The Artist's Cafe closing
After nearly five years in business, The Artist's Cafe will permanently close its doors in downtown Newton. The restaurant's closure will impact 20 employees when the business officially ceases operation on Saturday.
"I never wanted to leave this town. I put five years into this business," said The Artist's Cafe owner Louis Demarhos, adding the decision is heart-breaking. "We made a lot of great friends here."
Since Monday, rumors of the restaurant's demise circulated Newton, particularly after The Artist's Cafe used its Facebook page to announce an end to live music at the popular downtown venue. Last Friday's performance by Splitfinger was the last for the restaurant due to a "generally bad economy."
On Wednesday, the restaurant's owners, Dimarhos and Tim Andrews, again used Facebook to confirm the community's suspicions.
"Dear loyal customers," the message begins, "because we were unable to come to terms on a new, more affordable lease, we have made the decision to close the restaurant."
The business will be open to the public a final time Friday. After a private party on Saturday, The Artist's Cafe will close.
"We want to sincerely thank everyone for being part of this restaurant for five years," The Artist's Cafe announces on its Facebook page. "It was a wonderful ride. We love you all."
Dimarhos declined to discuss details of lease negotiations with the building's owner Lynn Nguyen, who also owns the Artist's Lofts adjacent to the restaurant. The restaurant property at 100 North Main Avenue is valued at $235,000, according to Catawba County tax records. The apartments, located at 102 North Main Avenue, are valued at $196,400, according to tax records.
Nguyen did not return a phone call seeking details about the future of the building by press time Wednesday. She is also president of Nagano's restaurants in Hickory and Conover.
While Dimarhos would not discuss financial discussions related to The Artist's Cafe's lease, he commented on the value of his customers support.
"It is worth more than a million dollars in business," he said. "I have had customers come in and offer money to pay the rent."
Some of those customers offered comments on The Artist's Cafe's Facebook page after the restaurant's closing was confirmed.
"What a loss to our community," said Ann Aichinger, a customer.
Linda Smith said the news "breaks our hearts," and Tim Koch commented that he hates to see the "only 'nice' restaurant in Newton close down."
"Hate to see this happen," William Smith commented online. "The cafe is the best thing that has happened to Newton in many years."
Meanwhile, Dimarhos said he is concerned about the restaurant's 20 workers who will now be out of work.
"I am proud of the people who worked here, every person, from the dishwashers to the wait staff," he said. "All of my help is upset, and we are trying to find them jobs elsewhere. They are all proud to work here. Any restaurant that can hire them, they can be their best employees."
The restaurant's looming closure is the second time the doors were locked for a "final time." In May 2006, the restaurant's developer and original owner closed the first incarnation of The Artist's Cafe. By early 2007, Dimarhos and Andrews opened the business again under the same name.

I've been writing stories since I was eight. I used to charm my parents with adventures of bengal tigers on the hunt in a blue green jungle. When I dream I dream in vivid color and weirdness. I once dreamed I was on the back of a motorcycle with a man whose face I could not see. We were on the run from some unknown thing and heading straight towards a cliff that lead to a deep lagoon. We jumped motorcycle, clothes, and all... Both of us made it and swam to the bottom. On the bottom of that lagoon I found a treasure of jeweled eggs.

... is up now .
Changes & notes:
- Added new team logo's but don't worry, no player photo's using the facetool app are included.
- Added a couple of long missing player nicknames. More can be added, changed, or removed going forward so post in this thread if you have any opinions about this.
- The HOF pages should be up to date now.
- Missing awards: No top owners from 2024 but they are up to date for all previous seasons. No top fireman or MVP awards for the last four seasons, and the Silver Slugger, Platinum Pitcher, and Rookie of the Year displayed for the last four seasons are the ones chosen by OOTP.
- If you want pre and post All Star game team record splits Catobase supports this feature, just petition the BOG to use OOTP for All Star selections going forward .
- It may be possible to fix a Catobase fielding win-shares bug, so if anyone has knowledge about this bug (Duke often mentioned this in the past) please post the problems you see in this thread.
- Arthur Millikan of Milwaukee has the new highest single-season batting average for AAA!
- The Catobase DB uses the OOTP team code as a primary key in some tables, so it errored out multiple times due to the return of the TRE (Trenton) team code this year. The workaround I used was to change all pre-2024 'TRE' references to 'TRN'. This may result in some unusual pages for this team so if you see anything funky please report it in this thread as I may be able to manually correct any display flakiness in future FBR versions (assuming we are able to continue the FBR pages). If we have similar circumstances in the future it might be wise to use a new OOTP team code for the returning team.
Seamus (The Family Guy fisherman with wooden limbs): "Arrr, the owners who have changed their OOTP name in the last few years have had their managerial records combined in FBR and no longer be listed separately. Aye sir, that means the owners with previously split managerial statistics, including the names of Josh, Fritz, & pbot, would no longer be split up and so if it's joined owner stats ye be looking for then the 2025 FBR is the place to start because the records compiled under even slightly different OOTP manager names have now been joined as if they were one single owner. That is to say if you now be looking at these owners FOBL career stats in FBR, they will be represented as a single entity, not split into two, as was the case in some prior versions of FBR, including last years version. The main bullet point of information, if you will, that I'm trying to convey here is that that previously separated owner stats have now been combined."

After three days the sourdough starter was definitely active, though not to the "vigorously active" stage.
At that point I fed it and put it in the fridge to hibernate while we were away for the weekend.
It seemed reasonably happy when I took it out a few days later, fed it, and let it warm up again in preparation for starting a bowl of waffle batter.
My recipe of choice was King Arthur Flour's classic sourdough waffles (or pancakes). Luckily waffles get more flavour than leavening from their sourdough content; this meant if my starter really is kind of lackluster it wouldn't be a big issue. Three minutes turned out to be the perfect cooking time in the flipping waffle iron, and they came out light and crispy, with a bit of sourdough tang.
Half of a recipe made 4 waffles. The leftovers went in the fridge overnight, and crisp up very nicely when reheated in the toaster oven. I'll definitely make these again and try the pancake version as well.

