If they tested positive for PED I hope they would be suspended. For how long depends on how severe the offense was, whether it was done intentionally, and so on. But it probably doesn't even matter what the attitude of the WTA would be since testing in tennis leaves much to be desired, so the chance that anyone will ever get caught isn't that big. If someone gets caught doing heroine, smoking marihuana or sniffing coke I would want them to do nothing since they are not PED and it's none of their business as far as I'm concerned. If it's against the law, let the regular courts deal with it, just like they do with parking tickets or having a fight in a bar. We need the powers that be of tennis (or any other sport) to see to it that we have a level playing field and that no competitor gets an unfair advantage over the others. We don't need them to give us lessons in morality or to make sure that every player eats an apple everyday. That's always been my position, and I stick to it.

Dreading the 2011 NBA Lockout
Exclusive to the Lunch Network
It's odd to think of the always-ubiquitous New York team as the underdogs. After all, being a team representing the largest city in the United States and the financial capital of the world doesn't bring a whole lot of sympathy. Teams there are designated as The New York Teams, and they're expected to reel in megatons of worldwide fans through hype and league favoritism at worst, and at best, they're the Yankees: A team which is old and overflowing with some of the sport's greatest stories and history, and with so much success that outsider fans who adopt the Yankees are questioned about why they chose them.
Forget the newly-minted Brooklyn Nets, the big-time team from the Big Apple for the NBA is the New York Knickerbockers, better known to the casual fan as the Knicks. You would think these guys, being one of the crown jewels of the NBA, would have a half-dozen titles to their long and storied history, but nope! They only have two, and both of them were won during a single era: The 70's dynasty, when the team won three conference titles in four years to go with the actual NBA Championship in 1970 and 1973, with that second one being the Knicks' most recent league victory. The Knicks did have a couple of other eras of greatness: in the early years of the National Basketball Association, they reeled in three conference titles in a row from 1951 to 1953, and after those smart-passing 70's teams stopped winning the conference championship, they won two more during their bridesmaid years in the 90's: 1994 and 1999.
With me, though, championships are only part of the attraction to teams. I am, just as much, enthralled by a deep history replete with the stories that live on in fame or infamy. And, once again, I must remind you that the Knickerbockers are The New York Team, in case you've forgotten. In basketball's case, they're The ORIGINAL New York team, which means what they lack in championships, they make up for in a history and a series of stories that go back, Back, BACK! All the way back to 1946, which is the year the Basketball Association of America was founded. Basketball was a growing sport back then in New York City, and a few owners of hockey arenas began wondering what would happen if their buildings - Madison Square Garden and Boston Garden among them - were to stage basketball games when the hockey players had the day off. In 1946, some businessmen gathered in New York City and founded the Basketball Association of America - the BAA - to find out. Immediately at the founding, those same folks gave a college basketball promoter named Ned Irish a team, since he was running Madison Square Garden and teams always have to be in the Big Apple. Ned named his new team the Knickerbockers, which was once just a fancy way of saying someone was a New Yorker. The Knicks first played on November 1, 1946 in the BAA's first game. They beat the Toronto Huskies 68-66.
The Knicks were forced to play a lot of their earliest games in the 69th Street Armory because of MSG's crowded schedule. Their first season ended with a 33-27 record and a playoff birth, in which the Knicks dispatched the Cleveland Rebels before getting swept by the Philadelphia Warriors in the semi-finals. The following season, the Knicks became the first team to sign a non-white player when they added Japanese-American Wataru Misaka. In 1950, the BAA merged with the older, more small-town-oriented National Basketball League, and together they became known as the National Basketball Association, or the NBA. In the following years, the Knicks signed the league's first black player, Sweetwater Clifton, and took off an a run of conference titles. They were denied championships in all three years, though, by the Rochester Royals in 1951 and the following two years by the Minneapolis Lakers. They did dominate throughout the decade, though.
