Golden Eagle mascot | Spotlight
Golden Eagle mascot gets a makeover
Cal State L.A.'s Eddie to debut new look, cheers Sept. 23
Looking dapper in new wingtips and faux feathers, Cal State L.A.'s mascot—Eddie the Golden Eagle—will debut his new look and present new cheers as Cal State L.A.'s soccer teams host Dominguez Hills in a Sept. 23 doubleheader.
The men's soccer match will begin 4:30 p.m., followed by the women's at 7 p.m.—both at the University's Jesse Owens Track and Field.
The new Golden Eagle costume—with its traditional gold and black—will bear Cal State L.A.'s current athletics logo and represent the University's competitive spirit. Cal State L.A.'s original Golden Eagle mascot was introduced in 1981.
The new costume is created by Carol Flemming Mascot Costume Design Studio in consultation with Cal State L.A.'s Division of Intercollegiate Athletics, and has been described as being "more comfortable" and "easier to move around in."
Eddie the Golden Eagle often appears on campus to promote Cal State L.A. pride and to raise students' interest in Golden Eagle athletic games.
In 2007 and 2008, the "old" Golden Eagle appeared on national television with fellow mascots in an ad campaign to promote responsibility.

Because it's the right thing to do
By Greg B. Macabenta
The survey rankings of senatorial candidates in next week's mid-term elections can shatter the positive attitude of even the most idealistic among us. Some of the worst candidates — not just undeserving, but pure garbage — are among the list of probable winners.
Last week I wrote about how I had carefully chosen my candidates from 62 contenders for only 12 seats in the Senate. Proceeding on the premise that the Philippine Senate should be populated by honest and intelligent individuals committed to public service, I disregarded the plunderers, the butchers and executioners, the certified illiterates and those who have clearly been using political power and unexplained wealth to fund their campaigns.
In spite of the spirit-boosting cheers of those supporting many of the candidates whom I voted for, most pundits and supposedly knowledgeable observers give them very little chance of winning.
The question is: If I had known that their chances of winning were slim would I still have voted for them? The answer is: Yes.
In fact, from the outset, most of my choices had already been pronounced DOA (Defeated on Announcement, which virtually means Dead on Arrival). But I voted for them anyway — because I felt that it was the right thing to do.
A friend told me, half-jestingly but half-seriously, too, that someone as wise in the ways of politics and politicians, media and media manipulators, as well as hustlers and hoods, should have bet on the sure winners rather than the sure losers.
I could have told him about the story of David, the sure loser, and Goliath, the sure winner, but that would have sounded too high-falutin' and too mushy.
Instead, I recounted the example of my children — my youngest son, Jinky, and his slightly older brother, Jojo — who were members of a Colegio San Agustin team participating in a national tae kwan do tournament, several decades ago.
Their coach had decided to cancel their bout against a team of much larger and older boys. The coach reasoned that my children's team were sure losers. But my kids and their team mates insisted on taking on their scheduled opponents. They were, of course, overruled by the coach who feared that the boys would be mauled and badly hurt.
To this, Jinky replied in tears: "At least, lumaban!" (At least we would have fought).
As a father, I think that what the coach did was right. He was just protecting his wards. But having been raised in the streets, I would probably have felt the way my children did. I would have insisted on getting on with the bout, in spite of its being a lost cause. Because, in sports, as in life, you can't keep running away from a worthy fight because you are sure to lose.
If that were the case, the world would be ruled by bullies who would be served hand-and-foot by cowards.
It's the same reason why I chose the almost-sure-to-lose candidates in the coming elections. Because I believe they deserve to win. And voting for them is the right thing to do.
Voting for a thief and a plunderer is not the right thing to do.
Voting for a butcher and executioner, someone responsible for extra-judicial killings is not the right thing to do.
Voting for a certified illiterate, a member of the Committee on Silence in the Senate, is not the right thing to do.
Voting for someone who has leveraged political power and translated that into a massive electoral war chest is not the right thing to do.
Maybe these plunderers, killers, illiterates and power manipulators will win but I will most certainly not contribute to their victory.
It's bad enough being bullied. It's unforgivable helping the bully to bully you. That's worse than cowardice. That is stupidity.
At any rate, the bullies don't always win. And the sure losers don't always lose. Anyone who has read Budd Schulberg's novel, What Makes Sammy Run?, will recall how the principal character, a Jewish boy named Sammy Glick, persisted in taking a route from his house where he was sure to be beaten up by bullies. He indeed got mauled several times. But he kept on taking the same route — until the bullies, confused over what Sammy Glick was up to, got scared and backed off.
Perhaps this is something President Rodrigo Duterte should also think about. It's bad enough being bullied by China. It's unforgivable helping China to bully the Philippines. That's not just cowardice. That's stupidity, as well as treason.
In an article in Forbes, dated Feb. 28, 2019, Panos Mourdoukoutas, Professor and Chair of the Department of Economics at Long Island University in Brookville, NY, wrote the following:
"South China Sea: Indonesia And Vietnam Prove Duterte Wrong – Indonesia joined Vietnam recently to challenge Duterte's doctrine in the South China Sea. That's the notion that any Asian-Pacific country that dares to tame Beijing's ambitions to control the entire South China Sea will face war with China.
"This week, Indonesia drew a 'red line' in the South China Sea establishing fishing rights in areas where China claims 'overlapping' rights, according to BenarNews. Indonesia's move comes roughly two years after the country renamed its maritime region in the southwest part of the South China Sea as the 'North Natuna Sea,' asserting sovereignty in the area.
"Meanwhile, Vietnam has taken its own steps to tame Beijing's ambitions to control the South China Sea. Last month, Hanoi pushed for a pact to outlaw many of China's ongoing activities in the South China Sea. Like the building of artificial islands, blockades and offensive weaponry such as missile deployments; and the Air Defense Identification Zone — a conduct code China initiated back in 2013."
The fact that the writer singled out Duterte and compared his timidity to the boldness of Vietnam and Indonesia says something about the Philippines' growing reputation for cowardice and for not doing the right thing. Hopefully, this has touched Duterte's macho ego enough to cause him to warn China of "suicide missions" over disputed West Philippine Sea sovereignty. Standing for our rights is the right thing to do.
In Washington DC, the Democrats are debating whether or not to impeach President Donald Trump. Many believe that Trump has committed several impeachable offenses and should be held to account, even if the Republican-controlled Senate is almost certain to vote it down.
I agree. Even if the Republicans have lost their sense of right and wrong, the Democrats should impeach Trump because it's the right thing to do.
Hopefully, on May 13, enough self-respecting Filipinos, who have not lost their sense of right and wrong will do the right thing and reject the plunderers, killers, illiterates and power brokers.
It's bad enough that they could win. It's sheer stupidity to help them win. Let's reject them. It's the right thing to do.