We are able to provide a unique, credible system for summarizing pricing information in the personal lines marketplace. This information will be of great value to insurance professionals and consumers alike.
(PRWEB) March 13, 2012
MarketScout announced today that it has begun tracking U.S. personal lines rates for homeowners, automobile and personal articles coverages.
According to Richard Kerr, founder and CEO of MarketScout, "MarketScout has been a proven industry resource for tracking commercial insurance pricing since 2001, and we are now pleased to offer similar data for personal lines. We are monitoring personal lines pricing and coverage terms across the United States. Because of the many factors that impact the prices consumers pay for personal lines insurance, we are taking note of the class of business, geographic location and coverage requirements when monitoring these prices. We are also differentiating between High Net Worth accounts (homes valued over $1,000,000 or total premium over $10,000) and traditional personal lines accounts."
Kerr explained MarketScout's tracking capabilities by noting, "We have an exceptional amount of data which is captured from the MarketScout Exchange which enables us to track pricing in the personal lines marketplace. Also, via our affiliation with The National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research, we conduct in person surveys of thousands of insurance agents, company personnel and other professionals attending continuing education and designation update institutes. By combining the data from the MarketScout Exchange with the surveys from The National Alliance, we are able to provide a unique, credible system for summarizing pricing information in the personal lines marketplace. This information will be of great value to insurance professionals and consumers alike."
In February, the composite premium for personal lines was up 2 percent. Premiums for homeowners insurance for homes under $1,000,000 in replacement cost value were up 2 percent on a national basis. Homeowners insurance for homes over $1,000,000 was up one percent. Automobile insurance increased two percent and personal articles (jewelry, paintings and the like) increased one percent.
A summary of the February 2012 rates for personal lines is set forth below.
Personal Lines
Homeowners under $1,000,000 value Up 2%
Homeowners over $1,000,000 value Up 1%
Automobile Up 2%
Personal Articles Up 1%

Smashbox single eyeshadow in Enchanted
is the only Smashbox eyeshadow I have and since I'm not a fan of Smashbox I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for a massive sale making it cheaper than Inglot (a really cheap brand here). To my surprise this eyeshadow is excellent quality. The texture is sooo soft and creamy, it applies smoothly, blends easily wears really long hours. The colour is this lovely lilac-lavender-heather purple with pearly finish. Not particularly unique, I guess I already have something similar in my stash, but qualitywise this one beats other purple eyeshadows I've got.
Disclaimer: I bought the product myself for my personal use and I am not affiliated with any company. I am not paid to do this review and everything I said here is my genuine opinion.

Change of Employer
Should an expat change employment during the term, the 30% ruling can be transferred to the new employer for the remainder of the term provided that the period between the end of employment at the former employer and the signature date of the new employment contract does not exceed 3 months. For the transfer of the 30%-ruling a new application needs to be filed with the Dutch tax authorities. The tax authorities will re-evaluate if the conditions for the 30%-ruling are being met.

Dog Attacks Boys on Way to NJ Elementary School
Posted on Jun 13, 2013
Two 12 year old boys were attacked by a pit bull as they walked back to their New Jersey elementary school after their lunch break on Tuesday, June 11, 2013.
Police said the boys were walking on the sidewalk on the Valley Brook Avenue on their way to Lincoln Elementary School in Lyndhurst when the pit bull jetted out of a nearby home and bit them, giving both puncture wounds to the buttocks and thighs. Police said the pit bull ran back into the house after the attack.
Both boys were taken to Hackensack Medical Center for treatment, and the dog's owner was issued two violations - one for a dog at large and another for an unlicensed animal. The dog was taken to Bergen County Animal Center for observation. Tuesday's attack was not the first incident involving the dog.

Selena Gomez: Is Justin Bieber Stopping Her Commitment To Zedd?
Is Justin Bieber the one thing that's keeping Selena Gomez and Zedd from taking things to the next level? HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY what the hold up is.
Justin Bieber, 20, could still be on Selena Gomez's mind as she tries to move on and start a new relationship with Zedd, 25. After all, the 22-year-old singer/actress has been seeing the DJ for quite some time, but there hasn't been any commitment yet.
Selena Gomez Committing To Zedd Delayed By Justin Bieber
Things seem to be going really well between Selena and Zedd, especially since they have been open about their flirtatious behavior.
So, why aren't they an official couple yet? Unfortunately, the answer is her ex, Justin.
NEW PICS: Zedd & Selena Gomez Show PDA In Atlanta!!
"Selena knows if she goes with Zedd it could push Justin over the edge and she's not sure if she wants to go that far," a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
However, it was already pretty obvious that Justin was still a factor when Selena was caught having a one-on-one dinner "date" with him at a closed restaurant on Jan. 15.
Come on, Selena — give Zedd a chance!
Justin & Selena Both Have New Love Interests
Even though neither of them are in official relationships, both Justin and Selena have someone new to focus on.
Obviously Selena has her new pal Zedd, who she has also reportedly recorded new music with that will hopefully be released sometime in 2015.
As for Justin, he has his friend Hailey Baldwin, who he was caught massaging and kissing in his pool exactly one week after his meet up with Selena.
Moving on isn't an easy thing to do, but Selena and Justin are headed in the right direction — they just need to cross the finish line.

Basic Milk Poaching
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Chef James Briscione's method for poaching anything—meat, fish, vegetables—in milk. —Food52
Makes: 2 to 3 pounds of protein or vegetable
4 boneless chicken breasts/1 to 2 pounds firm white fish filet/1 to 2 vegetable "steaks"
teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
ounces butter
shallots, thinly sliced
cloves garlic, thinly sliced
6 to 8
branches woody herbs (thyme, sage, rosemary, oregano)
teaspoon all-purpose flour (for gluten-free, use rice flour)
quart whole or 2% milk, plus more as needed
Zest of 1 lemon, removed with a vegetable peeler
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
pinches nutmeg
- Season the main item (chicken, fish or vegetable) with kosher salt, coating the item well on both sides.
- Melt the butter in a wide bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter is browned and has a roasted, nutty aroma.
- Pat the main item dry and place in the pan, presentation side down, and sear until well-browned. Flip and brown well on the second side. Remove the item from the pan to rest on a rack.
- Add the shallots and garlic to the pan and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned.
- When the shallots and garlic are golden and fragrant, scatter the herbs and flour into the pan. Cook, stirring often, for 1 minute more. Gradually whisk the milk into the pan and bring the mixture to simmer. Add the lemon zest, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Add your main ingredient to the pan, and add more milk to cover if needed. Bring the milk in the pan to a light simmer; you are looking to maintain a temperature around 180˚F (82˚C). Cook until proper doneness is reached: boneless chicken, about 20 minutes; fish filets, 12 to 15 minutes; vegetables, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the items from the pan rest on a rack. The poaching liquid may be reduced to create a sauce if desired: - For chicken, add thinly sliced mushrooms and simmer until tender and thickened. - For fish, reduce until thickened, then remove from the heat and stir in capers, lemon juice, and dill. - For vegetables, reduce until thickened, then remove from the heat and stir in ground chiles, sliced cilantro, and lime juice.
- Garnish with chopped toasted nuts or breadcrumbs.

