Printed in the Taos News, July 28, 2016
There is an unfortunate impression by some that conservationists have been unwilling to engage community stakeholders and are not being sensitive to their concerns. The truth is that there has been outreach to the Peñasco area since 2011. Based on these community conversations, we have listened and made significant changes to the proposal to honor the needs of the local communities.
Beyond these meetings, we've had many other conversations, lunches and coffees with residents, grazing permittees and acequia parciantes. These have focused on listening and constructive and respectful dialogue. While we have not resolved all of our differences, we have identified a number of areas of agreement. Virtually everyone has said that these areas deserve permanent protection through some type of federal legislation.
We agree that preserving traditional uses must be honored in any legislation. We are on record agreeing to the following: No acequia headgates or infrastructure will be included in the proposed boundaries; existing legal motorized routes will remain open; existing legal fuel wood collection sites will remain accessible – long term firewood management should be implemented; stipulating that the proposal is not intended to affect the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; That the SMA include science-based forest restoration including thinning; and welcoming the idea of having the SMA be named as a cultural heritage area.
While there are some who do not recognize the Carson National Forest as public land, and even those who have expressed a desire to open these roadless areas to commercial logging, we do not agree with these positions. We also believe that doing nothing is not an option.
We are honored to have a large and growing list of pueblo, business, organizational and individual supporters. San Miguel and Santa Fe counties and the city of Santa Fe have endorsed this proposal already. Taos, Picuris, Nambe, Pojoaque and Ohkay Owingeh
pueblos are also supportive. While it may not be possible to achieve unanimous support for conserving this land, we have pledged to continue our efforts to build as much public support and understanding as possible.
A wilderness designation is the highest level of land protection in our nation and it ensures protection of our high mountain eadwaters for our desert state. Como se dice, "Agua es vida" in New Mexico. These pristine wilderness landscapes of Taos County also attract tourists from around the world which stimulates our economy.
As parciantes, fire wood cutters, a farmer and descendants of multiple generations of Hispanic ranchers from Northern New Mexico, it is our legacy to protect our cultural and natural heritage and preserving it for future generations. Make it your legacy, too.
To join our efforts or to learn more, visit protectthepecos.org. We are eager to meet with you, whether it is around a kitchen table, in a school classroom, or an acequia meeting. Let's keep talking.
Olivas is the traditional community organizer for New Mexico Wilderness Alliance. Salazar is the executive director of Rivers & Birds. Trujillo is the sportsman organizer for New Mexico Wildlife Federation.

Review: Pentium T4200 goes Penryn
Corporate branding has been the darling of tech tabloids for years now, and here's a some branding spin acrobatics for your consideration. A decade ago two Korean companies created eMachines, as a joint venture to invade the US market via California. The company went public, then private, then it was bought by Gateway in 2004, which itself was swallowed up by Acer a year and a half ago. Somewhere in between eMachines got a reputation of making very cheap PCs which sometimes had some troubles with their power supplies.
All this is irrelevant, as it's part of Acer now, the world's third largest PC maker. Many retailers are now simply selling eMachines products under the Acer eMachines brand, and Acer seems keen on resurrecting the fallen brand for value minded consumers. It seems do be doing a pretty good job so far, as over the past year several affordable models have appeared in the US and EU, including a super cheap 17-incher for just €399. So, we decided to have a look for ourselves, and see how of one of Gateway's kids, now in full Acer custody, is doing.
We went for the E725, launched earlier this year, it is the most recent addition to the companies 15-inch lineup. Unlike most products in this price range, it features a 16:9 15.6-inch screen. However, unlike most 15.6-inch screens, its resolution is not 1366x768, but rather 1280x768. More interestingly, it is based on the recently introduced Intel Pentium dual-core T4200, and this is the main reason we're testing it. In case you're thinking this is an ancient Merom based part, think again.
This is where have to deal with more company branding policies, courtesy of Intel. The T4200 is, in fact, a Penryn based mobile dual-core, although you wouldn't know that by looking at its designation. All previous Pentium dual-cores for the notebook world were either Yonah or Merom based, i.e. they were 65nm parts on a 533MHz or 667MHz FSB. The T4200, however, is a 45nm chip, and it runs at 2000MHz on an 800MHz bus, which sounds great considering the price. However, thanks to Intel, most consumers have no idea what the T4200 actually is, and nobody could blame them if they went for a cheap, 65nm Core 2 Duo, thanks to branding and marketing. As our review will show, this would be a mistake, a big one.
While we're talking hardware, let's take a look at the rest of the spec before we move on. The eMachines E725 packs a 250GB Western Digital hard drive, 2GB of Samsung DDR2 at 667MHz, DVD burner, 1280x768 screen, abg wireless and that's about it. It's a value model, and there's no FireWire, HDMI or any kind of video out. Oddly, it has just two USBs, but we'll get round to that in a minute.
Design and Build Quality
Nobody was obviously trying to hide the E725's Acer heritage, and it borrows a few design and layout elements from Acer's 15.6-inch Aspire and Extensa models. Like many 16:9 laptops, it features a numeric keypad, and its sizable trackpad slightly off center.
The lid looks interesting and sets it apart from most value products. Although it sports a glossy black finish, the subtle surface pattern does a good job keeping fingerprints and smudges away. The glossy black theme is continued on the panel bezel and the glossy panel itself. Even the rubber cushions on the bezel are glossy. It actually looks pretty good, and the bumpy lid is a nice touch, it is both aesthetically pleasing and useful, as it doesn't get as dirty as ordinary glossy finish.
The keyboard and palmrests are made from matte plastic, although not a very jagged one, and they can easily pick up dirt. Nothing spectacular, but nothing tacky either, and we're pleasantly surprised by a few cute details, such as the semi-recesed Power button with a subtle blue backlight. The bottom of the chassis is crafted from rough and rigid matte plastic.
Build quality is average, it's mostly good, but there are a few details which leave much to be desired, such as the battery latches. When locked in place, the battery feels a bit shaky, and sometimes you can hear it move in the bay. The lid feels ok, it doesn't twist much, and the hinges are solid.
You can see one annoying detail next to the camera. Usually we'd say it's a good thing to have thumb grip on the lid, especially if it has a glossy finish, but it's just a bit too thin and sharp, and doesn't feel sturdy either.

