Unfortunately, my chances of seeing the game live are not great, as I'll be attending a good friend's wedding reception in Edgerton. It won't be the last time I'll miss a game, and it certainly isn't the first. In fact, tomorrow is my fifth wedding anniversary. I can still remember huddling in my parents' room at the Ramada in Marquette, Mich., with friends watching the Badgers' opener at West Virginia. About halfway through the second quarter I realized that I wasn't dressed yet and was due at the church in less than an hour for pictures. It ended up being a close game that the Badgers won, but aside from the win over Ohio State at Camp Randall, 2003 was an unremarkable season. Here's hoping 2008 is more remarkable. A season preview is coming up later today, but let's talk about Akron for a minute. And no more. This has the makings of a sloppy game. By all accounts, Akron isn't very good, but will probably come in spunky and looking to play well enough to provide a boost going into the MAC season. As has been well-documented, we are riddled with injuries and have lots of question marks. Travis Beckum's hamstring. Chris Pressley's hand. Jonathan Casillas's knee. All of the other guy coming off 2007 or offseason injuries — Matt Shaughnessy, Allen Langford, Jason Chapman, Kirk DeCremer. Throw in Allan Evridge's first start, inconsistency at wide receiver and cornerback, and a new kicker, and this game might not be the blowout it appears to be on the surface. Bodog has us favored by 27 . I'll say we don't cover that: Wisconsin 36, Akron 17. We focus on pounding the ball down Akron's throats, with P.J. Hill and Zach Brown both scoring rushing touchdowns. Garrett Graham has the Badgers' lone receiving touchdown. The UW defense bends but doesn't break much, and Jay Valai forces a big turnover.

He briefly answered the host's question about what Bret Bielema will be looking for Saturday against Akron, touching on new cornerbacks Mario Goins and Niles Brinkley. In our house the program was pre-empted by Barack Obama's acceptance speech, but we watched Big Ten Tonight right afterward. My wife, an avowed Obamaniac, was considerably more excited to see Jim. Looks like we have another Polziniac on board. Here's hoping BTN viewers get a steady diet of Jim (heh heh) throughout the course of the season. The good news is it seems Time Warner and Comcast are breaking down and carrying BTN. Because you don't want to miss the Akron game!

Rather than creating documentary photography like many socially conscious photographers of the era, Heartfield created photomontages by combining several separate photographs to create one image with a specific Fri, 29 Aug 2008 03:44:32 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Akron?rinfoid=69359617 2008-08-29T03:44:32Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Akron?rinfoid=69331070 Wyatt Toregas knows he let a golden opportunity slip by him. Now the Indians catcher is determined not to let it happen again. "I just took things a little too much for granted being on the 40-man (roster)," admitted Toregas, who now suits up for Double-A Akron after a demotion from Triple-A Buffalo.

Two super installations at the Akron Art Museum , which is taking full effect of its striking new Coop Himmelblau building: Upon entering the museum's smart new post-war galleries, visitors are greeted by an enormous Lari Pittman: Thankfully, I will have had learned to break glass with sound (1999). While Pittman is one of the most important American painters of the last 25 years, his work is rarely on view in permanent collection galleries (perhaps because museums shy away from the intensity of Pittman's imagery). Akron, whose director Mitchell Kahan is one of just a handful of openly gay American museum directors, doesn't just exhibit Pittman, he does so in the most fantastically confrontational way imaginable. It's the first thing you see when you enter the museum's post-war galleries. 2.) Later on in Akron's finely-detailed new space: This Alma Thomas , 1972's Spring Awakening , is one of the best Thomases I've seen. (It's been in the museum's collection since 1976.) Across a gallery is an El Anatsui, Dzesi II (2006). It's a fairly typical El Anatsui, complete with flattened aluminum bottle caps. The juxtaposition of the Thomas and the El Anatsui really works: All that division and layering coming together to form a powerful whole. (Incidentally, art ghettoists who scoff at the idea of the alleged hinterlands are really shooting themselves in the Moleskine by not appreciating or visiting places like the Akron Art Museum. Its Doris Salcedo is haunting and perfectly installed. Its Kusama chairs are the best I've ever seen in a museum's collection galleries. Akron's 1966 Bontecou is wonderfully frightening and war-like. And on and on.) 3.) The trompe l'oeil wall at the Brandywine River Museum. George Cope, John Haberle, William Hartnett, and more. I live in a city (Washington) that doesn't have much American trompe l'oeil painting, which is too bad. The more I see the more I want to see more. 4.) Francisco de Zurbaran's Jesus and Mary in Nazareth at the Cleveland Museum of Art. This is really about ten paintings in one: A floral still-life, plus seemingly self-contained presentations of a basket, a bowl, books, pears and birds. (Oh -- Jesus and Mary are there too.) There also appears to be an unlikely indoor weather system affecting the scene. It's all quite surreal -- and rollicking good Catholic fun. 5.) Trevor Paglen's Active Military and Reconnaissance Satellites of the United States of America at the Berkeley Art Museum. Picture a darkened room, a large globe, and four projectors projecting 'satellites' onto the globe. Where you see the dots on the globe is where the satellites are. Thoughts: Why are American military satellites going over us ?! Why do the satellites flicker in and out, like fireflies? Why is there only one satellite over China -- aren't they a potential enemy? There are none over Iraq or Iran! (I looked at North Korea, but it was so small...) After I walked around the globe a few times, a few satellites finally flew over all of those places. Which made me feel better. But should that make me feel better? Or do I have some kind of latent militarisitic streak that just popped out?

Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain tied at 40% each with another 20% still undecided. Key findings: Obama's supporters are more satisfied with the candidates and enthusiastic about the campaign than McCain's supporters. Only 45 percent of Clinton primary voters were supporting Obama. McCain's age may be a bigger factor than Obama's race among Ohio voters. A majority of registered voters say Obama will win Ohio in 2008, despite the fact that the candidates are tied in the level of support.