Things went south from the late 50's to the early 60's, and the team only made the playoffs once during that span. They had their heroes during that span, especially Richie Guerin, who was the first Knickerbocker to break the half-century point mark in 1959 when he dumped 57 on the Syracuse Nationals in a single game. In 1962, the Knicks were etched into the league's lore again for one of the most incredible moments in league history: On March 2, 1962, the Knicks played against the Philadelphia Warriors in Hershey, Pennsylvania, in front of only 4124 spectators without any cameras, since the NBA was on the pro sports fringe and nobody really gave a shit back then. Only two photographers were there. While the Warriors began the game with only the idea to win, their big man, a dominating center named Wilt Chamberlain, wanted to break the record for free throws during the game. But once Wilt had put 41 on the board by halftime, a Warriors player suggested just getting the ball to him to see how many points The Big Dipper could get. Philadelphia's team concept broke down, and the last ten minutes of the game turned into a farce when all the Warriors players kept handing off to him. With six minutes left, the Knicks tried desperately to keep the ball away from Chamberlain, and in the last few minutes, the game turned into a parade of fouls as both teams used intentional fouls against each other. Although the fact that the Knicks were a bad team at the time and the ridiculous go-to-Wilt technique the Warriors used that day kind of mar the moment, nothing can be said that change the fact that Wilt Chamberlain posted a whopping 100 points in that game.
After a decade in the doldrums, the Knicks brought in Red Holzman to coach in 1967, and he took the team to its absolute peak. They drafted Willis Reed, whose impact was immediate, in 1964. He was Rookie of the Year. In 1967, rookies Walt Frazier and Phil Jackson (yeah, THAT Phil Jackson) were named to the league's All-Rookie Team. Smart drafting and shrewd trading earned the 70's Knicks recognition as one of the smartest teams in the NBA while Holzman, Reed, Frazier, and Dave DeBusschere guided the team to four 50-win seasons, three conference titles, and Championships in 1970 and 1973. From 1967 to 1975, the New York Knicks were a force, and every other team knew the way to the title took them through New York. With six players who eventually had their numbers retired, seven Hall of Fame members, an 18-game winning streak in 1970, Willis Reed playing injured, and classic playoff series against the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, fans still regard that nine-year stretch as the team's finest hour.
After that, Reed retired, and then Holzman was let go when the team made a desperate ploy to keep Reed by making him coach. When they saw what a mistake that was, they rehired Holzman, but the damage was done. The Knicks had a few good years - they won 50 games in 1981 and followed that up with 44 and 47-win years, but were back on the bottom end for the 1985 season, which got them a place in the league first-ever draft lottery. The Knicks have the dubious honor of being the first-ever draft lotto jackpot winner, and in 1985 the million-dollar prize was a Georgetown product named Patrick Ewing. From 1988 to 2000, the Knicks made the playoffs every year with Ewing at center, and to a point, he's considered the best individual player to suit up as a Knickerbocker. He was drafted with the expectation that he would be the next step in the evolution of the defensive center, an idea pioneered by Celtics legend Bill Russell. Unfortunately, while many of his individual achievements are something to behold, Ewing was never able to transcend his role the way Russell did, and he only made the Finals twice, in 1994 and 1999, losing both times. In his defense, that's not entirely his fault. He had the misfortune of peaking in the prime of Michael Jordan's era, and the Jordan Bulls spent the decade tormenting the Knicks and keeping them out of the Finals completely. (This will become a recurring theme.)
In spite of that, the Knicks did rule in the 90's as one of the league's elite teams. The legendary Pat Riley was hired to coach while Ewing was given a strong-enough supporting cast with players like Charles Oakley, Derek Harper, and John Starks. They fielded some tough-as-nails defenses, and although they kept getting their asses handed to them by Chicago, they always came at the Bulls with everything. The rivalry between the Knicks and Bulls is still one of the most pronounced rivalries in the league. It hit its zenith in the 90's, and while it produced a share of memorable games and moments, if I'm being honest about it, the Bulls were definitely better. The only year in the midst of the chaos when the Knicks were able to get the better of the Bulls was 1994, when Michael Jordan was trying his hand in the Chicago White Sox farm system. And the Bulls still dragged the series out the whole way. In 1999, Jordan was past his prime and out of the league again, so both those conference titles came without Jordan standing in the way.
Both teams experiences a real dropoff in the millennium. Jordan retired and ran the Washington Wizards into the ground. Ewing, around for 15 years, was traded after the Knicks decided he had outlived his usefulness and given them all he could. As for where the Knicks went... God, do I really have to write about this? Shit. Good lord, what became of the Knicks for much of the time makes the head spin! I recently created a list of sports teams that have become so monumentally embarrassing for their fans that I could grant fans a free pass for defecting. (