The restaurant industry is a cutthroat business at best. Many establishments come and go within a couple years or so on average. The most vulnerable are independent restaurants that aren't associated with the big franchises. One of the problems that these places suffer from initially is that they need to advertise their presence and convince the locals that they have something of value to serve. If they only serve one type of cuisine, they run the risk of alienating anyone that doesn't particularly enjoy whatever that cuisine might be. Depending on what they choose to make may or may not resonate with the local populace. That is why even the most stringently themed restaurants will still have some other options on their menus to ensure that they will have something for even the most picky of diners. Other establishments have avoided this particular pitfall by introducing fusion cuisine to their menu. This allows them to do several things to keep diners interested in coming back for more.
First and foremost is the fact that fusion cuisine generally are combinations of the best ingredients from varying culinary styles. Also the dishes may not be as spicy or intense as their non-fusion counterparts. This means that you get good quality ingredients and a more mellow taste of the culinary styles. That's not to say that the food is bland, just that it may not be as tongue searingly hot as the dish may be in its original form. Considering that the majority of the population doesn't like that extreme heat of a variety of peppers, this is a good thing. I've always thought that the hotter a dish is doesn't necessarily make it better. I find that I am disappointed when all there is is that heat. It covers up the flavors of all the other ingredients.
The next thing that fusion cuisine offers is the likelihood that more people will be interested by more things on the menu. The diners may not be familiar with some of the ingredients or methods used to create a dish, but there is a good chance that they know about the other ingredients. This means that even if they are unsure of something, they at least know some of it. They know what they like and are more willing to try new things if they at least know what a portion of the dish is and have tried it before. Change is good, though most people don't like it. That is why it's important to ease them into it.
So given the above, it seems statistically viable that a fusion cuisine establishment will actually have a better chance of success compared to a strictly singular culinary style, at least from the beginning. Once a restaurant makes a name for itself and has a good reputation with the locals, it is then more of a matter of them excelling at whatever they chose to serve.
Tim Hiller is a freelance writer that has toyed with the idea of starting a restaurant serving fusion cuisine, though is unsure of what culinary styles to combine. http://www.osorioslatinfusion.com

Helsinki Commission Workshop to Explain Global Magnitsky Sanctions ProcessWednesday, March 07, 2018
WASHINGTON—The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the Helsinki Commission, today announced a workshop to provide human rights organizations, transparency advocates, and congressional staff with the tools they need to effectively petition the U.S. government to review and potentially designate individuals and organizations for sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act. HOW TO GET HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSERS AND KLEPTOCRATS SANCTIONED UNDER THE GLOBAL MAGNITSKY ACT Tuesday, March 13, 2018 3:00 p.m. Capitol Visitor Center Room SVC 212-10 Live Webcast: www.facebook.com/HelsinkiCommission Sanctions experts will describe, from an operational perspective, how the U.S. government identifies, vets, and ultimately sanctions individuals. They also will discuss the evidentiary standards for sanctioning human rights violators vs. those engaged in serious acts of corruption. Finally, panelists will share investigative techniques, communications strategies, and responses to aggressive tactics used to intimidate human rights and transparency advocates. Panelists include: Rob Berschinski, Senior Vice President, Human Rights First; former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Brad Brooks-Rubin, Managing Director, The Sentry; formerly with the Departments of State and Treasury Bill Browder, Founder and Director, Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign Mark Dubowitz, CEO, Foundation for Defense of Democracies Adam Smith, Partner, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher; formerly with the National Security Council and Department of Treasury Josh White, Director of Policy and Analysis, The Sentry; formerly with the Department of Treasury The Global Magnitsky Act is a powerful new tool for deterring human rights violations and fighting corruption. Presence on this list freezes any U.S. assets an individual may hold, blocks future transactions within the U.S. financial system, and bans any travel to the United States. By sanctioning individuals who engage in the worst abuses of power, the United States hardens its own system to external abuse while extending moral support and solidarity to those whose fundamental freedoms are curtailed or denied.
The 2017 Human Dimension Implementation Meeting: An OverviewFriday, August 18, 2017
Each year,1 the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) organizes the Human Dimension Implementation Meeting (HDIM) in Warsaw, Poland. As Europe's largest annual human rights conference, the HDIM brings together hundreds of government and nongovernmental representatives, international experts, and human rights activists for two weeks to review OSCE human rights commitments and progress. The 2017 HDIM will be held from September 11 to September 22. Human Dimension Implementation Meeting 2017 The HDIM allows participating States to assess one another's implementation of OSCE human dimension commitments, identify challenges, and make recommendations for improvement. The HDIM agenda covers all human dimension commitments, including freedoms of expression and the media, peaceful assembly and association, and religion or belief; democratic elections; the rule of law; tolerance and non-discrimination; combating trafficking in persons; women's rights; and national minorities, including Roma. Each year, three special topics are selected for a full-day review. 2017 special topics will be 1) ensuring "equal enjoyment of rates and participation in political and public life," 2) "tolerance and nondiscrimination," and 3) "economic, social and cultural rights as an answer to rising inequalities." This year's meeting will take place at the Warsaw National Stadium (PGE Narodowy), the site of the NATO summit earlier this year. The meeting will be webcast live. Background on the Human Dimension Implementation Meeting When the Helsinki Final Act was signed in Finland in 1975, it enshrined among its ten Principles Guiding Relations between Participating States (the Decalogue) a commitment to "respect human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief, for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion" (Principle VII). In addition, the Final Act included a section on cooperation regarding humanitarian concerns, including transnational human contacts, information, culture and education. The phrase "human dimension" was coined to describe the OSCE norms and activities related to fundamental freedoms, democracy (such as free elections, the rule of law, and independence of the judiciary), humanitarian concerns (such as trafficking in human beings and refugees), and concerns relating to tolerance and nondiscrimination (e.g., countering anti-Semitism and racism). One of the innovations of the Helsinki Final Act was agreement to review the implementation of agreed commitments while considering the negotiation of new ones. Between 1975 and 1992, implementation review took place in the context of periodic "Follow-up Meetings" as well as smaller specialized meetings focused on specific subjects. The OSCE participating States established permanent institutions in the early 1990s. In 1992, they agreed to hold periodic Human Dimension Implementation Meetings" to foster compliance with agreed-upon principles on democracy and human rights. Additional changes to the modalities for the HDIM were agreed in 1998, 2001, and 2002, which included shortening the meeting from three weeks to two weeks, and adding three "Supplementary Human Dimension Meetings" annually on subjects selected by the Chairmanship-in-Office on particularly timely or time-sensitive issues. One of the most notable features of the HDIM is the strong participation of non-governmental organizations. The United States has been a strong advocate for the involvement of NGOs in the HDIM, recognizing the vital role that civil society plays in human rights and democracy-building initiatives. OSCE modalities allow NGO representatives to raise issues of concern directly with government representatives, both by speaking during the formal working sessions of the HDIM and by organizing side events that examine specific issues in greater detail. 1 In exceptional years when the OSCE participating States hold a summit of heads of state or government, the annual review of human dimension commitments is included as part of the Review Conference which precedes the summit, and also includes a review of the political-military and economic/environmental dimensions.
2017 Trafficking in Persons Report – the OSCE RegionTuesday, June 27, 2017
Human trafficking remains a pressing human rights violation around the world with the International Labor Organization estimating that nearly 21 million people are enslaved at any given time, most of them women and children. As part of U.S. efforts to combat human trafficking, the U.S. Department of State today released the 2017 Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP Report), reflecting the efforts of 187 countries and territories to prosecute traffickers, prevent trafficking, and to identify and assist victims, as described by the Palermo Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children. Trafficking Victim Identification and Care: Regional Perspectives According to the new TIP Report, in the 2016 reporting year, countries in the OSCE region identified 304 more trafficking victims than in the previous year, for a total of 11,416 victims. This increase is particularly notable when compared to the East Asia and Pacific, Near East, South and Central Asia, and Western Hemisphere regions, where victim identification declined, but still maintained a generally upward trend over 2014. Trafficking victim identification and care is critical for proper management of refugee and migrant flows. In order to help law enforcement and border guards identify trafficking victims among the nearly 400,000 migrants and refugees entering the region last year, the OSCE Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Human Beings launched a new project to conduct multiple trainings, including simulation exercises, through 2018. The first training in November 2016 included participants from 30 OSCE participating States. Victim identification and care are also critical for successful prosecutions. Nearly every region of the world saw a drop in prosecutions of human traffickers, but an increase in convictions in the 2016 reporting year. This trend may reflect a growing knowledge among prosecutors of how to successfully investigate and prosecute a trafficking case. It also may reflect an overall increase in trafficking victims who have been identified, permitted to remain in-country, and cared for such that the victims—now survivors—are ready, willing, and able to testify against their traffickers. Despite the dramatic decline in prosecutions (46 percent) in the OSCE region, convictions held steady at nearly the same numbers as the previous year. Individual Country Narratives Along with regional statistics, the TIP Report also provides individual country narratives, recommendations for the most urgent changes needed to eliminate human trafficking, and an assessment of whether the country is making significant efforts to meet the minimum standards for the elimination of human trafficking. Tier 1 countries meet the minimum standards for the elimination of human trafficking. Tier 2 countries do not yet meet the standards, but are making significant efforts to do so. Tier 2 Watch List countries do not meet the minimum standards and are making significant efforts to do so, but have a very large or increasing number of trafficking victims, have failed to demonstrate increasing efforts over the previous year, or lack a solid plan to take additional steps in the coming year. Tier 3 countries do not meet the minimum standards and are not making significant efforts to do so. Twenty-five OSCE participating States qualified for Tier 1 in the TIP Report. Nineteen participating States qualified for Tier 2, including Ukraine, which was upgraded this year after four years on the Tier 2 Watch List. Five participating States were designated for the Tier 2 Watch List, including Hungary, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, and Bulgaria.* Four participating States were on Tier 3, including Belarus, Russia, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. States on Tier 3 may be subject to sanctions. Legislation authored by Helsinki Commission Co-Chairman Rep. Chris Smith—who also serves as the Special Representative for Human Trafficking Issues to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly – requires the TIP Report to be produced every year. In recent years the report has also included an assessment of the United States. Since the inception of the report, more than 100 countries have written or amended their trafficking laws, with some nations openly crediting the report for inspiring progress in their countries' fight against human trafficking. * OSCE participating States Andorra, Monaco, Lichtenstein, and San Marino are not included in the TIP Report.
The Helsinki Process: A Four Decade OverviewWednesday, February 01, 2017
In August 1975, the heads of state or government of 35 countries – the Soviet Union and all of Europe except Albania, plus the United States and Canada – held a historic summit in Helsinki, Finland, where they signed the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. This document is known as the Helsinki Final Act or the Helsinki Accords. The Conference, known as the CSCE, continued with follow-up meetings and is today institutionalized as the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, or OSCE, based in Vienna, Austria. Learn more about the signature of the Helsinki Final Act; the role that the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe played during the Cold War; how the Helsinki Process successfully adapted to the post-Cold War environment of the 1990s; and how today's OSCE can and does contribute to regional security, now and in the future.

