seen again after such a debacle. Then there those of us, like this writer, who lost all SIX games over a weekend in his first tournament, who return to the A&P (Abuse & Punishment) for more.
Carter was not a prodigy. It took him until May of 2009 to see his first class “B” rating, which was achieved after about three hundred rated games had been played. Many Chess players, maybe the majority of those who play tournament Chess, never make it to class “B” credibility. Carter did not stop there, but worked hard on his game as he continued to climb the rating ladder. We watched as Carter gained confidence along with points. Carter Peatman was a quiet, studious, youngster with a serious demeanor.
David Spinks was the tournament director at Carter’s initial foray into the world of Chess, and David was very fond of saying, “You’ve gotta pull for SOMEBODY, MAN!” The first time it was heard by these ears was after I said, “Can’t you just enjoy the game without rooting for anyone?”
I must admit that whatever you wanna call it, I secretly “rooted” or “pulled” for Carter Peatman when he played at the House of Pain, and I currently live, and sometimes die, watching now as National Master Carter Peatman represents the Great State of Georgia each and every time he sits down at the Chessboard anywhere in the USA. That has been done because Carter reminded me of me, as I was not the most talented Chess player and had to work hard, very hard, just like Carter, to obtain even a modicum of credibility. I have always thought of Carter as the Bruce Springsteen of Southern Chess because Bruce is known as the Working-Class Superhero (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/bruce-springsteen-working-class-superhero-89593/).
Over the years I have played over every game found by my hard working hero, NM Carter Peatman. Without anyone knowing, I have lived a vicarious life through watching Carter play Chess.
In the second round of the 7th Annual Carolinas Classic NM Peatman faced Grandmaster Jesse Kraai.
d4 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Bf4 e6 4. e3 Bd6 5. Bxd6 Qxd6 6. c4 Nbd7 (The most often played move, according to the 365Chess database has been 6…0-0, which has been seen in 35 games. It is followed by 6… dxc4, played in eleven games, followed by 6… b6 in seven games; and 6… Qb4+, which has appeared in six games. Then comes the choice of the Stockfish Chess program, 6…c5, which has been seen in action in five games. Frankly, it just ‘feels’ or ‘looks’ right to these old eyes…) 7. Nc3 c6 8. cxd5 (8 Bd3 has been most often played, and it is the move SF will play) 8…exd5 9. Bd3 O-O 10. O-O Re8 11. Qc2 Nf8 (SF drops the Lady back to e7) 12. a3 (This move is not contained in the 365Chess database. SF plays 12 h3, and it should be obvious the program will play the move to prevent black from playing Bg4. Yet after the move played in the game, the program shows the move played by Carter) 12…Qe7 13. b4 a6 (Now SF does play 13…Bg4) 13. b4 a6 14. Ne5 (SF shows 14 Rae1) 14…Ng4 (SF prefers 14…a5) 15. Nxg4 (SF does NOT take the knight, preferring moving the steed to f3) 15…Bxg4 16. Ne2 (The ‘Fish prefers asking black a question with 16 h3) 16…Bxe2 17. Qxe2 Nd7 (SF would move the horse to e6, and so should you) 18. a4 (SF says 18 Rfc1) 18…Nf6 (SF would have played 18…g6) 19. b5 (SF plays the more circumspect Qb2) 19…axb5 20. axb5 c5 (I did not care for this move and would have simply taken the pawn, and like that blind squirrel, the AW found the nut!) 21. dxc5 Qxc5 22. Qb2 Rxa1 23. Rxa1 Ne4 24. Rc1 Qb6 25. g3 g6 26. Bf1 Nd6 27. Rd1 Qc5 28. Qd2 Re5 29. Rc1 Nc4 30. Qc3
Position after 30 Qc3 with black to move
30…f6 (I did not care for this weakening move.
