  1. @Scottwilsonecho Pardew favourite, O'Neill gathering pace in Midlands and Jol leaves Ajax. It's Ashley we're talking about here though. What's Big Ron doing?
  2. Jol's departure, officially confirmed by Ajax.
  3. @JamesMawFFT @ajaxlife @Remyw Edit: and now @CaulkinTheTimes
  4. Some reasonably credible folk on Twitter claiming Jol has resigned or wished to resign.
  5. The official Ajax news page is currently down.
  6. Unconfirmed (and probably total bullshit) on Twitter, that Jol has left Ajax.
  7. Colin Calderwood on SSN: "you look for integrity and honesty behind the scenes and if that's not there it’s a ludicirous situation."
  8. I can't think of anyone with the dignity to take the job.
  9. agreed, I feel like I should be ranting but I'm just lost for words by the stupidity of it all.
  10. This could potentially be right down there with the appointment of Souness.

    Ronaldo

    to retire at the end of the season http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/2175/la-...the-end-of-2011
  12. Even Audley Harrison managed 3 rounds......
  13. Will Lineker quit the BBC in the wake of Panorama in the same way he flounced from the Daily Mail after the Lord Triesman affair ?
  14. This kind of stuff just fascinates me and blows my mind* http://primaxstudio.com/stuff/scale_of_universe/ *even more than porn
  15. For obvious reasons I'm hoping it's England 2018 and USA 2022.
  16. Oxygen found on Saturn's moon Rhea Nasa's Cassini probe has scooped oxygen from the thin atmosphere of Rhea – the first time the gas has been detected directly on another world Share 4207 Ian Sample, science correspondent guardian.co.uk, Thursday 25 November 2010 19.00 GMT Article history Rhea and a smaller moon Epimetheus against a background of Saturn and its rings. Every cubic metre of Rhea's atmosphere contains 50bn oxygen molecules. Photograph: Nasa A spacecraft has tasted oxygen in the atmosphere of another world for the first time while flying low over Saturn's icy moon, Rhea. Nasa's Cassini probe scooped oxygen from the thin atmosphere of the planet's moon while passing overhead at an altitude of 97km in March this year. Until now, wisps of oxygen have only been detected on planets and their moons indirectly, using the Hubble space telescope and other major facilities. Instruments aboard Cassini revealed an extremely thin oxygen and carbon dioxide atmosphere that is sustained by high-energy particles slamming into the moon's surface and kicking up atoms, molecules and ions. Astronomers have counted 62 moons orbiting Saturn. At 1500km wide, Rhea is the second largest and is thought to be made almost entirely of ice. "This really is the first time that we've seen oxygen directly in the atmosphere of another world," said Andrew Coates, at UCL's Mullard Space Science Laboratory, a co-author of the study published in the journal Science. "Active, complex chemistry involving oxygen may be quite common throughout the solar system and even our universe," said team leader Ben Teolis of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas. "Such chemistry could be a prerequisite for life. All evidence from Cassini indicates that Rhea is too cold and devoid of the liquid water necessary for life as we know it." Rhea's atmosphere makes it unique in the Saturn system. Only Rhea and Titan, the largest Saturnian moon, have enough mass to hold on to an atmosphere with their gravity. Titan, however, has a very thick nitrogen and methane atmosphere, with very little carbon dioxide and oxygen. Astronomers have previously used telescopes to detect oxygen in the atmospheres of Jupiter's moons Europa and Ganymede, but similar searches drew a blank on Rhea because the concentration of the gas was so low. According to instruments aboard Cassini, every cubic metre of Rhea's atmosphere contains around 50bn oxygen molecules and 20bn carbon dioxide molecules. The carbon dioxide may come from dry ice trapped within the moon, or be produced by high-energy particles striking water ice on Rhea. Another source could be carbon-rich materials deposited by tiny meteors that have bombarded Rhea's surface.
  17. NASA Sets News Conference on Astrobiology Discovery; Science Journal Has Embargoed Details Until 2 p.m. EST On Dec. 2 WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe. The news conference will be held at the NASA Headquarters auditorium at 300 E St. SW, in Washington. It will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on the agency's website at http://www.nasa.gov. Participants are: - Mary Voytek, director, Astrobiology Program, NASA Headquarters, Washington - Felisa Wolfe-Simon, NASA astrobiology research fellow, U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, Calif. - Pamela Conrad, astrobiologist, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. - Steven Benner, distinguished fellow, Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution, Gainesville, Fla. - James Elser, professor, Arizona State University, Tempe Media representatives may attend the conference or ask questions by phone or from participating NASA locations. To obtain dial-in information, journalists must send their name, affiliation and telephone number to Steve Cole at stephen.e.cole@nasa.gov or call 202-358-0918 by noon Dec. 2.

  18. I've not had the pleasure yet but The Cowboys stadium in Dallas looks redonkulously good, I know its not football, I wanted to see Pacquiao Vs Margarito there last month but couldn't get a ticket.
  19. It's mightily impressive from the outside too, Mrs Jimbo works just around the corner from it, I wish the Dynamo played there instead of the Robertson stadium, seems daft that they don't use the old Houston Astrodome which is right next to the Reliant.