U.S. Delegation to OSCE PA Drives International Action against Human Trafficking, Discrimination, and Anti-SemitismFriday, July 08, 2016
WASHINGTON—Seven members of Congress traveled to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) Annual Session in Tbilisi, Georgia last week to demonstrate the U.S. commitment to the principles of the Helsinki Final Act, including respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. At the Annual Session, which brought together nearly 300 parliamentarians from 54 of the 57 OSCE participating States, the U.S. lawmakers introduced several successful resolutions and amendments targeting current challenges facing the OSCE region, ranging from human trafficking to discrimination and anti-Semitism to the abuse of Interpol mechanisms to target political opponents and activists. The delegation included Helsinki Commission Chairman Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04), Co-Chairman Sen. Roger Wicker (MS), Commissioner Rep. Robert Aderholt (AL-04), Commissioner Rep. Randy Hultgren (IL-14), Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (PA-08), Rep. Richard Hudson (NC-08), and Rep. David Schweikert (AZ-06). Rep. Aderholt currently serves as a vice-president of the OSCE PA, while Sen. Wicker was re-elected to a third term as chair of the OSCE PA Committee on Political Affairs and Security, also known as the First Committee, during the annual meeting. Chairman Smith led international lawmakers in battling international human trafficking and child sex tourism through a successful resolution calling on all OSCE participating States to raise awareness of sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism (SECTT), especially by convicted pedophiles, business travelers, and tourists. Chairman Smith, who serves as the OSCE PA Special Representative on Human Trafficking Issues, also hosted a July 3 briefing on U.S. efforts to prevent SECTT through a new international reciprocal notification system – known as International Megan's Law – that facilitates timely communications among law enforcement agencies. A second U.S. resolution, authored by OSCE PA Special Representative for Anti-Semitism, Racism and Intolerance and Helsinki Commission Ranking Sen. Ben Cardin (MD), called for action against the anti-Semitic and racist violence sweeping across North America and Europe. The resolution, which passed overwhelmingly, urged members of the OSCE to develop a plan of action to implement its long-standing body of tolerance and non-discrimination agreements, called for international efforts to address racial profiling, and offered support for increased efforts by political leaders to stem the tide of hate across the region. The resolution was fielded by Commissioner Hultgren. Chairman Smith also called on participating States to more effectively prevent and combat violence against European Jewish communities through the introduction of two amendments to the resolution of the OSCE PA General Committee on Democracy, Human Rights and Humanitarian Questions (also known as the Third Committee). His first amendment called for the explicit recognition of the increase in anti-Semitic attacks in the region, while the second encouraged participating States to formally recognize and partner with Jewish community groups. Responding the abuse of Interpol systems for politically motivated harassment by Russia and other members of the OSCE, Co-Chairman Wicker authored a successful amendment to the First Committee resolution, which called on participating States to stop the inappropriate placement of Red Notices and encouraged Interpol to implement mechanisms preventing politically motivated abuse of its legitimate services. The amendment was fielded by Rep. Hudson. During the Annual Session, members of the delegation also offered strong support for important resolutions fielded by other countries, including one by Ukraine on human rights in illegally occupied Crimea and another on the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. They voted for a highly relevant resolution on combating corruption fielded by Sweden, and helped to defeat a Russian resolution attacking the Baltic States, Poland and Ukraine in the context of combating neo-Nazism. U.S. delegates indicated their support for the work of attending Azerbaijani human rights activists, and met with attending members of the Israeli Knesset. While in Tbilisi, the group also met with several high-ranking Georgian officials, including Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili; Tedo Japaridze, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Parliament of Georgia; Mikheil Janelidze, Georgian Minister of Foreign Affairs; and David Bakradze, Georgian Minister of European and Euro-Atlantic Integration.