31. Qb3 Kg7 (Although Stockfish shows this as best it also shows white now has a winning, +1.5, advantage) 32. Bxc4 (Which the GM now tosses away! It’s back to even, Steven. At this point the GM had half an hour on his clock. NM Peatman had only FOUR MINUTES) 32…dxc4 (A horrible, immediately game losing blunder) 33. Rxc4 Qxb5 34. Rc7+ Kh6 35. Qf7 Qb1+ 36. Kg2 Qe4+ 37. f3 Qxe3 38. Qxh7+ Kg5 39. Qh4+ 1-0
The words of my mentor, the IM of GM strength, Boris Kogan, came to mind after presenting one of my games when mired in time trouble. “CANNOT PLAY CHESS THIS WAY!” For Mr. Peatman it is IMPERATIVE he get his time trouble addiction under control. Time trouble is caused by insecurity and indecisiveness, which shows a lack of CONFIDENCE! Unfortunately, I can say that with authority…
FM Ryan Amburgy vs NM Carter Peatman 7th Annual Carolinas Classic Round 4 D20 Queen’s Gambit Accepted, 3.e4 (365chess.com) Queen’s Gambit Accepted: Central Variation, Greco Variation (liches.org)
d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. e4 b5 4. a4 c6 5. axb5 cxb5 6. Nc3 Qb6 7. b3 e6 8. bxc4 bxc4? (The question mark comes not from Stockfish but from this writer, who was shocked to see the lack of a question mark. What SF does show is the move causes white to go from a +0.2 to +1.0 after the move, which was not found at 365chess.com. The only move to have been played is 8…Bb4. Inquiring minds wanna know, so I surfed on over to the ChessBaseDataBase (https://database.chessbase.com/) where there are 19 games with 8…Bb4; none with 8…bxc4. There’s a reason… This shows a problem. To progress these daze a player MUST know his openings, in and out; backwards and forwards; up and down, and all around, if’n you get my drift… A player ‘winging it’ today is at a tremendous disadvantage. If one does not know his opening(s) he will usually fall behind on time. Speaking of time… Prior to Mr. Peatman playing his eighth move the clock shows, according to lichess.org, 1:47:34. After making his Theoretical Novelty it read: 1:47:30. You do the math… Even with an increment it is obvious Carter played too quickly. When a top player is confronted with a position with which he is unfamiliar he usually takes much time before deciding on a move. Carter was already under the gun playing black. Now he has dug himself a hole from which it will be difficult to extricate himself) 9. Rb1 (Fortunately for NM Peatman his opponent plays a move given a dubious ?! for good reason. FM Amburgy had to be out of his ‘book’ so one would think he would THINK for some time before making his next move. Does four or five minutes qualify? Not if you do not play 9 Bxc4)
Position after 9 Rb1 with black to move
9…Qd8 (The SF program also gives this move a dubious ?! Here’s the deal… Because of the SF program I have learned many things, one of which is it will almost always attack a loose piece. That is why, not seeing the opening but being presented with the position after 8. bxc4 for the first time, I would have played 8…Bb4. It is also the reason I would have played 9…Qa5. The sad thing is that if I were giving a lesson and one of the chowder headed kids showed me the moves of this game I would have IMMEDIATELY questioned him on both or those moves, and I am willing to wager that the vast majority of you would, too. What has happened to Chess? What have the increasingly faster time controls done to the level of the game being played? The move 9…Qd8 is so bad it is the kind of move former USCF Policy Board member Allen Priest,
rated 666, or thereabouts, would make. Carter thought for about twelve minutes before sounding the retreat. What was he thinkin’?)
After his opponent took the pawn with 10 Bxc4:
Position after 10 Bxc4 with black to move
NM Peatman answered by moving his knight into no man’s land with 10…Nc6:
Position after the ill-fated, and game losing, 10…Nc6
Initially it was difficult to comprehend this move. One does not often see a move like this played on the board in a tournament game. The longer I cogitated the less I understood. When teaching Chess the lessons begin with three questions, the first of which is, “Why did my opponent make that move?” If you are unable to answer that question you cannot answer the next question. What could NM Carter Peatman possibly have been thinking?
As regular readers know that ‘back in the day’ I attempted to play the Najdorf variation of the Sicilian because that was the opening played by Bobby Fischer. There is a memory of Bobby saying something about it being a revelation he could play for a win with the black pieces when he played the Najdorf. (After checking, this was discovered: “The turning point in my career came with the realization that Black should play to win instead of just steering for equality.” -Bobby Fischer [https://www.azquotes.com/author/4837-Bobby_Fischer]) I am willing to wager the Najdorf had something to do with Bobby’s thinking…
The Grandmaster title ain’t what it used to be. It has become common to see Grandmasters rated in the 2400s, which was considered “Senior Master” ‘back in the day’. Just the other day I noticed a “WGM” rated a little over 2000. The current United States Chess Federation rating system considers anyone rated between 2000 and 2199 to be an “Expert”. ‘Back in the day’ the GM title meant something. The highest rated Chess player on the planet, Magnus Carlsen, is rated 28?? something. The best Chess programs are rated in the 3800s. Ratings are in 200 point groups, such as 1600 to 1799, class “B”, and 1800 to 1999, which is class “A”. Therefore, the best Chess programs are literally FIVE groups better than Magnus Carlsen. To give you a better understanding of how huge a difference that is, a player rated 1200 is five groups below a National Master, which begins at 2200. As Bob Dylan sang, “Things Have Changed.”
