X-FLARE: On Friday, 4/6/01 while we were playing hockey, a powerful X5-class solar flare exploded near sunspot group 9415. The blast propelled a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space -- and somewhat toward Earth. Friday's CME joins another CME already en route toward our planet following an M5-class explosion from the same sunspot group on Thursday. Both could deliver glancing blows to Earth's magnetosphere before the weekend is over. Sky watchers living above ~55 degrees geomagnetic latitude should be alert for auroras beginning late Saturday. This background is a SOHO extreme ultraviolet animation of Friday's X5 flare.

Miller Magic!   Friday
4/06/01
Tweedy rushed the puck in front of his own net and was floored by his own defensemen, Klinger. The puck eventually ended up on Fruit bread's stick and Fred gave the Blues an early 1-0 lead. Thor and Beak knocked each other silly a little later on. No one can explain how a right winger and a left winger on the same team can run into each other. One of the Blues defensemen tried to rush the puck in front of his own net and Beak poked it over to Thor Miller who fired a shot at the Anvil. Eddie made the save, but the puck magically rolled away from him and meandered toward the goal line. The Anvil swung his goalie stick and swatted it into his own net to tie the score. The next shift, the Miller Magic continued as Zagnut fired a clearing pass off of Thor's shin pad. That pass caromed right into the net to give the Whites a 2-1 lead. The Anvil is now on suicide watch. It looked like Fruit cake tied it up when Zagnut illegally slammed Stump into the boards. The goal was disallowed at the bar when a vote was taken. Klinger, Frank, King, Tweedy, Stump, Beak, Johnny, Beavis, Rich Storm and Magoo all voted to disallow the goal. The Blues only had Tommy, Uncle Bob, Mini Wheezer and Super Dave to try to get Fred a goal. It pays to go to the bar. The Whites also won the meaningless contest with goals by Tweedy and Johnny Z. 
Mike "The Nailer" DeVivo will return on Friday, the 13th. Beak's Retirement!
Put that date on your calendar and give the King a $40.00 check made out to Duffers Hockey. That $40 will gain you admission to Beak's Retirement Party at the Oak Lawn Holiday Inn. The King has graciously agreed to round up a table or two full of Duffers. The evening will include a family style dinner and open bar. Women's World Championship
Cammi Granato and her
U.S. Olympic Women's Ice Hockey Teammates have not helped ease the relations
with China. They whipped China 13-0. They fired 64 shots at the Chinese
goalie. Cammi had a hat trick and an assist. They also beat Germany 13-0,
The Russians 9-0 and Sweden 11-1.
Answer: They all spent time in the sin bin!
The
Peoria Rivermen clinched first place with
100 points as they downed the Dayton Bombers 3-2 to keep the Duffers' winning
streak in tact.
