She began by acknowledging the recent tragedies and loss of life in our country and in Boulder, Colo., and asked for a moment of silence. Laura Ewing called roll, and a quorum was established. ACTION ITEM Approval of the February 10, 2021, Executive Committee Meeting Minutes Chair Anderson asked for a motion to approve the February 10, 2021, Executive Committee Meeting minutes. Commissioner Fred Lokken MOVED TO APPROVE the motion and Commissioner Fred Baldwin SECONDED. Zoom poll voting was used and the motion passed. ACTION ITEM Approval of Compact for Faculty Diversity – A Partnership with Other Regional Compacts to Reinitiate the Effort Chair Anderson asked President Demarée Michelau to present the action item. President Michelau said WICHE proposes to partner with the Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC), the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE), and the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) to seek $260,000 in planning grant funds over a nine-month period to assess the feasibility of reinitiating the Compact for Faculty Diversity. The Compact, created in the early 1990s, was an interregional initiative focused on increasing commitment to, investment in, and achievement of diversity, equity, and inclusion in faculty and staff at postsecondary institutions throughout the U.S. The planning grant funds will be used to gather data, convene regional and national leaders, and develop strategic plans for a multi-faceted, long-term collaborative effort to develop a more diverse faculty. The funder that the Compacts are presenting the grant proposal to is the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Videoconference 1-3 Commissioner Ann Millner MOVED TO APPROVE a Compact partnership with WICHE, MHEC, NEBHE, and SREB to seek planning grant funds to assess the feasibility of reinitiating the Compact for Faculty Diversity. Commissioner Camille Preus SECONDED the motion. There were no questions or discussion. Zoom poll voting was used and the motion passed with one abstention from Idaho. ACTION ITEM Approval of New Mexico’s SARA State Renewal Application Chair Anderson asked President Michelau to present the action item. President Michelau began with a reminder that state membership in SARA is renewed on a biennial basis from the time of the state’s initial membership. Staff complete the initial evaluation and gather renewal materials. The W-SARA Regional Steering Committee (RSC) reviews the application materials and then votes to approve or not approve a recommendation for renewal to the WICHE Commission (the Commission). New Mexico and Wyoming are the two states that are up for renewal. The question before the Executive Committee is if the states meet all of the requirements set forth in criteria 1-16 of the SARA state application and have affirmed that they can and will operate under the SARA criteria for membership over the course of the renewal period.

    Virginia Chess Newsletter 1999 - #6 1 The Chesapeake Challenge Cup is a rotating club team trophy that grew out of an informal rivalry between two Maryland clubs a couple years ago. Since Chesapeake then the competition has opened up and the Arlington Chess Club captured the cup from the Fort Meade Chess Armory on October 15, 1999, defeating the 1 1 Challenge Cup erstwhile cup holders 6 ⁄2-5 ⁄2. The format for the Chesapeake Cup is still evolving but in principle the idea is that a defense should occur about once every six months, and any team from the “Chesapeake Bay drainage basin” is eligible to issue a challenge. “Choosing the challenger is a rather informal process,” explained Kurt Eschbach, one of the Chesapeake Cup's founding fathers. “Whoever speaks up first with a credible bid gets to challenge, except that we will give preference to a club that has never played for the Cup over one that has already played.” To further encourage broad participation, the match format calls for each team to field players of varying strength. The basic formula stipulates a 12-board match between teams composed of two Masters (no limit), two Expert, and two each from classes A, B, C & D. The defending team hosts the match and plays White on odd-numbered boards. It is possible that a particular challenge could include additional type boards (juniors, seniors, women, etc) by mutual agreement between the clubs. Clubs interested in coming to Arlington around April, 2000 to try to wrest away the Chesapeake Cup should call Dan Fuson at (703) 532-0192 or write him at 2834 Rosemary Ln, Falls Church VA 22042.

  • History of Chess from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia for the Book by H
    History of chess From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the book by H. J. R. Murray, see A History of Chess. Real-size resin reproductions of the 12th century Lewis chessmen. The top row shows king, queen, and bishop. The bottom row shows knight, rook, and pawn. The history of chess spans some 1500 years. The earliest predecessor of the game probably originated in India, before the 6th century AD. From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the 15th century. The "Romantic Era of Chess" was the predominant chess playing style down to the 1880s. It was characterized by swashbuckling attacks, clever combinations, brash piece sacrifices and dynamic games. Winning was secondary to winning with style. These games were focused more on artistic expression, rather than technical mastery or long-term planning. The Romantic era of play was followed by the Scientific, Hypermodern, and New Dynamism eras.[1] In the second half of the 19th century, modern chess tournament play began, and the first World Chess Championship was held in 1886. The 20th century saw great leaps forward in chess theory and the establishment of the World Chess Federation (FIDE). Developments in the 21st century include use ofcomputers for analysis, which originated in the 1970s with the first programmed chess games on the market. Online gaming appeared in the mid-1990s.

  • Conference Committees and Amendments Between the Houses
    Resolving Legislative Differences in Congress: Conference Committees and Amendments Between the Houses Updated May 22, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov 98-696 Resolving Legislative Differences in Congress: Conference Committees and Amendments Summary The Constitution requires that the House and Senate approve the same bill or joint resolution in precisely the same form before it is presented to the President for his signature or veto. To this end, both houses must pass the same measure and then attempt to reach agreement about its provisions. The House and Senate may be able to reach agreement by an exchange of amendments between the houses. Each house has one opportunity to amend the amendments from the other house, so there can be Senate amendments to House amendments to Senate amendments to a House bill. House amendments to Senate bills or amendments are privileged for consideration on the Senate floor; Senate amendments to House bills or amendments generally are not privileged for consideration on the House floor. In practice, the House often disposes of amendments between the houses under the terms of a special rule reported by the Rules Committee. The Senate sometimes disposes of House amendments by unanimous consent, but the procedures associated with the exchange of amendments can become complicated. Alternatively, the House and Senate can each disagree to the position of the other on a bill and then agree to create a conference committee to propose a package settlement of all their disagreements. Most conferees are drawn from the standing committees that had considered the bill initially. The House or Senate may vote to instruct its conferees before they are appointed, but such instructions are not binding.