Theres a funny story behind this. I am an absolute Disney lover and with my younger siblings a little too old now to use as an excuse to go to the cinemas to watch such films, I missed out. However, I kinda forced Wobbles into having a movie night with me... and of course what did we watch? Tangled!!! hahaha it was really different to the other Disney Princess movies but with the same key ingredients that makes it so loveable. You know the damsel in distress, the shining prince who comes to the rescue, the ugly baddie, a bunch of awesome animal characters with cute personalities and of course a happily ever after ending! ♥ ( I know, I'm such a kid at heart)
The cake was made from Vanilla cake with a Lychee and coconut buttercream. (Its such a hit with my family). I used a real Barbie because I didnt have enough time to make her face and upper body out of gumpaste and I thought she can keep the Rapunzel Barbie afterwards so "2 birds 1 stone"! Woot! The dress I sculpted instead of using a dress cake tin which you can buy from Wilton. Pascal the little chameleon friend on her shoulder was hand crafted by me from gumpaste.
She had her very cute little soiree at Monkey Mania in Bankstown Sports Club. This place, let me warn you, is CRAZY! OMG there was this huge play set which adults and children were swarmed all over. There must have been at least 100 + plus kids running around, was enough to make me utterly petrified about becoming a parent. But on the other hand, it was also uber cute seeing them all run around in this kiddy paradise and it was hilarious to watch kids run out to their parents, balling their eyes out after being knocked about, recuperate after about 2 mins then head back in for round 2 lol
Haha that kid in the background mustve been belting out the Happy Birthday Song!
"I have no idea whats going on!! Why is everyone singing at me???"
Cutting of the cake
Look at that determination on her face!
It's been ages since I've been to one of these kiddy styled parties, brings back fond memories! Fairy Bread!!! hahaha
Happy 2nd Birthday Chels!
You're growing up too quick!!

CERAM´s strategy is driven by the importance of its activities for the environment. SCR catalysts play a significant part in improving air quality by dramatically reducing the level of NOx emissions caused by combustion processes. The catalysts are used in thermal power stations, waste incinerators and diesel-engine commercial vehicles. The trend towards environmentally friendly technologies is presenting major growth opportunities.
Recent developments
Chinese energy policies do not yet mandate plants to make of SCR catalyst technology. However, with the country's electricity consumption set to rise by an annual rate of 10% for the foreseeable future, emissions are bound to be an issue. Since coal-fired generating stations are used to meet most of China's fast growing power needs IBIDEN Ceram is working hard to break into this huge potential market.
Brazil plans to introduce the Euro 5 emission standard for commercial vehicles. In the USA there are excellent opportunities for our high-volume catalysts in the offroad segment – construction and agricultural machinery. Global emission standards for ships are due in a few years' time, and these too will require use of SCR technology.
At the moment our task is to consolidate the existing market position and expand incrementally to prepare for coming market developments.
Investment in innovation is a vital strategic consideration. We see this primarily as a matter of continuously improving our product quality, production processes, product ranges and services.
For example, CERAM has made major progress in developing higher-performance catalysts for diesel engines that will comply with the Euro 6 emission standard. Greater cell density and thinner cell walls are permitting larger catalytically active surfaces, meaning that size and weight do not have to grow in proportion to the NOx reduction rate. Along with the mechanical and thermal stability of the catalyst, this is a critical success factor.
Basic research into new materials is a major focus of our research and development effort, and a key strategic factor, given the escalating prices of some raw materials and the threat of temporary shortages.
Innovation does not happen by accident, it comes from a favourable corporate culture. Among the preconditions of innovation are incentive based systems optimized internal communication, investment in technology infrastructure, external partnerships, staff training programmes and supportive management behaviour.
Every day we ask ourselves how we can improve our products. Ongoing research and development activities ensure that we will continue to be frontrunners in the environmental sector.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Fired Jehovah's Witness for Declining to Work on Weapons, Federal Agency Charged
ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Dresser Rand Company agreed to pay $110,000 and provide other relief to settle a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency announced today.
According to the lawsuit, Harry Davis, a Jehovah's Witness employed at Dresser Rand's Painted Post, N.Y., location, had a religious objection to working on weapons of war. After he declined to work on a part destined for a submarine, Dresser Rand refused to accommodate his request to switch assignments to work on a different piece of equipment, and then fired him.
The EEOC charged that Dresser Rand's actions violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion. The EEOC filed its lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York in Rochester in September 2004 (EEOC v. Dresser Rand Co., 04-CV-6300, W.D.N.Y.). The case was settled before trial as a result of a court-supervised mediation process.
Under the consent decree submitted to federal Judge Charles Siragusa for approval, in addition to the monetary relief, Dresser Rand has amended its equal employment opportunity policy, will conduct anti-discrimination training and post notices about discrimination laws at its Painted Post facility.
"Title VII is clear: an employer has a duty to reasonably accommodate its employee's religious beliefs as long as the accommodation is not an undue hardship," said Elizabeth Grossman, regional attorney for the EEOC's New York District Office. "Allowing an employee to switch assignments can be a reasonable accommodation, and Dresser Rand could have avoided this problem if it had done so."
Michael J. O'Brien, the EEOC's trial attorney on the case, added, "We are pleased that EEOC and Dresser Rand were able to resolve this longstanding lawsuit."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Here's a neat trick that Engagement Organizations can do: because they have solid, integrated website and database systems, they can quickly identify contact records that have missing information, then send out an email blast like this one I just got from Dogwood Initiative:
As you can see, the email includes a personalized URL that takes me directly to a page on the Dogwood website that displays my current contact info from Dogwood's database, and lets me update it with a single click. The information feeds back directly into the database–no data entry or cumbersome import processes are required, so it's fast and easy both for me and for the Dogwood team.
Dogwood sends an email like this a couple of times per year. In just a few seconds, their members are able to easily update their contact information. Dogwood reaps the benefits of an up-to-date supporter list and its supporters get the most relevant, personalized information possible. That sounds like a great deal to me!