) The Knicks ran on fumes for the first few years, but rebuilding was clearly needed. In 2003, they decided Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas was the guy for the job. Unfortunately, Thomas failed to understand the salary cap, drafted poorly, forgot the team-first secret which made him such an outstanding player in Detroit, got sued for sexual harassment, and oversaw a load of really bad personnel decisions. Larry Brown, one of the greatest coaches of all time and a guy who managed to beat a Phil Jackson team in the Finals with a real dearth of talent, coached and totally blew it. Thomas himself was given the coaching position, and let's just say he was as good a coach as he was a team President, plus he oversaw a brawl in 2006 against the Denver Nuggets.
The Knicks are currently in the post-Isiah rebuilding phase, and despite looking a lot better, they're frustrating to follow because between Amar'e Stoudemire, Carmello Anthony, and Tyson Chandler, they have real talent. Over the last year, a player named Jeremy Lin emerged and gave the team a lift, producing consistently solid performances as a guard. The Knicks have the pieces, but can't make them fit.
The Knicks are known as one of the league's most popular and influential teams. As their arena, Madison Square Garden, is a brand name, so are the Knicks. As for the team itself, they've retired eight numbers and have ten players in the Hall of Fame. Most of these names, though, aren't among the most transcendent names of the league. Patrick Ewing is definitely transcendent, but despite holding most of the team records, he's also widely seen as overrated, and as a guy who reached the heights of basketball fame mostly because he was with The New York Team at a time when players like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, and Michael Jordan were becoming their own brands. Willis Reed and Walt Frazier are probably the two most notable names on the New York all-time roster besides him. The Knicks have also had five Hall of Fame coaches, though only one - Red Holzman - won titles with them. The others are Larry Brown, Lenny Wilkens, Hubie Brown, and the great Pat Riley (who guided them to their 1994 conference title).
You know what the best part of cheering for The New York Team is? The rivalries! Everyone wants to kill The New York Team. The big one is with the Bulls, and I already covered that one in some detail. Although its mostly been dormant for most of the last ten years, it's undergoing a new resurgence as both teams are reshuffling and restocking and turning into contenders again, New York with Stoudemire, Chandler, and Carmello and Chicago with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah leading the way. As a person who spent significant portions of his human development in both New York and Illinois and therefore roots for both teams, I'm excited to see what direction this old rivalry goes in. The Knicks also famously feuded with the Miami Heat, who they've met in the playoffs five times since 1997, the series going the distance every time except the last. The Knicks are 3-2 in those series, but Miami won the last meeting 4-1. They also shared a huge war against the Indiana Pacers back in the 90's because their star, Reggie Miller, kept beating them up and the Knicks never figured out how to answer him. And now, with the recent emergence of the New Jersey Nets, the Knicks have to deal with them, too. The fanbases never got along, with Jersey being resentful of the overshadowing that comes with playing across the Hudson River. And now with the Nets in Brooklyn, there's gonna be some old-style dustings-up, because this is the first time since the New York Giants warred with the Brooklyn Dodgers that a team called New York will be regularly playing against a team called Brooklyn.
One of the things I really appreciate about the Knicks is that despite the flash and dash image of being The New York Team, they play very hard, defensive, physical basketball. They also based a lot of their historical game on passing and fundamentals - Red Holzman's teams won because of this! Knicks teams tend to play down-low, hard, gritty games and win through hard-ass defense.
I have to dock points for media overexposure. It's true that Knicks fans, having not seen a title since 1973, are long-suffering. But the Knicks have had a lot of chances and near-misses. A lot of other teams in NBA history have had a moment of glory, taken a title, then withered and died. If they've been lucky, they've won one or two conference titles, but for the most part, teams like the Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers, and Seattle Supersonics aren't primed and ready to explode like the Knicks always have the potential to do. I feel for the underexposed like that, being from Buffalo and doomed to wonder if the Sabres, despite all the hockey talent swarming in the area, will ever hoist Lord Stanley's Cup in my lifetime. The Knicks are considered long-suffering because they have the most fans moaning and groaning about it.
Only two titles, but in spite of everything, it's good to be a New York Knicks fan. They have a long and deep history replete with some of the league's greatest stories, and no matter how bad they can be (and we do credit owner James Dolan for destroying them right now), we know there are forever people attracted to the lights and cameras of the Big Apple. On that alone, the Knicks will recover and ascend to true true greatness in the league again. It's New York City. It's the city's true team. The New York Knickerbockers won't stay down for long.