Chairman Smith Leads International Legislators against Human Trafficking, Child Sex TourismMonday, July 04, 2016
WASHINGTON—The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly passed a resolution authored by Helsinki Commission Chairman Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04) against international human trafficking and child sex tourism. The resolution was passed at the 2016 annual session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA), and has an agenda-setting effect for the 57-member intergovernmental organization. Smith, who leads the U.S. Delegation to this year's OSCE PA Annual Session, introduced a resolution calling on all OSCE participating States to work with the private sector and civil society to raise awareness of sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism (SECTT), especially by convicted pedophiles, business travelers, and tourists. The resolution also urges all OSCE participating States to enact laws allowing them to prosecute their citizens and legal permanent residents for child sexual exploitation committed abroad, and to strengthen international law enforcement cooperation to ensure that nations know about travel by convicted pedophiles prior to their arrival. "More children than ever before are being exploited – child sex tourism is soaring while protection lags," said Chairman Smith. "We must work together to protect children from convicted pedophiles and opportunistic predators who exploit local children with impunity during their travels abroad. Prevention and prosecution should go hand in hand." In addition to introducing the SECTT resolution, Chairman Smith hosted a July 3 briefing on U.S. efforts to prevent SECTT through a new international reciprocal notification system – known as International Megan's Law – that facilitates timely communications among law enforcement agencies. "Child predators thrive on secrecy – a secrecy that allows them to commit heinous crimes against the weakest and most vulnerable," said Chairman Smith. "Recent changes in the laws of the United States and partner countries are putting child predators on the radar when they travel internationally, but much remains to be done." Chairman Smith has served as OSCE PA Special Representative on Human Trafficking Issues since 2004. His efforts to raise the profile of the human trafficking problem in the OSCE region are reflected in the 2013 Addendum to the OSCE Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings, and have prompted other parliamentarians to take the lead in addressing human trafficking in their respective capitals. Chairman Smith first raised the issue of human trafficking at the 1999 St. Petersburg Annual Session, the first time it appeared on the OSCE agenda. Since then, he has introduced or cosponsored a supplementary item and/or amendments on trafficking at each annual session of the OSCE PA, including on issues such as sex tourism prevention, training of the transportation sector in victim identification and reporting, corporate responsibility for trafficking in supply chains, and special protections for vulnerable populations. In addition to authoring the 2016 International Megan's Law to Prevent Child Exploitation and Other Sexual Crimes through Advanced Notification of Traveling Sex Offenders, he authored the landmark U.S. Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 and its 2003 and 2005 reauthorizations. Chairman Smith co-chairs the United States Congressional Human Trafficking Caucus.