Police: 17 officers hurt in Amona synagogue evacuation
Police say in total 17 officers were injured in the evacuation of the Amona settlement's synagogue.

— Judah Ari Gross
Jewish Home MK: Attacking security forces is desecration of God's name
Jewish Home MK Moti Yogev condemns protesters who attacked police during the evacuation at the synagogue at Amona, saying that such acts were a "desecration of God's name."
"The central question is whether an act sanctifies God's name or desecrates God's name," he says, according to Walla.
"The demolition of the Amona settlement is undoubtedly a desecration of God's name and must be protested. But raising a hand against a soldier or policeman, and the violent behavior of some in the synagogue against our brothers the police and the sanctity of a synagogue, are a desecration of God's name."
Amona residents claim synagogue rioters were not locals
Amona residents try to distance themselves from the violent actions of the protesters inside the outpost's synagogue.
A spokesperson for the settlement says none of the people inside the synagogue was actually from Amona.
However, a number of Amona residents, including the outpost's rabbi along with community leader Avichai Boaran, were inside the synagogue at the time of the clashes between protesters and police.
When confronted with this fact, the Amona spokesperson admits that a number of residents were in the building, but says they were there "with the intention of convincing [the protesters] to leave without violence."
At some point, though it is not clear exactly when, demonstrators drew a swastika on a wall of the synagogue in a drawing that compared the Israel Police to Nazis.

— Judah Ari Gross
Police deny using tear gas, say protesters did it

A number of protesters who were taken out of the Amona settlement break the windows of the bus they were being transported in and try to flee the area, but are captured by police, eyewitnesses say.
The bus had stopped outside the adjacent Ofra settlement, as additional demonstrators, some of them people who were removed from Amona the day before, blocked the road.
A photo from the scene shows the front and back windows of the bus broken.
— Judah Ari Gross
PM: We all share in pain of evacuated Amona residents
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the whole country feels the distress of the settlers who were evacuated from Amona, but adds that the evacuation was unavoidable due to the demands of the law.
"We know [these are] difficult days," he says during a visit to the settlement of Ariel. "We made every effort to avoid getting to this point, but ultimately we abide by the demands of the law because we are a law-abiding nation. I and you all share in the great pain of the families who were forced to leave their homes, who actually had to abandon their lives."
42 cops, 15 protesters hurt during 2-day Amona synagogue evacuation
A total of 57 people, the majority of them security personnel, were lightly injured during the Amona evacuation efforts yesterday and today and taken to Jerusalem hospitals, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says.
Of them, 42 were police and border guards, and 15 were protesters, MDA says.
The injuries ranged from hypothermia to light bruises. A police officer suffered chemical burns after a liquid was thrown in his face. Another officer's shoulder was dislocated during the clashes with protesters, a Hadassah Hospital spokesperson says.
One person was also stung by a scorpion, the ambulance service says.
Twenty-seven people were taken to Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus, another 18 were taken to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kermem, and 12 were taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center, MDA says.

Jewish Home MK: Bring synagogue vandals to justice
Jewish Home MK Moti Yogev says police must "bring to justice" the protesters who painted a swastika on the walls of the Amona synagogue.
During the evacuation of the illegal West Bank outpost, demonstrators drew graffiti in the synagogue, including one image that compared the police to Nazis, and the words "death to Zionists."
The drawing, which parodied the Israel Police logo, featured a swastika and changed the name to "Ishmael Police," a reference to the biblical character traditionally believed to be the ancestor of Muslims.
"Whoever writes 'death to Zionists' and draws a swastika on the walls of a synagogue excludes himself from the rest of Israel," Yogev says, in a statement.
"It is a disgrace that should be investigated, and the criminal should be brought to justice," he says.
On Wednesday, Yogev had visited the protesters to give them his support.