The Chess programs have obviously revolutionized how the opening is played. An example would be the sixth move considered best by the Stockfish program at lichess.org, 6 f3. Not once in any game did I ever see that particular move played against my beloved Najdorf. Today 365chess.com shows the sixth moves Bg5; Be2; and Be3 having been attempted four times as often as 6 f3. 6 Bc4, Fischer’s favorite ‘back in the day’, has been played more that twice as often as 6 f3. 6 f4 has been played one thousand times more often than 6 f3.
In the penultimate round eight of the recently completed National Open in Las Vegas, more commonly known as “Lost Wages.” GM Fidel Corrales Jimenez
faced the Najdorf defense played by GM Illia Nyzhnyk.
This game it has stuck with me, like a burr under the saddle… It is not often one sees a Grandmaster play a major opening this badly. Let me explain…
GM Fidel Corrales Jimenez vs GM Illia Nyzhnyk 2023 National Open Round 8
e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bg5 e6 7. f4 h6 (‘Back in the day’ the General in charge of the Najdorf variation usually played either 7…Be7, or 7…Qb6, the “Poisoned Pawn” variation of the Najdorf Sicilian. SF considers 7..h6 best) 8. Bh4 Qb6 (Maybe this should be called the “Delayed Poisoned Pawn” variation?! SF considers it best) 9. a3 Be7 10. Bf2 Qc7 11. Qf3 Nbd7 (The most often played move, with 89 games in the 365 database, but the move considered best by SF is 11…b5, with only 26 examples extant) 12. g4 (SF gives this move a dubious ?! For the first time in the game SF also shows black assuming an advantage, albeit small. Nevertheless, the pendulum has swung. 365 shows 86 players have played 12 0-0-0; only 3 have tried the game move)
Position after 12 g4
When following the game in ‘real time’ I turned the board around, as I invariably do when watching, or replaying any Najdorf. One never forgets his first love… If I had been sitting on the black side of the board there is absolutely no doubt in my mind I would have played 12…g5! with RELISH! It is not often one gets to play such a strong move this early in the game…
12… g5 (I would have been expecting white to follow with 13 f5, which is what I would have played sitting behind the white pieces) 13. h4 (Yet another ?! pops up from the machine with this move)
Let us stop right here before we go any further. At this point the record shows GM Fidel Corrales Jimenez had 1:22:14 left on his clock, as he had been blitzing out his weak moves. After playing the ill-fated 14 h4 it shows 1:20:19. I kid you not… I have no idea what was the time control but it is more than a little obvious FCJ was making moves at an extraordinary rate in the opening of this game. The question is “why”? After 13 h4 the game continued with 13… gxf4 14. Be2 (0-0-0) Ne5 15. Qxf4 Nexg4 16. Bxg4 e5 17. Qxf6 Bxf6, bringing us to this position:
White to move after 17…Bxf6
Prior to making his ill-fated move GM FCJ had 1:16:53 on his clock. After blundering horribly the GM had 1:17:20 on his clock! I cannot make this up! There is something hinky about this game, played as it was in the penultimate round as if it were a speed-type game. The result allowed GM Nyzhnyk to “play”, and I use the word extremely loosely, only FOUR moves in the last round game prior to offering a draw to his opponent with the Black pieces, GM Mikhail Antipov, which was accepted. Those two players, along with two other GMs, took home $4,625. GM Fidel Corrales Jimenez won his last round game and took home only chump change of $600 official US dollars.
It is currently no longer possible for a Grandmaster, any GM, no matter the rating, to ‘wing it’. A Grandmaster, every GM, must know deep opening theory, especially of one of the most, if not the most popular. This game could be an example to illustrate the point, unless there was more to it than Grandmaster Jimenez making a fool of himself by playing the opening like someone like, for instance, USCF policy board member Fun Fong,
This reminded me of the lyrics from a Bob Dylan song: Because something is happening here/But you don’t know what it is/Do you, Mister Jones? (https://www.bobdylan.com/songs/ballad-thin-man/)
‘Getting in shape for my debates with President Biden!’ Pumped up RFK Jnr, 69, posts clip of him doing NINE bench presses at ‘mecca of bodybuilding’ Gold’s Gym – after CNN’s Jake Tapper blasted him for ‘wild and false’ story about him
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a video of him doing push ups outside the legendary Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach – as he called for a debate with Joe Biden.
Unfortunately for Junior an old article first published September 8, 2013 surfaced.