Chairman Smith Champions Improved Security for European Jewish Communities at Annual Meeting of OSCE ParliamentariansSunday, July 03, 2016
WASHINGTON—At the 2016 OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) Annual Session, meeting in Tbilisi, Georgia this week, Helsinki Commission Chair Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04) today called on participating States to more effectively prevent and combat violence against European Jewish communities in the face of increasing anti-Semitic violence in the region. "Violent anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise in several European countries – and there is a lot more we can do to stop it," said Chairman Smith, who led the U.S. delegation to the event. "European police and security forces should be partnering with Jewish community security groups, and the United States government should be working with the European governments to encourage this. The terrorist threat to European Jewish communities is more deadly than ever. We must act to prevent a repeat of the horrific massacres of Paris and Copenhagen." Chairman Smith offered two amendments to the draft resolution of the OSCE PA General Committee on Democracy, Human Rights and Humanitarian Questions (also known as the Third Committee). His first amendment called for the explicit recognition of the increase in frequency, scope, and severity of anti-Semitic attacks in the OSCE region, while the second called on participating States to formally recognize and partner with Jewish community groups to strengthen crisis prevention, preparedness, mitigation, and responses related to anti-Semitic attacks. Both amendments reflect consultations with and requests from European Jewish communities. Chairman Smith has a long record as a leader in the fight against anti-Semitism. He co-chairs the Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism in the U.S. House of Representatives and authored the provisions of the U.S. Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004 that created the Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism within the U.S. State Department. In 2015, he authored House Resolution 354, a blueprint for strengthening the safety and security of European Jewish communities. Following his landmark 2002 hearing on combating the escalation of anti-Semitic violence in Europe, "Escalating Anti-Semitic Violence in Europe," he led a congressional drive to place the issue of combating anti-Semitism at the top of the OSCE agenda. As part of this effort he authored supplemental resolutions on combating anti-Semitism, which were adopted at the 2002, 2003, and 2004 Annual Sessions of the OSCE PA. In 2004 the OSCE adopted new norms for its participating States on fighting anti-Semitism. Chairman Smith is a founding member of the the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Combating Anti-Semitism (ICCA), where he also serves on the steering committee. In the 1990s, he chaired Congress's first hearings on anti-Semitism and in the early 1980s, his first trips abroad as a member of Congress were to the former Soviet Union, where he fought for the release of Jewish "refuseniks."
OSCE Foreign Ministers Meet in BelgradeFriday, January 15, 2016
Serbia's year-long chairmanship of the OSCE culminated in Belgrade in the annual meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council on December 3 and 4, 2015. Key issues addressed in the context of Ministerial discussions included: Ongoing efforts to de-escalate the Russia-Ukraine crisis and the need for Russia to fully implement the Minsk Agreements. Reaffirmation of the Helsinki Final Act and subsequent commitments and the comprehensive nature of security (i.e., respect for fundamental freedoms within a state has an impact on the security between states). The assault on human dignity and human rights, including through terrorist attacks, the continued rollback on rights and freedoms in the OSCE area, and the refugee and migration crisis. Secretary of State John Kerry led the U.S. delegation, which also included Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland; Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Robert Berschinski; Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Central Asia Daniel N. Rosenblum; and Helsinki Commission Senior Senate Staff Representative Ambassador David T. Killion. The atmosphere was strained, as tensions between Ukraine and Russia, Russia and Turkey, and Armenia and Azerbaijan spilled over into the negotiations. As Russia blocked virtually all decisions on human rights, as well as on the migration crisis and on gender issues, only a handful of documents were adopted. Successful declarations addressed recent terrorist attacks in the OSCE region, combating violent extremism that leads to terrorism, and addressing the illicit drug trade.
Germany to Lead OSCE in 2016Friday, January 15, 2016
Germany will serve as OSCE Chair-in-Office in 2016. Germany has indicated it will continue the work on youth exchanges initiated by the previous Serbian and Swiss chairmanships. In the human dimension, Germany will focus on: Freedom of the press and freedom of information, independence of the media, and the safety of journalists. Protection of minorities. Combating political extremism, intolerance and discrimination, including anti-Semitism and integration issues related to migrants. Strengthening the rights of women.
Bipartisan Congressional Delegation Represents US at OSCE Parliamentary Assembly; Also Visits Ukraine, Czech RepublicMonday, August 17, 2015
Forty years after the signing of the Helsinki Final Act established the precursor to today's Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), five members of the Helsinki Commission and four other members of Congress traveled to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Annual Session in Helsinki to demonstrate the U.S. commitment to confronting Russian aggression in Ukraine and elsewhere. Led by Commission Co-Chairman Senator Roger F. Wicker (MS), the bicameral, bipartisan delegation organized by the Helsinki Commission included Commission Chairman Representative Chris Smith (NJ- 04); House Commissioners Robert B. Aderholt (AL-04), Steve Cohen (TN-09) and Alan Grayson (FL-09); and Representatives Gwen Moore (WI-04), Michael Fitzpatrick (PA-08), Richard Hudson (NC-08) and Ruben Gallego (AZ-07). Before attending the Annual Session from July 5 to 7, several members of the delegation also visited Ukraine and the Czech Republic. A central concern to the delegation throughout the trip was Russia's restrictions on democracy at home and aggression in Ukraine, along with Russia's threat to European security.

Helsinki Commission Chair Calls for Huseynov's Safe Passage Out of AzerbaijanThursday, February 12, 2015
WASHINGTON—Following yesterday's disclosure that Azerbaijani press freedom advocate Emin Huseynov has spent the past six months sheltering in the Swiss Embassy in Baku, Helsinki Commission Chairman Chris Smith (NJ-04) issued the following statement: "Through the Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety (IRFS), Emin Huseynov has worked tirelessly to defend journalists and promote media freedom in Azerbaijan. I appeal to President Aliyev to immediately allow Mr. Huseynov to leave the Swiss Embassy and give him safe passage out of Azerbaijan. Sadly, the persecution of Mr. Huseynov is part of a larger crackdown on human rights activists – I have met some of their family members and friends, and join my voice to those calling for their release." Mr. Huseynov heads the Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety (IRFS), an independent NGO that has provided training and legal support to journalists under threat in Azerbaijan since 2006. Approximately eight months ago, the Azerbaijani authorities froze IRFS' bank account and seized the organization's computers and other work materials. Mr. Huseynov was forbidden to leave the country and sought asylum in the Swiss Embassy after learning that he was likely to be arrested.

Chairman Smith and Rep. McGovern Introduce "Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act"Friday, January 30, 2015
WASHINGTON—Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04), Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, and Rep. Jim McGovern (MA-02), today introduced the "Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act" (H.R. 624). The bill prohibits foreign human rights offenders and corrupt officials operating anywhere in the world from entering into the United States and blocks their U.S. assets. It effectively globalizes and strengthens the "Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012," which was directed at individuals and entities from Russia. "The 'Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act' is a game-changer, and demonstrates America's commitment to protecting human rights worldwide," said Chairman Smith. "We are sending a message to the world's worst human rights violators: we will shine a spotlight on your crimes. We will deny your visas. We will freeze your assets. No matter who you are or how much money you have, you won't be enjoying the fruits of your misdeeds by visiting the United States or taking advantage of our financial institutions." "We have made important progress in the last few years," Rep. McGovern said. "But since the introduction of the original Magnitsky Act, human rights defenders and anti-corruption activists worldwide have urged us to pass a law that covers similar violations in countries other than Russia. Through the Global Magnitsky Act, we can better standardize our approach to human rights violators and provide clear guidance to the executive branch on how we expect these perpetrators to be held accountable." "Conscripting child soldiers, kidnapping political opponents, and brutalizing people based on their religion are horrifying acts for which people must be held accountable – and this bill will do it," said Chairman Smith. "The earlier Magnitsky Act enjoyed overwhelmingly bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate. I expect the Global Magnitsky Act to move forward with the same level of commitment in both chambers, and on both sides of the aisle." Earlier this week, Senators Ben Cardin (MD) and John McCain (AZ) introduced similar legislation in the Senate, which also applies worldwide and employs visa bans and property freezes. Unique aspects of the House bill include the requirement that the President impose sanctions if he or she determines that a foreign person has committed gross human rights offenses. The bill also permits the President to sanction perpetrators regardless of whether the victims were exercising or defending basic human rights; requires that the annual Global Magnitsky List be released each year on Human Rights Day; and directs the Comptroller General to assess and report on implementation. Both the "Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act" and the earlier "Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012" were inspired by Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who was arrested and imprisoned by the Russian government following his investigation into fraud involving Russian officials. He was beaten to death by prison guards in 2009 after being held in torturous conditions for 11 months without trial. Summary: The "Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act" This act requires the President to publish and update a list of foreign persons or entities that the President determines are responsible, and who the President has sanctioned, for gross violations of internationally recognized human rights – including extrajudicial killings, torture, enforced disappearances, and prolonged, arbitrary detention – or significant corruption. Known as the Global Magnitsky List, the list will be due annually on December 10 (Human Rights Day). Although the bill directs the President to prioritize cases where the victims were seeking to exercise or defend internationally recognized human and rights and freedoms, like freedom of religious, assembly, and expression, or expose illegal government activity, the President can act regardless of the victim. Sanctions on these individuals and entities will include: Prohibiting or revoking U.S. visas or other entry documentation for foreign individuals. Freezing and prohibiting U.S. property transactions of a foreign individual or entity if such property and property interests are in the United States; come within the United States; or are in, or come within, the control of a U.S. person or entity. This act also requires the Comptroller General of the United States to assess the implementation of the law and report to Congress, so that Congress can ensure it is being executed fully.