I've enjoyed your football write ups and now I see you can also do some good ones on the NBA teams. Very nice work!
June 03, 2012
Thanks! That means a lot - the NBA is the league I got into most recently, and I still have a lot to learn about the history of the league and how the positions are played, so it's good to know I can still create a good basketball write-up.

Hi. first time poster here.
Ive been looking for a summer tan blazer for the longest time. and i havent found one that i like all that much.
I found one where I like the color, brand, and overall look. And its only 25 bucks. the fact that its a 3/2 roll also makes it pretty unique for a linen khaki blazer
however, the issues i have with it are
1. is it a sportscoat or a suit jacket? i have a hard time telling with thrift buys
2. it has padded shoulders which probably wouldnt look great in a summer blazer look. but the rest of the sports coat looks great to me.
what are your thoughts?

are you serious?Submitted by Guest (not verified) on Thu, 01/20/2011 - 2:33am.
I seriously cant believe that you somehow think you are qualified to say that someone should be sterilized. Everyone in this country makes such a big deal about teen pregnancy and wants to shun the youth in America for their unwise decisions. Don't you think that there are other things that could have changed to prevent these girls from teen pregnancy? »

I need a dependable program with filtering capability and one that makes it easy to save copies of email for future reference.
I feel Eudora is more powerfull and rate it higher then outlook express!.
Other email programs on the market I am not sure about, but If I was you give Eudora a month try use all the options open to you including the filtering which is better the Outlook.
Thanks for the input.
I discovered "The Bat!" shortly after I posted the thread and downloaded the older version (not able to sucessfully download the new one) and I LOVE IT!
The filtering capabilities are just what I need and there's so much flexibility.
Thanks for everyone's input,
Another great alternative is ExpressPlus. Again, no scheduling capabilities, but there are plenty of great freeware PIMs. It will set you back $35

Adrift on a sea of platitudes: Why we will not resolve the greenhouse issue

Get AccessAbstract
The issue of greenhouse warming has received a great deal of attention in recent years. It has become the object of much scientific scrutiny, media coverage, and political rhetoric. What is our current state of knowledge regarding this phenomenon? What are the possible options for preventing or slowing its advance, or for living with its consequences? What obstructs our taking actions to deal with this issue? These are the questions addressed here. Beginning with a brief overview of our current knowledge, I then examine potential policy options, and finally assess the likelihood of constructive actions. The conclusion reached is that we will probably not deal with this issue, not because we lack a sufficient understanding of the phenomenon, its consequences and workable solutions, but because we lack the philosophical, ethical, and political will to do so. As a result we are likely to continue to drift across a sea of platitudes.

The market's August lull nears an end; stocks fall
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK - The late-summer lull is about to end.
Stocks fell Thursday, with investors too worried about high gas prices and stagnant employment to be impressed by higher consumer spending.
But trading volume was light, the market's direction was steady, and there wasn't much in the way of major economic news.
That could all change Friday. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is scheduled to speak at 10 a.m. EDT, and investors will be listening closely for his opinion on the economy and whether the Fed will take more action to try to prop it up.
Scott Freeze, president of Street One Financial in Huntingdon Valley, Pa., had the feeling that he was experiencing the calm before the storm. He went golfing Thursday morning with clients, figuring there wouldn't be many more chances to leave the office.
Many of his employees and clients planned to come to work Friday morning, stick around to see what Bernanke says, and then leave early for the long weekend if it's nothing of consequence.
``There's so little going on, it's all wait and see before Bernanke's speech,'' Freeze said. ``I'm sure next week will be a much different scenario.''
Some thought Bernanke's speech, for all the hype, would end up being a non-event. The statements from Fed officials are sometimes too ambiguous to really guide the market. And there's a lot of doubt that the Fed can do anything for the economy anyway.
``Some people hang on every word, they try to figure out what kind of briefcase he's carrying,'' said John Lekas, senior portfolio manager at Leader Capital in Portland, Ore. ``I think that's a waste of time. It doesn't matter that much.''
For much of August, with many traders on vacation and a dearth of major economic news, the market has lumbered more than galloped. On Thursday, about 2.4 billion shares were traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The average for the year so far is about 3.7 billion.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 106.77 points to 13,000.71. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 11.01 to 1,399.48. The Nasdaq composite slid 32.48 to 3,048.71.
The economic news that did surface Thursday was uninspiring to investors.
The government reported that consumer spending rose in July from June, after a flat June and a decline in May. Separately, retailers like Target Corp., Gap Inc. and Macy's Inc. reported higher-than-expected August sales.
But rather than send stocks up, investors instead worried that the gains were only temporary, driven by back-to-school shopping that will soon peter out.
Gas prices and job prospects, which are key when people decide how much to spend, were not encouraging. Hurricane Isaac helped push the national average price for a gallon of gas to $3.83 from $3.80 Wednesday, according to the AAA. The government reported that the four-week moving average for unemployment claims also ticked higher.
Freeze, from Street One, doubts the jobs picture will improve soon, with so many companies not hiring. He thinks it's disingenuous when they blame their hiring drought on the uncertainty of not knowing who will be president next year.
``They're saying, `I don't know what my tax situation will be,' or `I don't know if Obama will be president and I don't want to deal with Obama's health care plan,''' he said. ``I think these are just easy excuses for the corporations to use, because quite frankly the production levels and the revenue they're generating don't warrant hiring new employees.''
Among the stocks that did make notable moves:
Pandora Media Inc. jumped more than 14 percent, rising $1.44 to $11.52. The Internet radio company reported big increases in revenue from advertising, subscriptions, and from listeners accessing the website from mobile devices.
TiVo Inc., known for its digital video recorders, fell more than 3 percent, losing 32 cents to $9.04, after reporting a larger quarterly loss and missing analysts' revenue predictions.
Vera Bradley, the maker of high-end handbags, lost almost 9 percent, slipping $2.09 to $21.53. Weak sales in May and June forced the company to cut its earnings and revenue predictions for the year.