RFK’s sex diary: His secret journal of affairs By Isabel Vincent and Melissa Klein June 26, 2023
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s journal is full of mistresses and Catholic guilt. The Post also exclusively revealed RFK’s secret slams against Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Governor Cuomo – and insight into his days full of celebrities, yachts and falcons.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. grappled with what he called his biggest defect — “my lust demons” — while keeping a scorecard of more than two dozen conquests, according to his secret diary.
The thick, red journal was found in their home by his wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, who, distraught over their impending divorce and Kennedy’s serial philandering, committed suicide last year.
When will the Macon Bacon baseball team change its name?
When pigs fly, according to the central Georgia team’s response to a group of plant-based activists urging them to stop promoting a meat that studies have shown has health risks.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which describes itself as an animal liberation research and advocacy organization, wrote a letter to the Macon Bacon’s president, Brandon Raphael, earlier in June.
It suggested the team update its name to include mention of a plant-based alternative – like “Facon Bacon or Mushroom Bacon” – to help their fans stay healthy, according to the letter.
The Washington, D.C.- based group of doctors cited research from the World Health Organization that showed eating processed meat like bacon raises the risk of colorectal cancer.
“They had a contest to pick a name, and they could have called it Macon Noise or Macon Hits and other kinds of fun things,” the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s president, Neal Barnard, told CNN.
“They came up with Macon Bacon, and they serve enough bacon to sink a ship at their stadium,” Barnard said.
The Macon Bacon’s mascot is a 7-foot slice of bacon named Kevin.
Courtesy Macon Bacon
The committee’s letter, dated June 1, suggested that the mascot should “reveal that he is actually plant-based bacon.”
The statement also requested the team update its concessions menu to include healthier options in place of its current selection, which features bacon-focused items like 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, Steak-Cut Bacon and Bacon-Loaded Cheese Fries.
The team was “very surprised” to receive the letter but didn’t plan to respond until the committee ramped up their efforts to attract the Macon Bacon’s attention last week, according to Raphael.
“The group put up a pretty creative billboard in our city (that) had a skull and crossbones and said, ‘Macon residents – keep bacon off your plate,’” Raphael told CNN.
Raphael issued a statement on Wednesday responding to the committee and said the team was “disappointed in the disapproval” of its branding.
“The Macon Bacon do not view ourselves as a glorification of an unhealthy lifestyle; rather, we pride ourselves on being a fun-natured organization focused on bringing families and communities together (in) Middle Georgia and beyond,” Raphael’s letter stated.
The response also noted the team’s concession menu does include a plant-based option.
“With that, the Macon Bacon will be sizzling forever and will not consider a name change. Ever,” Raphael’s letter concluded.
Raphael told CNN that while the team’s intention wasn’t to take a stance, “we just don’t want to change our name, we’ve worked so hard to get where we are.”
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has targeted other sports teams, like the Milwaukee Milkmen, encouraging them to opt for branding that promotes healthier food choices.
The baseball team is located in the Dairy State of Wisconsin.
“We have been pushing them because there are very clear links between milk drinking and both prostate cancer and breast cancer,” Barnard said.
Not discouraged by the Macon Bacon’s response, Barnard said their reply of “no” is better than silence.
“What it means is they’re engaged, they’ve heard the message,” Barnard said.
There was a four way tie at the top of the National Open leader board with each player scoring seven out of nine. In an article at the “new.uschess.org” (I must have missed the change from “old” uschess to the “new” uschess, and cannot help but wonder when, and why, the change occured…) by By JJ Lang, published June 22, 2023, one finds: “In the “main event” (wait, that’s the other June Vegas event isn’t it), four grandmasters tied for first with 7/9. Nyzhnyk and Antipov — familiar names from the Super Swiss — shook hands quickly in the final round to guarantee a share of the top prize alongside Yaser Quesada Perez (who had requested a last-round bye). Several other players entered the round on 6/8, but only Vasif Durarbayli was able to win his game. The four players each took home $4,625 for their efforts.”
“Ten players finished in a tie for fifth, including Niemann, whose undefeated tournament featured one draw too many. Niemann was one of eight grandmasters in this group, along with IM Justin Wang and FM Ezra Chambers. The two non-grandmasters earned $2,450 apiece thanks to the inclusion of u2400 and u2500 prizes.”
