After he left the Jaguars, he has not worn a suit since and has worn team-issued apparel for his subsequent coaching jobs. |

On 21 November 2006, the seven participants formally agreed to fund the creation of a nuclear fusion reactor.

ITER was originally expected to cost approximately €5 billion, but the rising price of raw materials and changes to the initial design have seen that amount almost triple to €13 billion. The reactor is expected to take 10 years to build with completion scheduled for 2019. Site preparation has begun in Cadarache, France, and procurement of large components has started.