In case you manage to create ethanol at home as well as convert that heady liquid straight into incredibly delicious alcoholic beverages then you could certainly expect to get noisy slurps as pay back for your home distilling projects. Should you be truly interested in understanding as well as mastering alcohol distillation in that case a combination of the correct distillation process together with corresponding equipment as well as ingredients will home-distiller.com soon lead to big praises coming from your loved ones.
Numerous nations which had forced home distillers to go underground to prepare their favorite moonshine during prohibition currently allow home distillation on a modest scale. A few countries have a limit on the amount of alcohol that may be produced by a home distiller while others have a limit for the alcohol proof levels that may be distilled while making moonshine at home. You will initially need to verify all relevant laws in your country so that you can legally prepare various kinds of alcohol beverages right at home. You will not just end up preserving huge amounts of money along with each exciting batch of ethanol which you distill in your own home but will also be able to include your own unique touch to every fluid creation which you ultimately prepare out of this ethanol.
In order to start your own home ethanol production, you might initially need to determine as to whether you wish to fabricate your own home distilling still or simply wish to opt for a costlier but much more competent path of buying a home distillation kit in readymade form. You can definitely construct your moonshine equipment by utilizing materials that are generally available like copper pots or even stainless steel milk cans, tubes, pipes, etc, whilst you will also need to put in copper mesh or ceramic raschig rings, an ethanol distillation column, and a collection vessel to gather the actual distilled ethanol. In addition, you'll also require various other parts including clamps and stands to complete your home made still. You might also need to engage in soldering or welding depending on the moonshine still plans that you download from the web.
On the other hand, you can begin your home distilling hobby in an instant simply by clicking on a compact kit that is made by an industry specialist so as to help you to produce ethanol in your own home in a completely safe manner. A few clicks will assist you to receive your selected kit right at your very doorstep and you can receive distilling in just a very short period of time once the fermentation procedure rewards you by means of robust fermented mash. You need to try to build or purchase a still that has several built in features including packing, filter systems, automatic cut-off during excessive temperature ranges, etc in order that the distilled ethanol that you obtain from the mash is completely safe to enjoy even while the distillation procedure itself proceeds without complications. Some trial-and-error runs can help you select the right settings to get top quality ethanol or drinking alcohol even as you employ the very best yeast which includes turbo yeast in order to strengthen the must with micro-nutrients. Recurring distillation will provide you with silky smooth and powerful alcohol that may then get flavored before being poured straight into glasses full of ice cubes and also shared with various other like-minded aficionados.
If you wish to go beyond sipping on branded alcohols and also spirits in that case there is a wonderful opportunity to distill ethanol in your house itself. You can save lots of money on each heady batch of ethanol made by home distilling even as the ones you love reward you with the help of loud slurps of gratitude while they thirstily sip upon every drop of your home made alcoholic beverages.