Helsinki Commission Chairman Urges Russia to Cease Blatant Violations of OSCE PrinciplesFriday, December 05, 2014
WASHINGTON—On the conclusion of the December 4-5 OSCE Ministerial Council in Basel, Switzerland, U.S. Helsinki Commission Chairman Senator Ben Cardin (MD) issued the following statement: "The OSCE Ministerial this year has been exceptional. I welcome the fact that an overwhelming majority of OSCE countries condemned the unlawful occupation of Crimea, defended the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and called for Russia to end its support for violence in eastern Ukraine. Russia's illegal activities in Ukraine have violated the most fundamental principles of the Helsinki Final Act, on which the OSCE is based. "Moving forward, the OSCE must focus on the implementation of its core commitments. The OSCE PA has spoken to this issue by passing a resolution I introduced in July, calling on Russia to cease its clear, gross, and uncorrected violations of Helsinki principles, not only in Ukraine but regarding other neighbors and at home as well. "Other serious human rights concerns in the OSCE region were spotlighted by the absence of some leading figures from this year's Ministerial meeting. "While Turkmenistan's current ambassador to the OSCE addressed his counterparts in Basel, the fate of his predecessor, Batyr Berdiev – as well as some 100 other prisoners – remains unknown. I welcome the Swiss Chairmanship's efforts to address the issues of torture and enforced disappearances during their chairmanship and call on Turkmenistan to tell the families of Ambassador Berdiev and the other disappeared persons what has happened to their loved ones. "In addition, Rasul Jafarov was prevented from leading a civil society discussion on freedom of expression in Basel. Jafarov remains imprisoned in Azerbaijan in retaliation for his activism. Eldeniz Hajiyev, another human rights activist, was unable to travel to Basel because she is under house arrest in Baku. I commend the 43 OSCE countries which worked to advance an OSCE decision on freedom of expression and urge Azerbaijan to cease its flagrant persecution of independent civil society activists."

Persistent Anti-Semitism in OSCE Region Threatens Security and Stability, Says U.S. Helsinki CommissionMonday, November 17, 2014
WASHINGTON—Ten years after the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) adopted the Berlin Declaration on Anti-Semitism, which outlined concrete measures to fight anti-Semitism in the OSCE region, leaders from the United States joined their counterparts from other OSCE participating States at an anniversary conference to discuss challenges posed by contemporary anti-Semitism. High-level government representatives and political leaders at last week's event in Berlin highlighted their concerns about persistent anti-Semitism in the OSCE region, noting that it poses an ongoing threat to security and stability in the area. Participating States were encouraged to intensify efforts to counter anti-Semitic acts and hate crimes. "Ten years ago, the United States, Canada, and countries from across Europe held a critical meeting in Berlin to fight a surge in anti-Semitism," said U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (MD), Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission. "I wish I could say this were purely a commemorative meeting to acknowledge what was achieved in the last 10 years, but facts dictate this must be a working meeting focused on resurgent anti-Semitism. First and foremost, this means addressing the rise in violent attacks like those we have witnessed in Brussels and Toulouse… I am also concerned about overly restrictive laws or regulations that may make it more difficult for Jews and Muslims to practice their faiths, including those relating to circumcision, ritual slaughter, and religious attire. We must break this cycle so that another decade is not lost to hate and instability." Representative Chris Smith (NJ-04), Co-Chairman of the Helsinki Commission, was Chairman of the Commission at the time of the original Berlin meeting in 2004 and spearheaded the movement that led to the original Conference, where the OSCE became the first intergovernmental organization to adopt such meaningful commitments against anti-Semitism. "Over the past 10 years we've made progress in getting the OSCE and its member states to recognize their responsibility to fight the terrible social evil of anti-Semitism," said Co-Chairman Smith, who met with European officials and activists on the topic of increasing anti-Semitism in Europe in advance of the conference. "Now we're going to hold their feet to the fire on their commitments."

U.S. Helsinki Commission Welcomes Candidacies of Germany, Austria for Future OSCE ChairsWednesday, November 05, 2014
WASHINGTON—On November 4, Germany formally announced its candidacy for the 2016 chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), followed by Austria, which announced its candidacy for the 2017 chairmanship. In response, U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (MD), Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe and Representative Chris Smith (NJ-04), Co-Chairman of the Commission, issued the following joint statement: "We welcome the initiative demonstrated by the German and Austrian governments during a pivotal moment in the history of the OSCE. The leadership of these nations, which have been committed to the Helsinki Process from the very beginning, will be vital. We thank them in advance for their willingness to lead and for their drive to advance the cause of human rights, democracy, and international cooperation among our participating States." The OSCE Chairmanship rotates annually among the 57 participating States, and is decided by consensus. The post of the Chairperson-in-Office (CiO) is held by the Foreign Minister of the participating State selected to hold the Chairmanship. The CiO is assisted by the previous and succeeding Chairpersons; the three of them together are known as the Troika, which ensures continuity and consistency in the OSCE's work. Switzerland currently holds the OSCE Chairmanship, and Serbia will assume the OSCE Chairmanship in January 2015.

Helsinki Commission on Opening of Europe's Largest Human Rights MeetingMonday, September 22, 2014
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (MD), Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) and Representative Chris Smith (NJ-04), Co-Chairman of the Commission, released the following statement ahead of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) annual high-level meeting on human rights. From September 22-October 3, civil society and government representatives of OSCE participating States will gather in Warsaw, Poland, for the annual Human Dimension Implementation Meeting to discuss compliance with the full range of OSCE human dimension commitments, with special focus on migrant rights, minority issues, and combating violence against women and children. "The Human Dimension Implementation Meeting takes place while Russian aggression in Ukraine continues to threaten basic OSCE principles. I expect this will be a major focus of the meeting, as well as Russian actions at home that are cynically rolling back the ability of civil society to comment on or contribute to how that country functions," said Chairman Cardin. "I am pleased that Professor Brian Atwood will head the U.S. Delegation at this critical time. The promises OSCE states made to one another almost 25 years ago, that respect for human rights within any country is a matter of concern for all states, has guided us and must continue to do so. I also welcome the leadership of the U.S. Ambassador to the OSCE, Daniel Baer, who will be taking a high-level study group to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp." Co-Chairman Smith said, "The Russian government's gross human rights violations in Ukraine must be a central topic of discussion at the Human Dimension meeting. HDIM is an indispensable tool for holding states accountable to OSCE commitments and most effective when both government and civil society representatives have equal opportunity to debate each state's human rights record. One issue that states and civil society must discuss this year in Warsaw, and at the OSCE "Berlin Plus 10" anti-Semitism conference in November, is the alarming rise of anti-Semitic incidents in the OSCE region. The OSCE must also continue to combat trafficking in human beings, including through fulfilling commitments taken last year to train transportation workers to identify possible victims and to improve law enforcement information sharing internationally on potential sex tourists. Commitments are made to be kept."

