Matthew Fox, Madonna, Sly Stallone: Is There Such a Thing as Being Too Ripped?

I've seen more than a few stars walking around with very cut arms these days. Even Sly Stallone is still extremely, weirdly ripped. Is this a trend? ?Michael E., via...

Abraham's Cardion AB Team Reject Blame For Pedrosa Start Fiasco

After the chaos at the start of Sunday's MotoGP race at Misano, it was inevitable that the hunt would be opened for someone to pin the blame on. With so much at stake, especially for Dani Pedrosa and the Repsol Honda team, the finger of blame was bound to get pointed at everyone.

One person who appears to have come under attack from some quarters is Karel Abraham. The Cardion AB rider was the original cause of the first start being called off, when his bike stalled on the grid after the starting lights had already been illuminated. This caused Race Direction to immediately step in and show flashing orange lights, in accordance with the FIM rules, but this happens so incredibly rarely that it caught everyone off guard. In the ensuing panic, Dani Pedrosa's machine had problems with the front wheel, causing the Spaniard to be rolled off the grid, thereby forfeiting the pole position and being forced to start from the back of the grid.

Regarding "UT officials delayed alert on bomb threat" (Page A1, Saturday), the way the University of Texas handled the bomb threat was inexcusable. If you are going to take a threat seriously enough to evacuate the entire campus, should you not give people enough time to do it? I take issue with UT President Bill Powers describing an evacuation, ordered too late to be effective, as prudent. Thank God for someone like Houston defense attorney Lisa Andrews who is not afraid to challenge a vast industry such as the so-called justice system. The AP story "Is racism behind dislike of president?" (Page A5, Sept. 10) is offensive to me and just another attempt to pigeonhole those who are opposed to President Obama's policies and the direction he is trying to lead this country. Regarding "Shuttle will visit Houston en route to LA" (Page B3, Tuesday), we may never know why Houston was snubbed by not being awarded one of the space shuttles. [...] to add additional insult to our city and bring the shuttle Endeavour to Ellington Field for a photo op is beyond reality.