[NEW SERVICE] ShopBack.sg has been a decent rebate engine for a while now. Primarily a referral site, ShopBack gets a commission for a referral to merchants and it, in turn, share their profits with shoppers that clicks through the merchants (such as Qoo10 and Lazada) via them.
I have got back some dollars myself so I am impressed. I could have used it more often if not for the slight hassle of first logging into ShopBack then go back to the merchants to complete the shopping.
So I am happy to share that ShopBack.sg now comes with a browser extension button which removes the need to login to ShopBack before shopping. Neat!


i've always had a fascination with astrology & the zodiac. it's amazing to me to think your character traits are effected by where the earth, sun, moon & stars were when you were born. an idea many struggle with. the fact that astrology has survived centuries is proof enough for me. i'm filled with magical wonder considering how gigantic the cosmos are & how they effect us. it makes me hopeful that i'm actually connected to everything in this universe. and perhaps if we look a little closer at each sign, it could offer a bit of insight into ourselves.

Gas line break forces Ironbridge evacuation

Hundreds of people were evacuated from their homes and businesses Monday morning when a 12-inch natural gas pipeline ruptured at the Ironbridge Golf Course subdivision. The pipeline, located about five miles south of Glenwood Springs near County Road 109, was breached by construction equipment at about 10 a.m. The name of the company that owned the equipment was not available.There were no fires or injuries, said Doug Davis, spokesman for the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District.The sound of the gas leak "was like a jet engine," said Linda Drake, who was in her art studio on the east side of the Roaring Fork River. "The noise was just deafening."Drake said she saw a column of dust hundreds of feet in the air from the escaping gas. Gas continued to leak out of the pipe until 2 p.m. when Kinder Morgan Inc., which owns the line, shut off the gas. The gas line runs between Rifle and Avon and serves the nearby Spring Valley area and Avon in Eagle County.Service to customers was not affected by the break."Our crews have worked very diligently to ensure there were no service interruptions," said Kinder Morgan spokeswoman Natalie Shelbourn.County Roads 154 and 109 were closed Monday morning to traffic, and between 50 and 200 homes and businesses were evacuated from the Ironbridge subdivision, as well as on the east side of the river along County Road 154.An evacuation center was established at Roaring Fork High School in Carbondale. The evacuation order was lifted and County Roads 154 and 109 reopened at about 2 p.m.Drake got the word to leave her studio about 11:30 a.m. She packed up her birds and dog and headed back home to Carbondale, she said.Leonard Langston watched the situation from his home south of Highway 82 near the Colorado Mountain College turnoff. He, too, said the noise was extremely loud."It was like a jet engine. I stepped outside and saw a plume of dust in the air and I thought, I know what this is," he said. He said he saw two "scrapers [working]. It looked to me like one hit a gas line on Ironbridge [subdivision] between the lodge and the river," he said.The smell of gas was pervasive for several hours after the line was breached. Langston said friends who have a business near the Rosebud Cemetery in Glenwood Springs told him they could smell a strong odor of gas.Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District, the Garfield County Sheriff's Department and Colorado State Patrol responded to the scene of the break.Shelbourn said repairs to the gas line were expected to be completed Monday evening.