Iran rejects 'baseless' warning from Trump
Iran rejects a warning from US President Donald Trump's administration over its latest missile test as unfounded and "provocative."
"Claims made by US President Donald Trump's national security adviser are baseless, repetitive and provocative," says Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi, state news agency IRNA reports.
Trump tweeted earlier today that the Islamic republic was now formally "on notice" after Sunday's missile test.
"Iran has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a ballistic missile. Should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them!" Trump wrote, echoing similar comments yesterday by National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Amona protesters escape bus, flee to nearby Ofra
Rioters removed from the synagogue at Amona smash the windows of the bus on which they were placed by police and flee to the nearby settlement of Ofra.
The rioters then blocked the entrance to the community, Channel 2 reports.
Herzog compares Amona synagogue rioters to Duma killers
Opposition leader Isaac Herzog compares the protesters who clashed with police during the evacuation of the Amona synagogue to the radical Jewish group responsible for the Duma firebombing, in which a Palestinian infant and his parents were killed.
"There's a direct line between the violent rioters that we saw in the last hours of Amona and the underground movement that carried out the Duma massacre. A group of outlaws, with no connection to the law-abiding Amona residents and other settlers," Herzog says in a statement.
"I said before this painful evacuation, we cannot allow violence of any time, especially not against police officers who are our sons," he says.
"We must all come together at this time and protect democracy and the rule of law," Herzog adds.

East Jerusalem man jailed for plotting shooting attack on Israelis
An East Jerusalem resident is sentenced to 3.5 years in jail for planning a shooting attack against Israelis.
The Jerusalem District Court hands down the sentence as part of a plea bargain with 26-year-old Muhammad Abasi, Ynet reports.
Police say Abasi also has a history of throwing stones and firecrackers at Israeli cars, and of social media posts praising attacks on Israelis.
Egypt police arrest over 120 fans over soccer riot anniversary
iAn Egyptian lawyer says police have taken 37 soccer fans into custody overnight in Cairo, after arresting 80 others earlier in the day.
Mokhtar Mounir says the 80 were detained on suspicion they had planned to stage a protest to mark the anniversary of a 2012 soccer riot that killed 73 fans.
It wasn't immediately clear on Thursday why the additional arrests were made.
The 2012 riot in Port Said was Egypt's worst soccer disaster and one of the world's deadliest. Most of the victims were fans of Al-Ahly soccer club.
The hardcore Al-Ahly fans group known as "Ultras Ahlawy," banned by authorities, canceled a planned commemoration after some of its members were arrested ahead of the anniversary. Five were charged with inciting protests and belonging to an outlawed group.
Police chief: We knew non-residents were arriving at Amona
Police chief Roni Alschiech says the police were aware of non-residents arriving at the Amona outpost ahead of its ultimately violent evacuation today and yesterday. These people, he says, were not under the authority of any public or educational leadership.
Israel Radio quoted Alscheich as pledging that police would prosecute all lawbreakers, using evidence gathered by officers during the operation to empty the settlement outpost in line with a court order.
Trump raps Schwarzenegger at National Prayer Breakfast
Trump is seeking prayers for Arnold Schwarzenegger over ratings for "Celebrity Apprentice" — the show the president once hosted.
Addressing the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, Trump says ratings went "right down the tubes," and the show has been a "total disaster" since the actor and former California governor debuted as host last month.
Trump tells the audience at the prayer breakfast: "I want to just pray for Arnold if we can."
Responding in a brief video on his Twitter account, captioned "The National Prayer Breakfast?" Schwarzenegger suggests he and Trump switch jobs since Trump is "such an expert in ratings."

Microsoft said aiding suit against Trump over travel ban
Computer giant Microsoft is helping the attorney general in Washington State with a lawsuit against Trump over his executive order banning citizens from seven Muslim-majority states from entering the US.
Reuters quotes a Microsoft spokesman as saying that the company was providing information about the effect of the executive order, "in order to be supportive."
The spokesman, Pete Wootton, says the company would be "happy to testify further if needed."
Sweden 'strongly condemns' wave of settlement construction approval
Sweden raps Israel for the recent wave of approval for thousands of houses in West Bank settlements and East Jerusalem, saying the Stockholm government "strongly condemns" the move.
"The settlements constitute a flagrant violation of international law and contravene Security Council resolution 2334 on Israeli settlements, adopted on 23 December 2016," the statement says, singling out the homes planned for East Jerusalem as "highly problematic."
IDF officer loses promotion after documents stolen from car
IDF Chief Gadi Eisenkot cancels the promotion of an IDF colonel, who had classified documents stolen from his car last month, the army says.
On January 19, Col. Zaki Yefet was suspended from his position as chief engineering officer of the Northern Command, after a thief broke into his car, stealing sensitive documents and an encrypted army cell phone.
Yefet is cleared to return to his current position. But after a conversation with Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, head of the Northern Command, Eisenkot decides to halt the planned appointment of Yefet to chief operations officer of the IDF Northern Corps, the army says.
Without this promotion, Yefet is now expected to retire from the military after he completes his tenure as chief engineering officer in February 2018.
The IDF Military Police's investigation into the break-in and theft is ongoing, the army says.

