  • Ice Hockey DIVISION I
    72 DIVISION I Ice Hockey DIVISION I 2002 Championship Highlights Gophers Golden in Overtime: Perhaps it was a slight tweak in tradition that propelled Minnesota to the championship April 6 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Not since 1987 had a non-Minnesotan laced up the skates for the Gophers. The streak ended with Grant Potulny, a native of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Potulny scooped up a loose puck and beat Maine goaltender Matt Yeats, 16:58 into overtime, to bring the Gophers their first championship since 1979. When the puck hit the back of the net, the majority of the 19,324 on hand – a Frozen Four record – erupted. The three-session combined attendance at the Xcel Energy Center also set a Frozen Four record, totaling 57,957, to break the mark set at the 1998 championship in Boston’s Fleet Center (54,355). For the complete championship story go to the April 15, 2002 issue of The NCAA News at Photo by Vince Muzik/NCAA Photos www.ncaa.org on the World Wide Web.

With both teams trading chances in the first two periods, goaltending was a key issue. Boston College’s Scott Clemmenson and North Dakota’s Karl Goehring made several key saves. The Eagles managed two goals and the North Dakota goalie Karl Goehring made 51 saves in the Frozen Four, Sioux one after two periods. earning him all-tournament team honors. North Dakota’s Lee Goren — nicknamed “Scorin’ Goren” — posted two third-period goals to help the Sioux to the title. The game-winner scored by North Dakota’s Jason Ulmer, came with 5:34 left in the game. With the championship, North Dakota trails Michigan for the overall lead. The Wolverines have claimed nine national championships.

  • Congressional Investigations: Subpoenas and Contempt Power
    Order Code RL31836 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Congressional Investigations: Subpoenas and Contempt Power April 2, 2003 Louis Fisher Senior Specialist in Separation of Powers Government and Finance Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Congressional Investigations: Subpoenas and Contempt Power Summary When conducting investigations of the executive branch, congressional committees and Members of Congress generally receive the information required for legislative needs. If agencies fail to cooperate or the President invokes executive privilege, Congress can turn to a number of legislative powers that are likely to compel compliance. The two techniques described in this report are the issuance of subpoenas and the holding of executive officials in contempt. These techniques usually lead to an accommodation that meets the needs of both branches. Litigation is used at times, but federal judges generally encourage congressional and executive parties to settle their differences out of court. The specific examples in this report explain how information disputes arise and how they are resolved. For legal analysis see CRS Report 95-464A, Investigative Oversight: An Introduction to the Law, Practice, and Procedure of Congressional Inquiry, by Morton Rosenberg, and CRS Report RS30319, Presidential Claims of Executive Privilege: History, Law, Practice and Recent Developments, by Morton Rosenberg.

  • Reagan's Cabinet Appointments Get Positive Ratings from the Public
    The Harris Survey For Release: Thursday AM, January 22nd, 1981 1981 #7 ISSN 0273-1037 REAGAN'S CABINET APPOINTMENTS GET POSITIVE RATINGS FROM THE PUBLIC By Louis Harris A 52-34 percent majority of Americans gives President Ronald Reagan positive marks for his Cabinet appointments. The prevailing belief is that an incoming president should have a chance to name his own people to his team, and they should be permitted to try their hand at solving governmental problems over an initial period of time. Some partisan strains still carryover from the election, however, and the Reagan Cabinet will soon be subject to criticism if its performance does not meet the high expectations people have set for it. For example, those who voted for Carter in the last election give the new Cabinet negative marks by 49-38 percent, as do liberals by 50-37 percent. But the majority of Reagan voters, along with Republicans and independents, give the new President high scores on his overall Cabinet selections. There are some wide variations in the public response to the Cabinet, however, as shown by the results of this latest Harris Survey of 1,499 adults nationwide. Four appointments receive broad acceptance: --U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick's nomination leads the list, with a 57-27 percent majority that thinks her appointment was sound and right. This is a reflection of people's desire to have more women in prominent government positions. --A 55-27 percent majority gives President Reagan high marks for naming Samuel Pierce, a black New York lawyer, as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

  • DETERMINING the TOP ALL-TIME COLLEGE COACHES THROUGH MARKOV CHAIN-BASED RANK AGGREGATION Contents 1. Introduction 12 2
    DETERMINING THE TOP ALL-TIME COLLEGE COACHES THROUGH MARKOV CHAIN-BASED RANK AGGREGATION MELISSA JAY, VENKATASAI GANESH KARAPAKULA, AND EMMA KRAKOFF Abstract. We develop a mathematical model that determines the \best all-time college coach(es)" of the past century in a given sport. We propose ranking college coaches through Markov chain- based aggregation of ranked lists using holistic criteria. Our model synthesizes four full or partial ranked lists based on win percentages, victories, career durations, and effort levels to produce the final comprehensive rankings. As a demonstration, we determine that Ron Mason, Augie Garrido, and Gus Donoghue are the top all-time college coaches of the past century in NCAA Division I men's ice hockey, baseball, and men's soccer, respectively. Our general model is applicable not only across all possible sports but also to both male and female coaches. Additionally, it accounts for differences among coaches in their coaching time-periods.