New Prostate Biopsy Procedure Eliminates Risk Of Infection
Dr. Michael Schwartz (Photo by Prostate Media)
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Prostate cancer affects one in six men in the U.S. Urologists recommend men between the ages of 50 and 75 get a prostate screening, which includes a discussion with a physician, a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and prostate exam. Other things that can increase your risk for prostate cancer include your family history and geography and ethnic background.
Urologists at Northwell Health's Smith Institute for Urology recently started offering a new biopsy procedure which samples tissue from the prostate to potentially detect cancer—and eliminates the risk of infection.
The procedure, known as a transperineal biopsy, is an important step forward for prostate health because it avoids risk of infection by inserting needles into the perineum to reach the prostate. The standard technique, transrectal biopsy, guides the needles through the rectal wall, where fecal bacteria can cause contamination.
"We are looking at the transperineal biopsy because transrectal procedure has a history of causing sepsis, with up to five percent of men getting infections, which has been cited in scientific urologic literature nationally for decades," said Michael Schwartz, MD, director of laparoscopic and robotic surgery at the Smith Institute for Urology. "Patients with these infections need to be hospitalized and require intravenous antibiotics. The transperineal biopsy is a huge advantage and offers patients a safe alternative with a virtually zero risk of infection."
Schwartz said the transperineal biopsy, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes, is performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. Using the standard rectal ultrasound, the new technology allows physicians to pass a needle through the perineum and perform multiple biopsies through one entry and easier access to certain areas of the prostate.
"Taking away the infection risk in the biopsy procedure is a game changer," said Louis Kavoussi, MD, chair of urology at Northwell Health. "Approximately 30 to 40 percent of patients we treat with low-grade prostate cancer are under surveillance. This means men must have biopsies every couple of years. Patients are always concerned about how they can reduce their risk for infections and this new method removes barriers to care."
The Smith Institute of Urology is among a handful of institutions in the nation offering the transperineal prostate biopsy along with urologists in other countries. Schwartz said the urology institute anticipates performing 500-600 transperineal biopsies each year. He said the new, safer procedure is "a wave that has come to urology" and will likely be commonplace in five years.
For more information, call the Smith Institute for Urology at 516-734-8500.

Aviva Ventures invests in Founders Factory to scale FinTech startups
Aviva Ventures, the venture capital arm of multinational insurance firm Aviva, has made an undisclosed "multimillion pound" equity investment in Founders Factory to develop FinTech startups.
The news comes after the tech accelerator and incubator announced a partnership with L'Oreal to invest in beauty tech startups just last week.
Andrew Brem, chief digital officer of Aviva, said: "Insurance and financial services has been stuck in a bygone, analogue era when it comes to engaging with customers – we believe it's high time to bring the industry into the digital age, for the benefit of customers and insurers alike.
"Partnering with Founders Factory gives us an opportunity to work with a highly talented pool of entrepreneurs who can help us identify new opportunities and deliver them. Only by being brave and disruptive can we truly accelerate our digital strategy and ensure we are giving customers what they rightly expect," he concluded.
As part of the partnership, Aviva and Founders Factory will work together to develop seven FinTech startups every year. Five of these will be early-stage startups and will go through Founders Factory's accelerator programme.
The other two are expected to be brand new concepts and will go through Founders Factory's incubator.
Brent Hoberman, co-founder and executive chairman of Founders Factory, commented: "At Founders Factory we are delighted to partner with Aviva, a global leader in insurance. We are looking forward to working closely with their teams, and accelerating and incubating world class FinTech businesses.
"Entrepreneurs will be very keen to work with such a market leading company and champion of digital innovation. The combination of Aviva with the other corporate investors across multiple sectors in Founders Factory will create more global winners," added Hoberman.

$$[x^n] \frac{1}{1-\sin(\pi x)}$$
up to a multiplicative error of $1+ O(n^{-1})$. In other words, find a function $f(n)$ so that
$$[x^n]\frac{1}{1-\sin(\pi x)} = f(n)(1 + O(n^{-1}).$$
From my lecture notes I have the following transfer theorem:
Let $\alpha \in \mathbb{C} \setminus \mathbb{Z_{\leq 0}}$ and assume $f(z)$ is $\Delta$-analytic at 1. Then, if $f(z) = (1-z)^{-\alpha} + o((1-z)^{-\alpha})$
$$ [z^n] f(z) = \frac{n^{\alpha -1}}{\Gamma(\alpha)} ( 1+ O(\frac{1}{n})) + o (n^{\alpha - 1})$$
Now to get $\frac{1}{1- \sin(\pi x)}$ in a form to apply the above theorem, I tried to use Taylor expansion around $x= \frac{1}{2}$ but I do not get the wanted terms.
Can I apply the above theorem for this problem or do I have to solve this problem differently?