5 Favorite Stocks From the Pros
Ford Motor
Even though 2013 is taking on a slow start for shares of Ford Motor (F - Get Report), investors shouldn't discount this stock. Ford has undergone a big transformation in the past few years. The automaker was the only one of its Detroit peers to avoid bankruptcy, and it was the first to return to profitability and resume its dividend following the rebound in auto sales.
>>4 Stocks Ready for Big Dividend Hikes in 2013
There's been a simple secret to Ford's success: It started making cars that consumers wanted to drive again. Since its revamp, the firm has managed to score considerable accolades from auto reviewers over initial quality and reliability, and that has resonated with potential buyers. Even though Europe remains a big black cloud for the firm, management is going forward with a plan to shore up its business across the pond as well. A decade ago, U.S. carmakers were weighed down with cumbersome brands that lacked any real diversity in their lineups - it was one of the many things that made U.S. automakers look less appealing than their foreign rivals. That's why Ford's revamp of the Lincoln marque as a standalone luxury brand is so exciting. If Lincoln can shake its reputation as an "old person's car" or high-end airport shuttle, there's considerable room for the band to compete in the lucrative luxury market. Institutions piled into Ford positions last quarter, picking up 152 million shares of the firm. That ratchets their total positions in Ford to $26.7 billion right now.

The objective of the present paper is to obtain the sharp upper bound of for p-valent α-convex functions of the form in the unit disc .
1. Introduction
Let be the class of analytic functions of the form in the unit disc with . Let be the subclass of , consisting of univalent functions.
is the class consisting of functions of the form (1) and satisfying the condition
The functions of the class are called p-valent starlike functions. In particular, , the class of starlike functions.
is the class of functions of the form (1), satisfying the condition
The functions of the class are known as p-valent convex functions. Particularly, , the class of convex functions.
Obviously if and only if .
Let be the class of functions of the form (1), satisfying the condition
Functions in the class are known as -valent alpha-convex functions. For , the class reduces to the class of alpha-convex functions introduced by Mocanu [1]. Also and .
In 1976, Noonan and Thomas [2] stated the th Hankel determinant for and as
This determinant has also been considered by several authors. For example, Noor [3] determined the rate of growth of as for functions given by (1) with bounded boundary. Ehrenborg [4] studied the Hankel determinant of exponential polynomials. Also Hankel determinant was studied by various authors including Hayman [5] and Pommerenke [6]. In [7], Janteng et al. studied the Hankel determinant for the classes of starlike and convex functions. Again Janteng et al. discussed the Hankel determinant problem for the classes of starlike functions with respect to symmetric points and convex functions with respect to symmetric points in [8] and for the functions whose derivative has a positive real part in [9]. Also Hankel determinant for various subclasses of -valent functions was investigated by various authors including Krishna and Ramreddy [10] and Hayami and Owa [11].
Easily, one can observe that the Fekete and Szegö functional is . Fekete and Szegö [12] then further generalised the estimate , where is real and . For our discussion in this paper, we consider the Hankel determinant in the case of and :
In this paper, we seek sharp upper bound of the functional for functions belonging to the class . The results due to Janteng et al. [7] follow as special cases.
2. Preliminary Results
Let be the family of all functions analytic in for which and for .
Lemma 1 (see [6]). If , then
Lemma 2 (see [13, 14]). If , then for some and satisfying and .
3. Main Result
Theorem 3. If , then where
Proof . Since , so from (4)
On expanding and equating the coefficients of , and in (11), we get
Equation (12) yields:

Using Lemmas 1 and 2 in (13), we obtain
Assume that and ; using triangular inequality and , we have
It is easy to verify that is an increasing function and so .
where is defined in (10).
is negative at .
Hence from (15), we obtain (9).
The result is sharp for , , and .
For , Theorem 3 gives the following result.
Corollary 4. If , then
For , Theorem 3 yields.
Corollary 5. If , then
Putting and in Theorem 3, we obtain the following result due to Janteng et al. [7].

Continuing my journey through Liquid Art's Vetiver Collection 1. First was Vetiver from Annick Goutal; a simple and weak vetiver, nothing special. My SOTD is Pure Vetiver from Azzaro. Sadly, this too is nothing special and also very light. I applied a full 1/2 of my full sample vial and it is scarcely noticeable four hours later. This vetiver has a slightly fruity, though chemical accord. Both this and the Goutal version absolutely pale in comparison to my still favorite, Guerlain Vetiver.

When the tyres for Lewis Hamiltons McLaren werent ready as he arrived for his second pit stop during Sundays European Grand Prix, it looked as if the error had cost the reigning world champion a win in Valencia. Team principal Martin Whitmarsh, however, believes that eventual victor Ruben Barrichello was too dominant and that, mistake or not, Hamiltons best hope was second.
Following our all-front-row qualifying result, naturally enough we had very high expectations for todays race, explained Whitmarsh. In the event, though, our race pace wasnt good enough to beat Rubenss car. Wed adopted a different tyre strategy from many of the front-runners - maybe that was right, maybe that was wrong - but the reality is that we werent quick enough to win today.
Although he was due to pit on Lap 37 of the race, the team went on the radio to tell Hamilton to stay out an extra lap to try to gain a slight advantage over the chasing Barrichello. But the call was transmitted just a fraction too late and the British driver had already turned down the pit lane. Arriving at his pit box, he thus caught his mechanics on the hop.
Coming in to the final pitstops, in our efforts to convert a safe second for Lewis into a possible first for him, we took a calculated risk in attempting to reverse the sequence of Lewiss and Heikkis pit stops at the last second. That last-second decision caused a bit of pit-lane confusion, which probably cost Lewis a couple of seconds overall - but Rubenss race pace was such that that couple of seconds didnt make a difference to the outcome of the race. In a nutshell, we decided to take the risk because we knew Rubens had the strategy to win and it was our only chance of attempting to prevent that.
Although he couldnt match his win at the Hungaroring last month, Hamilton was still pleased with his second-place finish and delighted to be back on the podium again.
This is my second podium in a row, and Im very happy to be here, he said. We did the best job we could today. Am I disappointed? Yes, I think we all are - but thats simply an indication of just how hard everyone in this team is pushing to win. Were never satisfied unless were winning, in fact. But, ultimately, we didnt really lose anything today - it was always going to be tough to beat Rubens and what we tried wasnt quite enough.
Following his two successive podium finishes, Hamilton is now up to sixth in the drivers championship and will be looking to increase his tally at next weekends Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.

Quirky News
Somerset flood victim's car for sale on eBay
A submerged car that became one of the iconic images of flooding on the Somerset Levels has been put up for sale on eBay.
Hubert Zajaczkowski's silver Seat Toledo was seen bobbing along a road near Muchelney after he abandoned it on Christmas Eve because of the rising water.
The five-door saloon was swamped by water and was filmed and photographed by the world's media as they descended on the village.
It was even commented on by the Prince of Wales and Prime Minister David Cameron.
Mr Zajaczkowski admits the car, which has clocked up 110,000 non-nautical miles, is "not in working condition".
It is missing most of its windows and its dirty paintwork and interior would be a match for any valet - although it does come with a CD player.
Proceeds from the auction, which has already attracted nearly 50 bids, will go to an organisation set up to help victims of flooding.