Paul Ryan says he is open to tighter Iran sanctions
House Speaker Paul Ryan says he would be amenable to further sanctions on Iran over its recent test of ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
"I'd like to put as much toothpaste back in the tube as possible," Ryan tells reporters, accusing the Obama administration of "appeasing" the regime in Tehran.
"I think the last administration appeased Iran far too much," he says. "I think they went too far with Iran and I think as a result Iran is far more activist than it otherwise would be.
"Iran don't forget … is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Iran writes on their missiles in Farsi, Hebrew and English 'Death to America', 'Death to Israel' and then tests them. So this is not a friendly country that has global peace or national security interests in their minds."
3 hurt in suspected car-ramming in West Bank
Three civilians are lightly wounded when a Palestinian rams her car into their vehicle and the gate at the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Geva Binyamin, north-east of Jerusalem.
"The attacker injured three civilians who have been evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment. The assailant is being treated and questioned at the scene," the IDF says.
"At first we thought it was an accident, but from what I understand, she confessed [to it being deliberate]," an army spokesperson tells The Times of Israel.

Jerusalem hospital treating 3 people following car-ramming

McCain calls Australian envoy after stormy Trump-Turnbull talk
Senior Republican Senator John McCain seeks to assure Australia that the United States remains a staunch ally following a tense discussion between President Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull over refugees.
McCain says in a statement that he spoke with Joe Hockey, Australia's ambassador to the US, and expressed his "unwavering support for the US-Australia alliance." The move came as Trump stressed the need for "tough" talk to make sure other nations don't take advantage of the United States.
McCain, now in his sixth term in the Senate, has emerged as Trump's top Republican nemesis in Congress. While GOP leaders on Capitol Hill have largely refrained from scolding the new president, McCain hasn't been shy about calling Trump out.
3 hurt in West Bank car-ramming identified as 2 cops, civilian
The IDF identifies the three people wounded in tonight's car-ramming in the West Bank as two police officers and a civilian.

Trump: Nothing off the table when it comes to Iran
Trump tells reporters that "nothing is off the table" regarding the US response to Iran's recent ballistic missile test, Reuters reports.
The comments come hours after the president tweets that the Islamic republic has been "formally put on notice" by the US over its tests.
Iran has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a ballistic missile.Should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them!

Palestinian mayor vows new court bid to evict settlers
The mayor of Silwad, the West Bank town adjacent to the newly evacuated outpost of Amona, intends to petition Israel's High Court to evacuate homes built on private Palestinian land in the nearby settlement of Ofra.
Silwad Mayor Abdul Rahman Saleh tells The Times of Israel that after winning the court battle to evacuate Amona, they are now "going to evacuate the settlers from Ofra."
He adds: "It will take time, but I will try."
Noting that Ofra was originally founded on a Jordanian military base, the mayor says he would be willing to accept the presence of Israeli soldiers there, but that the private Israeli homes are illegal and illegitimate.