Q: $(this) and this, what difference? Could someone please explain a bit, what difference between them?
For example I could do that with "that":
var bar;
button.click(function () {
    if (bar == this) {
        alert('same');
    }
    bar = this;
});

and couldn't with $(that):
var bar;
button.click(function(){
  if(bar == $(this)) {alert('same');}
  bar = $(this);
});

A: this is the plain Javascript object.
$(this) is a jQuery wrapped element. You are allowed to call jQuery methods with it.

A: Your second example doesnt work, because every time you use the $(this) function, it returns an unique jQuery Object:
var a = document.createElement('a');
var b = $(a);
var c = $(a);

Now, b and c are both unique jQuery instances.
console.log(c == b) // prints false

When using jQuery click events, this is the event.currentTarget in the callback, which is the HTML element that bound the click:
button.click(function(e) {
    console.log (e.currentTarget == this) // prints true
})

$(this) or jQuery(this) is a function that returns the HTML element wrapped in a unique jQuery Object, and contains all jQuery prototypes.

A: $(this) creates a jQuery object containing this.  this is the HTMLElement representing the button which was clicked.

A: Here's quite a good page that explains it in detail with examples.
(Note: It was also the first google result for "jquery this")

When You're Diagnosed With Mesothelioma in California
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), California ranks 1st in the nation for asbestosis and mesothelioma deaths, and Yuba and Siskiyou counties were ranked in the top 50 U.S. counties with the highest mesothelioma death rates. Additionally, asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that causes mesothelioma, has been found in 45 out of 58 counties in California. Between 1999 and 2015, over 4,100 Californians died of mesothelioma.
What Is Asbestos and Its Link to Mesothelioma?
Asbestos isn't a single mineral; rather, it's a group of minerals that shares the same fibrous characteristics. It was once considered a "magic mineral" because of its heat and fire-resistant properties and durability. For decades, it was used in the U.S. for fireproofing and insulation, especially in shipbuilding. During this time, over 2,500 ships contained large quantities of asbestos, and later, it was used in over 3,000 products, including brakes, cement, roofing, plastic, cloth, and paper. Thus, asbestos helped make many businesses very profitable.
However, asbestos is an extremely toxic substance. There were reports from German doctors in the late 1930s of asbestos-related cancer, and by the 1960s, mesothelioma was linked to asbestos exposure. Even non-occupational exposure to this mineral—often referred to as secondary exposure—was found to cause cancer. Men who worked in asbestos mines brought asbestos fibers home on their clothing and exposed their spouses and children.
Asbestos fibers are microscopic, and you can't smell, taste, or see them. And once they're in the body, they never dissolve. Over a period of many years, these trapped fibers can cause inflammation, scarring, and ultimately genetic damage to the cells in the body. Because exposure to this mineral doesn't create immediate symptoms, fibers can be inhaled or swallowed and mesothelioma not diagnosed for years or decades after.
Asbestos Exposure in California
Natural asbestos can be widely found throughout California, and it is estimated that there is at least 240 asbestos deposits in the state. With such easy access to this mineral, California had many operating asbestos mines, including:
John D. Hoff mine in Alameda
Jefferson Lake mine in Calaveras
Coalinga mine in Fresno
Tabor Mining Company in Napa
John Quirk mine in Butte
El Dorado Copper Co. property in El Dorado
Asbestos was also used in a variety of California industries and jobsites because it is a substance that's strong, can withstand most chemical breakdowns, is resistant to heat, and is a good insulator. Here are some of the industries and jobsites where asbestos was used:
Shipyard and Shipbuilding
Bethlehem Steel Shipyard in San Francisco
National Steel & Shipbuilding Co. in San Diego
Long Beach Naval Shipyard
San Diego Naval Base
Moore Dry Dock in Oakland
Todd Shipyard in Alameda
Standard Oil Company in El Segundo
Tosco Refining in Washington
Monterey Oil Company in Huntington Beach
Continental Oil Company in Los Angeles
Union Oil Refinery in San Pedro
Shell Oil Refinery in Pasadena
Kellogg Company in Palo Alto
Pacific Clay Products in Pomona
Campbell Soup Company in Modesto
Hunts food and Industries in Fullerton
Menasco Manufacturing in Burbank
American Toy Company in Oakland
Pacific Light & Power Company in Los Angeles
San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in Pendleton
Blackrock Power Plan in Fresno
Napa Valley Electric Company in Napa
California Electric Power Company in San Bernardino