“With 1,212 players competing across the National Open and accompanying class sections, the organizers were proud to report that not only did the tournament break the previous attendance record, but they smashed it by 99 people!” (https://new.uschess.org/news/double-or-nothing-las-vegas)
Unfortunately it was not only the previous attendance record that was smashed. There were myriad problems with the coverage of the tournament at lichess.org. This was seen, and copied, from the ‘chat’ section at lichess.org:
DizzyInMyHead are we going to have a Nyzhnyk – Hans game? UNSPB Yes, round 1 will be Niemann white vs Nyzhnyk UNSPB Board* jcsan thats nice UNSPB I predict a Spanish or a Nimzo… JayStober I’ll put my dime on 1. Nf3. Pennui Where are the games? DizzyInMyHead @Pennui very good question Vixr starting with delay as usual Mickeydeadguys Pretty long delay UNSPB chess24 has the game DizzyInMyHead can you post the link here? Celine8128 https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/las-vegas-national-open-2023/6/1/1 DizzyInMyHead ok thanks 6/17/23 2:30 pm
It is not good when Chess fans must inform others where the games can be found. I do not watch games at Chess24, or any other Chess website featuring a bright white background, because it is hard on my eyes. Although Chess.com features a darker background I do not go there, for what should be obvious reasons. Since the National Open is held only once a year the organizers should have been prepared, having earlier worked out the ‘kinks’. A note to organizers, if you cannot make it on lichess.org you cannot make it anywhere.
The climatic game of the tournament:
GM Illia Nyzhnyk vs GM Mikhail Antipov Las Vegas National Open 2023 Round 9 Queen’s Gambit Declined: Three Knights Variation
If you are a fan of Chess it does not get any better than this, now does it? The game is, no doubt, the 2023 National Open pièce de résistance. For a Grandmaster what could be better than winning a four figure prize by NOT PLAYING CHESS! Is Chess a great game, or what?
Besides the two “players” above, and I use the word loosely, there were two other players who ‘hit the jackpot’, albeit by much different methods. GM Vasif Durarbayli earned his place on the podium by defeating GM Brandon Jacobson in the ultimate round. Maybe the rule should be changed to having the player(s) actually playing a decisive game in the last round earning DOUBLE the digits earned by those who agree to an early draw. The game can be found here: (https://lichess.org/broadcast/us-national-open-2023/round-9/tbQGgfZU)
Antichesspov got in on the non-action early in the event with this non-game:
GM Daniel H Fernandez vs Mikhail Antipov Las Vegas National Open 2023 Round 5 Ruy Lopez: Open Berlin Defense, l’Hermet Variation
Things are so screwed up in Chess that ten players tied for 5th-14th place, one half point behind the ‘winners’ with 6 1/2 points. Unfortunately, because the prize distribution is so skewed, there was a wide disparity in the amount of digits earned. Therefore I will organize the players by the amount of prize money won.
It would seem that with a prize distribution like this players would, maybe, attempt to win each and every game. Something is wrong when Chess players ‘game the system’ in order to ‘earn’ a larger chunk of the prize fund.
As this is being written the now legendary Castle Chess Camp Chess tournament is in progress right here in the city in which I was born and reside, Decatur, Georgia. The Castle Chess Camp and tournament are hosted each and every year by Emory University. (https://xpertchesslessons.wordpress.com/2022/07/01/the-2022-castle-chess-camp/)
Chess has been inundated by hordes of children recently, which has obviously been a boon for the Royal Game. Children naturally emulate, and learn from, adults. What is being taught to the children? Would you want your child to make a draw after NOT PLAYING Chess?
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — Mysterious lights in the night sky above Middletown have some residents puzzled.
Around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, multiple people said they witnessed strange rotating green lights above them.
Bryce Garrick was in his car when he saw the lights. They appear to be moving in a clockwise fashion while hovering before quickly jetting across the sky then disappearing.
The Bathroom Fight Fueling Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert’s Break-Up
A shouting match in a bathroom. Kevin McCarthy. Donald Trump. Ukraine aid. They’re all contributing to the split between two of the far right’s most high-profile figures.
Ursula Perano and Zachary Petrizzo
Jan. 17, 2023
The first source said Greene was in a stall and, upon coming out, confronted Boebert about taking money from McCarthy for her re-election and then turning against McCarthy when it came time to vote. The Colorado Republican was allegedly unaware that Greene was also in the bathroom at the time.
“That’s when Lauren said, ‘Don’t be ugly,’” the first source said, before she—in the words of this source—“ran out like a little schoolgirl.”
Asked about the dustup in the Capitol, Boebert simply said, “See you later. Bye.” (Boebert didn’t return The Daily Beast’s subsequent request for comment ahead of publication.)
Greene didn’t return The Daily Beast’s request for comment.
At least one other member is alleged to have witnessed the exchange: Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI). But over the course of three interviews with three different Daily Beast reporters, Dingell would not say what she saw.
“What happens in the ladies room stays in the ladies room,” Dingell said.