Question about HP Officejet 7210 All-In-One InkJet Printer
I want to use the two-sided printing option. I get an error msg: "Automatic two-sided printing module missing". I called HP. The tech was barely understandable, had no idea how to help me and cut my phone call off when he transfered me to someone else. I have some printing to do where this feature would come in handy and save paper.
Posted by wehux on
Had the same issue with an Officejet 7210.
Basically, what the printer is trying (not very well) to tell you is that it is not capable of handling the entire two sided printing project automatically - which for reasons that are completely obscure is the default setting for two sided print jobs - way to go HP!
To solve the problem, open up the printer's properties window (or preferences depending on your approach). On the printing shortcuts page, you should find a drop-down menu entitled Print on Both Sides. This drop down should read 'Automatic' (which indicates that the printer will print the first side, flip and reload the paper and print the other side without any intervention - yeah, riight). Simply change this setting to 'Manual' and the problem is solved!
Happy printing!

Make sure you follow the instructions at:
Then be aware that "the error message is incorrect. Click the Print button to continue printing the two-sided document."

On the Officejet 7200 and 7300 series printers, there is a duplex module that has to be installed in the back of the printer. If you look at the back of your printer and there is a round knob in the middle of the panel that has a lock and unlock icon above the round knob, you don't have the duplexing module installed. On some printers the duplexing module comes standard and on some models it isn't included with the printer. The duplexing module sticks out of the back of the printer about a half inch and has a push button that you press and pull from the button side to the latch side to get the duplexing module off the printer. The duplexing module takes the place of the piece that I described above that has the round knob on it.
Good luck

Fun things you can do with a pumpkin.
Good nutrition means eating a well-balanced and varied diet of foods in as close to their natural state as possible.
In the USA, fall is all about pumpkins—everything is pumpkin flavored, from soup to coffee. Shena gives some ideas about how to make use of a bountiful seasonal harvest.
Pumpkins have so many uses other than just carving them for a Hallowe'en decoration. Pumpkins have great meat to eat, great seeds to roast, and much more.
Pumpkin seeds are especially good for breastfeeding mothers since they packed with vitamins and minerals. They are naturally rich in phytosterols, chemicals that have been shown to reduce cholesterol, and are also rich in the amino acid tryptophan, which plays a role in producing serotonin, important in enhancing mood.
Remove the guts of the pumpkin and separate the seeds from the stringy insides. Lay the seeds on a baking sheet and spread out evenly. Add any seasoning you want to the seeds at this time. Bake at 375°F/190°C/Gas mark 5 (moderately hot) for about 7 minutes.
Pepitas are rich in iron, fiber, and protein. This is great for breastfeeding mothers because eating an ounce of pumpkin seeds will give you around half of your recommended daily iron requirements!
Make pumpkin butter
Pumpkin butter goes well with breakfast meal.
Cut your cleaned pumpkin in half, place in a baking dish, cut side down, and add a cup of water. Bake for 90 minutes in a moderately hot oven. Once the flesh is tender, remove the meat of the pumpkin.
For the pumpkin butter, place 2 cups of your purée in a saucepan. Add any seasoning you want: some that go particularly well in pumpkin recipes are ginger, chili powder, garam masala, oregano, thyme, vanilla, and cayenne pepper. Add a cup of brown sugar and a cup of water. Bring to a boil. Simmer for about 25 minutes. Serve on toast or refrigerate for later use.
Make a mask
Pumpkins are a rich in vitamins and zinc. Eating a pumpkin is delicious and good for you, but it can also be a great way to improve the quality of your skin and fight against wrinkles. Making a mask for your skin is very easy to do.
Take 5 tablespoons of pumpkin purée, three teaspoons of Turbinado sugar, and a small splash of cream. Mix together until you have a paste, then apply it to your face. Keep it on for 20–30 minutes. Rinse it off. Your skin will thank you!
Feed the wildlife
If you have carved your pumpkin, once your Hallowe'en celebrations have ended, a great idea is to use the pumpkin to feed the wildlife in your area. Simply cut the pumpkin into slices and place around the outer areas of your yard, not too close to the front door.
Soon, you'll see different (depending on where you live) wildlife attracted to the treats in your yard. You've made some little friends happy and helped the local wildlife find a tasty, nutritious treat.
Make chips
Take the meat out of the pumpkin and slice into thin squares or strips. Bake at 375°F/190°C/Gas mark 5 (moderately hot) for 5–10 minutes or until crispy. Finish with any seasoning you choose. Sea salt and fresh black pepper is a delicious combination, as well as cinnamon and sugar for a sweet treat.
Chips made from pumpkins are a healthy snack you and your children can enjoy. These are a snack you won't have to say no to!
Make a necklace
Dry the seeds from the pumpkin and paint them in different colors. Pick colors you'd want to go together, such as blue, aqua, and teal, or pink, coral, and red. Drill a small hole at the top of the pumpkin seed and string through on jewelry wire.
You can choose how you layer them, place them, use as many wires as you want and create a beautiful creation all your own.
Make soup
Pumpkin soup is easy to make. Clean your pumpkin out, keeping only the meat and skin on the pumpkin. Slice into four and place the slices on a roasting pan, cut side down. Add a cup of water to the pan.
Allow to roast at 375°F/190°C/Gas mark 5 (moderately hot) for about 10–12 minutes. The meat should be tender. Cut the meat from the skin and cut the slices into 4 pieces. Add the pumpkin to a food processor with ½ tablespoon of butter, ½ cup of milk, ½ cup of cream, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth. Strain into a saucepan, and simmer on low for 5–7 minutes, until warmed.
Make dog treats
You can even use pumpkin to make treats for your furry friends. Mix pumpkin purée with flour, baking soda, chicken broth, and add some bacon if you'd like. Roll out into about ¼ inch thick dough. Cut into desired shapes.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 375°F/190°C/Gas mark 5 (moderately hot) for 7–10 minutes. Brush the finished biscuits with chicken broth, just for added flavor. These will store for 12 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