Pacific Gas & Electric Company in San Jose
California Treatment and Support Centers
Managing a diagnosis of mesothelioma means working with a doctor who specializes in this type of cancer. There are many doctors and treatment centers in California. Here is a brief list of some of California's leading cancer centers:
8700 Beverly Boulevard
University of California Los Angeles Medical Center
Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Care Center
200 UCLA Medical Plaza, Suite 120
UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion
1600 Divisadero Street
10010 North Torrey Pines Road
Stanford Cancer Institute
USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center
1441 Eastlake Ave.
Additionally, there are many other cancer clinics in the U.S. that provide treatment for mesothelioma and may offer clinical trials. These include:
Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York, NY
Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, MD
University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston Texas
H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute, Tampa FL
The University of Chicago Medicine, Chicago, IL
Additionally, you may also find emotional help through the following support groups for cancer patients:
Mesothelioma Foundation
Cancer Support Community
Mesothelioma Guide Facebook page
California Asbestos Laws
Although asbestos isn't banned in the United States, it's strictly regulated. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reduced airborne asbestos fibers through its National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) guidelines. This agency is overseen by California's Air Resources Board (ARB) of the California EPA.
Additionally, laws have been created to help protect employees from asbestos exposure and its health risks. There are requirements for wearing protective clothing when working around asbestos, and California also adopted "cancer presumption laws" that allow employees access to workers' compensation for mesothelioma.
Two other laws, called Airborne Toxic Control Measures (ATCMs), have been implemented because asbestos is so abundant in California. Here is a brief look at those measures:
The ATCM for Surfacing Applications regulates the use, supply, and sale of "aggregate material." This includes gravel, sand, and crushed stone. It's illegal to use aggregate materials that contain asbestos if it means that material will be exposed or disturbed—such as gravel on an unpaved road.
The ATCM for Construction, Grading, Quarrying, and Surface Mining Operations mitigates activities that generate dust that might contain asbestos.
California Lawsuits for Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma
If you live in California and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be able to receive compensation by filing an asbestos lawsuit or an asbestos trust fund claim. Many companies in the 1980s faced asbestos lawsuits and filed for bankruptcy, setting up trust funds to pay victims of asbestos exposure. Most of these lawsuits have been filed in Alameda, San Francisco, and Los Angeles counties.
If you suffer from mesothelioma and the company that exposed you to asbestos has established one of these trust funds, you can file a claim no matter how many years have passed since working there. It's not necessary to go through court proceedings to file a claim against a fund. You can also file a lawsuit against that company.
Those who suffer from mesothelioma and surviving loved ones have a year after a patient's diagnosis or date of that person's death to file an asbestos-related lawsuit in California. This time limit also applies, even if you don't know exactly which company is responsible.

The European F3 Championship had been cancelled and so Jordan ran a car in France for Dominique. in 1986 in the First Round of the F3000 Championship had to be stopped due to a serious accident to Dominique Delestre and Thierry Tassin on start-finish straight in rain. Recovering from his 1986 accident, Dominique Delestre made a comeback with Bob Sparshott who also ran a T86/50 testing chassis for Michel Ferté who had to wait for his new car. In 1987 he drove the WM P87 Peugeot at le Mans with Philippe Gache and Roger Dorchy, they retired with engine problems. In 1999 Prost Grand Prix choose to commit themselves even more to F3000 by acquiring APOMATOX. Is was renamed Prostar "F3000 Prost Junior Team" with Dominique as the team manager. Delestre's team was not regarded as a frontrunner until Franck Lagorce joined from DAMS in 1994, in a straight swap with former Apomatox driver Jean-Christophe Boullion. Two victories left Lagorce sharing the points lead with PSRs Gil de Ferran when they came to the final round at Magny Cours, but both were beaten at the last hurdle by Boullion, whose inspired run of three consecutive victories made up for the messy start to his year.