Badgers can't hold on in Lincoln
Nebraska rallies from mistake-prone first half
LINCOLN, Neb. — The Nebraska Cornhuskers rallied from a 17-point deficit in the second half and defeated the Wisconsin Badgers 30-27 on Saturday night in the Big Ten Conference opener for both teams.
No. 22 Nebraska (4-1, 1-0) overcame a sluggish start — a 14-0 hole midway through the first quarter — and avenged last year's 48-17 loss in Madison.
Taylor Martinez ran for 107 yards and threw for 181, and the Huskers' two-headed running back monster of Rex Burkhead and Ameer Abdullah combined for 156 rushing yards and speared the second-half comeback.
Nebraska's defense did its part too, holding Wisconsin (3-2, 0-1) to 90 yards of total offense in the second half after the Badgers had amassed 205 in the first half.
Nebraska took a 30-27 lead on Brett Maher's 41-yard field goal with 9:41 remaining in the game. Consecutive runs of 4, 11 and 21 yards by Burkhead, who sat most of the third quarter, keyed the drive, which stalled in part because of a holding penalty.
Wisconsin took over at its 10-yard line with 2:55 remaining, and drove to midfield. But the Badgers came up short on a fourth-and-1 play at midfield, with Montee Ball fumbling and Harvey Jackson recovering with 1:11 remaining.
Nebraska scored 17 unanswered points to end the third quarter after Wisconsin had taken a 27-10 lead.
The Badgers, who had converted a fumble deep in Nebraska territory for a touchdown, seemed in control.
But Martinez sparked the Huskers with two big plays on the Huskers' ensuing drive — a 20-yard pass to Kenny Bell, and a 36-yard touchdown run off a draw play that cut Wisconsin's lead to 27-17.
Nebraska forced a three-and-out, igniting the sellout crowd of 85,962. Abdullah then led a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive, running five times to help set up Martinez's 10-yard touchdown pass to Kyler Reed.
After another three-and-out, Nebraska drove from its 32 to the Wisconsin 21, and then settled on Maher's 38-yard field goal to force a 27-27 tie.
Wisconsin led 20-10 at halftime thanks to its big start.
Nebraska won the opening coin flip but elected to receive. Wisconsin smothered Abdullah at the 11-yard line on the opening kickoff, and then forced a three-and-out.
Maher boomed a 55-yard punt to help switch the field, but on Wisconsin's second play from scrimmage, Joel Stave hit Jared Abbrederis on a 54-yard play-action pass.
Three plays later, Ball scored on a 2-yard run to give the Badgers a 7-0 lead.
Nebraska fumbled on three of its first six plays from scrimmage, the second one when Burkhead ran into his blocker and lost the football. Chris Borland recovered for Wisconsin, setting the Badgers up at the Nebraska 23-yard line.
It took seven plays, but Wisconsin turned the turnover into a touchdown when Ball again scored, this time from the 1-yard line on fourth down for a 14-0 lead with 7:20 remaining in the first quarter.
Abdullah returned the ensuing kickoff 83 yards, but Nebraska couldn't get a first down and settled for Maher's 26-yard field goal, cutting the lead to 14-3. The Huskers forced a three-and-out and drove to the Wisconsin 34, but Maher was wide left on a 52-yard attempt.
Wisconsin then drove 65 yards in 10 plays, with Abbrederis catching a 29-yard touchdown pass from Stave. A roughing-the-punter penalty, after Nebraska had forced fourth-and-18, was the key play in the drive that put Wisconsin up 20-3, as Jack Russell missed the PAT.
Nebraska cut the lead to 20-10 after a 12-play, 93-yard drive that Martinez capped with a 3-yard pass to Burkhead.
Wisconsin, with the help of a third-down pass-interference penalty, drove to the Nebraska 23, but Russell missed a 41-yard field goal near the end of the half.
NOTES: Taylor Martinez gained 20 yards on a second-quarter draw play, the first rush of 20 yards or more allowed by Wisconsin this season. … Jack Russell's 41-yard field-goal attempt at the end of the first half was the longest attempt by a Badger kicker this season. His kick was wide left.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro beat Marcos Baghdatis 6-4, 6-1 on Friday to set up a final against Lleyton Hewitt at the Kooyong Classic, an exhibition tournament ahead of the Australian Open.
The seventh-ranked del Potro has beaten Hewitt, a former No. 1 and the 2011 Kooyong champion, in two of their three previous matches. The 31-year-old Hewitt, preparing for his 17th Australian Open, beat No. 6-ranked Tomas Berdych on Thursday to secure his spot in the final.
In Friday's other match at the promotion-relegation tournament, Fabio Fognini of Italy beat big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic 6-4, 6-4.

I'd be interested to hear how others have managed to get any Samsung devices on Telecom serviced/repaired under the CGA as this was a bit of a hard slog to resolve.
Phone was provided as part of a 24 month contract on 27th October last year. On Friday I noticed the battery charge wasn't lasting long, then on Saturday realised I appear to have a USB connector issue.
- Phone shows flashing battery icon when on
- Battery discharge in 5-6 hours rather than 12+
- When powered off I have a flashing battery logo
- Won't provide a data connection over USB
- Phone won't power on unless on mains + battery.
Checking around this appears to be a well known USB connector failure which can be easily repaired. As the phone is 14 months into a 24 month contract with Telecom I wasn't expecting any issues returning the device. I also called Samsung who confirmed that I should return the phone to Telecom for examination.
Whilst the phone has a standard 12 month warranty I felt this would be a warranty repair based on
- Time left on Telecom contract phone was provided as part of
- Consumer Guarantee's Act such that not be sufficient.
- The nature of the failure
It appears that to return an out of warranty phone via a Telecom shop you need to provide documentation in writing stating the nature of your claim under the CGA. Otherwise I was advised to either pay for the repair, or return the device directly to Samsung. The Telecom store stated that they have no responsibilities under the CGA as they are not the manufacturer of the device. After the initial 12 months they are simply the service provided of my mobile connection.
A quick phone call to Samsung confirmed that they aren't allowed to handle Telecom's phones (only Vodafone and 2degrees) and the phone has to be returned via a Telecom store and checked by Telecom's agent (Telegistics). I described the fault in detail and the warranty status of the device. Thankfully the Samsung guys agreed to walk the Assistance Manager at the Telecom store through the process for handling our of warranty returns where Samsung will work with Telegistics on resolving the matter.
So fingers cross I get my phone back for Linux.conf.AU in late January, and meanwhile there are no spare loan phones so I'm getting by on an old Huwaei X1.
If anyone at Telecom has a spare smart phone I can borrow for a couple of weeks that would be greatly appreciated, meanwhile a huge thank you to Kyle at Samsung and Dave at my local Telecom store.

Joint TARS Scotland and Northern Regions Camp
Friday July 28th to Sunday August 6th 2017
After two successful years at Hoathwaite it would be great to have another camp next year and
Diana Wright has passed the baton to us, Elizabeth Williams and Chris Rosindale. The Northern IAGM is at Coniston is in 2018 so we won't be returning until after that. We've looked really hard, but we couldn't find a suitable lakeside site that would take a group booking in high season, provide cheap or free boat launching, and glamping options, in the Lake District.
However we've found a lovely site at Loch Ken in south-west Scotland. There are a variety of more upmarket glamping options as well as cheap camping and boat launching. A pity that it isn't on Derwentwater but you can't have everything! See what the site offers on:
If we want further adventure we can go wild camping for one night on either a wooded spit jutting out into the Loch or (!) on a wooded island. The centre will ferry us there and back in their own boats or we could probably use our own if enough are brought. There are different activities offered, including archery, climbing, zip wire and kayaking, so Outlaws (and those of us who are inner Outlaws) could be kept entertained off the water as well as afloat.Loch Ken is 9 miles long. Bridged by a disused railway viaduct just North of the village of Parton, it is
essentially in 2 halves – though through navigation for small boats is unobstructed by the railway viaduct. The Northern half, from the viaduct up to edge of New Galloway village, has an almost Lake District feel, with hilly woodland and upland farmland reaching the water's edge. The Southern half, from the viaduct down to Crossmichael village, lies between gentle pastureland and is full of little bays, islands, and coves, with many reed-beds, giving it an almost Coot Club/Norfolk Broads feel. As a result, the Loch offers a very attractive setting for Arthur Ransome-inspired activities. It is quieter, and easier to drive to than Coniston, Windermere, Derwentwater or Ullswater, which I hope would compensate for it being a bit further north.
Loch Ken is somewhere TARS has never explored before, so it would be a first for us.
If you are interested in joining us please e-mail email@example.com as soon as possible so that we can send you information and have an idea about how many pitches for tents, caravans, campervans we need to book ( it's a small site) and who may be joining us in more sophisticated accommodation. If you decide you do want to join us then please could you book your preferred accommodation option directly with the Galloway Activity Centre (GAC) (please use the Booking Reference 'TARS2017', so that the GAC can try and group us together on the site) – details for doing so can be found on their website. You can of course join us and leave us when you wish.

The annual Metropolitan Opera auditions tout themselves as "the most intensely competitive opera contests in the world" and who could argue?
Crowds flock to the annual Rocky Mountain Region event where, as the touting contends: "Soaring sopranos, magnificent mezzos, passionate tenors and thunderous bass/baritones go larynx-to-larynx."
It's really like that; young singers battling for a spot on the Met stage in New York and the attention of casting directors. It's not the usual career path for a singer, but it helped Renée Fleming, Jessye Norman, Frederica von Stade and Deborah Voigt.
The event is fun, free and you can just stop in any time. Just be quiet as you come and go, right?
The singing starts 1:30 p.m. this year and continues for about three hours — or until the contestants run out — at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Performing Arts Complex.
A $25 reception follows the singing at 5 p.m. Info at 720-530-0483 or metoperaauditionsrockies.org.

Born: 1924, Bielsko, Poland
Describes her birthday celebration in the Bielsko ghetto [Interview: 1990]
In 1939, Gerda's brother was deported for forced labor. In June 1942, Gerda's family was deported from the Bielsko ghetto. While her parents were transported to Auschwitz, Gerda was sent to the Gross-Rosen camp system, where for the remainder of the war she performed forced labor in textile factories. Gerda was liberated after a death march, wearing the ski boots her father insisted would help her to survive. She married her American liberator.

Argentina Trying to Side Step U.S. Vultures*
Talks aimed at averting Argentina's second default in 13 years has ended with bitter recriminations as the South American country said it could not accept a deal with US hedge fund creditors it dismisses as "vultures".
Court-appointed mediator Daniel Pollack said the failure triggered an imminent default that, among other things, would hurt the Argentine economy as well as bondholders who were not part of the dispute.
"The full consequences of default are not predictable, but they are certainly not positive," he said.
A US court ruling previously blocked Argentina from making US$539m in interest payments due by midnight yesterday to other bondholders who separately agreed to restructuring plans with the country in 2005 and 2010.
Argentine economy minister Axel Kicillof emerged from the New York meeting with creditors and the mediator with an air of defiance, saying his government could find no middle ground.
"We're not going to sign an agreement that jeopardises the future of all Argentines," he said.
"Argentines can remain calm because tomorrow will just be another day and the world will keep on spinning."
There was no immediate comment from the hedge funds, which refused to participate in the debt restructurings and won a US court judgment that they be paid the full value of their bonds plus interest – now estimated at about US$1.5bn.
Mr Kicillof said the funds refused a compromise offer to settle their claim, although he gave no details of that proposal.
He said the funds would also not agree to a stay of the court order to allow Argentina to make the interest payments by last night's deadline and avert economic uncertainty for investors and citizens of the country, which is struggling with recession, a shortage of dollars and one of the world's highest inflation rates.
Mr Kicillof dismissed a decision by ratings agency Standard and Poor's to downgrade Argentina's foreign currency credit rating to "selective default" because of the missed interest payments.
"Who believes in the ratings agencies? Who thinks they are impartial referees of the financial system?" he said.
Argentine president Cristina Fernandez had long refused to negotiate with the hedge fund creditors, often calling them "vultures" for picking on the carcass of the country's record $100bn default in 2001.
The holdouts, led by New York billionaire Paul Singer's NML Capital, spent more than a decade litigating for payment in full rather than agreeing to provide Argentina with debt relief.
They also sent lawyers around the world trying to force Argentina to pay its defaulted debts and were able to get a court in Ghana to temporarily seize an Argentine naval training ship. The threat of seizures forced Ms Fernandez to stop using her presidential plane and instead fly on private jets.
Restoring Argentina's sense of pride and sovereignty after the 2001-2002 economic collapse has been a central goal of Ms Fernandez and her predecessor and late husband, Nestor Kirchner.
The couple nationalised the pension system, kept energy cheap through subsidies and dug deep into the treasury to redirect revenue to the poor through handouts.
Argentina has also made efforts to return to global credit markets that have shunned it since the default.
The government paid its debt to the International Monetary Fund and agreed in May with the Paris Club of creditor nations on a plan to begin repaying US$9.7bn in debts unpaid since 2001.
It also agreed to a US$5bn settlement with Grupo Repsol after seizing the Spanish company's controlling stake in Argentina's YPF oil company.
Analysts say a new default would undermine all of these efforts.
"This is unexpected; an agreement seemed imminent," said Ramiro Castineira of Buenos Aires-based consultancy Econometrica.
"Argentina would have benefited more from complying with the court order in order to get financing for Vaca Muerta," he added, referring to an Argentine region that has one of the world's largest deposits of shale oil and gas.
Only a few international companies have made commitments to help develop the fields as many fear the government's interventionist energy policies. The government has also struggled to get investors because it can't borrow on the global credit market.
Prices for Argentine bonds had surged to their highest level in more than three years on the possibility that Argentina would reach a deal with the hold-out creditors. Argentina's Merval stock index also climbed more than 6.5% in midday trade on a likely deal.
Optimism had been buoyed by reports yesterday that representatives of Argentina's private banks association, ADEBA, were poised to offer to buy out the debt owed to the hedge funds.
In return, the reports said, the US court would let Argentina make the interest payments due before the midnight deadline and avoid default.
The deal failed to materialise.
"It is an unfortunate situation which is pushing the country into another default. As defaults go, we all know when we get into one but it is very unclear when and how to get out of it," said Alberto Ramos, Latin America analyst at Goldman Sachs.
"We just added another layer of risk and uncertainty to a macro economy that was already struggling. This puts us on a path of unpredictable economic and financial consequences.
"But nothing will last forever. At some point the parts involved will hopefully sort this out."

Joseph Greenberg, University registrar, dies
University Registrar Joseph Greenberg, a graduate alumnus of Princeton who joined the registrar's office in 1978, died Sunday, Nov. 6, of complications from brain cancer. He was 58.
A literature and art enthusiast who once taught in the English department, Greenberg was known for his devotion to his family and to Princeton. As registrar, he oversaw the collection and maintenance of academic records and enrollment data as well as online course registration, classroom assignments and other activities.
"Joe Greenberg led the registrar's office with uncommon wisdom and good sense," said Dean of the College Nancy Malkiel. "He combined authority with gentleness, firmness with humor, optimism with a realistic sense of formidable challenges. He had a great sense of opportunity and possibility -- instead of sticking to established ways of doing business, he was always ready to find new ways to accomplish the work of the office, to do a better job of serving faculty and students."
Robert Bromfield, deputy registrar for academic affairs, said, "He was a warm and generous person, and it was a pleasure to work with him. He was instrumental in mentoring me in the profession, and I have deep gratitude for all he has done for me. He was a gentleman, a gentle soul and always cared about others."
Greenberg was promoted this fall to the new position of University registrar, focusing on large strategic issues and policy matters facing the office. He was named registrar in 2000, acting registrar in 1999 and deputy registrar in 1993.
Greenberg took pride in his office's initiatives to improve services for the campus community, most notably through the implementation of the PeopleSoft Student Administration System. Developed over several years in collaboration with the Office of Information Technology and completed this summer, the system has enabled the University to provide online course information and registration and enhanced access to academic records for faculty, students and staff.
"Even in the face of serious illness, he led the way in embracing, advocating and finally implementing the new PeopleSoft student system," Malkiel said. "As he battled brain cancer over the last year and a half, he conducted himself with remarkable grace, dignity and courage. He never gave up, he never complained, he never stopped thinking about contributions he could make, about others he could help. He wanted always to do everything he could to support his colleagues in the registrar's office and to further the best interests of the University."
Greenberg joined the registrar's office in 1978 as assistant registrar after a year as a lecturer in the Department of English, where he directed the expository writing program. He earned his Ph.D. in English from Princeton in 1977, with a focus on 18th-century English drama.
A native of Philadelphia, Greenberg earned a bachelor's degree in English literature and a master's degree in education from Temple University as well as a master's degree in English from the University of Minnesota. He was an aficionado of literature, art and architecture who enjoyed visiting museums and attending the theater. He loved spending time with his family and traveling, particularly to Mexico and Central America.
Greenberg, who lived in Skillman, N.J., is survived by his wife of 37 years, Hinda; his son Jacob of New York City; and his son David, daughter-in-law Sarit and grandson Aaron, also of New York City.
Services are scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8, at Goldstein's Funeral Home in Southampton, Pa. A campus memorial service will be held at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Coalition for the Homeless, 129 Fulton St., New York, NY 10038 or the Center for Jewish Life, Princeton University, 70 Washington Road, Princeton NJ 08544.
